“I have, and I want you now.” Seth rocked forward and then pressed back, relaxing enough for Colby to slide in. Colby’s eyes went wide and his mouth hung open. Seth couldn’t keep watching, the angle too uncomfortable. Everything felt amazing. Colby sank in, pressing him to the mattress, his lips feathering over Seth’s back as he swayed above him.
“You feel so good. Fuck, this is amazing. God, Seth, you’re so hot. Your muscles on your back and shoulders are so fucking gorgeous.” Colby rested his forehead against Seth’s back, his breath hot on Seth.
“So big,” Seth gasped as Colby slid in even deeper. He was close, his mind spinning out of control as Colby fucked him deep. He pushed up off the mattress and slammed back, needing to feel it harder. Colby grasped his hips and pushed in as Seth rocked back. The pain was overridden with pleasure and he cried out, clenching the sheets in his hands.
Colby reached around and pulled him up so his back was against Colby’s chest. He gripped Colby’s hands and rocked his hips, the need to come making him crazy.
“Oh God, Colby, I need…” His eyes were closed, his face scrunched up and then Colby stroked him. Seth lost it, dropping to the mattress, trying to support his weight with his arms and shaky legs as he came.
Colby’s fingers dug into his hips as he ground against Seth’s ass. They were both breathing hard, both sweaty again and it felt wonderful and amazing, almost too good for being with a stranger.
Seth lowered to the mattress as Colby slid out. He guessed Colby tossed the condom to the floor, he didn’t know, but the man was right there, his lips grazing over Seth’s cheeks and mouth. The covers were pulled up as he closed his eyes. The hair on Colby’s legs brushed against his and he shivered, amazed that it had been that good with someone he didn’t know. Thoughts of Channing drifted into his mind and he knew sex with Channing, though good, had never been mind-blowing like his experience with Colby. What had he been missing out on all this time?
Chapter Nine
Colby woke to the feel of Seth’s hard cock pressed between his asscheeks. He pumped his hips and heard Seth moan. The room was dark now and he guessed Seth had turned off the lights at some point. It was a little disturbing that he was so comfortable with a stranger to fall asleep enough that he hadn’t even woken when Seth had left the bed.
Seth’s lips were at his neck, then by his ear, kissing and licking. He lifted his leg and draped it over Seth’s, opening for him. The uncovered head of Seth’s cock slid across his pucker and he moaned. He wished they could do this without a condom. He and Neil had a couple of times and with Neil lying about sexual partners, he couldn’t trust again. Plus, Seth was probably fucking others though he’d said he rarely did this type of thing. Seth had no reason to tell him the truth and Neil had every reason but hadn’t. Though he wanted the intimacy of no condom, he couldn’t afford to do that.
Seconds before he was about to say something, Seth let go and stopped moving as he rolled away. He heard the rustle of something behind him and realized Seth was grabbing a condom. Relief filled him. Seth was probably just protecting himself, but still it made him feel better.
With the condom on, Seth lined up and slid in without a word. Colby worried about it for a moment, disliking the impersonal nature of the coupling after he and Seth had fit together so well, then Seth pulled Colby’s upper body against his chest and began kissing his neck.
“So good, Colby. God, I just can’t get enough of you.” Seth rocked his hips slowly as he kissed and licked Colby’s neck.
“I like this,” Colby said.
“You feel so good in my arms.”
Seth dipped one hand lower on Colby’s body and found his dick. The first touches were light, feathery. After a short moment, Seth wrapped his hand around Colby’s cock and started stroking him. He needed more and twisted to kiss Seth. At first Seth didn’t open for him, but Colby kept licking at his lips until he gained entrance. He didn’t care that Seth’s mouth was sour from sleep, or that he might have bad breath too, all that mattered was being a part of this man in bed with him.
The need mounted, driving him crazy. With Neil they might have come together twice in one night, but those times were few and far between. The heat between he and Seth was molten. He was getting off again though he’d already come twice.
Seth pulled out of the kiss and began pumping his hips harder, faster just before he stilled, his body jerking with his orgasm. Colby was right there, following behind him as Seth continued to stroke him.
Neither of them said a word. After Seth pulled out, Colby turned in Seth’s arms and rested his head on Seth’s chest. Their breathing slowed as they caressed each other. He’d never felt this good, this loved, and yet he’d been with Neil for years. It didn’t make sense.
At six thirty his alarm rang and he groaned, reaching for his phone. Seth flipped on the lamp beside the bed before pulling Colby back to his body, straddling him, his cock hard and brushing against Colby’s. Leaving this man was going to be difficult, but they didn’t owe each other anything. Seth dipped low and traced his nose over Colby’s cheek, his lips ending up by Colby’s ear.
“Can we shower together?” Seth asked.
“I’d love that,” Colby whispered.
Seth jumped off the bed and held out his hand. “Come on.”
Colby was amazed by how fast and easily Seth moved. He’d felt the muscles last night, but he’d forgotten how built the guy was. He stared in open amazement as Seth used the restroom, then moved aside and held up the plastic wrapped toothbrush the hotel had left for him.
“Mind if I use this one?” Seth asked.
“Go ahead, I have mine.” They were in sync, moving like they knew each other and hadn’t met less than twelve hours earlier. Colby marveled at how easily they meshed. Living with Neil had taken some getting used to, and most mornings they hadn’t even showered together. Of course he wondered if that was because Neil had been trying to hide something.
After rinsing out his hair, Seth grabbed the soap and shot Colby a sexy smile that made him look rakish and dangerous. He pulled Colby to him and began running the soap over Colby’s body before turning them so they were both under the spray with their chest’s plastered together.
Seth lowered his head and ran his lips over Colby’s. With his head tilted back, he opened for Seth, allowing him to explore and take what he wanted. Colby’s legs shook and his body vibrated with pleasure as Seth used his whole body, rubbing his chest against Colby’s, grinding his dick against Colby’s hip, and using his hands to bring pleasure as they kissed. The way Seth put his whole body into the kiss amazed Colby.
Seth touched him everywhere, working one hand between them as he tried to press their dicks together, but Seth’s legs were too long and his dick was up higher. Seth spread his legs and lowered his hips, lining them up as he began stroking them both. Colby bent his head and watched, loving the way both of their cocks looked together. A shiver ripped through him and he bit his lower lip before looking up, his gaze connecting with Seth’s. This went beyond just fucking and from the way Seth was looking at him he knew it too. Their lips met and though their stance was awkward, it felt so right to be kissing Seth and holding him.
Seth came first, his hot cum shooting up and landing on Colby’s dick. The scent of cum mixed with the friction of Seth’s hand had him coming hard. He leaned against Seth as he caught his breath. Colby heard the flip of the shampoo top before he felt Seth washing his hair. Seth took care of him, cleaning him off, even washing between his butt cheeks. When the water turned off he was almost recovered but coming four times in one night was a record for him. No question, he would sleep good on his flight home this evening. He hated red-eye flights, but that’s what he usually did since the cost of the flight fit the company’s expense profile.
After Seth dried him, he checked the time on his phone which he’d brought into the bathroom with him. He was running a little late and would only have time for a quick breakfast before his meet
ings started.
He was about to step out of the bathroom when Seth caught him and pressed him against the door. Worry filtered over Colby, but he blew out a breath and calmed. Glancing up, he stared into Seth’s sweet gaze.
“If I gave you my number, would you call me the next time you were in town?”
The question shocked Colby, not because he didn’t want to get together, but that Seth wanted to see him again. This was supposed to be a one-time thing. Just two guys fucking and getting off. Doing this again would mean that a connection could be formed. Did he want that? Could he do that?
“I mean, if you want to do this again. No commitments, just sex.” Seth backed away an inch or two and Colby reached out, grabbing his arm.
“I want to. I just…I wasn’t expecting to feel like this when I went into that bar. Seeing you again would be amazing.”
Seth flashed him a beautiful smile. “So that request didn’t weird you out?”
He shook his head, his heart twisting. Maybe he was just down on himself because Neil had cheated. “No, more like shocked that you would want to see me again.”
“I do.” Seth took Colby’s phone. “I’m leaving it up to you to call if you want. But yeah, if you’re here, I want to see you.”
Colby tapped in his code to unlock his phone and Seth entered his number, only typing in his first name. He wondered about that as he pulled on his clothes, but this was just a hookup even if he had felt more for the guy. They didn’t live in the same town, or even the same state yet, though he was moving here, but it was ridiculous to assume they would have a real relationship. He couldn’t turn down fucking Seth one more time. Maybe he should tell Seth he was planning on moving here, but he kept his mouth shut in case Seth didn’t want to do this again if Colby was a local.
He watched as Seth pulled on his clothes from the night before. The man was amazingly sexy and sure of himself. He had no idea what Seth did for a living, but being in San Diego with a body like his and that sexy short hair meant he was most likely military. Maybe Seth needed to keep his name secret though Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell had ended years ago, he knew from experience that equality didn’t mean equal for everyone. Whatever the reason, he wouldn’t push for more than Seth gave. That’s what had gotten him in trouble with Neil. He’d wanted more from Neil than the man had been willing to give in the beginning, and sadly that had opened him to being manipulated by Neil.
Seth popped the ball cap on his head and stared at Colby as he finished knotting his tie. With the cap in place, he couldn’t really see Seth’s eyes. He shivered as Seth reached out and palmed Colby’s cock before he stepped close. Seth placed his fingers from his free hand under Colby’s chin, tossed his cap to the desk, and bent, his mouth brushing gently over Colby’s. He pulled back after a few kisses and their gazes met. Seth stared at him for a long moment before wrapping Colby in his arms and kissing him deeply, possessing his mouth and his heart with a passionate kiss that left Colby desperate for more. When Seth ended the kiss and stood straight, Colby noticed a sad look before Seth schooled his features.
“Promise me that you’ll call. I really want to see you again.”
Colby nodded and he meant it. “I will.” He didn’t move as Seth grabbed his cap and headed out the door. Before Seth opened the door, Colby spoke. “Can I drop you somewhere?” He didn’t want this to end, didn’t want to let go of whatever they had.
Seth looked back at him and winked. “I’ll catch a cab. I didn’t drive to the bar so I had planned on cabbing it anyway.”
Colby nodded, not stopping Seth as he walked out. What could he say? Don’t go—I need you—where have you been all of my life? The reality was that for now he lived somewhere else and Seth was here. They weren’t together, weren’t a real couple, and any connection he’d felt had probably been just some weird anomaly that wouldn’t repeat the next time they fucked.
Seth was gone, though his presence wouldn’t be forgotten. Colby made it to work on time and his meetings took forever, dragging on, leaving him wondering what Seth had done to him. How could one night change anything? Colby brushed off the desire and cobwebs, focusing on his meetings. He made it to the airport with plenty of time to spare but felt in a daze as he boarded. He wanted to text Seth, but the phone number was given for the next time he was in town. He wouldn’t be the needy man he’d been with Neil. No, this time he would play it cool.
Colby closed his eyes, thinking about how good it had been with Seth. Before the door closed on his flight back to Atlanta, he was asleep.
The next day he made it into the office close to noon. His boss, Diana, called him in, the look on her face serious.
“Colby, how do you think the meetings went?”
“I’m happy. We closed on two deals, but the third is a tossup.”
Her computer dinged and she looked at her screen before turning her attention back to him. “Are you ready to move out there?”
“I think so,” Colby said.
“Good, you’ll have more responsibility. I think you’ll like it. You have another four weeks before they want you out there.”
Colby sat back and stared at Diane, a little fear filtering through him. He and Neil were over, that much was obvious. He had friends, but they moved, some had gone to Miami, others San Francisco. His friends had spread across the country, leaving their little faction that had begun in school and continued after graduation. The years had brought distance as they all got involved in their lives. To be honest, Neil had torn him away from his friends more than their moving to other cities and states had interfered. Getting away from Neil was the best thing that had ever happened to him.
“It’s so soon. I’m ready for it though. I think it will be good for me.”
“Moves like this can be really wonderful. I moved here and it was the best thing for me. It is a step up in the company. The San Diego office is very impressed with you.”
He stood and reached across the desk to shake Diane’s hand. She’d been his boss for years and he appreciated her honesty and the way she treated him. He would miss working with her, but moving to San Diego was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up.
Colby left his boss’s office and pulled up his email on his phone, seeing another note from Neil. Before opening the email, he ducked into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror, staring at himself. What was he doing? Fucking Seth and ignoring Neil, a man he’d known for years, was this really the type of person he was? He and Seth weren’t actually a couple, and Seth hadn’t promised him anything, but if he lived in San Diego would that change things?
He closed his eyes and thought about the night he’d spent in Seth’s arms, the way they’d made love, kissing and holding each other for hours. It had never been like that with Neil, but deep down he had to remember it hadn’t really been making love. It was just sex because Seth was a stranger.
Colby opened the email and read what Neil had to say. It was more of the same and he was ready to move and be rid of the pull to forgive his ex. He needed to have more confidence in himself and he thought Seth would really help in that department.
The bathroom door opened and a guy he didn’t know very well stepped in. Colby pocketed his phone, resisting the urge to call Seth. It had only been a little over twenty-four hours, way too soon to call. The next time he traveled to San Diego he would call the man, but not before, even though the desire to chat with Seth was off the charts.
Chapter Ten
Seth bent low, stretching his hamstrings as he thought about Colby and the night they’d spent. He was sore and the twinge in his ass made him smile. They’d spent an awesome time together, wrapped in each other’s arms. No matter how incredible he thought their night was, Seth had to remember it hadn’t really meant anything to Colby. The man hadn’t even asked for his phone number and that had hurt. But could he blame Colby? They’d met, fucked, and that was it. The only promise they’d made was Colby had agreed to call him if he came to town again. That didn’t mean
Colby would, just that he’d said he would.
Coach Maddox yelled and Seth moved to another stretch, leaning to his right side, stretching out his adductors. He winced, then smiled as the sting from Colby and the night before surfaced again. Twisted together, they’d spent one hell of a night getting hot and sweaty.
“What are you smiling about, Mercer?” Maddox spat out as he walked past.
“The thought of our line crushing the Raiders this weekend, sir.”
The other players near him yelled and Seth gave a hearty hooyah. No one could know the truth. It could ruin his career if he were out. He’d spent years lying about his sexuality and the sexy guy he’d fucked last night wouldn’t pull him out of the closet. Maybe it was best that Colby didn’t show up again. He didn’t want a relationship.
“Offensive line, Mercer thinks you are going to crush the Raiders. Do you think you can do that?”
The guys whooped again, words of encouragement for each other were mixed with the raunchy bravado many of the men displayed. He loved his job, at least he did now because they were winning. His team was on top of their game, their plays strong. They had a good chance of beating the Raiders this Sunday, but he wouldn’t take anything for granted. The win was a possibility because they worked hard.
“So, Mercer, do you think we should take it easy on the team like the pansies you all are?” Maddox yelled.
Being on a sports team for most of his life, Seth didn’t pay attention to the derogatory talk. Trash talk was just part of the game, but sometimes he wanted to challenge people’s perspectives. But to challenge them, he’d have to be out, which he wasn’t ready for.
“No, sir, bring out the whips and make us work for our dinner,” Seth yelled, knowing that that type of response would get him respect.
Some of the guys groaned, others growled. The team wanted the wins and the successes. They were willing to put in the time required to be better than the rest. Seth moved to another stretch, rolling his eyes as his thoughts turned to Colby. Fuck, the man had been special. The one night had seemed like days together, not just hours. He needed to keep his head in the game and forget the fantasies running through his mind, but try as he might, thoughts of Colby broke through his concentration as he threw passes, ran plays, and worked hard to improve. By some miracle, the memories didn’t distract him, instead thoughts of Colby made him want to win even more.
