Their sessions had never been about Jason's pleasure. They weren't supposed to be and that was by design. Hell, they hadn't even introduced the idea of sex into their sessions until they'd worked together long enough for Jon to be comfortable with him. But even then, the focus was on Jon's pleasure. His own was just a lovely side effect. This time was no different, Jason was fully intending to just ignore his own body until it either went away or he could take care of it on his own.
Though, that was easier vowed than followed considering how absolutely captivating it was to watch Jon come like that. His breath hitched, his hips still only by willpower alone. Hearing his name from Jon's lips was a reward in and of itself and he shivered before reaching forward to gently cup that clean shaven jaw in his hand. "You're so fucking perfect. So good for me, thank you. Good boy..." He traced his thumb over Jon's lips, feeling the older man's heavy breathing as he came down from his orgasm.
He waited for the older man to recover a little before he pulled back enough to grab the damp cloth that he'd set aside. He carefully wiped the man's stomach and chest clean before he guided him to lay forward over the drop cloth, he head tilted to one side so he could still breath as Jason set to work gently removing the remaining needles and ribbon. There was no pain that went along with it anymore, Jason working skillfully to not overwhelm his Doc's overworked body.
That was part of why sex was much less common than the aftercare reading. One thing about Jonathan was once he was comfortable with someone, comfortable enough to let his guard down enough to allow intimacy, he enjoyed seeing a lover fall apart in his grasp. Jason was no different. The focus might be on Jonathan's pleasure, but he always tried to assure Jason finished as well if they were having sex.
That vow was unneeded, once the lanky one finished coming down and had some time to recover he fully intended to return the favor given tonight wasn't really transactional despite what they had said. Even if Jason left money, he knew Jason was here in his home because he chose to be. Just as he decided to leave him water every day and an expensive cup.
A rumbled noise was all that escaped him, but he did shiver once more, those lidded eyes landing on Jason as the mess was cleaned up. Allowing himself to be turned onto the cloth for the needles to be removed. Now and then he would twitch a little just from how his nerves were still sparking from how hard he had cum. "Thank you." He finally spoke after a few minutes and more needles removed. It was low, but not exhusted.
Sex for them had never been part of the aftercare. If sex was involved, it was very much part of the scene. It had taken too long for Jon to get comfortable enough with him to allow sex to be a part of anything at all for Jason to be willing to risk being too forward with it. Jon considered himself unlovable, after all. Their relationship was strictly transactional and sex as aftercare was intimate. Bonding. Too much for someone who was terrified of being actually seen. So Jason had kept their intimacy platonic and kept the sex as just another tool to satisfy his dear professor's lovely brain.
Which wasn't to say that he was against the idea, of course. He'd very much enjoy a chance to kiss the man without having to follow it up with a slap to the face or a sharp bite. He was just going to let Jon be the one to cross that bridge so that he didn't end up scaring the man away. All good things were worth waiting for, right? And Jon was a very good thing.
He smiled as he finished pulling the last of the needles from the older man's back, loosening the ribbon so it could also be dropped into the sharps container. Most of the needles had only drawn maybe a drop of blood, but there was no reason to keep a fluid locked loop of ribbon. The drop cloth was fluid locked to the older man, but that was fine because he'd always need one for Jon, but a piece of ribbon? Nah. It got tossed and then he was reached for the next compartment of his needle kit. The first aid compartment.
"You're very welcome. Thank you, for letting me indulge. This is iodine, it shouldn't sting too much." He touched the red soaked swab to the first puncture mark, circling both entry and exit before moving on to the next. He worked quickly, but carefully, taking his time to make sure each literal pinprick wound was safeguarded from infection before he started to untie Jon's hands from the rope harness, helping the man to move his arms one at a time after holding them in that position for so long, giving special care to make sure his wrists hadn't been damaged from struggling.
When Jon started coming to see Jason, it had been strictly pain, but when he became comfortable? Sex happened, sporadically. When both were okay with it, often just part of the scene, and Jay knew Jon's hangups. They were at a crossroads now where it could stay transactional or evolve, and honestly? Jon wasn't sure if he minded either way. He had always been a loner, but having someone around who seemed to genuinely care about his well-being? And didn't turn their nose in disgust at him? That was rare.
Without those bites or slaps, Jon expected the worst, and would spiral. Like a feral cat, he had to be slowly lead to new things. He thought about it all, sure. Jay had been the exception to his every rule. A little too young, very muscular, far too handsome, and yet? Jon was smitten in his own way.
That ribbon wasn't worth keeping, hell, Jon didn't think he was either. But, he was too tired to care much about anything. Moving as Jason instructed. Letting his dom clean up the wounds. Those tired blue eyes watching Jason. "Give me a few minutes, I'll take care o' you." His words mostly accent at the moment. A determination in his tired eyes, after all. He could easily see Jason had been affected. It was transactional in a way, but he didn't care at the moment. Jason deserved it, and Jon was nothing if not stubborn.
Jon was not only worth keeping, he was worth taking care of. Jason liked the moments after their scenes for the fact that he could fuss and, for the most part, the older man would let him. Tease him for it, maybe, but he'd allow himself to be rubbed and tended to and would humor Jay's requests to get him to drink. There were days when it didn't happen, of course. Nights when the scene wasn't as hard as what Jon needed or something had interrupted them to yank the professor out of his headspace prematurely, but Jason didn't expect tonight to be one of those nights.
Especially when that offer came, thick accent like warm honey against his ears. It was surprising, their fun didn't usually last much past the end of the scene. But for as much as Jason knew he probably should keep to the same rhythm of their previous times together...he very selfishly didn't want to discourage the older man. He settled for smiling, humming softly as he worked bony shoulders loose.
"A few minutes, hmm? I'd like to think you came harder than that, Doc. There's no rush. Close those pretty eyes and rest while I take this harness off of you. Then, you can settle Nightmare where he needs to go for the night and we can settle in and read a few chapters, hmm? See where the mood takes us." Light, playful. Not discouraging, but also not laying on the expectation of more. If it happened, it happened, but it didn't need to happen.
His hands were soft and warm as he started to untie the harness he'd wrapped around Jon's hips, and if he let his touches linger a little more than he usually would have...well, maybe he was testing the waters a little.
Jon had never had anyone to take care of him before. It could be argued that granny maintained him as one would any piece of farm equipment until he could maintain himself. Even now, the way he treats himself is more robotic than as a normal person should. He had his issues, and hang-ups. The only person he knew love from had hurt him over and over until he accidentally killed her. He didn't believe he'd ever be worthy of anything, a curse, and a pox on the house of Keeny.
Jay didn't even know about the Keeny's, here in Gotham he was just the professor who liked pain, horror movies and had an adorable bird. He was trying to make a life for himself, and despite how it may never be said, Jason was helping with that.
The tired accent a little more gravelly, as he spoke, it was true he had released harder than expected, and he pulled a lot out of him. Still, he wasn't as old as he seemed like, and he knew he could recover in a short while. While Jay's offers warmed something in him. "That sounds delightful, but after." He rumbled out. Shifting while Jay removed the harness, a light groan escaping at the lingering touches of those bony hips. "Come'ere."
Jason knew nothing about the Keeny's. All he knew was the tall, impossibly skinny Doc who'd begrudgingly allowed him to prove that he could hurt him in just the right way. He knew the tension in boney shoulders, the weight of the world pressing down over that narrow frame. He knew sarcasm and a dry sense of humor wrapped around painfully sharp wit. He knew pain in beautiful blue eyes that had nothing to do with the ropes or needles or slaps or cuts that Jason had given.
And, over the years, he'd learned that low, gravelly chuckle and deceptively strong fingers against his hips. He'd learned what that haunted face looked like free of stress and tension and the ghosts that he knew better than to ask about.
He didn't know the Keeny's, but he knew his Doc...and that was the important part.
The last of the ropes slipped free from the carefully crafted knots and Jason chuckled as he let himself toss the hank down next to his gear to be dealt with later. The drop cloth rustled as he climbed up onto the bed, trailing kisses and fingertips along Jon's body until he could lay out next to the older man, belly up and smiling as he idly curled his fingers in thick curls.
"Well, you got me. Now what are you going to do with me?"
Jason didn't need to know the Keeny's, hell if Jon had his way, his dom would never know about his family or where he came from. People always looked at him differently when they knew.
Jason was allowed to see the sides he hides from others, the pain in his eyes, what he can look like relaxed and even happy as he reads loud to Jason after their sessions. The years working together had made him someone to trust and open up too. He knew who Jonathan Crane really was, and that was all that mattered, just as Jon knew Jason was a softer person than he liked to show. Caring, supportive and someone who deserved more than life had given him.
As soon as the drop cloth rustled, and the kisses were trailed, a tired arm lifted and wrapped around Jason to haul him closer. Burying his face into Jason's neck. That pleasant rumble escaping as he felt Jason's fingers in his thick curly hair.
"Gonna hold you a few minutes, then we're gonna do whatever your heart desires. So start thinking on that, Jay." He muttered in that thick tired accent as he trailed soft kisses against the other's neck.
He chuckled softly as he was almost immediately caught in those lanky arms, the older man making a home for himself against the broad expanse of his chest. He wrapped his own loosely around Jon's waist, trailing his fingers along over sensitive skin as he sank down into the comfort of Jon's mattress. It struck him after a moment that they were cuddling, a new thing for them that had so casually happened that neither of them had really noticed. At least, he assumed Jon hadn't noticed.
He would have expected the man to pull away if he had. Pull away and maybe mumble a quiet apology, like laying in each other's arms was a line he couldn't cross without feeling like he was in the wrong. It made Jason smile to be allowed to press small, light kisses against the soft skin of his submissive's temple.
He didn't answer, didn't spoil the moment with words or suggestions. He simply allowed them both to exist in the moment, warm and content and wonderfully sated against the world outside that little bedroom. It was early to think about sleep, but the scene had been taxing and long and Jon was pleasantly exhausted in his arms. If sleep came, then so be it.
Who was he to turn away the chance to hold this tragically beautiful man all night?
