Click hereI went to Hunter with my problem. To my surprise, he urged me to call Kyle. I was a hotbed of insecurity. Hunter was a Brinks truck.
It was a fun call. Kyle told me Turner had left him for someone else, but they had run their course, and it was time for one of them to leave.
He told me how they had gotten the kids, and how Turner had left them without looking back. Now, Kyle was a single father of two and again trying to find his way.
I told him about Hunter. "He's how old and plays what?" he asked.
"23 and lacrosse."
"23 and lacrosse?"
"Yeah, isn't it awesome?"
"I guess so. It seems like a lot of work. I'm raising two kids. I don't want to date one."
I ignored the verbal slap and decided to parry back. "You would if you saw him."
"I'm googling him right now. . . . Holy shit, Michael, he's hot. He's also a scion. You know that right?"
"I do."
"You're a far cry from the boot heel now."
"I know."
As the call ended, we made plans to meet in Columbia for dinner the following Friday. Kyle told me to bring Hunter along.
Hunter refused to go. "You two need to meet alone," he said. "You have unfinished business. You don't need me there."
"I want you there."
"No, you don't."
"I do."
"That's nice of you to say. But, you don't."
He was right. Even as Hunter helped me tear down the barriers I had erected over the years, there was one he could not touch, and that was the hope of Kyle. It was always lurking, as I wondered what might have been and what might yet be.
I was anxious and nervous as I left for Columbia. Hunter walked me to the car, kissed me good-bye, and whispered "come back to me" in my ear. As always, he could read my thoughts.
I sped to Columbia, excited to see Kyle. He was seated when I arrived. He stood, and we exchanged a brief but warm embrace. To my surprise, I felt nothing but the warmth of an old friend. Despite the lingering hope of what might yet be, I had moved on.
We sat and talked before ordering. As we did, I barely heard a word he said. I was thinking of Hunter and his "come back to me." I decided to do it. I apologized to Kyle and told him why I needed to leave. He responded that he was happy for me. I kissed his forehead and headed back to St. Louis and the man and the life I had finally given myself to and loved.
When I arrived home two hours earlier than Hunter expected me, our bedroom door was closed. I was suspicious, so I opened it slowly, only to find Hunter in bed, curled up in a ball. He was asleep. I climbed in behind him.
"What time is it?" he asked as he awoke.
"9:15," I answered.
"Did Kyle no show?"
"No, he was there."
"What happened? You're back too early."
"I was sitting across from him, thinking only of you, and I wanted to come back to you. So, I did, and here I am."
Hunter rolled into me. For the first time, I told him I loved him. Then, I kissed him as hard I could. I felt more barriers eroding as I did.

Calico758 months agoLovely story. The first that I have read by this author and now I will read more. Michael and Kyle's relationship just wasn't meant to be. When they hit a roadblock, neither one was willing to fight for the other. I am so glad that Michael ended up with Hunter. Very well written!
SexHunter8over 1 year agoThis is one of those stories where someone really messed up. Kyle did nothing to apologize to the man who always made himself available to him, but I wish Michael had gone back sooner to confront him.
Anonymousover 1 year agoRfoxrfd,
If you are confused, then you must not be reading the story properly. It's basically just a bit of miscommunication and bad timings. Kyle dealing with his new sexuality struggles, Michael having a bit of trauma of the same thing happening all over again, and then Kyle luckily found Hunter who seems to be way more mature than the age difference shows. It's really not difficult to follow.
Anon from 4 years ago with "Life" as the title of their comment,
Nice try pretending to be smart when you literally mixed up all the character's names. The moment I saw that, the "accuracy" of your comment went straight down to 0.
Anonymousabout 3 years agoSo I really loved this story, but I can't deny the fact that I am not happy Kyle and Michael didn't end up together. Why did it take them 10 years to reconnect? Not taking anything away from the story because it was actually great, but I loved when Kyke and Michael were together and wish it would have stayed that way

I’ve literally had this convo after a blowjob with an astounded straight guy. Thanks for this in depth and well written story
Anonymousover 3 years agoThis was a great story. I loved Kyle and Michael together but they were only a thing for a few months and while they loved each other, they were unwilling to fight for each other even a little bit. Although Michael saw Kyle make great strides toward him and acceptance of a new sexuality, Michael wasn’t patient enough to even talk to him about some lingering limits. And Kyle knew he should have followed him, communicated his feelings and still he didn’t. He admittedly was even relieved when Michael left. Then both allowed years to transpire even while things in their life changes and they could’ve again fought for each other. This clearly yet sadly shows that neither was right for the other. But for Michael to find Hunter - who’s open sexuality, lifestyle, and acceptance by friends and family was a 180 from what Michael had ever had - was a lifesaver!! So glad that Michael realized this and stayed with Hunter. And Hunter’s selflessness to not just allow but encourage Michael to talk with Kyle showed an immense maturity and security in his love for Michael. HEA for sure. Hope Kyle finally finds his. Would love another story about that.
Anonymousover 4 years agoThis is easily one of the best stories I've ever read, it may just be my soppy gay heart but the characters are so perfect and their expressions and reactions are portrayed so genuinely and realistically. Amazing. I wish I could buy this as a book so I could reread it whenever I wanted.
Laura1234over 4 years agoI loved it also - especially the ending.
Laughing at this response (sorry forgot if you wrote your name)
“Wow
DavidPatrick can write! Great stories, not so full of sex that his characters aren't caracatures, but with doubts and worries.
A pet peeve: students are taught, a rope is taut.“
I was a little disconcerted with the “yolk” on the shoulders - I think that was this story?- I normally don’t mind spelling errors as long as they don’t leave me confused as to meaning;). But really excellent story And so grateful you took the time to write, I couldn’t have done as well. The editing can always be done by another, (although it was mostly excellently done editing wise) . It’s the story creation that’s the genius part!!
Nympho_Gameralmost 5 years agoThere were parts that had me cringing, biting my lip- dreading what might go wrong... but I looooved the story. The ending made me so happy!
Love, love, love it!
