“No, I’ll call an Uber.” He smirked. “I took one here. I have an adult job now.” He downed his beer. “It sure was nice seeing you both tonight.” He stepped toward me and planted a hand on my shoulder. “And Eli? You fully redeemed yourself.”
“Thank you.” God, it felt good. I still could hardly believe ithad happened. Slipping my arm over Wren’s shoulders, I kissed his cheek. “This is a fun place.”
With a chuckle, Ethan said, “Yeah, Wren hooked up with a guy here?—”
“Shush.” Wren held his fingers over Ethan’s mouth. “I thought I’d get through this night without you mentioning that, but no.” He shook his head.
“Yeah, I probably don’t want to know.” Choking on a laugh, I hugged Wren into my side and in his ear, whispered, “But whatever happened, you’re all mine now.” I nipped his earlobe.
He squirmed with his breath catching. “That’s it. We’re going home.”
After sayingour goodbyes to Ethan and promising to hang out another night, I drove us to Wren’s home, a newer beige bungalow with a wrap-around porch about five miles from my family home. As I pulled into the drive, my heart fluttered with emotion. “You told me you loved me tonight.” I couldn’t help bringing it up. I shut the truck’s engine off.
He leaned across the center console. “You said you loved me tonight too.” He wagged his brows. “Let’s go to my room and consummate our new commitment to each other.”
“Hell yes.” I jumped out of the truck and met Wren at the bottom of the porch steps. As he strolled to me, I grabbed him up in a bear hug, lifting him off the pathway, and twirled around, nuzzling the side of his head. “God, damn, I love you. Do you know that?”
With a giggle, he said, “Yes, I know that. Now put me down before you wake my mom.”
I set him down and snatched his hand. It had been such a magical night. I had a story to tell the center too when school started again.
Slipping his keys from his jean’s pocket, Wren slowly openedthe door and peeked inside. “She’s in bed. If she were up, she’d be sitting on the couch watching television.” He crept through the doorway.
Why did it feel like he really was sneaking me in? I whispered, “Wren, is this really all right?” I stepped in behind him.
“Shhh…” He stopped and appeared to listen. “Yes, it’s fine.” Grabbing my hand, he tiptoed into the hallway to his bedroom, and I followed him inside.
After illuminating the nightstand lamp from a switch on the wall, he locked the door. “We’re good.”
I’d been in his bedroom a million times in high school. Being here again with him was surreal. I strolled through the room, picking up his high school graduation photo from the dark wooden dresser and then perusing the same blue bedspread and gray sheets he’d had back then. “This room hasn’t changed.”
He shrugged his jacket off and hung it over a wicker chair in the corner. “I lived at home during my first two years of college and only moved out when I left for ASU.” He offered a fast smile. “Mom let me buy some new stuff when I got there. She gave me a budget, and I shopped on Facebook Marketplace for used furniture.”
Nodding, I ambled toward him, my cock stirring. We’d have sex in the same bed as in high school. “That’s nice, but I think we have better things to talk about.” Hooking my arm around his nape, I leaned down and unfastened his jeans, pressing my mouth to his in a passionate kiss.
With a deep moan, he flicked his tongue against mine, his body yielding to me.
Slipping my hand inside his briefs, I stroked his swelling cock. In a rasp, I said, “Tell me you love me again.” Even if I heard it a million times, it wouldn’t be enough. I nibbled down his neck.
“I love you, Eli. Wholly and completely.” Tipping his head back, he groaned and rocked his hips, fucking my palm. “Witnessing the situation with Kit broke through any walls I stillhad.” He shivered. “You stood up for me, babe. In that moment, I finally knew I could trust you.”
I lifted my head, my gaze locking on his as I cupped his cheek with one hand and continued the lazy strokes on his solid dick. “In every situation, I’ll choose you, Wren. You need to know that.” There was no way in hell I’d ever let him go now. We’d make this work, no matter what team I played for next year.
“I believe you, Eli.” His eyelids fluttered shut, and a whimper escaped his lips. “Now, remove your clothes and let’s explore each other in my old bed.”
“Hell yes.” As my stiff cock ached inside my briefs, I undressed and tossed my clothing in the corner while he did the same. Tonight we wouldn’t rush. I wanted to take my time and savor him.
He threw the covers down, his tight ass flexing in the low light, and slipped between the sheets. As he lay on his back, his mouth-watering cock stretched toward his navel. “Come here, my love.” He freed a soft giggle into the back of his hand.
Okay, now he was fucking with me. “Wren…” With a tut, I climbed in beside him.
“Too much?” He rolled on top of me, pressing his hot dick against mine and rolling his hips, our shafts rubbing together. “Fuck, you feel good tonight. I mean, every time we’re together, you feel good. But tonight?” He cradled my head in his forearms, propped on his elbows.
“Yeah, I know what you mean.” Soft sparks lit across my skin, everywhere I touched him. It was like nothing else, as if our bodies connected in a new way. But then, our hearts definitely had.
As tension swirled like a building storm, I grabbed the back of his head and pulled him down, my mouth claiming his, our tongues tangling in a carnal dance. As we writhed against each other, a wave of sensation rushed over me, and my cock pulsed against his, dribbling precum and slicking our movements.
He broke the kisses. “We, uh, need lube.” Reaching sideways, he opened the nightstand drawer and pulled it out. “Yes, brought it from home and stashed it there when I unpacked.” With a chuckle, he rolled off me and sat up, squirting lube on my cock and then his. “This’ll be like a slip and slide.” He freed a quick snicker as he set the lube on the nightstand.
