Excerpt:
Cord shoved up from the bed and faced him. βIs it out of your system?β
βIsΒ whatΒ out of my system?β
βWhatever you felt last nightβand this morning.β
His mind halted at the fork in the road. Go right and everything went away, no therapy needed, no repeat performance. Turn left andβ¦ This time his mouth cooperated and the truth emerged. βNo, itβs not out of my system.β
Cord drew back, surprise and something else written on his face. βReally?β
He dropped his gaze, unable to match Cordβs steady stare.
Although he commanded his household and ran several crews on the job, he couldnβt seem to out-master Cord when it came toΒ this. This new dynamic between them heβd yet to name.
It wasnβt a simple step down from the top either. Every time he deferred to Cord it scraped and bruised, though maybe not as much as he might have thought. Sort of like a new pair of boots, uncomfortable at first, but with the promise of more support later.
Though he was still processing, he could at least confess he wasnβt giving up. βReally.β
His heart jogged into a gallop as Cord stepped closer, the soft press of his rough fingers on Austinβs chin made him flinch.
βEasyβ¦β
Austin breathed through his nose as Cord leaned closer. How was he so natural about this? He held his breath as warm lips traced the stubble of his jaw. And damn his dick for firming up the second he breathed Cord in.
The heat of his friendβs body warmed him, his mind cataloguing every nuance. The wiry feel of another manβs chest hair. The sheer breadth and height of him. His earthy scent, so unlike Emberβs. His pure masculinity was suddenly alluring, when a day ago it was merely admirable.
Fuck.
His neck stiffened as Cordβs hand fit around his nape.
βItβs okay,β Cord whispered, leaning closer.
At the first brush of his lips, Austin panicked and made to jerk away but Cordβs steady gaze and strong grip calmed his instinct to flee. The heated press of his firm kiss slipped past his guard and Austinβs eyes drifted shut.
A dark, throbbing need took hold as he wrestled to deny how right it felt to taste another man. Not just any man. Cord.
