Denial (boyxboy)

Chapter 5

Jeffrey's P.O.V.

Let go, let go, let go. This is what I'm trying to convince myself to do but my arms aren't responding to my brain. I have to let go but he looks so unsteady on his feet. Slowly, I realize that I must be moving closer to his face because Sky's eyes widen but I am not sure if it's fear or... is that lust? Oh my God I have to let...him...go!

With almost the last of my resolve ready to shatter, I back up and let go but I grab his hand and sit him down in one of the chairs in front of my desk. I was tempted to go and close my door but...well you know! So I knelt down in front of him and just lightly grazed that part of his left leg that he hurt earlier. Tingling is the only way I can describe what my fingertips felt and I have to hold my breath to stop the moan that threatened to slip from my lips.

I looked up at Sky and the look on his face said it all. In that moment I realized that no matter what happened, from this moment on I was going to do everything in my power to make him mine. Only mine! God he was blushing so brightly that his skin just glowed and the gut wrenching need was more than I could bear and if at that very moment Jacob had not walked in, who knows...

Jacob says, "Hey, what's gong on? Is everything okay with Sky?" Sky is still in his seat being very quiet and still. I look over to Jacob and say, "Sky was feeling a bit flustered so I sat him down for a minute." Jacob knows how I feel towards Sky and honestly there's a reason why he is like my second skin. Falling like this is not common for me and well quite frankly he has a soft spot for Sky so he does not judge me.

After a moment, Sky gets up and excuses himself mumbling that the client will be here soon enough. Jacob looks at me, "Breath, you should be relieved.", "How do you figure?" I ask him. And with a hugh grin on his face he says, "Because that boy is head over heels inlove with you my dear friend!" I look at him and agree instantly but I still have a frown on my face so he says, "Why are you still upset. I thought knowing this would please you?" I responded, "There's more to him than meets the eye. I just don't know. He just seems so withdrawn, lonely, just... scared. I don't know.", I sigh almost dejectedly. Jacob says, "What, are you going to let that stop you from having the one thing you want most in your heart? All you ever talk to me about now a days is Sky this, and Sky that. Chicken shit!" I looked right at him and with as much conviction as possible I said, "I never said I was giving up. Especially after the look on his face. I'm just saying that it's going to be a challenge." And for the first time in almost a year, I smiled at the possibilities.
