(Barbarchi City, Archipelago)
(Hunter's House)

Well. I said it. And I did it as confidently as I could so Hunter wouldn't eye me suspiciously and question if I was definitely sure of my decision. I knew what I wanted and I knew that I wanted it with a friend who has only been open and honest with me, at the same time, still looking out for me. At the moment, I was just looking at Hunter after saying what I had. Confessing with no hesitation or breaking eye contact that I wanted him to help me because he's my friend and I trust him. So, I'm just waiting for Hunter to say something. Anything. We've been looking at each other, silently, for what felt like a long time, but only a few moments had passed since the words left my mouth. Finally, Hunter gave a gentle smile to me.

"You're absolutely sure that's what you want?" Hunter inquired.

"Positive," I replied.

Hunter leaned closer. "You have a full understanding of what you're asking for?"

"Yes," I answered.

"You're fully ready to experience what it's like to be with a man intimately?" Hunter stared into my eyes. Was he trying to make me change my mind?

"I am," I nodded.

Hunter got in close, our lips were just inches from on another as I felt his body shift to be like it was the night he told me he wanted to bang me, but wouldn't cross the boundary of friendship unless I wanted it. "And you want it all?" Hunter's voice was smooth, and just slightly deep enough to be considered seduction. Who was I kidding? That's exactly what he was doing. Or just being this way because not only would I get what I hoped for in this, Hunter would get to have me like he wanted. I was about to nod when he spoke again. "Tonight and right now?" That caused me to pause, and my eyes widen a bit. No, I didn't want to do everything tonight. Before I could say anything, Hunter gave me a light, quick kiss before retreating back to his spot and smiling. "I told you I'm all for this, handsome…And I know that you are sure of your decision to do this…But you're not ready yet. Don't push yourself before you're actually ready,"

Is that why he got so close to me and asked all those questions? To see if there'd be any hesitation? Well, he's not wrong. I got nervous to the idea of doing everything tonight, but I was still ready to start doing things. This was totally not how I planned my Christmas night to go, but I guess that's how it was working out.

"I wasn't…" I managed to get out, still recovering from that silk voice of his.

"Your eyes showed certainty towards knowing what you want and what you were asking for, then it slipped into nervousness and hesitation about going through with things," Hunter chuckled. "That shows me you know what you want, but you're not ready for it,"

"My nervousness and hesitation came from understanding I'm not ready to do everything tonight…" I mumbled a bit.

"Go on?" Hunter invited calmly.

"I know I want this. I understand what I'm asking for. And I'm ready to experience it…" I paused a moment. "I've never done anything with a guy before. Not even kiss, until you, that is…" I continued as Hunter was still looking at me, listening to the explanation. I knew he was looking for uncertainty in my words. "I'm not…Trying to push myself to be ready when I'm not, but I know I won't ever be ready if I don't experience things and get comfortable with them. So I guess what I'm going for is that I want to do everything…Just not all at once, at least not right away…"

Hunter was quiet, studying me almost to figure out what it was I just said. I felt like I made it clear, but maybe not. "What you're saying is, you want to work at things little by little, and get comfortable with one before going to another? Because this would allow you to move in sections with what is being done, getting to experience what it's like, but also let you decide if you still need more time to prepare for something else?" He asked.

"If that's okay with you?..." I hoped.

"It's fine with me," Hunter smiled. "In fact, it's more than okay with me," He nodded. "Now, I know you actually did give everything thought before you made your decision. Your response shows me you gave careful thought to this, not only deciding that you did want it indefinitely, but also how you want it go. You're setting your pace, and not allowing yourself to become overwhelmed that you do something before you're ready," He informed. "So yes, it's perfectly alright with me and as I said in the beginning…We'll go at your pace," Hunter stated, still smiling.

"I feel like you just tested me," I admitted.

Hunter laughed a little bit, but he nodded. "I did. As I told you earlier in texts, I've seen it happen before where others have said what they want, gone through with it, and ended up regretting their choice because they weren't ready. It always winds up being that they chose to do it because they just want to get it over with to lose the fear of it being new, which is okay to want to do, but not before you're ready. if someone chooses to just get it over with not knowing those limits, it doesn't actually erase the fear of doing those things, it makes it worse because then you're not only afraid to do those things again, you fear the next experience will also be bad," He explained.

"And I passed your test because I explained to you that I want to do this, but not have it happen all at once?" I asked.

"Because you showed me that you don't want to just jump in as you're not sure how much you're ready for. You want to move through different things slowly, stopping if you hit something you're not completely ready to push forward into doing. My test was seeing if you would set your limits and not push through. You passed because you paused to ask yourself if you wanted and were ready for all of it tonight, and you could convey to me with only reactions that you are not. What I did was put you in a situation that let you see, without a clear line of where your limits are, things can go too far. It would have made you uncomfortable, or scared. So while you answered my first three questions without any hesitation or nervousness, you realized on the last one that I was under the impression you wanted to do everything. And you were able to give me the sign that makes me step back to make sure we're on the same page." Hunter explained calmly, pausing to let me consider what he said.

"Also like I said," He started again. "A good partner will always understand, go your pace and help if they can. You, being new to these things, are the one who has the power to stay no, pause, and change your mind. And that's what you did tonight. You weren't afraid to show your partner, me, that you needed me to slow down, or stop because you wanted to make your limits clear and explain that you wanted to take things slow to get used to it all, work your way up at your pace to doing everything," Hunter continued. "So, I'm proud of you for saying something and being firm in your decisions regarding all this. Even if you didn't actually speak, I still got the message. That's why I told you that it was better to do this with a trusted friend over a stranger. A friend will move at your pace, and be able to see if your reactions and emotions have changed throughout the process. That way even if you fall short on words, the friend knows when to stop so they can check on you,"

"I find it both informational and interesting how much you know about all this," I remarked calmly.

"I made it my business to know a lot about it, but also, I'm just someone who enjoys gaining knowledge. Never know when it could come in handy. But for the sex stuff, it pays to know what you'd be getting into when that time comes," Hunter shrugged.

"And where did you get all this information? Books? Online?" I wondered.

"Wide variety of sources," Hunter chuckled. "So, out of curiosity here…I know you said you've never done anything with males before, but I assume you have with girls?" I nodded to him. "And how far did those experiences take you. I know about what happened with your most recent ex, but before her?"

"Why do you want to know?" I asked.

"So I can get a better idea of how to help you get used to things with a male. I'm aware some aspects between girls and boys are different, but some are the same," Hunter answered.

Okay, I guess I can't argue with that and I did ask Hunter to help me get used to things. My assumption was that by the end of all this, we'd be having sex. Hunter said we'd go at my pace, but it makes sense that Hunter wants to know what would really be considered working through that I still have to do. "I've had sex with women before. I didn't have any issues with getting hard until I started to question my sexuality when the attraction to guys began at nineteen," I informed.

"That makes sense. As I mentioned previously, your body will work against you if not in sync with your mind. It goes back to what I said about being mentally and physically prepared. You have to have both to make it work. However, back on topic…You admitted you weren't ready to go all the way with a male, but if you were having sex with women, there was likely foreplay involved?" I nodded to his assumption. "Handjobs and blowjobs?" I nodded again. "I feel like you would be okay with those because they don't differ from you had it done by a girl. There's change in technique, of course, but the action itself is the same. The stuff you would likely need to work with is the things you didn't do with a woman. Fingering, rimming, and fucking. But for now, we can just start with the things you have experienced before, just not with a guy. That sound okay with you?"

"Yeah, it's actually something I considered when you asked me to make sure of my choice…I know the things that I'd be likely be alright with doing because I've had it done in the past, and the only thing to really adjust to is that it's being done by a guy, not a girl," I agreed.

"I assumed it would just be easier for you to get more comfortable with all this if we went with things that wouldn't really be new for you," Hunter smiled, shifting to be right next to me now. I was looking in his eyes, but I felt his hand suddenly upon my thigh. I didn't flinch, I sort of expected somewhere in my brain that after the questions he just asked, Hunter might try to get closer and see if I was willing to do anything tonight.

"You…Seem to be very good," I paused feeling his hand shift up more, but his eyes were on mine, leaning in closer. "At assuming things and being right…" I managed to finish. Odin above, I did not think such small things would affect my ability to speak.

"I'm good at reading people, you figure out a lot by making eye contact," Hunter replied softly.

"Is that why you kept inching so close to me earlier when you asked questions?" I decided to ask.

"I mentioned before that I don't know you as well as I know my other friends, so until I do…I'm going to have to be incredibly close to you to read you," Hunter chuckled. "Unless, of course, I'm making you uncomfortable?" He wondered.

I shook my head to him. "I don't mind. I mean, it's different and new…But it doesn't weird me out and makes sense. If this were happening with a stranger, I'd likely be uncomfortable and messaging a friend to save me. With you, I don't mind and it's oddly kind of exciting," I admitted. "That probably sounded really creepy, and sounded better in my head. Please just ign-," I started, but Hunter cut me off by pressing his lips to mine. It lasted a few moments, and then he pulled away and I let a small whimper out as he did. I saw him smiling at me, using his other hand to caress and cup my cheek.

"You could also call it arousing," Hunter stated as I blushed a little. "And it's not creepy at all for you tell me that I'm turning you on, so I will most definitely not be ignoring you or anything you say," He winked. "I'm glad you're so comfortable with and trust me. Both of those are helpful in what we'll be doing together," Hunter said. "Just promise me you won't forget that it is always your decision and you will tell me if you become uncomfortable, feel overwhelmed, and most importantly, want to pause to take a few minutes or stop completely. I swear that I will never get upset if we're in the middle of something and you need a break or want to stop. Okay?"

"I promise," I agreed. I wasn't going to question Hunter about what he promised me in exchange for my promise. I assume it meant that he was going off of moving at my pace, or if the situation arose that I wanted to stop and he was already turned on, he'd just go take care of it himself.

"Good," Hunter smiled, pecking my lips with his. "Since we're alone this evening, would you like to try anything? You already know I want to fuck you senseless, but since you're not ready for that just yet…I'll settle for giving you a blowjob," He grinned. That was extremely blunt, and oh so enticing. Unable to find my words, I nodded to him. Blowjobs weren't scary, it's just the first time I'm going to be getting one from a guy. Hunter shifted a bit so our position would be better, and then he captured my lips again.

=Normal POV=
(8:45 pm)

It was definitely not something Trayden first saw happening this evening when they planned to hang out, and it was absolutely the farthest from his mind after the fiasco with his little brother at his parents' house, but here Trayden was on Hunter's couch with Hunter, and the two of them were making out after Hunter had offered to give him a blowjob. To Trayden, it's not like it wouldn't have eventually happened, but still. There was no harm in it, so why not? It's not like Trayden had to ask Hunter if he'd do it, Hunter very clearly stated what he wanted to do and was merely asking Trayden's permission if he could. Why should Trayden say no? He wanted to see what it was like with a male, and he was getting to experience it with Hunter. Trayden didn't see a downside to any of this, neither did Hunter as he was all for it.

/Lemon Start/

The two males hadn't moved farther than making out, it was always a good starter into other things. Hunter and Trayden were both no strangers to kissing and making out, given they'd done it before and there was no awkwardness in doing it. During the kiss, Hunter's hand slid down to Trayden's front and to his pants, lightly rubbing over where his length would be and it wasn't hard to locate because the making out alone was enough for Trayden to begin to harden. Soon, the distinct outline of Trayden's erection was seen strained against his jeans. Hunter moved his hand along the length before shifting his left hand to the belt buckle to undo it, but broke the kiss first, leaving Trayden nearly breathless.

"Me undoing this okay?" Hunter asked and Trayden nodded to him, blushing a bit. Trayden had never shown his privates to anyone but girl's he'd been with and his doctor. Suddenly, it was hitting Trayden that he was about to have a lot of firsts with Hunter. Trayden watched as Hunter fixed himself to be standing in front of him, then push him back gently and smiling before kissing him again. While that went on, Hunter's hands moved to open the belt then carefully held the metal part as he gave it a tug to pull it from the loops. "Lift your ass up a bit," Hunter said between kisses. Trayden did so as Hunter was able to use a swift pull to get the belt free of all the loops and then toss it somewhere.

Trayden felt Hunter's hands on the pants next, and before Hunter could ask, Trayden nodded for him to continue. Hunter smiled and worked the button to release, then the zipper slide down. Trayden nearly sighed in relief with some of the constraint lessened. "I'm sure that feels better,' Hunter stated as he shifted back a little more. "Alright to take them down with underwear?" He asked.

"You're fine with me being basically naked on your couch?" Trayden wondered.

Hunter chuckled a bit and kissed his nose. "You would not be the first of my gay or bisexual friends who have been bare ass nude on my couch getting a blow job," He winked. "And when we get to that point, you will not have been the first I've had sex with either. However, you are definitely now the hottest, cutest, and something that none of the others have done," He paused. "Made me want you through attraction, not drunk or bored, and more than I've ever wanted any other male before you," Trayden blushed intensely. "But for the record, no, I don't mind at all. I'll never mind having you naked on any piece of furniture or in room of my house,"

Trayden blushed more, adjusting his hips so Hunter could go through with pulling his pants and underwear down to his ankles. Hunter remained in somewhat of a crouch, giving a light push for Trayden to relax his hips, then Hunter got on his knees between Trayden's legs to be closer to the erect cock belonging to Trayden. The blushing got worse as Trayden saw Hunter looking over his length, but still smiling. "Are you having fun down there?" He asked.

"And soon, you will be having just as much," Hunter replied. "But I was admiring that you have a big cock and I was half-tempted to see if you were against the idea of me hopping on it for a ride,"

Trayden blinked a moment or two. "You mean me fuck you?" Hunter nodded.

"I enjoy being fucked as much as I like fucking someone. I don't mind switching, so in sex, I can be top or bottom," He stated as he placed his hands on my thighs, moving them up to my pelvic area and hips, he gave a little laugh. "Well, you can think about the idea of me riding you for next time," He winked. "Right now, I'm still dying to stroke and suck this beast," Trayden blushed. He didn't personally think his dick was more or less than average, but maybe the perspective was different of how a male looked at it over a female or doctor. "Am I okay to touch?" Trayden managed a nod, but all of Hunter's checking in with him before doing something further proved that this was a good decision and Hunter wouldn't do anything that he didn't want or wasn't ready for.

Hunter moved his hand to Trayden's length and just started with light touches at first, then gently wrapped his hand around the hardened appendage and started to bring his hand up and down. Trayden sighed out, a small moan escaping as well, which prompted Hunter to continue stroking the cock with slightly harder grips and faster speeds. Trayden's sounds were pleasant to Hunter, he enjoyed that they appeared to be of both pleasure and relief. When Hunter saw precum release from the tip, he brought his hand over it and then stroked down, making the slide easier and a louder moan came from Trayden's mouth. After a couple more hand movements, Hunter shifted his head forward to lick the underside of Trayden's cock from base to head, but he also watched Trayden's reactions.

Getting nothing but more moans, Hunter just went to work on Trayden's length with his mouth. Swirling his tongue over the head, tasting another bit of pre that came forward. Hunter kept at what he was doing, feeling Trayden's cock give small twitches in response to some things, which Hunter was going to make a mental note of for future sessions with the handsome hunk he had on his moaning on his couch from his touch. Going on the third minute of this, Hunter decided to lower his mouth fully, taking Trayden in and just about to the back of his throat.

"F-Fuck!" Trayden gasped in surprise of the action and feeling it sent through him. Hunter took a moment to see Trayden's slight increase in breathing, it was more like a pant, but not overly heavy. The man's eyes were closed, arms lazily at his sides and somewhat grabbing the couch cushion beneath him and his overall position was just a reclined slouch. Hunter wanted to smile, but not accidently involve his teeth in this, so he refrained from it and started to bring his head up and down, allowing Trayden to feel his mouth moving and giving light suction. Hunter continued his movements, only faster and always adding a little tongue over the tip. Trayden's moans didn't significantly change, but his breathing was becoming quicker and heavier.

Hunter decided not to drag it out too long, but it did appear Trayden had some stamina built up because someone completely new to all this would have cum already. Trayden had sexual encounters in the past with girls, and the last one was less than a year ago even if nothing came to penetration with the woman. Hunter's next time with his mouth at the top allowed Trayden to feel Hunter's hand up there as well and the two started moving in sync, allowing Trayden to be sucked and stroked faster and harder. The sensation was enough to bring him to closer to orgasm as Hunter took notice of Trayden's slightly louder moaning, and grip on the couch along with quivering legs that couldn't close because Hunter was between them.

It didn't take more than another fifteen seconds when Trayden felt Hunter bring up his hand and mouth, but the hand easily slid over the tip before Hunter went back down that Trayden was about to release. "Gods! I-I'm gonna cum!" Trayden cried out in pleasure. Hunter was grateful for the warning, he was able to tell the signs without one, but still. Hunter adjusted slightly so he wouldn't choke with Trayden's length at the back of his throat and not more than a few second later, Trayden came with another whine. Hunter stayed in place to swallow, only giving light pumps of his hand until Trayden gave that shudder of being on the brink of overstimulation. Hunter pulled off with a small pop and let go of the man's cock, now smiling and seeing Trayden lay still lazily reclined and basking in the orgasm's rush.

/Lemon End/

When it seemed to Hunter that Trayden was back to his senses, and had his breathing under control, the man stood up and let Trayden shift slowly to pull up his underwear and pants, then zip up and button them. Hunter was taking a drink from his cup when Trayden readjusted to not being so slouched and looked at him. "Enjoy it?" Hunter asked, finally sitting beside Trayden again.

"Do you even have to ask?" Trayden questioned, smiling a bit, still in his post-orgasmic feeling.

"Of course!" Hunter laughed a little. "Have to make sure I'm not losing my touch. I haven't sucked a guy to finish in forever. It's usually just a little pregame before the main event,"

Trayden blushed a bit. "Well, given I've never had your touch previously, hard call to make if you lost it or not based on my opinion," He stated. "But, I mean, you did bring me to finish and if I can just add, best blowjob I've ever gotten," Hunter beamed and leaned over to kiss Trayden's cheek quickly. "Did you want me to do it back for you?" He wondered.

Hunter shook his head. "I didn't do what I did with any expectation to get it back. This was for you," Hunter stated. "Let's get you more comfortable in doing things with a male first, then we'll revisit the idea," He winked. "You've never done it before, and to my understanding, it's not the same as eating a girl out. This would qualify as something new, and I only want you doing it if you're ready to, not out of repaying the favor. Okay?"

"Alright," Trayden nodded to him.

"Good, now since you don't have work tomorrow…I say we grab some leftover pie, refill drinks, cuddle up, and toss in a movie?" Hunter suggested.

"Is this a date now? Cuddle up with snacks, drinks, and a movie?" Trayden inquired.

"Are you opposed to the idea of it being a date between friends?" Hunter chuckled.

"Nope," Trayden shook his head.

"Then let's get this date going," Hunter smiled. Trayden nodded as the two got up to go get the snacks and drinks, then returned to the couch to find a move to watch. In Trayden's eyes, despite the situation with his little brother, today was good, and now his night was great as he got to spend it with Hunter.
