Hot for Charity

by Cheryl Dragon

  “Considering you were right, and I don’t want to be a stripper, I’d be crazy not to give it another try. You reduced your volunteer schedule to have time for me. Fair is fair. I’m done with dancing. Not even a fill-in. I’m a paramedic during the day, and I’ll bartend on Friday and Saturday nights, but the rest of the week is ours.” Cody kissed Kyler gently on the lips.

  Kyler hugged him tightly, and Cody relaxed in his boyfriend’s arms. The guy had quirks, but he wasn’t as mean or harsh as he first seemed. Cody could help him soften the edges just as Kyler could help Cody get a deal on a new car. That was what a relationship was, after all, right? Give and take with no scoreboard.

  Cody wanted to change anyway. It wasn’t only to keep Kyler in his life. It was what he wanted, and Kyler had just read him right.

  Kyler led Cody into the kitchen. He could smell garlic bread in the oven.

  “You’re spoiling me,” Cody said.

  “Come on, it’s a ten dollar dinner. Besides, you adjusted things for me.” Kyler smiled. “Ken wasn’t annoyed?”

  “No, he knew I wouldn’t last forever. I guess I wasn’t faking it as well as I thought. I’d been thinking of going to the bar instead of the stage. Men don’t get serious about a stripper. Not the good ones. I want a life, not just money. I was so one-track I almost missed the best guy who ever walked into that bar.” Cody nipped Kyler’s neck as he stirred the pasta in boiling water.

  “Please. I’m a misfit. You’re a big sexy hunk who saves lives in your day job. You’ll always find someone.” Kyler turned off the heat.

  Cody grabbed the pot and poured the contents into the strainer waiting in the sink. “You really think the stripper label doesn’t matter? You are handsome, hot, and can fix things. I mean you could pick up so many guys just saying you give rim and lube jobs for a living.”

  “Now you’re making me sound like a porn star?” Kyler grabbed a wooden spoon and batted Cody’s ass until he moved away from the noodles. “I guess we’re both misfits.”

  “We don’t need to fit into anyone’s stereotype or label. We fit pretty damn well together. Avery is glad we’re back together. He is also happy to have a reliable bartender. But he was acting weird.” Cody frowned.

  Kyler nodded. “You’re right. Are you okay about talking at the shelter? You can get a male nurse if you would rather. Just preferably gay.”

  “Right, I forgot.” Cody pulled his phone from his pocket and set it on the kitchen table. “I talked to Mary on the way over. She is a lesbian and about twenty-five. She would be happy to come and talk to the girls. I’ll call Harry and figure out a date that works for everyone.”

  “Thanks.” Kyler put the pasta in a big bowl and added the sauce.

  Cody saw hesitation in Kyler’s face. “What?”

  The oven dinged, and Kyler pulled out the garlic bread. “You’re really not mad about the job thing? I don’t want you to pull this out in ten years and say I really did bully you into quitting.”

  Cody put the hot pieces of bread in a basket before he kissed Kyler. “Are you serious about changing your volunteer schedule?”

  “Of course. I already did it. I was off balance. Too much work and volunteering. I like to help, but now he can afford more paid staff. It works out. It feels right.” Kyler shrugged.

  “Same here. I got so money-obsessed, I didn’t see what I was missing. Bartending is a good option. Not as much money, but I can’t do it all at once. I was pushing myself so hard, I didn’t have a life. I want one with you.” Cody led Kyler to the set table.

  “I want that. More balance for both of us.” Kyler dished out pasta.

  Cody grabbed some drinks from the fridge and sat down. “There will be. You spoiled me with dinner. I get to spoil you in bed later.”

  Kyler blushed and grabbed a piece of garlic bread.

  “I don’t hear any objection,” Cody teased.

  “Spoil me the way I like. I love it.” Kyler nodded.

  “I love you.” Cody grabbed Kyler’s hand.

  “I love you too. But don’t go soft on me in bed.” Kyler winked.

  “Not a chance.”

  * * * *

  After all the dishes were put away, Kyler stripped off his clothes and headed for the bedroom. Cody was turning on the dishwasher, and Kyler could barely wait. He pulled out a condom and the lube before he stretched out on his back on the bed, totally naked.

  Cody strolled in and stared down as Kyler’s cock grew hard.

  “What’s your fantasy?” Cody asked.

  Kyler smiled. “I don’t know. You.”

  Cody undressed slowly. “I’ll do you plenty. Where do you want it?”

  For a second, Kyler paused. “The back of your ambulance. If you won’t get in trouble.”

  “Now that’s what I’m talking about.” Cody knelt naked on the bed and spread Kyler’s legs.

  “What if we’re caught? Seen?” Kyler closed his eyes as Cody rubbed lube on Kyler’s asshole.

  “It’s my workplace, not yours. I’ll bend you over any fancy car you want in that garage, if you like.” Cody slid on the protection.

  Kyler tensed. “I’m up for a promotion. If I get it, you can fuck me at my desk. Maybe after hours if I can find out where all the cameras are. I can’t get fired.”

  As Cody filled him, Kyler scooted closer and relaxed to take it all.

  “That’s okay. We’ll find plenty of fun.” Cody pinched Kyler’s nipples.

  “Oh God, Cody. Fuck me. I really get this all the time?” Kyler could not believe he had found a guy who liked what he did and did not judge him. Cody wasn’t freaked out by the shelter work or anything about Kyler.

  “As much as I want.” Cody leaned down and kissed Kyler. “Jerk your cock now.”

  Kyler didn’t argue. His dick pulsed in agreement as he gripped it and gently slid the shaft through his hand.

  “Harder and faster. I want to watch you come like a fountain all over yourself.” Cody buried his dick all the way and held Kyler’s attention.

  “Fuck me, please.” Kyler rocked his hips as he jerked his cock faster.

  “Come for me first.” He rubbed Kyler’s balls.

  Cody pressed his thumb behind Kyler’s sac, and he had no choice. Kyler stroked his shaft and rubbed the tip until he lost control. Cody grabbed his cock as soon as the first drop was out. He milked Kyler’s dick. All Kyler could do was arch his back and enjoy the rough stuff.

  Finally, Cody began fucking Kyler again. He lifted his hips, and Cody held Kyler’s ass firmly in place as their bodies slammed together. That big dick rubbed the tender spot inside him. Kyler shifted slightly so Cody would hit it over and over.

  “I love it! Don’t stop!” Kyler screamed.

  Cody leaned down and bit his nipple. The stimulus threw Kyler into orgasm. His muscles convulsed on Cody. It was so sweet, and the ache burned deep until Cody moaned.

  “Shit, Kyler.” Cody pulled free and shoved himself back inside as he looked Kyler in the eye as he gasped in climax.

  The view of Cody in orgasm was a rush Kyler loved almost as much as coming. Kyler blurted. “I love you.”

  “Damn right.” Cody collapsed on his boyfriend, and Kyler kissed him possessively.

  Epilogue

  Three months later…

  On a busy Friday night at Big D’s, Kyler and his buddies were at the bar. Some of the men stared at the stage, but Kyler only had eyes for the bartender. It was working out well. They both had more time to spend together. Kyler was rebuilding that old muscle car, and Cody was helping. Cody would need a new car anyway, so when they were done, they could sell the restored classic and get something reliable.

  “What are you dreaming about?” Cody asked his boyfriend.

  “Nothing,” he said.

  Kyler had a lot of plans. One of which was to get Cody to move in with him. That crappy apartment had to go. He spent all his time at Kyler’s anyway. He thought it might be too fast, but then again everything about their
relationship was.

  “You are being weird,” Joey said.

  “I’m just happy. You’ve never seen it before. Hot boyfriend. Like my job. I was promoted to manager so more money. Now I just need to talk Cody into moving in with me, and it’ll be perfect,” Kyler said slyly.

  Cody knocked over a glass; luckily, it was just water. “What?”

  “Aww,” Joey said.

  “You’d save rent,” Avery said.

  “It’s not just about money. I’d contribute.” Cody’s cheeks were all red when he looked Kyler in the eye. “You hate my apartment.”

  “So do you,” Kyler replied.

  “I know, but it’s too fast.” Cody shook his head.

  Kyler looked at his friends. “I don’t think so. I think it makes sense. You can sublet yours.”

  Ken walked up to the group. “Don’t like the show?”

  “Kyler just asked Cody to move in with him.” Avery held up a finger to his lips.

  Instead of leaving, Ken folded his arms and waited.

  “Really? We need an audience?” Cody asked.

  “You’re the one conducting your private life at work.” Avery shrugged.

  “We’ll go watch the show as soon as we hear the answer.” Joey nodded to Ken.

  Brian put an arm around his boyfriend, and the whole place seemed to go still waiting for Cody’s answer. Kyler felt a bit of pressure. Rejection would be bad, but he knew it would just be a delay.

  “Don’t keep us waiting all night,” Ken said.

  Cody wiped his hands on a bar towel. “Okay, fine. Yes, I’ll move in when I find someone to sublet.”

  “I’m sure some of the guys here would love that. I’ll let them know.” Ken headed backstage.

  Kyler pulled Cody down for a kiss and could not help smiling. “Good call.”

  “Are you sure you have enough room?” Cody asked.

  “You’re there most of the time anyway,” Brian said.

  Joey elbowed his boyfriend. “And Kyler loves it. We love having you in the group, Cody. It’s good. Now let’s not hurt the hot boy’s feelings.”

  Joey led Brian over to a table so they could watch the show. The other friend who had tagged along went with them.

  Avery moved off to fill a drink order, and then Kyler felt as if he finally had a private moment with his guy. “So you’re sure?”

  Cody nodded. “It’d happen eventually. We’re going to be together forever, so why not? But don’t think I’m going to let you pay for everything. Promotion or not.”

  “Fair is fair. You’ll have to clean too,” Kyler said.

  Cody leaned over and kissed Kyler. “We can work on the fancy car, and you can teach me to cook.”

  “You just hate doing the dishes.” Kyler grinned.

  “We can take turns, easier then.” Cody sliced some more lime wedges.

  Kyler did not care if the dishes ever got done. His boyfriend was dreamy in a T-shirt and tight jeans. It was nice to see him fully clothed. Kyler had suggested Cody get another certification for lab work or X-ray tech, but he liked the rush of driving an ambulance and the calm of mixing drinks.

  “Tomorrow night, I’m treating to good Chinese after my time at the shelter,” Kyler said.

  “No cleaning up. I’ll meet you at the shelter when I’m done with my shift.” Cody grinned.

  “You don’t have to go to the shelter with me if you don’t want to. It’s my volunteer thing. I can meet you at the restaurant.” Kyler said.

  Cody shot Kyler a look that said shut up. Ever since he had spoken to the kids, he was popular. It was nice to see Kyler’s honesty as he actually helped the teens in person too. Kids responded to the no-bullshit frankness and confided in Kyler when no one else could get through. While the couple was nowhere near ready for kids themselves, Cody knew their different strengths would make them a great set of parents…even if the kids turned out straight.
