“ I’m going to want to make love to you if you keep talking like that.” Josh smiled, feeling Mark’s soft skin under his hands.
“ I promise not to complain.” Mark ran his hand down Josh’s chest. The muscles rippled under his hands. Mark felt a small shiver run through Josh as his hand descended lower, running over the ridges in Josh’s abs.
Josh pulled him closer, gripping his ass. “Look, I know this is going to sound funny, but I want to do this right, okay? I’ve spent my whole life jumping into bed with women, never wanting to know a damn thing about them. I want this to be different with us. I want us to get to know each other before we make love.”
“That’s so sweet.” Mark smiled and watched Josh raise an eyebrow. “What?”
Are you making fun of me?”“
Mark chuckled and kissed Josh, biting his lip. “Nope, I feel honored that you want to take things slow with me.” “ I really want this to work. I want it to be different, because it’s special, you know?” Josh felt like an idiot. He sighed and lay back.
“ Hey.” Mark pulled his face toward his own. “I do know, okay? This is new to you, being with a man, especially since you haven’t….well you know.”
“ Had sex with a guy?” Josh smiled when Mark nodded. “Well, if it’s okay with you, I’d like to top first. That’s how you say it right? Top?”
“Yes…just be gentle okay?” Mark smiled and lay on his back staring at the ceiling.
“Oh fuck.” Josh whispered. “I’m so sorry.”
“What?” Mark looked over at him. Josh was looking anywhere but at him. “What is it?” “ I shouldn’t have said that. Look, I can be on the bottom okay?” What the fuck had he been thinking? Mark had spent months being brutalized by some sadistic prick and his selfish ass was asking Mark to bottom?
“ Hey, hey.” Mark took Josh’s face in his hands. “It’s okay, I’m all healed up.” Mark smiled as Josh pulled him in. The kiss started out slow, and then Josh rolled on top of him, gripping his ass cheeks, sliding against him.
Josh felt his cock make contact with Mark’s and fuck, it felt fantastic. He wanted to explore his body inch by inch, to find out what made Mark happy, what made Mark crazy. Josh broke the kiss slowly and licked Mark’s bottom lip. “I want to try something, okay?” Mark nodded, and Josh started with what he did best. Kissing.
Mark whimpered as Josh’s tongue played with his lips, his tongue, and finally pressed inside licking, tasting, searching. Long languid licks as Josh’s hand ran softly ran down his thigh. Mark’s back arched, and he tunneled his fingers in Josh’s hair. “Josh.”
“ God, you are so sexy.” Josh moaned. He moved away from Mark’s lips to trail his jaw line, around to his chin, and down his neck. Mmmmm…the taste of Mark. Damn, Josh never dreamed he would love the taste of another man. He kissed Mark’s neck softly and made his way lower, running his tongue across Mark’s collar bone. He stopped to nibble the soft skin there, before trailing his tongue down to Mark’s nipple. Josh ran his tongue in slow circles around the perked nub and bit softly. Mark’s hips moved impatiently underneath him, and Josh smiled. Oh yeah, he could do this. One thing about being a man is that you knew what you liked, and Josh knew what he liked. He was going to find out if Mark liked the same things.
He ran his hands up and down Mark’s stomach softly; all while his tongue played with Mark’s naval. His fingers slid under the material of Mark’s boxers and pulled them down as Mark lifted his ass to accommodate him. Pressing his nose into Mark’s skin, Josh inhaled his scent. His tongue trailed lower, and he licked a path down one side of Mark’s lower abdomen, flush to his cock. Mark’s legs were shaking as Josh pressed his nose to the side of his cock and ran it upward. Josh stopped at the tip and took a nice long look. A perfectly cut pink head jutted up towards him, round and ready. Precome glistened at the surface, and Josh took a tentative dip to taste. Josh groaned and swallowed, taking another flick of precome onto his tongue.
Josh’s cock was so hard it fucking hurt. He knew what he liked having done to his cock, so he started with that. Swirling his tongue around Mark’s cock, he pressed his tongue in the slit, tonguing the inside. Mark’s hips were bucking underneath his, and Josh put his hands on Mark’s hips to still him. Josh swallowed the head of Mark’s cock, suctioning on the crown. The fact that he was sucking another man’s cock never even crossed his mind as being bad. Josh wanted this so bad, wanted to hear Mark’s soft moans and quiet whimpers. His tongue licked a trail from root to tip, and then back down again. He tilted his head to the side as he wrapped his tongue around the sensitive rim, torturing Mark, before taking the head back inside his mouth and sliding down to bring his nose flush with Mark’s soft pubes.
“ Oh God…Josh.” Mark’s fingers gripped the sheets as Josh took him in, opening his jaw and swallowing Mark whole.
Josh found his rhythm and bobbed up and down, alternating between shallow sucks and deep swallows. Mark was writhing beneath him now and Josh fingered his hole while his other hand massaged Mark’s balls. He felt them tighten in his hand and wondered if he wanted to taste Mark’s cum in his mouth. “Fuck, Mark.” Josh felt Mark’s prick turn to steel under his tongue.
“ Oh God, Oh Fuck.” Warmth spread through Mark, beginning in his stomach and spreading throughout his whole body. His toes curled, his balls drew up, and he emptied his load into Josh’s mouth; hot and hard. “Fuck!”
Josh felt warm semen sliding down his throat and took it. He twirled his tongue around, moving Mark’s cum over his taste buds to get the full experience of it before swallowing. He kept a gentle suck on Mark’s cock until it softened in his mouth, dragging and lingering spasms out of him. Leaving a soft kiss on the head, he drew back and looked at Mark. He was covered in sweat. “You okay?”
“Oh. My. God.” Mark panted.Jesus Christ. “How did
you? When did you?”
Josh smiled and leaned over giving Mark Eskimo kisses. “I just did what I liked.” “ Well fuck.” Mark’s head hit the pillow and he stared at the ceiling. His whole body was tingling and his cock was in shock from the fantastic blow job he’d just gotten. He felt Josh’s hands sliding up his thighs. Mark gave into the urge to let his eyelids close as Josh ran his tongue up his abs and chest, finding his mouth and kissing him deep. The salty taste of his own orgasm flowed into his mouth and Josh pulled away slowly.
“Hungry?” Mark felt his whole body shake with laughter, and sat up on his elbows looking at the perfect man straddling him. “Is that a trick question?” Mark’s eyes focused on Josh’s hard cock bobbing up against his stomach, leaving dots of precome on his abdomen. He sat up on his knees and bent over, taking Josh’s mouth, as his hand gripped Josh’s hard leaking prick.
“ Fuck…Mark that feels so fucking good.” Josh’s lips feathered lightly over Mark’s as he felt Mark’s hand sliding up and down his cock, squeezing the head and coaxing more precome out. Mark broke the kiss and made his way down Josh’s impressive chest, licking his nipples before making his way lower and licking the head of his cock. “Oh God.” Josh’s head fell back as Mark’s mouth engulfed him. Josh entwined his hands into Mark’s hair, his hips jerking into Mark’s mouth. Mark swirled his tongue around the head of Josh’s cock, and tongued his slit. Fuck, but he couldn’t help himself. Josh fucked Mark’s mouth. Any control he had over himself disappeared when Mark swallowed him. Mark pressed his nose to Josh’s groin, his tongue doing a happy dance around his cock. “Oh Fuck…..Mark, I’m coming.”
Mark opened up his jaw some more and felt the hot cum blast down his throat. His tongue did lazy circles around the head of Josh’s cock before sucking it hard, making sure he got every delicious drop of him before withdrawing and nibbling lightly on the head. He wiped the saliva from his cheeks and looked up at Josh. His eyes were closed and his hips were still slightly bucking. “Fuck, you taste good.”
“ Jesus Christ.” Josh fell back on the bed and pulled Mark down with him, wrapping him up in his arms an
d kissing his forehead. The time he’d spent away from Mark did nothing but strengthen his feelings for the man. He wanted Mark more now than he did before. The minute Josh had seen him through the scope of his rifle he should’ve known his life would change forever. Mark nestled into him and Josh closed his eyes, loving the feel of Mark against his body, his soft skin pressed to his own. “I don’t want to move, but we need sustenance.”
Mark smiled with his eyes closed. “Says who? I just ate.”
Josh growled, rolled over and pinned Mark to the bed. “Goddamn you’re sexy.” Josh licked Mark’s lips and slid his tongue in, tasting himself. It should have tasted strange, but it wasn’t. He tasted Mark and licked the inside of his mouth thoroughly, loving the small moans and whimpers. “Okay, seriously. You need a hot shower. While you do that I’ll cook us some breakfast, then I’m going to take you on a little sightseeing tour.”
Mark hauled himself out of bed and stretched his arms up, looking at the perfect specimen of a man lying on the
pull out couch. Damn, his mouth watered justthinking
about making love to Josh. “Towels?” Josh’s eyes took Mark in from head to toe, pausing briefly on that perfect cock, the cock that had started his fantasizing about Mark Patterson. “Cupboard in bathroom.”
“ If you’re making eggs, try not to burn them.” Mark winked and made his way to the bathroom with a soft chuckle.
“ Oh, ha ha.” Josh got out of bed with a smile. He remembered trying to cook eggs for Mark when he’d taken him to Derek’s house. He’d burned them twice and ended up going to McDonalds for breakfast. As he heard the shower start, he forced himself to concentrate on making breakfast. Six eggs went into the pan along with sausages. He threw some toast in the toaster and looked around for anything else Mark might want. Butter and an assortment of jams lined the table and Josh flipped the eggs, making sure to keep a close eye on them along with the sausage.
~~ Mark let the warm water soothe his aching muscles. Half of him still thought he was dead, but his dick knew better. That was the only body part right now that was aware of what was going on. Mark closed his eyes as the water ran down his face, warming him from the outside in. His cock was already hard again thinking about Josh, the feel of his mouth on his cock, tongue licking with long purposeful strokes. Mark shook his head clear and turned the water off, grabbing a towel. After a quick look in the mirror, he tousled his wet hair and made his way to the kitchen. Josh had his back to him and was flipping the sausage. Mark’s stomach let out a loud groan of approval at the smell. Josh turned with a warm smile on his face.
Sit down; I’ll get you a plate.”“ Mark sat at the table and watched Josh’s ass as he moved around the kitchen. “So you’ve been here this whole time?”
Josh brought the plate over and smiled, handing Mark a napkin and fork. “Yes. I’ve been helping Wayne out here and there, removing bear and wolf traps from where the poachers usually hang out. We’ve already caught a few, but they keep coming back. Wolf pelts sell for a lot out here, and these kids use the money for drugs.” Josh sat down and took a bite of his own food. “I’m kind of glad Dakota sticks around these parts, I worry about him.”
Mark smiled and took Josh’s hand. “He’s a good wolf.” Mark realized what that sounded like. “Wow, it’s not every day I say that.”
Josh laughed and kissed the palm of Mark’s hand. “How have you been? What have you been up to? Obviously Riley and Mateo helped you out. I see Mateo branded you with a bracelet.”
Mark smiled at the silver bracelet. Mateo almost had a coronary when Mark said he was taking off to Alaska on his own. “Yes, that was the only way I was ‘allowed’ to go.” Mark put invisible quotation marks in the air with his fingers. “Of course, Riley was in a fit of laughter, but it all worked out. Those two were meant for each other.” Mark took a bite of his eggs and grinned. “Good, you didn’t burn them.” Josh raised a brow as Mark smiled and pressed on. “So anyway, I went back to work for a bit and told my boss I wanted to quit. He in turn told me to take some time off. Yesterday morning I said my goodbyes.” Mark chewed thoughtfully. “I did have a surprise patient though.”
“ What do you mean?” Josh spread butter on his toast all while watching Mark’s lips as he ate. Jesus, they were so perfect.
“ My ex showed up. I mean it was odd, just out of the blue. I hadn’t seen him since a week before I left for the Amazon, and then all of a sudden he’s there at the hospital.”
“Was he injured?” Josh’s mind was working a mile a minute. He knew that in life, nothing was a coincidence. “ No, just wanted to talk to me, but then never really asked me anything except where was I off to in a hurry.” Mark sat back looking at Josh’s face. “What is it?”
“ I don’t like the sound of this at all. Something’s not right with the whole thing.” Josh played with the food on his plate. “Tell me the whole story. How you met up until the day you left.”
Mark sat back and told the story of Raoul. How he’d come to the emergency room on the night Mark was working. The gash in his head required fifteen stitches and Raoul begged Mark to talk to him while he injected his head and stitched him up. Mark talked about his career in medicine, how his parents had disowned him when he came out, and how he was alone in life. When they were done, Raoul had thanked him and asked him out to dinner to repay his kindness. At first Mark refused, but Raoul had begged so he had finally relented. Raoul had taken him out to dinner and they’d talked some more.
Mark consumed a few too many glasses of wine and when Raoul had kissed him, he didn’t push him off like he should have. After that, Raoul showed up at his work bringing him flowers and asking him out again. After a week, Raoul had talked him into bed. A series of on the run fucks ensued, until Mark was getting ready to leave. He broke things off pretty abruptly, and was surprised that Raoul didn’t fight him about it. Mark looked at Josh’s face. His mind was working and Mark was feeling a little uncomfortable now. “What is it? What are you thinking?”
Josh nodded. “I can’t be sure. I’m going to make some phone calls. In the meantime, we need to get dressed
and head out to the lodge so that I canmakesaid phone
calls. Something’s eating at me and I’m going to figure this out. One way or another.”
~~ Josh made sure Mark was bundled up and they hiked the mile and a half to the lodge. Mark couldn’t believe it wasn’t further, it felt like fifteen miles the night before. Dakota trotted next to them, sniffing the air and keeping close to Josh. Mark smiled and ran his hand through Dakota’s fur, surprised at how soft it was. Spread out for miles around them was a thick blanket of snow. Mark took it all in, and stared with awe. Alaska was beautiful, just as Josh had described. They were nearing the lodge and Mark felt Josh’s hand slide into his own, threading their gloved fingers together. Mark looked up at Josh and saw the wide smile on his face.
Josh gripped Mark’s fingers. “Is this Okay?”
“Yes, of course it is, Josh. I told you, I want you.” Josh stopped walking and pulled Mark to him. He
pulled Mark’s face up to his own and searched his eyes. Their breath mingled, sending puffs of white up into the air around them and Josh leaned in, brushing his lips across Mark’s. The kiss was soft and Josh felt Mark’s mouth opening to him. Their tongues rubbed as Josh dove deeper inside, his tongue searching every delectable corner of Mark’s mouth. They broke from the kiss and Josh rubbed the tip of his nose across Mark’s. “We should go, are you hungry?”
“ I am, actually.” Mark closed his eyes and felt Josh’s nose running up and down his cheek leaving warmth in its path.
“ Okay, let’s find some food.” Josh continued on the path to the lodge and stomped his boots on the front porch, opening the door for Mark. Josh smiled as Dakota found a place to lie down, out of the cold, and rolled up in a ball. “Don’t stay out too long, Dakota.” Josh leaned over and rubbed the wolf behind the ears.
“Is he going to be okay out here?�
� Mark looked around. The sun was out, but it was still cold. “ Yes, if he gets too cold he either comes to my cabin or heads over to Wayne’s. Somehow, I don’t think he likes his pack much.” Josh chuckled as Dakota let out a soft sigh and closed his eyes. “Come on, let’s get you inside and warmed up.”
Mark took a look around the lodge. A large fireplace stood in one corner, with a large tan sectional couch surrounding it. Different types of stuffed bears stood on display around the lodge, along with some of the other local wildlife. The lobby was quiet, but Mark could hear voices somewhere further back in the building. Josh took his hand and they walked through the restaurant and into the back kitchen. Three people sat playing cards with an arrangement of food surrounding them, along with steaming mugs of what smelled like hot chocolate. Mark smiled when one of them looked up. A woman, maybe in her early twenties, smiled when she saw them.
“Well, Josh Montgomery, what brings you here? And who is this sexy specimen of prime male flesh?” Josh chuckled, pulling Mark closer to him. “Wendy, this is my boyfriend Mark. Mark, this is Wendy Harris, Lance Rogers and Patrick Hall. They work here during the off season, keeping the lodge spider and rat free.”
Wendy’s brow arched and she smiled. “Boyfriend, huh? Never would’ve suspected it. But damn, I can see why.” Wendy let her gaze roam over Mark slowly.
“ Hey now,” Josh pulled Mark behind him. “Stop eyeing my man like you just found him on the top shelf at the Man Candy store.”
Patrick laughed and stood up, putting his hand out. “Nice to meet you Mark, it’s about time someone stole Josh’s heart.”
Mark clasped the other man’s hand and smiled. “Well, he didn’t go willingly.”
