“Is that alright?” Caden asked, quickly lifting his mouth and hoping for some validation.

“Relax and open your throat. It helps with taking a cock deeper and minimizes the gagging reflex. But other than that, you’re doing amazing, stud.” Lucas smiled, continuing to play with Caden’s facial hair.

Receiving such praise made the butterflies in Caden’s stomach do flips on their own.

He needed more. He needed to kiss Lucas’s lips.

Without warning, he popped off Lucas’s dick, then slid his large body on top of the boy, pinning him to the bed as he searched for Lucas’s mouth.

With his full weight on top of Lucas, Caden’s hands clawed at Lucas’s sides, grabbing hold of his ass as he gave it a hard squeeze.

He was desperate. He was horny. He was so fucking turned-on.

The boy’s body tensed. He went still and cold for a moment before he began pounding his fists against Caden’s chest.

What the fuck? Was this part of the foreplay?

“No. NO!” Lucas screamed, pounding hard against his body.

Below him, Lucas’s eyes were shut tight as he continued to fight against Caden’s thick body.

“Luc—” Caden began before he realized that the boy was panicking.

He quickly jumped off Lucas, falling off the bed and hitting his head hard against the nightstand.

“Ow,” Caden groaned, struggling to sit up while rubbing the sore spot at the back of his head. “Lucas, are you—” His voice cut off.

Lucas was lying on the bed, curled up on his side, sobbing.

What the hell just happened? Did he hurt the guy?

Cautiously, he reached up onto the bed and gently touched Lucas’s bare shoulder. The boy flinched, then continued sobbing.

Slowly, Caden got up from the floor and settled down on the bed next to Lucas.

“Hey, what’s going on, babe?” He wasn’t sure what had happened. One minute they were going at it like bunnies in heat, then the next, Lucas was freaking out like he was being attacked.

Attacked.

Attacked!

Had he…?

“I’m sorry if I scared you,” Caden said softly, gently caressing the boy’s shoulder, trying to offer him some comfort. He wasn’t exactly sure what the boy needed or how best to comfort the man.

Shaking his head, Lucas peered up at him through tear-stained lids.

“I-I’m sorry. Having your body suddenly on top of mine like that gave me flashbacks of my ex. I… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to freak out on you like that.” He covered his face with his hands and continued to sob.

Caden’s heart sank. He never wanted to see Lucas in pain or agony, and knowing that he was the cause of such a traumatic experience, made him feel like the biggest asshole in the world.

“Shhh, none of that. You never need to apologize to me. I’m sorry for not being more sensitive to your needs. I was caught up in the moment and didn’t think that perhaps someone who escaped an abusive relationship might have a few triggers when being intimate in the bedroom.”

Lucas just lay there, hands still covering his face. Shivering.

Caden reached for the covers and gently pulled them up over the boy’s body. Lucas welcomed them, folding himself further into the blanket and letting out a gentle sigh.

“I’m going to run downstairs and get you some water. Do you want me to grab anything else for you?”

Lucas shook his head.

Nodding, Caden grabbed his underwear off the floor and made his way down the ladder to the makeshift kitchen below. He grabbed two bottles of water and then bounded back up the ladder once again.

“Here, take a few sips. It might help you feel better.”

Lucas reached for the bottle and did as he was told.

“Do you want me to leave?” Caden asked, still unsure what he needed or wanted. He had never dealt with anyone who had escaped an abusive relationship before.

“No. Stay. Can you come cuddle up against me?” Lucas asked, lifting the back of the blanket.

“Of course I can. You let me know what you need, babe.”

Sliding in behind Lucas, he let the boy guide his arms into a position that he was comfortable with.

“I’m sorry again if I ruined your night,” Lucas whispered, arms wrapped tightly around Caden’s.

“You didn’t ruin anything. This is still the best date I have ever had. And now, I get to cuddle up against the sexiest man I’ve ever met.”

Lucas chuckled. “God, I’m a mess.”

Caden squeezed his body gently.

“No, you’re not. You had something horrible happen to you, and now your body just needs some time to adjust. You just let me know what I can do to help or what you need from me.”

“This. Just being patient and holding me close like this helps. I think the fact that you were on top of me and I suddenly felt trapped is what scared me. In this position, I can still escape from the front if I need to.”

Caden kissed the back of Lucas’s neck lightly.

“Whatever you need, babe. I’ll always have your back.”

Lying close, Caden listened to their hearts beat together. While he might not have busted a load, this, right here, was so much more fulfilling.

He nestled in closer to the boy, enjoying the feel of his body snuggled up against his.

Caden breathed in his scent as he listened to the steady rhythm of his calming heart.

He would be whatever the boy needed. Whenever he needed it. The boy was his to protect. His to care for. His to grow to…

Slowly, his lids closed, and sleep overcame him.
