The Merger – 36

 

Josh was sitting on the sofa when Mike came back into the living room. He started to sit at the other end, changed his mind and dropped down beside Josh.

For a long moment they looked at each other then they were kissing—a kiss that intensified as they explored the tastes and textures of each other's mouth. Mike slid one hand under Josh's T-shirt—tracing the sharp planes and taut muscles of Josh's back—while his other hand remained cupped to the back of Josh's head, tangling in his hair to keep him from breaking the kiss. He shivered when Josh returned the favor, running his fingers the length of Mike's back—up then down again to the waistband of his jeans, sliding under it to the base of his spine, one finger touching the crack of his ass before pulling back.

"If we keep this up…" Josh whispered against Mike's lips as he broke the kiss.

Instead of replying, Mike grabbed the hem of Josh's shirt, pulling it up then off when Josh raised his arms. Seconds later, he'd removed his own shirt, tossing it aside. He ran his hands over Josh's torso, smiling. "Not bad for a skinny man."

"I'm not skinny," Josh protested. "Not as muscular as you but…" Josh's gaze raked over Mike, eliciting a wave of heat that went straight to Mike's groin. "I prefer to think of myself as lean."

"Lean it is, then," Mike managed to say as he enfolded Josh in his arms, initiating another kiss. It seemed to go on for an eternity until, panting, they broke apart. "Stay the night," Mike murmured.

"I…" Josh nodded. "If you don't mind me leaving at the crack of dawn."

"I think I can handle it." Standing, Mike held out his hand, pulling Josh to his feet when he took it.

They made it to the bedroom, pausing once to kiss again, then stripped each other of their remaining clothing before tumbling onto the bed. Another heated kiss followed. It ended when Mike gasped as Josh wrapped his hand around Mike's cock, one finger stroking the leaking slit.

Josh moved slowly down Mike's body. He teased it with his lips and tongue, with special attention paid to Mike's now-taut nipples. When he made it to Mike's cock, he looked up in question. Blindly, Mike opened the nightstand drawer, fumbled around then handed Josh a condom. Josh rolled it on then set to work, intending, Mike was certain, to drive him to distraction. Not that it will take much to get him there. He might have come too soon if Josh hadn't tightened two fingers around the base then eased back on tormenting his cock before releasing it from his hot mouth. Keeping his fingers where they were, Josh slid up Mike's body to kiss him. "Think you can restrain yourself long enough to get this"—he squeezed Mike's cock—"into me?"

"Maybe I want you in me," Mike replied, gripping Josh's hard member to pump it slowly.

"Oh, hell."

Mike laughed with delight. "Stop worrying. I don't."

"Thank God!" Josh exclaimed, releasing his hold to get onto his hands and knees.

Mike got the lube, liberally applying it to his sheathed cock and two fingers. He eased one finger into Josh, eliciting a slight gasp that turned to a low moan when Mike found and stroked his gland. He used his second finger to gently stretch him before pulling them out. After placing the head of his cock to Josh's entrance, he paused, rubbing Josh's back.

"Massage, later," Josh said, looking over his shoulder at Mike. "Screwing…now."

Mike complied, slowly inching into him. When Josh gasped, Mike rubbed his back again, murmuring, "Relax." Josh did, marginally, as Mike pushed deeper into him until his cock was fully enveloped, his balls touching the cheeks of Josh's ass. Then he paused again.

"I won't break, damn it," Josh grumbled. "I might go crazy, though, it you don't do something."

So Mike did. As it was their first time together, it took a few moments to find their rhythm. But when they did…

"That was pretty damned good," Mike said quite a while later, after he and Josh had sufficiently recovered from their orgasms to speak.

"It was," Josh agreed, giving Mike a lingering kiss. "But we can do better." He grinned, putting a finger to Mike's lips when Mike started to reply. "Not tonight, but soon."

"Whew. I don't think I've got it in me to do it again right now."

"I bet you could with the proper motivation," Josh replied. "Unfortunately, I need to get some sleep." He glanced at the clock radio. "It's one. I have to be up at six so I can get home, shower, change, grab some breakfast, and meet my client by eight forty-five."

"Better you than me. I'm going to sleep until noon."

"Yeah, rub it in." Josh curled up, his head on Mike's shoulder. "I'll try not to wake you…or not."

Laughing, Mike stroked his hair. "Go to sleep."

"I am. I am." Josh gave him a kiss, which Mike returned, and soon was sound asleep.

As he drifted off as well, Mike smiled. I think I'm in like…and maybe even in love. Too soon to tell, but maybe.
