Ty’s joint was ’bricker than brick.
Kell lifted his head higher, aiming those pretty lips where he wanted them to be. Ty hovered his mouth just over his and paused there, inflicting a few more seconds of torture before giving in to what he craved. Kell rose onto the balls of his feet and took their suffering away. He touched their lips together, gently at first, before moaning deeply, tilting his head and flicking his warm tongue at Ty’s lips.
Ty’s composure shattered.
He pushed Kell back against his front door and devoured his mouth with an animalistic passion he didn’t know he had. Kell’s mouth was just as juicy and flavorful as the peach it resembled. So damn supple, and moist with just a hint of fuzz tickling his top lip. Ty groaned loud enough for the neighbors to hear and drove his tongue inside again. The taste of Kell’s mouth was so much better than he’d dreamed. He tasted clean, citrusy.
He took every one of Kell’s whimpers and whines for himself. Licked and swallowed them away. They were his now. Bringing his hands down to Kell’s cheeks, he tried to wind their kiss down, but it was still blazing hot. Ty bent at the knees and ground his hard erection against Kell’s, making them both cry out in ecstasy. Hell, if he didn’t end this, he’d go back on what he’d promised and take Kell on the floor in his living room. That wouldn’t do. He was too good for that.
He pulled back slightly, his ego rejoicing when Kell strained to get more. He was greedy for him, his body begging. Kell grabbed at the back of Ty’s neck, pulling him down, while nestling his head into his neck. When Ty felt Kell’s hot tongue lick across his Adam’s apple he slammed his hand against the door to steady himself, his hips picking up an erratic rhythm all their own. Ty’s eyes rolled in the back of his head as Kell placed, sexy open-mouthed kisses all over his throat. Oh, that mouth. Ty stood to his full height, leaving his forehead resting on Kell’s. They were both quiet, trying to catch their breath from their first kiss. Some things were truly worth the wait.
Earning Kell’s gifts the same as he was earning his was the way it should be.
Ty had placed the purest gold in the world around Kell’s neck and in return he’d gifted him with a kiss that made him see the stars.
“All right guys. Everything has checked out on you two. Background check, physical, permits are all clean, so Georgia says you’re qualified,” Duke said, standing in the middle of the office.
All of them were at their desks. Ty and Kell now had their own large office chairs and executive-style desks that were pushed up against each other like Ford’s and Dana’s.
“Now that you’ve observed for weeks and you’ve seen the right way to do things and even a couple instances of the wrong way to do shit.” Duke cut his eyes to Dana.
Dana threw his hands up. “Come on! We were supposed to be doing non-violent only. That guy bit me hard as hell, I had to drop the arm I was holding. He should’ve ate the asphalt… he tried to eat me.”
“Shut up,” Duke continued with his spiel. “I must admit that I had my doubts with you guys. Especially after you started acting like teens in puberty. That’s why I gave you an extra few days of observing, so I could keep observing you.”
Ty knew that was bullshit, because he and Kell had never been inappropriate at work. Maybe a few longing gazes from across the room but that was it. Nothing like what they’d caught Ford and Dana doing in the breakroom two weeks ago. Or while Quick was in court all afternoon, what Ty had heard Duke doing with his partner, Vaughan, in his office last week. He wasn’t fooled by the muffled grunts and sounds of jarring furniture. Out of all those grown men, he and Kell were the youngest and yet the only ones able to control their bodies.
“But there’s been no drama or silliness, so you’ve shown that you can keep your personal lives out of the office and I appreciate it. Ya’ll have been instrumental in helping out with the day-to-day duties in the office while we kept up with our priority cases also. So, thank you. We make an even stronger team now. I like that. It’s not a secret that all of us are ready to retire out of the field and let the new guys come in, learn and potentially take over.
“Now, I’m not talking about us retiring to shady pastures or no shit like that. I mean we’re gonna be doing the in-house tracking, while the next generation does the recovering. That’s the new vision for Duke’s. Veterans operating behind the scenes with a new powerhouse apprehension team on the streets.”
