Teach me, Touch me. 

Part 29: Special 8.

A cigarette was lit, the nicotine filling his lungs as Kanthi waited for his younger boyfriend to finish up in the bathroom. Kanthi leaned against the edge of the large jacuzzi tub situated on the balcony of their hotel room. From this elevated spot, he gazed out at the serene nighttime ocean view, the peaceful atmosphere befitting the private island's exclusivity.

 

It wasn't long before the faint scent of soap wafted through the air, signalling the arrival of someone far more captivating. Gear dropped himself onto the edge of the sofa, his eyes fixed on his boyfriend with a soft smile.

 

Kanthi, with his timeless good looks, seemed to grow more handsome by the day, leaving Gear's heart racing every time their eyes met. His jet-black hair, unstyled, fell slightly over his forehead. His muscular frame, bare and submerged in the frothy water of the jacuzzi, concealed the more intimate details beneath the surface. Yet, the broad chest above the waterline was enough to command attention.

 

Kanthi's lips curled into a smirk as he exhaled a plume of smoke, locking eyes with Gear. With deliberate ease, he extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, deciding he craved his boyfriend's presence far more than the fleeting satisfaction of nicotine.

 

"Gear, come here."

 

"..." Gear didn't respond immediately, instead glancing down at himself, clad only in a bathrobe that barely covered his body.

 

"Don't be shy. Take it off and come here," Kanthi said, extending a hand toward him, inviting him into the warm water.

 

"Turn around first, Kanthi. I'll take off the robe," Gear requested, his voice tinged with embarrassment.

 

"Heh," the older man chuckled, retracting his hand and grinning at his perpetually bashful boyfriend.

 

Gear cautiously peeked to ensure Kanthi had turned away as instructed. Once satisfied, he slipped off the bathrobe, leaving himself bare, and carefully lowered his legs into the invitingly warm, bubbling water. 

 

Slowly, he sank into the tub until the foam and water concealed everything that needed to be hidden. Only then did he inch closer to Kanthi, who was already leaning against the tub's edge. But the man, impatient as ever, grabbed Gear's waist with one hand and pulled him swiftly to sit between his legs.

 

"Kanthi!" Gear protested immediately, startled by his boyfriend's eagerness. It wasn't just the sudden pull; Kanthi had also wrapped his arms around him from behind, pressing kisses repeatedly to the nape of his neck, causing Gear to squirm and pull away from the ticklish sensation.

 

"You smell so good," Kanthi murmured, unfazed by the complaint. He buried his nose in Gear's soft hair, inhaling deeply, while his arms tightened around Gear's waist as if afraid he might disappear.

 

Their bodies communicated silently through touch. Kanthi did nothing more than hold Gear close and plant gentle kisses along his shoulder and temple.

 

Meanwhile, Gear leaned back against Kanthi's broad, warm chest, intertwining one hand with Kanthi's larger one. Together, they soaked in the tranquil nighttime ambience, listening to the rhythmic crash of waves against the shore and enjoying the natural breeze.

 

"Do you like this trip I planned for us?"

 

"I love it. I wish we could stay like this forever," Gear replied, tilting his face up toward Kanthi until his cheek brushed against Kanthi's lips.

 

"I'll bring you here more often. How does that sound?" The older man inquired.

 

"That sounds perfect."

"..."

 

"Honestly, just being with you makes me happy. We don't have to go on trips. I know how busy you are," Gear added, his voice sincere.

 

Kanthi smiled, pride swelling in his chest. He admired his young boyfriend deeply. Despite their age gap and Gear's limited life experience, the young man displayed a maturity and understanding that often surpassed his years.

 

Gear never demanded anything, not even what he deserved as a partner, yet Kanthi was determined to give him everything that would make him happy.

"Why are you so adorable? I love you so much, Gear," Kanthi confessed.

 

"I know. You tell me all the time," Gear replied with a grin.

 

"Are you tired of hearing it?"

 

"Not at all. I love it," Gear quickly turned to reassure him, fearing Kanthi might stop saying it as often.

 

"..."

"Say it again, please," Gear pleaded when Kanthi remained silent.

 

"..What will you give me in return?" Kanthi teased, his sharp eyes glinting with mischief as he seized the opportunity to negotiate.

 

"I love you," Gear whispered shyly, leaning back against Kanthi's arm to make the confession easier. Despite his embarrassment, he chose to say it softly, just for Kanthi to hear. I'm so hopeless... hopelessly smitten with a kid…

 

Kanthi's heart, though in his thirties, felt invigorated every time he heard those sweet words. He tightened his embrace, pressing his nose repeatedly to Gear's head, utterly captivated.

 

"You're so small. If I hug you too tightly, will you be able to breathe?"

 

"I'm the same size as always. You're the one who's been working out so much, you're all muscle now," Gear retorted, playfully squeezing Kanthi's bicep to prove his point.

 

Since becoming a couple, Kanthi had not only taken care of Gear but also focused on his health and fitness. The main reason? To intimidate any young men who might dare to flirt with his boyfriend.

 

"When you have a younger boyfriend, you have to keep yourself looking good. Otherwise, I might not be able to keep up in the future," Kanthi joked.

 

"Keep up with what?"

 

"Do you want me to be blunt?" Kanthi asked, smirking. Gear quickly shook his head, knowing full well that Kanthi's bluntness would likely involve something inappropriate.

"You're so handsome, Kanthi, more than anyone I've ever known."

 

"That's much?" Kanthi raised an eyebrow, amused by the dramatic compliment.

 

"Yes, you're incredibly attractive. Sometimes I wonder how someone like you even exists."

 

"Gear, that's a bit too much," Kanthi chuckled, his laughter infectious enough to make Gear laugh along.

 

"But I mean it. You're so handsome, always looking good and charming."

 

"..."

"I love your eyes, your sharp nose, your lips, and even the little bit of stubble you have right now," Gear said, tracing each feature with his fingertips until he reached Kanthi's lips and chin. The touch brought back vivid memories of how that stubble felt against his skin, making him momentarily lose his breath. Even now...

 

Gear swallowed hard, his throat suddenly dry as his imagination ran wild. He quickly turned his gaze back to the ocean, pretending nothing had happened.

 

To distract himself, he played with the bubbles before lifting his left hand to admire the diamond ring on his finger. Brushing away the foam, he shifted the conversation.

 

"This ring is beautiful," he said.

 

"..It's stunning," Kanthi agreed, his deep voice carrying a double meaning. Whether he was referring to the ring or its wearer was unclear. He took Gear's hand, kissed the spot where the diamond sat, and repeated the gesture several times.

 

"Can I kiss you, my good boy?" Kanthi asked, his face close to Gear's, his warm breath brushing against his cheek as the tension between them grew.

 

The magnetic pull between them was undeniable. Gear leaned in, turning toward Kanthi, who captured his lips in a deep kiss. The moment was electric, their hearts racing as Kanthi took his time, savouring the romantic atmosphere.

 

"Mmm," Gear murmured, his voice a mix of surrender and pleasure as he melted into the kiss. Kanthi's tongue explored, teasing and coaxing Gear's, who, despite being well-practised, always found himself overwhelmed by Kanthi's expertise. Kanthi's soul-stealing kisses were unmatched, leaving Gear breathless every time.

 

"I love you, Gear. So much. You're my everything," Kanthi whispered, pulling back to gaze into Gear's dazed eyes, his voice filled with emotion.

 

"I love you too, Kanthi," Gear replied, his words barely out before Kanthi claimed his lips again. 

 

Kanthi's large hands began to roam, caressing Gear's smooth skin. Starting at his chest, he applied just enough pressure to elicit a response, making Gear arch into his touch. Meanwhile, his tongue continued its passionate exploration, leaving Gear utterly captivated.

 

Their shared desire intensified, their bare bodies pressed together beneath the water. Kanthi's growing arousal was impossible to ignore, and Gear, leaning against him, felt every bit of it.

 

"Do you want to play in the water?" Kanthi asked, pulling back just enough to speak. His deep, velvety voice carried a playful yet unmistakable undertone, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

 

"But we've just played," the innocent boy replied, though his uncertainty about whether his answer matched Kanthi's question was evident.

 

"I mean... playing with..." Kanthi let his words trail off, leaving Gear to piece it together. At the same time, he guided Gear's hand beneath the water to feel the firmness that had been waiting for release.

 

"Kanthi..." Gear's voice was so soft it was barely audible. He lowered his face, trying to hide his embarrassment, but his slender hand beneath the water responded to Kanthi's heated body with a boldness that seemed to delight him.

 

The charming man's lips curved into a smirk as he noticed his young boyfriend's courage, just as he always did. He allowed Gear's right hand to continue its playful exploration of his arousal, while his left hand gently held Gear's other hand. His fingers brushed over the diamond ring that symbolised their bond, a gesture of possession, as he leaned in to deliver a deep, intoxicating kiss that drew a soft moan from Gear's throat.

 

The romantic night had just begun, shared with the one he loved with all his heart.
