In My Arms Tonight (22 page)

James settled for grabbing the back of Glenn’s head and holding it still while he kissed them both senseless. His thumb traced over that patch of marked skin repeatedly as Glenn moaned softly and pressed tighter against him. His engorged dick bumped against James’, jerky little thrusts that threatened to drive James to his knees right there at the foot of the stairs. His own erection was already leaking, eager to play. James broke the kiss long enough to mutter, “Inside, now,” and together they thundered up the steps and in through the doorway.

Glenn slammed the door shut and twisted the deadbolts, then, panting, he leaned against the door and held up a hand. “Wait a sec,” he rasped, closing his eyes as if trying to find a measure of restraint. “We need to talk. Your parents are in town.”

James was surprised that the news only slightly tempered his arousal. The anger he had felt at his parent’s betrayal was still there, but the softer emotions and the hotter desire he felt for Glenn muffled that anger. Perhaps, he thought, time had helped do so as well. He still wanted to jump on Glenn and pound him into the floor, but the man’s body had tensed, a tic kicking up at the corner of his right eye. James cupped Glenn’s cheek and stroked the spot with his thumb, just as he had the mark he’d left. Glenn shuddered and opened his eyes enough to spear James with a smouldering look. James smiled slightly and released Glenn, knowing if he didn’t take a few steps back they’d both be naked and moaning in a matter of seconds.

“Okay,” James said, blowing out a shaky breath. “All right.” He nodded as well, then turned and forced his legs to carry him into the living room where he sat in the chair rather than on the couch. If he got too close to Glenn, he couldn’t trust himself not to try to distract the man in ways they’d both enjoy.

Once Glenn sat, crossing his legs then cursing and uncrossing them as he readjusted his cock in his trousers, James leant back—because he wanted to pounce—and folded his hands over his belly. “Did the PI you arrested try to do… anything?”

Glenn’s head whipped up—he’d been glaring at his groin like it was a particularly badly behaved pet. “You’ve heard about Leaks, then?” James didn’t think he was misinterpreting the slightly panicked look in Glenn’s eyes.

“I did,” James admitted gruffly, “and I also heard you declined his…offers.”

Glenn bobbed his head and sighed agitatedly as he scrubbed a hand through his hair.

“Yeah. He’s not a bad looking guy or anything—” James’ stomach plummeted—“but he’s not you. I wasn’t even tempted.”

If it was possible to glow from sheer joy, James figured he was doing it. It gave him the strength to forge ahead into what could be scary territory, for Glenn and himself both.

Scooting to the edge of his seat, he held out one hand. Glenn took it, his cheeks turning ruddy and his gaze dropping down to stare at their joined appendages.

“Glenn, look at me,” James said softly. Glenn’s grey eyes rose to meet his and James melted inside. “You love me.” He didn’t know where he got the confidence to say it, unless it was from the man who’d waited for him, believed in him all these months. It had to be, he thought. Glenn made him stronger, his faith made James braver.

Glenn swallowed a couple of times then stood, his hand still in James’. He walked over and knelt between James’ knees, looking up at him with such adoration James wondered how the hell he hadn’t seen it sooner. Glenn tugged his free and framed James’

face with shaking hands. A slight pressure and James followed the silent plea, leaning down and opening for Glenn just as the man said, “Yes, I do.”

James held on to Glenn’s broad shoulders as the man kissed him so tenderly it made James’ eyes prick with tears. Glenn’s gentle kiss, combined with the knowledge that he had this wonderful man’s heart, caused the tears to spill over. James wasn’t ashamed, didn’t think less of himself for that. He knew there were some things that deserved his tears, and joy like that which was singing throughout his body and soul was definitely one of them.

Glenn stroked James’ wet cheeks with his thumbs, tracking the moisture as he looked into James’ eyes. In their depths, Glenn saw everything he’d hoped for—the return of his love, the wonder and hope, and, whether it was his ecstatic imagination or not, a glimpse of their future life together. It wasn’t difficult to ask for what he wanted this time.

“Make love to me. With me,” he amended. James’ lids dropped closed and his swollen lips quivered as he nodded. Glenn’s body tightened, fluttering sensations spread from his gut. He reached for James’ waistband as he slashed his lips over James’.

The moan James fed into him made Glenn’s fingers tremble as he worked James’ cock free. James pulled back, gasping. Glenn tilted his head down and watched as he bared the fat cock he’d soon have in him. He clenched his cheeks in anticipation.

“Condoms and lube—” James began, placing a hand over Glenn’s, stopping him before he could get a hold of James’ length.

Glenn looked up and was only a little hesitant when he said, “I want to feel you, just you James. I know you’re safe. I am, too. I can show you—” It would mean stopping and going back to his place to get the papers, though. Glenn bit his bottom lip as he argued with himself over whether or not he could wait that long.

James cupped his chin and gave Glenn a mind-melting kiss. When he lifted his lips, Glenn’s head was spinning. “Nothing between us, then. There won’t ever be anyone else for me.”

Glenn took it as the declaration he knew it was meant to be. Had he ever felt so happy, so loved? He didn’t think so. “You’re it for me, too. I do love you,” he murmured, then bent and sucked the tip of James’ cock between his lips.

James’ strangled shout consisted of words too garbled to make out, but Glenn thought he’d heard ‘love’ in them. James framed his face and tugged, lifting Glenn’s mouth from his cock. Glenn looked into those gleaming eyes, so pretty they made his breath stutter. “I love you, Glenn. I want to say it now, when you know it isn’t just passion talking.”

Glenn grinned and turned his head enough to nip the base of James’ thumb. “I’d know—but you can say it as often as you want, in passion or anything else.” He’d waited long enough to hear it, to know it, that every admission of love from James would be treasured.

“Glenn.” That was it, just his name, but it turned Glenn inside out, made him vulnerable in a way he’d never imagined—and warm with the knowledge that he was safe, his heart was safe, in James’ hands.

The kiss James gave him started out sweet but quickly morphed into a passionate claiming that Glenn surrendered to wholly. His body sang with pleasure, his nipples peaked tight against his undershirt. James groaned, growled, then he plucked at one of Glenn’s nipples through two layers of material. “Want to feel these,” he grumbled as he pinched a taut nub.

Like Glenn was going to protest that. He stood and quickly divested himself of his clothes while James did the same. James started to reach for him but Glenn had another idea in mind. He slid to his knees and palmed James’ balls as he swallowed down half of James’

length.

James grunted and his thighs shook. His stomach rippled and he leaned over Glenn slightly, resting his hands on Glenn’s shoulders. Excitement coursed through Glenn. He sucked hard, tongue swirling, saturating James’ dick in saliva. That was going to be his lube.

He’d meant it when he said he wanted to feel James.

“Glenn, fuck,” James ground out as Glenn buried his nose in James’ red pubes. He inhaled deeply, filling his lungs with the musky scent of the man, then nudged his nose a little further into that bush, forcing James’ cock in deeper. The urge to gag was almost overwhelming, but Glenn would be double damned if he let anything screw this up, even his own reflexes. His body could just cope with it. Swallowing wasn’t as easy as he’d hoped, but Glenn managed it and was rewarded with a shout from James that likely shook the windows—of Chase and Xavier’s house.

“Oh my God,” James panted, his hands curling against Glenn’s shoulders. “Oh my fucking God, how—”

Glenn sucked back up the length, his tongue dancing over a thick vein. He scraped the sensitive underside of James’ crown with his bottom teeth, a light friction that dragged a raw www.total-e-bound.com

sound from James. Glenn mouthed the glans and fisted the base of James’ cock while alternately rolling and tugging James’ balls. He pursed his lips and sucked the sweet little slit, then dived back down, the taste of pre-cum coating his tongue. This time he managed to swallow with a bit more ease, but when James thrust Glenn very nearly embarrassed himself.

He backed off quickly, James murmuring, “I’m sorry, shit, I didn’t—”

Glenn didn’t want the man to be sorry for anything. He sucked hard on the crown while twisting his fist around and up and down. James stopped talking and started panting.

He framed Glenn’s face with his hands, holding him securely. Glenn looked up at him, lust and love tangling together to dance down his spine.

“Let me?” James asked. “I didn’t mean to—Ahh!”

Apparently growling with someone’s cock in one’s mouth—or at least, with James’

cock in Glenn’s mouth—shorted out the recipient’s ability to for coherent words. Which worked for Glenn as he was determined to make sure James knew he had nothing to apologise for. James gasped then, still holding Glenn in place, began slowly pushing his dick into Glenn’s mouth. Glenn loosened his jaw and closed his eyes, revelling in giving himself to James.

James kept going until his crown nudged Glenn’s throat, then he pushed in deeper.

“Ahhh, fuck!” he yelped when Glenn swallowed. James went stock still, his body tensed, then he withdrew and before Glenn knew what was what, James was manoeuvring him until his chest was flat on the coffee table.

Glenn peered over one shoulder as best he could, just in time to catch the devilish look James shot him, then Glenn braced his hands on the far ends of the table because James was spreading Glenn’s cheeks and if Glenn didn’t hang onto something he might just float away.

The first swipe of James’ tongue down his crack almost burned, Glenn was so eager for it.

James sucked Glenn’s entire sac in his mouth and Glenn’s cry was torn from his gut. James laved Glenn’s balls thoroughly while teasing his hole with a finger, rubbing around the tight ring in slow circles, teasing, never penetrating.

“Please,” Glenn gasped and was rewarded with a slight pressure then a pleasant sting as James slid a fingertip into him. “More, James, I need—you.”

“You have me,” James rasped. Glenn’s reply died when James used his tongue to spear into Glenn’s ass. Glenn couldn’t do more than gasp and squirm as he tried to get James www.total-e-bound.com

to fuck him with that slick muscle. James seemed happy to oblige, licking and thrusting, nibbling and sucking until Glenn was close to sobbing as need caused his body to ache.

Then James’ tongue and fingers were gone and the crinkly hair on James’ thighs rubbed up against the back of Glenn’s legs. “Not this way,” James all but growled. He hooked an arm around Glenn’s waist and helped him to stand on shaky legs. James nipped the back of Glenn’s neck then unerringly found the spot he’d marked before, sucking the tender skin, rubbing his hands over Glenn’s stomach, lightly scraping his skin until Glenn cried out and slumped against his lover.

Glenn was a quivering mass of need as James laid him out on the couch. He let James position him, raising his right leg to drape it over the back of the couch. His other leg was pushed up to his chest, then finally, finally James lined up his cock and began pressing into Glenn’s ass.

“Yes,” Glenn hissed as his ring burned and stretched. James pushed Glenn’s knee aside and dropped down over him, braced on his elbows as he filled Glenn up.

“You feel so fucking good,” James groaned, his lashes fluttering as he panted. “Never did this before, just you. Always, just you, Glenn.” James punctuated that promise with a thrust that seated him to the hilt, his balls slapping against Glenn’s butt.

Glenn gulped at the sudden intense feeling of being stuffed full. He clasped James’

shoulders then slid his hands down to the man’s straining biceps. James dipped his head and kissed Glenn, while at the same time swivelling his hips. His cock brushed over Glenn’s gland and Glenn whimpered as his back arched, pleasure shooting up from that spongy mass inside him.

James’ tongue speared deep as he began to move, short strokes, gentle at first. Glenn whined and writhed, his need too great for the gentle fucking. He held onto James, tightening his fingers, his ass, and James lifted his head, his long beautiful neck arching.

“Fuck yes!”

Glenn’s curses joined James’ as the man began pumping his hips, withdrawing his cock fully then burying in so deep Glenn could swear the tip nudged his heart.

“Take me,” James muttered, “You feel so damn good!”

“Yes,” Glenn grunted out as James slammed home. Yes what, he didn’t know, but anything James wanted, Glenn would give it to him. Glenn shifted his leg and hooked it over www.total-e-bound.com

James’ hips, their slick skin making it impossible for Glenn to get a tight lock around the man. James huffed then nudged Glenn’s head aside with his own before catching the lobe of Glenn’s ear between his teeth.

Glenn’s whimper turned into a shout as James bit, while at the same time managing to get a grip on Glenn’s cock. The hard strokes of hand and dick were too much, too great a mix of pleasures for Glenn to withstand. His cock throbbed as he clenched his inner muscles around James’ thick length, then blinding ecstasy scorched up from his groin and burst behind Glenn’s closed eyelids. He cried out at the intensity, feeling as if he was shattering into a million pieces.
