Aiden's breath hitched not just from the words, but from the way Hunter was touching him, so gentle but so possessive, like he was something precious.
Hunter leaned down and kissed him, soft and sweet at first, just pressing their lips together. But when Aiden whined softly in the back of his throat, needing more, his hands grabbing onto Hunter's shirt again. Hunter growled and tilted his head to deepen the kiss.
The blanket slipped off Aiden's shoulders, pooling in his lap, leaving him exposed to Hunter's hands warm and comforting and a little greedy.
Hunter's tongue flicked out, teasing Aiden's bottom lip, asking silently for entrance. Aiden opened for him quickly and their tongues brushed, sending electric shivers down both their spines.
Hunter kissed him deeper, tasting every soft sound Aiden made, holding his small body tightly against him while rocking them gently where they sat.
When they finally pulled apart, both were breathing hard with flushed faces.
Hunter rested his forhead against Aiden's shoulder, closing his eyes and just breathing him in.
"No more cooking for you, got it?" He muttered, a little playful growl hidden in his tone. Aiden gave a small giddy nod. "I'll just cook for you instead."
Hunter barked out a laugh and squeezed his sides, making Aiden squeal and wriggle in his lap.
After the cleaners left, Hunter took Aiden to get him clean in his room.
Aiden wandered back after dressing in a fresh oversized t-shirt and pajama bottoms.
Hunter was already there, setting down the takeout food he just ordered. The kitchen was a disaster zone tonight they couldn't even step near it without gagging from the smell of smoke so ordering food was the only option.
"How...how did you even find out?" Aiden mumbled, cheeks heating up with embarrassment. "I was too scared to call you..."
Hunter chuckled, shaking his head as he opened one of the containers. "Well, Mr. Troublemaker, it turns out you're a bit of a celebrity around here. The officers who responded? They recognized your last name immediately."
Aiden's mother was pretty big deal in the town since she's one of the top lawyers. So, the officers called her right away. After that she called Hunter since Aiden was too overwhelmed to pick the call.
Aiden's face went pale. "I'm so dead. She's gonna kill me. She specifically told me not to even look at her kitchen while she was gone."
Hunter snorted, trying and failing to hold back his laugh. "You looked at it alright. Then you made it explode."
"HUNTER!!" Aiden cried out throwing a pillow at him.
Hunter caught the pillow easily, grinning wide. "Don't worry, I'll protect you," he said with an exaggerated heroic pose. "Though I'm pretty sure even I can't fight your mom when she gets back."
Aiden, fueled by embarrassment and affection, tackled Hunter right onto the bed behind them with a squeal. They bounced once, Hunter's strong arms instinctively catching him.
They wrestled a little, laughing breathlessly until Aiden ended up straddling Hunter's waist, both of them panting lightly with their faces a few inches away. Hunter's hands were resting on Aiden's hips, thumbs rubbing slow, absentminded circles against the fabric of his pajamas.
Aiden gulped as he stared down at Hunter and the soft curve of his lips and the dark hungry way he was looking at him now.
Slowly, while trembling slightly, Aiden leaned in until their noses brushed.
"Kiss me..."
Hunter didn't need to be told twice. He surged up and captured Aiden's mouth in a kiss that was nothing like their playful ones before.
It was deep, intense, and full of everything he had been holding back.
Aiden moaned softly into the kiss, pressing closer, letting Hunter control the rhythm and the depth. Their lips moved together hungrily. Hunter tilted his head, deepening it further, his tongue sliding into Aiden's mouth, stroking against Aiden's shy one. Aiden melted completely against him.
Hunter's hands slid slowly under Aiden's t-shirt and traced the dip of his spine and the ridges of his ribs. He growled when he felt how soft and warm Aiden was underneath.
Unable to resist, his one hand slid even lower, past the waistband of Aiden's pajama pants.
His palm cupped the curve of Aiden's ass, squeezing gently, drawing a shaky gasp from Aiden's lips. Aiden whimpered into the kiss, his hips rolling unconsciously against Hunter's, creating a delicious friction that made them both shudder.
Hunter kissed him harder, breathing each other in like they were starving.
But Hunter finally pulled away just enough to look at him, though their lips were still brushing. Aiden gave him a confused look, silently asking Hunter why did they stopped. Hunter just smiled and sit straight.
"You should eat something," Hunter leaned against the headboard, trying his best to act composed as he watched Aiden sit cross-legged in front of him, pouting. He looked away, avoiding Aiden's betrayed gaze. "Then…sleep."
But Aiden didn't move. Instead, he blushed faintly and tilted his head.
"Why do you always pull away so fast?" he asked softly but firm enough to make Hunter's heart skip violently in his chest.
Hunter was left frozen for a good while, he was stunned by boldness dripping from Aiden's words. The words Hunter would never muster up himself. God, this kid was going to kill him.
But Aiden didn't stop there, oh no, not Aiden. He threw his arms around Hunter's neck, his sweet breath thingled against Hunter's swollen lips, and gave Hunter a mischievous and hungry gaze that has Hunter pinned on the spot.
Hunter's cheeks burned scarlet. He was twice Aiden's size, broader, rougher, older but right now he felt like the one being cornered.
And as Aiden climbed onto his lap without a second thought, Hunter felt his body betray him. His cock stirred up at the closeness, hardening painfully against the waistband of his sweats, trapped underneath Aiden's squirming weight.
Aiden's eyes widened when he felt it thick and heavy under him and his cheeks flamed in a deep gorgeous red. Embarrassed, he quickly hid his face against Hunter's neck, but the warmth of his breath fanned out against Hunter's skin made it so much worse.
Hunter squeezed his eyes shut, clenching his fists in the sheets. God, please, let me have some self-control.
But it was so damn hard when Aiden was practically grinding down on him without even realizing it. His body was so warm, so small, and so perfect. Hunter's mind began to spin with images he shouldn't have: Aiden spread out beneath him, squirming and whimpering; Aiden crying his name in a broken desperate voice as he thrust him again and again, making a mess of him, and making him his.
He wanted to bite Aiden's soft inner thighs, mark up his hips with bruises, hear the hitch in Aiden's breath when he sank deep inside him, making him feel every goddamn inch. He wanted Aiden to be wrecked, flushed, sweaty, clinging to him, and begging for more with tears in those pretty eyes.
Fuck, Hunter groaned silently, his cock twitching painfully. He could feel it, how hot and needy he was, how easy it would be to just flip Aiden under him and lose himself completely.
But he won't do that. Because even though, Aiden was acting all horny and mighty, Hunter knows the dumbhead is not ready yet. And the moment Hunter takes control, he would cry and throw tantrum.
"Aren't we...boyfriends now? Why does it feel like you're still keeping your distance? Don't you...love me?" Aiden whispered teasingly.
Hunter wrapped his arms tightly around Aiden, pressing the boy against his thudding heart. "It's not that. You have no idea how much I want you."
Aiden shivered against him, but didn't pull away. Instead, he nuzzled closer, pressing even harder into Hunter's aching hardness, as if he wanted to be swallowed up whole.
Hunter clenched his jaw so tight it hurt.
He wanted to be good for Aiden. But goddamn it, if Aiden kept grinding his sweet little ass against his hard on, he don't know long he could keep his control.
There would come a night when Hunter wouldn't be able to hold back anymore. And when that night came, he'd make sure Aiden understood exactly how deeply and how desperately, he was loved.
And it would be anything but gentle.
◾◾◾
The next day, Hunter was a mess of nerves. He clung to Aiden like he was about to be sent off to war, burying his face into the crook of Aiden's neck.
"Please," Hunter murmured pathetically. "Just don't do anything stupid while I'm gone, okay?"
Aiden chuckled softly and pecked Hunter's lips. "Alright, alright, I won't do anything," he promised with a mischievous smile.
Hunter lingered like he didn't trust himself to leave, but eventually, after one last longing look, he stumbled out the door.
As soon as he was gone, Aiden sprawled onto the couch, a wicked grin tugging at his lips. Time to think how to seduce Hunter properly.
He pouted up at the ceiling, cheeks warming as he remembered the thick hardness he'd felt pressing against him last night.
It felt...huge.
Aiden squeezed his thighs together at the memory. He wanted Hunter so badly it made his chest hurt.
But every time they got close, Hunter would pull away like he was terrified of breaking him. Aiden huffed. I'm not made of glass!
He grabbed his phone, determined to do some research. First, he googled: "How to seduce your boyfriend" but all the articles talked about romantic dinners, massages, and kisses. Boring.
Annoyed, he scrolled further until he stumbled upon some...videos. At first, he hesitated, glancing around the empty room like he was about to commit a crime. Then, biting his lip, he tapped play on one.
The screen filled instantly with two men kissing, touching, moaning and Aiden's eyes exploded wide.
He sat bolt upright. "Wha—?!" he gasped out loud.
One guy was pounding into the other like a madman, and the sounds—Aiden dropped the phone onto the bed. He scrambled to mute it but his heart racing out of control. When he dared to peek again, the scene had gotten even wilder.
They're going to die! he thought, horrified. He's gonna break his spine like that!
He stared between terror and fascination as one of the guys threw his head back, mouth open in a long broken moan.
Aiden covered his mouth in shock. How is that guy still alive?! And wait...if Hunter...if Hunter does that to me...
Aiden's face turned a deeper shade of crimson.
He bit down on his fist, nearly whimpering as his imagination betrayed him— flashing images of Hunter's big hands pinning him down, that thick length slamming into him the way it happened in the video.
He immediately shook his head furiously. No, no, no, that would kill me!
He blinked at the screen again, and a terrifying new thought struck him. Wait...what if I have to be the one to...do that to Hunter?!
His jaw dropped in horror.
"But...wouldn't it hurt Hunter too?!" he whispered to himself, clutching the phone like it was some cursed object.
The idea of him shoving into Hunter's strong, broad body made Aiden's brain short-circuit. He buried his face in a pillow, kicking his legs frantically.
"I can't do that I'll break him!"
He peeked back at the phone one last time, seeing the two men sloppily kissing, their bodies slick and tangled, moaning shamelessly.
Aiden's body felt hot all over. He slammed the phone down onto the bed again.
Hunter was so big. If sex was that rough…Aiden gulped. How was he supposed to survive it?! He covered his burning face with both hands, groaning in humiliation. I'm doomed.
Though curiosity, as always, won.
By the time Aiden realized it, he'd fallen into a black hole of videos countless different scenes, different ways men touched and kissed and did things that made his whole body heat up with secondhand embarrassment and excitement. His cheeks stayed permanently red as he watched, legs curling and uncurling restlessly as he thinks about Hunter.
When he finally blinked at the clock, it was already evening. Shit!
Panicking slightly, Aiden jumped up, took a quick cold shower and threw on some decent clothes. He decided, without a second thought, to go pick Hunter up from work.
Perfect boyfriend points, he thought proudly, ignoring how his brain was still somewhat fried from everything he'd "researched."
◾◾◾
The sun was just dipping low when Hunter stepped out and the sight that greeted him made his heart flip over. Aiden was sitting on the curb and played with a stray cat in his lap.
Hunter's chest ached from how cute it was.
He wanted to scoop both of them up and never let go.
Aiden's head snapped up when he heard Hunter's familiar steps and whole face lit up.
"Hunter!" he cried and sat the cat down. He jumped to his feet and threw his arms around Hunter's waist in a tight hug.
Hunter stumbled slightly, laughing, arms wrapping around the boy instinctively. "You came to pick me up?"
Aiden nodded eagerly, face pressed against Hunter's chest. "Yeah."
So caught up in clinging to Hunter, Aiden didn't even notice someone standing next to Hunter until a voice broke through.
"Who's this Hunter?"
Aiden's eyes snapped open and turned sharply toward the speaker who was a lean guy with messy brown hair and a lazy grin, standing just a little too close to Hunter for Aiden's liking.
Instantly, Aiden slid his hand down and clutched Hunter's hand tightly. His wide eyes blinked up at Hunter.
"Who?"
Hunter, oblivious to Aiden's unease, chuckled under his breath and gently squeezed Aiden's hand back and introduced the guy politely.
"This is Liam. The new waiter. My Manager asked me to train him."
Liam smiled at Hunter and gave Aiden a friendly wave. "Hello."
Aiden stared at him suspiciously, still clinging to Hunter's side like a possessive little kitten. His heart thumped hard in his chest, a strange jealousy bubbling up inside him.
He didn't like Liam smiling at Hunter. When Aiden didn't greeted back, Liam awkwardly look up at Hunter.
Aiden squeezed Hunter's hand tighter. "I want to go home."
Hunter smiled and ruffled his hair. "Sure."
But before they could leave Liam called out. "Hunter, sorry to interrupt. But I thought you promised me to let me treat to coffee as a thank you for helping me today."
Hunter was caught off guard. He did promised Liam out of politeness since Liam kept being stubborn. So, he was forced to say yes.
He looked between Aiden and Liam and said in guilt. "Um…how about some other time. You see I need to leave with my boy–"
"Come on, it won't take much time," Liam said with hopeful eyes.
Nope! Aiden definitely didn't like this guy.
