Chapter 19: The Slippery Slope
The thick stream of baby oil hit Ahmed’s chest with a shocking, cool slap. It spread instantly across the slick black latex, catching the blue glow from the laptop playing a forgotten movie trailer on the cluttered desk. It pooled in the subtle grooves of the vibranium weave pattern before gravity pulled shimmering rivulets down his torso, between his thighs, soaking into the bedspread beneath him. The scent – cloyingly sweet, medicinal – cut through the stale weed and sex smell hanging in the dorm air.
Manny’s low whistle was pure appreciation. "Holy shit," he breathed, watching the oil slick the Panther suit into an obscene, gleaming second skin. He tipped the bottle again, this time aiming a generous pour directly onto Ahmed's lap, the liquid splashing over the pronounced bulge, making Ahmed gasp at the sudden chill against his heated skin through the thin material. "Look at you. Like a goddamn wet dream."
He didn't wait for a response. Gripping the bottle, Manny scrambled onto the bed, kneeling astride Ahmed's thighs. He upended the bottle directly onto Ahmed's stomach, letting the oil cascade over the defined muscle padding, flow around his sides, seep into the crevices where latex met skin. Ahmed squirmed, the sensation intensely cold and strangely vulnerable. "Manny… fuck, that's cold!"
"Warms up fast," Manny promised, his eyes gleaming. He leaned forward, planting one oil-slicked hand firmly on Ahmed's chest for balance, the latex squeaking under his palm. With the other, he began to spread the oil. His touch was deliberate, almost clinical at first, smoothing the liquid over Ahmed's pectorals, down his ribs. The frictionless glide was surreal; Manny’s fingers slipped effortlessly over the surface, leaving gleaming trails. "Gotta get it everywhere," Manny muttered, his focus intense. He worked the oil into the curve of Ahmed's waist, over his hips, down the outside of his thighs. His knuckles brushed the sensitive skin at the edge of Ahmed’s latex briefs, making him shiver.
Then Manny shifted. He poured a dollop of oil directly onto Ahmed's inner thigh, high up near the crease of his hip. His thumb followed, spreading the cool liquid in slow, maddening circles just below the trapped heat of Ahmed’s cock. Ahmed gasped, arching his back reflexively. The oil intensified everything – the constriction of the suit, the anticipation, the feel of Manny’s touch skating so close.
"Your turn, scout," Manny growled, his voice rough. He thrust the half-empty bottle into Ahmed’s slick-gloved hand. "Oil me."
Ahmed fumbled with the bottle, his grip slippery. Manny sat back on his heels, presenting his bare chest and stomach – smooth, defined, slightly flushed. The contrast was stark: Ahmed encased in gleaming black, Manny bare and expectant. Ahmed hesitated for only a second, then tipped the bottle. The oil poured out, splashing onto Manny's sternum, flowing down his abs in thick streams. The sharp, clean scent intensified.
Manny hissed as the cool liquid hit his warm skin. "Yeah… like that," he encouraged. "Get it good."
Ahmed dropped the bottle onto the bed, the oil inside sloshing. Tentatively, he placed his oiled, latex-covered palms on Manny’s chest. The sensation was electric – cool oil, warm skin, the smooth barrier of the glove. He smoothed his hands downwards, spreading the oil across Manny’s pectorals, feeling the firm muscle beneath. His fingers traced the contours of Manny’s ribs, the dip of his navel. The oil made his gloves slide unnervingly easily, turning the act into a frictionless glide. He could feel Manny’s heartbeat thudding against his palm.
"Lower, habibi," Manny murmured, his breath catching slightly. He shifted, spreading his knees wider. "Don't be shy."
Ahmed’s hands slid down Manny’s oiled stomach, over the tense muscles. His latex-clad fingertips grazed the trail of dark hair leading below Manny’s navel, then dipped lower, coating the smooth skin of his groin, slicking the thick base of his hard cock. Manny let out a low groan, his hips lifting slightly off the mattress. Ahmed’s own cock strained painfully against the oiled latex confining it. He looked up, meeting Manny’s dark, heavy-lidded gaze. The raw hunger there, mixed with the vulnerability of being touched, sent a fresh wave of heat crashing through him.
Manny reached out, his own oiled hand closing over Ahmed’s slick, black-clad forearm. "Now," he commanded, his voice thick. "Get your slippery ass over here. Need to feel this."
He pulled Ahmed towards him. Ahmed scrambled forward on his knees, the oil making the sheets treacherous beneath him. Manny guided him, turning him roughly so Ahmed’s oiled back was pressed flush against Manny’s oiled chest. The contact was instantaneous and overwhelming. Cool, slick latex met warm, slick skin. Manny wrapped his arms around Ahmed’s waist from behind, hauling him impossibly closer, grinding his hard cock against the cleft of Ahmed’s oil-slicked ass through the Panther suit.
Ahmed gasped, head falling back against Manny’s shoulder. The slide was obscene. Perfect. Frictionless. Oil squelched softly between them. He could feel every contour of Manny’s body against his back – the hard planes of his chest, the ridges of his abs, the insistent pressure low down. Manny’s breath was hot and ragged against the side of Ahmed’s neck.
"Fuck," Manny groaned into his ear, his voice vibrating against Ahmed’s skin. His hands roamed greedily over Ahmed’s oiled chest and stomach, slipping and sliding over the latex. "You feel… incredible. Like a goddamn eel." He rocked his hips, grinding his cock harder against Ahmed, the latex offering slick resistance. "Slicker than that time you tried to oil wrestle Jake at the pool party and faceplanted."
Ahmed choked out a surprised laugh, the memory absurdly breaking through the intensity. "Shut up," he managed, craning his neck to look back at Manny. Their faces were inches apart, Manny’s eyes dark and glittering with arousal and amusement.
Manny grinned, a flash of white teeth. He shifted his grip, one slick hand sliding down Ahmed’s oiled flank, dipping low between his thighs from the front, his fingers finding and stroking the prominent bulge in the Panther suit’s crotch through the slippery latex. Ahmed cried out, bucking against the touch. Simultaneously, Manny lowered his head and bit down gently on the curve where Ahmed’s neck met his shoulder, a sharp, possessive sting. He released the skin with a wet sound, murmuring against it, "Better soaked in oil, habibi. So much fucking better." His breath hitched, his hips thrusting rhythmically now, the slick, wet sound of latex grinding against skin filling the small room. "Hold onto something," he growled, his voice tight with strain. "Gonna make this suit sing."
Ahmed’s hands scrabbled for purchase on the oil-slick sheets. His fingers brushed the sticky surface of the discarded game controller near his knee. He squeezed his eyes shut, surrendering to the slick, demanding pressure from behind, the rhythmic grind, the bite of Manny’s teeth on his neck, the overwhelming scent of baby oil and sweat and sex, the muffled sounds of the forgotten trailer still playing somewhere in the blue-lit haze. The frictionless slide was torture and ecstasy, pushing him rapidly towards an edge that felt slicker, deeper, and infinitely more dangerous than before. Manny’s grip tightened, his moans vibrating through Ahmed’s back. "That's it, sand boy," he rasped, "Let go. Show me."
The thick, rhythmic grind pulsed through Ahmed like a second heartbeat. Manny’s oil-slicked chest slid against his latex-clad back, each thrust a frictionless glide that pushed Ahmed closer to the edge. "Show me," Manny growled again, his teeth finding Ahmed’s shoulder, the bite sharp and grounding. The command vibrated against his skin, mixing with the wet, obscene sounds of their bodies moving together on the oil-soaked sheets.
Ahmed’s fingers finally closed around something solid – the sticky game controller near his knee. He gripped it tight, knuckles white beneath the black glove. Manny’s hand slipped lower, slick fingers stroking the oiled bulge at his groin with relentless pressure. Ahmed gasped, arching back hard against Manny, his head lolling onto his friend's shoulder. "Manny... I can't..." His voice was a raw scrape, lost in the humid air thick with baby oil and exertion.
"Fucking can," Manny grunted, his own breath ragged against Ahmed’s neck. He rocked harder, faster, the slick slide becoming almost frantic. "Gonna make you scream. Right here. Like the sand prince you are." The slur, coated in sweat and desire, ignited the final spark. The coil inside Ahmed snapped.
Intense heat surged through him, blinding and absolute. His body locked, back bowing violently as the climax ripped through him. A choked cry tore from his throat, muffled only by the closeness of Manny’s body. The pleasure was a white-hot wave, drowning out the clatter of the controller dropping from his limp hand onto the discarded pizza box. He shuddered uncontrollably, pinned between Manny’s relentless thrusts and the slick embrace of his own release trapped within the latex.
Manny felt Ahmed convulse against him, heard the desperate, muffled cry. "Yeah! Fuck yes!" he roared, his own control shattering. His arms clamped like iron bands around Ahmed’s waist. With a final, powerful thrust, grinding deep against Ahmed’s slick ass, he came. A guttural groan erupted from his chest, vibrating through Ahmed’s back. His hips jerked erratically, pressing Ahmed hard against the oil-slick sheets.
The frantic movement, coupled with the sheer slickness coating everything, became their undoing. As Manny’s body sagged with release, his weight shifted. Ahmed, utterly spent and boneless beneath him, offered no resistance. Their oiled limbs tangled, lost purchase. Manny’s knee slid wildly on the saturated sheet. He tried to brace himself, but his hand skidded uselessly across the wet latex covering Ahmed’s chest.
They toppled sideways in a tangle of limbs, slick skin, and gleaming black rubber. Manny landed half on Ahmed, half on the bed, his elbow thudding into a discarded Red Bull can. Ahmed yelped as he bounced slightly, oil making him slide sideways towards the edge.
For a breathless second, they lay stunned, limbs akimbo, covered in oil and sweat. Then Manny, propped awkwardly on one elbow, looked down at Ahmed’s bewildered, flushed face. A snort escaped him. It bubbled into a chuckle, then a full-bellied laugh that shook his whole frame. "Fuck, okay... maybe too much oil?" he gasped, wiping uselessly at his slick forearm.
The sheer absurdity of it – the mighty Panther Prince and his scout, felled by discount baby oil mid-climax – hit Ahmed. A surprised giggle burst out of him, sharp and bright against the heavy air. He tried to push Manny off, but his oiled glove slipped off Manny’s slick shoulder. They both dissolved into helpless laughter, the tension of minutes before shattered, bodies shaking against the ruined bedspread. The blue light from the laptop flickered over their slick, tangled forms, casting shifting patterns on the oil-smeared window overlooking the quiet campus street below.
Their laughter subsided into breathless chuckles, punctuated by soft gasps. Manny finally managed to roll mostly off, collapsing onto his back beside Ahmed on the slippery battlefield of the bed. He stared up at the ceiling plastered with a faded Avengers poster, a wide, dazed grin splitting his face. "Holy shit, habibi," he breathed, chest still heaving. "That... that was a thing."
Ahmed lay sprawled, the wet latex cool now against his flushed skin, the echo of pleasure still humming low in his bones. He turned his head, meeting Manny’s glistening, oil-smeared gaze. The playful glint was back, mixed with pure, exhausted satisfaction. Ahmed just nodded, a soft, shaky laugh escaping him again. "Yeah," he managed, his voice rough but light. "Definitely a thing." He reached out a slippery gloved hand, not aiming for anything, just letting it rest near Manny’s oiled arm on the sticky sheet. The silence settled, thick and warm and utterly spent, the only sound their slowing breaths and the faint drone of the laptop’s forgotten trailer looping silently in the corner.
The silence settled, thick and warm and utterly spent. Their slowing breaths mingled with the faint drone of the laptop’s forgotten trailer looping silently in the corner. Ahmed shifted slightly, the oil-slicked latex clinging uncomfortably now, cooling against his skin where it wasn't plastered to Manny's side.
He traced a lazy, sticky pattern on Manny’s bare, gleaming chest with a latex-clad fingertip. The oil made his glove slide almost frictionless over the smooth skin. "Hey Manny?" His voice was hoarse, softened by exhaustion and the lingering haze.
Manny turned his head, a slow smile touching his lips. His dark eyes, still heavy-lidded, met Ahmed’s. "Yeah, habibi?" His hand found Ahmed’s oil-slicked thigh, resting there possessively.
Ahmed hesitated, the question forming, tangled with the ghost of his earlier submission and the raw intimacy they’d just shared. He remembered the feel of Manny in his mouth, the heavy thickness, the desperate sounds Manny made. "Why," he started, his fingertip pausing near Manny’s nipple, "didn't I just... you know?" He met Manny’s gaze directly, a flicker of defiant curiosity in his brown eyes. "Why didn't I jerk that big cock till you came? And then lick your nipples clean?"
A slow, appreciative grin spread across Manny’s face. He chuckled, the sound low and warm in his chest. "Got plans for next time already, sand boy?" His thumb rubbed a slow circle on Ahmed’s latex-covered thigh. "Getting ambitious."
He shifted, propping himself up slightly on one elbow, looking down at Ahmed. Oil gleamed on his collarbones. "Honest?" Manny’s expression softened slightly, a rare vulnerability flickering past the usual confidence. "Lost my damn mind back there." He gestured vaguely at the oil-slicked battlefield of the bed. "Seeing you like that... all slick black and mine... hearing you... that stupid suit smell mixed with the oil..." He shook his head, a faint blush rising on his cheeks despite the dim light. "Wanted everything at once. Couldn't pick a lane." He tapped his own chest. "Wanted this." Then he pointed emphatically at Ahmed’s mouth. "And that."
Ahmed absorbed this, the admission of Manny’s own overwhelmed desire cutting through the playful bravado. It was a glimpse behind the curtain, a crack in the 'king' persona. He pushed himself up too, wincing as the latex pulled at his skin. Oil dripped sluggishly from his elbow onto the ruined sheets. He reached out, his gloved hand hovering near Manny’s chest again, drawn to the peaked nipple.
"Maybe next time," Ahmed murmured, his voice low. His oiled fingertip brushed lightly, deliberately, over the sensitive nub. "I take my time." He leaned in slightly, his breath warm against Manny’s slick skin. "Make you choose. Or," he added, a spark of the earlier defiance returning, "make you beg for which one first."
Manny’s breath hitched. His eyes darkened, the vulnerability vanishing, replaced by a familiar, hungry intensity focused entirely on Ahmed. He caught Ahmed’s wrist, not roughly, but firmly, stopping the teasing touch. His grip was slick, unyielding. A slow, dangerous smile curved his lips. "Careful, scout," he purred, his thumb pressing into the pulse point beneath the latex glove. "Talking like that?" He pulled Ahmed’s hand down, pressing the oiled palm flat against his own still-flushed abs. "Might just keep you in that suit all weekend." His gaze locked onto Ahmed’s, the challenge hanging heavy in the oil-scented air between them, thick with the promise of another kind of exhaustion.
The challenge hung between them, thick and sticky as the oil cooling on their skin. Ahmed met Manny’s intense gaze, the dare sparking a reckless energy that cut through the post-climax lethargy. He didn’t pull his hand away from Manny’s slick abs. "All weekend?" Ahmed echoed, a slow, challenging smile spreading across his own face. He flexed his oiled fingers against Manny’s skin. "Think you can handle me that long, scout?"
Manny’s grin widened, predatory and sharp. He didn’t loosen his grip on Ahmed’s wrist. "Try me, sand boy." His other hand snaked out, lightning fast despite the slipperiness, and shoved Ahmed’s shoulder hard. It wasn’t meant to hurt, just to push, to provoke.
Ahmed wasn't expecting it. His oil-slicked back skidded violently across the saturated sheets. He yelped, scrambling for purchase, fingers clawing uselessly at the wet fabric as he slid towards the edge of the bed. The latex hissed against the sheets. He landed with a soft thump on the worn dorm carpet beside the bed, surrounded by discarded pizza crusts and a crumpled Border Tribe tunic. He blinked up, disoriented and slick.
Laughter boomed from the bed. Manny loomed over the edge, looking down, his bare chest gleaming, eyes alight with mischief. "Oops. Floor's slippery too, your highness." He swung his legs over the side, landing lightly beside Ahmed on the carpet. "Guess we started round two early."
Before Ahmed could react, Manny lunged. It wasn't elegant. It was pure, oiled momentum. He slammed into Ahmed, trying to grapple him into a hold. Their bodies collided with a wet slap, oil smearing across the coarse carpet fibers. Ahmed gasped as cold laminate pressed against his latex-clad back, Manny’s warm, bare weight pinning him down. "Get off, you greased weasel!" Ahmed bucked, trying to twist free. His latex-covered hands slipped wildly off Manny’s slick shoulders.
"Make me, Prince Slippery!" Manny grunted, trying to pin Ahmed’s wrists. His knee dug into Ahmed’s thigh. The scent of baby oil, sweat, and carpet dust filled Ahmed’s nostrils. He managed to wrench one arm free, shoving at Manny’s face. His oiled glove slid right off Manny’s cheek, leaving a shiny streak.
They rolled. It was clumsy, frantic, desperate. Limbs tangled, slipped, found momentary purchase only to slide away again. Ahmed ended up on top for half a second, straddling Manny’s waist, his latex knees digging into the carpet. Triumph flared. "Ha! Subdued the savage scout!"
Manny just grinned up at him, unbothered. "Nice view from down here, your majesty." He bucked his hips hard, dislodging Ahmed’s precarious balance. Ahmed wobbled, arms windmilling. Manny seized the moment, hooking a slick leg around Ahmed’s and heaving. Ahmed crashed down beside him with a gasp.
They lay panting, side by side on the gritty carpet, coated in a fresh layer of oil and dust. Ahmed’s chest heaved against the constricting suit. Manny wiped oil and carpet fuzz from his cheekbone. "Okay," Manny gasped between breaths, a laugh bubbling under the words. "Okay, truce? This carpet is disgusting."
Ahmed turned his head, meeting Manny’s gaze. The competitive fire was still there, but softened by shared exhaustion and absurdity. He saw the streak of grime on Manny’s face, the way his dark hair was plastered with oil. He saw the genuine amusement, the flicker of that earlier, vulnerable admission beneath the bravado. "Truce," Ahmed agreed, his voice rough. He lifted a weary, oil-smeared hand. "Help me up before I fuse with the floor."
Manny reached out, his fingers sliding against Ahmed’s wrist. The grip, despite the oil, felt solid. Real. He pulled Ahmed upright with surprising strength. They stood unsteadily on the slick carpet, inches apart, breathing heavily, gleaming under the flickering blue light of the laptop. The Panther suit was dulled by dust and grime, Manny’s bare chest streaked with it. The air still hummed with the aftermath of exertion and lingering, complicated desire.
Manny’s gaze drifted down Ahmed’s ruined suit, then back up to his face. That familiar, challenging smirk returned, softer now. "So," he said, his thumb rubbing a slow, oil-slicked circle on the inside of Ahmed’s wrist. "Shower? Or..." He let the question hang, his eyes darkening with the unspoken round three. He didn't specify where that round might happen – the cramped dorm shower stall or back on the oil-slicked battlefield of the bed. The possibilities shimmered, as slippery and enticing as the sheen on their skin. Ahmed felt the familiar thrum of anticipation restart low in his belly, cutting through the exhaustion. The night, clearly, wasn't over. Manny’s grip tightened, pulling him a fraction closer on the treacherous floor.
