The bathroom was small, but well-appointed. It even had a bidet.
Luka's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled, thinking this
European fixture could prove extremely entertaining in the future. He
began to undress John, removing the sweat shirt, kissing his neck and
chest, while fluttering his eyelids so that his lashes tickled. John
shivered again violently.
"You are cold, no?"
"I am hot, yes." John growled.
"Then I must cool you off." Luka bent to remove John's sweatpants,
revealing his nakedness. John's penis was perfectly in proportion to
the rest of him, long and slender but thickening rapidly. Luka knelt
and continued with his kisses. With a free hand he turned on the hot
water while tonguing the shaft of John's penis."
"Ohhh, that feels good. Don't stop." John whispered.
As if in response, Luka stood and kissed John's mouth. "Your turn."
He wanted to see what John would do."
Blushing hotly, John pulled Luka's sweater off and opened the top
buttons to his shirt then pulled that off as well. Luka's body was
beautiful and John eagerly began annointing the strong chest with
kisses of his own. He nipped and teased the dark nipples as he ran
his hands lightly up and down Luka's sides. Then he knelt and began
undoing the belt and zipper. Easing Luka's trousers down, John buried
his face in the dark curly hair he'd revealed. The man smelled
wonderful. John removed the last of Luka's clothing while kissing and
lapping at his skin. Ducking his head, he took the heavy testicles
into his mouth and began to hum.*
It was Luka's turn to shiver as the resulting vibrations reverberated
throughout his groin. John stood and smiled. "Do I pass the test?"
"This isn't a contest or an examination. Just do what feels good to
you. And yes, I loved it." Luka smiled as John's look of doubt
changed to a wide grin. Luka turned on the cold water, and when the
temperature was comfortable, he picked John up and stepped into the
tub.
John was in heaven. The feel of Luka's strong arms holding him was
wonderful. Instinctively, he tucked his head into the crook of Luka's
neck and began to gently suck the moistened flesh. Luka looked down
at the man in his arms and sighed. At last, he had John where he
belonged. He lowered his lover until they stood facing one another,
the water streaming over them. Luka reached for the soap and a wash
cloth but John stopped him.
"Let me." was all he said, taking the bar of glycerine soap into his
own hands. He worked up a lather and then proceeded to wash Luka
using his hands, pausing only to kiss him before moving onto another
section of his body. When he was done, he returned the soap to Luka
who followed suit. He softly kissed each of John's scars, bathing
them with his tongue. John quivered. For once, all the bad memories
refused to surface. He gave himself over to the marvellous sensations
coursing through him.
Luka shut off the water and got out of the tub. He turned to face
John holding a large bath sheet in his hands. John stepped into the
terry-lined embrace and put his arms around Luka's neck. "Tell me
this night will never end." He breathed. I've wanted you, loved you
for so long. This is like a dream. I never want to wake up."
"This night will end, my beloved; but it will be followed by a
million others just as good." Luka picked John up once more, still
enveloped in the towel, and carried him across the hall into the
bedroom placing him on the bed. He then turned on the bedside
lamp. "I like to see what I'm doing." Luka quoted, grinning. John
nodded, his pulse pounding.
Luka lay down beside John and kissed him. "I'm not going to do
anything to make you feel nervous or uncomfortable. If I accidentally
hurt you, tell me at once. This is your first time, and I want you to
remember only good things about it." John nodded again.
"First you need to know that I haven't been with anyone in over a
year. I was last tested for HIV three weeks ago and the results were
negative."
"The same goes for me." John said while stroking Luka's shoulder.
"Nevertheless, if you would feel more comfortable using condoms, I'll
understand and approve."
"I'd prefer it." John replied. "It's not that I don't trust you, it's
me. I received several transfusions during my surgery and I'd rather
not put you at risk."
"Thank you." Luka leaned in for another long slow kiss as he removed
the towel. The cool air had done its work on their erections, but the
diminishment was only temporary. Luka moved down on the bed and
enveloped John's penis with his mouth. The organ swelled under his
attentions which were vigorous. John moaned loudly twisting his
fingers in Luka's hair. After another twenty minutes of pure bliss,
he gasped. "Get a condom. I don't know how long I can hold off!"
Luka grinned. "I left them in the living room."
"There's no need to go that far. I have some in the nightstand.
Hurry."
Luka found the foil-wrapped packets, opened one and sensuously rolled
it down onto his lover. John arched his back as the voracious mouth
continued to work its magic. He came soon after, shouting Luka's
name. His cries were silenced as Luka moved back up and captured his
mouth in a fierce kiss.
"You enjoyed that, no."
"I enjoyed that, yes. Yes, yes, a zillion times yes.
Luka smiled down at his lover. John's responses bespoke a sensitivity
that boded well for the future. He softly stroked John's face and
chest as the younger man's breathing returned to normal.
"When do you have to be at work?" John asked. He could think again.
"Day after tomorrow. And you?"
"3:30 tomorrow afternoon."
"Good. We have plenty of time." Luka removed the condom and went to
throw it away. When he returned, he had his own backpack. John raised
himself onto his elbows to examine Luka. Apart from the scar on his
right side, Luka's skin was smooth, the color of the inside of a
freshly baked croissant. "Do you like what you see?"
"Yes. You're exactly as I imagined you."
"And did you imagine doing things to me?"
"Oh yeah. I rarely had a night with dry sheets since you came to
County."
"Tell me what you imagined."
"I'd rather show you." John said softly, blushing again. He sat up
and moved to the edge of the bed, taking Luka's semi-erect penis into
his mouth. He was startled when Luka pulled away.
"What's the matter?"
"John, what you are about to do takes some experience. I told you,
I'd rather not have you embarassed or hurt your first time." Luka
stroked the smooth face before him.
"Don't worry. Trust me." John replied.
"I do."
John went back to giving his first blow job. Luka was surprised,
Carter seemed to have a knack for it. His lips, tongue, and teeth
worked in concert; alternately brushing, bathing, and gently biting
the sensitive organ. Luka threw his head back and surrendered to the
exquisite pleasure. He actually groaned aloud when John withdrew his
mouth and reached for a condom. He tore the packet open and placed
the little circle of latex on the tip of Luka's penis after licking
it to make it stick. He then proceeded to take Luka into his mouth
again, using his lips and tongue to roll the condom down into place.
Securing the base of the latex sheath with his left hand, he slipped
his right hand between Luka's legs, gently brushing his testicles
with his fingers. His rhythmic sucking continued.
Luka gasped as the tip of John's slender index finger penetrated his
anus while the other fingers massaged his buttocks. John's head
barely bobbed as he let suction and his tongue do most of the work,
drawing Luka deeper inside. He turned his head slightly, inhaled
deeply, then really went at it. Luka clutched John's shoulders and
began to thrust, gently at first, then more forcefully. Just when he
thought it couldn't get any better, John started humming again. Damn,
the man must be part fish, he hadn't once stopped to breathe. After
what seemed like an eternity, Luka's climax slammed through his body,
waves of orgasmic pleasure radiated outwards from his groin. His
knees went weak. Finally, John pulled away, cupping the quivering
penis in his left hand as he stripped the condom off with his right.
He leaned forward and rubbed the slickened organ over his face and
throat, then lay back pulling Luka on top of him. He smeared a small
amount of semen onto his lips and kissed Luka. There wasn't even a
faint trace of the flavor of latex.
"Sweet heavens." Luka gasped when John stopped the kiss. "Are you
sure this is your first time?"
John grinned. "That was good, no?"
"That was incredible, yes."
"I've been practicing." John said simply.
"How?!" This was going to be good.
"Well, those videos weren't really any help. I mean unless you want
the raunchy stuff, most of the action is fake. So, I called into one
of the gay sex phone lines, and in my best British accent asked the
guys for some pointers. They were happy to oblige. Once you peel a
medium-to-large sized cucumber and sculpt one of the ends a little,
you've got something you can sink your teeth into. I don't think
Kerry ever figured out why I kept asking her to make cucumber salad."
John smiled.
Luka snorted, then laughed uproariously. He hugged John. "Thank you.
You've given me something to remember with joy for the rest of my
days. But what about your breath control?"
"Every summer, since I was six, my family went to our home in the
Bahamas. It's amazing what snorkeling will do for your breathing."
Luka laughed again as he stood up. "I'll be right back."
John lay back on the bed, relieved that his studious approach to sex
had paid off once again. No one had ever complained about his
technique before, and he had been determined to please Luka at all
costs.**
Luka returned with a chilled bottle he'd slipped into the freezer
while John changed clothes. He also had two champagne flutes. "I
didn't know if you are allowed to drink alcohol, so I hope this will
do. He opened the bottle of sparkling grape juice. Besides, I want to
remember everything about this night."
"I have the occasional sip of wine, but you're right. My therapist
put me on Prozac so, I haven't been drinking. My behavior has been
weird enough without adding the odd psychotic episode. However,
rather than drink that fake stuff, I usually just drink water or
juice."
"Try this." Luka poured a small amount of the burgundy-colored
beverage into John's glass. John sipped it, prepared for the usual
cloyingly sweet taste he'd encountered before. His eyes went wide.
The flavor was excellent.
"What is this? It tastes like a Merlot."
"For an American, you have a good palate. It's a blend of Merlot and
Chardonnay grape juices with apple cider and seltzer to add the fizz.
I got it at one of those fancy health food stores. The saleswoman
warned me that it doesn't keep well once it's opened. It will begin
fermenting pretty quickly, so if you don't want to get drunk, finish
the bottle immediately." Luka poured more for both of them then set
the bottle on the nightstand.
He sat down facing John and kissed him. "Here's to the lowly
cucumber. I'll never eat salad or visit the produce aisle again
without thinking of you. They clinked their glasses laughing.
"So what else is in store for me tonight?" John asked.
"Well, I had planned to introduce you to the feeling of anal
penetration, but I have a hunch, you've researched that too, no?"
John's face turned the color of ripe cherries as he nodded, his eyes
bright with glee.
"Don't tell me, the joy of cucumbers." Luka grinned.
"Nope, too soft. I went to one of those sex stores and bought this."
John reached for the other drawer in the nightstand, opened it and
withdrew a large vibrator. Luka's mouth fell open.
"You've actually managed to get that thing inside yourself?"
"Well, not at first. I started with a skinny, really flexible one and
worked my way up, so to speak." John replied.
"Shit! I take back what I said about this not being an examination.
You've been studying more than I did for my university courses.
"And had a lot more fun, too."
"Here I was all prepared to teach you, and I bet you could teach me."
"I doubt it. The physical part of a relationship can be wonderful,
but without your heart and mind involved, it doesn't really satisfy.
I dreamed of one day being able to do these things with you and have
you show me how marvellous it is when two people love each other."
John said quietly. With only two exceptions, I've never been to bed
with anyone I didn't feel love for. Going through the motions was
empty and made me feel... You see, nobody has ever really wanted love
from me, before." John's voice had sunk to a whisper.
"Oh my beloved..." Luka began, then followed with a stream of
Croatian phrases.
"What did you say?"
"That I am honored to be loved by you. Honored and proud, to think
you went to all this trouble to please me all the while believing I
couldn't love you back." Luka's voice broke and John embraced him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make *you* cry. I just didn't want to
disappoint you if and when the time ever came."
"Janaskja, there is no way under heaven you could ever disappoint me.
I was pleased to learn I would be the first man to make love to you
and give you that kind of pleasure. I'm overjoyed to find out I am
the first to want the precious gift of your love. Those who went
before me, must have been idiots not to see how beautiful and
wonderful you are." Luka took John's face in his hands and kissed him
deeply. "Tonight, I have been given a tremendous blessing. I thank
God for you." He pulled John into his arms.
"What did you call me?" John asked softly, his head on Luka's
shoulder.
"'Janaskja'. It's Croatian; an affectionate form of your first name."
Luka answered rocking them both. "It's what I always called you, in
my dreams."
