Chapter 30

"That's so good, Zach! Harder. Yes, right there!"

Miguel's sounds of pleasure were ramping up my own. My cock was so hard it hurt. Tunneling in and out of his tight, hot passage, I felt like I was going to blow any second. But I didn't want it to be over so soon. It felt so good that I wanted it to last forever. "Baby, you feel so good."

I ran one hand down his sweat-dampened back, stopping at the dimples just above his ass cheeks. He was so beautiful. I couldn't get enough of him. I leaned over and kissed the back of his neck, down his spine, across to his shoulder blades. He tasted of clean sweat and something uniquely him. I ran my thumb around the place where my cock entered his body and wondered what it would feel like for Miguel to take me this way. My cock must have liked the idea because it got impossibly harder.

Miguel's channel tightened around me, and I groaned. "Zach," he panted. "I'm close. Touch me."

I wrapped my hand around his leaking cock. Using his precum to ease the glide, I pumped him in time with my thrusts, pausing occasionally to run my thumb over the sensitive head. His cock thickened and hardened in my hand. He threw back his head and let out a guttural cry as his passage clamped down on my dick and cum spurted over my hand and onto the comforter.

My rhythm faltered as pleasure raced down my spine and exploded over me. My other hand tightened on his hips, and I slammed into him one last time before releasing my load into the condom. I let out a low moan and had to stop myself from collapsing on top of him. I grabbed the base of the condom and slowly pulled out. As soon as I did, he fell to his side with a groan.

"Oh my god. How is sex with you so good?" he asked.

I chuckled. "I could ask the same question." I'd had no idea sex could be that good. It had never been like that with any of the women I'd dated. And I didn't think it was because they were women. I was certain it was Miguel. Something had drawn me to him from the moment I met him.

I went into the bathroom to get rid of the condom and grab a warm washcloth for Miguel. I cleaned him up and wiped off the comforter as best I could. I tossed the washcloth onto the floor and lay beside Miguel, pulling him into my arms. "We'll need to get under the covers eventually," he said.

"Yeah, I know," I murmured. "I need to cool off first. I just want to hold you."

He made a happy sound and snuggled into me, resting his head on my chest. I tightened my arm around him and kissed the top of his head. "This is nice."

He hummed softly in agreement. "Can I keep you?"

I inhaled deeply and inexplicably felt tears come to my eyes. "Yeah, baby, you can."

We fell asleep wrapped up in each other. Sometime in the middle of the night, we got under the covers, but Miguel glommed onto me again, so we woke tangled together. Judging by the pale light coming through the window, it was still early. I reached over the edge of the bed to grab my pants so I could look at my cell phone for the time.

"What time is it?" Miguel mumbled.

I looked at my phone. "Six twenty-seven."

"Why?" he whined. "Why are you awake at stupid o'clock on your day off?"

"Habit," I replied with a chuckle. "I usually go for a run in the morning."

He grabbed my arm and tried to pull me down to him. "Nooo. Stay here with meee. I need at least another hour of snuggling."

I kissed his nose. "You are so stinking cute."

He growled in discontent, which just made him cuter, so, of course, I had to tickle him. He squealed and wriggled away before tackling me to the bed and getting on top of me. "Ha-ha! Now who's on top?"

I executed a perfect flip so he was on his back and I was smiling down at him. I kissed his nose again. "That would be me."

"No fair, you have military training," he pouted.

"But now look where I am. Right where you wanted me." I kissed him softly. "And there's nowhere I'd rather be."

His eyes went soft and glassy. "Same." He put his arms around my neck and drew me down for a kiss that quickly turned smoking hot. Our hard cocks slotted next to each other, and Miguel grabbed my hips to pull me closer. We found our rhythm, grinding slowly at first until need took over and our bodies thrust together with increasing intensity.

My balls drew up and electricity shot up my spine. "Oh yeah, baby. Just like that."

The sounds of our grunts and groans filled the room. Our thrusts got faster and less coordinated. Miguel threw his head back. "Zach. Yes."

His cock pulsed beneath me and warm cum shot between us. That set off my own orgasm. My hips stuttered as pleasure washed over me. My cock hardened and thickened before my release joined Miguel's on our bodies.

I pushed up on my forearms. "Hey, cutie."

He rolled his eyes. "Fine. But only you get to call me cute."

"I am perfectly okay with that," I said. I kissed him again. "Let's shower and then get some breakfast."

"Sounds good."

We had just finished our rather lengthy shower when my conversation with my sister came back to me. "Oh shit, I forgot."

"Forgot what?" Miguel asked.

"Allie's bringing Cody over around eleven because she has to work and couldn't find a sitter." I winced. "I'm sorry. I told her yes without asking you first."

Miguel shook his head. "It's fine. He's a great kid. We can take him out on the boardwalk and maybe walk on the beach if it's not too chilly."

I let out a relieved breath. "Thanks. I promise next time I'll ask you first."

He came over and put his arms around my waist. "Zach, it's family. For what it's worth, I probably would have done the same thing if Isabella had asked me to watch her kids at the last minute. It's what we do."

I hugged him back and kissed his forehead. "Has anyone ever told you how awesome you are?"

"Only you," he replied quietly.

I leaned away from him. "Come on. Are you telling me your bestie never told you that you're awesome?"

"That doesn't count," he said. "He's supposed to think I'm awesome. I've never had a boyfriend tell me I'm awesome."

My heart did a crazy dance in my chest. "Boyfriend?"

Miguel's eyes went wide when he realized what he'd just said. "I'm so sorry. It just slipped out. I know we've only been dating for a couple of days. I wasn't trying to put any pressure on you."

He tried to step out of my embrace, but I wouldn't let him go. "Slow down, baby. I'm not upset, just surprised. I didn't think you'd want anything like that so soon."

"I don't." He shook his head. "That's a lie. I do. But you're new to this whole dating men thing. I don't want to seem like I'm trying to tie you down before you have a chance to explore other options."

I felt a twist in my gut at his words. I didn't want to explore other options. It hurt me to think Miguel was so used to getting cast aside. "Okay, let me set something straight with you." He snorted, and I chuckled. "Or maybe not so straight." I kissed him gently. "I don't want to date anyone but you. This thing between us didn't happen overnight, at least not for me. I've been drawn to you from the first time I met you. I just didn't relate it to my sexuality until recently. I've never felt so connected to anyone I've dated. If you want to call us boyfriends, I'm all for it. I don't want to share you with anyone else."

Miguel looked up at me, his eyes shiny. "I'm still trying to figure out how no woman snagged you when they had a chance." He shook his head. "Their loss. My gain." He settled further into my embrace. "I would love to call you my boyfriend."

Relief washed over me. I hugged him tightly. "You have no idea how happy that makes me."

We got dressed and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast. I cooked the bacon while Miguel made scrambled eggs and toast. It felt so domestic, like we'd been doing it for years instead of days.

After breakfast, we cleaned up and then combed through the apartment, making sure anything breakable or harmful was out of Cody's reach. Miguel already had covers on all the outlets within his reach because his niece and nephew used to visit.

Allie got to our place a little after eleven. Cody was super excited to see Miguel and started singing the Bruno song. Allie groaned, "No more. Please."

She looked tired and stressed. Her brows were drawn together in a frown. "Are you okay?" I asked. "You look like something's bothering you."

Her eyes widened slightly, and she quickly shook her head. "Nothing's wrong. I'm just a little tired. Cody's a lot sometimes."

"You know I'll help any time I can, Allie."

She put her hand on my arm. "I know. You're the best uncle Cody could ask for. It's just not the same as having someone around to be a dad to him."

I pulled her into a hug. "Be patient, Allie. Someday, you'll meet someone who'll be perfect for both you and Cody."

"I hope you're right. It would be nice not to be alone all the time."

After Allie left, Miguel said, "She looked really down. Is something wrong?"

"I don't know. I think she's stressed about having to take care of Cody mostly on her own."

"She'll meet someone someday," he replied.

"That's what I told her. I just hope she picks a better man the next time."
