“No rush. I’ll just sit here and admire you.”


Alex blushed, but made no move to cover up, which Tom appreciated. It gave him free rein to take in the lithe, relaxed body currently sprawled out on his bed.


It was more like three minutes before Alex summoned up energy, but when he did, nothing was held back. He pounced on Tom, kissing him while stroking his cock. By this point, Tom’s dick was more than ready for attention, and Alex realized that, because he moved for the condom.


Tom shook his head. “Just your mouth.”


“I can do that,” said Alex, and he did.


Even with the condom dulling sensation, it was obvious Alex knew his way around a cock. Tom lay back and enjoyed the ride for a minute, until Alex pulled off and said, “Feel free to thrust a bit if you want.”
