Christ, Lee was nervous. Maybe, a little. It wasn’t like Alex would rate the experience on a scale of one to five afterwards, with a detailed assessment of how Lee compared to his previous lovers.Still.

Alex grinned at him. “Are you waiting for an engraved invitation?”

“Shut up,” Lee told him sweetly, and then proceeded to ensure that Alex did by sliding down the sofa so he could get his mouth on Alex’s cock. As it turned out, Alex could be convinced, although he switched to mumbled obscenities along with Lee’s name. In the quiet morning air, even Alex’s hushed voice seemed loud, a marked difference from being locked away in their hotel room in Spain.

Lee took his time preparing Alex, liberally coating his fingers with lube, until Alex moved into each touch, gentle gasps and sighs. “Today, if you will?” he complained eventually, and just for that, Lee dragged it out for another couple of minutes before he removed his fingers and shifted up to kiss Alex, heart twisting a little at how Alex turned into it immediately, clutching Lee’s shoulders like that was his anchor.

“Roll over?” Lee asked once they drew apart, and Alex grinned, cheeks flushed.

“Finally.”

Lee grinned back. “Oh, excuse me for wanting to make this a pleasant experience for you.”

“Apology accepted.” Alex turned around and reached for a pillow, glancing at Lee over his shoulder. “I got tested, by the way. All negative.”

The view was … ah.Distracting, to say the least. Which was why it took Lee a second to decipher Alex’s meaning. Once he did, he draped himself over Alex’s back and wrapped an arm around him, kissed the nape of his neck.

“Same. Been a while since I did a test, but you’re also the only one I’ve been with since then, so…”

Alex twisted around to meet Lee’s eyes, the gentle smile that played around his mouth at odds with his brisk tone. “Good. Keep it that way.”

“I intend to,” Lee said softly.

“Good,” Alex repeated, much quieter now.

It felt big, the golden morning light spinning out around them and Alex in Lee’s arms, time on their side for once. When Lee lined himself up, he did so with one hand on Alex’s back, slow and steady, forcing himself to focus on Alex rather than how fuckingamazingit felt, tight heat, easy drag,God.

Eyes half-lidded, Alex reached back with one hand to grab Lee’s arse and urge him forward. “Not my first time,” he mumbled, voice deliciously rough around the edges, and hang on,hang on.

“But you just said—”

“Marco bought me a dildo.” Alex followed it up with a bright glance that said he knew exactly what he’d just done because Jesus, images. While Alex had mentioned he’d told Jeff’s brother, he’d left out the bit about Marco apparently turning into a sex toy peddler.

Lee stilled his hips, just breathing, breathing. “And you’re telling menow?”

“Thought it might drive home the point that I’m not a fragile flower.”

Oh, fine. If that was how Alex wanted it? Lee could take a hint. He shifted back a little before he pushed back in, one smooth glide that made Alex exhale in a rush, head dropping forward.

“Good?” Lee asked, flush against Alex’s arse, hands on Alex’s waist, and oh God, yes, it was—it wassogood. But this wasn’t about Lee. Or, no, it was—but not primarily, not in this very moment.

Alex adjusted his position just slightly, spreading his thighs further. “Do that again.”

Well, who was Lee to deny him?

“This?” Lee asked and followed it up with a roll of his hips. Alex moved with him, moved into it—deeper, and Lee didn’t quite succeed in stifling a groan.

“This,” Alex confirmed, sounding just a hint smug.

Okay then. Allright.

This time, Lee didn’t hold back—held onto Alex’s waist for a thrust, and then another, Alex meeting him each time. This,yes, and they found a rhythm, sweet curl of heat in Lee’s stomach but not yet, not like this. He wanted toseeAlex.

Alex made an offended little noise when Lee pulled out, all protest immediately forgotten when Lee drew him up into a kiss. They pressed together, Alex’s fingers digging into Lee’s biceps, open mouths and harsh breaths, cicadas humming in the nearby grass.

“On your back,” Lee said, only to move right back in for another kiss.

It took some manoeuvring so Alex had space to roll over, a pillow under him that would need a wash after. Who the fuck cared, though? Not Lee, that was for sure. All he cared about was the way he fit against Alex just perfectly, how Alex’s body welcomed him right back in. The brightness in Alex’s eyes and Alex biting his lip as he started working his own cock. It wasn’t all new, maybe just a natural extension of what had come before—but it felt different out here in the light, no need to be quiet because there was no one else around.
