to meet Riley s eyes. He didn t say anything, no words were
needed to convey how important this was, how much they d
missed each other the past few days. He just smiled and slid
down to press his lips to Riley s collarbone, then lower to
press another kiss to his chest, just above his heart. Trace
smiled, turning his head to rest his cheek there, his eyes
closing, he sighed.
 I love you, Trace murmured and Riley gave him the words
back immediately. Riley smiled, letting his hands tangle in
Trace s hair, idly combing his fingers through the thick, silky
mass. Trace teased him sometimes, said Riley had a fetish
for his hair, which Riley didn t even try to deny. Trace shifted
down again, feathering soft kisses over his ribs and Riley
shook his head, urging Trace back up.
 Don t. Even that s too far away. Riley desperately needed
to be able to look into Trace s eyes, to kiss him and touch his
face and reassure himself he hadn t lost everything because
he d been stupid. Trace just smiled and moved back up, his
face close to Riley s, their eyes meeting and Riley smiled,
touching his cheek. He couldn t find any words to say but he
figured the look he was giving Trace said it all. Their lips met
again and his eyes fluttered closed, warmth spreading
through his body. He d felt so cold the last few days, inside
and out, and had been tempted more than once to creep into
the spare room and curl up in Trace s arms, though nothing
had been resolved. It was scary for Riley still, needing
anyone that much, but he was getting used to it.
Trace wrapped his arms tightly around Riley, breaking the
kiss and pressing his forehead to Riley s.  I missed you so
much, darlin . It broke my heart, not being near you, you not
talkin to me.

His Every Breath
Trace shook his head, pressing his fingers to Riley s lips.
 Don t apologize. We both made mistakes, some bigger
than others. Don t apologize. Just& smile for me, darlin . I
missed your smiles.
Riley nodded and Trace moved his fingers away but not
before Riley had pressed a soft kiss to them and did exactly
what Trace had asked smiled for him. The expression on
Trace s face just about took Riley s breath away. Trace
looked so perfectly happy, as if he had everything he could
possibly want. Riley reached up, meeting his eyes.
 You re everything to me. I might still be baffled at how you
 You re everything to me. I might still be baffled at how you
managed that so quickly but you are. Absolutely everything.
That scared Riley, especially knowing what he did now. What
was he going to do if Trace wasn t okay? He had no idea
and just the thought caused his throat to close up. Pushing
the thoughts from his mind, Riley wrapped his arms around
Trace, clinging to him, his face buried in Trace s hair.
 Make love to me, Trace, please. I need you so much. As
long as Trace was kissing him and touching him and giving
him that beautiful smile, Riley could keep the worries at bay,
could push it all out of his mind.
Trace paused, his face thoughtful, and Riley tilted his head.
 Riley? How do you feel about losing the condoms? I mean&
I ve been tested for everything under the sun the past few
months and I m sure you ve been?
Riley nodded, slinging his legs around Trace s hips.  Yeah, I
have and since you re the only man I plan on letting anywhere
near me for the foreseeable future and then some& yeah,
yeah, I think that s a fabulous idea.
Trace grinned and bent his head to kiss Riley, reaching for
the nightstand and the lube, this time leaving the condoms in
the drawer where they lay. Riley moaned into the kiss,
reaching down and tugging at Trace s pajama pants,
managing to get them down around his hips before he just
couldn t reach. He let out a soft moan when Trace let him go
briefly to pull them down and off before turning his attention to
Riley s sweats, tugging them off easily. Oh, that was much
better, their bodies entwined now with nothing between them.
Riley broke the kiss, smiling up at Trace.
 I love you. I can t ever tell you often enough. Besides, Riley
figured he had three days of not saying it to make up for, not
that he thought Trace would ever get tired of hearing him say
so. Trace whispered the words back to him and Riley
beamed. He wouldn t ever get tired of hearing it either.
Trace pushed up to his knees, uncapped the bottle of lube
and Riley s eyes lit up with anticipation. Trace shifted,
stretching out beside him and urging his legs apart, one up
and out, the other draped across Trace s lower body. He
leaned in close and pressed soft kisses just behind Riley s
ear, nibbling and tongue sweeping the sensitive spot as he
reached his hand down and rubbed two of his slick fingers
against Riley s entrance. Riley gasped and his eyes fell
closed as he tilted his head to allow Trace better access and
lifted his hips in encouragement. Trace gently eased one
fingertip inside, going slow, and Riley reveled in it, wanting to
savor every second of tonight, let them both soak in every
sensation to the fullest. 135

Squeezing his eyes shut, Riley moaned, trying his best not to
let his hips buck into Trace s touch. It wasn t easy, the man
did things to Riley s insides that no one ever had, made him
react in ways he d never even dreamed of before. But he
knew Trace and it was plain to see that tonight was a night
for taking their time. Riley smiled at the thought. Slow wasn t
something either of them was very good at sticking to,
though they usually had good intentions. But tonight was [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
