The Sparkle that Killed My Loneliness, Deb Weber [good summer reads .txt] 📗

arms and hands brushed against me. I wasn’t so sure if it was because of the crowded space or if he was doing it intentionally. Nevertheless, I turned red like a strawberry every single time. The touch of him – even if he didn’t do it on purpose – wasn’t something I could grow accustomed to. I bought him quite a few drinks and he did the same for me. We were like an old ship crew that knew exactly how to treat and react to the other one.

All too soon, people were beginning to leave. I felt it too; the night in this club was coming to an end. However, I didn’t want it to stop just yet. I didn’t want to return to my lonely home, not when Reece was standing right next to me. I was already thinking about what to say to Reece. How could I convince him to move on to another location? Someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around and found myself staring right in Reece’s beautiful face.

“Jay… The club’s closing soon. But I had a lot of fun with you tonight, so why not let the evening fade away quietly at your place?” Wait a minute. Had I heard that right?

 

Chapter Five

All I was able to manage was to stare at him. The words that were forming in my head wouldn’t transfer to my mouth. Thank god it wasn’t hanging open. I started stammering.

Reece was beginning to feel uneasy, I could clearly see it. His eyes were darting across the room and it was obvious that his mind was looking for a nonchalant excuse. Before all of his courage left him, I finally spoke up.

“Um, I… would love to, yeah. Let’s go to my place, then…” True, it wasn’t very intelligent, but hey, I was proud it at least made sense.

Reece’s smile returned slowly and he inclined his head slightly. We left the club and avoided eye contact on the subway ride. Had I scared him off? Why weren’t we talking? Awful thoughts invaded my brain. Pictures and small film scenes of Reece telling me he wasn’t swinging “my” way and him leaving… What was I supposed to do now? I stole quick glances at him, but startled away when I realized he was doing the same. My hands were sweaty; my pulse was going too fast. I tried to distract myself with studying the other people in the subway train, but that was getting boring five seconds after I started.

The doors opening at the station near my apartment was one of the happiest moments I’d been granted in the last few years. That probably sounds exaggerated, but the tension that had built up during our ride had been becoming unbearable. I waved a hand at Reece and he hurried after me, seemingly as relieved as I was. We stomped to my apartment. Before I opened the door with the key, I breathed in deeply and turned to him, “So, Reece, welcome to my home. Please don’t be too disappointed.” He reassured me he would never be disappointed and entered after my humble self.

He took in the looks of my apartment and made some grunting noises. I showed him every room and handed him a glass of water as I sat down on the couch. Reece was still standing and after a moment’s hesitation, he seated himself right next to me. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. My breathing became hitched. I slowly turned my head in his direction and once again admired his neat features. Reece’s gaze locked on mine. Was this the alcohol’s fault? Oh my god, was it possible I was drunk as hell and only imaging this? Or were we both boozed up enough to get all sexy?

But then Reece assured me that it was all real by saying, “Jay, I don’t know… how I should start this. Ah damn, I’ve already ruined it. Sorry.” He smiled apologetically. I shook my head until everything became fuzzy.

“No, no, no! Please try to tell me. I’ll listen… Uh, go ahead.”

Reece cleared his throat and spoke in a very confident tone that I was used to hearing from him.

“Jay, I can’t say you were special to me from the beginning. At Ashley’s party, I only saw an opportunity to leave that place in you. Well, maybe I also saw a nice enough guy and a possible friend. When we hung out afterwards, I realized you were really okay. I liked hanging out with you. I thought I had found another mate and was already planning to get you in my circle. Let me explain. I’ve always dated and loved women… So when I saw you again today and your awesomeness, cuteness and uniqueness struck me hard, I was so confused. What was happening – or in that matter, is right now happening to me? Do I love a guy?” He looked me straight in the eyes. “Yes, I do”, he stated.

I was baffled. His courage and confidence were unbelievable. I couldn’t get a word out. Today was not my best rhetorical day. So instead of taking another useless attempt at answering him, I leaned forward and pressed my lips firmly against his.

 

********************************************************

His eyes widened and he tightened up against my body. But his shock didn’t last long. The self-confident Reece returned within seconds. I felt his tongue push against my lips. I felt my cheeks blush and opened my mouth a little. Our tongues met for the first time, feeling each other and fighting for dominance. In the end, I let him claim it. My body felt very hot.

Reece’s hands were all over me. They gripped at my back, softly stroked my hair and caressed my thighs. I was getting turned on. Small moans escaped my trembling lips. Reece pressed me down on the couch and kept me pinned there. He fumbled with my clothes and I started to unbutton his trousers. He chuckled and helped threw my clothes on the floor; I followed shortly after with his own. His left hand touched my groin only lightly, and I bucked my hips upward.

“What a nice reaction… My god, I want you so bad, Jay.”

I groaned in approval and rubbed my groin against his legs. My cock was already half-erected. He grabbed me and started pumping it. I pushed my body up and captured his mouth in a very wet kiss. Salvia drooled down between us. The sight of it must have heated Reece up, because his dick instantly sprung to life.

“R-r-eece... Stop! Please… you’ll make me cum!”

He smirked devilishly but let go of my penis. I was leaking pre-cum like crazy. Panting hard, I just lay there for a few moments. Without warning, I felt something hot, steamy and wet around my dick. I didn’t even need to look to know it was Reece giving me a blowjob. I arched my back at the sensation and lost all sense of rationalism.

“Noo! What are you doiiiiing... This will… ah! mmhh! make me cum even faster! Reece! Ah!”

I felt his tongue slide my shaft up and down, circling on my head and licking the tip. My mind burst into tiny little pieces. I cried out and sucked in big gulps of air. Reece’s hand joined his mouth. The tension in my balls built up. It was already too late to stop it. With an ear-shattering scream, I bit into my hand and came. Cum spurted out of my dick right into his welcoming throat. It was too much for me. I aggressively thrust into his mouth and made him gag while the last of my hot semen flowed inside his body. With a pop I withdrew my soft cock. Sperm dribbled out of the corners of his mouth. Reece tried to swallow what was left. When I sat down again, he walked over, opened my mouth and spit my cum inside. It tasted bitter but got my dick rock hard again.

“Hey, what was that? I didn’t even touch you yet and you make me shoot my load this early…”

Reece looked at me with lust-filled eyes. I stopped talking and gripped his cock hard, smiling evilly at him. My fingers slowly stroked him and I felt him twitch in anticipation. He let out moans that made me really happy. Pre-cum ran down his shaft and stained my hand. I held my fingers to my mouth and sucked them. I squeezed his cock and he bucked wildly into my hand.

“Now now… You like this, don’t you? Horny little man.”

His voice rumbled in his chest and I moved my hand faster to bring him closer to the edge. Thick veins outlined his dick. Reece’s thighs were trembling. My mouth found a nipple and I bit at it. He hissed and I felt his balls tightening. A split second later his cum shot out of his beautiful penis. It landed on my arm and hand. I rubbed all of it over Reece’s chest and started sucking his cock to get it clean. After that, we just lay there boneless, still weak from our orgasms. I crawled over to Reece and soon fell asleep with my head on his manly and strong chest.

********************************************************

The feeling of the sun warming my face woke me up. I stirred and tried to remember where the hell I was. Ah, it was my own apartment. I looked down and realized I was stark naked. What… oh yeah. Reece and I had had a quite satisfying night. Thinking of the devil, where was he?

“Reece, man? You here?” No answer. Swearing, I got up and stretched my uptight muscles. I walked through my entire apartment (okay, since it’s not big it didn’t take long) but there was no sign of him. Had he just left sometime in the night? I checked my phone. Nothing. What the hell? Why hadn’t he written me a message? Was he too embarrassed about what had happened? But it had been his idea!

I was getting worried and nervous. What if there had been an accident in his family or something? There must be a reason he just disappeared. I had already dialed the first digits of his number when I stopped in my tracks and told myself to wait. Maybe he’d come back or call? I would look like a possessive girlfriend if I hysterically gave him a ring and demanded to know where he went. It wasn’t as if we were together…

The speed of the following hours that passed reminded me of a melting icicle. The minutes stretched and stretched and the second hand on the clock took forever to move. I sighed and debated with myself. To call or not to call, that was the question. After another ten minutes I decided against it.

Without thinking, I grabbed a jacket and left the middle of the city. I took the subway to the station close to the lake and sat down on a pier.

I stared out at the lake and found myself thinking deeply about what had happened in the last few days. It was incredible. The whole story with Reece was only days old. It seemed like weeks to me. Did I love him? What a stupid question. I obviously
