The shudder that went through Graham’s body at his words made Thad feel a touch of smug pride, but when Graham liftedhis head, reaching down to circle his shaft with one hand, gripping tightly, Thad really felt good.
“I can’t …” Graham let out a trembling exhale. “I can’t handle much more. Not unless you want me to come before you get inside me.”
Thad didn’t, so he eased up, giving Graham’s hole a few more loving licks before he reluctantly sat back.
“Okay,” he said, sliding his hands along Graham’s thighs and coaxing, “On your side.”
Graham shifted on the bed, hesitating before he lay down. “Facing you or away from you?”
“Away,” Thad said, even though he hated the thought of not being able to see Graham’s face the first time he pushed inside. “It’ll be easier for you.”
Something flickered across Graham’s face like he was about to argue, but Thad reached out and stroked his cheek with the pad of his thumb. “Trust me, baby,” he said.
Graham nodded and settled on his side. Thad grabbed the lube and lay beside him, pressing soft kisses to the back of Graham’s neck and shoulders as he squeezed some of the gel out.
Thad nudged Graham’s upper thigh forward to give him space to work and gently stroked two fingers over Graham’s hole, petting him for a moment before he sank them inside. The earlier prep had relaxed Graham enough to allow an easy glide. He was so hot and wet around Thad’s fingers, the walls of his body clinging to them.
Thad had fingered Graham plenty of times before, so it didn’t take long before Graham fully relaxed and Thad was able to begin gently thrusting two digits inside.
The noise Graham made when Thad added a third finger made Thad smile. “You like that?”
“Fuck.” Graham closed his eyes, rocking his hips to meet every gentle thrust Thad made, which made his ass rub against Thad’s dick. “Fuck that’sgood.”
Thad’s cock ached already, the wet glide of the head dragging against Graham’s ass sending a shudder through him every time it grazed his skin.
“Are you ready for me, baby?” Thad whispered, spreading his fingers and feeling the answering shudder go through Graham.
“Yeah.” Graham craned his neck. “Make love to me, Thad.”
Emotion slammed into Thad so hard it left him breathless.
Did Graham feel it too then? Was that what he’d really been saying earlier when he’d talked about trusting him? About them working together?
Shaking, Thad eased his fingers away and slicked his cock. He carefully lined himself up and pressed forward.
He sank into Graham’s body slowly, his head swimming at the slick glide and the tight grip. The sensation was almost overwhelming.
In the past, Thad would have laughed at anyone who called sex making love.
It had always been fucking, pure and simple.
But with Graham … it trulywassomething else. Something sweeter, something more meaningful.
Thad let out a quiet, shaky breath, overwhelmed by the idea. What had he done to deserve this?
Thad pressed a kiss to Graham’s shoulder as he bottomed out, his hips pressed snugly to Graham’s ass. He rested his forehead against Graham’s shoulder, breathing in and out slowly, as if that would be enough to keep from popping off immediately.
He’d had a lot of sex in his life but this … Graham’s soft little sounds, the rock of his hips … they wereeverything.
“Is that okay?” Thad asked, stroking his thumb across the bony crest of Graham’s hip. “How do you feel?”
“Yeah. It’s good. Just … a little …”
Graham didn’t finish but Thad knew what he meant. The strange, wonderful overwhelming feeling. The intensity of it.
So rather than thrust like he wanted, Thad held still as he pressed soft, wet kisses to Graham’s neck. Nibbles and licks and the barest scrape of teeth until Graham was shivering against him, his hips moving restlessly.
Only then did Thad slowly pull out and ease back in with gentle, teasing strokes Graham responded to beautifully. After a moment, Graham moved in tandem with him and let out a shuddering breath.
