Free The Four Horsemen 3 - Famine by T.A. Chase Page A

else would be able to pick up the conversation. “I pissed my comrade off by
bringing you here instead of letting fate decide the outcome. He seemed to think it was your
destiny to die while running away from the authorities.”
“He doesn’t like me—or is it that he doesn’t like anyone?” Ekundayo paused halfway
down, and rested. His muscles shook slightly, telling him he wasn’t as strong as he’d
thought.
Fami rested his shoulder against the tree trunk, and tapped his finger against his chin.
“I don’t think it’s only you he doesn’t like. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t really like most people.
He has a hard job, and it makes him very cynical about life.”
Ekundayo heaved a sigh, and continued the rest of the way down. He jerked when
Fami placed his hands on his hips to help steady him as he stepped to the ground. Ekundayo
turned, and stood with his back against the rough bark of the tree. Fami stared down at him,
dark gaze seeming to search Ekundayo’s eyes for something.
Whether Fami found what he was looking for or not, Ekundayo didn’t find out. Fami
leant forward, pressing his lips to Ekundayo’s. Their breath mingled when Ekundayo
gasped, having never been kissed before. He didn’t know what to do with his hands—or his
mouth for that matter.
Ekundayo’s eyes fluttered shut as Fami swept his tongue into his mouth and stroked
Ekundayo’s. Keeping his injured wrist close to his chest, Ekundayo slid his other hand up
over Fami’s shoulder to grasp his braids. Fami grunted when Ekundayo tightened his grip,
but didn’t move away. The kiss heated up, and Ekundayo moaned as Fami stepped closer to
him.
He arched into Fami’s strong embrace, wanting more, but not sure what or even how to
ask for it. Fami bit his bottom lip before easing away. Ekundayo whimpered in protest, and
forced his eyes open. Fami stared at him, and Ekundayo could almost see him working
things out in his mind.
“Have you ever been kissed before?” Fami asked softly as he ran his fingers over
Ekundayo’s face.
“No,” Ekundayo stammered, trying to calm his breathing down. He didn’t want to look
like an idiot in front of the obviously far more experienced Fami.
“Do you want to do more kissing?”
Ekundayo licked his lips, and the lingering flavour of Fami teased him. Did he want
Fami to kiss him again? Why did he get the feeling there was more involved in the question
than just kissing? Would kissing lead to other things Ekundayo had never done in his young
life?
“Umm…yes.”
Fami chuckled, and brushed his thumb over Ekundayo’s lips. “You don’t sound very
sure.”
He shrugged. “I haven’t done anything like this. It’s too risky. If I’m found out, I’ll be
killed.”
“Oh no, I won’t let that happen, Ekundayo. No one would hurt you for this.” Fami
cradled his face in his hands and bent to kiss him again.
This time Ekundayo knew what to do. He opened his mouth immediately, giving Fami
all the access he wanted.
“Marvellous,” Fami breathed against his lips.
Their bodies came together, and, though Fami seemed focused on kissing Ekundayo, he
avoided leaning on his arm. In fact, Fami took Ekundayo’s injured arm with his hand, and
rested it on his own shoulder.
“That way we won’t forget about it and end up hurting you again,” Fami whispered
into Ekundayo’s ear.
Ekundayo swallowed loudly, and nodded. “Okay.”
Fami dived back into kissing him, sliding one hand behind Ekundayo’s head to protect
him from the tree. Ekundayo squeaked when Fami fondled his ass with his other hand. No
man had ever touched him there. Of course, he hadn’t wanted to risk death by attempting to
find another man with similar tastes in bed partners.
Ekundayo didn’t know what else to do but throw himself into the embrace and hope
things didn’t go badly. He wanted to experience sex, and, while it probably wasn’t the
smartest thing to choose a man he didn’t know a whole lot about to be his first, Ekundayo
also
