The problem is, Rusty is straight and like hell he was professing his love again. He has to learn to deal and realize that sometimes love can bloom even in the most confusing of circumstances.
Be Warned: m/m sex
Excerpt:
“Say something,” Rusty whispered.
Before he thought things through, he stepped over the welcome mat and pulled Rusty in his arms for the second time. He felt Rusty’s labored breathing slow. Then his lips found Rusty’s, and any hope of further conversation was gone.
The kiss was gentle, multiple quick pecks on lips. But even as soft as the kisses were, they held enough feeling to send blood flowing to his dick. He couldn’t believe this. He was kissing Rusty, the same Rusty who’d broken his heart. But now he understood why. The thought of all Rusty had been through, the pain he’d dealt with, was astounding.
We were so close, he thought. Why didn’t he tell me?
But then he realized it had everything to do with Grandpa Stammers, the man Rusty still cared for to this day.
What a bastard…
In his desperation to soak up the pain Rusty must have been going through, he kissed him harder, licking at his mouth to gain entrance. Rusty accepted him at once, not caring about the hardness of bodies and the way their facial hair brushed as they kissed. All man on man. His dick was tucked up in his waistband, and he breathed as it ached and wept in his pajama bottoms. But then Rusty was backing away.
“I need to think,” Rusty said. “I should go.”
“No, stay here with me.” Now that he’d had a taste of his mouth, the beer, and something sweeter, he wasn’t eager to let him go.
“A-are you sure?” he asked.
His response was to kiss Rusty again. When Rusty moaned against him, he echoed the sound, tightening his hold.
“Ugh,” said Skyler from inside. “Marty, you may want to take this to your room. If Mrs. Miller next-door sees this, she’d be liable to have an aneurysm.”
Yeah, he’d forgotten they’d been out on the porch with the light on. The moment was intense, and he was so busy kissing Rusty he hadn’t thought of them catching attention. With how horny he was, he was almost willing to strip his clothes right now on the patio.
“Come on,” he said, grabbing Rusty and pulling him inside.
