Adam’s breathing had become erratic, and he fumbled to undo his belt. Ben pushed his hands away and did it for him, very slowly. Adam’s cock leaked pre-cum by the time Ben freed it, and Ben licked the head clean. Adam moaned and gripped the edges of the couch as Ben sucked and licked him.
Adam’s cock was longer and thicker than Ben had thought, but he took every inch of it, letting the head slide down his throat. Adam’s hand slid into his hair and then massaged his neck. Ben worked his tongue along the underside as he set a steady rhythm. Adam came with a loud cry, and Ben swallowed the thick load. Ben moaned at the taste, imagining how pent up Adam must’ve been. Once Adam was done, Ben drew back and looked at him. Then, he slowly climbed into his lap and kissed him.
Adam’s mouth met his hungrily, and by the time they parted, both men were breathless. And Adam was hard again, his cock jutting up between them. Adam reached up and caressed Ben’s cheek before running his fingers into Ben’s hair again.
“Stay the night. I need you to fuck me,” Adam said.
Ben lightly caressed his fingers down Adam’s chest. “You’ll cook me breakfast in the morning?”
Adam blinked up at him, but then he laughed. “Anything.” He ran both hands over Ben’s ass and then up his back.
Ben inched back and stood. “Lead the way,” he said softly.
Chapter Three
Adam practically dragged Ben to his room, not even bothering with lights most of the way. Ben stumbled a few times, but luckily, he seemed to find Adam’s desperation amusing. Once they were in his bedroom, Adam began stripping. He fumbled with one lamp because he couldn’t wait to see Ben naked. His hands shook a little as he dropped his pants. Ben simply stood there watching him, and Adam found himself worrying Ben would find something lacking. Adam took care of himself, but he spent so much time sitting every day. He sucked in his stomach a little, and Ben laughed, making Adam’s head jerk up.
“Stop that. You’re beautiful,” Ben said as he pulled his black t-shirt over his head. He walked over to Adam slowly, eyeing his now naked body. “And your cock is breathtaking.” He reached out to brush his fingers over it far too briefly. “Can’t wait to ride it later.”
“You switch?” Adam asked.
“Yeah. That okay?”
Adam nodded as he moved closer. “Oh yes. I like both.”
Ben hadn’t taken any more clothes off yet, and he reached over and ran his fingers slowly over Adam’s chest. “I believe you said you need me to fuck you.”
“Yes. I do.”
Ben stepped away and took his glasses off, setting them on the dresser. “Condoms?”
“In the bathroom. But I’m clean, if you don’t want to use them.”
Ben smiled as he toed his shoes off. “So you really don’t seduce strangers every Friday night?”
“No. That’s not me at all. Something drew me to you, though. Maybe deep down I did recognize you.”
Ben chuckled. “Maybe, but not likely. You were pretty stunned when I jerked away and yelled at you.” He ran both hands over Adam’s chest before stepping back again. “I was disappointed. Hurt. I thought you’d been obsessing over me the way I was obsessing over you. That fate had given us a chance to act on it.” He dropped his pants and boxers and stroked himself. “Still a little mad about all that, you know.”
Adam moved closer and drew Ben to him, shivering as their bodies touched. “You gonna give me a hard time about this the rest of our lives?”
Ben arched an eyebrow at him. “I’m gonna need to come in more places than your mouth before we start talking about the rest of our lives.” He squeezed both of Adam’s ass cheeks and then slapped the right one. “I’m clean, too. And I’ve been thinking about filling your ass with my cum all week.”
Ben spun them and pushed Adam onto the bed, pinning him there and kissing him greedily. When they came up for air, he asked, “Lube?”
Adam pointed to the right. “Nightstand.”
Ben moved to retrieve the lube, but he paused and ran his hand up one of the bedposts. “You ever tie anyone to these? They look sturdy.”
Adam gripped his balls to keep from coming, not sure how Ben could show such control, considering he hadn’t come yet tonight. “No, never thought about it.”
Ben smiled at him and nodded to the headboard. “Grip it. And lift that ass for me.”
Adam’s arms shook as he gripped the headboard and spread his legs to steady his stance. Ben got on the bed behind him and then reached down to fondle Adam’s cock and balls.
Ben leaned over and kissed, then bit, Adam’s shoulder. “Your balls are so tight. And your shaft is slick with pre-cum. You’ll probably come as soon as I enter you.”
“Ben, please,” Adam said, panting.
Ben’s fingers teased his crack for a moment before he began applying the lube and working Adam’s hole with his fingers. “Like hearing so you needy. So desperate.” He tossed the bottle aside once he was done, but he kept two fingers deep inside Adam. “What did you think about when you jerked off Monday?”
“Fuck, you talk too much,” Adam said, his brain unable to come out of the haze of sensation.
Ben chuckled, a sound Adam was coming to love. “I am being mean, aren’t I?” He withdrew his fingers and rubbed the head of his cock over Adam’s hole. “You can tell me later.” Ben slid into him slowly, moaning. “Mmmm, you’re tight.” Once he was fully seated, he leaned over Adam’s body and ran his hands up and down Adam’s chest and stomach, always stopping just above his cock.
Adam had expected a heated, quick coupling, but Ben stroked in and out of him slowly, teasingly. Adam’s heart raced as Ben’s lip moved over his neck and back. Ben wrapped his arms around Adam and quickened his thrusts a little, and Adam sighed. “Ben … I’m … gonna come.”
Ben chuckled against the shell of his ear. “Damn right you are.” He reached down and stroked Adam through his orgasm.
Adam cried out as his cum shot from him, and moments later he felt Ben spilling into him. The other man trembled as much as he did, and they rolled to their sides to collapse together. Ben stayed inside him a few more moments, but once he’d pulled out, he rolled Adam to his back.
For just a moment, the intense look of need was there in Ben’s eyes again, but then he seemed to pull back a bit. Adam reached up to caress his face, not wanting the other man to withdraw. He pulled Ben down for a kiss, trying to keep the embrace slow and gentle. When Ben didn’t say anything, Adam said, “Wish I hadn’t bitched about you talking too much. Tell me what you’re thinking.”
Ben smiled and settled beside him, running his fingers over Adam’s chest. “Tell me what you fantasized about Monday.”
Adam shifted to his side. “You stormed back into my office to say something else. And you caught me with my dick in my hand. You came around my desk and climbed into my lap, kissing me and stroking me until I came.”
“If I’d caught you with that dick out, I’d have done more than just jerk you off.” Ben propped on his elbow and gazed down Adam’s body. “It’s still breathtaking even now.”
“Glad you like it,” Adam said, which made them both laugh. Adam drew Ben closer. “I want to spend the whole day with you tomorrow. Anything you want to do.”
“Stay in bed and let the servants feed us.” Ben kissed Adam’s chest and then nibbled on his chin.
“Don’t have any of those.”
Ben blinked at him. “Seriously? This place is huge.”
“Yes, but I only use a few rooms. I really do things for myself. I wasn’t born rich, you know. Yes, I inherited the company from my uncle because he never married and didn’t have children, but my life before starting to work under him was probably very similar to yours. Grew up in a three-bedroom house in the suburbs. Both parents worked to support me and my little brother. My uncle was good to us, so we never had hard times. But I wasn’t rich. I did not grow up in a house like this.”
“So why have it?”
“Inherit
ed it, too. I can’t bring myself to sell it.”
Ben looked around. “Was it this stark when your uncle was alive?”
“Yeah. He wasn’t here much.”
Ben studied his face a moment. “I was just trying to tease you about the servants. I had no idea.”
“Why would you? How many people know intimate details about their bosses?”
“I’m sorry about the lonely prince comment. That was kind of mean. Unfair.”
“It was mean. But I’m very willing to forgive you.”
Ben looked a little uncertain for a moment. “Maybe you shouldn’t be so willing. I can be a real dick at times.”
Adam chuckled softly. “At least you admit it.”
“Yeah, but I shouldn’t need to have someone call me on it all the time.” Ben moved a little closer. “I felt bad about the lonely prince comment because I think maybe you have been lonely. People like me making assumptions can’t help when it comes to meeting people. Making friends even.”
“It can be difficult.” Adam drew him into a long kiss. When they parted, he said, “But I’m not lonely now.” He brushed their lips together again. “And I can’t wait for you to ride me.”
Adam felt Ben’s cock jerk against his leg.
“Still trying to figure out what to make of you,” Ben said as he reached for the lube again. A playful spark came into his eyes. “Kind of fun, actually. Discovering the real you.”
“Fun, huh? Adam stroked himself, amazed that it took so little effort to get hard again after already coming twice. “I’ll agree this is a fun place to start.”
Ben reached around and used his slicked fingers to lube himself, and the sight only made Adam harder. “I get to tie you to the bedposts if I stay tomorrow?”
You can do anything you want, so long as you stay. “Yes,” Adam said softly.
Ben smiled as he straddled Adam and lowered himself onto Adam’s cock. Ben sighed as he took the shaft inside him. “Mmmm. Bet I don’t even need to tie you down to have you at my mercy.” He laughed and winked at Adam.
Adam watched Ben slowly riding him for a moment. “You’re right. You don’t,” he said softly.
Ben lowered himself and took every inch, his expression changing a bit as he closed his eyes and moaned. Adam grasped Ben’s hip with one hand and slowly drew him down for a kiss with the other. Ben opened his eyes again, gasping as their lips met. Adam didn’t let Ben look away as they rode out their pleasure, and once they were both sated, Ben curled himself around Adam and fell asleep half on his chest, their legs tangled together.
****
Ben woke alone, grasping a pillow, in a bed that smelled like sex … and Adam. He opened his eyes and pushed himself up. This room had a cozier feel, something he hadn’t really noticed the night before. The rest of the house had cream or white walls with watercolors and mirrors everywhere, but the bedroom had dark wood paneling. Family photos in smaller frames decorated the walls in asymmetrical groupings. Ben rose to go look at them, shrugging into a robe that had been left on the bed near his feet and then retrieving his glasses. There was one framed photo on Adam’s desk at work, but Ben had never been around the other side of the desk to see what was in it. Most of the pictures here seemed to be of Adam’s parents and brother. There was a man who looked a lot like his father, too, so that had to be his uncle. A few had older relatives who seemed to be grandparents.
His uncle is dead, but what about his parents? Since he doesn’t seem that fond of this house, wouldn’t he let them live here if they were alive?
Ben hoped the subject might come up naturally so he wouldn’t have to ask. He knew very little about Adam’s personal life. In the three years he’d been with the company, he had never seen Adam with a date, which had led him to simply assume the handsome man was straight. Had Adam been trying to keep that part of his life private, or had there just not been anyone special? Adam’s comment about men trying to get into his pants to get to his wallet floated back to Ben. Was that truly the reality for the wealthy man?
“Good morning,” Adam said from the doorway.
Ben turned to look at his handsome boss, who wore a similar robe in a darker color. “Morning.” He strode across the room to meet Adam, but he didn’t get a chance to say anything else.
Adam cupped his face and drew him into a kiss. As the embrace deepened, Adam untied their robes and brought their bodies back together. He grasped both of their cocks in his hand as he drew back to look at Ben. “Thought you might want to shower before breakfast,” Adam said.
“Among other things,” Ben said as he pressed closer.
They made their way into the bathroom, and Adam turned on the shower before they both shed their robes. The water warmed up soon enough, and Ben dragged the other man in with him, pushing him against the wall and sliding two fingers along his crack.
“This okay?” Ben asked.
“Fuck, yes.”
Ben knelt, pleased by the very loud gasp that came from Adam when Ben briefly rimmed him. He then used a little soap to ease his entry, and the scent of sage and lemongrass surrounded them as he fucked Adam up against the shower wall. Ben held Adam close as the billionaire trembled. They came within moments of each other, and Adam craned his neck to kiss Ben just after they did. They both leaned against the wall for a while, panting.
As they cleaned themselves off, Adam kept reaching out to touch and kiss him. Last night had changed everything, and not just because the sex had been so good. The image of the spoiled, distant playboy had faded, and the vulnerable man before him was what Ben was left with. Knowing what to say to the other man suddenly felt ten times harder.
Once they were clean and dry, they made their way down to the kitchen, where Adam refused to allow him to help. Ben sat at the island with a cup of coffee, watching Adam move around the large kitchen.
“I … well, I just assumed because of your last name that you grew up rich. I don’t know as much about the company as I thought I did,” Ben said. “Or about you.”
Adam pulled out plates and silverware. “It’s fine. I’m used to those kinds of assumptions. I guess they bothered me because I felt they were keeping you from forgiving me for last Friday.”
“How many people work for you?”
“Around three hundred, but you are directly under me now. I should’ve recognized you.” He set a place in front of Ben and then one for himself in front of the next stool. “Though I will say I like the glasses. Make you look handsome.”
Ben pushed them up his nose. “Thanks. Sometimes I don’t wear them out to clubs. If the dancing gets too wild, they could get broken. And I can’t drive without them.”
“You do lots of clubbing?” Adam asked as he brought platters of bacon, eggs, and sausage to the table. He added a rack of toast and a dish of butter before he fixed his own cup of coffee and sat down.
“Depends. When I’m single, I usually go out every weekend.”
Adam buttered a slice of toast. “You still consider yourself single after last night?”
Ben helped himself to some eggs and two slices of bacon before he looked over at Adam. “Uh, I’d say we’re involved, but I am not your boyfriend simply because we fucked.”
Adam seemed to consider this as he sipped his coffee. “I feel like we did more than fuck. Last night was nothing like I expected. It started with lust, but I feel like it quickly turned into more.”
Ben thought about denying that but found he couldn’t. “It was intense.”
Adam elbowed him to get his attention. “Look, I’m not going to get weird on you or anything. I’m not going to try to move you in here or start watching you at work, but what you said last night stuck with me. About you challenging me. It’s been impossible to meet anyone since taking over when my uncle got sick. I’m tired of bullshit.”
“Bullshit? As in men bending over backwards so they can sleep here and eat in fancy restaurants and be taken care of?”
“For the most part, yes, but also
just being alone because people don’t even know how to act around me. I’d step down and take a lower position if I wasn’t worried someone else might fuck up what my uncle built. I’m proud of his work and legacy.”
“This won’t work out if it’s built around you being lonely. I don’t mean that to sound harsh, but it’s true. You can’t force that stuff.”
“Asking you to spend time with me and give me a chance isn’t forcing it.”
Ben sighed. “And that’s not what I meant.” He looked down at his untouched food. “Don’t you get that this is a bit weird for me? I basically had a crush on you. Didn’t know if you were straight or gay, kept trying not to think about you. And then there was last Friday and that rollercoaster of emotions. Followed by you sucking me off in your office on Monday.”
“It’s weird for me, too, but I won’t give up unless you say you don’t want to be with me.” Adam pushed his plate away. “You have all the power here. You could cause a lot of trouble for me. What I did on Monday was wrong, even though I don’t regret it.”
“I could’ve stopped you if I’d had any desire to do so. It was complicated, and you really shocked me, but reporting you or whatever would be a shitty thing for me to do.”
Adam touched his hand. “But those are the kinds of men I’ve been dealing with for a long time now. Men who would use that moment as leverage. Yes, I’m lonely. Terribly lonely. But just the sight of you has my body reacting. And even when we’re bickering, at least it feels real.”
“Were you this intense before you became a billionaire?” Ben asked, at a loss for anything else to say.
Adam gave him a faint smile. “Yes. I was still closeted. Didn’t come out completely until my uncle got sick. Losing him made me realize how every day is a gift. I was always so worried what my parents would think.” He paused, looking across the room a moment. “Intense has always been a good word for me. I’m always trying to prove myself one way or another. Seeking validation and approval. I worked so hard for my uncle because he believed in me and wanted to mentor me in ways my dad never did.” He shrugged, casting his gaze down.
