Chapter Twenty-Five
Protecting What’s Mine Has Its Benefits
Luke
“Y ou going to be okay, buddy?” Gabe asks for the tenth time since Kaden left tonight.
“I’m okay. I want to get home to Kaden. You good if I get going?” The doors have been locked for about a half hour now.
“Go. Take tomorrow off. I’ll handle it here.” I hug my best friend before rushing out the door.
When Kaden left the restaurant earlier I did not take my eyes off Tyler for the rest of the night. The fucker had the audacity to grin at me as he walked out the door. Had Gabe not been standing next to me at that moment, grabbing my shoulder, I would have walked out to the parking lot behind him.
I wonder what his wife would think of the shit he pulled tonight. I don’t know what he said to Kaden, yet, but I can guarantee his wife wouldn’t like it and probably doesn’t even know about Kaden at all.
I park outside his building and take my phone out, dialing Kaden’s number when I enter the foyer. He doesn’t answer on the first try. I try again entering the elevator. It doesn’t connect, the elevator blocking my signal. I dial his number again walking faster down his hallway than usual. I check the door handle and knock hard when it doesn’t move.
“Hey I’m here. I’m coming.” Kaden’s sleepy voice answers the call finally. The call disconnects as the door lock disengages. He opens the door still rubbing his eyes. I crash into him, relieved to have him back in my arms.
“Luke, I need to breathe.” Kaden’s muffled voice in my chest makes me smile. I loosen my grip on him and lock the door behind me. “I’m sorry I didn’t answer right away. I fell asleep on the couch.”
“It’s okay, I just got worried. Did you sleep long?” He looks at the clock on the microwave. It’s after 11 p.m. now, so he’s been home for about three hours.
“I passed out just after I got home.” He wraps his arms around my neck pulling me closer, hitting me with those sultry eyes, his lips rendering me breathless.
Releasing me, he takes my hand and walks me to his bedroom. When the bedroom door closes behind us, the air in the room changes. The heat in Kaden’s eyes is immeasurable.
He’s standing so close I can feel his breath on my lips when he says, “Do you know how sexy you were defending me. Threatening someone in my honor?”
The way Kaden unabashedly undresses me with his eyes as they roam down my body and back up to my face again sends blood rushing straight to my cock. “You like when I let someone know you’re mine? Does that turn you on, Kaden?” It was my turn to undress him, but not figuratively. I grab the hem of his shirt only to have my hand forcefully knocked away.
“It does, in ways you couldn’t imagine.” He leans in, warm breath kissing the nerve endings in my lobes making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. The commanding allure exuding through his words stuns me, “On your knees, Luke. Now.”
This man continues to amaze me more every single day. I drop to my knees without a second thought knowing I would do anything he was to ask of me.
Choosing his words purposefully, Kaden smirks, “Good boy.”
I inhale deeply from the praise. My eyes close of their own volition, rolling backwards.
He fists my hair pulling my head backwards so that I’m looking up, his authoritative presence demanding attention. “Did I say you can close your eyes?”
“No,” Reading the room, I add, “sir.” Kaden’s nostrils flare. Letting go of my hair, he stands upright. The evidence of his hard cock at eye level. He notices my attention to his arousal. I wait for further instructions knowing the better it’s all going to feel by letting go.
“Take it out” I quickly oblige, loving every second of Kaden taking control. He was right, it’s incomparably erotic.
His cock stands fully erect inches from my mouth. I haven’t had the privilege to suck him off yet, not that I haven’t wanted to try, but we are always too eager to be inside each other. I want this more than anything right now, the need to swallow his cock takes every fiber of my being to resist until I’m given further instructions.
“Stick your tongue in my slit.”
When the tip of my tongue pushes into him, his body shivers. It delights me that I did that to him.
“Put my cock in your mouth until it hits the back of your throat.”
I take a deep breath and do as I’m told. When the head approaches my throat I gag and remove him from my mouth.
“Try again. Breathe through your nose. Don’t think about it so much.”
I try again, relaxing my throat and breathing through my nose. This time I get him back farther without feeling the gagging sensation as much.
“Swallow.”
The control Kaden is displaying falters for a brief moment as I swallow around him. A loud, gravelly groan forming in his throat faintly vibrates my eardrums.
He entangles his fingers through my hair and begins pumping into me slowly, giving me time to acclimate to the rhythm. I suck on him with every withdrawal. Kaden’s head lolls back, mouth agape. The physical feeling of having Kaden in my mouth is exciting and fills me with pure lust, but his facial expressions and the carnal noises coming from us while I’m sucking his cock is downright pornographic.
My hands instinctively grab the back of his thighs. He stops abruptly, pulling completely out of my mouth. I take the moment to catch my breath.
“Did I say you can put your hands on me?”
“No, sir.”
His stern glance at me, albeit enjoying himself, displays his disappointment in my lack of obedience. “Strip. Get on the bed. Face to the mattress, ass in the air. Now.” My heart is pounding in my chest with anticipation of what’s to come. I’ve loved every second of Kaden being inside me since first experiencing it. Right now, it’s turned into a need. I work with haste to meet his demands. Kaden fully undresses and moves to the nightstand grabbing his supplies, throwing them on the bed.
Once in position, without any warning the room is filled with the belting sound of skin against skin. A stinging sensation on each of my ass cheeks follows causing me to jerk forward. Sealing my lips tightly, I muffle the groan that built in my throat from the pain. I take my punishment with pleasure.
Soft palms tend to the wounded areas. “Does my Bug like being under my control?”
“More than you can possibly imagine,” I breathe out each word with passion behind them.
He huffs at me, “Maybe next time you’ll think twice about teasing me in public with promises you can’t keep.” His palms on my ass spread me wide. The moment his tongue skims across my hole I’m whimpering, internally begging for more. I want it all, everything he has to give me.
He licks a long stroke from my balls up my crease, circles his tongue around my hole and pushes in with the tip. The act is now in my top 5 favorite things Kaden has done to me. His tongue pumping in and out of me has my cock about to petition Kaden to let me show it the attention it desperately needs right now. My fists clench around the pillow above my head, fighting to control the urge.
I see Kaden in my periphery reaching for the lube. His tongue disappears from me. Its replaced by his cold, gelled fingers massaging my hole, lasting only seconds before his index finger is shoved fully inside me in one quick motion. I gasp from the sudden intrusion. He doesn’t move any further, allowing me a moment to adjust.
“If it becomes too much, tell me. Full stop. No questions asked.”
I nod vehemently, giving him full permission to use my body as he sees fit.
He hooks his finger downward towards my belly and touches my prostate sending shooting sensations to the base of my spine. Pumping in and out of me at a slow pace, a second finger then joining while his free hand reaches around to fist my cock, it’s thankful for his touch. The noises leaving my body are foreign to me. The ecstasy coursing through me heightens when he shoves a third finger into me, increasing his pace. The hand on my cock hasn’t moved aside from tightening and releasing while thumbing over the tip. I need him to stroke it badly but know I am at his will. He’s teasing my cock while stretching me. The combination is offensively coarse, but I’ll take it willingly, for him.
“Do you like me using your body, Luke? The pain turning into pleasure. Me abusing your hole like it’s my playground. Tell me what you want. What do you need?” He whispers out every word.
“More,” is the only word I can seem to form.
When he hooks all three fingers, pressing harder than the last time, my body collapses to the bed. A moaning cry echoes through the room. His attack on my hole halting when he withdraws his fingers and goes to grab the condom off the bed.
I grab his wrist, stopping him. My face still resting on the mattress, I breathlessly tell him, “Bare. I tested clean a couple weeks ago. Please.”
“I tested clean over a month ago and I’m on PrEP. Are you sure?”
“Without any doubts. I trust you.” I let go of his wrist when he leans down, kissing me softly.
His demeanor changes, “Can you get up?” I nod, turning over to sit up.
He slides back on the bed positioning his back against his headboard. “Ride me.”
The love coursing through me right now is unfathomable. He’s allowing me control, altering the plans he had for me this evening.
Straddling him, my lips attack his. I reach for his cock and align him, slowly sinking down until my balls touch above his pelvis. With nothing between us I can feel the heat from him inside me. The sensation more intense.
I brace my hands on his shoulders as I lean back and start undulating on his cock. His hands squeeze my hips, our eyes locked in an affectionate embrace. Earning the love of this man will forever be my greatest accomplishment. I’m overwhelmed with emotions, bringing me to tears. I continue riding him through my emotional breakdown.
Kaden leans up cupping my face and gently kisses me. He licks my tears away, one cheek at a time, then returns his lips to mine. Barely whispering he tells me, “Take what you need from me.” He leans back and bends his knees, encouraging me by thrusting upwards at the moment I’m falling onto his cock, he succeeded. I place my hand on his shoulder, the other behind me on his thigh, and begin spearing myself on him, quickening my pace.
Both of us sweaty messes, the panting and groaning are like music to my ears. “Fuck, you’re killing me. You feel so good. Don’t stop, please.” Kaden’s pleading sets me on fire.
“I’m about to come,” Kaden warns attempting to lift me off him. I brush his hands away and fist my cock aggressively stroking, wanting to come with him. Needing to come with him.
I feel him begin to pulse inside me, the warmth of his cum squirting into me and the moaning coming from him sends me over the edge. I spring off his cock and aim mine at his face, erupting all over him. The gratification written all over his face matches my own as I mark him.
I catch my breath and lean forward to lick his lips, sweeping up my release and sharing it with him in a sinful kiss. My cum, now his.
I feel his fingers caress my hole, his cum seeping out of me. He wipes it up and pushes it back inside me, marking me from the inside.
I’ve never felt more connected to anyone in my entire life.
I wake up wrapped in Kaden’s arms feeling like I’m attached to a radiator. How could anyone be naked and still give off this much heat? I peel my sticky body from his, knowing I need another shower now. After the mess we made of each other last night we took a bath together again. I’ve never liked baths before meeting Kaden. Hell, there’s a lot of things I thought I didn’t like before meeting him. I’m finding it hard to resist anything when it comes to him.
“Where are you going?” Kaden’s groggy morning voice whines from behind me. I don’t get a chance to respond when his arms wrap around me pulling me back onto the bed.
I laugh at his resistance to getting out of bed, coming from the man who is used to getting up by six in the morning to run. “C’mon out of bed. We’re going out today.”
“Do we have to?” Kaden hangs his leg over my hip, hooking it around me attempting to keep me in place.
“Yes, we have to. Don’t tempt me to stay in bed. I have the day off and I’m taking you somewhere. Up, now mister.”
He releases me, only to whine more when I make my way to the bathroom to shower. Lucky for me, he follows and gives me that beautiful view of him looking up at me through those long lashes, swallowing my cum like it’s his favorite meal of the day.
He pushes my hand away when I attempt to touch him, “Later.” I can see the sinful thoughts all over his face.
We finish getting ready in record time and head out to feed Fred first. Pulling Kaden away from Fred cuddles gets harder every time they are together. I think he loves Kaden more than he loves me, now.
Traitor. Maybe people are right. Cats have no loyalty. I’ll just have to win him back with more treats.
“First on the agenda, breakfast.” Kaden’s grumpy side is about to come out if I don’t get food and coffee in his belly soon.
“I know the perfect spot.” I’m hesitant about not warning him where we are going, but I know how anxious he gets about meeting new people. Hopefully not telling him doesn’t backfire.
We walk into the aroma of baked blueberries permeating the café.
“Luke!” The gleeful voice overpowers the cacophony of espresso machines, chatter of multiple conversations, and ambient music.
“Good morning, G” Grace’s embraces are comparable to Lanie’s and their stature being similar makes for backaches for me.
“Well, who do we have here? Hello, cutie pie. You keeping my Luke here in line? If he gives you any trouble you come talk to me, you hear?” The warmth in Kaden’s expression while Grace gives him a matching backache is evidence I’m not in all that much trouble like I thought I’d be.
“Nice to meet you…G?” Kaden looks to me for validation.
“Grace.” I clarify for him but G slaps my stomach.
“You hush now. He can call me G if he wants to. Anybody that can tie you down for more than a night is basically family at this point.”
Kaden’s shoulders shake with amusement, and I can feel the heat light up my cheeks.
“Now, now Grace. Quit bothering the boy. We don’t want to scare off the first man Luke has had the balls to bring home to meet us.” Aunt Brenda throws her arm around her wife’s waist giving us some breathing room.
“Wait, have there been other men, Luke? You told her but not me? What the hell? I thought I was your favorite?”
I love Brenda more than I can put into words, but G knows I favor her and likes to point it out whenever possible to tease her wife, even though I’d never say it aloud. Brenda is my role model in every way. She shaped me into the man I am today, and I couldn’t be more grateful. G was the one that suffocated me with love and affection knowing at times I needed it more than anything else.
“No, G. Kaden is my first boyfriend.”
The approval of my truth on her face embarrasses me a little more and she’s proud of it.
“Would you boys like some coffee and breakfast? C’mon, a batch of those blueberry muffins you love came out of the oven a few minutes ago, Luke.” Brenda hooks her arm through Kaden’s, leading us to the back of the café where they have their own little space cornered off. “So, Kaden tell us all about yourself. Pretend like Luke hasn’t gushed about you habitually for the past month.”
“I thought we weren’t trying to scare him off, Brenda?”
“Nonsense, I was only giving Grace shit for not telling me you were here. If this guy scares off that easily he isn’t built to be in this family.”
“I can see where Luke gets his boldness and incredible sense of humor from,” Kaden’s laughter nearly bursts my heart into pieces.
For the next hour I watch my three favorite people in this world enjoy each other’s company, mostly laughing at my expense but I’ll take it any day if this is the outcome. G may or may not have attempted to bribe Kaden to marry me claiming, ‘He needs someone that looks at him the way you do.’ I swear, that woman is a wild card. When we all agree it’s time to get on with the day, I have to pry Kaden from my aunts’ arms, having to promise he will visit them again soon.
“So, that wasn’t too bad of a surprise?” The hesitation in my voice is acknowledged when I feel Kaden shaking from where my hand is on his lower back. I’m glad he’s amused.
“No, you’re not in trouble, Luke. It was a nice surprise. They’re a lot of fun to be around.”
“Good, because now that they’ve met you they are going to want to see you all the time. I can guarantee one of them will be texting me for your phone number by bedtime tonight.” Given the huge grin on his face, I am guessing he will not mind that at all.
During the short drive to Freedom Park, Kaden chatters on about how nice my aunts are and how he cannot wait to introduce them to his mom. He insists they will get along like three peas in a pod. I have no doubt knowing Kaden and Lanie, their mother is amazing, as well.
“Okay, now that you threw me into meeting ‘the parents’,” he literally uses the air quotes on me, “you’re joining Sunday dinner and game night.”
“Wait, tonight?” He notices the rise in my tone and wide-eyed look I shoot at him.
“Hey, at least I’m warning you beforehand.” Kaden’s fingers tapping away let me know I am in this whether I like it or not. “Mom said she can’t wait to meet you, and you better bring your A-game for some shit talking with my dad.”
I wipe my brow, feeling the temperature in the car rise a few degrees almost instantaneously. Kaden’s faint laughter is barely noticeable through the pulsing sounds in my ears.
“Luke, you have nothing to worry about, I promise. They will love you.” Kaden’s attempts to reassure me don’t do the trick.
“I’ve never met anyone’s parents. I’m fucking 30 years old. Why does this scare the hell out of me like I’m a 16-year-old boy?”
Because I love him. If his parents don’t like me, then what?
Kaden’s hands wrap around my face as I put the Jeep in park, pulling my lips to meet his. My shoulders lower and thoughts stop racing from his touch. I’ll never understand how he has this much power to ease my mind.
