“Oh. Um.” Benny thought it over. “I dunno. I just do.” Would it be cool to start stroking his dick now? Probably not, right? Helio seemed to be really stressing over here.
“Elaborate,” Helio ordered through clenched teeth, kind of confirming the whole “stressing out” theory.
Benny leaned back on his hands on the bed, pleased when Helio’s gaze tracked over his body again. He was still pretty sure they’d be banging after this. Helio just needed a little reassurance first. “Well, you kind of let me do my thing, which I appreciate. I can be a little spacey, and some people try to…rein me in, I guess? You just let me be,” Benny told him, flashing Helio a smile so he knew how appreciated that was.
“And you’ve got a nice presence,” Benny added, warming up to it now. “It’s easy to be comfortable around you, even when you’re just standing there staring at me or whatever. You’ve got a soothing voice too.” He hummed for a second, considering what else to add. “You don’t talk a lot, but when you do, you usually have something weird or interesting to say. You’re kind of intense, but I dig that. And I don’t think you let a lot of people close, but you’ve really let me invade your home, and I think that’s very cool and brave of you.”
Benny grinned, proud of how well he’d articulated that. Maybe some of Helio’s smarts were rubbing off on him.
Helio was staring with wide eyes. “I hate you.”
Benny blinked in surprise. “You do?”
“No,” Helio corrected immediately, sounding weirdly put out about it. “Not even a little.”
“Oh, good.” Benny laughed in relief. “Hate sex isn’t really my thing.”
That seemed to break whatever spell Helio was under. (And really, it must be tough to be so insecure even with all he had going for him.) He placed a knee on the bed and his hand on Benny’s chest, pushing Benny onto his back and looming over him. “And what is yourthing, Benny?”
Benny let himself relax back into the mattress. “Well, I’m really sturdy, so you can go hard. I don’t mind that part. But it’s nice to feel…appreciated, I guess? Hate sex doesn’t really allow for that, I don’t think.”
“You want me to tell you I appreciate you, Benny?” Helio asked, stroking his hand over Benny’s chest, squeezing at his pecs. “Appreciate these gorgeous muscles you work so hard for?”
Oh, that was nice. Sometimes people forgot that big guys wanted praise too.
Benny didn’t know if it was Helio’s touch or his words, but all of a sudden, he kind of just…melted, his whole body going limp under Helio’s caress.
Helio’s eyes lit up. “Oh, you do like that, don’t you, my pet?”
He started stroking more of Benny—petting over his arms, his shoulders, his ribs—murmuring all the while, lulling Benny into a sort of horny daze. So much so that Benny startled when a lubed finger circled his hole.
He recovered quickly, though, and Helio gave him a small, pleased smile. “I’m going to take you bare, Benny.”
It was said like a statement, but Benny heard the question there. He nodded eagerly, widening his legs to give Helio better access. “I’m on PrEP.”
“So accommodating,” Helio crooned, his finger nudging into Benny.
He opened Benny up with the same intensity and patience as he’d given to the rest of his body, staring intently all the while, his eyes gleaming.
Benny couldn’t look away.
He kept looking as Helio replaced his fingers with his cock, pressing into Benny slowly, pushing Benny’s legs back as far as they would go, smirking at Benny’s long, low moan.
Good thing Benny stretched with every workout. He wasn’t exactly able to twist into a pretzel, but his body could make room for whatever Helio wanted to give him.
When he was bottomed out, Helio’s smirk turned into an almost catlike smile. “You’re mine now, Benny Carter,” he crooned. “Isn’t that right?”
“Yeah.” Benny pushed back against him, groaning at the incredible fullness. Helio really did have a super nice cock. “All yours.”
The smile fell from Helio’s face, replaced with a look of intense (always intense, this one) focus. He drove his hips back and in, and Benny moaned happily, the sound cut off as Helio claimed his lips, suddenly kissing Benny with a level of passion that was mind-blowing.
Benny moaned again, into Helio’s mouth this time. God, he had nice lips. Soft but firm, pliable but unrelenting.
Why the hell hadn’t they been kissing this whole time?
Helio fucked into Benny steadily, licking into his mouth and kissing him long enough that Benny went lightheaded, having to pull back against all his instincts, just so he could breathe a little.
“You look good like that,” Helio said, his voice kind of spacey. “That mouth of yours. The things you say…”
