Mitch

“Commando. Nice.” Mitch licked his lips in appreciation of the specimen Calix presented. Tall, dark, and handsome for sure, but with so much more. His gorgeous gray eyes which flared with desire. The tension in his jaw. The jutting of his large shaft with a bead of moisture pooling at the slit. Mitch had never seen a sexier sight in his life.


“I could say the same for you.” Calix closed the distance between them. Reaching out, he jerked the towel off Mitch, wrapped his hand around Mitch’s nape, and tugged him in for another steamy kiss.


Mitch lost himself in the heated exchange. His skin brushing against Calix’s added to the unquenchable need. He pressed closer, tilted his head, and nipped at Calix’s lips.


Calix growled, a sound so sexy in its sheer hunger and command.


Mitch’s cock jumped and began to throb. He needed more than kisses and now. “Take me.” He uttered the words against Calix’s lips.
