Never Say Never (2 page)

“Sure.” His co-worker Diane nodded and waved as she looked up from her magazine.

Adam spun around and tripped over the machine behind him. He caught himself before falling and heard Nick’s soft chuckle.

man knew he couldn’t get to the bathroom quick enough and loved the predicament he’d caused.

Adjusting his swelling cock, Adam smiled as he walked on. He loved it, too.

Inside the large bathroom, he opened a supply closet and removed the sign that read,
Showers closed for cleaning – open in fifteen minutes
. He stood the orange placard upright on its triangle base and positioned it just past the urinals and stalls.

“Ought to do it,” he said.

“Definitely.” Nick unfastened his belt and reached for the button on his fly. He pressed Adam’s shoulders, directing him back towards the tiled room with its rows of faucets.

Adam chose a dressing room at the far end with a privacy curtain and separate shower.

He dragged Nick inside and drew the hanging drape closed. Another couple of steps and he reached into the enclosure and turned the handle on full force with a cold spray. After closing the plastic curtain, he glanced at Nick.

“A little background noise.”

“Good. We’ll need it.” Nick removed his erection from his trousers and gripped it, squeezing the shaft playfully.

Adam groaned at the delectable sight, licking his lips. “Damn,” he murmured in a husky voice. “There’s a sight I’ll never get tired of. You’re gorgeous.”

“Right back at you, babe. You’re the only one who can get me this hard. Only you.”

Adam’s chest swelled with satisfaction.
I’m crazy about this guy.

His mushy thoughts were interrupted by urging from his man.

“On your knees, lover,” Nick directed. “I want it fast, but it has to be good.”

Chuckling, Adam lowered himself as instructed. His face was mere inches from the swollen shaft, the droplet of pre-cum glistening on the tip beckoning him. “Mmm, it’ll be good. Don’t worry.”

Nick guided his dick into Adam’s willing mouth. “I’m not worried. Perhaps you should be, though. You understand there’s a risk of punishment if I’m not pleased.”

Adam laughed as best he could with his mouth stuffed full of cock. He glanced up but couldn’t see Nick’s face—just heard the soft chuckle he’d grown familiar with.
Is he joking?

Nick had never talked about punishment before, but the mental image sent thrills down Adam’s spine.

NEVER SAY NEVER

Before Adam could dwell further on the subject, Nick began a thrusting rhythm, requiring his entire attention. He clasped Nick’s thighs and allowed the thick shaft to drive straight down his throat. He’d always been able to control his gag reflex, a skill which came in handy when deep-throating a lover. It excited him to be able to do it now.
I want to do
everything for Nick. Everything.
Breathing through his nose, Adam accepted the face-fucking and returned the treat with unabashed enthusiasm.

“Nice.” Nick threaded his fingers through Adam’s curly hair.

Adam agreed with an unintelligible grunt. He dug his fingers into Nick’s legs, struggling to hang on as the man bobbed back and forth.

“Fuck!” Nick swore. He muttered loudly and yanked Adam’s blond locks when he came. Pulsing streams of warm cum shot down Adam’s accepting throat.

The orgasm seemed to last forever. Adam was sure his lover’s moans and mumblings could be heard outside their dressing room and fervently hoped no other guys were around.

When the flow of cum finished, he licked the last drop and sat back on his haunches.

“Damn, you’re good,” Nick mumbled, tucking himself into his briefs and fastening his pants. “I’m one lucky son of a bitch.”

Adam stood and smiled. “Think so?”

Nick grinned and pressed Adam against the dressing room wall. “I
know
so. You were fabulous. Unfortunately, this means I won’t have to spank your ass cheeks until they’re rosy.”

“Where’s all this ‘punishment’ and ‘spanking’ talk coming from? You’ve never mentioned anything like it before.”

With his hands firmly on Adam’s shoulders, Nick lowered the turtleneck shirt and sucked a spot on his neck. “Mmm, baby, it turns me on.”

“Obviously,” Adam chuckled, attempting to control his nerves. There was no chance of controlling his burgeoning erection. To his great surprise, the talk turned him on, too. Almost as much as the intense interest his neck was getting.

“Have we still got five minutes for me to reciprocate?” Nick murmured. “I want to make you feel as great as I do.”

“Not sure it’ll take that long,” Adam groaned.

NEVER SAY NEVER

Nick cupped his crotch and squeezed. “Oh, yeah. You’re nice and hard for me, already.

I’m going to gobble you up. Don’t really want to get on the floor in my suit, though. Why don’t you turn around like this?” Moving Adam’s body so it faced the wall, Nick sat on the bench in front of him. “There we go.” His face was now at crotch level, a position he took immediate advantage of.

Adam leant forward, pressing his hands against the wall. He inhaled as Nick released his dick and stroked it and the soft balls beneath. “Yes,” Adam murmured, anxious for the feel of Nick’s wet mouth.

“Aren’t you forgetting something?” Nick blew a warm breath across his genitals.

Adam’s mind raced. He’d just given a fantastic blowjob and was prepared to accept one in return.
Nope, not forgetting a thing
. “What?” he murmured.

The tip of Nick’s tongue traced the slit in Adam’s cock head. “Ask for what you want, lover
.
Ask nicely, and I won’t make you beg.”

His erection throbbed, and Adam shifted his weight from one foot to the other. Nick had a habit of getting him all worked up then pausing, teasing him unmercifully. Adam had grown accustomed to it, and it didn’t really bother him. The positives
always
outweighed the negatives. Nick was one person he didn’t mind begging. Head over heels in lust, he’d do anything for the handsome stud.

Adam inhaled. The attention to his cock had ceased, and he needed to get it going again, pronto
.
“Please, babe. Suck me. Let me shoot down your throat. I’m desperate. I need it,
now
. Please.”

Nick’s mouth captured the shaft and sucked it deep. His moans of approval were almost as loud as those when he’d come.

Adam didn’t care. He was close. So close to Nirvana he could taste it, as surely as he still tasted the musky flavour of his lover’s cum. Without the support of the wall, he would have fallen. “Yes. Suck me harder!”

Nick’s hands slid inside Adam’s briefs and cupped his ass. When he squeezed Adam’s bum, it was over.

Adam exploded in waves of sensation. His cum shot down Nick’s throat as the man’s mouth and jaw muscles milked him for every last bit. He forced himself to keep his groan quiet as the water from the shower continued to patter down.

When he could stand again, Adam released the wall and ran his hands over Nick’s face and head. “Perfect. So good. Thank you.”

Nick sucked a spot on Adam’s thigh, leaving a deep red love bite. He straightened and stood, tucking Adam’s package into his briefs on the way. “You’re welcome. Now, I can get through my long day.”

He cupped the back of Adam’s head, pulling him close for a kiss.

Adam groaned again. The musky taste of his own seed was fresh on Nick’s tongue.

Their soul-searing kiss sent tingles over his flesh. If Nick didn’t release him soon, he’d be erect again.

Adam placed his hands on Nick’s chest and pressed him away lightly. “You’ve got to go. Now. Or I might not let you leave.”

Nick stepped back and chuckled. “My little slut. I love that about you. Always hard for me. Always ready to get it up when I am.” He grabbed Adam’s crotch and squeezed gently.

“You bet,” Adam agreed, the heady compliment floating around in his mind.

Nick handled the cock and balls more firmly. “Only for me, right? The other muscular pretty boys around here won’t turn your head?”

“Never.” Adam sighed. With Nicolas in his life, he didn’t even notice the other handsome guys who worked out.

One hard squeeze to his genitals had Adam blinking into Nick’s steady gaze with surprise.

Nick smiled. “And no touching yourself, either.”

“Of course not.” Adam nodded sincerely.

Nick released him and placed a light kiss on Adam’s mouth. “My perfect man.”

Adam’s heart raced. It felt so damned good when Nick called him ‘his man’, he could barely stand it.

Nick cupped Adam’s face and ran his thumb over the chin. “Remember, if I find out you’ve been anything other than perfect, there’ll be punishment. Something sinfully delicious—a mixture of pleasure and pain you won’t soon forget.”

A shiver ran down Adam’s spine. He’d never been threatened with punishment before today. The way his lover described it had him almost considering breaking a rule just so he could find out what Nick was talking about. His cock thickened and throbbed.

“God damn!” he muttered, aroused.

Nick grinned and shoved the privacy curtain open. No one else was in sight in the shower area.

Adam slapped the faucet, and the water stopped. He glanced back at Nick. “Wait. Tell me more.”

“I have to get back to work. We’ll talk about this again another time.” Nick glanced in the big mirror hanging on the outer wall and combed his hair with one hand.

“Don’t go!” Adam grabbed Nick’s other hand and pressed it to his erection. “Look what you’ve done to me. You need to stay and explain yourself—or better yet, we don’t have to talk at all.”

A rumble of laughter shook Nick’s chest. “Go back to work, lover. I’ll see you tomorrow.” He stopped in front of a sink long enough to wash his hands and give his appearance a final check in the smaller mirror there.

“Nick!” Adam groaned with frustration as the other man headed out.

Nick turned and shook one finger at him, the smile on his face wickedly evil and wildly arousing. He winked at Adam and left.

“Shit!” Adam pounded one hand against the wall. He’d have to remain in the bathroom long enough for his hard-on to deflate, which, if he kept thinking about Nick and his threats of punishment, might take a very long time. Adam smiled, wondering exactly what his new lover had in mind.

When his shift ended for the day, Adam squeezed in an hour workout and lifted weights. With no reason to hurry home, he focussed on each muscle group as he exercised. It was a welcome relief to concentrate on something besides the man he’d been fixated on for weeks. Being with Nick was amazing, but Adam was starting to feel a bit obsessed with him.

His mind kept returning to the last time they’d had sex and wondering when they might make love again.

He took a healthy drink of water from the bottle he carried back and forth to the gym.

After stretching his muscles gently in a cool down, he gathered his things and headed out to his car. It was a warm evening, and the fresh air smelled good. Adam inhaled, glancing around casually as he unlocked the door.

A flash of avocado green caught his eye. Adam did a double take. There weren’t many trucks around town painted that hideous shade. He hadn’t seen one since Mitch packed his up and drove away. The ancient green tub he looked at now seemed uncomfortably familiar.

Mitch?
The truck was a block away, now, so he didn’t have a clear view of the driver.

His imagination placed a tan-coloured, straw cowboy hat and a long, brown ponytail on the man. He could almost envision the tattoo of a bucking bronco on the guy’s left arm and his elbow poking out the window like always.

Adam’s gut clenched, and his cock twitched. He mentally kicked himself and batted down the momentary excitement.
Mitch is gone
.
He’s been gone for almost a year, and I’m still
pissed as hell about the way he left.

The confession startled Adam. He’d put on a good show about being over his old flame, had tried to convince everyone, including himself, he was telling the truth. Yet, the first time he caught a glimpse of a vehicle that looked like Mitch’s, Adam’s insides got all twisted up. It was almost as if he couldn’t breathe, couldn’t open his mouth or lungs enough to pull in air.

The stoplight down the road changed, and the old green truck moved along. Adam watched it go, wondering once more about the man in the driver’s seat.
It can’t be Mitch
. He’d left for Texas and the rodeo circuit which had seemed all-important to him at the time. Adam had never heard if things had worked out for him.

As he climbed into his sporty, red Ford Mustang, Adam had the fleeting thought that he hoped Mitch had found what he was looking for. He caught the reflection of his watery, blue eyes in the rear view mirror, and frowned.
No, I don’t. I hope he hates the rodeo and comes
crawling back to me so I can dump him, this time
.

The admission didn’t make him feel better. He pointed the car towards home, wishing Nick would be there, waiting for him. Nick always made him feel better.

Mitch Silver quickly accelerated his old, green Chevy through the intersection. He’d driven past the small shopping centre which housed Full Throttle Fitness several times each day in the week he’d been home. He’d caught glimpses of the hard-to-miss little, red car, but NEVER SAY NEVER

this was the first time he’d actually seen Adam. It was probably his imagination, but it almost seemed like the blond-haired hunk was staring at
him
.

Impossible.
Adam had no idea he was home. The horrible way Mitch had left made it tough to reappear all friendly-like.
Hi, honey, I’m home.
He’d been rehearsing what he’d say if he got the opportunity.
I know I treated you like crap, walking out the way I did. I was jealous when
you finished school and got a job. You seemed to be living your dreams while mine were stuck in my
head. But, hey, the rodeo thing wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Especially, when I fell off a horse and
hurt my back, and the doc said I shouldn’t ride anymore.
