Chapter 33. No Stones Unturned
There was a hint of exasperation in Alex’s voice, “Ryan, I know Adam is an intelligent grown-up man, but he is not a fucking secret agent with expertise in espionage to slip undetected multiple times from your advanced surveillance equipment and tracking team.”
Ryan opened his mouth to explain but closed it again.
Alex ran his hand through his blond hair and continued his restrained tirade, “In case you failed to notice, my husband couldn’t actually blend in the crowd even if he wanted to, because he always stands out, which means he’s hard to miss.”
It had been two weeks since Adam had disappeared. Since day one, Alex had insisted that Ryan deploy all his time, effort, and resources to only one absolute mission: finding Adam.
Ryan witnessed how each day had become worse than the day before. He could feel Alex’s impatience escalating and his anger intensifying by the second. When it came to running his business, he was still at the top of his game but behind closed doors, he was like an overstretched rubber about to snap.
Ryan felt bad for his friend and was already doing his best to find Adam. He did not take any offense at Alex’s sarcasm even if it was directed at him because he knew his friend was just blowing out steam. Thinking it would lighten his mood, Ryan made a private joke. “If you had convinced Adam to model for me again, maybe he would not have left.”
Ryan’s words gave Alex a sudden sense of déjà vu and his mind was transported back in time when his friend said the exact same thing several months back.
Ryan was sitting in the same chair opposite his desk and he remembered clearly that it was a full week right after coming back from his honeymoon with Adam.
****************************************
“You look like a million bucks!” Ryan couldn’t miss noticing the radiant glow on Alex’s face. “I can’t believe I would be saying this, but marriage suits you, man. Adam must be doing something right.”
A ghost of a smile fleetingly touched Alex’s stoic face. Ryan’s observation hit the bull’s-eye. Ever since Alex could remember, he hadn’t felt this satisfying level of contentment before in his sex life. Adam’s beautiful body was the perfect vessel for his immense libido. Contrary to being exhausted from having sex every night, it had made him feel young and alive again. Just thinking of his gorgeous husband filled with his hard cock was already making him horny as hell.
“Earth to Alex.” Ryan taunted Alex playfully and shook his head in disbelief.
Since the wedding, Ryan had hardly seen Alex. Setting up an appointment with him was like catching a slippery fish. Every time he called the office, Alex’s secretary would tell him that her boss had gone home with Adam. Even their clubbing days had become a thing of the past.
All the telltale signs were flashing like neon lights, impossible to ignore. Ryan was seriously considering the not-so-remote-anymore possibility that Alex had already gone off the deep end. There was only one logical explanation for his friend’s uncharacteristic behavior: he had already fallen madly in love with Adam. After all what other proof of lunacy did he still need-Alex married him for crying out loud.
The cocky grin Alex wore on his face told Ryan that his provocation did nothing to taint his friend’s good mood. Taking advantage of the situation, Ryan took the opportunity to push his own selfish interest.
“Speaking of Adam, how does he feel about modelling for me again?”
The sudden switch in Alex’s facial expression from a genuine grin to a smirk almost gave Ryan a whiplash. On the slim chance that Alex would still say yes, he goaded him even more.
“Alex, you can’t argue with the fact that this could only be a win-win situation for all of us. Both our companies would gain more revenues if Adam agrees to do it and it will also mean more exposure for Adam.”
The idea of Adam being exposed even if only half-naked to be ogled at by anyone but him repulsed Alex. He was quietly seething and he clenched his jaws to control his jealous rage. This foreign emotion confounded him since he had never felt overly possessive about anyone before. If he was being honest about it, the alien feeling scared him a lot.
In front of Ryan’s scrutinizing eyes, he shoved the unfamiliar feeling back lest Ryan started thinking that he was turning into a marshmallow or worse a love-struck idiot. The poker face was up faster than Ryan could blink.
Projecting an air of indifference, Alex gave Ryan a noncommittal reply, “I don’t think Adam still has the time to model; he has a lot of projects lined up that need his undivided attention.”
Ryan flashed a wicked grin. “You mean Alex project?”
Alex refused to rise to the bait and had managed to keep his cool.
“Maybe we should ask Adam himself,” Ryan said with eyebrows raised in a challenge.
There was a glint of arrogance in Alex’s eyes. Is he trying to insinuate that I am an insecure control freak whose business decisions would be dictated by the needs of my cock? Backing out from a dare was not his cup of tea. Bring it on!
There was an awkward moment of silent tension in the room as the two men squared off. Each took his stance to challenge the other.
Interpreting Alex’s reticence as his victory, Ryan smirked and secretly patted his back for two achievements-first, a sure contract with Adam as his model and second, a rare chance to witness his friend flustered.
Let’s see who gets the last laugh. Alex pressed the intercom. “Kara, get Adam here.”
Ryan’s smirk disappeared and he raised his brows in a curious gesture. What’s he up to?
Both heads turned to the door as Adam walked into room.
As soon as Alex laid his eyes on Adam, his face lit up like a light bulb with a megawatt smile that could easily light up half of San Francisco. His hungry eyes took in easily the sexy way Adam’s outfit hugged his slim figure.
Ryan snorted and then chuckled at Alex’s lack of subtlety.
“What?” Alex asked annoyed.
“Nothing.” Ryan just shrugged his shoulders.
“I’m glad you find me amusing.” Sarcasm dripped in Alex’s tone.
Ryan’s eagerness to find out what Alex had up his sleeves cut off a retorting remark threatening to escape his lips. He was bothered though by the gleam of mischief dancing in Alex’s blue eyes. This is not good.
Alex turned his attention to Adam. “Baby, come here.”
Adam walked warily toward Alex and stopped beside his outstretched arm. He gave Ryan a polite nod and then turned to look at Alex.
Alex hooked his arm around Adam’s waist and quickly pulled him down to sit on his lap.
Adam yelped in surprise, too stunned to struggle or fight with Ryan sitting so close and watching their every move. His cheeks flooded with heat and he frowned at Alex.
“Baby, Ryan is a very good friend; he’s like a brother to me so you don’t need to feel embarrassed.” Alex tucked a lock of Adam’s hair behind his ear and played with a handful of smooth strands that fell lushly over his shirt collar. Alex had been postponing Adam’s visit to his hairdresser since he preferred Adam with long hair.
“Baby, Ryan has a business proposition for you.”
Adam glanced curiously at Ryan while squirming uncomfortably on Alex’s lap.
Adam’s nearness stunned Ryan. Oh my, he really is beautiful. He was momentarily tongue-tied. When he had finally managed to stop staring, his eyes caught Alex’s hand slowly caressing Adam’s thigh.
A little uneasy at Alex’s obvious show of desire in his dark hooded eyes, Ryan cleared his throat uncomfortably before speaking, “Adam, I want to offer you another modelling contract.” He did not believe in beating about the bush and so he just outright said it without any embellishments.
Adam couldn’t think straight. Alex’s hands, one rubbing his thigh and the other playfully twirling the hair over his shoulder were distracting him. It was a good thing that he had a ready answer to Ryan’s question. But before replying he turned to look at Alex for any hint to make sure his answer would meet his approval.
The eyes that met his were ablaze with desire and the hand on his thigh grew bolder as it deliberately brushed the bulge of his pants.
Adam jerked forward as a bolt of electricity coursed through his body. On impulse, Adam grabbed Alex’s hand, shook his head in alarm, and pleaded with his eyes in objection. He struggled to stand but Alex held him tighter.
“I will not be responsible to what happens if your nonstop squirming gives me a hard-on,” Alex whispered against Adam’s ear.
Adam froze and was mortified to feel the hardness poking his backside.
The corner of Alex’s lips turned up into an almost indiscernible smile when he saw the look of shocked indignation on Adam’s face. He could also feel Adam’s body fraught with nerves as he struggled to control his anger. From Adam’s smoldering eyes, Alex dropped his gaze to his pouted lips and dirty thoughts crossed his mind. The things I want to do to that succulent mouth.
Alex called on all his self-control not to ravage his husband right there and then. It was a very tempting thought, but he would rather do it without an audience. I need to get rid of Ryan fast.
“Adam, don’t keep Ryan waiting for your answer,” Alex spoke breathlessly.
Adam blinked his eyes repeatedly and breathed deeply to calm his nerves. He swallowed hard to keep his voice steady. “I appreciate your kind offer, Ryan, but modelling isn’t really my thing. I’m sorry.”
In secret triumph, Alex’s chauvinistic self was thumping his chest with his closed fists like he was the king of the world. Adam did not disappoint him. He knew from the get-go that Adam would turn down Ryan’s offer. The look of disappointment that registered on Ryan’s face was priceless. Nothing tasted better than sweet victory served on a silver platter, especially when it was making him extra horny.
Adding insult to injury, Alex became more amorous and started nuzzling Adam’s neck and roaming his hands all over him ignoring his husband’s discomfort and restrained struggles. A quick glance at Ryan showed Alex that his ploy to unsettle his cocky friend was working.
Ryan uncomfortably loosened his tie as he suddenly found it difficult to breathe. He felt the tightening of muscles in his lower belly and to his immense surprise, a hard bulge had formed in his groin. The scene of Alex molesting his unwilling husband had initially repulsed him but after a while it became unexpectedly erotic and hot and he was mesmerized at the sensuality of the act.
“Please, Alex… stop.” Adam was almost in tears with humiliation. His awkward position could not give him enough leverage to avoid Alex’s greedy mouth ravaging his neck, and groping fingers that were pinching his nipples over the thin fabric of his shirt.
Alex peeked at his friend and he saw Ryan’s wild libidinous eyes watching them with grave interest with his mouth agape and almost drooling.
“Ryan, I believe Adam made himself quite clear. The answer is no. Now if you don’t mind, I need to have my personal time with Adam.” Alex said with an air of superiority.
Ryan was nonplussed. What he witnessed was delightfully hotter than watching porn. Unfortunately, it seemed his challenge had backfired. Not only did he not get Adam to say yes, he was also the one who ended up hot and bothered.
Finding the humor in his situation, Ryan guffawed and shook his head in surrender. “Okay, you’re a lucky son of a bitch, Alex. I got to hand it to you, but I hate to say this old pal, one of these days your luck will run out.”
As soon as Ryan was out the door, Alex’s finger pressed the intercom and in a voice filled with urgency said, “Kara, cancel all my appointments. I don’t want to be disturbed.
In one swift move, he lifted Adam effortlessly and set him on his desk. His hand slid under Adam’s thighs and jerked him forward against his body. The sudden maneuver made Adam gasped in surprise and his eyes widened in disbelief.
“I want you now.” Alex’s breath fanned Adam’s face.
Adam shivered as he stared into Alex’s eyes that were smoldering with desire. “Alex, please, not here…” Adam paused when Alex’s eyes narrowed in warning.
Like a predator, Alex lunged at Adam and thrust his tongue inside his mouth. One arm wrapped around his waist to pull him close and the other free hand desperately tugged at his hair to deepen the kiss. The tongue explored Adam’s mouth, kissing him hard and deep, drowning his pleas. Adept fingers quickly unbuttoned Adam’s shirt and persistent lips moved down his throat nipping and sucking the skin.
“I want to be inside of you so bad.”
Fingers gripped Adam’s hair tighter and tugged it with more force to expose the side of his neck. Teeth suddenly sank into the hollow of his throat.
All at once Adam’s fingers clutched Alex’s upper arm as he jerked forward in surprise, slamming his body hard against Alex, and squeezing him between his thighs.
Every nerve ending in Alex’s body was alight with fire. He yanked Adam’s shirt and pulled it off. Grabbing Adam from under his arm he easily lifted him off the table and set him down to stand on his feet. He quickly turned him around to face the desk.
“Bend over.” Alex was breathing heavily as he drew Adam’s hand together and carefully pushed him down flat on his desk with his face on his folded arms.
“Lie still and don’t move.”
The authority in Alex’s command was like invisible shackles that restrained Adam to the desk that felt cold and hard under his naked torso. He gritted his teeth to swallow all his words of protests knowing they would all fall on deaf ears. To challenge his husband while in this demanding mood would heighten his desire to dominate even more so he did his best to lay still.
Adam shivered as Alex’s hands snaked around his hips to undo his belt and unbutton his fly. He squeezed his eyes shut when Alex very slowly stripped him naked. He heard Alex’s sharp intake of breath followed by hands that spread his cheeks. Adam’s breath hitched when a wet and eager tongue licked his entrance. Oh no! The intimate act caught Adam off-guard. His body recoiled and his skin was soon alight in flames when the tongue probed deeper inside him.
He clenched his fists tight as the tongue pushed repeatedly in and out of his entrance. Please stop! No! Adam pleaded inwardly. He refused to fall to the dark and dangerous path Alex was leading him to. His husband’s predilection for unorthodox sex frightened him. He was terrified just thinking about what it could mean to him in the future: public sex, sadomasochism, bondage, sex toys, even slavery.
“Hmm, you are fucking mouthwatering.”
Fingers gradually sank inside him and stretched him wider, pulling in and out of him, taking no prisoner.
Seeing Adam trembling in fear and so ready for him, Alex excitedly kicked off his pants, positioned himself from behind and slowly eased himself inside. He closed his eyes and got lost in the delicious sensation of having Adam all around him. His body felt like it was about to combust. He slowly opened his eyes and watched Adam take him in and out of his tight heat and he fell apart in an explosive orgasm, pumping his load inside his body, screaming Adam’s name and falling hard on top of him.
“You fucking wore me out, baby. Now I think it’s time to eat,” Alex suddenly pulled out and Adam winced, feeling sore all over.
Alex leaned forward to whisper to his ear, “I want you to lie on your back and place your feet on the chair’s armrest. We just finished the entrée, now it’s time for dessert.” Alex expertly pulled up his pants and walked half naked across the office. He stopped by the couch and took a large cushion from it before removing a cup from the fridge.
Adam slowly lifted himself up from the table and stood nervously between the desk and the chair thinking of a way to escape more of Alex’s sex games. He did not know what Alex was up to this time and he was not looking forward to finding out. He stiffened as Alex’s naked torso brushed up from behind. His eyes followed the cushion as it was placed in the middle part of the desk and then they wandered off nervously to the cup of ice cream that was placed on the edge of the desk.
He held his breath in trepidation when Alex guided him to his new position, sprawled naked on the desk, legs spread apart with his feet resting on the chair’s armrest.
“I want you to watch me, Adam.” Alex sat with his face between Adam’s thighs. He scooped a ball of ice cream and placed it on Adam’s belly right above the top of the nest of fine soft hair.
The cold contact momentarily froze Adam’s body. He watched helplessly as it quickly melted on his heated skin. Adam’s eyes widened when Alex started licking the ice cream that dripped to the side of his hips.
Alex slowly lapped the creamy, sticky liquid, darting his long tongue as it moved from one side of his hip going across the belly to the other side slurping eagerly and not stopping until he had wiped Adam’s belly clean.
Desire pooled in Adam’s groin. He wanted to die in shame when Alex’s face broke into a wide triumphant grin after seeing his hard erection. His body had betrayed him once again. Alex’s expert tongue made every fiber of his overstimulated body tingle to a dizzying height and it felt like his whole body was alight in flames.
Alex paid no heed to Adam’s squirming as he coated his erection with the frozen dessert. He slowly licked it like a Popsicle, dragging his tongue up and down the length. His lips slowly came down on it not stopping until his nose nuzzled Adam’s hair. Alex inhaled him deeply and a deep sound of satisfaction hummed deep in his throat.
The squeeze Adam’s head received when it touched the base of Alex’s throat made him bucked to bury his length deeper. He bit his arm to muffle his deep moans of arousal.
Alex held his hips down against the desk to keep him still as he began to suck him relentlessly.
Oh no! Adam could already feel his body tightening. He could feel his climax coming. But before he could reach it, Alex suddenly stopped sucking, stood up, and bent over him.
“This time, I’ll fuck you fast and hard.”
In one strong quick thrust, Alex slammed himself deep inside Adam.
Adam choked back a cry of surprise as Alex penetrated him again. Adam felt completely filled.
“I want you to feel me here for days.”
Alex closed his eyes, revelling in the sweet warm tightness enveloping him. He pulled out slowly and buried himself again inside to make Adam adjust to his size. Then he pounded him hard, thrusting straight and deep until he was completely buried to the hilt. After the punishing speed, he would slow down to sink again gradually while his hips gyrated to fill Adam deeper and longer.
The repeated actions would bring Adam so close to his peak only to be brought back down again in a torturous cycle, making him ache for release.
Adam was exhausted. He was clawing at the smooth surface of the desk scrambling for a firm grip as Alex fucked him relentlessly. He grabbed the edge of the desk as Alex continued pounding into his body.
Feeling his climax was close, Alex gripped Adam’s wrist and pulled him close to meet his forceful thrusts.
“Please, Alex.” Adam was already drained from the seemingly roller coaster ride he was being forced to endure. Adam could feel the pressure building up again inside his belly. He was like a tightly coiled spring poised to release an explosive orgasm. Every inch of his body was burning for sexual release.
Alex bent forward and pinned Adam’s body against the desk. His hands pressed his head to the cushion and he fucked him over and over again. “Come for me, baby.”
Adam’s body convulsed when he finally reached his climax at the same time that Alex released inside him. Alex’s lips covered Adam’s mouth to swallow his screams.
Alex held Adam tight until both their bodies had stopped quivering. He planted his palms beside Adam and slowly lifted himself up to gaze down at his husband.
Adam had passed out in exhaustion and tears wet the side of his eyes. Alex gently raked his fingers through his disheveled hair and marvelled at his breathtaking beauty. He leaned down, kissed his slightly parted lips and whispered against his mouth, “I love you, Adam.”
A loud annoying voice invaded his thoughts and dragged him back to the present time.
“Alex, are you listening to me?”
Alex resented Ryan even more for failing to do his job. In response, Alex glared at him. “Yes, Ryan, I heard you. You were competently explaining to me how it’s possible that despite all our combined resources, Adam could still end up missing.”
Ryan took a deep breath and finally gave up on his effort to sugarcoat the situation. His friend deserved to know the truth even if it would hurt him so he decided to just say what was really on his mind.
“Clearly, your husband doesn’t want to be found, Alex. He covered his trail well.” The glint in Alex’s eyes made Ryan quickly add, “Of course, that is not to say my boys will not find him. It will just take a while.”
“I know it’s none of my business, Alex, but as a concerned friend, if you want Adam to stay, you have to ease up a bit. Your husband has a free spirit and…,” he paused as if unsure of what he was about to say, “he has an inner light that draws people to him. I know it can be blinding at times,” he chuckled nervously before continuing, “so you need to step back to appreciate it from a distance. Constantly hovering over him smothers that light and could even extinguish it.” Ryan took a deep breath and hoped that he had put some sense in his friend.
Alex’s reply was cold and terse, “You’re right,” he paused and strongly added, “it is none of your business.”
Ryan shook his head. “Oh come on, Alex! Are you trying to say I’m wrong? For Christ’s sake, just try for one short second to swallow your damn pride and admit for once that this time, I’m right.” When Alex’s face remained stern, Ryan gave up but not before uttering his last warning, “Sooner or later, your stubbornness will be your downfall.”
Alex turned his back to Ryan. He stood unmoving as his eyes swept across the grandiose view of the skyline through the glass panels of his office that towered over everything else below. The backdrop of his magnificent palace had always reminded him of his power and riches. Strangely, it did not move him the way it had done unfailingly in the past. Today it simply paled in comparison to Adam’s beauty and the feeling of happiness he felt every time he was around him.
His world had amazingly shifted and he did not even know it. His husband had slowly crept into his life, short circuiting his brain and invading all his senses with his blinding beauty, his soft smooth skin, his sweet scent, his musical laughter, and his delectable taste, leaving no room left for anything else.
When Adam left, he took away everything that mattered to him. Adam had clearly become the center of his universe, his only happy place. He had made him feel alive again and it was fucking scaring the shit out of him.
Although he would not directly admit it to Ryan, Alex knew his friend was right. Without turning to look at him, Alex said in a low but resolute voice, “Ryan, I don’t care if you have to turn the world upside down to find him. Just do it.”
