Love is Always Write Anthology Volume 3

what I want to hear?"
    "I've given up trying to guess what you'll like after I color-coded your inbox folders and you freaked."
    "You used pink, neon-green, and puke-yellow folders, that's why."
    "It was still a better system than -- never mind." Zach shook his head. "I can jerk off any time. Uh, not at work, of course, because I'd never--"
    "Save it, boy," Jack said with a roll of his eyes. "I know you do it on my time, and believe me, if things work out between us three, you won't be doing it again without permission. Which you won't get, so there's no need to ask."
    Zach squirmed, despite Jack's warning still picturing walking in here and saying "Mr. Brandon, sir? Can I take five to beat off in the john because you just bawled me out for a typo and my dick's rock-hard?". Just thinking about being able to talk like that to Jack did the impossible and made his dick harder.
    "Like I said, I can jerk off any time, but if I don't kiss you now, and things don't work out, well, I never will. And I want to." He shot a look at Taylor, including him in the conversation. "If you don't mind."
    He was naked and he'd just watched Taylor get his ass walloped, but somehow asking for a kiss from Jack seemed like something Taylor had to be cool with.
    "I'd like to see it," Taylor said. "Lord knows you've got a sweet mouth on you, sugar." He shifted back, freeing Jack up to move.
    Jack smiled and got to his feet, hauling Zach up with one strong pull, his hand locked around Zach's wrist. Standing felt strange, as if he was yards taller, and his legs were all pins and needles. Jack held onto him until he was steady on his feet, then tilted Zach's chin up with his finger.
    Without a word, he bent his head and took Zach's mouth in a kiss, not a gentle one, but not as forceful as Zach had imagined. Jack didn't need force. At the first touch of Jack's lips, Zach yielded his mouth, submitting to a kiss that claimed him. He could smell Jack under the faint whiff of laundry detergent from Jack's white shirt, a heady male scent heightened by Jack's recent exertions. Jack smelled clean and sweaty. It was a killer combo as far as Zach's senses were concerned.
    He opened his mouth and let Jack taste him, accepting the kiss without trying to guide it. He wanted this to be about pleasing Jack. He got off on the idea so much that it left him whining and trying to keep Jack's mouth on his long after one kiss had turned to more.
    "Enough, boy." Jack sounded amused and the swat Zach's ass got was a playful one, even if it stung. "Taylor's about ready to come without either of us laying a hand on him, and that's just not right."
    "How you can say you didn't lay a hand on me..." Taylor shook his head.
    "You still want to blow him?" Jack asked. "Even if that's all you'll get tonight?"
    "I can't suck you, too?" Zach asked hopefully.
    Taylor gave an indignant huff and Jack smiled. "I think Taylor's called shotgun on that for later, but thanks for the offer. Well?"
    Zach answered by going to his knees in front of the couch.
    "Sit up, Taylor. Make it easier on him. Yeah, I know your butt's tender, but you can handle it."
    Taylor sat on the edge of the couch, moving cautiously. "Shit, forget tender, it's raw."
    "So let the boy take the edge off," Jack suggested. A condom in its wrapper landed on the floor by Zach's knees. "He's clean, we both are, but you shouldn't take our word for it, so use this."
    Zach didn't like the taste of latex, but he wasn't going to disagree with the need for one. He got the condom onto Taylor's dick, getting a good look at it, thick and stiff, smelling clean in an indefinable way, as if Taylor had showered recently, but long enough ago that the scent of soap or gel had worn off.
    Jack took a seat by Taylor, so they were both staring down at him. It'd been years since Zach had given his first blow job and he was confident enough in his abilities not to feel nervous on that account, but there was something about the way Jack was dressed and Taylor was naked that made his brain spin. It was so marked a line, with Taylor and him on one side and Jack on the other. He licked his lips, getting a hint of Jack's taste on them, and dipped his head.
    "Wait a sec," Jack said. "Let's make this more interesting."
    He undid the tie he was wearing and slid it free, holding it up for Zach to look at. "You're looking chilly. Want to wear something, boy?"
    "Oh God." Zach nodded, bobbing his head up and down quickly before Jack changed his mind.
