Playing The Hero (9 page)

Chapter 13

“Let’s go on a trip.” Reid said as he tossed the magazine he hadn’t really been reading on the coffee table. He crossed his arms behind his head and stared at the ceiling. “We could go skiing. Maybe Colorado. You said you haven’t smoked pot in years and miss it sometimes. You could get baked and I could take advantage of you while we lounge in front of a fireplace.” Reid paused, pretending Carter was going to respond. “It could be really romantic. I’ll get us one of those places where you can ski right up to the back door, with a hot tub. We can fuck like rabbit's and maybe ski a little.” He frowned as heat started to trickle into his groin and his cock stirred.
Don’t get turned on now,
he warned. Reid’s eyes settled on the back of Carter’s head. “Do you even ski?” He asked.

Carter sighed as he pulled his headphones on. Reid grinned as he stretched his arms and legs before he rolled onto his stomach on the couch. Maybe he would take a nap. Reid stared at Sadie, sprawled on her bed across the room. It seemed to be working for her. He sighed again as he looked over at Carter. He’d much rather nap with Carter. But Reid knew that Carter wasn’t going to agree to it. Not when he was working.

At first, Carter didn’t like the idea of Reid hanging around during the day when he was off. Carter warned that he didn’t like to be disturbed and could get cranky when he was working. He tried to convince Reid that he’d enjoy himself more if he entertained himself outside of Carter’s house. He’d even gone as far as to suggest that Reid hang out at his own place and unpack a few boxes. Reid had waved that ridiculous idea off without even considering it. He could barely remember what was in most of the boxes. Books, movies and junk. Not nearly as interesting as spending the day with Carter. Reid really didn’t mind that Carter got a little irritable and did his best to ignore him. Carter had a real work ethic when it came to writing and Reid respected that. It didn’t mean he didn’t have fun with it now and then. Reid would have one sided conversations and throw out ridiculous and sometimes filthy comments, mostly to amuse himself but now and then Carter would hear them and shake his head or put on his headphones.

And then there was the couch. It was like curling up in a well loved and really broken in baseball glove. It was large and soft and warm. Especially when the sun was just right and spilled down on it. Like it was just then. It would be so easy to fall asleep and have one of those epic naps where you drool and stay unconscious until your bladder wakes you up in agony. But it would be so much better with Carter. Reid loved when their bodies tangled and their chests rose and fell in the same rhythm as they played with each other’s hair until they drifted off. Of course, they didn’t always drift off or they had to take a detour before they were both tired enough to drift off. A lot of really naughty things had occurred on the couch. In fact, just the night before… Reid shook his head, trying to divert his thoughts to something a little less boner inducing. He rubbed his cheek against the soft leather and thought about the first night and talking until early morning before falling asleep with Carter. The couch had become the soothing, happy center of Reid’s universe.

Reid smiled and his body began to feel lighter. He started falling in love with Carter that first night. And it was as if every minute Reid spent on that couch, either with Carter on it or watching him work across room, occasionally annoying him, fed that little flame inside Reid’s chest until it had spread through his whole body. Carter could be grumpy and he still tried to hold Reid at an emotional distance but when he wasn’t working and when he let his guard down, Carter was… irresistible. His sarcastic, snarky sense of humor was always under the surface. Reid had never been with someone that made him laugh as often. And Carter was brilliant. He wrote books for teenagers but they were written with so much faith in their intelligence and probably had as many rabid adult fans as young adults. Every now and then, Carter would make a comment and it would knock Reid on his ass, it would be subtle at first but once Reid turned it over in his mind, it would unravel and expand and it could take his breath away. Something that seemed like a cheeky observation could have historical or literary depths that left Reid a little stunned at times. Carter also found a way to be bluntly tender. His compliments were never flowery or weak, they were straightforward and often direct. But the language was always well crafted and precise. And Carter was generous and liked to demonstrate his affection in ways that went beyond touching. He never went to the store without finding something for Reid. It could be anything from a fresh cookie from the bakery to a paperback book to a yo-yo or even a tiny stuffed elephant. Carter loved to cook for Reid, they rarely went out for dinner. Which was wonderful. Carter was good at finding something achingly comforting (lobster mac and cheese) or almost too sensual to be decent (Meyer lemon pana cotta) for each meal.

And the sex. Every time they touched, it was like a strong current of heat passing from one to the other. Sometimes, it was lazy, almost drugging and they’d be content to just loll in it. Other times, it was like a spark flying into a pile of dry brush. They would ignite, searing each other’s skin with lips and tongues and wild, burning touches until there was nothing left but heavy, sweat soaked limbs. Reid hadn’t fucked Carter yet but even then, everything was spectacular. Reid could wait for that. He had plenty of other options to distract him. Carter in bed (or on the couch) could be gentle and generous, he could give a long, slow blow job that made it hard for a man to remember he had a name. Or, he would snap and bend Reid over the counter and tongue fuck his ass until he came so hard he nearly blacked out. And when Carter fucked Reid… it was like riding a unicorn. Because he was hung like a horse and it was pretty damn magical.

Reid’s lips pulled tight as he stared at Carter. He was going to have to take a break. Reid had gone and got himself painfully aroused. A nap was definitely not happening until after he got off. He was going to have to find some way to get Carter to stop working so Reid could get back to blissfully and decadently lounging on the love cocoon/couch. Reid’s eyes narrowed as he considered. A moment later, a sinister grin curved his lips and he ran upstairs. Reid grabbed a condom and some lube and quietly returned to the living room. He quickly stripped off his clothes and snuck up behind Carter. Reid slid his hand up the back of Carter’s neck and his fingers sifted through Carter’s hair.

“Working.” Carter muttered. Reid bit his lip and adjusted his approach. His hand snuck under the collar of Carter’s t-shirt and pushed down Carter’s chest, his nails grazing warm, tight skin. Carter sighed and slapped at Reid’s hand and Reid laughed softly as he pulled his hand out of Carter’s shirt. He bent and set his tongue flat against the back of Carter’s neck and licked slowly. Carter shivered. “In a little bit, Reid.” He mumbled. Reid clenched his jaw as frustration flicked at his patience. He tossed the lube and condom on the desk next to Carter’s laptop. A grumbly sigh sound rumbled in Carter’s throat as he turned his chair. “Rei…” His name fell out of Carter’s mouth as his jaw dropped. Carter blinked several times and Reid watched as the shape of Carter’s cock grew and pressed against his jeans. “Oh…” Reid didn’t hear that last word, it was more a breath wrapped in tightening lips. He pulled Carter’s headphones off and set them on the desk. Carter’s eyes swept up Reid’s body, to his eyes. They were dark and full of awe and hunger before they slowly trailed back down Reid’s body. Carter licked his lips when his gaze settled on Reid’s very insistent and pulsing erection. Reid’s hand cupped Carter’s jaw before it slid around his neck and gently pulled Carter’s head toward his cock. A soft moan washed over Reid’s flesh before Carter’s tongue swept over the head. It was heaven. Reid let his head fall back and his eyes closed as he sunk into the delight of Carter’s lips wrapped around his throbbing shaft and the strong pull of his hot, wet, luscious mouth. Reid thrust gently until he was almost out of gentle. He opened his eyes and looked down at Carter. The sight of his beautiful lips wrapped around Reid’s cock as his head swayed back and forth caused a tremor of heat and need to roll through Reid.

“Take your cock out. I want to see it.” Reid growled. Carter nodded slightly and wrapped his hands around Reid’s ass. He pulled Reid with him as he leaned back in his chair and scooted his hips forward. Reid watched as Carter’s hands worked quickly at the fly of his jeans as he continued to suck. This time, Reid moaned. Carter’s erection practically jumped out of his boxer briefs and was so large and hard. “Stroke it.” Reid ordered.

Carter hummed around Reid’s rigid length and it made Reid gasp. Seeing Carter’s long, graceful fingers wrap around his thick hard-on nearly ended Reid. His balls tightened and his breath caught in his chest. Reid whispered Carter’s name and pulled away from Carter’s mouth. Carter’s eyes were heavy and his lips were swollen when he looked up at Reid.

“Fuck. You’re so beautiful.” Reid gathered Carter’s face in his hands and kissed him urgently before he dropped to his knees between Carter’s legs.

Reid pushed his hands up Carter’s thighs as the tip of his tongue slid along the length of Carter’s erection. They groaned simultaneously when Reid found the trail of pre-cum that had steadily drooled from the head. Reid savored it as his eyes held Carter’s and his lips curved when he felt Carter’s hand tangle in his hair.

“Please.” Carter panted and goosebumps spilled down Reid’s back and arms as his own need exploded.

He took Carter deep into his mouth and sucked hungrily, too desperate to tease him anymore. Reid covered Carter’s cock with his lips, tongue and hands, his body thrumming wildly with anxious lust, fed by the softly salty and soapy taste of Carter’s flesh, the sweet slickness of his pre-cum and Carter’s hoarse moans and gasps. Reid’s hand shook as he reached up and blindly searched for the condom. Almost as soon as his fingers closed around it, he had it ripped open and was stretching it over the head of Carter’s thick, hard length. When he stood, Carter grabbed Reid’s hips and spun him. Carter’s hand shot up Reid’s back and pushed him, throwing him against the desk before Carter grabbed Reid’s hips and pulled them back. Reid hissed when he felt Carter’s tongue running down the cleft of his ass. He whimpered impatiently as Carter opened him and pressed his lips to Reid’s hole.

“Yes! Just hurry, please!” Reid begged as he gripped the edge of the desk.

“MmmMmm.” Carter hummed as his tongue lashed over Reid’s trembling entrance.

Reid swore as his forehead fell onto the desk. Carter took his time, laving and sucking before he drilled his tongue into Reid, probing and curling deep into his tight passage. Reid’s pleas and curses went unheard, just moist vapor against cool wood as Carter feasted ruthlessly. By the time Carter was working three fingers smoothly in and out of Reid’s clenching heat, Reid’s body was shaking and his jaw felt like it was going to crack, he’d clenched it so hard to keep from screaming. When Carter finally pulled Reid back and guided him onto his cock, Reid nearly wept with relief. Reid’s relief didn’t last. Carter’s hands wrapped around Reid’s waist like vises, forcing him to slide down excruciatingly slow. Reid bit his lip and he sighed when his thighs finally settled on Carter’s lap. Carter bucked his hips and lighting shot down Reid’s legs and up his spine.

“Oh, Jesus!” Reid cried as his fingertips dug into Carter’s thighs. “Please, let me ride your cock.” Reid panted. Carter’s hands swept up Reid’s back reverently.

“Fine. But don’t come.” Carter said firmly and Reid’s head swung and he looked back over his shoulder in shock.

“What?” He gasped. Carter lips cocked up at the corner and his eyes flashed.

“Don’t come until I’m done. You’re going to ride me until I come and then I’m going to swallow you.” Carter bucked again and Reid yelped. “Now, go.” He commanded as he pushed Reid forward. Reid leaned and braced his hands on the desk.

“Holy shit, Carter. Watch much porn?” Reid mumbled as he rocked forward. Carter’s cock pressed against and stretched everything within Reid’s passage. Reid bit his lip hard, trying to counter the swell of warm pleasure radiating from his prostate as the head of Carter’s erection ground against it with each stroke. He leaned forward more, changing the angle in hopes of holding off his orgasm as he bounced hard against Carter’s lap. Carter’s nails scraped down his back, sending another shower of goosebumps down Reid’s slick flesh, causing him to squeeze tight around Carter’s cock.

“Fuuuuck!” Carter groaned as he swung forward. His arms closed around Reid as he rose on his feet. “You’re so fucking good, Reid.” His breath huffed, hot and damp against the back of Reid’s neck as he thrust deep. “Nothing should feel this good. You’re so perfect.” His arms were tight around Reid’s chest, making it hard for Reid to draw in a full breath but Reid didn’t care. Carter’s hips were driving so fast, his cock sliding in and out of Reid’s tight passage, relentless, smooth and hot. It was too good. The pressure was building in the base of Reid’s cock, his sack was starting to throb and squeeze as warmth and pleasure seeped from his groin.

“Carter… God, Carter… I can’t much longer.” Reid ground out as he held onto Carter’s arms. Carter shook his head, his slick forehead sliding against the damp skin between Reid’s shoulder blades.

“I’m so close.” He whispered. “Wait.” Carter’s teeth dug into Reid’s flesh, just twisting everything that much tighter. Reid moaned as his nerves started to flicker.

“Now, Carter!” Reid pleaded as he tightened his muscles around Carter’s cock.

It was a risky move, it sent a flash of bright pleasure coursing through his limbs and he whimpered. But it worked. Carter screamed as he rose on the balls of his feet, driving brutally deep and Reid’s eyes flared and he gasped. Carter thrust hard twice and froze, his chest locked against a yell as his body began to convulse. Reid held his breath and squeezed his eyes shut, trying to hold off the exquisite pressure and heat building in his balls and the base of his erection.
