Kiernan stared at me. “When we kissed, I didn’t think at all. I just felt. Amazing. I felt amazing. I didn’t worry that I wasn’t enough. I don’t know how to explain it.”
I tilted my head up and reached for him. The kiss was soft and sweet. Different, but just as unforgettable as our other ones.
“It was amazing. Just like you. And I’m going to keep kissing you until you believe it.”
“Mmm. So, why is it that a gorgeous man like yourself doesn’t have a boyfriend?”
I sighed. “I told you before, I prefer the casual thing. It goes back to college. I fell in love with my straight roommate. Total cliché, I know. But it took me forever to get over him. I just hated feeling so torn up and I really don’t want to go through that again. And, you know, my job means I’m away on charter frequently. It’s not easy on relationships.”
“George and Rafe make it work.”
“They do,” I whispered and kissed him again. “But they’ve found something special with each other. A relationship worth fighting for.”
“I know all about fighting,” Kiernan replied and tucked a piece of my wayward hair behind my ear.
“Speaking of which, why did you give up your MMA career? Flynn told me you were one of the best.”
“For a while, I was. But the environment was, well, toxic, if you really want to know. A lot of guys I trained with and fought against had a lot of rage inside them that needed an outlet. The atmosphere became brutal, and guys looked for any excuse to fight, in and out of the ring. And there was a lot of homophobic bullshit, too. One of my opponents made a slur about my brother, Korry, in the middle of a training fight. I lost it. I knew right then that I had to get out.”
“I’m sorry.”
“It taught me some valuable lessons and it brought me to this job, so, I guess everything happens for a reason.”
“I haven’t met Korry yet, but I can tell from the way you talk about him, how close you are. Alex talks highly about him. Rafe too.”
“My brother is the best. Always looking out for others. You two would get along great. You’re both outgoing and the life of the party.”
Ping.
“Is that your phone or mine?” I asked.
“It’s mine. It’s in my shorts. Which are on the floor. And I really don’t want to move right now.”
“I’ll get it.”
“I don’t want you to move either.”
After giving him another kiss, I reluctantly slid off Kiernan and the bunk.
Carefully.
I padded over to the other side of the room, picked up his shorts and pulled out his phone.
“I’m getting cold over here,” Kiernan teased.
I glanced over my shoulder.
“Just enjoy the view,” I quipped as I shook my ass.
“I want to do more than just look at your arse.”
Turning around, I leaned back against the door, the wood cool on my overheated skin.
“Well, we have two weeks, so—”
I lost all train of thought when I noticed Kiernan’s hands moving down his body. He pushed away the sheet and revealed his stunning profile. The man was mouth-wateringly beautiful, with miles of taut muscles covered in a smattering of blond hair and those sexy as fuck tattoos.
My morning wood grew so hard, so fast, I was lightheaded, slapping my hands on the door behind me to keep myself upright.
