Chapter 9: Holy Communion
The words hung between them in the still, sunlit air, a charged contract. Omar’s gaze was unblinking, sober with the weight of what he’d just agreed to explore. David felt a hot rush of shame, immediately followed by a darker, thicker surge of want. He kissed Omar again, hard, to stop himself from talking, from dissecting it.
“Lesson one is practical,” David murmured against his mouth, pulling back. He swung his legs off the bed, the cool air of the room hitting his damp skin. He padded to the black bags, his movements precise. From the depths of tissue paper, he pulled out the simple black jockstrap. He held it up by its thin side straps. “For you. Functional. It frames the ass, focuses the mind.”
Omar watched, still lying on his side, the plug a quiet presence. He pushed himself up. “It looks… minimal.”
“It is,” David said, coming to stand before him. “Arms up.”
Omar obeyed, raising his arms. David guided the soft, stretchy fabric over his head, down his torso. He helped Omar step into the leg holes, then tugged the pouch into place, his hands carefully adjusting Omar’s softness, tucking him into the black elastic cradle. The back was a mere strip of fabric bisecting the full swell of his buttocks. David stepped back, his head tilted.
The effect was immediate. The jockstrap sculpted Omar’s plumpness into something deliberate, highlighted, offered. It made him look vulnerable and potent all at once.
“Perfect,” David breathed, the word a genuine exhale. He turned to his own bag, pulling out the sheer black mesh bodysuit. He shimmied into it, the fabric clinging like a second skin, the diamond-shaped weave stretching taut over his chest, his waist, his thighs. He was bare underneath. His cock, already half-hard from their talk, from the sight of Omar in the jock, strained obviously against the mesh, a dark, thick outline.
He faced Omar, letting him look. “See the difference? Yours is for restraint. Mine is for display.” He ran a hand down his own torso. “Now. Get on your knees.”
Omar didn’t hesitate. He slid off the leather bed and knelt on the plush, charcoal-gray area rug. The position pushed the plug inside him subtly deeper; David saw the faint wince, then the slow bloom of acceptance on his face. Omar looked up, his eyes level with David’s groin.
David cupped himself through the mesh, pressing the head of his cock against the fabric right before Omar’s lips. “This is your first holy communion, bes,” he said, his voice dropping into a low, ceremonial register. “You open your mouth. You take me in. You learn the taste, the texture, the weight. You don’t rush. This isn’t about making me come. It’s about knowing what you’re inviting inside you later.”
Omar’s lips parted. His breath was hot through the mesh. David fed himself slowly into the wet, welcoming heat. Omar’s mouth was clumsy, eager, his tongue pushing against the fabric as much as the flesh. The sensation of the mesh, then the slick slide of his tongue underneath it, was bizarre and intensely erotic. David hissed, his fingers finding Omar’s hair.
“Good. Just like that. Get it wet. Soak right through.”
Omar worked, his hands coming to rest on David’s thighs, his nails biting slightly through the mesh. David let his head fall back, focusing on the sweet, dragging pressure. After a moment, he gently pulled back. The mesh was drenched, transparent. “Okay. Stop.”
Omar looked up, his lips slick, confused.
“Up on the bed,” David instructed, his own breathing shallow. “On your hands and knees.”
The shift was awkward with the plug, but Omar managed, presenting himself. The black strap cut across his redness, the flared base of the plug just visible. David knelt behind him, his hands running over the warm, generous curves. He leaned forward, put his mouth close to Omar’s ear.
“The words,” David whispered, the earlier vulnerability razor-sharp in his throat. “You wanted the words. They’re not pretty. Call me your… dirty little houseboy. Your cheap import. Tell me you own me.”
Omar froze beneath him. David could feel the tension lock every muscle. The silence stretched, terrible and brittle. David closed his eyes, regret a cold flood. It was a mistake. He’d broken the spell.
Then Omar’s voice came, low, trembling with effort, but clear.
“You are my dirty little secret,” he began, testing the shape of the words. “My… brown… fantasy.” He took a shuddering breath, pushing back slightly against David’s hands. “I paid for this. For you. So be good for me. Be my good… little…”
He trailed off, the script failing him. But he’d tried. He’d fucking tried.
It was enough. It was everything.
David moaned, the sound ripped from somewhere deep and scarred. He didn’t correct him. He didn’t need the perfect line. The intent was there, a shocking, grotesque gift. He reached for the bottle of poppers on the bedside table, popped the cap, and held it under his own nose for a sharp, clarifying hit. The room blurred at the edges for a second, a rush of heat and light. Then he held it under Omar’s nose. “Breathe deep. Once.”
Omar inhaled, a sharp sniff. He coughed, his body convulsing. “It smells like chemicals,” he gasped.
“It is chemicals,” David said, his voice thick. He set the bottle aside. The poppers would already be working, a wave of dizziness and vasodilation washing through them both. He uncapped the thick silicone lube, coating his fingers, then his own cock, which sprang free as he pushed the mesh panel aside. He rubbed the cool, slippery excess over Omar’s stretched entrance, around the base of the plug. “It makes you open. It makes you hungry.”
With his other hand, he took hold of the plug’s base. “Ready? I’m taking this out. And then I’m giving you me.”
Omar nodded, his face pressed into the leather duvet. David pulled slowly. The silicone slid free with a soft, wet sound. Omar cried out, his body clenching around sudden emptiness.
David didn’t give him time to miss it. He positioned himself, the broad head of his cock pressing against that loosened, slick ring. He leaned over Omar’s back, his mouth against the shell of his ear again, his voice a raw, filthy promise.
“You’re gonna feel this in your fucking soul, bes. You’re gonna remember whose cock this is. Who you belong to now.”
He pushed.
The resistance was still there, a tight, burning clutch, but the poppers had done their work, muting the edge of pain into a stretched, overwhelming fullness. Omar screamed, a ragged, shattered sound into the duvet. David sank deeper, inch by impossible inch, until he was fully sheathed, his hips flush against Omar’s ass. They were both panting, suspended in the moment of brutal completion.
David didn’t move. He let Omar feel it, every thick inch, the foreign, filling reality of it. He wrapped an arm around Omar’s chest, holding him close, feeling the frantic jackrabbit beat of his heart.
“Breathe,” David urged, his own voice shaking. “Just breathe. It’s all in. You took it. You took all of it, you fucking champion.”
Omar was sobbing, but they weren’t tears of pure pain. They were tears of rupture, of a boundary permanently crossed. He pushed back, a tiny, instinctive movement.
That was all David needed.
He began to move, a slow, dragging withdrawal followed by a deep, rolling thrust. He set a punishing, deliberate rhythm, each stroke punching a choked sound from Omar’s throat. The room filled with the sounds of skin, of their strained breathing, of David’s low, continuous praise and filth.
“That’s it, take your medicine. Your tight little ass is finally getting what it’s been begging for. You feel how deep I am? You feel how I own this now?”
“Yes!” Omar wailed, his fingers scrabbling for purchase on the leather. “David, please…”
“Please what?” David snapped, picking up the pace, his thrusts becoming harder, more focused. “You wanted vulgar. You wanted real. This is real. This is me fucking you raw because you’re mine. Say it.”
“I’m yours!” Omar cried, the confession torn from him. “I’m yours, I’m yours, I’m—oh, God—”
His body tightened suddenly, a vice grip around David. The sobs turned into broken, hiccupping moans. He was coming, untouched, his release spilling onto the leather beneath him, his whole body shuddering through the shock of it.
The violent clenching around his cock tipped David over the edge. With a final, deep grind, he came inside Omar, a hot, endless pulse that felt like exorcism and claim all at once. He collapsed forward, burying his face in Omar’s shoulder, his own breaths coming in ragged gulps.
The world slowly reassembled itself. The smell of sex and leather and sweat. The low hum of the city beyond the glass. The frantic beat of two hearts slowing into sync.
David softened, slipped out. He rolled to the side, pulling Omar with him, cradling the trembling man against his chest. He didn’t speak. He just held him, wiping gently at the tear tracks on his cheeks with his thumb.
Omar’s breathing eventually evened. He turned his head, his eyes red-rimmed but clear, looking at David with an awe that bordered on fear.
“That was…” he started, then stopped, words failing.
“Yeah,” David finished softly. He kissed his forehead. “It was.”
Omar’s hand came up, his fingers tracing David’s lips. “The words… they felt… dangerous.”
“They are,” David admitted, holding his gaze. “We don’t have to use them again.”
Omar was silent for a long moment. He looked down, then back up, a new determination settling in his gaze. “I think we do,” he whispered. “But… I need to learn them better. I need to make them mine, too. So they don’t scare me.”
David’s throat tightened. He pulled Omar closer. Outside, the Palm Springs afternoon burned on, relentless and bright, but in the cool, messy sanctuary of the bed, something had been forged in heat and friction, something complex and fragile and stronger than either of them had expected.
Outside, the Palm Springs afternoon burned on, relentless and bright, but in the cool, messy sanctuary of the bed, something had been forged in heat and friction, something complex and fragile and stronger than either of them had expected.
David’s softening body still thrummed with a curious, restless energy. The look in Omar’s eyes—that awe, that fear, that resolve—kept his blood humming just beneath his skin. He traced the line of Omar’s shoulder with his nose, breathing in the salt and musk. His own cock, still slick between them, twitched against Omar’s thigh, stirring back to life.
“You feel that?” David murmured, his voice sandpaper-rough. “It’s not done with you yet.”
Omar shifted, the movement causing a faint, slick sound between them. He glanced down, then back at David’s face, a slow understanding dawning. “I… I feel it.”
“Good.” David’s hand drifted down Omar’s side, over the curve of his hip, coming to rest on the damp, heated skin of his ass. He pressed gently, and Omar gasped, still sensitive from the invasion. “I wanna go again. Now.” He brushed his lips over Omar’s temple. “Can I be a little rougher?”
Omar swallowed, his throat clicking. The earlier tears had dried, leaving tracks of clarity. He nodded, once, sharp. “Yes.”
That single word was a lightning strike. David reached over him, his fingers finding the small yellow bottle on the nightstand. The cap made a soft, definitive pop. He brought it to Omar’s nostrils. “Deep breath, anak. Don’t think. Just inhale.”
Omar obeyed, a sharp, reflexive sniff. His eyes watered instantly, his whole body going loose and pliant against David’s. The chemical sweetness hung in the air for a second. David took a quick hit himself, the world tilting, colors bleeding at the edges, every nerve ending shouting.
He maneuvered Omar onto his stomach, his movements quicker now, less worshipful. He lifted Omar’s hips, arranging him on his knees, his face still pressed to the leather. David’s own arousal was a thick, urgent ache. He pushed back in, this time with no ceremony, just a single, brutal stroke that buried him to the hilt.
Omar cried out, the sound muffled by the bed.
David set a harder, faster pace immediately, his hips snapping forward, the slapping of skin echoing off the concrete walls. The poppers made everything a radiant, pounding blur. He braced one hand between Omar’s shoulder blades, holding him down. He leaned close, his mouth against Omar’s ear, the words forming like obsidian shards.
“Do you like that?” he growled, each thrust punching the air from his lungs. “Do you like Daddy’s big Pinoy cock fucking your tight Arab bussy wide open? Hmm? You like being my little sand slut?”
The words were uglier, sharper, stripped of any pretense. They hung in the humid air.
Omar moaned, a broken, continuous sound. He pushed back against David, meeting his thrusts. “Harder,” he gasped, his voice shredded. “Harder, Daddy. Please.”
David smiled, a feral stretch of his lips. He increased the tempo, piston-fast, each drive deeper, claiming. The bedframe groaned a metallic protest. “That’s it. Take it. This is what you bought, right? This is all you’re good for now. Just a hole for this brown dick.”
“Yes!” Omar wailed, his body clenching in another desperate, rolling convulsion. This orgasm was sharper, less a surrender than a seizure, milking David deep inside him as he shuddered and sobbed.
David followed him over, his climax a raw, scraping eruption that left him seeing stars. He collapsed forward, his weight heavy on Omar’s back, his face buried in the damp space between his shoulder blades. The only sounds were their ragged, struggling breaths and the faint, ticking cooling of the leather beneath them.
Minutes bled. David’s senses returned in increments: the burn in his thighs, the stickiness everywhere, the alarming tenderness in his heart. He carefully rolled off, pulling Omar close, turning him. Omar’s face was a mess—tears, sweat, the imprint of the leather on his cheek.
David wiped at his cheeks with a gentle thumb. He didn’t speak. He just looked, searching for damage, for regret.
Omar’s eyes opened. They were hazy, profoundly spent, but they held David’s gaze. He licked his swollen lips. “I called you Daddy,” he whispered, as if stating a fascinating result.
“You did,” David said, his own voice quiet.
“And you… you called me…”
“I know what I called you.”
Omar was silent for a long time, processing. He shifted, wincing slightly, then settled against David’s chest. “It didn’t feel like you were talking about me,” he said finally, his words careful. “It felt like you were talking about… a idea. A story. And I was inside it.”
David’s breath caught. He pressed a kiss to Omar’s forehead. “Maybe,” he conceded. That was closer to the truth than he could have articulated himself.
“I think,” Omar said, his voice growing heavy with exhaustion, “I need to understand that story better.” His eyes drifted shut. “Later.”
He was asleep within seconds, his body a warm, trusting weight. David held him, watching the golden light slowly deepen to amber, then to a bruised purple. The complex, fragile thing they’d forged now had a new, dark thread woven through it. It wasn’t comforting. But it was theirs.
But it was theirs.
The desert dusk bled into night through the floor-to-ceiling glass. The slick, star-pricked blackness felt like a cooling blanket. Omar stirred, a small movement that echoed through his entire frame. He made a soft, pained sound. David had been dozing, but the shift woke him instantly.
He’d gotten lost in the mechanics, in the dark story. The tenderness now felt like a necessary correction. “Bes,” he whispered into Omar’s hair.“Hey. You okay?”
Omar shifted again, his face wrinkling. “My… inside,” he managed. “It feels like I’ve been… rearranged.”
A laugh, soft and relieved, shook David’s chest. “You have been.Twice. Here.” He extricated himself, the sheets peeling away from their damp skin. He walked nude to the en suite, the marble floor cool under his feet. He ran warm water over a small washcloth, wringing it out.
When he returned, Omar had curled onto his side. David knelt beside the bed. “This will help. Just relax.”
He gently cleaned Omar, wiping away the drying sweat and the sticky, pearlescent evidence. His touch was methodical, clinical in its care. When he pressed the warm cloth between Omar’s cheeks, Omar inhaled sharply, his body tensing.
“Shhh,” David soothed. “It’s just heat. Just cleaning up our mess.”
The tension eased from Omar’s shoulders. He let his legs fall open a fraction. David finished, tossing the cloth toward the bathroom door. He slid back into the bed, pulling Omar against him, skin to skin now without barrier. The leather was cool where the sheet had slipped away.
They lay in the quiet for a long time. The humming city below was a distant, lulling frequency. David’s hand rested on Omar’s stomach, feeling the soft rise and fall.
“So,” David said finally, his voice a low rumble in the dark. “All in. How did it feel?”
Omar took a slow, deliberate breath. He placed his hand over David’s. “It felt,” he began, then paused, searching for the precise calibration. “It felt like structural failure.A planned demolition. Necessary.” He turned his head slightly on the pillow. “And wonderful.”
David smiled against the back of his neck. “Wonderful, huh? Even with the ugly words?”
“Especially with them,” Omar said, and the certainty in his voice was new. “It was like… a pressure valve. All the hidden tension about what I wanted, about who I am—about us—it had a name, a shape. We gave it one. It wasn’t polite. It was truthful.” He swallowed. “The race play. The ‘Daddy’ thing. It felt… liberated. Not limited.”
David went still. The word liberated hung there, rewriting his own understanding of the afternoon’s shadows. He’d thought it was about exorcising a demon, not freeing one. He tightened his arm around Omar’s waist.
“We are two baklas in a pod, then,” David whispered, the Tagalog term for queer, for someone like him, sitting easily in his mouth. He felt Omar’s questioning silence and translated gently. “We are two wild, strange birds. Flocking together. Making our own fucked-up nest.”
Omar let out a soft huff, a spent laugh. “I like that.” He grew quiet again. “Thank you,” he said, so softly David almost missed it. “For… for architecture. For building the blueprint before you built the skyscraper.”
The plug. The poppers. The graduated teaching. It hadn’t just been practical. It had been compassionate. David felt a sudden, fierce ache behind his sternum. “Anytime, bes,” he murmured, his voice thick. “Anytime.”
Omar turned then, a slow, stiff rotation to face him. In the ambient city glow, his eyes were dark pools. He looked wrecked, beautiful, young. His fingers traced the line of David’s jaw. “Tomorrow is Sunday.”
“It is.”
“We have one more day.”
David nodded, the fact landing like a stone in his gut. They’d built this entire universe in a long weekend. This high-design Palm Springs suite was a spaceship, and re-entry loomed. Los Angeles was their Monday-morning gravity.
Omar’s fingers slid from David’s jaw down the cord of his neck, stopping at the silver choker, the first item from their first shopping trip. “Then we should sleep,” he said, his voice firm with a new authority. “We will need the rest.”
David didn’t ask what for. He understood this, too, was part of the architecture. Preparation. He drew Omar in, kissing his forehead. “Tulog na,” he whispered. “Go to sleep.” He felt the words take hold as Omar’s breathing deepened, the last of the day’s intensity finally draining away.
David stayed awake longer, listening. The thrill was still there, a low-voltage hum in his veins. But it was layered now with a heavier, more durable current. Not just desire, but responsibility. Not just play, but pact. Omar wasn't an experiment anymore.
He was a collaborator. They had discovered a language. It was crude. It was brutal. It was, apparently, liberating.
Tomorrow, their last day in this gilded bubble, would be about conjugation. Putting that new, volatile vocabulary into a future tense. David’s mind began to spin out, imagining his small apartment in LA with Omar in it, the stage at the boulevard club with Omar watching, the complexity of blending this raw, private thing into their separate, public lives.
He pushed the thoughts down. They didn’t belong here, not yet. He focused on the warm body in his arms, the scent of their union on the sheets. He closed his eyes. He thought, instead, of what shape tomorrow's final lesson might take.
