He swallows hard, and then his eyes meet mine. “Whatever’s going on needs to stop.” Then he turns and rushes down the stairs. “Hey, Dad. Good to see you.”

As their voices fade, I slump against the doorframe, my heart still pounding. My body is shaking. The adrenaline rushing through me has nowhere to go.

I enter my room in a daze, leaving the lights off as I lock the door. Throwing myself on the bed, I stare at the ceiling and try to ignore the pounding of my heart and the insistent throbbing of my cock.

This reaction isn’t because of Jonah. It can’t be. I hate him. But it’s understandable that my body forgets that. Jonah has so many muscles. And sure, he’s attractive if you’re into boy-next-door-who-turns-into-a-beast-when-challenged.

San Diego Pridefest is my chance to show everyone what I can do. A way to live my life on my terms.

I just have to get there. No matter the cost.
