Take Me From This Pain, Kevin's story

Kevin peeked around the corner to make sure Jason hadn’t snuck in while he was in the shower. No sounds. The coast appeared to be clear. He quickly towel-dried his hair and dashed back into the bedroom.

Ryan had dropped him off after basketball practice ended so that Kevin could get ready for Jason’s Valentine’s Day surprise. The college student hadn’t seemed terribly put out by it and Kevin suspected Lee would have a surprise of his own waiting for him later. Ah, new love, Kevin grinned to himself. He thought those two looked very good together when he’d met Lee in the beginning of the semester, and he was amazed at the change in Ryan since then. He’d relaxed into a comfortable relationship ever since he’d been ‘outted’. And the gang couldn’t have been happier for them.

Kevin rubbed some scented body lotion on himself and pulled on the red thong. Gina was out for the night with the man she had been seeing for the last couple of months and he and Jason could be alone. He hoped his lover would like his ‘gift’, as Kevin hadn’t been able to buy anything. His money was still tied up in trust until he was eighteen and he hated to sponge off Gina anymore than he already did. Joey offered to lend him money but Kevin refused, and he balked at Randy’s idea of asking Jason for some. Asking the gift recipient to loan you money to buy his gift? Can you say tacky? Randy apparently can’t. Kevin hoped for Marly’s sake that Randy hadn’t asked her for a loan recently.

He finished getting ready then turned down the new red silk sheets Jason had bought earlier and slipped between them, bringing the top one just to his hips, suggestively displaying succulent white flesh. He sat and waited, but not for long. He heard Jason open the door and call his name. Kevin smiled quietly as he waited to be found.

“Ke-vin?” Jason called as his voice drew closer. “Where are you hiding? I know Ryan dropped you off here. I called him.”

Kevin giggled softly to himself, knowing Jason was approaching the door. He was dying to see his boyfriend now and hoped to hell Jason got to him soon. His cock was already twitching in anticipation.

“Ke-vin?” Jason sang again. “Where’s my little Princess?”

Kevin’s smile suddenly fell into a frown. Damn it! Jason was FAR too fond of that nickname. And if he thought Kevin didn’t know why he called him that, he was kidding himself. He knew the tall boy loved to be tortured by him and used the name to make sure it happened. Well, not tonight. At least not right now. Kevin slowly smiled mischievously as the doorknob turned and Jason crept into the room.

“Princess?”

“Not if you really do want to get your rocks off tonight, jock boy,” Kevin retorted lying back suggestively on the bed.

Jason’s eyes widened and his mouth dropped open at the sight of his lover lounging in such a state of undress. Were those thong straps he was seeing? He thought they were. Damn that little blonde was sexy!

“Or maybe it doesn’t matter,” Kevin went on with a slight shrug. “The mood is suddenly leaving me.”

“What?” Jason cried in alarm. “I’m sorry! I won’t call you that again tonight!”

“Just for tonight?” the small blonde raised a derisive eyebrow as he watched his larger lover discard his tee and kick off his shoes.

“Yeah,” Jason purred as he crawled on top of Kevin and kissed him deeply, winding damp blonde hair around his hand. “I can’t make any promises past that.”

“What if I demand that you do?” Kevin asked breathlessly.

“I’ll kiss you until you can’t think straight,” his dark-haired knight replied just before capturing his lips again.

Kevin tried to keep his mind on staying angry with Jason but he really couldn’t think straight when all of his senses were being assaulted at once. There was the feel of Jason’s tongue deep inside his mouth, not mention the taste. And the taller boy smelled so sexy. No cologne or aftershave for him. No. Jason was all soap and masculine scent - which was driving Kevin crazy at the moment. And then of course, there was the mental image emblazoned into his mind of Jason stark naked, which Kevin was going to help make a reality again in just a minute. But by far the most thrilling sensation right now was the guttural moan emanating from deep inside Jason’s throat. Nothing sexier existed on the planet as far as Kevin was concerned. Forgetting all about his threat, Kevin pushed himself up and flipped Jason onto his back, pawing at the zipper to his jeans.

“Easy, baby,” Jason laughed. “We have all night.”

“Yeah, and we’re about to test your stamina,” Kevin grinned as he unzipped the pants and pulled them off Jason’s hips. Then he gasped. “You went commando?”

“Surprise, my little thong angel,” the other boy purred and waggled his eyes suggestively. “You weren’t the only one with romance on the mind today.”

“I love you!” Kevin cried as he launched himself on top of his lover.

“Oooph!” Jason laughed then rolled the small boy onto his back and suckled his neck. “I love you, too.”

“Where is your roommate all the time?” Lee asked as he stepped into Ryan’s room.

“He actually moved out,” the dark-haired boy shrugged. “Last month, he called me at home to say he wasn’t coming back.”

“Couldn’t hack it?”

“Nah, I don’t think that was it. He was pulling good grades, as far as I know.”

“Then what do you think made him quit?”

“I have my theories,” Ryan sighed as he pulled the smaller boy into his lap on the couch. “But the main one is he never wanted to be a doctor in the first place.”

“He told you that?” Lee snuggled in closer to Ryan, leaning into the muscular chest behind him.

“Not in so many words,” Ryan replied. “But I could hear the arguments he’d had with his mother. He wanted to become a teacher and she made him come here. I’m guessing he decided to take control of his own life over break.”

“Well, good for him.”

“Yeah.”

The taller boy nuzzled Lee’s ear as they watched the rest of the news. When the anchor signed off, Ryan clicked the remote control and the screen went blank. Before he knew it, Lee found himself on his back stretched across the couch, his knees bent over the arm. Ryan hovered above him, smiling softly before swooping in for a deep kiss that made the blue-eyed boy’s toes curl in contentment.

“Mmm,” he said. “That’s nice. Do it again.”

“Whatever you want,” Ryan whispered.

He captured Lee’s mouth in an even more passionate kiss, delving his tongue deep into the sweet recesses within. Lee purred urging Ryan to deepen the kiss further.

“Oh, God, baby,” Lee sighed. “Maybe you should slow down. You know you’re not ready yet.”

“Do I?” Ryan smiled against his lips. “No, I don’t think I know that at all?”

“Ryan?” Lee asked in confusions.

“Lee,” he replied with a raised eyebrow.

“But . . .”

“Shhhh,” Ryan pressed a finger to Lee’s mouth to quiet him. “You’ve been incredibly patient.”

“Mmmph!”

“I said ‘Shhhh!’” Ryan grinned before pulling his finger away and dropping his hand to place it under the hem of Lee’s shirt and up the boy’s chest. He delighted in the gasp Lee emitted at the contact. “I know I’m ready now.”

“You do?”

“I do.”

“But it’s different with a boy,” Lee reminded him.

“That’s what I’m counting on,” Ryan sang back. He pulled Lee’s shirt up over his head and dropped it over the back of the couch then sat up and pulled his own off to join it.

“Are you absolutely sure?” Lee asked. “Because if you’re not . . .”

“If I wasn’t we wouldn’t be having this conversation.”

“But Ryan . . .”

“Lee Lee,” Ryan whispered softly, using the nickname Joey had unintentionally created the night he’d met the boy. “What’s wrong? Don’t you want me?”

“Want you?” Lee’s eyes shone with unshed tears. “You’re all I dream about. I just want you to be absolutely sure. Because if we make love and you leave me . . . I don’t know what I’d do.”

“Why would I leave you?” Ryan sat back and pulled Lee up into his arms, holding him tightly. “Why would I do that to you?”

“I just don’t want to be another experiment,” the smaller boy cried. “The first time was bad enough, and I didn’t even love him. I . . .” Lee suddenly clamped his mouth shut tight and struggled to get out of Ryan’s embrace.

But the dark-haired boy refused to let him go and pulled back just enough to look deeply into his boyfriend’s turquoise eyes. He knew Lee was embarrassed about the slip and he resolved to let the boy decide when they should discuss it. He seemed to have another, more urgent problem to tackle right now.

“I’m not experimenting with you, Lee,” he said solemnly. “And I’m not Danny. I would never leave you like he did. The reason I waited so long was so that I could be sure I could give you everything you deserved from a boyfriend. I’m sure you’re what I want.”

“But you still like girls,” the smaller boy cried softly.

“An attraction to them doesn’t mean I’ll ever leave you or cheat on you for one,” Ryan sighed. “I’m monogamous and you’re the one I want to be with. It’s simple.”

“It is?” Lee sniffed looking skeptical.

“It is for me,” Ryan replied touching his forehead to Lee’s. “And there’s more.”

“There is?” Lee was shaking a little now but he huddled closely to Ryan, a good sign as far as the dark-haired boy was concerned.

“Yeah,” Ryan smiled. “I’m hoping to convince you to leave your roommate and move in here with me.”

“Move in?” Lee’s eyes widened. “You want that? You want me to live here with you?”

“Only if you want to,” Ryan’s smile widened hopefully. ‘Please say yes,’ he silently pleaded.

“Oh God!” Lee grinned. “YES! Of course, yes!”

Ryan grinned as Lee pushed him onto his back and started kissing him wildly. Thank goodness he listened to his inner voice. It had told him Lee would be happy. And if Lee was happy, Ryan was happy. He gave himself over to a wave of passion that was slowly overtaking him.
