ELEVEN

JORDAN (JJ)

S itting in the library, my phone buzzed in my backpack. I slid it out and looked at it.

Harry

Where are you? Can we talk?

What the hell was this about? Was he having second thoughts about us? I scrubbed my face and said under my breath, “Fuck.” I tapped my phone.

JJ

I’m at the library getting some studying done before my next class.

The three dots popped up and flickered. He’d been fine this morning at practice. What could have happened since then?

Harry

Meet me at the entrance.

Whatever this was, it was urgent. Damn it.

I rubbed my brow and stood, my chest squeezing.

Would he break it off? I ruminated on our conversation this morning.

Maybe he didn’t like what I’d been telling the guys.

But they didn’t know it was him I was talking about.

With a huff, I slid my laptop into my bag and zipped it.

Whatever this was, I had to confront it.

Knowing he wanted to end it now was better than later, when my heart was thoroughly on board.

I strode through the stacks, down a few flights of stairs and to the new library entrance with glass doors covered in wavy metal awnings. How long would it take Holden to arrive?

Tapping my foot, I fixated on the large double doors, nausea balling in my gut. This would hurt. I had already invested too much in this fucking relationship. I should have known better.

Holden strolled through the doors, his athletic shirt pulling tight across his shoulders and his joggers low on his hips. As his gaze found mine, a slow smile spread over his mouth. “Hey.” Scanning the place, he bit his lip. “Can we go somewhere private?”

“Sure.” So you can break up with me? I guided him back up the stairs and into the library’s quiet back corner, surrounded only by books.

Few people came up here anymore, and the books should muffle our conversation…

and me crying when this was over. I leaned against a wall and set my backpack on the floor, the particles of dust catching the light around Holden’s head. “What’s up?”

He flinched. “I need to tell you something.” He slapped his hand on the wall behind me, leaning in, his eyes darkening, his lips brushing mine. “But I want to kiss you first.” Slipping his backpack down his arm, he claimed me in a searing kiss, his chest pushing me into the wall and then his hips.

Was it a goodbye kiss? I closed my eyes as they pricked with heat and snuck my tongue inside his mouth, gliding it along his.

Slanting his mouth over mine, he thrust his hardening cock against me and released a soft moan, cupping my cheek.

So, a goodbye…something? I pushed his chest, shoving him off me, and took deep breaths. “What’s going on, Holden? If you want to end it, just do it.” My voice cracked as my heart broke in two .

“What?” He stared at me, his gaze darting across my face. “I’m not here to end anything. I wanted you to know I told Eli about us.”

My brows pushed up. “Y-you did?” I bit my upper lip as a smile broke out on my face. “Fuck, Holden. Never send a cryptic text like that again.” I whacked his chest.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t think you’d take it like that.

” He nipped at my lower lip, pressing his solid cock into mine.

“I needed someone to talk to about us, someone queer, who wasn’t you.

Turns out, I picked the right guy.” He nuzzled my neck.

“God, you smell good.” He sniffed and nibbled my neck, slipping his hands under my shirt and upward.

Shivers played over my skin, and my dick swelled against his. I’d been so wrong. Maybe the situation with Myles had fucked with my head. Wrapping my arms around him, I bit at his earlobe and rutted against him.

In my ear, he whispered, “I want to come out to your friends.” He slipped his hand between us and pushed the band of my joggers and underwear down.

“I want the next time we’re together to be in bed.

” He freed my aching cock and stroked it.

“I want everyone to know you’re mine.” He dropped to his knees.

“Fuck…” As my hard cock bobbed in front of his mouth, tension coiled in my gut. Would he blow me right here? I peered toward the end of the aisle. It was deserted, and classes would be in session right now. “Holden, what are you doing?”

“I’m taking what’s mine.” Fisting the base, he plunged his mouth over my dick and sucked it to the back of his throat.

As pleasure shot through my body, I bit the fleshy part of my thumb, stifling a moan. Holy fuck, what had Eli told him? I’d have to thank him later. I threaded my fingers through his hair and tugged, rocking my hips, fucking his wet, hot mouth.

He pumped me while fondling my balls and licked at the head of my dick.

This wasn’t the careful blowjob he’d given me in the car. This was a full-on assault. As sensation swirled up my spine, my knees buckled. My climax raged to the edge. “C-coming, Holden.”

He sucked me in deeper, pulling on my heavy balls and circling my glans with his tongue. As he moaned on my cock, the vibration jolted through me.

I spilled, my cum erupting into him as pleasure sparked every nerve ending, curling my toes in my sneakers. Biting my lower lip, I fought to keep quiet.

As it slowed, he slipped off me, licked his lips and rose, his eyes wild and dark. “JJ, I need it.” He rested his forehead on mine, palming his swollen cock through his joggers.

With a nod, I flipped the band of my joggers and briefs over my waning dick and then twisted him around, pushing his back on the wall. “I’ll give you anything you need, baby.” I brushed my palm against his dick, and it twitched.

He hissed, and his body shuddered. “Fuck, JJ, I’m so close already. Getting you off almost made me come.”

This would be quick then. With a smirk, I dropped to my knees and worked his cock out, pulling his joggers and briefs down. I could play a little, though. Tipping my head, I watched him as I licked his cockhead, flicking into the slit.

In a guttural whisper, he said, “Oh, fuck.” His dick pulsed and leaked onto my tongue.

I swooned as I tasted his salty precum. Dropping my mouth over him, I pumped the base of his dick with my fist and sucked his crown in a relentless rhythm. How fast could I make him come?

His mouth fell open and his brows tensed, his cock swelling further against my tongue.

Through his teeth, he said, “Fuck, gonna…Oh God.” His dick pulsed in my mouth and his balls unloaded a flood of cum down my throat.

I lapped and swallowed it all, my dick stirring again. With a slurp, I left his dick. I had to quit being so negative. This man wanted to give me everything. I tucked him inside his underwear and raised the band over his waning dick.

Grabbing my armpits, he lifted me to standing. “We have to talk logistics.” A lazy grin played over his mouth. “After my head clears.” He hooked his arms around my shoulders, pulled me against his chest and kissed my head. “I’m going all in here, JJ. I worked out a plan with Eli.”

“You did, huh?” I leaned against him, my cheek on his shoulder, his warmth and strength settling in my gut. Good ole Eli. “And what does this plan entail?”

“I want to come clean with your friends about what happened with us. And then, I’ll talk to my roommate and let him know.” He skimmed a hand across my back. “And finally, I’ll talk to my parents.”

“You’re…you’re coming out? Officially?” I lifted my head and focused on him. “What about the team? The coaches?”

“Yeah, I guess that’ll happen eventually, but I want to prioritize the most important people first.” He pressed a soft kiss on my mouth.

“I’m serious about you, about us. I’ve never felt so strongly for someone so quickly before.

” He swallowed. “Eli told me you don’t have sex with guys unless there are feelings involved.

” His gaze dropped to my lips and came back.

“So, obviously, you’re feeling the same way I am. ”

As the corner of my lips curled, I said, “Yeah, I’m uh…” Shit, could I say it? But look at what he did for me. “I’m falling for you, Holden Cox.”

He rubbed his nose against mine. “I’m falling for you, Jordan Matthews.” Winding his arms tightly around me, he buried his face in my neck. “How the hell did you do this to me?”

“I’m irresistible, remember?” Warmth bloomed in my chest, spreading to all my limbs. Could he be the one for me? Had I found my forever? It sure as hell felt different from anything I’d ever experienced.

“I’d have to agree with you.” He released me, and his gaze met mine. “How do you plan to tell your friends and when? ”

“As soon as possible, and let’s do it together.” I gave him a coy grin. “The sooner we do this, the sooner we have access to my bed.” One track mind? Maybe. I couldn’t wait to take our relationship to the next level. To have all of him.

“Okay, I’ll leave it up to you to arrange.” With a long sigh, he dropped his arms. “I have a class to go to.”

“Oh.” I stepped back and threw my backpack over a shoulder. “I do too. But I’ll call a house meeting and let you know.” I raked my fingers through my hair. Would I look like I’d just had a quickie when I left? I might check in the bathroom before leaving.

“Just so you know, I swore Eli to secrecy.” He slipped his backpack onto his shoulder. “But I’ll text him when I get to class and let him know I spoke to you.”

“Okay, sounds good.” Grabbing his hand, I led him from the stacks. It was a little sad seeing all these books alone on the top floor of the building, but with eBooks and the internet, they weren’t needed as much anymore.

We strolled down the stairs, and I freed Holden’s hand. He wasn’t out to the entire school yet. But soon. “See you later.”

“See you.” With a quick look around, he pecked my cheek. “Can’t wait to do that all the time.”

“Me too.” A soft giggle escaped me. “Bye, babe.” I’d been calling him that from the very beginning, and now it was truly genuine.
