I held him carefully at the base as I shuffled closer. Seth cupped the back of my head with his hand, not pressing, just resting there.
Leaning forward until my lips were almost touching him, I peeked up through my lashes. Seth’s eyes were on fire, blazing hot and fixated on my mouth.
I blew out a hot, wet breath, letting the air wash over him. He made a muffled sound as his cock twitched in my hands. I did it again, taking delight in his response.
But I didn’t tease him for too long. As his fingers sifted softly through my hair, I kissed the tip, then let my lips part around him until the head of his cock lay heavy on my tongue.
I gave an experimental suck and Seth hissed, his head tipping back and eyes fluttering shut. They didn’t stay shut for long as he forced them back open so he could watch me with that fiery gaze.
I took him in even further, lowering my head to envelop his shaft. His fingers tightened in my hair.
Seth’s scent was even more prominent, that minty-sweet now mixed with fresh soap and a hint of saltiness, a delicious combination.
When I’d taken him as far as I could comfortably go, I stopped and pulled back, dragging my tongue along the underside during my retreat, making him groan. Then I dipped back down again, sucking him back in.
I continued to use my hands, lips and tongue to play with him, bobbing up and down, taking him further and further each time. I reveled in the soft texture of his skin over the hot, hard steel in my mouth.
Seth made a continuous series of stiff grunts and low groans. His breathing sped up. His thighs trembled with the effort it took to not buck up and force himself deeper into my mouth. His grip on my hair was almost painfully tight, but I didn’t complain. I loved all the little signs that told me I was driving him crazy.
Soon, his cock began to twitch and throb, and I knew he was close. He tugged on my hair furiously.
“Abby—” he choked out. “I’m gonna—”
I latched onto him, not letting him out of my mouth, and sucked hard.
“Ah, fuck!” Seth cursed out loud in a strangled voice.
His entire body tensed up as he came, back bowing and limbs shaking. I kept him in my mouth, making sure to swallow everything he gave me.
When he’d finally spent himself and collapsed back down onto the cushions, I slowly backed off, letting him slip from my lips. Seth pulled me up from my knees and crushed me to his still-heaving chest.
“You’re fucking amazing, you know that?” he said between panted breaths.
“You may have mentioned it a time or two,” I said, snuggling down into his embrace.
Seth had given me so much, had shown me so much pleasure. It was a delight to be able to do the same for him.
“I think you nearly sucked the life out of me,” he said with a breathless laugh. “I hope I didn’t strain anything.”
As we sat there cuddling, those words echoed in my mind, triggering a memory. It was something Everly had said when she’d been trying to warn me off.
I traced a line along his tattoos, following the curve of his arm muscles.
“I know you don’t want to talk about your exam…” I started.
Seth sighed and buried his face in my neck.
“I already told you,” he said. “I can’t do the exam on another date, and I can’t miss the audition.”
“Everly told me something.” I shifted until I could look him in the eye. “She said you overworked yourself once by playing drums for both Cherry Lips and another band at the same time when you were on tour.”
Seth nodded, confused as to why I was bringing that up.
“It was a huge honor to be asked to fill in for August Summers,” he said. “Those were some huge shoes to step into. They could have asked anyone else. There were tons of other drummers who would have been willing to drop everything to join Darkest Days on tour. But they’d watched me perform on stage and they liked what they saw. August is one of the best drummers out there, so when he got sick, they thought I was talented enough to take his place.” Seth’s voice was dreamy and full of wonder.
“What if he did the same for you?”
I held my breath, waiting for Seth to shoot down my idea, ready for him to come up with a dozen excuses why that wouldn’t work.
