By the time Kane returned to the manor, it was dinnertime. He went to the dining room, but Heath was not there, so he went to the kitchen.
“Is Sir Heath not home?”
Jenkins answered. “He’s in the study. He said he had some work to do, so he took his meal there.”
“Thank you.”
Kane entered the study to find Heath reading over documents at his desk. “Hello.”
The one word made Heath’s head swing toward him and his face lit up. “You’re back.”
“So are you.”
“I’m trying to review this contract before I agree to become a partner in this iron manufacturing factory.”
“Do you need another set of eyes on it?” Kane hoped he didn’t sound condescending.
“I could use your advice.”
He went over to join Heath, who was now standing by the desk. They stood next to each other as Kane went over the document. It was a standard contract of partnership. As his eyes scanned the paper, the rest of his body was acutely aware of Heath standing next to him. Their hips barely brushed against each other, but it took everything for Kane to focus on the paper instead of the shock of lust that swept through him.
As if reading his mind, Heath put his hand on his. Kane looked over at Heath. His cheeks were flushed, and his lips were parted, ready to be sucked and teased. The contract was forgotten as Kane took Heath in his arms. Their mouths collided. The kiss was hard and greedy, filled with a desire both found impossible to resist. Kane brought his hands up to Heath’s head, burying his fingers in his hair, pulling him closer. Heath’s pelvis jerked when he tightened his grip. So he liked it a little rough. Kane would store that bit of information away for later.
“God, I’ve missed you,” Heath whispered into his mouth.
“The feeling is mutual.” Kane thrust his engorged cock at Heath’s nether regions. Even through the fabric, the contact made him want to come immediately.
They kissed as if it were the first and last time. Kane poured his heart into the embrace. He wanted to tell Heath he would stay as long as he wanted, forever, if he asked. The idea made Kane almost giddy. It was the first time in his life he had thought about staying with one man. Was it even possible for two men to live together in peace? In that moment, he would believe anything was possible as long as he had Heath.
Heath slanted his mouth over Kane’s, pressing harder. He was getting better, Kane thought. For professing to be inexperienced, Heath was a quick learner. He trailed pecks down Kane’s neck, ending at his collarbone where he gave a playful nip at the sensitive flesh. Christ, the man’s mouth was made for loving.
As Heath kissed his way back up to Kane’s mouth, he worked at the fastening of Kane’s drawers until his large cock sprung free. The first touch of Heath’s hand made Kane let out a cry that Heath took into his mouth as he plunged his tongue inside.
Not to be outdone, Kane freed Heath’s steely rod and soon they were both pumping vigorously, each eager to bring them to a frenzied conclusion. When Heath squeezed Kane’s cock, Kane would do the same to him. Soon they fell into a feverish pace that had them panting between kisses, taking in gulps of air as they sailed to the stars.
Kane took a finger and rubbed it over Heath’s tip, feeling the small drop of moisture which had leaked out before leaning forward to brush his cock against Heath’s. It was exquisite. They rubbed their sensitive tips against one another, pumping harder, faster until Kane feared his legs would give out before they finished.
Remembering Heath and his leg, he wrapped an arm around his lover, holding him tight.
“You are beautiful like this,” Kane could barely say the words between his panting breaths.
It was all Heath needed to throw back his head in surrender as his c shot out, coating Kane’s cock. A second later Kane followed suit, grinding into Heath as he too found his release.
He had to get Heath in bed. If it felt this wonderful just to take his cock in hand, what would it feel like to bury his dick inside Heath’s tight ass? The image was almost enough to make him hard again. They stood there, silent as their heart rates slowed and their breathing quieted.
“I apologize for distracting you from the contract,” Heath said, his breath warm against Kane’s cheek. “You were so close, and it’s been days and I...”
Kane put a finger over Heath’s lips. “You never have to apologize, at least, not when it’s this, being together. I didn’t want to push you, so I’ve done my best to keep my hands off you.” A wicked grin sprung to his lips.
Heath’s eyes widened. “You’ve been purposefully avoiding me?”
“Only because I know this is new to you, and I didn’t want to make you feel uncomfortable. But it’s taken everything in me not to touch you or kiss you every time we’re in the same room together.”
It was risky to reveal so much, but Kane was willing to take the chance. If Heath wasn’t ready for this, Kane wanted to know sooner rather than later, because he feared his heart was already too much involved. He waited for Heath to respond.
Finally, Heath spoke. “It frightens me, but in a good way. I think I’m scared to embrace this time with you.” His gaze bore into Kane. “But this is the first time in my life that I feel content, happy. Ever since my injury, I’ve felt lost, more so than before, like I didn’t fit in anywhere. I certainly don’t fit into this genteel lifestyle, but when I’m with you, I feel like I belong. Like we fit together.”
Each word hit Kane like a jolt. He nearly rubbed his chest from the pressure and pride that swelled at hearing Heath’s words.
