Chapter 70 - Chase

Chase's POV

"I've been asking Diego to introduce you to me for so long, and now we've finally met!" Esmée exclaims, beaming.

Diego, help me! My plea is answered by a congested snore and I subconsciously run my hand through his hair, to help me relax. I can do this! Jesse met her and survived to tell the tale and they're really close now, so I can do this too!

I release a long breath and give her a small smile. "It's nice to meet you." I carefully lift Diego's head and slide out from under him, placing one of his many pillows underneath his head before pulling up his blanket and turning to face her.

Bryan's mom is laden with bags, which, judging from the outlines, are filled with groceries. I walk towards her slowly, almost like a frightened kitten. "I can help you carry these to the kitchen," I say quietly and Esmée grins and transfers some of the bags to me. Her fingers lightly brush against mine, causing me some discomfort, but I ignore it and head to the kitchen, with her trailing behind.

I put the groceries on the counter and I decline her offer to help me unpack them, so she sits on one of the bar stools around Diego's kitchen island, while I start to unpack the bags. The silence is almost deafening as I put the groceries in their rightful place.

Why isn't she saying anything? Is it because she already doesn't like me? Should I call Jesse and ask how he won her over? Oh my gosh! Do I have to show her a photo of Diego and I having sex? But none of those photos exist!

Since my first two positive sexual experiences, Diego and I have had a lot of fun in the bedroom. We have kissed, licked, sucked and bitten almost every part of each other's bodies.

However, I still haven't let him anywhere near my butt hole, though I'm finally ready. After we returned from our camping trip, which we would already have left for if he wasn't sick, I was going to tell him that I was ready to have sex with him. I have no doubt that he will make it as pleasurable for me as possible, and if I can't go through with it, I know that he'll stop and comfort me and won't pressure me at all.

To my horror, when I mentioned to Jesse and Shawn, a few weeks ago, that I was thinking about having anal sex with Diego, they asked if I did any research. When I told them no, they offered to tell me about what to expect, and despite my awkwardness, I agreed and used the opportunity to ask a few questions.

They also equipped me with what they called 'beginner sex toys', lots of lube, an enema kit and a douche. Although they showed me how to use the enema kit and the douche, they both told me that they aren't necessary, with a proper diet and showering beforehand.

I shake my head, remembering the advice I gave to Jesse when he was meeting Bryan's parents. I shouldn't try to impress her, but try to relax and show her how awesome I am.

"Diego fell asleep not long before you came. I ordered some cold medicine so I'll wake him to take it once it arrives," I mumble just loud enough for her to hear. My eyebrows knit together and I turn towards her. "I thought you were bringing soup!"

Esmée releases a light laugh. "I brought the ingredients and was going to make it here so it wouldn't have to be reheated."

"But you let me pack away all the groceries," I say with a pout.

Esmée smiles. "You really seemed like you needed the distraction, and I thought giving you a moment to help you get used to my unexpected presence might help." She gets up and walks towards me. "Do you know how to make chicken soup?" I shake my head and she continues. "Should I guide you through the process?'

A wide smile spreads across my face and my head bobs up and down. "Yes, please!" This way, if Diego is sick again, or even Jesse, I can cook for them. Usually I order soup but I think cooking it myself would be way better.
