Commencement

“I think you’re exaggerating about the entire class.” He pressed his mouth against Andrew’s neck, shivering at the taste and pressure of his salty skin. He was moments away from pushing Andrew to his knees. “Everybody else just thinks I’m the jerk who ruins lives.”


Andrew moaned when Levi kissed him again, pulling his hand free in order to start undoing the buttons on his shirt. He chased after his lips when Levi bent to his muscled shoulder this time, and when it became obvious Levi wasn’t done tasting him, buried his face in his scorched skin in order to get a sample for himself.


Andrew’s mouth was as hungry against his neck as it had been on his lips. His hand smoothed over Levi’s chest, his fingers skimming through the rough hair as he sought out Levi’s hard nipple. “I’m glad you waited until last night to make your move. I’m not sure I could have withstood your…enthusiasm for years.”
