  And it was wonderful.

  Without Danny even thinking about it, his arms came up to return Luke’s embrace. The feel of Luke’s naked back beneath his hands was so astonishingly electric, Danny had to close his eyes for a minute and just think about how it felt. The heat of Luke’s bare torso seeping through Danny’s shirt, warming Danny’s chest. The flow and ebb of muscles underneath Luke’s satin skin.

  Luke seemed to happily accept Danny’s hug. He seemed to enjoy the feel of Danny’s arms around him. Edging just a little closer, and being almost a head shorter than Danny, Luke rested his head on Danny’s chest. The top couple of buttons on the dress shirt Danny had thrown on were unbuttoned, and Luke burrowed his face into the opening to press his cheek to Danny’s bare skin.

  Danny pressed his face to Luke’s hair and inhaled the clean scent of it. He could feel Luke’s pale eyelashes sweeping across the hollow in his throat. Could feel the gentle scrape of Luke’s young stubble on his skin. Luke must not have shaved for a couple of days. It felt wonderful.

  Danny’s arms tightened around him, holding him close.

  Luke’s words were muffled because his mouth was against Danny’s chest now. Danny could feel Luke’s lips move on his skin when he spoke. It was the most erotic thing Danny had ever felt in his life. His dick began to move. Danny couldn’t have stopped it if he wanted to.

  But it was Luke’s words that filled Danny’s mind at that moment, not the fear of his lengthening dick being discovered. Not yet.

  “Danny. I had a hard time coming out, too. My dad’s not the only one in my family who’s gay. I guess you know that already. I’m gay too. I haven’t had much experience, you know, sexually, but I do know I’m gay. I think you are, too. And I think you’re a virgin. And I think maybe you don’t want to be a virgin anymore.” Then he chuckled. “God knows I don’t want you to be a virgin any more either.”

  Danny laughed. “Really?”

  “Shit, yeah.”

  And ever so gently, Luke tilted his head back and touched his lips to Danny’s. Mouths closed, barely making contact, the kiss was pristine. Pure and sinless. It was the kiss of two children. Two innocents. But still, it made Danny’s heart start hammering again.

  Luke lifted his lips from Danny’s and looked him in the eye. “Let me stay with you tonight, Danny. Let me sleep in the same bed with you. Please. We won’t do anything you aren’t ready to do. In fact we don’t have to do anything at all, if you don’t want. I just want to be next to you. Can we do that?”

  Danny couldn’t speak. The circuitry that led from his mouth to his brain seemed to be malfunctioning, and he didn’t know the number for tech support. So he simply nodded.

  Hand in hand, they climbed the stairs together. Luke’s footsteps were silent on the carpeted steps. Danny’s weren’t. In fact, all Danny could hear was the pounding of his own heart and the clomping of his plaster cast on the risers.

  There was a smile blossoming on Danny’s face. He could feel it there, stretching his cheeks apart.

  Casting a shy look at Luke, Danny saw another smile blossoming to life. This one was on Luke’s face.

  When their eyes met, Luke lifted Danny’s hand and pressed it to his lips.

  Because he couldn’t seem to stop himself, Danny leaned in and brushed his lips against Luke’s ear as they continued to climb the stairs. To his own amazement, he felt his shyness simply deconstruct. Poof! It evaporated from his mind like morning mist hit by a red-hot rising sun. Of course, as soon as his shyness went away his hard-on came back. And it came back with a vengeance. In three seconds flat, Danny’s cock was so hard inside his shorts, he had to fight the urge to touch it. Then he began to tremble.

  “I want you so much,” Danny breathed, and Luke pulled him through the bedroom door, smiling.

  “Then let’s do something about it,” Luke said. “Let’s do something now.”

  TO DANNY, it seemed he and Luke were not simply the only ones in the house, they were the only ones in the world. Nothing existed anywhere in the whole frigging universe except the two of them. At least it felt that way inside his head. Consequently, Danny was a little surprised when Luke quickly marched from one bedroom window to the next, closing all the drapes. In just a few seconds, Luke managed to shut out the neighbors and the night and the streetlights and the stars, and seal the two of them into a heavenly cocoon of comforting, blissful shadow. The only light spilling into the room came through the doorway leading out to the stairs. When Luke closed that door, the room was pitch-black. It was so dark and silent, Danny could hear their breathing.

  Then Luke stripped away the darkness by switching on the lights. All of them. The ceiling light, the desk lamp in the corner, the stupid little lava lamp on the bookcase, and lastly, the bathroom light, which cast a long golden beam of light across Danny’s bedroom floor like a river of magma pouring out of the john. By the time Luke was finished, the comforting shadows were chased away for good, and Danny’s bedroom looked like a Broadway stage with every spotlight burning and every footlight glowing.

  When he was satisfied that he had flicked on every light there was, Luke smiled at Danny across the room. “I don’t want to miss anything.”

  “I guess you don’t.” Danny grinned. While he was proud of himself for being nonchalant enough to offer Luke that grin, Danny still had to admit it probably wasn’t the most easygoing grin he had ever come up with. He was a little nervous. Well, no. He was pretty much scared to death. And just when he thought his shyness had taken a hike, too.

  Luke gazed at him with his head tilted to the side. Luke was still wearing nothing but gym shorts, and as Danny stared at him across the room, he felt himself grow breathless with need. He took one step forward, then stopped. Unsure of what to do. Uncertain how to proceed.

  Luke saw Danny’s hesitation and quickly closed the distance between them.

  “Relax.” Luke smiled. “This won’t hurt at all.”

  Danny started to laugh, but the laughter died in his throat when Luke reached up and began slowly unbuttoning Danny’s shirt. While he worked at the buttons, Luke’s eyes never left Danny’s face. Not until he reached the bottom button. Then, looking down, Luke’s eyes opened wide as he spread Danny’s shirt apart and pushed it back off his shoulders. The shirt slid to the floor at Danny’s heels in a crumpled mess.

  Danny felt a tremor go through his body when Luke laid his hands atop Danny’s smooth chest. Luke slid his warm palms across Danny’s skin, brushing his nipples, then running his fingertips along Danny’s collarbone. From there he stroked Danny’s arms from his shoulders to his hands, then slid his fingertips upward again, grazing the hair on Danny’s arms until finally bringing his hands to rest at either side of Danny’s neck.

  When Luke leaned in to brush his lips over Danny’s gaping mouth, he dropped his hands to clutch Danny’s sides, just above the waistband of his shorts.

  Luke swept his fingers inward over Danny’s stomach, and as he did, Luke pulled his lips from Danny’s and lowered himself to his knees.

  Danny tried not to gasp when he felt Luke’s breath against his stomach. Then he tried not to gasp again when he felt Luke’s lips brush across his belly button. Luke’s tongue probed his navel, and Danny’s knees began to shake. Luke reached down to feel them. Bending lower he pressed his lips first to one hairy thigh, and then to the other. As he did, his fingertips slid beneath the leg holes of Danny’s shorts. They played across the skin of his legs, never quite reaching high enough to touch Danny’s balls. But they were close. Very close.

  Luke pressed his mouth to the front of Danny’s shorts, pushing against the firmness he found there: the firmness of Danny’s rock hard cock, begging to be released. Luke moved his hands to Danny’s waist to brace himself. With his teeth, he nipped at the tab on Danny’s zipper and oh, so slowly tugged it downward. If it was release Danny wanted, then Luke was more than happy to give it to him.

  Danny’s legs were shaking so badly he was afraid he w
as going to fall on his face, so he placed his hands on either side of Luke’s face and felt the warmth of Luke’s skin against his palms.

  As Luke pulled at Danny’s zipper with his teeth, Danny closed his eyes and cupped the back of Luke’s head with one hand, caressing his red hair, pulling him closer. With the other hand he stroked Luke’s cheek. His hips pushed forward of their own accord, and Danny felt himself smashing his crotch against Luke’s face. He wasn’t sure, but he thought he felt Luke smile when he did it.

  When the zipper tab was as far down as it would go, Luke slid his hands across Danny’s stomach and converged on the button of his shorts. With a simple flick of finger and thumb, Luke popped it open, and Danny’s shorts slipped off his hips and hit the floor.

  Danny’s breath was ragged, and he looked down the length of his naked body to see Luke looking up. Danny’s stone cock was standing rigid against Luke’s cheek. He could see moisture glistening at its tip, and as he watched, Luke turned his face toward it and licked the moisture away.

  Danny gasped. And even as he gasped, he directed the head of his cock to Luke’s smiling lips, begging to be taken in.

  With his eyes centered on Danny’s face hovering above him, Luke pressed a kiss to the tender skin beneath Danny’s glans. Then he slid his lips all the way down the underside of Danny’s long shaft until his mouth and nose were buried in Danny’s balls.

  “God—” Danny breathed.

  Luke took that as a sign Danny wasn’t exactly complaining or anything, so he cupped Danny’s fat, heavy balls in his fingertips and slid his lips back up the shaft of Danny’s cock. Once again, he licked the moisture away at the tip, probing the tiny slit with his tongue when he did, but he stopped short of taking Danny into his mouth.

  Danny grabbed Luke’s arms and pulled him to his feet. Pressing his lips to Luke’s mouth and tasting his own precome in the kiss, Danny breathed, “My turn.” And still shaking all over, he dropped to his knees at Luke’s feet. Clutching Luke’s hips with his strong hands, he pulled Luke close against him.

  While Luke played his fingers through Danny’s long hair, Danny let his hands roam over the body standing before him. From Luke’s ankles, along the hairy calves and thighs of Luke’s gorgeous, strong legs, Danny pushed his trembling hands upward until they crossed Luke’s flat stomach to the sprinkling of hair across his chest.

  While he explored with his hands, Danny pressed his lips to Luke’s belly button. He wanted to watch everything he did, but the soft heat of Luke’s stomach against his mouth was such a beautiful sensation, he had to close his eyes to experience it.

  He only opened them again when he felt his fingertips, as though acting with a mind of their own, dig beneath the waistband of Luke’s running shorts and tug them downward off his hips. As they slid away, Luke’s cock sprang up and pressed itself to Danny’s face.

  Danny couldn’t believe the heat of it. Or the hardness. He had felt his own cock a million times, but this was different. This was—amazing.

  He rocked back on his heels to see Luke’s cock better. He cradled it in his hand, and Luke’s hips surged forward, begging for Danny to stroke it. So Danny did. Slowly. Gently.

  Luke’s cock was pink and perfectly shaped. It was almost as big as Danny’s, and just as with Danny’s earlier, there was a crystal drop of precome trembling at the tip, ready to fall.

  Hesitantly, but not so hesitantly, either, Danny reached out with his tongue and licked the glistening drop away. The precome was sweet in his mouth. He closed his eyes to relish the flavor of it. And with one hand pressed flat to Luke’s stomach, Danny used his other hand to gently stroke Luke’s cock until another glistening drop formed.

  This drop he kissed away with both lips. And just as Luke’s hands came down to caress the sides of Danny’s face, Danny let all hesitation fall away. He knew beyond any doubt whatsoever that what he was doing, right now, at this very moment, was what he had been born to do.

  This was absolutely who he was.

  So parting his lips, he smoothly and eagerly encompassed Luke’s cock, drawing it in. Danny closed his eyes at the sensation of that hard, hot cock sliding into his mouth. God, he had wanted this for so long. And to make it even better, it was happening with Luke. Although he had never sucked a cock before, it took Danny exactly one and a half seconds to figure out exactly what to do.

  And when he did, it was Luke’s turn to gasp. It was Luke’s turn to feel his own knees shake.

  Danny’s mouth around his dick felt wonderful. Too wonderful. Luke was going to come in about three heartbeats if Danny didn’t stop right now.

  He pushed Danny away and wrestled him to his feet. Taking his hand, Luke dragged Danny toward the bed. Once there, they endured a moment of giggling confusion while Danny hurriedly cleared the bed of a shitload of rumpled clothes and books and other crap to make enough room for them to lie down. But once the bed was cleared, they wasted no time falling into it, arms and legs entwined, lips pressed together, heartbeats pounding a mile a minute. The feel of their young, hard cocks grinding together caused both of them to moan.

  Twisting around to face in opposite directions, they settled into a sixty-nine position, and without one moment of hesitation, each took the other’s cock into his mouth as if he had been waiting for this moment forever.

  It wasn’t as if the two of them had just met. It was as if they had known and wanted each other for years.

  And the want had consumed them.

  When Danny came, seconds later, it was the first time the lips of another had brought him to orgasm. And it was the most fabulous experience of his young life.

  As Danny cried out, shooting load after load of spurting come into Luke’s eager, hungry mouth, Luke suddenly cried out himself.

  And with his eyes wide open and the sound of his own orgasmic heartbeat thundering in his ears, Danny felt Luke’s hips push upward as his sperm came skyrocketing out of that beautiful, beautiful cock. It poured over Danny’s face, splashed across his lips, shot up into his hairline.

  Danny groped at Luke’s ass and pulled Luke’s dick as deep into his mouth as he could get it. With Luke’s balls pressed against his nose, Danny inhaled their heavenly scent as he sucked the last drops of come from Luke’s cock. When the spurting finally stopped, Danny still did not release him. Nor did Luke release Danny.

  As they sucked away each final drop of the other’s come, their cocks slowly softened inside the other’s hungry mouth. And as they were gently drained, the two men, who were really little more than boys, pulled each other close and savored every sensation. With naked bodies pressed tight, and the smell of their hot come still permeating their senses and making them smile, they luxuriated in the feel of each other’s skin. They listened to each other’s heartbeats pounding down to a calmer cadence as they melted into each other’s cradling arms, angelic smiles twisting their lips, both of them as contented as they had ever been in their lives.

  It was the taste of come that Danny remembered last, just before sleep overtook him.

  God, it was wonderful. Luke was wonderful.

  Burrowing his face into Luke’s velvet stomach, even as Luke did the same to him, the two young men closed their eyes and dreamed of only one thing, although they would not remember in the morning what their dreams had been about.

  They would dream of each other, and they would be smiling as they dreamed.

  And when they awoke in the middle of the night, they would once again be consumed with hunger. They would reach out for each other before their eyes were fully open.

  Chapter 6

  TRYING not to move, Danny took a peek at the clock on his desk. It was a little after four in the morning. The lights were still on, just the way they’d left them. His cheek was pressed to Luke’s thigh, and they were still lying side by side in opposite directions on the bed. Just like they were when they nodded off.

  Carefully, Danny raised himself up onto his elbow to better study the man lying next to him. God,
Luke was beautiful.

  Ever so gently, Danny brushed his palms along the blond hair on Luke’s strong legs. He pressed his lips to Luke’s thigh to feel the heat of his skin. Luke’s cock was sleeping, resting snugly atop his plump balls, which were only inches from Danny’s face. Unlike the hair on Luke’s legs, and the spattering of hair across his chest, which was all blond, Luke’s pubic hair was ginger. Almost red, but not quite. Moving as gently as he could so as not to waken Luke, Danny pressed his lips to those ginger covered balls and inhaled Luke’s scent. His own cock immediately stirred.

  Then so did Luke’s. Danny watched as it languidly yawned itself awake, lengthening and thickening until it slid sideways and stretched itself out in all its glory to lie hard against Luke’s stomach. Suddenly, there was nothing languid about it at all. Danny watched, enthralled, as that stiffening cock gave a tiny jerk with every beat of Luke’s heart.

  Luke’s eyes were still closed. Ever so carefully, Danny took Luke’s cock between his fingertips and stood it upright. He admired the perfect shape of it; the plump glans, beautifully formed; the firm ridge of the corona encircling the glans; the bulging veins climbing along the shaft, pumping in the blood even as Danny watched. Slowly, Danny traversed the corona with his tongue, savoring the salty taste of sweat and spent come that still lingered there. Then he slipped his lips around the entire head of it, and when he had taken it completely into his mouth, Luke’s hand came down and stroked his cheek.

  “That feels good,” Luke whispered, eyes still closed.

  Danny slid his lips away and pressed them into Luke’s balls, once again inhaling Luke’s scent. He was smiling. He couldn’t seem to stop smiling.
