Goated by the Gods by Sheri Lyn

only so much rejection a man can take, and that counts double for when it’s the other half of his soul doing it.”
    Zach reached up and gently turned Gareth’s face toward him. “What if I told you I am tired of fighting this? What if I said just hearing your voice makes me feel like I could fly? That thoughts of you have filled my head nonstop since I left you in that cave.
    “I feared to believe you could be different and I let my prejudice influence me. The truth is I crave you. Not just your body, but your mind, your heart and your soul. I need you like the trees need water. You are what makes me whole, makes me feel.”
    Gareth swallowed and closed his eyes in fear. Did he dare believe Zach had changed this much so quickly? How could he believe him? If Zach left he would die, he knew it as surely as he knew the sky was blue.
    “I don’t know if I can take the chance of you walking away again,” Gareth whispered in a pained voice.
    “You know I won’t, I can’t. If I do we both die, but it’s more than that and you know it. My heart, body and soul belong to you. I let my mind cloud things but over the last few hours, I have come to know the truth. I’m miserable without you. I need you in my life. I would rather die right now than ever hurt you again.”
    Gareth felt a rush of something pulse through his body as he gave into what they both desperately wanted. Zach was right, they didn’t have a choice. They were two halves of a whole and without the other, life was dark and dreary. The few minutes he had with Zach in that bathroom had shown him how lonely and sad life was without him. He was alive but lived as if he was dead. Zach was his breath, his heartbeat and his soul.

    “Please, don’t walk away this time,” Gareth whispered as he moved in to kiss Zach for the first time in their short relationship.
    Their lips met in a bone-melting kiss so hot, it could melt the polar ice caps. Zach’s groan filled Gareth’s ears as he deepened the kiss and pushed Gareth against the wall.
    “Baby, I need you…so bad. I…can’t be…gentle…this time. I need…you too badly…to wait,” Zach said in between kisses.
    “Take me, I'm yours to command.”
    “You like it when I take control? Tell you what to do?”
    “Yes, I love it. It’s a turn on and makes me feel completely dependent on you. You’re in control of my pleasure. Just the idea makes me ready to come.” Gareth groaned, “Please, I want you so bad.” Before he could utter another word, Zach turned them around and walked him back toward one of the cots. Their mouths fused together as they ripped at each other’s clothes in a frenzied passion that left them both breathless and panting.
    “Slow down, let me look at you,” Gareth pleaded as Zach pushed him closer to the bed. Gareth gasped as Zach lowered his pants and rubbed against him.
    “Feeling is so much better, my love.”
    Gareth spun and pushed Zach to sit on the bed. “My turn. I want a taste of what I was denied last weekend.” He sank to his knees and spread Zach’s legs apart.
    “Fuck my mouth, but don’t come. I want you inside of me for that.”
    Zach sputtered at his words, but all rational thought evaporated the moment he felt Gareth’s mouth engulf him. Zach bucked his hips and let out a guttural cry. “Holy gods.”
    Gareth pulled back so only Zach’s tip was still in his mouth. “Do it, baby. Fist your hands in my hair and fuck my mouth.”
    Zach didn’t need to be told twice, the feel of all that wet heat wrapped around his cock was driving him insane. He lifted his hips and thrust up as he pulled Gareth’s head down farther on his cock, over and over, until he was seeing stars. Gareth hummed and sucked harder the faster Zach pumped into him.
    “Stop, I’m too close,” Zach panted as he pulled Gareth off. “You are so damn sexy.” Zach pulled Gareth up for a scorching kiss. He could taste himself on his tongue and it lit fires through this
