and smiled, ridiculously happy, butterflies dancing in his belly.
“I think we ate all the food,” Alex mumbled.
Noah placed a kiss on the nape of Alex’s neck. “I’ve got donuts.”
Alex perked up at that. He turned around, ready to get his hands on the contraband, but Noah blocked his path. Alex frowned and cocked his head to the side. “You’re in my way, Price.”
“Oh? See, there seems to have been a bit of a misunderstanding,” Noah said innocently as he rested his ass against the counter. “The donuts are for me.”
A predatory gleam appeared in Alex’s eyes in a flash as he looked between Noah and the donuts. He took a step closer. “I guess I’m going to have to help myself, then.”
His hand shot out, trying to grab the box, but Noah was expecting him, so he caught Alex’s fingers before he could reach his target.
“No cheating,” Noah admonished as he took the box and opened it, pulling out a chocolate donut. He kept his eyes on Alex as he took a deliberately big bite.
“So good,” he mumbled through the mouthful of donut. Noah licked his lips and regarded Alex. “I suppose I’d be willing to share,” he mused after he’d swallowed the bite.
“You would, would you?” The sparkle in Alex’s eyes made him look almost boyish.
“There’s a price, of course,” Noah added as he dragged his finger through the chocolate glaze and popped it into his mouth. Alex tracked the movement of Noah’s chocolate-covered tongue as Noah licked his finger clean.
It was kind of amazing to Noah how just a few days ago, he’d been pretty much a monk. His sexual experiences all came down to that one summer with Alex. After he’d broken things off with Alex, it had only been his own hand for ten years. By all accounts, the first time having sex with somebody should have felt awkward and uncomfortable, and it was to some extent. Noah was unsure of himself, knowing that Alex was leaps and bounds ahead of him when it came to experience, and that uncertainty followed him into bed sometimes, but just looking at Alex and seeing the desire on his face that was plain as day whenever he looked at Noah helped a lot with those feelings.
Everybody had their preferences when it came to sex, and it took some time to learn what the other person liked, but Noah found that if he just let go of the insecurities, the learning process itself was a lot of fun. It helped that Alex and he just naturally fit. Their bodies moved in synch like they were perfectly attuned to each other, anticipating what the other needed without words.
“What kind of a price are we talking about?” Alex stalked closer. “I’m a relatively wealthy man, I’m sure we can negotiate a fair payment.”
Clad only in a pair of loose sweatpants that hung low on his hips and nothing else, a look of determination in his gaze, he reminded Noah of a panther, graceful and beautiful to look at but also completely unpredictable.
“Oh, I’m not interested in money,” Noah said.
Alex stopped and smirked before he fell to his knees before Noah. The sound of the zipper being pulled down sounded deafening in the quiet kitchen. Noah’s donut fell on the floor and rolled somewhere.
“Perhaps we can come up with a different kind of arrangement, then,” he said as he pulled Noah’s pants down. Noah’s cock sprang free, bouncing against his abdomen. Already, moisture had gathered at the tip. Noah clutched the edge of the counter in a death’s grip not to fall down on his face as he watched Alex take hold of the base of Noah’s dick. Alex’s eyes connected to Noah’s as he very slowly pushed out his tongue and swiped over the head of Noah’s cock.
“Oh God,” Noah muttered.
“Nope, just me,” Alex said with a smug smile before he licked a strip over the whole of Noah’s length.
What followed was pure torture. Alex licked and sucked up and down Noah’s shaft, sensing with the precision of a surgeon when Noah was close to the edge, and each time he eased up on the sucking and the wonderful, wonderful pressure, pulling Noah away from the precipice, only to start pushing him back there in the next second.
“Alex, please!” Noah shouted when Alex had, once again, left Noah hanging.
“Make me give it to you,” Alex said in a low voice. He looked at Noah insistently. “Make me,” he repeated.
Noah blinked through the
