Chapter Seven

Jesse

In all the years that he’d been intimate with men, Jesse had never been this nervous. Or turned on. He undressed Lake slowly as they stood next to the big king-sized bed.

“Such pretty skin,” Jesse said, peppering kisses down Lake’s throat.

“That’s not a creepy thing to say,” Lake told him with a smirk.

Jesse pulled back and grinned. He loved this secret wicked side of Lake. “Is it?”

“A little Hannibal Lecter,” Lake teased.

“Hmm,” Jesse mused before nipping Lake’s collarbone.

Instead of complaining, Lake pushed into the bite with a groan.

Well now, wasn’t that interesting? “Like that, do you?”

Lake’s eyes were wide and dark. He nodded shakily.

Jesse gently pushed Lake until he was sitting on the side of the mattress. “You can tell me to stop at any time.”

“I don’t want you to stop.” Lake grabbed the back of his neck to hold on tight. “We both have to be brave now.”

His boy was so smart. “You’re right, baby.” Jesse rubbed his nose along Lake’s. “We both will be brave.”

“And more kissing,” Lake told him.

“A lot more kissing,” Jesse agreed. “And touching.”

Lake pushed his bottom lip out. “You still have clothes on.”

He pushed back and rose. Lake’s gaze stayed on him as Jesse slowly loosened his belt before pulling it through the loops of his suit pants. Jesse slid the button of his slacks through the hole then unzipped while Lake licked his lips. Pushing the pants down his legs, Jesse let them hit the floor before kicking them away.

They’d removed their shoes and socks before entering the bedroom suite.

Jesse stood in just his tight black silk briefs.

Lake made a small whimpering sound. His gaze moving up and down Jesse’s body. Lake licked his lips again. “Are there more?”

“Tattoos?”

“Yeah,” Lake said.

Jesse hooked his thumbs into his briefs. “See for yourself.” He peeled his underwear down his legs, revealing the ink above his groin and around. He let the last piece of cloth fall then slowly turned in a circle so Lake could see his marked ass cheeks and the rest of his back and the backs of his legs.

“Beautiful.” Lake’s fingers gripped Jesse’s hips before urging Jesse back.

Jesse stiffened as Lake’s lips brushed his lower back. When he felt Lake move back, Jesse turned. His cock was hard, had been since they’d been kissing outside, but now he was startingto ache. Lake was in a very similar situation and Lake’s dick was as beautiful as every other part of him.

“We’re both naked now,” Lake said. Nerves showed in the shakiness of his voice.

Jesse lowered himself to his knees between Lake’s legs. He gripped Lake’s knees. “We are.”

“I don’t look like the other boys,” Lake told him.

“What other boys are you talking about?” Jesse knew but he wanted Lake to say the words. There could be no question here between them now.
