After removing Mike’s collar and leash, Aiden arranged them so that neither was in the cum he’d gotten on the sheets. Mike lay with his head on Aiden’s chest. Aiden held him close, caressing his back and stroking his hair.
“I broke your bed,” Mike said softly. “I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be sorry. The bed can be replaced. What’s important is you gave me exactly what I asked for. Like a very good pup.”
“Okay.”
They lay there, Mike silent while Aiden whispered continuous praise. He wanted to coo when Mike practically head butted his hand when it fell still. He held the noise back, instead dropping a kiss on the crown of his lover’s head before he resumed gently raking his fingers through the short brown locks. Mike was cute and submissive like this and Aiden loved it. Six feet of muscled superhero in his arms sweetly demanding and accepting aftercare.
After their heartbeats had calmed and they’d relaxed almost into sleep, Aiden asked his lover a question.
“Mike?”
“Hmmm?”
“Do you like being with me like this? Are you happy submitting to me?”
“Yes. It feels amazing. Better than what I imagined when you first asked me.”
Aiden smiled at that answer. In that moment, he couldn’t help but feel that he’d been born under a lucky star.
