By the time that Howie settled down and quit laughing, Kevin had regained his composure. “How long has this been going on?” He asked. Confused, he ran a hand through his hair. “What exactly is going on? Are you two like, dating?” The infliction on the word dating had Brian wincing.
Without realizing it, Brian leaned in to AJ’s embrace, seeking comfort. The gesture was instinctual and something that, had he realized it, would have amazed him. “I don’t know quite what we are.” He admitted. He tilted his head, looking at his lover. AJ gave one of his usual shrugs, all signs of embarrassment gone from his face. Temper gone, as well. His mouth was quirked and his eyes were dancing with amusement. “Complicated.” He rasped out.
Brian nodded and looked back at the others. “Complicated about sums it up. As for how long, well, not real long. Since the uh, since the day you came to my door, Nick, and AJ and I were black and blue. We kind of, well…”
When Brian trailed off, his cheeks flaming, AJ picked up the slack. Totally opposite of Brian’s embarrassment, AJ sounded as if he was enjoying himself now. “We beat the shit out of one another finally. Tumbled all around the room, punching and kicking and such. Somehow I ended up kissing him, but then Nick knocked. We lied to you Nick, an sorry for that. But we had no idea what was going on at the time. That night when he came back, I kissed him again. Just to see. It kind of grew from there.”
Nick’s jaw dropped open. “But you guys have been fighting still! I mean, not all the time like before. I thought you two were just getting friendlier. But how can you be together and still fight that way? He asked them.
Snickers came from Howie’s direction, only made worse by the look AJ shot him. Brian felt as if his cheeks would burst into flames from how much he was blushing. This was so uncomfortable for him to talk about. Surprisingly, it wasn’t the ‘being with a man’ part that was hard. It was the passion part.
It was a sign of how close the two were becoming that AJ sensed this and easily took over the conversation. “It makes for really great sex.” He answered with a wide grin. “Plus, we’re still the same people. We still have our problems and our issues. Years of fighting aren’t just going to disappear. But, the fighting works for us. Keeps us on our toes. Couples all over the world fight. They still manage to care about one another too.”
“I can’t take this all in.” Kevin said. He shook his head, staring at them in amazement. “I just can’t. It’s too much, all at once.”
“That’s ok, Kev.” Forcing down his embarrassment, Brian smiled at his cousin. “Go on to your room. Take it easy tonight. You guys know now, that’s what’s important. The rest can come with time, ok? So just go ahead and think about it. All of you. This doesn’t have to change anything for anyone. Keep in mind, we’re still the same people. I’m still the same goofball you’ve always known, and he’s still the same conceited freak.”
“Who you calling a freak, Littrell?” AJ demanded. He turned a little to look at Brian’s face. “You’re the one that left me here in handcuffs!”
“You deserved it for getting me worked up all day long!” Brian snapped back. Then he realized what he said and in front of who he’d said it and he blushed again.
“Yeah, well, don’t think you’re getting off scot free for this. Yours was way more evil than mine was. I’ll get you back.” The sexual promise in AJ’s words had Brian shivering. It also made Howie chuckle, and had Nick smiling at them.
Nick was the first one to step forward. He walked over and hugged them both before turning to hug just Brian. Respectfully, AJ stepped away, walking Howie to the door. That gave Brian and Nick a moment together, which Brian appreciated. “Sorry about that, Nick.”
“Hey, no sweat. Not how I wanted to see J, ever, but I’ll cope. I just wanted to take a quick minute to tell you that I’m happy for you. Whatever’s happening with you guys, I could see the happiness just now. It makes you guys happy, and that’s what matters. I’m on your side on this, Bri.”
Those words had Brian almost tearing up. He embraced his best friend again, whispering a quiet thank you, before Nick left the room. That left only Kevin standing there, staring at him. He still looked so baffled by events that Brian felt pity for him. “I really am sorry, Kev, that we kept this from you. We just wanted to figure things out ourselves first.”
“I just, I never suspected that you, or that AJ, were gay.” Kevin said softly.
A smile tugged at Brian. He didn’t know that his eyes went soft and amused, or that some of the tension drained away. Couldn’t see it happening. But Kevin could. “I tell AJ that I’m not gay, and really, it’s true. Other men don’t turn me on. No other man has ever got me hot. Just AJ. It’s not that he’s a man or a woman, or that I’m straight or gay. It’s who he is inside that’s so attractive to me. Yeah, I like his body. Yes, his looks are a huge turn on. But the most attractive part to me is just simply him. Who he is. He could be himself in a woman’s body and I’d still be attracted to him.”
“I need to think about this.”
“That’s fine. I told you, I understand, Kev. Go on back to your room. We’re not going anywhere.”
After one last look at Brian, Kevin shook his head one more time and quietly left the room. A moment later the door shut. Brian brought his hands up, hiding his face, and bowed his head. Holy freaking cow. That had been, interesting.
A pair of arms wrapped around his waist and a familiar pair of lips bit down lightly on his neck. “I think it’s safe to say you shattered your little good boy image.” He teased him. The hands on Brian’s stomach slid underneath his shirt. “But I’m not in the mood to stand here and talk about this.” One hand undid the button on Brian’s jeans, making it easier for AJ to slide his hand down inside.
Brian gasped, tipping his head back. He had thought embarrassment would stay in him all night long. But just the touch of AJ’s lips had brought some of the passion back, and the feel of AJ’s hand wrapping around him brought his erection back. “God, how do you do that?” Brian hissed out. He brought one hand back to gently cup AJ’s head while his other hand went behind him, holding AJ’s hips against him.
“Do what?” AJ whispered as he nibbled up to Brian’s ear.
“Turn me on so fast. All you do is touch me and I’m on fire.”
“Mm. I’d say that I’m just that good, but I think it’s just that we’re that good together.” Pulling at the bottom of Brian’s ear with his teeth, AJ sent shivers down Brian’s spine. What he’d said was the truth. There was something between them that seemed bigger and stronger than anything they had ever witnessed before. It wasn’t just the sex either, though that was phenomenal. There were feelings involved too, even if they hadn’t admitted it to one another yet.
Suddenly AJ’s posture changed. He pulled his hand out of Brian’s pants, using it to shove them and his boxers down. When they hit the ground, Brian stepped out of them. Next AJ grabbed the hem of his shirt, pulling it up and over his head. When Brian was completely naked, AJ spun him around. “Now, about your little joke.” AJ said in that deep voice of his.
Brian took an instinctive step back. He knew that look on AJ’s face, and that tone to his voice. Pleasure, sharp and dark, coursed through Brian’s body. He knew he was going to pay for leaving AJ locked up that way. He had known it from the instant he’d done it. Now that time had come. “You have to admit, it was good, Age.”
“Oh, it was good. But, so is this.”
Quick as a flash, AJ ducked down and dipped forward. Brian barely had a second to think before he was bent over AJ’s shoulder and AJ was standing up. “God!” Brian exclaimed, grabbing on to the back of AJ’s shirt for balance. “Put me down!”
Brian jumped when AJ’s hand connected with his ass. “You hush.” AJ ordered. Without warning he bent and dropped Brian. For that instant he was in the air, Brian almost panicked. But then he hit a soft surface that was unmistakably a bed. He tried to bounce back up, to move or anything before AJ got on him, but AJ was fast tonight.
Even as Brian hit the bed, AJ was on top of him, straddling his waist. It was almost embarrassing how easily and quickly AJ overpowered him and had his hands cuffed into the handcuffs. With one hooked to the headboard and one to the footboard, Brian’s arms were stretched to either side of him. But being sideways on the bed left his legs dangling down to the floor.
“I’d saved some of this for another time, but I think I’ll put at least one of them out tonight.” AJ smirked. He rose from Brian’s waist and moved to his suitcase, taking something out that Brian couldn’t see. He carried it over and set it on the ground near Brian’s feet. “What is it, Age?”
“Nope, I’m not telling. You’ll find out.”
Still smirking, AJ knelt down and took hold of Brian’s hips, pulling him closer to the edge of the bed. It stretched Brian’s arms a little, but not in an uncomfortable way. He was achingly aware of how close AJ was to his throbbing cock. He wiggled his hips, silently begging AJ. Surprisingly, AJ heeded that request. His mouth closed over the tip of Brian’s cock, making his hips lift up off the bed. “Oh God.”
AJ sucked him in, deeper and deeper. He let his teeth scrape as he went, which never failed to drive Brian crazy. He loved AJ’s mouth. He loved everything there was about him. Laying his head back, Brian lost himself in the sensations. He felt AJ touch at his legs, lifting them a little, and obliged by planting his heels on the edge of the bed. AJ hummed slightly in thanks, intensifying Brian’s pleasure. Moans dripped from his lips and his body started to roll a little, pushing in and out of AJ’s hot mouth. God, his tongue was lethal!
A finger pressed against his entrance, making Brian jump. It pushed in, going right to that pleasure spot, making Brian shudder and moan out loud. “Alex, God, oh God, AJ.” It slipped from his lips like a prayer when AJ tapped that place inside of him. One finger became two, stretching him, timed to the bob of AJ’s mouth. It was heavenly. God, if this was AJ’s punishment, then some punishment! He’d misbehave more often!
Those fingers disappeared, making Brian whimper slightly. But then something else was there, something sliding inside of him, stretching him. It wasn’t AJ; wasn’t something he was used to. But he wasn’t an idiot. He had a general idea of what it was. When he was filled with it, and AJ still sucked and licked and tasted on his cock, Brian felt as if his body was going to explode.
AJ pulled up, letting Brian slide from his mouth with a popping sound. He stood up and smiled down at Brian. “I’m going to fuck you.” AJ told him simply. The words had Brian shivering. His body quivered with that sensation of being filled combined with the thrill he got from hearing AJ talk to him that way. “I’m going to fuck you until you can’t think, can’t walk, or even move. Then, I’m going to do it again.”
As he spoke, AJ slowly stripped out of his jeans. When he was naked he climbed back on to the bed, straddling Brian’s waist once again. He wasted no time in in positioning himself over Brian’s cock and sliding down. The sensations overwhelmed Brian so much that he thought he really might explode. But he forced his eyes to stay open, to look at AJ’s face. He loved watching AJ’s face at that moment. To watch the pleasure ripple over AJ’s features; the way his eyes rolled up in his head for that first moment. To hear him gasp and growl lightly.
“Oh, God.” They both moaned together. AJ rocked his hips, just barely moving up and down, enough to get them gasping. But then AJ shifted, doing something that Brian couldn’t see. But suddenly, he could feel it. The toy that AJ had slid inside of him was suddenly vibrating. Pressed right up against his prostate, it sent electrifying jolts of pleasure through him. “Shit!” Brian swore, gasping and arching.
“That’s it.” AJ started to rise and fall. The pleasure inside of Brian intensified. The vibration of his prostate with the feeling of AJ’s tight warmth sliding up and down, it was melting his brain cells. AJ had been right. He couldn’t think, could only feel and move. He pushed up into AJ at a frantic pace. Over and over AJ’s name fell from his lips and he could hear AJ moaning above him. “That’s right.” AJ moaned again. “I want to hear your scream this time. I want to hear you scream.”
Suddenly Brian couldn’t control it. His body moved just right and he was cumming, exploding and burying himself as far into AJ as he could go. The scream tore past his lips, echoing in his ears. Wave after wave crashed over him, threatening to take him under with each one. He hit that peak, but it just kept going as the vibrator continued to buzz against his prostate. It was like dying by pleasure. His whole body shook with it; tears ran down his face. Just barely he heard AJ’s shout and felt when he stopped moving, but nothing else could hold Brian’s attention. The pleasure was almost too much, yet at the same time it wasn’t enough.
He gasped loudly when AJ pulled off of him, and even more so when the vibrator slipped out of him. He was practically sobbing by then, his body quivering like an electrical current was running through it. AJ unhooked his hands and pulled him over so that they were laying together on the bed. AJ’s hand soothingly stroked over his arm, his back, all the while he whispered soft words in Brian’s ear.
“Sweet Jesus.” Brian said when he finally got his voice back. “You almost killed me.”
“At least you didn’t pass out this time.”
He chuckled weakly and snuggled in closer. “There is that. God, Age, it was like a never-ending orgasm. Pleasure, but almost too much.”
AJ smiled softly and pressed his lips against Brian’s temple. They stayed there like that, neither speaking again, until they drifted off to sleep.
