Chapter 11

Half a week later,both Eli and Parker had the night off. Parker had asked, very casually, if Eli wanted to hang out. Of course Eli had agreed, and he was driving over to Parker's house full of excited nerves.

It wasn't a date. Neither had uttered that word, but it was something, and Eli was more sure than ever that he wanted a relationship with Parker. The longer he stayed in Moonlight Falls, the more he could see himself living here. Even if Parker wasn't interested, Eli was tempted to look into what kind of career he could build here.

While that was all exciting, and he had a few ideas about the work he could do, it wasn't important tonight. His mind was focused on kissing and other things.

Eli knocked on Parker's door, wondering what Parker would do if he just flung himself into his arms.

Parker's eyes swept over Eli as he opened the door, and Eli almost pounced. "You're killing me with that look."

Eli blinked. "What look?"

"Ha." Parker grabbed him by the hand and pulled him inside. "Like you don't know."

Eli was going to say he really didn't, but Parker hadn't let go of his hand. He let himself be led all the way to the kitchen, just enjoying the heat of Parker's palm against his.

"Want a drink?" Parker asked.

"Sure." Eli tried not to regret his choice when it meant Parker had to let go of him.

Parker opened two beers and handed one to Eli. "I thought maybe we could play pool, then have dinner later."

"Pool?" Eli couldn't stifle his groan. "You better not say I need practice again."

"No, I just had fun playing with you last time." Parker flashed a dazzling smile before sipping his drink.

Eli blushed.

Parker only smiled wider. "Come on."

They started a game, and this time, there was no doubt Parker was flirting. He was smiling and teasing and couldn't keep his hands off Eli, who turned to putty almost instantly. They kept missing their shots, which only made things more fun.

When Eli finally got a ball in, Parker kissed him.

He backed Eli into the pool table, his hands cradling Eli's face. Parker kissed Eli like he wasn't holding anything back, his tongue taking over Eli's mouth. It stole Eli's breath and made his mind go blank. All he could focus on was everywhere they touched.

Eli perched on the table, legs spread, and pulled Parker in so their bodies were flush. He gripped Parker's broad shoulders and kissed him back like his life depended on it.

"I've never wanted to kiss someone so much," Parker murmured into Eli's mouth.

Eli only managed a groan in response. Part of him still couldn't believe Parker was into him. The other part of him just wanted to see Parker without his shirt.

Eli pulled back and briefly dipped a hand under Parker's T-shirt, skimming his abs. He let his hands roam, mapping Parker's chest, then back, feeling him flex. "You feel so good," he breathed.

Parker leaned in close until his hard cock pressed against Eli's inner thigh. "So do you."

Eli wrapped his arms around Parker's neck and drank in the lusty expression on Parker's face. He liked seeing Parker's full lips reddened from kissing him. It made him ache.

Parker's eyes flashed mischievously. "There's that look again." Before Eli could respond, Parker picked him up in one fluid motion, grip firm on his ass.

Eli gasped and wrapped his legs around Parker's waist. He clung to Parker's shoulders. How was this the most thrilling thing that had ever happened to him? He'd never have thought being carried would be a turn-on.

"I got you," Parker murmured. He took Eli out of the pool room and down the hall to his bedroom. "This okay?" Parker asked as they entered the room.

"Yeah," Eli breathed, looking down at Parker for once. "You can carry me anywhere you damn well please."

Parker huffed a laugh before tossing Eli down on his bed. "Good to know."

Eli lay back and spread his legs, allowing Parker to settle between them. Excitement coursed through Eli as Parker's weight came down on him. They were in bed together.

Parker looked as thrilled as Eli. He threaded his fingers through the hair at the back of Parker's head, holding on and letting the sensation of being pressed together fill his whole world.

Parker traced the line of Eli's jaw with his finger. "So you know, I got tested last month, and I'm negative."

Eli blinked, his heart rate picking up. Right. This was a chat they needed to have. "My last STI test was ages ago, but I, um, haven't been with anyone since. So I'm negative too."

"Sounds like we're all clear." Parker smiled. Eli nodded. "We can go back to kissing now."

That sounded good to Eli. Only, he was more nervous now than he'd been a second ago. "I haven't been with a man before," he whispered, needing to make it clear.

"That's okay." Parker laid a soft kiss on his lips. "I want you because I like you, Eli, not because I have any expectations of what we'll do in bed together. Being with a new partner is about learning what the other person likes. It's not a performance or a test. We're doing this together."

"You're right." A wave of lust swept over Eli, pushing his nervousness to the back of his mind. Parker being his understanding, caring self, turned him on. He felt safe, comfortable, and genuinely like he couldn't get this wrong. "I'm glad it's you I get to do this with for the first time."

"Me too." Parker kissed him, letting his lips linger. "We don't have to do more than kiss. I'm enjoying getting to know this side of you. There's no rush for anything more."

Eli pulled Parker close, a pleasurable fluttering gripping his chest. "Okay."

Their lips met, and Eli got lost in the feeling of tongues tangling and hands exploring. He rocked his hips under Parker, and Parker moved with him, groaning into his mouth.

This time wasn't as overwhelming as when they'd kissed on the couch. Eli enjoyed every little thing about being close to Parker. His smell. The soft, hungry noises he made. His rough palm against his cheek.

True to his word, Parker didn't push them to do more than kiss. Eli liked knowing they could have done nothing else and Parker wouldn't have minded, but it wasn't enough for Eli. He needed more. Needed all of Parker. He'd waited so long to be in his arms, longer than the past month, longer than he'd known.

"Want to take off our clothes?" Eli asked when he thought the lack of skin-to-skin would kill him.

"Fuck yeah." Parker sat up, grinning and pulling off his shirt.

Eli stared. The man was beautiful. His muscles were defined, his chest dusted with short, coarse hair. Eli ran a hand over his pecs. Parker's eyes fell closed and his lips parted. Eli was drunk off that look of bliss alone. He swept the pad of his thumb over Parker's nipple, and Parker sucked in a breath.

Eli did it again. "You like that?"

"Yes." Parker smoldered down at him. "Feel free to pinch or bite my nipples if you're into it."

Fuck, this was hot. Eli was blown away by how deep his desire for Parker went. He wasn't thinking about it being his first time with a man anymore. He was wrapped up in Parker's reactions and all the possibilities between them, all the new things they could learn about each other, even after so many years. Eli wanted to make Parker feel good. He wanted to discover every little thing he liked.

Eli pinched Parker's nipple and was rewarded with a moan. His cock ached. He sat up and licked Parker where he'd pinched him, savoring the taste of his skin. Eli sucked and flicked his tongue against Parker's hard nipple as he reached for Parker's pants, popping the button.

"Oh fuck, Eli." Parker groaned, cupping the back of Eli's head, holding him close.

They only separated to get their pants and Eli's shirt off. When they were down to their boxer briefs, Parker raked his gaze over Eli. His attention lingered on Eli's chest, then on the bulge between his legs. The heat in Parker's eyes was addictive, and before he could think better of it, Eli pulled his underwear away, letting his dick spring free.

"Gorgeous," Parker rumbled.

Eli tingled all over. He pulled Parker back down on top of him, and his brain short-circuited. He'd never been this hyperaware of touch during sex. Their bodies pressed so close shattered Eli's world for what felt like the millionth time in the last few weeks. Parker and him together was everything.

As they kissed, Eli worked Parker's boxer briefs down. The moment their dicks brushed with nothing separating them, Eli made an obscene sound. Fuck, he was going to come just knowing they were completely naked together.

"You feel so good, Eli," Parker whispered in his ear as they moved. "I love feeling you against me. Love the way you can't hold back. You're so hot, baby. I can't stand it."

"Fuck." Eli stopped moving and took a second to breathe. "Parker, I've never felt anything like this."

Parker smiled at him, a lust-drunk glint in his eye. "Do you want to get off like this? I could jerk us both together." He wrapped a big hand around their cocks to demonstrate.

Eli whimpered. The sight of their two dripping tips pushed together, protruding from Parker's hand, was the most erotic thing Eli had ever seen. He wouldn't last more than a stroke or two if Parker did what he'd suggested.

"Can I suck you off?" Eli panted, desperate not to come yet.

"Godyes." Parker let go of them and leaned down to kiss him. "Love your mouth on me."

Eli loved his mouth on Parker too. He loved the reactions he got from playing with his nipples, so he figured his mouth on Parker's dick would be even better.

Parker climbed off him and lay back on the pillows. He looked like a god, chiseled and tanned, face flushed from fooling around. Eli could have watched him for an eternity.

He settled between Parker's legs and wrapped his hand around Parker's flushed erection. He stroked it, watching Parker's hooded gaze track the movement. Someone else's cock felt so different from his own. Parker was thicker than he was, longer too, but it was more than that. Knowing he was touching Parker made his chest warm and his insides squirm with pleasure.

Eli needed to taste him. He leaned down and swiped his tongue over Parker's tip, lapping up the precum beading at his slit. Eli groaned at the taste as Parker let out a satisfied oomph. He explored with his tongue, from Parker's balls, up his shaft, and back down again.

"That feels amazing, Eli," Parker moaned, his hand resting lightly on Eli's head.

Eli appreciated the praise. He knew this wouldn't be the most skilled blowjob Parker had ever received, but that didn't matter. This was about the two of them together and showing Parker how much he liked him.

Eli took Parker's cock into his mouth and sucked on his tip. The stretch of his lips felt obscene and totally exciting. He bobbed his head experimentally, letting his tongue do some more exploring.

Parker ran a hand through Eli's hair. "Yeah, like that."

Eli did it again before taking Parker a little deeper. He groaned as he sucked, the sensation of Parker filling his mouth better than he'd imagined. He couldn't take Parker all the way down, at least not without more practice, but he wanted to be filled as much as possible. He wanted Parker to come in his mouth.

He worked Parker more vigorously, smiling when Parker gave a tiny thrust of his hips. Eli looked up, cock still in his mouth, and caught Parker's eye. He looked wrecked, maybe even desperate. Eli bobbed his head, keeping his gaze on Parker as best he could. He didn't want to miss any of this.

"You're gorgeous with my dick in your mouth." Parker's voice was rough. His hips twitched again. "Fuck, keep doing that, and I'm gonna come."

Eli sucked as enthusiastically as he could. Soon, Parker moaned one last warning, his hands tugging gently on Eli's hair. Eli didn't pull off, and Parker came in his mouth. The sensation was a bit startling, even though Eli was expecting it, but his shock only turned him on. He liked being overwhelmed by Parker. Eli kept sucking, drinking Parker down, and basked in the feel of Parker's cock jerking against his tongue.

He pulled off and wiped his mouth. His whole body felt hot, aching with longing. Fuck, he couldn't wait to do that again.

"Come here." Parker tugged Eli up the bed until he was on the big man's lap. "That was amazing."

"Yeah?" Eli smiled, sure his cheeks were as red as humanly possible.

"Yeah." Parker leaned in and kissed him, sweeping his tongue over Eli's. "Now it's your turn if you want?"

Eli went momentarily lightheaded. "Yes, I'd love that."

Parker gave him a devilish grin. He didn't waste any time getting between Eli's legs, but he didn't go right for his cock. Parker kissed Eli's belly button before moving to his hips and thighs. He nuzzled his nose against Eli's groin and let out a rumbling groan.

Eli was leaking precum and knew there was no way he'd last. The sight of Parker kneeling before him was a literal dream.

Parker made eye contact as he took Eli into his mouth. Eli couldn't stop the sound he made, not that there was any reason to. He wanted Parker to know how good he was making him feel. Parker's mouth was hot and tight as he sucked, and he did this magic thing with his tongue. Eli ran his hands through Parker's hair, and in no time at all, his orgasm was building.

"Parker," he whined in warning. "Gonna make me come."

Parker only took him deeper, sliding down Eli's shaft until his nose met the hair framing his cock. With a shout, Eli came down his throat, the image of Parker swallowing cemented in his mind forever.

Eli flopped back onto the pillows, pulling Parker up to join him. "I want to do that every day."

Parker chuckled, throwing an arm over Eli. "I don't see any reason why we can't."
