Chapter 9
Chapter Nine
The house was quiet except for the television, which Jamie had on at low volume, so he didn’t wake Kenny, who had already been up once for a glass of water.
Jamie’s exam period began the following day, and that meant the start of a very busy time for him.
Still, he was ready. His exams were done, and he had printed them and had them organized by class.
His article had been accepted by the editor and was going to be published.
And he had enough material for a follow-up, which the editor had asked for, so he was starting the basic outline of what he wanted to include.
This topic had become more lively and timely with the release and popularity of the new cinematic version of Frankenstein.
Jamie checked the clock and saved his document. Then he closed his laptop and went to the sofa. Todd was asleep. Quietly, he turned off the television and spread the couch blanket over him.
Todd started and sat up.
“I didn’t mean to disturb you.” Jamie folded the blanket as Todd got up.
“No. I should go to bed. But I know I’m not going to sleep.” He sighed.
“You just were.”
“Yeah, well….” He shrugged. “Let’s go to bed. I know you have a big day.”
“I do. Remember that I can’t take you to your interview, but Anne, one of the other professors, has agreed to give you a ride.
I have to be in my office. So, I’ll take Kenny into the college with me, and he can shadow me until after your interview.
” He figured he could take some of Kenny’s books, and he could color and work on more math problems. Jamie turned out the lights and stopped at the guest room.
Kenny was asleep, curled in the middle of the bed, with Cindy right against his feet.
Jamie took Todd’s hand and led him down the hall to his room, closing the door behind them.
He hadn’t intended for anything particular to happen other than sleep, but Todd turned him and kissed him, the energy between them short-circuiting all his good intentions.
The heat skyrocketed, and everything that Jamie had been holding at bay came rushing forward.
It was like a dam of desire had broken, and Jamie found himself being carried downstream… and he did nothing to stop it.
“Are you sure you want this?” Todd whispered when he pulled back.
Jamie cupped his cheeks and kissed him back with everything he had.
Hours sitting behind that computer trying to work while he peered over it to watch Todd.
How many times did he have to keep his hands to himself when all he wanted was to pull Todd to him?
And all that malarkey about taking things slow because so much had changed.
He knew it had been for both of them, but there was only so much hotness in the house that he could take… and damn it, he had reached that limit.
Todd lifted him off his feet, propelling him toward the bed, where he set him down and pressed him back.
He tugged Jamie’s shirt upward, his hot tongue traced along his belly and chest, swirling around a nipple before sucking on it in a groan-inducing swirl of pleasure.
Every cell in his body seemed activated all at once.
The sheets under him smoothed along his skin as some of Todd’s weight settled on top of him.
A fingertip—light, enticing—pulled a moan as Todd ran his hand just above the waistband of his pants.
He held his breath, pulling in his belly, willing Todd to take all he wanted.
“What are you waiting for?” Jamie asked breathily. He could hardly pull air into his lungs, he was so excited.
“Are you in a hurry?” Todd asked. “I’ve waited to have you like this, so I’m not going to rush it. I fully intend to take my time.” He ran his fingers over his belly before pulling off Jamie’s shirt altogether. “You and I have all night.”
Jamie shivered, and it wasn’t from the chill in the air. Excitement poured off Todd, and Jamie found it catching. It built within him as well, so when he held Todd tighter, Jamie groaned and returned Todd’s kisses with all the passion and desire he could muster.
It was important that Todd know what he did to him.
Years of crushes and fantasies seemed to be coming to life in a matter of minutes.
Jamie reached for Todd’s shirt, getting it over his head before tossing it aside.
His hands roamed over hard chest muscles and down his waist before cupping his jeans-covered backside.
Damn, the man seemed to be hard everywhere, and judging by the thick bar against his leg, Jamie wasn’t the only one excited as all hell.
“What is it that you like?” Todd asked softly.
“We’re going to have this discussion now?” Jamie returned. “I mean, I pretty much assumed you were the kind of guy who liked to be a pitcher rather than a catcher.” And he was fine with that. “I tend to be open to either.”
“Oh.” Todd nuzzled his neck. “Me too.”
Jamie gasped. The thought of being inside Todd was nearly overwhelming.
He had sort of figured that something like that was out of the picture.
Not that he was going to press for it to happen right away, and not tonight, but damn, just the idea was enough to set his mind flying.
“O-kay,” Jamie whispered, his throat suddenly dry. “Is that what you want tonight?”
Todd stilled, looking into his eyes. “Tonight is for getting to know each other. To see what each of us tastes like, and for me to watch you as you roll your eyes back in pure ecstasy.” He kissed him again, and Jamie wondered what Todd was truly planning.
They were holding each other on the bed.
Jamie was nearly out of his mind with desire, and they had only taken their shirts off.
Whenever Jamie got a chance to take a breath, Todd drove him crazy with a lick here or a touch there.
It was like he didn’t know what was going to happen next, and it drove him crazy.
More than once, Todd had tugged on his belt, only to leave it in place.
He was so warm and nearly crazy with desire. “Todd….”
“What?” Todd asked quietly, his voice husky.
“You’re gonna make me come in my pants,” Jamie admitted. He was almost ashamed. He was no longer a teenager, and yet Todd had him damned near the edge. And all Todd did was chuckle before teasing him more. “Geez, Todd…,” Jamie groaned.
Finally, Todd tugged open his belt and the snap on the waistband of his jeans. Jamie groaned as Todd slid his fingers under the waistband of his underwear, teasing him some more. Jamie closed his eyes, willing Todd for more, but he truly seemed intent on going at a glacial pace.
“You know Kenny is going to wake up and try to find us.” Jamie smirked. His cock throbbed with each touch, and he had to tamp down his desire or else he was going to go over the edge.
Todd chuckled before nuzzling his package through the fabric.
Jamie heard himself mewl and tried to stop the sound, but it only seemed to urge Todd on, so maybe that was good.
Finally, he tugged at the waistband of his pants, pulling them off and over his legs.
Once he dropped them to the floor, Todd’s gaze raked over him, and Jamie quivered in anticipation before Todd drew closer.
Wrapping his fingers around Jamie, he stroked and then took him between his lips, sucking Jamie completely into wet heat.
Oh God. Thinking was out the window. The world narrowed to just the two of them and the bubble of sheer pleasure that formed around them. Jamie loved the way Todd touched him, how his hands never stopped moving. He caressed his chest and belly as his lips took him to heaven.
Jamie’s leg shook a little, and he stilled it, but soon pressure built from inside, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.
The last thing he wanted was for this to end, but his desire was too great, so he clung to the bedding and let Todd take him on a ride that ended with him arching his back, crying out into the darkness as his release slammed into him like a freight train.
He was totally out of control, and the sensation was remarkably mind-blowing.
Jamie gasped and tried to give Todd warning until there was no stopping his release no matter what he did.
Jamie woke wide-eyed and a little sore. Even though he and Todd had been up quite a bit of the night, he was still filled with energy.
“Daddy,” Kenny said from the bedroom doorway as Cindy jumped on the bed. “Did you and Jamie have a sleepover?” He ran to the bed. “I wanna have one too.” He jumped on the bed, and thankfully Todd caught him.
“Why don’t you go to your room and get dressed so we can all have breakfast before Jamie takes you to work with him?” He scooted Kenny out, and that gave them time to pull on clothes before making an appearance in the kitchen.
“Cindy sleeped with me all night,” Kenny declared as he bounded into the kitchen. His shoes didn’t match, and his shirt was on inside out, but he was dressed.
Todd helped straighten everything out while Jamie got his things together. They ate a quick breakfast, and then Jamie got Kenny in the car, kissed Todd goodbye, and went on to work.
He got Kenny set up in his office with his workbooks and things to do while he prepared for his first exam.
The college used a different schedule for exam weeks so that all the testing wasn’t crammed too close together, to give the students time to prepare and study.
Even though this was the first time slot in the rotation, the kids seemed to drag themselves in.
“Go sit right at my desk and be quiet, okay?” he told Kenny, who sat in his chair and opened his math workbook.
Then, once the bell rang, Jamie got everyone settled and handed out the exam sheets along with the booklets that they were to write their answers in.
With the room quiet, he sat next to Kenny, who looked up, smiled, and went back to math problems.
