the boxes as he continued to sort through them, the tone of his voice petulant.
Darren stopped going through files as he put several things together at once. Zackary would never allow his submissive to be here with Darren. While Darren would never overstep and infringe on another man’s property, Zackary’s negligence could be fruitful. Darren licked his lips and relished the quickening of his pulse. While Elle would take a while to seduce, this would take care of his needs.
“You know, it takes more than dimples to turn me on,” Darren said shifting his body to stand right behind Luke.
Luke stilled beneath the slight pressure.
The instant response made Darren’s cock twitch. “Hmm, so responsive. Does your master know you’re alone with me?”
The heavy sound of swallowing followed his question. There was no mistaking the change in Luke’s breathing.
Darren leaned into him, bracing his arms on either side of the slightly smaller man, whispering in his ear, “Do you know what I do with men like you? It’s not nice to come in here waving that tight ass when I’m already so close to the edge.”
He received no verbal response. Just the rapid rise and fall of Luke’s chest let Darren know the sub was hanging on his every word.
Darren gripped Luke’s hips and pulled him tight against his chest. “Tell me, Luke; what would your master think if I stripped you down right here, in one of his own offices and took you? Just how naughty would you be to defy your Master? Hmmm.”
Luke trembled in his arms. “For you, I would face his wrath.”
Shocked, Darren stood there, his pulse firing a rapid beat against his ears. He must not have heard right. No one ever went out on a limb for him, not even his mother—no, never her. His father avoided him like the plague. And his lovers—once they got what they wanted, they were gone. He liked it that way. No questions, no pretense of a long-term commitment, no complications. He never had to let anyone in and that was how he wanted to keep it.
One second then another passed. Finally, Darren stepped back and let Luke go. “You shouldn’t say that.” The seduction was over. Luke wanted more than he could ever give, of that Darren was certain.
Luke turned and the full force of those brown eyes focused on him. “It’s done. The master knows what I want. The only question is –, can you handle it?”
The hairs on Darren’s neck bristled as he stood up a bit straighter. No one had ever called him a coward and they weren’t starting now—no matter how much something scared him. This little upstart was no different. “You think you can take me?”
Luke smiled and visibly eyed the bulge still evident in his jeans. “Oh, I know I can handle it. But as long as you’re after Elle, I’m not interested.”
The heat of a challenge suffused Darren. There was nothing he liked better than to change people’s minds. “We’ll see about that.”
“I’m counting on it. Besides, we both know a woman can’t ever satisfy you. There are just some things you can’t hide from me.”
Luke knew. Darren could see it in those warm brown eyes. His worst fear—the fear that someone would know what he’d really been through–—had come true.
Shame filled him, causing his stomach to knot and twist in answer to him. How many people had guessed? If Darren could tell a person’s most secret desires by just looking at them, it was possible someone could guess at his own past.
Those eyes held no revulsion, no hint of derision. That alone made his heart pound and his body twitch. When he finally found his voice, he said the only thing he could. “Luke, you know nothing about me. And while I might like the feel of my cock in your ass and you may be the best fuck in the free world, that’s all you will ever be to me—an easy fuck. You remember that before you offer yourself so freely to me again.”
Those brown eyes lost their shine and Darren could have whipped himself.
