A New Song [mxm]

29. Let Me In

Jaxon laid on Alex for a while until he finally got up from the couch. He bent over and picked Alex up in arms and took him to the bathroom. 

"What are you doing?" Alex said with a laugh.

"I'm drawing you a bath." Jaxon said as he sat him on the counter as he got the water warm.

"Just me?" Alex said with a small smile as the man he cared for was taking care of him.

Jaxon laughed. "I just came in my pants, like a teenager, just by kissing you. You think I can handle being naked in a tub with you?"

He turned back to the tub, hiding his face. But Alex was sensitive to sounds and could hear some apprehension laced with his voice. Alex climbed down from the counter and hugged Jaxon from behind. Jaxon tensed a little.

"Do you regret what we did?" Alex asked.

Jaxon shot up and turned to face him. His hands found their place on Alex's cheeks. "No. Never."

"Good, so take a bath with me." Alex said as he unbuttoned his pants and let them fall on the floor.

Jaxon's eyes darkened as he took in the view.  His Adam's apple bobbed and he took a deep breath. "I feel like I'm pushing boundaries. I don't know if I will push too far." 

"We said we will move at our pace, so I will tell you when it's too much. Just promise me you will do the same." Alex said.

"Are you sure?" He was a little hesitant.

A little over a month ago, Alex was scared and incredibly lost.  Even now, he felt nervous.  But more prominently, he was still feeling the overwhelming desire to give in, to let go completely with Jaxon. And after tonight, it was no longer a question of if he was willing try.  He was all in. He was sure.

Preston Green has died, and he was no longer living under the oppression of Remy.  He was Alex, yearning to live in Jaxon's embrace.

Alex's hands rested on Jaxon's hips. He smiled happily at him. "Jaxon, it doesn't matter how many lifetimes I live, you will be the only one I trust wholeheartedly."

Jaxon sighed and pressed his forehead against Alex's. "Alexander Lee, you can't image the things you do to me."

"Take a bath with me." Alex requested again, his voice softer than before.

Jaxon smiled and gave him a chaste kiss. "You win."

They fully undressed in front of each other, for the first time being completely exposed. Alex's eyes followed the strong body down and paused at the specimen between Jaxon's legs. He felt his legs almost give out.

He let out a sharp breath. "It going to take some time getting used to that."

Jaxon smiled broadly and scooped Alex back up in his arms. He lowered both of them into the bath, the water splashing around a little.

Jaxon had Alex sit between his legs, his back pressed against his chest. Jaxon just held him and Alex sighed with delight. His body was exhausted. His fingers brushed lightly on Jaxon's arms, humming his song.

Jaxon nuzzled his face in Alex's neck. "What song are you singing today?"

"I don't know yet. It's a tune that is stuck in my mind. I need to figure out where it is leading me."

"The song leads you?"

"Sometimes. Sometimes I have to bend a song to my will... but some of the best songs develop naturally." Alex said.
