boundaries. The way he had first gotten intimately involved with each of them fit his pattern. With Alek, who’d been a stranger at the time, he’d indulged in some illicit bathroom activity, while with Luka it was a sweaty, dirty tumble in the grass with his brother’s boyfriend, yielding for anything Luka wanted to take. Both times, Evan had consciously played the part of the person being touched, feeding Alek and Luka’s lust for his own pleasures. The submissive nature to Evan’s personality had always yielded to the curiosity of others. In a way, it had made Evan feel like he was doing something wrong or rebellious by letting others touch him like that, which was probably one of the reasons why he was having trouble with guilt over how regularly he had sex with multiple men at once. It spoke of a pattern of behavior that seemed destined to get him in a lot of trouble.
Even with his first sexual encounter with Brennan, it had felt like Evan had been floating above himself, watching major lines get crossed. Why hadn’t he questioned things more? Did it indicate he had unexamined deficiencies? Was there something wrong with him? Did he just not care as much as he should, as Jimmy had always suggested?
When he stepped back to look at the wider picture, he didn’t like what he saw. When he was up close and in it, though, all he wanted was more.
Evan’s reply was all the permission Alek needed. He usually didn’t need much. Freeing his hand of Evan’s pants, Alek grabbed the covers drawn up over him and threw them back. Then, he sat up and drew Evan’s pajama pants down, pulling them off completely, leaving him naked. While Alek tossed the clothing aside, Evan shifted his legs slightly apart, enough so that Alek had room to move to kneel between them. And that’s exactly what he did, hooking his hands around the insides of Evan’s thighs and guiding them widely apart as Evan intentionally pushed his ass up to show he wanted it. As soon as Alek had Evan spread out enough for his liking, his balls hanging heavily between his legs, his ass pulled open, Alek eased himself down atop him and simultaneously fed Evan’s hole two licked-wet fingers. He pushed, parting the muscle and going deep enough to make Evan swallow a moan of pleasure, hiding his face in the pillow.
The lube was in grabbing range. It always was. Alek got the cap open with his teeth while Evan tried to control his breathing, but he was already panting roughly and felt self-conscious about it. Alek nibbled briefly at the spot just beneath Evan’s earlobe. He could feel Alek’s gaze on him, studying Evan’s every reaction and his nude body.
“Love how you still get nervous,” Alek whispered, sending a shiver racing up Evan’s spine. He clenched around the fingers inside him as Alek pulled them slowly out. Once they were wet with the lube, Alek pressed three digits into Evan, staying propped up enough that Evan knew he was watching it happen, fucking Evan with his hand and staring at the sight of it, which only fed Evan’s nerves more. There was just something about Alek that even Luka didn’t have. It had been that way since their first time together in the bathroom of the bar, when Alek touched Evan in ways he’d never been touched, just because he wanted to, just because he could. Alek got off on the shy act, just as he got off on Brennan’s more brazen horniness. Even when Evan pretended to be confident and self-assured, it always seemed to him Alek could tell it was an act, and inside Evan would always be quivering and pure, and Alek would always be violating Evan’s innocence.
When Alek sat up more, spreading Evan’s cheeks with his left hand and working the fingers of his right hand in the clenched ring Luka had so recently rode to completion, Evan felt his face growing hot. He gasped, muffling the sound in the pillow even as he tilted his hips to accept Alek’s fingers on the next shallow push.
