“Thanks, but I’m not really ready to date right now. Still getting over someone.”
Though it’d been nerve-racking, I had told Vincent I was gay a few days after moving into the dorm. His response had just beenCool.I knew not everyone would be so cool about it, but it’d made me feel amazing. Relieved.
Whether I was with Emery or not, I’d never go back to hiding who I was. He’d shown me there wasn’t any shame in it, and without him, I wasn’t sure I would’ve ever had the courage to be out and proud.
I closed my Intro to Law textbook and scooted back from my desk. “I can’t read any more tonight. My eyes are crossing.”
“I’m sure there’s a party we could crash,” Vincent said, closing his book too. “Or we can see if Faith wants to hang out.”
“How aboutyousee if she wants to hang?” I flopped on my bed and stared at the ceiling. “Then you can ask her about the con.”
He grabbed his phone and typed out a message, receiving an almost instant response that made him beam with a smile.
My phone lit up too, and I glanced at it with little interest. It was probably a Facebook notification or something else stupid. I jolted and nearly dropped the damn thing on my face when I saw the text from Emery.
Liam:Larry Junior has been captured. If you aren’t at the below address by eleven tonight, he will be disposed of.
Attached was a photo of the lube with duct tape around it.
I lost it. Completely lost it. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt, the tears in my eyes both from amusement but also happiness. Because after so many weeks of silence between me and Emery, I felt that things were finally about to get better.
“What’s so funny?” Vincent asked.
“Nothing,” I said, getting off the bed and finding my shoes. “You cool if I head out?”
“Sure. I take it the dude you’re not over yet texted you?”
I grabbed my keys off my desk and smirked at him. “Maybe. Don’t wait up for me.”
Then I left the dorm, practically jogging down the hall, down the stairs, and out to the parking lot toward my car. I hadn’t felt that excited in a while. Honestly, I hadn’t felt much of anything since I’d ended things with Emery. But now all the emotions came flooding back.
Ryan had said I could talk to Emery again, but I’d been too nervous. After pushing him away the time he came to my work and not responding to his previous texts, I hadn’t known if he even wanted me anymore.
But he does.
I got in my car and drove toward his neighborhood, my stomach full of butterflies. I sniffed my pits to make sure I didn’t stink and then breathed into my palm for a breath check. All good. The porch light was on when I pulled into his driveway. I cut the engine and flung open the door before slamming it and jogging toward the steps.
My heart was in my throat, and my legs couldn’t carry me fast enough. When the door opened and I saw Emery, I stumbled a little before throwing my arms around him and burying my face against his neck.
“Fuck, I missed you,” I mumbled against his skin, tears falling from my eyes. He smelled just as I remembered, but he seemed warmer, as if I’d been cold for weeks and just now got some relief.
His arms slipped around my waist, and he tugged me inside the house before kicking the door closed. And then his lips were on mine and he was guiding me to his bedroom. He pulled at my shirt, and I tugged at his. Our teeth clanked, and we ran into the wall as we stripped each other down, creating a trail of clothes in the hall.
Once on the bed, Emery kissed down my chest and reached for the lube on the bedside table.
Going so long without his touch, I was desperate for him. We normally spent a lot of time on foreplay, but I needed him now. I couldn’t wait. By the eager way he settled between my legs and slipped my cock into his mouth, his slick fingers stroking my hole, I knew he felt the same.
“I need you,” I moaned, sliding my hand through his black hair as he sucked me.
His piercing blue eyes flashed to mine, and he added a second finger to my ass, sticking them in and spreading them apart, opening me wider.
I needed to taste him too. When I felt like I was prepared enough, I sat up and grabbed his head to stop him.
He frowned. “What’s wrong?”
Then I flipped him to his back. A smile lifted the corner of his mouth. I got between his legs and took his thick erection in my hand, giving it a nice stroke before slipping the tip into my mouth. I played with his balls as I sucked him, letting the sound of his sexy moans encourage me further.
“Cason,” he panted, his gorgeous chest rising and falling with his quick breaths.
