Chapter Three #2
Baby. Tyler had thought endearments were lame, and now he wanted to earn them like sexy little merit badges.
He took his time dragging Owen’s shirt up his chest, positioning his fingers to rasp over Owen’s skin the way he’d done when removing Tyler’s pants, relishing the little goose bumps that popped out along the journey.
Once the shirt reached Owen’s pits, Tyler paused to brush his thumbs over hard nipples.
Owen sucked in a sharp breath, and his midnight eyes danced with the promise of retribution.
“Touch for touch,” Owen said. “Do you want to do this lying down?”
Tyler hastily removed Owen’s shirt and tossed it to the floor, then climbed onto his bed.
He stretched out on his side and patted the empty spot beside him.
Tyler had been so anxious when they first entered the cabin, but his confidence grew with each kiss and caress.
He still didn’t know how far he would follow his urges, but knowing there was no pressure provided a safe place to explore these new feelings for Owen.
The mattress dipped when Owen placed a knee on it.
He stretched out beside Tyler and reached for his hand.
“Hey.” His voice was as soft as a kitten’s fur.
“Don’t overthink this, Ty. Remember, you’re calling the shots.
Nothing happens that you’re not ready for or don’t want.
Let’s just focus on kissing and some light petting and see where this takes us.
” Owen smiled wickedly and rubbed his hands together. “Pretty sure it’s my turn now.”
“God, yes.” He wasn’t just trying to make Owen feel better either. He really wanted to feel Owen’s rough hands on his body.
Owen started low at Tyler’s abdomen and took his sweet time stroking a fiery path upward, making Tyler squirm when fingers caressed the sensitive skin just beneath his pits.
“I’m making a mental note to come back here and explore more when you give me the green light to do whatever I want with you.
” Owen winked, then smirked sexily. “And you will.”
Tyler squirmed for an entirely new reason as he tried to figure out what Owen meant by exploring his pits. “Do you mean you want to come back and tickle me there?”
Owen’s lips curved into a delicious smile, and he scooted even closer. “Well, maybe that too, but that wasn’t what I meant.” Owen ran a finger just below his line of pit hair. “I want to shove my face here and breathe you in. Lick you.”
“Guys do that?” Tyler asked.
“Some do, but not everyone likes it. So you try stuff and pass on the things that don’t appeal to you.” Owen leaned closer to Tyler’s pits and inhaled. “Damn, you smell good, baby.”
Tyler’s heart tripped on the endearment but galloped when the rest of Owen’s statement registered. “You want to lick me there? My armpit?”
Owen held his gaze and breathed him in again. “I want to taste you everywhere.”
That answer threatened to short-circuit Tyler’s brain with images of all the places Owen might lick.
Some of them made his toes curl, and others rendered him speechless.
“But we can work up to that.” He swiped his thumbs over Tyler’s nipples, eliciting a sharp gasp as acute pleasure unfurled in his belly.
“Oh my.”
“You’ve never experienced nipple play?” Owen asked. “Not even with yourself?”
Tyler shook his head. “I didn’t know that was something guys liked.”
Owen cupped Tyler’s face and stared into his eyes. “It only matters what you like and what we like to do together.”
Warmth spread throughout Tyler’s body. He’d never felt comfortable exploring his sexuality, even when alone, and Owen was there offering the world to him. It gave Tyler the courage to put himself out there even more. “If I try something, will you teach me how to make it better for you?”
“As long as you only do things that you’re comfortable receiving from me.”
Tyler nodded vigorously before leaning in and swiping his tongue over Owen’s nipple.
“Baby,” Owen groaned. He slid one hand into Tyler’s hair, holding him close to his chest. “Do it again.”
Tyler swirled his tongue around the tight bud, then drew it into his mouth.
“Fuck, yes. You’re a natural, Ty. Follow your gut.”
Tyler swirled and sucked until Owen’s body vibrated, and then he moved to the other nipple. This time, he lightly grazed the tight bud with his teeth, and Owen nearly bucked off the bed.
“Make this any better, and I’m going to come in my underwear like a virgin,” Owen groused.
Tyler loved the sexy rumble of his voice, so he did it again.
Owen’s fist tightened in his hair, making Tyler’s scalp tingle and his dick leak even more.
He didn’t recognize a single thing about himself or the situation, but he didn’t give a damn.
He eased away from Owen’s flushed chest, licked his lips, and boldly said, “My turn.”
Owen growled sexily as he tumbled Tyler to his back so fast the room spun.
Following his instincts, Tyler parted his legs to make room for Owen and earned a pirate’s smile that promised a thorough ravishing if he wanted it.
Did he? Could he make such an enormous leap after only a few kisses and caresses?
Owen’s swagger dimmed a little as he studied Tyler’s reaction.
“Too much?” Owen asked.
He’d used his forearms to take the brunt of his weight instead of lying fully on top of Tyler, but their lower halves aligned, and he felt Owen’s urgent need pressed against his.
It both terrified and thrilled him how badly he wanted to remove the last barriers between them.
Tyler’s heart skipped a beat, and butterflies stirred in his stomach.
It felt like he had a front-row seat on a roller coaster that teetered at the top of an enormous hill.
Any second, he’d careen down at breakneck speeds, but he knew Owen would be right there to keep him safe.
So when Owen mistook his delayed response and pushed up to move off him, Tyler wrapped his legs around Owen’s calves to keep him in place.
“It’s not enough,” Tyler corrected.
Owen pressed the full length of his body against Tyler’s and captured his mouth in their hottest kiss yet. And down the hill they flew together.
