“Nope. It just sounded…tense.” Theo nuzzled the crook of Col’s neck, fighting the urge to suck.

“It’s a strong low-alloy steel that can withstand 50,000 to 100,000 pounds per square inch without breaking or deforming.”

“Oh. Your brain still works. Colour me impressed. What’s the opposite then.”

“Steel that’s rigid and brittle.”

Theo mock-whined. “I’m not those either.”

“Let’s take this discussion to bed and we’ll see if we can find the right words.”

By the time Col had dried Theo, he was hard again, and a bit scared.

“What’s going through your head?” Col let the water out of the bath, and dragged the towel over his own body.That is so hot!Theo knew he was gawping but he couldn’t help himself.

“Theo?”

“You don’t want to know.”

“Yeah, I do.”

He took a deep breath. “Will you fit? Will I scream? What if it hurts too much? What if I don’t like it? What if you don’t like it? What if you get stuck? What if your parents forgot something and turn up? What if the condom breaks and I get pregnant? Hmm. I’ve gone off-piste.”

Col pulled him into his arms. “We’re not going to do anything that freaks you out. If you want to stop, you say stop. If you want to fuck me, you can.”

“I want you to fuck me first. I read up what to do.”

“Not just looked at Pornhub?” Col slung his towel around his neck, took Theo’s hand and pulled him to his bedroom.

“I might have looked at that as well.”

Col groaned. “Shit! Don’t judge me by what you’ve seen on there. Those guys don’t really keep going for hours. You know that, right?”

“I only wanted to know what noises to make.”

Col laughed. “I’m not into spitting, by the way.”

“My mouth is so dry I couldn’t produce saliva if my life depended on it.”

“Ifmylife depended on it?”

“I’d manage it then.” Theo sighed. “I’m not totally inexperienced. I have had the odd thing up there.”

“Such as?”

“God, I’m not going to tell you. Nothing I didn’t get back, obviously. Nothing that required hospital treatment.” Though he had a minor panic once with a banana. Lesson learned there.Don’t peel it first.

Col dropped the towel on the floor and pulled the duvet off the bed. He tossed lube and a condom onto a pillow, then tugged Theo down.

“Shall I lie face down?” Theo asked. “Hang off the edge of the bed? Bend in half? Lie there and think of…not screaming? Oh God. Are your mum’s neighbours home? Are they busybodies? Policemen? How thick are the walls?”

“Theo.”

“What?”

“Shush. I’d like you on your back because I want to look at your face.”

“I want to look at you too.”
