“Some things are hard to look away from,” I say. “I’ll say,” he murmurs. He stares shamelessly. Hungrily. Making this my best morning workout in ages—and also my hardest.
“I’m already jealous of the possibility of you fucking someone else,” he says, a plain admission that scorches me. Declan’s jealousy sets me on fire. Every square inch of me burns for him. “You are?” “I am.” His voice is smoke in the desert night. “And what you said this morning?” he prompts, like I didn’t remember it perfectly. “Yeah?” I ask, letting him lead this conversation wherever he’s taking it. “Grant,” he says, his tone shifting, full of vulnerability and heat. “It’s driving me absolutely crazy.” I
“You and me fucking would be the worst idea ever. And yet I can’t get it out of my head.”
“God made sex with a man the most pleasurable thing ever in existence, and I don’t want to miss any aspect of it.”
“Fuck it.” I inch closer, lick my lips. “Kiss me, rookie.” He smiles. “Hell, yes.”
Grant: Hey, I need to tell you something. I need to tell you what I was picturing there at the end. What I’ve imagined every time I’ve jacked off since I met you. This is hard for me to say, for a lot of reasons, but partly because I know I talk a good game. I may act like I know what I’m doing. This isn’t easy, but I’m telling you anyway since I want you to know what I was thinking. I was thinking how much I want to sleep with you. Yeah, that probably won’t surprise you at all. But maybe this will. I’ve never had sex before. With anyone. And now I want to. With you.
Declan laughs. “Nice way to say you want to suck my dick.” “You know I do.” He hums, low in his throat. “I want to see you on your knees taking my dick between those lips. Want to see you crawling up on the bed and settling between my thighs to swallow my cock,” he rumbles, and my dick springs to life again.
“Because I love sex,” he says, all low and smoky. “But not all sex.” He looks me in the eyes. “When I’m into the guy, that’s when I’m the loudest.” He lifts his face and kisses my smile with a sexy murmur, a flick of his tongue, a whisper. “And I’m really into you, rookie.”
Not just any man though. The man I’m pretty sure I’ve inconveniently, stupidly fallen in love with.
“You’re out of this world,” I say, running a finger down his chest. “You’re a moonshot. You’re a grand slam over the fences. That’s you, rookie. You’re my walk-off home run.”
Grant Blackwood is my undoing because he gets me. He understands me. He gives more of himself to me than anyone ever has. I want him beyond these walls, beyond this room, beyond tonight.
“I am so crazy for you, Grant. I don’t know what happened in the last few days, but that’s how I feel. Out-of-my-mind crazy. I know this has to end, but I don’t want it to end. I want you to be mine,”
“I’m falling so fucking hard for you,” he says, and that’s it. I’m just done. I’m too far gone. I grab him, kiss him, and give him everything I can.
“I waited years for a guy like you. I can wait all season for you,” he says, his voice stitched with a vulnerability that cracks my heart wide open. “I’ll wait for you, rookie.”
“What do you know? The great Declan Steele has a weakness.” I level him with a stare, then speak from the bottom of my heart. “You’re my weakness, rookie.”
