Galen's Redemption

by Parker Williams

  As they stepped out the door, Robert nudged Galen. “I don’t need an aphrodisiac. I’ve been waiting months for this night, and you should expect to have problems walking for at least the next week.”

  “Ooh, challenge accepted.”

  Hand in hand, they made their way down Wells to where they’d parked the car. Robert opened Galen’s door and closed it as soon as he was in. Then he went to the driver’s side and slid into his own seat.

  “Buckle up.”

  Galen did, but groaned as he clicked the belt into place.

  “What’s wrong?”

  “All I can think of is ‘buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride,’ and I’ve been dying for that.”

  “Well, I promise to do my best not to disappoint you.”

  The whole way back to the shelter, Robert fantasized about stripping Galen’s clothes off, laying him down on the bed, and, hopefully, taking him to new heights of ecstasy. In the few relationships he’d had, he’d always done his best not to be a selfish lover, but making this night special for them both was of utmost importance.

  “Okay, I know we haven’t talked about this, and I don’t want there to be any miscommunications. In the past I’ve always topped, but with you—”

  Galen blew out a breath. “Oh thank God. I don’t ever want to top.”

  Robert chuckled. “Why?”

  “I’ve got skills that aren’t conducive to being on top. There’s all this pressure about making the other person feel good, and I would be too nervous to get it up. I like being on the bottom. I asked Andy once why it would never have worked out between us, and he reminded me that neither of us wanted to be on top.”

  “I’ll tell you what… I promise that if you decide you want to try topping, I’ll get on my back and throw my legs in the air for you.”

  Galen shot him an amused look. “Aw, that’s almost romantic. But you don’t ever have to worry about it, because it ain’t happening.” He clutched Robert’s hand. “Can we stop talking and get to the fucking?”

  The snort from Robert was, at best, inelegant. “Talk about romantic.”

  When Galen grabbed his shirt and dragged him down, Robert growled.

  “I can’t wait to get you home.”

  Galen slid a hand over Robert’s chest. “My place is closer, and Andy’s gone… You could just come there.”

  “Oh, I like the idea of coming there. So what are you saying?”

  “We have the whole place to ourselves. We can get naked and fuck like bunnies and never have to put a stitch of clothes on the whole time.”

  “Yes, I think that’s where we need to go.”

  Before they pulled out, Robert called Noel to let him know he wasn’t going to be home. Noel snickered and asked about his plans. Robert’s gaze drifted to Galen, and he realized that he needed to bring the two parts of his family together in order for them all to move on. If Noel wasn’t willing to forgive Galen, that was okay. Robert would never presume to dismiss his feelings, but he couldn’t lie about having Galen in his life. That wasn’t fair to any of them, because Robert fully intended that if he and Galen were going to be together, they’d be doing so in public, not sneaking around like they were ashamed.

  Because Robert wasn’t ashamed of his feelings for Galen. In fact, he wanted to celebrate their love.

  And tonight, he was going to make sure Galen understood what it meant to be in love.

  Chapter Twenty-Two

  THE FIRST thing Galen did when they walked in was snatch Mouse up and carry her to the bathroom.

  “Sorry, baby, but Daddy needs to get laid.”

  “Are you talking to me or Mouse? Because I don’t mind if you call me Daddy.”

  He knew Robert was teasing, and it made Galen smile. “No, I’m talking to Mouse.”

  Robert laughed, warm and rich, like a caress. “Okay. But if you want to think about calling me Daddy, go ahead.”

  “Yeah, no. It makes me think of my father, and that has my erection shriveling.”

  Robert appeared in the door. “Well, can’t have that.” He reached out and ran a hand over Mouse’s head. “You be good, and maybe later we’ll buy you a new toy.”

  “Don’t try to blackmail her. She’s always good.” Galen nuzzled her but jolted upright when Robert stroked a hand over his ass. He put Mouse in her basket, turned around, pushed Robert out the door, then closed it behind them.

  Galen couldn’t believe how nervous he was. He’d been fantasizing about this moment for months, but now that it was here? What if he couldn’t satisfy Robert? He’d been with a lot of men before, but Galen had never been so desperate to make someone happy.

  When Robert grabbed his shoulders and pushed him against the door, all other thoughts went out of Galen’s mind.

  “God, your skin… it’s like porcelain, and I just want to mark it up. I bet it would make a hickey stand out.” Robert nuzzled Galen’s neck. “Mind if we find out?”

  Unable to find the words, Galen simply tilted his head. When Robert chuckled, Galen knew he’d made the right choice. It started out so simply. Lips and tongue on flesh, as Robert licked and sucked on the tendons. Galen clutched Robert’s hips, trying to pull them closer together.

  Then Robert struck. The soft, playful teasing was gone, and Robert was going in with fervent determination, chewing on the tender skin. He ran his hands over Galen’s chest, his back, and finally brought them to Galen’s ass, squeezing and pulling the cheeks apart.

  “Too many clothes.”

  Galen tugged on the front of his shirt, ready to yank it off, but his hands were stilled by Robert.

  “You know, I’ve had this fantasy for a while, and I want to indulge myself tonight.” He took Galen by the hand and led him to the middle of the room. “I want you to stay still. If I want you in a certain position, I’ll move your body, but then you need to keep it where I put it, okay?”

  Oh fuck. The fire in Robert’s eyes threatened to undo Galen. No one had ever looked at him like that. Heat. Possession. Love.

  “Galen? Can you nod or something so I know you’re still with me?”

  “Don’t move. I got it.” He whimpered. “Please, touch me.”

  He couldn’t believe how needy he was. Prior to this moment, Galen had thought the sex he’d had at the bar was going to be his greatest night ever, but this? Robert had barely touched him, and it blew that encounter away. He wanted it all with Robert. The good. The bad. And everything in between.

  “Love me. Please.”

  Fuck, he sounded pathetic. He wouldn’t blame Robert if he stomped away in disgust at—

  A sharp crack on his ass jolted Galen from his musings.

  “Focus on me. You asked me for something, and I want to be sure you get it.” He leaned over and nibbled Galen’s ear. “I do love you. Stop thinking about other people. Focus on the two most important ones right now. Me and you. You want me to show you how much I want you? I can do that.”

  Robert stripped Galen slowly. He lifted Galen’s arms and slid the shirt off over his head. When Galen went to lower them, Robert gripped his wrists.

  “Keep them where I put them.”

  He held his arms still while Robert’s hands ghosted over his body. Robert leaned in close and nibbled the area around Galen’s underarm. He’d never thought the area could be sensual, but somehow Robert made it a fucking turn-on. He tweaked a nipple, stroked a hip, leaned in, and gave the other nipple a lick. Every movement was slow and deliberate. Every moan, whimper, or squeak had Robert searching for other areas to torture.

  He knelt before Galen, hands deftly popping the button of his jeans and lowering the zipper. He tugged them down a bit. “Nice underwear. Pity they’re going to be ruined when I’m done with you.”

  Oh shit. That voice was so hot. It was deep, gravelly, and pressed Galen’s cock even harder against his pants.

  “So good, Galen. You’re fucking beautiful, did you know that? I’ve never met another guy who even holds a candle to you.�
�

  The pants were pulled down to Galen’s knees. His cock pressed the fabric of the underwear, stretching it obscenely. Precome stained the light blue fabric.

  Robert shocked Galen when he moved in close and took it in his mouth, sucking on it. He pulled off and looked up at Galen, giving him a smile. “You taste good too.” He went back to laving the area with his tongue, then drawing it and the head of Galen’s cock into his mouth. “I wonder what it’s going to be like when I have your whole cock in my throat. Let’s find out, shall we?”

  He yanked the pants and underwear down, and lifted Galen’s legs out of them one at a time. When he finished, Galen stood stark naked in front of Robert.

  “You don’t know how long I’ve wanted this, Galen. I caught glimpses of your body and wished I could strip off your clothes with my mind. If I could, I’d keep you naked all the time. A body like this is too amazing to cover.” He sniffed Galen’s crotch. “And the scent. Rugged, masculine. No mistaking you for anything but a man.”

  Before Galen could give thought to the words, he cried out when Robert opened his mouth wide and plunged it over Galen’s burgeoning erection.

  He moved his hands, wanting to grab Robert’s head, but then stopped. “Please. I can’t. I don’t know…. Robert.”

  Robert pulled off slowly, applying suction the whole way. “Tell me what you want, Galen.”

  “I want… I want to hold your head. Can I?”

  “Hell, yes. Grab hold and go to town.”

  Being given permission freed Galen from his worries. He clutched the back of Robert’s head and shoved the length of his cock into Robert’s mouth. Fuck, it was glorious. Robert had skills, taking Galen to the pubes. When he reached up and cupped Galen’s balls, Galen keened.

  “Don’t. I don’t want to come yet.”

  Robert chuckled and did it again. And again. Galen put his hand on Robert’s forehead and tried to push him back, but his efforts were futile. Robert worked his tongue around the head, then plunged down again, pulling Galen’s cock into his throat.

  “I’m gonna…. Robert, I can’t….”

  When Robert reached around and tapped at Galen’s hole, he lost it. He cried out as he shot down Robert’s throat. Galen’s orgasm shook his body. He trembled as Robert licked and sucked, then pulled off and cleaned his cock, making it glisten in the light.

  “Okay, that’s round one.”

  “What?” Galen was exhausted already. “You sucked the life out of me.”

  “Only a few squirts of it.” Robert grinned and licked his lips lasciviously as he stood. “Trust me, I’m going to be able to milk more out of you by the time we’re finished.”

  “More?” Galen hated how his voice squeaked.

  “Yup. So much more.” He stalked closer as Galen attempted to move back. “And just think, I’ve got hours to do it. Thank you for suggesting this.”

  Oh, Galen was so fucked. Then he realized what was coming. He snickered at the double entendre.

  “Now you’re getting it.” Robert crowded his big body against Galen. “Wanna point me to your bedroom?”

  Galen lifted a shaky hand and pointed.

  “Good.” Robert put his hands on Galen’s ass and lifted him off the ground. “Wrap your legs around my waist and hold on to me.”

  Doing as he was told brought Galen’s neck back into Robert’s reach, and Robert made full use of it. He pushed Galen against the wall and buried his face, nipping, sucking, biting…. Oh God, the sensations. Galen wasn’t sure he could get it up again, but his cock was making a valiant effort. What more could Robert do to him? Could he really make him come again? Between those thoughts and Robert’s sensual assault, Galen’s cock lengthened.

  “I can feel that, you know. And here you thought you weren’t going to be able to come again.” Robert sucked on Galen’s earlobe. “You know, saying that makes it a personal challenge for me.” Then he went back to Galen’s neck, which seemed to have a direct line to his cock. The more Robert sucked, the harder Galen got. When Robert leaned back, he had a smug grin on his face. “People are going to be seeing those for a long time.”

  “More.” It was all Galen could croak out. God, he wanted so much more.

  Robert carried him to the bedroom, where he laid him down gently. “Oh, don’t worry. I have a whole canvas that I need to color.”

  ROBERT SPREAD Galen’s arms and legs out to the corners of the bed. He wondered briefly if Galen would let himself give up control and be tied down. He filed away that fantasy for later use. He stripped quickly, wanting to get back to Galen. When appreciative eyes raked over his body, Robert was pleased that he did his best to stay in shape.

  “Okay, let’s get down to business.”

  He leaned over, took Galen’s nipple in his mouth, and tugged it up with his teeth. At the same time, he pinched the other, squeezing it gently. Galen trembled and bucked, his head thrashing side to side.

  “Are you enjoying yourself?”

  Galen’s back arched, pushing his cock into the air. “Nggggh.”

  Robert chuckled as he slid his fingers along the hot flesh. “I’ve reduced you to grunts and groans. I like that.”

  He didn’t give Galen time to think, let alone act, as he sucked up hickeys on his chest, stomach, legs, arms. Anywhere his lips would fit, Robert marked. And Galen took it all. He whimpered and moaned, keened and howled.

  By the time Robert was ready to move on, Galen’s body was a tapestry of red and purple all over that creamy skin.

  “More. Please.”

  Holy shit. Robert had never been with a more eager lover. The way Galen thrashed on the bed as Robert stroked his legs, slipping his fingers under Galen’s balls and teasing his crack. Fuck, it was such a turn-on.

  “Tell me what you want, Galen.”

  Those beautiful gray eyes fluttered open and tried to focus on Robert, but they were dreamy. “Whatever you want.”

  “That leaves a lot of leeway, you know.” Robert pushed his finger deeper into the crevice. “What if I just want to tease this all night?”

  That got Galen’s attention. His head snapped up and he glared at Robert. “No way!”

  “Then you’d best tell me what you want—otherwise I’m going to continue what I’m doing. And believe me, I’ve got no problem with not coming tonight. I’ve held back for months, so a few more hours won’t bother me too much.”

  Galen huffed out a breath. “You’re a monster, you know that?” The wanting expression belied the words. “I want you to fuck me. Is that what you wanted to hear? I want your cock in me.”

  “You’ve got quite a mouth on you.”

  “Well, then, use that or my ass or something. Snap to, dammit! You said you were going to make me come again, and all I’m getting now is a lot of blah blah blah.”

  Robert threw back his head and laughed. Oh, Galen was going to be a handful. He might be a lot less strident than he was when they met, but he hadn’t lost that streak. God willing, he never did, because that’s what made the two of them a perfect match.

  Robert slid down on the bed and grabbed Galen’s ankles. “Well, you know what they say. If you can’t beat ’em, eat ’em.” With that, he yanked up, exposing Galen’s ass.

  “Wait. What are you—?”

  Whatever Galen was about to ask was cut off as Robert dropped Galen’s legs over his shoulders, leaned in and spread his cheeks, then dove in, nibbling and licking his hole.

  “Robert!” Galen’s hands scrambled for purchase on the bed, clutching the sheet in tight fists. “No, don’t!”

  Robert stilled. He pulled back a bit. “What’s wrong?”

  Galen’s eyes were squeezed shut.

  “Galen? Talk to me. What’s wrong?”

  “No one ever… I didn’t know….”

  Oh. “No one ever rimmed you before?”

  He shook his head.

  “Then you’ve been with some selfish bastards.” Robert blew a puff of air over Galen’s hole. “I can stop i
f you want, but I think you’ll enjoy it. And it’ll relax you before I finally fuck you.”

  Galen lay quietly for a few moments. “Okay.”

  “Hey, look at me.”

  Galen’s eyes opened, and there was fear and doubt there.

  “We don’t have to do this, but you need to know that to me, you’re not just a fuck. You’re an amazing, sweet guy, and I want to share everything with you. But it doesn’t happen if you’re not invested in it too. Did you like it?”

  “Oh God. It… I’ve never felt anything like that. I didn’t know it could be like that.”

  “There are so many things I want with you, Galen. But I don’t want them to scare you. If you prefer, we can try this again later.”

  “No! I don’t want you to stop.” Galen’s grip on the sheets relaxed, and a smile slid into place. “Please, I liked it. Do it some more.”

  Robert didn’t bother to comment. He went right back to work, sliding his tongue deep into the recesses of Galen’s body. He tasted of soap and musk and heat. Peering up, he caught notice of Galen’s cock, standing hard and firm. Good. He really was enjoying this.

  “Are you ready?”

  Galen reached down and spread his cheeks. Robert chuckled and lowered Galen’s legs back to the bed.

  “I’ll take that as a yes. Do we have lube and a condom?”

  “Nightstand.”

  Robert jerked the drawer open, barely keeping it from falling out. He pushed aside the other things until he found the unopened box of condoms and a bottle of lube. He was about to close the drawer when something else caught his eye. He reached in and pulled out a ring that was attached to a length of wire, which ended in a…. Oh damn.

  “Galen, what’s this?”

  When Galen saw what Robert held, Galen’s cheeks flushed. “I use it when I masturbate. It slips over my cock and vibrates as I….”

  “As you what?”

  “Finger myself.”

  Damn. Damn damn damn. Robert wanted to see that one day. Galen, lost in the throes of ecstasy as his toy milked the come from his body.
