Christ, the man was good at that. Noah pumped his hips, the tip of his prick swallowed down the back of his lover’s throat. He already teetered on the edge, his balls already tingling and ready to explode. He wouldn’t watch Cooper get off without almost getting there himself.

He threaded his fingers through Coop’s hair, losing himself in the wet, hot suction of his mouth.

“So good. You are so fucking good at that, baby.” Noah growled, reaching for Cooper when the man’s mouth pulled off of him. But then… “Ahhh. Yeah. That’s it.” A wildfire spread through him at the feel of Cooper’s tongue lashing at his hole. Even though Coop had found he loved receiving, this was the first time his tongue had ventured there.

Noah spread his legs wider, giving Cooper better access. He didn’t push in but this was enough for Noah.

He grabbed his own erection and began to stroke but then Cooper’s hand batted him away. “It’s mine. Let me do it.”

Christ he loved the sound of that. “Then do it. Make me come, baby.”

And Cooper did. He continued licking at Noah’s pucker. Slow and hard. Quick and light. While his fist pumped up and down Noah’s length. “Close… so fucking close.” He gritted out, eyes closed. The heat spread throughout him, his whole body sensitive and alive to every touch.

He fought to hold it off, to do anything to keep the sensual assault going as long as he could, but the faster Cooper stroked, and the seductive, overwhelming feel of his wet tongue, was too much. Noah burst, his body tensed, cried out as he came all over his own chest. “You are going to be the death of me.” He grabbed Cooper and pulled him up higher.

Cooper went down beside him, one of his arms flung over Noah’s chest. “It’s good, isn’t it?” he asked, cockily.

Noah rolled his eyes. “Yes. Incredible.”

Cooper grinned up at him. “I’m good at this gay-sex thing.”

“You’re a big head is what you are.” He laughed, but Cooper didn’t.

“I’m being serious. It’s…right. I don’t know if that’s because it’s with you or, hell, have I always been gay and just didn’t realize it? Or bisexual, I guess but even that…the sex, no not even just the sex, the connection was never like this with a woman.”

It’s me…I want it to be because it’s me. Which was extremely selfish of Noah but he couldn’t help it. Coop was his, and he wanted so much for Coop to want to keep him, too. For him not to care about what anyone else thought, so everyone could know they belonged to each other.

“Maybe, it’s because I’m just that good?” Noah tried to lighten the moment. It worked as Cooper’s body vibrated in laugher against him.

“And you say I have a big head.”

They were quiet for a few minutes before Cooper spoke again. “I need to talk to my aunt and uncle… Let them know I won’t be around this weekend. Autumn will no doubt invite me over. She always does.”

When they were kids, Noah had loved Cooper’s aunt. She was always baking for them. She treated Noah the same as she did Cooper. And though Vernon had always been a hard man, they’d had fun with him. He was always taking Noah along with he and Coop, as a kid. Fishing, camping—he’d felt like he belonged with them. “I’d love to see them, sometime.”

Coop tensed against him.

“I’m not saying you have to tell them yet, Coop. We’re still new. I can wait a little while. I just…I missed them too, when I left. I’m actually surprised Autumn hasn’t spoken to me yet. She was always like that. She used to invite me to dinner almost every night, even without you having to ask.” Noah smiled at the memory.

“Yeah…yeah, I know they want to see you too. We’ll plan something, soon.”

Noah hit the light on the bedside table, his eyes suddenly fighting to stay open. He didn’t care that he was a mess from their lovemaking. Noah squeezed Coop, let himself start to drift off, with the one man with whom, he ever truly felt like he belonged.

The second the car came to a stop in their driveway, Cooper opened the door.

“Where are you off to in such a hurry?” Aunt Autumn asked. The smile on her face said she already knew.

“I’m gonna go over and talk to Noah. I want to tell him about the game.” Cooper had spent three days with his aunt and her family. Uncle Vernon didn’t go this time and he didn’t know why. But Autumn’s brother had brought him to his first NFL game. It had been the coolest thing Cooper had ever done and he couldn’t wait to tell Noah about it. He knew his best friend would think it was just as cool as Cooper did.

“Don’t be too long. I’m sure your uncle wants to hear all about the game, too.” She ruffled Coop’s hair.

“Thanks, Autumn.” Cooper bound out of the car, slamming the door behind him. He ran to Noah’s house. It was technically next door, but his aunt and uncle had a little bit of property, so he had to jog about a block down the road.

The little, white house was dark when he pulled to a stop, out front, out of breath. Noah’s parents’ car was gone, but Noah had told him he’d be here when Cooper got home. He knew his best friend would have done everything to stay home and his parents weren’t really the type to make him go somewhere with them if he didn’t want—which he usually didn’t.

“Noah!” He called as he fist came down on the front door. When he did, it pushed open slightly, not having been closed all the way. “Noah, it’s me. Get you butt out here!” He yelled again, not wanting to just go into the house.
