Daniel pulled his attention back to James as he explained what he’d found out and what evidence he had been able to collect. James laid out his case right there over the phone and as he spoke he sent various messages and images through text.
The strength he displayed as he relayed information, the organization, and the sheer confidence in his voice were sexy as all hell. James really knew what he was doing. Seeing him in action had been awesome, and hearing him lay out his case was almost thrilling. Which was a bit of a surprise.
“Yes,” James said as he wrapped up what he was saying. “My sister is supposed to be getting married tomorrow and he’s going to do it…yes… Thank you.” He listened some more and then, after thanking the person on the line once again, ended the call.
“Is everything okay?”
James nodded and sighed. “Yes. They said they’ll look into everything I gave them. They were impressed at what I sent.”
“They should be,” Daniel told him. “You and Margot did good work.”
James sighed softly once again. “Anyway, they’ll look into it, but things aren’t going to happen all that fast. So tomorrow should be fine. Holly will get married tomorrow, and everything will be okay. It isn’t the best solution, but at least the show will go on.”
“You were amazing,” Daniel said as he leaned over to him, throwing his arms around James’s neck. “You did what was right and safeguarded the wedding so your sister could have the big day she deserves.” James was a good man, there was no doubt of that. Daniel kissed James hard, moaning as James’s strong hands wrapped around his back.
James held him tighter, kissing harder, pressing him back against the seat. “Hell, I want you,” James growled. “I have for days.” Daniel found himself caught in James’s intense gaze. “Do you have any fucking idea? I’ve gone to bed every night with a permanent hard-on, smelling your aromatic Viagra. I haven’t gotten more than a few hours’ sleep, and my imagination has been running on overdrive with you right next to me and off-limits.”
James didn’t give Daniel a chance to respond before he kissed him again, reaching over to put the seat back. “You need to stop me now, or…” James’s eyes were as dark as night and his breathing shallow. “Say you want this too.”
“James,” Daniel gasped as James slid his hand up under his clothes. Daniel had never been so happy in his life to be wearing multiple layers to keep his manhood hidden instead of tucking, because damn, his heart pounded as excitement raced through him like wildfire. “I want you, but…” He gasped for breath before James tugged at his lips. Daniel held him tighter, sucking on James’s tongue, his control slipping. “We’re in the church parking lot.” He didn’t want to think about it.
James paused a second, lifting his heated gaze. “Damn…” He sat back in his seat, breathing hard. “This is too open, and I don’t intend to share you with anyone.” He swiped his hand down his face. “I must be crazy.”
“What?” Daniel whispered.
James took a deep breath, held it, and released it slowly. “I’m not going to do this here.”
“Because it’s a church?” Daniel was seconds from jumping James. Daniel had been going out of his mind for days and was tired of this waiting. He wanted to get his hands on James and feel what all of those incredible muscles and hot skin next to him were like. He wanted to know what it was like to have James all to himself in the most intimate way.
“No…” James closed his eyes. “I can’t believe I’m doing this…but no. Not here. I don’t want to do this here.” He seemed to steady himself once more. “When I get you all to myself…alone and open to me, I want it to be more meaningful than fucking hurriedly in the damned car. I want it to be in a bed with you naked, laid out for me, wanting, begging, looking at me like I’m the center of the universe. I want to take my time and show you everything you deserve.” He swallowed hard, and Daniel put his seat back up.
Daniel did his best to catch his own breath and tamp down the disappointment that welled inside. “I…” He sighed.
James stopped. “You deserve more than this. You deserve the biggest, most comfortable bed…hours of exploration…days…maybe even weeks. You should be treated as though you’re worth every second we spend together and not just a quickie somewhere.” James drew closer. “Because when I have you, I want all of you, every single inch, and every bit of your attention. I’m a selfish man, and I only want the best.” James held his hand, the energy between them filling the car. “We’d better get to the rehearsal dinner.”
