Destiny of Three by Bryce Evans Page B

explained as he lingered on the staircase, watching Sullivan take it all in.
    Sky waited for him then escorted him upstairs to his bedroom, took out some sweatpants and a shirt and laid them on the bed.
    He was amazed at how detailed the woodcarvings sitting around his room were. “You did these?”
    “Yes,” Sky answered. 
    Sky had started to walk out when Sullivan stopped him.  “Aren’t you going to help me get out of these wet clothes?” he asked.  He waited to see what Sky would do.  He never expected the man to turn around and slam him up against the wall. 
    “You’ve been taunting me since we met.  Don’t underestimate me, Sullivan.”  Sky grabbed his shirt and lifted it halfway, waiting for him to raise his arms.  He gave them both what they wanted and lifted his arms up so Sky could pull it over his head. 
    Both of them stared at each other until Sky lowered his head and kissed his chest.  Sullivan gasped as Sky looked up at him.  His heart was beating so fast.  He’d never felt like this before; he couldn’t understand why this man affected him so much. 
    “You’re dripping all over my floor.  You need to take your pants off.”  Sky pushed off the wall, watching and waiting.
    Sullivan smiled.  Yes, he could get use to this.  He unbuttoned his pants and pushed them down as he continued to stare at Sky.  His friend had been brave a few minutes ago, but now Sky’s breathing picked up and he started to back up.
    “You look like you need to get some dry clothes on, too.  Go get dry,” Sullivan told him, but Sky didn’t move, continuing to watch him take his pants off.  God, he wanted this man, but not here and not now.  He had to get as far away from here as he could before Regis found him and the Powerful Three.

    Sky closed his eyes then took in a deep breath.  When he opened them again, Sullivan had already taken his pants and underwear off.  There he stood in all his glory, and what a sight it was —  the man’s erection was huge, and it was sticking straight up toward him. 
    He did the only thing he could do, which was to smile then back up toward the bathroom.  When he was close to the door he turned around, walked in, and closed the door behind him.  He knew that Sullivan had a great sense of hearing, so he didn’t make a sound. 
    He sat down on the toilet seat with his head in his hands.  He wanted this man more then he’d ever wanted anything in his life.  He was attracted to women too, but Sullivan did it for him, and by the looks of it, Sullivan wanted him too.
    “Knock, knock.”  Sky almost jumped out of his skin. 
    “Sky, supper is done and we’re waiting on you.”  River advised. 
    “Okay, I’m changing clothes then I’ll be down.  Don’t wait on me,” he answered.
    “Are you kidding?  They’ll probably have already eaten everything by the time I get back downstairs.”  River giggled.  Sky could hear her closing his bedroom door.
    He dressed quickly.  He wanted to talk to Sullivan more.
     

Chapter 12
     
     
    As Sky walked down the stairs he could hear the laughter.  Jonas was at it again, telling stories.  He loved it here, and now Sullivan was here in his home and that feeling hammered at his heart for some reason.  This man pulled at all the emotional strings he had, including lust. 
    Sky walked into the kitchen, ladled out some stew and went and sat at the table.  He glanced up at Sullivan, who was smiling and listening to Jonas.  Sullivan’s smile was genuine as he watched him interact with his family.  Sullivan’s life had to be fun.  His green eyes glimmered as he laughed at Jonas’s story.
    Better still was the fact that Sullivan had on the clothes he’d worn last night.  Images of lounging around on the couch with a fire going as they snuggled together watching TV flashed through Sky’s mind. 
    Could he have a life with a mate?  He wondered if Sullivan would stick around and see where this might
