Sombat heard the garage door opener start to hum and he sat straight up in the chaise lounge by the pool. "He's home early. Where to today?"
He jumped up from the lounger and lit out toward the kitchen door, padding along on bare feet. Ham might go to the kitchen first. There was little reason he'd go into the study before going upstairs, though. Sombat scooted into the study as he heard the key turn in the lock of the door to the garage from the kitchen. He ducked under the desk. It was good that he was so small. There were many more places for him to hide—although he seemed to be running out of good places.
Ham did go into the kitchen first. Sombat could hear the refrigerator opening. That would be Ham pulling his first beer of the day. It must have been a rough day at the office—particularly irritating if Ham was coming home early. He'd be angry. He'd want to take it out on someone. Sombat felt his butt twitch and he let out a little moan.
He listened for the groan of that third stair tread from the bottom of the staircase leading up from the foyer to the bedroom level. His heart was beating a fast tattoo, but he felt it calm down when he heard the sound he'd been listening for.
Where would he try to hide today? Ham was getting so good at figuring him out. What would happen when it became too easy for Ham. Would Sombat be out on his tail? Where would he go? Ham was all he knew here. They'd met in Bangkok, where Sombat had been working as a masseur at the Senso Men's Club. Did they even have exclusively men's spas in California? Maybe he needed to look around at the possibilities of other daddies. He'd seen someone at the grocery store a couple of times who his thoughts kept going back to.
Ah, there went the sound of the shower. Just a few more minutes and Sombat could try to find someplace to hide. But where? Where would Ham not find him until the worst of his frustration and anger had dissipated. Sombat could usually count on the second beer helping with that on days like today.
Maybe where he'd least expect it—near where he started out. Sombat raced up the stairs, but silently, like a cat, helped out by his lithe dancer's body. He entered Ham's bedroom and looked wildly about, his ears trained to the master bath, to the sound of the volume of the water cascading in the shower.
Ham's clothes were strewn about in the room. Another sign of Ham's mood. Hamilton Sinclair was obsessive about neatness and order. Today must have really been rough.
Sombat's eyes went to the closet doors. No, too obvious. But wasn't that why he was looking to hide in here—taking advantage of the surprise of being too obvious? Two closets. Which one wouldn't Ham go to for a change of clothes? But even here, why did this matter? The mood that Ham seemed to be in, he wouldn't bother with a change of clothes.
The closet on the right then. Sombat had barely slipped into that closet when he heard the water shut off in the shower. He hunkered down in the dark behind a long line of suits, making his body as small and unnoticeable as possible, and closed his eyes tight, as if that made him invisible.
He listened to Ham come out of the bathroom and walk around in his bedroom a bit before hearing him leave the room. Sombat listened for the creak on that other step on the staircase, near the top. When he heard it, he exhaled, only then realizing he'd been holding his breath since the shower turned off.
He waited for a few more minutes and then decided that the balcony outside the master bedroom would be a much better place than this. If he was successful, and Ham didn't find him downstairs, Ham might decide to come back upstairs and get some clothes on before searching further—or maybe after having lost interest in the hunt and deciding to settle in front of the TV set with another beer.
Stealthily, Sombat moved toward the front of the closet. He disturbed a rack of shoes, but there hadn't been much noise involved in that—certainly not enough to be heard from downstairs. He opened the closet door slowly, wincing at the slight squeaking sound one of the doors had made. It wasn't loud, but under these circumstances it sounded like a screech. Had it sounded this loud when he'd gotten into that closet? He didn't think so.
In a low crouch, he started to move across the room, toward the balcony.
Ham landed on his back, with a growled "Gotcha" that flattened Sombat on the carpet. Ham was twice Sombat's bulk, and, despite his age, he worked out hard and was all muscle and meanness.
The breath had been knocked out of Sombat, but he was quickly on the move, trying to wriggle out of Ham's grasp. Despite the disparity in size, Sombat was able to get up on all fours and was struggling across the carpet, trying now to reach the door to the corridor, where he stood a chance of shaking Ham off and scurrying someplace else, if only for a few minutes of respite.
But Ham was too much for him, covering the small Thai's back with his body and forcing Sombat's chest to the floor. Sombat tried to flatten out on his belly too, but Ham jerked him back up to his knees with a fist in Sombat's lower belly, which made him exhale in pain.
Then Sombat was screaming out in pain and violation, as he felt the back of his Speedo being pulled down below his butt cheeks and fingers, already greased, invading his ass. He writhed and cried out as the fingers were replaced with Ham's already-sheathed cock, and Ham started to pump him hard and fast.
With a whimper of resignation, Sombat stopped fighting Ham and lay under him, calmly taking the cocking and moaning softly.
It must really have been a rough day at the office, though, because this wasn't enough for Ham. He wanted more fight in the hunt. Without notice, he rose off Sombat and stood there in a crouch, a nasty smile on his face, while, dazed and bruised, Sombat warily got to his feet. Ham's eyes went to the door to the corridor and then back at Sombat. This made Sombat's eyes go to the corridor too and instinctively set him in motion in that direction.
But as Sombat hurled himself toward the door, Ham's fist came up and caught Sombat in the midsection and he doubled up. Ham leaned down and picked Sombat's collapsed, moaning body up. The larger man twisted to the right and tossed Sombat onto the end of the bed in one heave, where Sombat landed on his back on the bed, once more breathless. He tried to scoot up the bed, but Ham grabbed his legs at the ankles and jerked him back to the edge, spread his legs wide, and hurled his body between them.
Sombat arched his back and cried to the ceiling as Ham thrust his cock home again and began to pump. The small Thai tried to struggle up, but Ham backhanded him and grabbed his throat with both hands, not choking off Sombat's breath impossibly, but enough for Sombat to know he could if he wanted to.
The Thai continued to writhe under Ham now. He knew this was what Ham wanted. It was what he wanted until he had ejaculated. Sombat knew that his mistake on the carpet had been to surrender too quickly. Ham's arousal was the hunt.
When Ham had come, both men calmed immediately. Without disengaging his cock, Ham took his hands away from Sombat's throat. One hand started to caress Sombat's body and the other went to the Thai's cock and began to stroke him to an ejaculation. Ham lowered his mouth to Sombat's and gave him a tender kiss and then worked his lips down Sombat's throat and to his nipples, which he gave considerable attention to.
This was the part that was OK with Sombat. After the struggle and the surrender, Ham liked to play with his subdued prey. This was the part where Sombat got what he needed—the main reason he hadn't tried to escape Ham before now.
Ham pulled out of Sombat and was gone for a moment. Sombat didn't move while he was gone. He was close to coming and he worked his own cock while Ham was gone. When Ham returned, having crowned himself with a new condom, he knelt between Sombat's legs and covered the Thai's cock with his mouth, working it until Sombat had come. Ham rose up over Sombat's body then and they shared a kiss laced with Sombat's cum.
As they were kissing, Sombat felt Ham's cock entering him again and now, in contrast to before, making slow, languid love to his channel. Sombat was sighing and moaning now like he hadn't done for the earlier fucking. Ham picked the young Thai's body up and he turned and sat down on the bed, with Sombat skewered in his lap. It was Sombat's arms wrapped around Ham's torso now, and his fingers laced into the hair at the back of Ham's head, and his lips greedily possessing Ham's, while he raised and lowered his channel on Ham's erect cock until he felt Ham shudder and come again.
They held for a few minutes, but then Ham rose off the bed and dumped Sombat's body to the side and was striding toward the bathroom for another shower as he growled over his shoulder, "You'd best start dinner. I'm going out this evening."
