The Twisted Oak

Lance trembled and squeezed along his length through the denim, loving when Wade’s eyes fluttered shut for a moment and a small moan escaped his lips.

Putting someone else’s needs above his? And it had come to him so naturally. There was no forcedness. Lance truly wanted to make Wade feel better. To give him what he needed. The realization coursed through him like electricity and he palmed Wade, rubbing a little harder. “What do you need?” Lance repeated.
