by Luna, David


  Cade pulled away to look Braden in the eyes. He leaned forward and kissed the damage Eric did to his temple and eye. He pulled back again and placed his open palm over Braden’s chest. His heart was beating fast and his breathing was faster as well. Cade kissed his nose. “What has your heart beating so fast, baby? Is it me? Do I do this to you?”

  Braden nodded and Cade lifted Braden’s right hand and placed it over his own heart. “You do the same to me. Feel that Braden? It beats for you.”

  He pulled Braden’s hand off of his chest and brought his fingers to his lips. One by one, he kissed Braden’s fingers, sucked one into his mouth, and looked into Braden’s eyes. He bit that finger and soothed it with his tongue. Cade lifted Braden off of his lap, laid him on the bed and straddled his thighs. He ran his fingers softly down Braden’s neck and over his chest. He spent a little time on both nipples, licking, sucking, and nibbling. He loved the feeling of Braden softly rubbing his hands over his head as he did it. He leaned down and kissed Braden’s bruised ribs, kissed down his stomach to his belly button, where he dipped in with his tongue and swirled it in a circle around the outside. Braden squirmed and whimpered. Cade grinned. “I love that, so sensitive.”

  Cade planted open-mouthed kisses from his belly button down to his boxer line and licked just above it, across his belly. He pulled the boxers down, slowly, scooting back as he went; Braden’s hard cock, finally released, pointed up toward his chest. Cade growled in approval. “You’re beautiful when you’re hard for me.”

  Cade bent Braden’s legs up and sat at Braden’s feet, his knees split on either side of them, and slid the boxer briefs off. He stood on the bed and shucked his own boxer briefs in seconds before he was back down on his knees. He pulled one of Braden’s ankles up to his lips and took a bite of his heel, licked up his instep, and then sucked on his big toe. He heard Braden gasp and moan and he repeatedly sucked on his toe until Braden whimpered and the muscles in his leg shook. He chuckled. “So responsive, so fucking sexy. Your body will only ever respond like this to me. I’ll make sure of that. Only my touch, Braden.”

  Braden moaned at the continued assault on his senses, but he responded, helpless to do otherwise. “Only your touch, Z. Only yours.”

  Cade hummed his appreciation. “That’s right, baby.”

  Cade saw Braden’s hand move to grip his hard shaft, and he moved up Braden’s body and loomed over Braden, looking into his eyes. He looked down at Braden’s cock and back up, his own eyes narrowed in challenge. “What did you just say, not ten seconds ago?”

  Braden’s eyes flared big, and he let his cock go in a rush. Cade saw a blush work its way from Braden’s chest to his cheeks. Fuck, he loved that blush. He’d have to figure out a way to make it happen more often. Braden’s eyes twinkled and he pulled his lips into his mouth, like he was trying not to laugh. Cade narrowed his eyes at him. “Cheeky. Don’t do it again.”

  Braden shook his head, acknowledging Cade’s order and when Cade made his way back down to his feet again and continued using teeth and tongue, Braden let out his pent up breath in a whoosh.

  Cade began to kiss, lick and bite his way up Braden’s leg until he was at his inner thigh. He spent some time there, licking and sucking the juncture between thigh and groin. He lightly traced his tongue up and down the crease, thoroughly enjoying making his boy squirm, until he came to Braden’s hip bone where he bit, then kissed and licked across to his other side and bit there as well. Feeling Braden undulate and hearing him moan caused Cade’s voice to deepen to a guttural rumble. “Listen to you, gasping, moaning, so ready. Tell me what you need, baby.”

  That demand must have thrown Braden, as his breath grew shaky and he threw his forearm over his eyes. “You. I need you. Anything, everything. I just need you so much.”

  Cade leaned up and removed Braden’s arm. “Don’t ever be embarrassed or ashamed that you need and want everything from me. I’ll give you that and more.”

  Cade saw the internal struggle play across Braden’s features. He knew something else was going on in Braden’s mind as he watched Braden close his eyes, gather his courage, and open them again. It hit Cade then; Braden didn’t just need his touch and his love to feel clean, he needed his strength and his courage to restore his confidence. The anger at what had been done to his boy flared again, but he pushed it aside. He was careful to keep his voice gentle as he drove his point home. “It’s just you and me, baby. I’ll give you all I have. Until you’re strong enough, you take what you need from me. There’s no shame in that.”

  Braden sucked in a breath, a single tear escaping down into his hairline as he stared up into Cade’s eyes. “How do you always know?”

  Cade kissed along the trail the tear had left, toward Braden’s ear. “You’re a part of me, just as I’m a part of you. That’s how it works between us.”

  Braden nodded, another tear trickling down the side of his face as he told Cade he loved him, over and over, and clasped his face firmly, pulling him down for a deep, passionate kiss. Braden poured so much emotion into the kiss that Cade felt it to his toes. He slid his hand under Braden and gripped the back of his neck, giving Braden what he needed.

  When they finally parted, Cade smiled. “I love you too, baby. So much.”

  Braden traced Cade’s lips with his fingers. “Show me.”

  Cade stared into the depths of Braden’s eyes and saw what he needed to see. Much of the fear and pain that had, moments ago, been etched over Braden’s face was smoothed away, replaced by a trust that humbled Cade. It was exactly what he needed to see to continue showing Braden how much he was loved.

  He bent to lave his tongue down Braden’s neck to his chest where he kissed and bit one of Braden’s nipples, while he pinched and tugged on the other. Braden groaned and skimmed his hand over the back of Cade’s head, begging for more without words. He continued until Braden’s erection, which had flagged, came to life again. He gently rubbed his lips over his damaged ribs and his stomach, and nipped his hip again. He buried his nose in Braden’s curls above his shaft and breathed him in. He smelled fresh, like soap, but also of pure Braden, that smell he always had that drove Cade crazy. “I’m gonna taste every bit of you and you’re gonna beg me for more.”

  He trailed his tongue to the other side and hugged Braden’s thigh to the side of his face as he sucked on his skin there. His other hand gripped Braden’s cock and gave it a tight stroke with a twist at the top and down again where he held it in a firm grip as he laved his way over to Braden’s balls. He palmed them, squeezed gently and reveled in the quick inhale the move garnered from Braden. Keeping his grip light, he lifted them and bent to lick his taint in a circular motion, which caused Braden to suck in another sharp breath between clenched teeth and his hips to rise involuntarily. “Lift your legs. That’s it. God, you’re gorgeous spread open for me.”

  Cade moved lower, placing an open-mouthed kiss on Braden’s smooth, perfectly round cheek. He nibbled and bit lightly on both sides, and thoroughly enjoyed the little catches of Braden’s breath and the whimpers he let out. He kissed and licked his way toward Braden’s center, used both hands to spread him wide open, and rimmed him with his tongue. Braden cut off a groan. “Holy fuck! Mmm, please, more.”

  Cade chuckled. “Like that, baby?”

  All he got was a strangled moan as Braden bucked underneath him. Cade took his time, but finally moved back up to his taint, licked his sack, and traced his tongue all the way up along the underside of Braden’s stiff cock until he could take the head in his mouth and flick it with his tongue. He felt Braden grip his head and hold it in place while pumping his hips up to try to get more of his cock in Cade’s mouth. Cade growled in response, making Braden squirm from the vibrations. He released Braden’s cock with a pop, looked up at him and waited until Braden made eye contact.

  Braden looked down, confused, panting. Cade raised a brow. “Who did you give control to?”

  Braden groaned. “You.”

  �
��Did you change your mind?”

  Braden whimpered. “God, no. Please.”

  Cade kissed and licked the juncture of Braden’s thigh, making Braden writhe within his tight grip. When he looked back up at his boy, Braden’s eyes were heavy lidded and he was panting. “Passing control to me means giving up your own. If it’s too soon, baby, you need to tell me to stop. Do you want me to stop?”

  Braden shook his head. “No, no, no. Please, don’t stop.”

  “If you get scared, if you panic, if it doesn’t feel right, you say stop. Understood?”

  Braden eyes widened, but he managed to nod.

  Cade continued to look him in the eye until Braden realized what he expected and cleared his throat. “Yes. Understood.”

  Cade nodded. “Put your hands above your head and keep them there.”

  Braden moved to comply, his right hand gripping the cast on his left wrist. He maintained eye contact with Cade throughout, as his breathing became faster and his cock dripped precum.

  Cade reached over and grabbed the slick and squeezed some on his fingers. He tossed the tube down and began to massage the slick onto Braden’s ass, slowly massaging outside and in, taking his time, reveling in Braden’s undulating body that was seeking more.

  He raised his other hand to Braden’s sparse happy trail, lightly tickling there, which had Braden making a startled little “eeep” noise and trying to squirm away from his fingers. Cade smiled, filed that information away for later, and slowly slid his hand up to play with Braden’s nipples. He took the tip of Braden’s cock into his mouth, swirled his tongue around the tip and then took it deep, to the back of his throat. Up and down, up and down, over and over again.

  Cade’s fingers explored Braden’s ass, two in, then three, loosening him up. Fuck, he was tight. He swallowed when Braden’s cock hit the back of his throat again and Braden cried out and began to babble incoherently. Cade swallowed down again and pressed upwards with his fingers and hit Braden’s prostate, nudging it several times. When he felt the change in Braden’s movements, he pulled off, gripped the base of Braden’s cock tightly to stop the impending orgasm and gently eased his fingers out of his tight hole. “No, you don’t. Not yet.”

  Braden groaned and choked out, “You’re killing me.”

  Chuckling, Cade sat up on his knees and looked down at his boy. “You’re so damn gorgeous, laid out before me like that, following orders so beautifully.”

  Cade leaned and grabbed the slick, squeezing some more onto his palm. He gripped his cock, stroking it several times, all while looking into Braden’s eyes. He caught the slight hesitation and saw Braden glance down and back up. Cade shook his head. “Don’t tense up. You were made for me. Don’t you know that by now? We’re a perfect fit, Bray.”

  That brought Braden’s eyes back up to his, a gorgeous smile gradually making its way across his face. Cade slowly breathed in, his heart beating faster. “God, I’m so fucking grateful that I found you. You’re so damned strong, baby, even in your surrender to me, so strong.”

  Cade leaned over Braden, gripped his cock, and very slowly slid deep inside of Braden. As he’d promised, they were a perfect fit. Cade squeezed his eyes shut and groaned. When he opened them, he saw the look of pleasure on Braden’s face, making his heart skip a beat. “So tight. God… you’re so… perfectly… tight,” he whispered while he slid in and out on each word.

  He opened his eyes and leaned down on his forearms, bracketing Braden’s arms within his, above Braden’s head. His heavy lidded gaze met Braden’s before they kissed. Cade’s hips moved in a steady, undulating rhythm without pause. “You’re mine, Braden. All of you, mine. Nothing will ever change that. Feel confident in that now, in us.”

  Braden nodded his head, but when he closed his eyes, Cade tugged on his hair until he opened them again. He forced Braden’s eyes to his again, needing Braden to understand his words, to feel them deep inside. He continued driving relentlessly into Braden, hitting his prostate on every go and loving the mewling noises coming from him. His penetrating gaze never wavered. “Your happiness is mine. Your pain is mine. Your pleasure…” Cade felt Braden clench down on him and he groaned and he sped up his thrusts. “Oh god, your pleasure is mine.”

  He reached down between them and gripped Braden’s cock in his firm hand and began to pump in pace with his thrusts. He broke eye contact to suck, kiss, and lick on Braden’s neck, on his favorite spot. He continued his assault on Braden’s neck, bringing goosebumps to Braden’s skin and whispered repeatedly, “Mine.”

  He began to move faster, Braden moving in tandem. He whispered once more in Braden’s ear. “Cum for me.”

  Cade bit down on that sweet spot on Braden’s neck. Braden whimpered and complied immediately, shooting ropes of cum between them, his ass squeezing down on Cade’s cock. The vise-like grip on his cock caused Cade to let go as well, cumming deep within Braden. They both moaned in pleasure, riding out their orgasms, their panting breaths the only sound left in the room. Keeping himself from collapsing on Braden, he gripped Braden’s ass to keep them together and gently flipped them over. Braden settled on top of him and laid his head on Cade’s chest. Cade wrapped his arms around him when he felt the last remaining shudders run through Braden.

  They both drifted in sated bliss for a while, until Cade’s erection finally softened and slipped from Braden. They both moaned at the separation. Cade turned Braden on his side while he got out of bed. He got a warm, wet cloth to clean them both and tossed it into the hamper. When he returned to Braden’s side, he noticed immediately that something was wrong. “Baby, what is it?”

  Braden shook his head and smiled sleepily over at him. “Nothing.”

  Cade waited him out, and Braden finally admitted, “Head and ribs hurt. I’ll be fine.”

  Cade swore under his breath and got Braden some of his pain meds. “I’m sorry. We should have waited.”

  “No! Don’t say that. I’d do it again in a second.”

  Braden popped the pills before lying back down facing Cade and reached out, beckoning him. Cade laid down next to him, drew the covers up and wrapped himself around Braden, careful not to hurt him. He frowned, whispered that he was sorry again and Braden shook his head. “Don’t.”

  Cade narrowed his eyes. “Don’t what?”

  “Feel guilty. Please.”

  Cade sighed and kissed Braden tenderly. “Did I give you what you needed?”

  Braden eyes drooped and he hummed. “That and more.”

  “Good. Sleep now,” Cade ordered gruffly, his arms wrapped protectively around Braden.

  Braden slept soundly for several hours, but nightmares interrupted their sleep sporadically throughout the remainder of the night. Every time, Cade was able to stave them off with his touch and his voice. Cade had a hard time getting back to sleep afterward and spent a lot of time thinking about how to help Braden get past his fears. A few ideas took root in his mind and he drifted off to sleep, hopeful.

  Braden woke alone in bed and felt the stirrings of panic. He looked frantically around before he realized that the bathroom door was open and the shower was going. He got out of bed, took his pain meds, and headed in to join Cade, but heard the water shut off. Leaning against the bathroom door, he grinned as his gorgeous giant pushed the glass door open and stepped out, steam following him. His face and hair were covered with the towel, unaware of Braden’s perusal. Braden almost laughed when he realized his regular-sized towel looked like a hand towel for Cade.

  He smiled at his lover. “You’re beautiful, you know that?”

  Cade lifted his head at that comment and he dragged the towel one last time over his hair before he lowered it to his chest to rub the remaining water from his torso. He tilted his head in that questioning way he had. “You’re the beautiful one, Bray. I’m too scarred up to be beautiful.”

  “That’s where you’re wrong. Those scars just add to the whole package. They just show that you’re a survivor.”

  Cad
e drew closer, his naked body reflected his arousal at seeing Braden fresh from bed. He tamped down his need for his boy and wrapped his arms around him, pulling Braden flush to his body. “Sorry I didn’t wait to shower with you. I was awake for a while and watched you sleep, but you were so out that I didn’t want to wake you. Mmmm, you’re so fucking gorgeous when you’re all tousled and rumpled from sleep. I just want to devour you.”

  Braden looked up at Cade, desire evident in his gaze. “So, devour me.”

  “Baby, you’re hurting, and as much as it was amazing, we’re not repeating last night’s adventures when you ended up in pain.”

  Braden made a disgruntled noise in the back of his throat and Cade chuckled. “I let my family know you were out of the hospital yesterday. My mom texted to ask if you’d like to come to their house for dinner tonight to meet them. Think about it and we can talk about it later. If it’s too soon, we’ll do it another time, no pressure. Do you want to check your levels and take a quick shower while I finish getting ready?”

  Braden sighed at the missed opportunity for another ravishing, smiled at Cade and agreed. He stripped, knowing no one would blame him for the show he put on while doing it. Cade growled, leaned over and spanked him on the ass. “Stop being a tease and get your sexy ass moving.”

  Braden blushed and realized that spank took his arousal from happy morning wood to DEFCON 1 and tried to turn away before his reaction was apparent. He realized he was too late when Cade’s heated and hungry stare consumed him and he found himself unable to move in any direction, held immobile by Cade’s gaze.

  Cade hungrily stalked to Braden, pulled him gently against his aroused body and kissed him senseless. He nipped Braden’s bottom lip and pulled away to get the plastic baggie and some waterproof medical tape. He wrapped Braden’s casted hand, pulled Braden flush to his body once again, and growled as he grabbed Braden’s ass cheeks in his big hands. “You can bet your sweet round ass that I’ll remember that reaction in the near future and we’ll explore it thoroughly. Until then, stop teasing me and get a move on.”
