Unexpected Love

by J. O Mantel

  “No. It’s unnatural, well, I mean, I thought it was.”

  “Seriously? What about before you met Bree? Weren’t there any college boys that you found yourself curious over?”

  Hunter shook his head.

  “Wow! Okay, so how did you satisfy your needs?” Andy asked.

  “My needs? You’re asking me if I’ve ever masturbated?” Hunter said, making sure he’d understood the question.

  Andy did nothing except raise his eyebrows and that was when Hunter told him, “I can assure you that was never an issue.”

  “Uh huh, so you have jerked off before?”

  “I never said I hadn’t.”

  “Just not over a guy?” Andy inquired.

  Hunter remained silent, but Andy could see that he wasn’t uncomfortable at all, in fact, as his eyes wandered over Hunter’s body, he noticed the throbbing erection he was sporting through his briefs. Andy knew the reason they were in that hotel this weekend, and he realized that if either of them wanted answers, then he was going to have to initiate things.

  “You trust me, don’t you, Hunter?” Andy asked.

  “Yes, of course.”

  “Close your eyes,” Andy ordered.

  “What?”

  “Just close your eyes.”

  Hunter did as instructed, and when his eyes were closed, Andy stood from the bed, removed his boxers, and maneuvered himself in between Hunter’s knees. As he kneeled there, he took the opportunity to really analyze just how masculine Hunter was. He looked up to make sure his eyes were still closed, and he could see that the erection in Hunter’s briefs was thick and long. He gently brushed a hand along the inside of Hunter’s thigh, and a slight moan escaped Hunter’s lips.

  “Keep them closed,” Andy told him.

  He crawled a little closer between Hunter’s knees until their chests were almost touching. Raising his head, he angled it so it was level with his best friend’s, and leaning forward he pressed his mouth against the plump lips of the man he’d loved for so long.

  Hunter pulled back, his eyes flying open, but when the glaze in their eyes met, Andy threw him a reassuring smile. Hunter’s breathing staggered, and he pressed a palm to Andy’s chest.

  “It’s okay, we don’t have to do anything you don’t want to,” Andy assured him.

  Hunter’s breath lingered around his mouth as Andy released his arm and leaned in again for another kiss. As Andy’s soft lips grazed Hunter’s, he felt the kiss to be needy and urgent, as if they both wanted it and had waited an eternity for it to happen. Andy clasped the back of Hunter’s neck and tugged him forward for a deeper kiss. As Andy got to his feet, he lifted Hunter from the bed, but their lips never parted. Completely aware of what was going on, Hunter did absolutely nothing to stop Andy, but as the kiss got deeper, he pulled away, panting as he stared at Andy.

  “What’s wrong?”

  “Nothing, I … ah, I’m not exactly sure what I’m supposed to be feeling right now.”

  “What are you feeling?” Andy asked.

  “I don’t really know how to describe it ...” His words trailed off, but Andy looked down as his hard-on brushed against Hunter’s thigh.

  “I think your cock describes it,” Andy said.

  Hunter noticed his dick was stiff as a fucking board.

  “Just relax,” Andy continued. “Are you okay to keep going?”

  Hunter nodded in agreement, lightning and fire igniting deep in his loins. Andy lifted his hand and slid it behind Hunter’s neck, caressing his warm flesh as he tugged him forward and melded their lips together once more. Andy slid his tongue inside Hunter’s mouth, loving every inch of him, and there was no doubt he tasted fucking good. The hunger within them both boiled to the surface as each man moaned and groaned with contentment.

  “I want you,” Andy whispered.

  Hunter didn’t say a single word, instead he pressed their mouths together again, and this time he successfully slid his tongue between Andy’s lips. The kiss got rough, and Hunter tugged at Andy’s shirt, prompting him to lift his arms over his head and broke their kiss briefly. Andy allowed Hunter to remove the fabric hiding his luscious body, before tossing it somewhere on the floor. Hunter moaned and deepened the kiss, finally allowing himself to do what he’d been desiring for so long. This was the first time he’d been touched since Bree died, and he was ready to give in to every single pleasure that had been locked inside him for far too long. Their tongues tangled and Andy’s fingers got lost somewhere inside Hunter’s briefs. Andy broke the kiss apart so he could tug at Hunter’s neck before meeting his mouth again with a brutal kiss.

  “I love your mouth. I can’t stand not to touch you. Are you good with my hands on your body?” Andy asked, stroking his tender flesh.

  “Yeah, this is better than just fucking okay,” Hunter whispered, angling his head lower.

  Andy met his lips again and began sucking on Hunter’s tongue, his head tilted back as Andy kissed down his neck and then made his way back up to lick his earlobe. Taking his time, he slowly moved across Hunter’s jawline to meet his mouth and gently sucked on his lower lip. Their exposed chests rubbed against one another, and Andy’s fingers met the top of Hunter’s briefs. Gently, he slid them down Hunter’s thighs and to the floor. Hunter pulled their lips apart, and looking into Andy’s eyes, he said, “I guess this is the part where we rewrite the stars.”

  “Or when friends turn into lovers,” Andy continued.

  Hunter took a step backward and put his head down.

  “Hunter, what is it? Have I overstepped the line?”

  Raising his head, Hunter returned his gaze to Andy’s. “No, it’s just, that line, what you just said.”

  “What line?” Andy questioned.

  “When friends turn into lovers.”

  Andy gave him a questioning look as Hunter continued, “That line was from our wedding song.”

  “Oh, Hunter, I’m so sorry. I had no idea.”

  “It’s okay, it’s not your fault, but it’s true. That’s exactly what’s happening here, right? Friends turning into … lovers?” he told him.

  “Do you want to stop?”

  Hunter’s breath caught in his throat and he froze in place. He didn’t want to stop whatever was about to happen here, and he wanted to say something to break the awkwardness he’d created, but the words wouldn’t come. Instead, he leaned forward and crushed his lips with Andy’s, which led to a fierce meeting of their mouths.

  “Holy fuck,” Andy moaned.

  Hunter’s entire body tensed as Andy’s cock brushed against his groin. As he proceeded to kiss Hunter’s chest, Andy couldn’t help but notice how sweet he tasted. His lips were warm and welcoming as they pressed against his skin.

  This definitely feels okay, but why the hell do I still feel so guilty? Hunter questioned himself.

  He knew it was going to take some time for things to ever feel right again. With their bodies pressed together, Hunter’s dick was screaming for Andy to take it.

  “Just tell me if I’m moving too fast, we can slow down if you want,” Andy whispered. Although the words came out of his mouth, he wasn’t entirely sure just how much slower they could possibly go. They weren’t fucking, they were just kissing and touching, and apparently a whole lot of other stuff.

  Hunter’s dick showed no indication of wanting to slow things down. In fact, he never imagined ever having feelings like this again, especially toward a man.

  “You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this,” Andy said. “How long I’ve waited to be able to touch you, and make you my first.”

  Hunter’s eyes slid closed, and he felt Andy’s strong fingers creep lower down his back. “Wait … your first what?” Hunter asked.

  “My first … everything,” Andy stated.

  Hunter wasn’t sure if he’d heard correctly, so he asked, “Are you … are you telling me that—”

  “Yes, I’m still a virgin.
What happened to me that night, that wasn’t sex, not sex that I wanted anyway. So I want you to be my first everything, properly.”

  Hunter’s eyes widened and locked with Andy’s.

  “That surprises you, that I’m still a virgin?” Andy asked.

  “Well … ah, yeah …”

  “Why?”

  “Like seriously?”

  “Yes, Hunter. I still consider myself a virgin.”

  “But a guy like you, how is that even possible?” Hunter questioned.

  “I told you, I never really got into chicks, and the guys I knew were all way out of my league, and I knew I’d never stand a chance. Then, of course, I met you and well, everything changed.”

  Hunter was finding it difficult to speak, his words caught in his throat, and he had to steady himself so he wouldn’t fall onto the bed.

  “Hunter?”

  “Yeah? Sorry, I just … I never expected that.”

  “I’m not like most guys. I never fooled around in college, and that’s why I want my first time to be special, and I want it to be special with you.”

  Hunter’s cock throbbed, and Andy lowered his eyes and they focused on Hunter’s thick erection pointing straight at him. Slowly, Andy kissed his way down Hunter’s neck, and Hunter felt the warmth of his mouth spread across his chest. His eyes lowered, and he looked down to find Andy slowly making his way toward his thick shaft.

  “I’m dying to know what you fucking taste like,” Andy confessed, still lowering his lips to their destination.

  When his mouth found the V of Hunter’s groin, Andy traced it with his tongue, and Hunter ran his hands through Andy’s hair and hummed in approval.

  “You ready for more, Hunter?” Andy asked, continuing his journey.

  “Yes,” he whispered as a panting breath.

  Andy was making this whole experience so fucking hot and joyful for Hunter, something he thought he would never feel again. Andy raised his eyes and looked at the man above him, with Hunter’s eyes closed and his head angled back, Andy knew that whatever was about to happen, was definitely going to change things, one way or another. As Andy proceeded lower, Hunter could feel the heat on his throbbing cock, and he shifted his feet apart. Andy quickly stopped what he was doing and looked up at Hunter.

  “Are you sure you really want this?” he asked, needing Hunter’s full approval before he took him in his mouth.

  “Yes. It’s just … you doing that, whatever you’re doing, is...” His whispered words trailed off as he felt Andy’s fingers press against the root of his shaft.

  “Is what, Hunter? Tell me,” Andy ordered as he inched closer to the thick flesh.

  “Unfuckingbelievable. I swear it’s ...” But that was all he managed as he felt the tight, wet heat of Andy’s mouth swallow him down.

  “Oh fuck,” Hunter moaned as Andy licked the full length of his cock before swallowing him deeper. Andy was slow and gentle, testing the waters and waiting for whatever reaction, good or bad, Hunter was going to throw at him. When Hunter’s eyes rolled back, and a hoarse groan left his mouth, Andy swallowed deeper.

  Andy felt two hands at the back of his head, and as he lubed the rigid flesh, he heard Hunter moan a pleasurable sound as he panted, “Fuck. This. Feels. Amazing. You’re so good at this,” between each of Andy’s sucks on his cock.

  Andy continued to lick his way up and down Hunter’s shaft before he tore his lips away and stood up so he was now level with Hunter. When Hunter’s head fell back, Andy grazed his teeth against his Adam’s apple before finding his lips and crushing their mouths together. Andy let Hunter’s tongue enter his mouth as they both fell into the heated kiss, and Hunter entwined his fingers in Andy’s thick hair.

  “If you’re a virgin, how the fuck are you so good at what you’re doing?” Hunter moaned.

  “Well, I am a guy, and it just so happens that I know what a guy craves. And watching gay porn can be a good pastime,” he chuckled.

  As the words left Andy’s mouth, Hunter examined his physique and brushed his palm over Andy’s chest. Andy couldn’t stop touching the man either, as their nakedness pressed together. Hunter’s body was muscle covered with muscle. Biceps almost bulging out of the muscular flesh, his chest and abs were so perfect, so defined, and hot as fuck. The sight of Hunter was the hottest fucking thing Andy had ever seen.

  Hunter couldn’t take his eyes off the man who now had his full attention. Much like him, Andy’s body was covered, inch by inch, in thick, toned muscle. They were required to do regular training when they joined the FDNY and it was apparent, by both their appearances, that they both still continued to work out regularly. Andy’s abs were so defined, and so perfect, Hunter just wanted to lick them on the way to his mouth.

  Andy slowly licked his way to Hunter’s earlobe and gently sucked on the skin before he whispered, “Turn around.”

  Hunter didn’t hesitate, he did as he was told and waited for Andy’s next request, but when he felt the heat of Andy’s body pressed against his back and the thickness of his cock brush against the crease of his ass, he let out a staggered breath. Andy leaned forward and kissed the back of Hunter’s neck. This position felt more intimate for Hunter as a low moan escaped his throat. Andy nipped at the skin on Hunter’s back, and the sensation caused Hunter’s body to twitch and beg for relief.

  “Do you like this? Do you like me touching you?” Andy whispered.

  “Yes … yes, I do,” Hunter replied in a strained voice.

  Hunter felt Andy’s hands snake around his waist before he slid them down to his thighs and he pulled Hunter back until his ass was now firmly against his throbbing erection. Hunter remained perfectly still, and Andy pressed his lips against Hunter’s naked back and bit down on the muscles. He raised his head and brought his lips to Hunter’s ear where he whispered in a voice full of desire, “I can’t wait for the day when I can finally be inside you and make you mine.”

  The words circled through Hunter’s brain, as Andy continued to smooth his hands across Hunter’s back. His cock was still pressed firmly against Hunter’s ass, but all Andy could do was imagine the sensation when he finally got the chance to fuck Hunter and proclaim him as his.

  “Wow … ah …,” was all Hunter managed to say.

  “I’m sorry, did I freak you out?” Andy questioned, gently kissing the skin on the back of Hunter’s neck.

  “No. Not really, it’s just … I don’t think I’m ready for that, not yet,” Hunter confessed.

  Andy spun Hunter around so they were facing one another. “I can promise you, that’s not going to happen tonight, not for your first time with a man.”

  “And you’re okay with that?” Hunter asked.

  “Of course. I already told you, I’m not going to make you do anything you’re not comfortable with or ready for. I want you … us to get used to the idea of exploring each other’s bodies first.”

  Andy pressed his fingers to the skin on Hunter’s chest as he leaned forward to claim his mouth. When their lips touched, Andy parted his slightly and Hunter took the opportunity to slip his tongue inside. Hunter took a step closer and traced the outline of Andy’s abs with his forefinger as their kiss intensified. Andy lowered his hand to Hunter’s throbbing cock and wrapped his fingers around the strained length as he continued to mold his lips with Hunter’s. Andy gently tugged on the flesh currently between his fingers, while Hunter tilted his head back giving Andy the opportunity to suck on his jaw.

  “Fuck,” Hunter moaned, as Andy squeezed his cock.

  “I’d like to, but not yet, not tonight,” Andy joked.

  Andy’s fingers cupped Hunter’s balls, and a pleasurable moan escaped Hunter’s mouth as his fingers met the root of his hard length.

  “What happens if I change my mind?” Hunter asked.

  Andy immediately stopped what he was doing, and as Hunter tilted his head back down, their eyes locked.

  “Change your mind about wh
at?” Andy questioned.

  “This. You. Us. What happens if I decide that this isn’t what I want, after all?”

  Remaining silent, and still keeping his focus with Hunter, somewhere, Andy knew that the question was coming. He knew Hunter would have doubts and maybe even reservations about all this, and Andy was prepared to reassure the man in front of him, that no matter what he decided, they were in this together.

  “Then I’ll say goodbye and walk away,” Andy stated.

  “Just like that?”

  “Just like that. I think I’ve made it pretty clear to you that I won’t make you do anything you’re not comfortable with, and that includes hanging out at work. If this … if all this gets too much for you, and you suddenly realize that you don’t want to be with a man … me, then I’ll pack my stuff and leave.”

  Hunter’s glazed eyes stayed focused on Andy’s. He thought back to everything he’d told Andy before they agreed to do this. He hadn’t told Andy, not once, that he wasn’t interested; deep down, this was what he desired, and Andy was everything he wanted, but the thought of everything going belly up, swept a shadow of fear throughout Hunter’s entire body. He’d be lying if he said he wasn’t nervous, but he also didn’t want to lose Andy, not over this. Instead of saying anything, he leaned forward, kissing him on the lips and he slid his hand down to the lower part of Andy’s body.

  Hunter pulled his lips away and said, “Does this look like I don’t want to be with a man?”

  “How the fuck should I know? I’m too busy trying to stop myself from molesting your mouth.” Hunter gently squeezed Andy’s balls as Andy closed his eyes and continued in a raspy voice, “If you’re trying to make me come, you better do it quickly and get it over with before I change my mind about not fucking you tonight, and bend you over that bed and give you one hell of an erotic workout. And besides, you’re the one who asked what would happen if—”

  “Forget what I said,” Hunter cut in. “I know this is what I want … you’re what I want.” The words came naturally out of Hunter’s mouth, and he knew them to be true. He’d struggled for weeks about coming to terms with the idea of having any sort of relationship, other than friendship, with Andy. But as he looked at the man in front of him, he realized that this … Andy, was his present and his future.
