Here Comes Trouble (Nothing Special #3)(35)

“I’m going to shower,” Ruxs murmured, getting up and walking past him.

Green heard his door close and after a few minutes the shower in guest bath was running. He pulled off his own clothes, needing to shower himself. When Ruxs came back, he didn’t want to still have Cynthia’s perfume on him. He did his business in the bathroom and bathed quickly. With a towel wrapped around him he went to his nightstand and picked up his phone. He called their office. It was late but Ronowski and a couple other detectives were usually there over night. As soon as Ro picked up the phone, Green told him everything that happened. He needed Ro to double-check the police report filed and find out exactly what Ruxs’ mom was being charged with and which DA had been assigned to the case. His partner would want those answers in the morning.

Green put on a pair of black boxer briefs and settled into his bed. His television the only light in the dark room. It’d been over an hour and Ruxs hadn’t come back to him. He was just getting ready to get up in search for him when he saw his door opening slowly. Green raised up on one elbow, watching his partner. He had on a pair of plaid cotton pajama pants, bare feet, and no shirt. His hair was wet from the top of his head to his broad chest. Again, Green was mesmerized by the sexy, silky hair spread across those defined muscles. Ruxs looked unsure as he inched slowly towards him.

“I thought you might’ve been sleep. I didn’t want to wake you, but I was lying there in bed and I just didn’t want to keep thinking about tonight, about my mom sitting in a jail cell,” Ruxs said, his voice pain-filled.

Green didn’t say anything; he just pulled the covers back.

“Are you sure?” Ruxs said quietly.

“Get your ass over here.” Green smiled warmly. “How does your head feel?”

“Better. I took some aspirin. You know I’m used to bumps and bruises.” Ruxs slid under the covers and Green pressed his body up against his side. Ruxs turned and buried his head in his neck breathing in his fresh, clean scent.

“You’re so warm, smell so good,” Ruxs whispered against the side of his face.

Green chuckled lightly, rubbing his hand up and down Ruxs’ arm. He felt him pull back from him and look into his eyes, his expression serious.

“Am I just making a fool of myself here?” Ruxs snapped at him.

He hated how insecure Ruxs became anytime he left from his mom’s house. He hoped she served the maximum time allowed for her charges. Green couldn’t put into words how much Ruxs meant to him, he’d have to show him. Green rolled Ruxs to his back and positioned himself on top of all that manliness.

“Oh god.” Ruxs groaned. He immediately brought his hands up to get a good grip on Green’s waist.

“Is this better? Because, lately you seem to be having a hard time believing what I say. That stops now. You’ve known me a long time. You know that: One: I don’t lie, Two: I’ve never bullshitted you, Three: if I say or do something, it’s because I want to. Why can’t you see how important you are to me? After all this time.”

“Maybe because you were just about to fuck someone else before I got here,” Ruxs said dryly.

Green gritted his teeth. “Maybe if you wouldn’t have been such a pussy and just talked to me like a man, then maybe I would’ve been here about to fuck you instead of her.”

Ruxs’ gorgeous, pale green eyes flashed emerald with anger right before Green was aggressively flipped over. Ruxs rolled on top of him, gripping his wrists in a punishing hold and slamming them above his head. Ruxs didn’t say anything, his nostrils flaring with his fury. Green’s cock hardened to the point of pain. He didn’t mind being handled like this, it turned him on in the most delicious way. Ruxs was so big, all those hard muscles pressed up against his own. He didn’t have to be careful with Ruxs, gentle or delicate, and Ruxs could do what he pleased to him. They stayed in that position, panting, letting their arousal build until one of them detonated. Green smirked at his partner and spread his legs wide so he could fall in between them. The lustful groan Ruxs let loose was enough for Green to take action. He gripped Ruxs chin, way more powerfully than he did Cynthia’s and pulled his face down to his. Their lips met in a powerful connection. Green squeezed Ruxs to him, as if he couldn’t get him close enough even though their bodies were molded together from mouth to feet. Ruxs’ hands came up and weaved through his hair; pulling him in the direction he wanted him. His head was slanted back to left and Ruxs slammed his mouth over his, his tongue delving in deeper. Green thrust his hard cock into his and sucked Ruxs tongue like he wanted to suck on that hard dick pressing into his.

Ruxs pulled back, completely out of breath. “Fuck.”

Green pulled Ruxs back to him, kissing and biting at his strong jaw. Showing him that he was just as turned on as him. Showing him that he’d fantasized too, but he was also too much a pussy to confront those feelings. Scared of ruining a good thing, because honestly, he’d take Ruxs whatever way he could get him. And if that meant best friends only, he was willing to accept it. The noises that Ruxs made were obscene and nasty. He cursed and groaned in his mouth, in his ear. Green didn’t know just how far to take this. If it was up to him, he’d pull out Ruxs’ dick and sheathe him so he could ride him the rest of the night, but he doubted he was ready for that. He realized he had little information on how these feelings arose in his partner. Because, he was all but sure that Ruxs had never been with a man.
