Chapter 23

“Come here,” Alex ordered his voice low and compelling.

Manuel could not resist the command even if he’d wanted to. He came around the foot of the bed, stopping when he was less than an arm’s length from the other man. His head and his heart might not yet be sure, but his cock had no doubts. It stood out at a steep angle, almost touching his belly when it twitched with each heartbeat. His gaze skidded down to Alex’s prick. It, too, extended, poker-stiff.

We’ve flown together, fled together, worked together. This is going to be all right. I don’t…I won’t be scared. Alex knows what he’s doing and he’ll lead me, take care of me.

Manuel took the final half-step that put him chest to chest with the taller man. His heartbeat sped up and he couldn’t get enough air into his lungs. Blindly he reached out, finding Alex’s upper arms and locking his hands on them.
