Chapter 15

From his perch on the kitchen counter, Loren watched Todd with a smile. His own mood had dramatically improved in a very short time. He'd been morose and moody the whole time he'd been apart from Todd. To the point Lorelei had nearly strangled him several times. Loren really hadn't blamed her, even he knew he'd been one hell of a pain.

Almost done, babe." Todd stopped long enough to kiss him softly. "What do you want to drink?"

"Can I say you? If not, I guess a coke will have to do."

"Although the thought of those lips wrapped around my cock is enticing as hell, I doubt it would serve as a suitable drink for dinner. Coke it is."

"Says you. I say differently."

Todd pulled back and patted Loren's thigh. It only took a moment to set out their plates and the silverware. After dishing the steaks out onto their plates, he poured their drinks and set down a bowl of wild rice. Then he set out the steak sauce, lit the candles and turned off the light.

"Dinner is served," he said as he pressed up against Loren.

You're surprising me, babe. Going through all this effort." Loren was a sucker for a romantic atmosphere and wasn't ashamed to admit it. The table and its meal lit by the glow of the candles just made him warm inside.

"Surprising you?" Todd slid his arms around Loren's waist. "How am I surprising you? I can't resist a chance to play the romantic, especially with you."

"Not many have catered to that part of me, Todd."

"And I want to be the last," Todd said quietly.

"I'm figuring you thought that. If we're exclusive, it's a step up from dating. Or haven't you read the queer manual?"

"Then what would you say about getting tested?"

Chuckling, Loren bussed Todd. "You have read the manual. No problem at all, babe. I would have brought the subject up myself, but you've beat me to it."

"Just think," Todd whispered, moving his lips slowly over Loren's jaw to his ear. "Skin on skin, babe. Nothing but heat between us…"

Loren groaned softly in response. "First thing in the morning we call the doctor."

"If we don't stop now, I'm going to fuck you right here and dinner will get cold."

Gently, Loren pushed him away and slid off the counter. "I don't want to waste the special dinner you fixed for me, babe."

Todd sat down with him, and they both started on their steaks. "Never thought I'd get to this point."

"I wasn't sure you would either. I know you've had a hard time, Todd." Loren laid his hand on Todd's. He understood things hadn't been easy at all for his lover. After he took a bite of the steak, he smiled. "You're going to cook more often. You know that, don't you. This is damn good steak."

Chuckling, Todd turned his hand over and entwined his fingers with Loren's. "Anything for you, babe."

Keeping hold of Todd's hand, Loren ate his steak and rice in silence. The comfort level between them had its own reassuring niche; Loren was content with it. Once they finished eating, he helped Todd clean up the dishes. When the last one was put in the dish drainer, he slipped up behind Todd, wrapping his arms around him. "I want my dessert now, babe."

"And what exactly do you want?"

"You inside me until it's the only thing I know." Loren peeled off his shirt then tossed it on the counter, his shoes and pants followed in quick order. With a smart ass grin, he stood naked in front of Todd, hand playing with his own cock.

Todd made quick work of his own clothes, then reached out. Hands on Loren's hips, Todd pulled him close, pressing their cocks together. "Fuck, you're hot," he whispered on Loren's lips.

"Right now, I'm fucking on fire." He had one hell of an itch that needed serious scratching. His hand had proved a poor second at best during the last several days.

Todd answered that hunger, hand cupping the back of Loren's head and holding him in place. He slipped his other hand between them, wrapping his fingers around both of their cocks. "Get the edge off, babe," he growled. "I plan on keeping you in bed for a good long while."

"Don't think I'm going anywhere for as long as I can get away with it." A low groan rose in his throat with the feel of Todd's hand. It wouldn't take him long at all. Loren desperately needed the release Todd could give him.

"Never letting you go again. Come on, baby." Todd caught him in another hard kiss as he stroked them both, his groans filling Loren's mouth as he kept their mouths locked together.

As he rode the friction of Todd’s hand, Loren's legs began to tremble right before he lost it. When he broke from the kiss, Todd's name escaped him in a rush of exhaled breath, and he came in Todd's hand.

"Yes," Todd ground out as he came as well. He kissed Loren softly before reaching for the towel to wipe them off. "Bed. I want to taste every inch of you," he whispered.

For now Loren was totally compliant to whatever Todd might want. In the bedroom, he slid onto the bed. A hand leisurely caressed over his chest as he watched Todd enter the room. "I need you, babe. I haven't had near enough of you yet."

"It's all yours," Todd said as he climbed into the bed. In one smooth motion, he had Loren's legs up and apart. "For as long as you want me." Without giving Loren a chance to say another word, Todd lowered his head, giving Loren's hole a quick flick with his tongue.

The simple touch made Loren squirming. "Oh, fuck, babe. More of that."

With his hands free, Todd lifted Loren’s hips higher, spreading him open. He plunged his tongue inside, fucking Loren's ass with it before pulling out to suck on the puckered skin.

Loren's body wriggled as his nails dig slightly into his own skin. He adored the teasing sensation of Todd's tongue and mouth playing him expertly. "That feels so fucking good. God, I love that hot tongue of yours."

Todd all but devoured him, tongue pushing deep. Then he slipped a finger inside, working it in and out as he slid his tongue back in beside it. A few seconds later, a second finger pushed in, teasing within Loren.

Each movement drove Loren crazy. Blindly, he reached into the drawer of the nightstand, pulling out a rubber and the lube.

Todd surged up Loren's body as he slid another finger inside him. "Need you," he said, spreading all three fingers apart, stretching Loren. Lowering his head, he latched onto Loren's left nipple, rolling it between his teeth as he fucked Loren with his fingers.

Loren grabbed Todd's shoulder, desperately trying to pull him up. "Now, Todd, now. Inside me."

Within seconds he was sheathed and slick, cock pushing into Loren's body. "Oh, God," he groaned. "Loren…"

With his own moan, Loren's legs and arms tightly encircled Todd as his body opened to him. A slow shudder raced through him, and he ground tightly against Todd in a signal of deep need.

Todd pulled almost all the way out, then slid back in, mouth crashing down on Loren's as pure desire took over them both. His motions were long and deep, one hand sliding down Loren's side to grip his hip, drawing him into every one.

Matching the rhythm, the arch of Loren's hips drove Todd's cock deeper. Mindlessly, he returned the kiss as the waves building inside him threaten to pull him under.

Todd released Loren's hip and edged his hand between them. Fingers wrapping tight around Loren's cock, he milked his fist up and down Loren's cock.

The internal pressure broke, sending Loren's body into shuddering spasms before he came in Todd's hand. A sharp cry escaped him as his head fell back to the pillow. For a long moment, he clung to Todd, completely lost in the pleasure.

"Oh, sweet fuck…" Todd sucked in a sharp breath before he came. He strained against Loren as they both rode the aftershocks.

"Better than the dreams I had of you, Todd."

"I'll take this over jerking off any day."

"You and me both on that. And I'd hope it was better than jerking off or I'm seriously lacking, babe."

A tweak of Loren's left nipple was Todd's immediate response. "I'm not going to dignify that with a comment, smart ass," he laughed. He eased out and slipped the rubber off, tossing it into the trashcan before collapsing beside Loren.

After rolling to his side, he playfully poked Todd in the ribs. "You are suppose to assure me greatly that I'm not lacking in that department, you know."

Todd chuckled and pulled Loren close. "You are most definitely not lacking in anything, babe."
