“Pretty sure seduction is supposed to continue after we’re naked,” Michael countered, even as he bit back a moan at the tease of Alex’s fingers. He pressed closer in response to the clutch at his ass, and wondered how he was supposed to come up with words with Alex pressed close to him, naked, both of them hard and wanting so much more.

He wanted everything, every sensation, every touch. He wanted Alex in every way he could have him, and wanted Alex to have him every way he could. But he also needed to know Alex really wanted him just as badly. Even if this was going up in flames once Alex came to his senses again, or decided to run again, Michael wanted those damn messages to have been real, that Alex actually planned some way to get him in bed, that they weren’t just doing what they always did.

Even if he knew they were. Alex had already said he hadn’t planned on really seducing him, and as much s Michael was joking about it, he was kinda disappointed about that, which was ridiculous, but...there it was. The need to know he wasn’t just someone Alex loved, despite thinking he shouldn’t, someone worth planning to have, even if for just the night.

He was too turned on to let the shadow push its way too far in before he shoved it back down. No point in wishing for what he couldn’t have, when he had something so close right before him.

But the creative, playful descriptions of what he wanted Alex to do to him wouldn’t come; he was too far in tonight.

“I just want you.”
