Twenty-Nine
“ALEX, you need to go on your break.”
“Hmmm?” Alex glanced up from his task of preparing the glassware to find Sev regarding him with amusement. “I’m not due for a break for another hour.”
“Yes, but that’s the third time you’ve polished that wineglass.”
Alex looked down at the flute he’d been absently rubbing with a cloth and blushed. He’d been miles away, his thoughts on Leo and what they needed to discuss that evening.
“Make yourself some of that green tea you’re so fond of.” Sev gave him an affectionate smile. “Pietro’s already up there. You’d better tell him, Luca says he wants him back down here in ten minutes or he’ll end up on the menu tonight.”
Aha! Just the person Alex wanted to talk to. He hurriedly put together a cup of green tea. That accomplished, he went upstairs, carefully carrying his mug.
Pietro was just finishing his lunch as Alex entered the staff room. “Didn’t expect to see you up here just yet.”
Alex relayed Sev’s message, sitting down on the sofa and leaning back against the seat cushions. Pietro joined him, sipping from a glass of water. “Can I ask you something?” he asked Pietro almost shyly. Pietro nodded. “You and Miles have a contract, right?”
“Yeah,” acknowledged Pietro with a proud smile. “Though it’s gonna get renegotiated when he collars me.” He regarded Alex quizzically. “Why do you ask?”
He knew he shouldn’t feel uncomfortable discussing this with Pietro—hell, the number of times they’d discussed sex was nobody’s business—but it felt a little odd, as though it were something just for him and Leo. Oh, what the hell.
“I don’t have a contract,” he admitted. “I mean, I’ve seen one—I saw one when I wrote my list of limits—but we haven’t signed one yet.”
“Yeah, but you and Leo started out as lovers; the D/s part came after. It’s still early days, babe.” He eyed Alex speculatively. “You want a contract, don’t you?”
Alex nodded, blushing. He’d thought of little else during the last two days. And there was something else. Making love with Leo was an unbelievable experience, something that had forged a very solid connection between them, but a connection between two lovers. Alex yearned to be Leo’s boy. He wanted to lose himself in submission, yielding everything to Leo, pleasing him. And he also wanted to ask Leo for something very specific… if he had the nerve.
Pietro continued. “Most people start out with a six-month contract, and then renegotiate when it’s up. After that, if you’re both happy, you can set whatever time period you like.”
Alex cocked his head. “And what time period will your next contract be for?”
Pietro glowed. “It’s going to be open-ended. No time limit.”
Alex had never seen his friend look so happy. He knew the collaring ceremony was planned to take place during the New Year’s Eve party at the club. Pietro was so excited at the prospect, he’d been talking of nothing else for weeks.
Alex decided he’d talk to Leo tonight. Somehow he’d get up the nerve to ask Leo for something. After all, Leo had said Alex’s needs were important, and this was something he needed—no, craved.
LEO finished putting away the plates, wondering why Alex hadn’t joined him in the kitchen. It had become a task they did together, but Alex was oddly absent. Leo put the tea towel to one side and entered the lounge to find Alex deep in thought, reading through his limits list. Interesting. And what made it more interesting was the sight of Alex’s collar lying on the coffee table. Leo’s cock twitched. His boy needed.
“Is there something we need to discuss, boy?” Leo changed gears, moving smoothly into Dom mode. It had been a few days since they’d shared a scene, and Leo was eager to do more.
Alex looked up, momentarily startled. His cheeks were flushed and his breathing rapid. Oh ho! What on earth was going on in his sub’s mind? Alex nodded, lowering his eyes quickly.
Leo sat down on the sofa next to his boy and reached for the collar. Alex flashed a quick look at him and then rose gracefully from the sofa to kneel before him, head bowed.
“Strip, boy.”
Alex obeyed immediately, quickly removing all clothing and returning to a kneeling position, eyes downcast. Leo fastened the collar around his neck, noting the contented little noises as Alex reached up to touch the leather, as if reassuring himself. Leo loved the way Alex breathed slowly as he settled into his head space. Yeah, the boy was a natural, all right.
“Okay, boy,” Leo began, his voice firm. “Tell me what’s on your mind.”
Alex took a deep breath. “Sir, in the section on Erotic Humiliation, it says ‘forced exhibitionism’. Sir… does… does it have to be forced? What if… what if I want others to… to watch?”
Leo caught his breath. Oh, the images that were flooding his mind right now. “You want others to watch you submitting? Is that it?” Leo waited for Alex’s answer, conscious of his cock hardening rapidly in his jeans. He bit back a moan as Alex shook his head, his blush intensifying.
“No, Sir,” Alex whispered. “I mean, yes, Sir! I mean… I… I want them to watch you… fucking me.”
Leo found himself speechless at the thought of taking his boy into the group room and driving his cock deep into that tight ass while Doms and subs alike watched his boy totally submit to him. “What’s brought this on, boy?” Not that he had anything against the idea—far from it—but he wanted to make sure of the boy’s motivation.
Alex cleared his throat. “It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while,” he confessed. “In fact, I’ve fantasized about it ever since I read the second book in the Deviations series.” His cheeks were suddenly scarlet, and Leo thought it an adorable reaction. “It… it was so hot.”
Leo tried desperately to remember the scene in question. And then he felt his cheeks heat. Oh…. He recalled the scene where the Dom, Tobias, took his sub, Noah, out into the parking lot of the club and fucked him up against the wall with fifteen or so members of the club watching and cheering him on. Hell, yeah…. Leo could certainly provide such an opportunity for his boy. In fact, it would be his pleasure.
He was so proud of Alex. He hadn’t been afraid to speak up, to voice his needs. Leo looked at those enticing lips and tried to stifle his groan as he imagined them around his cock. Then he grinned. Why imagine? “Boy, get your ass into the bedroom. I have a hard cock that needs servicing.”
Alex’s eyes flashed with joy, his breathing speeding up. Oh, someone definitely liked that idea. Leo let out a joyful laugh as Alex scrambled to his feet, eagerly heading for their room. Their room—Christ, that sounded good. More sedately, Leo got to his feet and followed his boy. The prospect of Alex sucking him off, and then Leo sliding into that tight, perfect heat… evenings just didn’t get any better than this. Leo let out a rich chuckle. He fucking loved his life.
ONLY two days to go until Christmas. Alex had rarely felt so excited about the upcoming holiday, but the idea of spending two days with Leo—opening presents, preparing meals, cuddling together on the sofa—filled him with quiet joy. He hummed a Christmas carol as he laid out Leo’s clothing for their night at the club. He loved doing small services like this. It made his heart swell with pride when he saw Leo’s reaction. Alex just wanted to serve the man.
“You’re doing a good job there, boy.”
Alex turned to see his Dom in the doorway, Leo’s eyes on him. The collar, snug around Alex’s neck, was a pleasant reminder that this was a night for submission. Leo was taking him to the club, and Alex wanted to make Leo proud of him.
Alex lowered his eyes, kneeling immediately beside the bed. “Thank you, Sir,” he murmured. He heard Leo’s soft footfall as he approached the bed.
“On your feet, boy,” Leo said. Alex got up as gracefully as he could manage, standing with his arms by his sides. He noticed Leo was holding a slim envelope.
“Merry early Christmas, boy.” Leo handed him the envelope, his eyes bright.
Puzzled, Alex opened it and took out a set of medical test results. His and Leo’s. He frowned, not understanding. Leo was gazing at him patiently, an amused half smile twisting his lips. Alex looked once more at the results, which gave both men a clean bill of health.
The penny dropped. Leo wanted to fuck him bare. The mere thought sent the blood rushing to his cock. Hell, yeah….
“That’s right, boy. I want there to be no barriers between us—not even latex. And in case you haven’t worked it out yet, this means there will be no one else but you. Only you.”
Leo’s gorgeous blue eyes were focused on him, and a shiver ran down his spine. Only him. For a moment he was speechless. “Talk to me, boy.” Leo was regarding him carefully.
Alex hastened to reassure his Dom. “I… I love it, Sir.” He flushed. “Really. It’s… it’s what I want too.”
Leo’s face was suddenly wreathed in a huge smile. He took the results from Alex, dropped them onto the bed, and then pulled Alex into his arms. Their mouths met in a kiss full of urgency.
Alex groaned, clutching at Leo’s back as his mouth was devoured in a hungry, claiming kiss. He felt Leo’s cock hard against him, and this filled him with fierce joy. Leo wanted him….
With a loud groan, Leo broke the impassioned kiss. “Fuck, boy, what you do to me….” Panting, he stepped away from Alex, who was breathless, his cock hard and wanting. “Get dressed, boy. We’re going out.”
LEO had rarely seen the club so full.
Thomas grinned widely at him as he walked past the bar. “What’s going on tonight, I wonder?”
Leo shrugged. “Maybe everyone’s decided to make the most of it, seeing as we’ll be closed for the holiday.” The club was certainly buzzing, alive with chatter.
Thomas glanced down to where Alex was kneeling beside him, dressed in nothing but a pair of sinfully tight jeans, his feet bare. “Your boy looks good, Leo.”
Alex knelt in silence, focused, his mind clearly where it should be. Such submission deserved a reward.
Leo bent low and whispered into Alex’s ear. “Time for the second part of your Christmas present, boy. On your feet, boy.”
Alex got up and stood silently as he awaited further instructions. Leo gave Thomas a wink as he leaned closer to Alex. “Come with me, boy.” He pulled a leash from the pocket of his black leather pants, and he attached it to the ring on Alex’s collar and led him through the club. Leo was buzzing with excitement as they approached the group room. He glanced surreptitiously at his boy, trying to gauge his reaction. Alex’s eyes widened as he recognized their destination. “That’s right, boy. Time you saw what happens in here.”
Alex swallowed, but Leo noted the outline of his boy’s cock, clearly visible in his jeans. He pushed open the door and led Alex inside, noting how his boy caught his breath. This was going to be so good….
THE room’s lighting was subdued, but Alex was able to see everything. Miles was standing to one side, his eyes constantly surveying the room. The walls were adorned with large mirrors, showing all angles of the room, and there were chairs and benches scattered around.
Alex caught sight of Jonathon and Dillon. At least there were some faces in here he recognized. Jonathon was seated on a leather sofa in a darkened corner of the room, and Dillon sat astride him, his back to Alex. Dillon slowly rode Jonathon’s cock, clutching at the back of the sofa, shuddering with each press of Jonathon’s thick shaft into his ass.
“Like that, boy?” Leo’s breath tickled his ear, and Alex shivered as Leo caressed the curve of Alex’s ass, molded perfectly by the tight jeans.
“Yes, Sir.” It felt as if the air had been pushed from his lungs when he spied what was going on at the table. Oh my God….
A sub lay on his back, held down by two Doms. His head hung off the edge, and a third Dom was sliding his cock deep into the boy’s throat, fucking him with a gloriously thick shaft. The enthusiastic sounds made by the sub told Alex in no uncertain terms that he was loving every second of it. A fourth Dom was fucking him, sliding his latex-covered cock deep into his ass until he was balls-deep.
“Oh fuck,” Alex muttered, a shudder running through him as he watched the scene, his cock growing so hard it ached.
Leo’s warm breath wafted by his ear. “The boy on the table? That’s Dorian, and he’s probably celebrating being allowed back in here,” said Leo with a chuckle.
Alex couldn’t tear his eyes away. The two Doms holding Dorian down were slowly pumping their cocks, and Alex realized they were waiting to take their turn. Now there was something that didn’t appeal to Alex in the slightest. He was relieved about Leo’s earlier declaration—it didn’t sound as though Leo was about to share him with anyone else. Thank fuck for that.
Alex snapped out of his contemplation of the hot scene before him. Leo was leading him across the room toward a sort of low, wide armchair with a seat that extended almost like a bed. Leo sat down and leaned against the padded back, his eyes on Alex. He gazed at Leo’s bare, wide chest with its downy covering of hair before taking in his crotch, where a sizeable erection was visible. Alex’s heart began to pound in his chest.
“Strip.”
Leo’s tone had Alex reaching feverishly for his jeans, eagerly unfastening them and sliding them quickly down past his hips, tugging them off impatiently until at last he was standing nude before the reclining Dom, arms by his sides.
Leo’s eyes glittered with appreciation as he slowly rubbed the bulge in his pants. Leo opened his fly, revealing the base of his thick cock with its neat patch of pubic curls. Leo’s gaze grew predatory. “Take off my pants, boy.” His voice was husky with arousal.
Alex couldn’t fail to notice the room had grown quieter. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed men stopping to watch. Don’t think about it, he told himself. Focus on Leo. Remember, you asked for this…. Swiftly, his fingers trembling, Alex pulled the tight pants down over Leo’s slim hips, over his muscled thighs. His Dom was so fine…. Alex was shaking as Leo palmed his long, thick cock, tugging gently at the foreskin, pulling it back to reveal the fat, shiny head, already wet and primed for his ass.
“Come here, boy.”
Alex went to Leo as if in a dream. There was an unreal quality about this whole experience. Alex would not have been surprised if he’d suddenly awoken to find himself in bed, the whole thing nothing but a delicious fantasy.
Leo reached into a nearby bowl, took out a packet of lube, and tossed it to Alex. “On your knees, boy. Facing away from me.” Leo gestured to the flat bed of the chair. Trembling, Alex obeyed him, suddenly realizing from that angle, he could see the growing group of spectators stopping to watch. All eyes were riveted on him and Leo. His thighs shook as he knelt, his back to Leo, his eyes closing briefly.
“Now, open the packet, slick up your fingers, and start to open up your ass.”
Oh… fuck…. Alex tore open the packet and squeezed the silky lube onto his fingers before reaching behind to slide first one finger, then another, deep into his ass, working quickly to ready himself for Leo’s cock. He was conscious of wanting his audience to see Leo’s total mastery over him. Behind him, he heard Leo’s quickening breath as he watched the sight before him, and Alex made sure to moan, knowing how much Leo loved to hear him when they fucked. Not that he could’ve held back that groan if his life had depended on it….
“That’s it, boy.” Alex loved the low moan that escaped Leo, thrilled that he was arousing Leo so thoroughly. He heard the slick noises that told him Leo was pumping his cock, getting it hard for him. Alex worked his fingers faster, his moans increasing. Around him, there were murmurs of appreciation as Doms and subs alike watched the two men. Alex caught sight of movement in his peripheral vision and knew his spectators were slowly jacking off to the scene before them. He closed his eyes, because thoughts like that would have him coming way too soon, and he wanted to come when Leo did.
And suddenly it hit him. Leo was going to come inside him. Bare. A long, drawn-out shudder of breath escaped him as his mind did a sidetrack, making him imagine the trickle of Leo’s seed as it leaked from his ass….
“Enough!” Leo’s almost harsh command made him still his fingers instantly. Two strong hands were suddenly around his hips, gripping him tightly, pulling him to where Leo was reclining. Alex glanced back to see Leo’s tumescent cock standing at attention. A shiver ran through him.
“Okay, boy.” Leo’s voice shook slightly. “Are you ready?”
Alex let out a low, heartfelt groan. Hell, yeah, he was ready. He caught the murmurs of the crowd that had gathered to watch at a discreet distance.
“Go on, Leo, fuck his ass.”
“Go on, man. Show that boy who’s boss.” Cocks were worked feverishly, hands stripping the solid flesh faster.
Alex couldn’t keep it in any longer. “Oh, Sir! Fuck me!”
