Jeff blinked hard, his brow furrowing as questions began to swirl unbidden into his sleep-addled mind. Why would Duane have such intimate ink on a finger that wasn't typically visible? Unless...unless it held special significance for him perhaps with someone in his past life?
As if sensing Jeff's scrutiny even through the slumbered haze, Duane stirred then too and opened eyes to half mast blinking up at the other male curiously. "Mornin'..." came out a husky rasp as he stretched languidly beneath the sheets before pulling Jeff into an embrace once more.
"Didn't peg you for one who'd be studyin' me while I slept," Duane drawled teasing, voice still rough with remnants of sleep and something else. "Got somethin' particular on your mind sugar?"
Jeff flushed at being caught staring so blatantly but gestured towards the telling tattoo peeking out from beneath the sheets, tangled around their waists. "'Papa? What's that stand for?" His tone tried to remain casual even as curiosity burned in those hazel eyes.
Duane glanced down quickly and then back up, expression unreadable for a long moment before he sighed deeply running one calloused hand through tousled blond locks. He sat them both upright propped against the headboard reaching for his pack of cigarettes on the nightstand only to pause remembering they'd been smoked out in passion last eve.
"I reckon that's my past," Duane finally said around a heavy exhale, lighting up and taking a deep drag before continuing "There was this fella...back home. Name of Pap." He glanced at Jeff sidelong through wispy smoke curling from his mouth.
"Had us quite the arrangement till he passed last year..." A shadow crossed Duane's handsome features then - grief, regret maybe? "'S why I left there to begin with after."
Jeff nodded slowly absorbing this revelation even as questions piled up in mind. What kind of "arrangement"? Who exactly was Pap and what role had he played in shaping the man now beside him?
But something about Duane's tone warned against prying too deep into wounds still healing, evident by tightness around his eyes, jaw clenched around the cigarette butt between his teeth.
Instead Jeff just leaned over to brush lips softly across that inked ring finger as if sealing a silent promise not to push further for now. "I'm sorry 'bout your loss," he murmured against warm skin before trailing his mouth up the inner arm until capturing Duane's in a slow, sensual kiss tasting faintly of cigarettes and something uniquely him.
Duane shivered visibly at the intimate contact and Jeff felt his own body responding to the proximity despite their intense coupling mere hours prior. He knew they needed more time...to talk openly about expectations, fears, hopes and dreams but for now this tender exploration would suffice building trust between them brick by careful brick...
Jeff settled back into bed pulling Duane down with him as he rolled onto his side facing the slightly younger man, one hand resting possessively over his hip bone. "Wanna shower together?" Jeff offered after a charged pause thickened by unspoken words hanging heavy in air.
Duane's eyes flashed at that suggestion and lips quirked upwards wickedly revealing dimples either missed before amidst scruffy stubble or simply too distracted to notice last night, lost as they'd been in passion's thrall.
"I thought you'd never ask," he drawled, rolling over top of Jeff pinning him down with hips nestling perfectly at the juncture between thighs.
Jeff gasped sharply feeling that thick cock already half-hard and insistent against his sensitive folds from their earlier coupling as Duane leaned in close to nip sharply along his jawline before murmuring lowly "Let's see if we can't make some more memories 'fore I gotta head out..."
With those loaded words, he captured Jeff's mouth again plundering deep with a tongue tasting faintly of smoke and morning breath that somehow only heightened arousal. Large hands began to wander, mapping out the landscape they'd explored so thoroughly just hours before as Duane set about stoking embers into raging inferno once more...
They stumbled to the bathroom in a tangle of limbs and heated kisses, hands groping greedily at every inch of exposed skin. The shower was already steaming by the time they climbed inside, hissing as the scalding water hit their sensitive flesh.
Jeff watched through hooded eyes as rivulets ran down Duane's sculpted chest and abs, tracing the lines he'd eagerly explored with fingers and tongue just hours ago. He reached out to run a hand along that tempting trail of hair leading from navel to groin before wrapping around an impressive erection already at full mast.
Duane groaned, head falling back against tiles as Jeff began stroking him slowly and teasingly, enjoying the power he had over this strong man reduced to putty in his hands. "Fuck...your hand feels so good," Duane panted reaching down himself to grasp Jeff's wrist guiding his rhythm faster and harder along his thick shaft.
But Jeff wasn't about to let him take control that easily not when they were both still tender and aching from their earlier marathon of passion, he had plans for them this morning too. He released Duane with a wicked grin moving instead to grab the soap lathering it between his palms until slick suds coated every inch.
Duane eyed Jeff warily as those slippery hands began roaming over broad shoulders, down muscular back and arms tracing each ridge of lean muscle appreciatively. "Whatcha up to now sugar?" he asked, his voice roughened with arousal even as hazel eyes glittered mischievously beneath wet lashes.
"Just want you nice 'n clean," Jeff purred lowly leaning in for a filthy kiss full of tongue and teeth before dropping suddenly to knees on shower floor. Duane's breath hitched loudly above him watching wide-eyed through steamy air as soapy hands slid up thick thighs pushing them further apart until he stood bared completely.
Jeff licked his lips at the sight, taking just a moment to admire how beautifully put together this man was before leaning in to mouth along inner thigh leaving open-mouthed kisses and love bites behind. He nuzzled into the coarse curls above that magnificent cock giving it an experimental lick from root to tip earning him another guttural groan.
"Mmm you taste even better than I imagined," Jeff murmured against flushed skin before taking just the swollen head past his lips suckling gently as he looked up at Duane through damp lashes. The effect was devastating, hazel eyes smoldering with desire and something deeper and more profound that made Duane's heart clench unexpectedly.
He tangled a hand into Jeff's wet hair encouraging him to take more even as warning bells began ringing distantly in mind this felt too intimate somehow, crossing lines they hadn't meant to blur but it was so hard to care when that warm mouth engulfed him so perfectly like he belonged there always...
Jeff could feel Duane trembling above, hips rocking subtly into the slick heat of his mouth and knew how close he must be after their exertions from before. So instead of taking pity, he doubled his efforts sucking harder, rolling his tongue around thick length as he pushed forward swallowing inch by hard inch until his nose brushed wiry curls.
"Oh fuck...Jeff..." Duane choked out eyes squeezing shut at the intense sensation even as fingers tightened their grip on damp locks guiding Jeff into a steady rhythm bobbing up and down his aching cock. Drool leaked from the corners of stretched lips, tears pricking behind eyelids but it was worth every second seeing this strong man undone above him lost to pleasure only he could give...
He knew Duane wouldn't last long not in his current state, so when Jeff felt that thick length throb and pulse against his tongue signaling impending release, he doubled his efforts again, sucking hard and fast wanting nothing more than for Duane to paint the back of his throat with hot cum.
"Jeff...I'm gonna...fuck..." Duane panted harshly above him, his warning falling on deaf ears as hips jerked erratically fucking into the welcoming mouth and desperately chasing climax. And then with a hoarse shout he was coming undone, cock pulsing and twitching as it spilled thick ropes of cum straight down Jeff's eager throat.
Jeff swallowed every last drop until Duane collapsed back against cool tiles, his chest heaving and gasping for air, hazel eyes glazed over in bliss. He knew they weren't done though not by a long shot, this was just the beginning of what promised to be an incredible day spent exploring each other inside and out...
Slowly rising on shaky legs Jeff reached up to cup Duane's face, tilting it down into a deep sensual kiss sharing his own unique flavor mingling with the lingering taste of cigarette smoke. When they finally broke apart both were panting softly, flushed cheeks tinged pink.
"Mmm you're pretty damn good at that," Duane praised gruffly swiping thumb across Jeff's swollen bottom lip before leaning in to nip sharply teasingly. "But I think it's my turn now..."
He spun them around so fast heads spinning, pinning Jeff against the slick tiles as he dropped down onto his knees without preamble spreading toned thighs wide apart exposing most intimate places still puffy and shiny with their mixed release from hours ago.
Jeff whimpered needily at the intense vulnerability of this position, bared completely to Duane's heated gaze, his body on full display for all its strengths and weaknesses. He felt exposed yet strangely safe in a way he hadn't experienced before like maybe...maybe here was where he truly belonged...
Duane took just a moment appreciating Jeff laid out so beautifully debauched before him, a work of art created by his own hands and mouth. The sight made something fierce swell up inside his chest cavity almost painful in its intensity.
Leaning forward slowly giving him time to pull away if he wanted (though from the desperate arching into contact it was clear that wouldn't be happening anytime soon) Duane pressed lips softly against Jeff's most sensitive flesh tasting traces of their lovemaking mingling with his own unique musk.
Jeff cried out sharply fingers scrabbling for purchase on slick tile above as hot mouth encircled him completely without preamble or warning just like he had craved sinking down until nose brushed coarse curls at the apex of trembling thighs.
Duane hummed against tender skin sending delicious vibrations zinging up Jeff's spine curling his toes tightly in response. He set a steady rhythm then alternating between long slow licks and hard fast suckles to the swollen bud, occasionally dipping his tongue just slightly inside fluttering rim teasingly before pulling back out leaving him achingly empty.
It was maddeningly pleasurable torture pushing Jeff rapidly towards the edge again even as his over-sensitized body protested at this new onslaught. But Duane seemed determined to wring every last drop of pleasure from Jeff's trembling form as he relentlessly pleasured his lover with lips and tongue, coaxing out desperate whimpers and moans that echoed off the tiled walls surrounding them in their steamy cocoon.
Duane could feel Jeff's thighs quaking against his cheeks, knew he was close again already. He wanted to push him over that precipice once more, wanted to taste his release a second time on his tongue as it pulsed out of him hot and thick.
Releasing one thigh from the bruising grip of strong hands, Duane brought a hand up between Jeff's legs instead. His calloused fingers found what they sought - slick folds swollen with arousal but still clenching tight around nothing.
"Duane!" Jeff keened high in his throat at this new touch on top of everything else and Duane felt a surge of masculine pride seeing him come undone so beautifully, putting on an erotic show just for him.
Not breaking the rhythm of licks and suckles over sensitive flesh above, Duane slowly pressed one long finger into Jeff's fluttering hole alongside his busy tongue. He set up a steady thrust and retreat matching the bobbing motions as he took Jeff deep again and again.
Jeff was babbling incoherently now lost to everything but sensation and pleasure radiating out from where they were joined most intimately. His climax crashed over him with the force of a tidal wave, back arching almost painfully off the slick tile surface as his body clenched down rhythmically around invading finger.
Duane worked Jeff through it patiently until he collapsed boneless against the cool ceramic behind in the aftermath. Pulling off gently Duane rose to gather his lover into strong arms cradling him close under warm spray washing away evidence of their passionate encounter.
They lingered there awhile simply holding each other as water cascaded around them, trading languid kisses and soft caresses. No words were needed right then - everything that mattered had been said without speaking, in the language of touch.
Finally they reluctantly disentangled and finished rinsing off before shutting off the taps to step out onto fluffy towels warming on heated rack beside the shower stall.
Jeff reached for Duane as soon as he straightened up, tugging him down into another deep kiss pouring all his gratitude and affection into it. When they separated again both were breathing harder eyes dark with renewed desire.
"I think we'd better continue this somewhere more comfortable," Jeff murmured suggestively running teasing fingers through damp chest hair lower to brush over the growing bulge beneath the towel wrapped snugly around trim waistline.
Duane shuddered at his touch, mustache twitching as he flashed a wicked grin. "I like how you're thinkin'," he drawled in that slow Southern cadence Jeff found so damn sexy before capturing his mouth again and sweeping him up into strong arms to carry him out of the steamy bathroom towards the waiting bedroom beyond.
They tumbled onto the plush bed together in a tangle of damp limbs and fluffy towels, hands roaming greedily as they kissed with fervor. The last vestiges of clothing were impatiently shed until finally there was nothing left between them but bare skin.
Duane paused then hovering above Jeff's sprawled form taking him all in - flushed cheeks, kiss-swollen lips parted around panting breaths, hazel eyes glazed over and darkened by desire for him alone. The sheer openness of it stole his breath.
He felt a strange tightness in his chest that had nothing to do with exertion or arousal this time as he looked down at Jeff sprawled so trusting beneath him. A vulnerability shone through all the confidence and bravado, one Duane suspected not many got to see.
"Duane?" Jeff questioned softly reaching up to cup his jaw, questioningly sensing a shift in the mood between them.
Swallowing hard past a sudden tightness that had lodged itself there, Duane simply lowered down covering Jeff's mouth with his own in slow deep kiss. He tried to pour everything he couldn't quite articulate into it - gratitude for this chance, wonder at the connection blossoming between two lost souls reaching out to each other...
When they finally separated again both were left blinking back a sudden sheen of tears threatening to spill over onto flushed cheeks. No words passed between them but somehow Jeff seemed to understand all the same as he pulled Duane down into another embrace fitting their bodies together like puzzle pieces made for one another.
They lay tangled up in each other's arms then, basking in the afterglow, hands tracing idle patterns on sweat-slicked skin until breathing slowed and steadied. For a long moment there was only the sound of water dripping somewhere off in the distance of the bathroom they'd left behind mingling with their own steady heartbeats gradually slowing to match rhythm.
But even as drowsiness crept up threatening to pull him under into peaceful oblivion Duane knew he wouldn't sleep yet, not until Jeff did too. He had a feeling this was only the beginning of many more nights spent like this tangled in sheets together exploring boundaries and pushing limits.
And God help him but Duane couldn't wait to see where their newfound connection would lead them next on the journey towards something deeper than just fleeting physical release - though that certainly wasn't lacking between them either. No, there was an undeniable spark here promising so much more if they dared reach out and grasp it.
He smiled softly into damp curls resting atop Jeff's head as sleep finally claimed him too in a warm cocoon of safety and acceptance he'd never known before now with this man who challenged everything Duane thought he knew about himself. The future was uncertain but one thing remained crystal clear:
Whatever came next, they would face it together, hand-in-hand, hearts open to possibility no matter where the road might lead them winding through complexities love always promised in its wake...
