Setting me up to Bring me Down
Duke set his glass down and informed Nathan and Audrey that he might as well lock up the bar downstairs, since the real party was at Audrey’s apartment anyway. He made his way down to the bar and locked the door behind him, then began putting the chairs upside down on top of the tables. He had his back to the door, so the knock that came after about the third chair was placed upside down made him jump. He turned to see Nathan waiting to be let in. Duke walked over and unlocked the door, letting Nathan in before locking it again behind the cop.
“You come to help me put up these chairs? Gotta say that was very considerate of you.” Duke knew Nathan had no intention of helping him close, but it was fun to give him no way to say no to it. Nathan started putting chairs up on tables and Duke smiled, it worked. Duke Crocker, master manipulator.
After all the usual closing duties were done, Duke stood behind the bar looking at the giant tote of Christmas decorations he had taken down earlier in the day. “I can’t believe the entire town thought it was Christmas.” He leaned against the beer cooler as Nathan stood facing him on the other side of the bar.
“Speaking of,” Nathan reached into his pocket and pulled out a small red envelope that was barely bigger than a business card. “I got something for you before-“ He handed it to Duke, “well, before.” And left it at that.
Duke looked at Nathan as he held the small envelope in his hand. “You got me a gift?”
Nathan nodded and put his hands in his pockets. “Yeah, it’s nothing special. Just open it before I take it back.”
Duke reached under the bar and came back with a gift bag decorated with penguins wearing Santa hats. He extended his arm to Nathan and shook the present until Nathan grabbed it. “Well, looks like great minds think alike.”
“You bought me a gift for Christmas?” Nathan held it and looked surprised. Duke nodded. “You go first.” He nodded at the contents of Duke’s hand.
“No, you.” Duke contested and Nathan gave him a look. “Fine, same time. Ready?” Nathan nodded. “Go.” They both opened their gifts and looked at each other.
“Seriously?” Nathan looked to Duke and pulled out the contents of his bag, a pair of handcuffs lined with black fur. “Duke.” He looked at him pointedly.
“What? I thought you would like to feel what it’s like on the other side of those things.” Duke smirked and held up the bright yellow card that had been inside the red envelope. “A Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card? Really? How will you play Monopoly with Parker now that your Community Chest is a card short?”
Nathan shrugged and walked around to the other side of the bar. “The thing about these-“ He held the cuffs up with one finger, “is that your assumption is wrong.”
“Oh yeah?” Duke cocked an eyebrow. “So you’ve been in cuffs before?”
“As a matter of fact, yes I have.” He unlocked one of the cuffs and looked at Duke. “But that pair had zebra print fur on them.”
“Oh yeah?” Duke asked. “And who was on the other end of those cuffs? Parker?”
Nathan turned the cuffs over in his hands and worried his bottom lip before shaking his head. “Nah.” He nodded to the card Duke was still holding. “Tell you what, you can use that right here, right now or you can save it for another time and we can test the strength of these cuffs.” He held the set of fur covered bracelets up and yanked on them to give Duke a better visual.
Duke glanced up at the locked door and then back to Nathan. “I have several meetings coming up this week-,“ Duke put the card back in the envelope and placed it on the counter. “This might be better used at a later date.” He stepped closer to Nathan, eyes hooded.
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.” Nathan closed the space between himself and Duke, handing the cuffs over to the taller man.
“Oh yeah?” Duke looked surprised. “I thought you’d be dying to slap these things on me.”
Nathan wrapped his hand around the back of Duke’s neck and pulled their mouths together into a rough kiss. Duke grabbed the front of Nathan’s shirt in his fist and pulled them as close together as he could; pressing his thighs against Nathan’s and tilted his head in an effort to consume Nathan as much as he possibly could. Duke was almost lightheaded from the contact, feeling every blood cell rushing to his cock. He was almost embarrassed at how quickly this whole thing was turning him on, but he knew what he was hoping for when he bought those cuffs. He should’ve been better prepared for this, should have expected this.
“Cuff me.” Nathan exhaled against Duke’s lips and Duke’s knees damn near buckled. Even if he had expected this, he couldn’t have possibly expected this. Duke grabbed Nathan’s shoulder and spun him around, pinning Nathan against the bar. Nathan put his arms behind him, letting Duke tug them into the right position to secure the first cuff onto Nathan’s left wrist.
“Too tight?” Duke asked, his thumb rubbing the skin on the inside of Nathan’s cuffed wrist. Nathan pressed his ass against Duke’s cock as a reply. “Jesus.” Duke muttered as he slapped the right cuff onto Nathan’s wrist.
Nathan stood up straight and turned to face Duke. “Got me where you want me?” He smirked.
Duke licked his lips and started unbuttoning Nathan’s shirt. “You have no idea.” The smirk left Nathan’s mouth and he lunged, arms secured behind his back, to make contact with Duke’s skin. Duke stopped unbuttoning and moved right to ripping Nathan’s shirt off. “You’d think a guy who asked to be handcuffed would have a bit more patience.” Duke tugged at Nathan’s pants, pulling the cuffed man into a kiss that made Duke’s cock throb with anticipation. “To be honest, I’m not sure I have the patience for any foreplay shit either. You look so god damn good in those cuffs. Now I know why you’re always so hot to get me in those things.”
Nathan nipped at Duke’s lower lip. “Maybe next time we can venture down that avenue.” Nathan’s eyes travelled down Duke’s body and then back up. “But right now I just really want you to fuck me. So let’s get this show on the road.”
Duke opened his shirt and pulled it off, tossing it to the ground. Nathan licked his lips again and Duke rubbed his chest, eyes on Nathan’s while they followed Duke’s hand down his belly to his crotch. Duke cupped his hard cock over his pants, kneading it for a moment before undoing the fly and pulling them halfway down his thighs. Duke wrapped his hand around his cock and stroked it slowly, keeping his eyes on Nathan’s reaction.
“This needs to speed up, I can’t take this shit.” Nathan growled the last word and it made Duke’s cock twitch. “Take my pants off.”
Duke grabbed Nathan’s face and kissed him slow, taking pleasure in the impatient groans coming from Nathan. Duke’s hands moved to Nathan’s belt, unbuckling it before making quick work of the fly to get Nathan’s cock free. Duke kissed Nathan’s neck and pinched the lobe of his ear between his teeth. “Best Christmas gift ever, seeing you all strung out and begging.” Duke knelt down and looked up at Nathan.
“Holy fuck.” Nathan’s head fell back and his hands tightened into fists behind him. “Jesus.”
“Didn’t expect this, did you?” Duke looked wholly too pleased with himself and Nathan couldn’t take his eyes off it. Duke held Nathan’s cock at the base and slid his mouth over it slowly.
“Fuck.” Nathan hissed and rolled his hips into Duke’s mouth. Duke wanted to take his time sucking Nathan’s dick, he really did. But there was a heavy reminder of what was waiting on the other side of that blow job hanging between his legs. Just the sight of Nathan this starved for his touch had Duke about ready to come like a horny junior on prom night. This needed to happen fast or the blow job would be the main course instead of the appetizer.
Duke hollowed his cheeks around Nathan, flicking his tongue over the nerves at the underside of the head. Nathan moaned with his mouth clenched shut and came against the back of Duke’s throat. Duke pulled his mouth off Nathan’s dick and swallowed, stroking Nathan through the little spasms that followed his orgasm.
Duke stood and ran his hand up Nathan’s chest. “You with me, partner?” He wanted until Nathan looked up at him, panting and nodded. “Good. Because round two is just around the corner. Turn around, Hoss.” Duke helped Nathan turn around and held up his hand. “Wait a sec.” Duke knelt down again and came back with lube.
“You keep lube in the bar?” Nathan breathlessly laughed. “Why am I not surprised?”
“A successful bar has a little of everything. Never leave your patrons wanting.” Duke popped the cap and squeezed out a healthy amount of lube into his hand. He ran his hand down Nathan’s ass cheek and slid a couple fingers into the crack of Nathan’s ass. “And you most certainly look like you are wanting.” He slid a finger into Nathan’s ass, letting Nathan get used to the pressure before adding another finger.
“Quit this shit and get to it.” Nathan pressed back before pulling himself off of Duke’s fingers.
Duke squeezed a bit more lube onto his cock and stroked it a few times. He pressed the head of his cock against Nathan’s hole and took a deep breath. This was fucked up and hot and all kinds of complicated, but he sure as hell wanted nothing more than to know what it felt like to have Nathan wrapped around his cock. So he pressed forward and rested his forehead on the back of Nathan’s neck. After a moment to pull his cells back together, he focused on the pace he wanted to set. He pulled out and slowly pushed back in while Nathan grabbed at skin with his hands shackled behind him.
Duke could only go slow for a few moments before his hips started moving on their own, brain me damned. Everything about Nathan was pulling Duke closer to climax. The smell of him. The sight of him, hands cuffed behind his back and his ass wrapped around Duke’s cock. The tight heat of Nathan’s body accepting him. The sounds Nathan was making as he was being fucked into the bar. It all added up to Duke feeling like he was at the helm of a runaway train. He couldn’t do anything but sit back and enjoy the ride before the inevitable fiery crash that was ahead.
Duke reached around and pressed his palm flat on Nathan’s stomach as he felt the tightness of his orgasm slamming into him. He stuttered a few kisses on the back of Nathan’s shoulder as he pumped through the aftershocks.
Duke pulled out of Nathan and turned Nathan around to face him. “Where’s the key?” Duke asked after going to the gift bag Nathan’s gift was in and finding it empty. Nathan, naked from the thighs up, walked over to Duke and pressed himself against the other man’s body.
“No rush.” Nathan licked at Duke’s lips and the other man leaned into the contact with a kiss. Duke grabbed Nathan’s face and deepened the kiss.
“I’m not trying to kick you out,” Duke ran his hand down the side of Nathan’s neck to his chest. “Just wanted your hands on me too.” Nathan turned and opened his hand behind him to reveal the key.
