I'm not done with the story, yet, but I've just started formulating the next chapter. We'll see where it leads.

Thomas slowly drifted out of sleep and into consciousness. The first thing he noticed was a sense of calm. His mind was awash in a peaceful bliss, the likes of which he had never felt. He struggled to identify its source. His body also felt as relaxed as he had ever been. He was not even half awake and he couldn't remember where he was. It didn't feel like his own bed.
He thought he remembered a dream. It was much more vivid and detailed than his dreams usually were, at least his memories of his dreams. He had done things in that dream, that he never would have in real life, or so he thought.
As he lay there in semi-consciousness, it registered in his head that he wasn't alone. A warm body pressed into his; a body significantly smaller than his own. His right arm lay around the waist of that body. His face and nose were nuzzled into and being tickled by a head of hair. His legs were entangled with someone else's. His morning wood nestled in a smooth crevice.
His sense of smell awoke next. The soft head of hair that brushed his countenance smelled of strawberries. He inhaled deeply and the next odor he recognized was ... well ... sex. Raw animalistic sex. And dried sweat.
He felt the affects of that sex. His cock was a little sore and achy, but in a good way. He felt dried, crusty semen, everywhere. Beneath his right hand, he also felt something else. He felt a small hard object.
Thomas finally realized where he was. Last night hadn't been a dream. Well, he had had a dream, a dream during which he realized he was gay. And last night he had acted on that dream. And the things he was feeling now, and the smells, were evidence of that.
He opened his eyes and saw the source of his contentment wrapped in his arms. Light was streaming through the windows and he saw the beautiful body that had given him all of that pleasure last night. He couldn't believe his eyes.
His hand had a mind of its own and wrapped around the cock laying beneath it. It was real. His own cock reacted and got even harder when he thought about it. He resisted the urge to just plunge it into the wonderful hole right in front of him. Instead, he just basked in the warm afterglow of a night, the likes of which he never could have imagined just 24 hours ago.
"Ugh." Ashley moaned. He, on the other hand, had no problem recalling the previous night's encounter, immediately upon awakening. He also remembered asking Thomas to stay. This was totally out of character for him, but feeling the warm body spooning him from behind, and feeling the throbbing shaft between his cheeks, and feeling the tenderness with which the hand holding his own morning wood was gently gripping and releasing him, he realized something had changed within him.
This guy had touched a part of him, not in a physical sense, but much deeper.
Ashley rolled over towards Thomas. "Good morning." He leaned towards Thomas. Thomas leaned in at the same time. Both, suddenly realizing they had tremendous morning breath, avoided the other's mouth and kissed each other's cheek. "Gawd! We need showers."
"And toothbrushes." Thomas laughed.
There was a few moments of awkward silence.
"Listen, ..." they both said at the same time.
"Go ahead." Ashley laughed.
"No you first." Thomas insisted.
Ashley hadn't thought of what he really wanted to tell Thomas, of what he wanted to say. He avoided his emotions and deflected. "I was going to say, why don't you go ahead and shower first? There's also a fresh toothbrush in the medicine cabinet." "What were you going to say?"
"I was going to ask what your plans were for the day." Thomas didn't want this short lived relationship to end after they cleaned up. He didn't want these feelings to go away. He wanted to tell Ashley he loved him. But that was ridiculous. It was probably just the sex talking. And the horniness that was growing, along with the penis between his legs. He couldn't be in love. Could he? Also, he couldn't love a man.
Ashley was startled. He tried not to show it, though. But secretly, he didn't want this, whatever it was, to end, either. He was shocked that he felt a connection. He was confused that his normal instincts, which would have been to want this man to get out; out of his bed, out of his house, out of his world. Instead, he said "No plans. What did you have in mind?"
"Well, first, like you said, showers. Then, since it's already late (it was 9:00 am, extremely late by his normal standards), maybe some food? Lunch, or if we get ready quick enough, maybe brunch?"
"That'd be nice." They both skirted what was really on their minds. "I'll throw your clothes in the wash, so you have something fresh to wear."
"How big is your shower?" Thomas raised his eyebrows.
"Hmmmmm. Big enough. I'll get your clothes started. Go ahead and get the water going."
Most of Thomas' clothes were in the living room where they had been thrown about after stripping them off last night. Ashley rose out of the bed and padded off.
Thomas couldn't help but stare at the beautiful, naked body, especially the ass leaving the bedroom. He was shocked at the fact that he was so strongly attracted to another man. But he couldn't deny it. He had denied it all of his life and he was tired of denying it.
Ashley glanced back over his shoulder and caught Thomas' stare and the twinkle in his eyes. He grinned. He had never felt this way. All his life, he had felt unlovable. He had always used sex as an excuse to justify his belief that all guys, straight or gay, were the same. And to be honest, he had enjoyed playing upon the latent homophobia in most straight men. But this felt different. He couldn't figure out this guy.
Ashley streaked about the living room, literally, being that he wasn't wearing any clothes, grabbing up Thomas' clothes, and then to the laundry room, anxious to get back to Thomas.
Thomas was just finishing brushing his teeth when Ashley returned. The shower was going and steam filled the room. Ashley, breathless from running around the house, shook with anticipation seeing Thomas' handsome physique standing in front of the sink.
"Go ahead, and get in. I'll join you in a sec."
Thomas stepped into the modest sized walk-in shower. In a few seconds, after brushing his teeth, Ashley opened the glass door and joined him. A blast of cold air rushed in and Thomas shivered despite the warm water that was spraying his shoulders and back.
Seeing goosebumps on Ashley's skin, thinking they were from the cold air, not realizing they were from Ashley's excitement of being with him, Thomas stepped aside, letting Ashley move under the streaming shower head. Ashley turned and let the water blast his face.
Thomas picked up a wash cloth and held it under the nozzle of the bottle of body wash and pumped a few spurts out. The scent of coconut wafted up. Rather than proceeding to wash his own body, he was compelled to reach out and rub Ashley's back with the sudsy cloth.
"Mmmmmm."
Thomas started with Ashley's shoulders and slowly progressed down his spine. For several minutes, with gentle pressure, he scrubbed Ashley's shoulders, sides and lower back. He then continued down. When he reached the top of Ashley's ass, he hesitated.
Ashley held still, then pushed his ass towards Thomas, slightly. Seeing this as acceptance of what he was doing, Thomas then went for it and ran the cloth over Ashley's butt and between his cheeks, up and in between his legs to his balls, which he washed longer than was truly necessary, rolling them around and massaging them. He then returned to Ashley's ass, pushing the soapy cloth between Ashley's buns with a single finger, swiping his crevice from front to back, washing away the night's lubricant, sweat, and cum.
Ashley moaned, again "mmmmmm."
Thomas put his hands on Ashley's shoulder and gently spun him around. He pumped more of the body wash onto the cloth and proceeded to lavish his attention on Ashley's neck, chest, and stomach. As he went over each of Ashley's nipples many more times than was required, he got "Ooooos and Aaaaaahs". Finally, he dropped the wash cloth to the floor and lowered his hand. With just his soapy hand, he began washing Ashley's dick.
