Gateway to Love

When he swept in, tasting him, Mitch’s knees felt week. Craig slid his arms up and down Mitch’s back, and Mitch pressed his body closer, eager to feel him. He wrapped his arms around Craig’s waist and began to touch too.


The kiss grew in intensity, and Mitch moaned again when Craig’s hard cock pressed against him. He loved knowing Craig was just as turned on as he was. His hormones were raging out of control and he felt like a goddamn teenager.


They jumped apart, and Mitch laughed nervously.


“Yeah?” Craig called down, his voice rough with passion.


“Yes. For another hour or so.” Craig’s eyes were on Mitch.


“There’s nothing here to eat. Want to run with me to get some things?”


“Be down in a sec,” Craig hollered as he moved to stand in front of Mitch and tilted his chin so they were looking at each other. “I like this look on you. You’re all flushed and your lips are wet and you look so fucking hot, Mitchell.”
