“How about you come over and let me help you destress?”
“I’d like that.”
“Then come straight here.”
“Okay, I’ll see you soon.”
Thirty minutes later, Mike knocked on the door to Aiden’s. His shoulders were so tight he thought the tendons there would snap from the movement. Aiden’s blurry form came toward him through the wavy glass in the front door, the outline of his body steadily growing clearer as he got closer. The moment Aiden opened the door, a tidal wave of emotions rolled through Mike. Relief. Desire. Happiness. It was so much and so powerful, it left him light-headed.
Aiden reached for him and pulled him inside.
“Look at my poor pup all tense. Come in and let me take care of you.”
Aiden cupped the back of his head, guiding him down to the crook of his neck. Mike allowed himself to be held, breathing in the scent of his lover’s skin. Aiden’s hair was down and Mike dragged his fingers through the long, soft strands.
“What do you need right now in this moment?”
Mike thought about it. And his answer was something he couldn’t have imagined himself saying a month ago. “I want to serve you and suck your cock.”
“Okay. Come on.”
He almost whined when Aiden released him, but Aiden immediately re-established contact, lacing their fingers together to lead him over to the couch. Aiden wore a long, satin maroon robe, embroidered with a swirly black print. He untied the robe and let it fall open, revealing the matching square cut briefs. Mike barely got a chance to admire them before Aiden pushed them off. He kept the robe on and sat down on the couch with his legs spread.
“Kneel,” he ordered softly.
Mike dropped to his knees. He only had to wait a second before Aiden crooked a finger at him, beckoning him to come closer. Mike crawled on all fours to his lover, then kneeled up to wedge himself in between Aiden’s spread thighs.
“Serve me, Michael. Make me feel good.”
Mike immediately lowered his head, lapping gently at the head of his Dom’s cock. He moaned; Aiden always tasted so good. But this was about serving so he took Aiden into his mouth and began a slow, gentle rhythm up and down on his cock.
Aiden crooned gentle praise, softly threading his fingers through Mike’s hair.
“Good boy,” he whispered. “Is this what you needed?”
Mike nodded but didn’t stop sucking.
“You’re here with me, now. I’ve got you. Take as long as you need.”
Although Aiden’s voice was tight with restrained arousal, the words were a cool balm of peace settling over him. Mike closed his eyes. He kept working his mouth up and down his Dom’s cock until his aching jaw forced him to stop. With a final lick, he pulled off, then rested his cheek on Aiden’s bare thigh. The skin there was soft, the muscle beneath firm. Mike loved the contrast.
Aiden covered his still hard shaft behind his hand.
“Get comfortable and tell me about your day.”
Mike changed position, sitting sideways on the floor and wrapping a hand around Aiden’s calf. “Today I had to release our top influencer. His online behavior reflected poorly on the company and he refused to see that. The situation turned ugly. Since he’s in town, he came down to the office, barged in and pitched a fit. When I and Marin told him he was out, he shoved and injured my assistant.”
Mike squeezed Aiden’s leg. “I wasn’t about to let him leave after that, so I jumped over my desk, caught him and wrestled him to the ground. While he was down, I demanded he apologize and gave Leo the opportunity to decide if he wanted to press charges.
“Wow, you’re a superhero by day and by night.”
Mike breathed a soft laugh. “I don’t know about that. Leo didn’t want to press charges so I let Johnny go. I thought that would be the end of it.”
“But it wasn’t.”
“Nope. As payback, Johnny filmed himself burning all of his Marin’s Outdoors clothing and equipment. We don’t ever want that type of negative publicity, but it’s an especially bad time right now because we have one of our big outdoors events scheduled soon. The company can’t afford to have fans and customers turning against us right now. I spent the rest of the day taking care of that situation and there’s more waiting for me when I go back tomorrow.”
As he talked, Aiden continued to run his fingers through his hair, petting him, soothing him.
