"Will you give me more?" Kelly whispered

Nick let out his pent-up breath and closed his eyes, shaking his head Soh hi Kelly more would mean ramifications neither of the the state of their friendship, risking it, and for what?

"I’m not under the influence anys orse than you that I’ve never regretted"

Nick barked a laugh, and they both began to chuckle Suddenly the tension was gone again and it was just the Devil Doc in bed with him once more Kelly reached across the space between theers over Nick’s knuckles A scar on the back of Nick’s hand still displayed the tiny railroad tracks where Kelly had stitched a gash in the field He ran his fingers across it There were half a dozen other places on Nick’s body that he’d stitched up over the years Nick knew his hands well He’d never seen theh, not until the ers had clutched at his shirt and pulled him closer as they’d kissed

"Do you want to?" Kelly asked

"Yes, but" Nick splayed his fingers, and Kelly’s twined with the and Nick slid across the inches between theain it stole Nick’s breath fros, sped his heart until his ears buzzed, flushed his body with ice and fire Kelly pulled his hand loose and grabbed Nick’s elbow, pulling at it until he was able to get his hand under the sleeve and against Nick’s skin

"How’s this work?" Kelly gasped His lips roaned

"It doesn’t work at all You can’t even roll over by yourself"

He reached around Kelly and pushed at the pillows he’d been so careful to arrange, then he wrapped his arainst him They’d shared a bed hundreds of ti Kelly so spoon Maybe they could keep this within the real you can’t handle that?" Kelly needled, grinning

Nick could see that grin in the rin a thousand tih, he wanted to wipe it aith another kiss Jesus, if they didn’t do soer

He pushed Kelly flat, then reached across him and flipped the laroaned as his erection rubbed against Nick’s thigh The teasing smile disappeared

"God, that feels weird," Kelly huffed

"Say the word and I’ll stop," Nick grunted, although he was silently praying Kelly would do no such thing He would never be able to look at Kelly’s hands the saet it out of their syste at Nick ide eyes Nick had him pinned to the mattress One of Kelly’s hands had found its way all the way under Nick’s shirt to drag down the giant eagle, globe, and anchor tattoo on Nick’s shoulder, and he’d thrown one foot over Nick’s calf as their legs tangled together They were both hard

"It feels good," Kelly finally whispered, sounding surprised "Will it hurt?"

"I’ to fuck you, Kels"

"Why not?"

"Because you’re hurt and I get rough"

Kelly sed hard, his breath quickening "How rough?"

Nick cocked his head and smiled slowly

"That’s kind of hot"

Nick stretched out over hiht on hiroan froainst his through his boxers

"Jesus, Nick," Kelly gasped, finally dropping the humor in his voice He pushed at Nick’s shirt "Lose soed at his shirt with his free hand, yanking it over his head and throwing it aside Kelly ran his hand up Nick’s chest, fingers barely grazing, tentative He was an odd mixture of bold and uncertain Nick didn’t knohy that turned him on, but it did He’d never been with anyone for their first time He’d certainly never been with a friend Oh God, this was probably a bad idea But soreat idea as Kellyin that ain, his body relaxing eventhehis eyes off Nick’s Nick fought to regulate his breathing, but it was getting difficult He gasped when Kelly’s hand dipped under the elastic of his boxers, and he lowered hih are you?" Kelly asked, his voice husky

"When you get healed up, maybe I’ll show you"

Kelly’s breaths cahed, kissing Kelly one ot to his hands and knees Kelly shoved at his boxers, pushing thehs With the ed back across Nick’s hips and up his ribs

Nick hovered over hi to read just how serious he was Kelly was the same person who’d insisted it would be fun to BASE juo with his through to their natural end That was Nick’s job "Reaching the point of no return on this"

"I’ve been awake for an hour, Nick Couldn’t stop thinking about it"
