Knox snorted and pulled Liv down on top of him, which was in itself such a hot move Liv could just about combust. Whenever they were fighting, or even play-wrestling, the aim was always to push away, to fight the other off. Liv had no idea how much he craved Knox’s acceptance, to be pulled in, cuddled, and wanted.
“You think? I’m pretty sure there’s lots of problems ahead of us.”
“Nothing we can’t deal with. Our faces didn’t really go beyond local news a whole lot of country away, and everything else? We can handle it. I think there will be lots of benefits from this new thing,” Liv rasped, rolling his hips against Knox as he took in the beautifully sculpted body under him. The scars left behind by many fights Knox had always thrown himself into were like beauty marks.
“And you… you’re okay with this? Being with a guy?” Knox whispered, sliding his fingers down Liv’s arms, his eyes full of amazement.
He would usually not show so much adoration for Liv and play off being impressed with dumb jokes. Liv could definitely enjoy this new reality where he was the center of Knox’s interests and own his attention without sharing it with the likes of Amanda.
“With you? Oh yeah. Just think about it, Knoxie, it’s perfect,” Liv said, diving in so their noses could touch. “No condoms. No baby risk. And no other people always interfering and creating drama. Just us,” he added, taking a deeper breath when Knox’s cock bobbed against his stomach.
Knox slid his arms around Liv’s neck, looking so cute when drunk. His eyes had that blurry sheen, and his cheeks were flushed red. “That does sound perfect.”
Knox pulled him down for a kiss that sparked a fire going all the way down to Liv’s dick. Even his voice turned Liv on when they were in bed like this. Now that he saw Knox as not only a friend but also someone he could fuck around with, everything turned on its head. And yet it couldn’t have felt more comfortable.
It was always supposed to be the two of them, facing the world shoulder to shoulder. Maybe destiny had gotten impatient with them and pushed them together?
Knox pulled away and frowned. “Did you just call me ‘Knoxie’?”
Liv cocked his head, pulling one of Knox’s legs up, to hook it over his hip as he pressed against him. Euphoria echoed through his bones. “You called me Livvy first.”
“Did I?” Knox’s frown deepened, but he wrapped his other leg around Liv without prompting. “Fuck, I think I did.” He hid his face with his hand as if he were shy about it when they were literally naked.
A-fucking-dorable.
And so warm, strong, built for feats not everyone could accomplish.
He was so damn beautiful Liv couldn’t help himself and kissed his breastbone, briefly listening to Knox’s heartbeat. While fast, it didn’t sound erratic in a way that was uncomfortably familiar. He kissed the soap-scented skin, then followed a wild trail up the slope of Knox’s throat, exploring it with growing curiosity.
This would have never occurred if it hadn’t been for Vladdy’s premature death, but while Knox had never been on his radar, not in this way, Liv already felt at home in his arms.
“Why? Were you about to lash out at me and tell me not to call you cute names, or something?”
“It’s… new. I’m more used to the pet names being ‘dick’ or ‘shithead’. But I can live with Knoxie,” he said, stroking Liv’s hair with one hand as he dove between their bodies with the other.
Liv’s mind blurred with arousal when Knox’s fingers danced around his cock tentatively. As if Liv wasn’t eager and willing to be here. With him.
He used to think… right, he just never thought about men this way. There were plenty of women to go around, and since Liv had a bit of a weakness for ladies of the more mature variety, many of his past conquests weren’t skittish does. Surrounded by men who didn’t let their hard masks slip, he’d never really been… invited close by any guy, so his sexual interests were both satiated and never challenged. But if they had been?
Seeing Knox arch under him, features slack and glinting with stubble, made Liv wonder if he’d have taken that step with any other man. But what was the point of overthinking simple things when Knox was right here, rubbing his cock, watching him as if Liv were made out of gold.
“Go on. I can be your new favorite toy,” Liv teased and pushed himself farther on top, which brought his dick into Knox’s loose grip.
Ah, the skin on his hands was so rough.
Knox could be careless about wearing gloves at work, but Liv wasn’t complaining when those fingers wrapped around Liv’s dick with more confidence. He let out a happy groan and kissed the side of Liv’s head.
