Page 62 of His For the Summer

“For you, I’ll do anything.I love you too.”My words came out growly, fierce and protective.He whimpered, wrapping his arms around my waist, and holding me like I was a treasure he’d lost.He let out a shaky breath, then smiled up at me, his eyes shining in the starlight with unshed tears.

“Perfect answer,” he breathed.

Jay grabbed my chin and pulled my lips to his for a rough kiss.And suddenly, I couldn’t get enough of him.I didn’t know how I’d ever get enough of him.He pushed me down onto the dock, straddling my waist as I kissed him desperately, realizing all at once that this was it.

He was my person.He was so fucking brave to come to me and bare his soul, and I loved him all the more for it.I pulled back, staring up into his eyes, and smiled.No more secrets.

“I go to Stanford.”

“What?”Jay tilted his head, frowning down at me.

“I go to Stanford,” I repeated.“I was afraid to tell you.Afraid of what might happen if this was real.But I shouldn’t have been afraid.Not when you’re so brave.And when it’ll be so easy, because we go to the same school.”

He was quiet for a moment, like it took his brain a beat to catch up with what I was saying.“We go to the same school,” he said, a wide smile spreading across his lips.“Why wouldn’t you tell me that?”

I smirked up at him.“I think we discussed this.I’m emotionally stunted and lack communication skills.But you love me anyway.”

Jay was quiet for a moment, long enough for me to get anxious about what he was thinking about.Then he climbed out of my lap and grabbed my hands, hauling me to my feet.

He squeezed my hands, his eyes sparkling.“Come on.Let’s go home.And this time, I’m going to fuck you.And you are really going to like it.”

“I thought you were all about being the bottom,” I said, a strange flutter of anticipation running through my body.

He stood on his tiptoes and kissed me.“Usually, yes.But right now, I want to be the one taking care of you.”Then, without waiting to see if I was going to agree to his demands, he slipped on my flip-flops and turned, walking back down the dock.

“Hey!Get your own shoes.”

“My feet are delicate,” he said, holding out his hand.“Come on.I want to get inside you.”

“I love you so much right now.”

Grinning, he ducked his chin and pulled his hood back up, and I took his hand and followed him.

“Why is that hood so seductive?”I muttered.“It makes no sense.”

Jay

Ittookmeamoment to realize that Aiden wasn’t following me back to the cabin.I turned and found him standing at the end of the dock, grinning.I raised my eyebrows at him.“Fine, you can have the flip-flops,” I yelled.

But there was something else on his mind, and it was as clear as the mischievous grin on his face.“You know what we should do?”he asked, rubbing his hands together like an evil cartoon villain.That didn’t bode well.

“What?”I replied, slightly wary.

“Skinny dipping,” he suggested, a giddy excitement in his voice.

“Are you serious?”I raised an eyebrow, both horrified and intrigued by the idea.The lake was full of fish and… lake stuff.I’d been in it dozens of times since the beginning of the summer, but never naked.The thought of fish potentially touching my naked dick sent a shiver down my spine.

“Oh god, please don’t tell me you’re still worried about ‘lake stuff.’You just made that term up.”

“Whatever, there are creatures in there, and you know it!”I huffed, crossing my arms over my chest.

“Come on, Jay.It’ll be fun!What better way to celebrate our love than with an adventure?”Aiden insisted, already starting to unbutton his shirt.

“An adventure in public nudity and possibly getting arrested?”I muttered.I hesitated for a moment, weighing the pros and cons of this spontaneous adventure.On the one hand, it would be a wild memory to look back on; on the other hand, there were those damn fish.And they might touch my dick.

But I made the mistake of looking up.And he was standing there, stripping.It was a dark night, and the starlight glistened off of his beautiful, chiseled muscles, tempting me.And that was Aiden in a word: temptation.His wildness pulled me right out of my cautious comfort zone and straight into adventures.I loved that about him.
