Robert could feel Josh's hot breath on his neck, and he immediately scooted forward in his seat uncomfortably.
Josh's raspy voice spoke, quiet enough that only Robert could hear, "There's no need to do that."
Robert's heart stopped; his lungs felt like they had collapsed, and a radiating nervous excitement surged through his veins. He quickly glanced around Mrs. Erth's room, conscious that he was blushing, and he was sure that the crimson color was showing through his tan skin.
Most eyes were focused on Mrs. Erth, but one; a pair of lazy brown eyes gleamed with unusual jubilance, and to Robert's most utter dismay, winked with the knowledge of what had transpired between he and Josh.
Nate smiled, a sleepy, knowing smirk, and he motioned with his eyes to the long-haired head of Josh.
Robert's eyes flashed with alarm, but this was partially influenced by the skinny finger of Josh, which pressed into his back.
"Your finger is bony," Robert blurted innocently, and he quickly moved his own fingers over his mouth as he flushed evermore.
"That's not the only thing that is," Josh breathed.
Robert choked, and the entire class turned to look at him. After the alarm had worn off, Josh replied, in the same husky voice as before, "That's certainly not the only thing you'll be choking on."
"Josh--"
"I prefer Daddy."
