As they settled back against the headboard, Nick chuckled. “Well, that was a new one on me.”
Lester paused in the act of reaching for the book on the bedside cabinet. “In what sense?”
“The shower. Not somewhere I’m accustomed to sexual exploits. At least, not with someone else involved.”
“Ah.” Lester sat back and regarded him.
“You look surprised.”
“I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I suppose I would have expected your lovely ex-wife at least to have a sense of adventure in that respect.”
Nick chuckled again, but more ruefully this time. “Helen’s idea of a satisfying sexual encounter was to climb on top and ride until she got what she wanted.”
Lester’s lip curled in distaste. “I’ll thank you never to put an image like that in my head ever again.”
“You brought it up.”
“Not one of my more intelligent moves, it turns out.”
“I guess I just went along with it, really,” Nick mused. “It wasn’t like I didn’t enjoy myself, after all…huh.”
“What?”
Nick mentally examined his epiphany for a few more seconds, and then admitted, “I think I’ve just realised I seem to have a habit of letting other people take charge in the bedroom.”
“A psychologist would have a field day with you,” Lester commented drily.
But Nick hadn’t missed the flash of dismay that had crossed the other man’s features, and realised some clarification was in order. “Actually, it turns out I rather like it,” he confessed.
“It seems I may have been rather selfish…”Lester started.
“James,” Nick cut him off firmly. “I just had one of the most intense orgasms of my life in there, I am very much not complaining.”
“But if you want to…”
“I don’t,” Nick said. “At least not right now. Maybe in the future, but for the moment,” he leaned closer to Lester, even though there was no one else to hear them, “I like having your cock in me.”
He could feel himself blushing, and even Lester’s cheeks had acquired a delicate flush – which was ridiculous considering what they’d been doing just ten minutes earlier.
As usual, Lester took refuge in words. “Dare I hope that this more accommodating nature might transfer itself to the workplace?” But the pleased smile that he couldn’t quite suppress rather took the sting out of the question.
Nick grinned back. “Not a chance!”
Lester sighed. “How disappointing…”
