Torch (Unbreakable Bonds 3)

Rowe couldn’t help the flinch when Noah hit that raw skin.

Frowning, Noah turned him away so he could see. “Oh hell, Ward. Did that happen when I body-slammed you?”

“Better that than a fucking bullet.”

“Doesn’t the water hurt?”

Rowe shrugged and turned back to him. “I’m tough.”

Chuckling, Noah moved his hands to clear skin and tugged Rowe into his body. “That why you flinched?” He didn’t wait for an answer. Instead, he nuzzled Rowe’s hair until he tilted his head back.

Their lips met and just as it did every time, heat roiled through him like a slow, enveloping river of lava. He groaned, tilted his head, marveling over how Noah’s lips felt, how their mouths fit so well together. The hot water pouring over them made their skin slicker and the slide of his chest over Noah’s made his dick throb. He still marveled over how much he loved the masculine feel of Noah’s body against his—the hair on his chest, the hard muscles. Even the fact that Noah was bigger didn’t bother him and instead, it made him feel strangely vulnerable in a way that he’d thought would make him uncomfortable—but didn’t. That surprised him, too.

Strong hands carefully moved around the wound on his back and gripped his ass. Noah kneaded the globes and rocked against him. Rowe sucked his tongue into his mouth and grabbed onto his hair when Noah groaned loud and long. Noah’s fingers moved on his ass, rubbing and sliding in the water and his finger brushed over Rowe’s hole.

Noah went still, but didn’t move as if he waited for some kind of sign from Rowe. Rowe grinned against his mouth and Noah chuckled when he felt it. Again, that warmth he felt with the laughter only intensified everything he was experiencing. Rowe wrapped his arms around Noah’s chest, still mindful of that bruise as he squeezed. Noah nuzzled his cheek and hunched to open his mouth over Rowe’s neck and at the same time, one finger stroked over the sensitive nerves of his ass.

The slam of lust and raw need that flooded him made him catch his breath, and he was nearly dizzy with it. He forgot about bruises and scrapes and began running his palms over every inch of Noah’s skin. He loved the slick, wet muscles…the heat. He loved the noises Noah couldn’t seem to stop making as he gripped Rowe’s ass and when Noah brought one of his hands around to hold Rowe’s dick, he saw fucking stars.

Moaning, he leaned back, water pouring over his face. Bombarded by sensations more powerful than he could have ever expected, Rowe thrust up into Noah’s grip, hoarse cries escaping his throat.

“So hot, Rowe. You’re so damn hot.” Noah kissed his cheeks and sipped water from his lips. “I’m gonna lose my mind.” He fumbled with something behind Rowe, then his other hand came back to Rowe’s cock, this time covered in soap.

The slippery slide of his big hand brought back the stars and Rowe gritted his teeth and couldn’t stop his body from bucking hard into Noah. He opened his eyes, working hard to blink back water that was starting to go cold and met those scorching, blue eyes. “Let’s get out of here so you can fuck me.”

Noah’s free hand slapped the wall beside them. His eyes snapped closed.

“Noah?” Rowe touched the intriguing ripple of ab muscles.

“Gotta give me a second. I almost lost it when you said that.”

Rowe grinned. “What? That I want you to fuck me?”

Noah groaned.

Rowe shut off the water and grabbed a towel. He slowly rubbed it over Noah’s body. “I had this fantasy back when we were still working together. You remember the night we had to hide out in that freezing sandpit and you came over the back of me, trying to keep warm?”

“Oh yeah. That was a rough fucking night.”

“In more ways than one.” Rowe rubbed the towel over the curly brown hair surrounding Noah’s dick. Then he held his cock in the palm of his hand and dried it, too.

Noah whimpered. “Oh man, ignore that noise. There goes my manliness again.”

“Feel pretty damn manly to me, Noah.” Rowe stroked his cock, relishing the feel of silky skin. “I thought about you taking me like that. From behind. It became a fantasy later.”

“Really?”

Rowe looked up and Noah’s pupils were blown wide. “Yeah. I want to do that.”

Noah grabbed a towel and proceeded to dry Rowe off a hell of a lot faster, though he was still mindful of any place that looked tender. In between swipes of cloth, he dropped kisses and licks and Rowe nearly came out of his skin when Noah sucked on his nipple.

He barely managed to remember to grab the lube and condom when Noah practically dragged him down the hall. It didn’t escape his notice that Noah steered them to Rowe’s room and his heart clenched because it had to be in the hopes that Rowe wouldn’t climb out of the bed afterward.
