Ben yawned, losing his last man in the video game. Nick looked over after shutting the game off.

"Sorry Nick, I need to get home. I have early classes and my morning workout."

"How about staying the night?" Nick had leaned over taking Ben's lips as soon as the last word escaped his mouth. Breaking the kiss he added, "I promise to let you sleep..." Nick flashed one of his killer smiles as he looked into Ben's eyes, "...at least most of the night."

"Nick," Ben caressed Nick's cheek, "It's late and I'm afraid that'll mean missing my morning workout. And you know how important I feel it is."

Nick moved closer into Ben's space. He took his lover's lips, slowly sucking in the bottom one then released it as his tongue slid into the warm, inviting mouth. Ben melted into the kiss, letting Nick seduce him. Ben's body was already answering the seductive call as the kisses continued.

Ben's mind fought the fog. He gasped out, "Nick, please, I...have...work, please." But then once more he melted into his lover's kisses, letting them consume him.

"I'll set the alarm...please stay" Nick murmured between ragged breaths.

Ben stuttered, "I'll have to miss...my work out."

Nick managed to continue after more kisses. "Please, I really need to make love with you and I don't care how you want it."

Ben pulled Nick in for another kiss before gasping out, "bed now!"

Nick slipped off the couch with Ben right behind him. They resumed the kisses as they moved toward the bedroom. Ben's shoes and socks were already on the floor next to the couch. Now his shirt fell, landing not to far from his lover's as they took steps closer to the bedroom. Hands pulled at buckles, buttons and zippers finally letting the pants join the trail of clothes. Their underwear hit the floor just as they cleared the bedroom door. The lovers locked eyes.

"Alarm," gasped Nick as he moved away from Ben and headed for his alarm clock to set it.

Before his lover had taken a step, Ben spoke, "Supplies?"

Nick pointed towards the night stand. Ben moved quickly, pulling out a strip of condoms and lube and setting them on top. He pulled back the bedding and climbed into the bed. Nick was but a few second behind him as they continued the kisses. Their hard cocks touched, rubbed together, as they continued the kisses. Bodies pulled at each other as passion filled them. They gasped for breath when their lungs cried out for oxygen.

After what seemed like forever Nick forced words out between kisses as his body cried for more, "Ben...what do...you...want?"

"You...I...want...You!"

"But how?" as Nick locked eyes with him having captured his face in both hands.

With loved filled eyes Ben answered his lover, "I want your cock inside me." Ben tried to move his head; instead he settled for looking down then returning to his lover's gaze

"It's been a very long time since the last time I..."

Nick cut of the rest of his words with a tender kiss.

"Okay, I'll take my time."

Then Nick kissed away the rest of his lover's thoughts.

Ben let himself go, turning the control of their love making over to his lover. His body cried out for more as his lover placed loving kisses over it. Soon Ben was moaning out a scattering of words to let his lover know what he wanted. His hands moved as he tried to caress Nick, push him lower and hold on to the bed all at the same time.

Nick was almost close enough for his tongue to get a quick taste of Ben's cock when Ben called out.

"Nick, no!"

Nick turned his head and moved quickly to capture Ben's lips. When he parted from the kiss he stared loving into Ben's eyes and spoke.

"Okay, I know, I'm getting it."

He then reached across and grabbed the supplies, putting them closer on the bed. He tore open one condom pack and slid it over Ben's cock before claiming it.

His tongue and mouth went to work, lavishing sweet torture on Ben's condom covered cock. His free hand managed to get the lube opened and on to his fingers. Gently he moved his finger around, teasing the treasured hole. Every sound, every quiver, every motion was a clue to Nick as to what his lover wanted, liked and needed. He pushed the tip of his finger in and out, quickly returning it back...each time delving just a little deeper...then a second finger joined as he gently stretched Ben's knotted muscle-ring.

As his third finger pressed in, Ben cried out.

"Now Nick...cock...can't last...longer...please!"

The word hung in the air as Nick, in one smooth motion, slipped a condom on then buried his cock slowly into his lover. All motion stopped for a moment. Nick claimed Ben's lips in a gentle kiss, his cock buried deep. He released the kiss as he pulled almost all the way out...then once more the slow penetration and kiss. The pace was driving both men crazy, but Nick held his control tight, seeking lasting pleasure for his lover. But soon he was moving closer to the point of no return, so he picked up the pace and changed the angle to hit that one special spot. Ben now held onto his condom covered cock as Nick drove them both to orgasms within the same breath.

Ben held the condom tightly as Nick fell forward. Wave after wave ran through them both and each pulled in great gasps of air. When their bodies finally quieted down and returned some control to their minds Nick lifted himself off Ben. He continued in a smooth motion to pull out of his lover.

Ben moved off the bed and headed for the bathroom, taking the condom from Nick with him. He then checked both condoms and cleaned himself up before returning to the bedroom with a washcloth to clean Nick. The washcloth was tossed into the bathroom as the two lovers settled into each other's arms.

Sleep came quickly for both.

Hours later the alarm broke the peace of the sleeping men. Nick moved quickly to hit off the alarm as Ben slowly stretched out his body. The two men moved back into each others arms as lips gently kissed.

Ben ran his hand through the soft dark hair as his eyes look deep into the dark eyes, "Nick," his lover cut off the words coming next, with a kiss.

As they broke apart from the kiss, Nick jumped in, "I think I know what you're going to say. You thought I was going risk the lick. But I won't do that to you. No matter how small they think the risk, for you it's too great. So for us it's that important to always use a condom and I promise you I always will." Nick claimed his lips in a loving kiss as if to seal the promise just made.

Ben's eyes glisten and a nod of his head was all that he could handle at the moment. The two lovers lay for moments just looking at each and letting hands gently run over their bodies. Then soft kisses started as they let the silent talk continue.

"I have to get going." Ben said before giving Nick a deep kiss and pulling him closer. "Go back to sleep, you're still off, right?"

"Yea, tonight is the last night off for me." A quick kiss then he continued, "How about meeting for lunch?"

"Remember the meeting from last night? Well, I moved it to my lunch break. I'll only have a few minutes to grab something."

"How about I bring you something? The class is right by your office, isn't it?"

"Really, you don't need to do that. I'll only have maybe ten minutes or so."

They keep placing light kisses on each other as they talked. Their bodies close, legs intertwined and arms gently caressing.

"How about I pick you up after your last class, about 4? And take you to an early dinner."

"Nick, I have papers to grade, my workout and last night I didn't do any of the grading. So I have to get it all done tonight, no pick up, no dinner." Ben gave Nick a little deeper kiss.

"But you have to eat and it's my last night off, please." Nick tried one of his puppy dog eyes pouting looks on Ben.

"Nick" Ben kissed him once more, "no"

"But you have to eat, and I'll take you home. Then stay the night and make sure to get you to your morning workout and to work on time. I can read while you work on the grading. I promise to let you grade all the papers and not bother you...until you finish with them."

"And what happens when I finish?" Ben smiled as his lover's hand trial over his ass, which spoke of last night pleasure.

"Whatever you like as long as I get to stay the night with you in your bed," Nick's eyes sparkled wickedly.

Ben kissed him, "Nick, you're so bad."

"Really tonight will be the last night for at least five days, please," Nick caressed Ben's ass and planted a kiss. "Pretty please, with cock on top."

Ben laughed, "Okay, if I understand your plan right my car will be left on campus overnight."

Nick pulled in a breath before launching into the plan, "You're leaving here in a few minutes in your car. I'll bring you some lunch at 12:45 to your office. At 4 o'clock..."

Ben interrupted, "make it 4:30, so I can get my stuff together."

"Okay, 4:30 I pick you up and take you to dinner. After dinner we go back to your place where I read and you work. Next is love making and sleep then I get us up in time to go to the gym before taking you to work, on time. That way when you get out of work you'll have your car as I'll probably be getting ready for work if not already there."

Ben glanced at the clock then kissed Nick, "Okay, you got your way about tonight, I even give on lunch. But now I do have to run."

Nick smiled followed with a questioning look.

"You need to let go of me."

Nick's arms and legs slipped away from Ben, "sorry."

Ben gave Nick one last quick kiss before sliding out of the bed. He grabbed his clothes and pulled them on as he made his way back down the trail to the couch where shoes were slipped on. He was out the door and on his way to his house to change for the day's work.

Nick waited in the lobby area of the three offices for Ben. The secretary looked up as the door to the hallway opened. She held out the stack of notes for Ben. She started to announce Nick but realized there was no need as Ben face lit up as soon as he saw him. The two men disappeared into Ben's office. As soon as bag of food was sat on the desk, Nick was pulled into a very passionate kiss.

"Sorry, I didn't have time to give you a proper morning wake up." Ben whispered into Nick's ear as he held him possessively.

Nick's mind was a little scrambled from the kiss so he was still trying to put the words together when Ben continued.

"I should've pleasured you before running off like that. But there just wasn't anytime."

Nick smiled, then his mind kicked in, "There's no time now, you need to eat as you have to get to class. Just remember those thoughts later, okay" With that Nick struggled to reach for the bag.

Ben let go and moved to see what Nick had brought him. First was a tall drink, a power fruit smoothie and next was an insulated divided bowl with fruit and vegetables. Taking a few bites of the fruit and a few sips of the juice Ben sat the drink back down then pulled Nick in for a few more intense kisses. The sound of the secretary broke through to Ben.

"I can drink on this in class and I'll eat these as I can. You brought the prefect lunch for me. I just wish we had a few more minutes together." Ben gave Nick one last kiss before picking up the lunch and turning for the door.

As they headed out and across the hall she heard the "see you at 4:30" and an exchange of "later."

A moment later she picked up the phone, "Hey Jill, remember the Ben bet?" "I'll take dinner at that new place you told me about." "Yes, I'm sure, dark hair and eyes with the kind of body, you drool over." "Brought him lunch and is coming back at 4:30." "Sure, just bring a file or something so they won't know you're here to check him out." "Bye."

That afternoon found Jill in the outer area waiting for the boyfriend. The two women acted as if they were looking over a file on the desk as Ben walked out of his office and continued on out into the hall. Glancing at each other the two grabbed their purses and followed him as it really was their quitting time also.

They followed, trying to make it look as they were just walking to their cars. Ben smiled as he saw Nick standing next to the car. Nick slid back into the car as soon as he was sure the new girl had checked him out. Ben walked around and slid in.

The two men laughed as they past the women who now were really heading for their cars in the next parking lot over, the employee parking lot.
