They spent the next few minutes in an easy silence. Cade got on the couch and snuggled into the cushions, angling himself to watch Rio fry their sandwiches. He was having a hard time keeping his eyes off Rio, so he forced himself to switch on the TV instead, flicking through the channels would distract him a second. A news report coming in from the Middle East had him making a mental note to tell the analysts in the War - Room to look for chatter on shifting ranks within Hezbollah.

“Here you go,” Rio held a plate over the back of the couch, along with a mug of coffee.

“That looks better than any grilled cheese I’ve made.”

“I French toasted it.”

“Smells amazing.”

Rio grinned at the compliment, and handed over cutlery, before grabbing a plate for himself. He took a seat on the couch next to Cade, careful not to tip the plates or spill the coffee, “What are we watching?”

“News,” Cade handed over the remote, “but you find something you like. I don’t want to think about work right now.”

“You might not like the stuff I do.” Rio sipped his coffee, placed the mug on the cushion next to him, and picked up the remote.

“Why?” Cade swallowed around the mouthful of sandwich. “Don’t tell me you want to watch Barbie?”

“Um,” Rio stopped the channels flicking on a program, “Nope, cartoons okay?”

“Fuck, yeah, I love Tom and Jerry.”

“Me too.” Rio finished the final bite of his sandwich, put the plate on the floor, and leaned back into the couch, sipping his coffee. Cade quickly followed suit, both of them more than happy to steal these stolen moments together. To laugh, to chill, to enjoy just being two people watching something as simple as cartoons in the middle of the night.

Rio’s family, Cade’s job, and all the reasons they shouldn’t be here, together, in this moment in time didn’t matter. All that did was enjoying the quiet together.

Rio tried to watch the cartoons. Tried to keep his focus on the animated cat and mouse walloping each other with skillets, but damn, it was hard to focus when out of the corner of his eye he could see the beautiful man sprawled on the couch, his sweats low on his hips, his inked-up arm folded under his head.Behave... but…

“I think we’ll fit if you want to lie next to me and get some more sleep?” Cade shifted until he lay on his side.

“If I lie next to you, sleeping is the last thing I want to do.”You said that out loud.

“What do you want to do?”

Rio’s cock hardened to stone in his jeans, he was desperate to taste, desperate to claim fully what he wanted, but his movements were hesitant. “Move back to where you were.” He smiled at Cade when the other man immediately did as he asked. Rio moved to rope tying the waistband of Cade’s sweats and slowly undid it. Cade watched with heated eyes and lifted his hips as Rio tugged the pants down his legs. He removed Cade’s combat boots, threw them to the carpet, then pulled the material the rest of the way down, dropping them on the floor next to his boots.

Cade interlaced his hands behind his head as he watched Rio reach for his boxers. He met his gaze. Rio watched him like a cornered animal, as if he expected Cade to lose his shit. He took a steadying breath before Rio pulled the boxers down his legs again and off the end of his feet. His dick sprang free, the length hard, long, veiny, and damn it, it ached. Cade ached, he wanted what he hoped Rio was offering.

Rio wrapped his mouth around the shaft, his hand holding the root as he swiped his tongue over the slit. Cade jerked his hips, his breath whooshing out of him. Rio grinned and licked his tongue again over the head, tasting the salty pre-cum that was starting to leak in response.

“Mmh,” Cade ran his hand over Rio’s hair, fisting its short length in one hand as Rio hollowed his cheeks out, taking his dick farther down his throat. He hummed around the length, sending the vibrations through Cade’s dick to his balls.

“Babe, you keep this up, I’m going to come in your mouth.”

Yes, please do, want to taste.

Ignoring his words, Rio licked over the head of his shaft, feeling triumphant when Cade’s hips twitched again. He sucked harder, moving his hand at the base of Cade’s dick in a slight twist that had him cursing under his breath.

Rio mixed it up between twisting, licking, and tugging on his balls until Cade writhed beneath him. Every time Cade’s hips rose, Rio sucked the head of his dick into the back of his throat, swallowing around the head.

“Fuck me.”

“Am.”

Cade’s hips flexed once more and he shot his load into Rio's mouth. Rio took it all, everything Cade had to give, swallowing it down, the saltiness coating his tongue. When Cade finally stilled, Rio licked him clean and only then did he peer up the length of his body and see Cade’s arm draped over his eyes and his chest heaving.

“Fuck,” Cade dropped his arm and looked at Rio through glazed eyes. “That was… I forgot how good it could be between us.”

“Yeah.”Lies, you didn’t forget a damn thing.Rio wiped his mouth with his thumb, catching a drop of cum at the corner of his lips before sucking it clean, dragging another muttered curse from Cade. “Let’s get you cleaned up.”
