Darker Than Sin (BoyxBoy) Book 2

Chapter 9

James

''I should make you sleep on the damn couch, Avery!'' My papa groaned, bringing up a tattooed hand to his forehead with a look of disgust on his face. I couldn't help but shield my face from him- my face was hot to touch, and my neck still stung from the kisses Avery gave me.

I was sitting on the sink with my jacket unzipped halfway, my collarbones and neck fully exposed for everyone, especially Avery, to see. Avery stood there with embarrassment written over his face as he tried to come up with something to say- but for once, he was speechless.

''Then kiss me, if you're so confident.''

I was taken aback by his boldness. I couldn't help but scoff at his words as I looked down at my feet to avoid his intrusive gaze- only for him to take a finger under my chin, lifting it up to meet his eyes once more. This was something he always did that drove me crazy, even though I wasn't sure of my feelings then.

''Don't do that.''

''Why not? I want you to look at me, James.''

I met eyes with him at his words. He had a faint smile lingering on his lips as he took his finger from my chin, bringing it to my cheek and running his finger across it. I felt my face flush against his touch as he caressed my face. He started at my cheek, my forehead, then brought his finger to my lips. He let out a sigh that seemed like he was holding in for ages now as he gazed at me with a look I never really saw before- a look that made me feel like I was worth a lot more than I thought.

I felt wanted when he looked at me like that.

''Are you sure this is alright? Do you want me to do something?'' I asked him.

''I'd like you to kiss me as I asked, but that's all.'' He reassured me. I felt like I wasn't doing enough, but... I guess he knew that. He brought his lips to my forehead, beginning to kiss me everywhere on my face. My forehead, my cheeks, my chin... everything but my lips. He really wanted me to do it myself.

I finally gained my courage to bring my lips to his, my hands finding their way on either side of his face. He put one hand on my lower back to pull him closer to him, a gasp of relief escaping his throat as we kissed each other. His mouth was unbelievably warm against my own- almost comforting as I kissed him. All of the anxiousness I had leading up to kissing him escaped my body as he held me close to him- it seemed like he knew I was scared.

But he still pushed me to do it. He knew I wanted to.

The kiss grew heavier as he leaned down, wrapping his hands around my thighs to lift me up in his arms. I couldn't help but pull away from his lips, my eyes widening as he held me up with no problem.

''I'm heavy as fuck, dude. Are you alright?-''

''Shut up.''

He slammed his lips onto my own after the words left his lips, pulling me up higher on his waist only to carry me over to the sink and sit me down. I felt a wave of dizziness wash over me as he pushed himself between my legs, pulling his lips away from my own and bringing them to my neck. A groan escaped my throat as he began at the top of my neck, leaving hot kisses trailing down to my collarbone.

He brought his hand to the zipper of my jacket, unzipping it halfway and pulling it down to expose half my chest and collarbone. I gripped onto the curls on top of his head as he began nibbling on the sensitive skin of my neck, his hands finding their way to my lower back again. I tried my best to hold in the whimpers that were threatening to escape my throat- but as he got lower and lower on my neck, I couldn't stop them from coming out.
