Even If You Don't Mean It

Part 3

"I ain't gonna deny that, I like hearin' you say you enjoyed it. 'Specially in that voice of yours," Sy's voice grows raspy, and his register lowers as he speaks. You feel his body behind yours as he wraps an arm around your belly and growls into your ear, "Listenin' to you moan my name— shit, you could make a man lose his damn mind, ya know that Sugar?"

Lose his mind? If that's the case, you aren't going to be far behind. One turn of phrase and he can melt you. It's been a long time since a man has had that effect on you and the only thing that stops you from being embarrassed is that it's obvious you have a similar effect on him.

"Give me your clothes," you say with a warble in your voice.

Sy passes you his bundle and taking his bag from the hallway, you open the door to your room.

"My bedroom," you tell Sy. His lips seem to grow tight into a line as he sticks his head through the door while you drop his clothes and his bag on the bed.

"You ok?" you ask him as you reenter the hall.

Sy eyes you up and down as he draws his lower lip into his mouth. Whatever the look he had on his face a few seconds ago was gone, replaced by a lusty grin.

"Fan-fucking-tastic," he says lewdly.

Fuck. It didn't cross your mind that without the bundle of clothes to hide behind you are completely naked. You have a sudden urge to cover up despite it being completely ridiculous, he's already seen you naked and is about to get into the shower with you. But context is everything, and casually standing naked in the hallway feels different and so much more bold.

Fighting the urge to run and hide, you try to draw out the confidence you had not fifteen minutes earlier, and you stand still for a moment to let him look. He looks at you for a long time, his eyes slowly sliding down your body, as he takes a small step closer to you. For the first time you take in his whole naked form; he is magnificent. To you, he is masculinity manifest; the powerful muscular frame, the sheer size of him, and the hair covering his body that seems to be so perfectly manicured. You can't stop your gaze from going lower to the thicket of curly hair and the leviathan that lay there, unhidden.

Imitating Sy's reaction, you bite your lip at the sight of him. He's not soft, but not entirely hard and he points to the floor. His length isn't much different from when he is hard, but he gets so much thicker. You know, when that moment arrives, he's going to fill you up and stretch you wide. You think about grabbing his hand and taking him to your bedroom instead of the bathroom, but Sy takes another step closer and rests his hand on your cheek.

"I thought you were shy or something," Sy says, moving his thumb slowly over the apple of your cheek. You must have looked confused because he continues, "You were reluctant that one time we talked about sex on the phone. I thought you were nervous about it, or really inexperienced."

"Are you... disappointed?"

"Are you crazy?" Sy says quickly, and you can't help but laugh. "Don't you know..."

Sy stops mid sentence, his brows draw low, and his tongue works over his teeth as he begins to feel you. His palms rub over your body, occasionally stopping at random spots, squeezing you there, sometimes getting a handful of flesh, sometimes bone. His eyes follow the path of his hands until he sighs with a smile and looks at you.

"You are so fuckin' gorgeous," Sy shakes his head, "Remember the night we met?"

You nod, "At The Baron."

"Yeah. The second you walked in, the whole bar got quiet. It made me—"

Sy's jaw juts out, and he holds it there a moment as he seems to stare at nothing over your shoulder. You cover his hand with yours and his face relaxes a little as you slide your hand over his forearm. He smiles a little at you, but his eyes still seem distant.
