any plan to escape, but he must have looked like he was about to do just that.
Noah took a deep breath. “I’ve never been better,” he whispered.
Alex swallowed hard. “Well then, should we see if we can make it mind-blowing?” He didn’t wait for a reply. “Fuck me, Noah,” he said.
It took a couple of moments for them to find a rhythm. A couple of moments of laughing kisses and bumping noses, awkward thrusts and fumbling rhythm. But once they did? It was fucking amazing.
For the first time in his life, Alex let himself get completely lost in the moment. Let the intimacy swallow him whole. The friction of Noah’s cock pumping inside him. His hands on Alex’s hips. Alex lifting himself up until the tip of Noah’s cock was barely inside him and slamming back down as hard as he could manage.
Alex leaned his palms on Noah’s chest, found the man’s nipple and rolled it between his fingertips, making Noah gasp and lose their rhythm, but only for a fraction of a second. Noah’s sighs of pleasure and gasps were like music to Alex’s ears.
Alex wrapped his fingers around his cock and started jacking himself off. If Noah’s expression was anything to go by, the man was close to the edge, and Alex didn’t want to be left behind. He’d already come once, but he was hard and ready again.
Noah pressed his fingers into Alex’s hips and angled his hips on the next thrust, seeking, pushing. Alex’s whole body tightened as Noah’s breath hitched. Every thrust hit Alex’s prostate. He wasn’t going to last much longer.
Noah was gasping for breath, muscles tensing as he seemed to try and hold back.
“Let go, baby,” Alex panted. “I’ve got you.”
“Alex!” Noah called out on the next thrust and slammed his hips up so hard that Alex almost lost his balance. Nothing else mattered anymore, only the sight of Noah basking in pleasure.
Alex stopped holding back. A couple of quick thrusts and his hand fisting his cock, and he was coming. His cock spurted weakly, but the pleasure of coming for a second time after a short while was even more intense. Drops of cum landed on Noah’s chest, and Alex marveled at them through the haze of his orgasm.
It took a long time for the aftershocks to start waning. Alex was draped over Noah’s chest. Noah’s cock had softened to a point that it started slipping out of Alex. Their chests were sticking together with cum and sweat, and Noah’s breaths tickled the hair by Alex’s ears.
Noah’s fingertips moved lazily over the ridges of Alex’s spine. Rain was still pounding against the window. It was dark and the only sound in the room was their combined breaths.
Everything felt perfect and painful at the same time. Like a moment of free-falling when you knew you were going to land on a sword.
Don’t do it. Don’t ask. Don’t poke. Just leave it alone and enjoy the moment for what it is—a blast from the past. In a couple of hours, you’ll get out of here and get back to your life.
But Alex had never been good at listening to good advice, especially when it came from himself.
The words were out before he could stop them.
“Why did you leave me?”

Noah’s hand stopped for a second, instinctively expecting for Alex to leave the bed. When that didn’t happen, he just kept caressing Alex’s back.
“I’ve asked myself that question every day for the last ten years,” he admitted quietly. “Well, I know why I did it, so I guess I’ve been asking myself if it was worth it?”
“And?”
Noah let out a heavy sigh. “I’ll tell you a story and let you make up your own mind.”
Alex stayed quiet in his arms, waiting as Noah tried to figure out where to start. How best to describe his life. Explain why he made the decision he did all those years ago. Since touching Alex had a calming effect, he kept running his hands over Alex’s bare skin, enjoying the sensation underneath his palms. “How much do you know about blood types?”
That made Alex raise his head and look at Noah with a frown. It seemed that question had been the last thing Alex expected to come out of Noah’s mouth.
“I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned it to you, but I’m not that sharp after sex, so throwing a biology test my way right now might not give you expected results.”
Noah took a lock of Alex’s hair from the
