Chapter 91 Strokes

• "I've wanted you since that first night. I kept telling myself that Jerry was the gay one. I thought I was just being competitive with him over you. I knew Jerry wanted you, he told me, and kept telling me. So I spent more time around Amber, I guess hoping to prove to myself that I was straight. But it was pretty awful. I had trouble keeping an erection and I worried about what you were doing. I've seen the way Dave looks at you. He gets hard whenever he looks at you."
• I'd seen him hard, of course, but for some reason I assumed I didn't excite him because he was straight. That seemed pretty dumb of me.
• What was Dave doing? If he got hard every time he looked at me, why didn't he answer the door? I sighed. Because he didn't want to admit he was gay. He was avoiding me because I made him question himself, not because he wanted to snub me or didn't like me. He liked me too much. He said he would love to raise a baby with me. He had some serious internal issues to deal with. Dave was going through the same thing Keith had. Why should I be surprised? Keith and Dave were very similar. But why me? Why did I tempt them? I was hardly irresistible.
