Need Your Love

After a few blissful moments, Garrett opened his eyes and turned around. “Your turn.”


He pulled Eron around under the showerhead to rinse away the lather that Eron had built up. Once repositioned, Garrett started down Eron’s front. Eron stood firm against him and Garrett returned the resistance. Garrett continued to work his way down Eron’s torso.


Eron opened his eyes. “Go ahead.” He smiled at Garrett.


When Garrett still hesitated, Eron took Garrett’s hands in his and guided them toward his member. Neither the shower nor Garrett’s hands made him completely hard, but both felt good.


After a few minutes, Eron pulled away from Garrett’s grip and drew Garrett into his arms. He cupped Garrett’s cheek and turned his face toward his own lips. “I wish I didn’t have to go out with Mary Ellen tonight. I’d rather stay here with you.”
