Kindle Notes & Highlights
Sweet Neil Patrick Harris, I’m fucked. Ollie looks like he’s going to throw up, and I’m kicking myself for not recognizing him sooner. I should’ve known he was a jock with the way I immediately wanted to climb him like a tree. If he really was waiting in the bathroom for a hookup, I wouldn’t have hesitated. Closeted meatheads are my kryptonite, and apparently, I don’t even need to know that fact anymore before being drawn to them.
After we settle in, dinner becomes a quiet affair, probably because it’s feeding time at Jurassic Park.
“Don’t sweat it. It’s not every day I have a hot guy’s hands on me.” The corners of his mouth tip up ever so slightly. The quick response is on the tip of my tongue. “That can’t be true. You’re hot.” Fuck, I shouldn’t be doing this. Why the fuck not? a little voice says. I think it’s coming from my dick.
The burn of staring follows me to the line at the bar, and I know exactly where it’s coming from. Ollie’s gaze is locked on me, as if trying to kill me with the Force. I’m tempted to fake choke, but I don’t want to make a fool of myself when no one will understand what I’m doing. This crowd doesn’t seem like the Star Wars type.
“You know who never has to point out they’re an adult? Actual adults.”
We kiss again, losing ourselves in a void between real and fake, but if I’m honest with myself, nothing has ever been fake with Lennon—not even that dinner at the Honey Bee. I might not have realized it at the time, but that dinner was a turning point. It gave me hope about moving on. From Ash, from the closet walls that are getting smaller and smaller every day to the point I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to endure the claustrophobia.
I’m legitimately beginning to worry that topping for the first time means he lost a severe amount of brain cells when he came. Sex makes you dumb, people.
“Even if Sports Illustrated is my dream job, you’re my actual dream. Giving us a real shot is what I want.”
