Sam did know that he and Eric would be posing as a newly married couple. The two of them had already gotten matching rings, but Nathan hadn’t put his on yet.
Once Eric was dressed and gone, Sam closed his eyes and rubbed them. He chastised himself for being so damn emotional.
“I’ll be home before you know it,” Nathan said softly. “And I’ll only be a few hours away. Yeah?”
Sam steeled himself, opened his eyes, and took a deep breath. He turned to Nathan with a seductive smile. “Well, we still have some time. Let me give you something to remember. What do you want? You want to fuck me out here? Maybe use some toys? I’ll get the blindfold—”
Nathan grabbed his hand before he could get up. “No.”
“Don’t tell me you want to cuddle?” Sam teased. The serious expression on Nathan’s face made his heart clench along with his stomach—like all of his essential organs were connected to Nathan, and his departure was twisting them up.
“No. I want you to fuck me.” Nathan’s eyes were a little watery, and Sam wasn’t sure if he should acknowledge it or pretend he didn’t notice. He cupped Nathan’s neck from behind and drew him forward.
“Okay,” Sam whispered, leaning his forehead against Nathan’s. “Okay. Let’s go back to bed.”
They undressed slowly, taking their time to feel each other’s bodies as they kissed. Nathan seemed to want Sam to lead, so he did. He ran his hands over Nathan’s chest and down to his hips. Nathan’s cock lay thick and hard on his belly, and Sam leaned down to kiss it, but didn’t take it into his mouth.
“Turn over.”
Nathan grunted something unintelligible, flipped onto his belly, then ground against the soft duvet. His hips canted back, as though in anticipation.
Sam leaned down and kissed a trail to Nathan’s fabulous ass, which was toned and firm from all the swimming. He urged Nathan’s legs apart to kneel between them. Splayed out like that, Nathan was a sight to behold. Sam drank in the long lines of his body—his defined, sleek muscles and narrow hips. Nathan’s hole twitched under the inspection, and Sam ran one finger over the tight furl, smiling as Nathan shuddered.
While Nathan might excel at taking control in bed, Sam knew exactly what to do to make him lose it. He thought he knew what Nathan needed.
Not wasting any more of the precious time they had left, Sam spread Nathan’s cheeks and kissed him right above the clench of skin and then dragged his tongue along a wet, slow path downward. Nathan moaned and pushed back at the contact, and Sam flicked his tongue around his entrance, not lingering long enough for any real satisfaction. He blew softly, letting the warm air tease and tantalize. Then he placed a full kiss right where Nathan needed it. A jolt ran through Nathan’s body, and Sam felt it everywhere they were connected. He nuzzled in deeper, probing with his tongue to open up the tight passage, breathing in the male scent he loved so much. Gradually Nathan started to respond. His muscles quivered and relaxed. Sam gave his ass a playful bite and then added a finger to stretch Nathan’s rim.
The first time Sam had kissed him there, Nathan was unsure, but it hadn’t taken him long to give himself over to the sensation. Sam loved knowing he was the only one who had ever made Nathan come undone like that—the only one who had ever been inside him. And maybe Nathan wanted to remind him their relationship was a mutual, evolving dynamic. They belonged to each other.
Soon Sam’s own need became overpowering. His cock pulsed between his thighs as he reached for the lube.
“No. Just you.” Nathan looked over his shoulder. His eyes were dark with desire and another, more vulnerable emotion.
“It might hurt,” Sam gritted through his teeth.
“I’ll be fine.” Nathan arched his back in defiance. “Do it.”
Sam instinctively obeyed the commanding authority of his tone. With fingers shaking from arousal and emotion,
