"O-okay." That was hard for him to do, he wasn't used to just laying back and taking what his c ompanion wanted to give him. It felt nice though, arching as he felt nails against his skin, breathing out shakily with a moan. "O-oh.." The touches earned more and more little moans from Ash, the new sensuality about Jacob's touches made his body tingle more than before.

When fingers worked his pants off, he lifted his hips as best as he could to help, his cheeks warming further, swallowing thickly.

Jacob smiled down at his lover's body, nothing stood up against that beautiful sight. His smile turned into a grin as he leaned down and kissed those lips possessively for a moment but he pulled away and grabbed a jar from his bed stand that would prove to be filled with massage oil. He licked his lips wanting to take his time with the other man once more.

"Roll onto your stomach for me," Jacob told Ashley wondering if the man would do so or not.

Ashley pushed into the kiss a bit, biting his lower lip as Jacob pulled away again and he watched what he was doing, eyeing that jar curiously. "Mm? ...okay." He breathed, though being on his stomach always made him nervous, he trusted Jacob. He knew he wouldn't do anything bad to him now, rolling carefully onto his stomach and getting comfortable, his gaze flickering to his companion once more.

"Is.. this okay?" He asked, fingers toying with the fabric of the bedding, and he was a little tense.

Jacob opened the jar and poured a general amount of the oil into the palm of his hand and set the jar back down out of the way so it would not be spilt; the oil he used was rather expensive. He moved over Ashley again straddling his thighs now as he looked down at his tense body realizing the man wasn't relaxed. Rubbing the oil onto both hands he leaned forward gently massaging Ashley's shoulders and whispered within his ear. "Relax baby.. I won't do anything without your consent."

He pressed his lips to Ashley's neck as he began to work on those muscles beginning the slow process at Ashley's neck and shoulders then began to work lower his hands moving expertly pressing away knots and easing away tense muscles. "Tell me if anything hurts and I'll stop.. okay?"

Ashley let out a slow breath as he felt Jacob settle on him again, somewhat embarrassed but he was starting to enjoy where this was going. The whisper against his ear made him jump slightly, but he did begin to relax slowly at the gentle rubbing, his breathing calming down again. "I-I know." He whispered in reply, he trusted Jacob more than anyone in the world now.

Those kisses made him quiver and smile, relaxing further under Jacob's rubbing, working hands as he relaxed even further, the touches starting to slowly earn little pleased noises from him as he was pressed lower down his back, cheeks flushed. "Mm. I... I don't think you could hurt me if you tried." He teased him, but nodded in understanding.

Jacob's hands made their way down to Ash's lower back spending extra time there to unknot the muscles beneath his hands. He'd begun to smile as he heard the small noises from the other man and he was working those muscles like an expert working to get to the deeper muscles. If he pressed too deep to hard it could give a mixed indication of pain or further relaxation depending on the person's limits, not knowing Ashley's Jacob was being careful not to put too much pressure to get to the muscles beneath muscle.

His hands moved lower again, each grabbing a but cheek possessively a chuckle was ready to escape his throat at whatever reaction he'd receive from the other man. A finger teasingly dipped into the cleft sliding down brushing that pink rosette he knew so well and traced back up needing the large muscles with both hands. Jacob licked his lips, knowing by now Ashley must be very aroused if not fallen asleep with the amount he relaxed. Jacob wondered which.

Ashley made little noises now and then with those thorough rubs, thye felt so nice. IT'd be a long time since he'd become so relaxed due to anything, and just the fact that it was Jacob's hands doing this made it all even better. His fingers had been kneading the bed at first, but now they rested against it limp, and it was hard to say if he was falling asleep or not.

If he had been, he sure wasn't any longer as he felt those hands make a teasing move to his butt, forcing a gasped noise from him and his cheeks flushed. Jacob's hands earned another noise from him, deeper, a low moan as he was rubbed at again, shfiting his body due to... a growing discomfort under his hips against the bed.

"Hahn.. J.. Jacob.. " He was definitely quite aroused, biting his lower lip as he tried to contain himself, a shiver running up his back as he shifted and accidentally rubbed himself into the bed. "Nkh..Jacob..."

Jacob leaned low over Ashley pressing his lips against the other man's back lovingly sliding those lips down a little lower. He closed his eyes enjoying Ashley's scent mixed in with the scent of the oil that smelt a lot of apple. His hands gently coaxed Ashley's legs to spread a little, his hands rubbed over those thigh muscles. He was enjoying the other man's reaction and was pleased when he found out which it was Ashley was once he'd finished that part of their night, he wouldn't have woken Ashley otherwise.

"Enjoying yourself?" Jacob asked huskily his breath spreading across Ashley's glistening skin. He licked his lips again his tongue brushing across Ashley's skin gently and moaned a little with a smirk.

Ashley was enjoying that scent, the smell of the oil, though the feel was strange, yet soothing. He allowed those legs to be parted, giving a shaky breath as he was touched at his thighs, the rubbing earning another pleased noise much like the last, his gaze flickering to glance back at Jacob curiously.

That tongue made him arch some and give a gasped moan, fingers grasping at the sheet beneath his oiled body, trembling briefly. "O-oh.. yes." He groaned, blushing a deep, warmed red. There was no way to hide how much he was enjoying this anymore.

Jacob looked down at his sleeping lover cradled in his body and smiled. He was far from tired himself, if not rather lazy however. Between Alex being up in the day and Jacob at night it was rather surprising Ashley managed to stay awake for either one of them not to mention the job he'd missed the last couple days. Jacob smiled sadly wishing that it could be easier on Ashley somehow, but didn't know how it would be possible.

He stayed lying there with Ashley for a while before his stomach told him he was hungry. With a small groan of complain Jacob gently lifted Ashley from his lap and lay him down on the bed careful not to wake him. He got up and headed to the bathroom to wash himself off and returned with a damp cloth to do the same for Ashley before he got himself anything to eat. He ran the damp cloth over that pale skin removing every trace of seminal fluid gently, hoping he wouldn't wake Ashley in the process.

Ashley was pretty well gone in his slumber, hardly stirring even as Jacob decidedto move him down onto the bed completely so he could get up. When the man came back to him with a wet cloth and began to clean him, it did get something from the smaller man, a smile crossing his lips and he seemed to stir into some sort of consciousness, but it wasn't enough to really wake him up, merely getting a giggle from him and mumbled words, "That tickles" before he'd fallen right back into his deep sleep.

He wasn't looking forward to waking up and having to return to work, he was sure everyone would be panicked, maybe it'd be better if he got there early? He couldn't be sure, all he cared was that he was finally resting peacefully.

Jacob chuckled a bit at the other man's giggle and sleepy words and pulled away gently to go get something to fill his rumbling stomach. Looking at the time briefly he shook his head able to hear the bar downstairs quite easily. How his life was about to be turned around with this predicament... Whores don't normally have boyfriends, not with the job as well.. Jacob wondered just what was going to happen. He couldn't miss his own job every night and by the sounds of it Alex didn't have a job..

Jacob sighed as he flipped through the channels on the television. Jacob wasn't good at anything else and he would sooner or later run out of his saved funds.

Ashley slept for a few good hours, nearly five until the alarm in his head told him it was time to get up if he wanted to get to work at all. He stirred, rubbing at his face and groaned a little, stretching carefully before starting to get up. He wondered if he'd slept through Jacob being awake the rest of the time, curious if he'd be seeing Alex when he left that room, dressing slowly, searching for his phone so he could begin to call a cab as he walked out of the bedroom with yawn, wobbling sleepily with the crutches until his body coordinated itself enough to really get him anywhere.

"Jacob?" He called after he had a cab on the way to pick him up, looking around hte apartment curiously.

In the time it took Ashley to sleep before he'd even awoke Jacob had bored. He wasn't used to sitting around for long spurts and his body was anxious to do something rather than watching Tele for hours on end. By the time Ashley awoke he was tiring himself out by doing push ups and by the time Ashley came into the room he graduated to sit ups. He gave a smile up at the other man as he spotted him and with a last sit up he stayed in the upright positions looking up at Ashley.

"Hey sleepy head," Jacob teased with a side grin. He pushed himself to his feet finally and leaned in to brush his lips against Ashley's. "Good Morning."

Ashley blushed as he came upon Jacob exercising, his two toned eyes curiously looking over his companion as Jacob stopped and got up. His head tilted into a kiss as he felt lips brush against his own, smiling against them.

"Good morning... I.. have to run though. I have a cab.. on the way." He whispered, giving him another sweet kiss. "I might be really busy for a while, I don't know... if I'll have much free time to come visit." He looked sad, but he knew that both of them had to work, and he knew that him being there had kept Jacob from his own job.

Jacob's hands stroked Ashley's arms and shoulders a little as he listened to Ashley. His own expression saddened a bit but he understood completely. Neither of them could avoid work for too long.. Ashley more than him since he had to report to a boss, Jacob reported to himself whether he wanted to work or not.

"Would you like a lift down the stairs?" Jacob teased a bit, he wanted to see Ashley off safely still a bit worried about anyone that would still be downstairs. Officially the bar was closed to alcohol drinks, it didn't stop the drunkards from leaving right away and looking for a lay. Jacob worried they might see Ashley as a worker seeing as he'd come from the apartments.

"I think I can make it myself, unless you really want to take me down there." Ash chuckled a bit, he was used to leaving more or less on his own already, or at least without being carried down by Jacob since he had a habit of leaving only when Alex woke.

He felt his phone vibrate and answeredit, telling the driver he'd be down in a few minutes. "I think that's my cue to go." He smiled gently at Jacob, leaning in for another kiss.

"I think I shall carry you down," Jacob replied with a smile and lead him to the door a sweet smile on his lips. "Gotta get as much time with you as possible before you disappear."

Jacob lifted him carefully, he felt the wear on his muscles however it wasn't enough to make him worry about dropping Ashley's light body. He carefully carried him down the stairs and set him back safely on the floor afterward pressing a light kiss to Ashley's lips once more before the man had to leave to catch that cab waiting in front of the doors. Jacob himself was now ready for bed, but he was pleased he could see Ashley off.

"Alright." He giggled as he was lifted, smiling and wrapping an arm gently around Jacob, the other holding his crutches on top of him. He was sad when they'd reached the bottom, he really didn't want to go but he couldn't stay either. He dreaded work, all the papers and projects, angry people... Andrew.

"I'll see you soon... If you have some free time, I'll probably be at the office most nights, I don't.. really stay anywhere else now unless I'm with you." He smiled at him and gave him one more kiss before heading out to the cab and getting in so they could head out.

When he got to work, it was still pretty quiet, a lot of the people hadn't even arrived yet so he felt a little more relaxed, it would give him some time to get caught up with things he'd been missing for and sort out his desk, as he was sure it was a mess by now.

Walking into his office, Ashley didn't get far before he'd noticed things different--his desk was a mess, as expected... but something was moved, and something else was cleared up, and it made him pale like he'd just seen a ghost. His two toned gaze turned to the large, mural-sized mirror that covered his entire right hand wall, something that had been invisible since the day he'd been raped when he'd earned a shared office space back then. Now it was his own and last time he'd been there, that mirror had been hidden by so many images, photos, ads, memos, phone numbers, posters. Anything he could find, and now they were gone.

He knew only one person who would have done that, and because he was too afraid to even turn around and look around the room, he took the moment to stare into the mirror, scanning the room that way. He didn't see anyone but himself, it made him sigh in relief, finally snapping out of it. His couch, which had previously been covered in books, now sat back where it used to across from the mirror and his cabinets had been moved to where it used to be, all the books on top of it. Had he been in better shape, he'd have moved things around once more, but he wasn't and he didn't have time for it all either.

Forcing himself to ignore it all, he sat down at his desk and started sorting, nervous but work distracted him, and slowly he could hear more people arriving in the main areas, settling in at their own work stations. He hoped that Andrew wouldn't be out there--but at the same time, he knew that if the man was out there, then Alex would be fine at home.

When the cab pulled away with Ashley safe inside Jacob looked around the small bar seeing no faces he recognized. Some were eying him yet, staring at the fact he still had no shirt on and his body was glistening with sweat from his previous work out. He ignored them though, he wasn't up to start working with those that are obviously only there because they had no where else to go. He headed back upstairs and straight to bed falling asleep almost instantly.

Alex woke slowly to strained muscles and made a face, his eyes opened to find himself alone in the bed with a small sigh of relief. He made his way around his small apartment showering, and making breakfast. It was another day alone in this apartment and now he didn't mind the alone time. Part of him though had begun to realize he was feeling lonely now, he'd grown used to having Ashley around even if he could act rather uncomfortable with him. It was merely just nice to have someone around.

He chewed his lip slightly as he looked out his window to the outside world. His eyes widened as he recognized someone across the street... but that face was gone almost instantly and Alex began to wonder if he'd actually seen the man. Chewing his lip he made certain all the locks on his door were locked and he sat down to eat his meal.

As the morning wore on, Ashley didn't see Andrew and he was geting a little worried, though he was too busy to go out of his office much and look for him. He finished a few calls before picking up the phone one more time and giving Jacob's phone a call, he wondered if it was the same for getting ahold of Alex? He hoped so, he just wanted to make sure he was okay.

He kept working in case someone got after him for slacking off after being gone for so many days, though Ash was really quite an efficient worker, gettig quite a bit done rather quickly, setting anything aside that he needed to work on that evening into one pile near the fridge.

Alex was watching television when the cell rang scaring him silly, he'd been nervous all day since he thought he'd seen that face. Yet no one had come to his door demanding for him to open up and he wasn't about to go outside to allow himself to fall prey to whoever was waiting to grab him. He eyed the cell phone wearily but picked it up looking at the call display before answering.

"Hello?" Alex said when he'd answered somewhat relieved to have read Ashley's name on the display.

"Alex?" Ashley sounded relieved to hear him answer the phone, smiling a bit as he filled out some paperwork. "I just wanted to check on you, make sure every thing's okay, after the other day, you know?" He said gently, his gaze looking out past his windows curiously and he wondered if he'd seen Andrew--he had to come in eventually, right? By all the projects he had on his desk, he assumed it must have been a busy week, it was amazing they hadn't had anyone come find him and drag him back to work after all the days he'd missed!

"Ah.. I'm .. fine," Alex replied slowly glancing up at the window he'd been looking out earlier. His knees pulled tighter to his chest but he was glad to hear someone's voice. It seemed a little odd to be here alone now. He chewed his lip and shifted on the couch, until he finally stated that he'd seen him. "I think I might have seen him.. earlier across the street.. but it might have just been my imagination.."

Alex closed his eyes. He'd never felt so nervous to be alone in his apartment, it was as if he was merely waiting for the man he'd seen to come up and invite himself in. He didn't much like the feeling at all.

"Good.. " He smiled still as he listened to Alex, even when he was quiet, it was nice to know he was okay. He shuffled a couple more papers and looked around outside of his office through the windows, observing what others were doing, looking for Andrew again as Alex told him he thought he might have seen him across the street.

"Well, just ignore him if he really is there and tries to get in. If he comes, call me alright? I'll do whatever I can to help you..." He'd even go back there to stop him, he didnt' want Alex to get hurt again.
