As joy surged through him, he slanted his mouth and deepened the kiss, swallowing Ethan’s moan and holding him tight to his body.

His cock grew hard when Ethan surprised him and sucked on his tongue.With a quick movement, he had Ethan pressed against the wall and deepened the kiss.Soon, way too soon, he broke off the kiss to breathe.

“Let’s go home.”

Ethan, his eyes glazed with desire, managed a nod.It was enough of a signal for Sebastian, who reached for his hand and smiled when Ethan weaved their fingers together.

On their way out they ran into Amber and two her ex-boyfriends.It dawned on Sebastian in that moment why she couldn’t forget about their failed relationship.He’d broken up with her and with all of her other relationships, she had been the one who’d set the rules and broke it off first.Since she couldn’t control Sebastian, could never control him, she sought revenge because she believed Ethan was the reason they broke up.It wouldn’t dawn on her he didn’t want to be with her.

He hadn’t talked to her since she’d slapped Ethan.He blocked her number, but she continued trying to call with unknown numbers, which he never answered.As he looked at her, her face flushed with anger and her gaze locked on Ethan, he understoodwhy the other men were there.

Regret filled Sebastian’s chest, making it hard to breathe.He had chosen her, for a time, over Ethan.And because of his stupidity, he’d hurt Ethan.But so had Amber, and he would never allow her to target Ethanagain.

Sebastian squeezed Ethan’s hand and when he glanced up, he nodded.Ethan understood they would ignore her and head home.They walked away and Amber moved and blocked their path.

“What you think you’re doing, Seb. You're mine.” Amber spit.

“Well, Amber, since I hate being called Seb and I’ve asked you countless times not to call me that, I’ll keep walking.”

She huffed.“Do you think people will accept you?They won’t.You’re gay.”Her voice rose as each word shot out of her mouth.“But if you come back, I’ll make everyone leave you alone.”

Sebastian glanced at Ethan, who had a hand over his mouth as he shook with laughter, his eyes sparkling as he met Sebastian’s gaze.Sebastian couldn’t help but smile.

Before they could walk off, they ripped Ethan from his arms and he spotted two of Amber’s exes surround him.

Amber’s hand gripped Sebastian’s wrist and dug her nails into his skin.“They’ll show himnot to mess with what’s mine.”

“You never learn, do you,” Sebastian growled.He yanked his arm away from her and started toward Ethan, ready to kick someone’s ass.He stopped a few feet away when Ethan smiled at the two, a vicious warning they didn’t understand.

“It’s best to walk away now.”Sebastian smiled.

When they didn’t listen, Sebastian pulled out his cell and recorded video, in case they accused Ethan of assaulting them first.Amber ran into the frame and shouted at them to attack Ethan.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”

Amber turned toward Sebastian and her brows drew down, wondering why he hadn’t stepped up to protect Ethan.But he shrugged, waiting to see if the two had enough sense to listen to their instincts and run.

Again, she demanded they attack Ethan.

Sebastian realized over the past few minutes, they had attracted quite a crowd.Sebastian continued to film as Ethan shifted onto his back foot, bracing himself for the attack.

One man charged.Ethan crouched down and with a sweeping kick, he knocked the feet out from under his attacker.Sebastian watched as the man landed hard on his back.The man wheezed, trying to get air back into his lungs, and based on how he moved, he was out of the fight.

Ethan stood and waited for the next attack.It came soon after.

A fist flew toward Ethan, but he moved behind the man and grabbed the attacker’s arm.With quick movements, Ethan directed the attacker’s fist back toward his own face, and he knocked himself out from the momentum of his own fist.Ethan stepped back as the man dropped to the ground, unconscious.

Amber screeched as she moved to blindside Ethan with a strike to his face, but he grabbed her wrist in his hand and pulled her close.

“You only get one shot, and you’ve taken it.”Ethan pushed her away from him.

The murmur of the crowd grew louder and realization dawned on Amber the fight hadn’t gone her way.She fled without a word or a glance at the two men who she’d convinced to fight a stranger.

Sebastian stepped over the unconscious one and pulled Ethan in for a kiss.There were whispers, but once someone whistled and another commented their kiss was “hot,” the kiss ended and the crowd dispersed.

“I don’t think they’ll bother us again.”

Sebastian laughed and pulled Ethan to his side.“I’ve never been so turned on in my life, watching you move like that.Wanna head home and you can fuck me?”

Without a word, Ethan grabbed his hand and hurried them both toward their place, making Sebastian laugh.

Ethan turned and with a serious look on his face, spoke.“I’m going push you against the front door and drop to my knees.Then I’m going to pull your cock out and suck you until you come down my throat.Then, and only then, will I take you into our bedroom and fuck you until you scream my name and come all over my chest.”

His laughter turned into a groan.“Fuck.”

Ethan laughed, and he knew, Sebastian knew, he wanted Ethan forever.
