Now, take off your clothes.”
Every muscle in Bray’s body froze in fear and excitement.
“I want to check all your injuries.”
Bray swallowed and nodded. He didn’t examine his disappointment too closely at Sam tacking on that second statement. Wondering if this was an act or if Sam really wanted to check him, Bray raised his eyebrows in question. Sam nodded.
After putting his toiletry bag on the counter in the bathroom, Bray tried to will away the half chub that had plumped up as soon as Sam had told him to get naked. Bray slowly took off everything but his boxers.
READ MOREHead down, Bray hurried out of the bathroom and plopped down on the bed. When Sam knelt in front of Bray’s knees, his heart rate doubled. Images of other things Sam might do on his knees bombarded him. With his pants gone, Bray did everything he could to keep his body from reacting to the proximity of Sam’s mouth to his dick.
His abdominal muscles tightened as Sam gently prodded and the pain took care of any problem he might have had with tenting his boxers.
“I don’t imagine many people get to see you on your knees,” Bray blurted.
He wanted to face-palm himself. Why did he get so tongue-tied around Sam?
“Only you,” Sam replied with a smirk. “Unless of course you get yourself killed.”
Bray rolled his eyes but then hissed out a breath when Sam continued to prod him. Sam covered up Bray’s little blunder seamlessly. He wanted to apologize, but that would break character too.
“I think sex is off the table, for tonight at least.”
Sam winked at Bray when he said it, like they should both be relieved for the reprieve. He could only nod and give a small smile to hide his...was it really disappointment?
