A Broken Kind of Life by Jamie Mayfield Read Free Book Online Page A

his last nights with David flooded his mind and made his pulse quicken. They were marred only marginally by his ex-boyfriend’s stupid view of Spencer’s deafness, but he could look past that and remember what being with David had felt like.
    Bringing up his favorite Twitter app, he watched his timeline for a few minutes to see who else was up who could distract him from worrying about his father. He talked to people all over the world in a dozen different time zones. Having friends on Twitter was easier than having them in real life. He didn’t have to tell them he was deaf. He didn’t have to see the pity in their eyes. He could simply be Spencer, and that was okay. Talking to guys and flirting with them online was safe—it wasn’t like he’d ever see them. Sexting guys over Twitter had turned into his escape.

    Spencer clicked the link to switch the page to his private messages, and sure enough, there was one from @BottomBoi asking him to Skype, and it pissed him off. He’d already explained about a dozen times that he didn’t want to talk to him over Skype. The kid thought he would be getting great video chat sex. All he’d get was silence and maybe a video to jack off to.

    It was an excuse he’d used over and over again, but one that seemed to work. Well, except with @BottomBoi, who offered to ship him a brand new computer headset so they could talk. God, if the guy only knew what he was asking, he’d shut the hell up. One day soon, he’d just give up and unfollow Spencer, who couldn’t wait for that day.

    Mark, whoever he was, understood that Spencer didn’t Skype. He’d asked once, and when Spencer refused, he hadn’t asked again. Instead, they’d gone onto chat and talked there privately. It was faster and more reliable than the private messaging system in Twitter.

    He brought up the chat window and minimized Twitter, no longer in the mood to deal with BottomBoi and his neediness. Besides, Mark was always fun inspiration for a late-night stroke. Just to be safe, he got up and locked his bedroom door as Mark’s first message popped up on his screen.
    MARK: been hard 4 u for days loved those pics you sent
    Spencer leaned back in his desk chair and popped the button on his jeans. He might not be able to talk a guy to orgasm, but he could certainly share some hot pictures. A few videos might reside on his phone too, but he felt reasonably sure his password would save him from curious eyes. He
