his stomach and spread throughout his body, engulfing him in flames of desire that only Ridley could soothe.
The brick wall dug into his back and scraped across his skin, but Julian barely noticed. Reaching between their flushed bodies, he wrapped his fingers around Ridley’s cock, groaning into his lover’s mouth when the flesh pulsed against his palm. “Need you,” he breathed, arching his neck to give Ridley more room to nibble down his throat.
A moment later, the distinctive click of a bottle cap drew Julian’s attention, and he pulled away from Ridley with a frown. “You keep lube in the storage room?”
“Do you really want to discuss this now ?”
“I’m just saying. It seems like an odd place to keep lube. Do you have a lot of rendezvous in here?” His jealousy piqued, Julian slapped his hand against the man’s chest to hold him back when Ridley tried to kiss him again. “Answer the question.”
“It’s vitamin E oil,” Ridley answered in a mixture of amusement and frustration. “I use it on the old leather-bound books to keep them from cracking.”
“Oh.” Satisfied with the answer, he threw his arms around Ridley’s neck and jerked him closer as he laughed. “You may proceed.”
Ridley rolled his eyes, but he didn’t waste breath with a witty comeback. Slanting their mouths together once more, he pushed two slick fingers into Julian’s channel without preliminaries, pumping hard and fast as he stretched the tight ring of muscles. The burn radiated from his balls to the tip of his cock, and Julian moaned as unrivaled pleasure engulfed him.
Raking his fingers down Ridley’s back, he gritted his teeth together and dropped his head back against the wall, riding on a wave of desire that threatened to pull him under. Soft lips trailed along the curve of his neck and around the shell of his ear, pulling more ragged moans from him that reverberated around the dark room.
Without warning, Ridley’s fingers turned frigid, like twin icicles plunging into Julian’s heated channel and stealing the breath from his lungs. The new sensation tipped the scales, causing his balls to roll and his dick to harden to the point of pain. As Julian teetered precariously on the pinnacle of release, he fisted his hand in Ridley’s hair and pulled hard, jerking his lover’s head back on his shoulders.
“Stop teasing,” he growled, so overcome by lust he barely recognized his own voice.
The icy fingers disappeared, replaced immediately by the flared crown of Ridley’s cock. There was no gentle build up this time, no tortuously slow tempo to drive him mad. Surging forward, Ridley seated himself in one thrust, pausing for only a second to groan against Julian’s temple. Once he seemed to have his composure, he began an unrelenting pace, pistoning his hips hard and fast as he pounded Julian into the wall.
Perspiration dampened Ridley’s skin, and the fine sheen of sweat glinted in the single overhead light. Though bombarded by sensations, Julian couldn’t stop staring. He’d always found Ridley gorgeous, but in that moment, free of any constraints, he appeared almost ethereal, too stunning for this world or any other. He could have chosen anyone, taken anyone he’d wanted to his bed, but he’d chosen Julian.
The thought finally snapped Julian’s self-control, flooding him with warmth and tipping him headlong into orgasm. Holding tightly to his lover, he rested his forehead against Ridley’s and closed his eyes, moaning as his world tilted on his axis and sticky seed jetted from his cock to pain t his stomach and chest. With a deep sigh and a shuddering groan, Ridley dug his fingers into the back of Julian’s thighs as he pumped through his own climax, filling Julian’s depths with his heated release.
Though sated , they remained locked together for a long while, kissing and caressing while mumbling sweet, nonsensical words to each other. “Is this the part where you tell me it didn’t mean
