“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Did I hurt you? What’s wrong? Talk to me,” Luke said. My eyes were closed, but I knew his face was in front of mine. I could feel his breath, and then his hand caressed my cheek. “I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
“I know,” I croaked out. “Too horny. I wanted it so badly. Went too fast.”
I attempted to control my breathing. The pain was finally going away. I unclenched a little at a time.
“I’m so sorry. You said-”
I finally opened my eyes. “It’s fine, Luke. I thought I was ready. I was wrong. We’ll use more lube next time. Go slower.”
Luke looked crushed, like he was about to cry. “You’re really okay?”
“Don’t beat yourself up. I’m okay. It was our first time.”
“And I hurt you.”
“It wasn’t on purpose. You did everything right. I rushed it.”
He still didn’t look convinced.
“Luke, for the last time, I’m okay. I just need a few minutes.”
Who knows how long we lay there? Face to face, Luke cradled me in his arms as he brushed his fingers through my hair repeatedly. I wiggled down so I could snuggle closer to his chest. I felt my breathing slow until it reached a steady, relaxed pace. The pain back there was subsiding.
I broke the silence. “If you’re still upset, you know, my cock is always available.”
I felt his smile against my forehead. The torn expression on his face vanished.
It was sweet he was concerned, but I could only say so much to convince him I was truly alright. Maybe offering him my cock would pull him back to the moment?
He pushed off the bed and tossed the covers back. Like an eager puppy, he knelt between my legs, staring at his treat. I put my arms above my head to watch the show.
“This is going to be the blowjob to end all blowjobs,” Luke said, an almost solemn expression on his face.
“Uh...no. I don’t want the blowjobs to end, so make it good. But not like all-blowjobs-will-end good.”
True to his word, it was the best blowjob he had given me. I’m shocked I didn’t break his jaw with the force of my orgasm. Luke finished himself off with his hand, blasting all over the comforter. He wiped it up with his t-shirt.
“Let’s shower. I wanna get all this lube off my ass,” I said. “Then we can snuggle before bed and discuss where you came up with your gala striptease idea.”
“Me? What about you? I wasn’t the only one that removed clothing.”
I slapped his ass as I passed him on the way to the bathroom. “Maybe I added that because of you.”
As I woke up, I felt firm muscles around me, and warmth under my cheek. I sighed. “This feels nice.”
“Yeah?”
“I love waking up with you.”
“For the first time in a week, we have a whole day with no gymnastics. What are we going to do?”
I thought about that for a bit. “We could stay in bed all day?”
Luke groaned, then shifted his body a little. My head was resting against his stomach now, instead of his chest. “That is an option.”
With the shift, I could feel his dick against my chest. I slowly dragged my fingertips up his leg to his hip, then over his stomach before wrapping my hand around its stiff goal.
Luke hissed through his teeth and bucked into my hand.
“You can’t get enough of me, can you?”
Luke chuckled. “Nope.”
“I swear there must be a hidden vat of semen connected to you. That’s why you have an endless supply.”
“Definitely. I don’t go anywhere without my vat of semen.”
I released his dick and playfully slapped him on the stomach. “So, what did you have in mind for today?”
I shouldn’t have been surprised when Luke suggested the zoo. Inwardly, I scolded myself for not thinking of it, especially since our last zoo trip was my idea, and a cornerstone of our relationship. I may have had some things happening lately that excused my faux pas.
After asking if it was okay with me, Luke convinced the guys to come.
Again, Luke was in charge of the map and our leader, so he - I mean, we - could see every exhibit. I knew he liked to be in charge at the zoo. That hadn’t changed at all.
And despite the years apart, my love for him hadn’t either.
It was easy to slip into my old feelings.
Like putting on my ‘Born this cute’ rhino shirt and having it be just as comfortable as I remember.
I felt the same being with Luke. In public and in the bedroom, despite yesterday’s mishap. Something I hoped to remedy soon.
Not that I felt rushed by Luke, but I wanted to give him that. I knew what it felt like to be inside Luke. It was that feeling I wanted him to experience. With more preparation, it would work for me too. I had faith in future us, and I looked forward to it.
Even with our failed attempt at fucking last night, Luke was so attentive. And the lack of pressure when it came to sex made me want to please him even more.
The tiger area was a big hit with the group as well. It was one of the newer parts of the zoo. One tiger was pawing at some grass before it rolled over.
“I love when big cats do little cat things,” Luke said.
Ugh. My boyfriend is adorable.
He held my hand most of the day, which kept us side by side, and when he ran ahead when something excited him, he always looked back to find me and waited for me to catch up.
We were recognized a few times and stopped to take photos with our fans.
When we sat down for lunch, Luke and I had our own table. The other guys were a few feet away at another one.
“I’d like to take you out tonight,” Luke said.
“Out?” I asked.
“Like, on an official date.”
“Have we not done that?”
“Not like the date I’m planning.”
“So you have a plan?”
A coy smile played across his face before he corrected his expression. “I might.”
“I’d love for you to take me out tonight then.”
“What should I wear?” I asked Luke.
We were back at the hotel. Orion didn’t come back with us. I wasn’t sure where he went. Colton was in his room, probably talking to Zephyrus, and Alex was going to meet up with his family.
My mom texted earlier, wanting to meet up today, but I told her Luke was surprising me with a date tonight. I made plans to see her tomorrow.
“Find the nicest clothes you brought and wear them,” Luke answered through the bathroom door.
“My nicest clothes?” What the fuck are we doing?
We had showered together when we got back. Luke took his suitcase into the bathroom with him. He seemed really excited.
I rummaged through my bag, and found some grey dress pants, a skinny tie, and a slim-fit white button-up shirt. It looked like it could use an iron.
“Have you seen an iron around?” I called out.
“In the living room. The board folds out of the wall. The iron’s in the cupboard next to it.”
I slipped on a black jockstrap and took the shirt into the living room. I hadn’t noticed it before, but Luke was right. It was on the wall near the kitchen.
I heard a door open behind me, but couldn't see who it was.
“Whoa, it’s a full moon tonight.”
Colton.
“Jeez, Cam. Your ass is fine as cream gravy.”
I pulled the iron off the shirt and cocked my head. “Is that a compliment?”
He stared at me. “I like gravy. Seriously, do you do anything besides squats in the gym? You’re making me feel self-conscious about naked time with Zeph.”
“Oh please. He’s nuts about you.” I went back to ironing.
Colton came closer. “What’re you gettin’ all gussied up for?”
I smiled. “Luke’s taking me out on a date tonight.”
Colton whistled.
“That reminds me. Do you have any fancy dress shoes I can borrow?”
“For you, Cam. I might.”
I finished ironing the shirt in the time it took Colton to return. I unplugged the iron and left it sitting on the board. Turning to Colton, I-
“Whoa, the front’s even better.”
“Give me the shoes, you doofus. And you’ve seen me completely naked. This,” I gestured to my body, “is nothing new.”
Colton shrugged. “I’m just horny.”
“What’d you find for me?”
Colton held out some dark purple loafers.
“Nice.” I thanked him and took the shoes. “Ooh, soft. What is that?”
“Faux suede.”
“Didn’t have any cowboy boots?”
“Didn’t think you’d want those, stud. Have fun tonight. I’m gonna see what my family’s up to.”
I walked back into the bedroom.
Damn.
Luke was dressed, head to toe, in black. Black pants, black shirt, black jacket.
“You’re still naked?!” Luke said, glancing at his phone. “We have to leave in five minutes.”
“Well, thanks for the warning,” I said, jogging over to my pants. I hopped around, trying to pull them on as quickly as I could.
I buttoned up my shirt, as Luke said, “I hope it’s okay that we take the Tube. I figured it was since the doctor cleared you. You have a mask if you need one, right?”
“Yeah, that’s fine.” I looped my tie around my neck and managed a tight knot on the first try. “My mask’s on the dresser.” I slipped into Colton’s shoes. “I’m ready.”
“Yeah, you are. Damn it, Cam.” Luke stepped in front of me and caressed the side of my face before pulling me closer for a kiss.
I broke it off. “I thought we had to leave, like, now?”
“We have a minute.”
“No, no, no. I’m not running in these shoes. They look great, but I can already tell they’d slip off.”
“Don’t worry. They’re coming off at the end of the night, along with everything else.”
“Is that so?”
Luke nodded. “I’m a sure thing, handsome.”
“Embankment,” I said, saying the name of the Tube station out loud.
“He can read!”
“Shut the fuck up!” I said, shoving him as we left the train and headed for the escalator. “Where are we going?”
“The Embankment, duh.”
I gave him my best death glare.
“You’ll see soon enough.”
The city came into view as we emerged on the sidewalk. I couldn’t see any of the big landmarks, though there was an obelisk nearby with sphinxes around the base.
“Come on.” Luke grabbed my hand, and we waited for the signal before crossing the road. He pulled me off the other sidewalk and onto the pier, where a few others dressed equally fancy were waiting in line in front of a glass-walled boat. “Surprise!”
“I want to say ‘It’s a boat,’ but then you’d probably say ‘He has eyes,’ or something snarky.”
“Me? I don’t think I’d ever do that.”
“You can’t even say that with a straight face. What is this, a whale watch?”
