Never Say Never

by Jenna Byrnes

  Nick’s hands slid inside Adam’s briefs and cupped his ass. When he squeezed Adam’s bum, it was over.

  Adam exploded in waves of sensation. His cum shot down Nick’s throat as the man’s mouth and jaw muscles milked him for every last bit. He forced himself to keep his groan quiet as the water from the shower continued to patter down.

  When he could stand again, Adam released the wall and ran his hands over Nick’s face and head. “Perfect. So good. Thank you.”

  Nick sucked a spot on Adam’s thigh, leaving a deep red love bite. He straightened and stood, tucking Adam’s package into his briefs on the way. “You’re welcome. Now, I can get through my long day.”

  He cupped the back of Adam’s head, pulling him close for a kiss.

  Adam groaned again. The musky taste of his own seed was fresh on Nick’s tongue.

  Their soul-searing kiss sent tingles over his flesh. If Nick didn’t release him soon, he’d be erect again.

  Adam placed his hands on Nick’s chest and pressed him away lightly. “You’ve got to go. Now. Or I might not let you leave.”

  Nick stepped back and chuckled. “My little slut. I love that about you. Always hard for me. Always ready to get it up when I am.” He grabbed Adam’s crotch and squeezed gently.

  “You bet,” Adam agreed, the heady compliment floating around in his mind.

  Nick handled the cock and balls more firmly. “Only for me, right? The other muscular pretty boys around here won’t turn your head?”

  “Never.” Adam sighed. With Nicolas in his life, he didn’t even notice the other handsome guys who worked out.

  One hard squeeze to his genitals had Adam blinking into Nick’s steady gaze with surprise.

  Nick smiled. “And no touching yourself, either.”

  “Of course not.” Adam nodded sincerely.

  Nick released him and placed a light kiss on Adam’s mouth. “My perfect man.”

  Adam’s heart raced. It felt so damned good when Nick called him ‘his man’, he could barely stand it.

  Nick cupped Adam’s face and ran his thumb over the chin. “Remember, if I find out you’ve been anything other than perfect, there’ll be punishment. Something sinfully delicious—a mixture of pleasure and pain you won’t soon forget.”

  A shiver ran down Adam’s spine. He’d never been threatened with punishment before today. The way his lover described it had him almost considering breaking a rule just so he could find out what Nick was talking about. His cock thickened and throbbed.

  “God damn!” he muttered, aroused.

  Nick grinned and shoved the privacy curtain open. No one else was in sight in the shower area.

  Adam slapped the faucet, and the water stopped. He glanced back at Nick. “Wait. Tell me more.”

  “I have to get back to work. We’ll talk about this again another time.” Nick glanced in the big mirror hanging on the outer wall and combed his hair with one hand.

  “Don’t go!” Adam grabbed Nick’s other hand and pressed it to his erection. “Look what you’ve done to me. You need to stay and explain yourself—or better yet, we don’t have to talk at all.”

  A rumble of laughter shook Nick’s chest. “Go back to work, lover. I’ll see you tomorrow.” He stopped in front of a sink long enough to wash his hands and give his appearance a final check in the smaller mirror there.

  “Nick!” Adam groaned with frustration as the other man headed out.

  Nick turned and shook one finger at him, the smile on his face wickedly evil and wildly arousing. He winked at Adam and left.

  “Shit!” Adam pounded one hand against the wall. He’d have to remain in the bathroom long enough for his hard-on to deflate, which, if he kept thinking about Nick and his threats of punishment, might take a very long time. Adam smiled, wondering exactly what his new lover had in mind.

  When his shift ended for the day, Adam squeezed in an hour workout and lifted weights. With no reason to hurry home, he focussed on each muscle group as he exercised. It was a welcome relief to concentrate on something besides the man he’d been fixated on for weeks. Being with Nick was amazing, but Adam was starting to feel a bit obsessed with him.

  His mind kept returning to the last time they’d had sex and wondering when they might make love again.

  He took a healthy drink of water from the bottle he carried back and forth to the gym.

  After stretching his muscles gently in a cool down, he gathered his things and headed out to his car. It was a warm evening, and the fresh air smelled good. Adam inhaled, glancing around casually as he unlocked the door.

  A flash of avocado green caught his eye. Adam did a double take. There weren’t many trucks around town painted that hideous shade. He hadn’t seen one since Mitch packed his up and drove away. The ancient green tub he looked at now seemed uncomfortably familiar.

  Mitch? The truck was a block away, now, so he didn’t have a clear view of the driver.

  His imagination placed a tan-coloured, straw cowboy hat and a long, brown ponytail on the man. He could almost envision the tattoo of a bucking bronco on the guy’s left arm and his elbow poking out the window like always.

  Adam’s gut clenched, and his cock twitched. He mentally kicked himself and batted down the momentary excitement. Mitch is gone. He’s been gone for almost a year, and I’m still pissed as hell about the way he left.

  The confession startled Adam. He’d put on a good show about being over his old flame, had tried to convince everyone, including himself, he was telling the truth. Yet, the first time he caught a glimpse of a vehicle that looked like Mitch’s, Adam’s insides got all twisted up. It was almost as if he couldn’t breathe, couldn’t open his mouth or lungs enough to pull in air.

  The stoplight down the road changed, and the old green truck moved along. Adam watched it go, wondering once more about the man in the driver’s seat. It can’t be Mitch. He’d left for Texas and the rodeo circuit which had seemed all-important to him at the time. Adam had never heard if things had worked out for him.

  As he climbed into his sporty, red Ford Mustang, Adam had the fleeting thought that he hoped Mitch had found what he was looking for. He caught the reflection of his watery, blue eyes in the rear view mirror, and frowned. No, I don’t. I hope he hates the rodeo and comes crawling back to me so I can dump him, this time.

  The admission didn’t make him feel better. He pointed the car towards home, wishing Nick would be there, waiting for him. Nick always made him feel better.

  Mitch Silver quickly accelerated his old, green Chevy through the intersection. He’d driven past the small shopping centre which housed Full Throttle Fitness several times each day in the week he’d been home. He’d caught glimpses of the hard-to-miss little, red car, but NEVER SAY NEVER

  this was the first time he’d actually seen Adam. It was probably his imagination, but it almost seemed like the blond-haired hunk was staring at him.

  Impossible. Adam had no idea he was home. The horrible way Mitch had left made it tough to reappear all friendly-like. Hi, honey, I’m home. He’d been rehearsing what he’d say if he got the opportunity. I know I treated you like crap, walking out the way I did. I was jealous when you finished school and got a job. You seemed to be living your dreams while mine were stuck in my head. But, hey, the rodeo thing wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Especially, when I fell off a horse and hurt my back, and the doc said I shouldn’t ride anymore.

  Mitch shook his head. He couldn’t say all that. Adam would want to know what he’d been doing all this time. He’d either have to lie and say he’d simply remained on to drive for one of the other riders on the circuit, or he’d have to man up and tell the whole story. He’d been on the payroll
of Rowdy Randy Rhodes, driving the bull rider’s truck, taking the man from one rodeo to the next in Southern Texas. He’d played chauffer and done whatever needed to be done, including regular fucking. And not just Randy. A bevy of groupies followed the rodeo star from show to show, and the cowboy’s nightly escapades often included one or more of them.

  Mitch pounded the steering wheel as he drove, angry at himself for the shambles his life had become. Yes, he’d gone looking for excitement, and yes, he’d found a whole, new world. But the routine of travelling rodeo to rodeo, drinking and partying each night then moving on and doing it all over again was taking its toll. Mitch had never felt worse, physically or mentally.

  He needed to see Adam. Adam could always make him feel better. He swiped the back of his hand across his cheek, catching an errant tear. He’d been gone almost a year. It wasn’t likely someone as handsome and wonderful as Adam hadn’t moved on. He was probably living with someone else by now, warming the bed of some other lucky son of a bitch.

  Mitch envisioned his old lover on hands and knees before him. The beautiful head of blond curls bobbed, body swaying, ass clenching, as Mitch took him from behind. It was a sweet memory, but recalling it only made him feel worse. Honourable, trusting Adam had most likely been with the same man since Mitch left. That was his style. He’d never understand Mitch going crazy, participating in wild, drunken orgies with people he’d barely NEVER SAY NEVER

  known. Mitch barely understood it, though he’d never bothered to give it much thought at the time. I just did it.

  Thank God he was able to come home and get a clean bill of health from the local clinic.

  He hadn’t made any mistakes that were irreversible, up to that point. Mitch thought again about Adam. Maybe one. Had leaving Adam been a mistake? Definitely. Was it irreversible?

  He sighed. Time will tell.

  Chapter Two

  “Ouch!” Adam glanced over his shoulder at the man who’d just bitten his ass. “That hurt, Nick.”

  The handsome hunk with a devilish grin pressed small kisses on the bite mark. “I’m so sorry.”

  “No, you’re not.” Adam smiled and rested his forehead on the pillow. Nick knows exactly what he’s doing—and he does it well. The thought made Adam’s cock thicken. Wedged between him and the mattress, his erection twitched and made him squirm.

  Nick traced the crack of Adam’s bum with his tongue, using slow, torturous strokes. He pried Adam’s cheeks apart and drove his tongue deeper, circling the anus before nudging the opening. After teasing the outer ring with light thrusts, he backed away and patted Adam’s hip. “On your knees, lover.”

  Adam groaned but did as instructed, pressing his hands against the mattress and raising his ass in the air.

  “Better.” Nick pushed Adam’s knees wider and flipped to his back, wedging between Adam’s legs. He stopped when his face was just below Adam’s cock and balls. He caressed the hefty sac and slid his lips over the engorged erection in a moist kiss. “Mmm.”

  Adam rocked, encouraging Nick to suck him. But as usual, Nick took his time, teasing every inch of flesh with his breath before getting to serious action. Adam loved Nick’s teasing, and, at the same time, it frustrated the hell out of him. Pre-cum oozed from his throbbing shaft. He’d erupt with the simplest of efforts, but sex with Nick was never simple.

  “Fuck!” Adam muttered. His groin ached for release. “Do something.”

  Nick chuckled and drew Adam’s balls into his mouth. He worked the orbs around slowly before releasing them. He grabbed Adam’s thighs, tugged them apart then leaned up to get at his anus.

  NEVER SAY NEVER

  Adam swore again. From Nick’s angle, it was nearly impossible for him to tongue Adam’s hole properly. The man was still playing, while Adam was ready for results. “Come on, babe. I’m ready to do this.”

  Nick’s tongue laved his anus several times before drawing back. “You’re ready ? Have you forgotten the best way to get what you desire?”

  Adam closed his eyes for a moment, trying to think. Then they sprang open. He wants me to ask! In the few weeks they’d been together, he’d discovered his gorgeous lover had some control issues. Nick wanted to call the shots.

  He inhaled then released the breath, focussing on the intense arousal soaring through him. So what if Nick needs a little ego boost? Maybe being in charge made him feel important.

  Adam didn’t know, but the sex was worth it. Nick was one hell of a lover.

  He thrust his hips forward. “I want to come. Please.”

  Nick nuzzled Adam’s balls then nudged them so they swung from side to side. “Is that the best you can do, baby? I’d like a little more pleading, if you please. You know what it does to me to hear you beg.”

  Adam knew. If his words were enough, Nick would go at him with more suction than a vacuum. Anything he needed to say was well worth the imminent orgasm. He looked beneath him at the top of Nick’s head. “Please, babe. Wrap those sexy lips around my dick and drain me dry. I need it. I’m begging you.”

  Nick caught Adam’s gaze and smiled as he inserted a finger into his mouth. He wet it thoroughly, maintaining eye contact as he reached up and worked the digit into Adam’s anus. “Such a good boy. I love to hear you ask for what you want. Take this, for now. My cock is next. After I suck every drop from this raging monster, I intend to mount you and screw your brains out.”

  Adam broke the gaze and threw back his head, groaning with pleasure. Nick’s finger reamed in and out of him, adding to the delicious torment. He bucked his hips wildly, desperate for more.

  “Mmm.” Nick settled back on the bed and sucked Adam’s swollen knob between his lips. He continued the finger fuck, stretching and preparing the hole for what would come next. He finally opened wide and took Adam’s length down his throat.

  Adam grunted with pleasure. Finally. He rocked back and forth, relishing the finger prying his anus and the mouth sucking him in earnest.

  “Yes!” Heat and desire rose inside him until he thought he might shatter. Clutching the mattress, he drove his cock deeper, thrusting his entire length into Nick’s willing mouth.

  “Aw, god.” The first wave sent his insides spiralling and a stream of cum straight down Nick’s gullet. More spurts followed, and Adam shuddered through an amazing, intense orgasm. Each one better than the time before. He stopped rocking and tried to catch his breath.

  Nick removed his finger and released his hold on Adam’s shaft. “So good.”

  Nick scooted out from under, and Adam watched him grab a condom and lube from the nearest dresser then return to stand behind Adam. There was a rustling of foil as Nick wrangled with a rubber.

  Cool, slick gel slid down the crack of Adam’s ass. Nick nudged his cock against Adam’s opening and swirled the head in the lubricant. “I’m hot for you, baby. Don’t want to wait. I need to be inside you.” His cock head slipped in.

  “Mmm,” Adam thrust his ass back. “Don’t wait. Come on. I’m ready.”

  Nick gripped Adam’s hips and shoved his shaft deeper. “So ready. So hot and tight.

  Damn, you feel good.”

  “You, too.”

  When their balls touched, Adam dared to breathe. The pressure was enormous. The massive length and girth filling his ass was about all he could bear. His head fell forward, and he clutched the sheets, prepared for anything.

  Nick pulled his slick rod out and drove it back in, working into an intense, rapid rhythm. His movements grew more feral and heated with each thrust.

  When Adam believed neither of them could take much more, Nick got a fresh burst of energy and pummelled him until his ass was nearly numb. A mixture of pleasure and sweet pain tore through him. He buried his face in a pillo
w, the yell he couldn’t hold back muffled.

  Nick swore and froze. His cock throbbed as he came.

  Adam’s main sensation was Nick’s death grip on his hips, but warm cum began to fill the rubber in his ass. He sighed and relaxed as the heat pulsed into him.

  “So good, my darling.” Nick eased his cock out and wrapped his arms around Adam, falling sideways on the bed. He spooned their bodies together and kissed Adam’s neck and NEVER SAY NEVER

  shoulder. “I don’t have words to describe the way you make me feel. I’ve never experienced anything like it in my life.”

  Adam nestled against Nick’s chest. “Me either. Incredible. Intense. Amazing.” Renewed arousal had his cock sticking out straight from his body, and he gripped it. “You’ve got me hard again.”

  “Ah, allow me.” Nick sucked a spot on Adam’s neck as he wrapped his fingers over Adam’s hand and shaft. He pulled them back and forth, squeezing gently.

  Goosebumps travelled like pinpricks down Adam’s spine, and he shivered at the suction on his neck. “You’re going to leave another mark. People are talking, already.”

  Nick stopped sucking and kissed around the spot. “I don’t care. Do you?” He licked Adam’s inner ear and nibbled the lobe. “Maybe I want them to know you’re unavailable. The other guys at the gym will know you’re taken.”

  Adam smiled. “I’m taken, huh?” His cock pulsed in his hand.

  Whispering in his ear, Nick murmured, “Oh, yeah. Very much so.” He returned to the spot on Adam’s neck and chomped down, sucking it hard.

  A thrill ran down Adam’s backbone, and his eyes rolled up in his head. He gasped and panted as another unbelievable orgasm ripped through him. Ribbons of cum erupted, coating his hand and Nick’s.

  “My man,” Nick murmured. “Mine to pleasure. Mine to train.”
