I applied for the project manager job and Lacey seemed more excited than I was. She's adamant that I'll get the job but I still need to go through an interview first which she says I'll ace. On Wednesday I come home around six o'clock, I feel my stomach gurgle and I walk to my fridge.

Internally I groan because I forgot to do a food shop and I have barely anything to throw together apart from pasta and a bland sauce at the back of the cupboard. My phone vibrates in my pocket and I retrieve it to find Alex's name across the screen, I feel my lips twitch into a smile instantly.

Alex

Hey, what are you doing tonight?

If you're home I've cooked, do you want to come over?

I almost scream with relief and joy. Alex's cooking and his company? The best combination ever.

River

Running as we speak

I don't bother grabbing any of my shit apart from my keys. I walk straight up to his door and knock, merely thirty seconds after I sent back that text. Alex's door opens and he stands there with a black t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms that are far too big for him.

"Hey," I grin.

"Hi," he smiles. "Come in."

On the way past I press a kiss to his forehead and listen as he shuts the door behind me. I inhale a big breath and almost collapse on the floor at the smell of the beautiful food that's cooking on the stove.

"That smells delicious," I groan and pull off my jacket. "You have no idea how hungry I am."

Alex smiles as he walks by me, his hand sliding across my back before he reaches the kitchen. "I'm a mind-reader, you see? I just knew you'd come home from work and be dying for a good meal."

Why does he have to make that sound sexual? Or maybe I've just missed him.

I join him by the stove and look down at the noodles, chicken, prawns and vegetables all mixed together in the pan. "Stir fry," I state.

Alex laughs gently. "Yeah, stir fry. It's almost ready."

My hands rub together in excitement. "How was your day?" I ask as I lean onto the counter.

"It was okay," he sighs and uses the spatula to push our dinner around the pan. "William is still worried about me, I'm making mistakes here and there. Guess my mind isn't one hundred percent."

I walk up behind him and kiss the back of his head soothingly. "It's going to take time," I reassure him. "But you've been doing so well with your counselling and the homework he's set for you."

Alex hums in agreement. "Yeah but I'm just a bit lost right now."

My eyes flutter shut and I wrap my arms around him gently, being careful of the steaming food in front of us. "You're bound to be, and that's okay. The court date is soon, I bet that's been in the back of your mind."

"It has," he says instantly. "It's been paralysing me if anything."

"Liam will get his justice," I say with confidence. "So will you and your dad. They won't get away with this when there is so much evidence now. They're going to pay for what they've caused, Alex."

He twists in my hold and glances up at me. "Thank you for being there for me," he says gently. His hand presses to my chest, my heart thumping beneath his palm. "I know I've not been great company recently."

"What do you mean?" I furrow my brows at him. "You've been great company, I love being around you. I love making you smile. I love eating your delicious food you make me for dinner."

The corner of his mouth cracks into a smile and my heart bleeds at the sight. "As long as I'm not too much."

"You could never be too much," I cup the side of his warm cheek. "And I'm going to be there with you through this every step of the way, like I promised."

"I really appreciate you," he whispers and presses a kiss to the centre of my chest.

I shudder at the sensation, even if it's over my thick hoodie. I could feel everything.

"How was your day?" He asks as he turns back to the stove. "Did you apply for that job?"

A hum falls from my lips. "Sure did," I say. "Lacey is rooting for me."

"Well good, you deserve it. If she says you'll get the job, I'm sure you will," he glances over his shoulder with a small smile. "They'd be stupid not to make someone like you a project manager."

Alex soon plates up and we sit on the sofa, watching episodes of Rick and Morty whilst we eat. I'm groaning at the taste of the fresh noodles and spiced chicken on my tongue, every last bite is sending me to heaven right now.

I finish in record time when Alex isn't even half done. He chuckles at my empty plate and then throws his hand over his shoulder. "Go grab some more, I made loads."

"Thanks," I smile and help myself to seconds.

We eat in silence until my stomach is full and I'm holding Alex's hand as we watch the rest of the episode. When the credits start rolling, I jump up from the sofa and start taking the plates to the kitchen.

"You don't need to do that," he comments as I begin to wash up.

"No I do," I nod. "You made the meal, I wash up. It's simple."

Alex smiles at me and nods. "Okay, thank you. Did you enjoy it?"

My eyes almost bulge out of my head. "Enjoy it? Are you joking? That shit was so delicious, you should go on MasterChef."

He laughs softly and it slips down my spine like silk. "I don't think I'm good enough for Master Chef."

"I beg to differ."

When I'm finished in the kitchen and everything is spotless, my stomach doesn't feel so tight anymore from all the food I ingested. I sit back down on the sofa next to Alex and I cup his knee as a new episode plays.

I can feel his eyes burn into the side of my head, not moving. I twist my gaze towards him to find him staring but I smile. "What?"

His eyes flick down to my mouth as his own lips part, then back up to my eyes again. I watch his hand raise as he places it delicately on my cheek and looks to my lips away, slowly he draws us into one another and our mouths clash together.

I fist the back of his hair as he grips onto my hoodie, pressing us together tightly as I twist my head and open his mouth with my tongue. A groan falls from the back of his throat and I kiss him harder.

I'm panting at this point, our tongues grazing and lips smacking.

My cock rubs against my jeans and I almost hiss at the sensation. Alex's hands fumble with the hem off my hoodie. "Off," he murmurs against my lips and I don't need to be told twice. It lifts up and over my head, exposing my plain black t-shirt underneath.

Alex's lips are back on mine within a millisecond. "I want to do this," he whispers.

I flutter my eyes open to his, slipping my hand down his cheek. My throat clenches at his words. "Are you sure?"

He nods eagerly and stares at my lips again in awe. "I've never been so sure of anything in my life."

My heart warms like a furnace and I kiss him again, gentle and soft. "All the toys and lube are at my apartment," I whisper against his mouth.

"Okay," he rasps, fisting my shirt with his hand. "Go get them."

Neither of us pull away, too caught up in the moment and the taste of his lips. I grunt and know I need to go before I get ahead of myself, if this is done right, Alex needs to be prepped and ready and I want this to be perfect for him, for both of us.

I reluctantly pull away from the kiss and watch as Alex pants. "I'll be right back," I assure him before I remove my keys from my pocket and head straight to my apartment. I almost crash through the door as I speed run to my bedroom and collect everything I bought online.

Alex's door is still open when I get back but he's nowhere to be seen. I kick the door shut with my foot and carry the box of toys into his bedroom where Alex is standing. I place them down onto his bed and slide my hand against his jaw.

"All good?" He asks with eager eyes.

I grin at him. "All good."

Then we're kissing again, fiercely. I pull off his t-shirt, leaving his chest bare, he rushes to do the same with mine so we can feel our skin against one another. Then I tug off his tracksuit bottoms and he makes quick work with my buttons, fingers flying across my core as he yanks down the fabric.

Soon we're standing in our boxers and our hands are exploring every inch of one another, Alex's tongue slips into my mouth in a wild frenzy and I forget to breathe. I pick him up in my arms and carry him to the bed as I kneel.

I lean up from his body as I rest him back on the duvet. I empty the box onto the bed and hook my fingers into Alex's boxers, tugging them down his legs to expose his throbbing cock that is dripping with pre-cum. No doubt mine looks the exact same.

My hand reaches forward and I wrap it around his cock, stroking him gently. Alex groans instantly and watches my hand action as I dive my thumb down his slit and every curve and vein.

I peek my eyes up at him to find his lip between his teeth, hunger in his eyes.

"How's that?" I rasp.

"Good. You're so good with your hands."

A smirk flickers across my mouth. I continue to stroke him for a few moments more until I grab the lube and coat my fingers in it. With my wrist I spread his legs further and dip my hand between his cheeks, swirling the tips of my fingers around his entrance.

Alex throws his head back to the bed and groans loudly as I push one finger inside of him. He clenches around me instantly as I begin to pump in and out, slowly so he can get used to the sensation again.

"Oh shit," he covers his face with his hand.

I can't stop the smirk on my lips. Then I slip in another finger, stretching him out. Alex stiffens for a second and I stop moving until he releases a breath and I finger him at the same rhythm I stroke his cock.

"F-Fuck, River," he grips onto the sheets until his knuckles turn deathly white.

"That good?"

He nods eagerly. "Too good. Fuck."

I hum at the sight of him relaxing in my hands, enjoying every wave of pleasure that crashes over him. With my hand that is wrapped around his cock, I begin to speed up but keep my fingers inside his ass slow.

He arches off the bed and cries out, his legs spreading naturally wider. I grunt at the hardness of my cock in my boxers, my eyes fixating on his tight little hole. Oh he's going to feel so damn good.

"River," he warns.

"Come for me," I urge. "I want you nice and relaxed for me."

A soft moan fills the air as his head pushes into the pillow, chest heaving with intensity as I bring him closer to the edge of his climax.

"River," he warns again, his throat strangling with a whimper.

I speed up again, swiping my thumb across his sweet spot as he gasps aloud. "Let it out for me," I say deeply and suddenly Alex clenches around my fingers and moans so loudly that I'm sure the whole building will hear. But I don't care, I want him to let everyone know how good he feels.

Thick laces of cum shoot from the tip of his dick, splattering against his stomach as he rides out his orgasm on my fingers. He takes a few seconds to calm down as I continue to stroke his cock, letting every sensation wash over him until he's done.

"Fuck."

I remove my fingers and reach for the buttplug, lubing it up. Alex eyes me with lazy eyes and I glance at him. "Are you sure?"

"Positive," he pants.

With one hand I line the biggest buttplug up against his entrance and push it inside with barely any resistance, Alex moans and I feel my cock throb and ache inside my pants at the sound.

He pushes himself up from the bed when it's fully seated inside him, eyes desperate for me. He palms my cock in my pants and I hiss into his mouth with sheer desire. Our lips meet again and I slide my hands into the back of his hair, tugging gently as he uses his fingers to dip inside my boxers.

I'm already hard. That's not news to anyone.

Alex smiles against my lips as he begins to stroke my cock with his warm hand, it growing impossibly bigger in his palm. I groan into his mouth, kissing him deeper than before. He swirls his fingers around my tip before retreating and I pant desperately.

"Alex," I groan.

He pulls away and tugs me further onto the bed, my cock pointing straight at him. Then he bends down onto all fours and lines his perfect lips up against my tip. I quiver when he licks. Oh, fuck. He is killing me.

At first it's gentle, teasing and I can't stop watching. My eyes light with fire as he sucks on the head, swirling his tongue across the most sensitive spot. "Fuck," I throw my head back only to place it where it was before so I can admire him.

His eyes slide towards mine as I tighten my grip on his hair. Those grey eyes glitter in my direction and the pit of my stomach begins to tie as he lowers his head, laying his tongue flat as he pushes me to the back of his throat.

I groan and grit my teeth, pre-cum oozing out of the tip as it reaches the back of his mouth.

Then he grips the base of my cock with his hand, tossing me off at the same time as he sucks on the tip. My eyes almost roll into the back of my head at the heat that suddenly surrounds us, my need to come in his mouth and make him taste every drop.

But I don't. I've got other duties to attend to.

I rasp when he sucks so hard that I begin to get close. My hand rests on the bottom of his chin and I pull him up, my cock falling from his mouth. "Lay on your back," I order him.

Alex blinks at my rough tone but doesn't protest, he lays back and I admire the buttplug that is snug in his ass. I remove it with one hand and he moans, cock twitching in the process.

With one hand I grab the lube and the other I continue to fist my cock for extended pleasure, too excited to have this moment with him. His eyes follow me cautiously and I lean over his body, widening his legs and prodding the tip at his entrance.

"Are you sure?" I ask heavily.

Alex purses his lips and nods. "Yes. Please. I want to feel close to you right now."

I bite back a grunt of approval and glance down at his hole. "If it gets too much, tell me and we'll stop."

"River," he grips my arm and stares me down with lustful eyes. "Please. Please just fuck me."

Oh, God. I am truly fucked.

I nod at his request and slowly push my way into him, he gasps as I stretch him. My cock isn't small and I was worried about him adjusting to my size, especially as the buttplugs aren't anywhere near as big as me.

"That okay?" I pause for a moment, trying to ignore how much his ass is squeezing my cock and making it tingle with sincere pleasure.

"Yeah," he rasps. "Keep going."

Slowly I rock into him again, only pushing in half way. "Fuck," he whispers through a husky breath. I pause again and let him adjust, until his eyes light up and he gives me the go ahead.

It takes a few tries of pulling out and pushing back into him for Alex's body to relax against the feel of mine. I lean down and pepper kisses across his chest, shoulders and face to let him know that I'm listening to how his body responds to me.

His asshole tightens around my cock as I push all my way into him, a small whine leaving his lips. I kiss him and he places his hand on the back of my head, fingers running through the strands gently. I stop for a moment as he manoeuvres his hips.

"More," he pants into my mouth.

My thrusts speed up but not by much, enough to feel the force on his prostate. He gasps again and grips onto me tighter, everything around us becoming a haze of heat and desire because nothing in my life has ever felt this good.

I bite on my lip to suppress a moan but it's too late, it slips from my mouth and Alex stares up at me with fire-lit eyes. "You feel so good," I lower my forehead to his and close my eyes. "So fucking good."

Alex shudders as I continue to speed up, the bed jolting against the floor ever so quietly.

"Mmmm," he hums as I lean down and grip his cock between my hands, fisting it at the same pace as my thrusts. "Holy shit."

I lean down to his neck and nip at the skin, my body slowly becoming covered in sweat as I hold myself above him and tell myself not to come. Not this early, not when I want to give Alex all the pleasure in the world.

My thumb flicks across his tip and he jolts, bach arching into me as a long moan punctures the air. "Oh my God," he cries. "Yes, yes. Right there."

I keep doing what I'm doing, watching him as he closes his eyes and loses himself. I might just lose myself with him because I am too fucking close to the edge.

"Oh, River," he moans heavily.

"That feel good, yeah?"

He hums loudly. "So good. Oh, God. I'm close. I'm so close."

I speed up my hand, gripping a little tighter until his hips buckle and he cums all over his chest again. His cock throbbing uncontrollably as it shoots out. I've never heard Alex come so loud or so hard but it is everything and more.

He whimpers, as I dip my head to his neck. Listening to him cry out in my ear.

His arms wrap around me and he pants out a sharp breath. "I love you," he whispers, still shuddering from his orgasm. "I love you so fucking much."

Warmth spreads throughout my chest at his words, our eyes meet and I lower my forehead to his once more. I speed up and chase my own orgasm, which doesn't take long until I come inside his ass.

I grunt and grit my jaw together, my thrusts becoming lazier as the orgasm travels through every inch of my body and never stops. It's like I'm on fire, and I will never go out because feeling like this feels like fucking heaven.

We're both panting as I slump into his body, my cock falling from his greedy hole.

My hand reaches up to cup the side of his face as he stares at me. "You love me?"

"Yes," his throat constricts. "So much."

I lower my head and smile against his lips, kissing him over and over until we're both chuckling. "I love you too, Alex," I whisper and catch those gorgeous eyes again. "I've loved you for so damn long."

"Me too," he nods. "I just didn't know how to say it."

My back slips down on the bed beside him and I pull me into my arms, stroking his shoulder gently. "How was it?"

"Amazing," he says and even though I can't see his lips, I know he's grinning. "Fuck, that was so amazing. Why didn't we do it sooner?"

I chuckle and kiss the top of his head. "Plenty of more times to come."

"True. We've got a lot to make up for."
