Playing The Hero (6 page)

But he couldn’t. Carter saw the sculpted, glistening body beneath him and the best he could muster was reverent awe and a profound, unstoppable urge to infuse it with pleasure.
Then, own him. For as long as you can, make this place inside of him yours.
Instead of driving forward, swift and deep, Carter pulled back and his hands cradled Reid’s hips. He kept his thrusts slow, steady and smooth, claiming Reid’s clenching heat a breath at a time until Carter was fully seated and Reid’s body was slick and humming with nervous pleasure.

“Fuck, that’s so good, Carter.” Reid huffed as his ass slammed back, into Carter’s thrust. “Harder, please.” He begged.

Carter shook his head.
It’s not time for that, yet.
He angled his thrusts, finding Reid’s prostate with the head of his cock and aimed for it with each stroke. Reid shrieked and frantically stuffed a pillow in his mouth and bit down. Carter felt his control slipping as Reid howled into the pillow.
Own this. Own this. Own this. Own this.
Carter chanted as he kept his pace focused and deliberate until Reid hauled in a ragged, desperate breath.

“I’m so close!” Reid gasped as he pushed back. “I need you to fuck me hard, Carter.” He pleaded.

Go.
Carter grabbed Reid’s shoulder with one hand and wrapped his other arm around Reid’s waist and drove deep. Reid screamed his name and the heavy, coiling pleasure that had been steadily swelling and pulsing roared and flared in Carter’s groin. Carter let go of his control and his thrusts became relentless, hard and fast as heat and pressure rushed from his sack as it pulled tight. Reid bucked beneath Carter and the sound of sheets ripping merged with the slapping beat of slick skin against slick skin as Reid convulsed in Carter’s arms. Reid’s passage squeezed, searing and brutal around Carter’s cock, milking his release from him. Carter’s arms locked Reid against his chest as electricity shot down his legs and through his cock and heat burst beneath his skin. A molten flood of come erupted from the head of Carter’s erection and he hissed as it filled the condom and scorched his now tender, sensitive flesh. Carter shuddered and twisted around Reid for several moments before his body relaxed. He sighed Reid’s name and released him, letting him fall, limp and babbling onto the bed. Carter fell forward and caught himself with his hands outside of Reid’s shoulders. Carter licked the sweat from between Reid’s shoulder blades before he fell onto his side next to Reid.

“I don’t know what that was but it was the best thing that’s ever happened to my body.” Reid giggled as he rose on shaking arms and flopped onto Carter’s chest. “I’ve never come so hard in my life. Or so much.” His hips squirmed and Carter knew he was laying in a mess. Reid’s hand pushed into Carter’s hair and he sighed happily. It tickled inside Carter’s ribs and he exhaled hard, forcing it out. Reid raised his head and stretched for Carter’s lips. “As soon as my body is working again, we’re taking a shower.” He murmured the words against Carter’s lips before sucking on Carter’s lower lip. Carter wrapped his arms loosely around Reid.
“Sure.” He said absently. Reid bit softly before he found Carter’s eyes.

“Then, we’ll change these sheets and you’ll stay the night.” Reid announced as he watched Carter. Carter groaned and threw his arm over his eyes.

“Reid…” He tamped down the flutter of happiness in his chest at Reid’s suggestion. “This is moving really fast. Don’t you think we should take a step back and make sure we aren’t getting carried away?” Carter asked.

He knew he was getting carried away. Carter knew that once Reid decided he had enough or moved on to someone else, it was going to destroy him. As hard as he was fighting against the magnetic pull of Reid’s perfect words, lingering glances and melting touch, Carter knew he was going to fail. Reid was an alchemic blend of intelligence, sensuality, humor and a ridiculous body. A seriously ridiculous body and a heartbreakingly perfect face. Reid looked like Captain America and Zac Efron had a gay baby. He was like an unstoppable gay hybrid. He was heroic and charming and called his dog “my baby”. How the fuck could Carter resist that? Reid was gay catnip and Carter was going to get his heart ripped to shreds. Carter felt the bed bounce and looked up to find Reid standing by the bed, hands on his hips, staring down at Carter like a slightly irritated but mostly amused god.

“Get over it.” Reid said. “You don’t get to use me and run. Especially after the way you acted this morning and what you said about men bolting as soon as they got off. And you don’t want to go.” He pointed at the bathroom. “We’re going to go in there and take the longest, dirtiest shower since the invention of indoor plumbing. Then, we’re going to bed. I want to spend the night wrapped up in you, tangled with you and take advantage of you when I wake up.” Reid paused so Carter could argue but all he could do was stare with his mouth gaping. “Are we good?” Reid asked and Carter nodded. A large grin filled Reid’s face. “Great. Get your ass up.” He commanded as he turned and strode into the bathroom. Carter was on his feet and moving so fast, he looked like he’d been catapulted across the room.

Chapter 8

Reid pushed his hand across the bed and it kept going, sliding across empty mattress. He blinked, clearing his vision and a wide expanse of bright, white sheets made his eyes hurt. He rolled onto his back frowning as he scanned the room. Carter was pulling his shirt on and he dropped onto the bed next to Reid.

“Were you planning to sneak out?” Reid teased as he sat up. Carter smiled and shook his head.

“No. I was just about to wake you up and say goodbye.” He said as he pushed his hand through Reid’s hair. Reid shut his eyes and moaned happily.

“Why do you have to go? I’m supposed to take advantage of you this morning.” He complained as he slid his hand under Carter’s shirt and nibbled at his jaw. It was rough like fine sandpaper and Reid’s lips started to sting a little. He loved that. Carter tilted his head, offering his ear and Reid took his earlobe between his lips and sucked. Carter groaned and shivered.

“I help at the store on Sundays. It's always busy after the church crowd gets out and I do most of the stocking so my parents don’t have to during the week.” He explained. Reid smiled against Carter’s ear. The fact that he still helped his parents was pretty adorable.

“Can I come? I can help.” Reid offered and Carter tensed and pulled away.

“You want to go to my parents’ store?” He asked carefully. Reid’s brows pulled together and he nodded. Why was he concerned. Unless…

“Would your parents have a problem with that? With us?” His stomach squeezed at the thought but stopped when Carter shook his head wildly.

“No! Not at all!” He promised and Reid looked at Carter expectantly.

“Then, what’s the problem?” Reid asked. Carter cringed.

“It’s my
parents
.” He stated and Reid became more confused. Carter sighed and pushed his hands through his hair. “You’d meet my parents and we’ve only just started…” He floundered and Reid laughed.

“Dating.” He said and Carter shook his head again.

“No. We’re not dating.” He argued. Reid rolled his eyes and rose on his knees and swung a leg over Carter’s thighs and straddled him.

“We went on an actual date. We’re having sleepovers and really hot sex. You love my dog and my dog loves you. We’re dating, Carter.” Reid insisted as he fisted his hands in Carter’s hair and pulled his head back so he could stare into his eyes. “I want to know more about you. I want to see where you grew up. It sounds like you spent a lot of time in your parents’ store and that seems like a good place to start.” He said as he brushed his lips back and forth across Carter’s. Reid could feel Carter’s hard-on through his jeans and he wanted it.

“I spent all my time there.” Carter murmured as his hands skimmed down Reid’s back and closed around his ass. Reid ground his hips against Carter, trying to find relief.

“Then, let me come with you. Let me meet your parents.” Reid demanded as he traced Carter’s lips with his tongue. Carter growled softly as his fingers slid into the cleft of Reid’s ass.

“I don’t know if I’m ready for that.” He whispered and Reid felt Carter’s heart hammering against his chest. Reid made a shushing sound as he reached between them.

“It feels like you’re ready. Do we have time?” He asked as his hand cupped Carter through his jeans. He nodded.

“If we hurry.” Carter breathed as his hands closed around Reid’s face. His tongue surged into Reid’s mouth and Carter kissed Reid urgently before he tilted back and pulled his shirt over his head. Reid snatched a condom off the table and passed it to Carter then stretched for the bottle of lube. Carter ripped the wrapper open and leaned back as he unbuttoned his jeans. “How do you want it?” He asked as he rolled the condom down over his cock. Reid bit back a groan at the sight. The only thing sexier would have been if Carter’s thick, throbbing length had been bare. They were going to have a talk about that one day.

“Just like this. I want to ride you.” Reid’s voice shook with anticipation and need as he pumped lube onto the head of Carter’s erection. Carter hissed as Reid’s hand began to stroke, working the lube down his shaft.

“Do you need…” His voice was strained and Reid shook his head.

“No, I’m ready.” Reid panted as he rose on his knees.

He was expecting it to hurt a little and it was definitely going to take a few minutes but a little bit of pain would heighten everything. Reid guided the head of Carter’s cock to his entrance and bared down until the head slipped in. There was a sharp flash, a burning sting and Reid gasped as he tightened around Carter. Reid clenched his jaw and his head fell forward onto Carter’s shoulder. Carter’s hands rubbed soothingly over Reid’s back and Reid took a deep breath then exhaled. The muscles squeezing around Carter relaxed and Reid slowly lowered himself. There was pressure and mild, stinging pain pushed into Reid’s passage but he continued to fill himself with Carter’s hard, hot length. Reid felt Carter’s lips slide along his shoulder as he murmured soothing words to Reid, gently urging him on. Reid groaned when his ass finally rested on Carter’s thighs. He squeezed, savoring the incredible fullness and fading pain and Carter gasped.

“Fuck, Reid! You’re so tight.” He pulled Reid’s mouth to his and his lips and tongue were demanding as he claimed Reid’s mouth. Reid rose slowly, reveling in the easing of the pressure and the warm current that shot from his groin, down his legs. Carter pulled his head back and panted. “That’s it, ride me.” He begged as he leaned back on his hands so he could watch.

Reid gave Carter a cocky grin as he grabbed his shoulders and began to slide back down Carter’s cock. Oh, it was so good. Every nerve in Reid’s body lit up as Carter’s thickness caressed everywhere within him. He rolled his hips, taking Carter deeper on every downstroke as he started to ride faster, smoother. Carter’s hands glided over Reid’s chest and stomach as his eyes clung drowsily to Reid’s. His thumb flicked Reid’s nipple and electricity skated down his spine to the base of his cock making Reid hiss. Carter growled as he sat up and pulled Reid’s chest against his mouth. His lips latched onto Reid’s nipple and he sucked hard. Reid yelped and fisted his hands in Reid’s hair as he pressed his chest harder against Carter’s mouth. Carter bit down and Reid screamed as pleasure and pressure coiled in his groin and his sack pulled tight.

“I’m so close, Carter.” He whispered urgently. “Stroke my cock.” Reid begged as he rocked fast and hard on Carter’s erection. He moaned when Carter’s hand wrapped around his shaft and began to twist and pull. Reid swore and Carter raised his head and lapped at Reid’s lips as they danced against his tongue while he rode him harder.

“Holy shit, you feel so incredible.” Carter moaned. “You’re going make me come soon. I want you to come for me. Let me see you come while you ride my cock.” He commanded as he stroked Reid’s erection. Reid nodded drunkenly as hips slammed down on Carter’s lap with every fall.

“Ooooh, I’m going to come so hard.” Reid’s eyes tried to roll back into his head as bright, throbbing pleasure surged from his balls and bloomed in the base of his shaft. “Your cock feels so perfect in my ass.” He said as Carter worked his length faster.

“Christ, Reid!” His voice was strained as he pulled Reid’s lips to his. “No one’s ever fucked themselves on my cock like this. You’re so good.” Carter breathed the words into Reid’s mouth as he squeezed the base of Reid’s cock. “Come for me now.” He said as his hand tightened ruthlessly around Reid’s shaft.

Reid’s eyes flared as the pressure became vibrant and intense. Carter relaxed his grip and his hand slid up and Reid’s world exploded as heat and pressure surged up his length and come burst from the head in a thick, searing stream. It hit Carter in the chest and spilled down his hand as Reid’s body began to shake and buck. Carter gasped Reid’s name as his head fell back and his chest locked before he twisted and arched away from Reid as his body began to jump and twitch. They clawed at each other’s bodies until they stopped writhing and shivering as they fought to catch their breath. Carter fell back onto the bed, pulling Reid on top of him and he laughed softly.

“That was unbelievable.” Carter announced as he wrapped his arms tight around Reid.

“Seriously.” Reid agreed as he nuzzled Carter’s neck. It was slick and hot and tasted salty as Reid’s tongue washed against Carter’s skin.

“Let’s take a shower together here. We can stop by your place on the way and you can change.” Reid said as he pushed off the bed and stared down at Carter. He was frowning, probably about the whole
“I don’t know if I’m ready for that”
nonsense. “Hey. Stop overthinking.” Reid dropped a kiss on the tip of Carter’s nose. “This feels really good, just go with it.” Reid ordered and Carter sighed as he slapped Reid on the ass. Reid jumped and bit Carter’s lip. “Don’t start something we don’t have time for.” He warned and Carter laughed as he pressed a kiss to Reid’s lips.

“Fine. Let’s get moving.” He relented and Reid smiled as he jumped from the bed and ran into the bathroom to start the shower.
