He spent long minutes nuzzling Tam’s crotch and caressing him through the lace. But it wasn’t until Tam’s thighs were trembling and his steady breaths had turned to low whines that Driver felt ready to take it further. Not wanting to let go of Tam’s hand, he used his teeth and free hand to pull off Tam’s panties. Tam helped, which was all the proof Driver needed to know things were on the right track. Someone who got naked that eagerly wasn’t concerned with anything but pleasure. And that was exactly where Driver wanted him.
Chapter Nineteen
Oh God. Oh God. He was naked with Driver.
He was naked and waiting for Driver to put his mouth on him. God. Why wouldn’t he just do it? Tam was on a ledge. Afraid to move, afraid to breathe. He didn’t want that stupid switch in his brain to flip and make things scary, but fuck he needed Driver to start already. He was dying.
Like, honestly, dying. He might explode. He might simply cease to exist. Every nerve in his body vibrated with frustrated desire. Hell, every cell.
His entire being was concentrated on Driver. So much that each and every brush of skin sent sparks of bliss shooting across Tam’s flesh. The room around them faded into the darkness. He couldn’t be sure if the movie was even still playing. As far as he knew, they were in space, floating on clouds surrounded by stars. And damn, but being the center of so much single-minded attention was doing something crazy to Tam’s ego. It was better than the insane high he got when he performed on stage.
So, so much better.
He wanted to keep feeling this way forever.
And then, finally, Driver kissed the crown of his cock and the world began to spin. His lips were so soft and full. Tam had noticed the first time they’d met but hadn’t thought about it since. Stupid. He was so fucking stupid. Those lips should be the center of his attention every minute. They were heaven.
Yes, he was in paradise and Driver hadn’t even used his tongue yet.
Just those lips playing across the sensitive skin in delicate kisses from slit to balls had Tam struggling to catch his breath. He didn’t know if he’d survive more, but fuck he wanted to find out. Convulsively, he tightened his grip on Driver’s hand only to feel an answering squeeze.
It was more reassuring than Tam wanted to admit, just that tiny bit of communication when everything else was whirling too fast. It grounded him and gave him the freedom to fly.
Then Driver’s warm, wet tongue swept across Tam’s cockhead and Tam’s body arched without his permission. His neck strained and his legs burned because he was so rigid. In the back of his mind he heard someone cry out. It wasn’t until Driver stopped everything that he realized it’d been him.
“Too fast?” Driver asked.
Tam sucked in a lungful of air and pushed it out again, forcing himself to relax. “Intense.”
Driver stroked his bare hip with his thumb. “Just breathe.” He pressed a kiss to Tam’s inner thigh. So fucking compassionate and kind, the gesture took hold of Tam’s heart and didn’t let go.
“Thank you,” he said through the tightness in this throat.
Driver groaned, then raked his teeth across Tam’s hip. “You have no idea what you do to me.”
With more courage than he’d believed he possessed, Tam said, “Show me.”
“I like it when you’re bossy.” Driver’s bangs tickled Tam’s stomach as he kissed his way up Tam’s torso. Then their mouths locked together.
This kiss was different. It was slow and deep and important. Tam let go of Driver’s hand so he could grab on to his hair. He had the crazy wish that Driver was naked too, but part of him was glad that he wasn’t. It didn’t matter anyway, he could still feel Driver’s length pressing through the denim. Yeah, he was definitely turned on and for once in his life, Tam reveled in being the cause of it.
It was thrilling.
Driver tasted like beer and soy sauce but beneath that was something else, something evasive and addicting.
The edge of his arousal dimmed enough during their kiss that doubts began swirling in his mind. He tried to fight them, but the weight of Driver morphed from comforting to oppressive. It was an all too familiar position. He’d always been the one held down, trapped. Then Driver cupped Tam’s jaw to tilt his head and peace was shattered.
The red cloud of panic descended, freezing Tam’s limbs and locking him in place.
The world narrowed. Flashes of old terrifying nightmares reared up to swallow him. Suddenly he wasn’t in his safe place anymore.
The monsters surrounded him. Everything shifted.
His heart seized.
His body tensed like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on his sizzling skin.
