Whenthey lived together after Harley rented his little house and settled himself into his new life.

Notifthey still wanted it after time passed and they got to know each other better.

Harley pulled his legs off Claude’s lap and turned onto his stomach. He pressed his hands to the bottom of the tub and slid up Claude’s front. Water sloshed around them as he kissed him hard, deep, grateful, needy.

“What’s that for?” Claude asked, a little breathless.

Harley nuzzled their noses together. “Just because.” It was more than that, but his feelings transcended words, so it was the only answer he could give. And the way Claude’s fingers dug into his hips and kept him close told Harley that he understood exactly what he meant.

“I want you.” The words escaped Harley’s lips before he was even aware he was going to say them. They were full from dinner—reheated cassoulet that Claude put together, which was somehow even more delicious than when he first made it.

He was feeling easy and a little sleepy and very, very horny.

Claude looked at him, his eyes going dark. “Oh, yes?”

“Yes. I…” Harley bit his lip. He didn’t know how to ask for what he wanted.

“Tell me,” Claude murmured.

Harley felt hot all over, like his tongue was stuck to the roof of his mouth, and on a whim, he leaned toward the coffee table and picked up his notebook, scribbling until his wrist hurt. He took a breath, then passed it over and closed his eyes so he didn’t have to watch Claude read.

A moment passed, then another. Then another. Harley was starting to wonder if maybe he was being too ridiculous.

“You want me to fuck you, mon âme?”

Harley forced himself to look up.

Claude was staring at him with dilated pupils, and his lips parted on a rough breath. “You want me to take my pill so I can spread you open on my cock and fuck you until you can’t see straight?”

That was exactly what he’d written, and it was strange to hear his words aloud like that. He licked his lips, then whispered, “Yes.”

Claude groaned and reached out, pulling Harley on top of him. “Yes. Yes. My answer will always be yes.”

“Except when it’s not, right?” Harley asked, his voice trembling from the way Claude was now nipping at the tendon in his neck.

“Except when it’s not,” Claude parroted. He sucked a mark on the curve of Harley’s shoulder, then pulled back with a loud pop. “Will you bring it to me? The pills are in the bathroom in a small black bag under the sink. The top on that one is red.”

Harley’s whole body felt like it was on a knife’s edge between pleasure and disappointment. He wanted Claude so bad. He wassoturned on. His cock strained at his sweats as he stumbled to the bathroom and dropped to his knees, where he began to paw around for the black bag.

He found it hidden behind two bottles of unopened mouthwash, and he pulled the zipper to find the bottle with the red top right away.

“I like seeing you on your knees for me.”

Harley jumped and turned, finding Claude standing in the doorway, using the frame to keep himself upright. His cock got harder, dribbling at the tip. He could feel it wetting the inside of his boxers.

“I’d like to see this again when I’m nice and hard for you. Open the bottle, chéri.”

Harley’s fingers struggled to obey, but eventually, he popped the cap and tipped one into his hand. It was very small, oval-shaped, and a sort of muted yellow color. Such a small thing could do something so…big.

“Come here,” Claude ordered.

Harley put the bottle back in the bag, then rose and walked over. He held out the pill, but instead of taking it, Claude opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue. Harley’s breath caught in his throat as he placed it down, but before he could pull his hand back, Claude sucked his finger and thumb in his mouth and swallowed as he took the pill dry.

Harley groaned as Claude’s tongue traced the shape of his fingers before finally letting him go. “Fuck.”

Claude grinned. “That’s the plan, but these take a little while to work, so I think I’ll play with you until I’m ready. Would you like that?”

“Yes,” Harley murmured.
