Orsen sipped his soda and looked outside, seeing TJ mowing the lawn with no shirt on, and now he kind of understood why Cody liked him so much. “I didn’t know he was here.”
“And when you go, I’ll help wash his back.” Cody winked and Orsen spluttered, which made Cody laugh. “You’ll get to do that soon. It’s fun. Shower sex can be fun but slippery. We went tothe city for my twenty-first. I almost broke the handrail in the shower. TJ tried to tell me off, so I gave him a blow job and he forgot.”
“Do you always speak like this?” Orsen could never see himself speaking so openly the way Cody did.
“No, only with you, because I think you need it. I’m actually more reserved. I like to keep these things between me and TJ, but I think you need to hear them. You seem… not reserved, but innocent? Yeah, innocent when it comes to this. I think I’ve used that word for you.” Cody smiled. “And there is nothing wrong with being innocent in some areas of life like sex. Makes discovering all the things that make us moan more fun.” Cody wriggled his eyebrows.
“I know about straight sex.”
Cody reached over the table and squeezed his hand. “I know, but you can push that to one side. In gay sex, you have more flexibility. You can top Santino or he can top you. Find what works for you both. You find a routine and stick to it, or you may prefer to swap.”
“So I should try both and figure out what I like more?”
“Yeah. You might like to bottom or top, or you might like both? You only know once you try. I know Santino will let you try. He’s a good guy.”
Orsen shrugged, messing with his drink. “So I should try both?” Orsen licked his lips. “Cody? How does it work? I mean, I know, but I don’t want to come across…” Orsen shrugged again.
“You know about oral sex.” Orsen ignored his warm face and nodded. “My advice would be not to try to take all of it in your mouth the first time. Find what you can handle. Most people have a gag reflex. You go trying to deep throat him and you’ll gag. Practice makes perfect.” Cody winked. “As for actual sex? Make sure you’re clean, then it comes down to Santino preppingyou. One finger, two fingers, etc. until you’re relaxed enough that it won’t hurt that much.”
“Hurt?” Orsen squeaked.
“It can, and for most there is some pain, but that soon disappears. Saying that, if you’re with someone who takes plenty of time with you, there can be little to no pain.”
“Okay. I think.”
Cody squeezed his hand again. “Baby steps, Orsen. Santino is the first man you’ve been interested in, right?” Orsen nodded. “He’s older and more experienced. Let him guide you.”
“Hey, Orsen.” TJ came inside and grabbed a soda from the fridge. He had his T-shirt on now, but it stuck to his chest and back and Orsen noticed the look Cody gave TJ. Time for him to leave.
“Hi and bye.” Orsen stood. “I’m just about to go. I have a few things to do for Crompton.”
“How is living with him?” TJ asked. “He comes across as mean, but his bark is much worse than his bite.”
“He’s good with me. He’s showing me how to handle the horses and he makes me do my schoolwork.”
“You know, at some point, a visit to the school would help. It’s not about the work, it’s the social interaction. You need to be around people your own age.”
“I hate to agree, but TJ’s right. Doing things with kids your own age will help, and you’ll make friends.”
“They’ll put me in a class with kids younger than me. I’m behind,” Orsen whispered. The thought of being in a class with kids younger than him filled him with dread.
“I did speak to the principal, and he said you could attend classes in your year group, but they could put a specialized plan in place for you. They can work you in as well. A couple of days a week at first, then build from there. Think about it. Talk to Crompton and Santino as well.”
Orsen stared at the table, bit his bottom lip. “Okay.”
“Thank you.” TJ finished his soda, then stretched. “I’m getting a shower, Cody. I’ll speak to you later, Orsen.”
TJ left and Orsen watched Cody watch TJ. “I’ll go so you can get in on the shower action.”
“And I knew there was a reason why I loved you.” Cody grinned and wriggled his eyebrows, making Orsen laugh. “I’ll see you out.”
“I can do that. Go upstairs. I can see you want to.”
Cody waved and ran upstairs, leaving Orsen at the back door. As he opened it, he heard a soft moan drift down from upstairs and quickly shut it behind him, his face heating up. Cody hadn’t been lying when he said he would be in the shower with TJ.
Walking back toward town, Orsen answered his phone when it rang. “Santino.”
“Are you free tonight?”
