Book of Love

  "I don't know what to do," Matt admitted as he looked back at Alfie. Said man smiled and spread his legs a bit wider.

  "I'll guide you," Alfie said as he brought Matt's hand closer before gently arranging Matt's hand to press a single digit against his hole. With Alfie's help, Matt's finger circled around the puckered entrance. Matt could only stare transfixed as his finger slowly slipped inside. Alfie moaned as he pushed Matt's finger in deeper. Alfie moved his hand away to heave himself onto his hands so he could stare at Matt and his hand moving back and forth as Matt gained confidence.

  "C-curl your f-fu-finger," Alfie moaned as Matt gained momentum with both hands. A startled whine left Alfie's mouth as his back arched to the point of breaking. Matt felt a small bump and pressed it gently. He watched Alfie's reaction with wide eyes. The man had gone from a man who made his heart flutter with his adorable smile to a man who was everything he ever wanted in his sexual fantasies. Alfie curved and twisted as Matt rubbed over the bump which he guessed was Alfie's prostate.

  "Another… finger… please," Alfie whined as his arms lost their strength, and he flopped back to the bed. Doing as he was asked, he pulled his finger out to place two back and gently pushed the two fingers in an inch before pulling back half an inch before going back. Soon, Matt had three fingers stimulating Alfie while his other hand gripped and squeezed Alfie's cock. Alfie had been reduced to moans and gasps with groans of Matt's name. In no time at all, Alfie was cumming with a silent yell and another near back-breaking arch.

  The sight of Alfie cumming was breathtaking to Matt as he watched without breathing.

  With only Alfie's labored breathing as sound, Matt suddenly remembered that he too had a cock. It was painfully hard and a deep purple in his underwear.

  Alfie came back to himself to look down at the large tent in Matt's underwear. Without saying a word, he sat up and moved until he was between Matt's thighs again. However, this time his face was to Matt's crotch.

  "I won't last long," Matt said, trying to keep his breathing calm, but he had a gorgeous man between his legs, looking at his cloth-covered dick as if it was his birthday.

  A hum of understanding was all Matt got back. His underwear was yanked down until they were under his balls. All the warning Matt got was a deep breath before his dick was graced with a long lick from balls to tip. Matt released a deep groan and allowed his hand to sink into Alfie’s hair. Alfie didn't hesitate to take Matt's cock into his mouth with a harsh suck that had Matt's toes curling. His breath became labored quickly as Alfie started to bob his head, taking more and more of the shaft. The head of his cock reached the back of Alfie's throat before something amazing, in Matt's opinion, happened. He went even deeper down Alfie's throat.

  Matt started to tug on Alfie’s hair to get him to back off as he felt his release speeding upon him like a freight truck. But, Alfie merely moaned and sucked even harder.

  Feeling the coil in his belly tighten to the point of it snapping, Matt tried one more time. "I-I'm gonna cum…" Matt panted as he tugged on Alfie's hair. It didn't matter as Alfie looked up and swallowed once.

  It was all it took for Matt to blow his load. With a yell of Alfie's name he shot his hot load into Alfie’s mouth and down his throat. Alife backed off a little and swallowed all he was given. However, it was too much, and a small dribble of cum flowed down his chin.

  Alfie licked Matt clean before using a thumb to wipe the line of cum off his chin and sucked his thumb into his mouth while keeping eye contact with Matt. A low groan was all Matt had the energy to do.

  With a smile and head tilt, Alfie tugged Matt down to lie on the bed, the covers coming quickly behind them, but a few minutes into lying with Alfie in his arms ended when Alfie suddenly bolted up and slipped his underwear on and sprinted down the stairs.

  Matt listened as Alfie came back to veered to his room and back to his with Sam cuddled in his arms.

  "I forgot to activate the alarm and well… Sam," Alfie said as a way of explaining. Matt just smiled as he lifted the covers and allowed Alfie to slot his back to his chest with Sam snuggling to his.

  It was the best night's sleep he had ever had.

  Chapter Seven

  The morning after was a Sunday, which was the only day they were closed. So there were no blaring alarms and a need to get out of bed. Alfie felt the warmth behind him. Matt's warm and heavy arms were around him, holding him close. Alfie smiled to himself as he fluttered his eyelids open to see Sam still fast asleep.

  Feeling utterly content, Alfie snuggled back into Matt's warm chest. He heard a low growly groan behind him and felt the arms around him squeeze him before the top arm rose and moved his hair away from his neck. He shivered when he felt Matt's lips against his neck and smiled even more.

  "Good morning," Matt whispered against the back of his neck. Alfie couldn't stop the second shiver from traveling down his back.

  Alfie gently turned around without disturbing Sam. Matt just eased his hold for Alfie to roll around and face him. They both smiled at each other before they both moved forward together to seal their lips in a soft, innocent kiss.

  They lounged in bed for an hour before Sam woke up and decided he wanted to play. He wiggled himself between the two men and did what he always did when he wanted to play—flopped onto his back, and wiggled and lolled his tongue out. It worked like it always did and the two men spent a few minutes playing with the puppy before he jumped off the bed and ran into Alfie's room to play with his toys there, the squeaking of the chew toy evident enough of that.

  Matt and Alfie laughed at the silly puppy. Matt soon remembered the night before and slowly ran his hand over Alfie's side, light enough that Matt knew it would have the desired effect. Alfie gave a startled snort just before Alfie burst out laughing, squirming to try and get away. However, Matt was relentless as he swung a leg over Alfie's hip, forcing him to lie on his back, revealing the other side for tickling.

  "No, no, s-s-top!" Alfie managed to get out of his pearls of laughter. Matt eventually let up and just stroked the heaving sides as Alfie wiped away the tears on his face. The man smiled up at him. Matt suddenly didn't care about morning breath and swooped down to kiss Alfie. The kiss turned heated as Matt readjusted his position to lie entirely on Alfie. Those lovely hands he loved moved from his chest up to his shoulder and then down his back where nails dug into his skin when he slid down from lips to the neck and sucked a dark mark.

  The moment was ruined when Matt's phone rang. Looking up at the thing to see, it was his mother. He looked down at Alfie to give an apologetic smile. Alfie just tilted his head.

  Reaching over, Matt grabbed the phone and answered it. "Hey, Mom." Alfie smiled when he realized that Matt couldn't really ignore his mother.

  Alfie watched as Matt listened to his mother before hazel eyes dropped to his face. "My mom wants to know if she can come over." Alfie's smile grew. "Of course, tell her to come over for brunch."

  Matt gave him a soft smile before he finished the call with his mother. Chucking the phone to the side, Matt showed his appreciation by attacking Alfie's neck with kisses. He moved his way up and savored the deep kiss that left them both breathless.

  Sam came running into the room, carrying his food bowl. It clanking to the floor made both men look at the pooch and chuckle. They got out of the bed. Alfie made a quick detour to the kitchen to feed Sam and made his way back to Matt who was sitting on the bed, going through his phone.

  They showered together. Matt helped Alfie by washing his hair and back. Alfie helped by washing his back for him in return. They finished their morning routines before placing Sam in his crate with a bowl of water and all his toys and pillow before grabbing their wallets and keys.

  Walking down the street to the store to grab some brunch items, Matt grabbed Alfie's hand and tugged him closer. Alfie smiled up at him as he leaned his head onto his shoulder for a few seconds.

  "Thank you for giving me a chance," Matt said as he looked down at Alfie.<

  Being tugged into stopping, Matt turned around to see Alfie look up at his seriously.

  "Matt, I will only say this once, so please listen carefully. You did nothing wrong, as my father said, what were you supposed to do? We were still kids ourselves when it all happened, and we came out better for it. The only reason I wanted some time to think was to make sure that being together is something we both wanted," Alfie said as he tugged Matt closer to give him a hug.

  Matt swallowed the lump down his throat and squeezed the air out of Alfie.

  They walked to the store, side by side, arms wrapped around each other. It was just then that a man coming their way started to look familiar. Edward noticed them first and waved with a smile. He got closer and saw their position and put two and two together before his face lit up. "You finally decided to get together?" he asked with a smirk as Alfie's face blushed a pretty pink.

  "We all saw it coming by the way," Edward said as he looked at the two. Alfie tilted his head and made an inquisitive noise. Edward chuckled, and his smile softened. "You two never saw how you looked at each other, but we all did, even the regulars have even started to notice." Alfie's cheeks turned a deep red.

  Edward looked down at his watch to check the time. "Well, I have to get to the doctor, Megan is waiting for me."

  A look of concern made itself home on Alfie's face. "Is everything all right?" Alfie asked, but Edward just smiled. "Nothing is wrong. We’re just going to the doctor to confirm something, but I have to go now, or I'll be late," Edward waved as he passed them.

  Matt watched as Alfie looked behind them. Tugging Alfie along, they continued their walk to the store. They got some fruit, eggs, bacon and some fancy bread to make French toast. They also got some coffee and juice before they paid and made the trip home.

  Once there, they started on brunch. They chopped the fruit, got the egg batter ready. The bacon was cooked, and the table set. The coffee was brewing by the time Matt's mother messaged him that she was at the bookstore's entrance.

  While Matt went down to open for his mother, Alfie finished the French toast and plated and brought it to the table.

  Once the last plate was placed, the door opened. Daphne walked in talking about his courses. Daphne smiled when she saw Alfie. She walked around the table to hug him. Alfie hugged her back tightly.

  Releasing Alfie, Daphne looked at both men and saw that they clearly had something to say.

  "What is it?" she asked, looking between them. Matt smiled and walked up behind Alfie and embraced him from behind.

  Looking between the two, Daphne quickly caught on and gasp as a smile so big it lightened her entire being. She walked up to them and hugged them both.

  "I'm so happy for you two."

  The brunch went down great, and they moved to the living room. They all sat down and drank their coffee while they chatted about this and that. Alfie's phone rang, and he answered it without really thinking it through and was stuck taking a business call. He sighed and rubbed his face before he rose from his seat and mouthed an apology.

  Matt and his mom watched as Alfie went down the stairs, all the while listening to whatever the person was telling him.

  "Something wrong?" Daphne asked, looking a little worried but eased when Matt waved her concern away. "It's the weekly check-in call. Alfie's dad calls him, and they go through the business' numbers and so on. It usually lasts an hour or so as they do have accountants who handle the balk of the finances. It’s just them throwing ideas at each other and some talk," Matt explained to his mother, and she nodded.

  "It sounds like this place makes good money then," she commented but frowned when Matt looked a bit sheepish.

  "Well, you see Mom, Alfie is an heir to a very wealthy family. Have you ever heard of the Xavier family?" Matt watched as his mom's eyes went wide.

  "Wow, that explains why he was okay with paying you a little too much."

  Matt smiled. "Actually, the store does get bustling on some days that thinking of everything Alfie had to do. It would make sense that he needed a helping hand."

  They heard Alfie come up the stairs and turned to see he wasn't on the phone, but he had a smile on his face.

  "I now know what Edward and Megan went to the doctor for." Alfie looked ecstatic. Matt looked on curious. "The Xavier family will have another plus one. Matt smiled wide as the implication hit him. "They're having a baby." Alfie just smiled and nodded.

  Alfie sighed before he remembered the other thing was to tell.

  "My father invited us for dinner tonight. You are more than welcome to join Ms. Daphne." Daphne smiled at Alfie.

  "I would like that very much, thank you."

  Alfie gave a happy grin and texted someone, most likely his dad, to say that she would be joining. They chatted for another hour before Daphne said that she would be back later when they would travel to Alfie's childhood home for dinner.

  Matt took his mother downstairs and kissed her cheek in greeting. When he walked up the stairs, he saw Alfie on the couch, leaning against the armrest looking down at Sam as he tried to catch the toy Alfie was dangling above him. With a smile on his face, he looked so tranquil and happy.

  It hit Matt again just how much Alfie meant to him. In the short amount of time they have spent time together, it didn't matter to Matt. He would try his hardest and give his everything to make sure that Alfie was happy because just seeing that smile made his heart swell.

  Alfie looked up when he closed the door and smiled at him.

  Matt smiled back and moved to the couch and right beside Alfie, who had dropped the toy. Sam then continued to whip the toy wildly back and forth, letting it go and sending it flying only to pounce on the toy just to start the cycle again.

  Alfie and Matt didn't notice as they were staring at each other. Matt ran the back of his fingers over Alfie's face. Alfie looked into Matt's eyes, waiting for him to say what was on his mind.

  "You really are so beautiful, you know," Matt said as he brushed a lock of hair behind an ear. Alfie blushed and looked down shyly.

  "Come on, someone had to have said that to you at some point," Matt asked with a smirk, he watched as Alfie shrugged.

  "I have been told that, yes, but not by anyone who really mattered to me. Well, besides my parents. But, well, you mean something to me. I really do like you and even just spending these few months with you have been all I needed to know that we have a real future. I want that with you. So, when you tell me I’m beautiful, I feel like my heart might burst out of my chest from swelling so much," Alfie said as he scooted closer.

  Matt pulled Alfie closer, and they cuddled on the couch.

  "I feel the same way when you smile at me. I want to kiss and hold you when you tilt your head. I want to tickle you into tears when you're being unnecessarily stubborn. These last few months have been the best of my life, and I have only you to thank for that."

  The answer to his statement was Alfie throwing his leg over Matt's legs to straddle him, hands grasped both sides of his face. He looked into those green eyes he hoped to wake up next to for the rest of his life.

  "Please don't say that if you don't really mean it. I don't think I can handle that if you don't mean it," Alfie said while looking him right in the eye. Matt rested his hands on Alfie's hips.

  "Alfie, I want to wake up next to you for the rest of my life. The idea that you will have to go back to your apartment soon, I don't really want to think about it."

  Owlishly blinking at Matt, it occurred to him that he would indeed have to go to his apartment soon. The idea bothered him just as much as it seemed to bother Matt.

  "When my lease is done, I'll move here permanently," Alfie said as he ran his fingers through Matt's hair. Matt himself leaned into the touch as he pulled Alfie closer until he had to turn his face to the side, cheek meeting clothed chest, the thump-thump beat of Alfie's heart was soothing. He flipped them around and rested his head back on Alfie's chest.

  "I'd love that, but I kind
of want to see your apartment before your lease ends," Matt said as he raised his head to rest his cheek on Alfie's chest. Alfie just smiled and nodded, his hand going back to weaving through Matt's thick hair.

  Sam had gotten bored with his toys and came bounding into the room and onto the couch. The puppy was now big enough that with momentum he could make it up the sofa with a little bit of a scamper at the end to get up. Once up, he shoved himself between the two men's legs for a comfy spot and plopped down.

  The two men laughed and turned back to each other.

  "Let’s watch a movie or something before we have to clean the kitchen and then get ready for dinner at my father's house."

  Matt nodded and watched as Alfie stretched over to the coffee table to grab the remote for the TV, turning it one, he then reached for the other remote and started to channel hop.

  Matt couldn't care less about what was on the TV. He just kept staring at Alfie. He man finally finding a movie but soon got bored with it and channel hopped again.

  Soon the reality TV shows came up. They silently decided to just watch what they always watched.

  They rearranged themselves when their position started to become uncomfortable.

  Alfie held Sam to his chest while he was held to Matt's chest, reminiscent of how they woke up that morning. It made both men's hearts fill with even more warmth as their little heart to heart had solidified that their relationship was a real thing and something both men wanted, and as things were going, they would have a long and happy relationship.

  Matt squeezed Alfie on random times and even kissed his neck and shoulder on occasion.

  They lounged for a while before getting up and cleaning the kitchen. Sam left on the couch to continue his nap.

  Afterward, they got showered and got dressed, Daphne came shortly after, dressed in warm clothes as winter had fully fallen upon the city, but they had yet to see snow.

  As they got into the car Alfie's father sent, Alfie looked up when he felt something cold land on his nose. Matt followed his line of sight and saw small white flakes falling down. It wouldn't pile up as it was too light, but the view brought smiles to the men's faces.
