Well, I was bored and lonely last night (New Year's Eve by yourself isn't fun, and I don't plan on repeating it again), so I decided I'd give y'all a bit of a gift. I've been working on it since before 22h00, and I got the next chapter done. As it's now mid-morning, and I haven't slept since last year, I'm going to try to head to bed now.
As always, thanks for reading, and tell me what you think! Your feedback (whether culpatory or laudatory) is always helpful!
Just a warning, this part is a long one, and I think you'll like it.
Chapter Seven: Part I
As the last notes of Niels' music ebbed away, I felt myself getting lost in his embrace. And before you ask, yes, he was naked, and yes, his dick was indeed pressing against me—needless to say, it was pretty awesome—but that wasn't what was important at that moment. Seeing his smiling face above my own smiling—albeit swollen—face in his mirror made the last 24 hours that bit more bearable. I let myself sink into his body, my head lolling back against his chest, my eyes closing.
As we stood, I let my mind touch the feelers of sensation springing from our contact: I could feel the short hair on my head against the coarser, sparser hair on his chest; I could feel his heart beating—tha-thump tha-thump tha-thump—deep behind the wall of muscle and bone that formed his chest; I could feel him press against me more firmly in a steady rhythm with each breath; I could feel the soft skin of his stomach pressing against the middle of my back—voids in the firm surface which could only have been the taut bands of sinew enshrining the most coveted of muscular forms chiselled into his stomach; I could feel his penis against the small of my back—a hot shape only touching lightly, but unmistakable in its form; I could feel the strength of his arms as they held me to him. I let my senses expand, one by one, to encompass the full sensation of him. I could smell him—a light, masculine sent; I could hear his breaths—in, out, in, out; I could taste the light tang of the steam with every inhalation.
Of a sudden mind, I pulled away from him—not far, just enough to turn around to face him. I faced the centre of his chest, close enough that my nose was tickled by the hairs there. His hand rose to my chin, lifting it softly. I stood up on my tiptoes, and we kissed again. Our lips met, our tongues darted, and our hands searched questioningly on each other's bodies to find an anchor. As we separated a fraction of an inch, a smile lifted his lips, 'Not so nervous now, are you?'
I kissed him again. We broke again. 'How could I be with you here?' I pressed closer to him to emphasise my reply. I pressed my face into his chest, sighing contently.
He chuckled, 'Now now. We have to get clean, otherwise we'll never get anything done.'
With a sigh, I pulled my arms back to my sides and took a step back—of course, I found the counter by accident and fell back onto a hand. Niels' chuckle smiled at me through the still thickening mist. 'If you're trying to be enticing, you don't have to try. But I've steeled myself against your wiles and am hardened against the idea of taking advantage while you're not yet washed.'
A blush spread across my face again as I quickly righted myself and cleared my throat. 'Well then...er....' I took a couple steps forward till I was standing next to the glass enclosure around the shower, 'Shall we...get to it?' I blushed further as I accidentally innuendoed back at him.
He laughed and headed into the steamy glassed-in room that was his shower. 'Slow down, tiger. We have all the time in the world to get all sudsy. No need to rush.'
I followed him—now, I'm not really a top (you try getting people at least a half-foot taller than you to agree to bottom, then ask me why), but I do like me a nice arse, and by George his fit the bill. As Anna might say of her girl-of-the-hour's breasts: Perky, with all kinds of attitude—under the spray, stepping carefully so as not to slip.
The water was hot—nearly too hot, but I've always liked my showers and baths either scalding or freezing; it's strange, but we all have our quirks, right?—and it made me groan as I got used to the steady raining heat. Niels waited on the outskirts of the spray, letting me take the vast majority of the water. Perhaps he saw how much I was enjoying it—or perhaps he was enjoying watching me—but I'm unsure either way. All I knew was that the heat of the water and the steady falling rhythm felt divine on my weary and aching body. First I let the water fall over my back, letting it simply drip over me, forming thin rivulets down my sides and legs. Once the ache had begun to leave my back, I lifted my head to let the water go down my front, forming the strange patterns that it always makes in chest hair as the chaos of water combs it every which direction. My god it was a wonderful feeling. I looked down for a moment and opened my eyes; the water flowing away into the drain was very lightly stained with red. The relics of the night before were washing away.
While I had been enjoying my soaking, a quiet orchestra had begun playing quiet, probing, questioning chords. Suddenly, with a bang, the orchestra took up a merry tune. Needless to say, this startled me, and it was only thanks to Niels—having stepped forward to get in somewhat under the shower—steadying me with a hand on my shoulder, that I didn't fall over. 'Sorry about that. I forgot that it was quite a sudden introduction. At least it gave me the chance to get closer to you, right?' As he spoke, Niels stepped closer, and I stepped back, giving him space under the stream of water. I finally looked him over from stem to stern, taking my time. After all, his eyes were closed, and he was stretching languidly under the water.
The water served only to highlight the definition of his body. His arms, which he rose from time to time while stretching, were thick with muscles, his forearms showing thick ropey veins in a number of places. Moving across and down, I looked over his shoulders, and on down to his fuzzy chest. Just as my hair had done, his began making intricate swirls in the water, which aided the contrast as I looked down over the tight stomach with its ridges and valleys. Down in the central valley of his abs I saw a trail of hair leading its way down away from his navel, until the peaks flattened into the expanse below his stomach, and the small trail broadened out into the neatly trimmed patch that was his groin. His waist cut in around his hips, pointing my gaze as the markings on a flower guide a bee, and between that trail of hair and the Apollo's belt, my eyes could not help but continue down.
And what a sight my eyes saw there. Now, I'm not good at guessing lengths, heights, or weights by sight alone—which explains why I first thought he was only six-foot-three—but I know what size the average guy's royal jewels are—after all, I've known my fair share of them—and these were.... Well, they'd make any man proud to have them. I swear I'm not a size-queen—my ex was significantly smaller than average, and we fucked like rabbits—but there's nothing wrong with enjoying a big one either. It hung pendulously, the tip extending a good distance past the equally proportioned sac behind it. It was long, it was thick, it still showed a foreskin, and it suited his otherwise extra-large frame very well.
I do well for myself in that department, being a touch above average myself—although, honestly, I'm fairly average apart from the thickness, which is somewhat above the norm. But what with most of my partners having been strict tops, it's never really come up—not that it has any trouble coming up, hell, it was coming up as I looked in on him—so I don't really bother trying to brag about being proportioned beyond my height.. Still, he made me look quite small. As I said, I'm fine with being smaller than someone else—you tend to build a pretty thick skin at my height—but the degree was still a bit startling.
Finally his eyes opened and he grinned at me—I blushed (would you expect anything less of me at this point?), which only broadened his smile. 'You must be getting cold out there. You should come close; you know, get cozy. After all, I don't bite.' he chuckled to himself, 'Well, not unless certain other things are happening too.'
With a red flush still staining my cheeks, I took a half-step closer to him. His only response to my hesitancy was to raise a single eyebrow and sigh. 'Don't make me carry you over here. Did the sight of me naked so horrify you that you're now scared to get close?' he smirked as he spoke, evidencing the good-natured teasing in his words. I closed the distance to stand before him lamely, blinking as the water flowed down over me.
