The cushions of the couch cradle him, providing a comfortable backdrop to his private ritual. His hand, strong and capable, wraps around his shaft, pulling and stroking with a familiarity that betrays his experience. The sound of his hand meeting his flesh is a rhythm, a beat that syncs with his heartbeat, his breath, his very existence in this moment. His eyes are closed, lost in the sensation, in the pleasure that's building, coiling tight in his belly. The room is dim, the only light the soft glow of the setting sun filtering through the blinds, casting stripes of light and shadow on his body. He's in his own world, in his own time, and he's loving every second of it.
