Chapter 8

As he laid there, aware of Jimmy’s breathing and the pressure of Jimmy’s aroused condition against him, Henry considered what his aspirations were, should things develop between him and his former student—certainly not just sex. Henry had never been into that scene. He’d had one serious relationship, Jeremy, and that would be what he’d hope for with Jimmy, as well.

However, was it even advisable? There was the age difference to consider. Jimmy had said he’d taken Henry’s class ten years ago as a freshman. If he’d started college directly after high school, it would mean he would’ve been eighteen or nineteen at the time. That would make him twenty-eight or twenty-nine now.

Jimmy had taken the class during Henry’s first year of teaching. Henry was twenty-six then, thirty-six now. Six or seven years—that wasn’t all that big a gap in age. Certainly not a May/December sort of thing.
