Simon’s hands came up to my shirt and hetook over slowly opening the buttons. “You know as soon as I start to play withyou, they’re going to join in. Austin’s barely holding himself back already.”
Simon was right. I could see the excitementbuilding in Austin, and I knew that once he stopped fighting, Silas would givehim whatever he wanted.
“But after that…we’ll still…I mean…” Damnit. I hated sounding like this.
Simon chuckled, but his fingers brushedover my nipples and he nibbled on my ear again. “We’re going to have funplaying and getting to know each other today and then later this week I’m goingto take you out to dinner.”
That was backward from how I usually didthings, but maybe that had been part of the problem in my previous attempts atdating. When his fingers brushed against my chest and he bit down on my neckagain, logic left my brain completely. “Okay.”
He quietly laughed again as he continuedkissing down my neck. “I like this side of you, teach.”
He was an asshole—but if he kept kissing melike that I’d let him get away with it.
By the time my shirt was off and trappedbetween our bodies, he’d made it clear he wanted to be the one to strip me outof the rest of my clothes. As my pants slid to the floor, his hands movedaround to my sides again. “Bend over and take off your shoes.”
I obeyed, but the vulnerability of theposition had me moaning as his hands caressed over my barely clothed ass. Thetight, short boxer briefs I’d put on that morning were some of my favorites,but as Simon discovered, they left a lot of my ass exposed when I bent over.
“Very nice, teach.” The tips of his fingerscaressed the underside of my ass. “Last night I dreamed about how you wouldlook. But as good as that was, nothing compares to how sexy you look rightnow.”
As I started to stand so I could finishstepping out of my pants, his hand rested on my back. “Wait.”
My breath caught in my chest as he used hisfree hand to ease my underwear over my ass. He stopped just as my cheeks werebared and caressed over them again. “Have you ever been spanked?”
I hated this question.
“Yes.”
Something in my voice must have given myfrustration away because he chuckled. “I’m not going to ask the story rightnow, but there’s a good one, I just know it.”
Asshole.
But before I could decide if I was going tosay that out loud or not, he gave me the barest hint of a spank. “Did you likeit?”
“Yes.” That was easier to answer.
“I’m glad.” He stroked over one cheek. “Ican’t wait until I can leave my mark on your ass.”
There was nothing rational I could say tothat. Part of me wanted to say it was too soon to even think about somethinglike that, but the words wouldn’t come out.
I had a feeling Simon knew that because heran his hand over me one more time before encouraging me to stand. “Come on.The water is calling our names.”
Just imagining his body moving against minewith only the water between us had my already hard cock aching. But as Istraightened, I could see that we weren’t the only ones in the same situation.Silas seemed to be having fun driving Austin nuts and Shane’s teasing caressesas he and Tanner walked across the patio were getting bolder.
When Simon turned me in his arms so we werefacing each other, I expected it to feel awkward. We’d jumped from strangers tomore too quickly for it to feel natural, but all I felt was anticipation anddesire.
The way he was staring at me, like hewanted to take me apart and put me back together, probably had something to dowith it, but I decided I didn’t care. When it all exploded, it would makethings awkward as fuck, but I’d worry about that when the time came.
“I like having a sub naked for me while Istay clothed.” His hand skimmed down my sides. He was careful not to make mefeel trapped, but I could feel his ownership branding into me everywhere hetouched. “You’re going to spend a lot of time like this, teach.”
I couldn’t fight back the snarky commentthat escaped. “Don’t hold your breath. That depends on dinner.”
He barked out a laugh, but it had an edgeof rough desire that had me wanting to moan. “And I think I’m going to beinvesting in a few gags for you.”
Since I wasn’t sure how I felt about that,I kept my mouth shut.
“Yes, you can aim that sarcasm at anyonebut me.” One hand came up and he traced over my lips. “You’re sexy when you’rean ass, but that’s not how we’re going to talk to one another. Is that clear?”
Fuck.
