“The twins can beoverzealous, but they don’t mean any harm,” Garrett murmured as he dampened a white hand towel beneath the faucet, wrung it out, and gave it to Katt. “They love everyone.” He smiled. “Maybe a little too much, at times.”
Katt remained silent and washed his chest and stomach.
Leaning against the small counter next to the sink, Garrett gazed at Katt. “Can I ask you something?”
Tensing somewhat, Katt nodded as he continued to wipe the cum from his skin.
“Why did you sign up for this segment?”
Katt looked up. “What?”
“You don’t seem all that curious,” Garrett said. “Everything you’ve done so far kind of feels like you’re doing it against your will, even though we told you that you don’t have to.”
Lowering his eyes, Katt rinsed out the towel, then wiped some cum residue from his jacket. “I’m not doing it against my will,” he mumbled.
“The first two curious boys—Sean and Dylan—they each had some reservations, but there was no mistaking their genuine curiosity.” He tilted his head, eyeing Katt. “I don’t get that from you.”
Katt cleared his throat, but didn’t meet Garrett’s eyes. “Why would I sign up for this if I wasn’t curious?”
“I don’t know.” Garrett shifted, loosely folding his arms over his chest. “You tell me.”
Katt shrugged. “Nothing to tell.”
“Hm.” Garrett rubbed his mouth. “I admit, you seemed to be enjoying yourself with Samson… and Marcus. A totally straight guy wouldn’t have gotten swept up like that, I don’t think. I’ve met a lot of straight men, even tested a few, and they have zero interest incock.”He squinted. “And at first, that’s how you seemed.Stillkind of seems that way, despite…” He gestured absently. “Doyou think you might be gay?”
Katt flinched at the question. “I’m sure everyone thinks so after what just happened.”
“Sometimes, things happen. Very little in this life is black and white. Only you can decide who you are.”
I thought I knew,Katt thought, his anxiety mounting. But even now, after the fact, a tingle of excitement lingered in his loins. And somewhere in the back of his mind was a truth he didn’t want to acknowledge; he had wanted Marcus to strip away his underwear and suck him, flesh on flesh.
“You don’t have to do anything more if you don’t want to,” Garrett said. “You can stop.”
Katt almost took him up on it. He was afraid to go back to the rec room, afraid of what he would do—afraid ofenjoyingit. Garrett said he could stop… but he couldn’t. He had to goall the way. Katt thought about calling Todd again, but there was no point; Todd couldn’t let him off the hook.
Still, the thought of going back out there started to ignite quiet panic in him.
“I’m okay,” he whispered, a full-blown lie. “I just… wasn’t expecting things to get so… intense… so fast.” He sniffed, then finally looked Garrett in the face. “Do you think I could have a moment…?”
Garrett didn’t seem to believe that he was okay, but if not, he kept it to himself and nodded. “Yeah, sure.” Garrett left the bathroom.
As soon as he was gone, the shakes hit Katt. His hand trembled badly as he took out his phone.
“Are you concerned?”
Gideon stared at the monitor with a measure of tension. “That was an intense session. He looked rather shaken when he left the room.”
“Do you think he’ll continue?” Daniel asked.
Still a bit flustered from his and Daniel’ssession,Gideon dragged a palm over his flushed face. “Hard to say. As I mentioned before, there’s somethingoffabout Katt. I still feel that he wasn’t entirely honest in the intro.”
“What would he be hiding?” Daniel raised an eyebrow. “If he wasn’t trulycurious,why would he sign up for the segment?”
Gideon sighed. “I don’t know,” he murmured. “I guess all we can do is wait and see how it develops.”
“Franco?” Katt squeezed the phone so hard his hand began to ache.
“Katt? Hey, what’s up?”
