Body Checked By My Straight Captain Chapter 08
My legs are still shaky. My face feels hot enough to burn. And I cannot stop hearing that voice.
Good boy.
Knew you’d sound pretty when you came, Prince.
Every time I replay it, shame twists through me. So does something else…
And that’s worse.
Only when I’m sure Connor is gone do I unlock the bathroom and step back onto the empty bus.
For a second, everything feels unreal. Like I’ve been somewhere else.
Like maybe none of it actually happened.
I step off the bus and follow the guys into the gas station.
The lights inside are too bright. Everything feels too… normal.
Then I see Connor. I go straight to him, and he looks up, raising an eyebrow.
“Blaine?”
“Why did you do that?”
Connor frowns. “Do what?”
“Wait outside the bathroom and…” I can’t bring myself to complete the sentence.
The confusion on his face is immediate. “I didn’t wait for you. I thought you wanted space.”
My stomach drops and the world tilts sideways.
I turn too fast, needing air, distance, anything —
And slam straight into a solid chest.
Hands catch my arms.
Jace.
He looks down at me, amused.
“Have fun in there, Prince?”
My whole body goes still as stone. I look down.
There’s a dark damp patch at the front of his jeans.
My blood runs cold.
Holy shit, it was Jace.
