FOUR
GENE
After undoing the restraints, I gathered a limp Alec in my arms then carried him to the bed at the far end of the dungeon. I gently laid him down, propping him up slightly against the pile of pillows I’d arranged before he arrived. I also had two bottles of water on a small table next to the bed, so I cracked open the top of one then handed it to him.
“Take a couple of good swallows, baby.”
Already I was reacting to him as if he were mine, like we were a couple enjoying our weekend by pursuing the recreational activities that were unique to us. But that wasn’t the reality—at least not yet.
When he’d suggested using the sounds, my first instinct was to discourage him. I thought about encouraging him to choose something less intense. I now realized my worry about his ability to try new kinks was rooted in the fear he’d become overwhelmed and leave me again. Ultimately, that was the reason I’d agreed to his wishes. I needed to know the truth of his intentions, to see if he was truly serious about embracing the unknown .
Alec reached for my arm, his eyes fluttering open. “Aren’t you going to lie down with me?”
I smiled at my beautiful, sated boy. He’d let me penetrate him with my fingers, which was more than I’d been expecting. I was happy with that for now. I kicked off my loafers then climbed onto the mattress with him. He jerked upright, and I froze.
“What’s wrong, Alec?”
“I…” He furrowed his brow. “Don’t you want to…?” He lowered his eyes. “I thought we were going to make love.”
My heart skipped. No, he most definitely wasn’t running. I sat on the bed, twining our fingers together.
“Being with you that way would be amazing, but it’s not a deal-breaker if you’re not ready yet.” I rubbed my thumb over his skin. “That was quite an orgasm,” I said with a chuckle. “I thought you might want to rest for a while.”
Alec held my gaze, his cheeks flushed but eyes imploring. “I can’t rest, Sir.” He reached for me, a silent plea for closeness. “Even before last night, when I was hoping for a second chance, I thought about you inside me. Please?”
I took a long breath, my heart thudding in a potent mix of fear and longing. The weight of his need was matched by my own. The intensity of our connection tugged at a fundamental part of me that had always belonged to Alec.
I leaned down, giving him a slow kiss before rising. At first, he reached for me again, but he relaxed once I grabbed the hem of my tee to remove it. He watched me undress with a hungry gaze, his response to my nudity reassuring. His raw desire emboldened me, a stark contrast to the reticent sub from our last time together.
Sliding onto the mattress again, I pressed myself to Alec's side. His body heat seared through me, and he pulled me closer until the length of our bodies were flush. I threaded my fingers through his messy hair and brought our foreheads together.
“Just breathe,” I whispered against his parted lips.
I traced my fingers down his arm then over the curve of his hip. He nuzzled the crook of my neck, dropping a soft kiss at the base of my throat. My breath hitched at his tender attentions, the warm touch of his lips sending a shiver down my spine.
I took his mouth in another heated kiss as I rolled him onto his back. Wrapping one arm around his neck, I held his head in place while I plundered his mouth with my tongue. Shifting my body to the side, I shoved my other hand between us and wrapped my fingers around his half-hard cock, stroking him with long pulls. The impulse to take him hard and fast was difficult to resist, but my desire to make his first time as pleasurable as possible won out.
The moment I brushed my thumb over his slit, Alec tensed beneath me. His cock would still be sensitive from the sounding, and I doubted he’d be able to come again. But I wanted him to feel my lover’s touch, not the clinical exchange from our kink session.
I reached behind his sac, seeking his hole, checking whether he was lubricated enough to take my cock. As much as I ached to keep going, I broke the kiss, then nipped his earlobe as I stretched across his body. I’d left a condom and tube of slick on the small table before he arrived. When I’d placed it there earlier, the thought ran through my mind that I was being presumptuous. But now I was grateful I had.
Sliding back over Alec, I rolled on the condom and applied a generous amount of the lube to myself, slowly stroking my cock, mirroring the rhythm I’d used on my sweet boy. He watched me in silence, and I sensed his anticipation but also the anxiety. I caught his lower lip between my teeth, tugging lightly before releasing the plump bit of flesh.
"Remember your safewords, baby," I reminded him gently, rubbing the pad of my thumb over his swollen lips. He nodded, the color high in his cheeks.
I squeezed out more lube then searched for his entrance, dreaming of the day when he’d let me taste every part of him. He arched his neck when I breached his hole, squirming shamelessly beneath me as I played with his ass. I added another finger, taking my time, letting him revel in the moment before moving things to the next level.
Once I was satisfied he could take me without being hurt, I removed my fingers then sat back on my haunches. “Legs up, baby.”
He hesitated then lifted his legs. I draped his limbs over my elbows as I leaned forward, then used one hand to position my cock at his entrance. I locked eyes with him, pausing to give him a chance to safeword.
Alec raised his hand and caressed my cheek, a light smile playing on his lips. “Yes.”
That one word almost undid me.
Slowly, I entered him. Smoothly, carefully—my body screaming at me to plunge deeper, to claim what I’d been longing for. Instead, I gave him time to adjust, rocking my hips as my cock gradually sank into his body until I was balls deep.
His passage clenched around me, the tight heat threatening to push me over the edge too soon. He let out a gasp, his brow furrowing before soft moans spilled from his lips. I watched Alec’s face as we made love, fascinated by his responses, committing to memory each emotion that played across his features. His eyes screwed shut, his tongue swiping across his top lip, his mouth opening wide whenever I slammed home.
Soon, Alec was meeting each of my thrusts with his own. As much as I wanted our first time to last forever, I’d ached to be inside him for too long.
My self-control crumbled as his whimpers grew more desperate. I gripped his hips tighter, using the leverage to drive into him harder and deeper. His hand flew to his cock, but I slapped it away, taking over and pumping him in time with my thrusts. Alex let out a guttural sound, and he wrapped his legs around me.
My balls tightened, and I jerked him with quick, harsh tugs, hoping he’d be able to come again. He groaned in response, digging his fingers into my forearms.
“Gene…Sir…” He gritted his teeth. “Please…”
I wasn’t sure what he was asking for, I only knew I was on the verge of unraveling. Holding back was no longer an option. I froze, groaning as my orgasm barreled through me. I cried out my release then picked up the pace of stroking Alec’s cock. A few more seconds passed, and a small spurt of cum splashed onto my fist. As I suspected, he was almost drained dry, but I was pleased he came again. If nothing else, he hadn’t hated the experience .
I dropped to my elbows, all my strength gone as I tried to regain my breath. I couldn't speak yet, but I peppered Alec’s face, jaw, and throat with soft kisses, giving us both a chance to regain our senses. Alec wrapped his arms around my neck and pulled me down on top of him. I didn’t want to crush him, but he held on, so I cradled him in return.
As the moments passed, my cock softened. I caught the condom before slipping out of him, then quickly disposed of it in the wastebasket next to the bed. Alec’s embrace hadn’t loosened, so I rolled us onto our sides. We cuddled for a while, sharing lazy kisses and caresses.
I didn’t want to break our bubble, but needed to check in on my boy. “How are you doing?”
“You can’t tell?”
At first, I thought his feelings were hurt, then realized he was teasing me when he broke into a smile.
“Brat.” I pinched his ass, which elicited a startled squeak. “If you’re going to be my boy, you’ll need to get used to me always making sure you’re doing okay.”
Alec tensed, his eyes widening. “Are you being serious?”
I wanted to kick my own ass. Of course, he’d still be unsure. He didn’t know the thoughts in my head any more than I knew his. I’d been prodding him to share everything, yet hadn’t been as forthcoming. I knew what I wanted. That didn’t mean he did.
“Very.” I brushed my thumb back and forth across his cheek. “If you want a new contract, you’ve got it.”
“Oh. Just the contract?” His voice was shaky, and I hated how stressed out he sounded.
“I could easily overwhelm you with all the thoughts going through my head. When I first saw you last night, I was ready to be angry with you.”
He winced. “I wouldn’t blame you.”
“But that’s not how I truly feel. Any anger I had over what happened between us was more about how sad I was, how much it devastated me to lose someone I was falling in love with.”
Alec’s eyes glimmered. “I can’t believe I’m hearing this—I hadn’t dared hope.” His bottom lip trembled. “I was sure I’d make a complete ass of myself when we spoke, and when you agreed to meet me tonight…” He hiccupped on a sob. “I figured we’d have to start at the beginning if we ever started at all.”
“Oh, baby.”
I squeezed him, rubbing his back as I whispered soothing words. After a few minutes passed, he’d relaxed in my hold, and I stole a kiss. God, these kisses. Such a stark contrast to our last time together. I’d always believed that when I kissed him, it was what chased him away, that it was too intimate of an act to share with a man. But this time, I was sure the kisses were making him stay.
Alec pulled back and cupped my cheek. “Does this mean I can get my overnight bag from the car?”
I barked out a laugh, releasing some of the emotion that had been growing since his arrival. “If it were left to me, you’d be bringing in much more than an overnight bag. But—” I placed a finger over his lips. “We’ll take our time. We’ll move at your pace.”
He pressed his lips together, then gave a slight nod. “Okay, but I hope you don’t mind if I keep saying how much I love you.”
I was sure he was serious, but it didn’t mean all my fears were banished. Yet, deep within me, I believed in our connection, and that this time, it would carry us through whatever came our way.
I scooted down so we were nose to nose. “I’ll never tire of hearing you say that.”
Alec smiled. “Can we go to the club tomorrow night?”
I arched my eyebrows. “If you only want to play, we can do that here.”
He traced the edges of my jaw with one finger. “I want everyone to know we’re together, that you’re mine.”
Alec was full of surprises.
“I’d like that.” I smiled back. “But you do realize I’ll be letting everyone know that you’re mine, too.”
He grinned. “I’m counting on it.”
