Love Means No Shame - Andrew Grey

and hard, rubbed against his chest.
    “Yes!” Geoff groaned. That was just what he needed. “Get those pants off if you want them in one piece.” Geoff watched as the belt was opened and Eli’s pants fell to the floor, and then Geoff pushed him back on the bed. He pulled off his lover’s shoes and yanked off his pants before tossing them over his shoulder.
    He watched Eli’s eyes as he crawled on the bed, his hands sliding up his legs and chest. “I dreamed about this for the past two weeks, that you’d come back to me. Every morning when I woke up I wondered where you were, why you weren’t in my bed.” Geoff settled across Eli’s waist, pinning him to the mattress. “Every morning, I was happy for a moment until I remembered you weren’t here.” Geoff took one of Eli’s wrists in each hand, holding them over his head. “I missed you like I’d miss my hand or foot. Without 196

you I was incomplete.” Then he leaned forward, kissing the man splayed out beneath him.
    Eli vibrated against him. “I missed you too. Every time I smelled hay or rode one of the horses, I thought of you. When Len came in the bakery, it took all my willpower not to rush to him.

    When he left, I had to stop myself from yelling for him to take me with him.” Eli’s eyes glistened with tears.
    The tears in Eli’s eyes cooled Geoff’s ardor just enough, and he released his wrists before pulling Eli close, holding his lover tight. “Never going to let you go again. I didn’t fight this time, but I will next time, with everything I have.” Geoff brought their lips together again. This time, the kiss was less bruising, less possessive, and much more loving. His hands slid over Eli’s chest, letting that hot skin slide beneath his palms. His hands remembered the feel of that skin, the contours of Eli’s chest.
    Eli moaned softly into Geoff’s mouth as a hand slid down his stomach and beneath the band of his underwear. Geoff's fingers circled around the hard, silky shaft beneath the fabric. “Geoff,” Eli whined softly as he bucked into his hand. “No one ever touches me like you.” “I sincerely hope not.” Geoff pumped his hand slowly, feeling Eli stiffen even more in his hand.

    Eli smiled into Geoff’s lips. “You know what I mean.” Geoff did know, but he liked hearing it just the same. Moving his fingers, Geoff slid the fabric down Eli’s hips so Eli could work them off. Then he slid his own underwear down, kicking them aside.

    Eli’s body, his erection rubbing against his, felt like coming home.

    This was what he’d missed so much: the closeness, the loving. He could almost feel his heart sighing in relief now that the rest of him had come back.

    Geoff let his lips travel, relearning the scent and taste of his lover: the feel and taste of those perky nipples, the flat belly, the heady musk as he approached Eli’s sex. He slid his tongue down the hard length, swirling around the head as Eli’s special flavor burst in his mouth. He wanted more, needed more. Opening wide, he took Eli deep in one motion.
    “God, Geoff!”
    Geoff smiled as he bobbed his head slowly, sliding his lips around Eli’s length, listening to the steady stream of soft, beautiful music Eli was making. It thrilled him beyond measure that Eli was making those sounds for him. No one else had ever heard Eli make those sounds—only Geoff. Eli’s music was becoming more urgent, and he backed away, letting his lover breathe. “Not yet, Tiger.
    Gonna make you wait.”

    He got a small whine, and then Eli was flipping them on the bed, his Tiger taking what he wanted. Eli’s weight now pressed Geoff against the mattress, but this wasn’t what he wanted, not right now.

    “Sit up, Tiger.”
    Eli shifted, straddling Geoff’s hips. Geoff placed his hands beneath Eli’s butt and lifted, scooting him forward until he sat on his chest. Geoff guided Eli to lie back, pulling his hips forward. Craning his neck up, he licked around Eli’s opening. That music started again almost immediately, and Eli scooted closer. Geoff teased the puckered skin with his fingers while his tongue probed and sucked.
    “Missed this so much. Missed you the entire time,” Eli moaned.

    “I know, Tiger. Gonna make up for lost time.” Eli’s skin puckered and throbbed as he blew on it, moans drifting up from where Eli lay all spread out on top of him. Letting one hand roam, he stroked Eli’s stomach while the other
