For One Night Only
K. Sterling - 2016
Lex Harrison knows he met the man of his dreams but is devastated when he wakes up alone in a hotel room. “Look, I had a really great time with you but I wasn’t looking for more than one night,” he admitted and Lex felt a little gross. “No, you wouldn’t want your wife to find out,” he accused and Truman’s face twisted. “I’m not married and it’s not like that,” he said and Lex ignored the swell of relief he felt as he stared at Truman. Whatever. He’s still a creep and not worth your time. “Wonderful. Feel free to forget the whole thing happened,” he said and Truman snorted. “I’m sure that won’t be a problem for you. Just pretend I’m another groupie or desperate fan you hooked up with,” he said and Lex laughed in disbelief. “You don’t know a thing about me!” He said and Truman gave him a bored look as he waited. Lex pushed away from the desk and halted Truman before he could pace down the aisle. “I don’t think I could count on one hand how many times I’ve hooked up with guys I wasn’t actually dating,” he said and Truman shrugged. “You’re a rock star with morals or a romantic. That’s kind of surprising but that doesn’t make this any less messed up,” he said and Lex couldn’t tear his eyes away from Truman’s lips or stop smelling him. His body felt like it was being pulled closer to Truman’s and his hands reached for his face on their own. Truman’s eyelids fell and a soft moan slipped from his throat as his head tilted. Their lips brushed and they were still as time stopped. Truman’s chest pressed against Lex’s as he pulled in a shaking breath then they both gasped as their lips collided. Their teeth crashed as their tongues dueled and Lex’s hands gripped at Truman’s shoulders and neck and swept through his hair as he greedily tried to pull him closer. Truman’s hands fisted in the back of his shirt and locked around his ass and Lex groaned as his hard-on pressed against Truman’s. Lex licked and sucked, desperate for the soft, minty warmth of Truman’s lips and tongue as they clawed and ground against each other. “Oh, God! Stop!” Truman rasped as he pulled his head back. His eyes were large and panicked as his chest heaved. “I can’t do this to Violet,” he whispered and he held onto Lex’s shoulders as he stepped back.
