Playing the Field: Faceoff

A gentle hand touched his chin,turning his face toward Ronnie’s.Christian found his teammate’s eyes shut,lips parted.The arm on Christian’s shoulder held him in place as Ronnie leaned in,closer.His nose brushed over Christian’s,an Eskimo kiss.Then his mouth touched Christian’s lips,soft,alcoholic.


Christian’s hands rose between them,smoothing over Ronnie’schest before grasping at his T-shirt and tugging him closer.Heopened his mouth for their next kiss,and Ronnie’s tongue slipped into him.He dipped inside,testing Christian,tastinghim,licking away the tiny moans he elicited from his teammate.One knee eased between Christian’s legs and bent,rising,to press against the budding erection in the front of Christian’s jeans.Another,louder moan escaped him at that touch.
