Morgan
Grinning, I take Xan’s face between my hands. “Can I kiss you first?”
They still look a bit dazed, and it’s kind of sweet. “Yeah. That’s probably a better place to start.”
Slowly, I lean in and press my lips to theirs. The kiss is warm, and soft, and other than the slight stubble, it’s pretty much like kisses I’ve had before. Except I’m kissing my best friend. Again, I wonder how I didn’t see it. Smiling against Xan’s lips, I end the kiss and pull back. “I’m an idiot.“
They look worried again, so I quickly explain. “How did I never see why my other relationships never worked out?”
“Your exes were fools?“
Xan leans in, kissing me again.
My entire body tingles and I press my lips to theirs. I want to do more, but I need to finish my thought first. Backing off just enough to get the words out, I stroke their cheek with my thumb. “No. Jealous, maybe. Probably. They didn’t like how close I was with you. I think they could see that you were my person, even though I missed it completely. You are who I’m supposed to be with, Xan. Not them.”
Xan moves my hands and pushes me back a bit, and I wonder if I’ve said something wrong. Then a very naked Xan climbs onto my lap and leans backward until I get the message and let gravity pull us down onto the mattress. “For the record, I’ve decided that you’re a grown-assed adult and can make up your own mind about this. I’m not going to question it anymore. But I need you to promise me one thing.”
I nod without even hearing what it is. I’d promise Xan the world. “Yes. Anything.“
The words are muffled because their finger is still pressed against my lips.
Laughing, they nudge my shoulder. “If you change your mind or decide that you’d rather we stayed non-sex-having friends, tell me. Will I be hurt? Yes. But I can live with that.“
Their eyes get a little glassy, but their smile lights up the room. “Because you’re finally seeing me in the way I’ve always wanted. And I can’t pass up this chance.” They move their finger from my lips. “I get to have you. All of you, hopefully. And with any luck you won’t change your mind. But if you do, it’ll be worth it as long as we can stay friends. Okay?”
“Yeah. I’m not going to change my mind. I’m not sure how I missed it, now that it’s staring me in the face. But I promise. We’ll always be best friends.”
With a slightly wet laugh, Xan wraps their legs around my waist, grinding against me. It feels incredible. “Good. Now, let’s get to the mutual orgasms.”
Laughing, I press my lips to theirs, and what starts as a playful kiss quickly turns into something sexier. Xan moans into my mouth, and my entire body tingles. God, I want to hear that again. “Can I touch you? Are there any off-limits areas, or activities?”
“How about this? I know you won’t do anything I don’t want you to. So I’ll blanketly tell you that you can do whatever you want, and if I don’t like it and want you to stop, I’ll say so.”
I lean my forehead against theirs. “Yeah, okay. And same.“
When they raise their eyebrows, I laugh because it looks very strange from this angle. “I promise. If I feel any hesitation with what we’re doing, I’ll say something.”
“Then yes, you can touch me anywhere, and do whatever you’d like.”
Slowly, I smooth my hand down their torso as I roll onto my side, my heart beating like I’ve just run sprints. Xan’s an attractive person, but how have I missed how sexy they are? I brush my lips against theirs, gliding the tip of my tongue along the seam of their mouth. With a groan, Xan opens for me and I sink into the kiss, caressing their tongue with mine in slow, languid strokes as I slip my hand over their hip and brush my fingers along their cock. Xan gasps into our kiss as my thumb sweeps over their already leaking tip. That’s so hot. “You like this?”
“So much.“
They spread their legs apart and okay, that’s a clear invitation. I wrap my hand around them and with a firm grip, I begin a slow stroke. Xan moans and the sound goes right to my own aching cock. I ignore it to focus on Xan. I want them to feel so good. The best. I kiss them again, and this time they slide their hand into my hair, taking control of the kiss while they thrust into my grip. “God, Morgan. Yeah. Just like that.”
This is the point where I’d start sucking on nipples or slip my fingers inside my partner, but are those things Xan likes?
“Morgan.”
Should I try? Ask? Ask is probably the way to go.
“Morgan.“ Xan’s voice is full of amused exasperation.
I blink down at them, pausing my hand and my brain. “Yeah?”
“You’re overthinking.“
They comb their fingers through my hair and I lean into their touch.
“Sorry. I’m messing this up.”
They shake their head. “You’re not. But since I’m used to partners with the same anatomy, mind if I take the lead?”
Sagging with relief, I kiss them quickly on the lips. “Please. I promise, I’m really into this. Like you said, I’m just overthinking.”
Grinning, Xan pushes me onto my back and straddles me, taking my cock in their hand. “Oh, this is a pretty big indication that you’re into this.”
They stroke my cock and I close my eyes, groaning with relief. “Hell yeah.“
They adjust their position and I gasp, my eyes flying open as they press their cock to mine and wrap us both in their grip, stroking firmly. “Oh, shit.” I grab a pillow and stuff it under my head so I can watch without straining my neck. “That’s so hot.” I want to thrust, but their weight is keeping my hips pinned to the bed. That makes my cock leak even more.
I glance up and catch Xan watching me. “Good?”
“So, so good.“
How is this so much better than being jerked off solo? I drop my gaze back to our cocks, and fuck, we’re both leaking precum like it’s on tap. I get that tingling behind my balls and moan. “Not there yet, but soon.” Xan thrusts their cock against mine and I grab their hips, helping them rock forward, because this feels too good not too. “I love feeling you rub against me. It’s so damned hot.”
“Then you’re going to love this.“
They let go of our cocks, and no, I most certainly don’t love this. I groan in protest, but then Xan presses their chest to mine and slowly rolls their hips on top of me, grinding our cocks together in a different way.
“Oh, shit.“
I grab their ass and pull them closer as I thrust up against them. “This is like dry humping as a teen, only we’re naked, and self-lubricating.”
Xan bursts into laughter. It’s low and kind of dirty, and a bit of a turn-on. “This is so much better than dry humping.”
“Fair.“
They circle their hips over mine, rubbing their belly against my cock, making slick sucking sounds in the mess between us. I swear this is the sexiest experience of my life. And I almost missed it.
Xan and I groan at the same time, and it gives me courage to slip my finger into the cleft of their ass and rub their hole. “Oh, fuck!“
Xan’s hips pick up speed, and they thrust their ass back against my hand, all while squeezing their eyes shut. “Fuck, I’m gonna come. Morgan!”
In this position, I can feel the pulse as they squirt cum all over my belly. It’s like they added the world’s best lube into the mix and the glide is even more incredible than before. “Xan, god, Xan I’m… I’m…“
My balls tighten like they’re being squeezed as my cock erupts over our stomachs, spurting cum everywhere in almost violent spurts. I roar through my orgasm, squeezing Xan’s ass probably too tightly before I finally collapse onto the mattress. Jesus. I’m bone-weary, but absolutely sated. Although I’m gasping for air, I manage to get words out. “That was the best orgasm of my entire life. Not even kidding.”
Something wet slips down my chin before Xan chuckles and wipes it away. “Unless you usually shoot so hard you hit yourself in the face with cum, yeah, I’d say you aren’t exaggerating.“
They lean down and kiss me, slowly teasing their tongue along mine before sitting up again. “And yeah. That was beyond incredible.”
Slowly, I force my eyelids open, unsure when I closed them, and gaze into the face of my best friend. The person I’m in love with. “Hello.”
They grin down at me. “Hello. How are you feeling?”
“Amazing. Perfect. Wonderful. Sleepy.”
They bite their lower lip and hold my gaze. “No regrets?”
I shake my head. “God, no. None at all. Okay, I might be regretting that it took me so long to figure this out. We could have been having mindblowing sex for seventeen years.”
Xan laughs, and their entire body relaxes. “Okay, good. And all things in their own time.”
“Xan?”
They raise their eyebrows. “Yeah?”
“How do you feel about spending the rest of the cruise in this bed?”
They laugh and lean down to sprawl across me. “I think that’s a perfect idea.”
