Book Excerpt The River Leith




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 panickedthey just broke and ran. Sweets tried to convince me to leave, too, but I couldnt just let that kidI mean, he wasthere was blood everywhere and it just didnt stop.
So you called 911.
I did.
And you waited for them so he wouldnt 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. Its done. And now youre here with me. Life led you right into my arms.
Leith snorted. Youre kind of a hippie romantic.
Youre kind of determined to beat yourself up about stuff you cant control. And youre a romantic, too, so were 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 Leiths chest. I cant 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 didnt 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 Zachs hips and watched his cock bounce, the strings of pre-come glistening in the flames glow.
