Mark

It's 1AM the next Friday night. I'm sitting watching TV. It doesn't matter what it is that's on because I'm not concentrating on anything but Mark's knee touching mine. My gaze flows from his knee up his tanned thigh to the tan line and the leg of his shorts. I stop for just a few seconds admiring his thigh. How could I love his thigh? I do. Glancing onward up to his waist I got stuck again looking at the treasure trail from his navel downward. There's hardly a wrinkle of loose flesh on his stomach. I swallow hard. As I looked up past our arms laying side by side I notice he's been watching me the whole time.

"What were you doing?" Mark asks, grinning from ear to ear.

Ack! He caught me. What could I say? A little bit of truth came out of my mouth before I could stop it. "Just admiring the view," I said blushing.

Focusing directly into my eyes, he leaned over, tilted his head and kissed me softly. He swirled his tongue over and around my lips. The next thing I knew my mouth was open and there was some serious exploration going on. Isn't it strange how while your mind is still asking the questions a mile a minute your body can take over by itself? This is way better than the first kiss.

I took hold of Mark's arm, leading him with me as I began to stand up. He followed willingly only breaking the kiss for a moment. Once we were standing he made up for the loss of contact with a flurry of sweet kisses around my jaw. This tickles way too much! As I began to push him away he grabbed me around the waist pulling me closer instead. Looking into my soul he mouthed the words "I love you".

Whoa! Self-control be damned. My eyes started to tear up and my heart nearly burst. I've never been happier in my life! Slipping my arms around his waist I finally told the whole truth. "I love you too, Mark. I love everything about you."

Mark turned off the TV and we walked outside the building. Once we were outside we both reluctantly released our hold on one another. Even at this hour the air was still very warm. The sprinklers must've gone off. The usually dry grass was moist under our bare feet.

"I'm not very tired, are you?" He asked.

"Not at all man. Tomorrow's Saturday so I don't have to wake up for work."

"Cool. I don't have to be at work until midnight Saturday night. Waddaya feel like doin'?"

That question only added fuel to the fire feeding my mind. I thought, how about we drop right now in the grass and roll around for a while? No, I guess that won't do. I'm having a great time just being with him. I always have a great time with him. I guess I took too long answering.

"Well, any ideas?" he asked then started laughing. "Hahaha! You were thinking we could just drop right now and roll around in the grass for a while, weren't you? Weren't you?" He said nudging me with his elbow. "Some how I don't think doing that in the middle of the quad would go over too well. Hahaha!

"Hahaha! Ya know they say great minds think a like but that was just too scary! Hahaha!

"That grin on your face gave it all away, man."

"The grin is just something else we share, bud"

"So waddaya think? We could play some video games for a while." 

"I dunno, that sounds cool" The idea of sitting side by side with Mark was very appealing. "I haven't seen the sun rise in a while. If your game? We have the entire night, let's just wonder around for a while."

"Sounds great to me. Geez, there's a million stars out tonight." He paused while some other guys passed us on the other side of the street.

"Yeah it's great being away from big city lights to see them all." I commented. All I could think at the moment was that he was just as happy to be with me as I was being with him.

Once we were out of view of the other guys he moved closer to me and whispered, "You're the brightest star in my night."

Aww man that was just the best thing I'd ever heard. I noticed we were just a few more paces from a triangle set of evergreen trees at the corner. I'm done holding back. Ready. Set. I grabbed Mark by the waist and pulled him with me behind the trees where I kissed him long and hard, sliding one hand into his back pocket and my other hand sliding all around his back. We both got into this dangerous move. The knowledge that we could be caught easily while we were concentrating on each other only intensified the need to release some of the passion. After a few minutes we separated and continued walking.

"Umm, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining but what was that all about?" He asked while adjusting his shirt.

"I'm the brightest star in your night! Come on man! It just made me feel so good and I saw the opportunity so I went with it."

We walked in silence as we passed through the officer's residential area. Occasionally I'd glance over at him and see him looking at me with the same silly wide grin I was wearing. We made another right turn and started heading back towards the dorm. I glanced at my watch. It's almost 2:30AM. It didn't seem like we were gone over an hour. Mark had gotten a few steps a head of me so I picked up my pace to catch up. Once I did catch up it seemed as if he was walking faster. So I walked faster too. Then he went even faster. Damn my short legs! In a few moments we were running flat out for the dorm, laughing hysterically. Naturally Mark got to the dorm first and threw open the door. I was so close behind I didn't need to stop for the door. Mark was fumbling with the keys to his room as I as I closed my eyes and leaned against the wall catching my breath. I heard the door open and before I could open my eyes and stand up straight I was being pulled inside the room like a rag doll.

Mark had one arm around my shoulders as he closed and locked the door behind us. I swung my arms around his waist and back and pulled him close to me. Resting my head on his shoulder, kissing and licking his neck. He sighed and began doing the finest things to my ear lobe. I began to shiver almost uncontrollably.

"What's the matter?" he asked with genuine concern. 

"It's just... well, I've only been with one other guy before and that was just experimentation, you know? And I've had girlfriends, but they were nice Catholic girls so nothing ever happened. I'm sure I want this with you now. I wasn't sure last night. I want this to be the best for both of us. Let's just go slow and enjoy it."

"You’re a few steps past me then. I've never been with anyone before. The girl I went to the senior prom with, we didn't go too far either. I've always hidden my attraction to guys. But with you, these last few months have been terrific. I was scared when I got here; new environment, new people. You saved me from crawling in to my shell. I want this to be just as honest and open as the rest of our friendship."

God how did I get so lucky? We never broke our embrace as we shuffled over to his stereo. He flipped on the power and a light jazz station came on. He looked at me and asked with his eyes if this was okay. I nodded and started moving to the tempo of the music, resting my head on his shoulder once again. Mark started to move with me and rested his head against mine. In only a few moments I realized I could feel and hear Mark's heartbeat and mine becoming one. His hands were traveling all over my back as were mine across his. We were grinding slowly into each other as our calmed heartbeats quickened once more. Our hands headed south the song on the radio changed to something neither of us liked. We chuckled at the bad song and it's bad timing. Mark turned us around and flipped on the CD player. Steely Dan's "Aja" was already in there and started to play. No further searching for music needed to be done.

I slid my hands down to Mark's ass then back up to his waist. I clutched his T-shirt and pulled it up to his chest. Mark had mimicked the same moves on me. We pulled apart and helped each other get our shirts off. I put my hands on the side of his waist and allowed my thumbs to slide under and out of his waistband repeatedly. Mark took the signal and reached for the top button of my shorts. With a snap of his fingers the button was undone. He lowered my fly and the shorts dropped off to the floor. As I stepped out of them I caught up and removed Mark's shorts. He stepped forward two steps and I was on the bed. He continued his advance, kissing me deeply. I ran my hands down his back, slid them under his briefs, bringing them down to his knees where they then dropped to the floor. He rolled himself onto the bed on my side. Our hands became a blur touching and tickling each other. Almost overwhelmed by all this activity I started kissing and licking my way down his neck and chest, pausing briefly to tease his nips. I kneeled to better continue my descent kissing and licking his stomach. Mark slid his hands into my briefs and rolled them down my legs. He reached one arm under me and guided me into a 69 while I concentrated on the belly button and treasure trail I admired earlier. When I was in position he licked the dew from my sensitive glans for the first time making me moan loudly in appreciation. I responded in kind giving him a meticulous cock and scrotum tongue bath. We engulfed each other simultaneously sending waves of tingles all over our bodies. As we pleasured each other I could only wonder why thirty hours earlier I hadn't allowed this to happen. This is perfect bliss. The world could end now as long as I'm in my lovers arms.

Minutes passed while every gasp and moan communicated our desires. Mark's hands glided over the back of my thighs and around my buns occasionally squeezing. As if to say "me too, please" Mark spread his legs wider and bent them at the knees to give me access. I gladly obliged him. I thought I would give his cock a break and started working on his sack. He obviously liked that idea and ground himself into my face moaning loudly. When he settled down again I could almost hear him say "oh man that was too cool!". I lovingly tongue massaged both his testicles and as I began to lick my way back to his cock, his finger toyed with my virgin hole. Involuntarily I almost shouted "Oh yessss!" and ground myself onto him. I swallowed his cock again with more vigor. We were now very close to falling over the edge. I want him. With moans and grunts we warned each other of our impending climax and feverishly worked towards our common goal. No sooner did I realize I was loosing it were my efforts rewarded with the first shot of his sweet nectar. We emptied ourselves into each other for what seemed like an eternity. As we licked each other clean I started to chuckle. Soon we were both laughing hysterically again. I crawled around and laid on top of him, kissing his sweet lips once again. All our thoughts and emotions were silently transmitted through our eyes. Rolling off of him I snuggled close and kissed his cheek once more before we drifted off to sleep.
