Monday morning found Parker's nerves about to bubble over.
Was Colton really going to pick him up for school? Thinking back, it seemed like a faraway dream. Colton seemed to have done a complete one-eighty. The hunk didn't even know Parker existed, then he moved in on Parker, only to pull away. And now... now he was all possessive and aggressive.
It might have creeped Parker out if he wasn't completely and utterly turned on by it.
He had practically locked himself in his bedroom all weekend. A blush crept up his cheeks as he thought about how many times he had smelled Colton's shirt. Not to mention how many times he had worked his dick until it was practically raw while remembering the way Colton touched him and kissed him.
Parker took one last look at himself in the mirror, checking out the outfit that Shell picked out for him. Satisfied, he grabbed his backpack and gym bag, shut his bedroom door and bounded down the stairs.
"Mom?" he called out. "Dad?"
He didn't expect an answer, but when the doorbell rang instead, it startled him enough that he jumped.
Parker opened the front door to find Colton Butler standing there. Colton Butler! At his house! To see him! Oh man, he looked like a god dressed in his blue and white FVHS letter jacket, tight denim jeans and boots.
"Hi," Parker said. He bit his bottom lip to keep from sighing dreamily. He still couldn't believe that Colton was here.
"Hey, pup." Colton stepped inside the house and shut the door behind him. "Your parents around?"
"No, they're already at work."
"Good."
Colton grabbed Parker by the shirt, yanked him close and then kissed him senseless. He worked his way down the left side of Parker's neck, then pulled the shirt collar aside and sucked hard on Parker's neck, darkening the fading mark. He sucked and bit at the curve of tender flesh and rubbed his bearded chin across the mark.
Parker let out a quiet whimper and grabbed onto Colton's hard body, his fingers digging into the arms of the larger boy's jacket as his knees buckled.
Colton groaned as he nipped his teeth along Parker's neck. "Damn. You taste so good."
"You didn't shave," Parker whispered. Colton's goatee scraped along Parker's skin, making him shudder with need.
Colton stopped what he was doing. "Is it bothering you?"
"God no," Parker moaned as his head rolled back, giving Colton more access.
"Good, because my beard grows fast and I always have stubble."
Colton continued kissing up and down Parker's neck. When Colton finally stepped back, Parker opened his eyes to see Colton's smug grin. Colton rubbed his thumb over the base of Parker's neck, seemingly pleased with himself.
Parker blinked. "It's warm in here," he muttered as he wiped his forehead.
Colton gave Parker one more quick kiss before picking up Parker's backpack and gym bag. "Let's go, pup."
Parker locked the door behind them while Colton tossed his bags into the wide back seat of his car. Parker jogged up behind Colton and grinned at the sexy man.
"Why do you keep calling me 'pup'?"
Colton chuckled. "Because you're cute and eager to please. Just like a puppy."
"Oh." Parker ducked his head, trying to hide the blush that was creeping up his face. The nickname was all kinds of embarrassing, but Parker decided that he liked that Colton called him 'pup'. He liked it a lot. "That's okay, I guess."
"Glad you approve," said Colton with a smirk.
Parker had the strong feeling that Colton would have kept calling him 'pup' whether or not Parker approved.
"Hi guys!"
Parker groaned and turned around at the sound of his friend's sing-songy voice. Shell was bouncing down her front steps, waving her fingers. The scheming smile on her face was enough to make Parker very nervous.
"Hi, Shell."
"Hey," Colton said.
"See you at school," Parker said before he quickly got into Colton's car, hoping to save himself from any potential embarrassment at the hands of his best friend.
Colton pulled into the parking lot, taking one of the parking spaces that was miraculously empty at front and center. Parker wondered if people purposely left it open for him. He wouldn't be surprised.
Parker got out of the car and grabbed his bags from the back seat. "Thanks for the ride, Colton. Um... so I guess I will see you later... maybe? If you want... I mean... Um..."
Parker wanted to crawl under a rock and die. God, he was such a dork.
Colton pulled his phone from his jacket pocket and looked at the screen. "We got plenty of time. Relax a little. C'mere."
Parker moved around to the other side of the car where Colton was leaning.
"Have you ever had a boyfriend before?" Colton asked.
"No. Have you?"
"Not until now," he replied. He pulled Parker close and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
Parker blushed and glanced around. He couldn't believe that Colton just kissed him in the school parking lot. The public display of affection was so inappropriate, but Parker would never deny a chance to kiss the hunky man.
Colton pulled Parker to his side and leaned back against his car. He appeared to be casual and relaxed, but somehow Parker could tell that Colton was on high alert, taking in his surroundings. Was he worried about being seen with Parker? No, that wasn't it. If that was the case, he wouldn't have kissed Parker.
A loud pickup truck pulled into the empty space next to Colton's Lincoln. Jed shut the monster truck's rumbling engine off and hopped out. He spit onto the ground as he rounded the truck to join Colton and Parker. "Hey, bub," he said to Colton. He adjusted the backwards ball cap on his head as he looked between Colton and Parker. "I miss something?"
Colton put his arm around Parker's shoulders. "Yup. Parker agreed to let me be his boyfriend."
Parker smiled. Like he had much of a choice. "I don't think Colton would have taken 'no' for an answer."
"I get what I want," Colton said, puffing up his chest.
Jed chuckled. "Good for you, man," he said with a nod of his head.
A silver sports car pulled into the spot on the other side of Colton's car. Trey got out and grabbed his backpack. He walked over and said 'hey' to Colton and Jed, holding out his fist for each to tap. When he held out his fist to Parker, the smaller boy mimicked the others and tapped Trey's fist, feeling like a total dork, but desperately wanting to fit in with Colton and his friends.
One of the varsity soccer players walked past and caught Jed's eye. Jed leaned against his truck and casually cupped his crotch. "Hey, bud," Jed called out to him, his voice low and growly.
"Hey, Jed," he mumbled. His face turned red and he picked up his pace. Jed massaged his crotch as he stared at his retreating ass. He clicked his tongue, and muttered to himself, "That's some good ass right there. Gotta hit that again."
Parker had to pick his jaw up off the ground. He couldn't believe that Jed was acting so... open. But then again, he had just kissed Colton. Even if it was a quick peck and no one had seen them.
A pair of cheerleaders walked past. "Hey, Trey," they said at the same time before giggling.
Trey nodded with a lift of his chin and winked, flashing them a dazzling smile. "Good morning, ladies."
