“But quick.”
“Even better idea.”
Just long enough to clean what needed to be cleaned and then they were on the bed, lube and condom nearby, and Kaden was parting Joe’s legs with his knee and lowering his body over Joe’s before kissing the fuck out of his mouth until neither of them could breathe.
“Roll over,” Kaden panted. There was somewhere else he wanted to kiss.
Joe squirmed onto his stomach and Kaden rocked against him, pushing his cock against his arse, sliding it along the seam, then leaning in to kiss his neck until Joe turned his head and Kaden found his mouth again. Their tongues twisted together, gently at first as Kaden rutted against him.
“I always mean to go slow with you,” Kaden said.Kiss. Kiss.“To stretch out the pleasure.”Kiss. Kiss.“Except the moment I touch you.”Kiss. Kiss.“I can’t fucking wait.”
They were still wet from the shower as Kaden mouthed his way down Joe’s spine and pushed his thighs apart with his shoulders. Joe gasped as Kaden rubbed his fingers along the stretch of skin behind his balls. Joe lifted his hips and slid a hand under his body to his cock.
“Kaden…Kade…Kade…” Joe moaned.
Then Kaden licked over the entrance to his body and Joe cried out. Kaden had only had this done to him once. He knew how good it felt. Joe was falling to pieces beneath him, writhing,one hand fisting the sheet, groans spilling from his mouth while his other hand worked his cock.
“Please, please, please,” Joe begged.
Kaden wasn’t sure Joe even knew what he was begging for, but he wanted to drive him wild. Kaden drew his lubed finger down the line of his backside and Joe bucked into his touch. When Kaden slipped a finger inside him, he was rewarded by Joe whimpering. A stroke of his prostate, and he cried out. Kaden was forced to press his own cock hard into Joe’s leg to stop himself coming.
“Kaden, please. I need… Please…”
Getting the condom out of the packet and onto his dick with his hands slicked up wasn’t easy but he managed it.
“All of you. In me. Now,” Joe gasped.
Kaden positioned his cock and as Joe arched up, he pushed in hard. Even though he’d been rougher than he’d intended, it was Kaden who cried out with pleasure, Joe gulping and moaning beneath him.
“Yes…More…” Joe pleaded.
Kaden began to drive into him, harder and deeper, barely able to control himself.
“Joe…Joe… Oh fuck.”
“I love you,” Joe gasped.
With those words, he stole the last moment of Kaden’s control and they fell apart together. Kaden wanted to say it in return but by the time he’d recovered, Joe had fallen into a deep sleep and soon after, Kaden joined him.
24
When Joe woke the next morning, his first thought wasI told Kaden I loved him.He slid out of bed before Kaden woke and went to the bathroom.Should I have said it?From the small amount he knew about relationships, mostly based on Kaden’s experiences, which Joe knew more about than Kaden should ever find out, no one had said those words to him before. Not including his parents.Did I make a mistake? Too soon?
But Joedidlove him.
It was the simplest, clearest truth in the middle of everything else they were embroiled in. Joe leaned over the sink, gripping the edge as he stared at his reflection. His hair was a mess, there were marks on his neck he definitely hadn’t had yesterday—so I’m not healing fast—a brightness in his eyes, a tremble in his lips… He wouldn’t take the words back. They hadn’t slipped out by accident, even though emotions had been running high. Would Kaden pretend he hadn’t heard? Maybe he’d joke about it. Maybe he’d panic. Joe winced.
Or maybe, just maybe, he’d say it back.
Joe straightened, exhaling slowly, and turned to leave the bathroom. He liked the marks Kaden had left on his neck.
The bedroom was quiet when he stepped back in, streaks of morning light spilling through the curtains. Kaden lay sprawled on his stomach, one arm half-tucked under the pillow.
“You’re very loud.” Kaden’s voice was rough with sleep.
Joe froze halfway across the room. “I tried to be quiet. Sorry.”
“You were thinking very loudly.” Kaden rolled to look at him. “Very inconsiderate.”
