Story: Fall for You

“Seb broke up with me last year because of you.I have no cluewhat he sees in you, but I want you to tell him you don’t want him and then tell him to get back together with me.”

Ethan had no clue how to respond to that ridiculous request, so he stayed silent.

“What?You’re telling me he’s a fag now?”

Ethan was sure that everyone within a five-mile radius heard her hateful comment, but instead of flinching, Ethan stood and clenched his fists at his side.And for the first time in a while, he used his height to his advantage.

“That’s a small minded and hateful term, but it’s not like I expected any different coming from you, Amber.”Ethan stepped forward and glared down at her.“I’ll tell you this one time.I don’t give a fuck what you have to say about me because I don't careabout you or your opinions, but you will not disrespect Sebastian.So watch your fucking mouth.”The last few words came out as a growl.

Amber stepped back, processing his words as she blinked up at Ethan.The look she gave him was half-blank, half-concerned.

“I demand to see Seb, right now.”

“Wow, you’re stupid.He’s not home.”

Amber’s hand shot out, and he had time tograb her wrist, but he decided not to move.The sound of the slap echoed in the deserted hallway, but the force behind it didn’t register with Ethan.

What shocked him was the low growl coming from the door downstairs, growing louder as it Sebastian moved up the stairs toward him.

“What the fuck are you doing, Amber?You assaulted Ethan and if he wanted to press charges, I would stand behind him and tell the police I witnessed it.”

The change in Amber’s demeanor was instantaneous, and it shocked Ethan more than the slap had.She giggled and turned toward Sebastian, who stood a few feet away from the front door. Sebastian radiated anger in waves and Amberignored Ethan, happy she was getting what she wanted. When she moved to drape her arms over his shoulders, he jerked of her reach.

“Get the fuck away from me.”

She dropped her arms to her side and looked confused at Sebastian’s obvious hostility toward her.

Sebastian passed Amber without looking at her again and wrapped his arm around Ethan’s back, bringing his free hand to cup Ethan’s unblemished cheek.

“Are you okay, baby?”

“Fine, love.No worries.”

Sebastian kissed him then and Ethan’s thoughts scattered as sensation took over and he kissed Sebastian back.A shocked gasp registered with Ethan as he lost himself in Sebastian’s scent and his firm lips pressed against his own.

Several minutes later, they broke apart and took deep breaths, and Ethan rested his forehead on Sebastian’s.

“Hi,” Ethan breathed.

“Hi, baby.I missed you.”

Ethan smiled, but out of his periphery, he watchedAmber’s hand latch onto Sebastian’s arm as she tried to pull him away from Ethan.He smiled at Sebastian, who rolled his eyes before he turned to glare at her.

“I told you I wanted nothing to do with you, and tried to be nice, but that hasn’t worked.Here’s the truth. It was a mistake to ask you out. It's always been Ethan, not you.I broke up with you becauseI thought I saw him kissing another man.You cheated on me, which is why we stopped having sex after we got together.It was convenient to keep you around, but that was a mistake.I don’t ever, and I mean ever, want to see you again.Get… out.”

Sebastian gripped Ethan’s waist with both hands and walked him back into their loft.His hazel eyes never left Ethan’s dark green ones.He loved it when Sebastian took charge, in bed but sometimes out.Sebastian didn’t speak as he slammed the door in Amber’s face and locked it.

Sebastian whirled Ethan around until he pressed his back against the door. His mouth was devoured in a kiss that hardened his already half-stiff cock. His body shook with raw need by the time Sebastian broke off the kiss and they gasped for breath.

He spotted a spark in Sebastian’s eyes and Ethan shivered from the intensity of that look.

“It’s time, baby.”

Ethan slid his hand over Sebastian’s chest and flicked one of his clothed nipples with his thumb.When Sebastian moaned, Ethan ran his hands over the hard planes of his stomach and lower until his hand pressedagainst his hard cock straining in his jeans.

“Time for what, love?”Ethan smiled when Sebastian groaned at his touch.

“I want you to fuck me.”
