Page 27 of The Fault Next Door

Ryder couldn’t believethat he really wanted to be with a man. The excitement of rubbing his cock against Nolan’s hadn’t worn off by late on Sunday evening. He’d skipped church to suck Nolan’s cock and wasn’t sorry about it. His parents would be pissed because he missed church, but he would never tell them why.

During the day, when they’d taken breaks from sex, Nolan helped him with the chores outside. It reminded him of how he and Amy had worked together on their home. He liked having someone else around. That it was a guy didn’t seem like a stretch. Maybe he’d always wanted a relationship with a guy. Whatever the reason, he wasn’t worried about being with Nolan like he’d thought he would be.

“I should go home and sleep in my own bed,” Nolan said.

The words disappointed Ryder, but he knew they wouldn’t get enough sleep if they stayed together.

"Yeah. I'm not really happy I won't wake up next to you, but you're right. We both have work in the morning and the last two nights, we've woken up to have sex in the middle of the night."

Nolan leaned over and kissed him. “It has been nice. But we both need sleep. I liked waking up to your hard cock pressing up against my back. I also enjoyed being sucked in the middle of the night.”

“That was nice. I like how you swirl your tongue around my cock. It feels so good.”

“We can work on that later in the week.”

Ryder chuckled. “I get off early this Wednesday. Maybe we can hit the chores early and then spend a few hours seeing how many times we can come.”

Nolan flashed him a huge smile. “I like that idea.”

Ryder slapped him on the ass and then pulled him into a hug. Hugging Nolan felt right. “I’ll see you later.”

Nolan held on for a long moment, then stepped back. "Have a good day tomorrow."

“You, too.”

When Nolan took off, Ryder felt empty. He glanced at his phone and saw he had two voicemails from his mom. He didn’t want to listen to them, but he knew he had to. He opened the first voicemail and blew out a slow breath filled with frustration before hitting play.

“It’s your mother. I want you to know I’m disappointed that you’ve missed church again.”

Ryder chuckled because she would be more than disappointed if she knew he’d been sucking Nolan’s cock while she’d been in church.

“Cindy’s mother has convinced her to go out with Daniel Needlemeyer. That man is a joke. You need to get yourself together and go beg Cindy to take you back. If you don’t, you will regret it.”

The eye roll was automatic. Why couldn’t his mother understand he would never date Cindy or anyone else she picked for him?

“You had better be at church on Wednesday. It will be your last chance to impress Cindy and her mother. I can’t believe you’ve turned out to be such a bad son.”

The voicemail ended, and he closed his eyes. Why had he moved back here? With Nolan living next door, it wasn’t too bad, but there was no way he would be able to take another two years of his mom acting like a crazed tyrant. He had no clue how to get her to stop.

He played the next voicemail, which wasn't any better than the first. "Ryder, I found another woman who is young, but her father is ready for her to get married. She turned eighteen last week, and they are prepared to pull her from school if you'll marry her. With her wide hips, she'll be able to pop out babies like crazy. You need to jump on this. I'll have her over after church on Sunday, and you can meet her."

There wasn't any way he would marry some eighteen-year-old child. He'd thought he was mature at eighteen, but thinking back to that time, he was worlds away from where he was now. No way would he force the girl to drop out of school and be his wife. This wasn't the fifteen hundreds or even eighteen hundreds. He didn't know what was wrong with his mother, but she needed to see someone about her obsession with marrying him off.

Amy had been dead for four years. Maybe most men would have already started dating, but he wasn't one of those men. Besides, now that he'd had a taste of Nolan, he wasn't sure he ever wanted to go back to dating women. Being with Nolan brought a level of excitement to his life he'd never experienced before. Sucking dick might not last, but for now, it was what he wanted.

He decided not to call his mom back because he didn’t want to get into another argument with her. No question, she was being ridiculous, but talking to her wasn’t working.

Work was boring on Monday, and it sucked that he didn't see Nolan on Monday night. On Tuesday, it was raining, but a huge delivery came in. He was in the middle of helping one of the other guys move a pallet to the back of the lot when the loader shifted, and everything pitched to the side. He was out of the way of the main load, but because of the way it fell, a piece of wood shot back, piercing his arm. Pain ricocheted around his body, and he dropped to the ground. The man driving the loader was in a worse position. All Ryder could see was blood.

Chaos erupted as more people came running back. They couldn't move the loader, which didn't surprise him. Someone finally remembered to call emergency services. He wanted to get up and help, but the pain hit hard. Eventually, he was loaded into a truck and driven over to a medical facility. He had no idea if the other guy from work would make it, so when they brought him into a room and told him to stretch out on the gurney, he wasn't sure where he was.

Then Nolan walked in.

Panic filled Ryder as Nolan flashed a smile and then came close. He couldn't let anyone know they were screwing around. If one of the guys from work figured it out, he would be crucified.

“Ah, what have we got here?” Nolan said as he pulled on gloves and bent over Ryder’s arm. “That looks like it hurts. I need an X-ray on this, Nurse Thompson.”

“Yes, sir. We’ll get that taken care of fast.”
