Free Out Of The Shadows by Julia Davies Page A

going to leave him. He lay there for a while, thinking, wishing that Jai would wake up.
    Then again, maybe he could amuse himself, he decided as he pushed the covers back. He rose to his knees and took the time to admire the sight before him; he’d seen Jai naked, but he hadn’t really taken the time to look. He had always felt too self-conscious. Now, his eyes took in every tiny detail before he reached out to touch. At the light touch of his fingers Jai shifted in his sleep. Dane kept exploring, moving lower, Jai moaning softly as Dane’s knuckles brushed his dick. He grinned and did it again.

    Jai awoke a short time later, lying on his back. He didn’t open his eyes straight away, instead relishing in the feeling of a hot, wet mouth closing over the tip of his cock. His breath caught as hands on his thighs moved them further apart, wide shoulders settling between, getting comfortable. His cock was licked base to tip, the tongue curling around it before lips closed over the head again. Dane, it appeared, had grown impatient of waiting for him to wake up and had taken matters into his own hands. Literally. Just a few weeks ago, Dane would never have initiated like this, but he seemed to have gained confidence and decided to let his hair down. Jai thought it figuratively but he also loved the way that Dane’s long hair tickled his inner thighs and groin.
    Opening his eyes, he propped himself on his elbows to look down his body at Dane. The other man’s head was buried in his groin he lapped and sucked.

    Dane looked up and his gaze locked with Jai’s. He smiled as he ran his tongue over the very tip of Jai’s cock, making the other man shudder in delight. Jai’s fingers raked through his hair, toying with him as he continued his ministrations. It gave him a rush of pleasure to see how much Jai appeared to be enjoying this. He continued until Jai began to buck his hips up off the bed, finally shuddering, crying out as he came. He unclenched his fists from Dane’s hair and fell back onto the bed, panting for breath as Dane licked him clean and crawled up his body to drape himself full length over Jai.
    “I always wondered what it would be like to wake you that way,” he said. “I didn’t know if you would want me to—you didn’t mind, did you?”
    Jai chuckled and pulled him down to kiss him. “You can wake me up like that any time you like.” He slipped a hand between them, closing his hand around Dane’s erection. “Let me take care of that for you, babe.”
    Dane rolled onto his back, propped against the pillows, as Jai moved down the bed.

    When the phone rang the following morning, Jai and Dane had only just fallen asleep.
    “Dane, we’re collecting Michael in two hours,” he said after answering his phone.
    Seeing that Dane was drifting back to sleep, Jai got out of bed. He needed a shower before he dared go anywhere near Michael; a wolf would smell Dane’s scent on him straight away. They should have cleaned up before dozing off, but it had just been so lovely to laze in his mate’s arms afterwards. 
    “If you get up now I’ll let you share my shower,” he said over his shoulder, heading for the ensuite.
    Before he even had the shower started, Dane was there. He grinned—bribery, he knew, would get him everywhere.
    An hour and a half later, Jai checked them out of the hotel as Dane went to start the car. They drove back to Eric’s house, where Max and Elizabeth were waiting outside.
    “It’s a damn good job they know,” Jai commented, noting the dopey grin on Dane’s face and the sated look in his eyes, “Because you look as though you’ve just been thoroughly fucked.”
    Dane’s grin widened. “Well whose fault would that be?”
    “I never heard you complaining,” Jai said as he got out. He met Dane at the front of the car, leaning closer to whisper, “Begging, maybe, but not complaining.”
