He smiles, kisses my pierced nose, and disappears. The loss of his presence agitates me, but just as I prop myself up on the bed so I can get up and search for him, he returns with a warm towel. Diligently, he wipes my body and then joins me under the blanket, snuggling up to me like he wouldn’t survive the night if he didn’t.

Aran
IwakeupwithHex in my arms and it’s the rightest thing in the entire world. Rest doesn’t come easy to me, especially when I am on a mission, but after I gathered his warm body against mine, I drifted off with no worry in the world.
We have to get back to reality now as the sun filters in through the part of the window not covered by the curtains. But it can wait a few minutes as I watch him sleep peacefully next to me. It just does something to my soul, cleansing it and giving it the energy it needs to get up and continue trying to resolve the dead end we’ve reached.
Dragging my fingers up the curve of his hip, I focus on the warmth of his skin. It seeps into me through the contract, invigorating and daring me to reach out. To openly want, to claim him as mine. It’s hard to fight that feeling, because it’s so deeply ingrained in me, even though I have no idea when I let it become so absolute.
Maybe it’s always been there, dormant and biding its time.
“Why do you look like you have constipation first thing in the morning?” Hex’s tenor teases me, smooth and lilting. “Was I that bad yesterday?”
That second question is spoken quietly as color tints his cheeks. Hex is not a man who typically lacks confidence, but he also has a shy side that he only ever shows to me. It’s always been like that, and it brings me great satisfaction knowing that I monopolize that part of him.
I shuffle closer to him and bend down to kiss his exposed shoulder. “You were and are perfect, Tien. I thought you already knew that.”
His arms come around my waist possessively as he pulls me in, burying his nose in my chest. “I do. But it’s nice to have it acknowledged by you from time to time.” He inhales deeply, then melts against me with a purr. “You smell like me.”
I plant a kiss at the top of his head and breathe him in. He also smells like me. Like mine.
Something in my brain flips a switch and I’m suddenly ravenous for his taste, seeking out his mouth as he yelps and giggles. His laughter turns into a titillating moan as I take his mouth hostage and bury my tongue deep enough so I can explore every inch of it.
I don’t know what’s gotten over me—I’m not one to act on impulses like this. But he just gets under my skin so easily, he always has, and it’s impossible to resist him now that I know just how sweet his kisses are and how lovely he sounds when he’s aroused.
“Ooh, I like this very much,” he throws in between my advances, his hands roaming my back. They latch onto my spine, tracing each peak as they make their way to my bare ass. “From now on, we’ll do this every morning. It will be part of our updated get-out-of-bed ritual.”
He rubs my crease, teasing my entrance with his bony fingers. “Tien, what are you doing?”
He looks up at me and scrunches his nose, looking all cute and innocent while he continues to rub. “Exploring? Do you normally sleep naked, Aran? I think I should, because it will give you easy access to all parts of me and you can wake me up with a blowjob.”
I swat his thigh. “I can wake you up with one regardless.”
He sprawls himself on the bed and pretend-snores, squeezing his eyes shut. “Please do.”
I bite on my lip to stop myself from smiling. Is the little shit trying to be a smartass? I think I need to teach him a lesson.
Tossing the cover off the bed, I straddle Hex’s ankles and pull his underwear down. He startles as his semi-hard cock springs free and bounces off his stomach. It’s pretty, just like the rest of him, long and delicate and already glistening. My mouth fills with saliva just looking at it, but I want to tease Hex, so I think I’ll take my time.
I start by massaging his thighs, loving how smooth and firm they are. His entire body is clean-shaven, I knew that because I accompany him to the laser studio, but knowing and seeing it in all its full glory are two very different things. I can touch any part that I wish ti, and doing so tears out of Hex erotic moans and pleas for more.
After I am done appreciating his thighs, I move onto his navel, then chest. He growls in protest and threatens to tie me up to the bed and have his way with my mouth. I wouldn’t be opposed, but I don’t tell him that, keeping him with his toes curled as I slowly make my way back down to his crotch. When I finally grasp his shaft in my hand, he’s rock-hard.
“Please, no more teasing! Do something already or I’ll explode.”
He’s cute. I take a moment to just drink him in naked and at my mercy, the erotic sight leaving me awed. I could look at him forever, appreciate the contrasting play of elegance and masculinity in his features, the edge that he has because of his piercing and tattoo that opposes his kind-hearted nature.
I lean forward and take him inside my mouth. His taste surrounds me, sweet and head-spinning as I bob up and down his leaking cock. He blabbers nonsense as his hands grab onto my hair and try to control my pace, but I don’t let them. I like the added sting—it adds to my pleasure and encourages me to make an even bigger mess out of him.
He chants my name, his body jerking as I rub his balls. A few seconds later as I slide up to the tip of his dick and suck on the slit, and he climaxes. I swallow his release, pumping him through the tremors until he eventually relaxes and turns boneless.
“I need a moment,” he slurs, his eyes unfocused and blissful.
I sit on the edge of the bed and stroke his head, taking a few locks of his silky blue hair between my fingers and bringing them to my lips. “You have ten minutes until I shower. Then we’ll get dressed and figure out what to do about our lack of progress.”
When I begin to stand, his hand wraps around my wrist and halts me. “Uh, where do you think you are going?” With his free one, he points at his face while opening his mouth and looking up at the ceiling. “I haven’t sucked your cock yet.”
