Love is Always Write Anthology Volume 1

His fingers bit into my hips as he started to thrust. I rolled my hips. Meeting him thrust for thrust.
    "No."
    I froze. No?
    He swatted my ass once more. "Flip over. I want to look into your eyes."
    Whoa. This wasn't going to be a quickie, get-in-and-get-out kind of thing. He wanted a connection. Alec withdrew long enough for me to roll onto my back. I held onto my knees, unsure of whether he wanted me to reach for him or not. He crawled onto the bed and gathered my legs up over his thighs. I planted my toes and impaled myself on his cock.
    Alec rocked forward and touched my cheek. The reverence in his move stunned me. Like he treasured me. I wanted to look away, to break the sizzling connection, but I didn't.
    "So beautiful." The words came out whispered, but I heard them. He thrust forward and planted a kiss on my lips.
    Heat and something else swirled in my belly. Something deeper than lust and more powerful than sheer desire. Being with Alec felt right. I palmed my cock and wriggled on Alec's lap. One brow bobbed as he smiled, then kissed me again. He sat up and wrapped his fingers around mine on my cock. The thrusts increased. His eyelids drooped and his grip on my dick got harder, rougher. I slammed my hips into his, taking him as deep as I could into my ass.
    My legs trembled and the tingles in my belly increased. My balls tightened. Hell, I'd go off like a rocket in a moment. I hoped he didn't want me to wait for him.
    Alec's movements turned frantic and he slammed hard into my ass. "Fuck. Come for me, Carson. Jesus." He braced himself on one arm and slumped over me. At the same time, I spurted seed all over his chest. When he collapsed on me, the sticky mess went all over the both of us. Alec pulled out and rolled onto his side long enough to chuck the condom. He grabbed a shirt from the floor and wiped the cum off my chest, then his own. The shirt sailed through the air and landed somewhere on the floor at the foot of the bed.
    "Stay with me a while." Alec snuggled against my side and wrapped an arm across my stomach. "I like to cuddle after sex."
    Dazed, I stared at the ceiling and curled my arm around his shoulder. I'd had sex plenty of times in my life. A couple of times with girls. Mostly with guys. Some of the people I cared deeply about. Some not as much. Alec didn't feel like a one night stand. Or even a one week fling. Despite the joy of orgasm and the warmth of a sexy man on my chest, something else added into the equation. Fear. Things were good, albeit new with Alec. What if I wasn't enough for him? What if the past came back and kicked me in the balls again?
    I closed my eyes to blot out the heavy thoughts. I'd worry about it later—when Alec wasn't snoring on my shoulder. Later.

    The bed shifted and I flopped onto my stomach. I cracked my eyes open and jerked. Tan walls. Huge mirror on one wall. Dark wood bureau. Smell of musk. It took me a moment to figure out where the hell I was. Alec's bedroom after mind numbing sex.
    Like we'd shared a bed for ten years time, Alec dragged his knuckles over my cheek. "Good morning handsome. I'm going to take care of the dog." He kissed me on the nose, then clapped his hands. "Dragon? You hungry?" He got up from the bed and stretched. "You want a sandwich or something, Carson? I can feed you both."
    I stared at the ceiling for another moment, then sat up and scrubbed both hands over my face. I needed to get dressed. Needed to regain my composure. The guy I'd quietly lusted after back in school had me in his bed. Not a place I'd expected to be. I liked it and liked him. Apparently he'd lusted after me just as much back then. Who knew? I just wasn't sure how the hell we'd got from barely getting to know each other all over again, to horizontal in a matter of moments.
    I stepped into my briefs and found my socks. I strolled out of the bedroom, feigning confidence and found Alec in the kitchen. Clad in nothing but a pair of boxer briefs, he was in the process of opening a bag of dog food with my dog sitting happily at his feet. Had Alec not been a vet, I might have wondered why the guy had dog food in his house. Then again, did he really bring that much of his work home? "Did you have a dog?"
    "Confession?" Alec dumped a cup of kibble into what looked like a plastic cereal bowl and placed it on the floor. Then he filled a stainless steel bowl with water. "When Dragon came in, I kind of hoped he wouldn't have an owner. He's funny and cute and I wanted to
