16. Chapter Fourteen

Chapter Fourteen

N ever would Landry have thought he would take the lead, but there he was, leading Enzo to the bedroom. He held on to Enzo’s hand until they were inside.

While Landry had practically attacked Enzo at the club, he was shy when the promise of sex hung between them. Not that he was scared. He just didn’t know what to do next.

Enzo cupped his cheek. “You can safe-word.”

The last thing he wanted to do was safe-word. He wanted Enzo. Enzo made him feel good. He wanted to do the same for Enzo. But he wanted it to be making love. He needed it to be mutual.

“You wanted to, right?” He wasn’t sure why he needed Enzo to verbalize his consent, but he thought maybe he needed to know the feelings were reciprocated. And he needed to know he wasn’t doing the same thing to Enzo that had been done to Landry.

Logically, he knew he wasn’t. But he needed to hear it from Enzo’s mouth.

“Yes, baby. I want to make love. Every part of me wants you.” Enzo initiated the kiss, which was what he needed.

It was one of a few times when Enzo took the lead. He’d been very careful with Landry up to that point. Landry hadn’t realized how much Enzo held back until the control was gone.

He thought he’d panic. Instead, desire grew, making him hard again. Gods, it felt as if he’d been hard almost since the moment he’d met Enzo. He had been after the pain from his injuries had subsided.

Landry hadn’t thought his body worked correctly. Nothing had made him hard and wanting until Enzo. It shocked him. He hadn’t known how to process how his body reacted to Enzo. That had been why he safe-worded. Almost as soon as he said the word, he realized what had happened. He couldn’t shut off how much he needed Enzo.

Landry tried to pull Enzo closer, but they were already close enough to be one person. He whimpered when he couldn’t get what he wanted.

Enzo ended the kiss. “Tell me what you want.”

Landry shook his head, not knowing how to answer. Even that was almost involuntary. “I need you. Kissing isn’t enough.”

Enzo made sure their gazes met. “Can I give you direction?”

Landry nodded before Enzo finishing asking the question. “Please.”

He knew he sounded as if he didn’t know what to do next, but it was the truth. He was also nervous as hell.

Enzo seemed to know, but he didn’t comment on it. Landry was grateful for that.

“How do you feel about taking off your clothes?”

“I would like you to do it.” It seemed like a small thing to ask for, but Landry needed Enzo to do it for him. If he got naked himself, it would feel too much like it had when he was a sex slave. He had to know it was Enzo. It had to feel as though they were making love.

“I planned on it, baby.” Enzo kissed him before he touched the hem of Landry’s shirt. “Arms up.”

Landry did, and Enzo pulled his shirt over his head and off.

Enzo wore a button-down shirt, so Landry started undoing the buttons with shaking hands.

“Look at me.” Enzo cupped Landry’s cheek. “Are you okay?”

“Nervous. And excited.”

“You know we can stop, right?”

“I know. I don’t want to.” What he wanted was to see Enzo naked, but he was afraid it would make him come prematurely. Landry sighed. “I’m scared I’ll come too soon.”

“You’ll come more than once by the time we finished, baby.”

“Really?” He wanted to come all the time. He shivered thinking about it.

Enzo smiled. “You like that, don’t you, baby?”

“Yeah.”

Enzo leaned in, rubbing his cheek against Landry’s. “Mmm. I’m going to love getting you so hot and needy.”

“I already am. Daddy.” He wasn’t sure how Enzo felt about being called that. He didn’t seem to mind when Landry teased him about it, but he’d never said one way or another while they’d done sexy stuff.

He purred in Landry’s ear again. For the first time, Enzo rubbed Landry’s ass cheek. It was a gentle touch, as if Enzo wanted to see what Landry’s ass felt like beneath the palm of his hand.

Landry didn’t expect it to feel good, but it did. It made his hole flutter.

When he had Enzo’s shirt unbuttoned, he pushed it from Enzo’s shoulders.

Enzo let Landry go long enough to let the shirt fall off his arms before touching him again. Only he undid the button to Landry’s jeans and then unzipped them.

Landry didn’t notice. His attention was on a bare-chested Enzo. Landry hesitated to touch Enzo’s chiseled chest. He panted as if he ran a marathon and his cock ached.

“You can touch me, baby.”

Landry shook his head. “I might come.”

“That’s okay.” Enzo took off Landry’s pants and underwear past his hips.

Landry did the rest of the work, stepping out of them. He made quick work of it, not wanting to waste time with anything other than studying Enzo’s body.

When Landry touched Enzo, it took one pass across his pecs before his body tingled.

Enzo took Landry’s cock and began jacking him off.

The orgasm rolled through him. If it wasn’t for Enzo holding him around the waist with his free arm, Landry wouldn’t have been able to stand on his own.

Landry leaned against Enzo when he started coming down. He rested his cheek against Enzo’s bare chest. Landry shut his eyes and breathed in Enzo’s bare skin. “Sorry.”

Enzo growled. “You came from touching me. Do you have any idea how turned on I am by that?”

Landry opened his eyes and moved off Enzo as he met his gaze. “Really?”

“Really, baby.” Enzo nodded to the bed. “Do you want to move this to the bed?”

Landry nodded. He wanted to see Enzo’s cock, not just the outline against his zipper.

Landry unbuttoned his pants and was getting ready to push the zipper down when Enzo chuckled.

“Get on the bed. You can sit or lie down. Whichever you chose.” Enzo let Landry go, patting his ass.

Landry sighed and, at first, sat on the bed, watching as Enzo went into the bathroom. When he heard the water running, Landry scooted onto the mattress. Then the water shut off and Landry lay on his back.

When Enzo entered the room again, his pants were off. His cock jutted out in front of him, big and ready to take Landry.

Landry wasn’t aware of himself until Enzo’s gaze turned to lust and he smiled. It was then Landry realized he’d pulled his legs back, exposing his hole to Enzo. “I want you inside me.”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure, Daddy.”

“If you say stop or you say your safe word, I’ll stop. Even if I’m inside you.”

At the suggestion that Enzo would be inside him, made his hole flutter again. “I know, Daddy.”

Enzo went to the bedside table and grabbed a bottle of lube. He took the cap off and discarded the foil off the top before putting the cap back on. “I bought this two days ago, hoping you’d give me permission to jack you off with it. I never imagined you’d be ready for this.”

“I want you inside me.” Landry had dreamed about it last night while Enzo had held him. Landry didn’t expect to bounce back so quickly but his cock grew hard thinking about it.

Enzo climbed onto the bed. He didn’t touch Landry or get close enough to touch. Instead, he waited as if gauging how Landry would react.

It warmed Landry’s heart how careful Enzo was with him. If Landry hadn’t trusted him before that moment, it would have cemented the trust.

Landry touched Enzo’s thigh, which was the only part of Enzo he could reach. “I’m still okay, Daddy.”

Enzo scooted closer. He popped the cap on the lube and put some on his fingers. “You’ll need lots of prep, I think.”

“Yeah, touch me a lot.” Landry pulled his legs back again in anticipation. “Can I touch your cock?”

Enzo hissed as if the thought made him hot with need. “Just touch. Don’t make me come.”

Enzo made it easier for Landry to reach his cock. As soon as Landry held Enzo, contentment flowed through him. It felt right, as if his whole life was supposed to lead him to Enzo. Enzo made the bad stuff okay.

“Don’t you want to come more than once, too?”

Enzo’s chuckle seemed strained. “I’m a lot older than you. I won’t be able to get it up and I want to come inside you.”

Landry’s cock jumped. “I want that too.”

He moaned when he felt Enzo’s slick finger rub over his opening. “That actually feels good.”

Enzo growled. “It’s supposed to.”

Landry wouldn’t say it, but it never had before. He didn’t want to mention his shitty past while in the middle of making love for the first time. And he wasn’t thinking about it. Not in a way that brought memories to the forefront. Enzo’s gentleness erased all the bad stuff.

“Will you stick a finger inside? Please, Daddy.”

“All right, baby.”

The finger pressed inside. Enzo didn’t go very far before he stopped. He studied Landry’s expression. The only thing Landry felt was an immense amount of pleasure. So much so he could no longer speak or breathe normally. He nodded.

Enzo pressed inside and then out again.

Landry moaned Enzo’s name.

“How does it feel?”

Landry shut his eyes and nodded.

“Use words, boy.” Enzo pressed in a little more, pulling part way out.

“It…it’s…good. Feels…” Landry moaned and then stopped breathing when Enzo touched something inside him. When he breathed again, it was because he needed Enzo to rub the same spot again. Landry moaned.

He grabbed Enzo’s arm to keep him inside. “More. Please. Please.”

“Who’s touching you?” Enzo fucking him with his finger, always touching that spot as he pressed inside.

“Daddy. Mate.”

“Who?”

“My mate.” Landry thrust his hips into Enzo’s touch, wanting more. He needed…something. He wasn’t sure what. “My Daddy.”

“That’s right.” Enzo added another finger.

The feeling of fullness was exactly what he needed. “So good.”

Enzo’s fingers were long and thick. They felt bigger than they were when they weren’t inside him. “Mine.”

“No one but you. Please.”

Enzo growled, as if he didn’t even like the suggestion. “It’ll be only me forever, baby.”

That was what Landry wanted. Just Enzo inside him for the rest of his life. He didn’t want to do anything else. Just let Enzo fuck him forever. “Need you. Inside.”

Enzo fucked him with his fingers. He scissored them, stretching Landry.

When he pulled out, Landry whimpered. But then he poured lube on his cock, which Landry still had a hold of. The slickness on Enzo’s hard length made Landry moan. “Want this inside.”

Enzo panted and held still. “Let go, baby. And I’ll put it inside you.”

Landry did, and then held on as Enzo settled over him.

Enzo’s blunt tip pressed against him and then inside, breaching his opening. He stilled and waited. “Are you okay?”

Landry grabbed Enzo’s nape and pulled him down, kissing him. “Feels full, but I’m good. I know it’s you. My mate. My daddy.”

“That’s right, baby. Just me. Always, only me.” Enzo still didn’t move. “You let me know when I can move. I won’t until you tell me.”

Landry nodded. “I want more of you.”

Enzo moaned as he pressed in. He hissed. Did he like it too much, or was Landry too tight? Or was there another problem Landry hadn’t thought of? “Am I… Is it good?”

Enzo moaned again as he pressed in. “So good, baby. Too good. Feels like you’re made for me.”

“You feel good too.” Perfect, in fact.

When Enzo bottomed out, he sucked in a breath. “I’m all the way inside now.”

Landry wished he could see it. He bet the contrast of their skin color was beautiful.

Every thought went out of Landry’s head when Enzo moved. At first, it was a gentle rocking. In and out. But Enzo’s cock kept rubbing that spot. The pleasure stole every thought in his head. All he could focus on was the way Enzo made his body sing.

Enzo picked up the pace. It was as if he was as lost in the pleasure as Landry. Still, Landry was confident that if he told Enzo to stop, he would. And he wouldn’t ask questions about why. The level of trust he had for Enzo made Landry comfortable, letting go and giving into the feelings in his body.

Enzo growled Landry’s name and then he said, “Mine. My mate.”

When Enzo struck, Landry was expecting it. By then, his body had started that tingling sensation again.

Landry tilted his head to the side, giving Enzo room.

White-hot need spilled over. For a moment, Landry thought he’d been transported to a place only he and Enzo could find, and they couldn’t get there without each other.

The orgasm was the best of his life.

Instinct kicked in, and Landry sank his teeth into Enzo’s neck.

Enzo grunted. He ended the bite when his orgasm threatened. He cried out and then growled, cursing for the first time since Landry had met him. He stilled inside Landry for only a second before his thrusts grew shallow, as if he wanted to drag out the pleasure.

Landry would have smiled when Enzo cursed, and he would definitely tease him later, but he couldn’t bring himself to stop biting Enzo. The urge wouldn’t let him go.

Each second they stayed connected brought Landry to the realization that he had experienced sex, and it was the best thing that had ever happened to him, short of meeting Enzo. It was gentle and loving. And he had felt so much pleasure.

Landry had contributed to the beauty of it. He’d helped make it good.

So maybe that meant Landry wasn’t that broken. At least not anymore.

Shh. I’ve got you, baby. Enzo’s presence soothed him.

Landry sucked in a breath. It was then he felt the tears on his cheeks. He hadn’t realized he’d been crying, but he didn’t mind them so much. They were happy tears. I feel whole again.

You always were. Enzo wanted to believe Landry had it in him to get to the place he was in that moment without Enzo. Happy. Content. A person who lived in the light. And maybe Landry would have gotten there on his own, but it would have taken years and a lot of therapy.

He needed to know he wasn’t the sum of his past. What had happened before didn’t have to define him. But he wouldn’t have gotten there without Enzo.
