Beware of Geeks Bearing Gifts (10 page)

Quinn waited as Danny left and returned a few seconds later with the key to Spencer’s apartment. When Quinn tried to take it, Danny held on, his frown deepening.

“I don’t know what happened, but I’m guessing it has to do with the stripping.”

“He told you?”

“I’m his best friend, of course he did. Do you know how hard that was for him to do that? He really cares about you. Don’t hurt him. Again.”

“I won’t,” Quinn promised. Danny released the key, and Quinn crossed over to Spencer’s apartment, announcing himself in case Spencer decided to come at him swinging. “I’m coming in, Spence.”

He opened the door, and Spencer appeared, craning his neck to scowl at Danny.

“Traitor.”

Danny shrugged helplessly. “Sorry. He has a gun.”

“And you really thought he was going to use it on you?”

“This is Miami. Not exactly outside the realm of possibility.”

With a grunt, Spencer turned and walked away from him. Quinn closed the door, noticing how Spencer had put on a hoodie with the hood pulled up but was still wearing the white pants. Spencer shoved his hands into his pockets and averted his gaze, his shoulders hunched like he was trying to shield as much of himself from Quinn as possible.

“Spencer, please listen to me.”

“No, I get it. You’re the jock. I’m the kid from AV. Social order and all that bullshit. It was probably the meds or your injuries or whatever. It’s okay, but you don’t have to be such an asshole about it.”

Anger flared in his green eyes, eyes that were red-rimmed and glassy. His face was flushed, and he was fidgeting more than usual. Quinn hated to see him so upset. He hated being the cause of it even more.

“Is that what you guys do for fun? Go around making insignificant little peons like me feel like shit? High school is over, so you and your little roid-rage buddies can go fuck yourselves.”

Wow. Quinn didn’t know Spencer had it in him. He was glad to see that Spencer was angry, that he wouldn’t take Quinn’s shit. Spencer had every right to be pissed. “You’re right, for the most part. But before you tear me a new one, you need to know I didn’t have anything to do with that.”

“Didn’t stop you from laughing at me,” Spencer growled.

Quinn subtly took a step toward him. “You think I was laughing at you?”

“Well if it wasn’t laughing, it was the happiest sob I’ve ever heard.”

“Okay, I was laughing, but not at you. I was laughing because I was so surprised you’d do something like that for me. I was really touched and pretty amazed. I was happy, Spence.”

Spencer studied him. He looked like he wanted to believe Quinn but was afraid to. Quinn couldn’t blame him.

“You were?”

“Yeah. What you did took a hell of a lot of courage. You put aside what you felt just to do something you thought I wanted. No one’s ever done anything like that for me.”

“Oh.” Spencer looked down at his feet, a ghost of a smile coming onto his face.

“You know what else?” Quinn took another step closer, grateful when Spencer didn’t move away from him.

“What?”

“You might get mad at me.”

Spencer sighed. “I think I’m too exhausted for that.”

“I was really turned on.”

“Really?”

Spencer stared at him, his tongue poking out to lick at his bottom lip. Quinn wanted nothing more than to reach out and run his thumb across that mouth. He wasn’t lying about being turned on. When he’d realized it was Spencer sitting on his lap, dressed the way he was, with no shirt, moving and grinding his hips against Quinn, he’d been close to getting a hard-on in front of the whole room.

“Fuck yeah. You were goddamn hot. I didn’t know you could move like that. Jesus, I thought I was going to come in my pants.” He felt his cheeks growing hot. “Maybe, if you don’t decide to tell me to fuck off, you could do it again sometime. Just for me, though. I didn’t like the way Manny was eyeing your ass.”

Spencer threw his head back and laughed, his eyes lit up, making Quinn smile. He reached out and tentatively wrapped his arms around Spencer’s waist, pulling him close. Spencer bit down on his bottom lip, his words quiet when he spoke.

“So what happens now?”

“Now maybe you’ll let me make it up to you.”

He brought Spencer against him and pulled his hood down so he could see his face better. Holding him close, he brushed his lips over Spencer’s and thrust his growing erection against him. The heat in Spencer’s eyes lit Quinn up inside.

“And Javier?”

“Don’t worry about him,” Quinn replied somberly. “He’s going to take a good look at his attitude and make an adjustment if he wants to salvage this friendship. What he did was unacceptable. He knew how I felt about you, but he took it on himself to judge you by his fucked-up standards. That’s his problem, but I don’t want him messing with you.”

“And how do you feel about me?” Spencer asked, slowly pulling down the zipper of his hoodie, revealing a smooth chest sprinkled with the most charming freckles. Quinn wanted to kiss each one.

“Take me to the bedroom and I’ll show you.”

Spencer took Quinn’s hand and led him to his room. Once inside, he pulled Quinn over to the bed, waiting for him to sit before taking his crutch and leaning it against the wall. With a wicked smile, Spencer removed his hoodie. He straddled Quinn’s lap and covered Quinn’s mouth with his, their kiss as ardent and needy as the first time. Quinn was taken aback by his fierce desire for Spencer. They tugged and pulled at each other’s clothes, undressing each other until the two of them lay naked on the bed with Spencer lying over Quinn.

Quinn arched his back, his breath coming out ragged as Spencer trailed kisses down his neck to his chest, his tongue licking one of Quinn’s nipples. Quinn gasped and slipped his fingers into Spencer’s wild hair. He allowed Spencer to lavish him with affection, loved the way Spencer circled his tongue and then sucked in one nipple before moving on to the other. All the while Spencer’s hands continued to roam, tracing the contours of Quinn’s body, making Quinn moan with pleasure at the sensual touches.

“You’re amazing,” Spencer said breathlessly, his hands caressing Quinn’s chest.

“Not as amazing as you.” Quinn put his finger to Spencer’s lips, stopping the protest he was certain Spencer was ready to give. “You are.”

Spencer leaned in and kissed him. It started out slow, but Quinn was greedy. He wanted to taste all of Spencer, wanted to feel himself inside that lithe body. They’d have plenty of time for exploration later. Right now Quinn was desperate. There was so much they still didn’t know about each other, but Quinn wanted to know. He wanted to know everything about Spencer.

He cupped Spencer’s face and gently pulled him away to look into his eyes. “I need you.”

Spencer smiled down at him with that beautiful smile of his, the one that reached his green eyes. A thought seemed to have occurred to him. “When your family came, your mom whispered something to you. What did she say?”

Quinn felt his cheeks go hot. “She said I should keep you.”

Spencer’s smile widened. “You nodded after she said that.”

“I did,” Quinn confessed. “I told her I just might.”

A wicked look came onto Spencer’s face. “Might?” He reached into the nightstand and brought back lube and a condom. “Guess I’ll have to convince you I’ve got more to offer than just my awesome cooking skills.”

“Oh, I know you do.” Quinn pulled Spencer down so he could kiss him. “But a little demonstration wouldn’t hurt. Plus, you know, it’s my birthday.”

Spencer laughed. “Oh, it’s like that, huh?”

He kissed Quinn, then shifted back before pouring lube into his hands. With one hand he took hold of Quinn’s painful erection; with the other he prepped himself. Quinn was mesmerized by Spencer inserting his fingers into himself, his ass high in the air. He’d never seen anything more erotic. Spencer pumped Quinn’s cock, his soft moans and pants getting Quinn so close to coming, he had to stop him.

Releasing Quinn, Spencer positioned himself. He was always careful with Quinn’s leg. Straddling Quinn’s lap, he carefully lined Quinn up to his entrance before pushing himself down against the head, both of them groaning at the sweet torture of having Spencer slowly lowering himself. Sweat beaded Quinn’s brow, and he placed his hands on Spencer’s thighs. Damn, it felt so good. Inch by agonizing inch, Spencer’s body swallowed Quinn until he was sitting against him.

“Fuck.” Quinn slid his hands up to grip Spencer’s waist, his fingers pressing against soft white skin.

“My pleasure.”

Spencer rocked forward, and Quinn was lost. He gave himself over completely to Spencer, who moved against him slowly at first before picking up speed. Soon he was rising up and impaling himself on Quinn’s cock. Curses in two languages escaped Quinn as he thrust up into Spencer. The bed moved beneath them, and Quinn thought he would come when Spencer took hold of his cock and started jerking himself off as he bounced on Quinn.

“Oh yeah, that’s it. Fuck, that’s hot.”

“Yeah?”

Spencer’s skin was flushed from his shoulders up to his cheeks. His panting breath and moans were music to Quinn’s ears.

“Oh God, yes.” Quinn nodded fervently, his hips losing their rhythm as he fucked Spencer. The sight of his lean body, his hand pumping himself, his hair falling over his brow and his lips parted in ecstasy, had Quinn’s muscles tightening with his impending orgasm.

Spencer cried out as he came, spurts of white coating Quinn’s chest. It was enough to bring Quinn’s orgasm thundering through, and he pulled Spencer down against him as he pumped himself deep inside, drawing out Spencer’s orgasm. Quinn let out a slew of curses as he came long and hard. He continued to thrust into Spencer until he became too sensitive.

Their heavy breaths mingled as Spencer lay on Quinn, nuzzling his neck and stroking his arm. “So am I a keeper?”

Quinn chuckled. He kissed Spencer’s brow. “You were a keeper long before the sex.”

“Good. I’m thinking I might keep you around.”

“Is that so?” Quinn rolled over, pinning Spencer beneath him. Spencer laughed and nodded. He ran his fingers down Quinn’s stubbly jaw, affection in his eyes.

“How do you say ‘stay with me’ in Spanish?”

Quinn took hold of Spencer’s hand and kissed his fingers, his gaze on Spencer’s when he replied, “Quédate conmigo.”

Spencer placed a tender kiss to Quinn’s lips. “That.”

Quinn didn’t know when it had happened, but somewhere between the brownies and the striptease, Spencer had snuck his way into Quinn’s heart.

“Si.”
