hot ring of muscles.
“ Oh god .”
“Good?”
“Yesss,” Mike hissed.
Alexei was fairly impressed to feel Mike’s
cock start to harden against his hip. He began to plunge his fingers in and out
of Mike’s poor, abused hole.
Mike let out a huge sigh. “Thank you.”
“For this?” Alexei asked with a smile,
tugging at Mike’s rim and making him shudder.
“No. Well, yes,” he said, and Alexei could
feel Mike’s smile against his skin. “But also for tonight. Best Christmas
present ever.”
Alexei’s hand froze until Mike mewled in
protest. He resumed thrusting into Mike, teasing his rim with a third finger.
Mike hitched his leg higher, opening himself up in an invitation Alexei had no
intention of refusing. It was a tight fit.
Mike gasped, but it was a happy sound.
“Michael,” Alexei asked curiously. “What
exactly do you think was your Christmas present?”
Mike hummed contentedly. “You know,” he said
softly, though it sounded a little bit like a question.
Alexei chuckled and didn’t bother to clarify.
Chapter Four
Mike woke up with a start, sprawled out
across the bed on his stomach. He would have thought it was just a bad dream
that caused him to wake if Alexei hadn’t bolted upright in bed beside him.
Someone pounded on the door at the same
moment that Mike’s phone started to buzz on the nightstand.
Alexei put a hand on Mike’s back before he
jumped from the bed and tugged on his robe. “You stay here. I’ll go see what’s
going on.”
There were only so many people who knew
where they lived, let alone how to get to their door, so Mike wasn’t worried,
per se. Though it wasn’t like any of those people to beat down their door
at—Mike reached for his phone—six o’clock in the morning. And on Christmas Eve— a
day off —no less.
Mike was alarmed to see he’d already missed
two calls from Rupert and three from Callum. He didn’t bother to call either of
them back, though, as he could just make out Rupert’s voice through the bedroom
door.
He sounded worked up about something.
Mike dropped his head back onto the pillow
and gave himself a couple minutes to wake up properly while he waited for
Alexei to return. He’d been looking forward to having a long, lazy morning in
bed, and was still holding out hope that it would be possible.
When Alexei came swinging through the
bedroom door, already shrugging out of his robe on the way to the bathroom,
that hope was extinguished.
“What’s up?” Mike called after him.
“I’m not sure,” Alexei admitted, his voice
echoing against the tiles a moment before the shower turned on. He immediately
returned to the bedroom, steam billowing out the door behind him. “Gabriel
called, apparently, and Rupert and Callum need to go to Pathways. They asked if
we could hang out with the boys until they get back.”
Mike lifted his head from the pillow. “Is
everything okay?” The Pathways Center was a local family and youth shelter and
community center, and Gabriel its director. Mike and Alexei, along with Rupert
and Callum and more and more of the Ice Cats organization, volunteered there
often and knew the center, and its staff, well.
“Yes. I think so. Rupert seemed excited, at
least, but I have no idea what about. I just agreed we’d get over there in the
next half hour. We can make the kids breakfast.”
Dreams of sleeping in and lazing in bed
with Alexei gone, Mike nodded his agreement and jumped to his feet. He
immediately swayed and reached for the bed post, but Alexei caught him first.
“Woah,” Alexei said, wrapping his arms
around Mike. “You okay?”
Mike huffed out a laugh. “Yeah,” he said, a
slow smile forming, “I’m great.”
He’d woken up aware that his ass was sore,
his rim hot and swollen. But he hadn’t realized his legs would still shake, or that
the heat would spread through him like this.
His cock twitched, filling, as he stood
still and took stock of myriad aches and pains and
