"You were very good, indeed," Elijah murmured beside Asher's ear as he tore open the packet of lube and squeezed half of it directly onto Asher's crack. "I would say there's a good boy if I didn't think you were going to twist that into something awful."

But hadn't he said it anyway?

He put the lube on the bed for a moment, to wait there for when he would need it again before one of his hands returned to the mess between Asher's ass cheeks, sliding through it before he slipped one finger inside him without much of a warning. It wouldn't remain just one finger for long but soon there was two, stretching him patiently with slow plunging thrusts while Elijah reached up to cup the back of Asher's neck with his free hand and pulled him down into a breathless kiss.
