Playing The Hero

by K. Sterling

  “That was fast.” He said as he moved to the edge of the pool. Reid’s eyes followed the water that slid down Carter’s body and he groaned when the muscles of Carter’s chest and stomach rippled as his hands pushed through his hair. “How much time do you have?” He asked as he planted his hands on the tile and pushed off. Reid’s eyes flared as Carter’s hips emerged from the water and the front of his Speedos clung to a very serious hard-on. Baby Jesus, it was fucking beautiful. Carter’s lips slammed into Reid’s and he was thrown back onto the tile as Carter’s body surged over his. Warm water saturated his scrubs and Reid moaned against Carter’s tongue as it swept hungrily through his mouth before it slid down his jaw.

  “About two hours unless I get called in for an emergency.” He panted and mentally confirmed that he had another pair of clean scrubs in his locker. Carter nodded as his teeth dug into Reid’s neck and he pushed Reid’s top up his stomach.

  “Good. That’s plenty of time.” He growled as he slid down and pressed his lips to Reid’s stomach. Carter’s tongue lapped hungrily at his abs, dipping into the grooves and sliding over the ridges. He raised his head and his eyes were deep as they met Reid’s before he lowered his lips to Reid’s arm. He purred as he licked Reid’s bicep, tracing the seam of his sleeve. Carter’s hand fisted in the elastic at Reid’s waist and pulled his wet, clinging scrub bottoms and boxers down his thighs. He smiled up at Reid as he moved down his body. “I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how good you taste. Even in my sleep, I can’t get enough of your cock in my mouth or my tongue in your ass.” Carter murmured the words as his lips brushed up Reid’s shaft. Reid gasped and arched, his wet clothes heavy as his fingers swept through Carter’s cold, slick hair and heat exploded in his groin.

  “Christ, I’ve missed you.” He moaned as Carter’s lips wrapped around the head of his cock and began to suck.

  Carter was possessed. He pinned Reid to the floor as he devoured Reid’s throbbing length. The strong, steady pull of Carter’s mouth tugged on something deep within Reid. His heartbeat felt like it was being drawn into his groin and would be sucked from his body, like water spinning down a drain while his brain felt like it was dissolving into the puddle of water beneath him. Carter released Reid’s cock and his lips pushed into the cleft of Reid’s ass and Carter sighed happily as his tongue washed over the tight bud of Reid’s ass, causing Reid to moan as he pulled his legs back. Carter lapped and probed as Reid undulated on the cold wet floor and chanted his name. Carter licked his finger before he teased Reid’s puckered hole. It slid in slowly, sending bright sparks through Reid’s body and he begged Carter for more. His body had been tense with need for days, he didn’t want to be teased or for Carter to take his time. A second finger pushed into Reid’s tight heat and his hips bucked off the tile.

  “Carter, you have to fuck me.” Reid whined and his toes curled in his sneakers as Carter’s fingers curled around his prostate and rubbed firmly. Carter shook his head as he stared up at Reid.

  “I’m going to milk every drop of come from you first.” He warned. “I want all of it.” Carter demanded before his head fell and he took Reid deep into his throat.

  Reid’s shoulders came off the floor and he swore as the suction around his cock became ruthless and Carter’s finger rubbed and pressed deep within his clenching passage. Violent, swirling pleasure rolled through Reid’s groin as a thick, heavy surge of warmth traveled up his shaft. Carter hummed happily as he began to drink and Reid’s fingers clawed at the tile. The swirling got warmer and brighter and Reid’s vision blurred. Reid felt his balls and prostate tighten and a wave of pressure slammed into the base of his erection and rolled up its length as his world was washed in vibrating color. He felt the slit in the head of his cock stretch as a molten burst of come erupted, deep into Carter’s throat. Reid sobbed Carter’s name as he continued to stroke deep inside of Reid and suck relentlessly.

  Once Carter was satisfied that there was nothing left, he pulled Reid to his feet and quickly had him stripped and naked. Carter dropped his Speedo on the tile and pushed Reid up the stairs and into his bedroom. Still dazed and wrung out, Reid collapsed on the bed and barely managed to get his knees under him before Carter grabbed his hips and lined up the head of his cock with Reid’s hole. Reid blinked in shock at the empty condom wrapper on the bed and decided that Carter’s skills were Ninja Level before he gasped as the head pushed past the tight ring and his body clenched tight around him. Carter groaned softly and his hands swept soothingly over Reid’s back and massaged his shoulders. Reid sighed as every muscle in his body turned to jello and he relaxed around Carter’s thick shaft.

  There was heavy warmth and sparks as Carter drove hard and smooth into Reid’s body. Reid shut his eyes and let his head fall onto the bed, making the tingling fullness the center of his entire existence. He heard Carter’s hips slapping against his ass. Their skin was still damp and it echoed through the silent room, matching the cadence of Reid’s heartbeat. Reid’s eyes snapped open when Carter leaned forward and pulled Reid’s legs out from under him. Carter used his knees to part Reid’s thighs and settled his hips between them as he lowered himself onto his elbows and curled his hands under and around Reid’s shoulders. Carter rolled his hips, driving deep with each thrust and his hard, hot body slid against Reid’s from shoulder to ass, making his skin slick and oversensitive. He was aware of the grazing of Carter’s nipples and the light patch of hair between Carter’s pecs against his back as Carter’s pace picked up. Reid moaned euphorically as Carter ground and bucked his hips as he pulled Reid hard against him.

  “Oh, Christ, that’s deep.” Reid breathed as he rocked against the bed and shivered as he felt his cock getting hard. The friction against his cock was maddening and sublime. “Fuck, Carter! I’m going to come again.” Reid gasped as he felt his balls and prostate throb angrily in protest.

  “Good.” Carter growled and his thrusts jackhammered into Reid causing him to scream into the bed as his nerves contracted and burst, flooding Reid’s body with bright pleasure. His balls and cock pulsed but there was no pressure as his body twitched and jerked through a dry orgasm. Reid clenched tight around Carter’s cock and he hissed. “God, yes! Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.” Carter panted as his thrusts became wild and urgent. “So good. You’re so, so, so good, Reid!” He whimpered, his voice raw and low, heavy steam against Reid’s ear.

  Then, there was cool air against Reid’s back as Carter pushed off the mattress with his hands and arched as his hips froze and he yelled Reid’s name before he bucked hard and began to convulse over Reid. He remained suspended above Reid for several moments before he groaned and lowered his shoulders and licked lazily between Reid’s shoulder blades before he fell onto his side next to Reid. He sighed happily as he pushed the hair from over his brow. Reid nodded in agreement and smiled drowsily. He felt boneless and completely wrung out. Carter rolled onto his side and propped his head up on his hand.

  “Why don’t you take a nap? You should have a little more than an hour.” He said softly as the back of his hand gently swept down Reid’s cheek. Reid hummed as his eyes became too heavy to keep open.

  “Ok.” Reid agreed. “I need my phone. Don’t let me sleep for more than an hour.” He slurred and he felt the bed shift as Carter pressed a kiss to his temple before he got up.

  I needed that. Reid let go of the world and his body was gone. I need him. Then, Reid was gone.

  “Reid.” It was a tickle of a breath against Reid’s lips and he smiled as he rubbed his lips against Carter’s. The tip of Carter’s tongue slid slowly along Reid’s lips and he kept his eyes shut, not wanting to let go of the dream. Something this good couldn’t be real. “Get up. Let’s take a quick shower before you have to go.” Reid forced his eyes open and a frown tugged at his lips at the thought of leaving. But a shower… And Carter was hovering over him, his impossible blue eyes and fantasy lips smiling, close to Reid’s.

  “I don’t want to go.”
He complained as his fingers sifted through Carter’s hair and pulled his lips to Reid’s. He kissed him, letting his tongue curl lazily around Carter’s before he sighed in defeat.

  “Come on, I washed your clothes and packed food for you to take with you.” Carter stood up and pulled Reid upright and onto his feet. Somehow, Reid felt completely relaxed and recharged. He grabbed Carter and pressed another kiss to his lips.

  “You’re amazing.” Reid declared as Carter pulled him toward the bathroom.

  “Am I?” He winked as he pushed the waistband of his track pants over his hips and let them fall. It was all he was wearing and Reid growled softly as he reached for Carter.

  “Yes. I’m going to have to keep you.” He murmured as he wrapped his hands around Carter’s ass and backed him into the shower. Carter’s grin didn’t reach his eyes and Reid was about to ask why when cold water blasted him and he jumped and shrieked. Carter laughed as he leaned away from the water until it warmed up. “Oh, you’re an ass!” Reid shouted and exhaled loudly as he waited for his balls to crawl out of his body.

  They showered and dressed quickly. Reid had just enough time to throw Carter against the door and drop to his knees so he could give Carter a fast blow job. When he left, Carter was sitting on the stairs, slightly stunned and smiling drunkenly. Reid savored the taste of Carter on his tongue and lips until he gave in and opened the plastic container Carter had packed for him along with a stack of cookies, a salad and an apple a few hours later. It was lasagna and Reid hugged it to his chest as he sank onto the couch in the lounge. I’m going to have to marry this guy. Reid paused in the middle of chewing as he turned it over in his mind. He shrugged and went back to chewing. He was kind of ok with the idea.

  Chapter 13

  “Let’s go on a trip.” Reid said as he tossed the magazine he hadn’t really been reading on the coffee table. He crossed his arms behind his head and stared at the ceiling. “We could go skiing. Maybe Colorado. You said you haven’t smoked pot in years and miss it sometimes. You could get baked and I could take advantage of you while we lounge in front of a fireplace.” Reid paused, pretending Carter was going to respond. “It could be really romantic. I’ll get us one of those places where you can ski right up to the back door, with a hot tub. We can fuck like rabbit's and maybe ski a little.” He frowned as heat started to trickle into his groin and his cock stirred. Don’t get turned on now, he warned. Reid’s eyes settled on the back of Carter’s head. “Do you even ski?” He asked.

  Carter sighed as he pulled his headphones on. Reid grinned as he stretched his arms and legs before he rolled onto his stomach on the couch. Maybe he would take a nap. Reid stared at Sadie, sprawled on her bed across the room. It seemed to be working for her. He sighed again as he looked over at Carter. He’d much rather nap with Carter. But Reid knew that Carter wasn’t going to agree to it. Not when he was working.

  At first, Carter didn’t like the idea of Reid hanging around during the day when he was off. Carter warned that he didn’t like to be disturbed and could get cranky when he was working. He tried to convince Reid that he’d enjoy himself more if he entertained himself outside of Carter’s house. He’d even gone as far as to suggest that Reid hang out at his own place and unpack a few boxes. Reid had waved that ridiculous idea off without even considering it. He could barely remember what was in most of the boxes. Books, movies and junk. Not nearly as interesting as spending the day with Carter. Reid really didn’t mind that Carter got a little irritable and did his best to ignore him. Carter had a real work ethic when it came to writing and Reid respected that. It didn’t mean he didn’t have fun with it now and then. Reid would have one sided conversations and throw out ridiculous and sometimes filthy comments, mostly to amuse himself but now and then Carter would hear them and shake his head or put on his headphones.

  And then there was the couch. It was like curling up in a well loved and really broken in baseball glove. It was large and soft and warm. Especially when the sun was just right and spilled down on it. Like it was just then. It would be so easy to fall asleep and have one of those epic naps where you drool and stay unconscious until your bladder wakes you up in agony. But it would be so much better with Carter. Reid loved when their bodies tangled and their chests rose and fell in the same rhythm as they played with each other’s hair until they drifted off. Of course, they didn’t always drift off or they had to take a detour before they were both tired enough to drift off. A lot of really naughty things had occurred on the couch. In fact, just the night before… Reid shook his head, trying to divert his thoughts to something a little less boner inducing. He rubbed his cheek against the soft leather and thought about the first night and talking until early morning before falling asleep with Carter. The couch had become the soothing, happy center of Reid’s universe.

  Reid smiled and his body began to feel lighter. He started falling in love with Carter that first night. And it was as if every minute Reid spent on that couch, either with Carter on it or watching him work across room, occasionally annoying him, fed that little flame inside Reid’s chest until it had spread through his whole body. Carter could be grumpy and he still tried to hold Reid at an emotional distance but when he wasn’t working and when he let his guard down, Carter was… irresistible. His sarcastic, snarky sense of humor was always under the surface. Reid had never been with someone that made him laugh as often. And Carter was brilliant. He wrote books for teenagers but they were written with so much faith in their intelligence and probably had as many rabid adult fans as young adults. Every now and then, Carter would make a comment and it would knock Reid on his ass, it would be subtle at first but once Reid turned it over in his mind, it would unravel and expand and it could take his breath away. Something that seemed like a cheeky observation could have historical or literary depths that left Reid a little stunned at times. Carter also found a way to be bluntly tender. His compliments were never flowery or weak, they were straightforward and often direct. But the language was always well crafted and precise. And Carter was generous and liked to demonstrate his affection in ways that went beyond touching. He never went to the store without finding something for Reid. It could be anything from a fresh cookie from the bakery to a paperback book to a yo-yo or even a tiny stuffed elephant. Carter loved to cook for Reid, they rarely went out for dinner. Which was wonderful. Carter was good at finding something achingly comforting (lobster mac and cheese) or almost too sensual to be decent (Meyer lemon pana cotta) for each meal.

  And the sex. Every time they touched, it was like a strong current of heat passing from one to the other. Sometimes, it was lazy, almost drugging and they’d be content to just loll in it. Other times, it was like a spark flying into a pile of dry brush. They would ignite, searing each other’s skin with lips and tongues and wild, burning touches until there was nothing left but heavy, sweat soaked limbs. Reid hadn’t fucked Carter yet but even then, everything was spectacular. Reid could wait for that. He had plenty of other options to distract him. Carter in bed (or on the couch) could be gentle and generous, he could give a long, slow blow job that made it hard for a man to remember he had a name. Or, he would snap and bend Reid over the counter and tongue fuck his ass until he came so hard he nearly blacked out. And when Carter fucked Reid… it was like riding a unicorn. Because he was hung like a horse and it was pretty damn magical.

  Reid’s lips pulled tight as he stared at Carter. He was going to have to take a break. Reid had gone and got himself painfully aroused. A nap was definitely not happening until after he got off. He was going to have to find some way to get Carter to stop working so Reid could get back to blissfully and decadently lounging on the love cocoon/couch. Reid’s eyes narrowed as he considered. A moment later, a sinister grin curved his lips and he ran upstairs. Reid grabbed a condom and some lube and quietly returned to the living room. He quickly stripped off his clothes and snuck up behind Carter. Reid slid his hand up the back of Carter’s neck and his fingers sifted through Car
ter’s hair.

  “Working.” Carter muttered. Reid bit his lip and adjusted his approach. His hand snuck under the collar of Carter’s t-shirt and pushed down Carter’s chest, his nails grazing warm, tight skin. Carter sighed and slapped at Reid’s hand and Reid laughed softly as he pulled his hand out of Carter’s shirt. He bent and set his tongue flat against the back of Carter’s neck and licked slowly. Carter shivered. “In a little bit, Reid.” He mumbled. Reid clenched his jaw as frustration flicked at his patience. He tossed the lube and condom on the desk next to Carter’s laptop. A grumbly sigh sound rumbled in Carter’s throat as he turned his chair. “Rei…” His name fell out of Carter’s mouth as his jaw dropped. Carter blinked several times and Reid watched as the shape of Carter’s cock grew and pressed against his jeans. “Oh…” Reid didn’t hear that last word, it was more a breath wrapped in tightening lips. He pulled Carter’s headphones off and set them on the desk. Carter’s eyes swept up Reid’s body, to his eyes. They were dark and full of awe and hunger before they slowly trailed back down Reid’s body. Carter licked his lips when his gaze settled on Reid’s very insistent and pulsing erection. Reid’s hand cupped Carter’s jaw before it slid around his neck and gently pulled Carter’s head toward his cock. A soft moan washed over Reid’s flesh before Carter’s tongue swept over the head. It was heaven. Reid let his head fall back and his eyes closed as he sunk into the delight of Carter’s lips wrapped around his throbbing shaft and the strong pull of his hot, wet, luscious mouth. Reid thrust gently until he was almost out of gentle. He opened his eyes and looked down at Carter. The sight of his beautiful lips wrapped around Reid’s cock as his head swayed back and forth caused a tremor of heat and need to roll through Reid.
