5 Chapter 5

Cordero lives on the second floor.Sean troops up the stairs behind him,footfalls echoing off the metal risers.Between the two of them,they sound like Armageddon arriving.At the door to Cordero’s apartment,Sean takes a moment to lean against his new friend—there are no other students around,noone to see.He presses his chest against Cordero’s back,laying his body flush along Cordero’s,and the ache at his crotch fits between Cordero’s buttocks perfectly.Smoothing his hands down Cordero’s sides,Sean leans his head on Cordero’s shoulder and sighs.“You one fine mo-fo,you know?”

“Keep talking like that,we ain’t gonna get in the door,”Cordero chides,but Sean can hear the smile in his voice.
