Chapter 11 Elijah
Elijah
I wake slowly as the morning sun slips through the cracks in the curtains, seeping gently past my eyelids.
I feel a smile stretch on my lips as I remember where I am.
And with who.
Damn, it feels good to be home.
My heart feels so full as my eyes flutter open and I see nothing but his thick neck in my eye line. We’re tucked in close as my hand is splayed on his chest.
It’s like even in my sleep, my body gravitates toward him.
I’ll never get enough of him. My groin knows it too, the way it’s pressed against his thigh as our legs intertwine.
I feel his soft breathing as I snuggle even closer, running my lips softly against the column of his throat.
His skin tastes so good so early in the morning.
Feeling across his hard pec, I can’t help myself but run my hand slowly down his stomach. Sucking in a breath, I see his abs clench, like I’m tickling him.
“Mmm, good morning.” He chuckles softly, his voice all deep and husky as he tucks my head under his chin and tightens his hold around me.
“You’re awake.” I smile, watching my hand drift down to his waistband. Only, to my happy surprise, there’s no waistband. Only his bare, soft skin, making all my nerves spark.
Getting lost in his soft trimmed hairs, my hand wraps around the base of his hard dick, earning a needy gasp from his lips. Sucking in a breath, he rocks his hips into my hand.
“God, I love waking up to you in the morning.” He groans, watching my hand stroke him. He’s already rock hard, throbbing for me. Looking down, I see that I’m no different. We’re tangled so close that a slick line of my pre-cum leaks onto his thigh. The friction alone has me right on the edge.
Shifting me gently, he rolls me to my side so my back is pressed against his chest. Holding me close, I feel him reach behind the pillow, right where we always stash the lube.
The excitement of what he’s about to do to me makes my dick twitch even more.
“I need to feel you,” his voice thick with anticipation. “You have no idea how badly,” he says before nuzzling his face in my hair.
Feeling him right there is driving me insane. I can’t help but rock my ass against his hard dick. “I need you too.”
I hear the faint click of the lube cap, and soon his slicked-up hand wraps around me, stroking me leisurely. My whole body trembles at his touch.
The moment I feel his firm grasp, my whole body trembles. The way he handles me. He’s grown so confident and it drives me crazy. It reminds me so much of how far he’s come and that alone makes me even harder.
“Yes, T,” I gasp, hips grinding helplessly into his grip. “Fuck.”
I hear his breathing stutter as he keeps his face in my neck. Letting me use him to get me off. Just like this. My ass cheeks slide around his dick, teasing us both. It’s so much and not enough at the same time.
As though he understands, he props his right leg on the bed.
“Come here.” Keeping me pulled to his chest, he takes my leg and positions it on top of his knee so I’m wide and spread.
“Holy fuck,” I gasp, feeling exposed.
His hand leaves my dick, but he’s already guiding his slick fingers to my rim. Not trying to enter me, just slowly exploring my edge and slapping my hole. The action makes me dizzy and weak as my head falls back to his shoulder.
“You’re teasing me so much. I can’t handle this.” A soft whimper slips through my lips and I’d feel embarrassed about it, if it wasn’t for the fact that I’m with him. I feel so safe.
I hear his deep, breathy sounds as he plays with me. Taking his time sliding against my rim, teasing me gently.
"Your ass pulses so nicely for me. Fuck, E. It wants it so badly," he says in almost a whisper. His voice laced with heat.
My dick leaks at his words, a strangled moan escaping my chest. Worked up to no end, he wraps his hand around me again, jerking faster.
“Shhhit,” I gasp, feeling his dick pressing against my asshole at the same time. Slick and wet sounds echo through the room.
With every twist of his wrist, the pressure in my groin builds. My balls tighten as it’s all becoming too much. “I love the way you touch me.” I pant, looking over my shoulder at his sweat-slicked hair.
“Your body is so unreal. I can’t handle it.” He bucks his hips, diving in close to kiss my neck.
“Don’t stop touching me,” I beg, feeling his hand start to falter its pace. “I need you, Angel. Don’t stop—”
One slow, instinctive hip roll makes the tip catch and slip just inside. It’s just the head, but the pressure of it is enough to make us both gasp.
Without warning, my dick goes off like a sprinkler, dripping over his fist onto the sheets as he grips me for dear life.
I moan, trembling. “I’m c-coming—”
I feel his warm release pump inside of me, filling me to the brim. “Oh God,” he groans. “Ffffuck, you feel so good.” His raw voice trembles as he drops our legs, encasing his dick between my thighs. Sliding in and out, his body jerks with the aftershocks, the feeling so dirty it prolongs my orgasm.
Being surrounded by him…covered by him…it makes me feel like a king.
“Jesus,” I shake, still riding the pleasure. “You’re a little too good at that.” I pant, sinking into the bed as we both come down.
Tobias chuckles lightly, rolling me on my back again, and relaxing his head on my chest.
“I may have gotten carried away. I needed you badly.” He blushes, giving the back of my hand a few kisses.
“Maybe I should leave more often,” I joke, running my hand through his hair.
He doesn’t laugh at that. Instead, he wraps his arms around me and squeezes me tighter. “Don’t you dare,” he says, his voice muffled and quiet.
“Mmm, you didn’t go for a run this morning?” I ask, pushing his hair out of his eyes.
He stills, looking away from me. “Uh, yeah. I did. I just decided to get into bed with you afterwards.”
My eyebrows pinch. What’s with the weird energy shift?
“You okay?” I ask, looking him over. I tilt his face back towards me.
That’s when I see it.
Red.
Blood.
My stomach drops as my panic surges through me.
“Holy shit, what happened to you!?” I scramble, grabbing his face. His eyebrow has a deep gash, dry blood crusting over the skin. “Tobias, what the fuck!?” My blissed out phase completely fades away as soon as I see it.
Tobias winces, turning his head away from me. “I fell down. It’s nothing,” he says, pushing his hair back in front of his eyes.
“That’s not nothing. T, you could’ve really hurt yourself. Since when have you fallen during your runs?” I ask.
“It’s what I get for trying to get back to your ass, as fast as possible.”
He laughs, but it doesn’t reach his eyes. The thought taps like a woodpecker in the back of my brain — but he kisses me, and the tapping goes quiet for now.
Rolling off the bed, I watch him head to the bathroom, acting like everything’s normal. Is everything normal?
Concerned thoughts cloud my mind.
He fell? That’s so unlike him. My stomach feels weird.
I can’t help but feel like something’s wrong.
But then again…I guess people fall sometimes. I mean, it’s not unheard of.
“Are you coming to join me?” He winks at me over his shoulder, showing off his firm, bare ass and effectively making me forget all about why I was so concerned.
I guess it can wait.
Right now, I have to deal with that.
***
I pout, resting my chin on his shoulder. “But, I want to stay with you.” I wrap my arms around his waist, holding him as close as possible. “There’s only so much of the day left. I don’t want to be apart.”
“That’s not very scholarly of you.” Tobias laughs, as he flips the French toast in the pan. “But, as much as I don’t want to leave you today, you’ve got homework to do and I’ve got to check on the restaurant quickly. It’ll only be a few hours and then you can come meet me.”
“Maybe I’m not meant to be a filmmaker. Maybe I’m meant to liquidate all of my assets one day and move us to the lake house where we’ll spend all of our time soaking up the sun in the country.” I whine.
Tobias’s eyebrow arches as he bites back a laugh. “That sounds oddly specific.”
I nod my head. “I’ve thought about it once or twice…Thrice.”
He flips the breakfast on our nearby plates and turns the burner off before turning around to face me, arms wrapped around my shoulders.
“What else?”
I think about that for a minute. “We’ll only work part-time because we’ll have a bunch of restaurant minions to do the work for us.”
Tobias’s eyes sparkle as he holds me. “Go on.”
“We’ll spend the majority of our time in the water during the summer or cuddled up in front of the fire in the winter.” I say in a dreamy tone.
“You’re so cheesy.” He shakes his head, full on belly laughing now.
“I don’t know what you find so funny. This is happening.” I tease, running my hands up his back.
“Oh, I know it is. Whatever Elijah wants, Elijah will get,” he says, biting me softly on the ear.
“Mmm, I’m glad you know it.”
He leans in, kissing me softly on the corner of my mouth. “Whatever you want, E. Seriously. I’d do anything for you,” he says it like a promise.
I feel my heart expand three sizes, thinking about how much I believe him when he says that.
Hugging him tightly, I pull him in close. “Same goes to you, you know?”
He shrugs, laughing simply. “I don’t ask for much. Just you. You’re all I need.”
I connect our lips in a feverish kiss because damn, there’s no way I’m letting him go without his lips on mine after that declaration.
“I love you so much, T.” I tell him. Not because I think he needs to hear it, but because I like saying it.
He rubs my back gently, up and down, kissing my forehead. “I love you more.”
