“What other things?” he asked. “Do you want to tell me about those first?”
“No.” Adam frowned. “I told you what I wanted when I got home.”
“You’re not the worst dad or worst boyfriend.” Cooper pushed Adam’s hair back. “And you’re not the worst friend.”
“I want you to make me believe it.”
Oh.
Cooper understood what Adam was asking of him, what Adam needed. And Cooper could oblige. He would be happy to. This was honestly when he loved Adam the most. Not when Adam was weak, but when Adam was comfortable enough to be vulnerable. When he felt safe enough with Cooper to let down his guard and ask for what he really needed. Even though he sometimes asked without words, Cooper understood.
“You’re a good boyfriend,” he whispered.
Adam’s frown deepened. “I’m not, though. I broke up with you ten years ago and then we just…”
“Adam.” Cooper took Adam’s face in his hands, tilting it upward so he was forced to look in Cooper’s eyes. “No talking right now.”
Adam answered with a huff. Not quite agreement, but he’d take it.
“You’re a good boyfriend. You’re a good dom.” He stroked his fingers over Adam’s cheeks. “You’re a good submissive.”
“I’m not, though,” Adam protested again.
Cooper exhaled, frustration mounting. He didn’t know if Adam was deliberately being petulant or not, but either way…he had a solution for it.
“Lie down.” He shoved Adam onto his back and climbed onto the bed, crawling his way up Adam’s body until he straddled his chest. “This isn’t a conversation. You didn’t ask for a conversation.”
Adam opened his mouth to argue again, but Cooper pinched it closed.
“You didn’t ask for a conversation,” he repeated. “So you don’t get a say.”
Cooper let go of Adam’s mouth, and when Adam opened it again, Cooper quickly and decisively tugged down his pants, shoving his soft cock into Adam’s mouth “I said you don’t get a say.” Cooper arranged himself so he could better sit against Adam’s tongue, and he waited while the fire in Adam’s eyes dulled to an agreeable kind of complacency.
“You are stubborn to a fault, Adam Yates.” He pressed the tips of his fingers on the base of his shaft, pointing his thickening cock down Adam’s throat. “But you’re the best man I know.”
Adam’s eyes looked like he didn’t believe Cooper, but he swallowed, lapping his tongue against the underside of Cooper’s cock.
“Do you think I would waste my time with someone who wasn’t good for me? After everything I told you?” Cooper asked, shifting his fingers to loop around his shaft. He gave a small pull, groaning as his cock inflated, filling Adam’s mouth. “The answer is no, baby. I don’t give myself to people who don’t bring something to my life. You know that. I don’t bother with people who…”
Cooper trailed off on a groan, Adam sealing his lips around Cooper’s cock and giving him a rough suck.
“People who can’t suck my cock as good as you do,” Cooper whispered, the original words completely lost to his brain. “You’re perfect when you’re on your knees, baby. When you’re on your back for me. You’re even better when that tight hole of yours sucks my cock inside of you.”
Adam rumbled, the noise vibrating from his throat up the length of Cooper’s erection. He wasn’t going to be able to prove as much of a point as he wanted with the way Adam’s tongue and throat teased around his dick.
“I could spend the rest of your life like this,” Cooper went on, the words falling out of his mouth as he started to thrust his hips forward, fucking into Adam’s wide open mouth. “You looking up at me with those big eyes while your mouth is stretched to the brim with my dick. Goddamn, baby.”
Cooper threaded his fingers into Adam’s hair, pulling his head up just enough so that he could slide deeper into his throat. “I’ll tell you every day forever that you’re the best…the best parts of me, of us. Of everyone you know. You’re everything, Adam. Perfect and scared and desperate and so…”
Adam’s lips sealed around the base of his cock and Cooper came. Hard and unexpected, his cock pulsed against the roof of Adam’s mouth. He shot onto the back of Adam’s tongue, and he pictured his cum sliding straight down Adam’s throat. He tightened his hold on Adam’s hair and his entire body trembled with the force of his orgasm. Adam made a choking sound, but Cooper only held him tighter, pushed his cock deeper into Adam’s mouth, until the heat of Adam’s tongue was too much for him to handle.
He shoved Adam’s head back against the pillows and pulled his cock free. Adam sucked in a breath, gasping as trails of spit and cum kept Cooper’s cock connected to his lips. Cooper slid down, crashing their mouths together before Adam had time to swallow. Adam groaned against him, flipping them so Cooper was on his back. Adam leaned up, cheeks tracked with tears, and he gathered spit and cum into his mouth. He raised his eyebrows and Cooper opened, sticking out his tongue.
Adam spit the puddle of wetness at him, and Cooper let it slide down his throat before slanting their mouths back together and kissing Adam with all of the ferocity he could manage. He used his body weight and flipped them back, pinning Adam to the bed by his wrists and staring down. Both of them struggled for air, and Adam didn’t fight when Cooper’s fingers constricted around his wrists.
“I don’t want to bring your son into our bedroom,” he whispered, dipping down and nipping at Adam’s earlobe. “But I need you to know you are not a failure. You’ve done the best you can. In all things. And you’ll keep doing the best you can. I know it.”
“Did you mean what you said?” Adam’s words came out soft and hoarse.
