Carson tasted vanilla and Drew, and he was suddenly ravenous in his need to taste every flavor he could get from Drewâs mouth. He flicked his tongue against Drewâs, his body on fire. Drewâs tongue curled against his, body moving in closer. Small hands came up to cup his cheeks again, thumbs caressing his beard.
Want and need rushed through Carson and he tugged the man to him, feeling the taut, slim body against his, running his hand down Drewâs back to cradle him close. Oh, he felt good against him, warm and alive. Drewâs arms came around his neck, his head tilted, and he met Carsonâs hunger with more of his own.
Fuck.
The burn of desire had his dick hard and aching. He reached under Drewâs arms and hauled him up onto the counter, standing between his legs and deepening the kiss.
A clatter outside of the kitchen brought Carson back to reality. He pulled his mouth away, Drewâs breath hot on his wet lips as he stared at him. The man looked back, eyes heavy-lidded, his desire stamped on his face in the bright color in his cheeks.
He shouldnât have done that. Shouldnât have let his desire get control of the situation. He liked this job, and a messy situation here would just devastate him. He stepped back from Drew and worked to pull his body back under control.
âWow,â Drew whispered. âCan we do that again?â
Carson shook his head. âI donât think thatâs a good idea.â
Green eyes went wide. âBut you felt that, too, didnât you? What itâs like between us? Why do you want to ignore it?â
âBecause itâs not a good idea.â
âBut why? You say youâre not interested in me that way, but what just happened proved the exact opposite. You do want me.â
âDoesnât matter if I do.â He ran his hand through his hair and sighed. âLook, Drew. Iâm sorry, but Iâm just not into starting up something right now.â
Drewâs face clouded, and he jumped down from the counter. âYou are one infuriating, stubborn man, do you know that? Not to mention hot and cold. Donât say you didnât start this with the scone.â He paced away and turned back. âI know you think I have all this experience and yeah, I do have some. And you know what? I have enough to know that kissing doesnât usually feel like that. Youâre crazy for not wanting more.â
âWell, I donât. Iâm not trying to hurt your feelings hereââ
âFuck my feelings, Iâm surprised, okay?â He sighed, his shoulders slumping. âAnd maybe yeah, disappointed. I donât know what youâre so afraid of. I wonât hurt you.â
The soft words speared into his heart. âBut you could hurt me.â
Drew met his gaze, his own sad as he nodded. âOkay, Iâll back off. For now. One thing you should probably know about me though? Iâm stubborn as hell and when I know somethingâs good, Iâm smart enough to explore it. I want you in my bed, Carson Mills.â
God, the thought of being in the manâs bed made Carson break out into a sweat.
