We drove for a while down the road away from James house before I decided where to take him. After I figured out where to take him that wasn't far from his house I drove in that direction glad to spend some more time with James. I wanted James to feel like he could trust me and I wanted him to get to know me so despite him protesting I was going to take him to one of my favorite places today and shoe him that he could open up to me.
James was nervous all over again the whole drive my hand the only thing calming his down a little. I can't believe he actually thought I was taking him to Jett.
Wanting to show him that he could trust me I was taking him to one of my favorite places: West Lake Park Sanctuary. It was a beautiful park that was right up in the mountains, not too far from town and I went here when I wanted time to myself which was actually kind of often.
I pulled into the parking lot of the park and parked my Camaro.
"Uh Carlos what are we doing here?" James asked looking frightened all over again.
"I'm taking you on our first date" I said smirking at him and getting out of the car, not wanting to be left behind he got out and followed me but objected the whole time.
Carlos I really need to go home." he said over and over to me and when we got to the entrance he even stopped and looked at it like it was the gate to heel
"James just shush I will have you in an hour, just lay back and have some fun with me." I said as I held out my hand to him, he stood there and looked at my hand as if it was a huge barking dog, well technically it was in a way, but I didn't understand what he was so afraid of.
"I don't bite" I said motioning for him to take my hand, and wanting to chuckle at the irony of that.
I waited patiently for James to make his decision and finally he reluctantly took my hand and I held it tightly as we walked towards the entrance.
"Ah Carlos how good to see you again, it has been awhile since you have been here." A large man with glasses said as we approached the gate.
"Yeah I had some stuff going on but anyway this is James and he is new to the state so I'm just showing him around and I figured this would be a good place to start." I said motioning to James who was standing behind me head down, I pulled him forward a little and gave him a stern look before James nodded his head and whispered a quiet hi to Gustavo.
"Nice to meet you James, I'm Gustavo Roque, owner and founder of West Lake Park a sanctuary for wolves and where family can have fun." he said shaking James hand.
"What is this place" James asked looking around at the big park right in front of him, the park was bigger than it looked for behind the gated fences were beautiful wolves. Some young and old, or even their pups were with them, Gustavo never turned any wolf away no matter how old. Along with getting a tour to see the wolves you get to pet them and there was even a gift shop.
"It's a park that I built to protect the wolves that are becoming more and more endangered every day and Carlos here has actually been a volunteer here for quite a few good years, but not only is it for protecting the wolves it is also for teaching people how to protect the environment." Gustavo said.
Gustavo then patted Carlos on the shoulder and said "He has been one of my most loyal volunteers and personally my favorite."
"Oh stop it" Carlos said as he patted Gustavo back on the shoulder and pulled out his wallet. "How much you want today Gustavo"
"Carlos put the wallet away for you it is free today and anytime you want to come back but if you take him to meet the wolves juts be careful" Gustavo said with a smile.
"Thanks Gustavo and you know I am always careful with the wolves" I said as I took James hand and gave Gustavo one final pat on the shoulder before walking in through the gates.
"Have fun guys" Gustavo said waving to us and returning his attention back to the front gate.
"Thank you" I said and surprisingly James said it back this time with a big smile.
I pulled James through the park and I found him smiling and he seemed to relax more and more.
"Come on James I brought you here to have a good time and that is what I intend to happen" I said going to my favorite areas of the park.
"That guy was nice" James said motioning back to Gustavo.
"Yeah he really is, I came here a long time ago and have continued to come here whenever I can so he knows me pretty well." I said.
James was about to answer until I pulled him into a nearby office and said "I am going to take you out to meet my favorite wolf shadow, he came here a year ago and I helped to take care of him, I want to introduce you to a few more wolves to."
"You mean I am going face to face with them?" James asked looking scared.
"They won't bite, Gustavo had trained them very well and I helped train them as well, Shadow especially, just trust me ok, these wolves are sweethearts and when are you going to get another chance to pet a wolf." I said as I picked up all the keys for the wolves cages or at least the ones I was taking him to.
When I was sure I had all the keys I walked out of the office James in tow, he now looked a little excited as well as nervous. We walked towards one of the gates and I decided to take him to Shadow first.
The big gray bold wolf was standing at the other end of the gated fence but when he heard the gate open he looked over at us on alert and perked up his ears when he saw me.
"Hey boy" I said kneeling down waiting for the big creature to run my way. He let out a howl of happiness and ran toward me, when he reached me he licked my face and nuzzled against my neck.
"Miss me" I said as I pet the big wolf on his neck. He growled low in response and I smiled at the beautiful creature.
Remembering James I looked behind me and saw that he was staying as far away from the wolf as he could.
I frowned then said "James come say hi to Shadow I promise he's friendly he won't bite.
That's when I noticed that James was shaking and I actually saw how scared he was but I had to show him that if he can be near a wolf he could learn to trust me.
"James come on I know you want to pet him" I said and looking at Shadow I whispered "He is our friend don't hurt him in any way you can trust him as much as you trust me." Shadow grumbled low and I knew that meant he understood.
Looking back at James I stood up and motioned to Shadow who just stood there looking at James with curious eyes and James looking right back. Slowly he began to walk toward me and Shadow keeping his eyes on me the whole time.
"Look at Shadow James, he's just as nervous as you are, you are new to him and he's new to you, just show him you aren't here to hurt him" I said smiling when James was getting closer and closer to the big wolf and the wolf stared back at him looking not so afraid anymore.
When James was only a few feet away I said "Hold out your hand and let Shadow smell you"
"What?" James said keeping his hands crossed hidden away from the wolf.
"That way he can smell you and determine if he can trust you" I said standing my ground.
"O-o-ok' James stuttered as he slowly unfolded his hands and held them out to the wolf that waited anxiously. Shadow then reached out and sniffed James hand not growling or looking vicious. James just stood there waiting as if he thought that he was going to get bitten but I knew Shadow wouldn't do it. Shadow sniffed at James hand for a few more minutes before he licked it. I knew that was a good sign that Shadow liked him.
"That's means he likes you, go ahead and pet him" I said knowing how Shadow was and how he showed signs that he liked you.
James looked at me before he reached his hand up to gently touch Shadow's head and Shadow leaned into the touch loving the attention he was getting from someone who was new to him.
Forgetting that he was afraid James began to stroke Shadow between the ears and Shadow loved every bit of it and I smiled at how James had managed to open up to the wolf.
"Your right Carlos he is a beautiful wolf and I'm glad you encouraged me to pet him" James said.
"Me to" I said as I stroked Shadow on the back. We stayed with Shadow and played with him for a long time until I took James to meet some more of the wolves. I took him to meet Sunshine, Samson, King, and Snow White.
James really lost the fear of the wolves and loved playing with them and being with them, all in all it was a pretty good first date so far. After we were done visiting the wolves I bought James some food and while we ate I found out that his favorite wolf was actually Sunshine due to her bright personality, I smiled at his sudden enthusiasm and he even asked me if I would bring him here more often.
Once we had finished eating I was about ready to take James home until I remembered there was a nearby cliff that I loved to go to especially to clear my head and I think taking James there would be the best thing I could do on this date.
"There is one last place I want to take you" I said as I took his hand again and this time James eagerly followed me and didn't hesitate at all.
After a bit of walking away from the park James and I appeared over a cliff that looked over all of Minnesota or may as well have due to the great view. From the cliff you could see the mountains and all the lakes even the town right below. I sat down on a nearby rock with James and we stared into the sunset for the longest time.
"It's beautify isn't it" I said
"Yeah very" James said quietly and that's when I turned my head and caught his staring at me, deciding to mess with him I smirked and said "well I meant the view but thank you."
James blushed and turned away but said "Yeah the view is beautiful to."
"I see something else that is very beautiful as well" I said looking at James.
He blushed even harder before he looked down at his twirling hands and clearing his throat, and I smiled as I looked at the beautiful boy sitting next to me.
"I'm glad you convinced me to come out here Carlos I would have been bored all by myself, it has been very fun here today" he said.
"Does this mean that you trust me enough to start tasking you on more dates" I asked giving him a hopeful look.
"I say yes" James said not hesitating at all this time.
I nodded then turned back to the view and said "The sun is setting and this is my favorite part because you can see all of the colors."
"Wait sunset, oh shit Carlos what time is it?" James suddenly yelled as he got up off the rock panicking.
Looking down at my clock I said "Its five to six James"
"Oh shit shit shit no no no Carlos please take me home now! I need to be home!"
"Ok ok calm down James I will get you home" I said as I grabbed his arm and literally dragged him to my car.
I guess this was an emergency situation so he had to be home and I needed to get him home. When we got to my car I quickly unlocked it and we got in without saying goodbye to any of the wolves or Gustavo for that matter.
I quickly drove away from the park my Camaro speeding down the road, thank god there were no cops to because I was literally speeding, and god it felt good to drive again.
I sped to where his house was and as soon as we got there he almost jumped out until I grabbed his arm and instead of trying to pull away he looked at me and stared, I stared back expecting him to fight and when he didn't I actually struggled with what I wanted to say to him.
When I didn't speak I noticed James was leaning in closer to me much too slowly for my taste and before I knew what I was doing I grabbed the back of James neck and pulled him into a kiss. Our lips didn't move together at first but when I made the kiss more intense and started licking at his lips was when it turned passionate.
His lips were soft against mine and I heard him let out a small little moan, smiling and with difficulty I pulled away from the kiss and; looked at James.
The sight in front of me was mind blowing, James eyes were wide open, glasses fogged little and his mouth was half open, looking both stunned and filled with lust at the same time.
Rubbing his cheek I said "Get out of here I will see you tomorrow! After school, I don't care how much you argue with me, I'm taking you to a movie"
Still too stunned to even speak he just nodded and said "Yeah uh ok sounds good."
I smiled then let go of James and said "All right get outta here hot stuff your parents are probably worried"
He stiffened when I mentioned his parents and I began to grow even more curious, he stumbled out of the car though and slowly walked up to the porch, looking back at me every five steps. I could hear and feel his heart beating super-fast and he was breathing heavily as if he had just ran a mile, finally he approached the front door but before going into his house he turned around and waved at me.
I honked the horn and sped off quickly in my cat but little did James know I wasn't going home. Instead I parked my car where nobody could see it, thank God it was black and climbed into a huge tree that was right in front of James house and made sure I was positioned where he couldn't see me. I could sense trouble in this house and had smelt fear on James all day, and could tell that something was not right here so I was going to spy on James home life and see what he was so afraid about.
Honestly I was terrified of leaving James alone as well so if he needed me I would be right there with him, I would barge in if something was wrong, or if anyone tried to touch him, so setting down for the night I leaned against the tree and watched over my beautiful mate smiling remembering how I had kissed him.
James POV
"Oh my god he kissed me" I mouthed smiling huge and touching my tingling lips over and over. Leaning against the front door I smiled, that's when I noticed that the house was actually empty. My dad and his gang were probably gone out on a run and my mom was maybe at the casino gambling away all the money they had made.
"Thank god nobody is here" I thought as I went upstairs to my room knowing if anyone had seen Carlos they would for sure kill me. I did like being alone at my house because then I didn't have to deal with my dad or his obnoxious friends.
Signing I walked into my room and decided to get started on my homework, when I was in my room I went over to my desk and turned my lamp on. Taking out my books I took out my homework and tried my very best to stay focused but ended up daydreaming and doodling Carlos name all over my book covers and homework paper.
Yes I was acting like a little twelve year old but school girl with a big crush on the most popular boy in school but I really didn't care at this point, there was just something that I absolutely loved about the tall, tan, and handsome Latino. He had saved me from Jett and made my first day a little better not only that but he brought a smile to my face for the first time in a very long time. Suddenly it hit me that I had been on my very first date in my whole life.
"Yes yes yes" I shouted standing up and dancing all around my room and I was not even aware that a pair of eyes were on me and chuckled as I danced around the room, continuing to dance for a while I finally chilled out, and decided that even though I took a shower this morning I wanted to another one before I finished my homework.
Walking into my bathroom I stripped out of my shirt and jeans I turned on the water and made sure that it was hot enough before hopping in. I let the warm water run all over my body and I was careful not to touch any of my hurt bruises and I thanked God that Carlos had not seen any of them or else I knew he would start asking me questions
My mind again drifted to daydreaming again about Carlos and the way his lips had touched mine and hoe soft they would feel against my skin. Closing my eyes I pictured his gorgeous face and his gorgeous body. Those muscular legs that lead to that nice firm ass, and oh my God those abs that poke out beneath his tight black V-neck t-shirt, but most of all those gorgeous brown eyes that matched his gorgeous smile.
As I thought more and more about him I realized something felt weird about my lower half and looking down I saw that my dick was getting hard. My eyes widened for I have never had a hard on in my life, due to being on no dates and not being in a relationship with anyone.
Slowly my hand slid down to my dick and thought about looking at Carlos naked body, how yummy it would look without his clothes off. Moaning I rubbed the head of my cock and felt something sticky and realized it must have been cum. Good thing my aunt had talked to me a little about sex and I paid attention in sex Ed class.
Thinking more and more about Carlos I slowly stroked my hand up and down my cock, as I got the image of Carlos straddling me and kissing me all over my body. Again I moaned and began to stroke myself harder and faster.
"Carlos "I screamed as I released all over my hand and sank down to the floor panting heavily but with a smile on my face. Smirking at my dirty thoughts of Carlos I signed happily and decided before it got too late and before dad and the gang got back I better do my homework, so standing up I finished cleaning myself off before grabbing a towel and drying myself to my best ability. I couldn't wait for school tomorrow so then I could see Carlos again.
I wrapped a towel around my waist before I brushed my teeth and looked at myself in the mirror again. The bruises would heal but I hated that they were a constant reminder about the horrible life that I lived. Signing I walked out of the bathroom and over to my dresser for more comfortable clothes and I didn't realize that there was someone in my room with me.
I was about to remove my towel to pull on a pair of clean boxers until I heard someone clear their throat, and jerking around I realized with horror that Steve was in my room with me, he was sitting on my bed and had a smirk on his face and was looking me up and down. That's when I remembered I was in just a towel and at that moment I felt extremely uncomfortable as my half naked body was revealed to someone who I thought was creepy. Stiffening I just stood there and watched as he licked his lips then stood up and made his way to where I was standing, gulping I stepped back and away from him but he continued to back me up, but after my back hit the wall I knew I was trapped.
He closed in on me invading my personal space and was only a few inches from my face and saw something dangerous in his eyes.
He stared at me for a few more minutes with a dark look before he said "So kid I came to pick you up at school as your father arranged and um you weren't there."
I gasped with horror forgetting completely that Steve was actually going to pick me up after school but I was so caught up in Carlos that I didn't even think to tell him no and stay behind.
"So where were you James" Steve then growled to me as he grabbed a fistful of my hair and pulled my head farther back against the wall.
I gulped again and didn't answer him again and just continued to listen to him yell at me or waiting to see what he was going to do to me but whatever it was it wasn't going to be good.
"Where?" he yelled so loud the whole neighborhood could hear us.
Whimpering I said "I just stayed after school and walked home I forgot you were coming and I wanted to walk, I swear." I cried after this hoping he would not beat me up like my dad always does.
Chuckling at me he loomed over me and with his six foot three height and his smile turned into a frown, as his grip tightened and I cried out as he leaned into my ear and said "If me or anyone else in this very gang finds out that you are lying to us, you very well know what we will do to you, worse than what your dad does he just beats you and I think I can do even worse things to that pretty little face of yours, and I also if I were you I wouldn't test us, especially your father. You remember all those nights he beat you senseless and we joined in? Remember all those agonizing nights where you stayed up crying at the pain? Remember all the times we took you to the hospital because you were beaten so bad and lied saying that you fell? Now would you want all that to happen again because we both know that since you have been obeying your dad very well the beatings have stopped or haven't lasted very long and you better keep it that way or else you will be worse off and I know that you don't want that again"
"No" I whimpered at him.
Smirking he let go of me and said "If anything, your dad knows what we have wanted to do to you, so he may just leave you to us next time and your mom doesn't give a dam about what happens to you, nobody does, so watch what you do"
I just nodded my head out of fear and smiling Steve took one look at the towel wrapped around my waist and whistled before walking out of my room slamming the door shut. As soon as he was gone I slid down the wall and let out a breath I realized I hadn't been holding, and put my head in my hands crying hard. I lay down on the floor terrified out of my mind and wished more than anything that Carlos was with me.
After a bit my eyes dried out from the tears and I had no more room left to cry. Forgetting about my homework I stood up and tried my best to get dressed without shaking and when I was done I crawled into my bed, curling up and crying. I felt so alone and so empty, my family hated me and threatened to kill me if I dare have a life and make new friends, beat me up every chance they got and my mom even stuck me with cigarette butts burning my skin, and I had to use foundation to cover my bruises.
I wished more than anything that my aunt had never died then I would have a normal life and could be happy with friends and a family who truly loved me for who I was, but more than anything I wanted Carlos to be mine and even though I had only known him for a day I was drawn to him and I wished I could be with him, something deep down told me that I was meant to meet him. So despite my dad prohibiting it I would see Carlos again I would just be very secretive about it, I refused to let my dad stop me and I didn't care if I had to lie, so tomorrow I was going to go out with Carlos and forget my miserable life at home. I don't care how many beatings it took I was so used to them by now.
Closing my eyes and tuning out my dad and his gang making noise I finally managed to fall asleep dreaming about Carlos
The next morning Steve dropped me off at school again and I did my best to ignore his side touches and comments towards me. My only thought was on Carlos. But ever since I got out of Stevens car I hadn't seen him and my heart sank. Signing I made my way to my locker deciding that Carlos was too good to be true. Second day of school and now I felt like I was going to be going through it without Carlos. As I picked up my book for math class a hand suddenly snaked on my shoulder and a voice said "Hey there sexy"
I jumped a little but relaxed when I turned around and saw Carlos, my heart skipped a beat and my face heated at the sight of him. He was wearing tight black jeans with black converse and had on a tight blue t-shirt that of course showed off his abs and pec muscles. He had his black leather jacket on that wasn't covering all of his shirt thankfully, I blushed really bad and felt self-conscious in my jeans and a purple shirt on with a white sweater vest covering it while he stood there looking like a God.
"Ready for tonight" he said leaning closer to me so now I was pinned against the lockers his body pressing against mine and he was inches away. The smell of him is intoxicating and I had a hard time controlling my arousal when I was near him.
"Y-y-yeah" I stuttered trying to contain myself.
Smiling he leaned forward so his lips ghosted over mine and he said "See you in English " and he turned around and walked away with a sexy smirk in his face.
"What the hell" I thought as I stood there too stunned to even move, dear god this boy was a tease, and laughing about that a little I walked to my first period class and waited for third period to come. This time instead of sitting by myself I sat next to Jo and Camille who at first looked surprised but smiled and I and Camille even said "So how is school treating you now?"
"Better now that I know some people here aren't evil" I said smiling to the girls and they said "Aw James you are sweet."
The rest of the period was spent trying to solve math problems but on occasion I would sneak notes to Jo or Camille and would talk to them, and during this talk Camille even told me she was glad to have a new friend and I smiled glad that she and Jo accepted me as their friend.
When math was over I made my way to 2nd period and this time sat down next to Dak which again he was surprised as well, I knew I wasn't allowed to do this but dam it I wanted friends.
"Hey James I'm surprised you are sitting next to me, thought you didn't like us" he said smiling at me.
"I was just nervous Dak" I said hoping he would by it. He did and we spent most of history listening and talking a little.
Finally the bell rang signaling third period English and I literally darted out the door excited to see Carlos. But as I ran out the door I bumped into someone and heard a voice say "Watch it fag" and I knew right away that it was Jett, I stiffened expecting him to give me trouble but surprisingly he walked right by me and shrugging it off I was ready to run to English until someone grabbed my arm and I turned to see Carlos standing there.
"Wow someone is eager to see me" he chuckled taking my hand and leading me to English class ignoring all the gasps and jealous looks that we were getting.
"Uh" I said not really sure what to say to Carlos.
"Are you always this shy and quiet?" he said giving me a sexy look.
"Yeah just around new people" I said giving him a little shy smile and he grinned wide at me.
"Well I hope you are ready for tonight because I have a surprise for you" he said his grin growing bigger.
"Really? Well what is it?" I asked curious now.
"If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise now would it" he said as we walked to our English class.
"Come on Carlos" I said with a little whine and pout.
"You're cute when you pout" he said kissing me on the cheek.
"Carlos people are staring" I said looking around.
"Loosen up and let them look" he said and before I could respond he pulled me into English class and took his seat next to mine. I sat down next to him and tried my best to ignore some of the whispers and looks that we were getting from other people, some girls looked jealous as well but I was finally able to ignore them especially after I thought more about tonight with Carlos. During class Carlos got called out and ended up having to leave, but he promised me he would be back.
After he left I looked after him knowing something was up and that something was definitely weird about him, but yet mysterious and that's what I found myself attracted to especially when Carlos was fidgeting a lot now that turned me on. I knew I was falling hard for him but would have to lie a lot in order to see him but right now I didn't care.
Well that's it for this chapter hope you enjoyed it and please review and give me some feedback that would be much appreciated.
