Kiss & Control

Ignite it: part 1

The sound of the younger's soft panting broke the silence of the room. The smell of the wood-scented candle he had lit bothering James a bit as it didn't quite let him be able to catch his lover's scent as he kissed his way down the muscular chest. Austin had gained a bit of weight and it looked absolutely good on him. Sure, his muscles weren't as defined as usual, but the additional pounds had made him softer, especially his cheeks that were James's favorite.
He still remembered the very first time he saw Austin. Back at the job interview, the final round, where it was only a thirty-minute talk, one on one, between him and three of the candidates for the head of the marketing department's position. The first two had been so horrible with their answers that he had wanted to call off the third one, his temples throbbing with anger. He had the phone in his hand to inform his secretary to tell the guy to go home and not waste his time when Austin had knocked on his door. It had taken James a minute to collect himself from the electric-kind-of-shock of the absolutely beautiful sight of the man standing in his office's doorframe, standing there with the phone still in hand like a fool. The younger was about the same weight as he currently was back then, too. He had the squishiest cheeks James had ever seen on a man, so pale and soft. He had moments of difficulty back then in that interview when he had to tear his eyes away and not stare at the way those flexible lips talked in a permanent pout and the way those cheeks moved along with them. Adorable was his first impression of Austin, along with fucking good for the job with the answers he gave him and all the strategies he came up with on the spot for the different situations James sorted out for him.

"James~" His lover's voice broke his train of thought as fingers entangled with his hair.
Austin was lying down on the white silk sheets of their giant bed, naked and delicious and with him between his legs. The latter had stayed back at the company to get a few things done, coming home late and skipping his dinner. Instead, he had jumped in the shower, taken a rather long one before coming out and telling James to make love to him. It must've been a stressful day if the scented candle was saying anything at the moment. He always used those to calm himself when he was having it a bit rough.

"Hm?" He lifted his head up from where he was kissing right next to the younger's navel and looked deep into those deep eyes. The coffee-brown color reflecting light through them as the other looked back at him with so much love pouring out of his gaze.
Austin didn't say anything and only cupped his face, pulling him up until his head was right above his. Lifting his head from the pillow a little, he caught James's lips in a slow passionate kiss. Their lips and tongues dancing together in beautiful harmony as the sound of sheets rustling kept them in touch with reality. Circling one leg around James's hips, the younger pushed him down on himself to get him closer. He gasped beautifully at the friction when their erections rubbed momentarily. Raking his fingers through Austin's hair, he pushed the strands out of his face, away from his pretty forehead, and placed a long chaste kiss on its skin as he himself closed his eyes to bask in the lovely sensation. His lover hummed musically, his fingertips brushing up and down James's arms in a gentle caress.
"Did something happen today?" He asked after he forced himself to lean back and detach his lips from the other's skin. Though he couldn't stay away, and as soon as he finished his question, he stole a peck from the soft cheek quickly.

Austin smiled and shook his head, blinking slowly as he continued to caress over James's chest and biceps.
"You sure? You look a bit gloomy. You didn't even eat anything." Again, he pushed the intruding hair away from the gorgeous face, caressing over the younger's temple with his thumb as he looked into those eyes that were looking back at him.
"I'm just tired, baby. These new interns are seriously a handful. But today they worked really hard and to encourage them to keep doing so, I ordered dinner for us all. We ate there together. Don't worry~" His Austin cooed adorably as he raised his head from the pillow a little and rubbed the tips of their noses together. James chuckled at the gesture and scrunched his nose. He still felt a little uneasy, though. With Austin, it was sometimes a tiny bit complicated. He would go into his shell and become all sad but would refuse to admit to it, masking it with some other excuse to pretend everything was okay, that he was completely fine. More often than not, James would find that there was no reason, well no current reason, for his sudden low moods, something to do with his past experiences before he got his life together and before he came to work for his company all those years ago.
