Excerpt
Leith could still taste the sweat. Hear the cheers, and smell the stench
of cheap beer. “I won. But then he started puking
blood. It was unreal. Everyone panicked—they just broke and ran. Sweets
tried to convince me to leave, too, but I couldn’t just let that kid…I mean, he was…there was blood everywhere and it
just didn’t stop.”
“So you called 911.”
“I did.”
“And you waited for them so he
wouldn’t be alone.”
Leith could smell the copper of blood as he whispered, “Yeah.”
“And he lived because of you.”
“He also almost died because of me.”
“Well, you got to spend two years in
prison for that, so I figure you paid plenty for that lack of judgment. Time to
stop flogging that dead horse. He lived. You did your time for your bad
choices. It’s done. And now you’re here with me. Life led you
right into my arms.”
Leith snorted. “You’re kind of a hippie romantic.”
“You’re kind of determined to beat
yourself up about stuff you can’t control. And you’re a romantic, too, so we’re matched there.”
“You make me feel good,” he blurted. “Really good.”
Zach crawled over, pushing him down on the ground and climbing
on top of him, running his hands over Leith’s chest. “I can’t help it. I just know exactly
what you need.”
“Oh really?”
“Oh yes.”
Leith kissed him, and thought that Zach did know what he needed.
But he also sensed that in some way he didn’t yet understand, Leith held the
cards between them. Somehow that made him want to protect Zach, and that
feeling always made him want to fuck him.
A few minutes later Zach was riding him, his head thrown back and
his skin beautiful with red, orange, and blue flickers from the campfire. Leith
gripped Zach’s hips and watched his cock bounce, the strings of pre-come
glistening in the flame’s glow.
