Several seconds passed. The noise of Levi’s lubed fingers in his hole filled the room, making Ben even harder. But he pretended to concentrate on his book, flipping a page he hadn’t started reading.

“I’m still open from earlier,” Levi said, muffled, into the sheets. “You can fuck me right now.”

Ben acted like he hadn’t heard him. Levi kept pushing his fingers into himself, and Ben waited for him to break. Sure enough, not even thirty seconds passed before Levi groaned in frustration.

“Is this the lesson?” Levi demanded. “Because all this is going to do is⁠—”

He cut off with a yelp as Ben grabbed him by the hips and hauled him into his lap, their chests pressed together. The yelp turned into a shocked moan as Ben shoved him onto his cock, all the way to the hilt.

Levi tried to ride him. Ben’s grip tightened on his hips, holding him still.

“No,” he said. “You stay like this. Don’t fucking move. Understand?”

Levi gave him an incredulous look. Then he nodded.

“Good.” Ben shook Levi’s chin more forcefully than necessary. Then he went back to reading his book.

Levi spluttered indignantly. “What the fuck? Cockwarming? That’s my lesson?”

“You got it,” Ben said, ignoring the hot vise of Levi around his cock that made him want to push him down and pound into him. “If you try to move, or even to squeeze me, I will throw you off my cock, and you won’t get it for the rest of the night.”

Levi started to protest. Ben took his chin again, looking Levi in the eyes for the first time since he sat down on the bed.

“You said you wanted to make it up to me,” Ben said sternly. “You scared the shit out of me, Levi. This is how you make it right. Do you want to be good for me, or do you want to be a disobedient little shit?”

Levi stayed silent, his chest heaving. His eyes were glassy. For a moment, Ben worried he’d gone too far. Then Levi nodded vigorously, pushing against Ben’s grip on his chin. “I’ll be good. Thank you, Daddy.”

The genuine gratefulness in the words took Ben aback. He let go of Levi and, at a loss for what else to do, guided Levi’s face to press against his chest. Levi went easily, sliding his arms around Ben’s middle. He was clearly struggling against the urge to rock against the length inside him, but he didn’t move. After a minute, he even started to relax against him.

Ben was struck by a wave of emotion so intense he had to blink back tears. He kissed Levi’s head so gently he could deny it if Levi called him on it, then went back to pretending to read.

CHAPTER 16

Levi had never felt so… held.

It was a dream. He knew it was a dream because it felt swimmy and unreal, and he had never let his guard down this much with anyone in real life. But he wanted to stay in this dream as long as he could. It was a wonderful mix of safety and lust. There was a cock inside him, filling him up beautifully. But there were also arms around him, holding him close. He had been in this position before. But it had never felt like this. Like he was so close to the other person he was blurring into them. Like he was completely, utterly safe.

The pleasure grew sharper and sharper. Then Levi blinked, and he came awake in the middle of a moan.

This was no dream. Ben was fucking him, rocking up into him so exquisitely Levi was surprised he wasn’t already coming. It was a pleasure so intense Levi couldn’t even speak. He sat there, shaking like a live wire as the evening came back to him. Going onto the porch to watch the snow. Ben charging out and yelling at him, then ordering him into his bedroom. Hauling Levi onto his cock and telling him not to move. Levi had obeyed, despite everything in him screaming to ride Ben for all he was worth. Ben had pulled him so sweetly against him, and somewhere along the line, Levi had fallen asleep. Was that insulting or flattering? Ben didn’t seem offended. He was staring at Levi like he was magical.

“Look at you,” Ben panted. He had dropped the book on the bed, the pages curling in a way he was going to be pissed about later. Levi was impressed that Ben was distracted enough to let that happen. Then Ben hit that sweet spot inside him, and Levi couldn’t think about anything except how good it felt. He whimpered, head falling back onto Ben’s chest. Ben yanked him back by his hair, the pain making Levi cry out in ecstasy. He tried to roll his hips, but Ben stilled them with his free hand.

“Don’t move,” Ben said. “Don’t fucking move. Just sit there and take it.”

Levi went lax against him. He couldn’t even hold his head up. He let Ben hold it for him, his eyes fluttering where they were locked on Ben’s. They were both slick with sweat. How long had Ben been softly fucking Levi while he slept? The idea made Levi so hard he would have come from the lightest touch on his cock. He had never trusted anyone enough to have him while he slept. But he loved picturing Ben doing it. Why hadn’t he suggested it before?

“Think you’ve learned your lesson, baby?” Ben asked, fucking into him savagely, tugging hard on his hair. “Huh? You gonna do what I say?”

Levi tried to nod, but Ben was holding his hair too tightly. “Yes,” he managed, his voice breaking. “Holy shit, Daddy, yeah, whatever you say, please.”

His orgasm rose in him, huge and hot. His eyes slammed shut.

Ben shook his head. “Fucking look at me when you come.”

Levi forced his eyes open. He was crying. He didn’t know when he’d started crying, but it was happening now, salty tears rolling down his cheeks as he came. It was so intense he barely felt like a person. He was a lightning rod of pleasure. It surged through him so powerfully it was painful. Ben fucked him through it, then stilled, filling him with a shout. He never looked away from Levi’s face. Levi never looked away from him. Ben had told him not to.

Ben wiped Levi’s wet cheeks with a shaking hand. “Baby,” was all he said.
