Chapter Seven
THE WEATHER—and it was shitty, with big, wet flakes of snow and a wind to blow them sideways—at least kept them decent on the way back to the hotel. Aubrey started on his coat buttons as soon as they were in the lobby, and Nate was already fumbling for the key card when they got into the elevator.
Were his hands shaking? Aubrey thought so as Nate tapped the card, opened the door, and immediately looked for somewhere to put his coat.
That wouldn’t do, giving himself a chance to get jittery. “Hey,” Aubrey called out as the door closed behind him. Nate turned around, and Aubrey crooked a finger.
Nate took two steps toward Aubrey, smooth and fast like he was being pulled on a string. That was a response to file away for later. In the meantime, though, Aubrey needed them to be touching. He hauled Nate in by his lapels. “That’s better.”
Itwasbetter—Nate was somehow already radiating warmth, his chest firm under Aubrey’s hands. Aubrey couldn’t tell if his cheeks had reddened from the wind or something else, but his eyes, those he could read. He wanted this just as much as he had at the restaurant, but nerves were getting the better of him.
“I,” Nate began, and Aubrey kissed him.
He reached up one hand to Nate’s cheek, traced his thumb over Nate’s jaw as he coaxed him to turn and angle just so as Aubrey parted his lips against Nate’s to deepen the kiss. Aubrey was aiming forslow, sweetbefore he worked up tosexy, devastatingin order to give Nate a few minutes to relax and make sure he was comfortable. Aubrey was already getting hard, and fuck if he hadn’t been thinking about this for weeks. But if Nate wasn’t good with this, Aubrey wanted to give him an easy out. Better to spend the night on a lobby couch than to seduce someone less than enthusiastic into a no-strings hookup.
Aubrey planned to start slow and sweet, but the moment Aubrey grazed Nate’s side with his hand, Nate made a low, hungry sound.Hemade the kiss deeper and harder and walked Aubrey backward until his ass hit the closed door.
Out of practice or not, Nate kissed absolutely filthy. He curled his fingers into the fabric at the waist of Aubrey’s shirt, tightly enough that it almost pinched, and when he swept his tongue through Aubrey’s mouth, he followed by scoring his teeth over Aubrey’s lower lip. Aubrey gasped in encouragement, widening his stance as Nate pushed closer between his legs. Nate’s dick was hard against his hip, and Aubrey relished the pressure of Nate’s thigh against his own erection.
Apparently Nate had two settings—slow andnow. While Aubrey was still trying to convince his fingers away from Nate’s chest to remove his clothing, Nate was way ahead of him, nimbly unfastening Aubrey’s belt. Nate’s stubble rasped over the skin around Aubrey’s mouth as they kissed, and the raw, sensual prickle left him wondering how much better it would feel on the insides of his thighs.
He couldn’t wait to find out.
Nate might have read his mind, because a moment later, he broke the kiss, lips swollen, eyes dark. “I want to try something.”
Aubrey waved his hand in a helplessly turned-on gesture of acquiescence. “The floor is yours.”
“That’s the idea.” Nate slid his hand to Aubrey’s fly and dropped to his knees as he unfastened Aubrey’s trousers.
“Fuck,” Aubrey muttered, letting the back of his head thud against the door as he dropped his shoulders. He hadn’t realized how tense he was, taut and ready like a bow string. Nate was taking advantage of that, pushing Aubrey’s trousers down, thumbing the placket of his briefs out of the way. He felt a warm puff of air against his cock. It almost tickled, and if Nate was going to start teasing now, Aubrey was going to have an aneurism.
Then Nate let out a soft,hungrysound, and Aubrey’s stomach swooped. He didn’t even have time to brace himself before Nate opened his mouth and took him inside.
Aubrey’s brain shorted out. He almost didn’t want to look, afraid of what it might do to his stamina, but he couldn’t help himself. Nate had his eyes closed, his mouth soft and wet and gentle on Aubrey’s dick. As Aubrey watched, he made another desperate sound and pulled back to lick around the head.
“Fuck,” Aubrey whispered again. The word seemed to send a shiver through Nate, and Aubrey belatedly rememberedhewas the one with the hookup experience. It didn’t seem fair to make Nate do all the heavy lifting, so he raised his hand and traced his thumb down the side of Nate’s cheek and rubbed the corner of his mouth. “Baby. You like that, huh?”
Nate’s eyes flicked open, went to Aubrey’s face, and flickered closed on another satisfied moan.
God.“How long have you been waiting for this, babe?”
Nate’s answer was muffled becauseAubrey’s dick was in his mouth.It was amazing, but Nate followed up by sucking harder, pushing himself down farther on Aubrey’s cock. Aubrey could work with that. It didn’t take a genius to figure out Nate’s answer.
“I can’t believe no one else has seen you like this.” The idea made him feel possessive—but he didn’t have that right, not when they’d agreed on casual. Nate hummed in agreement, quiet but desperate, and the vibrations went right to the base of Aubrey’s skull and buzzed there, setting his whole body on fire. Nate looked incredible and feltbetter, flicking his tongue over the head of Aubrey’s cock before taking him deep enough Aubrey could feel his throat muscles working. His stomach clenched; it had been a while since someone made him feel this good. “You’re incredible. Gorgeous.” He let his thumb trace the outline of his cock through Nate’s cheek, and they both shuddered.
Just like that, Aubrey rocketed to the edge. Nate doubled his efforts, stroking with his tongue even as he tightened his mouth and sucked.
“I can’t believe this is your first time having slutty casual sex. You’re a natural.” Nate sucked cock like it was the only thing he cared about. Aubrey bit his lip half bloody with the effort of not thrusting into his throat. And failed, cursing briefly as Nate choked. “Sorry, sorry. God, you’re good at that.”
Nate wiped moisture from the corner of one eye. “It’s fine,” he said, voice rasping. “I like it. Keep going.”
Aubrey didn’t ask if he was sure. His brain had forgotten how to make his mouth work. But the rest of his body operated fine on autopilot. He pulled Nate’s face back onto his dick and started to thrust.
Nate didn’t choke again. His eyes watered and his mouth stayed hot and slick and perfect, driving Aubrey to the edge.
Aubrey wasn’t going to last much longer. Not with Nate working him like this, like this was the best thing he’d ever done. He took his hand from Nate’s hair and warned him, but Nate only gave him a dirty look, like he was offended Aubrey thought he might want to pull off.
“Fuck, have it your way,” Aubrey said, and he might have felt embarrassed at how quickly he came after that, but the night was young, and the sooner he got his, the sooner he could have his hands on Nate’s dick.
