Quietly Queer

Chapter 20

~Shawn's POV~

I was still crying but I really need his comfort right now. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. He snaked his arms tighter around my waist as I cried into his shoulder.

"Shhh I'm right here, he can't hurt you."

He was trying to calm me down but I just couldn't. All the feelings I had been holding in were being let out on Jacob's shoulder. I have cried way too much for a 19 year old man. He must think I'm a baby.

He kissed my head and that calmed me down just barely. He ran his fingers through my brown locks and nuzzled his face into the crook of my neck. I relaxed against him and just continued to hug him. I lifted my head off his shoulder and he looked at me before wiping the tears off my cheeks. I leaned in so close to his face I could feel his breath. I pressed my forehead against his and closed my eyes. I bit my lip and he grabbed it from me biting it himself. I closed my lips over his slowly kissing him. He continued kissing me like that, he didn't want to over-step his boundaries. I had to take the lead and I licked his bottom lip. He smiled against my lips and continued kissing me. I gave him access to French kiss me. His tongue explored my mouth. He brushed his tongue against mine and jerked back when a ball hit his shin. I turned around to see his son staring at us. I chuckled and laid my head on his shoulder still looking at Zach.

"He looks a lot like you.."

He nodded and picked up the ball.

"Yea but he also got my mischievous genes."

He tossed the ball back to him. I ruffled Jacob's hair.

"You are mischievous."

He smiled and pecked my lips lightly.

"About Dillon... please don't do anything that you'll regret."

"Trust me, I won't be the one regretting anything."

He brushed his fingertips over my neck softly and it sent shivers up my spine. His finger landed on the hickey. I knew what was coming next.

"Tell me how it happened."
