Mano held his gaze, but didn’t speak.

“Please… say it again. I need to hear it.”

Mano swallowed. “I want you.”

“Again…” Ody begged, his eyes locked on him.

Mano exhaled, glancing down for a moment before looking back at him. “I want you, Ody,” he repeated, his voice low, steady.

A sharp breath left Ody’s lips. “Fuck.” He grabbed Mano by the back of the neck and pulled him back into his mouth.

Chapter 11

Ody pushed Mano off the wall, forcing him backward into the bedroom. They stumbled inside without breaking the kiss, hands gripping and pulling until Ody fell back onto the bed, dragging Mano down with him.

His hand slid lower, pressing against him through his pants.

Mano pulled back just enough to breathe. “Wait—” he said, but it didn’t sound firm.

“You can’t expect me to just wait after all that,” Ody said, his voice thick with emotion. “You said you want me. You finally admitted it after all this time. You have no idea how desperately I needed to hear you say that, baby.” He gave him a firm squeeze. “Look at you. I barely touch you and you’re already this hard.”

Mano exhaled, his eyes shutting as the feeling settled low in his body.

“Give it to me,” Ody murmured, more insistent now. “Come on… don’t make me ask again. I want to taste you.”

“Stop…” Mano muttered, his voice lower now, rougher. He turned his head, avoiding his gaze. “Don’t talk like that.”

“I’ll suck you off real good, baby. You’ll love it, I promise,” Ody went on, impatient.

But Mano didn’t react. He kept looking away, almost like he didn’t trust himself to look at him.

“What, you’re embarrassed?” Ody teased. “Did it get smaller or something?”

Mano’s head snapped back toward him. “What did you say?”

“I said… Did it get smaller since last time? Or are you just too shy to show me?”

Mano went still. His expression hardened. “When you pulled that stunt in the bathroom, I told you not to play games with me.”

“Oh yeah?” Ody shot back, unfazed. “What are you gonna do?”

Mano moved without warning. He grabbed him by the shoulders and flipped him onto his back, pinning his wrists above his head.

A slow smile spread across Ody’s lips as he looked up at him.

Mano used his free hand to undo his pants, pulling the zipper down along with his trunks, freeing himself right in front of Ody’s face. “Well?” he said, tightening his grip on his wrists. “Is it smaller?”

“I don’t know,” Ody replied with a sideways smirk. “Can’t really see from here.”

“Oh, you can’t see?” Mano leaned in. “Take a closer look.” He guided himself to Ody’s mouth, pressing against his lips until Ody parted them just enough to let him in.

“Better now?” Mano’s voice dropped, his hips starting to move. “Huh, mikre?”

Ody couldn’t form any words.

“Look at me when I’m talking to you.” He gave his cheek a light slap.

Ody met his gaze.
