A few days had gone by, and it was once again time to go to that place. The sun went down a long time ago. But that didn’t stop the inner city from lighting up so much, it could be mistaken for daylight. Venues of all kinds had their shiny signs outside and some windows were almost blinding to look through.

Aidan noticed a familiar person who was walking in his direction.

“Look at you. Out again so soon?”

“I should be asking you the same, Leo. Also… how did you even learn about such a place? Something I should know?”

Leo chuckled, giving him a dismissive pat on the shoulder.

“Obviously, I’m never telling you that. Let me have my secrets. …So, is that why you’re out?”

“Wouldn’t you like to know?”

“… Thought so.”

Aidan bumped his shoulder against Leo’s.

“Hey, now. I have a good reason. If you saw him, you’d understand.”

“Him, huh?”

Aidan sped up his pace.

“Uh, anyway, see you some other time.”

Leo tried suppressing his laugh but was unsuccessful.

“I don’t get to see you like this very often. At least let me tease you a little bit.”

“Yeah, haha, that’s great. Bye for now-!” Aidan hurried to get ahead of him.

“Have fun.”

They shared a quick glance, but that was the last they saw of each other.

Aidan knew exactly where to go this time. He did consider whether to search for the same room or not since there was no guarantee he would be there.

He walked through those same dark hallways. As he did, he bumped his shoulder into someone else, who was walking in the opposite direction.

“Ah, sorry.”

The man’s voice made him look up. It had to be…

“Wait, is that… you?” The tension in his body was immediate. They were standing next to a somewhat open door that only vaguely outlined them. Aidan pushed it open, and yes—with more light on him—he could confirm it was the same man.

“Oh? Inviting me in?” He teased, knowing full well why Aidan did it.

“Uhm… hold on. Wait, no.” 

Getting a laugh in response, Aidan realized that that might have been a joke. But… it had to be all deep and smooth too. This man seemed to know himself and his effect on others well, his smug smile all too present.

“Getting my hopes up like that… how could you.”

After the other time they met, Aidan could more quickly pick up on what he was alluding to.

“I wouldn’t be against that though. …Going inside with you, I mean.”

The man walked into the enticing red room, its glow lighting up his broad frame.

“Are you sure you know exactly what that entails?”

Aidan looked inside, seeing a myriad of things he had never even considered in a sexual context.

“No, not at all. But I want to find out.”

“My, how adventurous you are. I like it.” He slammed the door shut.

“Cedric, by the way. You?”

A red tint spread across Aidan’s face.

“Oh! Right. I’m Aidan.”

“Well… Aidan. See anything that interests you?” Cedric gestured toward both a wardrobe and multiple shelves that hung on the wall next to the bed. He was curious about his first impression. Aidan gave the place a once-over, his eyes landing on a particularly large phallic object.

“More like what scares me. How would that even fit?”

Cedric chuckled, following Aidan’s gaze.

“I mean, unless you really want to try, I’d suggest avoiding that one.” Cedric reached his arm up to one of the shelves, taking down what looked like a ring.

“No need to tell me twice.” Noticing what Cedric was holding, Aidan gave it a curious glance.

“Moving fast, huh? Marriage was never something I considered. But… if you want to…”

Cedric held the ring up to show its diameter. That wasn’t going on anyone’s finger.

“Haha, I’m sure we’re both aware that this isn’t a wedding ring.”

“Aww… now you’re the one getting my hopes up.”

“Great, we’re even then.”

With a smile, Aidan took the black silicone from him.

“So, how do you plan on using this thing?”

“Since you’re new, I thought it might be a good one to start with. It’s pretty vanilla. Also …”

A hand landed on Aidan’s shoulder, making him freeze up. His eyes locked on Cedric’s.

“…The way ‘this thing’ makes men so desperate for me.”

Aidan nearly melted under his gaze. And how he spoke. And, well, everything.

“D- Desperate…?”

“You’ll see.” Cedric trailed his hand over Aidan’s shoulder, fingers playing along his collarbone and the collar of his shirt. Aidan shivered, as he held the ring tighter to not drop it. When Cedric moved forward, he, in turn, stepped back. Both of them slowly made it to the large bed in the middle of the room.

As they got onto the edge of the bed, Cedric ran his hands down the other man’s body. Aidan leaned into the touch. Just a single glance at Cedric’s captivating smile, and Aidan was already willingly falling under his control.

Once Cedric made it to the rim of his shirt, he pulled it up, helping him out of it. Aidan didn’t usually feel that exposed, but there was just something about being watched by that man.

“I expect you to take it off too…”

All he got in response was a chuckle, as Cedric shoved him down into the bed.

“Are you usually this flustered?”

Moving further back on the mattress, Aidan looked up at him.

“Not even a little bit. It’s all your fault…”

“I would love to take credit for that, but I don’t think that’s all there is to it.” Cedric grabbed the bottom of his own shirt—abiding by Aidan’s request—he pulled it off and threw it on the floor.

“Maybe…” Aidan wanted to elaborate but trailed off when he saw Cedric both half-naked and on top of him. He did get a glimpse of it the first time they met, but this time it was entirely different. He did it for him. And he was… so close.

Cedric reached for one of the lower shelves, lined with only the most essential things. For example, the condom and bottle of lube that he picked up. Aidan quietly watched the other man, as said items were placed on the mattress next to him.

“Cedric.”

“Hm?” Cedric's hands were already on Aidan’s pants, lightly tugging at them.

“Who let you look that good?”

Cedric gave him an amused smile. He hooked Aidan’s boxers under his fingers as well, before pulling both all the way off.

“Careful. Too many compliments and I may suddenly forget that you’re a beginner.”

In a twisted way, Aidan kind of wanted to be treated like the men he had been with before. The ones that knew how hard they wanted it.

“…And those beautiful dark brown eyes.”

“Thin ice, Aidan. Thin ice.” As he spoke, Cedric got the last of his own clothes off, only making his words seem even more sincere. He poured some of the lube onto his hand, but instead of slathering himself in it—he grasped Aidan’s cock.

Aidan inhaled sharply.

“W- Wait, why on me-?”

“Just a little bit. It lets the ring more easily slide down.”

Aidan glanced at the thing still in his hand, finally understanding what it might be used for. He held it over the head of his cock, seeing how well the size matched.

With a sly look, Cedric pressed down on Aidan’s hand, pushing the ring down his cock. Managing to close his mouth in time, Aidan avoided making any noticeable sounds. It was close though.

“…I still don’t know exactly what it does. But I’m guessing ‘I’ll see’.”

“Clever boy.”

Aidan couldn’t explain why that did something for him. Though, at that point, he was surprised by too many new things to worry about that particular one.

Getting more lube on his hand, Cedric coated himself in it this time. The condom followed soon after. There was still some liquid left on his hand, which he hovered between Aidan’s thighs.

“Want me to go slow?” Cedric didn’t move when he spoke, an action that was making Aidan more and more impatient.

“No… just… fuck me already.”

The man’s face and the way he said those words… it was impossible to deny what all that ignited in Cedric. When he finally pressed his fingers against Aidan's sensitive skin, it was with two, not one. Aidan took in a sharp breath—gasped—as Cedric made quick work of invading his body.

He pulled back out a little to let Aidan get used to the intrusion, before shoving them even further inside. Aidan held tightly onto the sheets, not expecting the aggression. It felt just as good as that other time. If not better. 

…Okay, definitely better. And with much more technique. Especially when Cedric’s index finger slid far enough in to scrape against the sensitive area that so easily made his whole body quiver.

He really did like this feeling; that much was becoming clear.

“Good enough. I don’t think I can wait any longer…” Cedric pulled his hand out, leaving Aidan feeling more empty than he could handle. He watched as Cedric ripped open the condom’s packaging, before rolling it down his cock.

“Cedric… h- hurry…”

Cedric chuckled, the sound of it making Aidan’s cheeks heat up yet again. Why was that so hot to him?

“I could never say no to such a cute guy…”

Embarrassed, Aidan looked off to the side. Cedric made him feel way more exposed than any other man ever did.

Cedric guided his cock to where his hand was earlier, making Aidan tense up. As he slowly pushed himself inside, he got a good grip on the man’s thighs.

“F- Fuck… So… tight.” Trying to focus on the rousing way Aidan writhed, he had some slight difficulty getting all the way inside him. Despite needing some extra effort, the pressure on his cock felt good.

“Sounds to me like you’re… ah… not trying hard enough…”

Cedric narrowed his eyes on Aidan and his shaky smile. He had way more confidence than Cedric was expecting.

“Oh, so that’s how we’re playing, huh?”

Cedric moved out a bit, only to thrust right back into him. Aidan convulsed from the sudden impact, as a wave of warmth spread throughout his body.

“I- I…”

“Where did your cockiness go?” He settled into a steady rhythm, both arms hooked securely around Aidan’s legs. Aidan gripped the bed sheets even tighter, as Cedric grounded him into the mattress. His own moans and the occasional gasp kept him from responding immediately.

“I- It’s- ah… still here… I promise…”

Nothing in Cedric’s expression showed that he believed any of it; quite the opposite.

“For how long, I wonder?”

On cue, he shoved his cock far enough inside Aidan to hit that protruding spot he was aiming for. With a sharp inhale, Aidan’s back arched visibly, as he tightened around Cedric.

“A- Agh-!” Aidan couldn’t get more out, overwhelmed by the constant attacks against the same area. Cedric looked pleased but was unable to say anything witty with Aidan surrounding him so tightly. A familiar sensation stirred within both of them. But for Aidan, it was not nearly as prominent. He was starting to wonder why he wasn’t getting closer when it felt as good as it did.

“I- I’m…” Cedric’s sighs came out in tune with his thrusts, as the feeling got more intense. It didn’t last long. His eyes closed, white flashing in his mind. His moans were much louder at that moment, as cum filled the inside of the condom.

He inched himself out of the squirming man below, before quickly disposing of the condom. The often-overlooked decision to place a trash can by the bed was a surprisingly great one.

Aidan didn’t quite like where this was going. He gave Cedric a pleading look, as he whimpered from the unbearable emptiness.

“W- Wait…” Practically melting into the bed and panting heavily, Aidan reached for his own cock. However, a hand clasped around his wrist—stopping him.

“Did I say you could touch yourself?”

Aidan let out another whimper—conflicted. He was… getting edged. Wasn’t he? It was something Aidan knew of, but he hadn’t done it to anyone before. He didn’t want to admit that the way Cedric exerted power over him was incredibly arousing.

“I- I should have been able to- I’m almost-”

“Maybe, and yet, you didn’t come.”

Aidan’s hand was free. But, with such a strong presence in front of him, he wouldn’t dare try to reach for himself again.

“With just a little more… I could …” Still breathing heavily, Aidan sat up a bit.

“You’ll need to deserve it first. How about…”

Aidan watched him with anticipation.

“Get on the floor.”
