BLURB:
Chris and Andreas are opposites in character.
Both fear the other wants to move on.
Can being stranded on a mountainside resolve the doubt that is threatening to tear them apart?
“THAT’S
IT, babe. Look at me.” I raked my fingers through Andreas’s hair and
yanked his head back. Still leaning over the sink, he obediently stared
at me in the bathroom mirror. Our blue eyes connected, pupils fully
dilated with arousal. He loved it when I treated him rough like this. I
tilted forward over his back and nipped on Andreas’s ear lobe. “Keep
your eyes on mine as I enter you,” I purred, my breath long and moist
against his heated skin.
Andreas,
as usual, complied. He loved eye contact when we made love. Pulling
back slightly, I stroked my cock along his crease, poised and erect,
ready to push into him. Lining up with his well-prepared hole, I
returned my gaze to his and eased in gently. With each inch, his eyes
widened a fraction, his jaw dropped lower, and he gasped louder.
I kissed along his shoulder. “Oh yes, babe. You feel so good.”
His
eyes remained fixed on the mirror—on me—as I moved in and out of his
warmth. Deep, slow thrusts, accompanied by my slaps to the smooth, pale
skin on his ass, resulted in groans from deep within his chest.
“Yes, harder, Chris.”
I obeyed his wish, and made Andreas yelp with pleasure.
He wrapped his hand around his cock and stroked fast. “Gonna come soon!”
Grunting
with each forceful push, I gripped his hair tighter, holding his head
in place, and squeezed his now pink rump. Two more thrusts and I came
hard inside him, moaning. My heart pounded against my ribcage, and waves
of heated pleasure ebbed through me.
“Oh my God, I’m coming.” His voiced echoed around the small hotel bathroom.
I grinned. What must the people in the next room be thinking?
Andreas
stood upright, his hand moving rapidly over his cock. He shot his load
into the sink and squirted over the marble surround. The third and
fourth jets sprayed up on the mirror and trickled down.
Despite
panting loudly, we managed to giggle. “Oh babe, you’re so hot when you
come like that.” I kissed his neck and eased out of him. “And being so
noisy too—I love it.”
I
dropped the condom into the bin and stepped into the bathtub. “Need to
get a move on.” I turned on the shower and soaped myself down.
Andreas
wiped the remaining lube off his crack, had a piss, and returned to the
bedroom, wiggling his ass at me on his way out. I grinned at the red
marks still evident on his naked butt.
I
dried myself down with one of the fluffy white towels, and then joined
Andreas. Now sporting a pair of shorts, he sat on the balcony with his
feet perched on a chair, a book in his lap. I loved him dearly, but he
seemed to have his nose in a book twenty-four seven these days. Every
time I came home from work or back from one of my sports clubs, he’d be
there reading. Either that or engrossed in his decoupage craft, or
whatever his latest hobby was.
After
dressing in my cycling gear, I packed up my rucksack with the
provisions I needed for the day, and then went to join him on the
balcony.
“Mmm…
looks like it’s going to be another warm day.” I looked out across the
hotel pool and gardens, to the mountainside beyond. The sky was clear
and blue. Wispy clouds drifted around the snow-covered peaks in the
distance. Lush green grass and woods filled the lower slopes near the
resort. Cable cars, looking like dots in the distance, moved slowly
upward. Summer season in an Alpine resort was my idea of heaven: outdoor
physical activity, plenty of fresh air, and hot sex when I returned to
the hotel in the evening. Pity Andreas didn’t share my passion—apart
from the sex, that is.
Andreas
glanced up from his book. “You should have a nice day for exploring.”
He returned his gaze to the page, seemingly oblivious to the scenic view
in front of us. “Rain is forecast later this evening, but you should
miss that.”
A
cool breeze blew around the damp hair at the base of my skull. “That’s
good. Can you put some sunscreen on the back of my neck, hun? It’s
stinging a little today.”
“Mmm…
sure. It looks a little red.” Andreas leaned over and grabbed the tube
from the patio table. He wiped the moisture from the back of my neck and
applied the cream thoroughly.
I
turned to face him, and he coated my face, neck, and the skin exposed
above the vee of my T-shirt. A sad look crossed his eyes.
I
stroked a wayward hair out of his sight. “You’ll be okay on your own?” I
felt a little guilty, but he could have come with me if he wanted.
In the distance, cowbells chimed and a motorbike sped past the front of the hotel, spoiling the early morning peace and quiet.
Andreas
sighed. “Yeah, I’ll be fine. Got plenty to keep me occupied here all
day. I’m used to keeping myself busy anyway.” His voice trailed off on
the last sentence.
“I’ll see you later this afternoon, then.” I kissed him swiftly. “Have a good day.”
“Yeah, you too. Make sure you grab some breakfast on your way.” Andreas pulled me in for a hug. “Take care. Love you.”
“Love
you too. Later.” I scooped up my rucksack, checked for my phone in my
pocket, and marched out of the hotel room without a backward glance.
After
retrieving my mountain bike from the hotel’s bike park and buying a
meat-filled pastry from the local bakery, I cycled to the cable car
station at the edge of Saalbach. Pleased I’d made it before the manic
tourist rush, I managed to grab a gondola for myself with plenty of room
for the bike.
I
took out the still-warm pastry from its wrapping and wolfed it down.
Most guests would be eating their breakfast in hotel dining rooms
throughout the resort, as would Andreas soon—alone. I liked getting out
and about early to avoid the crowds. Andreas preferred to take his time
and stay in the hotel for most of the day. Sometimes I thought he might
be agoraphobic, but then he’d go shopping for our food, and he’d spend
time with the people in his craft and book clubs. He wasn’t particularly
fond of sports. Our friends always commented on how different we were,
personality-wise. Some even called him a wimp and a sissy. I responded
with my clichéd science statement of opposites attract to shut them up. Andreas was perfect for me. We got along well, hardly ever argued, and the sex was always hot and steamy. Yum! Just like this morning’s session.
Spending
time apart doing our own thing only added to our closeness when we were
together. We didn’t get jealous or possessive, and didn’t push our
interests down each other’s throats. He was happy doing his own thing
while I got on with my adventurous pastimes. I’d never get him to
paraglide or canoe, but then I wouldn’t knit or weed the garden.
Andreas
was drop-dead gorgeous. People always asked if we were brothers, which I
took as a compliment. We had the same dark hair coloring, were of
similar height, and I was only more muscular because of all the physical
activity I took part in. My sexy Andreas managed to keep in good shape:
he was in charge of the food shopping and cooking in our house, and
made sure we both ate healthily.
I
brushed the greasy pastry crumbs off my T-shirt and grinned, knowing
he’d scold me later when I told him what I’d eaten for breakfast.
The
cable car moved swiftly up the mountainside, giving fabulous views of
Austria’s Hinterglemm valley. I turned around and looked back toward the
hotel and to the mountains behind, where I’d spent the previous day
exploring. I spotted the hut where I’d stopped for lunch—a small speck
of brown surrounded by shades of green—and the winding tracks I’d
followed on my way down. I wished Andreas could share the fabulous views
and enjoy the ride alongside me. I’d take photos from the top for him,
but that wouldn’t be the same as experiencing it for himself.
As
the gondola approached the highest cable car station, I positioned my
bike. As soon as the doors opened, I shot out. I checked the time of the
last returning gondola, noting I had over seven hours to explore—plenty
of time.
The
panoramic view from this height was breathtaking. I wheeled the bike
with one hand and stood on the viewing platform, taking photos with my
phone. I selected a selfie and sent it in a text to Andreas.
Spectacular views. Wish you were here. Later. Xx

REVIEWS FOR
OPPOSITES ATTRACT by Lily G. Blunt ♥♥♥♥♥
Another
absolutely beautiful story! Both Chris and Andreas are such interesting
characters! This story was well written and suspenseful. I was on the
edge of my seat to see how this came out and really wanted more!
*****
I
loved this story. It began with Chris and Andreas, who are as different
as chalk and cheese. Chris is the sporty outdoor person, and Andreas
comes across as someone who is quiet and an introvert, together on
holiday. Andreas thought the holiday was so they could spend some time
together, but Chris had decided to book himself on excursions and
continue his sporty outdoor pursuits, so this meant Andreas was alone in
the hotel room every day. This then gave Andreas time to think about
his relationship with Chris, and this in turn gave him very grave
doubts. Chris just assumed everything in their life was rosy, until
something happened to him, that made him take a good long look at his
life and how he treated Andreas, and he soon realised he could be in
jeopardy of losing Andreas forever…….. do they manage to be honest with
each other, and talk things out….. I’m not saying, but what I will say
is that this is quite a hot read.
*****
This
was just a fantastic book from the first short to the last short. I
usually don't give 5 Stars to anthologies on the grounds that I am
reading a huge book containing short stories, but this was different.
The best news of this collection was that each one was so well written, I had no cause for complaint.
