Verboten (Jalex)

Chapter 23

It took Jack five minutes and forty-three seconds to stop crying. Not that Alex was crying or anything. Alex hadn't done anything except run Jack's back, in between his shoulder blades, and hum a random tune under his breath to try and calm both of their nerves.

As soon as Jack had shed his final tear, he grabbed Alex and pulled him into a bone-crushing hug. "You're too precious for this world," Jack murmured. "And I'll protect you and make everything alright."

"I know you will," Alex whispered back. He wanted to stay like this forever, so he refused to move when Jack began to get up, and with a squeal, he realised that Jack was lifting him up, taking advantage of the way that Alex had his arms encircling Jack's neck; the younger immediately and instinctively wrapped his legs around Jack's slender but well-built frame.

"Want to come back to mine?" Jack asked, his tone serious but also a little suggestive. Alex nodded enthusiastically. Jack laughed and nudged at Alex's hair, prompting the younger to look up quizzically; Jack took the opportunity to steal a quick kiss. Alex giggled and blushed, still not used to the blatant affection that Jack showered him with.

"Let's get going," Jack said softly and set Alex down, reluctance on both of their parts.

Nobody else remained in school now. Even the cleaners had finished their rounds and gone home; all after-school detentions had ended and no more teachers had stayed behind to catch up on marking or give extra tutoring (as Jack was supposedly doing). It was fun being the only ones there; they walked with their hands intertwined or with their arms around each other's waist, occasionally sneaking down a little, and more than once one would push the other one up against the wall suddenly and kiss him passionately.

Needless to say, the usually two-minute journey to Jack's car took them over five minutes. And they both loved every second of it.

"Apparently teenagers are really horny," Alex spoke once they had both ducked into his car.

"Yep, they are," Jack replied with a wink, and started the engine.

"I swear you're horny just as much as I am, though."

"Two reasons," Jack pulled out of the school car park. "One: I have a very high sex drive. Two: you're extremely hot." He saw Alex blush out of the corner of his eye and bite his lip shyly.

"Works out well for me then," he replied after a few seconds pause.

"Definitely. There's just one difference."

"What's that?"

Jack grinned devilishly. He laid his hand on Alex's thigh, steering the car with his spare, and traced a slow line leading to his groin. "They get hornier...so much quicker." He squeezed lightly and smirked to himself when he realised his boyfriend was half-hard already.

Alex bucked his hips up involuntarily and hissed, "Go faster."
