Page 11 of Sugar

“You don’t need to beg me, sweet thing. I’m all yours.” He sealed that promise with a kiss to Juno’s thick, hard shaft, and then he took him down in a single swallow.

For a man who claimed he hadn’t done this much, Piper sucked dick like a god. He took Juno all the way to the back of his throat without choking, then swallowed. Juno’s vision whited out, and his heart began to hammer in his ears as he fucked Piper’s mouth.

The fingers in his ass began pumping faster, and Juno only had a moment of warning before he was tumbling off the edge. He came hard, and Piper made a soft choking noise before pulling off. Juno had just enough clear vision to see come dribbling down his chin, and his dick gave another hard throb.

Swiping his mouth, Piper carefully pulled his other hand away, and Juno’s ass felt almost painfully empty. He began to shiver when Piper slid off the bed and walked away. The feeling was too intense, overwhelming, like he was slipping into a black pit that was going to suffocate him.

He managed to turn on his side, burying his face in the pillow as the heavy feeling in his chest overwhelmed him. He didn’t realize he was crying until Piper was wrapping around him, kissing the back of his neck.

“Hey. Hey. Oh, sugar, please come back to me. I’m so sorry.”

Juno blinked through foggy tears and sniffed. “Shit. No, don’t apologize. This wasn’t you.”

Piper looked unsure as he used his thumb to brush tears off Juno’s cheeks. “Was it too much?”

“Everything is too much,” Juno admitted. “I wanted to forget, but seeing your face…I don’t want to lose it. And I’m going to.” A dam broke, and Piper curled him close as Juno shattered apart with a silent, gut-twisting scream.

Juno swore his breakdown only lasted a few minutes, but as he opened his eyes, he realized it was darker than before. He panicked before seeing the glowing wall clock across the room and it told him that almost three hours had passed.

He was still curled against Piper, who hadn’t moved other than to grab his phone from wherever it had been, and he was smiling at his screen.

“Something funny?”

Piper jolted, then looked down at him. “My brother likes to send me kitten reels. He thinks I should get one to keep the dog company.”

“That’s a terrible reason to get a kitten,” Juno said, then stretched. He was slightly embarrassed about falling apart after what was maybe the best orgasm he’d ever had, but Piper didn’t seem bothered. He was relaxed and still smiling. “The only reason to get a cat is that they’re amazing.”

Piper laughed. “I’m learning to be a pet person. I never had the opportunity before, and I’m not even sure I want the responsibility.”

“But you want a service dog?” The words tasted ashy on Juno’s tongue because he might have to get one, too, someday. He didn’t hate the idea of having one. He hated knowing he’d need to.

Piper shrugged, reaching out and brushing fingers over Juno’s tangled curls. He was careful with them, careful not to tug or dislodge them from the way they were set. He tugged on a ringlet and smiled. “I’m on the list, but I’m on the fence. I don’t want to break a promise to my brother, though. I don’t think I could live with myself.”

Juno frowned. “You spend a lot of time making other people happy, don’t you?”

Piper blushed and glanced away, his shoulders hunched. Juno had always been a little too good at poking at people’s soft underbellies without realizing it until it was too late. But he didn’t take his question back. He had a feeling Piper was the kind of man who had been setting himself on fire to keep others warm for way too long.

“We forgot to eat,” Juno eventually said into the silence.

Piper blinked, then laughed softly. “Yeah. I got up for a few minutes and put the burritos away so we could reheat them after you woke up.”

Juno rolled onto his back and stretched. He was gloriously naked, and he felt oddly free. He’d never felt like that with another lover before. He looked up at the ceiling fan and realized he couldn’t see the light fixture unless he closed his left eye. His stomach twisted. Was that another blurry spot, or…?

His eyes watered, and his vision cleared.

“Why’d you let me sleep so long?”

“Because you finally looked like you were at peace.” Piper touched Juno’s chin and leaned down to kiss him before sliding to the edge of the bed. “Feel free to use the shower if you want. And I have sweats if, um…”

“If?” Juno pressed.

Piper took a step, then turned back to face him. “If you wanted to stay over.”

He did. God, he did. He wanted to fuck Piper again without falling apart. And he wanted to make sure Piper felt good too. “You don’t mind?”

Piper smiled and shook his head. “No, sugar. I definitely don’t mind.”

Sugar. God, he really, really liked when Piper called him that. He smiled and let the man steal another kiss before he walked away.
