He picked up a few snapshots lying on the dresser. Rylie, Trevor, and Brody...all in combat gear. Reed looked closer; the three men smiled in the pictures, but they looked more like warriors than soldiers. Rylie carried a sense of weariness in his eyes, and Reed noticed the other two men wore similar expressions. Looking closer, Reed decided perhaps weariness wasn’t the right word. Maybe it centered more in a sadness of things they'd witnessed over the years. They were too young to bear that kind of knowledge, those kinds of memories.
A loud crash startled Reed from his musings. He hurried to the bathroom door, knocking lightly. “Trevor, are you okay? Do you need me to help you?”
“Nah, I’m good. Hang on! Don’t leave!”
Another loud bang sounded, and then several minutes passed before the door opened. Reed’s lips slid into a slow, wicked smile as he gazed at the suddenly naked man. Trevor’s hair was wet, standing up in every direction, but Reed paid no attention to it. His full concentration remained fixed on Trevor’s body. Just as he'd guessed, there wasn’t an ounce of fat anywhere on the sculpted body standing before him. This man was pure muscle from head to toe, and Trevor’s thick cock was jutting straight out, begging to be touched.
“You're still here?” Trevor asked, walking forward, pushing Reed backward while at the same time reaching to kiss him. The bed hit the back of Reed’s legs, and Trevor fell with him onto the mattress. A constant barrage of kisses struck Reed’s neck and jaw. Slick tendrils of wet hair brushed against Reed’s chin. Trevor’s soft lips nipped and sucked all along his neck, driving Reed to the brink of insanity. Reed ran his hands down the length of Trevor’s firm naked body, and he struggled with himself for the third time that night. He didn’t know if he could maintain himself this time around.
Trevor lifted, gazing down at Reed. A sexy smile spread across his lips. “It’s your turn to top, I don’t mind. I want you to want me.” The confession stunned Reed, stopping the play of his hands edging down Trevor’s tight ass as his heart took in some of the sweetest words he’d ever heard.
“I do want you. Can’t you feel how badly?” he asked, running his lips across Trevor’s jaw. His mouth slowly found Trevor’s soft full lips. Pushing his tongue forward, Reed moaned as it brushed against Trevor's. Reed tasted the cool mint of toothpaste, and grinned into the kiss, deepening it. He never stopped stroking the rigid muscles running up Trevor’s back. Not allowing himself to think, Reed opened his legs more, cradling the naked body between his thighs. He slid his hand up, allowing his fingers to tangle in Trevor's hair, and then ground his arousal against Trevor's. Reed groaned, knowing he must do something fast because he was quickly losing the battle with his will.
“Trevor, go out with me tomorrow night.”
In one quick movement, Reed flipped Trevor on his back brushing the wet hair from his brow. He stared down into hypnotically beautiful blue eyes; eyes he found himself wanting to look into for many years to come. With a smile, Reed realized just how true the things he heard from his family about finding the one were. Every one of the men in his family had just known the first time they laid eyes on their mates. Reed felt that pull now for this sexy, drunk man lying underneath him. And the revelation made his heart slam against his ribcage. “Will you allow me the honor of escorting you to dinner tomorrow evening? I want to get to know you. I want to learn everything about you. Please say yes.”
“How can you talk with all this spinning?” Trevor asked, reaching up to grip Reed’s shirt. “We have to stop the spinning.” He shook his head as if forcing himself to stay awake. After a moment, concern filled his eyes. “Are you saying the safe word’s yes? Are you sure? I haven’t heard that one yet. Shit! I must’ve been drugged. They must’ve drugged me. I should’ve watched for that tonight. I thought I was safe here. Damn it! Yes, I’ll say it, yes, but don’t let them drug you.” A soft snore ripped from the back of his throat as his eyes fluttered shut.
Reed would take that yes, although he couldn’t be sure Trevor knew what he said yes to. He smiled as he rolled off the bed. Trevor looked exquisite as he slept. Reed reached down to pull the duvet up, tucking Trevor in before he bent to place a tender kiss on his forehead.
Trevor would be needing aspirin in the morning and perhaps a glass of water during the night. Reed went to the bathroom only to pause at the door. The bathroom lay in complete shambles. It looked like a tornado hit it. The towel rack was on the floor, wrenched right off the wall. Clothes were scattered about, along with various bottles of gel, toothpaste, aftershave, and an electric razor. What a mess! Bending down, Reed began to gather the items off the floor, placing them on the counter. He picked up the clothes, folding them neatly as he went. The cabinet door fell in his hands as he open the small medicine cabinet. Setting it to the side, Reed found the aspirin and swept his eyes around for a glass, finally finding a small disposable one in the cabinet.
Reed tiptoed back into the room with the essential supplies, which he placed on the bedside table. Moving quickly to the desk in the corner of the room, Reed scribbled down a note.
Trevor,
You have so graciously agreed to see me tomorrow night. Thank you. I will be here to pick you up at eight pm. Dress will be casual.
You have my number so do not hesitate to call. I must say I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow evening.
Reed
PS: I thought you might need the aspirin. You had a rather fun time at the bachelor party.
