Cole felt intoxicated, even though he’d only had one drink since arriving at the club. He didn’t understand how, but the heat inside him felt hotter than last night, and his clothes clingier and more restrictive.
He stared into Gabe’s baby blues, now burning with lust and desire as the man’s hands slipped beneath his shirt again, their bodies locked at the hips. Cole trembled as Gabe’s fingers dug into his back, gripping his muscles, pulling Cole closer until their mouths were nearly touching.
Cole’s lips parted slightly, letting his hot breath escape and splash onto Gabe’s face. Their cocks rubbed together, grinding harder with each thrust of their hips. Cole started to feel lightheaded, his loins burning with intense heat that radiated outward, up into his stomach and chest, and down his thighs.
READ MOREHis breath caught in his throat as Gabe's strong hands seized his ass, fingers digging possessively into the flesh beneath his jeans. Each squeeze sent jolts of electricity straight to his groin as Gabe guided their bodies into a grinding rhythm that mimicked sex so perfectly that Cole's cock strained painfully against his zipper, leaking pre-cum that dampened his underwear. When Gabe's muscular thigh pressed between his legs, Cole couldn't help but ride it shamelessly, his hips bucking with desperate need, the friction against his throbbing erection shooting electric jolts up his spine.
Their foreheads pressed together, sweat mingling as Cole panted open-mouthed, his pupils wide with lust while he stared into Gabe's eyes, now dark with hunger. His fingers tangled in Gabe's hair, tugging just hard enough to make the other man groan. Cole couldn't look away from those blue eyes burning into him—eyes that promised to devour him whole if given the chance. And God, he wanted to be devoured.
The bold thought stunned Cole, but he was too immersed in Gabe and the heat of the moment to care where his thoughts and his body were taking him. His fingers tightened in Gabe’s hair, pulling the man’s head harder against his. His breath was ragged, coming faster, as he ground his cock into Gabe’s thigh, the pressure and friction driving him to the edge.
Oh fuck, I’m gonna—
COLLAPSE
