have you catching a cold on our first date,” Jared teased. “Besides it will serve as a souvenir of our evening together. One I hope you will always remember.”
“Are you kidding? I’ll never forget tonight.” Joey slipped the sweatshirt over his head then shook out his rumpled curls.
“How do I look?” he asked, imitating a model’s pose.

“Beautiful,” Jared murmured, his dark eyes gleaming in the soft light cast from the decorative lanterns overhead. “And so very desirable I have to exert every ounce of my self-control in order not to ravish you right here, right now.”
Joey felt emboldened by the obvious lust in Jared’s smile and words. “You will come home with me after the concert, won’t you?”
“Wild horses wouldn’t keep me away.”
All right. Joey thought he could just about wait through the concerts second half.
Joey gave Jared a puzzled look as the taller man paused in the doorway to Joey’s apartment. “Are you having second thoughts?”
He hoped the teasing inflection in his voice masked the apprehension that Jared had, after all, changed his mind.
You have to invite me in …
“Of course you’re invited in,” Joey blurted, not realising until after he’d said the words that he hadn’t actually heard Jared’s request. It had been more like a thought. The moment was immediately forgotten when Jared stepped inside and took Joey in his arms. Jared’s lips on his created such an overwhelming surge of desire in Joey that he found himself trembling in Jared’s arms. Trembling with the longing to be taken body and soul by this man, to be filled by him, to give himself unconditionally—and forever .
Joey was momentarily startled by that last thought, but the power of Jared’s kiss overtook his senses again and he gave himself up to the sensation of the man’s tongue skimming over his, reaching each and every part of his mouth. Joey eased himself back a little, shucking off his new sweatshirt before tackling the buttons on Jared’s shirt. He wanted to feel Jared’s bare skin pressed against his own, needed it more than he’d needed anything in his life. He gasped as what was left of his clothes simply fell from his body.
What the—? But there was no time for further thought, caught as he was once more in the snare of Jared’s arms, their naked bodies writhing together, their lips locked in another rapturous kiss. Jared scooped Joey up into his arms and carried him through the bedroom’s open door. They fell onto the bed, their naked limbs entwined, their tongues still exploring BLOOD LURE

each other’s mouths. Jared’s kisses seemed to act like a sensuous drug on Joey’s senses, heightening them, drawing him into a state of rapture that, until then, he’d never known.
Jared’s mouth latched on to Joey’s left nipple and Joey groaned out his pleasure as Jared nibbled and licked at the sensitive, hardening flesh, before trailing his lips over to feast on its twin. Joey bucked and writhed under Jared. “Want to taste you,” he managed to gasp. “Want you in my mouth.”
Jared straddled Joey’s chest then leant forward, the head of his cock brushed Joey’s lips, the scent and spicy taste of his pre cum bringing Joey to near ejaculation. Joey opened wide, taking the glistening head into his mouth, his tongue swirling up and down the length of the hard pulsing shaft. Joey’s hands caressed Jared’s thighs, slid up the sides of Jared’s sleekly muscled torso, then down the length of his spine to cup his buttocks and pull him deeper into his mouth.
A long groan escaped Jared’s lips. His body shuddered as he repressed his urge to come. He wanted more from this first time with Joey. Although he knew his powers would make him ready again soon after his climax, he wanted to take his time making love to Joey, to bring him sensations that perhaps he’d never experienced.
He already knew Joey was
