Cowboy Way by Cindy Sutherland Page B

was perfect, and touching it made him feel better than he had felt in his whole life. It was more than that, though, and Jake knew it. His heart was already involved, and the risk was overwhelming. Deep down, Jake knew it was worth it.
    He pulled Ryan into his arms, unable to wait until they reached the bedroom to touch him. One hand slid into damp blond hair while the other slipped around his waist and splayed across the small of his back, brushing fingertips across the swell of that gorgeous ass. Ryan shivered, and it fueled Jakes fire even more. Ryan snaked his arms around Jakes neck and attacked his mouth. While he was doing that, Jake skidded the hand that had been in Ryans hair down his body, still trying to move them toward the bed. He grabbed Ryans leg and pulled it up, trying to wrap it around himself and pull their cocks closer together.
    In his desperation, he pushed Ryan against the wall, sliding both hands down to grab warm flesh. Ryan brought his other leg up and locked it with the first, in the small of Jakes back. Ryans cock was trapped between their bodies, and the feel of it, hot and leaking against his stomach, was making Jake wild. His own cock was pressed against the one place he wanted it to be, and he couldnt take it anymore.
    He pulled away from the wall, carrying Ryan with him. Stumbling the few steps to the bed, he gently lowered Ryan to lie on the blankets below. He pulled back then, to look at the breathtaking sight in front of him. Ryan lay there, arms crossed over his head like they were tied, legs still wrapped loosely around Jake. His cock was hard, arching proudly toward his stomach, begging to be touched. He put his hands on Ryans thighs, slowly stroking upward over his hips, coming to rest on Ryans chest. He played with the sensitive nipples until Ryan was writhing and moaning, the sounds he was making like music to Jakes ears.
    He slid down to take possession of Ryans mouth, running his tongue across the full bottom lip before licking his way inside. His hands slid around to pull Ryans chest flush against his. He couldnt seem to get close enough.
    “God, Ryan, you feel so good.” The words were whispered into a panting mouth before he trailed his lips to Ryans ear, feeling Ryans skin pebble at the air blowing across the sensitive skin. “Youre so soft, so hard, all at the same time.” He couldnt stop tasting and touching. “Need you, fuck, Ryan, need you so bad.”
    Ryans eyes opened and locked with his, and the little seed of worry or sadness was still there. As bad as Jake wanted to make love to Ryan, he couldnt ignore it anymore. He touched his forehead to Ryans, sighing before reaching back and gently unwinding Ryans legs, lying down beside him, and gathering him up in his arms.
    Ryan stiffened, and when Jake caught his eye again, the sadness was bigger. “Im sorry, Jake. Im pushing. I didnt mean to; just let me go and Ill leave.” He was trying to pull out of Jakes arms, but Jake wouldnt let him.
    “Ryan, you arent pushing me. I am right where I want to be. But I need to know what that look in your eye is. I mean, youre looking at me, and I feel more want and desire than I have ever felt in my life.” He pushed the hair out of Ryans eyes and kissed his forehead before pulling back again.
    “What has you sad, Ryan? Did I do something, not do something? I need to know, Ryan, because I think that look is breaking my heart.” Ryans eyes widened at that and then welled up with tears.
    He reached up and touched Jakes face, tracing lines that were quickly becoming familiar. “Its not you, Jake, I promise. I just dont want you to feel like Im trying to make you do something you dont want to.” He was embarrassed that Jake had read him so easily. He thought that, after all this time, he would have been better at hiding it. And controlling himself. But the clear blue eyes looking at him were smiling.
    “Ryan, thats not the first time youve said something like that, like youre
