Acts of Service

When Alex was nicely stretched, not to mention wiggling his ass around enticingly, Tom rolled on a condom. As he poured on lube, he asked, “Preferences?”


“Got it.” He teased around Alex’s hole with the head of his dick. “I did mention how hot you are, right?”


Tom eased his way in slowly, with appropriate pauses so Alex could adjust. Finally he could go no further, and Alex relaxed around him.


“So ready,” said Alex, rocking back on Tom’s cock. “Can’t you tell?”


He picked up the pace, fast enough to be fun but not so speedy they would be done too soon. For his part, Alex found a nice bouncing rhythm.


It was obvious when they lined up just right. Alex yelped out, “Ohyesthere,” all one word like he needed to get the whole command out before Tom got too far away.


Tom didn’t want to get ahead of themselves into ‘have to come right now’ territory. Maybe Alex guessed that, because he said, “I can take it for a while. Please.”
