“Show me.”

Quickly, Andrew took off his jacket and let it fall to the floor. After removing his waistcoat and shrugging off his suspenders, he began to fumble with the buttons on his pants. Once his cock was free, he took it into his hand, readying to stroke himself and for Edwin to watch, but before he could start, Edwin grabbed his free hand and began pulling him over to the sofa. Andrew let go of his cock and held up his pants while he walked.

“Edwin! Customers sit there!” Andrew pointed out through a chuckle. “And I’m not sure if I have any clean sheets left to throw over the cushions!”

He stopped walking, and Edwin stopped too.

“What if . . .” Andrew’s stomach swooped as an idea popped into his head. “What if we go across the hall instead?”

To Andrew’s surprise, Edwin immediately began pulling him toward the door. Andrew’s cock had somehow stayed completely rigid, and it bobbed up and down while they walked across the hall. Andrew could hardly believe that Edwin had agreed to the suggestion. Edwin had never even seen his bedroom before.

Once they crossed the threshold into Andrew’s bedroom, Edwin froze in place. He began looking around while Andrew shut the door and kicked off his shoes. Barefooted, Andrew came up behind Edwin and wrapped the man up in a backward hug, his pants almost falling off of him. When Andrew bent down to kiss Edwin’s neck, he noticed unmistakable tension in Edwin’s shoulders, and a sudden heaviness settled in his chest. Perhaps he shouldn’t have suggested this.

“Don’t worry, Edwin, we can keep everything the same,” he promised softly. “Nothing has to change.”

Edwin stayed quiet for a moment. Andrew pressed a kiss to Edwin’s neck over his collar, inhaling Edwin’s scent while he waited for a reply.

Abruptly, Edwin whirled around.

“What if I . . . want something to change?” he asked.

Andrew’s heart fluttered, the heaviness he’d been feeling lifting immediately.

“Like what?” Andrew said.

“Get on the bed,” Edwin replied forcefully.

Andrew could only nod as possibilities swirled in his head. Did Edwin finally want pleasure himself too? Or did Edwin have something else in mind? Whatever it was that Edwin wanted to change, Andrew was excited for it.

After kicking off his pants, Andrew climbed onto his bed, and then he proceeded to kick his drawers off too. Lying back, he hooked his left arm behind his head so that he could be comfortable. Edwin then clambered up onto the mattress next to him. He had removed his shoes but otherwise stayed fully clothed as he lay down, too.

Both men’s eyes wandered to Andrew’s cock, which was still very erect, a bead of pre-ejaculate emerging from the tip.

“I’d like to touch you,” Edwin whispered. “May I?”

Elation and nervousness surged through Andrew’s veins in equal measure, and he sucked in a shuddering breath.

“Yes. Absolutely, yes,” he replied. “Oh, Edwin, I would love that.”

Andrew’s heart thundered as Edwin reached for his cock. But then Edwin paused. His hand stayed hovering inches above Andrew’s shaft for a long while, like perhaps the man was unsure of himself. Andrew’s breathing became shallow, and he started to feel vaguely lightheaded from all of the anticipation.

After another couple of beats of Andrew’s frantic heart, Edwin’s fingertips brushed Andrew’s cock. Andrew let out a soft sound, one that was almost a whimper, as Edwin slowly moved his hand up and down. Edwin’s featherlight movements sent a shiver up Andrew’s spine.

“It’s so soft,” Edwin said, a hint of wonderment in his voice. “Your skin feels so soft.”

“Edwin,” Andrew whispered through an exhale.

Edwin’s fingers were just barely touching him, though Edwin continued to move them. Up and down. Up and down.

“Oh, Jesus,” Andrew moaned.

Never had he experienced so much pleasure from such slight movements. Already more pre-ejaculate had begun leaking from the head of his cock.

“I’m sorry if I’m not doing this properly,” Edwin said quietly. “I’m nervous.”

Lost in a haze of bliss, Andrew huffed a laugh.

“It’s incredible.” Andrew lolled his head to the side and locked eyes with Edwin. “I might even finish from this alone.”
