The Law of Attraction

Alec weighed the risks. His instinct was to trust Ed, and his instincts were usually good. His libido won the battle. “Bedroom, then. I want you naked.” Alec gestured down the corridor. “This way.”

Ed whistled when Alec switched on the lamp beside the bed. “This place is amazing. But where the heck is all your stuff?”

Alec shrugged as he let his gaze skim over the stripped pine floorboards, the clear surfaces of his chest of drawers, the double doors of a built-in wardrobe. “I hate clutter, especially in here. I have an office for my work, and my living room has all my books and DVDs in it. This room is for dressing and sleeping.”

“And fucking?” Ed met his gaze and reached for the hem of his T-shirt. He stripped it off in one swift movement. His body was pale gold in the muted light; slender, yet taut and toned. The just-visible ripples of his flat stomach muscles led down to the vee of his hips where his jeans hung open. His cock jutted out of a trimmed nest of golden brown curls.

“That too, sometimes.” A smile crept over Alec’s face despite himself, and Ed grinned back at him, open and easy.

Alec slid his suit jacket off and crossed the room. He tossed it over the armchair that stood in the bay window, and then drew the dark brown velvet curtains across. He heard the rustle of clothing behind him, and when he turned back, Ed was naked.

Alec approached, working his tie loose with his fingers before starting on the buttons of his shirt. Ed stared at him, his gaze flickering from Alec’s eyes to his lips and back.

“You looked damn good in that suit—” Ed reached for the tie and used the ends to pull Alec close. “—but you look even hotter like this, all dishevelled and horny.”

Ed stared at Alec’s lips and swallowed, licking his own as he did so, then stepped closer and tilted his face up, increasing the steady pressure on Alec’s tie. Alec allowed himself to be pulled down into the kiss, parting his lips and letting Ed lick into his mouth and suck on his tongue. Ed kissed like he sucked cock, with enthusiasm and considerable expertise. Alec could taste his come on Ed’s lips. A slow burn of arousal started to build in his balls again.

He’d chosen well tonight.

Alec kissed back, exploring the sleek interior of Ed’s mouth as he brought his hands up to cup Ed’s face and take some control back. Ed’s skin was soft, with just a faint hint of stubble along his jaw that rubbed against Alec’s as they lost themselves in the slide and suck of mouth on mouth.

Ed had his hands on Alec’s shirt buttons now, unfastening those that were still done up so that he could push the shirt off Alec’s shoulders. Ed pressed close and groaned as the dark hair on Alec’s chest scratched over his nipples. He ground his cock into Alec’s hip.

“God,” Ed breathed as he broke the kiss. “Fuck… please. I need to come.”

“Get on the bed.” Alec toed off his shoes and stepped out of his trousers, taking his socks and underwear with them. He tossed the whole lot aside. He knew Ed would be watching. When he turned, Ed had pushed the duvet down and was lying on the sheets with his hand wrapped around his cock, stroking himself slowly. His gaze raked over Alec’s body appreciatively.

“Jesus, you’re hot.” Ed’s hand kept moving as he spoke. “You’re completely and utterly my type: tall, dark, and brooding—and ridiculously sexy. I’ll be really pissed off if I wake up and find this is all a wet dream.”

Alec grinned. “I’m pretty sure I’m real.” He paused to fish a condom and some lube out of the bedside drawer, and then climbed onto the bed and pushed Ed’s knees apart so that he could lie between them. Alec ran his hands up Ed’s thighs. Blond hairs tickled his palms, and Ed shivered under his touch. “Get your hand off your cock,” Alec ordered.

“Sadist.” But Ed moved his hand, gripping the sheets as he waited.

His cock was flushed dark pink at the tip and leaving a sticky trail on the skin of his belly. It was gorgeous, slender and gently curving, and so hard that Ed must be aching. His balls were high and tight, pulled in close to his body, and almost hairless. Alec’s gaze followed the dark seam back along his taint and into the cleft behind.

Alec’s cock was hard again, thick and heavy between his thighs. He’d be ready to fuck soon, but he decided Ed deserved to come first.

He lowered himself down onto the pristine white sheets. The cotton brushed deliciously against his growing erection as he shuffled back into position. Ed spread his thighs wider, eager for Alec’s touch.
