I swallowed hard when I felt my cock start to thicken. Christ, I needed to think unsexy thoughts.Moldy cheese. Week-old gym socks. Naked octogenarians.
“Hold, please,” Rose said giddily before she got up from her seat and began circling us. “I need to make sure your feet haven’t drifted.”
Oh God.
Every exhale Daniel made drifted over my skin like a warm summer breeze. His forehead dropped as he tried to see what Rose was doing down near our feet. With his hair tickling my neck, I stared at the floor directly below me, trying desperately to keep my thoughts PG.
“Oops,” Rose said, sounding like an evil genius at work. “Sorry, Daddy Danny, you need to move your foot just ever so slightly to your right to be in the correct position.”
Resigned, Daniel’s head dropped down even further to rest against my nape for a moment before he raised it enough to apologize to me once again. “Sorry, Marshall.”
I nodded stiffly, then swallowed my groan when I felt him move above me. Getting into this new position had his jean-clad cock thrusting against my ass. He struggled to settle, whichmeant that we were rubbing against each other for far longer than we should have been. It was all too easy to imagine us naked, him stretching my hole with his giant cock as he pushed into me.
Oh God.
Sucking my bottom lip between my teeth, I closed my eyes and waited impatiently for Rose’s next instruction, trying hard to pretend I was anywhere except under the guy I was really beginning to want to fuck me so hard, I’d feel him for days.
What felt like minutes went by before Daniel eventually called out, “Rose? What’s the next instruction?”
“Oh,” she said distractedly. “Hang on.”
My arms started to shake from holding this position for so long. I knew I wasn’t going to be able to hold still for much longer, and from the way Daniel was trembling as well, it appeared he was in a similar boat. “Rose?”
Another few long seconds later with nothing forthcoming from Rose, and Daniel collapsed on top of me, taking us both to the floor, dissolving in a tangle of limbs and an audibleoomph.
“Oh, would you look at that? The tornado warning’s been lifted,” Rose said gleefully. “What a shame. Well, I’d love to play all night, but I’m so tired—” She paused her quick rambling to let out an obviously fake yawn. “—I think I’ll go to bed now. Night, Daddy Danny! Night, Patriarchal Marshall! Come on, Puppy Bucky!”
And with that, she tossed the spinner to the sofa, which startled Bucky enough to wake him, before scrambling to get up the stairs as quickly as her long legs could take her, Bucky hot on her heels.
During Rose’s little speech, I’d rolled over onto my back, and we were both trying hard to get untangled, apologizing profusely about the way we’d ended up, when something she’d said made Daniel freeze on top of me. He frowned, pressed a hand tothe floor beside my shoulder, and lifted himself enough to look behind us at the stairs that she’d disappeared up.
Relaxing onto the floor, I let my hands fall to his waist. He’d effectively caged me in, so I wasn’t moving anywhere until he budged. It should have made me feel trapped, but it didn’t. Instead, it made me feel secure. “Everything okay?”
His frown was still on his face as he turned back to me, still not moving away, his groin resting lightly on my hip and one of his knees between mine. “Yeah. It’s just….” He trailed off as he shifted his focus to the floor next to my head, thinking hard about something.
Tilting my head to the side, I watched his thoughts flicker over his face as I willed my cock not to react to his closeness. Confusion was plain to see, but there was also surprise and a hint of relief. “Just what?”
Swallowing nervously, he refocused on me. “Um… she gave you a nickname.”
“And that’s… bad?” I didn’t know what to think. Rose had spoken so quickly that I’d barely registered what she’d said before she’d disappeared on us.
“Oh, no. She gives everyone she likes a nickname,” he explained, smiling softly. “But….” He trailed off again as his brow furrowed, and he turned back to look up the stairs again. “The nickname she gave you surprised me.”
“Oh, yeah? What was it? I didn’t quite hear it from how quickly she was talking.” I winced a little at having to admit that, but she truly had been talking so fast, there was no way for me to decipher it all.
“She gets like that sometimes. You get used to it.” Chuckling, he turned back to me, an amused glint in his eyes. His expression softened as he cast them over my face, focusing on my eyes, then my lips, then the smattering of freckles that danced across my nose.
My lips parted slightly as I sucked in a much-needed quiet breath, my mouth suddenly as dry as the Sahara. Holy fuck, he was checking me out. Was my interest in him actually reciprocated? Daniel had mentioned an ex earlier, and I hadn’t heard any concern from either Rose or Daniel about anyone else. I had assumed that meant he was single, but it didn’t answer the question of his sexuality.
At least, not until Rose was playing matchmaker. But that was far from a certain confirmation.
The look he was giving me now, though, made it abundantly clear he wasn’t only interested in men; he was also, somehow, attracted tome. How the hell had I gotten so lucky? My fingers tightened against his waist as I shifted slightly into him, allowing myself to feel his heat fully for the very first time.
His pupils dilated as a flush reddened his cheeks before he shook his head and finally moved away from me. “We should probably clean up and get to bed. I’m sure you’re tired after everything that happened today.”
Disappointment flooded through me at the missed opportunity. Cursing at myself that I hadn’t taken the chance to lift my head up and press my lips to his, I swallowed a sigh and shuffled out from underneath him, looking everywhere other than him. “Yeah. I guess you’re right.”
An uncomfortable silence settled between us as we stood up, and it lingered as we pottered around the room. To avoid looking his way, I started packing away the games we’d played. From the scrunching sound of plastic, it seemed like Daniel was doing the same with the Twister mat. We’d packed away everything and were doing some general tidying up before the silence was broken.
