Christmas Homecoming, a Hammer Club story 

By Sean Michael 

Grady rang the doorbell to Oliver's place, two bottles 

of wine under his arm. Another Thanksgiving without 
his Joey. He didn't want to be here, not really. He 
wanted to be at home, in his house, with Joey. 

He sighed and shook himself. "Come on, Grady. 

Buck up. At least you're home and among friends." Joey 
was the one in a warzone. 

Jack opened the door, bounced into his arms, the little 

sub all smiles. "Master Grady! You came!" 

He summoned up a smile for Jack. "I did. How could 

I refuse you and Oliver?" 

"I'm so glad." Jack kissed his cheek. "We miss your 

smile." The best part was that the words sounded true, 
like Jack was truly pleased to see him. 

He handed over the wine bottles and patted Jack's 

shoulders. "Thank you, boy." 

"Come in. We're a good-sized group today -- about 

fourteen, I think." 

"You and Oliver are too good to us strays." He was 

relieved, actually, that he was just one of a group. 

"Nonsense, my boy. Having my family around me is 

most important." Oliver came to him, face wreathed in 
smiled. "Jack, that darling little caterer has some 
questions." 

"Happy Thanksgiving, Oliver." Grady gave the man a 

hug as Jack dashed off. 

"Happy Thanks..." 
His phone buzzed, interrupting them. He frowned. 

"Sorry, Oliver, I'll just be a minute." He flipped open the 
phone. "Hello?" 

"Grady. Happy Thanksgiving." Oh. Oh, his Joey.

"Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Joey. Have they 

done you a special meal?" The last thanksgiving they'd 
been together they'd had peanut butter sandwiches and it 
had been the best he could remember in a long time. 

"They did shit at the mess earlier, yeah. I'm fixin' to 

go out on a night patrol, knew you'd be up." 

Grady slipped into one of the rooms off the front hall, 

knowing Oliver wouldn't begrudge him the privacy. "I 
am. Oliver was good enough to invite me." 

Joey's voice sounded so good. 
"Yeah? He bring you a boy to serve you turkey?" Oh, 

his green eyed soldier. It felt good to know the wanting 
and the missing weren't all one-way. 

"The only boy I'm interested in has night patrol." 
"I miss you." Joey sighed softly. "I'll Skype you 

Sunday?" 

"I miss you too, and it's a date." He wanted to reach 

through the phone and touch his boy. He wanted to 
stroke Joey's cheek, to kiss those lovely lips, to swat that 
amazing, muscled ass. 

"Good deal. I have to go. Have turkey and don't fall 

in love with some twink." 

"I won't. I promise." He closed his cell phone and 

slipped it in his pocket, sighing. Fall in love with some 
twink. As if there was anyone in his heart other than his 
Joey. 

He stood there a second, then Oliver's hand patted his 

shoulder. "Come be with your friends, Grady. Let your 
boy save the world." 

He nodded and shook off his mood as best he could, 

following Oliver back to the main room where everyone 
was gathered. He would eat turkey and pie and be 
grateful that he had Joey in his life, even if his lover was 
deployed overseas.

"Grady, you need to come to the auction. I need your 

assistance." Oliver's voice brooked no argument, and the 
fact that the man was standing at his front door was 
ominous. 

"Surely you have a whole cadre of men who could 

help you?" To say he was feeling anti-social was an 
understatement. He was missing Joey like he had a hole 
in his heart, and the last thing he wanted to do was 
participate in the club's holiday auction. 

"You're the only one who I know, for sure, is free of 

plans." 

Oh, now, that felt like it was a little below the belt. 

"Gee, thanks, Oliver." 

"What? You'll celebrate next time he's home on 

leave. We worry about you." 

"I'm fine, Oliver. I'm just not in the mood to go and 

be festive." To watch all the men bid for their lovers at 
auction. 

"So come and be nasty. As long as you keep track of 

the money, I don't care." 

That startled a laugh out of him. "All right, all right. I 

should know better than to say no to you." 

"You absolutely should. This is a huge fundraiser for 

us and I guarantee you that you'll enjoy it." 

"As long as I don't have to promise to enjoy it, I'll 

come." He gave Oliver a wink. 

"You can scowl hideously. Are you going to invite 

me in, or should we go get coffee?" 

"Oh, sorry, Oliver. Where are my manners?" He 

stepped back, opening the door wider. 

"In Afghanistan, I imagine." Oliver winked, came in. 

"How are things at work?" 

Christmas Homecoming - 5

He chuckled and closed the door, leading Oliver to 

the kitchen. "I've been putting a lot of extra time in. By 
the time Joey comes home, I should have months worth 
of time off. Which I guess will come in handy. Coffee?" 

"Oh, excellent news. Please." 
He poured Oliver a cup of coffee, putting the cream 

and sugar on the table before putting some cookies on a 
plate. "And how are you and Jack doing?" 

"Exceptionally well, thank you. He was going to 

leave for Iraq in March, but we've discussed it and we 
feel his heart is better served at home." 

"Oh, I'm pleased for you, Ollie. The war has taken 

too many of our men from us already." 

"It has." When he sat, Oliver patted his hand. "How is 

Joey?" 

"Just fine last time I heard." He'd only had the one 

call since Thanksgiving. Joey'd missed the last three 
Skype sessions. "I'm worried about him, Oliver. He 
needs me." What was more, he needed Joey. 

"When does he come home for good?" 
Grady shook his head. "They're being cagey. He 

swears he should be home by Valentine's Day, but I'm 
worried it'll be another year." 

"Another year? In combat?" 
"They've already extended him two years, Oliver, 

why wouldn't they add another?" 

"I don't know, Grady. I'm sorry. I know it's difficult 

for you. Is there anything I can do?" 

He huffed out his breath. "You can tell me to start 

acting like the grown up I am or you'll put me over your 
knee and spank the self-pity party out of me." 

Oliver chuckled. "Indeed. Or we could go train Ev 

together. That man is enough to drive me to drink." 

Ev was a Dom in Training, a wild child with a temper 

and an amazing sense of humor. A challenge.

"That sounds like the best idea I've heard all week." 

He gave Oliver a grateful smile. Maybe helping out at 
the auction wouldn't be that bad after all; he needed a 
distraction. "What is it you need me to do again for this 
year's auction?" 

"Keep track of the funds for me, mainly. Marcus was 

going to do the honors, but Jim will be on a book tour." 

"He's not going to be emceeing this year either? 

That's a pity." 

"No. No, this year it's Billy and Tanny." 
Grady laughed. "Oh, you're going to need to be on 

top of that Tanny. He's a live wire." A good boy, for 
sure, but the boy knew exactly how to act out to get 
what he wanted, needed from his master. 

Unlike his Joey, who simmered and bubbled, making 

him come fetch his boy, making him get Joey to beg for 
release, for the strapping and plugging he needed. 
Grady's prick rose a little as he thought about Joey. 
Damn, but he needed his boy home. 

"I intend to let Bill take care of that, I believe. What 

do you think we should do for appetizers?" 

"Mini corn-dogs on a stick." He kept his expression 

serious, waiting for Oliver's reaction. 

One eyebrow rose. "Not beanie-weenies?" 
"Too obvious, no?" 
"Frozen bananas with cream?" Oliver was having too 

much fun. 

"Sausages and apricots for the main?" 
"Surrounded with gherkins and olives?" 
They both looked at each other and cracked up. 
He patted Oliver on the back. "I think you should 

leave the menu up to Xavier. Isn't that what you pay him 
for?"

"It is. He's insisting on steaks and shrimp with some 

curry for those few vegetarians." Oliver's nose wrinkled. 
"It's just not... Christmassy." 

"If you want turkey, ask for turkey. You're the boss, 

Oliver, there should be some perks." 

"I want roast beef." 
"Then tell them that's what you want." Sometimes 

Oliver was too nice. 

"I may do that yet." Oliver smiled. "Sometimes a man 

needs something traditional." 

"Roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy and Yorkshire 

pudding?" It sounded very homey and Christmas, really. 
Grady would bet it would go over well. 

"And some delicious cake." Oliver nodded, making 

notes on a Blackberry. 

He waited for a beat, then said simply, "Fruitcake." 
Oliver's laugh rang out, and soon his joined right in. 

*** 

Grady shifted, watching yet another boy get 'bought' 

by his master. He'd been right -- attending the Hammer's 
Christmas Auction was making him miss his boy even 
more. It didn't help that he'd been here since just after 
lunch to help set everything up, and then had spent the 
entire auction sitting behind the payments table, taking 
money, running credit cards, and watching happy 
couples hook up. 

Not that he was unhappy for any of them, but damn 

it, all he wanted was some face time with Joey. And by 
that he meant more than just a chance to Skype. He 
wanted in person face time. And chest time. And ass 
time. And cock time. 

He wanted his boy, damn it. 

Christmas Homecoming - 8 

background image

The only saving grace was that the auction was 

nearly over, and while he had to stay until all the monies 
raised had been collected, it would be easier to do 
without having to watch yet another pair get together via 
the auction. 

Billy stepped up to the stage, long black braid coiled 

around his neck like a make-shift collar. "We have one 
last auction for tonight. One last sub hoping the right 
master will snap him up and keep him." 

Grady frowned and looked at his list. Xan had been 

the last auction, snapped up by Giles, as expected. 
Tradition now, though they'd not actually been together 
the first few years it had happened. 

A broad-shouldered man, dressed simply in a white t-

shirt and jeans, stepped onto the stage, blue eyes so 
bright they were like lasers when he moved into the 
light. 

"Gentlemen, let me introduce..." 
Grady stood, utterly shocked. "Joey?" That was his 

Joey, as sure as he was standing there. Joey. Here in the 
club, the most beautiful man Grady had ever seen. He 
strode toward the stage. 

"He's up for..." 
Joey stepped off the stage, coming right toward him, 

that smile real and warm. "Hey." 

He opened his arms and wrapped Joey in a tight hug. 

Real. This was real. He wasn't ever going to let go. 

He heard the club explode in applause, but it didn't 

matter. All his heart heard was Joey's whispered. "Merry 
Christmas, huh?" 

"Yes. Yes, Merry Christmas." He squeezed his eyes 

closed as tightly as he hugged Joey to him. He would 
not cry. 

Christmas Homecoming - 9

"There's supposed to be this big thing -- the auction, 

hot sex in a back room." Joey shook his head. "My 
gear's already in your car. Take me home, Sir?" 

"Absolutely." He didn't take a kiss; they'd put on 

enough of a show already and that would be for just 
them. 

Turning, his arm around Joey's waist, he looked over 

at the table where he'd been taking payments. Oliver was 
where he'd been sitting, shit-eating grin on the man's 
face, giving him two thumbs-up. He didn't say or do 
another thing; he grabbed Joey's hand and led him out to 
the car. 

It didn't even feel real. 
It didn't seem possible. 
"When did you get back?" He finally asked as they 

slid into the car. 

"I hit CONUS a week ago. They did most of my out-

processing in the desert. I got into town this morning." 
Out-processing? Joey had said Valentine's Day at the 
earliest. The absolute earliest. 

"You're a sneak. You and Oliver. Now him, I can't do 

anything about, but your ass is all mine." He grinned 
over, excitement going through him. It was feeling more 
and more real. 

"I wasn't sure that it would work, but Oliver knows a 

Rabbi and that Rabbi knew a clerk whose father is a 
Senator..." 

He glanced over at Joey before turning his attention 

back to the road. "Seriously? Not that it really matters. 
I'm just happy that you're home. How long are you back 
for?" Please let it be for longer than just the holidays. 

Joey's hand brushed his thigh. "As long as you'll keep 

me, I guess." 

He dropped his hand to Joey's, wrapping them 

together. "Really? You're home for good?" 

Christmas Homecoming - 10

"I'm done. A civilian. Home." 
Grady had to make himself focus on the road, on just 

getting to the house. "That is the best Christmas present 
I could have ever gotten." The urge to speed was huge. 
Enormous. 

"Home. Home, home, home." Pushy man. 
"You've waited this long, you can wait another five 

minutes." He was speaking to himself as much as to his 
Joey. 

"I could jack off right here, just smelling you." 
"Don't you dare, boy." The words growled out of him 

and he shot Joey a sharp look. "No coming until I say 
you can." How long had it been since he'd said those 
words? Far too fucking long. 

Joey's moan was sweet as honey. "Or what?" 
"Or you won't come again until Christmas Day." A 

nice little ring holding back Joey's come... Of course 
he'd have to shave the man first. Oh, there was so much 
to look forward to -- it seemed like everything was 
brand new again. 

Grady could suddenly smell his boy -- male and 

strong. Oh, fuck. Fuck, he'd missed that. He hadn't even 
known it was gone. 

Despite his vow to drive safely, he got them home in 

record time. They pulled up into the driveway and he 
undid his seat belt, was out of the car almost before it 
had stopped. In. They needed to be inside. Now. 

Joey grabbed two duffels from the back seat. 

"They're delivering the rest." 

"Great. Inside. Come on, boy. No dawdling." He 

unlocked the door and held it open for the fucking stud 
in jeans and a t-shirt. He might have been vibrating with 
eagerness. 

"You haven't decorated?" Joey stomped up the stairs, 

and Grady could see the flat belly rippling. 

Christmas Homecoming - 11

"I wasn't feeling terribly festive." He hadn't even 

gotten out the boxes from the attic. He licked his lips, 
letting Joey go in before him so he could get a look at 
that backside. "We'll do it together." Tight, hard -- that 
ass was worth writing odes to. 

"That works for me. Later." 
He stepped in and closed the door, barely giving Joey 

enough time to drop his duffel bags before he had that 
ass slammed back against the wall, his mouth landing on 
Joey's like a ton of bricks. 

Oh, fuck. 
Joey. 
Strong hands grabbed his head, Joey's tongue pushing 

into his lips, fucking them good and hard. His own 
hands finally unfisted from Joey's t-shirt and he slid 
them down over that strong chest. Joey'd always been 
well-built, but time away had added muscle. There 
wasn't an ounce of fat on his Marine. Not a bit of 
softness. 

He pressed in close, feeling all that power with his 

own body as his tongue fought with Joey's. He'd been 
right to keep their first kiss for now. He wasn't going to 
be able to stop now that he'd started. 

Joey's hand slipped down, tearing at his buttons. 

"Now. Need you. Now, man." 

"Pushy boy." He growled the words out, but the truth 

was that he wasn't any more interested in waiting than 
Joey was. "Gets yours off and face the fucking wall." 

Joey nodded, but just kept stripping him down, hands 

rough on his skin. Deciding they'd sort it all out later, he 
pulled open Joey's jeans, began shoving them down the 
strong thighs. "You've earned a punishment, boy." 

"Good. I want your fucking cock. Now." 
"Turn around and face the wall, boy, like I told you. 

I'm going to fuck your ass. Hard." He didn't have any 

Christmas Homecoming - 12 

background image

fucking lube on him. Or anywhere nearby -- it wasn't 
like he'd needed it lately. 

Joey turned, offered him that tight little ass, that 

amazing back. That fine, hot little body with the plug 
just showing. Fuck, yes. Moaning, he got hold of the end 
of the plug and tugged, pulling it right out. It wasn't a 
large one, just big enough to gently stretch, to keep his 
boy slick. 

Joey arched. "Now. Now, Grady. I need your prick. 

In me." 

He smacked that beautiful ass, just the once, but hard. 

Then he pressed his prick against Joey's slick little hole. 
Joey didn't give him a choice, didn't let him wait, that 
fine ass just took him in one harsh move, down to the 
root. 

"Damn." He rested his forehead against the back of 

Joey's neck, for a moment just feeling his boy tight 
around him. 

"Home." Joey gave a soft sound, almost a sob. 
"Yes. You're here, boy. In my arms. Never letting 

you go again." He pulled out slowly, and then slammed 
back home again. 

Muscles fluttered around his cock, jerking about him, 

the sensation maddening. Groaning, he pulled almost all 
the way out, and then in again. Then he did it again and 
again, his body quickly finding the rhythm it needed. 

"Harder." Joey spread those muscles legs, driving 

onto him like a needy slut. 

He grabbed hold of Joey's thighs and added his 

strength, pulling Joey back as he pressed forward. 

"Yes!" The word was barked out, Joey's hole 

clenching down. "Oh, fuck yes." 

He didn't have any more words of his own, and just 

kept thrusting. He saw his lover move, hand going to 
jack that fat cock off. 

Christmas Homecoming - 13

"No!" He slapped Joey's hand away. "You don't 

touch this without permission again." 

"Need you!" 
"I know what you need." He slammed in, nailing 

Joey's gland. 

The howl he got made him smile, made him do it 

again and again. He kept punching, kept grunting and 
loving on his boy. Finally, he wrapped his hand around 
Joey's cock. It was his turn to cry out, as Joey's ass 
snapped tight around him, muscles milking him. 

"Love." He jacked Joey in time to his thrusts. 
"Yes. Yes. Yes..." Joey groaned, prick throbbing in 

his hand. "Soon." 

"Yes. Together. Wait for me." 
"Together..." Joey nodded, gulping in air as their 

bodies slapped together. Grady knew every inch of his 
lover, knew when Joey could hold on, when he couldn't. 

And he knew they both wanted to get off badly right 

now. 

"Now," the word growled from him as he slammed in 

hard. 

Joey's answer was a grunt, that ass like a glove as 

heat poured over Grady's hand. He let himself go, let 
Joey's body pull his orgasm out of him. He filled his boy 
with his spunk. 

They stood there, breathing together, panting hard. 
He pressed a kiss to Joey's neck, licked that lovely 

skin. "Welcome home, boy." 

"Thanks." Joey sighed softly, body shivering around 

him. 

He slowly let go of Joey's prick, his own sliding out 

of Joey's body. "You need a shower, babe? Dinner?" 

"I... I don't know." Joey gave a weak chuckle. "This 

is the farthest I planned." 

Christmas Homecoming - 14

"You planned me fucking you up against the wall in 

our hallway, did you?" He turned Joey, grinning into his 
lover's face. 

"I planned on that smile." Joey leaned into him, teeth 

tugging his bottom lip playfully. "I've never been a 
civilian before." 

"You're not just a civilian. You're my boy." 
"Maybe..." Joey teased. 
Grady laughed. "Don't make me beat you." Like that 

wasn't exactly what they both wanted, needed. 

"You sure you still have it in you, man?" Joey 

nudged him. "I'm going to clean up." 

"Oh, you brat." He laughed and grabbed Joey's hand, 

dragged him toward the bedroom. 

"You're not pissed, are you? About me tricking you?" 
He shook his head, how could he be upset with 

having Joey home again? "No, it was a wonderful 
surprise. I've missed you so much." 

"I was afraid something would fuck it up. Up until 

this morning when I got on the fucking flight home." 
Someone was tense, stressed out. Cursing like a... 
Marine. 

"And you're here now and I know what you need." 
Those blue eyes found him, the look vulnerable. 

"Yeah?" 

"Yes, Joey. I know what you need and I'm going to 

make sure you know you're home." 

His boy didn't answer, but he felt the tremor, felt the 

way goosebumps drew up on Joey's skin. He drew his 
lover into the bedroom. He'd cleaned up this morning, 
changed the sheets, left the windows open to keep the 
room fresh. 

"On the bed, ass up," he ordered. 
"I need to clean up." 

Christmas Homecoming - 15

Grady smiled. God, he loved the fight. "We'll get to 

that. You need to get on the bed, ass up, first." His hand 
was itching to get to it. 

"I said I need..." 
His hand flew, slapping Joey's ass hard. "Now, boy. 

That's an order." 

"Yes, Sir." 
"Better." 
He stripped off the rest of his clothing as Joey 

climbed onto their bed. Their bed. That's what it was 
again. Theirs. 

He admired the long lines, the strong muscles. The 

Corps tattoo... Oh! Oh, he could get his boy inked now, 
pierced. Marked. "I'm going to make you mine, boy. I'm 
going to decorate you and make sure everyone knows 
you're mine." 

"What?" That swollen, wet little hole jerked. 
"Tattoos, piercings. Your body is all mine now." He 

rubbed Joey's ass and then let his hand fly. 

"Oh, fuck..." Joey groaned the word and he hit again. 
"No cursing, boy." 
"No fucking way." 
He hit harder this time. "You heard me." 
"Oh, shit. Stings. I need to clean up, man." 
"You need to remember how to be my boy." Grady 

swatted Joey's ass a few more times. 

He let one hand rest in the small of Joey's back as he 

warmed the tight ass. He kept talking, making sure Joey 
knew exactly who was giving him this spanking. 
Eventually Joey was moving, rocking back into the 
blows, body flushing with heat. 

"That's my boy. Your body remembers, your body 

knows." 

"Missed you." That was the fucking understatement 

of the year. 

Christmas Homecoming - 16

"I know. Like a hole inside." He could totally relate. 
"Yeah. Yeah. Tell me this is real." 
"This is absolutely real." He smacked Joey's ass 

again, then squeezed one red cheek. 

"Fucking tell me again." 
"Real." He grabbed Joey's balls and tugged on them. 

"Real." He tweaked one of Joey's nipples. 

His boy twisted away from him, then pushed back in 

toward him. "Yes." 

"Real." He grabbed Joey's prick and squeezed hard. 
"Yours. Yours." Joey spun around, grabbed him, 

kissed him almost viciously. 

He pressed Joey back onto the bed, kissing just hard. 

He was the Top. He was the Dom. They'd already 
established this four years ago. It sure was fun to remind 
Joey, though. 

When the kiss was over, he bit at Joey's lower lip. 

"Now we need to get you cleaned up." He patted Joey's 
hip. 

"We?" Joey took his right hand, held it. 
"You're not on your own anymore, babe. You and 

me. A team again." He tweaked Joey's right nipple. 

"Hey..." Joey swallowed hard, nodded. "It'll take a 

few days, to sink in." 

"I know. I can scarcely believe you're here myself." 

He patted Joey's hip. "And I'll help you settle back in. 
Trust me." 

"I do." Joey kissed him again, grinned. "Honest." 

He reached with his free hand and rubbed Joey's ass, 

feeling the heat against his palm. 

"Let's go get you cleaned up and then we can start 

working on making you feel at home again."

Christmas Homecoming - 17

Three thirty a.m. rolled around and Joey was up. 

Sleep was a rare commodity these days, even as hard as 
Grady had worked him. He slipped out of bed, did PT 
for an hour, then slipped into the shower with a cup of 
coffee. 

He needed to talk to Grady about what the man 

wanted him to do with his stuff. It was a little weird, 
acting like he was moving here. They'd talked about it, 
sure, but reality was always different than plans. 

He let the hot water beat down on him, hand curling 

around his cock as he jacked himself, looking for a little 
release, a little relaxation. 

"I didn't give you permission to touch yourself, boy." 

Grady's voice startled the shit out of him. 

He jumped, hand gripping his cock hard. "Fuck, 

man!" 

"Sure. If you ask nicely. But first your punishment 

for touching yourself." 

"Why are you up? It's early!" Could he distract Grady 

from the punishment? At least the man seemed to have 
forgotten the no cursing rule, the keep yourself shaved 
for me rule. 

"The bed was empty." Grady climbed into the 

shower. "Why are you up so early?" 

"Can't sleep. Worked out, did some shit." 
God, Grady was a stud. The man was pure liquid sex 

-- dark and stacked with a blinding white smile. 

That smile turned wicked. "You should have woken 

me." 

He shrugged, but smiled. "Maybe next time I will." 
Grady reached out and tweaked a nipple. "These 

seem awfully bare." Then that hand moved down to card 
through his curls. "This doesn't seem bare enough." 

Christmas Homecoming - 18

All Joey could do was chuckle, push into Grady's 

arms. Grady's mouth covered his, swallowing his 
chuckle right up. Grady's tongue fucked his lips, pushing 
hard, fast, devouring him. The fingers at his pubes 
tugged, pulling hard enough to sting. 

"I'm gonna watch you shave this off." 
He groaned, shook his head. "Maybe I'll grow it 

forever." 

Grady chuckled. "You think it'll keep growing and 

we can braid it? We're not going to find out. You're 
shaving it now." 

He opened his mouth, but Grady handed him the 

clippers. 

"Snip them down and then I'll soap them up for you 

to shave." Grady's eyes were shining. "It's happening, 
babe, so just do it." 

"Perv." The sound of the clippers made his cock jerk, 

made him remember the first time Grady asked him to 
do this, even before there was a rule. 

"I am." He got another grin from Grady, then his 

master's attention focused on his genitals. 

He trimmed a line from the top, enough that he could 

barely tell, then took another line. 

"Tease," accused Grady. 
"You make me crazy." And hard. Hungry. Aching. 
"You've missed me, huh?" 
"Every day." He'd done his duty, proudly, but... He 

didn't want to think about that right now. 

"Good. Keep shaving, babe." 
He kept going, his prick aching with the vibrations, 

with the way Grady watched. 

As soon as he was done, Grady passed him the razor 

and then the man soaped up his hands. Then those 
knowing fingers moved over the short hairs left behind. 
That was his cue and Joey shaved himself quickly,

making sure to shave his balls, his hands shaking at the 
end. 

Grady's hands wrapped around his, stilling them, 

taking the razor from him. "You'll keep this area shaved 
from now on, hmm?" 

His belly went tight, hard as rock. "Yes, Sir." 
"Good." Grady's fingers slid across his abs, and then 

down. "So soft." 

He groaned softly, moved into the touch. Maybe that 

was his punishment for jacking off. Maybe not. Grady 
tapped the skin next, fingers snapping on it. He backed 
away, murmuring under his breath, cussing at the sting. 

Grady looked at him, wicked grin on the loved face. 

"What was that?" 

"What?" Last night Grady had been shocked, 

surprised. Today, his Dom was awake, ready, wanting to 
push. 

"I didn't hear what you said." 
"I said that fucking stings." He wasn't going to 

fucking back down. 

"Of course it stings. That's the point." Grady snapped 

his skin again with those clever fingers. "And you're not 
supposed to be cursing." 

"Hate that fucking rule." Actually he loved it, a little 

bit, privately. It let him beg for attention without using 
so many words. 

"I'll give you that one, but you swear again and I'll 

have to punish you." Grady looked eager. 

"Always threatening to punish me." He leaned in, 

took a hard, biting kiss. 

"You think I won't?" 
"I'm fucking tired of thinking, Grady. Of being on 

fucking alert." 

Christmas Homecoming - 20

Grady's low growl was the only warning he got 

before he was spun around and pressed up against the 
tile, two hard swats hitting his already red ass. 

"Shit! Shit, you asshole!" 
Three more swats landed without comment. 
"Fuck!" Joey threw his head back, snarled. 
"That's it. You're getting stuffed and ringed and I'm 

not going to let you come until later. Much later." 

"No. No way." God, yes. 
"That's not for you to say." Grady turned off the 

shower and manhandled him out. 

"I was taking a shower!" It was just dawn, the sun 

just coming up. 

"You're clean." Grady passed a towel over him 

briefly. "And now you're dry." 

"And you're pushy." And beautiful and the hottest 

son of a bitch ever. 

"That's why you love me, Joey." Grady gave him a 

wink and grabbed his hand, dragging him toward the 
bedroom. 

He went, his breath catching in his chest, just a bit. 

Home. He was home. 

"On the bed. And if you're not there, ass up for me, in 

ten seconds, I'm cuffing you to the headboard." 

"Fuck off, man. I don't have to take orders anymore." 

He met Grady's eyes, begging the man to hear him, to 
help him. To be what he needed. 

"I'm not tossing off orders, here. This is your master, 

telling you what to do. No one is going to make you 
pushups if you decide not to." Grady raised an eyebrow. 
"That gorgeous ass of yours is going to suffer, though." 

His cock jerked, so hard it hurt. His lips opened, but 

no words came out. 

"You've got five seconds left, boy." 

Christmas Homecoming - 21

He wanted the cuffs, needed them, so he stood, 

holding Grady's gaze. 

His master didn't back down for a second. "Cuffs it 

is." Grady pushed forward, forcing him back toward the 
bed. 

Grady had to work for it, but the man got him down, 

got a heavy, stiff leather cuff around his wrist. Pushing 
him onto his back, Grady straddled him and got the 
matching cuff on his other wrist. Grady's cock was a hot, 
hard brand against his chest. 

"Sir." He loved this man, adored him. 
"I've got you, Joey." The cuffs were locked together 

around the headboard. 

"I'm tired, you know? I haven't slept well in so 

fucking long." 

"You're home now. We'll get you back into rhythm." 
"You think so?" It was easier to talk, cuffed. 
"I know so." Grady was always so sure. It was sexy, 

and comforting. 

"What happens next?" 
"I plug you, I put a ring on your cock, and then you 

suck mine." So sure and so matter of fact. 

"I need a big one. I want to feel it." 
"Such a greedy slut." Grady bent and kissed him, 

fucking his lips. 

He moaned, opened up, hips fucking the air. Maybe 

he could come, once, before the ring. Grady reached 
back and grabbed his nuts, squeezing lightly. Oh, fuck. 
No. No. He grunted, thighs spreading wide. 

Grady broke the kiss and smiled at him. "No 

coming." 

"Evil bastard." 
"You can't do the time, don't do the crime." Grady 

winked and shifted, moving down his body to settled 

Christmas Homecoming - 22

between his legs. "Plug and then ring, or ring and then 
plug?" 

"Plug and then ring." He loved assplay. Got off on it. 
Grady laughed and shook his head. "You're already 

being punished, let's not add coming without permission 
to the mix. We'll do the ring first." 

He stuck his tongue out at Grady, but winked, 

relaxing into the knowledge that the man had his 
number. Grady swooped in for another kiss, and then 
slid out of the bed for a moment, coming back with a 
ring and a large plug. 

It had been a long time since he'd seen any sexual 

toys. Since the last time he'd been home on leave. 

Grady stopped at the side of the bed and stared down 

at him. "Oh, look at you." 

"Still hot enough for you?" He knew he was. He 

worked hard to make sure Grady waited for him. 

"Almost too hot." Grady licked his lips. "And it's 

been too long since you were in my bed. Our bed." 

"Yeah." He spread his legs, making his offer as clear 

as glass. 

"Fuck, that's the hottest thing I've seen yet." Grady 

finally climbed up onto the bed, putting the plug down 
and keeping the ring in his hand. Damn it. No fair. Joey 
wanted that plug. Needed it. 

Grady wrapped one hand around his prick, jacking 

him easily, thumb pressing against his slit every time it 
passed. Fuck, yes. He groaned, hips pushing up toward 
that touch. 

"Just need to make sure you're good and hard before 

we get the ring on." Grady kept working his cock, the 
leather of the cock-ring sliding over his skin, around his 
balls. 

"Need you, man. Fucking dreamed about you." 

Christmas Homecoming - 23 

background image

"Yes. I had the same dreams." The leather tightened 

around his balls, and then around the base of his prick. 

He grunted low, feeling the pressure deep in the pit of 

his belly. Everything got a little tighter, the snap that 
followed, the sound of the ring being locked in place, 
was loud. Grady's satisfied hum was louder. 

"Aches." So good. 
"I know. You've missed this ache, dreamed of it as 

many times as you dreamed of me." Grady patted his 
ball sac. 

His knees drew up, his body burning. 
"Oh, needy, needy boy." Grady patted his ass this 

time, then slid a finger along his hole, nail scraping the 
tiniest bit. 

"You know I need you. Always." 
"It's easy to forget when you're halfway around the 

world." 

Grady's finger dipped into him, the slight burn 

perfect. Joey bore down, took that finger, needing. A 
second one pushed in, Grady still not using the lube --
making him feel it. Yeah. Fuck yeah. Please. That burn 
and scrape was perfect. Those fingers pushed deeper, all 
the way in. Then Grady bent them just a bit, lighting up 
his gland. 

"Fucking Christ! Yes!" 
Grady yanked out his fingers and smacked his ass. 
"Grady!" Oh fuck, he needed. 
"No swearing, boy." Grady swatted him again and 

then leaned over him to grab the tube of lube from in the 
bedside table drawer. 

Making him wait. Asshole. Bastard. Motherfucker. 

Beautiful, vicious man. 

Grady's smile said he knew exactly what Joey was 

thinking, too. 

Christmas Homecoming - 24

Then those fingers were back, three of them this time, 

slick and sure, pushing into him. Grady insisted he open 
up to the invasion, and he did. He rocked down, riding 
the touch. 

"So eager. As eager as I remembered." Grady's grin 

was fierce. "I worried I'd imagined it." 

"No. No, you didn't. Touch me. God, your hands." 

That touch. 

"I'm touching." Grady put a fourth finger in, 

stretching him. 

"Oh. Oh, f..." Those fingers twisted and his eyes 

rolled back in his head. 

"Now do you feel me?" 
"Yes. Yes, Grady. Feel you." 
"Good." Grady's fingers pushed deep, hitting his 

gland hard. 

"Shit..." He cried out, hips punching up as need 

flooded him. 

Grady smacked his ass with the free hand. "No 

cursing." 

"No cursing. More. Need you. Grady..." He needed to 

come. 

"Mmm. I know. And I'm right here." Grady's fingers 

slid slowly out of him. 

"No..." His body arched, fighting to keep those 

fingers inside. 

"The plug will fill you." 
"I want you, damn it." His hole jerked, tightened. 
"I'll fuck you. Eventually." Grady picked up a huge 

plug. "First I want your mouth." 

God, look at that. Look at that fat, thick, heavy thing. 

So big. Grady made a show of slicking the plug up, hand 
moving over it, showing it from every angle. Joey 
whimpered, bit his lips to stop the noise. 

Christmas Homecoming - 25 

background image

"Don't hide from me, boy. You have a reaction --

don't keep it from me." 

He didn't know what to do, how to respond. Grady 

placed the plug at his hole, and then met his gaze, 
holding it. 

"What do you want?" he asked, panting softly. 
"To make you crazy with pleasure." 
"Kiss me? Please?" He needed that connection. 
Grady smiled, moving slowly until their lips met. The 

touch was light, almost teasing. Then the plug pushed in 
and Grady's kiss got hard. It didn't matter. All that 
mattered was the way they touched -- that the burn and 
stretch felt so good, tasted so right. 

Grady kissed him the whole time the plug pushed in 

and in, kissed him as it filled him and was seated in 
deep. 

Loud, desperate sounds escaped him, pushed into 

Grady's lips. Grady took them all, each sound, 
swallowed them down. Joey rocked down on the plug, 
moving it inside him as his ass worked the plastic. 

Their lips parted, Grady staring down at him. "You 

want my cock, boy?" 

"Fuck, yes. Need it." 
"Good. Because I want your mouth." 
"Come take it, then. I'm right here." 
"Pushy boy." Like Grady didn't love it when he 

pushed. 

"Because I want you? Your cock? Your fucking 

come?" 

"Because you want it on your timetable." Grady gave 

him a wink. 

Then the man began to climb slowly up him, 

straddling his chest. He could smell Grady, could see the 
heavy curls above that fat, thick cock. Grady painted 

Christmas Homecoming - 26

Joey's lips with the tip of that amazing cock, not letting 
him have it between his lips yet. 

He opened up, managing to slap the wet tip with his 

tongue, gathering some salt. 

"Mmm." Grady gave him a low moan and pushed 

forward, prick sliding into his mouth. 

Joey wrapped his lips around the thick shaft, started 

sucking hard. His. His lover. His Grady. His man. 

"Oh, fuck!" Groaning, Grady pushed in deeper. 
Joey wrapped his fingers around the chain of the 

cuffs, using the leverage to move himself. 

"That's it, boy. Take me in." Gray pushed even 

deeper. 

Every inch. All of him. Joey sucked harder, his eyes 

crossing with the effort. Grady pulled back, cock sliding 
almost out of his mouth before rocking back in. Joey 
swallowed hard around the tip, pulling that salt into him. 

"Oh, my stunning, greedy boy." Grady moved faster, 

pushing into his lips. 

He felt his cheeks heat, his body reacting, hungry for 

more. Grady rocked, sliding in and out of his mouth. His 
master's eyes never left his face. He slapped the shaft, 
teased with his teeth. 

"You haven't forgotten how to do this." Grady 

grinned wildly down at him. 

God, no. He was good at this. 
Moving faster, harder, Grady really began to get into 

it, making him work for it. He curled his legs up, 
pushing his bent knees into the small of Grady's back, 
keeping that prick deep. 

Grady's eyes widened. Fuck, yeah. Years of 

abdominal work put to use. 

"Brat." There was no heat behind the word, though, 

and Grady didn't tell him to stop. 

Christmas Homecoming - 27 

background image

He rolled, sucking hard, swallowing as he moved his 

legs, encouraging Grady to move, too. Move Grady did, 
rocking into him, harder and harder. Every thrust in, his 
throat clenched, his body shivered. 

"Yes. Yes, Joey. So good." The praise made it better, 

made it that much harder. 

"Soon," Grady promised, thrusting harder, really 

pushing deep every time. 

Soon. Soon. His cock ached, throbbed against the 

bonds. Grady's cock pushed deep into his throat, and 
then Grady was coming. 

Joey swallowed hard, hips fucking the air, ass 

working the plug. 

Grady stayed deep in his throat until he'd shuddered 

through his orgasm, and then slid away. Seconds later, 
Joey's mouth was covered, Grady tongue-fucking his 
lips. He bucked up, rubbing himself frantically against 
his lover. 

"No coming," growled Grady before biting his lower 

lip. 

"I need." And fuck, it felt good. 
"I know. You can need for a while longer." Grady 

licked a path along his jaw and then down his neck. 
"When you get to come, it'll be on my cock." 

"Oh." The single word was gasped, his skin tingling 

as Grady nuzzled his throat. 

Grady used his teeth, then soothed the scrape with 

more tongue. Then one hand slid down to play with his 
right nipple. Joey pulled at the cuffs, wanting to touch 
back, to have some control over this. Grady pinched his 
nipple, hard. 

"Don't. Let me loose now." 
"Oh, no. Not yet. After I've had you." Grady shifted 

down his body, and then his mouth latched around 
Joey's nipple, tongue flicking rapidly across it. 

Christmas Homecoming - 28

"No. No, it's too much. Just... Fuck!" Suddenly it was 

huge, overwhelming. Home. He was fucking home. 

Grady bit down hard on his nipple. "That's another 

spanking for you." 

Joey screamed, cursing violently, opening his hands 

as he released control. 

"Another spanking before you get to come." Grady 

moved over to his other nipple, licking it gently, almost 
teasing. 

"You bastard!" He gulped in air, body covered in a 

cold sweat. 

"Shh. That's not how you really feel." The tip of his 

left nipple was bitten, and then the whole thing sucked 
into Grady's mouth. 

Hard and soft, sharp and smooth, Grady worked his 

nipple with contrasting sensations. 

"I'm home." Joey growled the words out, making 

them real. 

Grady hummed and nodded with his nipple still 

between tight lips. He gulped in a few breaths. Home. 
Home. Grady's mouth left his nipple and kept moving 
down, playing with his navel before tracing his abs. His 
muscles jerked and danced, responding to that touch. 

Grady explored him with that hot tongue, wetting and 

warming his skin at the same time. His cock was skirted, 
Grady making for his right hip. Joey's body began to 
melt, to relax, to ease into the mattress, desire becoming 
something manageable again. 

When Grady was finished exploring his chest, a sharp 

smack hit his thigh. "Legs up in the air so I can spank 
that sexy ass of yours." 

Joey growled softly, turned his face into his upper 

arm. 

Grady smacked his thigh again. "Now, boy." 
"Fuck..." That was asking so fucking much. 

Christmas Homecoming - 29 

background image

Grady's hands slid from his ankles up along his 

calves; it was clear that if he didn't get it done, Grady 
would. 

"I want to get up. Take a run. Clear my head." 
"Too bad. You're going to raise your legs, get 

spanked, get fucked and come like a ton of bricks." 
Grady gave him a wicked grin. "Welcome home, baby." 

He flipped Grady off, going for playful. Grady 

laughed and pushed his legs up, rolling his ass off the 
mattress. His muscles clenched, but it didn't matter. 
Grady was strong, Grady had him. 

The first hit landed hard, and so did the second. His 

legs bent, pushing against Grady, fighting him. Grady 
pushed back, the next two swats even harder. 

"Let me up!" He arched, coming up on his shoulders. 
Grady smacked his ass again. "Take your 

punishment, Joey." 

"No!" Every smack jostled the plug inside him. 
"Yes. Yes. Yes." Each word came with a smack. His 

ass burned, his legs ached. He was going to scream with 
it. "No more swearing." Two more swats hit him, and 
then Grady let his legs go. 

He hid his face, gulping in air, trying not to lose his 

shit. 

Grady pinched one of his nipples. "Look at me, boy." 
"You're always pushing." 
"It's who I am." 
He looked at Grady as soon as his panic faded. 
"And what you need." 
He nodded. "What we need." 
A soft pat landed on his hip. "That's right." 
He needed connection, now, touch, and Grady gave it 

to him, hands moving over his skin, caressing every 
inch. Grady spread his legs wide, settling between them

as he continued to touch, continued to ground him, tell 
him the truth of him being home. 

Eventually it worked and he could breathe again, 

focus on how fucking good it felt, how his ass felt a 
little swollen, a little too sensitive on the sheets. 

"Ready for me now?" Grady's fingers played with the 

plug inside him, twisting it, tugging it partway out. 

"Yes, Sir. Please. I want to feel you everywhere." 
"I like the sound of that." Grady played with the plug 

a little more, moving it in and out, twisting it, setting all 
his nerves on fire. 

His arousal started to build again, the ring trapping 

his cock and balls making him ache. Grady bent and 
licked the drops of pre-come from the tip of his prick 
just before he pulled the plug right out. 

"Oh!" Joey's body snapped closed, the sudden 

emptiness shocking. 

"Mmm. It's me now, babe. Just hold on." The heat of 

Grady's prick was amazing as it pushed against his hole. 

Joey closed his eyes, let himself simply feel the push, 

the stretch, the vague burn. The warmth. 

"Oh, Joey. Joey." Grady groaned, sinking in deep. 
"Yeah." So good. That sweet prick was so good. 
Grady brought their mouths together, kissing him as 

Grady's hairy thighs rested against his ass, making it 
burn. 

He rocked, riding the touches, sliding his ass on 

Grady's prick. Grady moved with him, slowly picking 
up their speed. His master kissed and touched him, 
making it about more than just ass and cock. 

A laugh built inside him, deep and low, pure joy that 

wouldn't be held in. Grady smiled at him and moved 
faster, harder. 

"Yes." He nodded, added his strength to the motions, 

drove himself down. 

Christmas Homecoming - 31 

background image

Every time Grady's thighs smacked into his ass, it 

brought a flash of pain, which drove him even higher. 
His abs were burning, screaming at him, but he couldn't 
stop. His balls needed him to move. 

After what might have been hours, or only minutes, 

Grady's hand pushed between them. "Get ready, Joey." 

"Ready." He was born ready. 
He felt Grady's fingers slide on his flesh, and then the 

snap was undone, the leather falling away. 

"Come for me." 
He sucked in a deep breath, willed his body to relax, 

to melt, but he couldn't. His fucking body wouldn't. 
Grady shifted, finding his gland and knocking it hard. 

He grunted, eyes crossing. "Please!" 
Wrapping a strong hand around his prick, Grady 

worked his gland and his tip together. A wild scream 
tore from him, and finally -- blessedly -- he came. 
Grady's cry met his scream, hips pumping like mad as 
Grady filled him with spunk. The whole fucking world 
spun, went gray around the edges. 

Grady pressed down against him, nuzzling into his 

neck. He held on, sucking in one breath after another, 
suddenly exhausted. 

"Welcome home, Joey." Grady kissed him again 

before leaving his body and sliding next to him. He 
almost missed Grady releasing his wrists and massaging 
them. 

Joey pushed close, got settled. "Need to sleep now." 
"Yeah. Love you." Grady kissed the top of his head. 
"Love." He let himself sleep, rest hard. Grady would 

be there when he woke up.

Christmas Homecoming - 32

Grady cooked a huge breakfast. Bruch, really. Eggs, 

bacon, ham, toast, and two steaming mugs of coffee. Of 
course, now that he'd tired Joey out enough to actually 
sleep, it looked like his lover was going to nap the day 
away. 

Joey was curled in the blankets, arms over his head. 

It made Grady hum happily, to see his boy like that. 

He headed deeper into the bedroom to wake Joey up 

when a car backfired outside and Joey shot up out of 
bed, snapping, "Incoming. Move, Marines!" 

"Stand down, soldier. You're home." He went to the 

bed, touching Joey's arm, giving his boy his touch as 
well as his voice. 

They'd gone through this, more than once, and he met 

Joey's eyes, smiled, refusing to let any of the regret that 
anyone had to live in that kind of high alert show. His 
job was to be confident, sure, steady. 

Sure enough, Joey blinked once, then took a deep 

breath. "Yeah. Sorry. Hey." 

He let his smile deepen, brighten, and touched Joey's 

cheek, stroking it. "Good morning, boy." 

"Is it? Still morning?" Joey leaned into his touch, 

hands sliding around his waist. "Do I smell bacon?" 

"Well, no, it's afternoon, but we're going to have 

breakfast, so... And yes." He chuckled. "You smell 
bacon. I made ham, too. And eggs. Coffee." 

"Oh, God. You made eggs?" Joey's grin made him a 

little stupid. His boy loved how he cooked eggs. It was 
silly, a little ridiculous, and made Grady feel a million 
feet tall. 

"Of course I made you eggs." He leaned in to taste 

that happy smile. 

"You rock. Thank you." Joey winked at him. "We 

have a busy day ahead of us, Grady. Let's eat!" 

Christmas Homecoming - 33

"A busy day?" He raised an eyebrow as he admired 

Joey's body. 

"Yes." Joey turned, grabbed a pair of sweats. "We need 
a tree. Lights. Possibly a light-up Santa that moves." 

"A light up Santa that moves?" He shook his head as 

they made their way back to the kitchen together. 
"You're planning on making our house as tacky as 
possible, aren't you?" 

"You know it. Get a move on." Someone had gotten 

enough rest to give orders. 

"I'm not the one who slept the day away," Grady 

noted, chuckling. 

"I was awake earlier. You tempted me back to bed." 
He snorted. "Four am is not morning. That didn't 

count." 

"Did too." Joey headed for the coffee pot. 
"That's still the middle of the night." Grady grabbed a 

couple of oven mitts and pulled their breakfast plates out 
of the oven, setting them on the little table in the 
breakfast nook. 

"Nope. I was up at four a.m. a lot. Looks great. You 

want coffee?" 

"I do want coffee. And now that you're home? Four 

a.m. is not morning." He gave Joey a wink and grabbed 
his fork. 

"Uh-huh. What if I get a job that starts early?" 
"No four a.m. jobs. That's inhuman." 
Joey shrugged. "I'll have to see what I can find. Lots 

of my squad re-upped because the economy was so 
tight. I wanted to come home." 

"You needed to come home." He needed Joey to be 

home. "We should talk to Oliver, see if anyone at the 
club has work going." 

Christmas Homecoming - 34

"Maybe. I don't know. I mean, do they make jobs for 

people like me?" 

"People like you?" He raised an eyebrow, eggs 

halfway to his mouth. 

"Well, I mean, I have my degree in history, eight 

years of service. Nothing worthwhile." 

He would not hear anyone put down his boy, not 

even Joey himself. "Eight years of service -- that's a 
fantastic resume, babe." 

"To do what? I'm going to have to think about this." 
"You know you don't need to find a job tomorrow, 

right?" Joey was barely even home. 

"I know. Tomorrow's Christmas Eve." 
"So you'll wait 'til the new year to worry about it?" 
"I'll try." Joey's lips twisted. "It's a little unnerving." 
"Tell me you have no money in your savings account, 

and you don't have a lover who has a place for you." 

"I have a lot of money. You know that. I just..." Joey 

shrugged. "A man needs a job. Needs to work." 

"So you look for a job. You don't need to stress it, 

though. Especially not in the first few days you're 
home." He'd tie Joey up and fuck him blind again if he 
had to. Like it was a hardship. He'd do it anyway. 

"Right. Today I'm decorating your house. Tomorrow 

we have to figure out what we're eating for Christmas. 
And presents. I have to find you something that's not 
from the Duty Free Store at the airport. And I need to do 
laundry." 

"Listen to you -- laundry -- so domestic." It was 

wonderful. 

"My uniforms need it, and I'm out of underwear." 
Somehow Grady thought his life was about to 

become much more organized. 

Christmas Homecoming - 35

"You can go commando. That way when I grab your 

ass in the back corner of a store, it'll almost be like the 
real thing." 

"Uh-huh." Joey was up and cleaning before he was 

half done. He knew his boy ate fast from the military 
life, but it was still unnerving. 

"We have plenty of time before the stores close." 
"Hmm? Time for what?" 
"To do the shopping, to buy decorations. You can 

relax now, Joey. You're home." He got up and pressed 
himself against Joey's back, loving all the hard muscles. 

"Christmas is barreling down on us." 
"And we'll go shopping now, but when we get back, 

I'm having my wicked way with you." 

Joey needed to remember how to relax, how to just 

be. It had been a long time. 

"I want you to have a good Christmas." 
"Joey." He squeezed his lover's waist. "You're home. 

I didn't think I was going to see you before Valentine's 
Day, and it's been nearly two years. And. You. Are. 
Home. That makes this the best Christmas ever. Even if 
we have toast and water as our Christmas dinner." 

"I am. I'm a civilian." Joey leaned back against him. 
"You are. My civilian. My man. My stud. All mine. 

You notice the emphasis there?" He grinned and kissed 
Joey's neck. 

"I could hear it again." 
He was happy to oblige. "My civilian. My man. My 

stud. All mine. My Joey." 

"Yeah." Joey took his hand and brought it to those 

soft lips. "Yours." 

"That's right." He kissed the back of Joey's neck, 

nibbled just below Joey's hairline. 

"I may let it grow out."

"Imagine you with long hair. A braid for me to grab 

onto." Oh, look at his boy blush. "Mmm. I think it's a 
good idea." He rubbed against Joey's back. 

"Do you have other ideas?" 
"Oh, babe, I have all sorts of ideas." He rubbed 

harder, his prick trying to bury itself in Joey's ass 
through layers of clothes. 

"You want me again?" 
"Of course I do. You are always in my heart and 

mind." 

"Silver-tongued devil." 
He laughed and licked at Joey's neck again. 

"Flatterer." 

"You're distracting me." 
"No, that's not it. I would just rather make love to you 

than go shopping. Sue me." 

"I'd rather bend over and let you fuck me until I 

scream." 

"That works for me." He tugged down Joey's 

sweatpants, backed off a couple steps and smacked 
Joey's ass. 

"That's not fucking!" That was two curse words. 
He smacked that ass again. "If you stop cursing, we 

might be able to get to the fucking." 

"I didn't cuss!" 
"You did." He gave Joey another smack for good 

measure, and then grabbed his lover, pushing his upper 
body forward. 

"Did not." Joey spread for him, eager, even though 

Grady knew that sweet hole would be sore. 

"And now you're arguing with your master. You must 

be out of practice." He moved to his knees and licked 
from the top of Joey's crack down to his hole. 

"Oh. Oh, God. Master..."

Grady smiled. Hungry slut. He licked at Joey's hole, 

then palmed Joey's reddened butt and spread the cheeks. 

"Please. Oh, fuck. Dreamed about this. Jacked off 

thinking about your mouth." 

"And I've dreamed about making you crazy doing 

this." He licked almost delicately at that sweet little hole 
a few more times, teasing, knowing Joey craved so 
much more. 

Joey stretched, head resting down on his folded 

hands. 

Humming, Grady licked again and then pointed his 

tongue, pushing just the tip inside Joey's heat. The scent 
of his boy flooded him, made his cock ache, throb. 
Need. He pushed his tongue deeper, taking more of the 
taste in, Joey's ass squeezing his tongue, trying to pull it 
in deeper. Joey started babbling for him, voice husky 
and hoarse, perverse in their bright kitchen. 

He tongue-fucked his boy, letting the sounds of need 

wash over him. No matter how much he might have 
fantasized about this, nothing compared to the reality of 
Joey's taste, of his boy's sounds. And it was going to be 
his, now. Daily. 

He spread Joey wider, pushed his tongue in deeper. 

Just a moment longer and then it would be his prick, 
filling his boy to the hilt. The need rode him hard, made 
his balls ache. 

"Master!" Joey's back arched, thighs tense, taut. 
He scratched Joey's reddened ass lightly. 
"Shit!" Joey stumbled forward, slamming into the 

cabinets. 

"Easy, boy." He stroked those same cheeks, kissed 

each one. He was ready to take his boy now. 

"Need it. God, I need your fucking cock, could ride 

you all fucking day."

"I'm going to take you up on that." He took one last 

swipe at Joey's hole and stood, pulling down his jeans. 

"Now. Now, come on." Pushy! 
He grabbed Joey's ass again, squeezed it, but didn't 

spread the red cheeks yet. 

"That doesn't sound like begging, boy." 
"Fuck me. Hard and deep. Give me your fucking 

prick." Filthy language. 

"I said I wanted begging, boy, not swearing." He 

spanked Joey's ass again. 

Joey pushed back toward him. "I need you." 
"Mmm. That's better. And I need you." He lined up, 

pushing the head of his cock against Joey's hole. Red 
and slick and swollen, that sweet ring kissed the tip of 
his cock. "Oh, fuck. So good." He pushed in, just a bit, 
just to feel that tight heat around him. 

Joey groaned, muscles shuddering. "Burns." 
"Mmm. You're so tight, so hot." He pushed in a little 

deeper. 

Joey nodded, ass jerking around him. 
"All mine." He pushed the rest of the way in, until his 

balls nudged up against Joey's ass. 

"Big. I'm yours. So big." 
He nodded, humming softly. "It's everything, this 

thing between us." He pulled partway out, pushed back 
in again, the heat of Joey's ass like a fire against his hips. 

"Yeah." Joey sighed, relaxed around him. 
Grady leaned his head on Joey's shoulder, his body 

pressed against the muscled back, and he found a 
rhythm. He loved the way Joey moaned for him, one 
sound following the heels of the first. He let his eyes 
close and simply felt and heard and smelled and tasted 
his lover. His Joey. 

They rocked together slowly, moaning together. 
"All day, right boy?"

"Uh-huh. All day. You and me." 
"That's right. God. I love this." So fucking much. 
"I love you." The words were soft, but sure. 
"Yes. Yes, Joey. Love." He kept thrusting, the 

rhythm slow and perfect. 

Joey braced himself on one hand, reached back and 

touched him. 

"Yes. Touch me, Joey." It felt so good. 
"Forever. I swear." 
"Holding you to that." He wasn't letting Joey go 

again. 

He felt Joey's laugh, all through his body, all through 

his cock. God, he loved this man. He held his lover a 
little tighter, rocked into Joey a little harder. 

"Mmmhmm. There. Right there, yeah?" 
"Yeah. I've got you." He nodded, kept his focus on 

giving Joey as much pleasure as he could. This was 
fucking heaven. 

"Oh. Oh, yeah. Love. Right there. Need you so bad." 
He pushed a little harder as he shifted one hand down 

to wrap around Joey's leaking prick. Joey's sharp little 
cry echoed off the backsplash. 

"Yes. Yes." He tugged on Joey's prick, rubbing the 

tip with his thumb, spreading the liquid dripping from 
there. 

"Shit. Gonna be sore..." 
"Don't worry, I'll take care of you." It was, after all, 

half the fun. 

"Yeah." That was a satisfied sound. 
Chuckling, he pumped in, stroked, drove them both 

toward the edge. Joey groaned, pushed back into his 
thrusts. 

"You're allowed to come, boy." He wasn't going to go 

until Joey did. They could do it together. 

"Want to. Want to shoot."

"Then do it. Come for me. Come on my cock, Joey." 
Joey grunted, body taut. "Yes..." 
"Yes. Now!" He slammed into Joey, his whole body 

shuddering as he squeezed his boy's cock. 

Joey's spunk sprayed over his fingers, over his hand. 

He could smell it -- pure Joey. Moaning, he jerked into 
Joey one more time and then filled his boy. 

They leaned together, Joey panting, sweat making 

them slide against each other. 

"Oh, Joey. I've missed this." He chuckled somewhat 

breathlessly. 

"God, yes. Every day, man. Every day. Every time I 

lost a man." 

He hugged Joey tight. "You're home now, no more 

losing people." 

"Yeah. I like that word, home." 
"I like that you're here." He kissed the back of Joey's 

neck one more time as he slipped from Joey's body. 
"Come take a shower with me." 

"Sounds good." Joey stood, back popping. "Thanks 

for breakfast." 

Grady waggled his eyebrows up and down. "Thanks 

for after breakfast." 

"Dork." He got a smile, slow and happy and 

wondering. "It's going to be one hell of a Christmas." 

"It's going to be the best Christmas yet. The first of 

many." 

Their fingers curled together. "Ooh-rah."
