After The Snap (13 page)

For a moment he worried that Colby would start questioning what he did or how he got the muscles, instead Colby stepped closer, wrapping his arms around Seth’s waist and kissing the center of his chest. He glanced up and smiled.

“You’re the sexy one.”

“Not to me,” Seth replied. “I want to hold you close and kiss every inch of your body.”

Colby shivered again and Seth bent for another kiss. This one he took his time on and paid attention to Colby, not the haunted feelings from his past. Their tongues twisted together slowly as he cupped the back of Colby’s head. He’d gone out tonight for a fast fuck, but he didn’t know if he could do that with this guy. Slow and languid was the only way to take Colby. Maybe he couldn’t just fuck a guy and leave, or maybe Colby was too special to do that with, he didn’t know, but he needed to show Colby something different than just fucking.

Colby placed his hands on Seth’s waist and tugged him close, brushing his body up against Seth’s. He ripped his mouth away from Colby’s and gasped as they ground together. The need to have flesh rubbing against flesh overwhelmed him and he tugged at Colby’s belt, pulling it open. He stepped back and stared down at Colby’s puffy lips, his hooded eyes, and the expanse of healthy skin. He shivered, knowing that something was changing inside and he didn’t want to stop it.

“Fuck, Colby, you feel amazing in my arms.” He sucked in a breath, his chest rising as he reached for the button on Colby’s slacks. They both jumped a little as his fingers grazed over the strip of skin above his waistband.

Capturing Colby’s lips in another kiss, Seth angled his head, taking this kiss deep, turning it hot with tongues twining, lips mashing. He unzipped Colby’s slacks, letting them drop to the ground. Seth ran his hands over Colby’s underwear and shivered. The guy was wearing boxer briefs, only the sexiest type of underwear ever made.

Colby was tugging at Seth’s jeans but not getting far. Seth stepped back amid Colby’s complaints and kicked off his shoes, then shoved his jeans low. They both eyed each other and Colby hooked his thumbs under his own underwear and flicked the waistband down, pulling the material from his body. Seth dropped to his knees, his hands on Colby’s hips, steadying him. He stuck out his tongue and licked the tip of Colby’s cock before glancing up, catching Colby’s gaze.

He kept his eyes up as he opened his mouth and sucked down on Colby. For the first slide of Seth’s lips down Colby, their gazes stayed connected. Colby’s mouth was open and then he sunk his teeth into his lower lip and groaned. When Seth pulled off and swirled his tongue around the tip, Colby threw back his head and gasped.

“Fuck, that’s good,” Colby groaned.

Seth smiled around Colby’s cock and went down again before he backed off, swirling his tongue, then dipping the tip into the slit, loving that a little bit of precum had leaked out. Colby grabbed onto Seth’s head holding him still and began pumping into Seth’s mouth. He stared up at the man, watching as lust took over Colby’s features as he fucked his face.

Seth felt Colby’s cock swell before he pulled out and sank to his knees, his lips on Seth’s like he was the last drop of water in an arid wasteland. Colby ended the kiss, his gaze fierce.

“Fuck, that felt so good.”

They were both kneeling on the floor, Seth wondering what the hell was going on with his emotions as he loved on Colby. Maybe the way he felt meant nothing because he’d felt similar things with Channing. He could be defective, unable to separate lust from deeper feelings, or maybe he hadn’t really felt anything other than lust for Channing. Either way, kneeling on the ground with Colby in his arms felt better than being with Channing ever had.

“Get on the bed, I want to suck you,” Colby said.

It had taken begging and pleading to get Channing to suck him, and Colby was demanding that he open up for being blown. It kind of freaked him out, leaving him unable to process his own thoughts.

He moved to the bed, pushing the blankets off before stretching out in the center, shoving a pillow under his head. Colby started at Seth’s knees, kissing and licking, gently sinking his teeth in, then tease-biting him before licking over the spot. Colby toyed with his hips, licking and nipping before sucking on him. He was being driven crazy, more crazy than he’d ever been with Channing, and they hadn’t even gotten to the good stuff.

Then Colby sucked down on him and he cried out, the feeling so good he wanted it to never end. Colby continued to torture him, sucking hard and swirling his tongue. When Colby slid his finger over Seth’s sensitive skin under his balls, he sat up, and pushed Colby off.

“Fuck, I’m gonna come if you keep this up.”

“So you liked that?” Colby lowered his head, looking at Seth through thick eyelashes.

Seth shivered, his body quaking with need, before he pressed Colby to the mattress and stretched out over him. They were sprawled across the king sized bed, his feet dangling off the edge. It was heaven to be pressed against Colby. Their lips met and their hands explored, touching as they tasted each other.

He slid his hand down Colby’s chest to his hip, letting it glide around to Colby’s ass. The firm little globe fit perfectly in his hand and he pulled Colby close, bucking his hips against the man. Their tongues twisted together as they explored, Colby smoothing his fingers over Seth’s chest and arms.

Seth pulled back, looking down at Colby. His heart expanded as he stared into Colby’s eyes. This was more than just a quick fuck, but he couldn’t classify it since he had no real experience. He grabbed a condom from the box that Colby had set on the nightstand and rolled it on. Lube was next as Colby adjusted, pulling back his knees, opening for Seth.

The sight was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen and he didn’t take his eyes off Colby as he slid in, sinking into his hot tight hole. Seth slowed as Colby stiffened under him. He paused and lowered, dropping a kiss on Colby’s lips.

“You okay?” Seth asked.

“Yeah, you’re just big. I haven’t…Ah, I’m tight.”

“You are, and you feel good. Breathe and I’ll go slow.”

Colby nodded and gave him a tight smile. “Ugh, so big.”

Seth started to pull out and Colby grasped on to him, holding him in place. “Don’t stop.”

“Are you sure?” Seth asked.

“Yeah, just slow.”

Seth put his weight on one arm and with his other hand he pinched Colby’s nipple. Colby arched and pressed up, opening more. Seth rocked in deeper, then pulled out a bit before pressing in more.

Colby shivered, his lips pulled back as he gritted his teeth. Then he opened his mouth and cried out, his fingers clawing at Seth.

“Oh God, so…”

Seth slid out an inch, then pressed in, hitting the same spot as before. Colby cried out again, his fingers squeezing Seth’s hip more. Colby opened his eyes and caught Seth’s gaze. He slowed his hip action, rocking in gently before pulling out. The intensity was off the charts as they fucked. But at some point between the bar and here this no longer felt like fucking. This was soul deep with gut churning emotions, not just getting off for fun. How could he have any feelings for this complete stranger?

Colby pulled him down for a kiss, their lips meshing together as he rocked in gently. Then Colby ripped his mouth away from Seth and groaned.

“Oh God, fuck. Seth, Seth,” Colby cried out, his body jerking under Seth.

The pulsing of Colby’s channel set him off. He came, the condom filling with his spunk. Colby was gasping, and he was too. Both of their bodies were drenched in sweat and he’d never felt this good. Seth pulled out, trying to go slow to ease the sting, but Colby still flinched on his exit.

Seth stretched out on the bed beside Colby, smoothing fingers over sweat slicked skin. This felt too much like how the afterglow with Channing felt. Sex with Colby was supposed to be sex, but it had been way more intimate than two strangers bumping uglies in the night. He dropped the condom to the floor and rolled to his back. Colby turned to face him, running his hand over Seth’s shoulder then down to his hips. They stared at each other, neither speaking. Then Colby leaned in, pausing before closing the distance. His lips were gentle against Seth’s as he snuggled closer, his hands smoothing over Seth’s skin. After a few minutes of just kissing, Colby began rocking his hips. The gentle kisses turned heated as snuggling turned to groping. Colby cupped Seth’s balls, rolling them between his fingers.

Seth didn’t care that he needed sleep, or that his practice schedule would be tough the next day, all he wanted was to feel Colby, to taste him and experience heaven again with the man.

He ended the kiss and reached for a condom, handing it to Colby. They didn’t need to speak for Colby to understand. They were both already hard, both ready for another round. Colby rolled on the condom and pushed Seth to his stomach, placing one leg between Seth’s. He teased Seth’s pucker with a lubed finger before lining up.

Colby lowered, his lips on Seth’s back as he held himself above, not pressing in. “Have you ever bottomed before?”

The question surprised him. He twisted and stared into Colby’s gaze, wondering how many guys allowed Colby to top them. Since he’d only been with Channing, the stark differences in his ex and Colby had him filled with uncertainties. He bit down on his lower lip and pushed his hips back, increasing the pressure from Colby’s dick.

“I have, and I want you now.” Seth rocked forward and then pressed back, relaxing enough for Colby to slide in. Colby’s eyes went wide and his mouth hung open. Seth couldn’t keep watching, the angle too uncomfortable. Everything felt amazing. Colby sank in, pressing him to the mattress, his lips feathering over Seth’s back as he swayed above him.

“You feel so good. Fuck, this is amazing. God, Seth, you’re so hot. Your muscles on your back and shoulders are so fucking gorgeous.” Colby rested his forehead against Seth’s back, his breath hot on Seth.

“So big,” Seth gasped as Colby slid in even deeper. He was close, his mind spinning out of control as Colby fucked him deep. He pushed up off the mattress and slammed back, needing to feel it harder. Colby grasped his hips and pushed in as Seth rocked back. The pain was overridden with pleasure and he cried out, clenching the sheets in his hands.

Colby reached around and pulled him up so his back was against Colby’s chest. He gripped Colby’s hands and rocked his hips, the need to come making him crazy.

“Oh God, Colby, I need…” His eyes were closed, his face scrunched up and then Colby stroked him. Seth lost it, dropping to the mattress, trying to support his weight with his arms and shaky legs as he came.

Colby’s fingers dug into his hips as he ground against Seth’s ass. They were both breathing hard, both sweaty again and it felt wonderful and amazing, almost too good for being with a stranger.

Seth lowered to the mattress as Colby slid out. He guessed Colby tossed the condom to the floor, he didn’t know, but the man was right there, his lips grazing over Seth’s cheeks and mouth. The covers were pulled up as he closed his eyes. The hair on Colby’s legs brushed against his and he shivered, amazed that it had been that good with someone he didn’t know. Thoughts of Channing drifted into his mind and he knew sex with Channing, though good, had never been mind-blowing like his experience with Colby. What had he been missing out on all this time?

Chapter Nine

Colby woke to the feel of Seth’s hard cock pressed between his asscheeks. He pumped his hips and heard Seth moan. The room was dark now and he guessed Seth had turned off the lights at some point. It was a little disturbing that he was so comfortable with a stranger to fall asleep enough that he hadn’t even woken when Seth had left the bed.

Seth’s lips were at his neck, then by his ear, kissing and licking. He lifted his leg and draped it over Seth’s, opening for him. The uncovered head of Seth’s cock slid across his pucker and he moaned. He wished they could do this without a condom. He and Neil had a couple of times and with Neil lying about sexual partners, he couldn’t trust again. Plus, Seth was probably fucking others though he’d said he rarely did this type of thing. Seth had no reason to tell him the truth and Neil had every reason but hadn’t. Though he wanted the intimacy of no condom, he couldn’t afford to do that.

Seconds before he was about to say something, Seth let go and stopped moving as he rolled away. He heard the rustle of something behind him and realized Seth was grabbing a condom. Relief filled him. Seth was probably just protecting himself, but still it made him feel better.

With the condom on, Seth lined up and slid in without a word. Colby worried about it for a moment, disliking the impersonal nature of the coupling after he and Seth had fit together so well, then Seth pulled Colby’s upper body against his chest and began kissing his neck.

“So good, Colby. God, I just can’t get enough of you.” Seth rocked his hips slowly as he kissed and licked Colby’s neck.

“I like this,” Colby said.

“You feel so good in my arms.”

Seth dipped one hand lower on Colby’s body and found his dick. The first touches were light, feathery. After a short moment, Seth wrapped his hand around Colby’s cock and started stroking him. He needed more and twisted to kiss Seth. At first Seth didn’t open for him, but Colby kept licking at his lips until he gained entrance. He didn’t care that Seth’s mouth was sour from sleep, or that he might have bad breath too, all that mattered was being a part of this man in bed with him.

The need mounted, driving him crazy. With Neil they might have come together twice in one night, but those times were few and far between. The heat between he and Seth was molten. He was getting off again though he’d already come twice.

Seth pulled out of the kiss and began pumping his hips harder, faster just before he stilled, his body jerking with his orgasm. Colby was right there, following behind him as Seth continued to stroke him.

Neither of them said a word. After Seth pulled out, Colby turned in Seth’s arms and rested his head on Seth’s chest. Their breathing slowed as they caressed each other. He’d never felt this good, this loved, and yet he’d been with Neil for years. It didn’t make sense.

At six thirty his alarm rang and he groaned, reaching for his phone. Seth flipped on the lamp beside the bed before pulling Colby back to his body, straddling him, his cock hard and brushing against Colby’s. Leaving this man was going to be difficult, but they didn’t owe each other anything. Seth dipped low and traced his nose over Colby’s cheek, his lips ending up by Colby’s ear.

“Can we shower together?” Seth asked.

“I’d love that,” Colby whispered.

Seth jumped off the bed and held out his hand. “Come on.”

Colby was amazed by how fast and easily Seth moved. He’d felt the muscles last night, but he’d forgotten how built the guy was. He stared in open amazement as Seth used the restroom, then moved aside and held up the plastic wrapped toothbrush the hotel had left for him.

“Mind if I use this one?” Seth asked.

“Go ahead, I have mine.” They were in sync, moving like they knew each other and hadn’t met less than twelve hours earlier. Colby marveled at how easily they meshed. Living with Neil had taken some getting used to, and most mornings they hadn’t even showered together. Of course he wondered if that was because Neil had been trying to hide something.

After rinsing out his hair, Seth grabbed the soap and shot Colby a sexy smile that made him look rakish and dangerous. He pulled Colby to him and began running the soap over Colby’s body before turning them so they were both under the spray with their chest’s plastered together.

Seth lowered his head and ran his lips over Colby’s. With his head tilted back, he opened for Seth, allowing him to explore and take what he wanted. Colby’s legs shook and his body vibrated with pleasure as Seth used his whole body, rubbing his chest against Colby’s, grinding his dick against Colby’s hip, and using his hands to bring pleasure as they kissed. The way Seth put his whole body into the kiss amazed Colby.

Seth touched him everywhere, working one hand between them as he tried to press their dicks together, but Seth’s legs were too long and his dick was up higher. Seth spread his legs and lowered his hips, lining them up as he began stroking them both. Colby bent his head and watched, loving the way both of their cocks looked together. A shiver ripped through him and he bit his lower lip before looking up, his gaze connecting with Seth’s. This went beyond just fucking and from the way Seth was looking at him he knew it too. Their lips met and though their stance was awkward, it felt so right to be kissing Seth and holding him.

Seth came first, his hot cum shooting up and landing on Colby’s dick. The scent of cum mixed with the friction of Seth’s hand had him coming hard. He leaned against Seth as he caught his breath. Colby heard the flip of the shampoo top before he felt Seth washing his hair. Seth took care of him, cleaning him off, even washing between his butt cheeks. When the water turned off he was almost recovered but coming four times in one night was a record for him. No question, he would sleep good on his flight home this evening. He hated red-eye flights, but that’s what he usually did since the cost of the flight fit the company’s expense profile.

After Seth dried him, he checked the time on his phone which he’d brought into the bathroom with him. He was running a little late and would only have time for a quick breakfast before his meetings started.

He was about to step out of the bathroom when Seth caught him and pressed him against the door. Worry filtered over Colby, but he blew out a breath and calmed. Glancing up, he stared into Seth’s sweet gaze.

“If I gave you my number, would you call me the next time you were in town?”

The question shocked Colby, not because he didn’t want to get together, but that Seth wanted to see him again. This was supposed to be a one-time thing. Just two guys fucking and getting off. Doing this again would mean that a connection could be formed. Did he want that? Could he do that?

“I mean, if you want to do this again. No commitments, just sex.” Seth backed away an inch or two and Colby reached out, grabbing his arm.

“I want to. I just…I wasn’t expecting to feel like this when I went into that bar. Seeing you again would be amazing.”

Seth flashed him a beautiful smile. “So that request didn’t weird you out?”

He shook his head, his heart twisting. Maybe he was just down on himself because Neil had cheated. “No, more like shocked that you would want to see me again.”

“I do.” Seth took Colby’s phone. “I’m leaving it up to you to call if you want. But yeah, if you’re here, I want to see you.”

Colby tapped in his code to unlock his phone and Seth entered his number, only typing in his first name. He wondered about that as he pulled on his clothes, but this was just a hookup even if he had felt more for the guy. They didn’t live in the same town, or even the same state yet, though he was moving here, but it was ridiculous to assume they would have a real relationship. He couldn’t turn down fucking Seth one more time. Maybe he should tell Seth he was planning on moving here, but he kept his mouth shut in case Seth didn’t want to do this again if Colby was a local.

He watched as Seth pulled on his clothes from the night before. The man was amazingly sexy and sure of himself. He had no idea what Seth did for a living, but being in San Diego with a body like his and that sexy short hair meant he was most likely military. Maybe Seth needed to keep his name secret though Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell had ended years ago, he knew from experience that equality didn’t mean equal for everyone. Whatever the reason, he wouldn’t push for more than Seth gave. That’s what had gotten him in trouble with Neil. He’d wanted more from Neil than the man had been willing to give in the beginning, and sadly that had opened him to being manipulated by Neil.

Seth popped the ball cap on his head and stared at Colby as he finished knotting his tie. With the cap in place, he couldn’t really see Seth’s eyes. He shivered as Seth reached out and palmed Colby’s cock before he stepped close. Seth placed his fingers from his free hand under Colby’s chin, tossed his cap to the desk, and bent, his mouth brushing gently over Colby’s. He pulled back after a few kisses and their gazes met. Seth stared at him for a long moment before wrapping Colby in his arms and kissing him deeply, possessing his mouth and his heart with a passionate kiss that left Colby desperate for more. When Seth ended the kiss and stood straight, Colby noticed a sad look before Seth schooled his features.

“Promise me that you’ll call. I really want to see you again.”

Colby nodded and he meant it. “I will.” He didn’t move as Seth grabbed his cap and headed out the door. Before Seth opened the door, Colby spoke. “Can I drop you somewhere?” He didn’t want this to end, didn’t want to let go of whatever they had.

Seth looked back at him and winked. “I’ll catch a cab. I didn’t drive to the bar so I had planned on cabbing it anyway.”

Colby nodded, not stopping Seth as he walked out. What could he say? Don’t go—I need you—where have you been all of my life? The reality was that for now he lived somewhere else and Seth was here. They weren’t together, weren’t a real couple, and any connection he’d felt had probably been just some weird anomaly that wouldn’t repeat the next time they fucked.

Seth was gone, though his presence wouldn’t be forgotten. Colby made it to work on time and his meetings took forever, dragging on, leaving him wondering what Seth had done to him. How could one night change anything? Colby brushed off the desire and cobwebs, focusing on his meetings. He made it to the airport with plenty of time to spare but felt in a daze as he boarded. He wanted to text Seth, but the phone number was given for the next time he was in town. He wouldn’t be the needy man he’d been with Neil. No, this time he would play it cool.

Colby closed his eyes, thinking about how good it had been with Seth. Before the door closed on his flight back to Atlanta, he was asleep.

The next day he made it into the office close to noon. His boss, Diana, called him in, the look on her face serious.

“Colby, how do you think the meetings went?”

“I’m happy. We closed on two deals, but the third is a tossup.”

Her computer dinged and she looked at her screen before turning her attention back to him. “Are you ready to move out there?”

“I think so,” Colby said.

“Good, you’ll have more responsibility. I think you’ll like it. You have another four weeks before they want you out there.”

Colby sat back and stared at Diane, a little fear filtering through him. He and Neil were over, that much was obvious. He had friends, but they moved, some had gone to Miami, others San Francisco. His friends had spread across the country, leaving their little faction that had begun in school and continued after graduation. The years had brought distance as they all got involved in their lives. To be honest, Neil had torn him away from his friends more than their moving to other cities and states had interfered. Getting away from Neil was the best thing that had ever happened to him.

“It’s so soon. I’m ready for it though. I think it will be good for me.”

“Moves like this can be really wonderful. I moved here and it was the best thing for me. It is a step up in the company. The San Diego office is very impressed with you.”

He stood and reached across the desk to shake Diane’s hand. She’d been his boss for years and he appreciated her honesty and the way she treated him. He would miss working with her, but moving to San Diego was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up.

Colby left his boss’s office and pulled up his email on his phone, seeing another note from Neil. Before opening the email, he ducked into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror, staring at himself. What was he doing? Fucking Seth and ignoring Neil, a man he’d known for years, was this really the type of person he was? He and Seth weren’t actually a couple, and Seth hadn’t promised him anything, but if he lived in San Diego would that change things?

He closed his eyes and thought about the night he’d spent in Seth’s arms, the way they’d made love, kissing and holding each other for hours. It had never been like that with Neil, but deep down he had to remember it hadn’t really been making love. It was just sex because Seth was a stranger.

Colby opened the email and read what Neil had to say. It was more of the same and he was ready to move and be rid of the pull to forgive his ex. He needed to have more confidence in himself and he thought Seth would really help in that department.

The bathroom door opened and a guy he didn’t know very well stepped in. Colby pocketed his phone, resisting the urge to call Seth. It had only been a little over twenty-four hours, way too soon to call. The next time he traveled to San Diego he would call the man, but not before, even though the desire to chat with Seth was off the charts.
