CHAPTER TWENTY

The next day, Viktor awoke and sat up in bed. Sunlight filtered into the bedroom through the slits in the blinds, and Gabriel was beside him, lying on his side in nothing but his underwear.

Viktor watched the slow rise and fall of Gabriel’s chest as he slept, his dark hair mussed against the pillowcase, his eyes shut and his dark lashes feathered out above high cheekbones and smooth skin.

He remembered the night before, how they’d had dinner, walked by the water, and eaten ice cream together. How Gabriel had fallen asleep in the car and Viktor had carried him to bed. Viktor had never done that with someone before, but it seemed Gabriel was bringing a lot of changes into his life and making him see another side of himself.

Leaning in, Viktor pressed a brief kiss to Gabriel’s lips before pulling back and observing him. Gabriel stirred a little but otherwise remained asleep, and Viktor couldn’t stop his lips from tugging upwards. He got out of bed, dressed, and then went to his office, where he worked non-stop for hours.

By mid-afternoon, when Viktor had finished for the day, he left the office in search of Gabriel. He was expecting to find him in the art room, painting. Instead, he was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, his eyes on the TV before him. His lithe body was relaxed against the cushions, and he hadn’t noticed Viktor yet, so he observed Gabriel for a while, enjoying the view of him and feeling his dick beginning to harden.

Gabriel turned his head and looked at him, and they made eye contact. After a brief moment, Gabriel smiled and said, “Hi.”

A heavy feeling bloomed in Viktor’s chest and spread throughout his body as they gazed at each other, and it turned him on even more. They were alone, and Viktor knew they would be for a few hours. Sasha was out in the city running errands, and all the guards were outside, stationed to watch the property. Nothing and no one could interrupt them, and it tempted him.

Viktor felt his arousal swell thicker in his underwear and press uncomfortably against the seam of his jeans as he stood there watching Gabriel. And Gabriel stared back at him, as if mesmerized by the eye contact. Something unexplainable came over Viktor and he snapped. All he saw was Gabriel, and at that moment, Gabriel was all he wanted.

Viktor went to him and pressed him into the sofa before smashing their lips together. Gabriel gasped and kissed him back, wrapping his legs around Viktor’s waist and yanking him closer until they were tight against each other, their mouths still attached and moving in unison, growing more intense by the second.

His heart pumped faster, and he pulled his lips away to unbuckle his belt, unzip his jeans, and pull out his engorged thick cock. He was already hard and throbbing, and he stroked himself quickly from base to tip as Gabriel hurried out of his pants and yanked off his underwear, revealing his creamy bare thighs and semi-hard pink cock, and spread his legs to reveal his little hole. He pulled off his shirt, exposing pert nipples and smooth bare skin from head to toe.

Viktor pulled off his own shirt and tossed it to the side before removing his jeans and underwear. He then grasped Gabriel’s waist with one hand, and used the other to guide his cock into Gabriel’s hole, his eyes almost rolling back into his skull as tight warm bliss welcomed him inside. They both groaned in unison, and Viktor stayed planted deep inside him for a short moment before slowly sliding back. He then plunged in again, their skin slapping together on impact.

Gabriel hooked his arms under his knees and spread his legs open wider as he took the pounding, his mouth parted and his eyes dazed as he stared up at Viktor. His dick was hard and pointed up toward his flat stomach, and he moaned as he kept eye contact with him. Viktor intensified his thrusts, ramming in all the way like he was a man possessed or a man starved of sex. He was neither of those things, but Gabriel made him lose control, and he could do nothing but succumb to his deepest primal need.

Gabriel was panting now, using one hand to jerk himself off. “Yes, oh fuck, so deep. Fuck me.”

The sound of slapping and the smell of sweat filled the living room as he rode Gabriel’s tight hole, feeling as he stretched around his rock-solid cock. Viktor leaned in and Gabriel wrapped an arm around his shoulder, yanking him down and kissing him as Viktor continued pumping inside him. After a few more thrusts, Viktor pulled back and roared as he came in thick spurts, keeping inside Gabriel the entire time, and watching as he gasped and shot semen up onto his stomach and chest.

Viktor crumpled down, then rolled over on the sofa to lie on his back against the soft cushions. Gabriel crawled up onto his chest and lay on top of him as they rested for a few moments and caught their breath. Viktor sat up slightly in his reclined position and Gabriel moved until his ass was on his groin. Gabriel then reached behind himself, grasped Viktor’s still-hard cock, and lifted his hips before sinking down onto it entirely.

Groaning, Viktor reached for Gabriel’s waist, holding on to him as he rose and then dropped back down to the base, taking his cock whole. Gabriel sat for a moment, pink flushing across his nose and cheeks, his eyes lidded and his dark hair flicking out in a sexy mess that fell over his face. He pressed his palms into Viktor’s chest and bit his lower lip as he rolled his hips, moaning softly before rising and dropping again. He continued this motion until he was riding Viktor hard, panting and whimpering with every bounce.

Viktor stayed still and watched with lidded eyes as Gabriel lost himself in the pleasure, how he bounced and moaned and bit his lip. Taking hold of Gabriel’s heated hips with both hands, Viktor began rocking up into his smaller body, watching as Gabriel threw his head back and whined loudly before shouting, “Viktor!”

Hearing his name almost made Viktor shoot again, but he didn’t want this moment to end so soon, so he held off and continued plunging deep into Gabriel’s body, breathless, sweaty, and consumed with hot pleasure that pushed him further to the edge.

“Good boy,” Viktor murmured. “So good.”

“Y-yes,” Gabriel whimpered as he continued riding him, his dick hard and bouncing. “I’m gonna come again.” He gasped and shut his eyes, his expression contorting into bliss as goops of semen jolted out of him.

The same bout of blinding pleasure grew in Viktor until he shut his eyes and growled, sending his seed into Gabriel’s trembling body a second time. Still planted deep inside him, Viktor stopped moving his hips and lay still, feeling himself slowly coming back to normal.

Gabriel rested his head on his chest and Viktor wrapped his arms around him, holding him where he belonged. They stayed that way for a while, until Gabriel lifted his head and connected their lips in a brief kiss.

Still lying stomach down on top of him, Gabriel licked and sucked at his nipple, earning a shiver from Viktor, and when Gabriel lifted his head to look at Viktor he was smiling, his cheeks were flushed pink, and his eyes were glossed over like he was blissed out.

“That was... the best sex I’ve ever had. I don’t remember ever coming twice with a guy before.”

Viktor didn’t want to think about the other men who’d had Gabriel in the past. He knew it was back when they hadn’t yet known each other, so he was able to accept it and move on. But from now on, Viktor saw Gabriel as belonging only to him. He was his boy, and no one else could even dare to lay a finger on him.

Gabriel rested his chin on Viktor’s chest and watched him intently, his brow furrowed. “What’s wrong?” he asked.

“I’m the only man you’ll have from now on, Gabriel,” Viktor said. “No one else.” He reached for Gabriel’s hair, maintaining eye contact as he caressed his soft, wavy dark locks.

“Okay,” Gabriel said, his voice gentle. “Only you can have me. I belong to you. I’m all yours.” He smiled, then said in a softer voice, “I only want you.”

Viktor gazed at him, feeling his heart jolt. Everything about Gabriel was irresistible, and the sight of him was tempting Viktor to fuck him again, especially when he spoke like that. But they were both spent, and they’d had enough for now.

Taking hold of Gabriel’s chin, Viktor kissed him. “Let’s get cleaned up,” he said.

Gabriel nodded and eased off him before standing by the sofa on shaky legs. Viktor got up and collected their clothing from the floor before walking to the laundry to drop them into the hamper. Gabriel had followed him to the door, naked and shivering slightly. Taking his hand, Viktor walked him down the hall and into the master bedroom, then into the connecting bathroom where he opened the glass door and got the shower started before they both stepped inside.

They remained quiet for a few moments as warm water lightly sprayed down on them. Reaching for the body wash, Viktor turned to face Gabriel, who was standing by the tile wall, watching him. After depositing a dollop in his hand, he squeezed some into Gabriel’s palm too before beginning to scrub himself.

Gabriel slowly rubbed his hand over his chest and down to his stomach, still observing Viktor with intent eyes. There was something about Gabriel’s gaze that drew Viktor in and held him there like a powerful magnet, and he couldn’t pull away from it.

“You don’t call me toy anymore,” Gabriel said.

Viktor paused. Gabriel’s big brown eyes were still pinned on him. His hair was wet, he was naked, and he was completely open and vulnerable. Seeing him this way sent a strange feeling rushing through Viktor’s body.

At first, he hadn’t realized it, but he didn’t see Gabriel as a toy anymore. He saw him as Gabriel , a young man who liked to paint and who felt deeply. He was not a toy, but a lover, and that’s how Viktor preferred it now.

“All those other guys only used me for sex,” Gabriel said in a small voice. “I thought it was like that with you too, when you made me your toy, but...” Gabriel shook his head and glanced away, a subtle smile on his lips. “It’s not like that now, is it?” He looked up at Viktor again, searching his eyes. “It doesn’t feel like you’re only keeping me around to use me for that anymore.”

“You’re not a toy. I don’t see you like that anymore, Gabriel,” Viktor murmured.

Gabriel continued to gaze up at him, quiet, vulnerable, and tempting him all over again. But his desire was not purely sexual. Viktor knew there was something deeper between them, and he felt a mixture of excitement and contentment when he was with Gabriel. He had an intuitive feeling that this was how they were supposed to be—together, like this. Gabriel had already willingly given himself to him, and he was the only one Viktor craved. The only one he needed.

His sister’s death and the criminal lifestyle had jaded him into believing he could never love someone, but Gabriel made him realize he’d been wrong. Viktor couldn’t deny that he’d fallen for Gabriel, and he’d fallen hard. He cupped Gabriel’s face with both hands and looked into his dark eyes before connecting their lips and kissing him long and deep.
