Trials
Prologue
"But AJ... I want you, now, not tomorrow," Kevin's breath reeked of alcohol. He'd been out all night with Howie at his nightclub, Tabu. Just fifteen minutes passed since Kevin arrived back and he was pounding on AJ's room door.
"Kevin, you're smashed. This isn't a good time for that," AJ replied, though he couldn't deny he became powerfully aroused by the thought. Kevin was much bigger than he and it usually made it difficult, if not downright ridiculous for AJ to be 'on top.'
"Hello AJ! I'm drunk, you're right, but don't you remember what that does to a man?" Kevin replied, a slight slur to his words. AJ could feel his blood rise to his cheeks.
"Well that was extremely rude of you-"
"What, did they brainwash you that much AJ?" Kevin was truly pissing his lover off.
"Kevin this is NOT funny. You have no right to talk to me like this! How dare you?!" AJ spat, his voice angry but subdued. He didn't want to wake anyone, though having to keep his voice low was frustrating.
"AJ, look, I'm not being serious, okay? I was just-"
"Oh, shove it, Kev. Don't try to get yourself off the hook by saying that. You - the one who broke down my door and called me worthless? Because I was doing exactly what you are doing right now - treating me like shit? I don't think so-"
"Alex, I swear, I-"
"I don't even want to hear you call me-"
"You are so fucking sexy when you're pissed off," Kevin butted in. AJ's jaw nearly dropped to the floor.
"What the fuck did you just say?" His voice was dripping with a mixture of pure anger and confusion.
"I said, you are so fucking sexy when you are pissed off. There was a point to me being an asshole," Kevin replied, matter-of-factly.
"Oh, yeah, I'm so sure you were trying to piss me off because you think I'm sexy when I'm mad. What a great pick-up line, Kev! 'Hey, you're a fucking bitch! Oh I'm so glad that pissed you off lady, you're so sexy when you're angry' damnit Kevin, you really are drunk. Fuck you!"
"That was the plan, AJ." Almost calmly, AJ approached his bandmate, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and pulling him close roughly.
"There is only one way I can think of, right now, to fight off the urge to kick your balls right back into your body, Kevin Richardson. Do you want to know what it is?" Kevin looked AJ in the eyes and nodded. He was a little taken aback by AJ's actions. Kevin could easily kick his scrawny little ass, but he waited. Maybe it was the answer he wanted.
It was the answer he wanted: AJ pulled Kevin to him even closer and completely overtook Kev's lips with his. The smaller man's tongue forced its way into Kevin's mouth and Kevin did not hesitate to allow its entry. He couldn't stop himself from moaning when AJ's hand moved from his collar to the side of his neck, roaming even further downward, to the waistband of his pants.
"You taste like Kahlua," AJ mumbled, as he moved his rough kisses to Kevin's neck.
"Do I?" Kevin whispered. His body, though slightly inebriated, was reacting quite radically to AJ's touch. Goosebumps formed all over his body and the hair on his neck began to rise. AJ's fingers in his waistband teased him and his hard erection was becoming painful.
"I might forgive you... and maybe even give you what you want," AJ moved his fingers from Kevin's waistline to his crotch, where he began to lightly stroke the mound of fabric-encased, rock hard flesh. "If you get down on your knees," AJ licked the lobe of Kevin's ear, sucking on it momentarily, "and apologize."
"Okay..." his response was delayed by a long intake of breath, and audible sigh. AJ never failed to turn him on. He just knew what to say to get him ready for action. He'd never been attracted to a man before this. As far as Kevin knew, AJ never had either but AJ kept a lot of things secret. Slowly, though he did not want AJ's hand to stop fondling him, Kevin sank to his knees, as he was told. His dick was pulsing painfully and felt bare now that it was by itself. Reaching forward, Kevin unlatched AJ's belt buckle, and watched his absurdly baggy pants fall to the floor of their own accord.
The fact that he would do anything to please AJ quickly (lest he lose his balls) was made easier by AJ's lack of underwear. Kevin banished the thought of possible castration and moved his large, strong hand up where he circled it around AJ's erection. "Alex." He began to slowly caress AJ's length, a slight smirk forming on his mouth. "I just want to apologize," Kevin leaned forward then, his tongue flicking the head of AJ's shaft, eliciting a low moan from AJ. He would have continued, but he figured the best gesture was the course he took: after flicking his tongue one last time Kevin engulfed AJ, his entire length sliding its way down his throat.
A deep moan escaped AJ's lips, his head moved back, and he couldn't help himself from roughly entwining his fingers into Kevin's long hair. "God, Kevin, I... ohhh," he mumbled, his body feeling as though it was on fire. It was so rare for Kevin to do this so well - from lack of experience he usually gagged. His anger towards his lover gradually subsided as Kevin began a fast rhythm; fucking AJ to the fullest with his mouth. AJ's breaths became more and more shallow as he neared his climax, his hand loosening its grip finally as telltale signs of orgasm began to surface - lack of control, endless moans and grunts coming forth from him. It had been a month since Kevin had done this.
When AJ came, it erased everything Kevin had ever said to him that was negative for a split second. It erased everything. To say the least, it was earth-shattering. He felt his knees weaken and he nearly fell to the floor. Kevin caught him.
"AJ? What's wrong?!" Kevin asked, afraid. He'd never seen AJ react like this before.
"I don't... know, Kev, it's just," AJ shuddered. He could barely speak. This had never happened before. It wasn't normal. He felt weak, not satisfied. He had an idea of why... but he couldn't tell Kevin. Kevin would kill him.
"What? AJ... what's wrong with you? You just... you collapsed! Are you sick? Is something wrong?" Kevin was frantic now. All he had done was given AJ pleasure. How could this happen? He wasn't that good. Hell, it was only the... well, he wasn't the best at oral sex with men.
"Kevin I... I did something wrong today," AJ had finally recovered his breath. It had been months since... well, rehab. Almost eight months. This shouldn't happen!
"What? What did you do wrong?" Kevin asked, his heart racing a little less. Perhaps it had nothing to do with him... but wait. AJ had said he tasted like... but he hadn't touched that tonight. All he drank tonight was a few beers. No hard liquor, just Budweiser. As thoughts raced through Kevin's mind he noticed AJ's eyes were glassy - filled with liquid. He reached up and gently moved his hand across AJ's cheek. "What did you do?" AJ blinked in hopes of stifling his tears, but to no avail. Two fell slowly down his face.
"I got this letter today..." AJ began, but he couldn't finish the sentence immediately. He sobbed instead. "It... it said someone was watching me and I don't know... it just scared me so bad, I called my mom and... well, here, just read it," AJ stood suddenly, sniffling and wiping his nose as he walked towards his suitcase. "Usually I throw these away but, I don't know, I had this weird feeling... I got scared and I... I opened the fridge and...just read it," AJ handed the note to Kevin, sat down, and looked away. He couldn't look Kevin in the eye. Kevin was going to kill him. He couldn't disappoint his best friend, his brother, his... lover.
The five of them used to get threats all the time, until a couple of them came true. Not in a violent sense - but true enough to where it seemed maybe they were taking the 'these are all words, no action' slogan for granted. They beefed up security - as in, made sure that a letter was at least scanned over before the one who gave it to them was, ninety percent of the time, let to leave. However, their security was not perfect. They still received a few.
'No one truly cares about you. No one will miss you when you're gone...' Kevin could only read the first two lines. He struggled to swallow a lump in his throat, and instantly regretted everything he'd said to AJ tonight, just to get laid. That had been all it was - he was trying to get AJ pissed off enough to have the mythical 'makeup sex' routine done upon him.
"What did you do wrong, AJ?" Kevin asked again, not caring what it was, just knowing that when AJ hints at telling, even if he beats around the bush, means he really wants... no, NEEDS to tell it. It was in his nature. AJ needed to have some kind of reassurance that it was okay to tell someone something, so he always built up to it. Hesitating, Kevin looked over at his lover, immediately seeing the shame and sorrow in his incomprehensibly beautiful brown eyes.
"I drank tonight, Kev, I went back to it. I was so scared, I wasn't trying to get wasted or anything, I just, I was scared-"
"AJ, it's okay, I understand," Kevin brought his index finger across AJ's lips to silence him. He must have weakened, collapsed from the alcohol. It had been eight months since AJ had consumed anything with alcohol in it. It was like someone drinking for the first time - you can drink one alcoholic beverage and get tipsy. His arm became tighter around his lover and Kevin remained silent for a few moments.
Kevin looked down at the note in his hand, not wanting to read the rest, but knowing that he should. There wasn't much to it, but if it was enough to scare the bejesus out of AJ, it must have been enough. '...time will bring me the opportunity. I'll be watching you. Security will not help you...' Kevin crumpled the paper in his hand and closed his eyes. He let out a sigh and looked over at AJ.
"What can I do?" he asked, his green, concerned eyes scanning AJ. Oddly enough, AJ laughed. A little.
"This might be a little inappropriate but..."
"Inappropriate? You? Never..." Kevin grinned. "We need to finish what we started," he added, his tone sensuous and animalistic at the same time. Turning slightly, Kevin reached forward and placed his hand on AJ's cheek, willing him closer. Their lips met and AJ released a slow moan as their tongues intertwined. The room remained silent with only the ruffle of the sheets as the two moved themselves towards the center.
"Take off your shirt," Kevin mumbled, though he did not give AJ time to act when he ripped it from his torso. "That's better, I like you naked," Kevin growled, his lips capturing AJ's again. Kevin's hands moved over the hot body beneath him, downward, to AJ's legs. Pulling back from the kiss, Kevin looked AJ square in his eyes and pushed one of his thighs to the side. AJ was already breathing heavily and ready for Kevin's entry.
"Fuck me Kev, please," AJ mumbled. His hands found Kevin's ass and pulled him towards his goal. "Now, Kev," AJ moved up to Kevin's ear and licked it lightly. "I need you inside me," he whispered, and Kevin was happy to oblige. AJ's head fell back to the bed in ecstasy as Kevin began to thrust in and out of his body. "Oh God," he moaned. His hands moving up over Kevin's back. He could feel how tense Kevin's back was as his pace quickened.
"Is this what you wanted?" Kevin leaned down and growled in AJ's ear.
"Yes..."
"Do you like me inside you?"
"Yes..."
Kevin moved his hand down to AJ's erection and began to stroke it. "Does this feel good?" Kevin whispered, his lips pressing kisses firmly into the crook of AJ's neck.
"Oh God..." was all AJ could say.
"Do you want me to cum inside you..." his question was more like a statement as he began to feel himself tensing. His pace both inside and outside AJ was quickening as his fervor built and all focus was drawn to his core as he neared the edge. Kevin's sweat mingled with AJ's as both of them neared the peak of arousal and they both cried out in unison as their orgasm finally came. Kevin continued his thrusts slowly as each spurt of ejaculate exited his body.
"Kevin..." AJ whispered as the man above him calmed slightly, collapsing next to him on the bed. "Thank..."
Kevin cut him off with his finger and smiled. "It's four in the morning," Kevin stated, his mind wandering.
"Stay with me tonight," AJ requested. They rarely slept together. It was mostly sex. "I'm scared to be alone," AJ admitted, looking away from Kevin's stare.
"Okay," Kevin nodded in response. "We should get cleaned up first..." Kevin added, looking down. AJ was definitely not clean. Kevin had brought him to orgasm all over himself, and ... well, he was... "You can go first," Kevin laughed, pushing AJ away in mock disgust. AJ simply shook his head and stood, walking towards the bathroom.
"Kiss my ass Kevin, this is your fault," he quipped, without turning around.
"Later." Was Kevin's only reply.
