Oh my God.What am I thinking?Just because I want to be with him constantly doesn’t mean I love him.Besides, love with a man like Reed is impossible.I’m just an employee who’s a good fuck.
“Hello.Earth to Joseph.”
“Sorry, it’s a lot to take in.”
“So what do you say?Did I make you happy?”
“Of course.How can I thank you for this opportunity?”
“I’m sure you’ll come up with something.”
* * *
Reed looked at Joseph warily, not sure if he was genuinely happy.Did he really feel sorry for Torres?Were they friendlier than he thought?He put the thoughts aside when Joseph reached for him.
“I know how to thank you, Pogi.”
Reed grinned.“How?”
“Fuck me.”
When they’d first met as young men, Joseph had introduced him to sex by fucking him and for the past few days, they’d stuck to those roles.Joseph had topped and Reed bottomed.Reed hadn’t protested.He’d enjoyed giving up control.Not once had they talked about Reed topping.
“Are you sure?Haven’t you been satisfied topping?”
“I’m more than satisfied; I want you to be as well.I noticed you’re so tight, it makes me think you haven’t been a bottom for a long time.Are you just doing it because you think it’s what I want?”
“No, I’ll never do something unless I want it, too.When I met you, you fucked me and I loved it, but through the years I felt I had to be in control, in business and in sex.Being a bottom made me feel vulnerable, but this week I discovered I missed it.I like giving up control to you.”
Joseph grinned.“And you’re still bossy, not submissive at all.”
Reed chuckled.“Can’t help it.”
“Don’t change, Pogi.I love it.”
“So what’s your pleasure, Babyboy?”
“I’m versatile.I enjoy it all.The sad thing is most of the men I meet live by a rigid stereotype and they only want to top or bottom.The great thing about being with you is that we take the time to learn how to please each other.”
All these years, Reed had thought he had a preference, but when Joseph switched things up, it had opened up a world of possibilities.Suddenly, he was less concerned about labeling himself and more focused on their sexual pleasure.“You’re right.I want to enjoy it all, too.”
Joseph reached over to the nightstand for condoms and lube.“Fuck me now, Pogi.”
Reed reached for the condom, but Joseph stopped him.
“Let me, Pogi.”
Joseph put the condom in his mouth, tip at his throat, the ring in front of his teeth.He held Reed’s penis, lowered his head, and put the condom on the cockhead.Joseph unrolled the rubber over Reed’s shaft using his lips.
“You’re killing me,” Reed groaned.
“Wait, I’m not finished.”Joseph coated the sheathed erection with lube and then allowed Reed to pull him in for a kiss.
Fully aroused, Reed urged Joseph onto his back.Joseph raised his knees and spread his legs.
“Fuck, you look so sexy like that.”Reed’s voice sounded husky to his own ears.He watched Joseph closely as he slid one slick finger inside his lover’s ass.
Joseph’s face flushed with desire, and he pushed back against Reed’s hand.“Oh, God.Pogi.”
