Anthony half-laughs, his nose lightly brushing up Gabriel’s neck. There’s something about the way Gabriel talks of taking him apart that always makes Anthony’s stomach do a flip. As a man dedicated to putting up walls, it should take more than a pretty, clever boy to tear them down. But Gabriel is so good at doing exactly that, and it’s a relief to fall to pieces in his arms.

He growls softly and lightly bites down on Gabriel’s shoulder as he arches his hips. Capturing his mouth again, Anthony rolls his hips in return. They should finish undressing in a moment, but for now he just enjoys how easily their bodies tangle together.
