Take What You Want (32 page)

“
Care
to join me in the shower?” Alex asked. The tip of his tongue
darted out to flick against Chase's bottom lip.

Chase nodded and allowed
Alex to undo the button on his shorts and ease down the zipper. A
moment later, he was naked and pressed against the warmth of Alex;
their cocks rubbing together. The contact triggered something inside
Chase and he grabbed hold of Alex's head and kissed him; his tongue
delving inside to stroke against Alex's. Both of them moaned and
Chase swayed on his feet.

Chase's tongue plunged in
again and Alex opened his mouth wider, taking the deeper kiss from
Chase and kissing back with just as much aggression.

Alex started walking them
toward the shower then opened up the glass door to start the water.
Chase remained pressed to him, lightly stroking Alex's body; his hand
finally settling between Alex's legs to grip his erection.

Alex pulled away long enough
to step under the shower spray and Chase was right behind him. They
collapsed against the back wall; the shower water pelting Chase's
back. Chase pushed the long hair off Alex's forehead, then tipped
his hips forward to rest on Alex.

A long moment passed between
them, with Chase staring into the green depths of Alex's eyes.
Chase's fingers slipped over every ridge of muscle on Alex's arms,
then Chase pushed them above Alex's head. He held Alex by the
wrists; his hips gently rubbing circles over Alex's groin. Chase
dipped his head and his mouth captured Alex's.

“
Turn
around,” Chase said in a husky voice.

Alex spun for Chase. He set
his forehead to the cool tiles and kept his arms stretched above his
shoulders on the wall. Chase covered him with his body; every inch
of him, draped over Alex, surrounding Alex with himself. Chase laced
their fingers together and pressed his face into the bend of Alex's
neck. The water made their skin slick and Chase began moving with
it.

Alex turned his head over a
shoulder and his lips brushed Chase's cheek, then his tongue licked
at the droplets of water on his skin. Chase slid closer and their
mouths caught in the middle, tongues beginning a sensual slide all
their own. The moan leaving Alex's mouth vibrated inside Chase's
throat. Chase rocked his hips again; his erection skimming along the
crease of Alex's ass. Alex matched Chase's fluid rhythm, losing
himself in the touch and taste of Chase, and then Chase went still.

“
Fuck,
don't stop,” Alex panted.

Chase dropped Alex's hands
and stepped back, his gaze dropping to the drain in the floor. Alex
turned to look at him.

“
Why'd
you stop?” Alex asked. His fingers ran through the rivulets of
water trailing down Chase's chest. “I was so close and I'm
pretty sure you were, too.”

Chase shook his head. He
rubbed at his face, then pushed open the shower stall door.
Wordlessly, he took a towel and began drying himself off.

Alex shut off the water and
stepped out onto the soft rug by the door. “What's going on?”
he asked. Chase moved silently back into the bedroom and picked up
his clothing from the floor. Alex tied the towel at his hip and sat
on the edge of the bed. He watched Chase step into his shorts and
partially zip them. “Chase. Talk to me. What the fuck is
going on? It looks like you're ready to bolt.”

Chase stopped dressing and
looked at Alex. He saw the worry in his face, the dejected slump of
his shoulders. “This is …,” Chase said, his voice
fading.

“
What?”
Alex asked.

Chase sat heavily on the bed
beside Alex and leaned forward, holding his face in his hands. “This
is surreal,” Chase finally said. “I can't believe I am
here – with you, and …”

“
And,
what?” Alex said. “You're killing me with the fragmented
sentences. Please. Finish your thought.”

“
Being
with you feels so good,” Chase whispered. “And, this
could be the last time we're together.”

“
Maybe
not,” Alex said. He draped an arm around around Chase's bare
shoulders and lightly tugged him down onto the mattress.

“
I
won't be able to walk away,” Chase said.

“
I
don't want you to,” Alex said.

Alex rolled onto his side
facing Chase. He untied the towel at his hip and came up over Chase
to straddle his hips.

Chase ran his hands up and
down the length of Alex's thighs, then tightly gripped his hips.
Alex leaned forward, resting his weight on his hands on the mattress
beside Chase's shoulders.

“
If
this is our last time,” Chase said. “I want it all.”

Alex
dropped down onto his forearms; his chest and stomach pressed to
Chase and Chase's arms circled his back. “Tell me what
all
means to you,” Alex said, and nipped at Chase's lips.

“
I
want you … inside me.”

A slow smile pulled at the
corners of Alex's mouth. “I can give you that. Happily.”

Alex slid off to the side of
Chase and crawled to rest against the pillows at the headboard. He
watched Chase remove his shorts and toss them onto the floor, then he
patted the empty spot on the mattress beside him.

Chase moved closer and
looked at Alex. He turned toward him and ran his fingers over Alex's
drying hair. The smile on Alex's face made his stomach knot up with
anticipation. He moved closer and nudged his nose to Alex's and
inhaled slowly. Emotion began to sting at his eyes and a lump was
forming in his throat. He didn't like the finality of how this night
felt to him and the emotional impact was ripping the heart right out
of his chest.

“
You
know I'm crazy about you, right?” Chase whispered.

Alex nodded and gently
kissed Chase. “I feel it every time you look at me,”
Alex said, breathing the words against Chase's partially opened
mouth. “And, I feel the same about you. Can you feel it when
I touch you?”

Chase grinned shyly. “Show
me how much,” he said, and rolled onto his back.

“
Are
you sure about this?” Alex asked. He shifted closer and fanned
his fingers through the soft wisps of hair at Chase's breastbone. “I
said in the beginning, I wouldn't expect this from you, Chase. I'm a
bottom and you're a natural top. It's why we work so well together.”

Chase's arm curled around
Alex's shoulder and lifted him on top in one quick movement. The
sudden shift; with Alex now staring down at Chase, made both their
breaths catch.

“
I
want you to do this,” Chase said.

Alex tipped his hips forward
and rubbed against Chase. His smile was endless. “You're
topping me from the bottom,” Alex said. “I love it.”
He reached across Chase and grabbed a tube of lube and a condom from
the table beside the bed. He set them both on the mattress, then
bent forward and kissed Chase. His tongue curled around Chase's and
dipped deep into his throat, then he teased the tip with his.

Chase arched on the bed and
moaned. “Christ, I love the way you kiss,” he said.
“The friction of your whiskers makes me so hot.”

“
I'm
glad,” Alex said. He took the tube of lube and popped open the
cap. He squeezed a line of the lubricant onto his fingertips and
smeared them together, then his eyes went back to Chase. “I
need to stretch you.”

“
I
know,” Chase said. “And, I'm looking forward to it …
just keep kissing me while you do it.”

“
Say
no more,” Alex said. He moved up along Chase's side and
claimed his mouth.

The kiss was hard, hot, and
possessive, making Chase sweat. He felt Alex's fingers run the
length of his cock, curl around his sac, then slip into his crease.
Chase moaned and opened wider. He grabbed Alex's neck and tugged him
closer; wanting a tighter seal on their mouths. One finger slid
inside him, then a second, and Chase's heart began to pound. Alex
spun his fingers and skimmed over Chase's gland, almost launching him
off the bed.

“
Holy
shit, do that again!” Chase said.

Alex nipped at Chase's lips.
“Oh, I intend to – with my cock.”

“
Fuck,
Alex,” Chase said. “Enough with the stretching. I need
you inside – now.”

Alex tore open the condom
packet and rolled it onto his cock, then he directed Chase to his
side and moved in behind him.

“
Spooning?”
Chase asked.

“
Don't
question my expertise,” Alex said, and smiled against the
heated flesh of Chase's shoulder. “I want your first time feel
as good as possible.”

Alex lifted Chase's leg and
draped it over his thigh, then squeezed more lube onto his fingers.
He coated his cock and Chase's crease, then pressed the tip of his
cock to Chase's opening.

“
Kiss
me,” Alex said, and wrapped his arms around Chase.

Chase turned his head and
met Alex over his shoulder, their lips locked and tongues swirled
around the other. Alex pressed his cock against Chase and deepened
their kiss; distracting Chase from the sting of his entry with the
pleasure of his mouth. Chase flinched and Alex eased off the
pressure.

“
Bear
down on me and breathe,” Alex whispered. He covered Chase's
mouth again, waited for him to relax, then nudged his cock a little
deeper and the ring of muscle gave way.

Chase moaned.

“
How
you doing?” Alex asked.

“
Keep
going,” Chase said. He tightened his grip on to Alex's arm
resting on his chest and laced their fingers together.

Another inch slipped inside
and then another. Chase's breathing hitched, coming faster. Alex
rubbed his chest, slow soothing strokes, while his tongue teased
Chase's lips.

And, then he was in as far
as he could go.

Alex stopped moving and held
his breath. He had to dig deep for every ounce of self-control he
had and offer it to Chase; when all he wanted to do was repeatedly
slam his cock into his tight, hot channel until Chase screamed his
name in orgasm. Not today. Today would be all about Chase and his
pleasure. Alex wanted nothing more than to make Chase feel good;
have him feel every bit of emotion Alex had for him pour from his
touch and the one spot they were so perfectly joined together. If
Alex could give that to Chase, he'd be one happy man.

Alex remained still, firmly
embracing Chase and spooning him with his body. His cock was deeply
embedded inside Chase; pulsing, thickening further, almost bursting
into flames from the sheer heat circling and stroking his cock. He
kissed Chase's shoulder and closed his eyes; breathing him in,
feeling everything that was Chase surround him and wrap him with
blissful sensations.

And, then he felt it,
pounding in Chase's deepest core; the steady rhythmic pulse of
Chase's heartbeat. The feeling that came with this was overwhelming
and Alex almost lost that thin thread of control he was holding on to
for dear life.

“
Christ,
you feel so good,” Alex sighed, lightly biting Chase's
shoulder, then kissing the skin.

Chase nudged his nose to
Alex's face. “Aren't you gonna move?”

Alex lifted his head and
gazed at Chase. “You okay if I do?”

Chase nodded. “I want
you to.”

Alex pulled his hips back,
almost removing his cock from Chase, then slowly pushed inside again.

“
Harder,”
Chase said.

Alex obliged and delivered
Chase a solid thrust and Chase moaned.

“
Still
okay?” Alex asked.

“
Yes,
fuck me.”

Alex's hips snapped forward
again and Chase cursed. Chase pushed back against Alex. He grabbed
his own leg behind the knee and held himself open for Alex. Alex
used the extra room and changed the angle of his thrusts and this
time Chase sighed his name. Hearing it roll from Chase's mouth while
Alex was deep inside him damn near brought an early end to him.
