Cam nodded. “They met because of me. Zephryus plays for the Thunder, and I was working PT on him the day Colton was visiting. I guess Colton was more Zephryus’ type than me.”
“Well, he has poor taste then. And oops, now you’re taken!” I squeezed his hand.
“Well, I wasn’t at the time.”
“He must’ve sensed your heart was elsewhere.”
“I’m sure that was it. Or, he just likes them taller, leaner and with a Texas twang.”
“Thankfully!”
We headed to the kitchen. It was well past time for lunch. Cam grabbed a banana and some peanut butter and started eating.
“Hungry boy, but what do you want for lunch? I can make us something.”
“Sandwiches? We got meat and cheese?”
I opened the fridge to check. “Yup. I can do that.” I busied myself with making them, while I tried not to be distracted by Cam deep-throating his banana. I failed.
“Are you trying to eat that? Or suck out its jizz?”
He withdrew the banana from his mouth. “Mmm...banana-flavored jizz. I’d probably swallow more if it tasted like that.”
“I’ll see what I can do.”
Cam giggled at the idea. “Speaking of...sexy times. Was last night okay?”
I looked over to see he had stopped eating, waiting for my answer. He looked sort of vulnerable.
“Oh Cam, it was fantastic. It-”
“You’re not just saying that?”
“No, no, no. It was perfect. Exactly how I remembered it. Better even. I mean, having you cum inside of me, no condom. Fuck. I would happily do that every night for the rest of my life. I mean, not that I’m asking for that, that’s getting ahead of ourselves. Myself. Sorry.”
“I see now why people think I’m cute when I ramble. It looks good on you as well.” He paused. “So, were bananas involved in your sex tutorial with Tyler?”
“You’re not letting this go, are you?” I smiled and grabbed two plates from the cabinet. The sandwiches were ready.
“Nope.”
“Want to sit outside?”
“Sure.”
Between bites, I filled him in on the details of my lesson with Ty and we continued our conversation about sex. Cam was horny, but cautious. In his roundabout way, he was letting me know he was still nervous about sex, but trying not to overthink. I could tell he wanted to let go, but part of him was afraid of getting hurt again.
“I know my promise might hold little weight with you, but it’s just me this time. My parents are out of the picture. I want to live with you and your mom this summer. I want us to be boyfriends. I want to be with you. I would never ruin this. Ever. Again.”
Cam smiled. “I know all that, but a small part of me remembers the hurt from that night. I’m trying to shut it down, I really am.”
I knew there wasn’t anything else I could say. I’d have to prove it with actions.
And I would.
“So, your phone should be all set. I’ve checked my account info and your phone is there, the device and the number. That should be set.”
“Thank you.” I couldn’t be more grateful. Shane and Noah had popped by. Noah was checking in on Cam and his breathing, making sure he was following through on the doctor’s recommendations. Shane was updating me on my life as he knew it.
