Hot Winter Night

Holy crap, SO FALSE.

"Swanky digs!" Jacob said for the umpteenth time as he wiggled his bare toes before the fireplace.

Kalan could only laugh as usual at his friend's gift for hyperbole. "I'll just go get the hot chocolate started, OK?"

"Got any of those colored marshmallows?" Josh asked conspiratorially and poked at Jacob's toes.

"Ah...I'll have to look, actually," Kalan said almost knowingly and headed for the kitchen.

When the younger man was out of sight, Josh poked again at his friend's feet. "Your toes are cold."

"What say you warm up the rest of me before worrying about my feet?" Jacob wiggled his eyebrows and smiled cheekily.

Josh blushed and scooted close enough to wrap his arms around the young rocker. The fire continued to crackle and glow, shadows of the flames dancing on the young men. "Hmmm..." Josh snuggled closer and ran a hand along Jacob's leg. "Nothing like the traditional warming by the hearth, huh?"

"Sure." Jacob wiggled his toes again and clasped a hand around his friend's, their fingers lacing together in the manner so familiar to them now. "Followed by the also-traditional Flaming Feet Dance."

The older man chuckled and squeezed Jacob tightly. "You're weird."

"And that's why you love me." Jacob used his free hand to draw Josh's face closer and gently grazed his lips with a kiss.

"Mmm..." Josh wasn't sure whether the heat in his face was from a blush or the fire. "Hey now," he released his hand from Jacob's and slid his fingers between their mouths as a tease, "no kissing me without mistletoe."

Jacob sighed, warming his friend's fingers with his breath, then firmly but gently held onto the other man's wrist. "I got the mistletoe in my pants," he whispered huskily and began kissing Josh's fingertips.

The fire burned on, but Josh knew the warmth he felt was coming from inside him. You're so bad, Jacob, he thought, and closed his eyes enough so he could faintly see Jacob leaving wet kisses on his fingers. It took so much of his composure not to swoon right then and there.

"Is this supposed to be some kind of hint?" he asked faintly.

Jacob ran his tongue along his friend's palm (taking joy in watching Josh shudder in near-ecstasy) and said only, "Maybe."

Josh shut his eyes completely, felt two hands clasp on his sides

(Gentle clasp gentle touch be gentle Jacob)

and was slowly laid down on the floor. The younger man's body snuggled as close to him as possible, and Josh moaned at feeling everything.

"You're a bad boy, Jacob," he whispered.

"I know." The young man rested a hand on his friend's curls.

"Kalan could come back any minute."

"I know." He slid the other hand up Josh's shirt.

"You just don't care, do you?"

"Nope." Jacob deeply pressed his lips against his lover's and slowly slid his tongue inside.

"Mmm..." Josh closed his eyes again, moaned into the kiss, and let the tip of his tongue trace around Jacob's lips. "Oooh, Jacob, you taste so good..." he couldn't help murmuring, "this is so wonderful..."

And so naughty, a corner of his mind spoke up. Kalan could come back right this second! Do you want to risk that?

Josh answered that thought rubbing one hand along his friend's back, and letting the other grip his waistband. "You tease," Jacob whispered and continued kissing and caressing.

"Mmm..." Josh's eyes rolled up in delight as his tongue tickled the base of his lover's lip ring. Jacob was pressed up so close it was impossible not to feel everything, not to feel the mess of dark hair against his cheek, or each ragged, panting breath on his skin, enough to make him shiver and sweat and react. "Oh my god...Jacob..." He clutched tightly to the younger man's hair and wrapped his legs around one of Jacob's, grinding his hips and panting quickly.

Josh felt a gentle nudge against his thigh and moaned. If Jacob got any hotter than this, he wouldn't be able to handle it...but he wanted to see Jacob hot. He wanted to be taken over by his lover's body. He wanted all of Jacob, everything, now, no matter what.

"Josh...oooh..."

The rub and thrust and shudder of his lover's body, can't get enough, never get enough- "Oh my..."

He opened his eyes to see Jacob nuzzling in the crook of his shoulder, mouth licking and sucking at the nape of his neck. They were slow, gentle moves, but Josh didn't want slow right now, he wanted everything, forget they were in front of a fireplace in someone else's apartment. "Jacob..."

The young man completely pulled his body away (leaving Josh to whimper as the nudging left him) and just lay there for a while, breathing heavily. Josh wanted to reach out and draw him back in, feeling hotter than the fire could ever be, but only asked, "Are you OK?"

"Close your eyes," Jacob whispered.

"What?"

"Just trust me." The young rocker reached a hand in and shut his lover's eyelids for him.

"Jacob...what's going on? Don't tease me like this..." He was ready to beg and plead for mercy when...

He felt his lover's body slide behind him, legs wrapping around his, one arm around his shoulder and the other lingering just below his waist, hips grinding against him, lips pressing juicy kisses on his neck...

Josh didn't dare open his eyes. "Jacob...oh my god, oh Jacob, oh yes, I-" he groaned as he felt the hands caressing him into a shivering ecstasy (How can this be happening he's only touching me we didn't even-)

His heart was racing, chest tightening so much he felt like he couldn't breathe

(Don't stop Jacob this is so good- uhh!)

even opening his mouth to release a faint cry of delight was enough to drain the energy from him and make his already-dark world even darker...

***

Josh didn't know how long he'd been out for- could've been minutes, could've been an hour. All he knew was he was awakening to the dying crackling of the fire and Jacob leaving wet lip marks on his face.

"Wakey-wakey, Josh," his lover's voice purred, "you still with us?"

The older man finally opened his eyes completely and kissed the tip of Jacob's nose. Seeing that beautiful body lying beside him on the rug, the firelight making dancing shadows on his skin was a perfect sight.

The whole situation was perfect, except for one detail.

Josh was still feeling someone's body behind him, but Jacob was in front of him.

"Surprise, Josh," he heard Kalan's voice whisper and felt a soft kiss behind his ear.

"What the-" The older man clutched his heart to keep it from leaping out of him, and rolled so he was on his back. Sure enough, there was Kalan with arms still around him, hair tousled like he'd been making love most of the afternoon, blue eyes half-closed in sultriness, pink lips an almost inviting pout-

Josh could only turn back to Jacob and ask, "Is there something you're not telling me?"

Jacob chuckled, propped himself up so he could scoot closer to the bodies, and kissed Josh's cheek. "Don't look at me, he only snuck in here and was all 'shh' at me," he put a finger to his lips to demonstrate. "Lucky you kept your eyes closed." He kissed Josh again as if in gratitude. Kalan sat up and stretched, and for the first time, Josh caught himself seriously looking at the young man's body as it moved. What was that saying about poetry in motion?

"I would've joined in sooner, but it took a while to find those marshmallows," Kalan said with a laugh and draped his arms on Josh's waist again. Jacob left a sloppy kiss on the young man's hand, and Josh expected himself to be jealous as he saw this- but he didn't. "What say we go get some of that hot chocolate, huh?" Kalan asked like a drink was the last thing on his mind, wrapping his long, thin legs around Josh's and tickling his fingers over the contour of the older man's jeans.

Jacob chuckled and peppered kisses along Josh's forehead. "I don't think Josh wants to get up yet," he said oh-too-slyly.

"Uh..." The older man raised his eyebrows and trailed off in confusion.

"Heh, I can wait." Kalan snuggled himself in the crook of Josh's arm as if this was normal for him, shut his sleepy blue eyes, and sighed peacefully. Damn if he didn't look so cute all cozy like that...

Josh turned his head back to the young rocker and whispered, "OK, so what exactly are we doing about-"

Jacob firmly but gently put two fingers on his lover's lips to silence him. "I'm not that worried. Why should you be?"

Before Josh could utter anything else, Jacob leaned in with a deep, full kiss, and slid his hands back up the older man's shirt. Josh only closed his eyes, moaned fiercely at the touches, and placed his free hand on his friend's back to rub around. In some situations, it was better to just listen to Jacob.
