"Naughty boy," Ben teased, but his grin faded as he focused on meeting my thrusts with his own, driving his cock even further inside me.

I cried out against the gag, barely able to hold back any longer.I could feel the pressure building within me, threatening to explode at any moment.He reached for my cock and stroked it, telling me in quiet words how beautiful he found my body, how sexy my muscles looked as I rode him.

"Let go, Sutton," Ben urged, his eyes locked on mine."Come for me."

Hearing those words, I couldn't hold back any longer.With a strangled cry, I let go of control, thrusting my hips against his hand as I bounced on his cock.I whimpered his name into the gag as I came, my release spattering over my stomach and dripping down onto him.The sight of my orgasm seemed to push him over the edge too, and with a deep groan, he rammed into me one final time, pumping his own release inside me.

My body trembled as I collapsed onto Ben's chest, both of us gasping for breath after our orgasms.I could feel his heart pounding against my cheek, matching the rhythm of my own, and it felt like we were two parts of a whole, perfectly in sync.

"Fuck, Sutton," Ben whispered, his voice thick with emotion as he reached up and removed the gag, gently stroking the sides of my mouth, checking for injury."That was… incredible."

I couldn't help but agree, even though words seemed inadequate to describe the connection we had shared.He was still inside me, still hard, and I relished that for a moment, as I lay there, feeling the warmth of his skin against mine and the slickness of my cum between us.

"Ben?"I murmured hesitantly, not wanting to ruin the fragile peace we'd found.

"Yeah, babe?"He drew circles on my back, soothing me and holding me close.

"Never mind," I whispered, too afraid to ask.

Ben was silent for a moment."I don't know what's going on in that mixed-up head of yours, but I'm pretty sure pushing you won't help.So I'm going to leave it be for now.But I can't promise I won't feel the urge to push you outside of your comfort zone of easy fucks and meaningless sex."

As he soothed my body, I fought back tears, wondering if he could truly imagine that life.A life where we were together and everyone knew it, where the paparazzi descended upon us to meet the gay son of Lawrence Holm.

"Baby," he whispered, massaging my ass."I'm not in a hurry.We have time before camp ends."

"And until then?"

Ben smirked."I'm having a lot of damn fun waiting to see what you do, Sutton Holm.But please let me fuck you more than once a week.I can't stop staring at that goddamn ass."

I burst out laughing."I work extra hard on it in the gym.My ass."

"I knew it.Fuck, entire religions could be devoted to that ass…"

I smiled, shifting to the side to snuggle him, thinking about how Ben always knew exactly what to say.Even when it was something ridiculous.

Aswewalkeddownto the lake, the hot summer sun beating down on us, I couldn't take my eyes off Sutton.His broad, muscular shoulders rippled as he carried a stack of life jackets, his freckled skin glistening with a sheen of sweat.God, he looked good.

I forced myself to look away before anyone noticed me ogling him.As my friendship with Parker and Ravi grew, it was getting harder to keep my feelings for Sutton a secret——they weren't exactly Sutton's biggest fans these days.That, plus the sinking realization that, in a few short weeks, Sutton would head back to California, meant my anxiety had spiked through the roof.

And would he even look back?I'd told him I was going to give him time, but now time seemed to slip away, at a speed that was out of my control.There was less than a week left of camp, and every stolen moment with him felt like it might be the last.

My stomach tightened at that thought, and I forced myself to look away from Sutton.As intense as our sexual relationship was, it felt like everything else was at a standstill.I wanted to kiss him in front of everyone, to tell everyone how amazing he could be, to talk about the things we were fighting for.Instead, I was forced to remain silent, to hold it in, and to wonder if he even cared enough to keep things going.

When we reached the lake shore, Parker and Ravi were already there with their campers, unloading the kayaks from the shed by the dock.I hung back, watching as Sutton jumped right in to help, laughing and joking around with the kids.The kids adored him, maybe because he was more himself with them than he was with anyone.With the campers, he was funny, charming, and a little silly, and I wished that Ravi and Parker could understand how much that was a part of who he truly was.

Instead, they mostly talked shit about him——and he mostly deserved it, because he'd remained an asshole where both of my friends were concerned.

My mouth went dry.Sutton stripped off his t-shirt to reveal his chiseled abs and toned pecs.I had to bite my lip to keep from groaning out loud.Or licking him.His green swim trunks hung low on his hips, showing off the sexy V that disappeared beneath his waistband.I wanted to run my hands all over his smooth skin, grab that perfect bubble butt…

"Earth to Ben!Little help here?"Parker's voice snapped me out of my fantasies.

Feeling my face flush, I hurried over to help Parker and Ravi finish getting the kayaks in the water.Sutton, who had been helping kids with their life vests, climbed into one of the kayaks, his powerful thighs flexing as he settled into the seat.With a jaunty salute, he paddled out ahead with the kids, who were already out on the water.The rest of us followed behind to chase after the stragglers.

As I paddled, I couldn't stop my gaze from drifting to Sutton gliding through the water up ahead—the sunlight glinting off his dark hair, his biceps bulging as he moved the kayak more skillfully than he had any right to.I was in trouble.This beautiful jock had me completely under his spell, and hiding what I felt was getting more impossible by the minute.

Parker poked me with his paddle and nodded towards Sutton in the distance."He may be an asshole, but at least he's serving up the quality eye candy, right?"
