But now it was out there in the open. Kind of similar to how it felt when I had him pinned up against the wall in the saloon.

“Fine,” he said. “So things are weird between us.”

“I like that I made you hard, Ori,” I said, squeezing my arms a little around him. “You know I’m not weirded out stuff like that.”

“So what?”

“So?” I pressed. “Sometimes I just feel like you don’t give two fucks aboutanythingI do.”

He groaned, arching his back. I liked the way his body felt in between my arms. A bit smaller than mine, in a good way.

There was something graceful about how he moved.

“That’s the problem,” he said. “I know you like it.”

“How is that an issue?”

He looked adorable all flustered like this, his eyes wide.

“Now you’re going to go around thinking you can just turn me on whenever you want,” he admitted.

“No I won’t.”

“I’ve seen you do it with girls, Finn,” he said. “The moment you sense any girl getting turned on by you, you lay it onthick. Because you like the attention.”

“Theylike it, too, though,” I said. “That’s the point. I never do anything people don’t want.”

He ran a hand through his dark hair.

“Fair enough,” he finally said.

I saw his cock bounce just a little under the sweatpants, right as I was touching him.

“It feels good,” he admitted. “And I’m also two seconds away from punching you in the face, just so you’re aware.”

That made me smile. “Good. We can fight, too, if you want to.”

Ori reached one of his hands down, pushing down on his cock. I recognized it instantly, because it was something I did sometimes, too. It meant he was really aching. Really hard. He was pushing on it because if he didn’t, it was only going to get worse.

My own cock hardened as I saw him do it.

Holy fuck.

This is turning me on.

When I saw how much he was aching, I couldn’t help but get hard, too.

I pulled my arms off of him and settled back on the blanket, feeling like I’d just stepped off a roller coaster.

It was dizzying. We were close to one another, our arms touching, but both of us were looking up at the sky now, lying back on the blanket.

“Goddamn,” I murmured.

The fire popped beside us.

It was all catching up with me. Until now, it had all felt like we were just fucking around, but…
