Jay blinked, tilted his head. Then he returned Landon’s smile. “I think you’d be a mighty fine teacher. You’re so patient. Easy to talk to.”
Landon’s cheeks tinted, a flush of pride, not embarrassment. “Thanks. That… from you, it’s nice to hear.” Jay felt his own cheeks flush at that. Yeah, it was likewise nice to be held in someone’s high regard when he had so much respect and… adoration for them. He could admit it. He’d come to adore Landon in a way he couldn’t yet understand or put into words. But by god, he hoped he could figure it out sooner rather than later, because he felt like happiness was just dancing at his fingertips.
Chapter 14
At some point that night after coming in from working on the deck, their watching tv on the couch had gone from them sitting on opposite ends and eating sandwiches, to leaning against one another and drinking a beer. It hadn’t taken long for even that leaning shoulder-to-shoulder to evolve into making out.
Landon hadn’t necessarily expected to get laid that night. Sometimes after big conversations like that, Jay was more about just the act of touching, rather than getting off. Landon could understand it. For all that this sucked for Landon’s wary heart trying not to get attached, Jay had a whole life change to adjust to.
But Landon would admit, while he was a patient man, his dick was no such thing. So when Jay’d pulled Landon between his legs and gripped his ass, Landon had breathed a sigh of relief. They’d started with a slow grinding of their clothed cocks, then when Jay’d made sure the blinds were drawn, they were naked in short order and touching every inch of skin they could get their hands on.
Jay’s enthusiasm was fun. While some things he did with the sexual knowledge of any man who’d had sex with anyone, some of the new things, he fumbled with. But his enthusiasm and near teenaged excitement for each new experience was heady.
The way he fucking worshipped Landon’s body, made love to it like it might disappear on him, always left Landon not only sated, but feeling cherished. That was just as new to Landon as any of this was for Jay.
“Landon?” Jay asked into their kisses. Landon kept steadily stroking their cocks together where he’d trapped them in his lubed hands. That’d been the one thing he’d been daring enough to employ, lube. He figured it’d at least make the frotting more interesting. And perhaps it’d ease the way into eventually, maybe one day, talking about going further.
“Yeah?”
Jay rolled them over until Landon was on top, straddling him. The position was awesome because he could look down at Jay, take in his powerful shoulders and his lightly furred chest and tummy. He loved how Jay didn’t have the stomach of a teenage muscle head. He had an honest, working man’s build, complete with a slightly doughy stomach. But he was all power and built to go for hours, strong and sure.
“I want to try fucking. At least once,” Jay stated.
Landon stilled his hands, though Jay continued fucking up into his joined fists.
“Jay, we don’t have to, you know. It’s not like a gay test.”
Jay stopped moving and gripped Landon’s waist firmly. “I’m not worried about that. I want to fuck you, Landon. So bad. You have no idea. It’s like it’s just… not fucking enough, touching you like this.” Jay leaned up on his elbows and kissed Landon frantically. “This is great, this is perfect. But, if you like it, I really want to fuck you.”
Jay winced. “Unless you’re really not into it. Then I understand.”
Landon shook his head, slowly. Wasn’t this a day full of surprises? Hell, Jay was full of surprises. From that quiet, simple man he’d first seen in his parents’ kitchen to this almost daring, open Jay he had underneath him now, Landon was a little light headed from his wanting.
“I’d love to, I guess I just didn’t think you’d want…”
