When Greg woke Mycroft was still firmly wrapped around him. He grinned when he remembered the previous night; Mycroft's hot, thin body pressed against his own; Mycroft's tight heat squeezing around him; Mycroft begging to be fucked, spanked, dominated.
He shuffled about on the large bed- still amazed they even came in this size- and looked down at the sleeping teenager. It didn't take long for Mycroft to snort awake, aware even while asleep that someone was watching him.
He peeled a sleepy eye open and blinked a bit before settling his bright blue irises on Greg. He smiled and yawned, unwrapping himself from Greg and stretching.
'How you feeling?' Greg asked, well aware that he'd fucked Mycroft rather hard.
'Mm...' Mycroft moaned, rolling his neck. 'My arse hurts.'
'Sorry.'
Mycroft chuckled and leaned across the bed, pressing his lips against Greg's. 'No, it's good; very good.'
'Yeah?' Greg asked when they broke apart.
'Best sex ever,' Mycroft smiled.
Greg smiled back, but there was a little niggling in the back of his mind. He didn't think he could constantly dominate Mycroft. It was fun, yeah, and something Mycroft definitely needed, but being a full-time dom just wasn't Greg. He preferred being on the bottom, and he just didn't get off on domination enough to do it to his boyfriend all the time.
Mycroft sensed his worry and leaned forward again, this time for a hard, passionate kiss that had Greg gasping. Suddenly Greg was forced onto his back, Mycroft climbing onto his lap and pushing himself forward.
Their semi-hard cocks rubbed together and Greg groaned, thoughts suddenly vanishing as Mycroft expertly got him to full hardness. When they had to break apart for air Mycroft reached for the lube, only to find it wasn't on the bedside table.
'Where's the lubricant?' he asked.
Greg blinked up at him, dazed, and tried to remember where he'd left it the night before. 'Um...'
Mycroft climbed off his boyfriend and crawled across the bed looking. Greg wanted to help, really he did, but Mycroft's arse was right there; what else was he supposed to do but stare at it?
Finally Mycroft found the bottle and sighed, leaning back and showing Greg. They'd squished it sometime during their romp last night and the gel had exploded all over the mattress and sheets, leaving a large, semi-dried stain on the blanket.
'Um... sorry,' Greg mumbled. 'You got more, right?'
'You owe me another tube, got that?' Mycroft said as he climbed off the bed. He disappeared into his walk-in wardrobe, eventually coming back with an un-opened bottle. He pulled the plastic off the top and tossed that aside while flipping the cap open.
He re-positioned himself on Greg's lap and kissed him as he slicked up the older teen's digits.
'You sure?' Greg asked when they broke apart. 'I fucked you pretty-'
Mycroft sealed their lips back together, smiling when he drew back. 'Yes, Greg, I'm sure.'
'M'kay, just don't complain when you can't walk without remembering my dick in your arse,' Greg said, wrapping one arm around Mycroft's back and pulling him forward.
Mycroft braced himself on his hands as Greg's fingers slid between his cheeks, quickly finding his entrance and rubbing. He moaned loudly when Greg's index finger breached him, soon swallowed to the knuckle.
Mycroft was still loose from last night but Greg wanted to make sure he didn't hurt his partner. So he pulled his finger out before going back in and pressed his lips to Mycroft's warm neck, kissing and licking as he added another finger.
After burying three fingers into Mycroft, Greg finally drew back. He grabbed the lube and Mycroft shifted so Greg could slick himself up. When he was done he put the tube on the bedside table and said, 'See? No more spills.'
Mycroft chuckled and kissed him again before grabbing Greg's cock and moving it to his entrance. After a bit of shifting Greg was pushing in, both moaning as he was slowly but surely swallowed by Mycroft's heat.
Mycroft came to a rest atop his boyfriend and rolled his hips, stifling another moan when Greg moved inside him.
'Okay?' Greg asked, rubbing Mycroft's hips.
'Mm,' Mycroft nodded. It still felt... different, Mycroft thought. He'd been penetrated plenty of times (though he did prefer to top) and each and every time it was fine, it was... nice, and it got him off (for the most part). But it was never satisfying, never good enough. There was always something... missing.
But with Greg it felt right, perfect, absolutely amazing. Greg wasn't even moving and Mycroft still felt more turned on than he ever had in his life.
'Mycroft?' Greg questioned, sounding worried.
Mycroft looked down and smiled, pulling up a bit before dropping back down. Greg groaned and wrapped a hand around Mycroft's neck, tugging him down for a kiss.
'You okay?' he asked again.
'Fine,' Mycroft said. He braced himself against Greg's toned chest and started moving, drawing himself up and down Greg's thick, rock-hard cock. He let out a moan as Greg grabbed his hips, rocking back and forth slowly. 'Fuck, Greg.'
Greg grinned and moved a bit faster, hands rubbing up and down Mycroft's sides and making the taller boy shiver.
Mycroft bent down to seal their lips together, the two licking into each other's mouths as they had sex. Mycroft's hands pressed to the bed either side of Greg's head and he moaned when Greg planted both feet on the bed and started thrusting up.
'Oh fuck,' Mycroft grunted.
'You're so beautiful,' Greg said, breathing becoming heavy as Mycroft kissed and licked his jaw. 'Fuck, Mycroft.'
Mycroft shuddered violently at the use of his full name; another thing that had never happened before. Everyone knew him as Mikey, or just you. He'd never been called Mycroft during sex and for some reason it made everything just that much better.
'Mycroft,' Greg moaned again when Mycroft started moving faster, rolling his hips to fuck himself on Greg's shaft. 'Jesus Christ, you're so tight.'
Mycroft grunted against Greg's neck, eyes shut as he was assaulted by pleasure. He let out a yelp when Greg flipped them, Mycroft suddenly on his back with Greg between his legs. Greg slid back in and snapped his hips, cock hitting Mycroft's prostate and making him cry out.
'God, look at you,' Greg breathed as he kissed and licked at Mycroft's neck, his jaw. 'You're so fucking beautiful, Mycroft, just... fuck.'
Mycroft wrapped his legs around Greg's waist, his arms around his neck, and drew him in for a sloppy, passionate kiss. 'F-Fuck me, Greg,' he begged. 'Please, fuck me.'
Greg grinned and started moving faster, snapping his hips to bury himself in Mycroft's heat. His left hand pushed beneath Mycroft's back and lifted him so they could continue kissing, chests pressed together. His other hand slid down Mycroft's over-heated skin before wrapping around his cock and pulling.
'Oh God,' Mycroft whimpered, breaking their kiss to press his face against Greg's neck. 'Fuck, Greg, fucking hell!'
Greg was beyond intelligent words now, instead just grunting and moaning as Mycroft's muscles tightened around him, as Mycroft breathed heavily in his ear and pressed his sweat-soaked body against Greg's own.
Mycroft sank his teeth into Greg's neck as he came, muscles clamping down and come shooting between their stomachs. Greg managed two more thrusts before he was coming with a strangled, 'M-Mycroft!'
He emptied himself into the slack body beneath his, panting heavily as he slowly lowered Mycroft back to the bed. Mycroft watched with sated eyes as Greg grabbed more tissues to clean them up.
When he was done he flopped onto the bed, staring at the ceiling as he tried to get his breathing under control.
'I've never had morning sex,' Greg commented. 'Definitely nice.'
Mycroft chuckled before quickly sobering, tugging at the sheets beneath him. 'I was worried,' he admitted softly.
'Worried?' Greg echoed.
'Mm,' Mycroft nodded. 'I thought maybe normal sex with you wouldn't be as good as the domination/submission sex.'
Greg chewed on his lip, turning to stare at Mycroft with worry mounting in his chest. When it exploded to full-panic he said, 'A-And?'
Mycroft turned to look at him and Greg stared into his eyes, looking for the answer, but as usual finding nothing. And then Mycroft grinned and kissed him, a hard, passionate kiss that made Greg's stomach flip and his cock threaten to harden again.
When they broke apart Mycroft pecked a quick kiss to Greg's lips and said, 'It was amazing.'
'R-Really?' Greg asked, still worried.
'It was... it was great, Greg,' Mycroft said. 'Honestly, it was just as good as you dominating me and fucking me into the mattress. I've never enjoyed sex as much as I do with you.'
Greg breathed a sigh of relief and buried his face in Mycroft's neck, Mycroft chuckling and wrapping his arms around the brown-eyed teen.
'Thank God,' Greg mumbled. 'I was worried too.'
'It was... good for you, right?' Mycroft asked.
Greg snorted. 'Like the noises I made weren't enough.' He leaned up to kiss Mycroft softly, smiling at him. 'Yeah, it was fuckin' fantastic. Best. Sex. Ever.'
'Even the normal sex?' Mycroft asked.
'Mm-hmm, best,' Greg nodded. 'I love being on the bottom, but fucking you is definitely in my top five favourite things of all time.'
Mycroft snorted and pulled Greg back in for a hug and soft kiss. When they broke apart Mycroft whispered, 'How about some more fantastic sex?'
'Oh my God, you're the best boyfriend ever,' Greg groaned, pulling him in again and ignoring Mycroft's giggle.
{oOo}
Greg didn't realise how early it was until after their second round of sex... or third round, depending on how you looked at it. Mycroft counted a quick handjob, followed by a blowjob and some fingers in the bathroom, as sex. Greg didn't care either way; as long as he got to touch Mycroft, the younger boy could call it whatever the hell he wanted.
When they went downstairs to get some food- sex really worked up an appetite- Greg pulled his mobile from the pyjama bottoms Mycroft had lent him and found that it was just after seven.
'Wow.'
'What?' Mycroft asked as they walked into the kitchen.
Greg had to pause a moment to really take in the kitchen. It was... fucking big. The floor beneath them was tiled white and black, the walls were painted a dull grey, and all the surfaces were shiny silver atop wood. The cupboards, both above and beneath the benches, were a dark varnished wood, and the fridge was a massive double-doored thing that could easily fit Greg and Mycroft.
'Gregory?' Mycroft said.
Greg tore his eyes away from the large windows that showed the beautiful grounds and turned back to Mycroft. 'Sorry, um... yeah?'
'Why did you say wow?' Mycroft asked.
'Aah... oh, it's just early,' Greg said. He waved his phone. 'Ten past seven.'
'Really?' Mycroft mused while he went to the fridge. 'I'd have thought it was later.'
'Yeah, we kinda tired ourselves out last night,' Greg said. He leaned against the table in the middle of the kitchen and watched Mycroft bend slightly as he looked in the fridge. 'And this morning,' he grinned.
Mycroft looked over his shoulder and Greg waggled his eyebrows. The red-head smirked and turned back to the fridge. 'We did, didn't we?' he hummed.
'Mm-hmm,' Greg nodded.
Mycroft chuckled. 'What do you want for breakfast?' he asked.
'Hum...' Greg walked around the counter and approached Mycroft. He stood beside his boyfriend and folded his arms across his naked chest; the cool air from the fridge was making his nipples hard and he shifted uncomfortably. Damn Mycroft for wearing a shirt, Greg thought bitterly.
'Gregory?'
'Sorry,' Greg blinked.
Mycroft snickered. 'What's wrong with you?'
'Um... you shagged me so hard I've lost some brain cells,' he grinned.
Mycroft snorted and asked, again, 'What do you want for breakfast?'
'Er... anythin', I don't care,' Greg shrugged. 'What do you want?'
'Well I can't cook,' Mycroft admitted. He turned back to the fridge and pursed his lips. 'So it's toast... or cereal.'
Greg smiled. 'I can cook if you want.'
'Really?'
'Yeah,' Greg nodded. 'Whatever you want, I don't mind.'
'Are you sure?' Mycroft asked. When Greg nodded again, he said, 'Okay...'
'So what do you want?'
'Erm... pancakes?' Mycroft tried hesitantly.
Greg beamed and kissed his partner quickly. 'Pancakes coming up.'
Mycroft sat off to the side while Greg whipped together the batter and cooked. It became clear early on that the elder Holmes couldn't be trusted to help; he'd broken three eggs, dropped the milk, and almost over-turned the mixing-bowl. It was safer for Mycroft to sit this out.
Greg didn't have his iPod with him and had to make do playing songs from his smartphone. He bounced around and bopped his head, sang when he knew the words and hummed when he didn't. The entire time Mycroft watched him with bright eyes and a smile, wondering just how the hell he'd got lucky enough to end up with Greg Lestrade.
What Mycroft could do was make coffee and set the table. Because there was only two of them, Mycroft put plates on the table in the middle of the kitchen and carried two stools across the room. He put jam, butter, and syrup out- remembering that Greg liked all three- and worked the expensive espresso maker until the rich scent of coffee hung thickly in the air.
Soon enough Greg had set large stacks of pancakes on a plate and carried them to the table. The two took a corner each so they could lean over their breakfast for sneaky kisses and talk without raising their voices too much.
Mycroft placed two pancakes on his plate while Greg did the same, and the genius spread a large amount of strawberry jam over his own. Greg dug his knife into the butter, then the jam, and topped it off by squeezing the syrup bottle until it spewed amber liquid all over his fluffy pancakes.
Licking his lips, Greg dove straight in while Mycroft sipped his coffee. 'You're a lunatic,' the red-head commented.
'Mmf, buff yoor datin' mee,' Greg mumbled around his large mouthful.
Mycroft smiled and set his mug down before leaning across the table. He used his thumb to swipe a stray dollop of syrup from the corner of Greg's mouth. Before he could lick his thumb clean Greg beat him to it; he leapt forward and sucked Mycroft's digit into his mouth, sucking back hard, tongue licking over the tip.
Mycroft felt a moan escape his lips and Greg smirked as he pulled back with a wet erotic sound. 'Mm, yummy,' he grinned.
Well... Mycroft couldn't let that go, could he? Not after the hot, rough, absolutely mind-blowing sex he and Greg had had the night before. And definitely not after the tender, comfortable, and still mind-blowing sex they'd had that morning.
And the blowjob.
And handjob.
And fingers.
Before Greg could even turn back to his pancakes, Mycroft was grabbing him by the back of the neck and tugging him over the table. Mycroft closed the rest of the distance and mashed his mouth against Greg's.
He crushed their lips together and Greg gasped in surprise, giving Mycroft the access he needed; his tongue thrust straight into the brunette's mouth and twisted with Greg's tongue, making the older boy moan and quickly melt.
Greg pressed one hand to the table top and the other grabbed Mycroft by the hair to keep him in place. The two quickly lost themselves to the kiss, neither registering the awkward position they were in; leaning over the table, the edges digging into their stomachs, the stools slowly sliding away from them along the tiles.
They didn't notice Mrs Hudson and Mr Andrew walking into the kitchen from the other door either. But when Mr Andrew burst into laughter and Mrs Hudson said, 'Oh, dear!' they quickly broke apart and turned, faces flushed, breathing ragged.
'M-Mrs Hudson,' Mycroft stuttered and stumbled back from Greg. He tripped over his stool and would have gone tumbling to the floor if Greg hadn't reached out and grabbed him by the shirt.
He yanked Mycroft back up and once again they pressed against each other.
'Er...' Greg tried while he slowly let Mycroft go.
Mycroft blushed furiously and Mr Andrew snickered. 'So... Gregory, what are you doing here this early?' the man asked. His eyes skimmed down the teenager's body. 'And half-naked, too?'
Greg joined Mycroft in turning red. Mrs Hudson turned and slapped Mr Andrew lightly on the stomach. 'No need to be mean, Jethro. They're both old enough to make their own decisions.'
Mr Andrew just smirked and walked over to the coffee machine, adjusting his robe as he did. Mrs Hudson was dressed similarly and waved Mycroft aside when the older Holmes tried to move.
'Stay where you are, dears, we're just here for breakfast,' she said.
Mycroft glanced at Greg, who gave him a "what-do-you-want-me-to-do?" look. Mycroft swallowed thickly but sat back down on his stool.
'I made pancakes,' Greg said. Mrs Hudson turned from where she was making tea and Mr Andrew raised both eyebrows over the rim of his coffee mug. Greg cleared his throat and gestured at the large stacks of pancakes sitting between him and Mycroft. 'There's enough for everyone.'
'Thank you, Gregory,' Mrs Hudson beamed. She took a plate from above the sink and said, 'Jethro, are you having pancakes?"
'I suppose,' the cook/butler/handyman said. He grabbed two more stools and dragged them over to table before going back for his coffee.
The four sat in silence- well Greg, Mycroft and Mr Andrew were silent, Mrs Hudson was prattling on about this and that, not in the least bit embarrassed- and ate their breakfast.
'These are delicious, Gregory,' Mrs Hudson praised.
'Thank you,' Greg replied.
'Where did you learn to cook like this?' the woman asked.
Greg blinked at her. 'Er... nowhere.'
Mr Andrew raised an eyebrow and pointed his fork at his almost clean plate. 'You're telling me you taught yourself how to make these?'
'Well... my mum taught me how to, you know, mix everythin',' Greg said. 'When I was growin' up it was cheaper to buy the separate ingredients instead of the pre-made batter, 'cause we could use the eggs and flour and all that for other stuff for other things. But I kinda started mixin' it in my own way and cookin' stuff the way I liked it when I was nine.'
'He's an excellent cook, apparently,' Mycroft added. He remembered how Maggie had praised her son's culinary talents when they'd had dinner.
Greg shrugged. 'M'not bad,' he mumbled.
'Have you considered becoming a chef?' Mr Andrew asked. 'You're very talented.'
'They're just pancakes,' Greg blushed. 'And I like cooking, but-'
'You don't love it?' Mr Andrew interrupted.
'Yeah,' Greg nodded. 'I mean, I could probably make a lot of money, or at least enough to get by, but... I don't wanna do somethin' I hate. I saw what that did to my mum.'
Mycroft frowned. 'What do you mean?'
'She only became a nurse... six years ago,' Greg told the group. 'She wanted to be one when she was younger but got pregnant with me. And my old man wouldn't let her work- said a woman's place was in the house.' He wrinkled his nose at that, eyes dark, but continued. 'And bein' a single mum, she didn't have time to study and stuff. But when I got older and could take care of myself she started goin' to classes and eventually graduated. And now she works at the hospital.
'She's a lot happier then she was before,' Greg continued. 'She used to work odd jobs; Tesco, local cafes, warehouses, wherever she could get work, really. She could afford to put me through school and buy food and stuff but... she wasn't happy.' He blinked rapidly when he realised he'd been rambling and blushed. 'Erm... sorry.'
'That's fine, dear,' Mrs Hudson said and gave him a reassuring smile. 'It's nice that you want to do something you love.'
'What are you interested in?' Mr Andrew enquired.
Greg glanced at Mycroft, who smiled, before saying, 'Er... I kinda like sociology and... criminology.'
Mr Andrew raised an eyebrow. 'Really?' Mrs Hudson asked. 'So you want to be a police officer?'
'Yeah, maybe,' Greg nodded.
Mrs Hudson beamed and squeezed his shoulder. 'You'll make an excellent officer, my dear.'
'Detective Inspector Lestrade,' Mycroft grinned.
Greg rolled his eyes but couldn't stop the small smile that tugged at his lips. He was glad no one was laughing at him; after all, who'd ever think that Greg Lestrade, the town's number one delinquent, would ever wanna be a cop?
But Mycroft believed in him; so did Mrs Hudson and Mr Andrew and his mum. It made Greg feel like he could really do it; like he could pass his exams and get into a good college or university.
A college in Oxfordshire, he reminded himself and glanced at Mycroft. I'm not givin' him up that easily.
'What are you boys up to today?' Mrs Hudson asked after she'd once again spent ten minutes praising Greg.
'Oh, we...' Mycroft trailed off when he realised he had no idea what they were doing today. Greg snickered and Mycroft scowled at him.
'Maybe having a lazy day?' Mr Andrew suggested. 'Just... staying in bed?'
Both boys blushed furiously and Mycroft wondered just when the hell the Holmes family butler had become so... Sherlock. It was like he'd spent a month locked in a room with the younger Holmes and instead of going insane, he'd come out a sarcastic bastard.
Mycroft frowned and looked the man over. In all the years Mycroft had known him, Mr Andrew had never been this... witty. He let his eyes drift up and down the man's body before the deductions popped up in his brain. He flicked his eyes to Mrs Hudson and saw the same thing.
Mycroft pushed back from the table so fast his stool tipped over and clattered to the floor.
'Mycroft!' Mrs Hudson exclaimed.
'What's wrong?' Greg asked.
'I... uh... B-BlackBerry,' Mycroft lied. 'In... room... need it.'
He rushed off before anyone could question him further and Greg frowned.
'I think you'd better go after him,' Mr Andrew said.
'Um... yeah,' Greg nodded and got up.
'Thank you for breakfast,' Mr Andrew said.
'No worries.' Greg gave both adults a smile before trailing after his boyfriend.
'What was that about?' Mrs Hudson said as soon as she and Mr Andrew- or Jethro, as she called him- were alone.
She began picking up their dirty plates and Jethro watched her with warm brown eyes. 'I think...' he said slowly while Martha was at the sink, 'that Mycroft just figured it out.'
Martha turned to face him. 'Oh?' Jethro nodded. 'I figured he knew as soon as he saw us; he always does.'
'He was distracted,' Jethro smiled.
Martha chuckled. 'Yes, by Gregory's lips.' Jethro laughed too and watched as Martha placed the plates in the sink. Though there was a big dishwasher just to her left, Martha hated using it; unless there were a lot of dishes, she preferred doing things the old fashioned way.
She jumped slightly when she felt warm arms wind around her waist and a solid chest press against her back.
'I think the boys will be busy today,' Jethro whispered in her ear. Martha shivered slightly. 'What's say we... go back to bed?'
Martha smiled and stepped away but threaded their fingers together. Jethro grinned broadly as he was tugged from the kitchen and back to the nanny's room.
{oOo}
'Mycroft, what's wrong?' Greg asked as soon as he entered his boyfriend's room. Mycroft was lying face down on the unmade bed and moaning. 'Myc?'
'No, no, no,' Mycroft mumbled and shook his head, as though trying to bury himself deeper into the pillows.
'Mycroft, seriously,' Greg said and walked across the room. He jumped onto the bed and drew one leg under himself, the other dangling over the edge. 'What's up?'
There was a heavy pause before Mycroft murmured, 'Old people sex.'
Greg frowned. 'Wha?'
'Old people sex,' Mycroft repeated. 'Straight old people sex, in my house, right near me, just... there!'
'Er...'
'Gregory!' Mycroft shouted and was suddenly sitting and facing Greg. Greg blinked; how the hell did he move that quickly? 'Old people sex!'
'I... don't know what that means,' Greg said.
Mycroft scowled and waved his hands, as though that would make him clearer. 'Old. People. Sex,' he spat.
'I got that-'
'In my house!'
'Yeah, you said-'
'Right near my kitchen!'
'Mycroft!' Greg grabbed his partner by the face and Mycroft finally looked at him. 'Calm down, alright?' Mycroft scowled. 'What the hell are you talking about?'
Mycroft took a deep breath before speaking in a weirdly calm voice. 'I didn't notice at first because I was embarrassed about being caught snogging you in my kitchen by my nanny and cook.'
'Okay...'
'Mr Andrew and Mrs Hudson were both... relaxed.'
Greg frowned. 'Erm...'
'Relaxed, Gregory,' Mycroft said. 'Like... like we were relaxed.'
Greg blinked, staring at him, and Mycroft raised an eyebrow and gestured at the unmade bed they were sitting on.
It hit Greg like a tonne of bricks and he leapt back. 'No!'
'Yes.'
'N-No,' Greg shook his head. Mycroft nodded. 'That's... that's...' Greg scrunched up his nose. 'Ew, straight old people sex!'
'Exactly!' Mycroft practically shouted. He threw his hands up, as though Greg had just figured out some massively complex puzzle.
'Oh God, they... while we were... oh God,' Greg groaned, burying his face in his hands. 'That's... I don't wanna think about it.'
'Neither do I,' Mycroft murmured. 'I mean, good for them; they're both lovely people who deserve happiness. But-'
'I so don't wanna think about it!' Greg interrupted.
'Exactly!' Mycroft shouted again. Suddenly Greg was kissing him and Mycroft pulled back. 'Gregory?'
'No, get it outta my head, make it stop!' Greg begged. He kissed Mycroft again and the genius let himself fall back onto the bed. 'Please,' Greg begged again.
Mycroft grabbed his face and kissed him harder while thrusting up and rubbing his quickly hardening cock against his boyfriend's. Greg moaned and licked his way down Mycroft's neck before nibbling on his ear.
They quickly forgot about Mrs Hudson and Mr Andrew.
