Mitch

Nothing had been more meaningful or sexier in Calix’s experience.


He forgot all about preserving water. Forgot that anyone could come knocking at his door at any minute. Forgot everything except Mitch in this moment. More exactly, pleasing him in a grand way.


The second Mitch completed a quick scrub, Calix stepped under the spray then went to his knees. He ran his hands over Mitch’s belly and lower, finally wrapping his fingers around Mitch’s hard shaft. “Nice.”


Mitch looked down at him with an expression of lust mixed with anticipation. Calix wasn’t about to let him down.


He leaned in and licked Mitch’s cock from head to base and back again. A long lap of exploration intended to strum Mitch’s arousal as well as tease him for better things to come.


Mitch shut the water off as he balanced himself with arms braced against the shower walls. “Damn.”
