DEVILFISH
by Anna Kensing
Instead of stepping
back, he touched Declan’s face again, running the tips of his fingers lightly
over Declan’s beard. “Soft,” he murmured in a low, lazy voice that hooked deep
in Declan’s belly. “I thought so.”
“Elliot,” Declan
started, but Elliot pressed the pad of his index finger against Declan’s lower
lip. “Shh,” he said and dragged his thumb across Declan’s lower lip. He cupped
Declan’s jaw with his hand, then slid it to tangle in Declan’s hair at the back
of his neck. Declan opened his mouth to ask what Elliot was doing but before he
got any words out, Elliot bent his head and put his mouth on Declan’s.
His lips were soft, and
Declan closed his eyes to enjoy the kiss for just a second. Just two seconds,
and he’d push Elliot back and remind him that he didn’t want to be doing this
with Declan. But Elliot’s tongue slipped in between Declan’s lips and lightly
traced the edges of his teeth. Declan let a soft sigh escape and opened a bit
more when Elliot pushed in, sliding his tongue alongside Declan’s. Elliot slid
his other hand from Declan’s shoulder up his neck, tilting Declan’s face to a
better angle, deepening the kiss and sucking Declan’s tongue into his mouth. He
tasted of whiskey, and Declan suddenly felt as drunk as Elliot must be.
Declan lost track of how
long they stood there, kissing. Each time he pulled back, Elliot tightened his
fingers in Declan’s hair and pulled him closer. #
