  and Adam chose to believe it was true, because Todd stripped his delectable body bare and slid into the hot, fragrant, bubbly water with a long moan that made Adam’s cock weep for relief.

  Adam wished the tub was bigger so he could crawl in and lie behind Todd. Of course,

  then he probably would never make it to step three, which involved exploring every inch of Todd’s naked skin in a bed.

  Adam snatched the cloth from Todd. “Nuh-uh, let me. Tonight I am going to pamper

  you and touch every bit of you while I’m at it.”

  Todd looked through his lashes at Adam. “You don’t have to, Adam. You’re doing a lot for something you’re gonna get regardless.”

  Adam sat back on his heels and glared. “I will have you know I am not doing this just to get laid! I know you want to make love, and, believe me, oh my God do I want to spread you out and—” Adam stopped, desire making his throat so dry he almost squeaked. He

  swallowed and waited for the saliva to reappear. “I am going to make love to you, Todd, but I want to give you this, tonight.”

  Adam decided Fuck it, and he stripped off his clothes then got in the tub, straddling Todd. It wasn’t comfortable, but it felt fucking good. “I plan on giving you lots of nights like this, Todd. Nights and days, mornings and afternoons, weeks, months, years—a lifetime or more, if possible.”

  Todd’s lower lips quivered and Adam leaned in and sucked on it. Todd’s hands on his

  back felt large, strong, right as Todd clutched at him. And the thick cock prodding at his bottom, that felt pretty damn perfect too.

  “Do you want—”

  “No,” Todd grunted, even as he thrust. “Want you in me.”

  Adam’s smile couldn’t possible get any bigger, he thought. “Whatever you want. But

  first…”

  Adam kissed Todd and lowered himself as much as he could, letting their slick wet

  torsos rub together. “Fuck.” He nibbled down Todd’s jaw and bit at the side of his neck.

  Todd jolted under him and squeaked and squeezed Adam so hard he couldn’t breathe.

  Apparently Todd liked being bitten, at least there.

  Another time, he’d explore where-all his lover liked being bitten and kissed, but, for right now, if he ever wanted to get inside Todd, he needed to get them out of the tub. Adam pulled away and felt around for the washcloth before he remembered he’d dropped it on the rug. “Shit, hang on.”

  He shivered when he got out, but there just wasn’t enough room for him to do what

  needed to be done if he was in the tub. “Close your eyes and just relax.”

  Todd puffed out a laugh but did as Adam said.

  “I’m gonna make this short and get you clean, otherwise I’ll end up stroking this—”

  Adam gripped Todd’s cock in his hand, using the soapy washcloth to stimulate him. “Until you go off, then we’ll both have to wait for a while to go on. Although, the foreplay—”

  “Adam, please,” Todd mumbled, “I want you in me the next time.”

  Adam released Todd’s dick. “Whatever you want. But yeah, that’s what I want, too. I

  ache for you, Todd, and, you know, I never understood what someone meant when they said that before.”

  “I ache, too.” Todd looked at him and Adam decided there’d been enough talking. He

  washed Todd, relieved when the man didn’t protest at Adam cleaning his ass. Adam didn’t want Todd to be shy with him, not about his body, and not about sex, but he knew it’d take time. And Todd was so sweet, Adam didn’t mind waiting…except right now he really was painfully ready for his lover, and there was still more to do.

  “Up.” Adam helped Todd up and pulled the drain on the tub. Once Todd got out,

  Adam rubbed him down briskly, careful not to touch his erection much. Adam’s was curved up towards his belly, dabbing moisture on his skin, bobbing and reminding him it needed attention.

  He didn’t rush—much, though. Adam pulled Todd to him with the towel around his

  hips. He rumbled happily as Todd embraced him. Adam found the sweet spot on Todd’s

  neck and worked it with teeth and tongue until Todd’s breathing came in short pants and he writhed against Adam.

  “You like that, huh?”

  Todd made a choking sound then surprised Adam with a bit of sarcasm. “Duh!”

  Adam chuckled and stepped back. “Well, then, let’s see what else you like.” He already knew Todd had sensitive nipples, whereas Adam could take or leave having his messed

  with. Didn’t mean he didn’t like playing with a responsive man’s tits, though, and Todd was very responsive.

  “Come to our bed,” Adam said, tugging on the towel. Todd stumbled and Adam let go,

  choosing instead to hook his arm through Todd’s. “And don’t laugh.”

  Now his nerves were kicking back in.

  Todd cocked his head at him. “Why would I laugh? Did… Did you do more in there,

  like the candles on the table and…?” Todd’s eyes rounded and Adam had a feeling he’d been found out.

  “Just wait and see.” And that was not desperation and fear tingeing his voice! Adam

  might have gone a little overboard. He stopped outside their bedroom door and looked at Todd. “I, uh, I’m not sure—”

  Todd smiled softly and this time it was he who kissed Adam, drinking in his fear and insecurity. “Whatever it is you did, I know it’ll be perfect.”

  Adam would have mocked someone for saying something so sappy back when he’d

  been a cynical asshole, but now he just beamed, he knew it. He felt like he did, anyways.

  Todd turned then and opened the door. He stood still as stone for a few seconds—the

  longest seconds ever, next to those horrible ones when Adam had found Todd beaten—then Todd made what sounded like a sob. His shoulders hunched and he fisted a hand, pressing it to his mouth.

  Adam thought he’d really fucked up, or really done right, he wasn’t sure. “Todd, is

  it…? Is that a happy sound or—?” Or what? Or was Adam a pathetic, stupid—

  Todd grabbed him and pulled Adam around. Todd’s eyes were luminous with tears

  and with the reflections from the numerous candles Adam had set out. Well, not too

  numerous, he was worried about them burning for long and he’d only used ones he could put in candleholders but—Adam barked out a laugh at his own rambling thoughts. “I thought…” Todd glanced at the room again. “Those are rose petals.”

  Adam nodded even though Todd wasn’t looking at him. “Yeah, but I’m not sure now

  they were a good idea. They might get in places we’d rather they not.”

  Todd chuckled softly at first, then louder. He turned to Adam and arched a brow. “So I might smell like roses for a while, is that what you’re saying?”

  Adam shrugged, feeling a bit silly for having scattered the petals on the red silk sheets, but Todd was smiling still and he seemed happy and relaxed even though his dick was hard.

  Adam touched the wet tip and Todd shivered. “Come lay down with me.”

  “Yes,” Todd whispered. He placed his hand in Adam’s and walked with him to the bed.

  “Red sheets.” Todd touched them, then picked up a petal and rubbed it between his finger and thumb. “Soft as the rose petal.”

  “Silk,” Adam explained, then he took Todd’s chin in his hand and kissed the man

  breathless. They tumbled not ungently onto the bed, and Adam stretched out on top of Todd, making sure not to put all his weight on him. Todd had a clear bill of health, but Adam preferred to be careful.

  “Adam,” Todd sighed, his eyelids lowering until Adam could barely see thin slits of

  colour. “I need you.”

  “You have me.” But Adam knew what Todd meant, and he also knew his plans to

  immerse them both in hours of foreplay wasn’t going to happen, at least not this first time.<
br />
  The whole evening had been foreplay, or perhaps it’d even started this morning, and now both of them were primed and ready for completion—or almost.

  Adam brushed his lips over Todd’s until Todd parted his eagerly. Todd’s taste, the

  sweet sounds he made, fuelled the fire burning in Adam. He ran a hand down Todd’s arm, aware of each scar, each ridge of muscle and goose bump he encountered. Then he sucked on the underside of Todd’s jaw as Todd writhed beneath him.

  Adam licked down Todd’s neck, scraping his teeth over the love mark he’d left. He

  loved the divot at the base of Todd’s neck, framed by the tendons there as Todd arched for him. Adam sucked, licked, nibbled and nipped his way down Todd’s chest. He knew Todd was nearly desperate for him, but Adam had to make sure Todd’s body was near to going haywire with pleasure.

  He sealed his lips around Todd’s small pink nipple. Todd bucked and let out a sharp

  sound. Adam grinned around the hard nub and pinched the other with his fingers. He

  worked Todd’s tits for several minutes, driving Todd out of his mind from the sound of it.

  Todd pressed Adam’s head down, demanding more, and Adam gave it to him even as Todd

  rutted against him.

  “A-Adam, please,” Todd panted, and Adam wanted to point out he couldn’t very well

  go anywhere else as Todd was holding him to his chest. But Todd released him then and started pushing at his shoulders. “Please, please, Adam, please.”

  It was all Todd said, over and over, and Adam scrambled to get to his knees. He pulled the lube and condom out from beneath the pillow. Then Adam rolled onto his back and

  patted his chest. “Come here, Todd. Let me taste you.”

  Todd’s eyes rounded and he paled, all except for the bright spots of red on his cheeks and a flush running over his chest. Adam thought he’d misstepped or that he needed to clarify, but Todd surprised him, rolling up quick and only hesitating once he had a knee beside Adam’s head. Todd frowned down at him. “You did mean, uh…this?”

  Adam grinned up at Todd. “That I’m going to rim you?” And there was that delightful

  shade of red, accompanying the eager need in Todd’s expression. “Oh yeah, that’s what I meant. I’m going to rim you, and stretch you, then you’re going to put the condom on me and ride me until we both shatter.”

  Todd’s head bobbed even as he frowned. “Do we have to use the condom? You said—”

  Adam shook his head. “I’ve always been safe, but I want one more clean test. I won’t put you at risk.” He wanted to feel Todd around him, nothing between them, but he meant it when he told Todd he loved him, and there was nothing he wouldn’t do to ensure Todd was taken care of.

  Todd grumbled but didn’t protest, and Adam was glad. He wanted Todd to enjoy

  everything about their first time together.

  “Do you want me to turn around?” Todd asked.

  Adam nodded. “Yeah, so I can get you ready.” But he’d have Todd straddle him, push

  his firm ass down so Adam could rub against it another time.

  Todd shifted around and got in place, sort of. He wasn’t lowered enough. Adam

  hooked an arm around his hips and tugged down and back. “C’mere.” He eyed Todd’s crack, the golden-red fuzz there and the pink quivering pucker nestled between Todd’s cheeks.

  “Back more,” Adam ordered, and Todd complied. Adam used his other hand to pull aside one ass cheek, then he tongued the tight little hole, a firm lick over it.

  Todd made a guttural sound and slammed back. Adam took that for a demand for

  more. He hummed an agreement and held Todd open as he laved his pucker. Todd began

  rocking and moaning, and Adam stiffened his tongue, spearing it into Todd and drawing a keening from the man.

  Adam squeezed and kneaded Todd’s ass as he drank in the taste and sounds of his

  lover. Todd was babbling, senseless words, sounds, pleas, as Adam tongue-fucked him. He thought he could have done it for hours, had Todd not grabbed Adam’s dick and started stroking in a jerky, erratic manner.

  Adam jerked his head aside and rasped, “Todd, stop!” He locked his knees, curled his toes, and barely kept from shooting all over the place. “Stop, oh my fucking God!”

  Todd clamped the base of Adam’s dick tight. Adam’s eyes crossed and the breath

  squeaked out of his lungs. “Then fuck me, Adam!”

  Adam groaned and flopped a hand out, feeling for the lube. He’d had the stuff earlier—

  “Here.” Todd slapped the tube into his hand. “Don’t… I might come if you touch me

  too much.”

  “Oh shit,” Adam muttered, because he wanted to ease Todd open, to touch him inside

  and caress his gland, to drive him wild and—but he already had Todd there, didn’t he?

  “Hurry,” Todd was urging him.

  Adam popped the cap off with his teeth and figured he was lucky he didn’t get a face full of goo. “Can you spread yourself open for me?”

  Todd didn’t even hesitate. He let go of Adam’s dick and reached behind himself. “Like this?” he asked as he parted his cheeks, exposing the rosy pucker to Adam.

  “Yes,” Adam hissed. “Beautiful. You’re so fucking sexy, Todd, opening yourself for

  me.”

  Todd exhaled noisily and pulled his cheeks farther apart. Adam thought he couldn’t

  love the man more. He squeezed the tube and poured the viscous stuff at the top of Todd’s crease.

  “Cold,” Todd grumbled.

  “Sorry.” Adam should have warmed it in his hands first, but, damn it, he could hardly think. He rolled his fingers through it and smeared it down, slicking Todd’s crack then rubbing it all around his hole. Todd’s opening clenched and loosened, and Adam slid a finger in. Todd’s silky heat rippled around his digit, and Adam’s moan drowned out Todd’s.

  He pushed in deeper, and Todd gurgled and pushed back, taking Adam’s finger in as far as possible.

  “Oh Geez,” Todd rasped, “oh da-damn, Adam!” Todd’s inner muscles clenched, his

  ring squeezing the base of Adam’s finger. “Do something…”

  Adam wanted to curl his finger, stroke over Todd’s prostate, but didn’t, knowing Todd was likely to come if he did. He pumped his finger in and out, slowly at first. Todd moaned again and started riding Adam’s digit, swivelling his hips when he came down. Adam took that to mean Todd needed more, so he gave it to him, slipping in a second finger, then eventually a third. It was at that point that Todd stopped moving and hissed.

  Adam was afraid to move a muscle, but he spoke. “Are you okay? We can stop if—”

  “Adam,” Todd growled, something that surprised Adam so much he almost jumped. “I

  can’t take much more without coming, so you better hurry up and get that fat dick inside me!”

  Adam pulled his fingers out and wiped them on the sheets regardless of what the damn things were made of. Rose petals stuck to his fingers. “Fucking petals!”

  Todd shifted, then Adam heard the sound of the condom package being opened.

  “Might need some help here.” Todd moved until he was kneeling beside Adam. He looked at Adam, trying to shake the rose petals off his fingers. “Or maybe not,” Todd chuckled.

  “Just—oh,” Adam sighed as Todd rolled the rubber down his length. “Ah, you got it.”

  “Yeah,” Todd said proudly. He picked up the lube and squirted some on the tip before rubbing it around.

  Adam squirmed and caught Todd’s wrist. “Close, too, baby. It’s not just you.”

  Todd gave him a beaming smile that faltered. “Uh, how do I do t-this?”

  Adam gestured him down, and Todd came. He kissed Todd until Todd all but

  sprawled on him. “You just get on me, and I’ll hold my dick up and help us both. Trust me, Todd, you can’t do anything wrong here.” Adam wasn’t going to scare him with horror

  stories of what might go wrong, better to just guide Todd.

  “Okay.” Todd sat up and positioned himself over Adam. He planted a hand on Adam’s

  chest. “This okay?”

  “Yeah.” Adam held his cock upright and put his other hand on Todd’s hip. “Whenever

  you’re ready, just ease back until—” Adam hissed, no words just sound as Todd began

  pressing down. The head of his dick slid through the snug ring after only a few seconds’

  pressure, and Todd gasped and stopped moving as he gaped at Adam.

  “Too much?” Adam asked. He was thick, not necessarily real long but, yeah, not a stub, either. It might be too much girth for Todd just yet. Adam tried to push his ass down and pull out but Todd narrowed his eyes and made that growling noise again.

  “Don’t even.”

  Adam stopped and Todd sank down a little more. “It feels…”

  Adam’s mind spun. It felt…awful? Horrible? Painful? Like Todd wanted it the hell out?

  “So good,” Todd said rather breathlessly. “My God, I don’t know how I’m ever gonna

  not be sitting on your dick like this.”

  Todd’s eyes seemed glazed, and Adam had to wonder if he even knew what he was

  saying, but then Todd hummed and pulled up a little—and rocked down farther, almost

  taking Adam all the way in.

  “Todd,” Adam gritted out, needing to thrust so bad his muscles burned from holding

  back. “You’re gonna drive me crazy here.”

  Todd’s smile was sublime as he came up then down with enough force that his butt

  slammed against Adam’s groin. “Ah, I’ll be right there with you.” Todd opened his eyes wider and dropped forwards on his hands. “I can do it like this, right? It feels good for you too?”

  “Anything you do feels good for me,” Adam began, but Todd started moving his hips,

  short, sharp jerks that brought friction and blessed heat and velvety tight spasms around Adam’s dick. “But especially that—”

  “Oh yeah,” Todd crooned. Adam reached around and grabbed Todd’s ass, holding onto
