"I like how you just took charge." With as hard as he was, the boy'd liked it just fine. "I had guys who played that game before. But none of them really, you know, lived it."

Hard Fall
by James Buchanan
"Lived it?" I had no idea what he was on about. "I don't get what you mean there."
"You know, the Dom thing."
Smacking his ass, not too hard, but enough it stung, I chided him, "Your hat's on too tight. I'm just me."
"That's what I mean." If Kabe kept moving like he was, we'd end up without our clothes pretty quick. Not that it was a bad idea. "It's not 'let's dress up in leather and play around.' Although you'd, wow, you'd be hot in it. But you take control and make me feel things. I could get off on that. A lot.
You're doing it 'cause you want to enjoy it and you want me to enjoy it, not because you wanna push me around."
"I never wanted to push you around." Although I did push him 'round right then; pushed his butt down so our hips ground together again. "Slap you upside the head maybe..." I licked my lips. I need more of that taste. "Now you done talked us blue. Why don't you put your mouth where your attitude is and bring it on here."
Kabe laughed, kissed me like I'd asked. There was a powerful need behind that kiss. Both his and mine. It worked up and overwhelmed me each time I touched him.
And I knew right then, knew the moment his lips touch mine, that this screamer I'd been on, down into a bottomless abyss, well, I'd be okay. My rope was playing out at fifty miles a minute, but there was this hard slip of nothing boy anchored solid to the face and he had me on belay. So I figured it was about time to let myself fall, fall real hard, so long as I landed in his arms.

gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community and those questioning their sexual orientation and gender identity. It is an outgrowth of the Gay & Lesbian National Hotline, which began in 1996 and now is a primary program of The glbt National Help Center. It offers several different programs including two national hotlines that help members of the glbt community talk about the important issues that they are facing in their lives. It helps end the isolation that many people feel, by providing a safe environment on the phone or via the internet to discuss issues that people can't talk about anywhere else. The glbt National Help Center also helps other organizations build the infrastructure they need to provide strong support to our community at the local level.
