87- Christmas Presents
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Present time. Rayan was all but forgotten with those words as the kids swarmed around Howard, eager for whatever trinkets had been prepared for them. Gail put on some festive music as packages were distributed, and boxes were exchanged. Damien was the only one who didn’t run off with the other kids. He was still busy at work with his picture.
“Damien! Damien! Look! You got a present too!” Sophie came bounding back over with two little packages, handing one to her brother before taking him by the hand and dragging him off. “Come on, let’s go open them together!”
“They’re some good kids,” Rayan sighed wistfully, admiring his newly colorful bandages.
“You did very well with such a large group of kids. I’m impressed.” Scott leaned in to steal a kiss.
“I like kids well enough, I just don’t get much opportunity to interact with them.”
“Well, either way, I believe my father an

Mark Me Yours 88- Welcome Back
Michael couldn’t help fidgeting with the zipper on the coat Edwardo had gotten him for Christmas. The bodyguard Mr. Sanchez had promised to assign him sat next to him in the waiting area of the airport terminal, and the Sanchez family jet was taking absolutely forever to arrive…New Year’s had been a somewhat private thing at Scott’s parent’s place, which had given him the perfect opportunity to fish for advice with the issue at hand. He’d even been able to ring in the new year with Edwardo through a video call. It was certainly better than last New Year when he was stuck with Rayan at work with a skeleton crew because everyone else had called out, and a nice little break from the drama. Getting to sign Rayan’s casts was a nice touch too, since it completely slipped his mind until he saw all the cute little scribbles on them.Speaking of Rayan’s casts, they were supposed to be coming off today
Mark Me Yours 90- Heart To Heart
“So…” Edwardo shifted his hips a little further out so his body didn’t accidentally ruin the moment.“So…?” Michael echoed.“Michael, you know I’m sorry for hurting you, right?”“I know.”“And how the last thing I ever want to do is hurt you again, right?”Michael didn’t respond right away. Thinking about what happened still left a sour taste in his mouth, and he knew this whole thing was supposed to clear the air, but he still dreaded talking about it.“Eddie, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking since that night, and even more thinking since your brother sent me that video. I mean, I’m still kind of mad, and I’m definitely hurt, but I can also see why you did what you did. I mean, I’ve been kicked around by all that ‘heteronorma

“Oh GROSS!” Rayan exclaimed in disgust. “Why does it smell so bad?!’“Well, I told you there would probably be a little smell,” Scott said levelheadedly, “It’s not that bad.”Scott was doing his best to look unbothered for Rayan’s benefit, but was stealthily breathing through his mouth. The whirring sound of the mini saw echoed through the exam room. The long awaited day for Rayan’s casts to come off had finally come. The physician in charge had taken Rayan’s larger leg cast off first, and the stench coming off the limb was nearly unbearable.The whirring stopped, and with the hard protective layer of the other leg cast removed, the physician set to cutting away the gauze underneath. Rayan would have been ecstatic about having both legs finally free, except of course that the smell got worse.“You’re doing great,&rdqu
Mark Me Yours 91- Payback
The physical therapy session ended just in time for a late lunch. Rayan had been given a little goodie bag with some stress balls and elastic resistance bands, along with a rather nice water bottle and a thick pair of slipper socks with the rubber grips on the bottom. Considering how cold it was outside, it was the socks Rayan was most thankful for. In their rush to make the morning appointment, Scott and Rayan both forgot he would need a pair of shoes.The chilly weather wasn’t about to put a damper on Rayan’s mood! He had a stress ball in each hand as he was loaded into the car, and even started pressing his feet against the floor like he’d been shown how to do after he was buckled in. None of it went unnoticed, of course. After loading up the wheelchair and hopping in the driver’s seat, Scott asked his little body builder where he wanted to go eat.“Oh, can we go to that Middle Eastern place again?” Ray

“Inside…” Rayan begged. “I want you inside…”Scott couldn’t resist teasing a little, especially when Rayan’s voice sounded like that. “What do you want inside? You have to tell me…”“Your dick…” Rayan played it up, well aware of this game and currently loving every minute of it.““But, didn’t you have my dick in you earlier…?”“Scoooott-!” Rayan whined.“I know, I know…” Scott chuckled and offered a placating kiss. “I’ve got an idea, so bear with me a sec, okay?”Scott helped Rayan roll off of him before going to retrieve Rayan’s foam support pillows from where they’d been so unceremoniously tossed on the floor that morning. Rayan wasn’t too amused at first. He wasn’t fo

“Let me think about it?”Michael’s words replayed themselves over and over and over again in Edwardo’s head. It hadn’t been an outright “no,” but Edwardo knew the second his question left his mouth that morning that their relationship was nowhere near repaired enough to ask such a thing.Let me think about it…It had barely been a week since Edwardo came back from his family holiday in Mexico, but that night had been the only one they had together. They hadn’t even had a chance to go on a proper date yet either. Back with the Christmas rush and shopping season Michael had worked nearly every day, and Edwardo always looked forward to seeing he got home safely. Now with that all over with, Michael didn’t get anywhere close to as many hours as before, and with fewer excuses to see each other Edwardo had to admit he was kind of lonely…T
Mark Me Yours 94- Panic
Edwardo waited patiently for Michael to finish his meeting with the city’s creative planning department. With his entire afternoon open, he wasn’t about to miss out on a prime date opportunity. Besides, he remembered Michael saying something about his friend’s court case starting soon, and how he was supposed to testify as a witness. Once that got started they’d miss out on their afternoon activities for sure. Edwardo had offered to go to the courthouse with him as moral support, but Michael insisted he could handle it. Edwardo wasn’t too sure about that though. Sure, on the outside Michael seemed as cheerful and spunky as ever, but Edwardo had a sneaking suspicion at least some of it was getting to him. In fact, Michael hadn’t quite seemed right since their fight. Granted, they still hadn’t officially made up, and they haven’t gotten to spend much time together since Edwardo got back, but something was definitely off. His first clue was
Mark Me Yours 95- Aftercare
“Wanna go… t’ your house…” Michael mumbled pathetically.“Okay, we’ll go hang out at my house for a while.” Edwardo leaned in to kiss Michael’s forehead. “Let’s get you buckled in, okay? And here, let’s put the seat back a little so you can relax.”Michael didn’t fight any of it, letting Edwardo move him around like a ragdoll. After getting Michael situated, Edwardo caressed his boyfriend’s face affectionately before removing his coat to drape it over Michael’s body. Only once Michael was situated to his satisfaction did he close the door and get in on the driver’s side.“Alright, off to my place we go!” Edwardo said cheerfully. “Just leave everything to me!”Michael curled around in the seat so he was facing Edwardo. His head was all muddled and fuzzy, and exhaustion pulled

Michael kept his voice low so the guests outside the tent couldn’t hear him over the music. “Okay, the kids just started walking. Are you really sure you don’t need to use these?” Michael held one of Rayan’s forearm crutches to him, which had been a vast improvement to the walker in Rayan’s opinion. Rayan shook his head, picking up his bouquet. “The weather’s been good the past few days, and I made sure to take a little extra pain reliever this morning. I’ve been practicing in secret, and Scott doesn’t know I’m okay for short distances. Besides, I’ve got your shoulder I can lean on.” “Look, I just don’t want you falling on your wedding day. If you go down, you know I’m not strong enough to catch you.” They shared a look, and Michael threw his hands up, admitting defeat. Michael helped Rayan out of the chair he’d been sitting in, and resigned himself to be a living crutch for a little while. R

Scott sighed contentedly in his dream. He was surrounded by mountains of soft, fluffy pillows. Or were they clouds? It was hard to tell. Rayan was in his dream too. He loved dreaming about Rayan.Dream Rayan was being particularly and delightfully naughty. Dream Rayan kept rubbing against his leg, a positively lewd expression on his face. Sometimes he and Dream Rayan had clothes on, sometimes they didn’t. Scott could tell Dream Rayan was trying to say something, but he couldn’t quite make out what it was. Dream Rayan seemed truly desperate, practically humping his thigh.Scott loved dreams like this. He reached out, wanting to touch all the sensitive areas he knew would drive Rayan, and by extension Dream Rayan, absolutely crazy. But he couldn’t move? Dream Rayan started kissing his face, and running his fingers through his chest hair. He wanted to tell Dream Rayan to do whatever he wanted with his body, but he couldn&rsquo

Scott had something extra special booked for them after lunch. It was a special massage and treatment package the resort only offered around the holiday. So, as they had been getting accustomed to, they changed into their underwear and the plush robes provided for them and made their way to the designated room for their appointment.The room already smelled heavenly, with the scent of warm chocolate filling the air. Scott and Rayan were made to sit in special chairs with foot baths attached as the full team of professionals got to work.Fresh rose petals were added to the pleasantly warm water, and while their feet soaked, Scott and Rayan were reclined in their chairs. They each got a manicurist to start on their hands, while a masseuse started their facials. Both treatments started with a scrub said to be made of coffee ground s and cocoa nibs, which was supposed to help exfoliate the skin. In Rayan’s opinion, the gritty feeling tickl

Rayan lazed in the bed with Scott’s head pillowed on his chest. Here lately, there’s been some mornings where they’d wake up like this with their typical cuddling roles reversed. It was nice. Rayan liked getting the chance to play with Scott’s hair, and look down at Scott’s peacefully sleeping face. It gave him a very addictive warm and fuzzy feeling.Scott stirred a little, wrapping himself more securely around his fiance’s torso. “Happy birthday,” he murmured into Rayan’s nightclothes.Rayan continued gently raking his fingers through his fiance’s hair. “Happy Valentine’s Day,” he responded quietly.“I love you so much…”“I love you so much too!” Rayan chuckled, amused by Scott’s half-asleep voice.Scott started humming the happy birthday song as he shimmied up to

“This feels like a really long trip just to go to a spa. I really don’t get any more hints than that?”Rayan fiddled with some ankle weights so he could keep up with a modified version of his seated exercise regimen. He and Scott had packed up last night, four days’ worth, and left the city early this morning. Rayan knew this was his much hinted at birthday trip considering Valentine’s Day, also his birthday, was the day after tomorrow. Frustratingly, “going to the spa” was the only hint Scott had given him for over a week. And they’d already been in the car for almost two hours now.“We are going to a spa,” Scott said good naturedly. “We’re just not going to one in the city. Don’t worry, we’re maybe half an hour out right now.”Outside the car window the scenery sped by, and there was still a touch of snow left on the ground under
Mark Me Yours 103- Moving Forward
Michael ended up cheekily turning down Edwardo’s proposal that day. Not completely, he just insisted on getting something a little more public and romantic. The next few weeks went by in a flash. In the wake of the historical verdict, omegas all over the country were suing their workplaces for discrimination and harassment. Reporters were swarming for interviews now more than ever, going so far as to stakeout Rayan’s physical therapy clinic, Scott’s parent’s bakery, and even Edwardo’s home. Irritating was an understatement, and while the public’s opinion was mixed most media was at least putting the events that happened in a positive light. Michael, for his part, had completely devoted himself to the city’s PR campaign after quitting Howard’s bakery with an apology. With Edwardo’s help he was finally able to start some psychotherapy, even if he wasn’t sure it was helping yet. He and Edwardo had finally finished getting the rest of Michae
Mark Me Yours 102- Stay With Me
“Michael, you don’t have to force yourself.”Edwardo said it out of concern. Michael had barely gotten the tip in, and it was clear how uncomfortable he was. The fact that he’d lost his own erection was a dead giveaway.“I’m not giving up,” Michael grit his teeth, sliding down a little further. “You’re just bigger… than the toys I’m used to…”Edwardo wracked his brain trying to think of a way to help. It’s not like he could magically make himself smaller, but his Dulcito was obviously not enjoying himself anymore. Edwardo slid one of his hands up, letting his thumb slip under Michael’s bikini top to find the nipple hiding there. The surprised gasp was encouragement enough to continue with the teasing, so he slid his other hand up to make sure he was providing a proper distraction.Michael had both hands braced
Mark Me Yours 101- First Time
And that little conversation is how Michael found himself alone in Edwardo’s expansive walk-in closet. He’d lamented that he had nothing here to wear to make their first time special, but apparently Edwardo had a dirty little secret that offered the perfect solution. So, while Edwardo was busy filling one of Essie’s chew toys with peanut butter, Michael got to have his own lingerie themed Christmas.Now, Edwardo’s closet was bigger than Michael’s bedroom at home, and Edwardo himself used very little of it. Michael couldn’t help feeling a little envious his first time seeing it, with all its racks and drawers and cubbies, and especially it’s makeup vanity and floor length mirror. Michael could move in everything he had, and there’d still be at least half the place empty. But today, Michael found out that the closet’s cabinetry wasn’t as empty as expected.Edwardo probably had twenty
Mark Me Yours 100- Privacy Please
Guilty… Guilty… Guilty on all charges. The jury’s verdict seemed to hang in the air. The judge banged his gavel, quieting the whispers of the spectators.“In the case of Rayan Neel vs. the shipping company, the defendant is hereby found guilty of all charges, and is hereby required to pay all medical and rehabilitation costs, plus pain and suffering.”The judge’s decree rang out clearly, followed by a very final sounding bang of the gavel. The bailiff gave the order for everyone to stand, and the judge left the courtroom. It was over. The big important trial was over. Some might have expected a cheer, but it was more a collective sigh of relief. An omega had sued a large company for discrimination, and won. Rayan won.The room emptied in relative quiet, the few that had been allowed to spectate barely whispering amongst themselves as they left. Soon enough, it was only Scott, Rayan,
