“Excuse me. You’re the one who talked about tongue thrusting.”

“I don’t remember using that word.”

“Well, whatever word it was, you offered to kiss me against this tree and now you’re being a tease.”

“You know what I think?”

“That you need to stop thinking and start kissing.”

“I think you were imagining my tongue doing something else.”

Liam flushed and couldn’t look Austin in the eyes.

“Are you going to tell me what you’d like me to do to you against this tree?”

He shook his head, feeling embarrassed.

“Okay, then,” said Austin, lowering Liam to the ground.

“What are you doing?” Liam whined.

“Getting back to our bike ride.”

“But you promised me a kiss.”

He didn’t like how whiny his voice was, but he wasn’t above begging.

“And you promised to be honest with me.”

Liam groaned. “Fine, I thought about you using your tongue for something else.”

“What?”

“I’m sure you can guess.”

“I can, but I want you to say it.”

“Fine. I want you to... I want you to fuck me with your tongue, and then pick me up like you just did and pound me against this tree.”

Austin’s eyes went almost feral as he picked Liam up again and slammed him against the tree, plundering his mouth with his tongue. Liam was hard in seconds and couldn’t help but thrust against Austin’s stomach. He reciprocated with a roll of his hips, and Liam was reminded again that Austin wasn’t small, but if he wanted to take him now, he’d make it fit. He wanted it all, and not just Austin’s dick. He wanted his heart as well.

“We’d better get going before I do something that could get us arrested,” said Austin.

“I don’t object to taking the risk.”

Austin chuckled. “Such a tease. Come on,” he said, lowering Liam again. “The first time Ihave you will not be up against a tree. It’s going to somewhere private, so I can take my time with you.”

Austin kissed Liam on the lips, letting it linger a couple of seconds, enough to not be too chaste, but not enough for things to heat up again. He smiled, turned, and was mounting his bike before Liam’s brain came back online. His cock was still like a tent pole, which would make cycling uncomfortable. It was frustrating, but he knew he’d appreciate it more if they waited. The whole being private and taking hours thing... Well, he didn’t say hours, but he had a feeling Austin wasn’t a pump-and-dump kind of guy. Liam got back on his bike, willing his cock to go down, and then cycled after Austin. Their next date couldn’t come soon enough.

Liam had jinxed himself.It was Thursday, and apart from his morning coffee visit, he hadn’t seen Austin. They’d both been busy, but tonight would be their fourth date. They only had a couple of hours because he needed to be home for Maisie, so they were going for dinner at the Stag and Lantern. It had been Liam’s suggestion, because the closer they were to home, the more time they could have together. Austin had been reluctant, given it was his friends who owned the place, and he knew they wouldn’t be able to stop themselves from trying to embarrass him. Liam didn’t think it was possible for Austin to be embarrassed, well, not like he was constantly. He still couldn’t believe he’d told Austin that he wanted to be fucked up against a tree.

Liam arrived at the pub, and Gerard was acting as host, with a shit-eating grin on his face, because of course he was.

“Good evening, Mr Wells. Mr Calder is already seated.”

Liam chuckled and followed Gerard into the restaurant.This place had been a run-down old restaurant before Gerard and Kevin bought it. They’d levelled the building and started from scratch, but while Liam had been in the bar many times, he hadn’t eaten in the restaurant a lot. His mum had loved cooking, so they’d rarely gone out for dinner, especially when he only visited once a month. God, what he’d give for one of her home-cooked meals now. But he didn’t want to think about sad things, not when he was about to have dinner with the most handsome guy in town.

Austin stood up with a big smile as they approached. He was wearing one of his smarter plaid shirts, and another pair of jeans that showed off his thick thighs. Austin cupped Liam’s face in his hands and gave him a kiss, which nearly took him to his knees, and that was without tongue. The man was the god of kissing, which was definitely a thing.
