Always a Groomsman

“I won’t do it,” Gary said, crushing me. He shook his head, pressed his lips together, and added, “I think you’re a really good looking guy, and I know I hit on you every time you visit me, but…I have too much respect to fuck you, Cannon. There’s no way it would feel right having sex with you, even if I would enjoy it. I can’t and won’t, cross that line in our friendship. Tell me you understand.”


My mouth fell open with surprise. “You’re kidding me, right?”


“I’m not. Why would I kid about something like this?”


“Because kidding is what you do. You’re a tease, and I rather like when you tease me. Now I’m calling your bluff. I want your cock, Gary. How can I make myself anymore clear?”


“This is true. But that doesn’t mean I would kid about fucking you. A handjob is part of a massage. Fucking your nice ass isn’t.”


“Good to know,” I said. “So gear up and get this job done. We have an hour.”
