Chapter 19 #2
“Fuck, you’re beautiful.” Val moved slowly at first, his eyes on Saint to make sure it wasn’t too much too soon. When Saint winced, Val paused.
“No. Don’t stop,” Saint pleaded. “Keep going.”
“It’ll get better,” Val promised as he gingerly pushed himself inside Saint inch by inch. “So fucking good,” he groaned. He buried himself inside Saint, the tight heat unlike anything he’d ever experienced.
“Move. Please,” Saint groaned as he palmed his cock and started jerking himself off again.
Val pulled out almost all the way out, then slowly pushed back in, and Saint growled.
“Fuck me, Val. Please.”
If that was what Saint wanted, Val would give it to him. He took Saint’s left leg and put it over his shoulder as he covered Saint with his body and pulled almost all the way out, then thrust in deep and hard.
“Oh fuck! Yes, fuck, yes!”
Val couldn’t help his ridiculous grin or the way his heart swelled. He pumped himself inside Saint, sweat beading his skin as he thrust over and over again, pushing in as hard and as deep as he could, his groin smacking against Saint’s ass.
Saint’s hand motion became quicker, just like his panting. His brow was beaded with sweat, his skin flushed as the sinful sounds of his jerking off and Val’s body smacking into Saint’s filled the room.
The fire inside Val ignited, turning into a scorching inferno that exploded through him as he lost his rhythm and he thrust wildly, pegging Saint’s prostate. Saint screamed his name, his body tightening around Val and nearly pushing him over the edge as ribbons of come hit Saint’s chest.
Unable to hold back any longer, Val’s thrusts became short, fast, and hard.
He came so hard he almost doubled over. He filled Saint, his body wracked with shivers as he pumped himself inside Saint a few more times, then slowly pulled out, his dick twitching at the sight of his come leaking from Saint’s hole.
“Fuck, Baby.” Val was breathless as he dropped onto his side next to Saint. They both lay there staring at the ceiling as they caught their breath. When Val thought he could move again, he rolled onto his side to face Saint. “You doing okay?”
“I’m not sure. My brain was just fucked out of me.”
“Is that a good thing?”
“As long as you don’t need me to, like, do any math or anything.”
Val laughed. “Math after sex? I could never be so cruel.”
Saint rolled onto his side to face Val, his smile wide and eyes filled with so much love. “I think I like the butt sex.”
“That so?” Val tried to hold back his laughter. “You like the butt sex, do you?”
“Yes, very much. We should do more of that. Butt sex for both of us.”
Val couldn’t hold it in anymore and laughed. “Is that what you’re going to call it from now on? Butt sex?”
“I mean, it’s sex. In the butt.”
Val snickered. “You’re ridiculous.”
“Must be a side effect of the butt sex,” Saint teased, his eyes alight with amusement.
Val hummed. “There’s a pill for that, you know.”
Saint fell onto his back with a laugh. It quickly faded, and Val placed a hand on Saint’s stomach.
“What’s wrong?”
“I may need to borrow some clothes.”
“Oh shit!” Val sat up, a hand to his mouth. “Baby, I am so sorry. Fuck, I feel like such an asshole. You just lost everything, and I haven’t even said anything.”
Saint sat up and shrugged. “What is there to say? It’s gone. But I’m not worried about it. I mean, it sucks, but it’s just stuff. I have renter’s insurance, and all my important documents are in a safety deposit box at the bank. Anything with sentimental value is at my mom’s.”
“So why do you look so sad?”
“The same can’t be said about my neighbors. Some of them have been living there for decades. They’re older, and I’m sure everything they owned was in their apartment.”
Val’s heart went out to those poor people. An idea occurred to him. “What if we have a charity event to help them? Raise some money to get them back on their feet?”
Saint lit up. “That’s an amazing idea! I could ask the guys, maybe talk to Gio. He’s an expert at putting together charity events. I bet he’d help.”
“I don’t think you’ll be short on people who’ll want to help,” Val said. He thought of something else. “Also, you’re welcome to stay here until you find another place.”
“Thanks,” Saint said, taking Val’s hand and kissing his palm. “I appreciate that.”
“And if time passes and you haven’t found anything, and you decide maybe you want to stay, you’re welcome to do that too.”
Saint stared at him, a slow smile spreading on his face. “Really?”
“Yeah.”
“You’re amazing,” Saint said, kissing Val. It was a sweet, slow kiss. When he pulled back, he wrinkled his nose. “I need to wash up.” He motioned down to his chest, and the dry come on his skin.
Val didn’t blame him. “There are hand towels under the sink.”
With a quick kiss, Saint got up and groaned. He looked at Val over his shoulder, a wicked gleam in his eye. “I’m gonna be sore tomorrow, Chief.”
“Guess you’re just going to have to return the favor.”
Saint’s pupils dilated, and he licked his bottom lip.
“Just remember you said that.” He sauntered off to the bathroom, and Val fell onto his back with a big smile on his face.
How had he gotten so lucky? He’d almost drifted off to sleep when the mattress dipped.
He moved his arm so Saint could snuggle up close.
“You’ll be back at work soon,” Val said through a yawn.
“Yeah. But I can help you with the tavern on my days off.”
“You sure you don’t want to be doing something fun on your days off?”
Saint placed his hand on Val’s chest, and Val covered it with his. “Are you kidding? Working on the tavern with you is fun. I love it.”
“Me too,” Val said. “I can’t believe how close it is to being ready. I mean, I’ve been thinking about it for so long that opening day always felt so far away.” He tapped his fingers on Saint’s hand.
“What’s wrong?”
“A part of me worries no one is going to show up.”
Saint lifted up onto his elbow. “What?”
Val shrugged. “I don’t know. Isn’t that every businessperson’s fear? That no one will show up for the thing you’ve poured your heart and soul into?”
“Babe, I can guarantee the place is going to be packed on opening night.”
“You really think so?”
“I know so.” Saint kissed him and lay back down. He was so quiet that Val thought maybe he’d fallen asleep until he spoke up. “I’m going to visit my parents tomorrow.”
Val held his breath. “Oh?”
“Yeah. I think it’s time.”
“Whatever you need, just let me know,” Val said, rubbing Saint’s arm. Knowing Saint had cousins who were gay and accepted by his parents said a lot about the kind of people they were. Better than Val’s parents, for sure. But he understood Saint’s worry.
“Thanks.”
Val kissed him and held him close. Whatever happened, Val would be right by his side. There were so many firsts waiting for them, good and bad, but Val had faith in them. They were going to be good together. He could feel it.
