nipping at Ben’s bottom lip. “It’s why I want to stay with you. You make me feel—cherished.”
Dae’s long hair fell about his face, tickling Ben’s skin with its scented warmth. His hips rocked against Ben’s in a cadence of slow, even movements, which caused Ben to lose his breath and gasp.
“That feels so good, baby. I’m almost there, don’t stop, keep going. God, you drive me wild. You’re so damned beautiful…” Ben’s words tapered off as his cock released his desire into his sweatpants, leaving him shuddering with pleasure and biting down on his lip with the sensations in his belly and groin.
Dae grinned down at him wickedly. “I never tire of seeing you come,” he whispered, his lips swollen, his pupils dilated and as dark as sin. “You look so sexy and debauched, and all I want to do is lick every bead of sweat and come off your body.”
He sat up, all lithe beauty and shadowed limbs, the robe shifting on his body, revealing his hardened, flushed cock. “I want to feel you against me when I come.” He pulled Ben’s pants down his body, growling in pleasure at the sight of Ben’s semi-hard cock.
“God, look at you. So bloody sexy, that gorgeous cock of yours. Sorry, this may feel a little sensitive but I need to feel your skin against my dick.”
Dae hissed, eyes half-closed in an expression of bliss as he thrust harder against Ben’s still-throbbing dick. “Fuck, baby, you do things to me no one ever has.” Dae cried out as he spent himself against Ben, the flood of warmth against Ben’s groin a welcome sensation.
Dae collapsed on top of him, a blend of warm flesh and muscled steel. Ben’s hands slid down Dae’s damp skin, bunching in the silk clinging to his lover’s body.
“You magnificent bastard, you.” Dae panted as he moved away and rolled over on the couch to lay tucked beside Ben’s body. “What is it about us that sex always seems to be incendiary?”
Ben chuckled tiredly. “The force is strong between us, it is.” He trailed fingers across Dae’s stomach, absently gathering up the mess on his stomach and sucking it off his fingers. The look of lust in Dae’s eyes promised more debauchery later.
“The force,” Dae asked breathily. “Is that some obscure earth saying?”
Ben laughed. “Yoda. Star Wars.” He rolled his eyes at Dae’s confusion. “Never mind. It’s one series we haven’t got into yet.” He drew a breath. “If you stay here, I promise I’ll watch the whole thing with you. You’ll love it.”
Both of them smiled at each other, sensing the unspoken question beneath Ben’s flippant answer.
Will they have enough time ahead of them to make the wish a reality?
Only time itself would answer that question.
Chapter 16
Dae shimmied his hips to the sound of “Rock DJ” and laughed when Hemmy attempted to do the same. The other man was bulkier and his attempts at sultry hip wriggling were adorable.
From the bar table, Ben watched them dance with a grin. He raised his beer towards Dae when he saw him looking. Dae focused on the music, trying to ignore the ache in his chest that told him tonight could be his last time on this earth for a long time. This could be the last time he saw Ben or any of his friends and enjoyed a beer while dancing in an incredibly packed establishment where a DJ wore an undertaker coat and a top hat. The quirks and vagaries of the human race never failed to tickle and entertain Dae.
“What’s up, sugarplum?” Hemmy did a particularly violent hip bump towards young women on his left side, who laughed and bumped him back. “You haven’t been yourself tonight.” He glanced over at the table where Ben sat. “Come to think of it, neither has he. You two had a fight or something?” His dark eyes shone with interest.
Dae shook his head as he danced around his friend—yes, Hemmy is my friend too—and ignored the blatant lip licking and come-to-bed eyes from the well-built man dancing next to them. “No fight. I guess we’re both a bit stressed right now. Lots going on, you know?”
Hemmy guffawed and performed an acceptable shimmy as he swayed towards the giggling group of girls dancing around him. “What the heck have you two lovebirds got to be stressed about? Ben’s been a different person these last few weeks. You’ve been good for him, my friend.”
Dae didn’t answer. His skin warmed from Hemmy’s description of
