A Marked Man

by Sandrine Gasq-Dion

  Mateo sighed. “He is your love.” She smiled at Mateo showing a gold tooth.

  “How much, lady?” Mateo took out his wallet.

  “Oh no, I tell you for free. This man, he is your love. You must protect him.” Mateo looked at Riley with his eyebrow raised. When he turned back she was gone. He looked around but she had vanished. He heard Riley’s soft chuckle and looked over at him. “Shut up.”

  “I’m your love.” Riley smiled and walked towards the big top tent.

  “Jesus.” Mateo rolled his eyes. He was never going to hear the end of it. It was finally getting dark and the visiting band came out on stage. Mateo heard the announcer’s voice telling them it was Cheap Trick and Riley smiled, dragging Mateo over to the main stage. The band came out and the first song Mateo recognized right away. It was “The Flame”, and he felt Riley take his hand.

  “Let’s dance!” Riley bounced up and down, his fifty gallon hat bopping up and down.

  “I don’t dance, Riley.”

  “Please? Come on, I never got to do any of this stuff.”

  Mateo looked at Riley, he was pouting. It was fucking endearing, and he sighed in defeat. “Fine.” Riley actually giggled, and Mateo couldn’t help but smile. He took him in his arms and held him close as they swayed to the music. The damn hat was hitting him in the face and he pulled it off looking into Riley’s big blue eyes. He almost sighed. Dammit, he was developing feelings for Riley.

  Riley’s arms came around his neck, and Mateo pulled Riley in closer resting a hand on his ass, his other hand at the small of Riley’s back. Mateo’s lower body was responding quite quickly to Riley being close to him, and he argued with his dick to behave. Mateo finally closed his eyes and breathed in Riley’s scent. They swayed slowly and Mateo was listening to the lyrics of the song.

  Shit, how appropriate.“I always loved this song.” Mateo

  whispered in Riley’s ear. “ You’re a good dancer.” Riley closed his eyes and hid his face in the crook of Mateo’s neck. He inhaled Mateo’s scent and that’s when it hit him. Mateo’s cologne was the same cologne he had smelled at the curtain room. Riley pushed away a little and looked in Mateo’s eyes. Was Mateo the man from the curtain room? Riley’s heart was pounding in his chest and the way Mateo was looking at him just then…

  “ Riley?” Mateo looked into Riley’s eyes. His fingers caressed Riley’s cheek with the pad of his thumb as his hand moved to the nape of Riley’s neck. There was something in Riley’s eyes; it wasn’t the look he’d seen so many times before from countless men. It wasn’t lust. It was a look of longing. Mateo dipped his head, hovering inches from Riley’s mouth. As their eyes met, Mateo could see Riley wanted to be kissed. Their breaths mixed as Mateo brushed his lips across Riley’s softly. Mateo’s tongue teased across the seam of Riley’s lips, and his mouth opened to him. Their tongues twined, Mateo’s fingers threading into the hair at the nape of Riley’s neck pulling him in, deepening the kiss. God he knew this mouth, the kiss was one he’d never forget. Mateo broke from the kiss breathing heavily. “It’s you. You’re the guy from the curtain room.”

  “ Yes.” Riley’s body was shaking in Mateo’s arms. He looked around them to see if anyone had noticed, and found other men were dancing together. They were kissing, and oblivious to everyone around them.

  “ We need to go.” Mateo took Riley’s hand, leading him away from the stage. Once he got Riley in the car, they headed back towards Derek’s. Mateo kept his eyes on the road, all while thinking about the situation. Riley was the man from the curtain room. Riley had sucked his dick twice. Riley was the man that had kissed him, the kiss that knocked him on his ass. They were back at the house and Mateo hit the keypad to get in. Once the door shut behind them he set it again. The locking mechanism engaged and Mateo stood in front of Riley.

  Riley looked up into Mateo’s eyes. “I…I guess we need to talk abou—” Riley was cut off. Mateo grabbed him by the back of the neck, crushing their lips together. A groan rose from Riley’s chest as Mateo’s hands gripped his ass, squeezing. Mateo picked him up under his thighs carrying him to the dining room table. Riley’s shirt was coming off fast, and then Mateo’s strong hands were exploring his chest. Mateo’s hands made their way to the button of Riley’s pants, popping the button and lowering the zipper with a purr. His hand gripped Riley’s leaking dick, sliding up and down his shaft sending waves of pleasure through him. “Oh God…”

  “You like that?” Mateo licked Riley’s bottom lip, sucking it in and biting it. “ Harder.” Riley moaned, drowning in the sensations he felt when Mateo licked his neck and bit his collar bone. He felt a soft sucking and realized Mateo was marking him. Damn that was sexy…

  “ Fuck. I thought about you that first night, your lips wrapped around my dick. You are fucking talented. The second time was just as good if not better.” Mateo whispered in his ear. “I would love to feel your ass wrapped around me.”

  “Ungh.” Riley whimpered. He wanted to speak, he

  reallydid, but his senses were on overload. Between

  Mateo’s hand and mouth, he was having a hard time trying to put two damn words together. He settled for tearing Mateo’s shirt off and smiled when he was rewarded with a soft gasp. His hands found Mateo’s succulent ass and he sunk his fingers in it pulling Mateo closer to him. “Bed.” Riley managed to spit it out.

  “ Oh fuck yes.” Mateo picked him up and they made their way down the hall to Mateo’s room kissing and pulling at each other’s clothes. They landed on the bed, and Mateo went to work pulling off Riley’s pants. Riley’s boxers came down and Mateo got a good look at that cock that he loved. It curved slightly to the side and lay glistening on Riley’s hip. “Hot damn!” Mateo leaned over and ran his tongue through the slit, relishing the taste of Riley. His tongue made a slow circle around the crown and he sucked on it, wrapping his lips around the velvet smooth skin.

  “ Fuck.” Riley’s head went back as Mateo continued to suck and tease his cock. He hadn’t let anyone give him head in a long time, and this was so fucking good. He fisted the sheets as Mateo took him in deeper.

  “ I have to taste you, all of you.” Mateo groaned pushing Riley’s legs up by his ears. Mateo almost bent him in half and lowered his own head, tongue swiping at Riley’s aching hole. He pressed his thumbs in opening him up and slid his tongue in hearing Riley’s ragged breaths and low groans.

  “ Holy shit!” Riley was ripping the sheets off the bed. Fuck. Mateo knew what he was doing. He had never had a rim job, and the feel of it… There were no words to describe how it felt. Riley’s dick was aching and he gripped it, stroking himself. He watched Mateo as he continued to lap at him, flicking him, teasing him with every tongue stroke. His dick just kept getting harder. Mateo’s face was buried in his ass. Licking, sucking every damn inch of him, teasing Riley to the brink, and then falling back. Mateo’s eyes locked on his as he flicked his tongue around Riley’s hole, his tongue lapping and teasing, his fingers playing with Riley’s balls. “Please…” Riley begged, his dick was going to explode if he didn’t get something and soon. The pressure in his balls was building and he wanted Mateo in his ass.

  “You want to feel me inside you?” “ Yes…” Riley nodded his head eyes glazed, and watched as Mateo grabbed his wallet pulling a condom out. He pulled a bottle of lube out of the drawer and covered his fingers with it. He slid one finger in, feeling Riley’s chute tighten around it as he passed the ring of muscles.

  “Fuck that’s tight.” Mateo groaned thinking how nice it was going to be sliding into that hot tight ass. He slipped another finger in, feeling resistance from Riley. He let his legs down and leaned over him kissing him softly. His tongue teased Riley’s bottom lip and then slid inside that warm mouth, searching every damn delicious corner. Riley’s soft moans were turning him on and he teased his hole with the tip of his cock. Riley was writhing beneath him and Mateo couldn’t help but think Riley couldn’t look more beautiful than he did in the throes of passion.r />
  “Fuck me.” Riley grabbed him pulling him down. Mateo slipped the condom on and pressed the head in, feeling Riley clamping down on him immediately. “Shhh…” Mateo kissed him and bit his lips softly. “Relax and let me in.”

  “ Ohhh…” Riley tried. He didn’t want Mateo to know he’d never been with a man and had zilch experience. He tried to relax as Mateo kissed him, a warm teasing tongue played with his own. He loved the taste of Mateo, and the man sure knew how to kiss. The more Mateo slid in, the more he would tense up. He couldn’t relax, as hard as he tried. He felt Mateo stop and his eyes flew up to see Mateo looking at him.

  “Why didn’t you say something?” Mateo caressed Riley’s inner thigh.

  Riley felt the blush hitting his cheeks. “I haven’t done this before, and I didn’t want you to stop.”

  “The last thing I want to do is hurt you, we don’t have to do this.”

  “No, I want to, I just…I can’t seem to relax.” “ Just breathe.” Mateo leaned down and took Riley in his arms, kissing him. His hand found the bottle of lube and he applied more to Riley and himself. He slipped his finger in, watching Riley’s face the whole time. He forgot how young Riley was, and he obviously didn’t sleep around. The thought of what could have happened hit him, and he looked down in Riley’s face. He had almost taken Riley’s life. One shot one kill, the motto of a sniper. But Mateo couldn’t do it and he should have known it wasn’t meant to be when he couldn’t pull the trigger.

  “ What’s wrong?” Riley looked in Mateo’s eyes seeing almost what looked like confusion and possibly regret. God, he felt like an idiot. He was inexperienced, and obviously Mateo wasn’t used to having to slow down for some kid that didn’t know jack shit about fucking.

  “ Nothing.” Mateo saw the look in Riley’s eyes and smiled. “Just hang on. We’ll take it slow ok?” Riley had a small smile on his face. Mateo shook his head clear and pressed another finger in, his thumb caressing Riley’s balls as he worked his two fingers in a circle. “Want another one?”

  “ Yes.” Riley felt the pressure of another finger. He closed his eyes and tried to regulate his breathing as they pressed up looking for that one spot. Mateo grazed

  his prostate and Riley let out a loud moan.Oh God, but that felt fucking good.Riley spread his legs out further

  and pressed down on Mateo’s fingers, fucking them. With slow deep strokes, Mateo’s fingers rubbed his prostate. His stomach knotted and warmth spread throughout his body.

  “Feels good?” Mateo nipped at Riley’s bottom lip.

  “ More.” Riley felt the fingers sliding in up to the knuckle and let out another low groan as Mateo brushed his prostate again.

  “ Okay, relax now.” Mateo pulled out his fingers and slipped inside Riley slowly. He managed to get the head in before Riley clamped down on him. He smiled when Riley blushed again and his mouth opened to apologize. Mateo took his mouth and gave him a slow lingering kiss.

  “ Mmmm...” Their tongues met, and Riley’s hands went to Mateo’s hair holding him firmly in place. It was just like the last kiss in the curtain room, soft, exploratory and downright sensual. Riley didn’t even realize Mateo’s balls were on his ass until they came up for air.

  “ Better?” Mateo smiled at him. Riley’s hair was slicked back with sweat and his lips were slightly bruised. Riley’s blue eyes looked back into Mateo’s hazel ones.

  “Yes.” Riley closed his eyes as Mateo pulled out slowly. He tried to brace himself for the pain.

  “Close your eyes.” Mateo ran his lips over Riley’s ear whispering. “Don’t wait for it, relax and welcome it.” “ Okay.” Riley closed his eyes and felt Mateo’s dick gliding over his prostate. After a few more slow thrusts, the pain became pleasure and he gripped Mateo’s shoulders hooking a leg around his waist, pulling him in.

  It took every ounce of control Mateo had not to slam into him, that warm tight ass surrounding his dick. He’d never had an ass this tight. He slid back into Riley harder, waiting for a reaction. There was a low rumble in Riley’s throat, so Mateo did it again. “Jesus Riley.” Mateo drew back slowly, closing his eyes as his arms shook. He pushed back in just as slow, feeling every nerve in his cock screaming to go faster, harder. Riley’s hips were thrusting into his and Mateo couldn’t hold back anymore. He drew back and slammed into Riley. A loud gasp entered Mateo’s mouth from Riley’s and he thought he’d gone too far. Riley’s hips came up to meet him again. They moved together, and Mateo held Riley’s shoulder as he slammed into him harder with each thrust. Their balls slapping against each other, Mateo felt his pulling up tight. Hooking Riley’s legs under his arms and hoisting him up, Mateo slammed into him at an angle.

  “ Ohhh Fuck…” Thick ropes of cum shot up Riley’s stomach almost hitting his chin and a loud guttural moan escaped his lips.

  “ Fuck, that’s sexy!” Mateo growled slamming into Riley with piston fast strokes until his own orgasm hit. He shot into the rubber full force, feeling his whole body shake as a hoarse cry left his lips. He collapsed on top of Riley, breathing hard. His fucking brain had just left with the rest of him into a little latex bag. Mateo kissed Riley’s shoulder, softly running his tongue across it, working his way to that beautiful neck. He kissed it softly, hearing Riley’s slow even breaths. “You ok?” Mateo ran his hand through Riley’s hair.

  Riley nodded and tried to find his voice. The man had just fucked the shit out of him. Now he knew where the expression had come from. “Yes.”

  Mateo rose up on one arm and looked down in Riley’s face. He had a look of complete and utter satisfaction on it. “Are you sore?”

  “Hell yeah I am.” Riley snorted and laughed at himself for doing it. gn=" You should have said something before. I could have prepared you better, or shit, I could have bottomed.”

  Riley’s eyes went wide. “Now you tell me?” “ Sorry.” Mateo pulled out slowly, rolling onto his back, and stared at the ceiling. It was comical how life took its twists and turns. The guy he would have killed happened to be the best blow job he’d ever had. What a waste that would have been. He still couldn’t believe Riley was the man from the curtain room, he just seemed so shy. It was hard to imagine him being the same forceful guy he’d encountered twice. Riley’s eyes were closed, and his chest was rising and falling slowly now. Mateo ran his finger down Riley’s chest, watching the skin break out in tiny bumps.

  “ Thanks…you know, for being patient.” Riley watched as Mateo got up and headed for the bathroom naked. Mateo had a nice round ass with dimples on each side. He almost sighed looking at it.

  “ No problem.” Mateo watched as the blush crept into Riley’s cheeks, he leaned down and kissed his lips softly. Pulling away from the kiss, Mateo realized the situation was getting far too comfortable. He needed to put some distance between them. Mateo opened the bedroom door and looked at Riley. “We should get some sleep.”

  “ Okay.” Riley realized Mateo was kicking him out. He’d just lost his virginity and was being kicked to the curb. The hurt and shame washed over him like a tsunami and Riley couldn’t get out of the room fast enough. His leg tangled in the sheet and he almost tripped. A strong arm grabbed him before he hit the floor. “Let go of me.” Riley snarled.

  “What the fuck is wrong with you?” “ Just let me go okay? You got what you wanted from me!” Riley pulled his arm back. Okay fine, so he was naïve about fucking, but he knew when he was being used and it wasn’t a good feeling.

  “Jesus! What the hell Riley?” Mateo pulled Riley around to face him. He could see the tears just under the

  surface.Ah fuck.

  “I get it okay? You fucked the virgin and now you’re done. Just let me go. I’ll sleep in the other room.”

  Mateo sighed and rubbed his face with both hands. “Just get in the bed.”

  “Fuck you.” “ Get. On. The. Bed.” Riley crossed his arms and looked up at him with a petulant glare. Mateo picked Riley up and threw him on the bed. Riley bounced once and Mateo jumpe
d on top of him. “Look, this is new to me okay? I don’t sleep with people after I fuck them. I’m usually a mile away after the act, so please calm the fuck down.”

  “You know everything about me! I don’t know shit about you, and you seem to like it that way.” “ What do you want to know Riley? I’m an assassin, I kill people. I’ve never been married and I don’t plan on it in the future.”

  “Where did you grow up?”

  “Everywhere,” Mateo sat back straddling Riley. “I was a foster kid, okay?” “ But don’t…I mean foster kids eventually get adopted….” Riley saw the flash of anger in Mateo’s eyes and swallowed hard. “I…I’m sorry.”

  “I want you.” Riley sat up and reached out to Mateo.

  “No one wanted me okay? Happy now?” “ Riley…” Mateo sighed and grabbed Riley’s hand. “God this is a bad idea. You have no idea who I am. This thing you have for me, it’ll pass and you’ll find the right guy.”

  “ I want you. I know you want me too, Mateo. The way you kiss me and touch me, it’s not robotic. You have feelings for me, and they come out when you kiss me.”

  “Just...” Mateo stood up and backed away from the bed. “Just go to sleep.”

  “So I can stay?”

  “No cuddling.” Mateo pointed a finger at Riley.

  “Okay, no cuddling.” Riley rolled over on the bed and pulled the blanket up. “Good Night Mateo.” “ Good night Riley.” Mateo used the restroom and when he came back, he found Riley fast asleep. He crawled into the bed and lay on his side looking at Riley’s face. The feelings he was having were foreign to him. Mateo had never been so attracted to someone. And kissing? That was a no-no, and yet he’d kissed Riley more than once. Mateo picked Riley’s hand up gently, and kissed his fingertip. Riley moaned softly and nestled into
