Chapter 18
Eighteen
Keoni
Zephyr was always so confident, even when he'd been struggling with the Sanctuary, even when he'd had no idea how to fix it. Yet, in here, when it was just the two of us, he was always so... unassertive. He let me take the lead, even though I was centuries younger and had none of his experience.
It made me even more curious about his request, and there was no way I would say no to him.
"What would you like to try?"
He bit his lower lip, then glanced from me to the bed.
Taking my hand, he walked over to the bed, then settled on the edge.
Like this, the top of his head reached my chin, since his bed was lower than I remembered.
He'd changed it for my sake, I was pretty sure, though he hadn't mentioned it.
That was just how he was, wasn't it? Quietly taking care of everyone without ever asking for anything in return.
It was one of the reasons why I wanted to give him everything.
All thoughts in my brain crashed to a halt as Zephyr leaned forward and ran his tongue over my nipple.
"Fuck!" I exclaimed, stepping back in surprise. Zephyr's hand in mine was the only thing that kept me tethered to him, and I shot him a wide-eyed look as my skin heated up. "That felt..."
"Good?" he asked hopefully, and I swallowed hard.
"Yeah, I think so. It was intense," I admitted, and he hummed.
My nipples had always been sensitive, but they'd never felt quite like this. The slight brush of his tongue had reverberated through my whole body, and my skin was warmer than it'd been moments ago.
"Let's get into bed first," I murmured, mostly because I had a feeling my legs wouldn't be able to hold me up much longer if I let him continue.
Zephyr smiled, then slid back on the bed as I climbed in beside him. I lay on my side facing him, my lower half spread out behind me, and Zephyr met my gaze, his blue eyes soft and dark with desire.
I closed the distance between us, pulling him into a soft, unhurried kiss as I placed my hand on his shoulder, then slid my palm lower as skin turned to warm metal. His fingers twitched against mine, and I gave them a squeeze before moving my hand to his hip.
Zephyr pulled back with a gasp, his eyes dark, his lips wet and pink. I kissed him again, unable to resist, and he groaned low in his throat as he kissed me back. He slid his arm around my waist, tugging me closer as the kiss deepened.
Kissing Zephyr was like discovering my favorite book in the library and like getting to run for the first time combined. It was safe and warm and exhilarating, and I never wanted it to end.
But Zephyr pulled back with a huff, twinkles in his eyes, and grumbled, "Stop distracting me!" and I remembered where things had been headed before.
Smiling, I placed a peck on his lips but refrained from kissing him deeper, holding myself back as he loosened his arm from my waist and slid lower until his face was in line with my nipples.
He trailed warm, metallic fingers over the hardened nubs, and I sucked in a breath.
While the metal was warm, my skin was hotter, and it felt cold against my nipples.
"You're so sensitive," Zephyr murmured, something like awe in his voice, and I groaned as he leaned forward and ran his tongue over one nipple, his fingers playing with the other.
"Fuck, you sound so good." His lips brushed against my nipple as he spoke, and I jerked back instinctively, the pleasure searing through my skin like a bolt of lightning.
Though I'd known how sensitive my nipples were, I'd never played with them. I hadn't seen the point of it when I couldn't get hard or come, but I was rethinking that now. This felt amazing, and I didn't need to come to enjoy it.
"Zephyr, your mouth feels so good. Don't stop," I ordered once I caught up, and Zephyr made a soft sound against my nipple as he redoubled his efforts.
He sucked me deeper into his mouth, his tongue teasing my nipple as the wet heat of his mouth surrounded it.
I slid my fingers into his hair, holding him there, as I lowered my other hand to his ass.
I squeezed, and he moaned against my chest as he pressed closer, his hard cock knocking against my thigh.
"Other one now," I murmured, and he switched to the other nipple. The air felt cold against my spit-wet nipple, and I shivered. Zephyr's mouth on my other nipple distracted me from the sensation, and I groaned as his teeth scraped against my sensitive skin.
As he sucked on my nipple, I moved my hand to Zephyr's cock, squeezing it lightly as I slid my hand up and down his hard length.
His lips parted on a moan as he thrust into my hand, and I released him.
"Keoni!" he protested, and I waited until he looked up to raise a brow at him.
"Did I say you could stop?" I asked, and his cheeks flushed darker as he shook his head.
Without a word, he ducked back down and took my nipple into his mouth, sucking for all he was worth as I wrapped my palm around him again.
I jerked him off slowly, content to enjoy the way his mouth felt against my nipples. I felt like I could do this for hours, just lie here as Zephyr played with my nipples. I might do just that one of these days, but today had been one hell of a day, and Zephyr needed his rest.
Still, I wasn't ready to let him go just yet.
Zephyr
Keoni was torturing me, and I was enjoying it way too much.
There was something novel about being at his mercy, about disregarding my own pleasure and focusing on his.
It was different from taking care of everyone else while ignoring my needs because at that moment, I knew Keoni would take care of me. All I had to do was focus on him because he was focused on me.
His grip was firm around my cock, but it was in the background of my mind.
I licked Keoni's nipple, the previously light pink color now flushed to a much darker shade, the skin around his areola just as dark.
I scraped my teeth over the sensitive nub, and Keoni flinched, then groaned low in his throat.
I loved hearing the sounds he made, loved knowing I was the one making him sound like that.
"Switch back," he said, and I moved my attention back to the first nipple.
I bit it gently, then tugged, stretching his skin as he made another wonderful sound before slowly releasing the nipple.
I licked it gently, relieving some of the ache, then sucked it into my mouth.
I felt like I could fall asleep like this, just sucking on his nipple, and I wasn't sure what that said about me.
I'd lived a long life, and I knew there were certain kinks attached to this, but I'd never had any interest in any of them. Of course, I'd always imagined myself in the dominant role, so maybe that was why. Either way, I didn't plan to bring that up anytime soon. This was all I needed.
Keoni squeezed my cock tight, and I jolted, almost biting his nipple as I jerked back in time. I'd almost forgotten about my cock, about how turned on I was, but now that my brain was online again, I pressed myself into Keoni's hold, begging silently as I returned my mouth to his nipple.
"Do you want to come, Zephyr?" Keoni asked, and I moaned against his skin, pinching his other nipple between my fingers. "I'll take that as a yes. You're so good to me—of course I'll let you come."
Keoni started jerking me off, his palm slick around my length. When had he grabbed the lube? How had I not noticed it?
I thrust into his hand, but he stopped moving, and I released a frustrated groan against his nipple. I took the hint, though, and kept my hips in check as he started moving again.
He hadn't told me to, but I switched nipples anyway, using my right hand to play with the right one as I sucked the left one into my mouth.
I was glad I could do this, give Keoni even a small taste of the pleasure he made me feel.
I wished it was his cock I was sucking instead—though I had to wonder if that would've been physiologically possible at all—but I was enjoying this too.
As long as Keoni enjoyed it, I didn't care what we did. I just wanted to make him feel good.
I could feel my climax racing closer as Keoni's hand moved over my length, and I continued playing with his nipples, wanting to do it for as long as I could.
I slid my left hand down his side, over his waist to his warm, fuzzy back. I hadn't touched his lower half much, mostly casual touches, but I wanted to explore it all someday. I wanted to touch every inch of him, human or horse.
"Fuck," I gasped out against his skin, and his hand stopped moving. I bit back a whine, then glanced up at him.
"Are you close?" he asked, voice soft, eyes dark and heavy, and I nodded.
Without a word, he pushed me onto my back and slid lower, adjusting his big body until his face hovered over my cock.
I knew what he was going to do, but a gasp still escaped my lips as he lowered his head and swallowed me in one swoop.
His lips tightened at the base of my cock, and I gripped the sheets as I forced myself to stay still, knowing he'd pull off if I tried to move.
It didn't take long for me to reach the edge, and I shouted Keoni's name as I came, filling his mouth as I shuddered and shook under him. His grip on my hip kept me from pushing deeper into his mouth as he swallowed my load, and I blinked against the sudden darkness that filled my gaze.
Fuck.
We caught our breaths for a few minutes, Keoni resting with his head on my stomach, my spent cock lying inches from his face. He gave it a little pat-pat before sliding up in bed.
Leaning up on an elbow, he watched me with bright, twinkling eyes as his lips curled into a soft smile.
"Hey," he murmured, and I smiled back as my gaze drifted from his face to his pink, swollen nipples, and I licked my lips. I'd never thought nipple play could be that fun, especially on the giving side.
"I take it you enjoyed that," Keoni said as he reached up to push a few strands of hair off my forehead.
I hummed, not quite sure I'd be able to speak just yet. Keoni grinned, then cuddled into my side. He threw an arm over my stomach and pressed as close as physically possible, and I covered us with the blanket with a wave of my hand.
"Mmm, let's sleep. We've got a long day of doing as little as possible tomorrow," he joked, and I smiled as I pressed a kiss into his wild hair.
Under the blanket, I quickly removed my arm and stretched back to place it on the nightstand, and Keoni snuggled closer the moment I settled back down.
It didn't take long for me to drift off, warm, sated, and in the arms of the man I was without a doubt falling for.
