“I should have asked before,” he recalled, “but it slipped my mind. Have you slept with any men before? Just nod or shake your head.”

Nikita hesitated but ended up nodding once.

Ledger chuckled. “I wasn’t sure. You got hard for me so fast, from just a single touch. There was a good chance you were a virgin. Oh. Though I suppose you still could be, at least where it counts for us. Be more specific.” He widened his thighs and pulled Nikita in even closer, grinding up into his plush ass in the process. “Has anyone ever fucked your hole before?”

He gasped and almost lost the shirt in his mouth, clamping down on it at the last second just before he could.

Which was…kind of adorable, actually. Ledger liked that he was smart enough to know doing as he was told was the way to go here. Liked the idea of his little cat being eager to please, even if it was only because the alternative was a knife in the gut.

Ledger wrapped his hand around Nikita’s dick again, swirling his thumb around his crown. “Answer the question, Niki.”

He nodded again.

“This is fun. Let’s keep going. How many men? Nod once for every cock you’ve ridden.”

Nikita bobbed his head twice.

“That’s it?” The guy was going to throw his life away after only having slept with two people? Ledger couldn’t comprehend something like that, but then again, he got around, so…He probably wasn’t the best judge when it came to that sort of thing. “Were they any good at least?”

This one was clearly a bit harder for the poor guy to answer, and his pause lasted long enough Ledger found himself getting annoyed.

“I’ll simplify it for you,” he offered. “Did they make you come?”

Another nod.

Ledger started to stroke him, his hand gliding down the silky skin of Nikita’s dick, slicking precome over his thick member. He was a decent size, not much smaller than Ledger was, which was impressive, really.

“You ever stick this inside someone before?” he found himself asking, picturing what it might be like, Nikita’s body pinning someone else down, his dick driving into a warm, wet hole?—

His little cat shook his head, bursting the daydream instantly.

“You want to?” Ledger didn’t typically enjoy switching positions, and this wasn’t meant to be a reward but a punishment. Still, he couldn’t help but wonder aloud about Nikita’s preferences and if they were as solid as his own. The curiosity he had toward the other man might be unsettling to someone else, but he was used to welcoming his feelings, whatever they may be, whenever they came.

He liked Nikita?

Okay.

He’d play with him a bit, and then the novelty would wear off. It always did.

Nikita hadn’t answered him, and he’d tensed some.

“Ah, I won’t get mad about your reply,” Ledger reassured. “It wasn’t an invitation, don’t worry.”

He sighed around the material of the shirt and then shook his head.

Ledger continued to work his dick as he released the hold he had around his waist, trusting he wasn’t going to attempt to go anywhere. His other hand wiggled between them, slipping beneath the waistband of Nikita’s pants. The second his middle finger located his puckered hole, Nikita jerked against him.

“Relax,” Ledger shushed him and increased the speed of his pumping fist. “I know it’s probably hard to believe, but I don’t plan on hurting you, not so long as you continue to be good for me like you have been. Understood?”

He sniffled, but nodded.

“Are you crying?” Ledger leaned forward slightly, catching sight of the tear tracks down the other man’s face. He eased his finger into Nikita’s entrance, his cock straining in his jeans when he felt how tight Niki was. “Because you’re afraid or because you want to come?”

Nikita turned his head and risked glaring at him.

Ledger laughed. “Sorry. You’re right. That wasn’t fair of me. New question. You said you were prepared to die. But were you prepared to get fucked by the devil?”

He didn’t give him a chance to answer, shoving his finger in as deep as it could go before pulling it back out. The next time, he drove in two, wiggling them inside of Nikita to stretch him nice and good.
