Chapter 24
Benji stood panting, trying to calm himself while Stephen gave every appearance that he was going to have a melt down at any moment.
“You okay?” he asked.
Stephen took another deep breath and let it out in a stuttering sigh. “You swear you won’t tell anyone. No one can know.” His eyes shot around the horse stall they stood inside, starting to look desperate and his previously rock hard shaft had wilted. He wore an expression that was a sad combination of terror and lust. The tremors running through him had become obvious.
“Stephen, it’ll be okay. I swear I won’t tell anyone. We’re just…playing around like you said.”
Benji studied the hot eighteen-year-old, trying to control the bad case of horny that was taking over every thought he had. He was trying desperately to help him understand this wasn’t a bad thing, when all he wanted to do was rip off Stephen’s jeans and suck him off.
“How about we start out with something easy. Maybe we can make out a for little while,” Benji said.
“Kissing! I can’t kiss another guy. That’s just too—gay.”
Benji rolled his eyes. Me sucking him off is straight? He considered the other young man for a few moments and then stepped closer. “You said you wanted to see what it was like to be with another guy. Kissing is an easy start. Nothing we do is going to make you gay if you aren’t. It’s not like anything will turn you gay—or bi or whatever. You are what you are.”
“I don’t know. What’ll happen. You know what people say.”
Benji sighed and started fastening his pants. “Look. I’m not going to jump you or anything. And I’m sure as hell not going to beg you to just fucking kiss me. Let’s go before this turns into something we both regret.”
“But—.” Stephen looked stricken.
Benji stopped, his anger at the whole situation starting to grow. “Look, you have to decide. But this, what we’re doing. Yeah, it’s not working.”
Stephen looked panicked, but Benji didn’t care any more. He’d had this dance before. Bi curious guys wanting to see how it feels, and afterwards they feel so guilty that they never talk to him again. He’d be damned if he would do that again. Stephen needed to grow a pair and then maybe they’d try this again. He turned to leave when Stephen lunged after him.
“Wait!”
Benji turned with a deep sigh and no patience left. “What?”
Stephen stood there, his mouth opening and closing like a bass out of water. Benji shook his head and turned to leave. He’d had enough.
The star quarterback grabbed him, pulled him into a tight embrace and kissed Benji hard.
Benji careened from pissed to euphoria in a few heartbeats. The muscular hands almost covered his back and he leaned against Stephen as the kiss went on. His body responded and his shaft hardened. The big hands were like two brands across his back as Stephen’s tongue slipped between his lips. Benji submerged in the musk that surrounded him.
They eased apart and Benji swayed slightly as he struggled to recover. As their gazes met, he found Stephen grinning at him. Before Benji could utter a word, he leaned in and kissed him again. This kiss as sweet and innocent as the previous was hot and steamy.
They separated again, and this time Benji had recovered his thoughts. He reached up, enjoying the rough texture of Stephen’s beard under his fingertips. He traced them over Stephen’s lips and then kissed him quickly.
“Well, what did you think?” Benji said.
Stephen paused for a few moments and Benji started to become nervous. But then he turned to Benji and a smile grew until it covered his face.
“Well I might not be gay—“
Benji’s heart dropped in his chest.
“But I sure as hell ain’t straight.”
