Chapter 9: Dom

I had no idea what to expect when Danil told me to come over with my toy, though what we just did was the furthest thing from my mind, but my God was it amazing. I didn't even mind when he slipped in bareback. It had been something I wanted to discuss with him at some point. It just happened sooner than I thought.

Now we were wrapped up in each others arms, not caring that cum was drying on us. All we cared about was sharing this post sex euphoria.

"I need to move," Danil states, but still makes no attempt to actually move.

"I'm not holding you here," I tell him, while leaning in to give the top of his head a kiss.

Danil takes a deep breath before finally shifting.

"I need to clean you up and move the pillow. There might be a wet spot."

"Oh, there is a wet spot," I confirm, deciding not to add that I can feel the edge of it from my position.

"I'll get us some clean sheets too, then."

"Don't. We are above the sheets. It will be fine." Because I really don't care. All I want to do at the moment is hold this man, who delivered when I asked him to show me stars.

Danil seems to hesitate for a second before giving his head a shake, getting off the bed, and walking out of the room. A few seconds later I hear the taps running in the bathroom briefly before being turned off, and the sound of footsteps coming back into the room.

"Roll over for me sweetie," Danil asks, and I don't think he realizes that he used a term of endearment.

"Sweetie?"

"Yeah sweetie," Danil confirms, but doesn't add any further explanation why, and I decide not to ask. If he wants to call me that, then I really have no objection, and instead roll over onto my back and back onto the pillow. Raising my body, I pull the pillow out from under me and throw it at Danil.

"Catch," I call over to him, and laugh as the pillow hits him straight in the face.

"Dom," Danil admonishes, but I can see the smile on his face, so I know that he isn't angry.

"You said you needed to move the pillow. I just did it for you," I reply as innocently as I can.

"But I didn't want said pillow thrown in my face. Especially if there is a wet spot on it. I really don't fancy cum all over my face."

"Well, there goes one of my fantasies," I start. "You coming all over my face was top of my list."

Danil's mouth drops open, and I think that he is actually lost for words. I can no longer keep up the pretense and burst out laughing, and when Danil finally realizes that I was joking, his face is a picture that just makes me laugh harder, and I have to close my eyes to stop the tears.

Suddenly I feel the bed dip, and when I open them again Danil is kneeling next to me, dick in his hand, and if it wasn't for the fact that I know he wouldn't be able to recover that quick, I think he would be teaching me a lesson and coming all over my face.

"You think you're such a comedian. But what would you do now, if I was hard and pumping away?" Danil asks.

"Simple, this." And I lean forward and place a kiss on the tip of his dick before slipping it into my mouth.

"Fuck. You really are a filthy beast," Danil huffs out.

I twirl my tongue around the tip a few times, I let go and look up at him. "Only with you."

"Right, stop distracting me, so I can take care of you."

"Think you already took care of me tonight," I tell him, trying my best to sound sultry, and I am rewarded with Danil rolling his eyes at me and shuffling down the bed.

Danil proceeds to wipe my chest and dick before moving down to my ass. The cloth is warm, and it feels good against my skin, and I have a feeling that I am going to be feeling Danil again tomorrow. All I can think is thank God I am not working at G's tomorrow.

When Danil is finished, he gets off the bed and throws the cloth into a hamper in the corner, before going around to the far side of the bed and blowing out the candles. He comes back around to his side and blows out the candles before switching on the bedside lamp.

"Lift up for me?" Danil asks, and I raise my body up off the sheet while Danil tugs it from under me. "Lets have a rest for a while and then maybe we can order Chinese and watch a movie."

It hadn't even dawned on me that it was still early, but of course it is. It feels like we have been in the room for days, not hours, and it really is too early to go to bed for the night. Plus, we do need to eat. Keep our strength up.

"Yeah, that sounds good," I tell him, as I roll onto my side to face him.

I watch as Danil gets into bed, laying on his back and stretching his arm out to me in invitation. I move over into the crook of his arm and rest my head on his chest, listening to the steady thump of his heartbeat, as I feel his arm tighten around me, holding me close.

"I've never done that before," he says silently into the room.

"Never done what?" I asked, confused at the randomness of the statement.

"Gone bareback."

"Oh." Because I have no other words to say. When Danil told me he'd been careful before and was on prep, I presumed that it was because he had gone without a condom before.

"I always wanted to be safe, but seeing you tonight, with that toy and the noises you were making. God, I wanted to be there," Danil explains, even though no explanation is needed. We both wanted it and it felt so good.

"Danil, it was amazing. You felt so good. I thought our first time was good, but this surpassed even that," I tell him.

"Yeah, it was pretty good," Danil says, and I feel him place a kiss on the top of my head.

I want to argue with him on his pretty good statement, but I yawn instead, and my eyes begin to feel heavy, my exertions catching up with me. And even though I don't want to sleep, wanting to just enjoy this time with Danil, I drift off.

When I wake, it takes me a second to figure out where I am, and then I'm bombarded with memories from last night – no I think I mean earlier tonight – Danil making me use my toy and then filling me. How I stretched around him.

Rolling over, I go to hold Danil but the space next to me is empty, and my heart sinks, but when I run my hand over the spot Danil had been lying in it's still warm, so he hasn't been awake long. Moving over to the edge of the bed, I swing my legs down to the floor, feeling the twinge in my behind, which makes me smile in remembrance.

Making my way over to my duffel bag, I dig out the sweatpants I brought with me and slip them on, not bothering to put on underwear. I debate on whether to put a t-shirt on, but decide to go bare chested.

Walking into the living room, I look around and spot Danil in the kitchen, completely naked. He hasn't heard me come into the room and I walk as quietly as I can up behind him and wrap my arms around him, resting my hands on his pecs.

"Hey beautiful," I say, kissing his shoulder and feeling him jump.

"Shit!" Danil exclaims. "I didn't hear you coming in."

"That was my plan. Wanted to see if I could make you jump," I say to him.

Danil twists around in my arms, which I move around his waist so I can pull him to me and seal my lips over his. I feel his tongue lick against my lips, and I open up for him and he deepens the kiss. Our tongues twisting and dancing together in a kiss that is unique to us.

"I hope it's okay, but I already ordered food," Danil says, breaking the kiss.

"Yeah, no problem. But are you planning to go put some pants on?" I ask.

"Well, I hadn't planned to," Danil replies with a smirk on his face.

"How did you plan to open the door for food?"

"I didn't, I hoped that you would wake up before they arrived, and you would answer," Danil tells me.

"Really?" I question.

"Yep," Danil confirms as he pushes out of my arms, walking over to the couch and sitting down.

"Guess I'm opening the door then."

"Thank you. Money is on the side table," Danil replies, giving me a smile.

Making my way over to the couch, I sit down next to Danil. "What kind of movie are you in the mood for?"

"No idea," Danil replies. "What about you?"

"Not sure. Let's see what's available."

I lean over and pick up the remote just as the security buzzer sounds in the apartment. I look over to Danil, who just takes the remote out of my hand, shoots me a smile and leans back on the couch. Looks like I am getting the food, then.

Picking up the phone for security, I hear the delivery man announce that he's here, and I push the buzzer to let him up and go and wait by the apartment door. When the delivery man knocks, I wait for a few seconds before opening the door and taking the food from him, and handing him the cash.

"Where do you want it?" I call over to Danil.

"May as well bring it out here to the coffee table, we can take what we want then."

We spend the rest of the evening eating food and watching movies, with Danil curled up into my side, his legs up on the couch, while I have mine stretched out in front of me, resting on the coffee table. Over the last few months, we have spent many evenings like this. The one place we could be us.

"So," I start, just as the latest movie finishes. "G and Matt know about you, kind of."

"How can they kind of know about me?" Danil questions.

"Well, they know I'm seeing someone, and that it's a man, they just don't know that it's you," I explain.

"That must have been an interesting conversation."

"It got even more interesting, when G asked if he could give you my cell number, so we could go hiking together," I say.

Danil twists around to look at me. "Are you joking?"

"Nope. Said something about Frank wanting us to get to know each other better," I explain.

"Oh, if only they knew just how well we know each other," Danil states.

"If only," I confirm, and lean over and give him the briefest of kisses. "But there is something else too..." I start.

"Go on," Danil encourages.

"Well, I came out to Alessia, who thought I was gay – I think she was actually more shocked that I was bi. But anyway, I sort of made plans with her on the weekend to introduce you. Is that okay?"

"Oh my God, yes!" Danil exclaims. "It's perfect, because I mentioned to Rory about meeting you, too. We can kill two birds with one stone. How about going to Trip's bar? Its never really loud there. Meet up with them early in the evening and then maybe you could stay over?"

"Sounds great," I tell him.

I cannot believe how quickly the last few days have gone, and its Saturday already. I'm back at Danil's getting ready to go and meet his friends, but more importantly, introducing him to Alessia as my boyfriend. I thought I was going to feel fine, but nerves have hit me.

"What if your friends don't like me?" I ask Danil.

"Dom, they are going to love you. I've told you this," Danil states, and he isn't wrong. He has told me at least three or four times now that his friends will like me and if they don't that this is their problem and won't affect our relationship.

"Don't you think that you should be more nervous of Alessias reaction?" Danil asks over to me.

"Nope. I have a feeling that she's going to find it hysterical. But she might threaten to hurt you, if you hurt me," I say over to him, giving him a smile. "Now how do I look?"

"Sexy as hell, as always," comes Danil's reply, and I don't miss the way he looks me up and down.

"Its just jeans and a shirt," I tell him. "The same as you."

"But you make it look good."

"So do you," I tell him. "But we better get going."

"Are you sure you can't stay over?" Danil asks me again.

"Sweetie." Because yeah, since the first time Danil called me that, we have been using it for each other. "You know I can't, but believe me I really want to. But Momma and Papa insisted, and I really don't want to annoy them. Especially as I haven't been home much this week."

Danil pushes out his bottom lip and tries to give me his lost puppy eyes. A look that any man or woman would probably find hard to resist, but I know I have to. Momma wasn't happy when I said I was going to stay over with a friend after going out with Alessia and made a big deal of making sure she got home safe.

"Don't give me that look. It's not going to work," I state. "Now come on."

"Fine," Danil replies. "But you owe me. Next time you come over I'm going to make sure you cannot sit down for a week."

"Is that a promise?" I wink over to him before turning and going over to the apartment door and opening it.

We arranged to meet Alessia outside, because I decided it would be the easiest way to tell her. Just arrive at the bar, holding hands. It might have been the cowards way out, but Danil had gone along with the plan too. We wait till Alessia is in sight and join hands. I don't call her name, I just wait to see her look in our direction and catch the moment she does. Her eyes go wide, and I think her mouth drops open before the biggest smile spreads across her face.

"Oh my God," Alessia exclaims as we get closer. "Him?" she asks, looking over at him.

"Yeah," I confirm, and suddenly Alessia is jumping into my arms, and I have to let go of Danil's hand to hold her.

"I would never have guessed," she whispers in my ear.

Alessia eases her grip on me and so I set her back onto the ground where she promptly jumps into Danil's arms and whispers something that has him laughing, and if I am not mistaken blushing slightly.

"How long has this been going on?" Alessia demands, when she finally steps back from Danil.

"Three months now," I say, and look over to Danil for confirmation, who just nods his head.

"How the hell have you managed to keep this quiet for three months, and from me, too?" Alessia demands.

"Carefully," I state.

"Are G and Frank going to flip out when they find out?" Alessia asks.

"Shall we maybe go into the bar and discuss this there, rather than the sidewalk?" I suggest.

"How do you know about this place anyway?" Alessia asks as we walk over to the main door.

"I've been coming here for a while," Danil says. "Trip works here. Matt's boyfriend."

"Do you still find the words ‘Matt's boyfriend' strange? ‘Cause I do," Alessia asks, always one for changing the subject in the middle of a conversation.

All of us walk into the bar, and I look over to see who is working, not sure if I am hoping for Trip or mentally keeping everything crossed that he isn't. It would be easy to explain away why the three of us are meeting, but it would be a lot easier if he wasn't. Relief fills me when I see the bartender isn't Trip.

"Go get a table," I say over to Alessia and Dom. "I'll get us some beers."

"Dom, I'm driving. Can you just get me a Coke?" Alessia asks.

"Yeah of course," I tell her, and make my way over to the bar.

I order five beers and a Coke for Alessia. I had considered going back up once Danil's friends arrived, but went ahead and ordered for all of us. We had arranged for them to come a little after Alessia. We wanted to tell her first. Looking over my shoulder, I watch as Alessia and Danil take a seat at the table, both wearing smiles on their faces. My boyfriend and my sister being close is everything that I could hope for.

The bartender places all our drinks on a tray, and I carry them over to the table.

"I thought I might as well get the others a drink while I was at the bar, they should be here any second so they shouldnt get too warm," I state, as I slide the tray onto the table.

"Others?" Alessia asked.

"We've also invited Danil's friends to join us," I start, and look over to Danil and smile. "We have decided to tell them about us too."

"So, you are having a huge coming out party," Alessia states, and I can hear the amusement in her voice.

"I suppose," I reply.

A few minutes later the door to the bar opens, and I watch as three people enter and look around. I'm guessing that these are Danil's friends, especially when I see him rise from his seat and wave. Nerves hit me again, because I really want these people to like me. They all wave and make their way over to us.

"Ambrose, Remy, Rory," Danil starts. "This is my boyfriend, Domenico."

I'm surprised that Danil used my full name, but it's also kind of sweet. I wonder if I am supposed to hold out my hand for them to shake or if I should hug them. What actually is the protocol when meeting the boyfriends friends?

"Domenico," Remy says. "Italian?"

"Please call me Dom," I say to all of them. "Yeah, Italian," I confirm.

"Does that make you an Italian stallion?" Ambrose asks, and the whole table erupts into laughter, and I can see why Danil is friends with these people.

"I hope its okay. I got us some beers," I say as we all sit down.

"So sorry, I'm driving," Rory states.

"Crap, I didn't even think one of you might be driving. Can I get you something else?" And I am already getting up from my seat, kicking myself for not waiting for them to arrive.

"Don't worry. You didn't know, and please, I can go get myself something." Rory gets up from the chair, and I watch him as he walks over to the bar. Danil has mentioned Rory a few times, explaining that he was set up on a blind date with him, and I can see why. Rory is a very attractive man. Tall and slender, his self-confidence oozes out of him, and it's a very sexy quality. I have to admit that if I had met him before Danil, I would have happily gone out with him.
