Landon couldn’t have been more wrong, and Robert had to tell him. Landon pressed a thumb to his lips, stopping him from speaking. “I love you. I know I’ll love you until the day I…no, even longer than that. I’ll love you forever. I want this to be everything you want it to be. I’ll follow where you lead, but I’m being careful…” Landon shifted nervously against him, sighing deeply before continuing. “If it doesn’t work out, it’ll end in heartache for both of us. At least for me it will. If we were smart, we’d cut and run now before this gets too far out of our control.”
Robert didn’t want to cut and run. He pushed through Landon’s hold, crushing the man to him as he took his mouth in a claiming kiss. He was never leaving Landon, and by God, he’d never let Landon leave him. In a dance of tongue and teeth, he devoured Landon, taking every nip and suck into his soul. Slowly Landon relaxed, becoming pliant in his arms.
Seconds later, Robert yanked his mouth free. He needed air. Landon’s lips found his neck as his lover’s hands tugged at his polo. “I want you.”
“I want you too. Make love to me out here under the trees and the stars with the waves crashing against the rocks. I’ve dreamed of us that way.” Robert brought a hand to Landon’s chest, holding Landon in place as he started for the blanket and basket he had secretly hidden the supplies in. “I brought condoms and lube.”
“You thought of everything.” Landon smirked and manhandled him back into a kiss, continuing to tug at his clothes. “I just want you naked right now.” When Landon’s hard dick pressed into his, Robert abandoned his plans of grabbing the supplies and just kissed Landon back with everything he had. He licked across Landon’s lips before deepening the kiss. He held Landon pinned against the trunk of their tree, the tree that held their initials for all eternity.
Landon broke the kiss and nibbled a path along his jaw. “I’ll bottom,” Landon growled in his ear as he cupped Robert’s cock through his shorts and massaged, making Robert grind his hips from the pleasure. Landon was such a tease. Robert wanted inside Landon so badly he couldn’t think as it was. “And you use that sexy voice to ear fuck me with all those love words.” Oh, if Landon didn’t stop talking like that and playing with his dick, he was going to come right there before they ever got started.
“Okay,” Robert panted. His brain cells scrambled. At this point, he’d be just as willing to drop to his knees and suck Landon off right here. The hand on his crotch slowed, the pending orgasm eased, and Robert opened his eyes to a grinning Landon.
“You agreed.”
“That I did,” he said and nipped Landon’s ear.
Robert’s love had come through in every touch, every kiss, every soul searing glance. In the way he’d carefully placed the basket within reach, then spread the blanket in the perfect spot beneath their tree. They’d managed to kick off their shoes before tumbling to the blanket to make out. It would always be their tree. A hundred-year-old oak with massive branches that now had their initials carved deeply into its bark, the intimate gesture meant to solidify their commitment. Landon still hadn’t come back down from the thrill of it all, and he didn’t want to.
The sinking sun in the western sky colored the evening with brilliant shades of reds, purples, and golds. But that perfection couldn’t compare to the man he held in his arms. This moment would be etched forever in his memory. The beauty surrounding him. The look in his lover’s eyes. Everything he’d been afraid of had been chased away with the sincerity in Robert’s gaze. He should know, he’d drowned in their depths.
He lost himself in the feel of Robert’s hands as they moved over his body, almost reverently. Robert undid his shorts between hurried kisses. Waves crashed against the rocky cliff, and the wind rustled the leaves above them, urging on his frantic need.
Robert’s tongue slid across Landon’s lips then slowly dipped inside when he opened for more. Robert mapped Landon’s chest and stomach, and that wicked tongue danced over his in a sweet and tender exploration. The wind kicked up, sending a salty gust of water-cooled air ruffling Robert’s blond hair. Landon ran his fingers through the silky strands and tilted his head to draw a breath of fresh air into his lungs.
“Want you.” Robert latched on to his neck and…fuck. Robert was so damn intense, and sexy as hell. Those lips moved over his jaw, and he stole them back for his at the first opportunity, letting Robert seduce him with hungry kisses. Landon searched for the button on Robert’s shorts in a panic to rid him of the clothing. His moves were clumsy and awkward, frantic to feel Robert’s naked skin on his.
“Babe…”
“Let me.” Landon almost protested when Robert gripped his wrist to release his hold and wiggled out of the khaki-colored material then flashed that sexy ass smile that had Landon almost coming. “You’re killing me here.”
“Just trying to help you out. The quicker I get out of my clothes”—Robert pulled the shirt over his head and tossed it to the side—“the quicker I can get you out of yours.” Those big blue eyes twinkled with mischief. The moment so endearing and sweet it sent a rush of emotions through his veins and wrapped his heart in a blanket of happiness.
Robert was romancing him, and he was falling…had fallen.
Head.
Over.
Heels.
Landon finished pushing his own shorts and underwear down. His hard cock slapped against his belly as he kicked out of them and he ripped his shirt
