There’s something off.
Trey doesn’t know how he knows but the sensation is strong enough to pull him out of a deep sleep. He slowly blinks himself awake, giving his brain a few seconds to catch up to the rest of his body.
He’s in his bedroom, the moonlight peering in through the window the only source of illumination in the dark room. His alarm clock is telling him that it is currently 2:30 in the morning, just five hours after he went to bed with Cordell right beside him.
The newly appointed ranger uses the heels of his palms to rub the sleep out of his eyes. A small nagging feeling of wrongness reminds him of why he was awake in the first place. Maybe Cordell had the same feeling Trey did, his ranger senses sharpened with experience. Trey will nudge him awake just to make sure he wasn’t just imagining things.
Trey rolls over onto his side with a yawn, one hand ready to gaze over Cordell’s stomach when Trey’s hand is met with nothing but cool sheets. All of the exhaustion that lingered in Trey evaporated all at once, the rookie sitting up in bed alarmed.
Where in the hell was Cordell?
Trey looked around the dark bedroom, brown eyes making sure to comb over every dark corner and crevice that might hide a grown man.
“He must have gone to the bathroom.” His brain supplies, trying to look for a logical explanation. As Trey pats the empty spot on the bed beside him, he’s thinking that the bathroom might not be the answer.
Cordell runs hot at all hours of the day, the father of two acting as Trey’s personal furnace when they go to bed together. The sheets are too cool for a quick bathroom trip. That’s probably why Trey sensed something was off. He noticed the lack of Cordell’s body while he slept.
Trey scratched at the stubble on his chin, wondering where his boyfriend could be. Was he on a drive? Out for a walk? Did he go back to the Walker ranch in the middle of the night? That doesn’t sound like Cordell at all.
Trey starts to roll over to his other side to reach for his phone on his nightstand. If Cordell did leave his apartment, he probably texted him a reason after the fact. His arm is outstretched towards the device by the time he notices a flickering glow underneath his door. That was weird. Trey was sure that he turned off his decoration lights before he went to bed.
Did he leave the lights on before he left the house? Was Cordell hanging out in the living room?
“Let’s figure it out.” Trey says to the empty room, voice heavy with sleep.
With a flick of his wrist, Trey throws the comforter off of his legs and plants his feet on the hardwood floor. He rose with a yawn and padded out of the bedroom in search of his boyfriend.
Trey makes his way down the short hallway, every step bringing him closer to the blinking lights.
Trey enters the room like normal, noticing the Christmas decoration Cassie helped him put up around his apartment. Pieces of garland are draped over his curtain rods and the porcelain Christmas elves his mother sent him are hiding in the tinsel on his coffee table. He sees that his Christmas tree lights are on, white twinkle bulbs blinking in an alternating pattern around the decorated pine branches. It takes Trey a few seconds to register anything out of the ordinary when he surveys his living room until his eyes land on the most stunning sight he’s ever seen.
Right at the base of the Christmas tree knelt a 6 '5'’ Texas Ranger, pale bare skin presented in between red satin ribbon criss crossed around his body like a beautifully wrapped present. Trey’s jaw drops almost immediately, not knowing if he should marvel at Cordell’s body or Cordell’s impressive ribbon skills.
There’s a faint smirk on Cordell’s mouth, the curve of his lips turned upward in a corner while the rest of his body remains still in his tempting position.
Trey’s heart is hammering inside his chest, his blood running hot through his veins and straight to his thickening cock. A naked Cordell is good enough to get aroused but a naked Cordell tied up in soft looking ribbon and waiting just for him has Trey so hard so fast, it’s leaving him lightheaded.
Trey’s not sure how long he stares at the kneeling man in front of him, desperate to commit every little detail to memory. The way the blinking Christmas lights bounce across Cordell’s skin, creating shadows that shift every 2 seconds. Trey’s dick twitches at the way the ribbon is pulled taut over his boyfriend’s muscular thighs, wrapped twice over so he’s effectively immobile. Trey doesn’t know how he did it but Cordell ran the ribbon around his arms, the decoration tied in a bow at the base of his wrists.
Red strips also cross over Cordell’s collarbone and wide shoulders, the intersecting ribbon creating a triangle to display the chest hair Trey loves to play with. Trey is dying to get his hands on his boyfriend but he’s too stunned at the picture before him to move. Trey can hear how ragged his breath has gotten when Cordell finally speaks, his smooth baritone breaking the silence.
“It looks like you like my surprise for you.” Cordell chuckles as he stares at Trey’s pants pointedly.
Trey looks down to see where his boyfriend’s line of vision ended up. The thin sleep pants he was wearing couldn’t contain his obvious erection, his dick bulging against the flimsy fabric. Trey wasn’t embarrassed. This was the hottest thing he has ever seen.
“I think I need some verbal confirmation.” The bound ranger smiled. “For my own validation.”
Now that Cordell spoke, shattering an invisible barrier, Trey takes his first steps towards the Christmas tree and rushes over to the man now that he’s certain the image in front of him wasn’t a dream.
“Wow.” is the only thing Trey can come up with.
Cordell beams under the praise, hazel eyes twinkling as they look up at Trey. “I’ll take it as a good Wow.” His dimples deepen as he smiles, Cordell’s body relaxing into the tree skirt he’s kneeling on.
“It’s a fucking incredible Wow.” Trey responds almost immediately, not wanting to let Cordell think he was anything less than 100% enthralled with what he was seeing.
The Rookie Ranger reaches out once he’s standing right above his present, his fingers itching to touch the carefully placed ribbon. The material feels warm against his fingertips. “How? How did you do this?”
Trey has the perfect bird’s eye view of Cordell in this position and noted the way Cordell’s dick was already hard and leaking in between his thighs.
“With a lot of patience.” He laughs, his arms tugging against his binds. “I finished wrapping myself up maybe 15 minutes ago.”
“Fifteen minutes.” Trey repeats, still a little captivated by this surprise. “What if I didn’t wake up in time and you were here all night?”
Cordell takes a few seconds to think, his stubbled jaw working as he comes up with an answer but shrugs at Trey’s question. “I would have waited.”
That melts something in Trey, a pang of affection mixing in with the hot arousal in his gut. “What am I going to do with you?”
Cordell’s smile grew bigger, his hazel eyes glinting with mischief before he answered Trey. “I am at your mercy, Ranger Barnett.” Trey watches Cordell closely and sees the way his eyes flicker to his erection.
“Is this my present or yours?” Trey laughs, feeling giddy at knowing that Cordell wants this as much as he does too.
“It’s Christmas, Trey.” Cordell wiggles in front of him, shifting his weight on his knees as he speaks. “The season for giving and receiving.” His eyebrows raise up and down as he delivers his joke and Trey tries his hardest to suppress a groan.
“You’re lucky I love you.” He tells his living present. Trey runs a hand through Walker’s hair and trails it across his cheek until his thumb runs over Cordell’s parted lips.
Not wanting to waste more time, Trey pulls down his sleep pants just enough for his cock to jump out of its confines and into the fresh air. He can’t take his eyes off his lover, watching Cordell struggle to move toward the hard bobbing muscle in front of him.
Trey can feel hot breath graze across the tip of his dick, Cordell angling himself so that his upper body is tilted towards Trey’s cock. Trey sinks his hand into Cordell’s soft strands once the senior ranger’s mouth closes around his erection, pink lips wrapped around his shaft.
It’s warm and wet in Walker's mouth, Trey’s knees almost buckling when his boyfriend begins to suckle at the head. His fingers tighten around the brown locks, Trey’s hips mindlessly driving forward so that his cock nudges against the skin of Cordell's left cheek.
Cordell moans around the hard flesh in his mouth, the vibrating sensation sending jolts of arousal to Trey’s gut. Trey pulls his hips backwards, his dick sliding out of the ring of Cordell's lips before he pushes back in to see the bulge he makes against his boyfriend’s dick.
Spit glistens on Trey’s dark shaft as the new ranger fucks back in and out of Walker’s mouth, the twinkle lights shining across the wet girth. Trey can't help but groan when Cordell pulls off his dick with a popping sound, his head falling back onto his shoulders when his boyfriend snakes his tongue over his leaking head.
Cordell's tongue licks a stripe over the veins of Trey's cock, the tip of his tongue curving around the spongy head. Trey looks down and has to wrap his hand around the base of his cock to stave off his orgasm. Cordell looks like a dream come true with his mouth on Trey's member and the Christmas ribbon wrapped around his limbs.
Walker’s arms twitch against their festive bindings, his massive hands restless as he maneuvers his head to reach the majority of Trey's length. Knowing that Cordell is desperate to touch him causes Trey to feed more of his dick past his boyfriend's lips.
Trey's rhythm starts to pick up once he feels a familiar sensation growing in the pit of his stomach, his orgasm halfway ready to explode. Cordell hums in acknowledgement, the older man already knowing that Trey is near the edge, his cheeks hollowing out as he continues to suck him.
Trey curses as he comes, bursts of ecstasy spreading through his body as he shoots in Cordell's mouth. He can feel the bound ranger swallowing around his softening erection, warm pulses surrounding his flesh as Cordell continues to work him through his orgasm.
Trey's breath is shaky when he pulls himself out of Cordell’s mouth, his orgasm leaving his knees weak. He kneels down on the spot, lowering himself so that he is almost eye level with Cordell once he's situated.
Trey rushes forward to kiss his boyfriend, not caring that he was tasting himself in the slightest. Cordell returns the kiss, chasing Trey's mouth and almost toppling the both of them onto the hardwood floor.
"Holy shit," Trey says breathlessly, placing another kiss on Cordell's lips. He quickly runs his hands over Cordell's chest, tugging on the taut ribbons as he goes. "This is the best present anyone has ever received."
Cordell gives him a dimpled smile before shifts forward to kiss him again. "I love to hear it."
They share another kiss,Trey’s hands roaming all over Cordell's body and silky ribbon. Trey’s palm slides down his present's chest hair, stomach and pelvis before wrapping itself around his boyfriend’s previously ignored hard-on before Cordell quickly breaks the kiss.
"Wait wait wait." Cordell pleads, causing Trey to still his movements. "As much as I want to do this, my legs fell asleep like five minutes ago. "
Trey throws his head back and laughs. He lets go of Cordell's length and shuffles behind him to untie the bow at his wrists. He tugs the strands loose, unwinding the ribbon from around his arms, chest, and legs.
Trey helps his boyfriend up, grabbing Cordell's hand and lifting him to his feet. "Let's go to bed. I have to give you your present.”
