Broken In Pieces [Discontinued]

Broken In Pieces
---------------------

“But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the comfort of my lips would relieve your grief.”

(Job 16:5)

Chapter Six

“So, this is Yardrat.” Bardock said under his breath. Two days had passed since his conversation with Gratto on Namek. Unfortunately, Gratto had been unable to keep his promise to find time for their relationship to reach the next level.

Sharing such a confined area with Raditz and Kakarrot left Gratto so restricted he could not even sneak a kiss with his new partner. Bardock had to admit that he was a more than a little disappointed with the lack of physical relief.

He tightened his fist. He would force his body to wait if he had to. He may be Saiyan, but that did not mean he would pounce on a virgin. He worried about hurting Gratto. ‘Maybe it’s not such a good idea.’ As if he could read minds, Gratto shook Bardock’s shoulder lightly and smiled at him.

“Don’t worry.” Gratto said as he passed Bardock at the ship’s door.

Bardock stood at the doorway, staring at Gratto’s retreating form. Gratto had agreed to make the proper introductions, as he was the only one fluent in the planet’s native language. Bardock decided to wait with his sons, but he did not linger alone long. Kakarrot and Raditz soon made their way out of their bunks and walked up to their father.

“Where’s Gratto?” Raditz asked absentmindedly. He rubbed his still tired eyes.

“He went to meet with the locals. We talked about this last night.” Bardock grinned at his son.

“Oh, right. Sorry, I forgot.” Raditz yawned.

Kakarrot nodded and strolled past his father. Bardock watched his youngest exit the ship quietly and disappear into the nearby tree line. Raditz finished rubbing his eyes and ran after his brother.

Bardock found he was alone for the first time since Namek. Typically, he was not fond of silence or solitary isolation, but he felt comforted on the empty ship after all the attention he had gotten from Gratto.

Gratto had been smirking and staring at him constantly over past couple of days. He could understand Gratto’s interest. He remembered his first time – all those years ago.

Saiyans usually had sex before mating. Bardock began his sexual journey when he was only sixteen. He smirked at the memory. In hindsight, he probably was not the master that he thought he was in his testosterone driven youth. Bardock dated a few men before meeting his mate.

Bardock sighed and walked back towards the control panel. The screen blackened since arrival; now acting as a mirror, Bardock pushed down the top of shirt to reveal a very faint mate mark.

With his mate, Bardock knew from the beginning that they were supposed to be together. He was younger and without many worries. Everything had changed since then.

He studied his reflection. Grey hairs kissed his receding hairline. Short stubble framed his thin jaw. Kakarrot’s ordeal had stripped Bardock of his remaining youthfulness. Concern and dread seemed to be etched into his skin, particularly evident near his eyes and mouth. He pulled himself away from the screen and nearly ran into Gratto.

“Everything is in order. I got us a couple of rooms at a village nearby.” Gratto beamed.

“A couple of rooms?” Bardock arched an eyebrow.

“Yeah, they only had two. Well, they initially only had one, but I convinced them that two rooms were needed.” Gratto grinned from ear to ear.

“How’d you do that?”

“I told them you and I had just mated and needed our own room” Gratto winked at Bardock playfully.

“You did what?” Bardock’s eye went wide.

“Calm down. You said the boys can’t speak a word of the Yardrat language, right?”

“Yeah, and?”

“Raditz and Kakarrot won’t know any differently. They have their own room and we have ours. Not a big deal. They are grown boys. They wouldn’t want you sleeping in the same room with them anyway.” Gratto nudged Bardock’s arm when he did not offer up a response.

“Don’t worry about it.” Gratto gently held Bardock’s shoulders. “Relax. Enjoy yourself tonight.”

“You say that now. Wait till we get our alone time. You’ll probably be just as nervous as you were the last time.” Bardock place a hand atop Gratto’s and squeezed it lightly.

“Don’t sell me short. I have some tricks up my sleeve. I may be physically inexperienced, but mentally, I have been doing this for years.”

Bardock chuckled. “I’m sure.”

“Let’s go get the boys, so we can get settled in.” Gratto pulled Bardock by the hand out of the ship and towards the trees. After finding Raditz and Kakarrot, the group set of for their accommodations. Gratto held his nervousness and anticipation inside while showing a calm face in front of the younger Saiyans. He could hardly believe that after the night was over he would no longer be a virgin.

A few hours had already passed. Bardock took a large gulp of water, hoping to swallow his nervous anticipation with it. Kakarrot and Raditz made no objection about Gratto and Bardock having their own room. Bardock was initially worried that Raditz would get a hint of what was going on since he had a sexual relationship in the past.

If Raditz did know anything about Bardock and Gratto’s relationship, he conveyed no sign of it. He smiled and acted no differently. Kakarrot said little, but that was typical now. Bardock wondered if his son would ever get better. He sighed quietly.

Bardock felt a growingly familiar hand on his thigh. Gratto was a very attentive partner. He had to admit. His mate had been the same way. Bardock could not help but connect with Gratto’s kind nature. He relished the comforting touches that Gratto so freely gave. He smiled to himself.

‘I better reward him later.’ He thought before continuing his meal.

“Goodnight, Kakarrot. Goodnight, Raditz.” Bardock said before he retreated from the doorway of their room. Kakarrot was already asleep, facing away from the door. Raditz stirred and made an inaudible reply. Bardock stood outside the door until he heard soft snoring.

Even after twenty years, the sound of his sons’ gentle breathing soothed him. When his mate died, Bardock would watch his sons sleep at night. He was comforted by the gentle look on their faces. He would trace his mate’s likeness in each of their faces.

He smiled remembering the one time he had been caught. Before he could recall the instance to himself, he heard Gratto call for him. He decided to save the memory for another time. Right now, Bardock had other matters to attend to.

“There you are.” Gratto smiled as Bardock entered the room.

Bardock closed the door and padded over to Gratto. He stood hesitantly at the edge of the bed. “Are you sure about this?” Bardock looked down at Gratto sprawled out on the bed. He had already taken off his shirt. The show of flesh was testing Bardock’s resolve. He had to hold himself back from attacking Gratto.

“Yes, of course I am.” Gratto leaned forward and pulled Bardock down on the bed.

Bardock steadied himself by placing his hands on either side of Gratto’s head. He ended up straddling Gratto unintentionally. His clothed butt was pressed against an already excited Gratto. Bardock took in a sharp breath. He did not think things would progress this quickly.

“It’s okay.” Gratto smiled. “I told you not to worry.”

“It’s been so long. I don’t know if I can…” Bardock hid behind the waterfall of his raven hair as he spoke. His nerves were getting to him.

“Don’t worry about it, Bardock. You’re dealing with an amateur. You don’t have to prove anything to me.” Gratto lifted Bardock’s chin to look into the rich chocolate eyes. “Just enjoy yourself. Okay?”

“Okay.” Bardock was barely able to say before lips crashed against his. He leaned into the kiss and wrapped his arms around Gratto’s back. Within seconds, Bardock’s need overtook his mind. He devoured every taste Gratto gave to him, licking and sucking on Gratto’s lips and then his tongue.

Bardock heard a moan come from Gratto’s throat, so he left his lips and kissed a trail to his neck. He sucked on the soft skin of Gratto’s neck before heading lower. Bardock took a nipple between his teeth, causing Gratto to nearly scream in ecstasy. He smiled against Gratto’s chest before continuing his work.

After a few more groans from Gratto, Bardock moved to the untouched nipple. He licked and sucked on it while pinching the other. He stole a few glances at Gratto, whose head was thrown back in pleasure.

He worked the nipple over for several minutes. He then sat back on the bed and pulled off his shirt and pants.

Gratto looked up just as Bardock’s pants came off.

Bardock had hoped he would be everything that Gratto had been expecting, and from the look on his face, Bardock figured he might be.

Gratto stared at Bardock’s member for a few moments before looking up at Bardock incredulously. “Are you kidding me?” He said.

“What?” Bardock replied, slightly shocked and a little afraid.

“How do you expect that,” Gratto pointed at Bardock’s penis, “to fit in me?”

Bardock laughed loudly. “I don’t know.” He said. “Are you having second thoughts?” Bardock did not want to back away now, but he would if Gratto was uncomfortable.

“No way, I’m just surprised. I’ve never seen another man’s stuff before.” Gratto tried to look at ease.

“You sound like a teenager. You know that?” Bardock grinned.

“What do you expect me to sound like? I might as well be a teenager – as far as experience goes.” Gratto sat up and crossed his arms over his chest.

“Don’t get mad. It’s cute and refreshing.” Bardock sat next to Gratto.

“Refreshing?” Gratto dropped his arms and titled his head slightly.

“Yeah. It’s been many years since my first time. This reminds me of it. Being with you is new and exciting. I haven’t had that in a long time.”

“I’m glad then.” Gratto smiled at Bardock.

“Alright, it’s your turn now.” Bardock pointed at Gratto’s pants. “Let’s see it.”

“Okay.” Gratto stood and grabbed the top of pants. “I’m just warning you. I’m not as gifted as you.”

“Don’t worry, remember? You don’t have to prove anything to me.” Bardock repeated Gratto’s words.

“Fine.” Gratto inhaled and exhaled deeply before pulling his pants down and dropping them on the floor. He waited for Bardock to speak, but when nothing came, he questioned him. “Well?”

“Come here.” Bardock said in a husky voice.

Gratto took a few steps to stand in front of Bardock. He covered his mouth to keep from screaming when he felt warm wetness surround him. “What are you doing?” He breathed.

Bardock pulled back from Gratto’s member and said, “Just enjoy it.”

Gratto did as he was told. His eyes clenched shut. The feeling of Bardock’s mouth engulfing him as his tongue swirled against the head was nearly too much for Gratto.

Within less than a minute, Gratto felt himself nearing his climax. He gripped Bardock’s shoulder. When Bardock did not back away, Gratto mumbled a warning. “I am going to…”

Gratto felt Bardock’s hands grip his hips, holding him still. Gratto took this as sign from his partner and rode the waves of his powerful climax. When he finished, Bardock pulled back and wiped his mouth.

“I’m so sorry.” Gratto fell to the ground. He was so embarrassed. He told himself all day that he would control himself, but he had already failed at that.

“For what?” Bardock was confused.

“For what I just did. I didn’t mean to finish in your mouth. I’m sorry. I understand if you don’t want to do anything else.” Gratto reached for his pants, ready to pull them on and end his relationship with Bardock.

“Are you serious? You didn’t do anything wrong.” Bardock grabbed Gratto’s hand and pulled him into his lap. “I told you to enjoy it. You did, right?” Bardock rubbed Gratto’s back softly.

“Yes - very much.” Gratto stared past Bardock’s face.

“Then, you did nothing wrong.” Bardock moved his face in front of Gratto’s and smiled. “I’m glad you liked it.” Bardock kissed Gratto sweetly as he ran a hand up his back and into his thick hair.

Gratto smiled back at Bardock when the kiss ended. “Thank you.”

“I know another way you could thank me.” Bardock winked.

“Bardock, I don’t know if I’m ready for the whole thing yet. I…” Gratto felt ashamed. He had led Bardock on, but after what had just happened, Gratto did not feel like he could handle any more tonight.

“It’s okay. We can take it slow.” Bardock reached for Gratto’s hand and squeezed it.

“What about you? Do you want me to…?” Gratto motioned towards Bardock’s limp penis.

“Yeah, if you don’t mind.” Bardock grinned.

“How do I?” Gratto looked at Bardock sheepishly.

“It’s just like how you’d do it for yourself.” Bardock placed Gratto’s hand on his dick.

Gratto swallowed and nodded. He wanted to make Bardock feel as good as he had made him feel. He began with slow strokes, trying to work Bardock back up. He picked up the pace when Bardock hardened.

Bardock lay down on the bed and watched Gratto touch him. He felt the pressure building up already. When he felt Gratto’s other hand massaging his balls, he lost control. He released ten years of pressure into Gratto’s hand and onto his own stomach. He breathed heavily for several minutes before steadying himself.

“Thank you.” Bardock said as he pulled himself up from the bed.

Gratto simply smiled at him. His first time with another man had finally happened. ‘What a memory.’ He thought while Bardock cleaned himself.

When both Saiyans were clean and clothed, Bardock stretched out on the bed, pulling Gratto into his embrace as he went. Gratto was lulled to sleep by the sound of Bardock’s strong heartbeat beneath his ear.
