Chapter Twenty-six: Seo-jun
A fter spending the morning by the pool, Seo-jun showered and dressed in a pair of dark slacks and a white button-down shirt. Dex had sent him a text that he would pick him up in front of the hotel and they’d go to lunch.
“You look nice,” Dex said when Seo-jun slid into the passenger seat of the rental car.
“Thanks.” About to return the compliment, Seo-jun took a second, longer look at Dex. He looked worn out. “What’s the matter? Did the therapy session not go well?”
Dex sighed as he pulled away from the hotel. “It went well. I guess that’s why I feel so wrung out. I take it it shows?” He gave Seo-jun a wry look before turning onto the main road.
“You always look good,” Seo-jun said truthfully. “But you do look like you could use a drink over lunch.”
Chuckling, Dex said, “I have been imagining a cold beer and Reuben sandwich for the past hour.”
“Sounds good. Any idea where we can get that?”
“I looked up a place before I left. We’re nearly there.”
They waited until they were seated in a booth at the deli before continuing the conversation, the bustle around them giving them a sense of privacy.
“The therapist wanted to talk to me alone before Anna arrived. She told me that Anna signed the papers to allow me to see her medical information. Then, when Anna came into the room, the therapist started asking me questions like hadn’t what Anna did been embarrassing, and wasn’t I angry with her? Then, Anna started crying, and I was really pissed at the therapist then, but turns out she was trying to get me to admit to my anger because Anna told her I wouldn’t.”
The waiter brought their food, and neither man spoke for a minute while they added ketchup to their steak fries and took bites of their sandwiches.
“Mm, that’s good,” Dex murmured, licking his lips. “I haven’t had anything but a granola bar today. What about you?”
“I had some oatmeal at the hotel,” Seo-jun said.
Nodding, Dex swallowed his next bite, then picked up where he’d left off. “After that, Anna and I were able to talk more freely. She admitted she isn’t sure she wants to keep the baby.”
“Really? I’m sorry. I know you were looking forward to being an uncle.” Seo-jun said.
Dex hummed noncommittally as he continued eating.
“Is there anything you need to take care of before we go home tomorrow?”
Dex’s smile faded. “About that. Anna begged me to stay for the ultrasound she’s having tomorrow at eleven. She’s terrified she’s going to find out something is wrong with the baby because she used meth, which is a real one-eighty from the way she was talking before. But I want to support her. I had to change my flight to tomorrow night and arrange to have the rental car one more day, but I left your flights the same . I hope that’s okay.”
Seo-jun felt a little disappointed that Dex wasn’t going to be flying back with him, which was crazy when he thought about how much he’d dreaded their flight to Fresno, but he understood.
“No worries. I can just take my pill and sleep the whole flight.”
Dex grinned. “Just don’t take two—I don’t want someone else helping you off the plane.”
“How very possessive of you,” Seo-jun teased, surprised that he liked that Dex wanted to be the only one helping him. It was so similar to, but also so very different from, how it had been with Haru.
The conversation turned to other things, and when it was time to go, Seo-jun asked, “What would you like to do on our last afternoon here?”
Dex smiled slyly. “I have a few ideas.”
Seo-jun lay on his stomach on the bed, panting hard, only a sheen of sweat between his bare body and Dex’s, who was buried so deeply inside him, Seo-jun felt owned. Seo-jun’s heart rate doubled at the sexy groan in his ear when he tilted his ass slightly.
“God,” Dex said, warm breath tickling Seo-jun’s cheek. “Do that again.”
Seo-jun did, adding a little twist this time, and then he was the one groaning as Dex slid his hands under Seo-jun’s shoulders, gripping them tightly, and began pumping into him, their sweaty skin slapping together in the otherwise quiet hotel room.
Seo-jun swore loudly in Korean, his ass burning in the best of ways around Dex’s girth. Dex shifted, then began battering Seo- jun’s prostate with the fat head of his cock until Seo-jun started to whimper, desperate to get off.
Had sex ever felt this good? Seo-jun wondered. Certainly, Haru had given him plenty of orgasms, but Seo-jun didn’t recall ever feeling this sublime detachment of the mind at the same time that his body buzzed with overstimulation. His second orgasm of the evening rippled through him like a wave on the shore sizzling in the sun, causing him to arch his back and gasp out his pleasure before it could retreat back into the depths.
Three more thrusts, and Dex moaned. Seo-jun felt him tremble against his back, and sagged into the mattress, smiling weakly. He loved being this close with Dex. He couldn’t imagine wanting to be like that with anyone else in the world.
After Haru, Seo-jun wondered if he might want to top. Haru had never given him any choice in the matter, always telling him what a natural bottom he was. He had topped with Ae Ri, of course, but he’d only been fourteen, and he remembered all those experiences to be fumbling at best. That one time with a hookup had been the same—the guy had assumed Seo-jun would bottom, and Seo-jun didn’t say anything about it. He liked to bottom. But he found himself wondering how it would feel to be inside Dex. He imagined having Dex on his back, legs draped over Seo-jun’s arms while Seo-jun physically owned him. A delicious shudder ran through Seo-jun’s body.
Dex pressed a kiss to Seo-jun’s sweat-damp hair. “That was amazing.”
“Yeah,” Seo-jun said. “I, uh, I was just thinking that I’d like to try fucking you.”
Dex gently eased out of Seo-jun’s body and rolled to his side, head on the pillow next to Seo-jun’s.
“I’d like to try that, too,” he said. “I admit I’m a little scared, though.”
Seo-jun’s heart swelled near to bursting. Of course Dex was willing. How could he have thought otherwise, even for a second?
“I’ll make it good for you,” Seo-jun promised, looking into Dex’s eyes, which, at that moment in the dim light, looked more brown than green.
“I know you will,” Dex said, and kissed him.
God. Seo-jun’s heart wasn’t going to survive this relationship.
“Not today, though.” Seo-jun pulled back when the kiss got heated. “I don’t have the stamina. But…when we get home. At my place.”
Dex’s smile was absolutely radiant.
“It’s a date.”
