I don’t wait. I don’t try to tease or make a show of it.
Right there in the emptied parking lot, I simply lean down and start sucking. My eyes stay shut. Joel groans, his fingers tightening in my hair as my head bobs up and down.
It feels like our first time all over again. That spike of excitement. Something brand new and almost deeply dangerous.
“Fuck, that’s good,” Joel praises me, his hips jutting upward. “That’s so good, baby. Keep sucking it. So slutty tonight, ain’t you? Don’t stop.”
I don’t. I don’t stop until I’ve swallowed each and every last drop of Joel’s pleasure. And the entire time I’m blowing him, I think about having the toy thrusting in and out of me, dominating my ass while Joel claims my mouth.
Taken from both ends. Both holes used.
And being…shared.
Even if it’s only with a toy.
Chapter 9
Julian
I wake up softly the next morning. No alarm drags me away from dreamland and into the waking world. I drift slowly and simply. I’m wrapped up in blankets, the hum of the air conditioner already on, but beneath my cocoon, I’m protected from the blast of cold air.
When I blink open my eyes, all that comfort turns to panic. There’s far too much daylight in our room…and Joel is missing from the bed.
In fact, his side has been perfectly tucked and tidied. Oh no. Somehow, I’ve overslept. I pull myself into a sitting position, wildly searching for my phone. It’s lost somewhere in all the downy pillows and fluffy blankets.
I eventually find it and discover it won’t turn on. The screen is black. I must have forgotten to charge it before going to bed last night. After we got home, Joel and I were very, well, busy. He took very good care of me, returning the favor of the blowjob I gave him in the car.
Joel might enjoy coming first, but he’s never been a selfish lover. He always makes sure I get mine too.
I’ve just gotten my phone plugged in when Joel tries to sneak out of the bathroom. He’s already fully dressed for the day. Even has his boots and cap on.
“Shit, sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you, but I forgot my vitamins.”
Never mind that. I’m more concerned with why he didn’t wake me up when he did. “What time is it?” I ask, shoving off the blankets and swinging my legs over the edge of the bed. “I’ll get your coffee.”
Joel’s at my side, ushering me back into bed before I can stand up. “Julian, it’s fine. I already took care of all that. Lay back down. Hell, sleep in for a change.”
He sits on the edge and tugs up the various blankets and sheets until they’re draped up around my waist.
“Joel, is something wrong?” I may relent to being put back into bed, but I stay sitting upright as I fluff a pillow behind me.
“Nothing,” Joel reassures me and pecks a kiss against my mouth. “But I won’t be home until late tonight, so don’t wait around for me. Take today to treat yourself and properly relax, all right?”
I nod my head, but I can’t help prodding for more information. “What’s going on?”
Joel sighs. “Some disciplinary action is going down. Manuel got himself into a real shit storm. He slept with another soldier’s wife. I think you know her…Minh?”
It takes my brain a long moment to put the pieces together. “Minh and Manuel cheated together?”
“Yep, that they did. Not sure how it’ll hash out in the end, to be honest.”
I’m stunned. Things between Minh and her husband must have been a lot worse than I thought. I feel so bad. Like I should have known or done something more to help. However, I’m not so surprised to hear at all that Joel’s friend was involved in all this. Bless his heart, but that’s the type of man who givesfuck boystheir moniker.
“Are you still going to be friends with Manuel?” I ask not to judge, but just to know.
Joel rubs the back of his neck. “Fuck. People’s business is their own, but I gotta admit it’s hard to imagine staying friendly with a cheater. I don’t know. If it were anyone else, no, but it’s Manuel and he’s…”
“He’s Manuel,” I finish for Joel and nod with understanding. Making bad decisions and bouncing from one disaster to the next is just how Manuel lives.
