“Ethan, the way you photographed me, you enjoy a man posing for you.”

“Yeah. Right now, I’d enjoy a man touching me.”

I pushed my ass out again, but Auris was already complying with my horny demands. He ran his fingertips up and down my belly, drifting deeper each time to stroke me at the base or cup my balls.

I did what I could to reach back behind me, but the angle was awkward, and he had his hip pressed against me already, his cock rubbing between my cheeks.

As he stroked and teased me, as he set my hole to quiver, I considered that I wouldn’t mind spending some time on prepping my ass tonight. Another one of the ex’s complaints had been that I wasn’t giving enough in that department, and that getting access to my ass only once a week wasn’t a fair demand in an exclusive relationship. He hadn’t wanted to hear that not everyone was a fan of regular anal sex.

Either way, I was a fan of it today, and I was about to broach the question of where Auris kept the lube when he started stroking my slick cockhead.

That chased all words right out of my mouth for a while.

“You look blissful,” Auris said, leaning over me.

I turned to receive a sloppy kiss from him, then gasped when he stroked me whole, using only my own slick for the job.

He was back behind me and positioning himself, and before I knew it, his cock was between my thighs, and he was moaning low as he started rocking his hips back and forth.

Well, that worked too, and I squeezed my thighs closed to make it as good for him as possible, delighted by how well he was jacking me while getting off himself.

“Feels so good,” I mumbled into the pillow and let my hand rest on his arm, the arm he was stroking me with.

“It feels amazing, my sweet. You feel amazing,” Auris said, his voice breathy and thin.

I buried my face in the pillow. Knowing I could leave a vampire even slightly breathless made me feel good about myself, confident. I rocked my hips back, eager to meet his next thrust.

“Yesss,” he said and shifted gears.

The slow strokes became faster strokes, the regular thrusts grew urgent. He had me coming in short order. I spasmed and screamed, only barely heard his groan when my muscles closed up and my thighs pressed even tighter. The mess he made between my legs moments later left me ridiculously satisfied. Even my own mess didn’t really bother me.

“Poor Gloria,” I said after a while.

“Gloria is a matchmaker by nature. She will be delighted next time she does laundry.”

“Geez, who says that? Please pay the woman a nice Christmas bonus or whatever.”

Auris chuckled and kissed my shoulder. “As you wish. She really will be delighted, though. Did you hear her suggest I “put a ring on it” when she was cooking your dinner earlier?”

I looked back at him. “You’re making that up.”

“I didn’t. I’m glad she still knows how to keep her voice down for human hearing.”

My cheeks heated, and I pressed closer to him. “Still. Bonus.”

“I promise, my sweet. Do you want to sleep now?”

“Depends. Can we stay like this until I fall asleep?”

The fire crackled when he didn’t immediately reply. “There’s nothing I’d love more,” he said finally.

Auris holding me close was the last I remembered of that day, and I’d learned that spooning was okay but spooning as a way of foreplay was something else. I decided I’d want more of that very soon.

When I woke the next morning, Auris wasn’t in bed with me. I stretched my body back into a state of awareness and rolled onto my back. I was… happy. Through the entire pandemic with a new scare on the news almost hourly, this was a point of calm. Of just being.

I found clean clothes and walked down the hallway only to find Auris sitting at the counter and typing away on his laptop, much like he had the day before.
