"You want consent?" Talin asked against my mouth, his voice deep and rough. "You have it. Always. Don't fucking stop to ask again."

"Oh, yeah," I groaned, popping the button free.

"Fuck," he gasped as his pants released, but then he grabbed for the front of mine.

His hand started at my balls, pressing just hard enough to feel fucking good, but he didn't stop until he got the front open. I was pretty sure I'd just lost a button in the process, and didn't even care. I was too torn between wanting him naked and needing to feel his hand on me without anything between us.

This time, I was the one cursing. "Shit," I breathed, realizing I had to get rid of my boots, but I didn't want to let him go, so I kissed him again while I shoved his pants below his ass. "Naked," I ordered.

Somehow, we managed not to bump into each other when we both frantically bent to get our shoes off and our legs out of our pants. I kicked mine to the side, hooked my thumb in my socks, and was just fast enough to stand back up as he did. Grabbing his face with both of my hands, I pulled us onto his bed, kissing him the whole way down.

We landed on our sides, neither of us gaining control - nor willing to stop. Hooking my leg behind his ass, I used that to pull his body close, and he understood. Bare flesh against bare flesh, his hardness slid beside mine until his ring pressed into my shaft. He felt it and sucked in a breath, jerking back.

"Shit, sorry."

Time paused as his cold eyes found mine. Lust raged in them, but also a hint of something else. Fear, if I had to name it, possibly concern. It was enough to keep me from grabbing at him again.

"It doesn't hurt," I promised. "Just metal."

"Not sharp?"

I shook my head. "No, and it's warm. No different than a ring on a hand. Actually feels kinda good."

His eyes jumped between mine, searching for some hint of a lie. "Eladehl, what are we doing?"

"If I had to guess?" I used my leg to encourage him closer one more time. "Working on getting off."

"No." He leaned into me, allowing our skin to touch from chest to thighs, but he didn't grind. "I've only ever been with Nari."

"Me too." And I had to look away. His eyes were just too intense. "I kinda want to try it."

"Bottom or top?" he asked, the words oddly tender. His hand sliding across my bicep only added to it.

This was the moment I feared. "How can I answer that, Talin? I know you're not into weak men, and I promise I'm not one."

His hand closed on my arm, the pressure forcing me to look at him. "Stop," he demanded. "I'm asking because I can't decide if I want to fuck you first or have you fuck me. I'm withyou,Eladehl, because I'm hoping this is a little more than just a fuck." And he pressed his dick right against mine. "I have a real weakness for seeing a strong man give in. There's nothingweakabout it. I just don't have a clue if you're into it because you keep everything too fucking close."

His body was pressed right up against mine. Every hard line of his muscles, all the beautiful angles of his face, and those thick, kiss-bruised lips. The man was gorgeous, and everything I'd fantasized about. He also didn't seem nervous at all, so I didn't want him to know I was.

"I've never had sex with a man," I said, hoping it was enough.

Talin wasn't going to make it that easy. "Let me in, Ela." He let go of my bicep to clasp the side of my neck. "Don't you get it? I like you. I want you so fucking bad, and not just your ass. Not just your dick." And he shook me slightly. "I want this man. I am in love with Nari, but you've all made it sound like it doesn't have to end there. Can't Ifeelsomething for you, too?"

"Yes!" I assured him.

"Then you have to give me the chance to be more than a fuck. I'm not your best friend. I'm not your protector. I'm just a guy who thinks you are the sexiest man I've ever laid eyes on. One who happens to think you hide behind your brilliance and beauty, but shouldn't have to. If all you want is to fuck me, just tell me now before I get too attached?"

I pressed my palm to his flat chest, sliding it across the hard muscle. It gave me something to look at. "I want to feel you inside me, and I'm..."

"I won't hurt you," he promised.

"I'm not your bitch," I warned him.

Talin actually chuckled, pulling me against his chest in a tight embrace. "You don't have to be perfect all the time, Ela. Fuck, I'm not. But when you let me see that hint of vulnerability?" His mouth moved beside my ear. "It turns me on. Makes me feel like I've found a man I can relax around. One strong enough to let me do the same." He turned my face up so I could see him. "Because I have a feeling you'd destroy anyone who hurt someone you care about."

Those words let something inside me relax. That hint of fear in his eyes made the next words tumble out. "You don't understand. Ihaveto be perfect."

"Not with me," he promised. "Not when we're alone."
