*My heart is here, every beat for you. You're the only one I feel for. *
Sea salt sprayed on my face as the cold September wind blew my hair. The constant humming of the boat's engines and the splashing of the waves hid the turbulent feelings inside me. I closed my eyes, drowning the thoughts screaming inside my head.
I felt warm hands wrapped around my waist, I knew who it was without even having to open my eyes. We took this trip together, our last weekend.
--
It was a cloudy Saturday afternoon when we met, the only type of afternoons when I actually want to get out of the house—not sweltering, not rainy. I planned on finishing a short story I started writing a long time ago in my favorite coffee shop just a few blocks away from my apartment. I was thinking of the story's plot and what coffee I was going to buy when I saw him.
He was on the far end of the coffee shop counter, apparently waiting for his drink. He's a small guy, half a foot shorter than my 5'11", but I liked my guys shorter. He had close-cropped hair framing his angular face, like he was just about to be deployed in the military. He was on his phone as he made his way to a table so he didn't notice me staring at him a bit more than necessary while I was ordering my drink. I noticed him laugh at something he was watching, and he had the most adorable laugh I had ever heard—deep and unbounded. It was a sound I would not mind hearing for the rest of my life.
"Cold brew for Santi!"
I was woken from my thoughts when the barista called me with my drink. I looked around and luckily the cutie's table is the only one not occupied by anyone else. I started making my way to him.
"Is this seat taken?" I asked him. He looked up from his phone, "No, you may have it," he replied, giving a shy smile. I smiled back and sat down.
"I'm Santi by the way," I told him, extending my hand.
"Jeremiah, but you can call me Rem." We shook hands. He returned to his phone, so I decided to get my laptop and start writing.
I was halfway through a paragraph when I noticed him steal a glance at me, I pretended I didn't notice, thinking that it was just a curious look, when he kept looking at me again and again. I caught his gaze and he stared down, abashed. I snickered. Feeling a bit adventurous, I brushed my feet up his leg. He perked up, but didn't pull away. I noticed him smiling at his phone, then slid his gaze to me, pushing his leg against mine under the table. I felt the blood rushing between my legs, which was unfortunate because I was only wearing loose shorts without underwear, not expecting anything sexual to happen during the afternoon.
I packed my things, standing up while covertly hiding my growing erection with my laptop bag. Cutie looked a bit disappointed that I was leaving, but I motioned for him to meet me outside. His eyes twinkled with mischief.
He followed me to my apartment, and the moment I locked the door our hands were all over each other. Like me he was wearing casual clothes—a shirt and shorts, and they were all discarded to the floor in an instant. He dragged me to the bed, as if he owned the house, and pushed me to the mattress, straddling my hips the moment I fell on the bed.
I guess I'm topping tonight,
I thought.
We resumed ravishing each other's bodies, tongues battling, mouths exploring every bare skin, lips grinding while our hard cocks throbbed. He had so much energy for a small guy. I closed my eyes and let him do what he wants with my body. A few minutes later he stopped, I opened my eyes and saw him staring at me intently.
"Hey Santi," he asked, "can I ask for a favor?"
"Uhh, sure?" I didn't hide the confusion from my face.
"Can we pretend that we're lovers?"
It was a weird request. I've definitely heard of lovers role-playing as strangers in bed, but not the other way around, but damn he was hot. If he told me to wear a dog collar while barking I'd do it, or maybe I was just kinky.
"Sure baby," I replied, kissing him.
"I love you," he said.
I cringed inside, it didn't feel right at that moment.
--
"I love you," he said, arms still wrapped around my waist, just the two of us in the boat deck.
"I love you too," I replied, my heart in my throat, nothing even more right than what I said. I felt the sadness start to overwhelm me, but I held it down. I promised I won't be sad for this trip.
"Crew prepare for docking, Puerto Altera in 15 minutes," the captain's voice on the intercom said.
I turned around and looked at him. He was smiling, but there was also sadness in his eyes; he was never good in hiding his emotions. I took his hand, and silently we went back to our cabins, preparing for arrival.
--
We lay in bed, spent from hours of making love, or at least pretend love. I looked at the clock, noting that we do not have much time left. I only had less than an hour remaining to have the house for myself.
"Can I see you again?" he asked, my head on his chest
I straightened up and looked at him in the eye, "Why?" It was a random hookup, after all.
"I like what we did, and I want to do it again with you," he replied. I smirked, he was playful, but I also know how to play the game. Like all games, however, there were rules.
"I have to tell you something though," I started. He raised his eyebrow, "I have a boyfriend," I continued.
He laughed, "I don't mind." I kissed him, he kissed back.
I waved him goodbye a few minutes later, just as he was out of sight my phone rang. It was my boyfriend Mark calling. I picked it up.
"Hey baby, I'm coming home. Got a bit caught up with work, I hope you weren't so lonely while I was gone."
"I'm fine, got myself busy. See you later."
ooOoo
*My heart felt a different kind of love from you, a love that nothing compares to. *
Mark and I have decided to open our relationship, under the condition that the other partner was aware, but I haven't told him about Rem yet. Another condition was that there were to be no strings attached to our other hookups, something I'm trying my best to follow. My situation with Rem was peculiar, however. We met again, and again—stolen car rides and passionate lovemaking when I was alone at home. We pretended that we were a couple whenever it was just the two of us, but there was little to no contact when it wasn't—lovers together, strangers apart.
We found ourselves once again on my bed. Mark was at the gym so I had the house to myself again. Rem came over as soon as he could.
"You make me happy Santi. Let's keep it this way," he said, his body on top of me. I just smiled, pulled his mouth to mine. He rolled me over and kissed his way down my body all the way to my crack. He spread my ass cheeks, kissing them, then my asshole. His tongue licked around my opening. I held the sheets tighter as he started eating my ass.
"Fuck me Rem," I pleaded.
"Wait, I have to prepare you first."
He put lube on his fingers, then place two of them inside me. I moaned into the bed as he slowly worked his fingers in and out of my hole.
"Just fuck me goddammit," I demanded.
He laughed, then squirted lube on his dick. He positioned his cock on my opening, and I pushed my ass to meet him. He gasped as he slowly pushed himself inside me. He stopped when he was fully inside. This wasn't my first time to be fucked, and I'm sure this also wasn't Rem's time to fuck someone, but this was our first time together. His cock felt so warm and hard inside me.
"I'm not gonna go slow Santi, this feels so good."
"Go, fuck me."
He fucked me, spreading my legs apart so he can go deeper. He started slow, deep thrusts, then gained momentum, pounding me again and again. I didn't want him to stop, but I wanted to see his face as he fucked me.
"Stop," I demanded.
"Why?" he asked, breathless, sweat dripping on my body.
"I want to see you fuck me."
He smiled, then turned me around to face him. He placed my legs over his shoulders, then guided himself back to my hole. He looked at me as he slowly fucked me again with his cock, then he kissed me. I moaned into his mouth as he fucked me harder and harder. I wanted him to fuck me forever. I sensed his breath starting to become more tensed, and I touched myself.
