I prop , muscular neck, his firm collarbone, his beautiful chest His niles are flat, brown, and small and his tanned skin is stretched taut over solid, beautifully shaped ed and flat, that dark brown trail of hair leading froht I reach out, dragdown, down, until I brush against his erection

It twitches and moves beneath the fabric of his boxer briefs, and I draw hs, and I turn a lare on him "Don’t make fun," I say, my voice prim

"Ah, Chels Never You’re just too cute" He cupsover uy like this before, have you?"

"No" I feel silly, being so inexperienced, and I shouldn’t beat et a chance to do so like this? I’ve been alone and socially aard e years Boys never paid attention toin a bed with as

"Let’s free the beast" He starts to tug down his underwear and I laugh at hiainst his firhs, his knees, his hairy calves Until his underwear is around his ankles and he’s kicking them off onto the floor Naked and bare before me, he resuaze at his erection, fascinated with the shape, the way it arcs toward his stomach It’s thick and veiny, the head plum-shaped, and a bit of creamy liquid leaks from the tip

I wrapat how seously scary or anything, but nothing small either, and I remember how uncoer insideinside oing to hold it or do so with it?" His voice is strained, and he sounds like he’s almost in pain

"What do you want ripsand pulling, and I follow his lead, reaching down to caress his balls because you know, I’ve gone this far, so …

Why not?

"Jesus Just like that," he encourages, re his hand fro hi my best to drive him crazy the way he just drovetheertip He tre on his skin I can smell him I want to taste him

He likes it I like it I wish I had the nerve to draw hiue I want to, but what if I do it wrong? What if I so at me?

I don’t know if I could ever recover from that

"There’s no textbook on how to touch my cock, Chels"

His words, specifically the use of one particular word, uring out what’s running through my mind I just flat-out don’t knohat to do or how to do it

"What if I mess up?" I ask, my voice a mere whisper

"Baby You touchis how he just called , I’ll probably coers within seconds, so be prepared"

Um Wow He’s just so matter-of-fact about it I wish I could be the sa up and down, squeezing and releasing He grabsme until I can’t breathe I’m surrounded by hiue tangled around , his other hand coain and then he wrenches his ony written all over his handso all over ers, just like he said My fist is slick and wet, and I watch with fascination as he falls apart right before ht before him

It’s so inti a I’ve never done before with anyone else I don’t knohat to say, how to react

So I follow his lead We both go to the bathroom to clean up in the dark so we don’t have to see each other nad in the harsh lights I think he knows I’ shy, despite what just happened between us He pullsme so softly, so sweetly Io to sleep," he whispers against et back home so I can turn in that paper"

"Always the conscientious student" He kisses the tip ofme from the bathroom toward the bed "Come on, Chels I’ll tuck you in"

I stand back when he fluffs the pillows and pulls down the covers,butt Even in the diht I can see it and I don’t even care if he catcheshim out

If he thinks I have a nice one, he should take a look at his I alht, climb in," he says with a wave of his hand and I do as he says, lying still as he tugs the blankets up toover me, he drops a kiss onin beside me

He lies on his side and pullsto his heartbeat beneath ainstbut I don’t knohat I’one to understand hi I’ve never felt so safe, so content, in all my life
