Page 174 of Once in a Lifetime, Part 2

Ody’s chest tightened, his gaze moving between his eyes. Then he pulled him in, their mouths crashing together. Mano’s back hit the tiles as Ody pressed into him, the kiss deepening, consuming, like he couldn’t get enough.

Then, he pulled back and stepped out of the shower.

Mano blinked. “Where are you going?”

Seconds later, Ody returned with the lube. “You know how well this stuff slides when it hits water?” He opened the cap and squeezed some onto his fingers. His eyes stayed on Mano as he moved his hand to his ass, guiding him slightly forward, away from the wall. His finger slid between his cheeks without breaking eye contact. Mano’s breathing grew heavier.

His fingertip found his opening and pushed in slowly. Mano exhaled, his brows drawing together. Ody eased his finger deeper, watching the strained expression on Mano’s face, so erotic it made something twist low in his stomach. “Don’t look at me like that,” he whispered.

“Ody…” Mano said, his deep voice only driving him crazier.

“Yes, baby.” His finger moved more easily now, sliding in and out.

The sound of Mano’s ragged panting filled the shower.

“I love fingering you…” Ody murmured against his shoulder. “Fingering this perfect ass.”

“Don’t say… stuff like that,” Mano gasped.

Ody slowly slipped a second finger inside him. Mano’s breath caught, his body tensing. “O-Odysseus…” His hand tightened on Ody’s shoulder.

“I love it when you say my full name like that,” Ody said softly, pressing a kiss to his neck as his fingers worked deeper. “God, you feel so fucking good… always so tight for me.”

Mano’s head fell back against the tiles, his chest rising and falling fast as Ody worked him deeper, each slow push making his thighs tremble. “Mikre… fuck,” he whimpered.

“I love hearing you like this,” Ody said, curling his fingers just right, Mano’s abs tightening and releasing under his touch. “You act all tough in the gym, and then the second I touch you… look at you.” He kissed along Mano’s jaw, breathing him in. “Falling apart in my hands.”

Mano squeezed his eyes shut, a shaky sound slipping out of him.

“Look at me,” Ody said.

Mano forced his eyes open, hazy, pleading.

“That’s it…” Ody smiled against his lips. “My beautiful man.” He pulled his fingers out slowly, and Mano let out a helpless breath.

Ody reached for the bottle again, squeezing more lube into his palm as he stepped closer until their bodies touched. He turned him around and pinned his chest against the shower wall. Pressing his hard cock between Mano’s cheeks, he slicked him up, rubbing against him. “Fuck…” Ody breathed, his head spinning. “Arch your back for me.”

Mano shifted, planting his palms against the wall and arching back.

Ody slid into him, a low sound escaping from Mano’s throat. His hands moved over Mano’s ass as he thrust in and out, then went to his waist, gripping him. He moved harder, faster, Mano’s broken cries filling the space. Ody wrapped an arm around his chest, pulling him back against him. He pushed all the way in, and a desperate, breathless whimper tore from Mano as his eyes shut.

“Jesus, Mano, you’re perfect.” He kept thrusting, holding him there before pushing him forward. Mano’s face turned sideways against the tiles. Ody dropped to the side of his neck, biting into the skin, pulling a cry from him. His hand moved to Mano’s throat from behind, tightening as he thrust into him.

“Mano… I’m so fucking in love with you,” he breathed, his grip firm at his throat.

Mano’s sounds pushed him right to the edge. But not yet. He wanted more. Wanted to take his time, to keep him like this for as long as he could.

To hear his name fall from his lips again. To feel him come apart for him.

To have him, over and over.

They left the bathroom and got dressed, eating together not long after. Early in the afternoon, Ody said he wanted to go home and practice guitar.

“You’re taking this really seriously,” Mano teased.

“I really like it. I told you, I’ve always wanted to learn,” Ody said, a small smile forming. “And now I have another reason. It’s something we get to share. Something you love… I like that.”
