“Is that what happens when you’re in bed on your own? One touch and you’re off?”

Theo shook his head. “I’m great at tormenting myself. I can last two, three…seconds. God, I even manage to count to four sometimes.”

But Col could see Theo laughing and was reassured. “Let’s aim for five then.”

Col pushed him back against the wall and pinned him in place. Even though he was pretty sure Theo was joking, Col told himself to take it easy, not to overwhelm a guy who’d never done any of this before. Though it didn’t help Col’s resolve when Theo suddenly had his hands all over him, and was squirming against him.

“Let’s not count,” Theo said.

Col dragged down his underwear, then dealt with Theo’s, so there was nothing between them. He wrapped his hand around their dicks and pulled Theo in tight. Theo squeaked and shivered before mumbling nonsense into the edge of Col’s mouth. His breathing was frantic, his entire body shaking, but then Col was in a similar state. Col’s hand was wet with precome and he dragged his fist up and down the two of them.

“Ohhh,” Theo wailed.

When Col brushed his thumb over the head of Theo’s cock, Theo writhed against him as if he were trying to crawl inside Col’s body.

“Oh God, God,” Theo gasped. “So good. Ah, aaah. Definitely don’t count. Oh fuck.”

He was doing better than Col, who couldn’t speak.

“Please,” Theo pleaded.

Col lifted his head and stopped moving his hand.Please what?

“Did I saymorealong with please?” Theo panted. “I was trying to. I didn’t accidentally saystop,did I? Oh fuck, don’t tell me I said stop. That would be a disaster.” Theo kissed him, his tongue surging into Col’s mouth as they rocked against each other.

Col felt himself sliding into a world where nothing mattered but what they were doing. Kissing and touching and…

“Oh Jesus.” Theo pulled back to breathe. He was shaking so much that Col thought he’d fall if he let him go. “I’m going to come. I don’t want to. Not yet. This feels so good. Your fingers are perfect. So perfect. Should I shut up? I don’t think I can. I really don’t want to come yet. Ah. No… Sorry. Changed my mind. Or rather my mind has been changed for me. I need to come. Oh God. Faster.”

Col smiled against Theo’s mouth, as he squeezed, caressed and tipped Theo over the brink. As Theo cried out and spurted all over Col’s fist and their cocks and stomachs—wow, that’s a lot of come—Col’s balls ignited and his own orgasm crashed over him, electric sparks flashing deep in his body. All he felt was pleasure as he came, delight that this was Theo he was with.

When he opened his eyes, Theo was staring at him, his face wreathed in smiles. Col’s heart hammered and above the sound of his laboured breathing, he could hear Theo talking.

“Don’t let me go,” Theo whispered. “Give me a minute, then we can do it again.” His eyes closed and he hummed. Then his eyes flashed open. “Youdowant to do it again? It was okay, wasn’t it? The clothes were a bit inconvenient. Why do we even wear clothes? We should take them off the moment we see each other because this is what I want to do all the time. ALL THE BLOODY TIME! Except more. There’s a lot more. Is there an encyclopaedia about gay sex? Or do you know everything? Teach me. Show me. Maybe one day I’ll let you count.”

Col took a deep breath. He’d never been with anyone who talked as much as Theo, especially not while they were messing around or having sex.

“That was so hot.” Theo moaned. “The best thing ever. I can’t… Oh fuck. How long have I waited for that? How could you get both of us into your fist? Oh, it’s because I’m small, isn’t it? Disappointingly small? Don’t tell me. I really don’t need that question answered. Disappointing is not a word I like to hear in any circumstances.”

“Shush,” Col finally managed. “I have large hands.” He let go of their cocks, brought his hand to his mouth and sucked the junction of his thumb and first finger.

Theo looked as if his eyes were going to pop out of his head. He swallowed hard, then caught hold of Col’s wrist and tentatively dragged his tongue over his fingers.

“Okay?” Col asked.

“I can’t tell you from me.” He licked Col’s fingers again. “Nope. Want a shower? We’ll be here a long while if I have to lick you clean.”

“Sounds fun, but you need to go and speak to your father and I have to go home. I promised my mum I’d get their suitcases out of the attic. She likes to practise-pack a few times to make sure she can get everything in. My dad has a thing about spiders. My mum has a thing about him going up ladders.”

Theo took his hand and pulled him into the bathroom. “You can go first in case the hot water runs out.”

Col pulled Theo under the water with him and even though there was nowhere near enough room, he was glad he had. Any excuse to run his hands over Theo’s lovely body. But when they both started to get hard again, Col made himself get out. He threw Theo a towel.

“The pain of discovering I’m not irresistible.” Theo clutched his chest and joined him on the bathmat. “I think my heart might be breaking. Can you hear it cracking?”

“I’m trying to be a good guy here. Doing the right thing.”

“What would you really like to do?” Theo followed him into the other room.
