Spar

As soon as Tyler managed to get the door unlocked and opened, Jaime pushed him inside and up against the hallway wall. Jaime closed the door behind them with a carefully placed side kick then pushed his hips against Tyler’s. Even through the layers of fabric they both wore, Tyler felt the contours of Jaime’shard-on. The contact was so intimate.


Jaime had snuggled up to dozens of erections and yet this felt like the first time he’d let a guy grope him behind the high school bleachers. Jaime checked to make sure Tyler was feeling groovy before he ground his hips against Tyler’s. He had to put his hands on the wall on either side of Tyler’s head to keep from pulling him into a kiss. Jaime bit his lower lip to keep himself in check. The last thing he wanted to do was freak the guy out by making things weird. He had to keep this purely physical.


“So how do you propose we settle the score?” Jaime asked. His hips traced circles around Tyler’s erection.
