“I think Rayne would argue with that.”
Drayce snorted. “Whatever. Screw Rayne. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”
Caelan slipped out from under his arm and turned so that they were facing each other, both of his hands resting on either side of Drayce’s waist. “Are you really okay? You’re not hurt and hiding it so I won’t worry?”
A wicked grin tugged at Drayce’s lips as an idea started to form in his mind. He grabbed the hem of his shirt and pulled it up over his head. He tossed it aside as Caelan looked at him with his mouth parted in the most enticing O. “You want a closer inspection? I’m fine, but I think you’re only going to believe me if you check for yourself.”
Those amazing pale-blue eyes flicked up to his with a look of wonder and joy. They stepped into each other at the same time, their mouths coming together in a hard, hungry kiss that worked to incinerate any lingering worries he had about Caelan and his future. Right now, there was only that perfect mouth eating at his own and that skilled tongue winding its way around his.
How long had it been since they last kissed?
Hours? Days? Months? Yes, definitely months, and that nonsense had to stop right now. Never again. They were never going so long without kissing.
The feel of Caelan’s mouth moving along his was intoxicating. The tug of soft flesh, the light bite of teeth as they sank into his bottom lip. And the mind-melting wet slide of his tongue slipping along his.
Oh gods, he wanted more.
He shoved his hands under Caelan’s shirt and rubbed them up his back, digging into strong muscles and pulling him even closer so he could feel every inch of his delicious man pressed to him. Caelan moaned into his mouth and dug his fingers into his hot skin. As a dragon, his body temperature normally ran a little higher than humans, but kissing Caelan set him on fire and he still wanted more.
Tearing his mouth away from Cael’s, he kissed and nibbled along his jaw and down his neck, earning a desperate whimper from his lover. Cael’s fingers bit into his shoulders and Caelan widened his stance so that his hard cock was rubbing against Drayce’s hip. Searing need was quickly replacing all coherent thought, let alone common sense. That left the building the second their lips touched.
“Please, Drayce,” Caelan panted. “Let’s go inside. I need…I need you.”
Oh, but he had a much better idea.
Drayce licked along Caelan’s Adam’s apple and chuckled softly, letting his warm breath skim over damp flesh. “Why? This is a better location for some fun.”
“What?” The single word came out sounding as though Caelan were already lost to a lust-filled daze.
He nipped at Caelan’s throat one more time and lifted his head to scan the rooftop, searching for the perfect location. The warehouse they were on was one of the tallest buildings in the area, making it hard for anyone else to see what they were doing. It also didn’t hurt that there were few lights on up there, providing deep shadows to hide in. He didn’t want anyone to see his lover’s pleasure but him. At the same time, Caelan needed a fun adventure in his life.
Well, the kind of adventure that wasn’t going to put his life in danger.
Drayce’s eyes snagged on a pair of folding lawn chairs set off to one side along with a little table. It looked like some of the other tenants of the lofts would come up here for maybe sunbathing or it was a good place for some drinks after work while watching the sunset. Either way, it happily served his purpose.
He grabbed Caelan’s hand and dragged him over to the chairs, snatching up his own discarded shirt along the way. When he reached the chairs, he plucked at Caelan’s shirt, pulling it up over his head.
A gasp was torn from Caelan’s lips and his eyes were wide in the darkness. “You’re not thinking that we—”
“I totally stopped thinking the second you kissed me,” Drayce teased. He leaned in and took Caelan’s mouth in another long, drugging kiss. His sweet lover and best friend didn’t fight it one inch. Those amazing lips parted at the first touch, welcoming him inside as if Drayce was the only thing he wanted in the world.
Bare skin touched, scalding them both and sending a groan rumbling up Drayce’s chest. Gods, he missed this. They’d not had enough stolen moments like this in the past few weeks. Too much to do, too much danger, and too many people always pulling them in opposite directions. But right now, Caelan Talos, King of Erya, belonged to him alone.
Drayce pulled away and gave Caelan a shove toward the chair. “Sit.”
Caelan stared at him for a second, as if unsure of the command, but finally sat. Drayce dropped to his knees, his shoes scraping on the rough concrete of the roof. His jeans helped to protect his knees even as loose bits of gravel tried to bite into his flesh. That was all forgotten when he looked up at a shirtless Caelan watching him with wide eyes and lips parted on quick pants.
He settled between Caelan’s legs and ran his hands up his inner thighs. Caelan moaned and dropped his head back, soaking in the caress.
“Fuck, yes.” Caelan sighed as one of Drayce’s hands pressed into the hard dick straining against the front of his jeans. Drayce grinned as Caelan lifted his hips, thrusting into his touch. No one knew how uninhibited his lover could be when he had a chance to be himself. His own cock was aching and demanding attention, but he was in the mood for something different tonight.
Pulling at Cael’s pants, he slipped the button free and lowered the zipper. Caelan moaned again as his knuckles purposefully brushed along his dick through his briefs.
“Drayce,” Caelan whispered. “You sure?”
“Oh yeah, babe. This is exactly what I want,” he murmured. He gripped Caelan’s hips and pulled him forward just a bit, sliding him down the chair and forcing his legs wide to accommodate him.
Slipping his fingers into the waistband of Caelan’s pants, he pulled his cock out. Caelan hissed and tightly gripped the armrests with both hands. His teeth were clenched and those bright eyes were locked on Drayce, watching him so closely as Drayce stroked him a few times. The King of Erya had a very nice cock. Not overly long, but a delicious girth that was going to stretch his jaw.
