That’s it! I’m making an appointment at a masseuse right this minute. And then I’m going to go home and jack until my dick goes numb. This ain’t right!
Seth runs his hand down my back before he stops. And I can’t turn around without getting caught so I try to adjust myself without him noticing, but he’s apparently got eyes of a fucking hawk because he whips his head around at lightning speed, eyes darting to my crotch and then back up to my face.
“Dude,” he whispers, coming closer, eyes huge. “Are you hard?”
“No! Fuck off!” I shove his shoulder but he’s fucking relentless. His eyes darting down again, a smile spreading over his face.
“You are! Holy shit! Was it because of me?”
“Seth! I’m not—” I sigh. “Whatever, it’s just a biological reaction. I haven’t gotten laid in forever and you basically breathed in my ear while pulling my hair. My dick got confused.”
He leans back on his heels, arms crossed. Looking smug as hell. “Not so straight, after all, huh?” He winks at me.
“Asshole!”
“Yeah,” he drawls, biting his bottom lip. “I always took you for an ass-man.” He shoots me a lopsided grin and then his eyes travel from my face, down my chest, crotch, legs, and back up again.
“Dude!” I chuckle. “Are you actually checking me out right now?”
He rolls his eyes, laughing. “Kaden, please. Babe. Not for the first time,” he says, turns around, striding off. “Not for the last time.”

Seth
“—andthenhegothard, Lou!” I shriek into the phone. “Kaden got hard while I gave him a back rub.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes! He told me!”
“He told you?”
“Well, no, but I saw it, and then I asked him and he said that it was a biological reaction or whatever. So, yeah, he admitted it. He got hard!”
“Seth,” Lou says, always the voice of reason that I usually don’t want to hear. And especially not now.
Damnit! Can’t I have this one fucking moment? Even if it was just a stupid biological reaction—we’ve all had those. Like when I popped a boner during an episode ofThe Great British Baking Showwhen someone was making a spotted dick—pretty weird name for a pudding, if you ask me—and all I heard was “dick, dick, dick”.
I was a gay teenager, of course I got a stiffy.
But Kaden’s straight. And I was touching him. Just let me have it, goddamnit!
“Seth,” Lou says again.
“I don’t wanna hear it. I’m saving that moment to my spank-bank and you’re not taking that from me.”
“Yeah, I’m a little concerned about the ethics in that.”
I sigh loudly. “Then forget I said it, and let me worry about the ethics, because I have none.”Apparently.
Lou chuckles. “Drama queen.”
“Takes one to know one.”
She just laughs that clucking laugh that makes her eyes crinkle and her nose scrunch. Some days I miss her so much, I don’t know what to do with myself.
I walk into my bathroom, removing the eye pads and putting the phone on speaker before I wash my face.
