“Hey there.” The radiance of Ker’s smile near did Ash in.
They kissed. When they separated, Ash said, “I’m so glad you’re here.”
“Me, too. I thought this week would never end.”
As Ker hung up his coat, Ash gestured to the overnight bag at Ker’s feet, “Why don’t you take that up to the bedroom, and I’ll order the pizza?”
Ash sat on the sofa in the family room until Ker returned. Ker sat beside him.
“Pizza will be here in about twenty minutes.”
They chatted about their week until the food arrived, then ate while an episode ofGrimmplayed on the TV. At one point in the past few weeks, they’d both admitted to enjoying the show, so Ash had found it on one of the cable stations and recorded a bunch of episodes.
When the pizza was reduced to just a couple of crusts and a few crumbs, they cleaned up and got cozy on the couch. Ash turned off the TV, saying, “Don’t worry, we’ll get back to the show in a bit, but first, I wanted to talk to you about something.”
Ker looked like a deer caught in headlights, and Ash immediately took his hand. “Hey, it’s nothing bad. Really.”
“Okay.”
“Look, I know we said that we weren’t gonna buy gifts for each other this year. That we just wanted to spend some time together, especially since we won’t actually be together on Christmas Day, but there’s something that I wanted you to have.” Ash reached into a drawer on the side of the coffee table and pulled out a small box that he handed to Ker. It was wrapped in deep-green paper with a glistening gold bow on the top.
Ker carefully unwrapped it. Inside was Ash’s house key, attached to a beautiful silver lighthouse keychain. “I …” He choked on the word.
“I wanted you to know that you’re always welcome here. You’re in my heart, so it only makes sense that you should be in my home too.” Ash spoke sincerely.
Ker kissed him, then said, “You’re not gonna believe this.” He rose and went to his coat, hanging on a peg by the back door. When he returned, he was holding a small package, wrapped in plain brown paper and sporting a simple bow made of red-and-white twine. He handed it to Ash, saying, “Great minds and all that.”
Ash ripped open the package to find a key ring, on which hung an anchor charm and a single key. “Wow.”
“Yeah,” said Ker, “I wanted you to have a key to my place too.”
They hugged and kissed and chuckled, realizing that indeed, they both wanted to move forward with whatever was going on between them.
Retiring to the bedroom, they undressed slowly, savoring the sight of each other as more and more skin was revealed. When they were both naked, Ash led Ker to the bed, and they lay down side by side, kissing gently.
“I want you so badly,” Ash said quietly.
“I want you too,” Ker said. “Tonight, I want you inside me.”
“You’re sure?” Ash asked. “We’ve never really talked about what we like.”
“I like it all,” Ker said. “But right now, I want you in me.”
Ash kissed him hard, then slowly worked his way down Ker’s body, kissing and licking as he moved down the length of his torso. Reaching his now-hard cock, he kissed the head, then sucked it into his mouth, relishing Ker’s flavor. Moving lower still, he lifted Ker’s legs, pushing Ker’s knees to his chest, licking along his taint and then circling his rim.
Ker writhed in pleasure, moaning and calling out Ash’s name.
Ash reached for some lube in the nightstand drawer along with a condom. Applying a generous amount of lube, he slowly entered Ker’s hole with his index finger, gently prepping him for what was to come. After a few minutes of teasing, he added a second finger, scissoring both as he licked and sucked on Ker’s rigid dick.
Ker panted, “I’m ready. Gimme your cock.”
Ash unwrapped the condom and slipped it down his own hard shaft, adding more lube as he went. Positioning the head of his cock at Ker’s entrance, he pushed slowly until the head was just past the ring of muscle. He kissed Ker deeply, thrusting his tongue into Ker’s mouth.
He felt Ker’s hands on his ass, pulling him in so that his cock slid slowly forward until his balls rested on Ker’s ass.
“You feel amazing,” Ker breathed into Ash’s mouth. “I can feel you pulsing inside me.”
Ash began to thrust in a slow but steady rhythm, continuing for several minutes. He changed his angle slightly, pushing deeper until the head of his cock grazed Ker’s gland.
