“You okay, baby doll?”
A nod.
“I’m going to get you out of those ties now. I’ve enormously proud of you. You did very well.”
Another nod.
Moving up the bed, Carson released Sam’s wrist and rubbed feeling back in from shoulder to wrist. Then he repeated this with the left.
Sam continued to stare up at the ceiling.
“I’m going to go start us a bath.”
A third nod.
Carson wasn’t worried yet. Sam appeared blissed out and he would give his boy a little time to collect himself. After Rolling off the bed, he padded to the bathroom and to the tub. He started the water and tested the temperature, fiddling with the levers until it was perfect.
Checking out the impressive collection of bubble baths, Carson tested several scents before deciding on the milk and honey. It would be soothing. He poured in a full capful, the bubbles instantly growing, and waited until the tub filled.
He turned off the water then made his way back to the bedroom. As he expected, Sam hadn’t moved an inch. Carson went over to the side of the bed, bending down and lifting Sam into his arms.
“Come on, baby,” Carson cooed. “Let’s relax in a nice hot bath.”
A fourth nod.
Carson chuckled. For someone who loved to talk, Sam seemed to have lost the ability.
He didn’t set Sam down when they reached the bathroom and only after he’s stepped into the tub and began to sink down.
Settling Sam against his chest, Carson leaned back and soaked up the heat. He was an old man now, especially compared to Sam, and he wasn’t used to so much activity.
“You alright?” He brushed his fingers over Sam’s temples and down his cheeks.
A fifth nod.
“I need words now, baby. You need to use your voice.”
Sam smiled. “You blew my mind. I’m sort of just floating and don’t want to talk right now.”
“That’s fine. As long as you’re okay.”
“More than okay,” Sam told him. “You’ve ruined me for all other men.”
Carson liked the sound of that. “Then just rest here against me.”
“K.”
He didn’t mind the quiet and it would never be a hardship to hold his boy. Eventually the water grew cold, and Carson quickly rinsed them down before helping Sam out of the tub. Carson rubbed Sam dry then gave himself a quick pass with the towel. He wanted to get his boy into bed before he got chilled.
He led Sam into the bedroom to get Sam settled under the covers before going around to the other side and joining him. Sam tried to turn into his arms, but Carson pushed him onto his back before wrapping his arm around Sam’s waist. He scooted down to rest his cheek against Sam’s lower stomach and cupped his cock. Sam’s shaft didn’t respond but that was okay.
With Sam sprawled out on the mattress, Carson drew the tip of Sam’s cock into his mouth as he closed his eyes. He gently sucked enough to keep the cock in his mouth as he allowed his mind to drift, knowing sleep would come soon. He was exhausted.
Chapter Fourteen
Sam
While shifting to grab a cup, Sam’s cock gave a twinge at the angle he moved. He flushed and quickly straightened, grateful Adam and Caden weren’t around to notice. A comic book that Adam had been waiting for had been released so they’d left during the afternoon lull to get Adam’s comic book and lunch. The only customer there at that hour was Mickey who as usual had on his earphones while working on his laptop. It gave Sam plenty of time to get lost in his thoughts.
