until Corey was pressed between the kitchen bench and his mate.
Ethan stepped right up into his personal space.
Corey could feel the hard outline of Ethan's cock pressing against his own aching prick.
"You feel so good under me like this. I think you would feel even better naked, with me riding your hard dick." Corey bit back the groan that wanted to break free and the mental image of Ethan riding him became front and centre in his mind.
"Please," he whispered, not able to talk any louder with the arousal that currently swamped his body.
"Please what?" Ethan purred as his hands started to caress Corey's chest.
"Please, don't, Ethan. Just please stop."
Ethan paused in his ministrations to look at him pointedly.
"I'll make you a deal," he said quietly.
Corey didn't want to make any deals but with the way he was feeling at the moment, he would do just about anything, because he didn't think he could control himself much longer.
"What's the deal?" Corey bit out through gritted teeth.

"I'll stop for the night."
Corey sighed in relief and started to relax as Ethan took a step back.
" If you agree to go on a date with me and allow me the time to prove that you and I belong together."
Corey closed his eyes and let his head hang
forward. This was what he had been trying to avoid. He couldn't see any other solution though. Either he agreed or he declined and Ethan continued with his ministrations tonight. Somehow Corey highly doubted it would just be for tonight either, Ethan would more than likely keep up the act until Corey snapped.
"Fine." He sighed in defeat. "One date."
"We'll see, big guy," Ethan said, as he patted his cheek gently, before he leaned in and placed a soft kiss to Corey's lips. Ethan didn't push or try for anything else.
Instead he smiled, stepped back, and returned to the living room and the rest of the guests.
Corey upended the beer in his hands and swallowed the lot before he placed the empty bottle on the bench then scrubbed his hands over his face roughly and ran his fingers through his hair.
He knew it was a bad idea to agree to see Ethan, but it was either that or snap and claim the man, because he would have no control over the situation after his wolf

forcefully wrested it from him.
Corey stayed in the kitchen for another five minutes until he was sure his body was completely under control again before he walked out and joined back into the game.
The rest of the night passed without any problems.
Corey had gotten his éclairs despite Declan's declarations to the contrary. He'd reached for the last one at the same time Ethan had. Ethan had smiled at him and graciously let Corey have the sweet treat. Corey nodded in thanks then carefully broke it in two, offering Ethan the other half.
He'd ignored the awww coming from Tommy.
Ethan thanked him and took the remaining piece of pastry.
Half an hour later the games were over, the kitchen and living area had been tidied, and Corey said goodnight to his visitors. Even with Ethan being there, it had turned out to be a good night.
Ben picked Tommy up, held him close, and
followed Liam, Declan, Kieran, Brad, and Samuel out of the house. Ethan stood in the doorway, their eyes locked on one another.
"I'll call you sometime this week with the details."
Corey nodded and Ethan turned and jogged down the path to Ben's big SUV that waited at the curb for him.
Corey closed and locked the door and collapsed

back against it.
What a night.
He moved through the house, turning off all the lights and double checking his door before Corey walked down the passage and into his room.
"Jesus," he swore. Ethan's scent had even permeated all the way in here. Corey groaned; he'd never be able to get rid of it.
He stripped and headed for the shower. Corey
waited a moment for the water to heat up then stepped under the scalding spray. He had no idea how long he stood there
