“Troy?” Philip rasped but his mate quietly walked past him to the vanity where he picked up his toothbrush.
With a sigh, Philip shrugged out of his robe and entered the shower. It was hands-down his quickest shower, Philip thought as he got out and toweled himself. Clad in a towel with the upper part of his body sexily on display, Philip went back to the bedroom. He frowned when he didn’t see Troy in the bedroom.
“Troy?” Philip called out as he continued to the living room. “Troy, please…” He gasped when he saw his mate walking towards the door. Philip broke into a run and got to Troy just as he opened the door. “Please don’t go, baby.” Philip rasped as he pushed the door close and wrapped his arms around Troy’s waist from behind.
“I really need to get out of here.” Troy croaked, struggling against Philip but his strength was nowhere near that of the alpha’s.
“I’ll let you go. I just need to talk to you first.” Philip muttered against the back of Troy’s neck.
“I think you’ve already said all that you need to say, Philip.” Troy rasped as he braced his feet against the door and then pushed back with all his strength. His intention was to get his mate to release him. That didn’t happen.
“Oh, shit…” Philip gasped and he landed heavily on his back…with a kicking Troy still in his arms. “Stop it, Troy,” Philip growled. “I’m not letting you go until you hear me out.” He grunted as he rolled them so that his naked body covered Troy’s back. His towel had come off when he landed on his back.
“I don’t want to listen to you,” Troy growled, trying to throw off Philip.
“Well, you kinda don’t have a choice.” Philip breathed, thankful that Troy was at least showing some anger. “And you better stop moving around ’cause all you’re succeeding in doing is making me hard.” He husked. When Troy stopped moving immediately, Philip dropped a kiss on his neck. “Better.” He scattered more tiny kisses on his neck. “I was jealous.” He murmured amidst kisses.
“You were insulting.” Troy snapped.
“Unintentionally.” Philip breathed, flicking out his tongue to lightly trace the shell of Troy’s ear. “Put yourself in my shoes for a moment.”
“I’d rather not.” Troy moaned despite himself. He couldn’t believe he was actually getting hard. He cursed his traitorous body for not knowing when its owner was angry.
“Allow me to help you.” Philip’s husky tone did things to Troy that the alpha didn’t even know. “You were ready to hate Abyna even before you met her due to the mere idea that I’d been with her.” He latched onto Troy’s lobe and sucked.
“Oh, shit…” Troy moaned shakily as he shivered beneath Philip. “That was different.” He whimpered as hunger surged through him.
“You’re right.” Philip moved down to lick along his neck. “That wasn’t as serious as the torture I had to endure thinking my mate was being intimate with someone other than me.”
“You were intimate with her.” Troy squirmed, unconsciously grinding his arse against the hard cock he felt against me.
“Shit, stop fucking moving, Troy.” Philip gasped, thrusting spontaneously against Troy. “I didn’t have a mate then.” He pushed up, rolled Troy onto his back, and covered his body with his again. “I have one now. You have one now. And I hate the thought of my mate…”
“I wasn’t being intimate with anyone.” Troy looked both aroused and exasperated. The combination was so sexy Philip moaned and began to lean in… “It’s all in your head, you ass…” Philip sealed his sexily sculpted mouth over Troy’s in a hard, passionate kiss, cutting off his tirade.
Troy didn’t try to pretend he didn’t want the kiss. He didn’t just want it, he needed it. He couldn’t suppress the erotic sounds of pleasure that erupted from his throat when Philip grasped a fistful of his hair in a show of utter dominance and dipped his tongue into his hungry mouth. He moaned as he opened up and allowed Philip’s tongue to explore his mouth to their mutual pleasure. They thrust fervently against each other as they kissed, both hating the barrier created by Troy’s shorts. Philip broke the kiss and moved his lips to Troy’s neck to suck on his mark even as his hand slipped between them to undo the buttons on his shorts.
“Ahhh…” Troy cried out, going insane with pleasure. “Philip…” He virtually screamed when Philip began to stroke his cock.
“Philip?” Philip heard another voice call out his name and groaned.
‘Go away, Jeremy.’ He told his friend on their mind link.
“Troy called me,” Jeremy responded from behind the door. “I’m coming in, Lip.”
“You called your brother?” Philip raised his head to look down at his moaning mate.
“Huh?” Troy looked confused and unfocused.
“Jeremy is at the door. He says you called him.” Philip resumed stroking his mate.
“That was before…when I was trying to leave,” Troy said breathlessly, thrusting into Philip’s hand. “Tell him to go away.”
“You tell him,” Philip muttered. “He’ll only take your word at this point. He probably thinks I’m…” Philip trailed off when the door opened and a grim-faced Jeremy stepped into the large living room.
“Really?” Jeremy’s eyebrow shot up questioningly.
“You can see he’s fine.” Philip rasped his eyes on his mate’s beautiful face. “You can leave now.”
“Sorry, Jeremy,” Troy muttered a split second before drawing Philip’s head down and capturing his mouth in a spine-tingling kiss.
The two men didn’t even notice when Jeremy stepped out of the room. They were completely engrossed in each other. Troy’s clothes came off quickly amidst hot kisses. Philip forgot to breathe as he drank in the perfect, spectacularly naked body of his mate, sprawled across the plush white rug on the floor of his living room. He sucked in air through his teeth when he remembered to breathe again.
“You’re absolutely beautiful.” Philip breathed. “I’m going to kiss every inch of this body.” He murmured and then proceeded to do exactly that.
The feeling of Philip’s exquisite mouth kissing and licking his skin was absolutely wonderful. Troy let himself go and enjoyed his mate’s attention. His head thrashed from side to side in mindless pleasure as Philip worked on his hardened nipples. It felt so good the swollen reddish tip of his cock dripped profusely. And when he felt Philip’s hot breath over his pulsing cock, he shuddered in anticipation.
