Cursing his own indecision, Edward snatched up his phone from where he’d left it charging on the nightstand and pulled up James’s number. Worrying about what could happen wasn’t going to stop Dillinger or keep Daniel safe. Time to get this shit done.Chapter SeventeenDaniel couldn’t stop thinking that this could be their last night together.
Edward had worked out a plan with James and then set up the meeting with Dillinger for the next day.
In the meantime, Daniel planned to enjoy his night with Edward.
The whole time he ate his dinner, Edward stared at him, gaze hotter than the damn sun. Daniel’s steak was perfectly cooked, smoky and tender; the Salad Niçoise was fresh and crisp, chock full of tomatoes, eggs, olives, and anchovies. Daniel had never had anchovies in his salad before, but he liked them. He popped a juicy tomato into his mouth, his gaze locking with Edward’s. The man looked at him like he’d rather be eating him than his dinner.
Daniel was okay with that. They were both in boxers, and his gaze ran over Edward’s wide shoulders and pecs, loving the man’s hard form. He looked at his face, roughhewn and sexy with that close beard and full lips. He lost interest in his food as he stared, and Edward stared back. A wave of desire swamped him, and it felt like it ebbed and flowed between them, washing him with heat he felt in every part of his body. He set his fork and knife down, licking his lips.
Edward stood and came around the table. He pulled Daniel to his feet. Neither said a word—they weren’t needed. Edward’s mouth came down on his, and the kiss started out sweet with nips and licks, then turned carnal fast. His tongue slid deep into Daniel’s mouth, curling with his own, and every nerve in Daniel’s body came to life as he wrapped his arms around Edward’s shoulders. He speared his fingers through the fine hair at the back of Edward’s neck and opened his mouth wider for their kiss.
The next thing he knew, Edward wrapped tight arms around his waist and hefted him up. He walked him to the bed and laid him flat before coming down on top of him. He picked up where he’d left off in the kiss, his beard rasping over Daniel’s cheeks and chin. He tasted of the wine they’d had with dinner. God, he felt good on top of Daniel, heavy and hot, his heart pounding so hard, Daniel could feel it against his chest. He nudged Daniel’s legs apart and he fell between them, his cotton-covered dick rubbing over Daniel’s as he rocked his hips into him. Daniel’s nipples rasped against his chest and he remembered how sensitive Edward was there. He brought his hands to Edward’s nipples and pinched lightly, then harder to judge his reaction.
Edward shuddered over him and the movement of his hips picked up rhythm. They kissed until Daniel’s lips began to feel swollen and raw and he fucking loved it. Not all his past lovers had liked kissing.
Edward rolled them to their sides and started running his hand all over Daniel’s body. He stroked his shoulders and down his arm and his chest. He ran the backs of his fingers over Daniel’s stomach, then reached into his boxers to grasp hold of his cock. Daniel gasped and thrust his hips into that fist as Edward kissed his jaw and his neck. He moved down to Daniel’s chest and took one nipple into his mouth to suck. Daniel clasped the back of his head and groaned. Edward nuzzled across his chest to his other nipple, then kissed down his stomach, his tongue dipping into Daniel’s navel before he ran his beard over the sensitive skin of Daniel’s lower abdomen.
“These need to come off,” he whispered as he tugged down Daniel’s underwear.
Daniel kicked them off and moved to pull Edward’s off as well. Edward resumed running his beard over the soft skin of Daniel’s groin and he gritted his teeth as desire speared through him hard and fast. That soft hair rasped over his balls, the sensitive skin on his inner thighs. He moved up to his abdomen. Daniel’s dick jumped, knocking Edward in the mouth, and Edward smiled against it before his tongue came out to lick. He ran the flat of it from root to tip, taking Daniel into his mouth. That warm, wet suction made Daniel go tense with pleasure.
Edward stuck two fingers in his mouth alongside his dick and got them wet before he took them down to rub over Daniel’s hole. Daniel had always been a sucker for any kind of ass play, and he spread his legs to give Edward more access. Edward moaned around his dick, his cheeks hollowing as he sucked harder and pushed those two fingers inside Daniel.
