.I want you safe as well.We will be safest together, not apart.” To emphasize his point, he kissed Drew, a gentle press of lips intended to reassure.The kiss deepened as Drew’s tongue teased the seam of his lips.Heopened with a whimper, allowing Drew’s tongue to stroke along the sensitive inner tissues of his mouth.Strong arms wrapped around him and pulled him close.Pain flared, and he couldn’t suppress his flinch.Drew released him immediately.“God, I’m sorry.I forgot.Are youokay?”Ciaran nodded.“I’m fine.”“No you’re not.Shit.I should have remembered.”Drew looked so miserable at the thought of hurting him.He peekedup through his lashes, teasing.“Perhaps you could make it up to me somehow.”The glint in Drew’s eyes told him he had said exactly the right thing.“I know just how to make you feel better.”Ciaran smiled.“Oh?”Before he could say another word, Drew lifted him into his arms and carried him out of the kitchen.Surprised, he laughed.“What are you doing?”Hot green eyes smoldered down at him.“I’m going to kiss itbetter.”Ciaran sucked in a breath at the image the words put into his mind.54Claiming Ciaran by Cassandra GoldHe could not seem to speak, so he just nodded.Drew carried him down the hallway and into the bedroom as if heweighed nothing.He stopped next to the bed and lowered Ciaran to it carefully, treating him like something precious and breakable.Then he set to removing Ciaran’s clothing.Ciaran watched as Drew’s big, gentle hands pulled his flannel sleeppants and boxers down over his hips and off, leaving a trail of fire in their wake.His shirt went next, and he was momentarily blinded by its slide over his head.Then it was gone, and he could once again stare into Drew’s eyes.His lover gazed at him with such emotion, such love.To have that emotion directed at him was almost overwhelming.He wanted to prove his worth,to proclaim his devotion, to do or say something to make Drew understand his emotions, but everything caught in his throat.He stared right back, trying to communicate with his eyes what his voice could not seem to express.It must have worked.Drew smiled, a soft, happy expression, and kissed him.“Love you.”Ciaran ran his fingertips over Drew’s lower lip.“And I love you.”Drew nibbled at his fingertips.“You just lay back and let Dr.Drewperform his miracle cure.”Eager to experience the “miracle cure,” Ciaran lay back as ordered.First, Drew lifted Ciaran’s right arm and kissed all the way down it, from the scratch on the back of his hand to his bruised shoulder.Ciaran smiled at the ticklish sensation.Next, Drew kissed the small abrasion on his cheek where a branchhad slapped him.Then those soft lips trailed down, past his neck and chest and right to the huge bruise on his hip.The delicate, feather‐light touches brought nothing but pleasure.His cock twitched and began to fill.The rising desire made him shiver.Teasing fingers trailed up his thighs, drawing circles and nonsensepatterns on sensitive flesh but never touching what he wanted.He whimpered.“Drew, please.Touch me.”The devilish grin he got did not reassure.“I don’t know, you might55Claiming Ciaran by Cassandra Goldbe too injured.”Impatient, he blurted the first words that came to him.“Then you’dbetter start kissing it better, like you promised.”Drew laughed.“Fair enough.I guess we’d better make sure it stillworks, huh?”Before Ciaran could answer, his lover licked his bobbing erection from base to tip.He yelped.“More.”Rather than continuing to tease, Drew took Ciaran’s cock into his mouth and sucked.Ciaran ignored the various aches and pains in his battered body and focused on the pure pleasure of Drew’s hot, wet mouth.With the way Drew’s long, agile tongue curled around him, focusing on pleasure was not difficult to do.He curled his fingers into Drew’s silky hair and held on.His eyeswanted to close, but he forced them to stay open.The sight of his erection disappearing between Drew’s lips was too good to miss.Ciaran knew he would not last much longer when Drew brought ahand up to toy with the soft skin of his sac.He loved the way such big, strong hands could touch him with incredible gentleness.Then Drew’s fingertips slipped back to stroke over his hole, and he lost it.He came with a cry, arching up into Drew’s mouth.Releasing him, Drew leaned up on his elbow.“Feel better?”“Much.”“Told you it was a miracle cure.”The self‐satisfied expression on Drew’s face made him chuckle.“Yes, and you were right.But what about you?”Drew made his way back up the mattress until they wereside‐by‐side.He leered.“You could help me with that.”Laughing, Ciaran wrapped his hand around Drew’s thick shaft andstroked.He could tell Drew had enjoyed pleasing him by how hard Drewwas, and the amount of slick, clear liquid leaking from his cock.He only had to stroke a few times before Drew came, hot seed spilling over his hand and Drew’s stomach.Ciaran cleaned up as best he could with a tissue, and then let his head fall back to the bed.“It’s too early.Let’s go back to sleep.”56Claiming Ciaran by Cassandra GoldDrew finished his own clean‐up, grinning.“Sounds good.”Eyes closing, half asleep already, Ciaran muttered, “Stay.”“I’m not a dog!”Despite the protest, Drew snuggled into Ciaran’s less‐bruised side.Ciaran smiled and let himself drift to sleep.57Claiming Ciaran by Cassandra GoldChapter NineWhen the weekend passed, and nothing unusual happened, Drewbegan to hope the humans who’d been lurking had moved on.He hadn’tlet Ciaran out of his sight, but neither of them had seen any suspicious people or black cars.Who knew? Maybe the black car’s occupant had justbeen a punk kid or a bad driver.He didn’t really believe that, but it was possible.Maybe.He didn’t plan to let down his guard, but maybe he wouldn’t have to be so hyper‐vigilant all the time.By Monday, everything seemed to be back to normal.Just like mostmornings, he went for a jog and came back for breakfast.Since Janie had called the night before and asked Ciaran to come in to work at eight instead of ten, they were having cereal and toast.He looked over to see Ciaran approaching the table with a glass of tomato juice.Paired with frosted flakes, tomato juice sounded repulsive.Drew made a face.“Ugh.You’re going to drink that with cereal? That’s disgusting.”Ciaran laughed [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
