Third Person POV

Tul awakened first.

He tried to get out of bed and then fell back on his pillows wincing. He could still feel the soreness all over his body, especially there, where Max had relentlessly, mercilessly pumped into him over and over and over. But then again Max had also given him immeasurable pleasure last night so Tul was not regretting anything.

Once more Tul lifted himself and slowly and carefully twisted his upper body so that he could at least sit on the edge of the bed before finally standing up and making his way to the bathroom.

After brushing his teeth and going through his morning ritual, he unclothed himself and stepped into the shower stall.

He adjusted the water temperature to his desired warmth and then allowed the spray to hit his body. With his eyes closed because the water was splashing onto his face, he blindly groped for the soap bar in the shower caddy. The soap bar wasn't there. What the... before he knew it, someone's lathery hands were slowly, seductively soaping his back.

Tul quickly turned around and opened his eyes.

"How the hell did you get in here without my noticing?" Tul couldn't believe what was happening.

"I got magic powers," Max replied with a chuckle before enveloping Tul in his embrace and locking his lips on Tul's.

They kissed long and hard and deep until they had to break apart to take in some much needed air.

Before Max could do anything else, Tul protested, "I'm still sore there and everywhere."

"Don't worry, baby, I won't do anything to hurt you," Max whispered into Tul's ears while soaping his neck and shoulders and chest and abdomen and ......

"Uhh... " Tul gasped when he felt Max encircle his member and start soaping it with gentle circular motions.

Against his will, Tul felt himself hardening down there. He clung to Max's shoulders as Max changed his motions from circular to up and down. From slow movements, Max increased his tempo... a little faster... tugging a little harder... then slowing down to caress the sensitive areas at the base of Tul's member...... then suddenly Max gave his attention back to Tul's hardened pulsing erection, he wasn't going to slow down now... faster and faster Max's hand went..... up and down... tugging hard......  Max stifled a yelp when he felt Tul's teeth clamp down hard on the soft flesh of his shoulder and then Max felt Tul's whole body quiver before he spurted all his love juices on Max's abdomen.

Max supported Tul's limp body up until he was steady on his feet again.

"No, babe," Max whispered when Tul made a move to try to give Max the same pleasure that Max had just given him.

"Why not?" Tul asked in offended surprise.

"Can't you hear it?" Max asked.

"Hear what?" Tul was puzzled. Just what was Max talking about.

Max turned off the shower and all was quiet.

"Ohhhh...... " Tul said in understanding after he could hear the alarm coming from the bedroom.

"I gotta run, babe," Max said, giving Tul one last passionate kiss before hurrying out of the bathroom to get ready for work.

"Call me during your lunch break," Tul said before finishing up his shower.

"I will, sweetheart," Max said as he opened one closet after another hurriedly choosing what to wear for work.

Tul was busy fixing himself a breakfast of cheese, tomato and bacon bits omelet when he heard his phone ringing. The ringtone indicated that it was his mother calling.

Tul gently eased the finished omelet from the pan and onto a plate before rushing over to the bedroom to fetch his phone that was lying on his bedside table.

"How are you doing, Ma?" Tul asked as soon as he swiped his phone screen.

"I'm alright," Tul's mom replied. "How are you feeling? Are you feeling stronger?"

"Yes, Ma, I am," Tul assured his mom. "I only had one bout of dizziness yesterday which was relieved by the pills that my doctor prescribed."

"That's good," Tul's mother sighed with relief, "Let's hope that it doesn't recur. Hey, listen, I will be making some miso soup and will be bringing it over to you later. It will strengthen you and make you recover faster."

"That sounds terrific," Tul said appreciatively. "Thank you so much. I will look forward to it."

"I will be there just before twelve noon," Tul's mom said. "I will also be bringing you some beef broccoli and jasmine rice."

"You're too kind and generous, Ma," Tul said, "but I'm not gonna say no to your delicious stuff."

"I'll see you later then, son," Tul's mom said and cut the call before Tul could say anything else.

In the meantime, at work, Max did his best to focus on his tasks although he kept on glancing at the office clock. He couldn't wait for lunch break so that he could call the love of his life.

At exactly seven minutes before twelve, Max locked up his office desk and instead of going to the company cafeteria, he went out to the company courtyard and dug his phone from his pocket.

He was smiling in anticipation as his phone started ringing.

But it rang...... and rang ... and rang ... until it went to Tul's voicemail.

What the hell was going on.

Max tried ringing Tul several times more before giving up and walking back inside the company building, feeling deeply frustrated and puzzled... and a little worried.

Max went through the motions of eating lunch while his head was spinning around with all sorts of dark ideas. Was Tul unable to answer because someone had come to their unit to visit him while Max was away at work? Was Tul cheating on him? Was Tul pretending all this time to whisper all those passionate declarations of love when all this time he was seeing someone else? Fluke, maybe??? Fluke! Yes, that was it! Fluke was trying to seduce Tul at their unit right now! Max felt so nauseated at the thought.

He gulped down his iced honey lemon tea and rushed towards his supervisor's office.

"What's the matter with you?" his supervisor Sandra looked up from her desk in alarm. "You look like you just got hit by a ten wheeler truck!"

"I ... I ... I have to take the rest of the day off, Sandra," Max said, almost in tears. "Something's happening at home. It's very personal, I'm sorry I can't explain it to you."

Fortunately Sandra was a kind and understanding supervisor and said that Max could take the rest of the day off.

Max weaved in and out of the traffic lanes, trying his best to keep within the speed limit.

He quickly parked his car in the allocated spot in their building's basement parking area, and then rushed up towards his unit.

He tiptoed to the front door of his unit and quietly slipped in his key and then flung open the door.

Tul and his mom were laughing over some anecdote that Tul's mom was narrating to her son. They turned around in shock to see Max standing in the doorway, his eyes wide open in rage but slowly changing to a quieter more peaceful expression when he saw Tul's mom.

"Come, have some of the food I brought in, son," Tul's mom invited Max.

Tul stood up from his chair and walked away from the table and approached Max who was still silent all this time.

"What happened, sweetheart?" Tul asked, his face full of concern.

Max did not reply. He just hugged Tul very tightly until Tul protested, "Max, babe, please, let go."
