Page 57 of Hold Me Down

Travis let out a moan, pushing back into the touch and smiling widely, relaxing into a familiar rhythm, so good Travis's knees were shaking with only two fingers inside him.

"I'm good," he said as he caught his breath. "That's enough."

Dave paused but didn't withdraw. "Are you sure? I'm happy to continue."

As if to underscore his point, he brushed his thumb right next to where his other fingers disappeared inside Travis.

"I thought you werehappyto move things along." Travis closed his fist around Dave's cock and tugged. "I recall something about teasing?"

"Fuck, okay." Dave pulled out his fingers. "Have at it."

"How generous," Travis tried for a dry tone, but he was too worked up to really sell it. He turned around quickly, settled back in Dave's lap, and positioned himself before sinking down with a sigh.

"Good?" Dave whispered, voice punched out of his lungs, and Travis nodded. There was a bit of a burn, but he liked that from time to time.

"Yeah. You?"

"You keep clenching around me like this, I'll come in no time." Dave ran his hands up Travis's thighs before resting them on his hips. "Damn, you're hot."

Once he was fully settled, Travis relaxed a bit, and they both exhaled shakily, then chuckled, grinning at each other.

"You're not so bad yourself," Travis said when he could speak again. "And you know it."

"Doesn't mean I don't enjoy you telling me that." Dave bit on his lower lip. "Not as much as that other thing, but still."

"What other thing?"

"Say it again."

It was a testament to how turned on Travis was that it took him a second to get it.

"Oh." Another kind of heat spread through him, tingling all the way down in the best way possible. "I'm in love with you." He clenched around Dave again. "I love you."

Dave arched his back, eyes fluttering close.

"You're killing me here, fuck. But I love you, too," he added, opening his eyes and catching Travis's gaze straight away. "I love you."

"I can't believe this." Travis rolled his hips and swallowed back a moan. "Fuck, that's good."

Tightening his grip on Travis's hips, Dave thrust deeper into him. "You better believe it. I'll keep telling you that every day from now on."

"Good." Travis rested his hands on Dave's chest, trying to catch his breath as his orgasm approached faster and faster. "I want to keep hearing it."

"Perfect." Dave moved one of his hands to Travis's cock and squeezed it not-too-gently. "You close?"

Barely hearing the question over the rushing in his ears, Travis only managed a nod before he came, messily and a bit painfully, spilling between them. Dave swore and followed him over the edge with his back arching off the bed as he tried to catch his breath.

Perfect, indeed.

It was half an hour later, when they were both showered and lying in bed, that Dave lifted his head from the pillow.

"Can you tell me what happened?" He waved his hand between the two of them. "To make you realize, you know."

Travis gnawed on his lower lip, searching for a way to explain it without going into too much detail. Perhaps one day he would tell Dave the whole story, but for now, maybe the simplest answer could be enough.

"I realized there's no reason to worry about making a commitment I'd already made half a lifetime ago," he offered quietly and watched Dave's eyes widen. "I was always honest before about not needing a relationship, but that was because I was picturing it being with some faceless stranger—and I never, ever wanted that. Meanwhile, with you… I already had everything I wanted, I just needed things to finally slot in the right places in my head."
