Tango

Little Darling

After that night, happened what Alex thought to be impossible. The sound of the grand piano became a lot more common around the mansion. At first, it was quiet and shy. But with each passing day, it became more confident. Of course, it didn't happen every day, but the Caribbean man was more than pleased any time he heard the distinct sound of the ivories being played. Not only did Thomas become more candid with his playing but he would try and play a different peace every few days, so as to not bore his other half to death.

Alexander loved catching a glimpse of the Virginian sitting at the piano keys, it transformed the older man into someone else. He was free and playful. The Jefferson that sat at the piano in the evening was relaxed and carefree, the moments along with the melodies almost like a trance. Even if Thomas still protested and stated his playing was just amateur hour, Hamilton still loved it, because he knew Thomas wasn't playing for the sake of it, but because he wanted to be better, to teach their daughter. It also didn't hurt that Alex had found his very own personal Mozart.

It was a peaceful morning in the last week of July, as they tended to be around the vastness of Monticello. It was something Thomas had always loved about the estate. No traffic outside the windows, the full morning sun creeping in, without being obscured by other buildings, which led to lovely natural light throughout the home. The first few rays of light had begun to seep in through the curtains, blinding Thomas. He opened his eyes to see it was five-seventeen o'clock.

Displeased he turned his back to the windows hoping to fall fast asleep for just a couple more hours. His arm reached out to wrap around his lover but, there was nothing there aside from cold sheets. The brunet's absence distressed him as it always did, but the Virginian tried not to stress. He's fine, he must be. But where was he?

Quietly, Thomas got out of bed hoping to hear rustling about the house. Surely enough, muffled sounds of frustration were heard nearby. The taller man followed the grunts, his feet leading him to the adjacent bathroom. For a split second, his mind thought of the worst. Don't be in labor. Don't be in labor. Unsure, he peeked around the doorframe and pushed the door a little to see inside. Relief washed over him, as he laughed under his nose.

Inside, he saw Alex naked, fruitlessly trying to arouse himself. The taller man snickered to himself at the hopeless display and felt pity for his bedmate. He watched a little longer, getting hot and bothered himself, and finally decided he'd had enough. Thomas knocked hesitantly on the doorframe and made himself known. He wrapped his arm tenderly around the other man, feeling how hot his skin had gotten.

"Why didn't you say anything? I said I would help you." He whispered into the younger man's ear as his hand made its way down, lightly grazing the other man's member, teasing him.

Alexander shuddered in the embrace.

"I figured it was rude to wake you, just to jack me off when I can do it myself."

"Looks to me like you're having some trouble." Jefferson breathed in his partner's scent, his face buried in the shorter man's neck.

Alex grinned at the remark.

"Unfortunately, the same little someone who's causing my unprompted arousal has gotten a little too big, and is now in the way." His breath hitched in his throat as he felt Thomas pleasuring him.

"I'll see what I can do..." He replied before taking out a bit more lube from the tube that was on the counter, presumably already used by Alex.

His hand now ready, he grabbed his lover's shaft and pumped gently, knowing the other was probably not that far from the edge anyway. He worked slowly and just as he had suspected, the younger man quickly began to melt in his arms. As his movements went on, he could feel the brunet establishing a rhythm for him to follow, his back pushing into the Virginian's chest for support. Within just a couple of minutes, the underside of Hamilton's stomach was covered. The older man held him up, as the shorter man's legs quivered beneath him. The serene morning silence enveloped them once more.
