“If you think we can,” Christian said.

David’s bottom lip caught between his teeth. “It’s been...a while since I went without.”

Christian chuckled nervously. “I’ve never.”

David’s eyes widened. “What?”

“I’ve never gone bare before.”

He knew enough about going bare to know it felt better for both partners, and there tended to be less irritation for the person who received. Christian had always wanted to feel someone’s bare cock inside him, to know what it felt like to be bonded, skin to skin. Still, he’d never trusted a partner enough. He did not give trust easily, even though he tried to find the best in people. He would not throw away his health on a fling or a short-term boyfriend.

But for David? He’d do it in a heartbeat.

“Feels like that should be for a more special moment than me fucking you on a counter,” David said, eyes darting between Christian and the condom.

Christian laughed. “Are you kidding me? Just having you inside me is going to be romantic enough.”

David’s pupils swelled, but his grin returned. “A man of simple tastes.”

“And easy to please,” Christian told him.

David released him, taking the condom and tossing it absently onto the counter. The bottle of lube, however, was opened and placed nearby. Christian hummed happily a moment later when he was pulled into a hungry kiss, now facing David. It required him to stand on the tips of his toes to reach the man’s lips comfortably, but he considered it well worth it.

He jumped when he felt cold fingers, covered in lube, find their way to his hole. Christian wasn’t sure when David managed to coat his fingers, but he knew he could be pretty sneaky when he wanted. Instead, he moaned as the first digit slipped into him, sliding in and lubing his insides. A moment later, a second finger joined the first, drawing a low chuckle from him.

“Something funny?” David asked as he spread his fingers apart.

Christian grunted. “Just how patient you usually are with everything, but when it comes to sex, you’ve got zero patience.”

A third finger probed him as David grinned. “Maybe it’s your effect. Problem?”

Christian moaned as the third finger spread him open, making him clutch onto David harder. “God, no.”

“Good,” David murmured as he pushed his fingers deeper.

The tenderness from the night before was quickly lost as David’s fingers found the right place deep inside him. Christian arched his back, giving in almost immediately to the demands of David’s hands on him. As much as he loved to tease and tauntthe older man in their everyday lives, it was perfect giving in to David when he wanted Christian so plainly that he felt the need to claim him on the spot.

David broke the kiss, whispering harshly against his lips. “Lean on the counter, spread your legs.”

“Fuck,” Christian muttered.

But he didn’t argue. Extracting himself from David’s grip, he turned and did as he was told. In truth, he would have probably bent over double if David had ordered him to and would have gripped his ankles with a smile. Thankfully, he needed only to lean over the cool countertop and spread his legs, knowing he was putting himself on full display.

He didn’t have to wait long for David to take advantage. A hand came to rest on his lower back, pinning his hips against the counter with a firm hold. Christian looked over his shoulder, a shiver running through him when he caught David’s pale eyes locked on him as he moved forward. The next moment, he felt the blunt head of the man’s cock pressing against him.

And then, he opened for him. Christian bowed his head, moaning softly as he felt David’s cock slide into his stretched hole. He wasn’t sure if it was smoother because David had taken the time to open him, the fact that they hadn’t gone that long without sex, or the lack of a condom, or some combination of the three. What he did know was it felt absolutely amazing.

“Damn,” David hissed as he eased in halfway.

“Agreed,” Christian said with a shaky voice.

David’s cock still had to spread him wide. His fingers hadn’t done the job completely. Christian relished the feeling of the man’s cock sliding into him, filling him so much his body was forced to adjust. There was almost no burn this time, just the sensation of David, unimpeded and uncovered, moving deep into him. He would swear he could feel the man’s heartbeat without the condom, and his cock was already straining.

Christian was pressed harder against the counter when David reared back and slid into him again with a grunt. Christian didn’t need to be told to keep still as he felt David’s grip on his hips tighten, nails digging into his skin. It didn’t stop him from arching his back, though, or the wanton moans escaping his lips as David thrust into him again and again.

Skin met skin with a sharp slap each time David bottomed out, hitting Christian deeply and dragging desperate sounds from him. Never had he known sex to start so smoothly and escalate so rapidly into pure pleasure. He was never gladder that David’s house was far from the other buildings on base as he cried out with each thrust.

“Stamina isn’t going to be so good this time,” David warned.
