“Come on, let me get up.”

“Let’s go back to sleep. Don’t leave the bed.”

“I’m awake. I can’t go back to sleep. If you don’t want to go, I can finish the final boss. It kicked my ass last night.” He tried to sit up again.

I held him tighter, moving over him, settling between his legs, and nestling my face by his neck.

He laughed lightly. “Atty, come on,” he said, but his words lost some of their strength.

“I don’t want you to leave. Stay here with me.”

He stopped struggling, his body relaxing into mine. “Well, that’s a horse of a different color. I’ll stay here with you.”

I kissed his neck, feeling the pulse of his heartbeat against my lips. I ran my hand under his shirt and up his side, tracing the lines of his ribs.

“Is that what you want?” His tone turned playful.

“I always want you.”

Noah nudged my chin to make me look at him. “Really?”

“It’s not like you’re forcing me into having sex with you, you know.”

“Alright, then you seduce me this time around,” he whispered.

I leaned back and kissed his neck, biting softly on the skin between kisses. Noah arched to the touch, a soft moan escaping his lips. My hand slid under his shirt and up his back, feeling the warmth of his skin. I let my weight drop on him just enough, like I knew he liked, and moved my hips against his. It felt like playing an instrument, knowing exactly which chords to hit to get him into it. He grew hard against me, and I smiled to myself. I knew how to take care of him here. I just needed to learn how to do it with the rest of him.

I knelt back on the bed and got his clothes off as he smiled up at me. Even as a bottom, Noah liked being in control. He loved calling the shots and telling me what to do, but he was into this too. I pulled my shirt off and watched him nod, his eyes traveling down my body appreciatively. I undid my jeans, stepped off the bed to remove them, and then stood for a second, letting him look at me. Noah tilted his head almost imperceptibly, running his tongue over his lip.

“Like that?” I whispered.

His eyes found mine. He gave me a lazy nod. I clasped his legs and brought him to the edge of the bed. He sat up and kissed me as I leaned down to him. I broke apart and pushed on his shoulders, getting him to lie on his front, his legs falling off the bed.

He breathed a little surprised laugh. “This is really hot. I like you like this,” he told me.

I dropped to my knees.

“Whoa, wait, what are?—”

I licked a stripe from his tailbone up to his lower back.

“Atty,” he let out weakly.

“Stay still.”

He huffed out a shaky laugh. I used my hands to spread him open and ran my tongue over him again, this time aiming lower.

Noah gasped and then groaned. “Fuck. Atty, wait,” he tried again.

But I pushed my hand on his tailbone, holding him still before moving closer and sucking on the furrowed skin.

“Oh, fuck,” Noah said loudly.

I kept alternating between licking and sucking, each time earning new sounds from him. He really liked this, even if he was trying to resist. He started pushing his hips back towards me. As I licked, I pushed my tongue against him. Noah practically screamed at that. I could feel his legs shaking.

“Oh my god, Atty, what the fuck?” He moaned as I kept doing it over and over.

I moved away to spit on him and worked a finger in as I reached for the lube. I started working him open, alternating between my fingers and my tongue. Noah sounded like he was on the verge of losing it. When I stopped feeling resistance, I got up from the floor, wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, and grabbed his hips, getting him on all fours on the bed.
