Malcolm chuckled as he rose. “Soon, baby boy.”

“Can I help it if you make me hot, Daddy?”

Malcolm patted Seth’s butt. “Flatterer. Come on, into the water with you.”

Seth let out a sensual groan as he lowered himself into the tub, then rested his elbows along the sides. Malcolm rolled up one of the hand towels, and tucked it behind Seth’s head.

“Now, close your eyes and relax, the same as when we do your regular shave.”

“Yes, Daddy.”

Seth did as he was told and, while Malcolm warmed the shaving cream in his hands, he took a moment to drink in the sight of Seth lying back, completely at ease. His beautiful boy, who was offering him his complete trust.

“You’ll feel my hands on you now.”

Malcolm carefully spread the foam on Seth’s face, wanting to get what was familiar to him already out of the way before venturing into new areas. Once he’d covered Seth’s skin to his satisfaction, he took the straight razor and dragged it across the stubble that had decorated Seth’s cheeks and jawline. He kept his movements slow and steady, giving Seth the opportunity to sink onto the sensations. This wasn’t a typical morning grooming routine.

Malcolm encouraged Seth’s chin up with his thumb, then rasped the blade up his throat in sure motions. Each slow scrape seemed to bring Seth into a deeper state of calm. He hated to disrupt the mood at all by asking Seth to change positions so he could reach other areas of Seth’s body, but he compensated for it by keeping his voice whisper soft and his movements slow. Even the lighting had been dimmed to add to the peaceful scene.

Seth giggled as Malcolm worked away at Seth’s armpits. He couldn’t help but laugh lightly. God, but he loved it when Seth’s features were bright and happy, not a drop of tension anywhere.

Malcolm gave Seth’s knee a gentle pat. “Rest your leg over the side. No need to hold it up—allow me to do all the work.”

As he removed the dark hairs, Malcolm made certain to re-lather Seth’s skin often. When he’d finished Seth’s limbs, all he had left was his groin, ball sac and hole. Malcolm allowed Seth a moment to rest in silence while he emptied the tub of the cooling water. Once the tub was almost empty, Malcolm started up the water again and closed the drain.

Malcolm tapped Seth’s hip. “Stand up, sweetheart. Let me get your front before I do your back.”

“M’kay.”

Seth’s voice was sleepy and perfect, exactly what Malcolm had been going for. He helped Seth to his feet, then kneeled before him.

“Rest your hands on my shoulders.”

After shutting off the taps, Malcolm carefully lifted Seth’s balls, scraping the blade across the sensitive flesh, careful to get every spot. He checked for smoothness, then worked on the other side. Malcolm turned his attention to the base of Seth’s cock and his barely visible happy trail. Since he maintained Seth’s groin area almost daily, there wasn’t much left for him to shave bare.

“Very good. Now on your knees.” Malcolm shout out an arm as Seth wobbled. “Careful. Let me guide you down to the mat.”

Since daily shaving was a consistent part of their ritual, Malcolm had invested a long time ago into an extra cushy bathmat to protect Seth’s knees. Once Seth was in position, Malcolm admired his boy, brushing his palm down the length of Seth’s spine from neck to ass. One of Seth’s most gorgeous features was his back, the way the muscles bunched and rippled beneath his smooth skin a wonder to behold.

Malcolm moved to the end of the tub so he could tend to Seth’s hole. Before picking up the razor again, Malcolm palmed Seth’s ass cheeks, spreading them wide to gaze at the perfect,almosthairless, dusky wrinkled hole. He swiped his tongue across Seth’s rim, teasing him with his tongue.

“Oh… Daddy…”

“Shh, baby boy. I just wanted a taste. We’re almost done in here.”

“Are we—?”

“Shh…” He stroked the small of Seth’s back. “Don’t think. Feel.”

Seth let out a long, soft sigh and Malcolm used a dab of lotion on Seth’s hold before scraping away a few stray hairs. He laid down the razor on the towel he’d set out and rubbed the pad of his thumb over Seth’s hole, gently working the rest of the lotion on the outside of his opening.

“Okay, sweetheart. Lie back in the bath while I clean everything up.” He helped Seth get situated. “Rest.”

Malcolm moved quietly around the room, careful to keep from disturbing Seth.

“There, all done. Open your eyes, baby.”

Seth’s lids fluttered for a second then he focused his gaze on Malcolm.
