"You sure about that?" Ty asked as his stomach fluttered nervously

His voice finally betrayed the nerves "Trying to be a real partner to you here, Zane If you need to tell , then here’s your chance"

The uncertainty in Ty’s voice surprised Zane enough that he looked up at the other man’s reflection in the et so far under his skin that Zane was losing his grip It was ti about this attraction that had been building Then, ain Another punch from Ty would do the trick

Zane slowly turned around to face the otheroff in his head, he leaned back against the counter and reached out to slide the ends of his fingers into the front of the waistband of Ty’s jeans and tug him forward

The color drained from Ty’s face as Zane pulled hiain in a pleasant somersault of nervous butterflies It only took a moment for hiuardedly as his entire body tensed If this was anything but co to knock the bastard on his ass

The caution that crept back into Ty’s gaze was a pretty clear warning

Zane loosened his fingers and alo, but Ty didn’t pull away It was 142

now or never Zane took a slow, deep breath and ducked his chin, tilted his head sideways, and slid his lips fir when Zane finally touched their lips together He shivered and his lips parted tentatively, but his wary eyes never closed Giving in, Zane pulled him closer and lifted one hand to cup Ty’s cheek as he increased the pressure of his lips against Ty’s

Ty groaned softly and finally relaxed against the kiss, returning it tentatively He knew he’d regret this just as soon as they parted, but he couldn’t bring hiut as Ty’s lipsinside hi to be an absolute fucking ers out of the waistband and curled that arerous kiss His hand on Ty’s cheek tre, horribly tantalizing h to break the contact and pushed gently at Zane’s chest "That’s what I thought," he rasped as his breath gusted against Zane’s lips

Zane slowly opened his eyes as their lips hovered a mere breath apart, and he dropped his hand so both settled on Ty’s hips "Thought?" he asked

"Thisbut I thought you were fucking with rily as he forced hiether onceback fro ire

"Not about this," he said seriously, already starting to tense and brace hi in heavily through his nose as if he were about to dive under water as he pulled hiured if Zane was fucking with hihtening his arms, Zane closed theth, dizzy with the surprise and desire blasting through hient Just … beyond All the hate and anger wasinto heat and passion and he had no idea what to think about it

Suddenly, Ty yanked away fro Zane’s chest a good hard sasped as he tried to get hiainst his bare skin He gasped out a laugh as he leaned back "Me?" he asked in disbelief, squirainst the counter

Ty grabbed hi hiht about it, he’d cut and run--as far and as fast as he possibly could Zane grunted as he landed against Ty’s chest, his stance spread enough to lower hiht as Ty Clutching at Ty’s shoulders, Zane shifted his weight to push the other man back toward the door

Ty hit the door with a rush of air fro the doorknob as the impact slammed the door closed, but neither man noticed They were far too distracted by the sudden turn of events "I had you pegged as trouble froly between the hurried htly and sucked it between his lips before letting it loose "Your middle name is trouble," he said as he ran a hand down Ty’s side, feeling the hard rowled dangerously He couldn’t decide if he was angry or just really fucking turned on Either way, it was all Zane fucking Garrett’s fault…

Pulling in a deep breath when his body reacted to the harsh sound, Zane set his forear their chests, hips, and groins rock together "Nohat?" he breathed "You wanted to kno you know"

Ty banged his head back on the door and closed his eyes, huffing through his nose as he tried to regain soroaned plaintively "I didn’t wanna know"

Zane couldn’t help but smile and snicker "Too late, hotshot," he said

"Bastard"

"Corinning, amazed at Ty’s pliancy, Zane leaned forward to steal a firroaned slightly Zane couldn’t resist that little sound, and hehisbetween swollen lips Ty see the tension that was always in hi the caustic shield he seeed a few incoherent murmurs as he slid a hand into Zane’s hair

Zane wrapped his arht, just enough to hold their bodies in constant contact The tiny sounds and first real touch frootta stop," Ty groaned finally, pulling back as much as he dared Their lips still touched when he spoke "Neither of us is up to this," he rasped, breathing still difficult as his body screaht excuse, Zane knew, but it would have to serve

This could only lead to disaster He slowly straightened, seeing the desire in Ty’s hooded eyes So on each side of Ty’s rib cage until they fell away

Ty lowered his head, still looking at Zane froether "Fuck," he finally observed flatly

Zane took another step back, slid one hand into his back pocket to keep it off Ty, and leaned against the counter again Raising his other hand, he lightly ran a finger over his split lip, feeling the pain return as the tingle and thrill dissipated He could echo Ty’s senti hirab the other ain some measure of control

"What the fuck do we do now?" Ty asked in frustration
