Adriano blinked, then nodded. ‘Okay.’
‘I like you,’ he said, and he both loved and hated the way Adriano’s bright smile could make his stomach swoop, could make him feel like he was hovering inches above the ground. ‘But there’s stuff you don’t know about me. About who I am that might be too messy for you to want to deal with.’
Adriano laughed at that, loud and unexpected. ‘Noah, my boyfriend of almost fifteen years has been fucking my agent, and now myex-agent is trying to force me into paying his usual percentage for any film I do for the next three years. And my lawyer thinks he might have a case. It can’t possibly be worse than the mess I’m in right now.’
Noah blinked at him. ‘Oh, no.’
Adriano nodded miserably. ‘I wasn’t in love with my ex when he left me. I was angry that he lied, angry that he put me at risk, angry that I lost my interpreter because of him. But I haven’t loved him for years.’
Noah took in a breath. ‘You deserve better.’
‘Yes,’ Adriano signed firmly. ‘Yes, I do. And I like you.’
Noah shook his head and took a step back. ‘You don’t know what I have to say.’
Standing, Adriano tried to close the distance between them, but Noah was worked up now, and he knew if Adriano touched him, that would be it, and that’s not how he wanted Adriano to find out he was a walking disaster virgin who couldn’t hold his come.
‘Wait,’ he begged, and Adriano stopped. ‘Last night,’ his fingers shook, and he had to stop for a second. ‘Last night, when you kissed me…that was my first kiss.’
Adriano’s hands hovered in the air between them. ‘With a man?’
Noah bit his lip almost hard enough to draw blood and shook his head.
Eyes going wide, Adriano’s fingers almost shook when he asked, ‘First kiss ever?’
Noah nodded, feeling his stomach sink at the way Adriano’s expression shuttered, going impossible to read. ‘Ever. I’ve never kissed anyone, never touched anyone. I’m a virgin, and when you kissed me, I came in my jeans. I’m a sad, sorry, pathetic…’
He didn’t get to finish the rest of his sentence. Adriano was on him, taking him by the wrist, by the mouth. Noah’s back was against the wall of the building, and his entire existence came down to the points where Adriano held him—by the hands, a thigh between his legs pressing against his groin, a tongue sliding along his.
“Mine,” he rumbled against Noah’s lips. “Mine.”
Noah groaned, arching into Adriano’s grasp, but he couldn’t speak for lack of air in his lungs.
He let out a rough moan when Adriano pulled back, but before he could chase the kiss, he heard a deep, rumbling voice in his ear. “Noah. Come.Now.”
And he did.
CHAPTER9
Adriano felt Noah,felt the way the orgasm ripped out of him. Noah hunched into Adriano’s grasp and shuddered all over, and Adriano held fast. He used the size of his body to block Noah so no one would see. At best, they’d think their make-out session was hot and heavy. No one would know Noah had just given Adriano this gift.
And that’s exactly what it felt like—a gift. The fact that Adriano could coax orgasms out of Noah just like this with the bare taste of his lips, the stroke of his hands, the command of his voice. It was more power than he felt like he deserved, but he didn’t want to let go. He felt wild and possessive.
As he felt Noah starting to come down, Adriano took hold of his chin and tipped his head up. Noah’s eyes were squeezed shut, so Adriano nudged at his lips with his own, pressing soft, chaste kisses until the tension in Noah’s shoulders began to unwind.
He didn’t tell Noah in words but with touch that he adored every second of what they had just shared. Time ticked by, Noah held tight to his arms, and neither of them moved.
“Noah,” Adriano said eventually, and he felt the other man stiffen, felt him start to pull away.
Adriano allowed for just enough space between them that he could move his hands freely, and he waited for Noah to open his eyes and straighten back up on his own two legs.
‘I’m sorry,’ Noah began, but Adriano shook his head firmly.
‘I wanted that.’
Noah let out a small scoff, his mouth grimacing with it. ‘You don’t understand. It’s more than just the kiss.’
Adriano squared his shoulders. ‘Okay. Tell me. Tell me all of it.’
