A Midnight Thanksgiving (Gay Romance)

by Trina Solet

  *

  Until tonight, lying in Vaughn's bed, Alex had never felt so wanted. It was like Vaughn couldn't get enough of him. His desire was a tangible force that slammed into him with every kiss and caress.

  His voice was husky as he made crazy promises that echoed in Alex's heart. Vaughn's roaming hands hot on his body, mapped it like Alex was his territory now. As Vaughn groped him, Alex melted into his touch and mussed his hair. The lust in Vaughn's gaze burned him up.

  Each kiss and lick moved lower, teasing him along the way. As his heart beat faster and louder, Alex shuddered and called his name. With Vaughn's mouth right over his aching, rock hard cock, Alex was begging, "Please, Vaughn."

  But when it seemed like Vaughn was ready to go to it, he had to stop him. With his hand resting on his chest, Alex restrained him then pushed him off.

  "My turn," Alex gasped and sat up so he could get his hands on Vaughn.

  Roughly, he removed his remaining clothes, throwing them where his own were strewn all over the floor. That didn't take long. Vaughn was stripped and his room a mess. It looked nothing like the room Alex walked into.

  Now Vaughn's muscles were bare and firm under his groping hands. Vaughn had an amazing body, lean with the kind of definition that made Alex want to lick him everywhere, but he started by kissing his handsome face.

  Brushing his lips over the blond stubble on his chin and around his mouth, Alex teased him. The tip of his tongue darted out and sneaked in between his parted lips before he dived in for a kiss. His mouth then traveled down over Vaughn's impressive chest while his fingertips traced the line of fine hair that trailed from his navel down to his cock.

  Any minute now, his mouth would follow that same line. Seeing where he was heading, Vaughn stopped him. "No, you don't." His fingers threading through his hair, he pulled Alex up for a kiss. "You had your fun. It's my turn now," Vaughn told him and pushed him back on the bed.

  Alex grabbed Vaughn's pillow and folded it up behind his head so he could lean back and watch what he was doing. First Vaughn ran his hands up and down his thighs as Alex made room for Vaughn to kneel between his legs. Vaughn leaned over his cock and took hold of his balls with a gentle, rolling motion.

  The tip of his tongue stroked up the shaft then swirled the head of his cock slowly. Vaughn was in no rush. Writhing and digging his heels into the mattress, Alex got ready to suffer.

  Fingers of one hand pressing down into Alex's thigh, Vaughn let his mouth play over his cock but never took him inside. His deliberate, loving touch covered every hard inch. Alex moaned non-stop. Giving him a taste of heaven then pulling back, Vaughn had him shuddering uncontrollably.

  Only when he had him falling apart at the seams did Vaughn get serious. He braced himself by taking Alex's ass in a firm grip. Then Vaughn looked up at him while his mouth pushed down on his cock. It was too much. Alex was pulled under, overwhelmed by the feeling of tight, wet heat around his cock.

  Vaughn's hot mouth took possession of him, made him lose himself, but Alex still knew one thing. He needed his own lips and tongue to slide over the length of Vaughn's cock. More than ever, he needed to taste him. But stopping him was like fighting his way out of a dream. At first Alex only called his name then pushed Vaughn off him.

  Vaughn panted and glared at him. "That was just getting good. Why did you interrupt me?" he growled at Alex.

  "Maybe I like to torture you," Alex teased him.

  Vaughn pinned him to the bed and leaned over him all sexy menace and lust. "Behave or pay the price."

  "Scary," Alex purred and rolled his head back, exposing his throat for Vaughn's kiss. He felt teeth, lips and tongue. "OK. I repent. I surrender. I'm all yours."

  "Good," Vaughn said then leaned in slowly for a lingering kiss that made Alex's heart pound and his whole body tingle. When Vaughn let him up, Alex forgot all about letting him have his way. He turned over on the bed so he and Vaughn were head to toe. He wanted them to sixty-nine.

  "You should have waited your turn," Vaughn admonished him.

  "Punish me later," Alex told him and slid his hand over his cock while letting his tongue play over his balls.

  "Fuck, Alex," Vaughn cried out then he moaned around the head of Alex's cock.

  Alex loved what he was doing to him, but he also loved the feeling of Vaughn's cock sliding between his lips. Silken skin and underneath it steely hardness filled his mouth. Alex swallowed him down until he hit the back of his throat. His mouth tight around Vaughn's beautiful cock, Alex sucked to the sound of his moans.

  The rhythm matched what Vaughn did to him, but soon Alex lost all conscious control over what he was doing. Instinct took over and Alex gave himself up to it.

  Racing to the finish, Alex hummed around his cock and hooked an arm around his thigh. With Vaughn sucking him so hard and fast, Alex couldn't hang on much longer. He didn't know if he was flying or falling because he was just going right out of his mind.

  Then Vaughn was coming, filling his mouth as pleasure burst inside him. Vaughn's mouth on his cock faltered, and Alex pumped his hips uncontrollably. Thrusting into Vaughn's mouth while swallowing his come was pure ecstasy. A surge of white-hot orgasm roared through him and his come spilled down Vaughn's throat.

  Breathing hard, Vaughn joined him upside down on his bed and kissed him. Their tastes mingled. They sat up and then turned over so they were right side up. Finding his pillow had been kicked to the floor, Vaughn grabbed it and tucked it under both their heads as they lay facing each other.

  Two guys, one pillow, one narrow bed – Alex couldn't believe he felt so comfortable there. But it was where he belonged. Everything about Vaughn told him as much. Love in his eyes and tenderness in the way he held him, Vaughn was like a new man. Or maybe he only seemed that way because Alex hadn't really know him.

  "I think I might have misjudged you," he said.

  "Me too," Vaughn told him.

  "Now that I know how wonderful you are, I'm never letting you get away," Alex vowed.

  "You're sure I won't turn into your next bad ex?" Vaughn asked him.

  "Never." Alex was absolutely sure of that.

  "Even with all my faults?" Vaughn prompted him.

  "What faults? I don't know what you're talking about. Who's been saying you have faults? If anyone talks shit about you, you just point him out and I'll kick his ass," Alex told him.

  "It's a deal," Vaughn said with a smile.

  "I mean it. I'll stick up for you no matter what," Alex said and sealed his promise with a lingering kiss.

  Ready to go to sleep, Vaughn reached over for his lamp, turned it off and plunged them into darkness. Alex sighed against him while Vaughn rubbed the back of his head.

  Legs twining, arms around each other, they settled in. With his head resting on Vaughn's chest, Alex wrapped his arms around him possessively. "Your heart has the best sound," he said as he closed his eyes.

  "It's all for you," Vaughn told him like he was giving him ownership of his heart.

  Satisfied, lying in Vaughn's bed and in his arms, Alex didn't want to give up this moment. It was too good. He wanted to live out this moment in time forever. No dream could be better than this. He was blissfully happy, lingering on the surface of sleep until he was pulled under.

  As he drifted off unwillingly, the last thing he heard was Vaughn telling him, "I think I might love you." It was only a shy whisper, but Alex fell asleep to the sound of it like it was a lullaby.
