“That’s so sweet of you, Corduroy!” Denny says with a smile, and instantly, I melt. They come over and playfully push Simone away before wrapping their arms around my neck. They smile down at me, and I smile back up at them. “You sure are an amazing friend, Cory.”

“Simone set me up, you know,” I whisper, and they giggle before nodding. “You love to see me sweat, huh?”

They smirk before moving their lips closer to my ear so that no one can hear when they whisper, “I love to see you do a lot of things.” They bite my earlobe lightly before kissing it and pulling back to see me flustered. “You’re so cute.”

“You better chill out before we have to take a rain check on that celebration lunch,” I warn. They giggle, stepping out of my embrace before taking my hand in theirs.

“Ugh, come on, you two love birds,” Chey laughs as she and Harley walk around us towards the exit. Nala and Simone follow, leaving Denny and me to bring up the rear.

We head over to The Charms and get seated in a private room. I learned my lesson from last time and knew that I didn’t want a mishap like what happened when Christie rolled up on us. The last thing any of us needed was her, Meila, or Kelsey to bring their asses around, starting drama again.

Speaking of Christie, it’s been quiet as hell since that altercation a few weeks ago.

It’s almost like she disappeared after being exposed for the lying cheater she was.

I didn’t feel bad for her at all because she brought this upon herself.

I was madder at the fact that I’d spent so much time with a woman who didn’t care for me as much as she led on.

I wholeheartedly think that my finally letting her go was the first step on my road to recovery, and I was grateful that I had taken it.

I w as tired of the toxicity and drama, and all I wanted was to be happy and at peace.

And I could see that future clearer and clearer with each passing day.

Later That Night

“I love being around your friends,” Denny gushed as we got ready to settle in for the night. “I never thought I’d have a friend group who accepted and cared for me as much as you do, but because of you, I was blessed with one. Ahh, it feels so good!”

“Well, baby, I’m so glad you feel that way,” I smile, climbing into bed to cuddle with them. They snuggle up in my arms, resting their head against my chest. They sigh deeply before staring up at me. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” they whisper. “I just can’t believe that you and I are in this position. I know I say that almost every day, but it’s true. You’re all I’ve ever wanted, and the fact that I have you, that you have me…it’s never gonna feel real. Can you pinch me?”

“No, I’m not going to pinch you,” I chuckle, my hands traveling down to cup their ass. “Mm, but there’s so much more I wanna do with you.”

“Hm, like what?” they ask, a smirk playing at their lips. “Tell me what you want, baby.”

“I want you to come ride my face, Bunny,” I say, my eyes locking with theirs right as their breath hitches. I give their ass a slight squeez e, and they let out a whimper. I smirk. “Don’t get shy now. Come feed me, baby.”

“Anything for you, baby,” they giggle before sitting up.

I watch as they pull off their oversized shirt to reveal plump breasts with nipples that were pierced recently.

They weren’t wearing any underwear, so they were as naked as the day they were born, and I was mesmerized by their smooth skin and delicious curves.

I lick my lips, motioning for them to come over as I prop myself on a few pillows to minimize the strain on my back.

They crawl up my body until they're positioned just the way I like them, and then I begin my quest to bring them back-to-back pleasure.

“Oooh, fuck!” Denny exclaimed as they rocked their hips, trying their best to get my tongue as deep as they could. “Right there, Cory. Oooh, right there!”

“Give it to me, Bunny,” I whisper against their lower lips before continuing to devour every ounce of their sweetness. “I need this. I need all of it.”

“You can have it,” they whimpered. “You can have it all! Anytime you want it!”

“Shit, that’s what I like to hear,” I say as they shake against my tongue.

They try their best to pull away, but I tighten my grip on their thighs, holding them in place as I continue to eat them through to another release.

“Mmm, I can feel it building up. Give it to me, Bunny. Let me have what’s mine. ”

“Oh, shit!”

They continued to shake as I helped them ride the second wave down.

They collapsed on the bed beside me, trying their best to catch their breath.

I looked over at them with a smile as I propped myself up on my elbow.

They turned to face me, mirroring my movements.

All I can do is smile and push the strands of their curly hair out of the way.

“You’re so gorgeous,” I say. They smile, but it wavers a bit, causing my eyebrow to shoot up. “What’s wrong?”

“I just…I mean,” they slowly sit up, and I follow suit.

I wait as they take a deep breath, no doubt trying to collect themselves.

My heart beat wildly against my chest. Had I hurt them?

“Cory, I know this is gonna sound…a bit…I don’t know, but I know it’s gonna make you anxious, but I’ve been wanting to ask it for a while, and you can say no if you want! ”

“Denny, it’s okay,” I chuckle softly. I take their hands in mine, and they look at me with a soft expression. “Just take a deep breath and ask me your question.”

They nod, taking another deep breath before focusing their attention on me again. “Cory, I really want to return the favor of pleasing you, but I know you’ve never experienced that before, but…if you’re up for it, I want to be your first.”

I stared at them as I let their words sink in.

It wasn’t lost on me that Denny was a giver just as much as I was, but because they respected my boundaries, they never pushed for more, even though I knew that they wanted more.

They knew that I never let anyone go down on me, but what they didn’t know was that it wasn’t purely because I was uncomfortable; it was also because I didn’t trust anyone fully with my body… that is, until we started having sex.

Eve r since that first time in their office, there had been a few times when I imagined them returning the favor for me, but I was afraid of how to go about bringing that up, since they never pushed the issue.

Now that I know that they wanted to please me, I was a bit curious as to how it would feel.

“Cory? I-If you’re not ready for that, that’s okay,” they say frantically, but I squeeze their hands softly to stop them from rambling. I look at them with a smile and nod.

“I trust you, Bunny,” I say. “I want you to show me how good I make you feel, okay?”

“Okay,” they say with a smile that could cure all the world’s problems. “Lie back, baby, and let me do all the work. If anything feels uncomfortable, tell me and I’ll stop immediately. Okay?”

“Okay,” I nod, lying back against the pillows like they instructed.

I felt like time slowed down as they helped me undress.

I slowly succumbed to the feeling of having their hands all over my skin, followed closely by their lips.

I gasped and moaned like never before, and it was all because of the pleasure Denny was bringing me.

The more I let go, the better it felt until they were between my legs.

I jumped when I felt their tongue swipe across my clit, but they told me to relax, that they had me. That I was safe. So, I did, because I knew that I was.

“Oh, shit,” I groaned as they took their time. “Fuck, Bunny...”

“That’s right, baby. Let me know how it feels.

Talk to me,” they instructed, and something about the sultriness of their voice had my body tingling for more.

So, I lifted my hips a bit in an attempt to create more friction.

They chuckled, pulling back a bit. “Just like you need me to be vocal, I need the same from you, okay?”

“Yes, fuck, whatever you need,” I panted, and they finally took my clit into their mouth. I inhaled sharply. “Oooh.”

“You taste even better than I imagined,” Denny whispered as their mouth moved lower. I gasped as they began to feast on me like I was their favorite meal, and I was loving every second of it.

I was feeling so good that I saw stars and begged for more.

I married my fingers with their soft curls and tugged, but then pushed.

I thrust my hips up to their hungry and waiting mouth.

I squirmed and wiggled, and I shook. I shook so violently that I knew that there would be no way I would ever forget this feeling.

I knew that this wouldn’t be the last time that I wanted to experience this.

“There you go, my love,” Denny coaxed as they kissed my thighs softly, helping me come down from the clouds. My breathing was shaky, and I felt like I was in another world as I gazed at them. “How was that? I didn’t hurt you, did I? I wasn’t too rough?”

I shake my head, reaching out to pull them up and into my arms. Once my lips pressed against theirs, they melted into my arms, welcoming the affection. I hoped they felt my love and appreciation in the kiss, but I didn’t have to wonder long when they pulled back a bit and smiled at me.

“Thank you, Bunny,” I said, stroking their cheek softly. “That was...amazing.”

“Thank you for trusting me with your body,” they replied. “It means more than you know.”

“ You mean more than you know to me,” I assure them. “I’ve always trusted you, but thank you for being so patient with me.” I pause and then wait for me to continue. “Can you...do it again?”

Their face lights up and they nod enthusiastically, telling me that they got me whenever. I chuckled, preparing myself for another round of pleasure, which I returned not long after.

And as I lay there later that night, being the little spoon for once, I thought about how at peace I was. Change was scary as hell, but I had Denny right here with me, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. Honestly, I didn’t want anything more—only them.
