Unfortunately, he hadn’t taken into consideration how quickly Bas showered. So, while he stood there, rooted to the floor with indecision, Bas turned off the shower and slid back the curtain.
This part was exactly like a scene from a romantic comedy, or maybe one of those teen movies that had been popular in the nineties. Someone gets caught naked where they shouldn’t be, and the audience laughs.
Only, Bas wasn’t laughing.
He didn’t blink, either. Hell, he didn’t even seem to be breathing. Water droplets dripped from the ends of his hair and clung to his skin, but he didn’t reach for a towel. He just stood there in the tub, his hand still clenched around the shower curtain, and stared.
“I…uh…damn.” Spinning around to give him some privacy, Kai grabbed a towel from the hook on the wall and tossed it over his shoulder. “I’m sorry. I’m…I…I’ll go.”
“Kai, wait.” Bas stepped out of the tub, catching him just as he cleared the threshold and entered the hallway. “Talk to me.”
“Can I at least put some clothes on for this conversation?”
“If that’s what you want.”
He sounded sincere, if maybe a little disappointed. If Kai really wanted to walk away, though, he had no doubt Bas would let him. Therein lay the problem, though. Not for the first time since they had met, he didn’t know what the hell he wanted.
“Will you please look at me?”
“I’m a little clothing-optional here if you haven’t noticed.” Christ, this was humiliating.
“Believe me, I’ve noticed.” His feet swished against the carpet as he shuffled close enough for Kai to feel the heat of his body. Skimming his fingertips over the tops of his shoulders, Bas followed the curve down his arms to grip his biceps. “Do you have any idea how breathtaking you are?”
Flexing his arms, he pulled Kai flush against his chest, grinding the proof of his desire against his lower back. Kai’s traitorous body responded instantly, and he had to bite down on his lip to hold back a moan as a rush of desire swelled between his legs.
“Your skin is so soft.” He ghosted his fingers down Kai’s arm to the wrist, then pressed his palm flat against his belly. “I could touch you forever.”
Bas dipped his head, whispering his lips across his nape, and Kai trembled. He kissed up the side of Kai’s neck to nip at his earlobe, and he gasped. His tongue darted out, swirling over the bite to soothe the sting, and Kai moaned.
When Bas’ hand tracked lower on his stomach, caressing the skin in slow, hesitant brushes, Kai couldn’t fight it any longer.
Spinning toward him, he framed his face between his hands and attacked his mouth with a passion he’d kept bottled up for too long. With a deep groan, Bas kissed him back just as feverishly, lifting him into his strong arms before stumbling backward toward the bedroom.
Fire burned through Kai’s veins, and moisture slicked his skin. A familiar but forgotten ache started in his lower belly and moved southward, intensifying into a deep throb with each stroke of Bas’s tongue against his own. Tangling his legs around Bas’ waist, he arched against him, silently begging for one more taste, one more touch.
Nudging the door open with his foot, Bas carried him into the bedroom. His arms locked around Kai like steel bands, holding him tightly as he fell onto the mattress and rolled on top of him. Forearms braced on the bed, he loomed above him, silent and unmoving, just watching.
“Bas?”
In answer, he dropped his head and captured Kai’s mouth again, thrusting his tongue between his lips. It was a kiss of need and promise, of an unspoken desire finally realized, and it consumed him.
Accepting him into the cradle of his hips with a contented sigh, he wound his arms around Bas’ neck and slid his fingers through his soft curls. His skin tingled where their bodies met, and the brush of his chest hair against Kai’s nipples caused them to harden to tight peaks.
The stubble on his jaw both tickled and aroused as he kissed down Kai’s neck and over his collarbone, ending in the shallow valley just below his sternum. Then he reversed his trek, capturing Kai’s sensitive nipple between his lips.
Bowing up from the bed, he arched into Bas’ mouth with a muffled groan as his pulse throbbed in his swollen cock. Bas wouldn’t be hurried, though. He took his time, caressing and kissing every inch of him in leisurely exploration. Every stroke of his fingers fanned the flames of desire, and every touch of his lips made Kai ache.
When one of those talented hands brushed along the length of his erection, he nearly came undone. Desperate with need and wound tight with anticipation, he didn’t know how much more of this seduction he could withstand.
“Please.” He had never begged for anything in his life, but he was too far gone to be embarrassed by it now. “Bas, please.”
Reaching between them, he fisted Kai’s throbbing length, stroking him from base to crown. At the top, he twisted his wrist, dragging his knuckles on the underside of the flared head, then dipped his thumb into the slit. His eyes fell closed, and a deep, satisfied groan rumbled through his chest as he smeared the drops of precum over the tip.
Then, without warning, everything stopped, and he rolled away and off the bed. “Don’t move.”
Kai wasn’t going anywhere. Even if he could move—which he highly doubted at the moment—he was exactly where he wanted to be.
Tracking his movements as he stomped across the room to a six-drawer dresser, Kai couldn’t stop the sigh that bubbled up through his lips. Long and thick, with the perfect plumb-shaped crown, Bas’ erection jutted proudly from a nest of coarse curls, bouncing with every step he took. Damn, he was gorgeous, and Kai could hardly believe he was his.
