Straight Up

  “Feels good,” Jake ground out.

  “I’m going to slide in now. Bear down, it’ll help with the pain, and tell me if it hurts too much.”

  “Okay.”

  Brent pressed forward, glad he was finally doing this with Jake. They were close, and if they never did this, he would be fine, but he did enjoy the act of slipping into a hot hole. That it was Jake’s, made it even better. He slid in and his head swam as his eyes rolled up in his head. He had to pause or risk going wild, pounding into Jake. He didn’t want to go too fast but Jake pushed all his buttons. The man was so desirable he wasn’t sure he could contain himself.

  Brent pushed in deeper, and Jake groaned. “Oh God.”

  Brent stilled. But Jake pushed his hips back, forcing Brent’s cock in more. He pulled out a bit and Jake gasped, muttering as Brent stilled.

  “Brent, fuck.”

  His heart was hammering, and his head spun. “Should I stop?”

  “No, more. Fuck me harder.”

  Brent slid in deeper then pulled out a little. Jake moaned and arched before reaching down and grabbing his balls. Jake was panting, his mouth open as he cried out. He looked wild, almost feral as he took Brent’s cock. It was so hot to watch he risked blowing too early.

  Brent stilled and let go of Jake’s leg, easing it to the mattress. He adjusted so his chest was closer to Jake’s back. This was everything he’d ever wanted. Jake was so much more than he’d ever had. There were deep emotions between them. This wasn’t just fucking; this was love.

  “Do you like this?”

  Jake moaned, the sound vibrating through Brent’s chest. “God yes. Fuck so good.”

  Brent pulled out then slid in slower. Jake pressed back, whimpering for more. Brent held Jake closer, plastering his chest to Jake’s back. He kissed the space between Jake’s shoulder blades as he rocked in.

  Making love to Jake made him feel complete. He could never leave Jake. He’d loved Jake for years, but now he was in love with the man so much he knew it would never end.

  His body heated and he wasn’t going to be able to hold back. Fucking Jake was better than any sex he’d ever had. Jake wasn’t just another pretty face; he wasn’t just hot; he was the perfect mate for Brent.

  He tried to hold off, but his body had other plans. He slammed in then pulled out, pressing in again. He was moving fast, fucking Jake hard. They were both grunting, and sweat slicked their skin. He reached around and grabbed Jake’s cock, jacking him as he fucked him from behind. His balls pulled up and there was no holding back. Making love to Jake was the pinnacle of everything good. His emotions spiraled higher. Being inside Jake, connected like this, had him ready to come.

  Brent called out Jake’s name as he came. Hot ass squeezed tight, sending him into an almost trancelike state as his cum filled the condom. Jake twitched below him, his breath coming in gasps.

  He pulled out slowly, making sure the condom came with him. There were times he’d stood up, pulled on his clothes and left without saying anything after fucking someone. This wasn’t like those times at all. He removed the condom and tied it off, dropping it onto a tissue before rolling back to Jake and wrapping his arms around him. He felt connected on such a deep level he knew he would never be able to walk away from Jake.

  The very air he breathed was infused with Jake. He drew in a long breath, closing his eyes so he could memorize Jake’s scent. It was beautiful and dark, but earthy and sweet too. Jake was hope and love and an amazing future all rolled into one. He hated that Jake had been fired because of him. Pain knifed him, and he had to push it away.

  Brent kissed the nape of Jake’s neck then down his body to his mid back before sitting up and rolling Jake over so he could see his face.

  “Are you okay?” Brent asked.

  “Yeah, I just…”

  Brent smoothed his fingers over Jake’s lips and his cheek. “Tell me.”

  “When I would have sex before, you know with a woman, it was never like what we did.”

  “How was it with me?”

  Jake’s cheeks turned a darker pink and his eyelids closed for a second. When he opened his eyes, his gaze was full of heat and something deeper that twisted Brent’s insides.

  “With you, it was more than I’ve ever experienced. I mean, wow. I’ve never felt like my whole body was anyone else’s, but with you, I had no control. I was fully and completely yours.”

  Brent lowered and brushed his lips over Jake’s. “And I’m yours.”

  “I don’t know what to do with myself.”

  Brent’s heart softened. “You’ll figure it out. Let’s get up and get some coffee, go for a run, then shower. We’ll eat some breakfast and drink more coffee. Once we finish eating, you’ll get dressed and start applying for jobs.”

  Jake nodded and gave him a smile. “Okay, I can do that.”

  He worried about Jake, but already this morning, the man seemed better. Depression had come but was already starting to fade. Brent had faith Jake would get through this and come out on the other side better off. He was resilient, and if he could survive the minefields they’d traversed in the military, he could survive this.

  Jake was trying hard to hold it together. Brent was amazing, and sex with him had been out of this world. He’d never experienced anything like it before. They’d gone for a run and done some pushups, but he was sore from sex. He squeezed his ass and pleasure filled him.

  Brent looked up, his gaze connecting with Jake’s. Heat filled him as he thought about what they’d done. He hung up his phone, ending the call he’d been on.

  “Why are your cheeks pink?” Brent asked.

  “I was thinking of you.”

  Brent smiled and his eyelids narrowed. “I have a couple more calls I need to make, but after that, I want to strip naked and explore each other’s body”

  Heat washed over Jake. “Fuck, you’re amazing.”

  Brent chuckled and turned back to his computer. Jake had filled out six applications, sent his resume in to ten companies, and was officially exhausted. He moved to the kitchen and filled his glass with water. After drinking half he turned to watch Brent. The guy was so freaking sexy he couldn’t keep his hands off him. Brent hung up the phone and Jake moved in close, kissing the back of his neck.

  Brent went slack in his seat and leaned his head back. Jake nibbled his way over to Brent’s mouth and delivered a hot kiss. He was hard now and ready for more than a little tongue play. Brent moaned as his lips left Jake’s. He stood, ready to take this to the bedroom.

  “I have one more call I need to make.”

  “I’ll be waiting in the bedroom.” Jake looked over Brent’s shoulder, seeing the screen pulled up. Something didn’t look right. He paused and studied the code on the screen. “I don’t mean to be looking over your shoulder, but that’s not right.”

  “What?” Brent leaned in close, staring at the computer screen.

  “The line, four down. It’s not right. It opens up access to anyone.”

  Brent stiffened and shook his head. “No way. Shit, let me look. It seems to be… Oh fuck, I see what they did. I didn’t even catch that. I should have caught it.”

  “It’s no biggie.”

  “No it is. This is a program for a bank. They were asking me to check security for them, and I didn’t catch it. Of course, I still needed to do one more run through, but you saw it right off.”

  “Can I?” Jake pulled a chair over and scrolled through the code, looking for loopholes and backdoors. He found another issue toward the end. “Someone was going to steal information. They may have been able to access the money, but they were lining themselves up to take names, addresses, social security numbers, and other private information.”

  “Want a job?”

  Jake straightened and stared at Brent. “What?”

  “If you joined me, I could take on more work.”

  Jake wasn’t sure if working together was the best idea. They were already livin
g together, and what if Brent got tired of him. He didn’t want their lives to have too much stress.

  “You know, working together might be difficult,” Jake said.

  “Okay, so how about you keep looking for a job but join me for a few weeks and help me with some time intensive tasks, like reviewing code. It would free me up to work on my program. I won’t take any new clients, but I’ll spend half my day developing, and you can spend half your day making sure my customers are compliant.”

  Jake nodded, feeling a little bit better about his situation. What if they could work together, or what if he could develop some business consulting on his own? He was young and fresh out of school, but he wasn’t stupid. His grades had been good, and he could learn a lot from Brent.

  The idea grew each day, and by the end of the next week, he had opened a website, created some marketing material, and had sent out a few inquiries. None of the companies he’d submitted his application to had replied. Normally, the lack of response would have been depressing, but he felt okay after spending a week working with Brent. He had hope he would make it. Brent had been able to devote enough time on his program to almost finish it, and Jake had reviewed all of the code for Brent’s customers.

  He and Brent were at the grocery store debating about how much money to spend on dinner when he ran into Will.

  “Hey, I haven’t heard from you in a while, what’s going on?” As Will finished his question, Chris walked around the end of the aisle holding up a package of organic blue chips.

  “I got the—hey, Jake, it’s good to see you. I was going to call and see if you wanted to get…” Chris’ voice died off as he turned to look at Brent. “Hello, there. And who are you?”

  Jealousy rolled through Jake as Chris took Brent’s hand and didn’t let go. Will moved in close, his smile wide as he threw his arm over Chris’ shoulder.

  “Hi, are you a friend of Jake’s?” Will asked.

  Brent nodded. “Um yeah, I am. I’m his boyfriend.”

  Chris and Will turned to stare at each other and then their gaze fell on Jake.

  “Fuck, you two are hot,” Chris said.

  His cheeks heated, and for some strange reason, he wished his friends didn’t know. Anger twisted through him. Why was he embarrassed?

  Jake pushed away the odd feelings and moved closer to Brent. “This is Brent; he moved here a few days ago.”

  Chris’ eyes twinkled with merriment. “Now your questions make sense. I was wondering if you were thinking about going gay.”

  He glanced at Brent and smiled. “We were in the Marines together.”

  “Fuck, even hotter,” Will said.

  “You have to come over to dinner tomorrow. We want all of the details.” Chris’ eyes were wide, his cheeks pink.

  “All the details?” Jake asked.

  “Yeah, everything,” Chris said.

  Brent laughed and slung his arm around Jake. “We probably won’t spill all of the beans.”

  “Party pooper.” Will grabbed the back of his neck and blew out a breath. His eyes went from Jake to Brent. “Hot damn, I’m getting hard thinking of the two of you together.”

  “Tomorrow at six. Does that sound okay?” Chris asked.

  “Are you okay with going over to their place tomorrow?” Jake looked at Brent, hoping he wouldn’t have an issue.

  “Sure, it should be fun.”

  They said their goodbyes and continued shopping. When they got home, Brent helped him put away the food then found himself pressed up against the refrigerator, his hands held at his sides. For a second, he thought Brent was mad, then he saw hot lust burning in his eyes.

  “Your friends want to fuck you.”

  He shook his head. “No. What makes you say that?”

  “The way they were looking at you. What do you think they would think about this?” Brent reached for the front of Jake’s pants and undid the button then lowered the zipper.

  “I don’t know.” Heat filled Jake, and he suddenly had a difficult time breathing.

  Brent shoved Jake’s pants low and reached into his underwear, stroking his cock.

  “Do you think they would like to watch me jack you?”

  Jake bit his lower lip and rocked his hips, fucking Brent’s hand. “Maybe.”

  Brent spun him around and grabbed his ass cheeks, squeezing hard. “You are one delicious slice of cake. Fuck, Jake, you keep me turned on all the time. I want to sink into you and stay buried deep.”

  Jake pressed back, grinding his ass against Brent. “Fuck me.”

  Brent moaned. “I’m going to, right here. Don’t move while I go grab a condom and some lube.”

  Jake stood in place, his cock growing harder as he waited for Brent to return. Heat filled him as he waited to be fucked. Then Brent was back and moved in close, pressing Jake up against the refrigerator again.

  “Right here, Jake. Every time you step into the kitchen, I want you to think about me fucking you right here.”

  He braced himself, jumping a little when Brent slid one finger into his ass, searching for his hot spot.

  “That’s it, relax and let me do you.”

  He closed his eyes and submitted to Brent’s touches. The feel of Brent’s mouth on his neck and back took him higher. Then when Brent reached around and toyed with his nipples, Jake thought he was going to come unglued. He was hard, precum beading at the tip of his dick. He was ready for Brent, but the man kept caressing and kissing him.

  When Brent finally did enter him, he gasped and pressed back. Pain spiked, but it died out quickly as Brent rocked his hips, holding Jake tight as they fucked.

  “You’re the only man I want,” Brent growled. “The other ones can’t have you. You’re mine.”

  Jake couldn’t reach down to stroke himself because Brent was riding him hard and he had to keep both hands on the refrigerator or risk being pressed against the metal surface. His balls pulled up, and he looked down, seeing how big his cock was. He needed to come, but Brent had him where he couldn’t move.

  “Brent, I need…”

  Brent stilled and reached down, his fingers wrapping around the base of Jake’s cock. “I know what you need. Don’t come yet.” Brent slid out slowly then back in, his cock brushing over Jake’s gland, sending him spiraling with desire.

  “Oh fuck. Please,” Jake begged as the need to come grew.

  “No, don’t come.” Brent slowed his movements, driving Jake crazy. Jake could feel Brent shaking and knew he was going to explode if he didn’t come. They’d been together enough for him to anticipate what set Brent off and how he felt right before he blew his load.

  Jake tried to move his hand to jack himself so he would come, but Brent covered Jake’s hands, holding them in place.

  “Don’t come yet.”

  “Oh God,” Jake yelled.

  “Yeah, that’s it. Let me fuck your cum right out of you.” Brent slammed in and Jake screamed. He closed his eyes and started whimpering as his balls pulled up so tight he wasn’t sure he would ever see them again.

  Brent’s hips jerked back then pushed forward quickly. His breathing was ragged, and he went from holding Jake’s hands to wrapping his arms around Jake’s chest, holding on tight.

  “Oh fuck, Jake,” Brent cried out.

  Electricity shot through Jake, leaving him shaking. He was so close, then it popped, and he watched his cum spray out of his cock, splatting against the refrigerator. The orgasm was so hard his whole body shook, and his knees started to give out. Brent held him up and turned him around.

  “You’re special, Jake. You’re hot, but it isn’t the reason I’m with you.”

  Their gazes connected, and he blinked a few times as the words sank in. “Why are you with me? I’m really nothing special.”

  “Because I love you, but you already know I do. You’re sweet and smart. You have ethics others lack. You don’t let me get away with shit, never have. There’s this thing I can’t describe, it’s more than how smart you are or
how nice you are, it’s you.”

  Jake cupped Brent’s cheek with one hand while the other roamed over Brent’s chest and down to his abs.

  “I’ve never been this close to anyone. I feel like you have a piece of my soul. I love you. It’s only been a week, but I know I would have been destroyed when I was fired if you hadn’t been here.”

  Brent sighed. “I still feel bad about you losing your job.”

  “Don’t. My ex-boss is a bigot. It wasn’t your fault. I thought he was nice, but he’s not.”

  “So Chris and Will, have they ever tried anything with you?” Brent grabbed his underwear and pulled them on, his gaze flicking to Jake.

  “You’re jealous.”

  Brent shook his head. “No I’m… Okay, I am. I just—”

  “Brent, you have nothing to be jealous about. They’ve never done anything. They’re friends.”

  “How’d you meet them?”

  “I was on campus late because I couldn’t sleep. Chris found me and I ended up eating Christmas lunch at a charity thing. Then I helped he and Will at the function. They invited me over and we became friends.”

  Brent’s lips tugged up and he brushed a sweet kiss over Jake’s shoulder sending a shiver through him.

  “I’m glad you had friends here.”

  He thought about the way Chris and Will had accepted him. He hadn’t been a great friend to them, but he appreciated them. “It saved me. I should call more, but life has been hard. I was so sad, and then they were nice. When I figured out they were gay, it made me think.”

  “I’m so sorry we argued,” Brent said.

  “It wasn’t your fault. You tried to get in touch with me, but I couldn’t deal with everything. I was torn. I didn’t know what to do. It was difficult, to say the least.”

  “I’m sorry we fought.”

  “I am too. So much time wasted,” Jake said. “I wrote you emails but didn’t send them.”

  “What? I want to read them.”

  “I eventually deleted them, I think. They weren’t important or good. Just notes about how I felt.”

  “How did you feel?”
