Chapter Eleven

Gary

In the morning, Gary stood under the steady stream of hot water in the motel shower, the steam filling his lungs with each inhale, warming him up from the inside out, while Jeff slept peacefully in the other room. Gary’s whole body began to buzz with a mixture of nervousness and excitement as images from the previous evening flashed in his mind—the smattering of hair on Jeff’s stomach, the fire in Jeff’s eyes while they’d both touched themselves, the sound of Jeff’s moan when he’d climaxed. He could hardly believe it’d been real.

Before they’d left Niles for Norman, Gary hadn’t thought that Jeff would ever want to move beyond their mutual masturbation sessions over the phone. But then, Jeff had surprised him with middle-of-the-night snuggles. And then, Jeff had surprised Garyagainby holding his hand while they’d watched that tornado funnel form. And those things, they’d been... spectacular.Incredible. Gary had been thunderstruck. But then, last night? Masturbating together?In person?!Climaxing onto Jeff’s bare stomach? Ho-ly heck.Thathad been...wow!

Gary’s cock started to stiffen. Sheesh, it had only been, what, seven hours since he’d last come? He hadn’t been this horny inyears.Better take care of it before Jeff woke up.

Slicking his palms with some bar soap, Gary took hold of his cock and started to—

“Morning,” Jeff mumbled, entering the bathroom.

Gary immediately released his member, raising both hands up as though he was some sort of wanted criminal. Luckily, Jeff wasn’t able to see him through the shower curtain. He wasn’t sure what would have been more embarrassing—being caught masturbating with some cheap hotel soap as lubricant or reacting in such a silly way to being startled. Geez.

Gary needed a few seconds to find his voice.

Eventually, he managed to say, “Howdy, Jeffrey!”

Howdy?!Dang, that was probably his worst verbal blunder yet.

Chuckling, Jeff said, “Everything okay in there?”

Gary frowned at his still-hard cock as though he was very disappointed in it. Why was it still so hard? Jeff had scared the metaphorical pants off of him! Even as he rolled his eyes at himself, he couldn’t help but wonder whether his cock would stay hard in more threatening situations as well.

“This is a stick up!” some frightening-looking man in a ski mask would say.

And then Gary’d point to his dick and say something like “Well, yeah, clearly.”

Jeff’s voice interrupted his bizarre fantasy. “Hello?”

Shoot.

“Yeah, sorry!”

The sound of Jeff’s urine splashing into the toilet water sent a second wave of embarrassed heat rushing to Gary’s cheeks. Wasn’t peeing in front of a romantic interest reserved for old married couples? Unbelievable! Jeff had whipped out his beautiful penis to urinate while Gary was naked two feet away behind a thin plastic curtain. Very normal for two people who hadn’t even kissed yet. Two people who liked each other but couldn’t be in a relationship.

“Wow, you’re like a racehorse,” Gary said for some stupid reason.

“Uh, yeah, thanks, radio man.”

Shit.

After flushing the toilet, Jeff turned on the faucet. Gary listened to the squelchy sounds of Jeff lathering his hands with soap. Somehow, his cock was still slightly hard, though that embarrassing racehorse comment seemed to have taken some of the wind out of its sails.

“Come out soon,” Jeff said. “I think I might have a surprise for you.”

Gary’s eyebrows shot up. “Oh, wow, okay.”

Once Jeff had left the bathroom, Gary finally recovered enough to finish showering. After he shut off the water, he stepped out of the shower and dried himself off. Then, as he was about to hang the towel back on the rack, he realized he’d forgotten his clothes back in the room. Shaking his head at his forgetfulness, he wrapped the towel around his waist and headed back out into the room.

Only, as soon as Gary exited the bathroom, he found Jeff relaxing—fully naked!—on Gary’s bed.

“Whoa!” Gary turned back around. “Were you not expecting me to come out yet?”

Jeff’s low, playful-sounding chuckle made Gary’s heart flutter.

“No, I was,” Jeff said. “Uhm, surprise?”
