protect him from the bigots Chet knew would love to destroy him. And here I am fucking him to the point of pain , he acknowledged when he saw Bobby flinch.
Chet slowed his thrusts and lowered himself to lie on top of Bobby. “Let me make love to you.”
Bobby winced and removed his legs from Chet’s shoulders. “I thought that’s what you were doing?”
Chet grinned. “Sure, but it’s not the way I’ve always dreamed of making love to you.” He swivelled his hips on the down stroke, grinding his groin against Bobby. “Do you still like to collect autographs from your favourite players?”
Bobby nodded.
“Good, because I have a couple for you in my closet. I met a few Chargers when I was in San Diego for the bowl game.”
“For real?”
“Yep. See, even if I wasn’t with you it didn’t mean you weren’t on my mind.” Chet reached between them and covered Bobby’s hand. He stared into Bobby’s eyes as he helped stroke his cock. He was close, but coming before Bobby wasn’t an option. He rose up and stared down at the beautiful body under him. “Show me.”
With his nostrils flared, Bobby buried his head back into the fluffy down pillow and opened his mouth in a silent cry as the first strand of cum shot from his cock. “Chet,” he gasped as three more strands splashed white pearls onto his stomach.
“Beautiful,” Chet whispered as he released his own seed. Never would he forget the sight of Bobby at that moment. Suddenly, he wanted to bare his soul, and wash away his sins in the loving gaze of a twenty-two-year-old man. “I was too ashamed to come to your dad’s funeral,” he confessed.
“I needed you.” Bobby winced once again when he straightened his legs.
“That’s the third time you’ve done that.”
“What?” Bobby asked, running his fingers through Chet’s hair.
“Am I hurting you?” Chet pulled out and sat back on his heels. He removed the condom and tied it off before dropping it into the trashcan beside the bed.
“No,” Bobby said, leaning up on his elbows. “I’m just not used to being folded in half like a taco shell.”
For some reason the analogy struck Chet as funny. He dropped to Bobby’s side and pulled the younger man against him. “Your folks trusted me to do what was best for you, and I betrayed them.”
“Yes, you did,” Bobby agreed, drawing his fingers through Chet’s chest hair.
Although Chet knew he had, it was hard to hear. “I know.”
“No, I don’t think you do. I remember the conversation you had with my mom at my graduation party. She made you promise to take care of me if she sent me off to Arizona and you told her you would.” Bobby pinched Chet’s nipple hard enough to bring tears to Chet’s eyes. “But then you left me in a city where I didn’t know another soul.”
“I kissed you,” Chet tried to explain. “You were only eighteen. Your parents trusted me as a guardian, not a lover.”
“Did they say that?” Bobby shook his head. “Because I don’t remember that part. I think you’re making up stuff now just to get out of feeling guilty.”
Chet rubbed Bobby’s back. “Have you always been this argumentative or is this something you picked up in the last three years?”
Bobby leaned up to stare down at Chet. “You can say what you want, but you really only know Bobby Ray Sikes from Star City Arkansas. You may call me Bobby now, but you still think of me as that hick you took to the city for the first time. I’m not that guy anymore.”
“What’re you saying?” Chet asked.
“That maybe you should take the time to get to know Bobby, college senior and soon to be social worker.”
Chapter Four
Bobby stood in front of the large house and swallowed around the lump in his throat. “Holy shit.” He glanced at the ripped and stained recliner in the back of his truck and cringed. “I’m gonna need to know where the town dump is.”
“Don’t be ridiculous.” Chet led the way to the massive
