DorkFish 4: The Ruthless Scheme

Incipit Vita Nova

8:04 A.M.

Jared woke up entangled in Jensen.

For the first time in their relationship, they were a complex knot of warm, heavy limbs, bound together by a twist of sumptuous bed linens that glowed white in the morning light. Jensen lay face down on his stomach with his arm wrapped around Jared, his hand buried in the depths of his hair, his palm cradling his skull. One of his bowed legs had threaded itself between his during the night, claiming him as his own while he slept. He'd nestled his face beside his, snuggling into his neck so closely that his golden curls tickled his cheek and the warmth of his breathing caressed his shoulder.

Lying half underneath him with his heart beating alongside his, Jared knew a happiness he never thought possible, not after giving up hope for such a thing so many months ago. He counted the strong, steady beats of Jensen's slow, sleeping pulse, using it as a metronome to measure his joy in a moment he wished could last forever.

He began tracing light, lazy circles along the mob boss' bicep in time with his relaxing internal rhythm, ended up losing count somewhere in the three hundreds as his thoughts drifted in glee.

'He stayed with me all night this time,' Jared thought blissfully, and on this very first morning of discovering his husband still asleep in bed beside him, he wanted to see his face. Jared shifted ever so slightly, testing the waters before making any decisive moves, and got the green light after several seconds of listening to the unchanged sound of his slumber. Slowly, mindfully, he rolled over onto his side so he could face him, Jensen moved right along with him while he slept peacefully on.

Jared studied his handsome face until he felt the picture of it burn into his memory. So strong, so serene... his classic, aristocratic features reminded him again of Apollo lording with aloof grace from the high temples of Olympia. Imperative brows shaped eyes that could command any army even while closed, despite the romance of those long, lush lashes lying against his cheeks. Unable to resist, he ran a light fingertip down the sharp line of his nose, and then pressed boldly onward to the firm, full sexiness of his lips. Tracing along his strong jawline led him deep into the thicket of his hair, where the dark blond waves curled themselves around his questing fingers, and he smiled when Jensen made a pleased sound in his sleep at his touch.

'He will look just like you,' Jared thought warmly, thinking of their baby boy. 'He will have my dark curls, but otherwise Justice will look just like you.'

Jared delighted in the strength of his broad shoulder and the muscles of his chest that could have been sculpted by Phidias himself, before moving southward to -

Their conversation from last night lit in his mind like a match.

'Like father, like son.'

Jared's eyes flicked back to Jensen's face. He watched him for a good thirty seconds, once he was positive he was still sound asleep, he carefully lifted the sheet that covered them to take a peek between his legs.

Sure enough, there it was.

The proof that he, like his son, had never been circumcised.

He stared at him, fascinated by how the thick, long shaft he'd known last night was now a soft snuggle hidden inside a cocoon of silky skin. He looked comfortable and capable, even in this flaccid state, while Jared's fingers burned to touch hi, he resisted lest he wake him.

'I can't believe I didn't notice before,' he chided himself, but before he could further disparage his failing powers of observation, the protective hood over him began to disappear right before his eyes. Riveted, he watched the tender foreskin fold back as he hardened, mere moments later there was no trace of the softness he had just seen. His heart skipped a beat at the meaning behind this rapid transformation, Jared dropped the sheet down his skin flushing with knowledge that he had just been caught in the role of voyeur.
