How exactly did Riley expect Liam not to fall completely and irrevocably in love with him, doing things like that? Those lips touched his chest, and he swore he could feel the warmth from that kiss suffuse straight through him and pool in his chest, enveloping his cracked and wounded heart and reminding it how to beat.
Then he was in Riley's lap, and that was a wonderful development. Far more naked, nothing between them and he wanted to disappear entirely into the other man, as if he could wrap himself in the feeling of being wanted by someone good and gentle and kind, in the feeling of being warm and close and alive. Oh god for the first time in as far back as he could be remember, he felt alive and was grateful for it.
A low laugh of his own and he let his hands run up Riley's chest, up until he could wind his arms around his neck. "No pedestals then. I'm not really a fan of heights anyway." Riley might well be an angel, but even angels could fall. And he wouldn't want that for the other man. "And I like you right here, on the ground with me."
