Dear merciful Axel on a spoon… It's the shortest chapter yet, but also the smuttiest. Enjoy, and we will be tuned to your regularly scheduled ZackCloud next week.

"Could this even be defined as christening the bed?"

Zack chuckles and eyes me, up and down. "Could be."

How the hell did he get me naked? Fuck, fuck… Well, it's not like I can do this clothed. Zack is freaking ripped though. I'd love to know what kind of summer job he had. It's not like he's gross in the muscle department. Think Adonis, think swimmer's muscle.

"Zack, have you ever done this before?" He raises a brow at me. "I mean, like, with other guys?"

"Yeah." Zack lifts the blankets and snuggles under.

"H-How many?"

"Aside from you? Two."

I should be outraged, but that's about how many girls I've had sex with. Whatever. "You're wearing a condom while we do this."

"I promise I don't have anything, Cloud."

And, the thing is that, even though my parents had always said that all gays were sick guys infested with all kinds of AIDS, I believed him. Nonetheless, "You're wearing a condom. And so am I for that matter."

"Be my guest. It's not like rubbers ruin it for me." After wrapping his, I wrap mine and join him on the bed.

Zack waits until I lay down on the bed before he kisses me again. Slow and hard and his hands are moving all over my back. It's almost like he's massaging me from the front until his hands drift onto my ass and squeeze.

"ACK! Zack!"

"You've got a nice ass, Cloud."

"Gee, thanks…"

The air gets heavier when Zack looks me in the eyes and says, "You sure you want to do this?"

I was completely honest when I said, "I've never been more sure of anything."

"How do you want this?"

"I always assumed there was just one position."

Zack looks like he's about to laugh. "Nope. There's a lot of ways to do this. Which way do you want it?"

He acts like I know the names of these sex positions. Oh, give it to me all dirty whiteboard style, I can take it. God… "The least painful way, I guess… How did we do it last night?"

"You were on your back."

"That works? Thought only girls did that."

"Nope. Want it like that again?"

I take a minute to think on it, but I say, "Yeah." Zack gets up between my legs and pulls the blankets at least over our waist. Probably smart. He reaches his hand under there and then I feel something blunt and thick poking at me. Oh sweet Jesus, that's his… That's his dick. God… "Did we have any lube last time?"

"No, I didn't have any. Do you?"

"No…" Like I expected to do this.

"Okay, these condoms are pre-lubricated, but not by much. I'll go slow, alright?" And then he puts it in.

"Ow, ow ow! Fuck! Hurts…"

Zack jolts a little, not making the pain much better, then leans down and kisses me. When he breaks away, he nuzzles his face into my neck and says, "It'll be okay, Cloud. I'm being gentle."

I feel awful for every girl who ever said, "This is my first time."

After a small eternity of what he calls "stretching" I feel something vaguely wirey brush against my ass. Pubes, which means he's all the way in. Ow… Fuck… Not comfy at all. "It's in all the way?"

"Basically."

"Then start moving."

"Sure it's not gonna hurt too bad?"

"Yes. Go!"

Zack thrusts forward and hits… something. Oh God, something. I cry out. "Zack, what the hell was that?"

"Your prostate." He murmurs against my collarbone. "Soon to be your new best friend."

"I like it. Go again." He obliges me and, oh god, it's heaven. "Mmmmnnnn…" I look at Zack for his face. His eyes are closed but he looks like he's working hard. I know that look, he's trying to hold out for me.

He started off slow and gentle, like I wanted, but now his thrusts are getting harder, faster and every little jab is hitting that beautiful place inside me. "Oh, God, Zack! Zack!"

"C-Cloud! Cloud, I love you!" Somjething firey hot, his seed, fills me up just as I come. We look at each other, trying to catch our breathes. Oh my God…

"I meant what I said back there."

"When?"

"Just before I came." He's sitting up against the wall, running those fingers of his through my hair. "That I love you."

"I love you too."

"I know. And I love hearing it."
