He looked like he wanted to eat me alive.

"How do you know how to do all this?" I asked, my voice rough.

He arched an eyebrow. "I've been practicing."

I could see it—Nathan alone in his bedroom at home in Valdosta, watching some grainy videotape or flipping through a secret stash of magazines, stretching himself open with his fingers, or… something else.

Preparing for this. For me.

"Fuck." I went deeper, and he moaned.

"What did you use to…”

"Whatever I could find."

I looked down to watch myself disappearing into him. This was it. Actually being inside him. This was what everyone was writing songs about.

The other guys I’d fooled around with… We’d jerked each other, maybe did a little bit of oral, but it was always just getting off together. Mechanical. A little underwhelming.

This was everything.

And of course it would be with Nathan.

Now that it was happening, I understood why I'd always held back. Why I'd never let myself go this far with anyone else.

I'd been waiting for this. For him.

Fuck.

Oh, fuck⁠—

"I think I'm gonna come.”

He immediately reached between us and started jacking himself. “Do it,” he said, his voice strained. “I’m close.”

His thighs tightened around my waist, his heels digging into my ass.

He tensed, his whole body going stiff, and then his ass clamped down around me.

And that was it.

I came so hard I saw bright spots in the dark, buried deep inside him, my mouth open against his neck, tasting salt on his skin.

When I could breathe again, I smelled his cum. It was splattered through his chest hair, blasted up against the underside of his chin and across his collarbone.

We were both panting. I blinked, trying to clear my vision. He let out a long sigh.

Damn.

I started to pull out, but his legs locked around me. "Not yet."

So I stayed as long as I could.

I could feel his heartbeat—in his chest against mine, in the clench of him around my softening cock.

After a while, I did slip out. We made identical sounds of disappointment. I held the condom at the base as I pulled free and dropped it in the small trash can beside the bed.

I collapsed onto my side and Nathan rolled to face me, throwing his heavy thigh over my hip. We were curled toward each other on the same pillow, our legs still loosely tangled.
