hissed.  Have I ever told you I love your cock?
The sound that escaped Jason was half chuckle, half moan.
 You have now. Don t stop doing that.
 Don t worry. Tristan tightened his grip.
Jason wrapped a hand around Tristan s. Together, they stroked
themselves and each other, first slowly and then faster. The sweet
friction of Tristan s hand, and Tristan s silky-hard dick against his
own, drove Jason crazy. Within minutes Jason s hips moved in
shallow, involuntary thrusts, and he was panting.
Tristan appeared to be in the same state he was. A pink flush
spread up Tristan s chest, and his breathing was labored. His green
eyes met Jason s, bright with arousal and love.  Come with me.
The quiet request and the look in Tristan s eyes were too much
to resist.  Tris. Holding their eye contact, Jason came, semen
spurting between them.
Tristan gasped. His erection twitched in Jason s hand, and
thick, hot liquid poured from him, coating their hands.
They both stilled for a moment, staring at each other.
Satisfaction and happiness were written all over Tristan s face, and
Jason knew it had to be on his own as well.
The sensation of cooling cum rolling down his hand took Jason
out of the moment.  Maybe we should shower.
Tristan wrinkled his nose and glanced down at the large wet
spot on the mattress.  And change the sheets.
Jason followed his gaze and laughed.  And change the sheets.
But let s shower first. I don t think I m finished with you yet.

Grinning, Tristan slid out of bed.  I like the sound of that.

Later, after a quick trip to his place for some clothes, Jason
returned to Tristan s. They d just settled in on the couch to watch a
movie when the sharp rap of a knock on the door split the silence.
Tristan frowned, his expression puzzled.  Who could that be?
Jason had a pretty good idea.  Everybody was worried about
you. I bet you re going to have a lot of visitors over the next
couple of days.
 Oh. Hmm. Tristan got up and went to answer the door.
Several voices came from the other room, including Dixon s
squeals of delight. A sudden, paralyzing attack of nerves hit. Jason
clenched his fists and took a deep breath. There would be enough
excitement with Tristan waking up. Jason didn t think he could
deal with everyone seeing him just yet.
He closed his eyes, and with a silent apology to Tristan, shifted.
In seconds, he d be Cam again. Almost. He wondered if anyone
would notice the difference.
The voices came closer. Jason opened his eyes in time to see
Tristan enter, followed by Dix, Spoons, and Telly. Despite his fear
of Tristan s reaction to his cowardice, Jason didn t look away
when Tristan s gaze met his. Instead of the condemnation he
expected, he saw only understanding, and what looked like pride.
Dix was still talking.  Everyone was worried about you. She
cast a half accusing, half fond glance at Jason.  We were worried
about Cam, too. He wouldn t leave you for anything.
Jason s cheeks heated, but for once he didn t bother to disguise
the reaction.

 I knew he was there, Tristan said quietly, his eyes never
leaving Jason s face. The words meant a lot more than their surface
meanings. Jason could hear the love and devotion underlying them.
It never occurred to him to hide his feelings from everyone. He
held out a hand to Tristan. When Tristan clasped it, he kissed
Tristan s knuckles.
 You guys. Dixon s voice had a distinctly watery sound, as if
she tried not to cry. When Jason looked at her, she was wiping at
her eyes, probably trying to hide the fact that she was a romantic
under her tough exterior. She shouldn t have bothered. Jason had
known about her secret romantic streak for years.
Telly, on the other hand, sounded amused and pleased.  I m
guessing you two made up.
Tristan smiled.  Yeah.
Ever perceptive, Telly crossed the room and gave Tristan a
quick hug.  I just wanted to make sure you were okay, Doc. I ll see
you later.
Tristan hugged Telly back.  Thanks for stopping by.
Telly stepped away and turned to go. At the doorway, he
stopped and glanced back at them, grinning.  Oh, and Ned and
Dean said they wanted to kick your ass at pool again as soon as
you feel up to it.
Everyone laughed. Tristan s lack of skill had become common
knowledge around the Institute. Not bothered, Tristan joined in the
laughter.  Tell them they re on. Friday night.
 Will do.
Telly left. Dixon crossed the room to offer Tristan a hug of her
own. She whispered something in his ear that made him laugh
again.
Not wanting to get involved in a soppy conversation with Dix,

Jason stood and went to the kitchen. He got a soda out of the
refrigerator and popped the tab.
Spoons, who d been silent the whole time, followed him.  Can
I have one of those?
Jason grabbed another can and passed it over.  I never thanked
you for your advice.
The big man shrugged. He opened his soda and took a sip.  No
thanks necessary.
 Well, I m thanking you anyway. For being a friend. For
making him think. For being there. Jason tapped his soda against
Spoons s in a toast.
Spoons seemed to take the thanks in the spirit it was intended.
He nodded.  You re welcome.
Dix came into the kitchen. She grinned at Spoons.  I think
these two lovebirds need some time alone. Ready to go?
 Yeah. Spoons finished his drink in one long swallow and set
the can on the countertop.  See you later, Cam.
 See you.
With a smirk, Dix inclined her head toward the door.  We ll
see ourselves out. She grabbed Spoons s arm and pulled him
away.
Jason rolled his eyes. He loved his friends, but sometimes they
could be annoying. This time, though, Dix s idea was genius. Right
now he was more than ready to spend some more alone time with
Tristan.
He found Tristan on the couch. He took a seat next to Tristan,
drawing his lover into his arms.  Where were we?
Tristan smiled and traced a fingertip over Jason s cheekbone.
 You have the most beautiful eyes. I thought Cam s were
gorgeous, but yours are better.

Jason had his answer. Nobody else had seemed to notice Cam s
darker eyes, but of course Tristan would.  My hair s a little darker,
too. Baby steps.
* * *
Tristan gazed into Jason s stormy eyes. His lover had a lot
more courage than he gave himself credit for. Life as Cam had
been safe, comfortable. Life as Jason would mean starting over in
some ways, and taking risks.
 Baby steps sound good. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
