Ricky blinked up at him. “You don’t want this?”
“I’d have to be insane not to. I just want you to take your cock out. I want to watch you stroke off as you suck me.”
“Oh, I like that plan.”
Ricky jerked his own pants down and took out his long, thick cock. Rubbing his thumb over the head, he collected up some pre-cum and slowly pumped his fist up and down. Letting out a soft sob, his lids fluttered shut, his dark lashes fanning his pale cheeks, oh-so-perfectly.
“You’re so fucking beautiful,” Tanner breathed, his heart thundering at the erotic picture Ricky made.
Ricky grinned up, before leaning down and running his tongue up the underside of Tanner’s cock. Tanner jerked, his hands fisting into the thick comforter. “Yeah, just like that.”
Swirling his tongue along the head of Tanner’s cock, Ricky then parted his lips and took in all of Tanner’s length. At the same time, Ricky continued to stroke himself off, per Tanner’s order.
“That’s it, take me deep,” Tanner urged, not caring that he was being more vocal than a low-budget phone sex operator.
It seemed to work because Ricky sucked Tanner in so deep, the tip of his cock bumped into the back of Ricky’s throat. At the same time, he used his free hand to squeeze Tanner’s balls, his fingers working a magic all of their own.
Ricky set up a slow steady rhythm, which spoke miles about his natural ability, given that he was essentially doing three tasks at once. Tanner made a mental note to ask Ricky how in the hell he managed it, but not until later. Right now, he didn’t want to stop the action for anything.
A muffled groan let Tanner know Ricky was enjoying the moment just as much. Going up on his elbows so he could have a better view, Tanner growled at the erotic sight of Ricky. His lips were stretched thin around Tanner’s shaft, while Ricky’s other hand was working his own cock, perfectly. The wet tip thrusting in and out of the top of his fist. Then Ricky glanced up, his lust-infused eyes seeming to sear into Tanner and that made things too much to take.
Throwing his head back, Tanner shouted as he came, his cock filling Ricky’s hot mouth. Ricky let out a whimper before his smaller body shuddered so hard it shook the entire bed. Not wanting to miss that reaction, Tanner glanced back down just in time to see Ricky shooting off into his hand.
Ricky looked down at the mess and a cute little blush deepening the flush already placed there by their shared passion. “Oops, I better go take care of that.”
Tanner snagged Ricky by the wrist and pulled him up. Licking most of the cum clean, Tanner then captured Ricky in a hard kiss, moaning at the taste of their combined flavors.
Pulling back, Ricky grinned down at him. “Does that mean I did a good job?”
Tanner laughed. “It was the best I’ve ever gotten. Now go get cleaned up, so we can get some sleep.”
“Okay, but if you snore, I’m kicking you to the couch.” The satisfied gleam in Ricky’s eyes said that was an empty threat. Tanner knew he wouldn’t be going anywhere soon, and that pleased him just fine.
Chapter Six
Tanner woke up to the sounds of somebody clearing their throat. Opening his eyes, he came to two conclusions— one, Ricky was still asleep, his body wrapped around Tanner, second some strange woman was staring down at them.
Even though she appeared to be in her forties, she look so much like Carla, that Tanner had no problem figuring out who she was. “Hello, Mrs. Parker.”
He subtly tried to subtly nudge Ricky. Being the little brat that he was, Ricky just snuggled in deep and continued to sleep. Even worse, his hand somehow landed on Tanner’s cock. While they were both dressed, it still wasn’t a position Tanner wanted to be in when he first met his boyfriend’s mother.
“You must be Tanner,” she replied, arching a brow.
“Yeah, how did you know?”
Again, Tanner tried to nudge Ricky. Again, Ricky just nuzzled in more. He even let out a happy sigh.
“Going by the way Ricky always talks about you, I knew it was only a matter of time before he brought you home.” She smiled, her eyes lighting up just the way Ricky’s did when he found something humorous. “By the way, call me Tansy.”
Ricky finally stirred. “Mom, is that you?”
“No, it’s the strange neighbor lady who keeps trying to peek into your bedroom window.” She glanced at Tanner. “By the way, that’s not a joke. She really does that. That damn cougar is always trying to get her claws in Ricky. So, maybe if you two make out in the front yard, we could finally nip that problem in the bud.”
Sitting up, Ricky laughed. “I don’t know if even that would work. Just the other morning, she walked out to get her paper in nothing but a towel and twenty pounds of mascara.”
“Let me guess, you just happened to be getting out of the car at the time. That woman is such a stalker,” Tansy wrinkled her nose in disgust.
After saying that, she went over and smacked Ricky in the back of the head. “And that’s for not taking care of yourself better.”
“Ouch!” Ricky rubbed the spot, a guilty look crossing his face. “Who ratted me out?”
“I got a text from Ben last night and caught the first flight out.”
“He’s such a tattletale,” Ricky groused. “Besides, you didn’t have to worry. Tanner has been taking care of me.”
She let out an almost juvenile sounding snicker. “I’ll just bet he has.”
Tanner turned to Ricky. “Your mother is just as crazy as the rest of your family.”
“Who do you think we got it from?”
Tansy ruffled Ricky’s hair. “Come on out to the kitchen. I brought some late lunch home. We can eat while I get to learn all of your man’s deep, dark secrets.”
After she walked out, Ricky leaned over and said in a loud stage whisper, “If we sneak out of the back, we could make a run for it.”
“Don’t even think about it,” Tansy sang from the other room.
They laughed, then got out of bed, joining her at the table.
Thankfully, she only made light conversation and didn’t give him the third degree. Once they were done, she made Ricky test his blood sugar, giving a satisfied nod when it was finally in the normal range.
“I guess we’ll have to keep Tanner then,” she declared as she got up and started to clear the table.
When Tanner and Ricky moved to help her, she shooed them away. “You boys go ahead and get out of here. I can finish this.”
“Are you sure?” Tanner pressed, not wanting to come across as a slob or something.
“Just promise me you’ll stay with him for at least a couple more hours to make sure his blood sugar stays level.”
Tanner didn’t have a problem following that order at all. “You got it. I don’t work tonight so I won’t have anything pressing my time.”
“It’s Ricky’s night off, too. So you guys have all night to—”
“Thanks, Mom. But we have to go,” Ricky broke in.
He grabbed Tanner’s hand and rushed them out of there, only pausing long enough for them to get their backpacks. Once outside, Ricky said, “I didn’t mean to come off as rude, but I knew just where she was going with that comment and it would have ended up embarrassing both of us.”
Tanner laughed as he followed Ricky. Instead of the van, Ricky led him to a small compact car that had a little rainbow bumper sticker on the rear bumper.
“This is what I normally drive. I was just using Mom’s van so I could lug all the kids around,” Ricky explained as they got in. Once he started up the engine, he asked, “Do you want me to swing you by the hospital so we can pick up your car?”
Tanner leaned in and gave Ricky a searing kiss. “No, if it’s okay with you, I want to go directly to your apartment.”
“Why, Tanner, are you propositioning me?” Ricky asked, blinking his eyes in mock surprise.
“You bet your cute ass I am. Now let’s get going. I’ve waited for nearly a year to fuck you and I don’t thi
nk I can hold out much longer.”
“Then we better get going before we do much more than just kiss in front of the horny neighbor lady.”
Ricky pulled out on the road. The ride to his place was short, so Tanner didn’t have much time to wait in anticipation before they arrived at a small apartment complex.
They raced up the stairs to the second floor, Ricky once again holding Tanner’s hand and leading the way. The apartment itself was pretty small and painted the standard issue beige color. Numerous boxes were scattered throughout, showing that neither Ricky nor Ben were fast unpackers. Ben was at the kitchen table, working on his computer. He glanced up with a knowing smile.
“Hi, Ben. Bye, Ben,” Ricky called as they raced by.
Ben’s soft laugher followed them as Ricky led Tanner to one of the bedrooms, then closed the door. More boxes were surrounding the bed, but at least the mattress seemed functional. Deciding to give it a test run, Tanner put a hand in the center of Ricky’s chest and gave a gentle shove. Ricky fell back, bouncing once before he stopped and gazed up at Tanner with a hunger gaze.
Not saying a word, Tanner began to pull off his clothing, tossing them carelessly to the side. Once he was naked, he gave Ricky a pointed look.
“Are you going to lose the clothes?”
Ricky gave a crooked smile. “I don’t know. I kind of like just sitting here. The view is really nice. The apartment manager hadn’t been lying when he said that was one of this buildings’ best features.”
“Okay, how about this…take off the clothes yourself before I take matters into my own hands and tear them off your body.”
With an overly dramatic gasp, Ricky grasped the front of his shirt. “You wouldn’t dare rip Pac-Man.”
Tanner growled playfully and Ricky let out a yelp before he hastily stripped. Once he had every inch of the man’s glorious body bared to him, Tanner crawled up on the bed and stalked Ricky, forcing him to scoot back until his messed up hair almost touched the headboard.
Pausing, a distressing thought occurred to Tanner. “Please, tell me you don’t have the lube packed away in one of these boxes.”
Ricky just shook his head before pointing to the nightstand. It amused Tanner to see the usually chatty Ricky mute for once. Tanner reached over and grabbed a condom and what appeared to be a never been used bottle of lube.
Getting back into position, he dipped his head down to kiss Ricky. His man tasted so good that Tanner could have kissed him all night. In fact, that’s just what he planned on doing once they finally got the relief that was so long in coming.
Tanner pulled back and sloshed some of the slick on his finger, before he began to nibble on the side of Ricky’s throat.
“That’s so nice,” Ricky sighed as he tangled his fingers in Tanner’s hair.
Liking that Ricky finally found his voice again, Tanner decided to do everything he could think of to make the man get even more vocal. Still nuzzling Ricky’s neck, Tanner sucked in a piece of skin. At the same time, he slowly thrust one finger in Ricky’s tight hole.
Ricky let out a loud yelp, his body arching up. “Oh, yeah! Stick more in me.”
Tanner ignored the order, not giving him more until he was sure Ricky’s body was ready for it. That still didn’t stop Ricky from yelling the order a few more times. Giving Ricky another love bite, Tanner thrust in a second finger, curling them so they pegged Ricky’s prostate.
“That’s the spot. Gotta love fucking a nurse. They know a guy’s anatomy inside out,” Ricky cried so loud, they probably heard him all the way back at the hospital.
Tanner couldn’t help but chuckle at that statement. Since he was dying to know what Ricky would say next, Tanner added a third finger, this time sinking his teeth into Ricky’s neck hard enough to leave a slight indentation.
“And, we have a biter, here! Lady Gaga would be so proud of you. Show me those teeth!”
This time, Tanner let out a full-laugh. Tapping Ricky on the ass, he said, “Get on your knees and grab onto the headboard.”
Ricky moved so fast to obey, that he almost knocked Tanner off the bed. His bout of clumsiness was worth it, though, because once he was in position, he looked so hot that Tanner almost came on the spot.
Ricky’s ass was tilted up just slightly, while his back was arched perfectly. A fined sheen of sweat covered his body, making it seem to glisten under the dim light and his eyes were glazed over with passion. Tanner could barely look away long enough to slide the condom on. Thanks to sheer determination, he finally managed the task. Getting behind Ricky, Tanner ran a palm down the man’s spine, reveling in the shiver he got in response.
“Please, Tanner. Fuck me hard.”
Tanner hummed his agreement before he lined his cock up to Ricky’s hole and slowly thrust in. Or at least he tried to take it slow, true. True to form, Ricky had to have the last word. With a grunt, he thrust back, fully impaling himself on Tanner’s cock.
They both moaned in unison, before Tanner took back control. Giving Ricky’s ass a not-so-gentle slap, he said, “This is my turn to take care of things, so stop being so bossy for once.”
“Yes. Okay. Sure. Whatever, just start fucking me…please.”
Since Ricky asked so prettily, who was Tanner to refuse? Using one hand to grip Ricky’s hip, Tanner fisted the other in his lover’s hair. He then gave Ricky the fucking he’d been begging for.
“Yes, like that! Do me hard!” Ricky yelled, his fingers gripping the headboard so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
There was no way that Ben and the rest of the apartment complex couldn’t hear Ricky’s cries of passion, but Tanner kept it up. If anything he moved faster, in hopes of getting even more noise out of his man.
Sweat built up on their bodies, making them slick, so Tanner tightened his grip, his nails digging into Ricky’s flesh. That only seemed to turn Ricky on more and soon he was thrusting back so hard, that he almost knocked Tanner off the end of the mattress.
“Gonna come! Gonna come!” Ricky threw back his head, a loud moan ripping from his chest.
“Do it. Let me really hear you scream,” Tanner urged.
Maybe the line was a bit cheesy and Porn 101, but it worked. Ricky jerked once, before he came, untouched, his body trembling. His ass clenched around Tanner. That was enough to send Tanner spiraling into his own orgasm. He shouted out Ricky’s name, his cock filling the condom.
They froze in place, both of them taking heaving breaths. Tanner finally dropped his head so it rested against the back of Ricky’s shoulder. A bit of sweat clung to the man’s skin and Tanner couldn’t resist the urge to lick it.
“Okay, we are so doing that again. I just need like five minutes to recover,” Ricky finally panted.
Tanner pressed a kiss to the Ricky’s skin. “Oh, I plan on us doing it plenty of times. You have no idea of what kinds of things I want to do to you.”
Ricky gave a breathy chuckle. “I guess it’s a good thing that both of us have the day off tomorrow. At least we can get a good start on your list.”
A good start. Tanner found himself really liking that idea.
Chapter Seven
Ricky put some supplies on the shelf in the back of radiology room, wincing when the movement caused pain to certain parts of his body. He and Tanner had spent most of the day having sex and Ricky wasn’t used to so much physical activity.
Not that Ricky was complaining. Far from it. The past couple of days had been the best time of his life and it was all he could do to keep the giddy grin off his face. Something he knew he failed at when Cybil, his co-worker, let out a snort.
“Will you stop looking so damn happy? There are some of us who are still miserable and single,” she groused good-naturedly.
A plump, middle-aged, single mother, she was Ricky’s favorite tech to work with. Not only was she sweet and funny as hell, but she always brought in home-baked, sugar-free, chocolate chip cookies.
Ricky laughed. “Sorry, I’ll try my best to
look grouchy for the rest of the shift.”
“Thank you. All the sugar, sweet happiness rolling off you is beginning to make my teeth rot. I sure as hell can’t afford the dental bill either.”
“That would be tragic. Then you wouldn’t have enough money for your steamy novels.”
“And then you wouldn’t be able to pretend that you don’t read that kind of thing, even as you continue to borrow every one of my books,” she shot back.
The Trauma One alarm sounded over the hospital loudspeaker, interrupting their conversation. Ricky rushed immediately to the ER. Since his radiology department was a part of the trauma team, he knew he’d be expected to show up within in minutes of the call coming out.
He walked in to find the large room already filled with other members of the team. Tanner was there and he flashed Ricky a warm smile. Ricky gave him a small wave, before going over to the portable X-Ray machine.
The team barely had time to get everything prepared before the paramedics came rushing in with the patient. Even before they’d transferred the young man from the cot to the hospital bed, Ricky could tell they would be fighting a losing battle. Going by the blood-drenched paper sheet, the patient had lost a lot of fluid. In addition, the portable cardiac monitor showed a flat-line, which meant there was no heart activity at all.
They still worked the code, the team members rushing around as they did their various jobs. Ricky tried his best to stay out the way, until they called on him to take an X-Ray. Something that wouldn’t be needed if they didn’t get the patient’s pulse back.
Tanner was giving chest compressions, sweat running down his face and arms, as his muscles flexed. Since Ricky didn’t have a task at the moment, he grew distracted and made the mistake of looking in the patient’s face.
His stomach ached as he noted how the kid couldn’t be more than twenty. While his body and head were covered with blood and lacerations, Ricky could still make out most of the patient’s youthful and innocent features.
Patrick, the doctor running the code, finally said, “Let’s call this, gang. There’s nothing else we can do for him.”
