Chapter
Five
Auggie had never felt like this before. He felt seen and cherished.
And satiated. He was used to the post orgasm end of the encounter being…
awkward, quick, and a rush to leave. He didn’t want to leave Thor, and it didn’t feel awkward because he was too boneless and happy to feel awkward.
And because Thor made him feel special. It didn’t feel like this was just a quick mutual getting off situation.
He hoped his feelings weren’t misplaced.
A glance around them at the paintings Thor had done, that he said were inspired by Auggie himself, made him feel that no, Thor was not playing with him; Thor really meant this.
And if he didn’t, well, for once Auggie was going to put that worry and self-doubt aside and live in every second of this. He was going to take it at face value.
“You hungry?” Thor asked.
“I don’t know.” He honestly didn’t. He was more floating. He was aware of his body, sure, but only of how he was sitting in Thor’s lap and lying against him.
“Well, I think we both will be soon enough. You like Chinese?”
“I do.” If he got takeout, it tended to be Chinese because the servings were always large and lasted him a couple of days.
“Cool.” Thor shifted him slightly to pull his phone out of his pocket, and Auggie was suddenly very conscious of where he was sitting and how their cocks were both hanging out of their pants, sitting warmly together.
Thor gave him an encouraging smile, as if he knew where Auggie’s thoughts had gone. “Go ahead and tuck us back into our pants.”
“Okay.” Auggie did as he’d been asked, quickly slipping his own cock away, hiding it in his pants, and zipping back up.
He took more time with Thor’s cock. So beautiful. He traced it softly with his fingertips, loving how it felt. Such warm silky velvetiness. It moved beneath his touch, firming a little once again. Oh, that took his breath away.
Thor put a finger beneath his chin and tilted his head up. “You’ll make me hard again and our food will be here within a half hour. I want to take my time with you next time.” Then Thor kissed him, long and slow.
Thor said the nicest things.
When the kiss ended, Auggie carefully tucked Thor back into his pants. Then he put his fingers between the lovely cock and the zipper so the teeth didn’t bite Thor’s sensitive flesh.
“Mmm. You’ve got a gentle touch.” Thor told him. “Did you want to see anymore of the house before supper comes?”
“Could we…” He paused, unsure what Thor wanted.
“Tell me what you want,” Thor told him.
“Could we just stay here and snuggle?” He felt so stupid asking, but he felt so safe and comfortable in Thor’s arms.
“I would like that very much, boy.” Thor kissed him again, then tucked his head against Thor’s neck, and held him.
Oh. Auggie closed his eyes and lay against Thor. This was almost better than the sex had been. As they cuddled and Thor stroked his back and occasionally kissed the side of his head, he changed his mind. He was pretty sure this was even better than the sex had been.
He was almost disappointed when Thor’s phone binged, even though he realized he was very hungry at this point.
Thor checked his phone. “Food’s on the porch. I should go rescue it.” Thor kissed him, slowly, like their wasn’t food going cold on the porch, like he was more important than that.
Then Thor helped him get up and set him back down on the chair before heading off to get their food.
Auggie sat there, blinking and dazed. He didn’t know what to think other than that he wanted to stay here with Thor and get wrapped in that warm embrace on a regular basis. He felt like he could face anything if he had that to fall back on. Like honestly, anything.
He told himself to slow down. This wasn’t his place. They hadn’t even really been on a date. Or they’d been on a whole bunch of dinner dates, but that was it. A single shared orgasm didn’t mean they had a relationship.
To distract himself from his brain, he looked at Thor’s paintings again.
They were beautiful. They were full of yearning and hope and wonder.
There wasn’t one that he didn’t like, that didn’t speak to him.
Had Thor really been thinking of him while he created them?
He couldn’t help but hold out hope for their relationship if that was the honest-to-god truth.
He jumped when Thor cleared his throat.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.”
“S’okay. I was just looking at your paintings.”
“Yeah? You like them?”
“They’re amazing. Truly.” They made him feel good, like Thor holding him had.
“They’re all you.”
He blushed hard and shook his head.
“No. Don’t do that. When I tell you something, I mean it. So you need to believe it.”
Thor saying that made his tummy fluttery and warm and he didn’t know why.
“The supper came?” he asked, going for a change of subject.
Thor chuckled, like he knew what Auggie was doing. Still, he let it happen. “I’ve set it up in the den. And I lit a fire.”
“That sounds cozy.”
“That was my intension.” Thor took his hand again and led him to the den.
Auggie really liked the way Thor’s hand felt around his, even if they were just walking from one room to the other. It made him feel like Thor cared.
They got to the den, and the crackling fire had warmed the whole place up. Thor led him right over to the couch and sat, tugging him down so he was sitting in Thor’s lap. Then Thor kissed the back of his hand before letting go of it.
“I thought we could feed each other.”
Auggie shivered, loving that idea. He cuddled in, surprisingly comfortable and extremely happy. “Yes, please.”
Thor grabbed a couple of chopsticks and leaned forward, expertly grabbing a little fried dumpling and bringing it to Auggie’s lips. “Crab rangoon.”
“I’ve never had that,” he admitted before taking the whole thing into his mouth. It was huge and he probably should have bitten it in half, but it was too late now. The flavor filled his mouth and he hummed happily, nodding to let Thor know he liked it.
“I’m glad you liked it.” Thor took one for himself, making sexy happy food noises.
Guh. Auggie’s cock perked back up. That was the sexiest eating he’d ever seen.
When he finished his crab rangoon, Thor offered him some noodles. He took those, giggling as he had to slurp the last of them in. Chuckling, Thor took a bite for himself, also needing to slurp the ends up.
“We should Lady and the Tramp it.” Auggie shut his mouth. He hadn’t meant to say that out loud. It was stupid.
But Thor grabbed a single noodle and put one end in his mouth, then held the other end up to Auggie’s lips.
Auggie took it and carefully sucked in, moving so he wasn’t pulling hard against the tender noodle.
Thor did the same and before he knew it, they were lips to lips.
He grinned, biting down and splitting the noodle.
That was just as fun as advertised. Thor must have thought so, too, because he grabbed another noodle and they did it again.
This time, when their lips met, Thor turned it into a kiss and Auggie moaned softly, forgetting all about the food for a moment. Thor licked his lips, before going to grab a piece of General Tso’s chicken and popping it between Auggie’s lips.
The flavor exploded in Auggie’s mouth. Thor followed that up with a little fried rice and then another kiss. He could taste the Tso sauce in Thor’s mouth, along with the flavor of Thor himself and the combination was magical. He felt like his stomach and his soul was being fed.
God, he was such a dork.
And he was going to have his heart broken. It was too late, though. If he left now or tomorrow morning and Thor never wanted to see him again, it would hurt either way. So he was going to have to trust that Thor was a better man than he himself was desirable.
They continued to eat and to kiss, Thor feeding him the entire time.
And Auggie let him. There was a little voice at the very back of his head that said he needed to get off Thor’s lap and feed himself; he wasn’t a baby.
He firmly put a lid on that voice and ignored it.
He’d never felt anything like this, and he was going to go with it for as long as he could.
They ended the meal with deep-fried wontons dipped into cherry and lemon sauce.
“Which one do you like best?” Thor asked.
“I think the cherry. Or maybe the lemon. Do I have to choose?”
“Nope.” Thor dipped another one into the cherry and popped it into his mouth.
Auggie crunched away on it. “Thank you. That was the best meal we’ve had yet.
” And it could have been sawdust and he still would have said that because the best part was the way they’d shared it.
Well, he was going to keep his lips shut on that particular thought, and he almost managed to do it, too. “I’m sure it’s the company.”
“I agree on it being the best and I know it was the company.” Oh, Thor did know exactly what to say to soothe his doubts and make him feel good.
“We should clean up before I show you the second floor,” Thor suggested.
He jumped up, buzzing about being invited up to the second floor. Where the bedrooms were. “I can do it. You bought it and fed me the whole time, it’s only fair if I’m on clean-up duty.”
“Sure.” Thor sat back as he cleaned, watching him the entire time.
It made him want to be sexy and sensual in his movements, but that was kind of hard to do when all he was doing was amalgamating things that could go together and closing up lids.
He put all the empties into the bags they’d been delivered in. “I’ll put the food in the fridge.” He knew where that was.
Thor grabbed the bag of garbage and followed him into the kitchen to dispose of the waste. It went into a bin under the sink. Okay, so now Auggie knew for next time.
If there was a next time.
Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. He wanted to enjoy this, and he wasn’t going to let that voice inside him ruin a second of it. Not with Thor making him feel so good, so safe. So wanted.
