Disasterology 101 (24 page)

So maybe he didn’t need the words. Cedric seemed to be hot enough.

Yes!

“We’re doing it then,” Kevin rasped.

Cedric pressed a gloved hand over his erection and nodded three times.

“Leave it alone,” Kevin ordered him. “That’s mine.”

He didn’t have a clue where the hell that command came from, but he wasn’t surprised by it. He already felt a little protective of Cedric, a whole lot possessive, and it looked like he should add domineering to the growing list.

Kevin was unnerved by his feelings. Thanks to Jenny and his children he was more than familiar with protectiveness, but the possessive, domineering, and totally Neanderthal shit was new. He’d never wanted to own anyone before.

“You’re bloody right, it is yours,” Cedric’s confirmation snapped him out of his thoughts. “I wouldn’t go to anybody else.”

“I’d kill you if you did.”
Whoa
. “I don’t know why I said that,” he gawped. What the hell was he doing, saying things like that so fucking early in the game? He’d be lucky if the guy didn’t kick him out of his place.
I couldn’t deal if I knew you were with another man.
“Fuck.”

Cedric smirked. “Please.”

Oh yeah, there he is….

That was the guy he’d seen at the coffee shop. The guy who’d followed him, and weeks later worked his snarky magic until Kevin agreed to go out with him. He was thrilled to catch a glimpse of that Cedric.

And all because he’s hard
.

Amazing what a good boner could do for a man’s self-esteem and confidence.

And just like that Kevin’s mind was back in the gutter.

Breath heaving heavily in and out of his lungs, he walked up to Cedric and thrust his tongue into his mouth for a rough, plundering, ravenous kiss. He buried his fingers between Cedric’s braids, and pressed the burning length of his cock against his belly. Then he stopped. If he didn’t chill, he’d make a mess of it all.

“Thirty minutes, right?” he asked, pulling Cedric toward the bed. “That hasn’t changed?”

“No.” Cedric sat on the edge of the mattress and looked up at him. “The time frame is the same.”

Kevin tightened the towel around his hips and kneeled in front of Cedric. That’s when he noticed the second pair of gloves he was carrying. Perfect.

“Wanna make out for a little bit?” he asked playfully.

“Make out?” Cedric repeated.

“You know…” He placed his hands on Cedric’s knees, careful not to touch bare skin just yet. “Engage in some heavy petting and foreplay. Mind if I borrow these?” Not waiting for permission, he took the second pair of gloves from Cedric’s death grip.

Cedric blanched, but after a few seconds he said, “Foreplay is a foreign concept to me.”

“Curious?” Kevin teased. He might be a gay sex virgin, but he had twenty years of relationship experience under his belt. He knew what to say. He could do this.

“I can’t.” Cedric shook his head so hard, the ends of his braids hit Kevin’s arms.

“I didn’t ask if you can.” Kevin put on Cedric’s gloves and stretched his fingers. They were soft, and much lighter than he expected. They fit perfectly. “I asked if you’re curious.”

Cedric’s hands curled into fists and he squeezed his eyes shut. A definite yes, if Kevin ever
saw
one, which was why he decided against pushing for more. He figured Cedric’s refusal to verbalize his answer was an attempt to protect himself. Considering his history with the first boyfriend, Kevin couldn’t blame him for trying to hide behind a wall.

“I am curious,” Cedric rasped all of a sudden. “I haven’t been able to stop thinking about what I’d like to do with you since we met.” He narrowed his eyes and firmed his jaw. “But I know my limits.”

“Seems to me you push them every day.” He dug his thumbs in the inside of Cedric’s knees until the guy got the message and spread his legs. “Just imagine how good it’ll feel to get your nipples pinched while I suck you off.”

“Why are you wearing my gloves?”

“I told you I’d protect you from my germs, didn’t I?” Kevin put his arms around Cedric’s waist, then leaned forward and placed butterfly kisses on his chest. “Clothes hide so much….” He trailed his fingertips beneath the tight tank top and up a nicely muscled back. “I’ve been dying to find out what you look like under all the fabric you wear.” He kissed Cedric’s shoulder and his Adam’s apple. When Cedric clutched his shoulders, Kevin pulled his mouth away and looked up at him.

Lush, moist lips.

Brown eyes darkened and dilated.

Heavy breathing and flushed cheeks.

In an instant the air around them became charged with their combined arousal and anticipation. There was also an almost tangible feeling of dread, but Kevin ignored it. It wasn’t the time to fret.

“I never met someone like you,” Cedric whispered. “Willing to overlook how not normal I am.” He slid his gloved hands down Kevin’s arms. “Nobody’s ever done that… I didn’t think anyone ever would.”

“Not normal,” Kevin repeated the words, but did his best to hide the animosity he felt for whoever had dared say something like that to Cedric’s face. Fucking jerks. “I don’t think about you in those terms.”

“Why not?”

“You’re just Cedric to me.” He took one of Cedric’s braids and tickled him with it. “You know… Smart, funny, beautiful, no-way-I-can-resist-you, Cedric.”

“There’s something wrong with you.” Cedric’s tone was stern, but his eyes twinkled.

“You think?” Kevin chuckled softly. “I honestly doubt I’m the first man to want more from you than what you’re able to give.” Slowly, provocatively, Kevin moved his hands to Cedric’s chest and pinched his nipples. “But I’m hoping to be the one who gets it.”

“It might not be much.” Cedric moaned and arched his back, silently asking Kevin to keep touching him. He had really sensitive nipples. Good to know.

“I don’t care.” He pinched Cedric’s nipples again, delighted he could feel them pucker through his covered fingers. “I’ll take it.” He sneaked one hand between their bodies and squeezed Cedric’s cock. He could’ve sworn the pulsating heat burnt a hole through his glove and seared his skin. “Oh, God.” He buried his head in Cedric’s neck, and trembled when strong arms tightened around him and long, bare legs circled his waist. “I’ve never felt like this before,” he confessed. “My skin tingles when I see you smile, and when you look at me my cock throbs.”

“I feel the same way,” Cedric said, and damn if Kevin’s heart didn’t do a back flip and a somersault.

“Do you?”

“You gave me the worst blowjob of my life.” Kevin cringed at the memory. Cedric giggled. “But somehow you also managed to blow my mind.”

“Was it really that bad?”

“Dreadful.” Cedric dropped a kiss on Kevin’s shoulder and thrust his hips forward. “And you’re going to make it up to me,” he growled in Kevin’s ear.

Kevin took a deep, ragged breath.

He wanted to go as slow as he could. Keep talking to Cedric until he’d made absolutely sure the guy was as relaxed as possible. He knew nothing good would come of rushing, and the last thing he needed was a repeat of his clumsy performance at the sex shop.

But he wasn’t as strong as he thought.

Hell….

He felt on the verge of coming just from looking at Cedric and hearing him moan.

“I’ve got to get this off you.” Grudgingly, he let go of Cedric’s length and pulled the elastic waistband of his shorts. “I can’t wait any longer to see you.” He felt Cedric drop his legs and stop breathing. Kevin prayed he’d understood his urge, and that he was willing and ready. “I need to see all of you,” he repeated.

“Let me up,” Cedric said after a few seconds that felt like hours. “Move out of the way.”

Fuck.

Kevin stood up and ran his fingers through his hair. He didn’t dare look in Cedric’s direction.

Had he gone too far with the talking? Was Cedric bored, or had Kevin’s teenage-like admission of his desire make the guy stop what they were doing?

No. That wasn’t it.

Asking him to get naked had probably done it.

Cedric got up from the bed and placed his hands on Kevin’s shoulders. Convinced as he was he’d messed things up with his babbling, the gentle gesture threw Kevin off balance. He wasn’t expecting it, and he had no idea what to make of it.

Kevin held his breath when Cedric slid his hands slowly from his shoulders down to his chest; fisted his hands when gloved fingertips brushed over his collarbone and his pecs, and almost swallowed his tongue when Cedric smiled at him. He looked shy and a little hesitant. Prettiest thing Kevin had ever seen in… forever.

“You’re so warm.” There was awe in Cedric’s tone. As if he’d never felt the heat of another man before. “I can feel you through my gloves.”

Kevin closed his eyes and forced himself to stay still under Cedric’s roaming fingers. His pecs tensed up and his abs quivered, and he moaned when Cedric tugged on the knot of his towel. But to his total disappointment, the guy didn’t get rid of it. Instead of going for his dick and giving it a few hard tugs—like Kevin was hoping for—Cedric pushed him down until he sat on the edge of the bed. Then he backed off a few steps and grabbed the hem of his tank top.

“Lord have mercy,” Kevin whispered.

Mouth dry and eyes dilated, Kevin watched enthralled as Cedric got naked.

At six foot two inches, and about a hundred and sixty pounds, Cedric was on the thin side of the scale, but he didn’t look skinny. He was no male waif.

Miles of pale, unmarred skin were revealed.

Broad, strong shoulders.

Chiseled chest.

Kevin’s eyes worked overtime trying to capture mental snapshots of what came next.

Tight, dark pink nipples that were the size of nickels. Six-pack abs. Strong arms and bulging biceps. Long legs covered with barely-there hair. He was taut, sinuous, and leanly muscled, with kind of an athletic vigor to his body. It projected solidity and strength. Kevin had forty pounds on the guy, and no doubt whatsoever they were well-matched.

“Your body is—Jesus, oddball. You’re magnificent.”

And Kevin was thirty-six years old, and even though he did an awful lot of physical labor, his body wasn’t that firm or ripped anymore. What if Cedric got turned off by the sight of him? What if—

“Not as much as you.”

Well, hell
. “Thank you.”

“What?” Cedric’s smile was sweet and somewhat thankful. “No arguing with me? No telling me it’s daft to fancy an older man?”

Kevin snorted. “I’m not stupid.” He opened his legs slightly to give his hard-on some breathing room. “I’m ecstatic to know you’re as attracted to me as I am to you.”

They shared a smile, and Cedric took a step closer to the bed.

“Is this what you wanted to see?” Cedric asked in a very low, albeit seductive, voice that ran from Kevin’s ears to his groin in one second flat.

Kevin glanced up at Cedric. “I want to see the rest.” He watched the guy’s high cheekbones color with excitement. Or was that self-consciousness? Maybe both. “Let me see your cock, Cedric,” he said in a guttural voice that didn’t sound anything like his own. “Show me what you’re gonna fuck me with.”

Cedric’s nostrils flared with his indrawn jerky breath.

Yes!

Slowly, Cedric pulled down his shorts and stepped out of them.

Honed hips. Buff ass. Heavy, firm, hairless balls drawn tight. And the crown jewel: a long, thick, pink, not too veiny, uncut, hugely erect dick that stole Kevin’s breath and made his ass clench.

His gaze swept up and down the other man’s body, arousal building to an explosive force when Cedric wrapped his gloved hand around his own cock, and slowly but firmly slid the drop of pre-cum shining in his slit forward.
