Free Antonia's Bargain by Kate Pearce Page B

have
    already promised her I will not take her virginity.” He took Peter’s hand, placed it over
    his covered cock and waited until he began to move his fingers. “Hoist by my own
    petard.”
    Peter grinned. “Your petard feels remarkably fine to me. Let me attend to you.”
    “Let’s see who gets attended to first.”
    Gideon shoved Peter onto his back and straddled him. He pressed his satin-covered
    cock against Peter’s half-uncovered erection and enjoyed the pressure and roughness of
    the rocking motion. Satin against skin, smoothness against hot, hard flesh. For him,
    touching a man could be so much simpler than touching a woman. There was no fear of
    being too rough or too demanding. No fear of becoming emotionally involved. A man
    simply used his own strength to control his lover. With a hoarse shout, Peter grabbed
    Gideon’s arm and rolled him onto his front. Gideon’s shirt ripped as it was pulled over
    his head.
    Facedown on the carpet, he shuddered as Peter dripped warm oil on his naked
    back. He tried to roll over. Peter held his arm clamped to his side and brought his knee
    up and planted it on Gideon’s back. Gideon grunted as his hips and swollen cock were
    ground into the carpet.

    Antonia’s Bargain
    He tried to keep still as Peter spread the oil over his skin. His heart rate increased,
    mimicking the thick steady pulse of his thickening shaft until he groaned. Peter slid his
    hand around to massage Gideon’s chest, grazing the hard points of his nipples.
    “Don’t you wish you’d taken off your breeches now, Gideon?” Peter increased the
    rocking motion of his knee. “Because I’m not going to help you out of them until you
    beg. And then I’m going to use my teeth.”
    When Peter shifted his weight to reach for more oil, Gideon half rolled to one side
    and dislodged Peter. With a growl he pinned him beneath him.
    “That’s better.” He bent and nipped Pete’s nipple. “I always prefer to be on top.”
    Peter slid his hands up over Gideon’s taut stomach and massaged more of the
    sandalwood-scented oil onto his chest. “Does she let you touch her like this?”
    “To some extent. I have made no secret of my desire to seduce her.”
    Peter’s nimble fingers eased beneath the closed waistband of Gideon’s breeches and
    down between his buttocks, pulling the front even tighter over his straining cock.
    Gideon gritted his teeth. All he could hear was the thunder of blood pumping through
    his constricted shaft. “She refuses to tell me her real name. She refuses to acknowledge
    me at the ton balls we both attend.”
    “You have approached her there?” Peter gasped as Gideon wrapped a fist around
    his cock. “From what I saw this evening, you were avoiding someone, not courting
    them.”
    Gideon worked Peter’s cock, his strokes hard and fast just as he knew his friend
    liked it. “It’s true; I haven’t approached her yet in her proper milieu. I’ve been hoping
    she’d come to me.”
    “You’re an arrogant bastard. I’ll come for you if you keep that up.”
    Gideon grinned down at Peter and kept up the fast pace. “You need this more than
    I do.” He bent his head to suck Peter’s nipple, his left hand slid beneath Peter’s balls
    and headed toward his arse. “Let’s see how quickly I can make you beg.”

    Antonia curtseyed to the Scottish Lord Kinsale, her latest partner and allowed him
    to take her back to her aunt. He was one of her cousin’s preferred suitors which meant
    he was dull, worthy and annoying. Despite being only thirty, his manners were those of
    an elderly gentleman. He treated Antonia like a child which did nothing to endear him
    to her.
    At the start of the ball she believed she had glimpsed Gideon by the door talking to
    an older man who resembled him enough to be his father. Gideon’s expression had not
    been pleasant. He disappeared soon afterwards in the company of a tall blond man and
    had not returned.
