Page 33 of Skating to Him

“Yeah, parking is a bitch.” He strolled toward the door with me following.

I took in his rounded ass in his jeans. Was he a top or bottom? What if he was a top? My eyes grew wide. I didn’t need to think about that yet.

He opened the door and stopped, a coy grin curling his lips. “See you at practice.” Leaning in, he slid his fingers through the back of my hair, clutched it, and pressed a long, toe-curling kiss on my lips.

As he broke the kiss, my lips tingled and my cock thickened. Dammit, I couldn’t get enough. In a rasp, I said, “See you.” Icleared my throat.

He freed a soft laugh and walked away.

Holy shit, I was in for the ride of my life.

After class,I was back home at my dinette and failing miserably on my assignment for my fluid dynamics class. This shit should be easy for me, but getting Tyler out of my head was impossible. I glanced at my phone, plucked it off the table, and called Teddy.

The phone rang a few times and picked up. “Rowan, what a surprise.” He laughed as music played in the background.

“Where are you?” It was five here, so it was eight back home. “Are you in a bar?” A grin played over my mouth. Was he at the gay bar already?

“I am. But I have time for my newly queer bestie.” The music faded. “I walked outside so I could hear you better. What’s up with your new status? Are you embracing your bisexuality?”

“I am.” I puffed my chest out as warmth flooded my insides. “I had a talk with Tyler, and it went better than well. We’re starting a proper relationship. We, uh, we kissed and stuff.” I wasn’t going to tell him exactly what happened.

“Oh?” He paused. “What sort of stuff?”

Of course, he’d want the details. “Let’s just say we shared orgasms.” There, that was enough. I tapped my mechanical pencil on the table.

“And how do you feel about it?” he asked.

“Fine. Am I supposed to feel weird?” Maybe this queer thing was too easy for me? I twisted my lips, setting my pencil down and leaning back in my chair.

“No, but it would be normal for you to have some reservations. Take it easy on yourself.” He sighed. “My first time with a boy was so amazing.”

He’d never told me about that. Maybe he hadn’t thought I’dunderstand it until now. “Yeah? Tell me about it.” I set my phone on speaker and placed it next to my computer. This was going to be a longer conversation.

“It was in high school when we went to the Boston College frat party. Do you remember that? It was right before we got our acceptance letters,” he said.

“Yeah? When you disappeared on me for an hour?” Holy shit, he’d been with a guy that night? I stared at my phone. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I don’t know. It didn’t feel right to go off and kiss and tell.”

“To kiss and tell to me, or in general?” I gazed out the window next to the dinette into the afternoon sunshine and shadows from the courtyard trees. Had he felt like he couldn’t talk to me about these things?

“I think in general. I’d wanted to see him again. I think I thought I’d jinx it or something.” He sighed.

“Oh. Did you see him again?” I came toward the table, resting my forearms on either side of my laptop.

“No, I didn’t. It was okay though. I’d moved on,” he said. “Enough about me. Tell me more about what’s going on between you and Tyler.”

“The experience he had in high school was really bad. When he told the guy he was hooking up with he loved him, that’s when he got dumped.” I rolled my lips. No wonder he’d been fearful of me.

“Oh, that’s terrible.” He tutted. “You have some work cut out for you. You’ll have to prove yourself to him.”

“I know, and I will.” Once I made my mind up about something, I was full speed ahead. I ran my finger along the edge of my laptop. There were things I could ask Teddy and not sound like an idiot. “Teddy, what about the top and bottom thing? How does that work?”

He choked out a laugh. “You already want to have anal sex with him?”

“No, I just don’t know which one he is. What if he’s a top?”My gut clenched. I couldn’t fathom having a guy’s dick in my ass.

“When the time comes, you two need to have a discussion. You never know. He could be vers.” Teddy’s breath snagged. “You might want to watch some more porn and see what you like. Then, when you’re with him, you could try things, and you’d know what you’re doing. You get me?”
