Taking It Slow - Reese Knightley Page 0,36

his breath, couldn’t take his eyes off of Spencer’s profile.

Time seemed suspended and Liam suddenly held his breath waiting for Spencer to voice his regret when the soldier turned.

Surprise held him mute when Spencer took his hand and pulled him down the long hallway to the master bedroom suite.

He found his words at the doorway to his room.

“Spencer?”

“Yeah?” The soldier turned and stared into his eyes.

“What happened to friends only?” His mouth dried up at the question, but this was his life he was putting in jeopardy because if Spencer turned away this time, it would fucking kill him.

Spencer let out a deep sigh and walked to sit on the edge of the bed.

Liam moved closer and crouched in front of Spencer. Placing his hands on the man’s knees, he gazed into bright blue eyes.

“Talk to me.”

“I want so much,” Spencer rasped.

“So much what?”

“So much to just be normal.” A sheen hit his strong soldier’s eyes.

“Oh, Spencer. None of us are normal.”

“You are,” Spencer said harshly, lifting his fingers to brush his cheek.

Liam steeled himself from closing his eyes and instead smiled.

“I’m far from normal,” he said huskily.

“Tell me one fucked up thing you’ve done,” Spencer said with disbelief.

“I married a girl right after graduation from high school and lied to her. I wasted a year of our lives because I was afraid to face who I am.”

He could tell he had Spencer’s complete attention.

“You had no choice over your upbringing, Spencer. I had a choice and I made the wrong one.”

“It’s like comparing apples to oranges.”

Liam slid his palms up and down Spencer’s jean clad thighs.

“My point is that none of us are normal.”

Spencer’s hands came up to settle on his shoulders.

“I don’t want normal, Spencer. I want you, but I can’t lose you again.”

Several long moments of silence went with Liam barely daring to breathe before Spencer’s hands moved from his shoulders to cup his face.

Then and only then did Liam close his eyes. “I think I’ve proved I’m not going anywhere.”

Liam blinked open his eyes with a smile. “You have?”

“What do you think I’ve been doing spending every off duty moment I have here at your house?”

His smile grew and Spencer’s own lips curved. “Well, there is that,” he agreed.

“Yes,” Spencer said huskily and leaned in to brush his lips.

So help him, God, he wanted to take it slow, but the same fire that had caught him earlier exploded between them and he was fighting to get Spencer out of his shirt.

At one point, he fell on his ass and Spencer took the opportunity to pull off his jeans. He tossed Spencer’s t-shirt to the floor and before he could get anymore distracted, he snatched up condoms and lube from his nightstand.

Spencer’s husky chuckle filled the room. He reached for Spencer and hot muscled skin met hot muscled skin.

Spencer groaned. It was muffled beneath his mouth as he stretched out over Spencer and took the man’s lips again and then again. Thrusting a thigh between Spencer’s legs, he pressed them open and reached down to cup the man’s warm balls. His tongue plunged deep, tangling with Spencer’s tongue while he traced his fingers at Spencer’s entrance.

Spencer groaned into his mouth and Liam stopped long enough to lube up a finger. He massaged it over and over on Spencer’s hole. “I want inside of you so bad, but I’ll take you in me as well. Just hurry the fuck up and decide which one you want,” he groaned against Spencer’s lips.

Spencer chuckled and then moaned, “You first.”

Words ended for them both when Liam pressed his finger deep inside Spencer. The man’s back bowed beautifully from the bed and Liam dropped his mouth to trace the small bird tattoo that graced Spencer’s left pec. He caught one nipple and sucked it deep before nipping at it. When Spencer growled, Liam slipped in another finger.

“You better fucking hurry.”

Liam smiled against Spencer’s nipple and slipped his fingers free.

Spencer

He gripped Liam hard just in case the overly concerned man decided he wasn’t stretched enough or that they weren’t going to fuck after all.

He got that Liam didn’t want to fuck up their friendship with having sex, but fuck that. He’d been wanting to have sex with Liam since the first moment they met.

When Liam settled between his thighs and the tip of his cock nudged at his entrance, Spencer wrapped his legs tightly around Liam’s hips and forced him deep.

Liam groaned.

Spencer answered as Liam’s thick cock slid hard and deep into his
