Kit twists his lips. “Fascinating.”

Even as my knees tremble, I summon the courage to keep talking to the gorgeous man. “I was asked by the university if I would take it on a few years ago. It’s grown in popularity, and with my background in sociology it made sense for me to teach it. At the time I considered myself an ally and I was happy to teach the topic.”

“Uh-huh.”

“I figured out that the way I’ve felt about men most of my life is not heterosexual in nature.”

A slight smile tugs at his lips. “Yeah?”

“But the discovery came at a bad time. I was married.”

“Was?”

I nod. “I’m divorced now. Not because of that.” I tilt my head, recalling the therapist’s thoughts on the topic. “Well, maybe. I didn’t cheat, but… I’m sure you don’t want to know all of this.”

“You’re wrong. I do.”

I search his eyes for a moment. They’re so warm and kind, the words keep flowing. “We weren’t happy for a long time. We got married too young and grew in different directions. She wanted to take a job that paid a lot more than mine, but it would move us across the country. I just made tenure two years ago. I like it here.” I shrug. “I guess small towns suit me.”

“So you live locally then?”

“I do. You?”

“Yep. What brings you in tonight?”

Here it is. Right on a silver platter for me to take. I had no hopes of finding a man as hot as Kit, but if this is my one shot, I need to take it.

“Honestly?”

Kit nods, leaning just a little closer to me.

“I’ve, um, never actually…” I’m not sure I’m brave enough to say it out loud now that I have the opportunity.

“You’ve never been with a guy?” he guesses.

“Right.” I blow out a nervous breath. “But, um, I want to.”

“You’re just looking for a hookup?”

My body heats at the idea of him putting his hands on me. “Yes?”

Kit grins. “You don’t sound sure.”

“I’m sure. I’ve thought about it a lot. I considered going into the city so it would be more anonymous, I guess, but the idea practically gives me hives. I’m not a guy who goes out a lot. I came here hoping…” Shrugging, I continue, “I thought it might be easier to hook up first before jumping into the dating scene full on. You know what I mean?”

“I think so. You’re not sure you’re into sex with men?”

My breath catches as my cock twitches in my pants. “It’s not that. I’m sure. I wanted to, uh, get some experience. I figured it would help my confidence.”

Kit studies my face, even as he’s jostled by passing customers.

“Is that insane?”

“Not at all,” he says. “Pretty smart.” He closes in on me, draping his arms over my shoulders. His warm, slightly sweet breath fans across my face, and my insides quake from the attraction I feel. “What did you have in mind, Professor?”

Is he offering? Oh god. This is it. This is my chance.

“Uh, you know, whatever.”
