A wide grin returned to Matteo’s lips. “No, what you should do is help me retrieve a book.”

“Oh…okay,” Luke agreed. If it meant they could spend a little more time together, why not?

He went with Matteo as the younger man rose to his feet and sort of tugged Luke with a playful grin. They wound through the area filled with tables where students were reading, writing, or quietly discussing important topics. No one appeared to noticethem as Matteo pulled him back through the tall bookcases that stretched forever.

The bright lighting provided by the skylights didn’t reach this far into the library, and the traditional bulb lighting was so much dimmer here. Shadows grew thicker, and there was even dust accumulating on the shelves.

Matteo turned at the next aisle and moved into the stacks. Luke’s brow furrowed, and he lifted his eyes to the books, trying to skim some of the titles. What in the world was Matteo researching that they were heading into what felt like a little-used area of the library?

At the next turn, Matteo spun toward Luke, put his hand on Luke’s chest, and pushed him against the shelves.

“Wha—” Luke didn’t even get all of his question out before a pair of incredibly soft, warm lips found his. He relaxed, melting into the stolen kiss. Matteo let out a hum of happiness as the tip of his talented tongue slid along the seam of Luke’s mouth. Luke’s lips parted, and the kiss deepened, sending the most wonderful tingles rushing throughout his body.

Kissing Matteo was fast becoming Luke’s favorite thing in the entire world. No one kissed like Matteo. His lips always used the right kind of pressure. Soft and sweet as he explored, kissing Luke as if nothing could ever rush him. No, it was like he planned to spend all day just kissing Luke. Then, so slowly, more pressure would creep in, demanding more, stoking fires throughout Luke’s body until he was just a tangled ball of aching need. How could he not love all of this?

He was kissing the hottest guy in the world in the campus library in the middle of the day. How was this his life now? It wasn’t that long ago that he’d skulked around the library, trying to find a secret place to grab an hour of sleep, hoping no one would discover him and kick him out. Now he had a wonderfulhome, weird but helpful roommates, and a sexy man who enjoyed kissing him.

“Ope! This spot’s taken!” A woman’s soft, giggling voice broke through their kiss. Matteo ripped his mouth from Luke’s and for a second Luke could only blink, waiting for his brain to kick in.

“Sorry,” Matteo murmured, not sounding all that remorseful at all.

“Hey! Matteo!” The young woman who’d been turning away jerked back. Her voice was still in a whisper, but the amusement in her voice had turned to annoyance as she marched toward them. Behind her was a muscular blond who looked as if he could play on the college’s football team. The young woman was a tiny pixie who was half his size and a quarter of his weight, and yet she had a firm hold on his hand as she dragged him behind her.

“I’m the one who told you about this spot. How could you take it?” she demanded when she was only a foot away.

“I’m sorry, but I didn’t see a sign where you’d reserved it ahead of time,” Matteo mocked.

She rolled bright-blue eyes at Matteo and shifted her too-sharp gaze to Luke. In a flash, she looked him up and down before giving a little shrug. “At least he’s cute.”

Matteo scoffed. “He’s fucking adorable, and you’re just jealous.”

Heat blazed through Luke’s cheeks at his words. Matteo was insane. He was nothing compared to the hunk standing behind the young woman, but he appreciated Matteo’s words.

“Whatever. Don’t steal my spot anymore. Find your own.”

Matteo stuck his tongue out at her, and she did the same before giggling. With a quick turn on the balls of her feet, she flounced along the aisle with the football player trailing behind her as if it were the most normal thing in the world. Maybe it wasfor him, but these were all firsts for Luke, starting with sneaking off to steal kisses in the library.

“Sorry about that,” Matteo murmured.

“No problem. Who was that?”

Matteo’s smile became a bit crooked. “Karen.”

“No!”

Matteo huffed a laugh. “Yeah, she hates that name. Curses her parents for naming her that. Typically, she goes by Kay, but I call her Karen to drive her crazy. She’s in my understanding customer psych course. Loves to brag about the spots she’s sneaked off to fool around.”

A grin spread across Luke’s lips. “And you stole this one from her.”

“I wouldn’t call it stealing. This is research. I’m verifying the information she gave me.” Matteo leaned in and stole another soft but brief kiss. “It’s not a terrible place. Busier than I prefer.”

Luke tipped his chin up, brushing his parted lips against Matteo’s, teasing him until the man swooped in for another kiss.

“Very good spot,” Luke murmured prior to capturing Matteo’s mouth in another kiss. He pulled away slowly, sucking on his lower lip. Matteo pressed closer, and Luke swore he could feel a hard cock pushing into his thigh.

Blood rushed to his groin, and he fought to swallow back a needy moan. It had been way too long since he’d last had sex.

Matteo’s strong hand gripped his hip and pulled his groin in tighter, fingers digging into his ass. The sound Luke had been fighting so hard to keep suppressed slipped out. At least they were on the same page when it came to physical attraction.
