Chapter Nineteen
HUDSON
GABY HAD SLEPT FOR the entire trip back to New York and the drive back to the apartment. I really didn’t want to wake her, but I thought she would be more worried if she woke up alone in a strange bedroom. I knew that Nico wouldn’t mind me spending another night with her, but I had neglected him for the past week and wanted to show him that I cared about him just as deeply as I did Gaby. Nico had parked the car in the underground parking lot and was just getting our bags out of the trunk.
“Gaby, it’s time to wake up, sweetheart. We are at the apartment in New York.”
I felt her stirring next to me as her eyes slowly opened. I could tell she was still sleepy as she spoke.
“Where are we?”
I pressed a kiss on her lips before I answered her, but not before I saw the cute blush that came across her cheeks.
“We are at my apartment building. Are you awake enough to walk, or do you want Nico to carry you again?”
I knew that would totally embarrass her. Nico hadn’t carried her – I had – but I couldn’t help myself from winding her up slightly.
“Oh, God. He didn’t, did he? Why didn’t you just wake me up? How am I going to face him now?”
Nico must have realized what was going on and opened the door next to her. “Is he trying to wind you up? I didn’t carry you. He did. And you say I wind people up. I think you are doing a good enough job yourself, Hud.”
He chuckled slightly and held out his hand to help Gaby out of the car, which surprisingly, she took and got out. I proceeded to get out of the car on the other side and met Gaby at the back of the car. She went to pick up one of her bags, but Nico immediately stopped her.
“I’ll take these and come down for ours in a minute. We have stuff upstairs, so there is no rush, but I’m guessing you would rather wear your own clothes than Hud’s t-shirt.”
It was Nico’s turn to embarrass her. I was sure she would either get used to us both or flee eventually. As I walked around the car to meet her, I could see the embarrassment on her face, but also the way she was looking at Nico. There was definitely an attraction there, which meant the sooner I told her what we both wanted, the better. However, I needed to give it a couple of weeks for her to settle in before doing that, and I knew just how I was going to do it too.
We made our way up to our apartment. It was, of course, the penthouse suite and was over two floors. I had chosen this area overlooking Central Park as it was close to the office and also felt more like home. I loved it here, but there were times I thought about moving back into the countryside. We walked in, and I immediately led Gaby to what would be her bedroom on the second floor, leaving Nico to get a drink for us both for when I returned.
It was one of the biggest rooms in the house, and we had decorated it for this exact occasion. No one had ever stayed in this room, and no one except Gaby would. It would be her safe haven, and neither Nico nor I would join her in this room. Except for tonight. Tonight, I just wanted to lie next to her until I knew she was settled and asleep.
“I’ll let you get changed while I get out of this suit. Then I will be back in.”
I walked along the corridor to my room, quickly changed into a pair of sweats, and walked back into Gaby’s room. I usually slept naked, but I thought that would be a little much for tonight. I could hear Gaby in the bathroom as I waited for her on the bed. It wasn’t long before she came out and smiled as she lay down beside me.
“I haven’t thanked you for coming to get me. You don’t know how much it means to me to finally be away from Vincent. If there is anything I can do to repay you—”
I placed my finger on her lips. She should know she doesn’t need to thank me.
“You don’t have to thank me. I couldn’t let you stay with him. Now, tonight, just sleep. Doesn’t matter what time you get up in the morning. Just get some rest.”
“Will you stay with me?”
“I’ll stay until you fall asleep. This is your room. Your safe haven. I want you to have somewhere to go that is just yours. We will talk more tomorrow, okay?”
I could see the disappointment in her eyes, but knew it was for the best. Once she knew everything, she would understand. I pulled her into my side and gently rubbed her arm. I could hear her breathing start to slow and before long, she was fast asleep.
I WALKED BACK downstairs to find Nico changed and sitting in the living room with a drink in his hand, and one waiting for me on the table next to the sofa. I walked over to him and sat down, pulling him into my side. Feeling his bare skin against mine was something I had sorely missed, and I relished the heat of his body next to mine. I felt him move slightly in my grip and looked over to see him looking back at me.
“God, I’ve missed you, Hud.”
It had been the first time in years that we hadn’t shared a bed together for more than a night.
“Even though I’ve been with Gaby these past three nights, I’ve missed you too. I wish we had just told her from the beginning and shared the weekend together, but after what she told me about Vincent, I didn’t want to push matters.”
He gave me a smile. “I understand, and I didn’t mind too much. We have her now, and we can steal our moments together like now.”
In those few words, I realized why I loved him so much. He knew the end game, and was willing to sacrifice our time together to get there. I could feel the tingles running through my body as he ran his hand up my arm and into my hair. It was only a matter of moments before he crashed his lips against mine. His lips were a vast contrast to Gaby’s, but I didn’t care as our tongues fought against each other in our passion-fueled moment together. He pulled away, and I saw the look in his eyes. I knew what was coming next; whenever he looked at me that way, I felt like prey to his predator.
“On your knees.”
I couldn’t resist him when he spoke to me like that. Something about being a Dom, but submissive with another partner was a real turn-on. I got down on my knees and watched as Nico pulled his hard, thick cock from his pants. I could feel my mouth start to water as I watched him gently stroke himself. He smirked down at me as he continued to fondle his cock.
“Have you missed this, Hud? Have you missed tasting my cock?”
He knew just how to get to me, teasing me so much. I looked at him with longing in my eyes, licking my lips at the sight of his salty sweetness seeping from the tip. He slowly leaned forward, running his finger through it and then placing his finger on my lips. I instantly ran my tongue along his finger, getting my first taste of him in days. He gently placed his hand in my hair, before pushing me down onto his cock.
I knew exactly what he was going to do. We had played out this scene so many times, and it was one of his favorites. I opened my mouth just as I reached the tip of his cock and was slowly coaxed down by his hand on my head. I heard him swear under his breath as I started sucking and licking in the way I knew would drive him wild. I wasn’t sure if he would come for me. Sometimes he did; others, he became too impatient and took me to get his release. I would never know which one it was until he told me.
“Fuck, this feels so good. Don’t stop. I want you to take all my cum. Then I will punish you for leaving me alone for too long.”
I looked up and saw him watching my every movement closely, waiting for me to make him come. I moved my hands to cup and then squeeze his balls as I continued to glide up and down his cock, quickening my pace as I tried to resist the urge to gag when I started to take him deep down my throat. I could hear the moans starting to form in the back of his throat as I continued to control his sensations with my tongue and mouth.
I felt his balls start to tighten and his cock twitch as he moaned my name and started to come down my throat. I took every drop of his cum as it surged from his cock. I slowed my pace, allowing him to come down from his high slowly, but make it last as long as possible. When I could hear his breathing start to regulate, I carefully glided my mouth from his cock and was immediately pulled up to his lips so he could taste himself on me.
Our tongues once again dueled against each other in our normal fight of dominance. Neither of us would win, but both of us would at least try. Nico abruptly pulled away and spoke.
“Bedroom, now.”
I got up from my knees and followed him into his bedroom. As soon as I walked into the room and closed the door behind me, I found myself being pulled into his arms and his lips crashed against mine. I knew he had missed me, but it wasn’t until now that I realized just how much. We stood there for a moment, kissing each other furiously, until I pulled away from him, needing to catch my breath.
“We have far too many clothes on, Nico.”
As if anticipating what I was going to say, he had already started to remove his pants and got onto the bed. I quickly followed suit and joined him. His hand gently ran across my chest, his warm fingers tracing a path down toward my now-erect cock. As soon as he ran his finger up and down my cock, my body came alive with pleasure. I felt his lips press against my shoulder and then up toward my neck, igniting my senses with every touch. I was desperate to feel him inside me.
“Please, Nico. No more teasing. I need you.”
I could feel him smiling on my skin as he continued to lavish kisses across my skin. I felt his tongue glide up my neck toward my ear, sending quivers of pleasure throughout my body, before he whispered into my ear.
“Then I’d better give you what you desire, shouldn’t I?”
He moved away and I suddenly felt the heat of his body leave mine. Even though it was not cold in the room, I felt goosebumps all over my skin. I turned my head and watched Nico as he went to the drawer next to the bed and pulled out the lube and a condom. Even though we were checked regularly, we had always agreed to practice safe sex between us both. In fact the only time I hadn’t used a condom was when I had been with Angel, which suddenly made me feel guilty. I needed to be honest with Nico and tell him, so I went to speak, but was abruptly stopped.
“We can talk more about the weekend another time. Now I just want you.”
As usual, Nico knew me better than myself and could tell when something was worrying me. I nodded my head and tried to erase the thoughts from my memory, if only for a few moments. It wasn’t difficult watching Nico unravel the condom along his impressive shaft. He always knew how to make me want him even more with just a touch or a moment like this.
He pushed me over onto my side and lifted my leg with his arm. I felt a shudder as he squirted the cold lube onto me. I held my breath as I felt his finger circling my ring, desperate to feel him enter me. I took a sharp breath and then groaned as his fingers entered me, readying me for his cock. He continued to press kisses into my neck as he expertly readied me for what was about to come. Nico was always the caring lover, far more loving and considerate than me, but together, we worked. He was working me into a frenzy, and I was so desperate now to have him.
“Babe, please. I want you.”
He knew I was ready as soon as I called him babe. I only ever called him that in the bedroom and when I was at the point of desperation. He removed his fingers, and the next thing I felt was the tip of his cock rubbing against my cheeks. Even though he wanted this as much as me, he would always prolong the agony as long as he dared. Slowly, I felt him edge his way into me, causing us both to groan in pleasure. I felt his breath next to my ear as he moved slowly in and out of me.
“You’re always so tight for me, Hud.”
I felt him reach over and pull my face around to his. He was always the one to need this physical contact throughout our sessions together. The tenderness of us kissing throughout, showing me how much he cared for me. As soon as our lips touched, the usual surge of love and caring went through my entire being. Nico’s rhythm started to build as he moved in and out of me, hitting endless pleasure spots as he went. My need to come was building inside me as I reached down and started to caress my cock. With us being apart for so long in our normal life, I knew it wouldn’t be long before the pair of us went over the edge.
I could already feel my balls starting to tighten when Nico spoke.
“Come with me.”
Feeling him start to twitch inside me, along with the groan he emitted as he started to come, set my own orgasm off within seconds. Nico slowed his pace, bringing us both down slowly from our high. We lay there for a second, catching our breath, before Nico spoke.
“God, I’ve missed you, Hud.”
“I can tell. Let’s get ourselves cleaned up and then come back to bed. We need to be up early so Gaby doesn’t suspect anything.”
We quickly cleaned ourselves up and then headed back to bed. Nico pulled me into his side as soon as I got onto the bed. He was always the comforting one out of us both. He was the one that needed the physical contact between us. Not that I didn’t like it; he just needed the reassurance more. As we lay there, he pressed a kiss into my hair and spoke.
“Goodnight, Hud. Sweet dreams.”
“Night, babe.”
With that, we both drifted off in a restful night’s sleep.
