Marshmallows and the Snow [Sweet Snacks: 1] by Liza Kay Read Free Book Online

obvious. As reluctant as he’d been earlier to progress their relationship, now he touched Ruben as if his life depended on it or he was going to suffer great pain if he didn’t kiss and lick every inch of skin he could reach.
    Ruben’s body would be covered in hickeys in the morning. And maybe some bites. He didn’t give a fuck. Never before had someone held Ruben tighter, kissed him more passionately, or made him feel so cherished and adored, cared for.
    The look on Aleks’ face was a sight to behold. Mostly swallowed by black arousal, his glacier eyes were wide and not once did this gaze stray from Ruben’s face. Not even to look at their snuggling cocks. Ruben’s face, his reactions, seemed to be the most important thing to Aleks. And didn’t that thought give him a boost?
    The hand jacking them tightened and Ruben was dangerously close to the edge. The sensation of Aleks’ cock rubbing against his felt utterly erotic. Plus constantly staring at his man didn’t help his case one bit. Just looking at so much lust and attractiveness was nearly enough to push him the last tiny step he needed.
    Aleks’ lips were red and puffy from their kissing and biting. It suited him as much as the ruffled hair. Ruben had ruffled it! His own hands in a sexy man’s hair. Toby’s hair had been too short to bring it in naughty disarray or simply to hold onto in the heat of the moment.
    Come to think of it... Ruben grabbed those silky strands when naughty fingertips lightly brushed over his hole. The touch was so fleeting and soft, but it was Ruben’s undoing. He yelled his release through the cabin, painting their stomachs and Aleks’ hand with his spunk.
    “Engel...”
    Aleks’ deep grunt as he came too was hot as hell and sounded bearish. And cute. The man rested his face against the crook of Ruben’s neck, breathing him in. Well... maybe he was merely trying to catch his breath, because holy shit, that had been intense. They were panting like they’d run a marathon through the snow. Ruben could only wrap his arms tighter around Aleks’ neck and hold on. He felt limp, pliant and sleepy. It always happened to him after an orgasm. Toby had hated it.
    Lying in Aleks’ arms, content and happy as he could be, Ruben saw the truth. Toby and his sexual experiments had never been close to what Ruben was experiencing with his blond God. Satisfying on a basic level, yes. But earth-shattering? No.
    “Hmm,” he hummed, nuzzling Aleks’ temple in a gesture he’d always loved himself. Aleks loved it, too, given the happy little sigh escaping him and the big hand lovingly fondling Ruben’s bum.
    “Yeah, my thought precisely,” his lover murmured.
    Ruben hoped Aleks wouldn’t regret what they did. He was getting attached to the wonderful, caring and gentle man. If Aleks were to shy away from him because he was afraid to get his heart broken, it would hurt like a bitch. Both their hearts were at stake. Ruben didn’t have any illusions about this being a holiday fling. No way. Aleks wouldn’t treat him bad, right? He’d been so reluctant to give in to their mutual attraction.
    But the longer Aleks remained silent, the more Ruben worried what was going on inside the man’s head. Obviously, he wasn’t able to conceal his discomfort because Aleks raised his head and looked at him questioningly.
    “What?” Ruben croaked. Oh, damn. He sounded hoarse. Either it was due to the screaming during their lovemaking or the emotional turmoil. Ruben felt edgy and raw after that overwhelming experience. Just the slightest hint that Aleks wasn’t as touched as he was would probably shatter him. Or at least his heart.
    “You’re tense all of a sudden.” Aleks’ voice was laced with concern. “Is something wrong?”
    “Am I?” Ruben dodged the question with one of his own.
    “Yes, engel. Did I do something you didn’t like? Was it too fast?”
    Oh, bother! He’d worried his lover with his behavior. The last thing he wanted to
