“In case you can’t tell,” Cooper says, pulling away. “I like you. I mean, like, as more than friends.”
I chuckle and feel my cheeks heating. “Yeah, I got that,” I say. “I like you, too.” I brush his nose with mine, smiling like an idiot. Cooper beams and kisses me again, and this time it’s even better. It’s a bit more intense, and his fingers run through my hair. God, I could get used to this.
We kiss for a moment longer, before he pulls me down with him so that we’re resting on our backs once more. Except this time, I’m in his arms as we look back up at the stars, and it’s perfect.
“You really want to be up there, don’t you?” I say.
“Yeah,” he says. “I really do.”
And even though it scares the ever-loving shit out of me I say, “Then how do we make it happen?” Cooper turns to look at me.
“We?” he asks.
“Sure,” I say, looking into his deep brown eyes. “It’s your dream. I want to help you reach it in whatever way I can.”
Cooper’s smile lights up his entire face. “I knew I picked the right boyfriend,” he says, hugging me close to him.
I blush. “Is that what we are?”
“I’d like us to be,” he says. “We’ve been doing this best friends thing long enough, don’t you think? And I really like kissing you.” He grins.
I laugh and smack him. But then I press a kiss to his lips, and he hums happily, stroking my cheek. “I like kissing you,too.” I’m smiling so wide my cheeks hurt, but I don’t want to stop.
Cooper kisses me again and gets mostly teeth because I really can’t stop smiling, but that just makes him smile more, and laugh. I nuzzle his neck as we hold each other and laugh together, both so deliriously happy.
“So, really, how does this work? The whole flying thing?” I ask, once the laughter has died down. He presses a kiss to my head, and the sound of him drinking in the scent of my shampoo has me smiling again.
“Well, I can get my private license when I’m seventeen. I’d like to do that. It’ll mean training, classes, test flights, and certification, and getting a job to pay for everything which will mean being pretty busy for a while, but I’m okay with that. Then I can get my commercial license when I’m eighteen. But most airlines won’t hire you until you are twenty-one, so not a huge rush on that. Even then a lot of airlines prefer that you have a college degree in something related to aeronautics. It’s not a requirement but it helps your chances of getting hired so it’s a good idea, and it’s something I’d enjoy anyway.”
I smile. “You are such a nerd.”
“I’m your nerd,” he replies, and pecks my nose. Then his voice turns serious as he looks me in the eyes. “I don’t want to keep us a secret, Wes. I don’t want to hide what we are. Not from our families, our friends. Not anyone. You’re too big a deal for me to do that.”
I swallow. I’m not worried about our parents, or my brother and sister. Honestly, I’m pretty sure they’ll have seen this coming, and they’ll be happy for us, but school is scarier. Still, I don’t want to keep Coop a secret, either. I want to hold his hand, and steal kisses with him. I want to cheer him on at his football games and have him cheer me on at my swim meets, with people knowing he’s my boyfriend. I love that that’swho he is to me, and I don’t want to hide it, like it’s some dirty little secret. I shouldn’t have to hide it. And with our families backing us up, and Riley, I’m hopeful it’ll be easier. This is something we’re going to have to deal with our entire lives. Prejudice, ignorance, and hatred. I hate that, but I can’t change it. All I can do is face it, with Cooper by my side.
I nod. “I want that, too.”
Cooper smiles and kisses me. And we lay there, under the stars, kissing again, and again, and again.
WESLEY - PRESENT DAY
I trace my fingers over Cooper’s chest as I lay with my head resting against it still. I’d woken up this way, and I’m in no hurry to move. After everything, and after last night, I’d stop time if I could, and stay like this with Cooper forever. Even with the storm it was the best night's sleep I’d had in a long time.
“Hey,” I hear Cooper’s gruff voice from above me, and I smile slightly. His voice is even sexier in the morning when he’s still waking up. Gentle fingers stroke my arm, and soft lips press against my hair. “Morning, beautiful.”
“Morning,” I say, blushing. It feels wonderful to hear Cooper say those words, and to know that he truly means them.
I lift my head and press my lips to his in a soft kiss as he runs his fingers through my hair.
My cock is hard, and I don’t try to hide it as I press myself against him and nibble on his jaw. He chuckles. I drape my leg over his, my knee pressing into his balls.
He closes his eyes. “God, that feels good.” His chuckles turn into moans as I work my way up to his ear, nibbling and sucking on his lobe. He groans and my cock twitches against his thigh. “Fuck, Wes.” His voice is raspy. He grips my face and pushes meaway, staring into my eyes. “Baby, please, I don’t want you to do anything you’re going to regret. And if you keep that up, I’m going to come, probably without you even touching me. I’m so fucking hard right now.”
I smile and push myself up a little, rutting against him, and he growls, his eyes closing again. “Wes,” he moans, bucking his hips, and then I go for the gold. I wrap my hand around his gorgeous, thick cock. Fuck, it’s been way too long since I had my hand on him. It feels so good. So perfect. Warm, and slick, with precum already dripping down the sides. The head is red and angry, and it twitches in my hand as I grasp it and begin to stroke. He writhes underneath me, and I come alive, watching as he falls apart at my touch. Fuck, I’d forgotten how incredible it is to be the one to pleasure him. The way he moves, the sounds he makes, the look on his face. The way he bites his lip to keep from being too loud. His abdominal muscles tense, his thighs trembling, his chest rising and falling. All for me. God, I love sex. And I love him.
“Wes,” he cries, on a gasp. “Baby, I’m so close. I can’t. I...it’s been so long.”
I smile at that. Then I lean over and kiss him, as I continue to stroke him, drawing even more desperate, needy sounds out of him. My cock aches for release, but right now I’m focused on him. “Come for me, Cooper,” I whisper, nuzzling his neck. “Let me hear you, baby. Don’t hold back.”
