Alex shifted uncomfortably but allowed the other man the brief kiss a shiver ran down his spine at the feeling of lips on his skin. He watched the other man leave with a frown on his lips wondering if he should follow or not, but he had the feeling the other man would want to be alone. He headed back towards the living room and sat down on the couch cursing himself for forgetting to close the door.
He hoped the other man wouldn't take too long... He would begin to worry and go looking for him if need be but he didn't want that to have to be the case. |
It was a while before he started to head back, and he only did because he was realizing that his paranoia was beginning to get the better of him the alter it got. He was relieved when he returned to the building, feeling a little better as he walked inside and started to make his way up the stairs, looking around curiously, maybe even cautiously, afraid Andrew could be lurking in wait for a chance to get to Jacob again.
He made his way up the stairs, a little winded from the excersize of his walk and now the stairs, but he didn't pause long to get to his companion's apartment door, giving a light knocking. "Alex..?" |
Alex shifted uncomfortably as it began to get later and then he really didn't want to out searching for the other man. He jumped as he heard the knock on the door fearing the worst but when he heard his name he relaxed and after peeking through the peep hole he opened the door glad the other man hadn't had troubles of being allowed to head up as the day turned evening and the bar below slowly opened to the public.
"I was beginning to wonder if you'd headed home instead.." Alex murmured to the man as he held the door open and closed it promptly behind him and locking the locks on the door once more. |
"Nah... I'm not going anywhere." Ashley chuckled, getting in as quickly as he could without feeling rushed, watching him close and lock the door with a slight nod to himself. He was planning on it, but his fear had gotten the best of him, he couldn't walk that far on his own and it had gotten too late to goto work to sleep.
"Are..you going to bed soon?" He asked after a pause, not pushy but he was curious. He wanted to lay with him again, it'd been so nice to hear Jacob's surprise last time when he woke up with him there, he wanted the terms to be better this time however, he didn't want to be crying. |
Alex lead the way slowly further into the apartment looking at the man at the question. He gave a slightly sad smile to the other man but he nodded slightly as he paused about heading to the couch. "I was getting tired... I just wasn't certain if you were returning or not so I'd stayed up..."
He looked down knowing the man was about ready to see his real lover now. He bit his lip then headed to the bedroom instead of the couch, he could never fall asleep on that thing.. |
He followed him into the bedroom, swallowing a bit, he wondered how Jacob would feel when he woke up? He was sure he didn't want to be back in that bed so soon but he wouldn't drag Alex off anywhere else if he dind't want to. "Can.. I lay with you? Kinda.. like before? It was.. nice to have him wake up with me there like that." He smiled meekly at him, pausing in the room to find something and cover the mirror up again. He hated that thing so much. He hated looking into any mirror and usually avoided it.
|
Alex shrugged a bit at Ashley's request, watching the man cover the mirror and giving him a strange look for it. "I guess.."
Alex lay down under the sheets clothes and all. He waited, shifting rather awkwardly for Ashley to join him. |
Silently, Ashley crawled into the bed after Alex, a little embarrassed because he'd seen the strange look he'd gotten from Alex for covering the mirror up, but he didn't admit anything about it, just settling in with him. Hesitantly, he drew Alex a little closer, wrapping an arm about his waist and giving his back the softest of rubs, resting his head against Alex's shoulder, closing his eyes for a moment. "Thanks.. Alex."
|
It took a few minutes for Ales to get comfortable enough to sleep. The only reason Alex hadn't freaked out about it was the fact that he'd gotten used to it a bit when he'd stayed lying down with Ashley for two hours that morning.
Slowly he fell asleep relaxing finally in Ashley's grasp and slid off into blistful sleep. A few moments passed, that body taking in the small amount of sleep before Jacob took over that tired and abused body. Jacob opened his eyes and shifted his body a bit to be more relaxed making a face as the bruises reminded him they were there. He smiled a bit when he felt and spotted Ashley next to him. His arms wrapped around the man and pulled him closer. "Hello again." |
"How're you feeling?" He said as he felt those arms wrap around him tighter and heard him speak up to him once more. He shifted to snuggle into Jacob a little more, hiding his face against his shoulder for a moment longer as he made himself smile for Jacob as helooked up at him, still distraught over what happened.
|
Jacob returned the smile to Ashley as he leaned down to claim those lips in a light kiss. Gently stroking the other's back he looked around the room briefly noticing the mirror covered once more.
"I'm fine," Jacob answered finally as concerned eyes returned to Ashley. "How are you?" |
"I... am okay." He replied slowly, fingers brushing around the marks on Jacob's face where he'd been struck. He's sure felt better before, but he was just glad to be there with Jacob again. He' have to leave for work after tonight though, something he wasn't looking forward to, but he was sure things had piled up on his desk by now, he'd be busy as ever when he got back, and it was probably for the best.
He dreaded going back, he didn't see Andrew often, but the man was a higher rank in the workforce than him, he'd been there longer... He shook his head to himself at the thoughts, trying to shut his mind up, he didn't like where they were going, those thoughts. |
Jacob leaned lightly into Ashley's touch turning his head to press his lips to Ashley's palm as he looked into those troubled eyes. Jacob pushed himself up so he was on an elbow and looking down at the other man, a pretty good idea of what was bothering him. Jacob himself found himself listening for a knock on the door that never camen thankfully.
"Please.. Don't worry too much.." Jacob asked wanting a nice night with his lover. "I'll make sure we'll both be okay." Jacob leaned down and pressed his lips to Ashley's again allowing them to linger and the kiss turn hungry. Not knowing Ashley had already seen his body he didn't plan to go too far until the bruises disapeared. |
Ashley blinked at the kiss to his hand, his cheeks colouring faintly and he did give a bit more of agentle, natural smile at the affection, though his eyes couldn't hide what he felt inside. "I... know.." His gaze followed Jacob as he leaned over him, biting his lower lip slightly.
"Just.. Don't.. ever do that again.. okay?" His words were whispered and he wrapped his arms around Jacob again as he pressed into that kiss, his fingers slowly and gently running along Jacob's sides. |
Jacob was thankful that his lips were too busy to reply. He didn't want to have to admit that if Andrew did return and threaten Ashley's safety again he would do whatever he had to do to keep the other man safe from Andrew's predatory ways.
Jacob's hands slid over Ashley's body his fingers slidng over buttons and slowly pulling them loose. His tongue darted out of his lips to lick across Ashley's wanting to taste the man's sweet mouth again. |
He let him part his lips for the kiss, his tongue pushing in against Jacob's somewhat needily. His back lifted ever so faintly from the bed as his shirt was undone, blushing and his fingers gently pushed up on Jacob's shirt now as well. He'd seen him before, he didn't even think about Jacob not wanting him to see his body right then. He just wanted to feel his skin again, gently of course.
|
Jacob's tongue pressed against Ashley's and slid past into that sweet tatsing mouth. His hand bugun to push Ashley's shirt away from the man's chest finger caressing th soft skin.
When he felt his shirt being pulled up a hand moved Ashley's hands away from it intertwining his fingers gently with one of Ashley's. He didn't want the man to see his body and he was trying to distract the man from it. |
"Mpn..nn.." He arched as his skin was exposed, frowning mentally as his touch was denied from pulllingthe shirt up, fingers clutching at Jacob's but he wanted to get at that shirt again. He kissed him for a few moments longer before trying to part from the kiss a bit, looking curiously at Jacob with a furrowed brow.
"Jacob... Please.. don't hide behind your shirt.. I.. I saw.. earlier.." He whispered against his lips, giving him little pecks on his lips. |
Jacob's eyes opened to look down at Ashley when the kiss broke. He shifted slightly uncomfortable with the fact Ashley had seen him, he hadn't wanted the other man to see what Andrew had done to him. He sighed slightly and nodded, sitting up and moving to straddle Ashley's hips, his bottom pressing down on the other man lightly. He pulled the sweater off though and tossed it to the side as he looked down at Ashley frowning slightly.
"I hate it when they leave marks on me..." Jacob confessed slowly gazing down at Ashley's chest instead of into those eyes. "Makes me so .. ugly." |
"I don't think.. anything could make you ugly, Jacob." He smiled gently, reaching out to touch his abdomen and then his sides and hips so tenderly. "Do ... you still hurt a lot?" he asked after a pause, studying those marks. His expression had only flickered once from his soft, loving expression. He was enjoying his time with Jacob but he was still so angry at what had happened, trying to keep it all contained not to ruin the moment.
|
Jacob shivered beneath Ashley's touch a small smile on his lips though when Ash didn't pull away from him or look revolted at the marks. He closed his eyes as those hands ghosted over his skin and hips realizing he wanted this night to be a bit different from the last couple of times. He licked his lips though and opened his eyes again this time meeting those eyes that intrigued him so.
"It's not that bad anymore..." Jacob replied slowly drawing Ashley's hand up to his lips and kissed it lightly, romantically. "Nothing I'm not able to ignore." |
His hand being taken caught him off guard, his eyes locking with Jacob's while the man on top of him gave his slender, slightly bony hand a kiss. "That... is good." His lips curved into a tender smile, his cheeks flushed with the change of mood. What he'd said to Jacob the night before wasn't in his memory, lost to the alcohol and the fuzzy state of sleep he'd been in while he said it, so any romance like this caught him slightly off guard after how they'd spent their previous nights together.
Not that he was complaining, the simple affection made his heart flutter with surprise. "Jacob.." He whispered gently. |
Jacob smiled down at the other man. He wanted to make up for his silence the other night, prove to the man he was loved in return even if Jacob yet hadn't found the guts to express his feelings to the man. Gently he lifted Ashley a bit to a seated position so he could remove his shirt and lay him back down kissing at his neck and shoulder giving small nips to increase the pleasure. His hands slid down the other man's body sliding to pinch and pull at each nipple wanting to hear the man make his wonderful sounds.
|
Ashley gasped as he was lifted to a sitting position and his shirt was taken from him, watching Jacob still with every move, letting him bring him back down to the bed, his head tipping hi head back with a low noise at a nip. When he felt fingers sliding over his chest and tugging at his sensitive nipples, he arched and gasped, another moan escaping, this time in the form of his lover's name.
He brought his arms gently around Jacob's shoulders, rubbing lovingly over his back and the rubbing a gentle massage into his shoulders and neck, being gentle, unsure of what hurt on Jacob and what didn't, caressing in slow circles. |
"Let me take care of you tonight," Jacob whispered nipping at Ashley's earlobe then allowed his lips to go lower finding a nipple to play with and torment. His fingers moved across Ashley's skin caressing it and gently running nails over it leaving nothing but red lines from irritated skin that disappear a moment later.
His fingers found the pant clasp and hurriedly unbutton and unzippered those pants wanting to be rid of the restraints of clothing. |
