Lachlan's words in the hospital weeks ago were still rattling around in the twisted connections of his brain.
"I'm not asking you to, and we can always pick that competition up later if you want to," Lachlan replied, nibbling on his ear lobe. The sensation of it streaked down Apollo's neck, making him bite back a whimper. "You have had an exhausting and stressful couple of days. I'm offering to help you relax without expecting anything in return. Just say yes."
"Yes? Ah, what did you have in mind?" Apollo stammered out. He might never be in a position to claim Lachlan as his mate, but he could enjoy him for a little bit, right?
Lachlan pulled Apollo against him until his back was pressed against Lachlan's thickly muscled chest. Apollo wanted to lay his head on it and stay there forever. All of his distracting thoughts about Lachlan's body were immediately silenced by Lachlan's hand stroking down his stomach and over the bulge tenting Apollo's boxers.
"Oh, god," he said, his brain whiting out with each soft, exploring touch.
"Do I need to put a hand over your mouth? We wouldn't want to wake up your murderous brother now, would we?" Lachlan whispered hotly in Apollo's ear.
"I'll be good," Apollo panted. He wouldnotcome from some light fondling, no matter who was doing it to him.
"Hmm, we'll see about that," Lachlan said and slipped his hand into Apollo's boxers. His palms were a little rough with calluses, but they were hot against Apollo's skin and felt better than he could have imagined. Lachlan pulled Apollo's dick free and sucked in a breath. "I knew you would be big, but goddamn, are you pretty too."
"Are you scared of a big dick?" Apollo teased, making Lachlan laugh huskily in his ear.
"I don't know enough to be scared. I've never been bottomed, sweetheart," he said, surprising Apollo. A growl that was more dragon rattled through his chest and was a sound of pure possession. Topping Lachlan Ironwood was going to be its new goal in life.
"Is that a good sound?" Lachlan asked, palming Apollo's cock again.
"Good sound," Apollo managed to say. "Horny dragon sounds."
Lachlan's other hand moved to tease Apollo's nipple. "You're so soft everywhere."
"Oh, gods, are you going to get me off, or are you just toying with me?" Apollo whimpered, feeling overstimulated in the best possible way.
"I'm going to do both because I don't know if you will let me touch you again, and I need to commit this to memory," Lachlan said. He gathered the pre-cum that was already leaking from Apollo and slicked his aching dick down with it. Apollo bit his tongue, trying and failing not to make a sound. "Shhh, baby. I don't want anyone to hear those sexy little sounds but me."
"Can't…help…" Apollo stammered, his eyes rolling in the back of his head when Lachlan ran his thumb over the head of his dick.
Lachlan's hand moved from Apollo's nipple to cover his mouth. "Now you can scream as much as you like, baby." Apollo tried to sass him about calling him 'baby,' but it came out as a muffled groan. Lachlan only laughed and ran his tongue over the edge of Apollo's ear.
"Look at how needy you are for me," Lachlan whispered, staring at his hand on Apollo's dick. Apollo would never forget how that big brown hand looked wrapped tight around him. "You want to come?"
Apollo nodded, thrusting himself up into Lachlan's hand, trying to get him to go harder or faster. Justsomethingother than the lazy strokes that were edging him to a point of madness.
"You're so fucking sexy, Apollo. Every part of you. If you let me, I would worship this body for hours. I'd find every little spot that made you quiver and shake. I would break you apart and put you back together," Lachlan growled, rubbing his hard dick against Apollo's ass with every stroke of his hand. "I'd fuck this sweet ass of yours until you could see sounds."
Fuccckkk.Apollo was groaning under Lachlan's hand as his brain and body melted.
"I'd take such good care of you that you would never want anyone else," Lachlan said, and his strokes tightened and began to jerk Apollo at a pace no dick could survive. "Come for me, Apollo. Let me see how pretty you are when you lose control."
Lachlan's hand around Apollo's mouth tightened as his orgasm burned like fire through his veins. Teeth clamped around his ear lobe, and Apollo was done for. His release burst through him, coating Lachlan's hand as he gentled his stroking.
"So fucking beautiful," Lachlan said, voice full of awe as he stared at the mess over his hand.
He released his other hand from Apollo's mouth. Apollo took a shuddery breath, his body still shaking from the intensity of his orgasm. Lachlan shifted and got up. Apollo rolled on his back,his dick still hanging out, and he didn't think he could move. Lachlan ducked into the ensuite and came back with a damp hand towel.
"You want me to clean you up?" he asked.
Apollo shook his head. "I can do it." Lachlan passed him the towel, and Apollo saw that he hadn't washed the spunk off his other hand. "Ah, you missed a spot."
"This is mine," Lachlan replied and headed back to the ensuite. "And I have filthy plans for it."
"What plans?" Apollo stammered, but Lachlan only laughed and disappeared from sight. The dragon in him snarled, and Apollo got up to follow him.
