Alex needed a few things from the loft, so here they are dressed and in public, Henry thinks its overrate and would much rather have stayed in their happy, naked, sexually satisfied cocoon, but they had to join the rest of the world eventually.
To do that, Alex needs more coffee. Henry leans against the back wall waiting.
Who said "I hate to see you go but I do love watching you leave" Henry ponders, as he watches Alex make his way to the counter of the coffee shop located in the basement of his building, its certainly a sentiment he currently completely understands.
Henry listens idly to the conversation from the women at the table in front of him "Ooh who is that? the curvaceous brunette is saying nodding in Alex's direction. Her red-hair friend looks up from her phone "That the presidents son, he's up on 10th"
"What the one that got dumped by the Prince? Heard he move on with some blue blood like after a month?"
"Yep, poor bastard, the paparazzi were EVERYWHERE for weeks."
Henry's gut clenches
"Gay?"
"Bi"
"Ooh I can work with that, hot & heartbroken my favourite combination, I may have a few ideas on how to take his mind off things" and she laughs lasciviously.
"You may have to fight Badu first" the redhead says inclining her head. Henry follows her gaze and watches a tall broad shouldered man, the colour of chocolate glide towards Alex, his dreadlocks tied loosely in a knot at his nape.
"Mon cœur, he says kissing Alex on both cheeks, I haven't seen your sweet face around for a few days, where have you been hiding? he touches Alex's hand, It's not nice of you to make me fret hmm" His creole accent sounding like warmed honey.
"Il était avec moi" Henry states.
"Oh Henry,"Alex is startled at his sudden appearance, "Badu this is Henry, Henry this is my neighbour.. friend Badu."
"Oh so you're Henri" he says taking his hand, giving him an appraising glance, and turns back to look at Alex with undivided attention.
Henry never thought he believed in violence before but it seems he might be wrong.
"Cheri, I am having a small soiree for New Years, something intimate, he says as he touches Alex's forearm, I was so hoping you would be there."
Alex pulls Henry in by his waist "Sorry Henry and I have plans"
"Pity" he purrs and Alex can feel Henry's spine stiffen.
Alex takes his coffee and pulls Henry away, "We better go, good to see you Badu"
"Always my pleasure seeing you Mon Cher," Badu calls to Alex's retreating back.
Henry is seething, standing ramrod straight and his chin sticking out defiantly, the ride to the loft icy.
"Baby, everything ok?" Alex asks sweetly as he unlocks the door to the loft.
"How exactly does your little friend know about me Alex?
"Umm, lets see ... speculation about our break up was in every tabloid in the Tri-State area, he starts as he drops his keys on the counter, "...also he made me dinner, I may have mentioned you"
"I'm sorry.... Wait WHAT?" Henry gives Alex a withering look and arches his brow.
Alex shrugs, "A boy had to eat."
"What exactly was on the menu that night Alex? Henry asks coldly, unmistakably jealous.
"Gumbo, he answers being deliberately obtuse, it was delicious as I seem to remember."
"You know he wants to fuck you right? Henry counters looking murderous.
"I have been made abundantly aware, he is very ... forthcoming, Alex laughs, Unfortunately for him, I seem to be completely in love with you."
"Hmm completely in love with me hu?"Henry says after a few moments and pulls Alex to him, kisses his head and says into his hair, "I'm really sorry , the papers and the speculation that must have been really tough."
"Wasn't great, The Enquirer called me your 'piece of rough", He stretches one arm in front of him and gestures with a flick of a wrist ...me!" He was going for amusing but there is real sadness and pain behind his eyes.
"Jesus, I am so so sorry baby. They are idiots, what you are is my whole god damn world, and I am never going to fuck that up again." ..."I mean sometimes you can be my' bit of rough' ..if you want... cowboy," Henry adds biting his lip.
Alex laughs, "hmm I do have some chaps somewhere"
"Hmm, Henry rumbles low,and a Stetson"
He pulls Alex in and leans backwards on the counter top and kisses him gently and mutters "I love you" against his lips, and moves his mouth to the side of Alex's neck and gently bites his skin, licking the mark. Alex feels Henry's hand pull his shirt out of his trousers and stroke the skin above his waist, slowly undoing his belt and mutters as he sinks to his knees on to the wood floor. "You are my world"
Henry lifts the loose end of Alex's shirt and runs his tongue up the trail of hair there, dipping the tip into Alex's navel. He undoes the button and zip of his trousers and pushes them slowly to the floor running his mouth along the waistband of Alex's underwear "You are my world" he mutters against Alex's skin and he feels him slide a hand into his hair.
Henry runs his cheek and mouth along the clipped hair on Alex's mound feeling the stubble prickly under tongue. He pushes Alex's underwear down and kisses the length of him, feeling him twitch, then runs his tongue down Alex's shaft and sucks his balls into his mouth rolling them against his tongue and teeth.
He hears Alex's sharp intake of breath as he releases them, wet into the cool air of the loft and gently blows on them watching the skin prickle and feels the hand in his hair tighten it's grip.
"Fuck" Alex groans.
"You are my world" Henry mutters as he takes Alex into his mouth and sucks him gently, then gradually harder and harder moving up and down the length of him, he hears Alex swear profanities to the ceiling and evoke the gods.
Alex meets Henry eyes and watches transfixed as he sucks two fingers into his mouth, withdrawing them to drool over the tips, "Oh my fucking god" he gasps.
Henry grab Alex's arse in both hands and rolling his tongue over the swollen head, circling it before taking him fully into his mouth and sucking hard, grazing him with his teeth as he slides his fingers into him. Alex sees stars as he explodes at the back of Henry's throat, and feels him swallow.
Alex legs buckle and he drops to his knees, Henry pulls him in and kisses his deeply, he can taste himself on Henry's tongue, "I love you Alex, Henry mutters, I will never give you reason to doubt that again" and pulls him in against his chest and kisses his sweaty hair.
They lay there in a puddle of limbs on the carpet, Alex on Henry's chest and Henry's back propped up against the back of the armchair, their fingers entwined.
"So where can I put my things?" Henry asks, Alex looks puzzled at the request, "I mean if you think I am going to let you stay here alone with that oversexed miscreant next door, you are out of your mind!"
