Dark Attraction

Chapter sixteen - aftercare, normal life

I was wasted, worn out and every inch of my skin felt over sensitized and on fire. Gage lifted off me and both of us groaned.

Gage undid the leather straps from around my wrists and arms, and pulled me forward to rest my forehead against his chest. I breathed heavily, as if I'd run ten miles.

"It's all right," Gage said. "I've got you, puppy."

I concentrated on trying to breathe.

Gage's hand rubbed wide circles on my back. "It's all right. You did so well."

His words were as soothing as the movement of his palm on my back. It made me feel incredible, his praise, and knowing that I'd pleased him. It compounded with the incredible post orgasm high to make me utterly floppy and boneless.

"Lie back now, head on the pillows." He laid me back with gentle steady hands but I didn't want to let go of him.

"Cuddle?" I asked. He chuckled and laid down beside me, pulling me into his arms.

"Anything you want, beautiful boy."

I liked that, I wanted to be his beautiful boy. I smiled and nuzzled my face into his chest. He laughed softly.

"You're so cute like this," he said. "All fucked out and happy."

I sneaked a hand around his waist and down to his ass, cupping the curve of it and squeezing. "Only you're the one who's fucked out tonight."

"Heh," Gage said. He stroked his fingers through my hair. "Don't get too used to it. I don't really like to bottom that much. It made sense with you in that position though."

I kissed his cheek and nuzzled him. "I appreciate that, I feel pretty special."

"You are special. Brand, you're nothing like anyone I've ever brought home. You know that right?"

His finger trailed to the silver chain and the crest hanging down under the collar I was still wearing.

"Yeah, I know." I blushed a little, even though with what we'd gone through there was no reason for me to be embarrassed. "It's the same for me. I've never felt this way about anyone else. I like you so much, and you just... you hit so many buttons... I just want to be with you all the time. Do whatever you suggest..." I trailed off, laughing at myself, not willing to promise too much even if it was what I wanted.

Gage kissed the top of my head. "Fuck. I'm pretty gone for you."

I felt like I was glowing.

I fell asleep in his arms, sure that there was nothing I could ever experience which would be more perfect. Nothing in the entire world.

The next morning I showered and got dressed alone. When I went out into the kitchen, Gage mhad cooked a huge breakfast of omelette with cheese and bacon and a stack of hot buttered toast plus a protein smoothie.

"This is incredible," I said, sitting down and starting to shovel it into my mouth. "How'd you know I was hungry?"

"You're young and I drank from you," Gage smiled, watching me. "Mmm, I can feel some of your enjoyment. It's almost like being human again..."

"Do you miss it?" I asked, in between bites of omelette.

"Sometimes," he said. Then he looked away and I got serious 'don't ask more' vibes, so I focused on my breakfast. He even gave me a little kiss goodbye, which made me grin, giddy as a romantic comedy star.

I had a spring in my step as I made my way back towards campus. I'm a tall guy, but I felt even taller, I felt like I had found something like a purpose. Maybe Gage really was my soulmate, and having had that conversation with him the night before, something had slotted into place for me.
