LOGINJasper woke to the feeling of a warm mouth sliding down his cock.Noah’s head moved slowly between his legs, lips tight, tongue swirling around the head before taking him deeper. Jasper’s hand found Noah’s hair without thinking, fingers tightening as a low groan escaped his throat. Noah looked up, eyes dark, holding Jasper’s gaze as he sucked him deeper, cheeks hollowing.Jasper’s hips jerked. His breathing quickened. He watched Noah’s mouth stretch around him, watched the way Noah’s throat worked when he took him to the back. Noah moaned around his length, the vibration shooting straight through Jasper. His free hand gripped the sheets, knuckles white.Noah pulled off with a wet sound, lips shiny. He kissed up Jasper’s stomach, sucking a mark just below his ribs, then moved higher. Their mouths met in a slow, deep kiss. Jasper tasted himself on Noah’s tongue. His hands slid down Noah’s back, pulling him closer until their bodies pressed together, cocks rubbing slick and hot between t
Jasper let himself into Room 212 at 10:47pm, shoulders heavy from the long drive and the weight of another week that felt like it was slipping through his fingers. The conference had been exhausting — panels, critiques, networking that left him smiling when he wanted to disappear. He’d booked the room for one night to avoid driving home in the dark. Just rest. Nothing more.The shower was running.Steam curled under the bathroom door, carrying the faint scent of hotel soap and something warmer, more familiar. Jasper froze in the doorway, keycard still in his hand. The room was supposed to be empty. He checked the number again. 212. Correct. He’d double-checked at the front desk.He should leave. Call down to reception. Explain the mistake.Instead he closed the door quietly behind him and sat in the armchair by the window. Heart pounding. The water kept running. He could hear it clearly now — steady, rhythmic, the occasional shift of someone moving under the spray. His mind supplied t
Eli circled Dara in the empty ring, gloves up, sweat already dripping down his back. The gym had cleared out hours ago. Just the two of them now. The way Dara moved — powerful, fluid, that focused glare — had been driving Eli crazy for months. Tonight it was worse. Every punch Dara threw made Eli’s cock twitch in his shorts. Every grunt, every flex of muscle under sweat-slick skin, every time their bodies collided in a clinch sent heat rushing straight to his groin.Dara’s shoulder brushed Eli’s chest. Their eyes locked for half a second too long. Eli felt it in his stomach — that sharp twist of want that had been building since the first time they sparred.“Keep your guard up,” Eli muttered, voice rougher than he meant.Dara smirked, breathing hard. “Make me.”Eli lunged. They crashed together. Gloves on gloves, bodies slamming. Eli pinned Dara against the ropes, hips rolling forward before he could stop himself. Their cocks brushed through thin shorts. Both of them were hard. Obviou
Eli gripped the steering wheel so tight his knuckles were white the entire drive to Dara’s apartment. His cock was throbbing, leaking into his shorts, still slick from the gym and the way Dara had looked at him in the ring. Every red light felt like torture. Dara sat in the passenger seat, breathing hard, one hand resting on his own thigh like he was trying not to touch himself.The silence was thick. Heavy. Eli could feel Dara’s eyes on him every few seconds. He kept replaying the way Dara had pushed back against his tongue in the ring, the broken sounds he’d made, the way his ass had clenched around Eli’s fingers. Eight months of pretending he didn’t want this. Eight months of watching Dara move and spar and sweat and telling himself it was just rivalry.It had never been just rivalry.Dara’s hand slid over the console. Bold. No hesitation. He palmed Eli’s cock through his shorts, squeezing, stroking him slowly. Eli’s breath caught hard. His hips jerked up into the touch before he c
Eli leaned against the far wall of the gym, arms crossed, pretending he was just cooling down after his own set. The place was almost empty this late — just the hum of the ventilation and the rhythmic thud of gloves on leather. Dara was at the heavy bag again, destroying it like it owed him money. Tank top soaked through, clinging to the broad lines of his back and shoulders. Sweat dripping down his neck. Every punch landed with a grunt that echoed across the room and settled low in Eli’s gut.Fuck. Stop looking.He couldn’t. Eight months of this. Eight months of watching Dara move like that — powerful, precise, controlled chaos — and pretending it didn’t do shit to him. Pretending the way Dara’s muscles flexed under his skin didn’t make Eli’s cock twitch. Pretending the competitive fire in those dark eyes didn’t make something deeper than rivalry stir in his chest.Dara finished a combo, stepped back, breathing hard. Chest heaving. Tank top riding up just enough to show the cut of hi
Cole lay in the dark of his temporary apartment, Wren’s head on his chest, her breathing slow and warm against his skin, and for the first time in years the silence didn’t feel empty.He kept one hand on her back, stroking slowly, feeling the rise and fall of her breathing. Her leg was thrown over his, thigh pressed against his cock, which was already half-hard again even though they’d fucked twice already tonight. The scent of her — sweat, sex, something sweet that was just her — filled his nose every time he breathed in. It made his chest feel tight in a way that wasn’t grief.This is dangerous. You’re getting too attached too fast. She’s Marcus’s wife. Was. She was.But she wasn’t Marcus’s anymore. She was here. Naked. Pressed against him. Whispering his name like it mattered. And that was the thing that kept undoing him — the way she looked at him like he was Cole, not a ghost of his brother. Like he was enough exactly as he was.She stirred. Lifted her head. Her eyes were sleepy
