Page 54 of A Shared Mind

“Well, I’ve heard that a lot of people do terrible things for love, but Ramon seemed to regard Sonny as a brother. If Sonny felt the same about him, he wouldn’t have killed Ramon. It’s gotta suck falling for your best friend’s girl, but it doesn’t seem as though Sonny would let that come between the two of them.

“Now, killing someone because of greed makes perfect sense. It happens all the time. Ramon was right when he decided it was someone in his own crew. I kinda don’t want to find out who pulled the trigger. I just want to find out how Ramon was as a person. I know he wants to know the shooter, but if it’s Sonny, then I don’t want to tell him.”

I kissed Justin because he truly was a good soul. “I love you. Now, let’s wash up.” We quickly suds up and rinsed off before I pressed Justin to the tiled wall and hitched his left leg over my hip. “Keep that there for me, will you?”

“I’m not moving anything.” He looked half-drunk as he said it, which made me grin.

I reached for the lube and opened it, squeezing some into my palm and then smearing it into his crack to get him good and slick.

Circling my middle finger around his entrance, I gave him a passionate kiss. My cock was raring to go for sure. “It’s going to be hard to go slow with you, but I will, I promise.”

“You don’t have to go slow, sweetheart. I want you so much I’m about to come just from your finger. I can’t wait to get you inside me.”

“Oh, god, Justin, that makes two of us. I love you.”

I held out my hand again to squeeze more lube into it before I put the lube back on the ledge. I moved to push two fingers inside him and gently scissored them to stretch his hole so I could get the third finger inside. I pushed up and slid my finger inside him until he groaned. “Right there. Yeah, more.”

His voice was needy and a huge turn on. I continued to massage his prostate until I felt his cock jerk between us. I glanced down to see precome dribbling from his slit. I wanted to lick it off.

Finally, at the end of my patience, I removed my fingers and lowered his leg. “Let’s take this to the bed before one of us falls and breaks something like you mentioned earlier.”

Justin giggled as he opened the shower door and pulled towels from the stack for each of us. I dried off as though I was participating in a timed event and hung the towel over the door to dry and grabbed the lube from the ledge.

Turning to him, I grinned. “I’ll go warm up the bed.”

He smiled as he blushed, which reminded me to go slow because it was his first time. “Thank you.”

While I waited for him, I pulled down the spread and blanket. A few minutes later, the shower turned on again, and when he came out of the bathroom, I saw the blush still staining his cheeks. It was adorable.

I sat against the headboard as he climbed onto the bed and knelt next to me. I could feel the trepidation in the air. “You okay?”

After a quick nod, he said, “I don’t want to disappoint you.”

I pulled him closer and lifted his right leg over my hip until he was seated on my pelvis. “You have nothing to worry about, Justin. You’ve liked everything we’ve done so far, right?”

His eager nod was cute.

“Then you have nothing to worry about. Do you wanna ride me so you can control how far and how fast you want me inside you, or do you want to be on your back. I’m fine with either one, as long as I can kiss you.”

He thought for a minute before he kissed the tip of my nose. “I’d like to be on top.”

I moved into position on the bed, grabbing the lube and slicking up. I held my length up for him before smirking. “Cowboy up, darlin’.”

Justin giggled as he shimmied into position and planted his hands on my chest. “I’m not sure what that means. I’ve never been on a horse.”

Trying not to laugh, I tapped the head of my dick against his taint. “You’re getting ready to ride a grade-A stud right now.”

He laughed so hard he collapsed on my chest. Hell, that was fine. In all my sexual encounters, I’d never laughed so much as I had with Justin. I don’t mean I didn’t enjoy myself, but with Justin, it was a whole different ball game filled with love and joy.

I wrapped him in my arms and the two of us kept chuckling for a few minutes. Justin got up on his hands and knees and gazed into my eyes. “I love you more than I thought I’d ever be able to love anyone. I’ve put you on a pedestal so high that if you fall off, you’ll break your neck.”

I scooted to lean against the headboard so we were at eye level. “Come ‘ere and let’s talk for a second.” I pulled him closer so he was sitting on my thighs and I placed my palms on his jaw line. “I don’t deserve a pedestal. I’m not perfect, Justin. I’m going to piss you off or disappoint you from time to time, I can promise you. My hope and prayer is that you’ll love me enough to give me a second chance to make things up to you. I promise I won’t have to learn whatever the lesson is twice.”

I pulled him closer and brushed my lips over his, trying to show him all the love I had for him in my heart. It was damn quick to fall so hard, I’d admit, but when I met Justin, my heart knew what it wanted.

“And I promise the same to you,” Justin whispered. It was as though we’d made a sacred vow, and I wanted a moment to hold him and let the words sink into my heart where I would hold them forever.

“I love you.” My erection had lost a little steam, but with Justin in my arms, the pleasure was starting to build again. I grabbed the lube and flipped the cap, squeezing some into my right palm and closing it to warm a bit before sliding it down the trench and into his hole. He was still loose, which was good.
