“What are you talking about?”
“I haven’t smoked in a month. The doctor told me to stop.”
“When did you go to the doctor?”
“I go every six weeks to make sure I’m clean.”
“I suppose that’s a good thing.”
“What else do you want to know?”
“Drink in moderation. No more blackout drinking.”
“I don’t know if that’s possible, but would you accept a try hard on that one?”
“Would you accept me telling you that you’ve had enough?”
“I don’t know. I can offer this, though. I’ll limit my drinking to three drinks. If I go for the fourth, youcan remind me.”
“That’s a good compromise.” He leaned in and pressed his lips against Jace’s, savoring the softness and warmth. “You’re all I want,” he confessed with longing in his eyes.
Chapter Thirteen
Jace
Nico’s grasp on Jace was firm, radiating a sense of power and protection. He had cuddled him before when he’d had nightmares, but this was so different. They had spoken their words, and the room fell silent, the weight of their conversation hanging in the air. They would begin a relationship, something Jace had wanted for a long time.
Nico got up from the bed and got a condom and lube. He stood over him. “Turn over, Jace,” Nico instructed.
Jace flipped over onto his stomach with enthusiasm. As Nico stood over Jace, he took a moment to put on the condom.
“Are you sure you want this?”
“I want your cock. I’ve always wanted it.”
Nico crawled onto the bed, causing the springs to creak beneath him. He pushed Jace’s legs apart and knelt between them. Nico squirted lube onto his fingers and massaged Jace’s hole. He wiggled his finger in but didn’t touch his prostate. He applied more lube and pushed a second finger in, then a third, fingering Jace fiercely.
“Like that?” Nico asked.
“Ahh. Yes.” Jace’s cock stood fully erect against his stomach, trapped against the bedsheets, and ready for meaningful pleasure.
Nico held his lubed cock to Jace’s opening. Then, in one long slow stroke, he pushed in. A burning pain shot through Jace’s legs, ass, and up his spine. He wasn’t sure if it was from the pressure or if he needed more time to adjust.
With his body weight on Jace’s back and his hot breath in his ear, Nico whispered, “My cock is where it belongs. Your ass is mine. Just relax and enjoy me.”
“Why do you feel so fucking big inside?” Jace asked.
“Does it hurt right now?”
“A little.”
“Do you need more lube?”
Jace nodded.
Nico pulled out, reached for the lube, and squirted more between Jace’s cheeks and on his condom. “Sorry, Jace. I should have prepped you more.”
“It’s okay. I want you so much.”
