Chapter Twenty-One
“Aeren? Do you want a drink?” Lamar asked as he hung his coat in the closet. He’d enjoyed their dinner out more than any date in recent memory. That thought amused him since they’d only stopped by a local chain restaurant for burgers after Aeren admitted he didn’t really enjoy fancier places. “Aeren?” Lamar called out, turning to see that he was alone in the living room.
“In here,” Aeren’s soft voice came back.
Lamar’s blood quickened as he followed the sound down the hall to his bedroom. “You’re tired?” he started to ask, but the words stumbled on his tongue and came out as a disjointed collection of consonants and vowels when he rounded the corner and found Aeren waiting for him.
The blankets had been pulled to the foot of the bed where they pooled by a small pile of discarded clothing. Aeren was lying on his back, his feet flat and hips raised as he made good use of the lube they hadn’t gotten around to using the night before. Opening himself up with one hand, his pink-tipped alabaster cock pressing rigidly against his belly.
“Oh.” Lamar’s breath escaped in a long sigh as he watched the slender fingers pressing inside Aeren’s tight hole. “Skipping straight to dessert, are we?”
“Yes, please,” Aeren whispered, a shudder running through Aeren’s body as Lamar kicked off his shoes and stalked toward him, shedding his clothes on the way.
Stepping out of his jeans, Lamar climbed onto the bed gloriously naked. He stretched Aeren’s legs flat as he crawled over his flushed body, stopping to nuzzle the soft golden curls at the base of his erection. “Mmm,” he growled against the soft skin of Aeren’s thighs before licking up his length. “Delicious.”
He lifted his head in amusement when small hands tugged ineffectively at his short hair. Aeren was staring down at him, but couldn’t seem to find the words to express himself. “Yes?”
“I, ah, that is..” Aeren stuttered, screwing his eyes closed as his dick started to droop.
Lamar rose up to sit back on his heels as he straddled Aeren’s thighs, concern washing over him at Aeren’s obvious distress. “Hey, it’s okay.” He stroked his palms down the outside of Aeren’s thighs. “We don’t have to do anything.” He moved to the side of the bed, reaching for the covers on the floor. “We can snuggle.”
“No!” Aeren nearly shouted as he lunged forward to clutch at the air, causing Lamar to stop and stare at him. “That’s not..” Aeren dropped his head back to the pillow, trembling.
“Baby, you have to tell me what you’re thinking,” he said softly, laying his hand on Aeren’s foot. “I can’t read your mind.” Except, a sudden insight suggested that maybe he could. “Is it..are you trying to tell me that you don’t want my mouth? That you want to come with me inside you tonight?”
Aeren’s eyes flew open. He nodded emphatically, his dick swelling again.
Lamar chuckled and crawled back over him, letting his weight press the smaller body into the mattress as he brushed his lips over Aeren’s before moving down to his neck. “You know,” he said conversationally in between dropping kisses on Aeren’s smooth skin, “If you want to be intimate with me, you really should be able to talk to me. If you’re scared,it's not going to be good for either of us.”
“I’m not scared,” Aeren managed to whisper before Lamar pressed his lips to the pulse pounding in his neck, making him moan. “Not like you mean.”
“Okay.” Lamar switched his attention to the other side of his neck, hoping Aeren would continue. “What’s wrong then?”
“I don’t want to disappoint you again,” Aeren choked out, angling his neck to give Lamar’s questing lips better access.
“Again?” Lamar chuckled, letting the vibration drag his teeth over the sensitive skin behind Aeren’s ear. “When do you think you disappointed me?” A telling pause made him pull back to see Aeren’s eyes. “Do you mean last night?”
When Aeren gave a hesitant nod, Lamar burst out laughing. “Oh, baby, no,” he assured Aeren when he could finally speak again. “First off, there are lots of ways to have sex without penetration.” He licked Aeren’s lips and pecked at them. Lowering his voice, he growled into Aeren’s ear, “Second, last night was so fucking good that I jerked off thinking about it in the shower earlier.”
“Really?” Aeren’s hopeful word was still a whisper, but at least he was talking.
“Really,” Lamar confirmed, rolling his hips against Aeren’s. “Does it feel to you like I’m not interested?”
Aeren swallowed hard and shook his head.
“Good.” Lamar bit down gently on his shoulder. “Is there anything you don’t want me to do? Anywhere you don’t want me to touch?”
“God, no!” Aeren’s blurted response made Lamar’s heart sing at the same time it made his cock throb.
“Good boy,” Lamar said with another teasing roll of his hips. “Now, if you really want me to stop, say avocado. Otherwise, you lie down and do as you’re told, understand?” When Aeren gasped and nodded, Lamar moved over him again, this time dragging his stubble over Aeren’s pebbled nipples on his way back to suck the sweet pink dick that he’d been pulled away from earlier. When Aeren stiffened under him, Lamar released it long enough to pepper kisses on his tummy. “It doesn’t matter if you come, baby. We’ll just start over.”
It was nearly an hour later that Lamar finally lined his cock up against the loosened, spit-soaked ring of muscle that guarded Aeren’s entrance. Somewhere along the way, his partner had lost his shyness and tried everything from begging to threatening to cursing to move them along. Well, everything except mentioning a certain bumpy green fruit. Still, Lamar had refused to be hurried as he licked and sucked, fingered and teased Aeren’s deliciously responsive body before sliding his painfully hard cock into Aeren’s tight hole, one agonizing inch at a time.
As the front of his thighs settled gently against Aeren’s ass, he gave a deep, shuddering sigh that reverberated along Lamar’s cock and spread through his limbs.
“You okay?” Lamar wiped away a lone tear as Aeren blinked his eyes open. He held himself still as Aeren panted for breath, allowing him time to adjust to the intrusion.
Aeren reached up and stroked Lamar’s cheek, smiling when the stubble rasped under his fingertip. He nodded, swallowing hard. “I didn’t know..” he tried to explain before giving up with a gasping shrug. “So good.”
