Page 111 of The Waiting Game

In an attempt to stay awake, Jonah dicked around on his phone but as the minutes passed and there was no sign of Felix, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier until they closed.

Jittery with anticipation about the conversation they were about to have, Felix stepped into the bedroom.

The light was still on and Jonah was sprawled on the bed but this time, he was asleep.

For a moment, Felix thought he’d passed out immediately after his orgasm and he chuckled to himself but no, Jonah had cleaned up and put on sweats.

He lay in an awkward position, his phone clutched to his chest.

He was sleeping so deeply that he didn’t stir when Felix carefully pried his phone out of his loose grip and plugged it in to charge.

Oh, Jonah, Felix thought, feeling a warm wash of affection as he clicked out the light and fumbled through the dark room to his side of the bed.

When Felix slid in next to Jonah, he mumbled sleepily but didn’t wake.

Felix lay in the dark room, staring up at the ceiling. He was tired too but he’d spent the time in the shower thinking of how to explain to Jonah what had happened earlier.

Why he’d bolted.

Felix had flipped on the shower immediately but when he’d stripped out of his clothes, he’d realized his phone was in his pocket. Still a little panicky that he’d ruined everything, he’d hastily sent off a message to Ismael.

Something happened with Jonah!!

He’d gotten a reply almost immediately. Is he okay? Didn’t see anything happen in the game.

It had taken him a moment to realize Ismael thought Jonah was hurt. No, not like that. We kinda jerked off together.

Oh. How are you feeling about that?

Good. I mean, it was … it answered a lot of things I was wondering about, that’s for damn sure.

But?

But this wasn’t the plan! I was supposed to be sure I had my shit together first and … I’m freaking out a little.

Do you feel the urge to drink?

What? No! The thought actually hadn’t even crossed Felix’s mind. I’m feeling the urge to do more with Jonah!

Well, of the two, I feel much better about you wanting to suck your friend’s dick than suck down a bottle of vodka.

Ha ha. Thanks. Felix rolled his eyes.

Seriously though. Not making light of your concerns. Just think you may be panicking for no reason.

Maybe. I just … What if I rushed things? Felix chewed at his lip.

Did you initiate?

Sort of? Not really? It was pretty spontaneous.

Then I wouldn’t worry. You both wanted it, right?

Yeah. But what if HE regrets it??

What if he doesn’t?

It was that last question that really threw Felix.
