James groaned softly, slotting his hips against Eli's while he licked and kissed his throat. He was getting harder by the minute, both savoring the boy under him and what they'd soon doing. There's a thrill in knowing he's the first person to experience this with Eli. It made him ache in ways he hadn't felt in years.

Before they got much further along, James reached across to the table beside sofa bed, blindly feeling around inside the drawer for the bottle of lube and a condom. Just because he hadn't been dating anyone didn't mean he wasn't prepared. Once retrieved, he tossed them beside them so they'd be in reach when it was time.

And after that? His mouth mapped over Eli's skin, trailing over a shoulder, along his collarbones, then down the center of his chest. James caressed Eli's sides and chest, fingers toying with his nipples as he shuffled down the boy's body, lower and lower.
