What the fuck was wrong with him? Just the sound of Nick\u2019s low, sleepy voice sparked another surge of heat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStill trying to convince yourself that you\u2019re straight?\u201d Nick asked, sounding more awake.<\/p>\n<p>Felix frowned, head turning towards Nick. \u201cWhat the hell are you talking about?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nick sighed, pushing the covers down to his waist. \u201cI\u2019ve seen you looking at me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Felix sat up and swung his legs over the side of the bed. \u201cI\u2019m going out to walk the perimeter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before he could stand up, Nick\u2019s hand landed on his shoulder. \u201cNo, you\u2019re not.\u201d His voice was low and soft. Unthreatening.<\/p>\n<p>Felix\u2019s muscles tightened anyway. Nick\u2019s hand was warm and heavy. His training told him that he could grab Nick\u2019s wrist and break his elbow, or twist him around and rip out his throat, but the strange tension flaring through his body wouldn\u2019t let him move. \u201cYou don\u2019t want to do this, Nick,\u201d he said, gritting his teeth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo what?\u201d Nick pulled him back down to the mattress. \u201cTouch you? Make you feel good?\u201d He pressed Felix\u2019s wrists down, hard.<\/p>\n<p>Felix flexed his biceps. In the dark, Nick was a dark shape looming over him. Instead of fear, or anger, Felix\u2019s emotions jumped wildly from arousal to confusion. \u201cI could break your neck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat knowledge just makes it sweeter,\u201d Nick murmured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMakes what sweeter?\u201d Felix asked, voice raspy. He couldn\u2019t seem to breathe right. Is this a panic attack? he asked himself. He\u2019d never experienced anything like this. His entire life had been a systematic observation of facts and rational decisions. Nothing much bothered him\u2014not killing, not violence, not sex. Boredom was a problem, but he certainly wasn\u2019t fucking bored at the moment. <i>I\u2019m screwed<\/i>, he thought, still not throwing Nick\u2019s ass to the floor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis,\u201d Nick said, leaning down and kissing the side of Felix\u2019s jaw. \u201cJesus, you smell good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Felix flexed his arms, pushing up against Nick. \u201cStop. You know I\u2019m straight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake me.\u201d Nick moved his lips down Felix\u2019s shoulder and pressed his lips to the crook of his elbow.<\/p>\n<p>Felix froze. He couldn\u2019t breathe. Couldn\u2019t think.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re not straight, and you don\u2019t want me to stop, Felix,\u201d Nick said, and then he bit the soft skin of his arm.<\/p>\n<p>Felix groaned. Just that one sharp touch brought him right to the edge. \u201cFuck.\u201d His hips strained upwards as his balls drew into his body. His cock hurt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, no fucking yet. Tonight, I\u2019m going to blow you.\u201d Nick shoved down Felix\u2019s sweatpants and took his cock in his hand. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to suck you off. I bet you\u2019ll try and keep quiet. I bet I can make you come so hard you won\u2019t know where you are anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJesus Christ.\u201d Felix gripped the sheets. He\u2019d never wanted a mouth on his dick so bad before. Nick\u2019s voice had him shaking. \u201cWhat the hell are you doing to me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nick chuckled. \u201cI\u2019m not doing anything yet.\u201d He leaned in and blew along Felix\u2019s erection. \u201cThis isn\u2019t just about me, straight boy. This is about you. You\u2019ve suppressed your sexuality for so long that you don\u2019t have a damn clue about what you like and don\u2019t like. You\u2019ve been fucking the wrong gender your whole life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cScrew you. I\u2019ve been straight for decades. I\u2019ve fucked plenty of women,\u201d Felix ground out, not wanting to admit how hot Nick\u2019s touch made him. <i>You\u2019re going to eat your words<\/i>, a small voice in the back of his head told him.<\/p>\n<p>Nick slid his thumb over the top of Felix\u2019s erection and rubbed the pre-cum welling from the tip in a tight circle. \u201cAnd every one of those women left you empty. Missing something. I bet you haven\u2019t even bothered to pick someone up for the past few years. You haven\u2019t hooked up with anyone lately, have you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Felix shuddered, but didn\u2019t reply. Nick was right. He hadn\u2019t even attempted to get laid recently. Why bother? The women always wanted more from him than he was willing to give, and the rote mechanics of sex bored him lately. \u201cJust get on with it,\u201d he grated out, not in the mood for a psychoanalytical mind-fuck at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Nick laughed. \u201cOh no, my friend. My blowjobs are works of art. I am going to go slow, and I am going to drive you out of your fucking mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erotic Romance, Gay Romance, May\/Dec, Lawless, Suspense Word Count: 44,900 Heat Level\u00a04 Published By:\u00a0Evernight Publishing ISBN: 9781773394954 ASIN: B077TZDBF4 pages: 127 Buy links: Evernight \u2013 Amazon \u2013 BookStrand \u2013 Smashwords\u00a0\u2013 Kobo\u00a0 Contract killer Felix Zamaro isn\u2019t looking for love\u2014at his age, all he wants to do is retire.
