Cooper stopped him. “Give me the condom.”
    Nando let Cooper’s cock out of his mouth with a plop and then rolled the condom on, immediately returning to his ministrations. He didn’t wait long to rise again though. “You are more than ready for what I need.” He handed Cooper the packet of lube and leaned over the back of the couch, reaching out for Cooper to come closer.
    By that time, Cooper was so riled up he was ready to plunge right in. Although he usually took better care of his lovers, he knew all Nando wanted right now was a quick, Balance | Zahra Owens

    passionate fuck, so he banished all the complaining voices to the back of his head and resolved to give him just that. It took a lot of self-control, therefore, to push in slowly, knowing Nando had barely been prepped. He didn’t count on Nando urging him on, so after adding even more lube, he was soon in up to the hilt.
    “Fuck yeah,” Nando panted. “I knew that cock of yours would feel good.”
    Cooper pulled back and plunged in again a few times.
    Then he slowed down. “We’d probably be more comfortable on a bed.”
    Nando looked over his shoulder, eyes dark with lust.
    “Too far.”
    “Small apartment,” Cooper countered, pulling out all the way. He thought he heard Nando whimper but recover quickly.
    “Lead the way.”
    Cooper pointed at the door to the right, and Nando didn’t hesitate for a moment.
    They didn’t bother pushing the duvet off the neatly made bed; Nando just pushed Cooper down on it, straddling him in one fluent movement. Cooper tried to relax, resolved to being the passive one as Nando sank down over his erection with a deep sigh. Cooper’s fingers buried into the skin over Nando’s hips, and he didn’t care whether he left bruises. Nando was riding him; a mix of bliss and tension in his face, and his moans and groans reassured Cooper that this was just what Nando needed right now.

    Nando was touching his own chest, making his nipples peak before moving down to his cock. It was a lovely vision, seeing Nando fist himself with both hands. “So fucking close.
    Fuck me harder. Please. Harder!”
    Nando’s pleas became more and more desperate, and Cooper knew he was close to coming as well. He started meeting Nando halfway, and suddenly Nando convulsed, shooting his come all over Cooper’s chest. Cooper lost his rhythm, but the tightness of Nando’s pulsating channel pulled him over the edge, too, and he filled the condom with his release. He only just had enough sense left to hold onto it as Nando let himself fall to his side, panting hard, his face turned away and one arm covering his eyes. Cooper got up to get a cloth to clean them up.
    Nando allowed Cooper to wipe him and wrap the blankets around him. Nando’s eyes remained closed, and Cooper didn’t dare move closer to him. The feeling of insecurity was back. Nando had gotten off, and it was obviously something he’d needed, but Cooper had no idea if this had just been sex and nothing more. Even his own feelings on the matter where a bit muddled. Nando had closed himself off, so it wasn’t like Cooper could ask. With a sigh, he crawled into bed and soon felt himself drifting off to sleep when Nando snuggled up to him.
    “I’m sorry I used you.”
    Cooper opened his eyes. “I don’t mind, remember?”
    “This time it wasn’t something you wanted.” Cooper chuckled. “Says who? Maybe being ravaged is another one of my fantasies?”

    Nando turned to his back again and stared up at the ceiling. “You’re just saying that.” Cooper cocked his head. “Okay, it isn’t, but it doesn’t mean I minded. You made me come. Wasn’t the best orgasm I ever had, but then the one you gave me before this was a little hard to surpass. You set the bar very high for yourself last time.”
    “I still had no right to do it.”
    “Don’t beat yourself up about it. I’m a grown-up. I could have just said no.”
    “But you didn’t.” A hesitant smile appeared on Nando’s face.
    “I certainly didn’t.” Cooper chuckled.
    Nando’s face turned serious again. “Your first boyfriend killed himself?”
    “Mmmh.” Cooper nodded. “It’s almost twenty years ago now.” The memory didn’t sting quite as badly anymore, but it wasn’t something he would ever be able to be casual about.
    “What happened?”
    Cooper wasn’t entirely sure he wanted to spill everything about this painful period of
