upsetting people lately.
Austin hesitated. The frown on his face was genuine confusion.
What could you possibly do to upset anybody?
Gage snorted. Oh, you know, little things like announce I m
gay and that I think the church is a cult.
You re what? Really? He would have sworn Austin sounded
excited about the new information, definitely not the usual reaction
he d been getting from everyone this week. You re not just saying
that?
No, I really am. Gage frowned. Why?
Some of the tension that had been winding visibly in Austin s
body disappeared with his sudden laughter. Shaking his head, he
ventured back to the couch, this time opting to sit next to him. I
can t believe you never figured it out. Everybody else seemed to. I
got enough hell for it. But maybe that s what always made you
special. You didn t care about any of that crap. You judged a
person because of who they were, not who they wanted to date.
Gage joined him on the couch. I never realized. Not that I
would have judged you. But I& I guess I m not very observant.
I guess not. He lifted his eyes to Gage s, bright and intense

again. I ve crushed on you almost as long as I ve known you. But
you never saw that, either, did you?
No. Suddenly all the loneliness he lived with for so many
years hit him. It was like a hard fist to the stomach. Knowing that
he didn t have to be alone for so long only sharpened the blow. I
wish I had, though.
The weight of Austin s hand on his knee was almost
nonexistent, but it remained there even when Gage looked down at
it, his long, slender fingers curved over the joint. I m glad you
came to the W tonight, Austin said. And I m glad I could help
you forget about your shitty day. Even if it was only for a little
while.
Gage looked at the hand on his knee for what felt like an
eternity. Maybe I should go. It s been& He swallowed, knowing
he was right, but unable to push Austin away. A long day.
So you can go wherever it was you didn t want to be? You
don t have to do that. You can stay here. Austin squeezed once.
Come on, Gage. Where else are you gonna go?
The question undid him. Where could he go? Not home. That
was over seven hundred miles away. Not back to the hotel. There
would be nothing there but the reminder of Christopher s absence.
He was so tired. Exhausted to his core. It was surprisingly easy to
say, Yeah, I ll stay.
Austin smiled, a warm welcome that felt better knowing Austin
actually understood. Wait here. I ll go get you a blanket and a
pillow.
He stood abruptly and rushed down the darkened hallway.
Gage slumped against the cushions, leaning his head back and
closing his eyes. He heard a door open and close, then footsteps
whisper back into the room.

LEO: ALL THAT YOU ARE
You didn t fall asleep on me already, did you?
Gage opened his eyes, but didn t lift his head. Austin stood
close enough to let his leg touch Gage s knee. Course not. I m
wide awake.
Austin tossed the bedding aside, then knelt on the cushion next
to Gage. Did you want to play some more? Or we could watch a
movie. Whatever you want.
A movie sounds good. Something mindless and funny.
He was up again, moving from shelf to entertainment center to
the coffee table for the remote and back to the TV. Gage didn t
remember Austin being this hyper before, but maybe it was a side
effect of the show. He was always amped after a gig.
When Austin came back, chattering about the movie he d
picked, he sat even closer. The heat of his thigh bled into Gage s,
but he didn t try to edge away, didn t make any excuses for the
contact. He just smiled and hit play on the remote, his hand resting
half on his leg, half on Gage s.
Austin had put in a movie called The Great Buck Howard.
Gage had been a little skeptical at first, but within five minutes he
realized what a great choice it d been. It was a movie that required
very little of him, and allowed his mind to drift to other things.
Like how hot Austin s hand felt on his thigh. He found himself
relaxing into the slight contact, soothed by the steady warmth.
At some point, Austin started massaging, small circles at first,
then when Gage didn t protest, longer sweeps. More than once, his
knuckles brushed against Gage s balls, but it was always fleeting,
never anything that couldn t be explained away as accidental.
Gage& His hot breath tickled too close to Gage s ear. I m
glad you re staying.
His groin felt tight, his cock twitching every time Austin s

hand brushed across his crotch. He closed his eyes, but he couldn t
ignore it, or the way Austin s mouth skimmed over his ear. His
throat clenched and his head felt fuzz, like it was full of cotton.
Austin& We shouldn t and we can t both danced on the tip
of his tongue. But he turned his head, and instead of actually
saying any of those things, he let Austin catch his mouth in a light,
tentative kiss.
It was almost chaste, no tongue, barely parted lips. Austin
wasn t breathing anymore, at least not that Gage could feel or hear,
and his hand had stopped, settling over the growing bulge of
Gage s erection. He squeezed once, and Gage shivered at the
contact, breaking whatever spell had been holding Austin back.
Let me, Austin whispered against his mouth. His fingers slid
upward, found the button on the fly, and popped it open.
Gage s breath caught and the battle waging inside of him only
intensified. He needed to push Austin away, but his callused,
curious fingers felt so good when the pads slid over his slick
crown. His chest hitched when Austin did it again, and by the time
those fingers closed around his shaft, he ached for more. Without
thinking, he cupped the back of Austin s head and smashed their
mouths together, pushing his tongue past Austin s dry lips.
Austin whimpered. The kiss was a little clumsy, but he opened
to Gage eagerly, and his hand tightened on Gage s cock. He
stroked up, over the head, rubbing the pre-come into his palm
before going down again, shoving the jeans out of his way to better
reach Gage s balls. The friction seared a path straight into Gage s
veins, fire stoked even higher by the blissful sounds Austin kept
making.
Gage managed to unzip Austin s pants, his hand seeking out
Austin s cock. His shaft was hot and throbbing, and Gage
127
LEO: ALL THAT YOU ARE
wondered if anybody had ever touched Austin like that. He
moaned, jerking his hips as Gage flexed his fingers, and his arm
went around Austin s back to pull him closer. In the back of his
mind, he still heard a voice telling him he should stop, that this
wasn t a good idea. But it was difficult to pay attention to anything
beyond the roar in his head and the sharp, burning threads of
pleasure wrapping around him.
Austin gasped. The next moment, his body stiffened, the hand
curled around Gage s cock locked beneath the head. Gage didn t
stop, and the thick vein running the length of Austin s shaft pulsed
in time with the blasts of warm come spilling over his fingers.
Austin only paused for a moment, though, attacking Gage s mouth
with fresh hunger before he was done, his pulls at Gage s lengths
harder and more deliberate.
Gage thrust his hips in time with Austin s fist, too far gone to
care about anything except coming. His desire was like a thick fog,
temporarily obscuring everything else. He didn t think about his
parents or his brothers. He didn t think about the Roxy Room or
music. He didn t think about Christopher. He just pumped his cock
against Austin s palm, losing himself in Austin s eager, if
inexperienced, kisses. He wasn t sure just how much time passed
before his balls tightened and he moaned into Austin s mouth, his [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
