Misunderstandings
Chapter Eight
"It's all very well and good for you, I'm dressed like a normal person. But how the heck am I s'posed to get you outta all that darned roman armour?"
Octavius rolled his eyes and stood up, leaving a confused and frowning Jedediah lying on the floor.
"Where are you goin'?" The cowboy enquired, sitting up to look at the other man.
"I'm not going anywhere Jedediah. But as you just pointed out, removing my armour requires rather a bit more effort than removing your clothes would. I figured that, for the sake of saving precious time, I'd just perform this task for you. There will be time later for you to learn to do it yourself."
Jedediah grinned roguishly, "You sayin' you're gonna strip for me Octy?"
"Wha- No- That's not- I mean, I didn't intend-" Octavius stammered, his face bright red.
While Octavius was busy being embarrassed, Jed leaned backwards and made himself comfortable.
"Jedediah..." Octavius started, "Do you think you could possibly look the other way?"
"Aw, you can't go all shy on me now partner. I'm lookin' forward to the show." He protested, sighing in exasperation when Octavius glared at him, "Fine, I ain't lookin'." With a disappointed pout on his face, Jed stood up and turned to look the other way.
Knowing that Jedediah was almost guaranteed to ignore his wishes and turn back around, Octavius made quick work of removing his armour and the rest of his clothing along with it. Smirking, he silently walked up behind the unaware cowboy and wrapped his arms around him, pinning Jed's own arms to his sides.
Leaning in, so his lips were almost touching the other man's ear, he whispered, "Now, my friend, it seems I am the one who is at a complete disadvantage, at least as far as our apparel is concerned."
Jed moaned as he felt Octavius' breath ghosting across his skin. The roman pressed up against the cowboy's back, letting him feel the rather large proof of his partner's arousal. He then took Jed's earlobe into his mouth and gently sucked it before giving it a sharp nip, causing Jed to moan even louder. Suddenly the cowboy wrenched his arms free and jumped forward before spinning around indignantly.
"Now hold on a second, I ain't no girl!" He exclaimed, the words dying on his lips as he was faced with a completely naked Octavius.
"I believe this is the part where you remove your clothes Jedediah." Octavius stated as Jed stood there, his eyes wide.
"Uh... yeah... Right!" He finally snapped out of it and quickly started unbuttoning his shirt.
However, he seemed very confused and also simultaneously tried to take off his pants and shoes. The end result was Octavius looking on, trying not to laugh, as Jed hopped around like a crazy person before falling backwards and landing on his ass. Octavius took advantage of the situation and swooped down, capturing Jed's lips and kissing him passionately. He finished unbuttoning Jed's shirt and pushed it open, revealing his smooth, tanned chest. Looking into his breathless lover's eyes Octavius smirked and lowered his head, taking one of Jed's nipples and softly tonguing it while expertly pinching and squeezing the other one with his fingers. Jedediah gasped as Octavius' free hand ran inside his shirt and down his side before reaching the waistband of his pants. He threw his head back and moaned loudly when the roman teasingly kneaded his cock through the fabric, all while continuing his attention to Jedediah's now erect nipples.
"Oc... Octavius..." Jedediah gasped.
At the mention of his name Octavius suddenly stopped all his actions and leaned back, looking down at the dishevelled and very aroused cowboy below him.
"Why'd you stop Octy?"
"Because Jedediah, you are still partially clothed while my own attire has long since been removed. This is tremendously unfair on me, wouldn't you say?"
Looking into his love's eyes Jedediah realised what the roman was doing, and he had to admit he was grateful for it. For they were on uneven footing, though to be honest it was Jedediah who'd found himself at a complete disadvantage. Octavius may be wearing less clothes (or rather, no clothes), but that had actually allowed him to gain a slight upper-hand in the situation. This was his way of giving Jed the chance to 'catch up'; something that showed how very much Octavius viewed Jedediah as his equal. It was a gesture that caused the little cowboy's heart to melt, though he'd never say it out loud.
He grinned and pulled off his shirt, "You're right Octy. I think we should remedy the situation immediately."
