“Just friends or friends that mess around?”
“God, you certainly get straight to the point. Why do you want
to know this?”
“Forget it,”
don’t know why I’m saying this shit. But did you like what we did?” He
swallowed hard.
“Yes.”
“Me too.” They both stopped talking when they spotted Mike
running back towards them with the missing book in his right hand.
“Got it.” Mike held the book in midair. “All aboard, peeps.” And
they were off.

Jace didn’t know if he should feel relieved or pissed at his
conversation with
On the upside at least the guy admitted what they’d done together.
He sat on the edge of his bed and glanced at his phone to check
his messages. Sure enough, there was a text from
the computer and at some point would hunt for food. Jace guessed his mom wasn’t
eating this evening since she hadn’t come out of her room when he came back. Once
again, she was having a bad day.

“That girl is into you,” Mike said. He’d stopped by
supper.

“Thanks, I think.” His didn’t dare take his eyes from the TV
screen. “She’s all right, in her own way.”
“But you’re not interested. Why the hell not? She’s decent
looking.”
for lack of trying. What little he did remember about her didn’t impress him.
She was annoying as hell, and what the fuck was up with that silly little
laugh? She sounded like a hyena. “Then you can date her.”
“Funny.” Mike sat back on the couch and picked at the hem of his
t-shirt.
“She’s annoying.” There, he’d said it. He neglected to leave out
the other reasons for his lack of interest.
Mike laughed. “I’ll give you that much.” He grabbed the remote
from the coffee table and flicked the channels. “Shit, shit and more shit. Is
there anything decent on anymore?”
“Fucked if I know.”
called out.
“Soda’s fine.”
He handed Mike a soda and sat down next to him. “I don’t think
your cousin likes me,” he said.
“Jace? He’s just a little off. By the way, I think you may be
right about him.”
“Right about what?”
“Him being gay. I asked him if he was.”
wondered if Jace had told Mike anything about them.
“He didn’t answer me, not really. I think he is, but isn’t ready
to admit to it openly yet.”
“That’s his choice. It can’t be an easy thing to do, if he is. A
lot of people aren’t that accepting.”
“I respect him. I told him it was okay if he was. It wouldn’t
cause me to look at him differently. It must be hard hiding something like
that. And how do you begin to find…you know, someone. This town is harsh enough
as it is. How do two guys know that they both like dick?”

“But think about it. Two guys doing it…Who gets to decide who
fucks who? Do they flip a coin or something?”
“We are not having this conversation.”
on the TV and not the weird conversation he was having with his good friend.
“It’s probably hot. It makes total sense when you think about
it.”
“Are you serious?”
“A guy would know what to do to another guy. It makes perfect
sense that it would feel pretty good.”
“I suppose. Let’s go out and do something. I’m bored as hell
here. There has to be something to do in this crappy town.”
“Are you okay?” Mike asked.
“Yup.” He said it a little too quickly for his liking.
“Great. I have an idea where we can go.”
“Lead the way,”

Jace felt his cock rise a little at the suggestion. “Sure. We
can afford a break. Maybe it’ll help stir some ideas.”
He followed

Instantly, Jace’s cock grew fully hard and he felt very warm all
over. He’d watched porn before, but never in anyone’s presence. “That’s…hot,”
he managed to mutter.
smiled. “Very.” He turned around in the swivel chair and pulled Jace to him.
“I’ve thought about you a lot. What we did was more than amazing. I’m extremely
attracted to you.”
“Me too,” he lied. Saying otherwise, that his thoughts had
really been on
would have ruined the moment entirely. Jace liked

“Good. That’s what I wanted to hear. Have I ever told you how
cute you are?”
“I think so,” Jace replied with a nod. “Once or twice.”
back until the back of his legs bumped the edge of the bed. He reached down and
cupped Jace’s ass with both hands. “Have you ever wondered what it would be
like to get fucked?”
“Yes.” Jace’s breath came hot and heavy as his cock strained for
freedom.
“I wanna fuck you, Jace. I wanna stick my cock in your ass and
feel you.”
Jace wasn’t sure if he was ready for that. That was one hell of
a step to take. Not to mention he figured it would hurt a lot. But the idea of
it intrigued him and turned him on even more. “I’ve never done that before.”
He’d played with his ass sometimes while he jerked off, but that was as far as
it ever went. It felt good, but a cock in there?
“It’ll be so hot. We’ll take it slow and if you want to stop at
any time, we will.”

bulge. And when he sat up, he reached for

“You do that so good. Man, that’s just out of this world,”

Jace gagged as he took

ass. He looked up and their eyes met. “You have condoms?”
“Yeah and lube.”
down and pulled a package of condoms and lube from underneath his bed. “I
figured at some point this would happen in my life. I’m prepared.”
“How should we do this?” Jace wasn’t sure what position was
best. He slid his jeans down over his hips and kicked them to the floor.
“On your knees with your ass in the air.”
Jace rolled onto his stomach and raised his ass. He still had
his briefs on and when
down over his butt, he shivered with anticipation and lusty excitement.
“

Jace groaned and pulled up his briefs. This was the second time
they’d been interrupted. His face was hot, in fact both sets of cheeks were. He

heard a male voice from downstairs talking. “That’s my dad.”
“I guessed. Should I go?”
“Can we go to your house?”
“My mom’s home. It wouldn’t work. It’s probably best that we
didn’t do it.”
A look of instant disappointment crossed
face. “I’d like to see you more often.”
“You see me at school all the time.” A hint of sarcasm tinged
Jace’s voice.
“That’s not what I meant. I could really like you.”
“Then we like each other.” He didn’t know what
“You don’t get it. It’s not just about the messing around.
That’s great, but I’d like to get to know you, as a person.”
“I’m not sure that would work. This town is a bit small for that
and people wouldn’t understand if they noticed anything.” Hiding was hard and
so was denying his true self. However, it was a necessity.
“I hate this place.”
“I think many of us feel the same way.” Jace thought about

“I guess. Anyway, I should go downstairs and greet the
parentals. I’ll text you later tonight.”

Downstairs, Jace spoke briefly with
parents and then he was out of there.
Outside, the early night air refreshed him as he walked. That
had been a close one. He didn’t want to begin to think what would have happened
if
That would have been a total nightmare.
Jace sped up his pace and tried to focus on the positive. One
thing was certain, lately his life has become a whole lot more interesting than
ever before.

“Jesus, that’s Jace,” said Mike, slamming on the van’s brakes.
“Man, way to get us killed,” he muttered, under his breath.
“Hey, where are you going?” called Mike. “Get in and I’ll give
you a lift.”
“I was heading home,” explained Jace as he got in the van.
“Where were you?” asked Mike.
“
the yearbook.”
“How’s that going?” Mike pulled back on the road.
“It isn’t. It sucks. We’re trying to make it stand it from years
before, but I don’t have any interest in it,” Jace explained. “No one has any
interest in them anymore. They’re a relic.”
“Guy’s a dweeb,” scoffed
“A first class a-hole.”
“You don’t even know him,” said Mike. “He seems okay.”
“He thinks he’s better than everyone else. Look at the way he
walks around the school. Fucking moron.”
and he didn’t want to get to know him, either. Just looking at the guy in
school pissed him off since he’d figured that Jace had something going on with
him. He was fucking jealous and he hated himself for it. It was stupid.
“Mike, let me out. I’d rather walk home.” Jace was already out
of his seat with one hand on the door. “Here’s good.”
Mike pulled the van over to the curb and shot

after Jace, but not before he told Mike to go on without him. “Go on. I’ll talk
to him.”
Mike shrugged and gave him a strange look as if he didn’t
understand what was going on. “Okay. See ya later.”

Jace kept walking even after he’d heard
speak or look at him. Who did this guy think he was? He wasn’t perfect by a
long shot and if pushed far enough he’d tell him that.
“Jace, would you at least give me a chance to say something,”
admit it. I’m a fucking asshole. There, I said it.”
Jace stopped in his tracks and turned slowly to face him.
