have the entire weekend together.
He was finally going to have Max inside of him, filling
him, completing him.
Still smiling as he sat down at the piano, the music that
flowed seemed sweeter than ever and Jaylin was truly happy.

SLIPPING from around the corner, as Max left the music
room and walked down the hall to his next class, Trent
Miller grinned.
He had stood outside the door, with it cracked just
enough to allow him to hear the conversation inside and now he knew for a fact that Max and Jaylin were fucking. No one had believed him, but he could prove it now; he had even
heard them saying they loved each other and making plans
for some twisted weekend together.
This is perfect! I know just what cabin Max is talking
about. And I think I’ll have a nice little surprise wanting for
Max and Jaylin.
He was going to make good on what he had told Jaylin.
He was going to make certain Jaylin and, more importantly,
Max, learned an important lesson.
And he was going to enjoy making them suffer.

BY Friday, Jaylin was buzzing with excitement and
anticipation, thinking about an entire weekend with Max.
It was more than just knowing they would be having sex
for the first time. This was a chance to be completely alone.
No one would find them. No one would walk in. He could
hold Max’s hand and kiss him and not worry; they could be
completely free and affectionate. Max was just as eager and ready for their time cut off from the world.
Jaylin was honest with his mother. He told her he would
be with Max, but she didn’t object, It was obvious to her just how serious he and Max were and she wanted them to be
happy. She worried for Max, what would happen when Chad
finally learned his son was gay, but she had already assured Max and Jaylin that they had her full support.
“If Max needs a place to stay, after Chad has his
meltdown, he can stay here. He’s a good boy and I won’t let
Chad toss him out onto the streets.”
“Mom, you are, without a doubt, the best.”
“Hardly. I just love you and I want you to be happy.”

It meant a lot to Max too, knowing they had Kayla’s full
support. He wished his father could take a lesson from her, but he never would. And he was working up to the moment
when he had to face Chad. He was nervous, but determined
to take control of his life. Being with Jaylin was the most important thing to him and Jaylin knew his love was eager
for their time alone. It showed in Max’s eyes when they had a chance to talk before the game.
Max was having a great season, as everyone expected,
and he pitched a great game. Some of his teammates wanted
to party after another big win, but Max told them he had
something to do, and he was in Jaylin’s SUV at fifteen after eight.
Fresh from a postgame shower, his hair was damp, his
eyes dancing, and as they drove out of town, Jaylin held his hand.
Max was always pumped after a game. He was filled
with an emotional energy and Jaylin loved seeing him so
happy. He especially loved that Chad hadn’t been there to
ruin it. Max’s father tended to pick apart how he played; win or lose, he always found some sort of flaw, and the constant nagging never failed to make Max feel bad about himself.
Bastard. Max is wonderful. Anyone who can’t see that is
a fool.
As they drove toward the cabin, they talked easily, as
always. Jaylin had already gone to the drugstore right after school and he had gotten everything he felt they would need.
He was excited, a little nervous, but he knew it would be

wonderful and Max would certainly take enough time to
make sure Jaylin was ready for him.
They reached the cabin at nine and they quickly
gathered everything and went inside.
Max flipped on the light, and Jaylin looked around,
finding the room to be spacious and rugged with the living
and kitchen in one. Max said the master bedroom was to the
right and it had a very spacious private bath with a hot tub Max had already said he wanted to put to good use. Jaylin
liked the idea.
Setting their bags down, Max hauled Jaylin into his
arms, landing a hard, hungry kiss that had Jaylin clinging
helplessly to him when they finally broke apart and Jaylin
laughed.
“I have you completely to myself.”
“Indeed you do. So what do you plan to do with me?”
Max grinned, pulling him into another kiss, and Jaylin
melted against him, sliding his hands down his lover’s strong back. Already, his heart was pounding and he felt
lightheaded. Max put all he felt into a kiss. He didn’t hold back; he gave and demanded, and Jaylin soon had his hands
beneath Max’s shirt, savoring the feel of smooth, warm skin.
Without prompting, Max lifted his arms, and Jaylin
pulled the T-shirt over his head, dropping it to the floor, fingers moving to unbutton Max’s pants.
“Eager?”

“Always eager for you,” Jaylin whispered, gasping when
Max began kissing his neck.
“Need you. Naked. Now.”
Grinning, Jaylin stepped back, just far enough to pull
off his own shirt, which soon joined Max’s on the floor. It wasn’t the first time they had undressed together. They had certainly spent a lot of time naked, but this, this was
different; this time, they were crossing an important line and every nerve Jaylin possessed was alive. He could feel
excitement and desire making his heart pound and he
wanted this, wanted Max, more than he had ever wanted
anything, and he could see in Max’s eyes that he felt just as eager and excited.
Stepping close again, he leaned into the touch when
Max cupped his cheek, his thumb brushing gently over
Jaylin’s full bottom lip.
“You’re too good to me,” he whispered, but Jaylin shook
his head. “I’m serious. I have to put all these restrictions on our relationship and you never complain. It’s not fair to you.
But I swear, that will all change, Jay. It won’t always be like this.”
“I know that. And it’s okay.”
“You deserve better….”
“You’re the best there is, Max. And you are all I want.”
Max smiled at that, pulling him close again, but before
their lips could touch in a heated and desperate kiss, they 45

both jumped, startled, as the door leading into the bedroom opened and Jaylin felt ice-cold fear wash over him when he
saw Trent step into the living room.
And he wasn’t alone.
Lane and Hank were with him, the lapdogs that they
were, but there was another guy and Jaylin recognized him
as Trent’s cousin, Greg, a twenty-one-year-old high school
dropout known for being a violent troublemaker. He had
been arrested a dozen times, and was a true badass where
Trent only liked to think he was one. But together, Jaylin
knew they would be a force, and Lane and Hank would do
whatever they were ordered to do.
“Me and some of the boys got plans for you and Maxie.
Just you wait, fag boy. I’m gonna get both of you good.”
The words came back to him. The threat he had
considered idle and hadn’t taken seriously had obviously
been more than idle and Jaylin could tell by the way Trent
and Greg looked at him that he and Max were in serious
trouble.
“What the fuck are you doing here?” Max snapped from
his shock first, moving to stand in front of Jaylin, in an
obvious effort to protect him. “Get out of here! I don’t know what kind of game you’re trying to play, Trent, but my dad
owns this place and it’s private property.”
“Your dad? Are you kidding me? As if your dad knows
what you’re doing here.”
“Trent….”

“Come on, Maxie. I overheard you and fag boy talking in
the music room.” Trent laughed a loud, barking laugh that
echoed hate. “I know you two came here to fuck. And me and
the boys, we’ve got a good look at….” He waved a hand in
their direction. “We saw what you two have been doing, and
it’s disgusting! Both of you make me sick.”
“What we do is none of your business.”
“We’re making it our business.” Greg moved to stand
beside his cousin, his greasy brown hair long enough it fell to his shoulders. “When Trent here told me there were some
fags running around town, I wasn’t surprised to hear about
Jaylin, but you, Max….” He shook his head as he pulled out
a cigarette, taking his time lighting it. “I got to say, Max, I was pretty amazed to find out you were now playing for the
other team. And Trent’s right. It’s disgusting.”
“Just leave us….”
“You don’t give the orders here, Max,” Trent fired. “We’re
in control.”
Swallowing back his fear, Jaylin moved from behind
Max to stand beside him and Max reached for his hand.
“We’ve never done anything to you,” Jaylin reasoned,
trying not to show how afraid he felt, as he looked from Trent to Greg and back again. “What we do doesn’t impact you.
Just leave us alone, and….” His words faded when Trent
reached behind his back and withdrew a handgun from the
waistband of his jeans. Jaylin glanced at Max, who stared at Trent.

“Shut up!” Coldly, Trent barked the order, but Jaylin
noticed an almost frightened look pass between Lane and
Hank. “You both shut up and do just what we say, or I blow
your brains out and smile while I do it.”
“Trent, man, what the hell?” Lane seemed suddenly
pale. “Dude, you said we were gonna give them a scare, but a gun…. Man, that’s hard core.”
“We didn’t sign up for any deep shit like this.” Hank
shook his head. “Put the gun away and let’s get out of here.
Let Max and Jaylin do whatever they want. I don’t want any
trouble.”
“You two shut up and do what Trent and I say or that
gun will be used on you.”
The threat from Greg ended any protest from Lane and
Hank and Jaylin knew they wouldn’t question Trent again.
“Trent, put the gun away,” Max spoke, voice firm, but
Jaylin knew he was afraid.
“I got the gun. I give the orders.” Trent grinned and it
was a sickly, twisted sight as he glanced at Hank and Lane.
“Hank, get the bag I left in the bedroom. Now!” Clearly willing and ready to do anything required to save himself, Hank
jumped and ran back into the bedroom, returning quickly
with a leather duffel bag.
He handed the bag to Trent, who passed it to Lane. “Get
a pair of handcuffs out of there.”
“Trent….”

“Do as I say, Lane!”
Hands shaking, Lane followed the order and withdrew a
pair of handcuffs. Jaylin found himself pushed firmly behind Max, who seemed determined to protect him, despite the fact he was in just as much danger. He would do anything to
protect Jaylin, but Jaylin felt the same intense need to keep his lover from suffering and he wondered what, if anything, he could do or possibly say to reason with Trent.
“Hank. Lane. Get Jaylin.”
“No! No way! You stay the fuck away from him!”
Hearing the malice in Max’s voice, seeing the rage in his
eyes, Lane wisely hesitated and Hank looked ready to bolt.
“You two, do it now! And Max, you got a choice.” Trent
took a step closer. “You can let the boys here take Jaylin and handcuff him to the bed, sitting up, so he can see the action, or I can put a bullet in his brain. And believe me when I say I’ll kill him. I’ll blow his brains out. Do you want that? Is that what you want? You want to see your lover’s head explode?”
Stepping from behind Max again, Jaylin squeezed his
lover’s hand, and Max looked at him, stark fear evident in
his eyes.
“It’s okay.” But it wasn’t and they both knew it, but
Jaylin knew he had to keep calm. He had no other choice,
because he had to keep Max calm. “Just…whatever happens,
I love you.” God, this was so unfair. This night was supposed to be perfect, their first night together, but it had become some twisted nightmare. And it was far from over. Jaylin was 49

certain Trent had something horrible in mind for them, but
as long as he had the gun, there was nothing he or Max
could do but follow his orders and pray they would live.
“Jaylin….”
“He has a gun. If you try anything….”
“Listen to your boy toy, Maxie. If you try anything, you
both die.”
Angry, terrified, Max looked from Trent to Jaylin,
nodding slowly, but his grip on Jaylin’s hand didn’t ease.
Jaylin had to pull away from him and doing so nearly killed him. More than anything in the world, he wanted to throw
himself into Max’s arms and hold on forever. He wanted to
close his eyes and reopen them to find all of this was nothing more than a bad dream, but that wasn’t going to happen.
God, please let us get out of this alive
