Chapter 5: Held

Nico kissed him first, with his weight settled on Ray's thighs and the key swinging on its lace between them.

Ray kissed back as far as the cuffs let him.

His arms were stretched over his head, the steel cold on his wrists, and he could not reach.

He could only lift his chin and take what Nico gave.

Nico gave a lot.

He kissed Ray's mouth, then his jaw, then the soft place under his ear where the beard ended.

Ray's whole body jerked against the bed.

"There," Nico said, delighted. "You like that."

"Nico."

"Say it again."

"Nico." It came out as a growl. "Take your shirt off."

Nico grinned and obeyed.

He pulled the gray T-shirt over his head and tossed it behind him.

His chest was smooth and olive and narrow, with a dark line of hair running down his stomach.

Ray stared at him.

He pulled at the cuffs without meaning to, and the chain rang on the iron.

"Oh," Nico breathed. "That's good."

He leaned down and opened Ray's shirt one button at a time.

He took his time.

Each button was a small kiss, a flick of his tongue across the pale skin of Ray's chest.

When the shirt finally fell open, he sat back to look.

Ray was huge.

Thick through the chest and shoulders, with a soft ridge of muscle over his stomach and an old scar across his ribs.

"God," Nico said quietly. "I'm never going to be done looking at you."

He put his mouth on Ray's nipple and sucked.

Ray arched.

A rough noise broke out of him, and he yanked at the steel, and Nico hummed against his skin and slid lower.

He opened Ray's belt.

He got the zipper down, and his hand slid inside and found him, thick and heavy and hard against the cotton of his briefs.

"You've been like this since last night," Nico said.

"Since the hotel."

"Since the hotel." Nico pulled him out. "Oh, look at you."

Ray's cock was big and dark, flushed at the head, and a clear bead had already gathered at the slit.
