Naturally I did something stupid to ruin the ultimate Kodak moment. I flinched and backed away in shock, and Gregory’s face fell. Before he could move away, I stopped him by gently caressing his chin.
“Wait, slow down. It’s okay. You just…surprised me, is all. I didn’t expect a kiss from you.”
He struggled against my hold and I let him go. “I feel like a fool.”
“Furthest thing from it.” I got out of the rocking chair and knelt down in front of him. “Truth, okay?”
He nodded.
“Are you attracted to me?”
Gregory closed his eyes and murmured, “Yes.”
“I’m attracted to you, too, but you know that already, right?”
A tiny smile. Good.
“Do you want to have sex with me?”
He swallowed, eyes huge with fear and, yes, lust. “I-I want to, but I haven’t…touched myself there in years.”
“There, as in anal penetration?” I asked, just to be sure.
“Yes.”
