“Feel free to suggest it any time.” Tom got the distinct impression Alex wasn’t the kind of guy who liked making advances much, and he could only hope to make it clear he’d welcome the chance.

Once you’d had a guy’s cock in your mouth a couple times, you got more in tune with his body. This had always proven true for Tom and continued to apply as far as Alex was concerned.


It wasn’t limited to the strictly sexual, either. Sure, he knew the way Alex’s thighs tensed up right before he came, and how his head lolled to the side when he was all relaxed after orgasm. That was obvious.
