Chapter Nineteen
CHAPTER NINETEEN
HE WAS GOING mad. His throat was raw, his eyes burned with tears. Soon he fell into a troubled sleep.
An hour later, Jason slipped into bed. The mattress dipped under his weight. Ethan lay on his side, facing the wall, his breath slow but uneven. Jason hesitated, watching the curve of Ethan’s back under the thin blanket, he slid in closer. He rested a warm hand on Ethan’s hip, his fingers gently spreading over the fabric.
“Ethan,” Jason whispered, his voice low, rough with emotion. “I’m sorry.”
There was no response, but Ethan’s shoulder slackened. Jason pressed onward, his chest met Ethan’s shirtless back.
Jason’s fingers gently traced circles on Ethan’s exposed shoulder. Slowly, Jason's lips brushed the sensitive space where Ethan’s neck met his shoulders. He kissed Ethan’s neck softly at first, testing the boundary. He was rewarded with Ethan’s head in response, tilting slowly in his direction.
Then, Jason’s kisses became more deliberate, trailing Ethan’s neck. With his hot breath against his skin, Ethan shivered quietly, a soft moan escaping his lips. Jason’s hand gently slipped under the blankets and around his waist, pulling Ethan closer to him.
“Jason,” Ethan whispered, his voice shaking. Jason continued lightly kissing him and breathing in his scent. Ethan rolled onto his back, turning to face him.
Jason didn’t wait — he cupped Ethan’s face with both hands and kissed him deeply. Ethan felt Jason’s lips connect with his, allowing himself to slip away. Ethan reached and tangled his fingers through Jason’s auburn hair pulling him close. Their mouths moved in sync.
Hot. Hungry.
Jason shifted, leaning over Ethan. Their lips never disconnected, Ethan felt Jason’s entire weight rest on him, the pressure further relaxing him.
Their legs became tangled as Jason’s dick pushed against his jeans. He felt Ethan’s own member pressing into him.
Jason pushed his hips deep as Ethan let out a moan. Reaching down Ethan unbuttoned Jason’s jeans. Kicking off his pants they ground into one another kissing. Ethan breathed deeply, as Jason’s mouth began searching his body frantically. Kissing every inch of his chest, Ethan arched into Jason’s lips as the lean muscles of his stomach flexed.
Ethan tugged at Jason’s shirt, his fingers fumbling before Jason pulled it off entirely tossing it to the floor. Their bodies pressed together, skin against skin, Ethan shuddered as Jason kissed down his chest to just below his navel. Lingering only a moment, Jason tugged at Ethan’s boxers sliding them down his legs, revealing his cock. Hungrily, Jason took Ethan into his mouth.
“Jason,” Ethan said again, his voice breaking. Waves of pleasure ebbed through him as Jason’s mouth slipped up and down.
“I’m here,” Jason murmured, his tongue flicking the tip of Ethan’s penis.
His eyes narrowed in pleasure, and Ethan’s body quivered. For the first time in days, Ethan felt open and free.
Jason continued sliding up and down, and Ethan’s breathing became rapid. Taking him right to the edge, Jason felt Ethan’s body tightened as if ready to explode.
Then abruptly, he stopped, Ethan relaxed but his cock throbbed.
“We’re not done, just yet,” Jason said, his voice low.
Jason kissed back up Ethan’s chest and met his mouth hungry. Sliding down his boxers, their cocks met, rubbing against one another. Jason leaked as Ethan clawed him closer.
The two were tangled as one.
Jason reached into the drawer of the nightstand producing a small bottle of clear liquid. Expertly, he snapped open the lid and squeezed a generous amount of lube onto his hand. Taking two fingers, he gently caressed Ethan’s entrance as he moaned, then taking the remaining lube, rubbed it onto his cock.
Slowly, he teased Ethan’s hole, but tired of waiting Ethan clutched Jason’s ass inviting him in. Ethan felt Jason gently thrust into him, his entire body lit up with pleasure, as his hand pumped himself. Jason’s head fell to the side of Ethan’s, breathing ragged into his ears, he said, “I love you.”
Ethan felt the pleasure blossom in his chest, as Jason thrust slowly in and out, as if wishing Ethan to feel every elongated stride.
“I love you too,” Ethan whispered.
Their breath became deep and in sync. Jason's thrusts became more rapid and more aggressive, and Ethan stroked himself faster.
“I’m so close,” Jason moaned.
Ethan's eyes were closed, as the pleasure emanated through him like strobing lights, “Me too.”
In unison, Ethan shot an endless stream onto his chest, as Jason pulled himself free of Ethan, and an orgasm viciously tore through his body. Jason shuddered, convulsed until he fell sweaty onto Ethan’s chest.
Later, Ethan lay sprawled across Jason, their body still tangled, warn from the encounter. Jason’s fingers lazily traced patterns along Ethan’s spine. The touch soothed Ethan, it grounded him. Ethan’s head rested against Jason’s chest, the steady thrum of his heartbeat calmed him.
Ethan let out a relaxed exhale. He felt as if he could melt right into Jason.
“I need to tell you something,” Ethan said softly, breaking the easy silence.
Jason tilted his head, brushing a stray strand of hair from Ethan’s forehead. “What is it?”
Ethan hesitated, then cleared his throat, “I’ve been having dreams. About a girl. She’s…warning me of something. I don’t know what it means. She’s trying to warn me of danger.”
Frowning, Jason, hand stilled. “What kind of warning?”
Ethan shook his head, biting his lip, “I’m not sure. Honestly, I don’t know what any of it means. I feel like I’m losing it.”
Jason pulled him closer, pressing a kiss to his temple. “You’re not losing your mind,” he said, his voice firm and reassuring. “If you’re losing it then so will I. We can be crazy together. They’ll make us roommates in the asylum. Imagine how much we will save on rent.”
Ethan chuckled into Jason’s chest. Closing his eyes, he let Jason’s steady presence wash over him. Then for the first time in days, he fell into a deep tranquil sleep.
The next morning came early, sunlight peaked through the blinds as Jason climbed out of bed. Ethan stirred and groaned softly. Jason leaned down and brushed a kiss on Ethan’s forehead.
