Notes: Rufus and Nicky enjoy an afternoon together.

Risks and Wagers

Part Four

"Please, teach me."

Those three simple words sent a thrill up Rufus' spine, but he knew that he had to take care with this shy treasure or Nicky would just bolt from the room. Even now, the young man was trembling a little and a blush remained firmly on his face.

Rufus removed his jacket and spread it out across the floor. It would do well enough.

Nicky swallowed, wringing his hands together. "Won't ... won't it get ruined?"

Rufus chuckled and looked up from his seat on the jacket to regard the brunette. "And if it does?" It wasn't as if he didn't have three others like it. Even if he didn't, he had the money to replace it. "Please, sit down. Your sister went through the trouble and finances to provide us with refreshments, and I haven't had anything to eat yet today." He smiled at the way Nicky seemed to sag in relief, the timid brunette moving to sit. Of course, getting Nicky on the floor was only step one but he had to move carefully. Rufus knew there was no chance of intercourse this afternoon, but he had a few thoughts and most of them required both he and Nicky to be on the floor.

He reached up and grabbed the bag that Ana had brought in and set it down between Nicky and himself. He decided to merely enjoy Nicky's company for the few minutes they spent eating. Rufus mostly wanted Nicky to get comfortable with him, or at the very least slightly more at ease with Rufus' presence.

By the time their snack was finished, Nicky appeared a little more relaxed. His blush was slowly working its way back to his face though, and he began to chew his lower lip as he fiddled with the top of his soda can. "So what now?" he asked meekly, his eyes glued on the can in his fidgeting hands.

Rufus leaned forward, easing the soda from Nicky's shaking hold and setting far enough away that it wouldn't accidentally be knocked over. "We have a little while. Let's see how far we can take this." With that, he leaned forward and pressed his lips to Nicky's, coaxing response from the shy brunette. He delighted in the flavors of his companion, and was only slightly saddened that there would be a limit to how far he could go. As shy as Nicky was, he was unspeakably sweet and hot once coaxed a little. Still, he had given his word. A part of him respected Nicky's reluctance to go all the way with a stranger.

Once Rufus was finished thoroughly devouring that sweet little mouth, he trailed little nibbling kisses down his chin and the column of his throat, dipping his tongue into that spot just where his collarbones came to an end. Nicky gasped in reaction, his hands lying stiffly at his sides, fingers balled up tightly enough to turn his knuckles white. Rufus shifted, licking along the collarbone, up to the junction where neck met shoulder and sucked against the salty-sweet skin. While the brunette shuddered, Rufus untucked Nicky s shirt and reached his hands beneath the fabric, skillfully finding and brushing against rapidly hardening nipples.

Nicky bucked beneath him, a soft cry falling from his parted lips. If what Ana had said was true - and at the moment Rufus believed every word of it - then Nicky had denied himself even the simplest of pleasures. Rufus held no notions of trying to rid Nicky of his shyness today. The slight trembling under his fingers that had nothing to do with passion testified to the fact that it would take a long time for him to lose his nervousness. And he was sure; he'd only relax with someone he truly cared for. Rufus was just in the right place at the moment. Nicky was curious and Rufus was horny as hell. They both got what they wanted this way. Well, more or less. Rufus would be satisfied when they were finished today, he was sure of that.

So, he wouldn't get the pleasure of ridding the lovely young man of his virginity. Rufus could live with that. It didn't mean that he couldn't teach him other joys of the flesh. He pulled back from the tasting, smiling as he looked down on Nicky's flushed face, at the pouting reddened lips that beckoned for his attention once again.

"As shy as you are, your body is extremely sensitive to touch," he said, abruptly tweaking those pert little nubs with his fingertips.

Nicky arched his back in response, his eyes fluttering shut as he drew his bottom lip into his mouth to gnaw on it.

"How delightful," Rufus groaned at the sight of Nicky's reactions. Each heaving breath the brunette took; every panted gasp and harsh whispered call of Rufus' name was music to the blonde's ears.

A scarlet blush blossomed on Nicky's cheeks, his head turning the side in an obvious show of embarrassment. He trembled beneath Rufus, his fear now mixed with the pleasure he was obviously still feeling.

Rufus lovingly caressed one warm cheek, stroking the skin tenderly. "You have no need to be embarrassed, Nicky." He deftly unbuttoned the youth's shirt. "You have beautiful skin and a well-toned body. Any man you choose to be with should gladly worship your body." He pushed the shirt apart and pressed his mouth to the very center of his chest, then moved across the broad expanse to take one dusky nub between his lips. His one hand stayed still on Nicky's side, the other hand occupied by toying with the boy's other nipple.

Rufus worried the nipple between his teeth, alternating his gentle nips with sucking and tasting the delicious piece of flesh. He licked one last time, and then moved to the other, showing it the same attention he had shown its twin. He took a quick glance down and felt a thrill of delight when he spotted the undeniable bulge in Nicky's jeans.

He pulled back from his attention to the brunette's chest, thinking he should try and calm him again. The way he was trembling was a bit distressing. "Relax, my beauty. I won't go all the way with you." He knew he had said the right thing when a slight tenseness in Nicky's muscles suddenly vanished and the constant trembling eased. "You are far too lovely and a simple fling is not a worthy enough reason for you to waste your most precious prize. You save your virginity for when it counts."

Nicky smiled shyly at Rufus, his eyes seeming to glitter. "Thank you. I will," he said, nodding.

Rufus smiled in return. "Now, just lie there and relax for now. Allow me to take joy in giving you pleasure."

He flopped to the side, lying there on his back, his head resting beside Nicky's quivering thigh. "Did you enjoy that?" Rufus asked breathlessly, his throat aching and raw.

"Oh, yes," Nicky panted, his own voice rasping. "D-Does it all feel like that? Sex, I mean?"

Rufus chuckled. He pushed himself up to rest on his elbows, a wave of weariness settling in. "Not at all, precious. It can feel infinitely better with the right partner."

Nicky was silent, those eyes portrayed disbelief.

"I assure you, I am telling the truth. Find yourself a good man, Nicky and he'll show you a world of pleasure. I just gave you a taste today." He sat up, knowing that, as much as he would prefer to, he couldn t lie around on the floor all afternoon with Nicky. He had an ill employee to visit. "I wish I could stay, but I do have business to attend to. Can you get up?"

Nicky shook his head. "I don't know. I feel ... weird."

"It'll pass." He gently helped Nicky to redress, tucking his soft length back into his jeans again. He even fixed the buttons of his shirt, smiling as Nicky remained motionless throughout. Then he went and got his own pants on and helped Nicky to stand. "I'll have Tseng give you a ride home." he said softly. Hearing no complaints, he wrapped his arm around Nicky's waist and led him from the office and to the elevator. It didn't matter to him that he'd left his coat in the office. He d have someone fetch it for him later and have it cleaned.

Tseng was there waiting for him by the car when Rufus reached his private parking area. "My young friend here needs a ride home," Rufus said. "We can drop him off on the way to Seventh Heaven."

Tseng nodded. He moved forward, wrapping his arm around Nicky and effortlessly taking his weight from Rufus. "Yes, sir," he responded, taking on the task of helping Nicky to the car.

Rufus was in a much better mood than before. He smiled as he watched Tseng put Nicky in the car, wondering if they'd have the time for a second round while Tseng drove them to their destination.

Well, there was no harm in trying.
