“I didn’t mean to…”
One small tug and Palani fell against him. Enar shut that smart mouth with his lips, jolting at the first touch of Palani’s wet tongue in his mouth. Then Palani’s right hand grabbed his neck to pull him closer, and his left hand landed on Enar’s ass, and he stopped thinking at all.
Their hungry mouths attacked, then slowed down to explore. Fuck, he tasted like breath mints and a hint of coffee and something sweet, and Enar couldn’t get enough. He traced his lips with the tip of his tongue, Palani trembling against him. “Your lips are chapped,” he whispered. “You should use lip balm.”
“Yes, Doctor,” Palani whispered back before coaxing Enar to open up again. He slipped his tongue in with confidence and proceeded to kiss him until they both ran out of breath.
Finally, they both pulled back, their face an inch apart, both panting. Palani’s eyes had grown darker, his pupils big. His lips were swollen and red, still glistening from their kiss. Enar gently swiped them with his thumb. “Palani, I…”
“Shh,” Palani said, putting his index finger against Enar’s lips. “Don’t speak. Watch. You’re about to see something no man has ever seen before, so make sure you pay attention.”
He took a step back, and when Enar was about to protest, Palani sank to his knees, his eyes never leaving Enar’s.
“What are you doing?”
Palani’s lips curved in that trademark mischievous smile of his. “You have a hard time following instructions, don’t you? I told you, shut up and watch.”
His hands reached out for Enar’s buckle, and he unbuckled him with ease before popping the button of his jeans and dragging the zipper down. All that time, his eyes were trained on Enar’s, gauging his reaction.
Enar bit back the same question he’d asked before—no, following orders didn’t come easy to him as he always struggled to surrender—and forced himself to be patient. When Palani freed his cock, he had a good idea where this was headed. But why?
Palani’s eyes darkened even more. “I believe I owe you a blow job…alpha.”
His willing submission roared through Enar, a rush more powerful than anything he’d ever experienced. “Why?”
“Because we had a bet that there would be a next time and I lost. I want you to fuck me again. For real, this time. And I always keep my promises, so I owe you a blow job.”
He brought his mouth toward Enar’s cock, already leaking in anticipation. Palani’s eyes stayed focused on Enar, even as he licked the head of his cock, smacking his lips when he tasted the precum, then suckled. “Damn, you taste good,” he whispered before dragging his tongue all the way from the top down to the base. “And you’re so fucking big. I’ll never be able to take you in completely.”
Enar swallowed, sweat breaking out all over his body at the sweet torture Palani was bestowing on him. “So you do know how to sweet-talk…”
Palani pulled back and smiled. “Is it working?”
“Did you reckon you had to convince me to fuck you again?”
It was meant as a joke, but Palani’s smile disappeared. “Maybe.”
Enar blinked. “I don’t want your pity.”
Palani rose to his feet in a fluid move, grabbed Enar’s hand, and put it on his crotch, where he encountered a throbbing member. “Does that feel like pity to you?”
Enar shook his head.
“This week has been hard for me, and judging by your need to blow off steam yesterday, it seems like it wasn’t a walk in the park for you either. All I want is to feel good for a while and you do too. Can we do that for each other, Enar? Make each other feel good?”
Enar nodded, mesmerized by Palani’s words, the way he rutted against Enar’s hand, the sexy gravel in his voice. “I can get behind that,” he said.
Palani grinned. “I was counting on you getting behind me.”
Something broke free inside Enar, and he laughed. “I remember warning you before I’d put something else in that bratty mouth of yours.”
“Refresh my memory.”
Still laughing, Enar took his mouth again, shoved his tongue deep inside Palani until he moaned. Enar walked forward until Palani had his back against the wall and dug in for real. His hands got busy, unbuttoning Palani’s jeans and shoving them down until his erect cock sprung free. His large hand circled around both their members, squeezing them together.
“Mmm,” Palani groaned into his mouth. He kicked down his jeans and underwear, and Enar did the same with his own.
“Can I take a rain check on that blow job?” Enar whispered. “‘Cause I’d really like to be inside you…”
Palani kissed him again, a deep, wet kiss, then scraped his teeth along Enar’s bottom lip. “I’d really like that too.”
Enar smiled as he took a step back to whip off his shirt, sighing in admiration as Palani stood naked before him. “Mmm, you’re so gorgeous.”
Palani flashed that smile, which made Enar’s insides tickle. “So you told me. Though you were dead drunk at the time, so I wasn’t sure how much you meant it.”
Enar groaned in embarrassment. “I’m never gonna live that down, am I?”
Palani grabbed his wrist and yanked him against his own body again. “Nope,” he said before kissing him again. “You also waxed poetic about Vieno’s ass,” he teased when they came up for air again. “So I fear my ass is not up to your high standards.”
The lightheartedness warmed Enar. He’d never experienced sex like this, where he was kissed breathless one second and teased the next. “I’d better perform a thorough examination.”
He grabbed Palani’s shoulder and forced him to turn around. The beta got the hint and placed his hands flat against the wall for support, pushing his ass back. Enar took a step back to admire his tight body. No, his ass wasn’t as round as Vieno’s, but it was firm, and it fit his body perfectly.
Enar stepped in and let his finger trail Palani’s spine from his neck all the way down, causing him to shiver. “You’re beautiful,” he said before pressing his mouth to the beta’s neck to follow the same path with his lips and tongue, scraping his teeth across the taut skin.
“You said you were in a hurry,” Palani said breathlessly as Enar was on his knees, kissing the last bit of Palani’s back above his crack.
“I changed my mind. I wanna explore every inch of your body because it makes me happy, and you know you'll love it.”
He blew a hot breath over Palani’s ass cheeks, watching with satisfaction as they clenched and relaxed again. “Spread your legs.”
The beta obeyed, even though Enar hadn’t used any compulsion. He let his hands roam Palani’s ass cheeks, the muscles tightening under his touch. He kissed his left cheek, then nibbled his way around, over the top of the crack, onto the right one. His golden skin was salty but tasted like a savory snack to Enar.
“Bend over deeper.”
After a slight hesitation, Palani widened his stance even more and lowered his arms to push his ass back farther. It exposed his alluring, gorgeous pink hole. Enar blew on it and smiled as it fluttered.
“I prepped,” Palani said, his voice cracking.
Enar’s smile widened. “Did you now?” He trailed Palani’s crack with his index finger all the way from the top to his balls. “Any particular reason you’re mentioning that now?”
“No. I thought you might want to…Oh!”
Ener buried his face in his crease, inhaling Palani’s essence, then gave that little star an experimental lick. God, he loved this. He licked him again, then dug in for real. Both hands were on Palani’s hips, pulling him as close to his face as he could. He kissed him, licked him, nibbled, sucked until he drooled all over his chin and Palani’s ass. He didn’t care. He wanted more.
He lowered himself on his ass, immediately regretting losing contact with Palani’s skin, and lay down on his back on the floor. “Sit on me,” he told him.
His heart jumped when Palani didn’t hesitate but kneeled over him, his ass on Enar
’s face. He shifted backward until he'd reached the perfect position, all but sitting on Enar’s face. Enar moaned at the perfection of this pose, degrading as some alphas might find it. He found the delicious hole again that he hadn’t had his fill of yet and, after circling it a few times with the tip of his tongue, pushed in.
Palani made little noises, low moans and growls, that fired Enar on. He made love to that hole, Palani quivering above him, his muscles trembling with effort.
“I gotta…I can’t stop,” Palani moaned, reaching for his cock with his right hand.
Enar sucked and fucked, kissed and scraped, feeding himself with every little whimper of pleasure and need Palani made until he gave a shout and sprayed his cum all over Enar’s chest.
Palani had to fight against his body’s urge to crumble and slump down on Enar’s strong body. Holy crap, the man had rimmed him straight into an explosive orgasm. He hadn’t merely licked his hole or kissed him. He’d straight up made love to Palani’s ass with his mouth.
Enar pulled back, panting, as Palani struggled to find words. How did you adequately say thank you for that?
“That was…wow,” he finally managed. “I need a minute to…yeah.”
Enar laughed. “I rendered you speechless. I think that says it all.”
Palani managed to climb off Enar, his body feeling like liquid lead, and he sat bare ass on the floor, his back against the wall. Enar pushed himself up on his lower arms, inspecting the remnants of Palani’s cum on his chest and stomach.
“Sorry,” Palani said, gesturing.
Enar’s smile was proud. “I don’t mind. I ate your ass out. You didn’t think I’d object to a little cum, did you?”
Palani grinned, then full out laughed at that response. “True.”
Enar sat up. “Do you think we could continue this in my bed, since it’s more comfortable?”
“Hopefully also cleaner.” Palani plucked some stuff off his knees that had been on the floor. “Dude, you need to vacuum.”
Enar shrugged, but he blushed slightly. “I’m rarely home enough to bother.”
“Why do you work so much?” Palani asked.
Enar crawled over and took position against the wall right next to him. “My work is never done,” he said. “There are always more patients, always people who need me. I have a hard time turning them away.”
“I get that, but you gotta take care of yourself first. You can’t help anyone when you work yourself into the ground.”
“Self-care does not come easy to me.”
Palani let that statement sink in. He saw that about Enar, that he would put others before himself. But perhaps also because he didn’t have anyone who called him out on it? Palani also had a tendency to get lost in his work, but Vieno had been an excellent safeguard because he would point out Palani was working too hard and force him to slow down, take rest.
“Do you have any family in the area?” he asked.
A flash of pain clouded Enar’s face. “Yes, my father lives here and my two brothers, but we’re not close.”
Palani hesitated but asked anyway. “Is it because of…?”
“No. God, no. If my dad ever found out about that, he’d stop talking to me. No, it’s because of what I do, though he’s offered his disappointment with my sad excuse for an alpha behavior more than once. I’m the only alpha in my family, aside from my father, so there were a lot of expectations. He was super happy when I was accepted to med school but equally upset when I chose my specialty.”
Palani reached out for Enar’s hand because it felt like he needed to be touched right now. “What was his plan for you?”
“Surgery, ‘cause it’s prestigious. Or plastics, ‘cause you make a shitload of money. I don’t make a lot since so many of my patients can’t afford to pay me.”
Palani scooted over so their shoulders were touching. “But you’re saving lives. Surely that has to matter in the bigger scheme of things.”
“It does to me,” Enar said, sounding so sad it broke Palani’s heart a little. “But I’m the black sheep in my family. I was the one they pinned their hopes on, and I let them all down.”
Palani was quiet for a bit. “You said you had two brothers?”
“Yes, Lars and Sven. I’m the oldest. My mother had trouble getting pregnant after me, so it took a while for her to get pregnant again. She passed away a few years ago, cancer. Lars is twenty-two, and Sven is twenty. I rarely speak to them because my father has poisoned them against me. He’s scared I’ll spread my anarchist ideas with them—his words.”
“They’re both betas?”
“No, Sven is an omega, but he hasn’t had his first heat yet, as far as I'm aware. He’s a late bloomer.”
Something about those words triggered Palani, and he tried to remember where he had heard that expression before. Then Enar froze, and Palani looked sideways. “What?” he asked.
“I never even thought of my brother. The gene, what if he has the gene?”
Palani squeezed his hand he was still holding. “The chances are small, but you could tell him, just in case. Or even test him?”
“Yeah, I need to. He barely knows me, but I would never forgive myself if something happened to him I could have prevented.”
Palani put his head on Enar’s shoulder, and they sat there for a while.
“Sorry I killed our mood,” Enar said.
“Blame me. I’m the one who asked all the serious questions.”
“You’re good at that, asking the right questions to get people talking. I know it’s your job and all, but you excel at it.”
Palani debated for a second, then broke the serious mood. “You excel at rimming,” he said.
“Yeah?” Enar asked.
“Oh my god, yes. That was insane.”
“I love doing it.”
“Do you love receiving them as well?” Palani asked, then rolled his eyes at himself for venturing into serious territory all over again. “Ignore that question, will you? I swear, it’s habit.”
Enar sighed. “Nice try, bro. Once the words are out, they’re out. Kinda like my secret.”
Palani decided he liked his head where it was, on Enar’s shoulder, so they didn’t have to see each other for this particular conversation. “I’m sorry.”
“For what? You made a joke, and I took it seriously. That’s on me. But to answer your earlier question, I like doing it myself better than have someone do it to me.”
“Why?”
Enar chuckled. “You want the short and sweet polite explanation or the one where I use my basic courses in psychology?”
“I want the truth. If you’re willing to share, that is. No pressure.”
“I’ve never talked about this,” Enar confessed.
This time, Palani did lift his head to make eye contact. “You don’t have to explain anything. I would completely understand it if you didn’t want to talk to me about it.”
“I want to. I’m not sure why, but maybe because you’re a good listener, and I feel like you wouldn’t judge?”
“I won’t. And I’d be honored to listen. I’ll never repeat a word of this.”
Enar leaned in for a quick kiss on Palani’s mouth. “I trust you.”
“Can we please talk in bed, though? This floor is not comfortable and neither are the crumbs that are now permanently inserting themselves into my skin.”
He got up first when Enar nodded in agreement and pulled the alpha to his feet. He still had Palani’s dried cum on his chest and stomach. “Go to bed. I’ll grab something to clean you up.”
“You don’t have to…”
Palani pushed him with a light force. “I want to. Go.”
He found a washcloth in Enar’s bathroom and wetted it with warm water. The alpha was stretched out on his back in his messy, unmade bed. “You’re a slob,” Palani said as he climbed on and wiped off the jizz. “You need a housekeeper.”
“It’s what I keep telling Lidon. He’s even worse than me. At le
ast my kitchen and bathroom are spotless.”
“Well, he has Vieno now. Trust me, his house will be sparkling clean in no time,” Palani said. A deep pain stabbed through his heart at the mention of Vieno’s name, but he ignored it.
He got rid of the washcloth and climbed back into bed. Had he ruined the mood with his serious questions? He wasn’t sure what to do now. Did Enar want to talk? Or did he want to…?
Before he could make up his mind on his course of action, Enar rolled on top of him, his big body pressing into Palani’s. “Can we talk later and spend a little more time…not talking?”
Palani smiled as he pressed a soft kiss on the alpha’s lips. “We sure can. What did you have in mind instead? Play a board game? Clean your house?”
Enar grinned. “How about we play doctor?”
Palani was still laughing when Enar’s mouth captured his, and then the laugh quickly transformed into a deeply content sigh. The kiss was slow, almost lazy, their tongues and lips dancing with each other in a rhythm as old as time. Palani loved Enar’s weight on top of him, the sensation of being dominated just a little. His heart sped up, and his blood pumped through his veins with a deep desire for more.
He caressed Enar’s back, his skin soft and firm under his fingertips at the same time. The man was such an intriguing mix of strong and vulnerable, of sexy and sweet. He kissed like a lover but had rimmed him like a horny omega in heat. Palani couldn’t figure him out, and in his books, that was high praise as he always loved a challenge.
Enar licked Palani’s lips one more time, then pulled back. “Is it okay if I…”
Palani nodded, understanding his question. Now that Palani had guessed his secret, him topping Palani wasn’t so self-evident anymore. “Yeah. I want you to finish what we started last time.”
The relief on Enar’s face was palpable. “I’d love that.”
He rolled off Palani and grabbed something from his nightstand—lube and a condom, Palani figured. His guess proved to be right when Enar squirted some lube onto his fingers. Palani spread his legs, opening wide without any shame. He hadn’t been lying that he wanted to finish what they started. That way-too-short experience of Enar’s dick inside him had been amazing.
