Active Duty: Gay Military Erotic Romance (7 page)

“Seems like the water’s coming out the wrong place,” Lucas said, with a sly smile, as he passed me.

“This isn’t Brussels,” I said, referring to the Manneken Pis, the famous fountain featuring a pissing cherub.

“I’ve seen it,” Lucas said. “Triton there has him beat.”

I looked at Lucas. His light blue eyes were sparkling. Was he flirting with me? The Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell legislation pushed through under the Clinton administration was under fire in Washington then, and it looked like it was going to be repealed. Could Lucas Roemer be gay? Was there a chance I’d find out for myself, if the legislation disappeared?

“Yeah, but have you seen Michelangelo’s
David?
” I asked. “There’s a guy with a big weapon.”

Lucas guffawed, and shook his head. “See you around, Adam Burr.”

I shivered with pleasure at the thought that he’d remembered my name. He probably knew everyone who worked in the embassy by name and sight; that was part of his job. But I was willing to hope that he’d taken a special interest in me.

I thought about Lucas more than I should have. But he was just so damn handsome. One day I looked out the window of my office and saw him and a bunch of his fellow Marines posing for a photo op with some of the Italian
carabinieri.
The Italians wore capes and tricorn hats with red plumes. Next to the butch
Marines in their brass-studded jackets and formfitting red-striped pants, they looked like they couldn’t fight their way out of paper bags. Lucas, of course, was the butchest of the lot.

I drifted off into an erotic fantasy of him right there at my desk, when I was supposed to be sorting out a passport problem for a student from Illinois. I was undoing those brass buttons of his, one by one, then unbuckling the white belt around his waist to find that he wasn’t wearing a shirt underneath his jacket.

“Aaron?”

I looked up to see my boss standing in the doorway to my office, and I was very glad that my desk camouflaged my hard-on. “Got a minute to handle a problem for me?”

“Certainly, sir,” I said, grabbing my appointment book to cover my groin as I stood.

The embassy sponsored a party in the gardens to celebrate Labor Day, and though Lucas was on duty, I managed to find myself near him for a few minutes and strike up a conversation. I said something innocuous about the embassy building and then mentioned, “They say a queen used to live here.”

He leaned conspiratorially toward me. “I see queens going in and out of here every day.”

“Present company excepted,” I said. “Nobody’s ever called me a queen.”

“You might look good in drag, though,” he said.

I blushed and turned away, then got caught up in a conversation with one of the political officers. I didn’t see Lucas again for a couple of days, but that wasn’t unusual; the Marines had varying schedules on the embassy gates.

I was surprised by the knock on my door. I had no friends in Rome other than my coworkers, and I doubted any of them would seek out my apartment so soon after the end of the
workday. I’d only been home for a few minutes—just enough time to pull off my suit jacket and undo my tie, and kick my black dress shoes off.

I looked through the peephole and was astonished to see Lucas Roemer. I undid the chain and pulled the door open. He was wearing jeans and a long-sleeved polo shirt, and carrying a bottle of champagne. “I was hoping you’d celebrate with me,” he said.

“Celebrate what?”

“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is history,” he said.

“Sounds like a reason to celebrate.” I stepped back to let him in, but instead of walking past me he leaned forward and kissed me. His lips were feathery light against mine at first then pressed forward with an urgency that took me by surprise but was quickly reciprocated.

“I’ve been waiting a long time to do that,” he said, when he finally pulled back.

I took a deep breath. “Wow. That was even better than I imagined it might be.”

He smiled slyly. “Well, then let me prepare to blow your mind.”

He stepped inside, and I closed the door behind him. He positioned the bottle of sparkling wine between his legs and peeled off the tinny covering. I wanted to get glasses out of the cabinet—but I was entranced by the sight of that large thickness sprouting from between Lucas’s legs.

“Can I help with that?” I asked.

He looked at me and smiled. “If you’d like.”

I knelt down and wrapped my left hand around the hardness, and his hand covered mine. I used my right hand to untwist the cage over the cork. “Better back away,” he said. “Might be dangerous when this thing shoots.”

I stood up. “Can you hold back for a second?”

“It’s going to be tough.”

“You’re a Marine. Butch it up.”

I walked over to the kitchen and grabbed two tall, slim glasses, the closest thing I had to champagne flutes. I returned to the living room, and with a quick twist of his strong right hand, Lucas extracted the cork and golden fluid bubbled out. I caught it in the first glass, and then he poured the second and set the bottle on my coffee table.

I handed him one glass and lifted the other. “To a celebration,” I said.

He clinked his glass against mine then twined his arm around mine before he lifted the glass to his lips. My heart jumped. A handsome Marine who was both sexy and sweet? Talk about a walking wet dream.

We looked into each other’s eyes as we sipped our champagne. When we extracted ourselves, he kissed me again, his lips tasting like the sparkling wine.

“What do you say we take this into your bedroom?” he asked.

“I say follow me.” I grabbed my champagne glass and the bottle, and led the way to my bedroom, glad I had remembered to make the bed that morning, though I was sure it would get unmade very quickly.

In one quick move, Lucas pulled his polo shirt over his head, revealing a squarish chest with large brown nipples, and a treasure trail of black hair that ran from between his pecs down to his belly button, an outie. He had washboard abs and a narrow waist.

I leaned forward and took his right nipple gently between my teeth. He groaned and tilted his head back. As I slurped and nibbled, he busied his fingers unbuttoning my dress shirt then
slipping it back over my shoulders. I switched nipples, and he ran his hands over my shoulders, pinching and kneading the tense muscles there.

I pulled back and we kissed again, our chests pressed together. Mine was much hairier than his, and Lucas seemed to like sliding against me. He pulled his lips away and arched his back again, almost like a cat, rubbing his chest against mine.

His fingers fumbled with my belt buckle, and I helped him along. Once undone, my pants slipped off my hips and pooled at the floor and I stepped out of them, wearing only my boxers and my socks. I knelt to the ground in front of Lucas and pressed my face against his groin, feeling the warmth of his stiff dick through his jeans. I rubbed my cheek against it and he moaned, pressing my head to him.

He unbuckled his belt and undid his jeans. They were molded to his body, unlike my dress pants, and I had to peel them back, revealing a pair of simple white jockey shorts. His stiffy was outlined against the fabric, a circle of precum already staining the fabric.

I stood up and turned my back to him, and he did just what I wanted—he pulled me to him, so that my ass was pressed back against his groin. His hands reached around my chest to my nipples, and he leaned down to kiss my neck. I reached back to his hips, sticking my fingers under the waistband of his jockeys.

We swayed like that for a moment or two, until he nibbled on my ear and whispered “If we keep doing this I’m going to shoot off in my shorts.”

“Wouldn’t want to waste anything,” I said, stepping out of his grasp and turning around. “We are under austerity measures, you know.”

I went down on my knees again, this time peeling back his jockeys to reveal his dick, long and slim and curved like a
banana. I licked my tongue up the length and he rocked on his feet, grabbing my bureau for support.

I appreciated the plush carpeting in my bedroom as I knelt before Lucas Roemer, tonguing his balls, tickling his piss-slit with my tongue and inhaling the scent that rose from his pubic hair. I began to swallow his dick an inch at a time, going down and pulling back, gradually relaxing my throat muscles enough to take him completely inside me.

“Oh, man,” he moaned, the first time I buried my nose in his bush, his dick fully inside my throat. I began suctioning him, lightly at first, then with intent, and his body quivered and he began making some very un-Marine-like whimpers.

I knew I ought to back off, make this pleasure last—but I couldn’t help myself. I was a greedy bastard, and I wanted to swallow Lucas’s cum—and I wanted it now. I grabbed his asscheeks and began jamming my head up and down on his cock, and his body shook and he erupted down my throat with a howl that seemed part pain and part sheer ecstasy.

He took a deep breath and slid back against the bureau. “I want to slap every member of Congress upside the head right about now,” he said.

“Why?”

“For making me wait this long to be here with you. If they’d never created such a dumb-ass law we could have been fucking since you landed in Rome.”

“You never know,” I said. “You could have found somebody else before I even got here.”

He shook his head. “I was waiting for you. I just didn’t know it until you showed up.”

He stood up and reached over to my boxers. My dick had already popped through the opening, and he grabbed it in his right hand, which felt warm and strong around me.

“Oh yeah,” I said.

He leaned forward and kissed me again, as he wrapped his hand around my dick and began stroking me, lubricated only by my precum. My senses were overwhelmed—the taste of Lucas in my mouth, his smell in my nostrils, the roughness of his hand against my tender dick.

I came too quickly, shooting off in his hand and dribbling onto my boxers. Lucas released my dick and smeared my own cum down my chest—then pressed his chest against mine so my fluids mingled onto his smooth chest.

I kicked off my socks and dropped my boxers, and we fell down onto my bed together, wrestling naked on the spread. I’d never been much of an athlete, but they made us wrestle in high school and I still remembered a couple of holds. I wasn’t sure if I really overpowered Lucas or he just let me win because he wanted me on top of him.

“So, who’s the big, tough Marine now?” I asked, straddling him, holding his biceps down on the bed.

In a minute, he had me flipped and lying on my chest with him on top of me. “That would be me,” he said, laughing.

He began to give me a back rub, kneading my tense shoulders once again. “You really need to relax, Adam,” he said. “I know a great place with masseurs who know their stuff. You’ll have to go there with me sometime.”

“They do couples massage there?” I asked, my head flat against my pillow.

“We’ll see what we can work out. You have any oil I can use?”

“There’s some body lotion in the bathroom cabinet.”

“Be right back.”

The bed sprang up a bit when he hopped off, and immediately I missed the pressure and warmth of his body against
mine. Fortunately he was back a moment later. “Nice selection of product,” he said. “We share the same taste in lube.”

“I didn’t realize Marines had taste,” I said.

“Ooh, somebody’s getting cheeky,” he said, slapping my butt. “Tell me, does spanking give you a hard-on?”

“Everything about you gives me a hard-on,” I mumbled into the pillow.

“Good answer.”

He squirted some body lotion in his hands and began rubbing down my back with long, smooth strokes. He slapped my buttcheeks a few times and then began to stroke my perineum. “Every guy has his own G-spot,” he said. “The trick is to find it. I always like to know what I’m dealing with.”

I shivered and moaned at the touch of his fingertip stroking the tender area between my ass and balls. He squirted some lube on his finger and began penetrating me, a millimeter at a time. His fingertip was slightly rough against my tight channel. “Did you know that in your twenties, your prostate is only the size of a walnut?” he asked, as he inched his finger deeper into me. “It gets bigger over time.”

“Other body parts do that, too,” I said.

“Mmm-hmm,” he said.

His finger must have been in to the second knuckle when I felt it reach my prostate. I bucked beneath him and he said, “So, that’s yours. Good to know.”

He pulled his finger back and widened my ass, and then stuck two fingers inside, snaking their way up my channel until the longer of the two reached my prostate again. In slow, lazy strokes he began pressing against it, sending waves of pleasure through me.

I was zoning out to the pleasure when I heard the unmistakable sound of a condom package ripping, and then more squirts
of lube. Lucas pried open my ass once again and the head of his dick nosed against the opening.

“Oh, yeah, look at that little rose, just winking at me,” he said. “Papa’s got a special present for you.”

He slid right into me, and then lowered himself so that his body was resting on mine. The weight was intense, pressing me into the bed, and I was having trouble breathing, but it felt so good to be enveloped by him as he kissed my neck.
