The smile fell from Tobias’ face.
Talk to Chase about his feelings. Possibly come out of the closet by dating Chase openly. Both of these tasks were terrifying, and he wasn’t sure he was capable.
“What if I go public with him and the media goes feral and it affects Madison?” Tobias blurted. Thank goodness he could hide his thoughts. He had no chill on the inside, but others rarely witnessed it.
“Are you for real?” Shane said, exasperation in his voice. “Cooper Farnsworth is currently playing and is one of the league leaders in goal scoring, and the media barely acknowledges him in public. He really only gets recognized when he’s in hockey-related places. We don’t play for a major hockey city. Philly loves us, sure, but they’re more worried about football and baseball around here. Most likely thing is you get a little bit of attention for a couple weeks, and once people remember how boring you are, they’ll go back to leaving you alone.”
Tobias huffed a breath of laughter and shoved Shane playfully.
He knew Shane was right. Tobias felt like he was grasping at straws for reasons not to come out.
Maybe he wasn’t as ready as he thought. Maybe if he waited until after the alumni game, when people were paying no attention to him again, it would be safe to be open with Chase.
But there was one thing he definitely had to do. He had to talk to Chase.
No big deal whatsoever.
He wasn’t panicking one bit.
Bullshit.
————————
Instead of going home, Tobias headed over to Chase’s apartment. They rarely hung out there, since Tobias usually had to be home with Madison. He should have called first, but part of him wanted to catch Chase off guard.
It only took a minute for Chase to answer after Tobias knocked. Tobias was so glad he came over instead of calling. He nearly swallowed his tongue when Chase opened the door. Chase wore nothing but compression shorts, his upper body shiny with sweat. He didn’t know he could get a hard-on so quickly.
“Ahem,” Chase said, clearing his throat loudly, and Tobias’ gaze flew up from where he stared everywherebut in Chase’s eyes. He wanted nothing but to drop to his knees right then and there to show Chase how much he cared for him.
‘What’s stopping you?’
Oh, shit, you’re totally right.
Tobias stepped forward, forcing Chase to step back into his apartment, and closed the door behind them. He pushed Chase up against the wall by his front door and dropped to his knees, pulling Chase’s tight shorts with him.
“Unnngh,” Tobias groaned as he came face to face with Chase’s hard cock. The guy wasn’t wearing underwear, and for a moment he thought about asking Chase to continue his yoga session so he could watch. But Tobias had no intention of waiting to get the glorious sight in front of him in his mouth.
Leaning forward, he licked the head, causing Chase to fall back against the wall, his moan echoing in his apartment. In the next breath, Tobias swallowed Chase whole, his moans turning into shouts as Tobias wasted no time in getting his lover to the edge.
Tobias hadn’t even taken off his coat, but he managed to get a hand in his own pants to pull out his dick, stroking in time with the bobbing of his head. With his free hand, he reached around to Chase’s tight ass, gripping it tight and easing him in and out.
“You want me to fuck your throat?” Chase croakedbetween gasps.
All Tobias could do was give his ass another squeeze and moan. Chase shoved his fingers through Tobias’ hair and started to guide his cock in and out of Tobias’ mouth. Watching Chase from his knees was like looking up at an angel, an incredibly horny angel.
“That’s right, baby, take it,” Chase said, moaning. “You feel so fucking good.”
Tobias may not have been whatever the gay version of a ladies’ man was, but he could suck cock like his job depended on it. Thankfully, deep throating was like riding a bike, the skill returning to him the same way muscle memory clicked for his hockey skills.
Chase continued his thrusts, picking up the pace as he groaned.
“I’m so close, so close,” he shouted.
Tobias took one of his fingers and gathered some of the saliva slipping out of his mouth, and reached for Chase’s balls, giving them a soft pull before dragging the wet finger along Chase’s taint and settling it over the puckered skin of his hole. He didn’t enter, but he tapped it and pushed against the rim, and Chase shouted through his release.
Tobias increased the pace of his strokes and finished a few seconds later, while Chase rode out his own high.
Chase only pushed him away when he got too sensitive, and he slid down the wall and sat on the ground,serene bliss on his face.
