Dinner, thankfully, proved to be a far less awkward affair than the first meeting between his father and Ethan. Either his dad had decided to talk about anything but Ethan’s parents or he’d managed to take the hint that the topic was off-limits. However, that did not stop him from asking about everything else.
The topics had ranged from Keith, for which Ethan was enthusiastic, though his eyes had darted nervously to more than once. Then he’d gone into Ethan’s service. Ethan spoke more about some of the places he saw and some of the people he’d met. had no doubt Ethan had fielded more than his fair share of awkward conversations about his service in the past.
Calvin nodded as finished describing a port he’d visited once. “And what about your love life?”
“Dad,” groaned, covering his face.
Ethan gave a polite smile. “What about it?”
“Don’t encourage him,” protested.
“I have every right to ask a man about his intentions,” Calvin pointed out, jabbing a fork at . “If he’s just here for a good time, it’s best he get that out of the way now.”
“I’m going to put you in a home,” groaned into his hand.
“And I’ll get kicked out of every single one,” Calvin told him proudly.
Ethan looked between them before clearing his throat. “Well, I asked out because he interested me.”
“Interested you, eh?” Calvin asked with a raised brow.
“Dad,” hissed. “Don’t you dare talk about sex. I swear to God, don’t you even think about it.”
Ethan continued. “And he was interested in me. And after spending time with him, I can safely say my interest isn’t just...passing. But I think that’s the sort of conversation he and I should have once we’re ready.”
“Well,” Calvin said slowly, wiping his mouth with a napkin. “That was certainly a very carefully worded response.”
“I’m choosing to take that as a compliment,” Ethan said with a smile.
Calvin chuckled. “Yes, I think you’ll do just fine. There’s not much I can say to that, now can I?”
“No,” interrupted, “there isn’t. Please stop playing matchmaker right now. I’m afraid you’ll ask if he plans on sullying my honor.”
“I’ve seen your search histories,” Calvin told him. “I don’t think Ethan can best that.”
As if the comment wasn’t bad enough, Ethan’s laughter was worse, especially when it came with coughing as he’d tried to drink. Ethan wheezed into his napkin, simultaneously trying to apologize, though, whether it was for laughing or because he’d splattered milk everywhere, wasn’t sure.
“Hm,” his father looked over Ethan speculatively. “Or maybe he can.”
“Neither of you gets dessert,” informed them, pushing his bowl away with a huff.
“I could make a joke there,” his father said, tossing his napkin onto the table. “But I think that might get me grounded.”
“Try me,” said, narrowing his eyes.
“I think instead, I’ll try for my bedroom tonight. A little bit of light reading before I get some much needed rest. And don’t worry about me tonight, hew. I think I can manage,” his father said, pushing up from the table.
“Like I’m not going to come check on you,” muttered.
“And I’m telling you, I will be quite alright. My head is quite clear tonight, and after my medicine, I’ll be dead to the world for at least ten hours.”
sighed, waving his father off, knowing there was no point in arguing. Just as his father knew there was nothing he could say to stop from checking in on him.
“Medicine?” Ethan asked, looking concerned.
waved a hand through the air dismissively. “To help him sleep. He doesn’t like to take it because it knocks him out, but he’s supposed to take it because it knocks him out. Otherwise, he gets restless in the middle of the night and can’t stay asleep. Of course, if you ask him, he’ll say that if his body wants him to be up, then he should be up.”
“Stubborn,” Ethan acknowledged.
“Oh, you have no idea,” chuckled.
Even more so when his father wasn’t having a ‘clear’ day. On the days when his head felt foggy, leaving him confused and unsure of himself, his father’s playfulness and wit disappeared. In its place was a surly and often sharp-tongued man never looked forward to interacting with.
“Let me help,” Ethan said as gathered the dishes.
chuckled. “Don’t worry, that’s why we have a dishwashing machine. Had one ever since I was a kid. My mom refused to do more housework than was necessary, preferred her garden.”
“Smart woman,” Ethan said, helping him rinse the bowls before putting them in the machine.
As they worked, their shoulders bumped against each other, hands brushing over hips and arms. knew they weren’t being as careful as they could be, but he didn’t mind. Ethan was warm to the touch, and the glimmer of pleasure on his face made want to toss out all the little touches and go for the big one.
“I’m off to bed,” his father called from the other room.
“Ring the bell if you need anything,” told him as Ethan’s arm wrapped around his waist and pulled him back into him.
His father grumbled as he went up the stairs, making smile. It would take a dire emergency for his father to call for help, but despite that, refused to take the wireless bell down or take the button from his father’s room.
“C’mon,” said, leaning against him. “Let’s get this movie night started.”
* * *
Movie night, discovered, was apparently code for ‘nap night.’ Or it was for him anyway. After half of the first movie, a back-to-back feature, he began to drop off. The next thing he knew, they were nearly a quarter of the way into the next movie.
It didn’t take long for him to discover that in the time he’d spent sleeping, he’d somehow ended up slumped on top of Ethan. While he was willing to accept Ethan had been pleased to steal a cuddle, something else was far more embarrassing.
“Hey there,” Ethan said when he saw was awake.
wiped his mouth, eyeing the damp spot on Ethan’s shoulder. “God, I’m so sorry.”
Ethan chuckled, the arm around ’s back squeezing gently. “Don’t worry about it.”
“I drooled on you,” said unnecessarily.
“That you did. And you know what? Not really that bothered about it. Plus, it was kind of cute.”
“There is nothing cute about drool.”
“Babies drool and people think they’re cute.”
“I’m not a baby. And no one thinks they’re cute because they drool.”
Ethan turned his head and kissed soundly, chuckling. “I find it cute coming from you. I got to watch a cheesy western with you asleep peacefully on my shoulder. A little drool is well worth it as far as price goes.”
blinked, clearing his throat. “Is that going to be a thing now? You shut me up by kissing me?”
“It works,” Ethan said, smirking. “Why, is that a problem?”
wiggled, so his position against Ethan was a little less awkward. “No, I guess not. It’s still cheating, though.”
“I’m okay with that,” Ethan said, cupping ’s face.
This time, was ready for the kiss and turned into it. He hadn’t accounted for Ethan’s tightening grip around his middle just as he turned, so clumsily fell against Ethan and ended up half in his lap.
Their noses bumped, drawing a laugh from Ethan. “Not clumsy, huh?”
“That was not my fault,” protested.
“That’s alright,” Ethan said, voice low. “I like you there anyway. Just one little adjustment first.”
With that, found himself pulled completely into Ethan’s lap. And while there wasn’t a huge difference in size between them, he certainly noticed it while in the man’s lap. Ethan’s bulk pressed against him comfortably as he wrapped his arms around ’s waist and held him close.
From there, it was so easy to give in and kiss Ethan. Strong arms gripped him hard as he leaned into the kiss, parting his lips so Ethan’s tongue could explore his. His head spun as Ethan’s hands moved, sliding to grip his waist and thighs. There was sweetness in the touch, tenderness in the kiss, but there was no mistaking the heat that bled into the gestures.
“Ethan,” breathed, pushing his hips down to grind against his groin.
The larger man groaned, his grip on ’s legs growing even tighter. found himself pulled backward, his upper body hanging save for the fact that his arms were around the back of Ethan’s neck, which kept him from falling. One of Ethan’s hands slipped between them, cupping ’s groin and squeezing gently. The grip was spot on, wrapping around the middle of ’s covered cock and drawing a soft whimper from him.
Just like that, Ethan brought upright, but only long enough to grab the hem of ’s shirt and yank the garment off him. shivered as cool air brushed his warm skin, although Ethan’s eyes sweeping hungrily over his exposed torso might also have something to do with it.
“It’s been a while,” admitted, trying to keep the nerves out of his voice.
“We don’t have to do anything you don’t want to,” Ethan said, eyes intent on ’s.
“Will you still be around if I end up that kind of date?” asked before he could think about it.
Ethan leaned in, cupping the back of ’s neck and holding their faces level with one another. “We can stop now, and I’ll still want to take you out. We can go all the way, and I’ll still want to take you out. Either way, I just want to take care of you for a little while, .”
He groaned, bowing his head. “There’s no way in hell I can’t fall for that line.”
“That,” Ethan grumbled, “wasn’t a line.”
gave a soft yelp of surprise as he was rolled onto his back and pushed onto the couch. “Me telling you that you’re breathtakingly gorgeous is a line. And also very true.”
shivered but had one more thing to confess. “I, uh, also don’t have...anything here. I didn’t think about it until you showed up.”
Ethan cocked his head, eyes flicking to the jacket he’d thrown over the back of the couch. “Would you hold it against me if I said I might be able to help with that?”
“You brought supplies?” asked, more aroused and amused than irritated.
“Well, I didn’t want to assume,” Ethan began.
“But you were hopeful,” said with a soft laugh.
“Yeah, I’m busted.”
grinned, leaning up. He took hold of Ethan’s shirt and quickly yanked it over his head. “Well, it’s a good thing I felt a little hope myself. I’m just the one who didn’t come prepared.”
“Coming is the best part,” Ethan told him, grabbing the jacket.
laughed. “You’re lucky you’re pretty. Because that was awful.”
And was Ethan ever pretty? His entire torso was like a slab of granite. Apparently, recovering from his wound and newly experienced civilian life hadn’t hurt his workout regimen. ran his fingers through the coarse hair on Ethan’s chest, stroking the muscles before following the path down to his stomach.
“How did you get bigger without a shirt?” wondered, stroking the man’s treasure trail affectionately.
“Magic,” Ethan said with a wicked grin.
narrowed his eyes. “If you’re about to make a ‘now watch my dick disappear’ joke, we might have to have a serious talk about the longevity of you and me.”
“I won’t say it,” Ethan promised, tossing the jacket away now he had what he wanted. “But I’m thinking. Very loudly.”
“Lucky for you, I’m not a mind reader,” said, undoing the button of Ethan’s jeans.
Ethan watched him intently. “You want to go to your bed? Might be more room.”
grabbed the zipper, pulling it down slowly. “You want room? There’s a floor right there.”
“Oh,” Ethan rumbled. “Not a picky man, I see.”
“Hey, that’s new carpet. I made sure it was padded and everything,” protested, tugging the zipper again.
“So be it,” Ethan said, sliding away from to stand.
Not that had long to be without Ethan’s presence as he was quickly, though gently, pulled to the floor. He was robbed of being able to finish the job on Ethan’s pants, though, as the man bent down to place his mouth on ’s stomach, sucking and licking gently as he undid the button to ’s pants.
“Ah,” squirmed as Ethan’s mouth went lower and found his ticklish spots.
However, there was a moment of relief when his pants were finally undone and swiftly pulled off. His underwear still restrained him, but it was far less constricting than denim. With a slight shiver, he felt himself freed from his underwear as Ethan’s lips found their way to his thighs.
hissed, rubbing his hands over Ethan’s head, wishing a little more hair was there to grab. The thought disappeared when Ethan’s mouth closed over him, taking him halfway down the shaft before sucking. gasped softly, hoping the wet sounds coming from Ethan wouldn’t carry up the stairs. His hips twitched as Ethan pulled back, the noise messy as he pulled off the head, only to dive down again.
Shuddering, ran his hands over Ethan’s head, neck, and shoulders. Pleasure rippled through him as he explored the muscles on Ethan’s body that he could reach. A cool touch on his ass jerked him from his reverie, and he had to bite his lip to repress a loud groan as Ethan’s slick finger pushed into him.
“Tricky, tricky,” said, approving.
Ethan chuckled, the sound vibrating around ’s shaft and drawing another moan from him. He hadn’t even seen or heard Ethan retrieving the lube, but as far as prep went, had to approve.
With Ethan’s mouth around his cock, and his finger inside him, turning into two fingers a moment later, was left gripping the man desperately. Ethan’s fingers weren’t all that small, but even then, he barely noticed when the other man stopped his lips beneath the head of his cock and did something with his tongue that took the breath from his lungs. By the time his head was done spinning from whatever trick Ethan had pulled, he realized there were three fingers inside him.
“Keep doing that and this show is gonna finish before it can really start,” told him between breaths.
Ethan pulled off with a messy pop, grinning up at him. “Yeah?”
laughed, patting the man’s shoulder. “I mean this in the best way possible, but you clearly have some practice.”
Ethan chuckled. “Don’t worry. I’ll take it as a compliment.”
gasped when Ethan’s fingers shifted, parting enough to stretch him further. He almost missed how Ethan had pushed himself upright, finishing the job had started on his pants. definitely didn’t miss the reveal as Ethan shoved his jeans and underwear off his hips.
“I see why you went with three fingers,” chuckled.
“You can call foul anytime you want,” Ethan told him.
“The only foul you’re going to get called on is if you make me wait much longer. Consider me impressed and ready to go.”
“Demanding.”
It was said with a grin, and Ethan eased his fingers out of before pressing against him, kissing him fiercely. gave a low noise as Ethan’s cock pressed against his as their bodies ground together. Distantly, he thought it fitting that it felt as heavy against him as the rest of Ethan’s body.
“You,” Ethan mumbled, kissing ’s neck, “make the best sounds.”
chuckled, thrusting his hips up to grind their cocks together again. At that, Ethan bit ’s neck, giving a low growl as he did so. “I could say the same of you.”
Ethan rolled his hips and felt his cock slip between his legs and against his ass. He bit his lip, trying to push against it even as he held tight to Ethan’s back. The man’s body felt like a slab of nothing but muscle and was fascinated by how they moved and shifted beneath his touch.
“Don’t get too eager,” Ethan warned him. “Still gotta wrap it.”
wriggled, not caring how needy it made him or if the groan of protest was obvious. To his credit, Ethan seemed just as eager, pushing himself back quickly to grab the condom tearing open the wrapper. A swipe of lube later, and he rolled it down before slicking the exterior.
Ethan picked up by the hips, resting them on his thighs before leaning over him. couldn’t see what he was doing as Ethan reached down between their bodies, but he definitely felt the cool press of Ethan’s slick head against him. Their eyes locked, nodded, and Ethan pushed forward.
There was one moment of nothing save the pressure of Ethan bearing forward, and then gasped. His body stretched, prepared by Ethan’s fingers, but felt the slight burn of being stretched further. Ethan gave him another couple of inches before leaning forward and, to ’s delight, was tall enough to kiss him as he did so.
moaned into the kiss, lips parting as he eagerly sucked on the tip of Ethan’s tongue. Another inch was added, and the larger man began rocking his hips, pulling free a little before adding more thick length. The burn was still there, but it was faint and unobtrusive.
’s attention was devoted to the feel of Ethan’s tongue against his and the faint rumble of pleasure between their lips. He could feel Ethan’s hand on the back of his head, the other resting on ’s hip and squeezing. Ethan covered him completely with his bulk, warm, his body hair brushing against as he carefully but insistently worked himself inside.
And then he was sheathed completely.
groaned, wiggling his hips as he adjusted to how full he felt. He wrapped his legs completely around Ethan’s waist, hands splaying over his back in a comfortable grip.
“You okay?” Ethan whispered against his lips, voice tight and heavy.
“Oh yeah,” told him, rolling his hips to feel Ethan move inside him a little. “God, you are big, but in the best way.”
“That’s two ‘best way’ compliments tonight,” Ethan said. “I’m on a roll.”
“Get those hips moving, and you’ll be on fire.”
“I can do that.”
When Ethan pulled out, letting his hip shift to push himself back into him, gave a low groan. As the movements continued, he had to suck on his bottom lip to stop himself from letting out an even louder sound. He couldn’t be sure if Ethan was the biggest, but he was certainly big, and it felt like the man was filling him completely.
His head spun as Ethan’s thrusts became deeper and more insistent, pulling out only to push his entire length back in. He hadn’t found a rhythm yet, but didn’t care as he rode the waves of pleasure rushing through him. When Ethan picked his hips up further, bending forward to keep the position, the next thrust sent a sudden crash of ecstasy through him.
“Fuck,” swore, forgetting to keep quiet as he moaned.
Ethan grinned ferally at that and kept the position as he began to move his hips in earnest. had no choice but to bury his face in Ethan’s shoulder as, time and time again, Ethan’s cock sent burst after burst of pure pleasure through him. His muffled groans sounded too loud to his ears as Ethan drove into him.
He had no idea how long he lay there, bent almost double as Ethan held him tight and thrust inside him. His only measure of time was the frequency of the bursts of pleasure that drove thought from his mind, growing in strength with every thrust. He wasn’t surprised when his body coiled, brimming with sudden pressure.
Not trusting himself, pulled his head back, capturing Ethan’s mouth with his. The pressure released, and he cried out softly into Ethan’s mouth as he felt himself spill onto his stomach. His body bore down around Ethan, earning a low groan as he kissed fiercely.
grunted as he felt Ethan pull free. In one motion, he yanked the condom off and hovered over , fist moving over his cock in easy, slick movements. Not caring that he could barely feel his legs or that Ethan had just had a condom over his dick. Before Ethan finished, he pushed the man backward, catching him off guard and making him lean against the couch instead.
Before Ethan could do more than grunt in protest, was kneeling before him, knocking the man’s hand away. Wrapping his hand around the thick base, took Ethan into his mouth and sucked hard, driving his lips over the head and down the shaft. The man’s hand curled in ’s hair, gripping hard as he gave a low cry, cock throbbing on ’s tongue. Salty warmth spurt over his tongue and into his throat, a thrill of pleasure shivering through him as he swallowed eagerly.
On the last spurt, released his hold and eased his mouth off Ethan’s spent and sensitive cock. He sat back, letting out a few ragged breaths, followed by a chuckle.
“I know I said it had been a while,” began. “But damn, that was worth the wait.”
Ethan grabbed him by the back of the head and kissed him. smiled, feeling the faint tremble in the man’s body. Apparently, wasn’t the only one feeling a little shaky.
“Fucking gorgeous,” Ethan repeated, letting collapse against him and wrapping him up in his arms.
sighed contentedly. Eventually, they would have to get up and clean up their mess and the evidence. But for the moment, he was perfectly content to lay against the other man, basking in his warmth and the heady post-orgasmic bliss that filled him.
