“Yeah, well.” RJ held himself stiffly, trying not to let those old feelings out. They had no place here with Aaron and his earnest, sweet eyes. Aaron who didn’t even keep alcohol in his house, much less pills and heroin. Christ,Pan… even if they’d never have worked out long term for other reasons, RJ wished him clean and healthy.
“Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that admitting that I want to see where this goes? It’s a big deal. Understand? I’m not just saying it to make you happy or to get out of an awkward conversation. I’m saying it because I truly want to know where this could go too.”
“Are you sure, because—”
“Aaron. Stop. Listen to me. I want to try with you. You want to try with me.” RJ brushed his fingers over Aaron’s cheek again, slipping his fingers into the soft hair by his temple and bringing him close enough to kiss. “I’m not a patient man. So, let’s start now by trusting each other to be honest.”
“You honestly want to date me?”
“I’m your lover, aren’t I? Let me love you for as long as I can, or as long as you want me to.”
“That sounds a lot like a declaration,” Aaron said breathlessly.
“I guess it is, in its way. A declaration to love you until I go, or until you want me to stop.”
“I’ve never been loved before,” Aaron said. “I’ve been fucked a lot. But never loved.” He sounded so vulnerable, absolutely terrified, and his hands shook as he reached out to grip RJ’s shirt. “Even if it’s just for a few weeks, it could be interesting.”
“It could be phenomenal,” RJ said, feeling suddenly certain that given full permission to love Aaron for the next few weeks, he could love him so well that he’d never accept anything less for as long as he lived. Aaron needed that, deserved it. Loving him like this would be like a protection spell: it’d keep him safe forever.
RJ tugged Aaron into his lap, kissing his mouth and gripping his ass. Aaron gasped and wriggled. Chips and salsa were left uneaten as they pulled off their shirts and lost the fearful awkwardness of the conversation in hard kisses, greedy bites, and tingling nipple play.
Aaron’s mouth was a dirty thing, making RJ twist and gasp with his teeth and tongue on his nipples. He’d never enjoyed having his nipples tweaked before, but the rough play was tantalizing and urgent. Just what he needed to seal their reckless agreement to have feelings—albeit short-term feelings—and show them to each other.
Pushing Aaron away from his red, aching nipples, RJ worked to get him undressed. The lights from the tree spangled over Aaron’s pale skin.
“Good God, Mr. Danvers,” RJ breathed, shoving Aaron’s jeans down to reveal a black, lacy jockstrap. “Youwereplanning to get laid tonight, weren’t you?”
“By hook or by crook.”
“Lucky for me those other guys weren’t worth your time, huh?”
“Lucky formeyou know how to discipline an elf gone rogue.”
“Are you rogue, babe?”
Aaron lifted his mouth up for a kiss. “I think so. Maybe I’m freed.”
RJ rubbed their noses together as Aaron closed his eyes and trembled against him. “Santa’s a slaver, you know,” he whispered. “Keeping all those elves, forcing them to make toys.”
“RJ, just fuck me.”
“You don’t tell me what to do, Mr. Danvers.” He palmed Aaron’s hard cock pressing against the soft, lacy material, and then took handfuls of his fleshy ass, exposed and cold in the chilly living room. Aaron whimpered, likely from the bruises left behind by the ruler the night before.
RJ grinned. Time to leave a few more.
Chapter Twenty
Sunday turned intomore of the same: sleep, more sex, and heading out into the city to grab breakfast and lunch at various establishments rather than make it themselves. That aspect of the fling was eating into Aaron’s budget, but seeing RJ across from him in his favorite restaurants did something to him. It left him feeling proud.
“I don’t want to go,” RJ said, his things packed up as the flat, afternoon light coming in through the windows.
“It’s been amazing,” Aaron agreed, leaning against the kitchen counter by the Keurig, a mug of watery hot chocolate in hand. “I’ve never been fucked so many times, and in so many ways, in all my life.”
“It was an honor,” RJ said, grinning and slinking up to kiss Aaron’s neck. “I don’t know how I’m gonna top what we’ve already done. But I’m going to find a way. Just you wait.”
Aaron smiled, blushing. “The only thing that would have made it better would be…” He trailed off.
“What?”
