Page 4 of Ex Meridian
His pleas fell on deaf ears.
“I’m about to show you the epitome of imagination.” Ex raised one brow. “Because I know exactly how many lives you’ve sold that made yourich. Faces I’ll never be able to forget.”
Tears and snot ran down Caesar’s ugly face.
“Stop your bitch-ass crying. Have some pride…because there will be no mercy.”
“You didn’t have to kill my brother, man,” Caesar bawled, glaring at Meridian. “He was never a part of any of this.”
Ex’s voice was calm. “Do not mourn your brother. You’ll be together real soon.”
Ex turned his back on the pungent stench of urine and desperation.
Meridian sat at the table with one leg crossed, watching Ex with a hard, sexy expression.
He didn’t stop advancing until he straddled Meridian’s lap.
He removed his gloves and tossed them on the table, then took Meridian’s wrists and removed his.
Those dark eyes held him, ruling his world. His partner’s silence and discipline made his dick jerk in his thick cargo pants.
He ran his fingertips under the silk lapels of Meridian’s midnight black jacket, then reached and lifted the covers from the plates, never breaking eye contact.
Ex bit his bottom lip against the shards of desire piercing his armor.
An array of knives and torture instruments filled one plate and prefilled syringes crowded the other.
Meridian cupped his chin, making Ex tremble from his dark touch.
“Have I pleased you, Xavier?”
That fucking voice.
“Greatly,” he rasped. “I’ve never had a valentine.”
Meridian’s chest vibrated under his palms, his irises hooded by thick, ink-black lashes. Ex didn’t need to look into his partner’s eyes to fall into his abyss.
He ground his hips harder, making his sinful lover clutch them in response.
“Show me how much,” Meridian demanded.
There was but one man in the world who could tell him what to do…and continue to exist.
“Show me, dammit.” Meridian yanked him closer.
Ex closed the last inch between them and pressed his lips to Meridian’s, his touch tender and appreciative.
Their gazes stayed locked as Meridian wove one hand beneath Ex’s vest and the other into his short hair. Meridian lowered his eyes, his hold almost painful.
“Sometimes, Xavier, you are too lethally beautiful to look at.”
Ex lowered his chin and let Meridian caress his cheek.
“Marshall, I exist because you breathe.”
Ex took his partner by the chin and lifted his head until those piercing eyes stared back at him, making his heart bang against his ribcage.
Meridian dragged his palm around Ex’s throat and controlled their movements, his stiffness digging into his ass. Meridian locked onto his mouth, sweeping his warm tongue inside.
