Chapter Nine

Ethan

They burst through the door and Ethan barely had enough sense to shut it behind them.Ethan heard the click of the lock being thrown before Sebastian pressed himagainst the door and kissed him.Despite Sebastian wanting Ethan to fuck him, Ethan had changed his plans on the walk home.

Each time they kissed, Ethan experienced a surge of excitement.And he couldn’t get enough.

Sebastian devoured and explored Ethan’s mouth with both his tongue and his lips.For long minutes, Ethan became lost in the sensations only Sebastian drewfrom him.But when his hand encountered the hot skin of Sebastian’s back, desire swept through him and he pulled desperately at Sebastian’s shirt only to groan when his jacket got in the way.

With reluctance, he slid his hand from underneath Sebastian’s shirt.He helped Sebastian off with his jacket, his movements jerky, and breathed a sigh of relief when it hit the floor.Sebastian’s shirt was next and Ethan whipped it off, tossing it to the side forgotten.

Sebastian’s hand were busy sliding all over Ethan’s skin, not bothering to take off any clothing, until it impeded his way.At that point, Sebastian pressed his lips against Ethan’s neck, sucking on the sensitive spot that drove Ethan crazy. The action distracted Ethan, so when Sebastian reached for the neckline of his shirt, he didn’t think twice when Sebastian grabbed fistfuls of his collar before he ripped the material in half.

“Fuck.”The word slipped from Ethan’s tight throat.

Sebastian pressed his mouth to Ethan’s and swallowed the tail end of his curse.Ethan tangled his fingers in Sebastian’s hair and pressed him close.He loved kissing this man, his man, and would never get enough of Sebastian.

Ethan’s mind clouded when Sebastian thrust his hips forward and their clothed cocks brushed against one another.Ethan tightened his hold and broke the kiss.

“Fuck me against the door, the wall, wherever.I need you inside me, now.”

Ethan moaned again when Sebastian’s body shivered.

Sebastian pulled back far enough tocatch Ethan’s gaze, still keeping his body close and radiating heat in waves.Ethan glanced down as Sebastian’s fingers hovered above the button on his jeans.When he flicked it open with practiced ease, Ethan pulled his bottom lip between his teeth awaitingwhat was to come and shivered.

Entranced by Sebastian’s strong fingers in the same vicinity of his cock, Ethan stared at them, willing them to move.

“Ethan.”

Ethan jerked his head up and looked at Sebastian.He shivered when he could see the hunger reflected in his hazel gaze.

“If you want me, baby, get naked.”

And with Sebastian’s growled words, Ethan snapped out of his lust induced daze and shucked his jeans and underwear.He stood there, his cock naked and pulsing, in time to see Sebastian bending over to push his own clothing out of the way.

Ethan swallowed.

Each time Sebastian stripped for him, Ethan knew he wasthe luckiest man on the planet.

“You are the most beautiful man I’ve ever laid eyes on.It’s one of the many reasons I love you.”

Ethan’s eyes widened and his breathing turned choppy when he realized what he’d blurted out.He glanced up, observingSebastian’s reaction to his words, and his breath caught in his throat when Sebastian looked as stunned as he must have.

Over the last few months, they had grown closer as lovers, deepening their friendship along the way, but they’d never spoken about their feelings.

Sebastian was it, the one man for him.The one he would love his entire life if he had the chance.He wanted to show Sebastian, in big ways and small, how much he loved him.

But now he’d blurted out what he’d been thinking about telling Sebastian for months, maybe even years, and he wasn’t sure if he ruined their relationship.

Ethan’s mouth opened and closed without another sound escaping.

Sebastian stood in front of him and he cupped Ethan’s face, giving him the most brilliant smile he’d ever seen.

“You… love me?”

Ethan nodded, dumbfounded at Sebastian’s smile and easy acceptance of his words.Well, he wasn’t freaking out and running away, so Ethan admitted everything.

“I thought about you as more than just a friend soon after the start of our senior year of high school.We spent the entire year together, despite Amanda and several other’s vying for your attention.”
