beyond good, and he’d had his first sexual release with another person, and even better, it’d been with a strong, sexy man. It might have violated the rules he’d been raised with. Even so, he wouldn’t have changed the experience for the world.
    “Come. Let me take you to a more secluded spot. We are still vulnerable here. I wasn’t thinking,” Valen admitted, a crooked grin showing off his white teeth. He picked up the one shoe that he’d taken off of Aaron’s foot. “Up you go.”
    As if Aaron could even move. Somehow he managed, even with his pants hanging awkwardly on one leg, and Valen scooped him into strong arms.
    Aaron squealed and wrapped his arms around Valen’s neck. “What are you doing?”
    “Seems obvious.” Valen jostled him lightly. “Carrying you. Your knee is hurt, and I’m not done with you yet.”
    Aaron’s cock was softening from his release, and if Valen kept talking like that, it’d get hard again very quickly. “Oh. Oh, well, that’s okay then.”
    Valen chuckled and strode toward the stream. “Rivvie, keep a watch out.”
    “Oh ho, gonna get some,” Rivvie snickered. “More, I mean. Get some more.”
    Aaron buried his face against Valen’s chest, wishing he could just disappear. Except that would mean he wouldn’t get to find out what else Valen wanted to do to him.
    “Rivvie,” Valen growled. “Cut it out. Watch for people searching for Aaron.”
    “Yes, sir.”
    “There’s a den I passed not far from here,” Valen said several strides later.
    Aaron kept his face pressed to Valen’s chest. He liked hearing the steady thump of his heart and the rush of air in and out of his lungs. “A den? What kind of den?”
    “Likely an abandoned one.” Valen didn’t supply any more of an answer. After another stretch of silence, he stopped. “I’m going to put you down then help you get in.”
    “I can stand up,” Aaron protested. “It’s not like I’m in a bunch of pain.”
    Valen leered at him. “You’ll be feeling nothing but pleasure again very soon. I want you more than I’ve wanted anyone, I think.”
    Aaron was flattered, and eager. He bit back a grimace when he had to stand on his own. His knee ached. It wasn’t a horrible pain. It reminded him of when he’d tried to race Jason Elderberry and had twisted his ankle. Aaron had lost the race. Jason had had to carry him back to the house.
    It hadn’t felt nearly as good to be carried by Jason as it did to have Valen holding him.
    Valen knelt and looked into the den. “It’s got more room a few feet in. It’s not quite a cave. Could look for one. I’m sure there’s many on this mountain.”
    “This is good.” Aaron wanted Valen to hurry up before all the reasons why Aaron shouldn’t be doing this screamed louder in his head than all the reasons he should. Right now, he only had one reason for going through with this—he wanted Valen. It was a darn good and strong argument for standing there and waiting.
    Valen entered the den. “It’s clear. No critters besides me.” He scooted out of it then stood. His eyes burned with a hunger even Aaron could understand despite his innocence.
    Then again, how innocent was he now that he’d experienced one release with Valen?
    “Do you need help?” Valen asked.
    Before Aaron could answer, Valen took his hands and eased him onto his back. “What are you doing?”
    Valen caressed Aaron’s cheek. “I like the idea of bringing you in here.”
    Aaron was confused until Valen tucked his hands under Aaron’s shoulders then began to drag him into the den.
    Valen was careful, and Aaron didn’t get any bumps or scrapes. He didn’t get to say anything, either, because Valen was stretched out on him within seconds.
    “Now,” Valen all but purred, “where should I start?”

    The way Valen saw it, he had the time to spend a few hours with the sexy man who so clearly wanted him. There was no timetable for when Valen had to be settled
