Chapter 14
Kade
Arousal created such a strong haze that Kade nearly missed what Liam had said entirely.
âWhat?â he blurted out. Liam threw his head back and laughed before lying down to rest against the sand on his back. He held his arms out to reach for Kade, and he obliged. He slid forward in a fluid motion and hovered above Liamâs body to rest on his elbows so as not to crush Liam beneath his weight. Sometimes it worried Kade, just how small Liam was. But his feisty little star had a few pointed edges, he found, and he probably didnât need to worry as much as he did.
âI said, I want you,â Liam repeated. âIâve missed you so, so much, Kade. I want you. All of you.â
Was he saying what he hoped he was saying? Kadeâs cock twitched underneath the thick carapace of scales. There was no way heâd be able to hide the damn thing for much longer.
Kade grinned, giving Liam a glimpse of his fangs. There was nothing Kade wanted more than to gently press his fangs into the crook of Liamâs neck, marking him as his, and only his. He wasnât the possessive sort of guy, but he couldnât help himself with Liam. Part of him wanted to scoop him up and carry him off to his den like he was buried treasure.
Slow down, man. Youâre going too fast.
âListen, Liamâ¦â Kade started, and Liamâs adorable face scrunched up. âNo, itâs nothing bad. I⦠I want to take things a little slower with you if thatâs alright?â
âOh,â Liam said. His bright smile returned. âOf course. Iâm sorry, I didnât mean to⦠I hope I didnât pressure you.â
Liam, pressure him? Hardly. Heâd only been daydreaming about having Liam in every way possible for the past decade.
Kade dragged a claw against Liamâs bottom lip. âNo. Not at all, love. But I used sex as a way to cope with my own depression for years. I took and took from my partners. They enjoyed it, I guess, butââ
Liam frowned. âStop. I seriously donât want to hear about your past partners, Kade.â
âSorry,â Kade said. He was already fucking things up. Great. âWhat I mean is, I donât want to take anymore. I want to give, for once. I want to please you.â
Liam rubbed up and down Kadeâs scaly arms, warming his skin with the friction. âI understand what you mean. Sex means something different to you. Look, if anyone understands that, itâs me.â
Kade quirked a brow. âWhat do you mean?â
âIâve never had sex. Never wanted to. I looked it up back in high school and learned Iâm demisexual. Itâs, uhâ¦â Liam paused and licked his bottom lip. The sight was enticing, but Kade was determined to listen to Liam without his erection distracting him. âItâs hard to explain, but itâs part of the asexual spectrum. It only means I donât have sexual attraction to anyone until Iâve formed a bond with them. Like you.â
Wait, was that a real thing? If Liam said it was, then it was.
