Page 72 of Poles Apart
Jacob stirred next to him and murmured in his sleep. Dom was tempted to wake him up and carry out his promise from last night but decided they should sleep a little longer. They’d had a long day yesterday, and he knew Jacob was drained from last night. It had taken it out of them both, Jacob especially. It seemed that Jacob had other ideas, though, because he reached for him, putting his arm around his waist and pulling Dom on top of him. He could feel his hardness beneath him. It felt so good.
“Good morning. I can’t believe you’re still here, and we slept all night.” Jacob swept Dom’s hair from his eyes. The gel he’d used last night had given up the ghost, and his usually spiked hair had now drooped, falling over his forehead. “You’re so beautiful in the morning. I love seeing you like this.”
“Mm, you’re pretty damn fine yourself, toastie boy,” he said, dropping a kiss to the end of his nose. “I like waking up next to you, you’re all warm and cuddly, but we should open the window now, though. It’s like a fucking sauna in here.”
“You’re probably right. What time is it anyway? Is it early?”
When Dom looked at his phone, he was surprised to see it was much later than he’d thought.
“It’s after ten! Shit, I thought it was only about eight. We should get some breakfast; I’m starving.”
“I can think of something you could eat,” Jacob declared with a mischievous look on his face. He wiggled his hips, and his cock rubbed enticingly against Dom’s.
“I like the way you think; pretty sure I have something similar to fill you up.” Jacob’s soft lips looked all kinds of tempting, and he leaned down to kiss him, cupping his jaw as he did so. They lost themselves in each other’s kisses until Dom didn’t know where he was. And at this point, he didn’t really care.
An hour later, they finally emerged from the bedroom, fully sated and ready for food. Jacob laughed as Dom had to roll up the legs on the sweats he’d lent to him, teasing him for being a short arse. Dom had pouted, and Jacob had apologised, but by the smirk on his face, Dom thought he wasn’t that sincere at all. He didn’t mind too much, though, when Jacob decided the best way to cheer him up was to kiss him within an inch of his life and steal his breath, leaving him panting and wanting more.
Too soon, it was time for him to leave. Jacob needed to collect Abby from her sleepover, but Dom knew last night had been a turning point in their relationship. They’d made love for the first time and it had been everything he’d hoped. He was still surprised Jacob had let him do what he wanted, and he knew that next time, Jacob would be open to more suggestions. Dom enjoyed being in charge, and it seemed Jacob was more than happy to go along with it. Not quite submission, but he had a feeling it was something they could explore in time.
As Jacob drove him home, Dom rested his hand on Jacob’s thigh, a wistful smile on his face.
“I had a great time this weekend. Thank you for the picnic and the meal, even though the waiter was really pushing it with you.” He turned to look at Jacob and saw him grinning. “It wasn't funny. You were there with me. Dickhead’s lucky I didn’t say anything to him.”
“You had nothing to worry about. I told you last night, I was only going home with you and last night for me was... Well, let’s say it’s something I enjoyed, and maybe we could, you know, try something like that again?”
“Too fucking right we will, sweetcheeks. I’m surprised I lasted as long as I did.”
Jacob winked at him. “You didn’t hear me complaining.”
The conversation turned to other things, like what they had planned for the week ahead, and before they knew it, they were outside Dom’s place. He glanced over at Jacob, not quite knowing what to say.
“Call me? Let me know how you get on tomorrow morning?” he asked, trying not to sound too needy.
“Of course. Don’t I always?” Jacob asked, and he brushed his hand across his cheek. “I promise. I’ll call you.”
Dom nodded and turned to get out of the car. He grabbed his bag out of the back, walking towards the door of the apartment block. He turned and waved as Jacob drove away. Fuck, he was in so deep and a little bit scared.
He went to the flat and loudly made his presence known. Charlie had stayed over, and he didn’t want to interrupt the lovebirds. He needn’t have worried, though. Jordan was on his own as Charlie had left a little earlier. She was on shift later and had gone home to get ready.
“So, what did you think?” Dom asked as they sat with a cup of coffee.
“Of what?”
“You know what. Stop being an arse.”
“Oh, you meant what did I think of Jacob? Seemed like a nice enough bloke, but the poor guy was too self-conscious to be himself. Next time he comes around, don’t tease him so much. He didn’t know where to put himself.”
“Thatwasa little unfair of me, but I was pleased to see him, and he was definitely pleased to see me.”
His brother shook his head at him. “You don’t know when to stop, do you?”
“Nope, not at all.” He sat quietly for a minute, debating whether he should tell his brother how he was feeling, but before he could speak, his brother turned on the sofa to face him and took his hand.
“When will you tell him how you feel about him? Tell him that he’s the one you’ve been waiting for?” Dom went to protest, but his brother stopped him. “No, let me finish. You’re my brother, Dom, and even though you spent so much time away, this is what you’ve always wanted. I’ve heard you talk non-stop about him for the last how many weeks now? If I didn’t know better, I’d say my little brother was in love.
“I know you lived with that guy in Vegas, but I think that was all for show, an act if you like, to prove to yourself that you were worthy of love. But all that prick did was make you even more insecure than you were before.” Dom nodded. He had to agree with his brother.
Jordan continued. “When you came back, you looked after me all the time, and I saw the light that was always inside you slowly fade to the point I was worried for you. Yes, you went out, but all you had were one-night stands. I thought it might change once you met Seb, but when you only hit it off as friends, you became insecure again and would basically fuck anything that passed your way.”
