“You don’t have to leave,” Hudson told them even though his attention was on Bastian crossing the yard toward him.
“Nah, I think I’ll have Noah take me to Adam’s. Shawn can pick me up there.”
“It was nice talking to you,” Hudson told them.
“Next time I’ll make sure we get more time alone to gossip,” Noah whispered.
“I have Luci on speed dial,” Bastian hollered.
There was no way that Bastian could have heard Noah, so it must be a threat used often. Was Luci scary? Hudson couldn’t see anyone really able to control Noah.
Noah rolled his eyes. “No one uses speed dials anymore. Hardly anyone even has landlines! That is such an outdated expression. We use cell phones now. All the numbers are programmed in.”
Huh, Noah had a point.
“Okay, don’t make me call Luci and have him summon you,” Bastian said as he stomped up the steps.
“Fine!” Noah grabbed Sam’s hand. “Let’s go. Maybe Adam saved us some food.”
“He always has extras in case one of his minions stops by,” Sam replied.
Summoned? Minions? What was going on here? It was like they were speaking another language.
Not that it mattered when Bastian stepped in front of him, reaching automatically to pull Hudson into a hug.
Oh! Hugs were the best. Hudson wrapped his arms around Bastian’s back as he buried his face into the soft dark blue T-shirt. Bastian smelled so good. Like earth and grass.
“That looks like a very good hug!” Noah yelled. “The next time I hug you, you’d better not stand there with stiff arms.”
Bastian sighed as he pulled away. “Sorry I’m late.”
“It was fine. Bas kept me company then Sam and Noah came out.”
“I’m glad Bas was still here,” Bastian said. Leaning in, Bastian kissed him.
Hudson had enjoyed his time hanging out with his furry friend, but this was what he’d come for. Returning the kiss, Hudson put everything that he was feeling but couldn’t communicate into the movement of his lips and the stroke of his tongue.
Bastian’s strong arms gripped his ass, causing Hudson to moan into his mouth.
They’d started this earlier, and it was fantastic. Also, one-sided once again. Bastian had gotten to feel and taste Hudson. This time Hudson was going to get to do the same. The chemistry between them was off the charts.
Bastian began to slow the kiss then drew back. “Are you hungry? Thirsty?”
Lowering his hand, Hudson grasped Bastian’s cock through his jeans. “You know what I want.”
“I want you too, baby.” Bastian interlocked their fingers. “Come inside with me.”
“Yes please.” He allowed himself to be drawn forward then stopped. “Bas went into the forest. Should we go find him?”
Bastian shook his head. “He’s fine out there.”
“What about wild animals? He could get eaten!”
Turning, Bastian cupped his face. “He’s at home in trees. And do you really want an audience?”
No, no he did not. “I just want you.”
“Come on, baby.” Bastian was more insistent this time.
