The Drum Major’s Passion

by Charlie Richards

  After a few seconds where the only sound was the tires on wet asphalt, Will replied, “I’ll answer honestly if I get to ask the next question.”

  “Fair enough,” Drew replied. “Anything.”

  Will nodded. “Okay. So, my first two years of teaching, I dated a guy in the closet. He kept telling me, over and over, that he was going to come out to his friends, family, and colleagues. I believed him, even though every time he introduced me as a co-worker.”

  “He taught at the same school as you?” Seeing Will nod, Drew couldn’t help but ask, “Does he still?”

  Chuckling, Will murmured, “I thought I got to ask the next question.”

  Drew grimaced. “Sorry.”

  “It’s okay,” Will countered, squeezing his hand in return. “Was just joking. Um, no, he doesn’t still work there, thank god.” Scoffing, Will finished, “I figure he’s still in the closet and probably cheating on his wife of three years now... assuming they’re still together.”

  “H-He dumped you for some, uh—” Drew couldn’t fathom walking away from Will, and he hadn’t even managed to taste his lips again. “Naw.” Drew decided differently. “You dumped his ass, right?”

  Boy was I tempted to taste his lips so many damn times tonight, and I’m not walking away from his door without giving it my best shot at kissing him goodnight.

  Will hummed as he nodded. “Yeah, I did end up dumping him. After that, he tried to get me fired a couple of times, but as it turned out, I had more friends at the school than he did.” Drew noticed Will turning his head to focus on him from the corner of his eye as he commented, “Evidently, a few of the staff knew about us but never said anything. After all, I was openly out. When he started slandering me, he ended up getting in trouble for discrimination.”

  Drew laughed as he grinned at the road. “Nice.”

  “Anyway, he switched to a different school and found some poor girl to trap into marriage,” Will told him. “So I was surprised that you were so honest with your father, since we’ve only been on a couple of dates.”

  “Okay.” Drew understood. “Just so you know, I always follow through with what I say I’m going to do.” Glancing Will’s way again, he added, “Of course, if I do need to break a commitment, I’m equally upfront about that, too.”

  Will smiled. “I like that.”

  Grinning, Drew asked, “Okay. So... your question?”

  After a second of hesitation, Will asked, “You said that you hadn’t bothered to tell your father because you’d never found someone who made you think about having a relationship.”

  Drew arched one eyebrow. “There isn’t a question in there.”

  “Well, how can you think, after only a week, that I could be that person?” Will squeezed his hand as he hurried to add, “Not that I’m not flattered, but, well, how? Why?”

  Humming, Drew took a second to give that question the consideration it was due. “Well,” he began slowly, choosing his words carefully. “I already told you that your kiss is the one I held all others against and they never measured up, so I know our chemistry will be explosive.”

  “So this is all physical?” Will asked, sounding disappointed.

  Drew shook his head. “I’m not done answering,” he told him, bringing their twined fingers to his lips and kissing Will’s knuckles lightly.

  He’d seen Devon do it to Jake often, and it always brought a smile to his buddy’s lips. To his pleasure, as a street lamp illuminated Will’s face, he saw a similarly sweet smile on his date’s lips. There was some surprise, too, but that was okay.

  I’ll get him used to my touch.

  “I wouldn’t come out to my dad for something just physical,” Drew told Will, continuing his explanation. “I’ve gotten physical release easily over the years.” He figured he ought to be upfront that he wasn’t a virgin by any means. “You’ve crossed my mind on more than one occasion.”

  Spotting Will’s driveway, Drew paused and pulled his hand away. He parked, then turned his attention to his date—the man he wanted to continue to explore a future with. Reaching over, Drew again took Will’s hand.

  “Although we never really knew each other, Will, I’ve never forgotten you,” Drew admitted as he took in Will’s lean handsome features. “And now that we’re getting to know each other, everything I learn about you makes me more attracted to you, and I don’t mean physically. Your work in the Big Brother program shows me your kind and compassionate heart. Your ability to learn so many instruments denotes your hard work ethic.” The moonlight coming in through the window allowed Drew to see the way Will’s cheeks were darkening, and he couldn’t resist bringing his free hand up to skim his forefingers along one with the backs of his fingers. “Then there’s the way you respect yourself, shown when you refused to be in a secret relationship. Also, your thoughtfulness in bringing a gift to Jake and Devon even though I told you it wasn’t necessary. Your—”

  Will lifted his hand and placed it over Drew’s lips. “Stop,” he whispered huskily. Awe filled his expression as he eyed him, his head shaking just a smidge. “We’ve only been chatting for a week, and you came to all those conclusions?”

  Drew smiled against Will’s fingers, enjoying the feel of the other man’s hands on him. “I know jocks have a reputation for being self-centered and, well, dumb.” He winked, letting Will know he didn’t necessarily think he felt that way. “So I learned to keep my mouth shut most of the time. That made me get better at observing stuff. I see a lot more than most would think, considering my size.”

  “Lots of assumptions made,” Will whispered as he skimmed his fingers away from Drew’s lips and along his jaw. “Same with band geeks.”

  “And the color of women’s hair,” Drew whispered absently. The hairs on his nape stood on end at the feel of Will’s fingers skimming along his jaw, and it was becoming difficult to think. “Or computer nerds.”

  “I want to ask you in for a drink,” Will murmured, holding his gaze. “But I don’t really want a drink.” His expression turned heavy-lidded as he slid his focus to Drew’s lap, then back to his eyes. “Unless it’s a certain liquid.”

  There was no misinterpreting Will’s look, and a groan slipped from Drew’s lips, unable to be kept in. His cock throbbed behind his fly, suddenly hard as steel and leaking. Drew’s breath caught in his chest, and goose bumps erupted on his arms.

  “Do you think that’s too forward of me?” Will whispered.

  Drew’s mind was shutting down with the strength of the arousal surging through him, making it difficult for him to process Will’s words. It took him a few seconds to realize the man had asked a question. It wasn’t until Will pulled his hand from Drew’s face that he recognized that he needed to respond. After all, he really wanted to remove the pensive look on Will’s face.

  “Not too forward, at all,” Drew claimed, his body nearly burning up from the inside out. “Especially since if I get my hands on your body, I’m going to be too forward right along with you and demand you allow me to hold you all night long.”

  Will groaned softly as he nodded eagerly. “Yes, please.”

  That was enough for Drew. He pulled away from Will and turned off his truck. After unbuckling his belt, he exited and shut the door behind him. Drew glanced toward the passenger side and saw Will had done the same.

  Drew hurried forward, meeting Will halfway up the walk. As he watched his soon-to-be lover pull out his keys, he pressed close to his back, invading his space. Resting his hands on Will’s hips, he dipped his head and nuzzled his lips along the side of his neck.

  To Drew’s satisfaction, a satisfying shudder worked through the man he held. He wanted to explore that response so very much. Drew wondered what else would cause shivers, shakes, and trembles.

  “Y-You’re making it difficult to o-open the door,” Will told him, his voice husky and low.

  Drew continued to slide his lips along Will’s neck as he replied, “I’d say I’m sorry, but that would be a lie.�
� Then, after a nip on the lobe of his ear, he lifted his head. “But I want to get you into the house, so—” Drew lowered his hands, but he didn’t move away from him.

  Will moaned softly, the noise going straight to Drew’s already stiff dick. His blood thrummed in his veins, causing his fingers to twitch. He desperately wanted to take the man into his arms again and peel the coat from him.

  As soon as Will opened the door and led the way inside, Drew did just that. He slammed the door closed and locked it, then grabbed Will. After swiftly unbuttoning the nice coat, Drew pushed it off Will’s shoulders.

  To Drew’s pleasure, Will wasn’t a passive party. He had immediately unzipped Drew’s coat. In order to remove them, they had to release each other, which they did at the same time.

  Two heavy thumps sounded in the foyer as their coats hit the floor.

  Unable to resist the man in front of him a second longer, as soon as his arms were free, Drew grabbed Will. The other man wrapped him up in an equally frenzied hold, rubbing over his fabric-covered back. Drew dipped his head and captured his new lover’s lips. With a nip on his bottom lip, Drew demanded entrance.

  Will gave it, opening immediately to him.

  Drew pushed his tongue into Will’s mouth, sweeping in to taste the other man. As he enjoyed the flavor of wine and the food they’d eaten that evening, he discovered something else, something that had to be all Will. The sweet tang caused his taste buds to sing, and Drew knew he would never get enough.

  As Drew continued to map Will’s mouth, exploring and plundering, he pushed his hands under the other man’s polo shirt. Upon feeling the smooth flesh of his man’s back, he groaned into his new lover’s mouth. He clutched him close as he rubbed up and down his spine, stopping one hand at the waist of the jeans that had caused his ass to look fantastic all evening.

  Dipping one finger under the fabric, Drew slid it into Will’s crack and teased the sensitive flesh.

  In response, Will moaned and yanked out of the kiss. His cheeks were flushed, and his lips were beautifully wet and swollen. He peered up at him through glazed eyes.

  “Bedroom,” Will demanded. “Now.”

  “Hell yeah,” Drew replied, more than on board with that.

  Chapter Nine

  Will couldn’t remember the last time he allowed his dick to do the thinking. Everything about Drew turned him on. From his touches to his attitude to his speech, everything about him lit Will up from the inside out.

  Having reached the bedroom, Will turned and faced Drew. The man’s brown eyes had darkened nearly to black. His gaze smoldered as he reached for the hem of Will’s shirt.

  Obeying the silent command, Will lifted his arms and allowed Drew to pull it from his body. He instantly returned the favor and removed Drew’s shirt. The jeans, socks, and shoes disappeared in short order.

  Then Will found himself lifted and placed in the middle of his bed. He stared at Drew in shock upon experiencing his easy strength. The big man panted, but something told Will that it was from lust, not exertion.

  Maybe it was the massive rod jutting from Drew’s groin, the tip already damp from pre-cum. His thick erection was just as stunning as the rest of the man. Drew sported thickly muscled limbs and an eight-pack.

  Will had never seen one of those in person. He normally didn’t feel self-conscious about his body. After all, he ran and was normally careful about what he ate, keeping himself in shape. Compared to Drew, though, Will felt downright skinny.

  “God, you’re so fucking sexy, Will.”

  Drew’s growled words yanked Will’s attention to his face. The man stood beside the bed, staring down at him with fierce hunger etched on his features. The lust Drew felt practically burned in his eyes.

  “You’re the sexy one,” Will replied, his voice huskier than he’d ever heard it before. “You’ve got a fricken eight-pack.”

  With a roll of one boulder of a shoulder, Drew dismissed his comment. “Condoms? Lube?”

  Will pointed at the nightstand on the other side of the bed. Then, before Drew could round the bed, he rolled onto his hands and knees. Leaning over, he opened the drawer and pulled out the requested items.

  As Will drew back, he felt the bed dip to his left. A low growl filled the room, the sound one of appreciation, and he peered over his shoulder. He spotted the feral hunger etched over Drew’s features right before the man rested his hands on Will’s back, right above his ass cheeks.

  “So fucking stunning,” Drew rumbled as he slid his hands down and palmed Will’s globes. He squeezed and massaged Will’s flesh as he gently prized his cheeks apart. “Oh, damn, Will. You have a beautiful tan hole.” Sliding a thumb into Will’s trench, Drew teased it over his striated opening. “Can’t wait to feel this wrapped around my cock.” His voice held a definite whining note to it. “It’ll feel so good.”

  Will clenched his hole on reflex, having seen the steel pipe jutting from between Drew’s legs. His erection was perfectly proportioned to his body—thick, long, and veiny. The man’s massive rod had to be at least nine inches.

  “Relax,” Drew crooned, massaging his entrance some more. He’d obviously felt Will stiffen. “I’ll have you good and relaxed, babe. Don’t you worry.”

  Before Will could tell Drew that he was clenching in anticipation, not concern, Drew moved his hands to his hips and flipped him back over. Will would forever deny his squeak of surprise, but he knew Drew had heard him from the flicker of amusement lighting his dark eyes.

  Drew held out his hand, and Will gave him the condom.

  Arching one brow, Drew quickly opened it. As he rolled it down his length, Drew stated absently, “I’ve never fucked bare before, but I look forward to it.” He grinned as he met Will’s gaze. “When you’re comfortable with me, we’ll get tested.” Reaching down, Drew gripped Will’s erection and began jacking him slowly. “Lookin’ forward to feeling this in me, your hot cum warming up my insides.”

  Will hissed, his stomach muscles clenching and releasing. Sparks erupted through his groin at the stimulation on his dick. It took Will a second to process Drew’s words.

  “Y-You’d let me—” Will gasped as Drew massaged his frenulum while skimming a nail along his piss slit. “Drew!”

  It had been far too long since he’d felt the touch of another’s hand, and his body felt primed. His balls began to tingle as he clenched his abs, trying to control himself. He groaned as he twisted his fingers into the comforter while watching Drew play with his erection.

  “St-Stop,” Will whined. “Too close.”

  Drew’s husky chuckle sounded dark and rough. “Well, we wouldn’t want that to go to waste,” he commented with a wink.

  Then Drew bent, opened his mouth, and swallowed Will’s cock to the root.

  Wet, sucking heat enveloped Will’s sensitive flesh. The pressure coupled with the view of Drew between his legs, servicing him, went straight to his head. Tensing, Will barked a cry as he bucked.

  Drew clamped a hand onto Will’s hip, stilling his action. Tipping his head a little, he peered up at him through his lashes. He even leered while still continuing to suck him strongly, his expression one of hunger.

  Will’s gut clenched at the lascivious look, and when Drew’s other hand rubbed over his hip, a shudder worked through his body.

  Drew began bobbing on his dick, slow and steady. Each time he lodged Will’s cock head in his throat, he swallowed, massaging his cap. As he sucked strongly and pulled upward, he replaced his lips with his hand and squeezed his wet shaft. The hand on his hip shifted position, fingers teasing into his groin hairs, tickling the sensitive flesh beneath while still holding him in place.

  The mix of squeeze and massage, heat and pull, yanked Will to the edge so swiftly, he almost didn’t have time to warn Drew. He gasped his lover’s name, but he didn’t pull off. Instead, Drew moved his hand to Will’s balls and gently squeezed his orbs.

  Roaring with bliss as fiery zings coursed through his veins, Will cried o
ut his pleasure. He arched his back as shudder after shudder racked his body. Blissful endorphins caused spots to dance across his vision, and he felt as if he were floating.

  Will wasn’t certain how long he drifted, reveling in the aftershocks of the endorphins pinging through him. His senses reeled, and his whole body trembled. Zings shot through him, and his skin goose bumped.

  Coming back to himself at the sensation, Will realized his dick remained mostly hard. Drew continued to suckle him lightly, stimulating him. In fact, that wasn’t the only thing stimulating him.

  Will peeled open eyelids he couldn’t remember closing and looked down his body.

  Drew met his gaze and smiled around his mouthful of meat.

  Gasping, Will clamped down on the two fingers in his chute. Then Drew pegged his prostate, sending a fresh zing of pleasure through his groin. Still holding Will’s gaze, Drew slid his other hand up Will’s body and gently gripped his nipple.

  Sparks shot across his chest, and both nipples beaded in response.

  “Drew,” Will whimpered, desperately needing to move. “Please.”

  Popping off Will’s dick, Drew lifted his torso. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, then placed that one next to his shoulder as he levered over him. All the while, Drew continued to finger Will’s channel.

  “You’re so beautiful in your passion,” Drew growled, leaning over him. “Love this flush on your skin, seeing your nipples beaded, and the sweat of arousal glistening on your skin.”

  Will groaned as he untangled his fingers from the comforter. “God, the things you say,” he mumbled as he pulled him close. “Fuck me already.”
