Liam turned and gently cupped the back of Billy’s head before kissing him so sweetly Billy’s toes curled in his boots. He wiggled until he was firmly pressed against Liam and wound his arms around him, enjoying the play of muscles beneath his palms. Liam shuddered; his shirt was damp with sweat, plastered to his ripped body. Billy slanted his head, fitting their mouths together better and lightly scraped his nails over the thin material.
“God,” Liam murmured, brushing his lips over Billy’s. He arched his back a bit, pressing into Billy, purring like a big cat as Billy continued the soft scratching. “I want to feel you touch me with nothing between us.”
Billy did some purring of his own, his short nails kneading the hard flesh. Liam’s lips parted, small gasps spilling from them as he tipped his head back. “Yes, baby…”
Encouraged by the way Liam seemed to like what he was doing, Billy stood on his toes and nipped Liam’s collarbone, sucking hard. Salt and man, a perfect taste, one Billy loved—it flooded his tongue as he tried to mark Liam through his shirt. Liam’s gasps turned to the most erotic gasps, and Billy dared to bring his teeth into play, biting carefully.
Liam went rigid, fisting his hands at the small of Billy’s back, driving him almost painfully against Liam. Liam’s hips snapped. Billy attacked the flesh with his mouth, dug his nails in slightly, and Liam howled, his hips stuttering as those hands at Billy’s back spasmed.
“F-fuck, Billy!” Liam rasped out as Billy watched the way Liam’s pulse pounded in his neck. Liam span them, pressing Billy’s back to the car. He wedged one of Billy’s thighs between his own and rutted. Billy dipped his hands down lower, shoving them into the back of Liam’s jeans. He let his nails drag over the swells of Liam’s ass then curled his fingers, pressing hard against the taut muscles.
Liam grunted then took Billy’s mouth again. Billy nipped at Liam’s tongue and felt Liam’s entire body shake then go rigid. Hot wet heat seeped through to the skin of Billy’s thigh. He squeezed Liam’s butt as much as he could and was rewarded with another lovely sound from him. Billy was soaring, thinking he could just do this again and again, drive Liam to the point where his control snapped and he came apart, shaking and gasping and moaning.
“I’m sorry,” Liam murmured, going stiff in a most
un
enjoyable manner against Billy.

Billy’s smug feeling evaporated as he looked at Liam. He couldn’t make out Liam’s expression since it was the middle of the night and there wasn’t much light where Liam had parked, but he thought Liam was frowning.
“Sorry for what?” Billy asked, half afraid to hear the answer.
Liam sighed and pressed his forehead to Billy’s, rocking it gently from side to side. “I came in my pants like a teenager, and I didn’t mean to ever treat you like this, like some cheap trick or like—”
Billy didn’t like where Liam’s mind was going with this. “Like someone so desirable you couldn’t hold back? Or like a…a boyfriend you enjoy getting hard for because it makes him feel good, seeing how you come apart for him? Like someone who trusts me enough to give me control for a little bit?”
Liam’s head snapped back, shaking from side to side. “No! That’s not what I meant!”
He put a little space between them, but not enough to dislodge Billy’s hands. Liam reached up and cradled Billy’s jaw, trailing his thumb over Billy’s bottom lip. “I mean, I didn’t want you to feel like I was just using you to get off, but I’ve been on edge since sucking you in the office, and I couldn’t—” Liam stopped, licking his lips once before continuing. “I couldn’t hold back when you…when you got aggressive. It felt so good, letting you take over, I just—I lost control. I haven’t come in my pants since I was a lot younger. It just rattled me.”
Billy wondered if he meant coming in his jeans or letting someone else take the lead, and a new want began to pulse in his veins. The idea of taking Liam, having his big body pliant and, even sexier, his considerable will handed over Billy, of Liam under him, writhing as Billy took his sweet ass, was almost too much. Billy moaned and bounced on to his toes, his lips melding with Liam’s as he drove his tongue in deep.
Liam’s answering moan vibrated throughout Billy. He clutched at Liam again, pulling him closer. When Liam was trembling every bit as hard as he was, Billy rocked back on to his heels and looked up at Liam through his lashes. It took him two attempts, but he finally pushed the words past his lips. “I thought it was the sexiest thing I’ve ever experienced, well, right up there with you making love to me.”
He steeled himself for the rejection, but his want of this man fortified his resolve as Billy lifted his head up. He shouldn’t be embarrassed to ask, he told himself. “Would you let me—
” Fuck, this was harder than he’d thought! Billy shoved the words out, running them together into a near-incomprehensible sentence. “Willyouletmemakelovetoyou?” He gushed, www.total-e-bound.com

feeling his skin heat all over. He pressed on, wanting to get it all out before Liam could tell him no. “I haven’t, ever, so I might suck at it, but I’d like to—”
Wait, that wasn’t quite accurate
.
“I would want to, would love to make love to you.”
It was one of the absolutely most difficult things he’d ever said, but he wanted it bad enough to risk being rejected. Topping hadn’t ever held any appeal to him, or maybe he was used to everyone assuming he was a bouncy bottom, even though he hadn’t even liked being fucked until Liam had shown him how amazing it could be. But this was Liam, who’d quickly come to mean just about everything to Billy, and he wanted to share everything with him.
Liam’s sharply inhaled breath had Billy’s hopes crumbling immediately. He should have known better. Liam didn’t seem the sort to spread for anyone, and probably part of Billy’s appeal was Liam’s assumption of Billy as a total bottom. “It’s okay, never mind, just forget I asked—”
Billy’s protest was cut off as Liam crushed his mouth to Billy’s. The hard press of Liam’s cock against his belly confused Billy at first then his mind processed Liam’s obvious excitement at his request right before a few synapses melted.
“God, baby please,” Liam murmured shakily, “I want to feel you inside me, too.”
The words sank into Billy, setting his nerve endings alight with more desire than he’d ever thought possible. He nodded once, unable to get his voice to work then kissed his lover again, drawing a soft sound from him. Billy pulled back, his cock throbbing in his jeans, so close to coming he shook with it.
“Are you ready to come home with me?” he asked, not caring when his voice squeaked a bit.
Liam nodded and stepped back. Billy grudgingly took his hands off Liam’s tempting body and tucked his thumbs into his jeans pockets. Liam dug something out of one of his and held it up to Billy.
Billy took the car keys, shooting Liam a surprised look.
“You drive,” Liam said, already moving around to the passenger side. “I don’t think I can concentrate enough to do it.”
Billy bit his bottom lip. He wasn’t in any better shape, but Liam’s trust meant more to him than anything else. Billy took a couple of deep breaths and unlocked the doors. Then he www.total-e-bound.com

got in and forced himself to think about trust instead of the fact that he’d soon have his cock buried in Liam’s ass.

The short drive back to his place seemed to take an eternity to Billy. Even the conversation—what there was of it between long glances filled with yearning and soft caresses that nearly made him cream his jeans—was trivial, really, just something to try to keep them from jumping each other in the car. By the time he parked beside the stairs to his apartment over Xavier’s garage, Billy was ready to beg Liam for relief, and he might have if Liam hadn’t unbuckled and quickly taken Billy’s mouth with a scorching kiss.
Liam pulled back and, with a rather sexy, smug grin, opened his door and got out. Billy opened his door to do the same. He’d have had more success if he hadn’t got tangled in his seat belt. Even though he’d unlatched it, he’d somehow managed to get an arm tangled in the stupid thing, and nearly ripped the limb off in his hurry to get to Liam.
Luckily, he didn’t think Liam had seen the whole debacle, as he was already striding up the stairs. Billy finally managed to get himself freed and the car door shut, then he promptly stumbled when he looked at Liam.
Liam was standing at the top of the stairs, on the tiny little landing. The dim porch light cast his face in shadows, accentuating the sharp cut of his cheekbones, the dimpled chin, the chiselled planes of his chest and abs—Billy’s heart thudded as it dawned on him that Liam had tossed his shirt off somewhere. Probably right on top of Xavier’s prized Absolutely Fabulous roses. The idea made Billy snicker, or start to, but the sound was quickly cut off as Liam looked down at him and began, oh so slowly, to unfasten his pants.
“Coming?” Liam asked, his deep voice rumbling through the night to wrap around Billy. He only nodded, passing up the easy joke. There was nothing funny about this moment, with Liam watching him, searing Billy with the intensity of his regard.
Liam leaned his back against the door, casting his body into the light. He pulled his zipper down in almost imperceptible increments. Billy stood, spellbound by the sight of Liam slowly, thoroughly, teasing him, giving him a show.
All of those strange, unfamiliar feelings of possession and aggression that had fired Billy’s blood in the parking lot slammed back into him, setting his pulse to pounding in his ears. Billy flew into action, thundering up the steps, his gaze locked with Liam’s. He www.total-e-bound.com

slammed into Liam on the landing, knocking a grunt from both of them as he bounced on to his toes. Bill delved his hands into Liam’s soft hair as he pulled his head down and crushed their lips together.
This frantic need coursing through him might have unsettled Billy if he’d had time to think about it, but all he could do was feel. Liam’s lips parted; his tongue tangled and teased Billy’s. Liam cupped Billy’s ass, kneading the taut globes as Billy whimpered and nipped, wanting to devour him and every sound he made, too. Liam gave as good as he got, biting and flicking his tongue over the stinging flesh. Billy was driven by something he didn’t quite understand, some internal need to mark and own.
Liam shuddered and, as swift as a heartbeat, ceded control to Billy. He opened, his lips parting more, his tongue following Billy’s instead of fighting it. He loosened his grip on Billy’s ass then Liam smoothed his hands up to his waist. Billy slid one hand down, wedging it between them to tease Liam’s nipple. He pinched the little nub then scraped it with his nail, and Liam’s head dropped back with a moan.
Billy trailed his mouth down Liam’s jaw before finding a sweet spot below his ear. Billy latched on, sucking and nibbling, drawing up the mark he had to leave. Liam writhed and panted, desperate sounds spilling from his lips. Those sounds turned to words as Liam tightened his hands around his waist.
“Please, Billy, God, please, I need you,” Liam rasped.
Billy plucked the turgid flesh again as he worked the mark he’d sucked up, darkening it, he hoped, so it would stay for days. Only once he thought he’d done so successfully did Billy pull away. Even in the porch light, he could see the dark bruise there, and it thrilled him in a way nothing had before.
Mine,
the mark proclaimed.
Mine,
Billy’s heart agreed.
“Inside,” Billy muttered, digging the keys back out of the pocket he’d shoved them in.
Liam stumbled aside, one hand still on Billy’s waist. Billy reached for him, steadying him before sliding the key in the lock and guiding Liam inside.
Billy didn’t waste any time; he had them both stripped down seconds after shutting the door. He took Liam’s mouth in another scorching kiss, then twined their hands together and led Liam to his bedroom. It was a little messy, the whole place was, really, what with the half-packed boxes and such, but he hoped Liam wouldn’t care. He hadn’t been expecting company, hadn’t, in fact, ever brought anyone home with him. Billy was very glad of that fact now. It made him feel less like the whore so many thought him to be.

As they stepped into the bedroom, Liam stopped suddenly behind him. Billy still his hand and found himself taking a quick step back to keep from sprawling gracelessly on his butt. He half turned and gave Liam an inquisitive look as his heart plummeted.
“Changing your mind?” Billy asked, hoping his voice sounded steadier to Liam than it did to him. “We don’t have to—I mean, you can fuck me instead, I haven’t—”
Liam shook his head, but he was looking around, his gaze darting from box to box. He finally turned to Billy. “Going somewhere?”
Billy huffed and looked around the room before facing his lover again. He’d rather have had this conversation after, but it was obvious Liam wasn’t going to let it go. He’d used his super-serious FBI voice when he’d asked the question.
“Billy?” Liam stepped closer and touched Billy’s cheek, just a single sweep of finger over flesh, but it set Billy’s heart to pounding. “What’s wrong?”
Billy hoped the answer was nothing and Liam would think what he was doing was right. He was pretty sure Liam wanted him for more than sex, just as Liam claimed. So, this should make them both happy. Billy let go of Liam’s hand and walked over to his dresser, picking up a few papers he’d set there. He came back and handed them to Liam.
“I wanted to go to college, and Xav helped me get everything done so I could.”
