The Cowboy's Prize

Chapter 14

Fondling his key chain, Scott stood at the door facing Mitch who had his back against it. Mitch eyed the nervous evidence that Scott's mind was elsewhere, as he stared blankly at the door above Mitch's head.

"What's on your mind Cutiepie?" Mitch asked with a smirk, knowing full well Scott's brain was already ticking over a mile a minute at the thought of getting home as fast as possible. It was almost like the anticipation of what was to happen had overtaken his thinking brain and sent him to sensory input only. Mitch reached out to touch him.

At Mitch's hand on his chest, Scott glanced down almost with surprise. Coming back to reality, he started and said, "Sorry Princess, I'd get down on my knees in apology only it's a bit early in our relationship for that sort of thing isn't it?" He said with a whimsical smile.

"Way too early." Mitch agreed. Thinking that he would have said 'Yes' in a heartbeat had Scott been earnest. And that surprised him more than he imagined. "Don't break the sound barrier on your way home Cowboy." He said with a smirk as his confidence kicked back in, and he playfully pushed Scott back a step.

Scott's bemused expression changed as he took in Mitch's appearance, his flushed cheeks, the sparkle in his eyes, the teeth gripping his lower lip. He was breathing quickly and his slightly bashful appearance made Scott's mouth widen in response.

"Have you ever done this before?" He asked quizzically, his brain returning to the immediate future.

"No." Mitch retorted quickly. "Have you?" He asked as he tipped his head to the side.

Scott blushed. And his expression made Mitch's eyes widen with knowledge. "You've never done anything before have you?" He asked, completely surprised.

"Not with a boy." He admitted. At the lack of immediate response from Mitch, he asked, "Are you shocked?"

Mitch paused, then shook his head. "No," He replied as his expression grew thoughtful. "You've just confirmed you're a complete Gentleman, aren't you?" Mitch said once more admiring Scott's restraint, then his brain went back to the pond. "However, you're an exhibitionist or an extreme extrovert aren't you?"

Scott's brain went there too and his acknowledging yet bashful grin confirmed Mitch's suspicions, and he grinned back as he waited for the big blonde to speak. "I like you a lot Mitch." Scott admitted. "More than I thought possible after such a short acquaintance."

"Oh Lord, who says that anymore?" Mitch giggled at the old-fashioned vocabulary.

Scott ran a hand through his untidy hair as he shrugged. "I went as far as second base a few times with a couple of girls when I was younger and not really sure if I was interested in them or just doing the done thing." He said as he made a complete mess of his hair. "But it occurred to me while I was feeling the second one up, that I wished it was a flat, smooth chest I was feeling rather than soft and slightly squashy."

Mitch giggled again. "Don't laugh." Scott said as he blushed even harder. "I just knew I would rather have a boy who knew exactly what made me feel good, turn me on, rather than some fumbling girl who had no idea." Mitch nodded with understanding.

"They just don't go down on us enough..." He said, his voice trailing off with amusement as Scott turned beet red in front of him.

Scott's mouth opened but nothing came out.

Mitch giggled again and ran his index finger down Scott's nose while opening the door behind him with his other hand. "I'll bet you'll have more to say if I'm not standing right in front of you on the stoop." Mitch said as Scott blew out the breath he'd been holding after nuzzling Mitch's finger with his face.
