STORY EXCERPT

“Honey, sit down,” a soft male voice said. A sweet-sounding chuckled followed his words and a sharp yelp of a dog. “Oh my sweet girl you need to stay in the pen. If you want to get adopted and find a loving family you need to stay put.”

A warm sensation rolled to life inside Colt’s stomach. His palms began to sweat and he found himself eager to see who that voice belonged to. Colt stepped around the corner, keeping his body half hidden from the other man in the room.

“Honey, sit.” The man was knelt down in front of the puppy. “Don’t give me those sad eyes.”

Colt couldn't tear his gaze away from the younger man. The overhead light reflected off his blond hair creating a halo-type effect. Lightly tanned skin glowed and a slight rosy blush shaded his cheekbones. Colt leaned his body into the frame of the door and watched. The man had a slim build and his shaggy hair hung in his eyes. He looked so innocent as he carried on a conversation with the cute little pup in front of him. It was almost as if the man was talking and understanding the dog. Colt thought it was odd but he wasn’t a pet person.

The dog lowered to its belly and covered its eyes with its paws. Colt actually thought that was adorable.

“No, honey.” The man got down and kissed the puppy on the nose. “Being cute will not get me to allow you to follow me around all day.”

“It’s not so hard to see why he’d want to follow you around,” Colt said as he let his gaze roam over the man’s thin body. He was in a pair of khaki shorts and a bright royal-blue polo shirt.

“Oh my gosh!” The man jumped at the sound of his voice. The puppy let out a sharp yelp and scurried over to get into the man’s lap. “I didn’t see you standing there.”

“I didn’t think so.” Colt gave his best smile as he walked toward the man. He squatted down in front of him and the little pup. “Didn’t mean to scare you.” Colt held his hand out for the puppy to sniff. “My name’s Colt, by the way.” He held out his other hand toward the young man.

“Dax.” The flush on the man’s cheeks intensified and when their hands touched a little jolt shot up Colt’s arm and by the way Dax’s hand tightened on his, he felt it, too.

“Well, it’s nice to meet you, Dax.” Colt wiggled his fingers under the dog’s chin. “And what’s this little cutie’s name?”

“Honey,” Dax said in a soft voice.

“I like the name.” Colt held his hands out to the puppy. The pup looked back at Dax and Dax nodded his head. The puppy jumped into Colt’s hands. He brought the dog up close to his face and the pup licked at his nose. Colt held the dog back for a split second. “You’re a pretty girl, aren’t you?”

The dog was mainly covered in black fur with a combination of light and dark brown fur in spots over her body. A honey-colored brown shaded in around her eyes and muzzle. Her short stubby legs had a mixture of black, white, and brown that fanned out over her plump little belly.

“That she is.” Dax smiled down at the dog. He raised his hand to pet her but dropped it back to his side. His eyes locked on Colt’s then he quickly turned away. “Are you looking to adopt a puppy?”

“I was thinking about it, yes.” Colt hoisted the pup up closer to his neck. He moved to sit flat on his butt and crossed his legs. He sat the puppy down and used his big hands to play wrestle with the little thing. He shoved her over on to his side and rubbed at her belly. The puppy barked happy sounds and gently nipped at Colt’s thick fingers. “She’s feisty.”

“Just a little bit.” Dax scooted in closer to pet the dog now that she was no longer in Colt’s arms. “Who’s a pretty girl?” Dax cooed to the dog and it barked.

“Looks like you’ve grown attached to Honey here.”

“I think I have.” Dax looked up, smiling at Colt. “It’s not hard, she is adorable, after all. Come here, Honey.” Dax patted his hands on his legs and the dog ran over to him.

“Have you worked here long?” Colt asked just to make small talk.

“Uh—no, actually.” Dax shook his head. “Today’s my first day, isn’t that right, Honey?” Dax brought the dog up to give her a kiss then sat her back down. “I was in the park yesterday when this little one came running at me. I heard the other barking pups and figured this was where she escaped from. When I brought her back, Sara, she owns this place, offered me a job.”

“Damn, in just one day you’ve got this little girl following you around?” Colt blew out a deep breath. “I think you ought to take her home. She looks likes she’d be loyal, too.”

“I’d love to but I’m staying with friends and it wouldn’t be right to bring home a puppy. They make messes and are a lot of work.” Honey rolled to her back, then tripped over her legs as he ran back to Colt. She snuggled into his hard stomach. “But it looks like she might be loyal to you, too, Colt.” Dax points down at the dog. “I think she likes you.”

“Well that’s not hard to believe.” Colt made a clicking noise with his tongue. “I am pretty irresistible.”

“Oh boy.” Dax rolled his eyes and laughed. “Honey thinks a lot of herself as well so I think you two might be a perfect match.”

“Hey!” Colt picked up Honey, clutching her close to his chest. “You don’t think we are absolutely irresistible?” Colt smiled real slow, flicking his tongue out to to wet his lips. Dax’s eyes dropped to stare at Colt’s mouth and his eyes dilated.

“Oh, hey, there you are.” Colt let out an internal groan as Tenny waltzed into the room. “Dax, you work here?”

ADULT EXCERPT

Colt couldn’t get enough. He stabbed his tongue at Dax’s tight opening over and over again until finally it gave way and Colt could get the tip of his tongue into Dax’s tight hot channel. The sweet, musky scent of Dax’s body filled Colt’s nose and he growled against the soft flesh.

“You taste so fucking good, baby.” Colt ran his tongue up and down the length of Dax’s crack then spat at the small bud. Using one finger, Colt slowly pushed at the tight barrier. He felt as Dax’s body went tense then slowly relaxed once Colt had his finger all the way inside. “You feel that, Dax?” Colt asked as he pulled his finger in and out of his tight hole. “I’m inside you. God you’re so tight and hot.” Colt’s breathing sped up and his chest rose and fell hard with each intake of oxygen.

Dax raised his arms above his head and grabbed at the blanket beneath him. His body was covered in a fine sheen of sweat and his thick, hard prick twitched against his stomach with every inward thrust of Colt’s finger. In all of Colt’s years of having sex he had never seen a more delectable sight. It was as if Dax felt things with his entire being. Every small touch, every kiss, Colt could see that Dax hungered for more. Dax’s body responded so acutely to Colt’s and it made that warm gushing sensation filling his gut explode until all Colt could think about was fucking Dax. He wanted, no, he needed to be the first and only one to ever know what it was like deep inside Dax’s body.

What the hell am I thinking? Colt’s body froze as his mind started to have a silent tug of war inside his head. This was all getting too serious but Colt couldn’t stop. All the reasons he should put an end to this right here and now just weren’t enough. Colt wanted Dax so badly it hurt.

Dax’s whimpering and quivering body pulled Colt out of his silent musing of what was right and wrong. If being with Dax was wrong Colt would deal with that later, but right now everything felt so perfect and right. They both needed this.

Colt bent back down and licked around his finger, then added another. Dax’s muscled clenched down tight but Colt continued his inward push with his fingers until he found that secret little nub inside Dax. Colt massaged his fingertips over Dax’s prostate and Dax’s let out a loud deep growl that sent the birds in the nearby trees to flight.

“Colt.” Dax grunted, his eyes clenched tight, hands fisted by his head. Colt let his gaze roam down the pale flesh of Dax’s body, his pink, round nipples hard and his cock red and thick, filled with his unspent desire. “Colt, I need—” Dax thrashed around on the blanket as Colt added another finger, scissoring them in and out of the tight opening.

“What do you need, baby? I’ll give you anything you want.” Colt scooted closer and leaned down to kiss Dax’s lips. He could taste the faint traces of blood from where Dax had bitten his lip. “Just tell me,” Colt whispered as he kissed along Dax’s jaw.

“You.” Dax’s hands came up to grab onto either side of Colt’s head. “I need you, Colt.”

Colt stared down into Dax’s light blue eyes and in that moment there was so much he wanted to say but couldn’t. Colt pulled his fingers free of Dax’s body and went to work on his jeans and pushed them down his thighs. Having sex wasn’t something he had anticipated when Colt invited Dax out for dinner. He wanted things to go slow and he wasn’t properly prepared but he’d go slow, give Dax time to get used to him.

Colt spit into his hand, using that combined with the oozing pre-cum leaking out his tip to lube up his cock. Dax’s pupils were blown wide as he stared up at Colt, his legs spread wide open. Colt held onto the base of his cock and slowly guided it forward.

“Dax, baby, this will hurt at first.” Colt positioned his body over Dax’s, their sweat-soaked bodies sticking to one another. “I need you to relax and breathe, okay?”

“Okay.” Dax nodded his head, his eyes still wide open.

Colt ran the wet tip over the small opening. Dax’s eyes rolled up into his head and his breath whooshed out of him. Colt thrust his hips forward, guiding the swollen cap at the center of Dax’s tight bud. Colt moved slowly, pressing against Dax’s resistance until the head popped inside. Tight hot heat engulfed Colt. Dax’s grip was so tight it was as if Colt’s dick was being strangled but in a very good way.

“Ouch, Colt!” Dax’s fingers scratched at Colt’s back. Sharp claws dug into his skin.

“It’s okay, baby.” Colt lifted his hand to comb Dax’s floppy blond hair out of his eyes then leaned down to rest his forehead against Dax’s. “I’m here. There’s no rush. If you want to stop we can.” Colt lifted up just enough to look into Dax’s eyes. So many emotions seemed to filter over Dax’s eyes, pain, happiness, fear, and hope.

“No,” Dax whispered. “I want this.” Dax took a deep breath then wrapped his legs around Colt’s hips. “I want you.”

“I want you, too.” Colt went in deep, pushing his tongue deep down Dax’s throat as he pressed forward with his cock. He swallowed down Dax’s cries and held still once he buried his entire length into Dax’s scorching channel.

Colt held perfectly still, giving Dax time to get use to his thick, long cock. Ever so slowly he felt as Dax’s body relaxed around the invasion and Colt pulled out slowly then pushed back in. He never once tore his eyes from Dax’s.
