“More like divide and conquer.” I slid around him and opened the fridge, surveying what I had to work with. Knowing him, it would either be feast or famine as far as ingredients went.
My eyes lit up the moment I opened the fruit drawer.
As soon as Alex saw me with the blackberries in hand, he paused in his chopping. “Are you making what I think you’re making?”
Biting my lower lip suggestively, I reached behind him, forcing him to back up against the counter as I grabbed a wooden spoon. “I hear it’s your favorite.”
“Might be… but I don’t have any oranges.” His voice was breathier than it was a moment ago, something that thrilled me to no end.
“Lemon will work,” I murmured, sliding in the other direction to grab one from a bowl, our bare chests grazing with the movement. “Do you have any honey?”
He blinked a second too long before nodding and tossing his head to the side. “On the right.”
“Thanks.” I stepped away in the direction he indicated, a full-on grin splitting my face as soon as my back was turned. Growing up, it always felt like he had the power, like he was the one in control. But now? Somehow I had gained the upper hand in the daylight and I wasn’t about to give it up.
We worked side by side, the sound of utensils and cooking food filling up the weighted silence between us.
Once the blackberry sauce had come together, I spooned some out of the pot and blew on it gently before offering it to him. “What do you think?”
His blue eyes met mine as his tongue caressed the underside of the spoon. I was entranced as I watched the dark purple concoction coat his pink tongue and disappear into his luscious mouth. His lashes closed, like it was some sinful delight, and I couldn’t help myself. I flung the spoon back into the pot and grabbed his face between my hands, kissing him greedily. The tartness of the blackberry and the sweetness of his lips tasted better than any culinary combination I could have hoped to achieve.
“I want to lick this off of every inch of you,” he growled, reaching for the spoon.
“That could get messy.”
“That’s the whole idea.” He backed me up against the counter, scooping up some more sauce and blowing on it. Once the steam cleared, he let it drip down my bare, tattooed chest. The warm sauce trickled over my skin, followed by his tongue, licking and sucking the blackberries from my pec. When he got to my nipple, he kept sucking long after the sauce was gone, swirling his tongue around the peak.
“I can’t believe this is happening.” For a moment, I wasn’t sure if I said it out loud or not, but Alex stopped and lifted his gaze to mine.
“Did I misread the signals? Do you want to stop?” he asked, his voice as pained as his expression.
“No,” I replied quickly. “I’m just… I, I-I’m negative.” Oh my God. What was wrong with me?! Just blurting shit out without actually forming a complete sentence? But that’s what people did, right? That’s what adults did? Had serious conversations before jumping into the sack with one another? I mean, this wasn’t like a random hookup from an app or in a bar bathroom or something. This was Alex. I wanted to be worthy of him. I wanted to try and get it right this time.
He quirked a sandy brow before the corners of his mouth pulled into a smile. “You mean you tested negative?”
Suddenly, my face felt like it was on fire. “Yeah. The fuck you think I meant?”
“Well, I mean, you have such a sunny personality…”
“Fuck you.” I made sure it was less caustic than usual, matching his smug little smirk.
“I’m negative too,” he said, ignoring my snappy remark. “Any other questions?”
“No. I mean, I don’t know. Do you have any? Or whatever?”
He shook his head. “No.”
“Ok,” I said simply.
“Ok?”
“Yeah, ok. Let’s do this then.”
“Man, you sure know how to sweet talk a guy.”
“Do you want to fuck me or not?” I huffed.
“Still not a morning person, I see?” He bit his lip in what I think was an attempt to stifle his shit-eating grin, but it failed. Miserably. It didn’t matter, though, because he pressed his mouth to mine and slid his tongue inside. I caressed mine along his, running my hands over his chest and down his abs. Our cocks rubbed together through our boxers, as eager as the rest of us for some attention.
