The video was grainy and dark, but as the porny-Zane thrashed on screen following each of Reed’s hard thrusts, moaning like a banshee, the real-life Zane let out a whistle, surprised by how tempting the video was. “Okay, I really am hot,” he said, sliding his fingers between Reed’s as his lover rested his head on top of Zane’s.
Reed laughed and kissed the back of Zane’s head. “You are. But I’ll be keeping this vid for myself.” He stalled, as if he were weighing his words. “Zane? You know I love you right?”
“What is it?”
“I really wanna smoke one more time…”
Zane now understood why pet owners found it so hard to resist big puppy eyes.
He exhaled, relaxing into the hug while their breathing synced.
“Fine. But just this once.”
Epilogue
“How on earth did you get Marty to put peanut butter and jelly pancakes on the menu?” Reed asked, shaking his head as he chewed.
If you can’t beat ‘em, join them. And Zane spent a lot of time at The Diner since he’d started working there in a greater capacity.
“I have my ways,” Zane said, humming with pleasure as he consumed the strange concoction in their favorite booth which offered a view of the neon sign by the motel. It was on despite it being a bright June afternoon.
How he’d gotten Marty, the homophobe, to like him would remain a mystery to Reed. One thing was certain—if Zane used his powers for evil, the world would soon be over.
“Black magic I suppose.”
Zane grinned and poked Reed’s calf with his boot under the table. “You know better than anyone what I’m capable of,” he said, winking. Such a flirt. It had been almost a year since their relationship had started, but the temperature simmering between them never went down.
Reed snorted. “Yeah, lying, arson, murder, but… you’re a really good fuck.” He nudged Zane back, just enjoying the lazy afternoon together while it lasted.
Zane was working on getting a high school diploma and was unexpectedly rigorous about studying. And his dreams of a big musical career? They weren’t extinguished, but he liked being free in a way a big career would have taken that freedom from him, so he seemed perfectly happy living a simpler life and earning his keep as an entertainer, both locally and online.
Their porn presence wasn’t exactly the hit Zane had hoped for, but their subscriber count was growing steadily, as was the revenue. This was the perfect time to reveal something Reed had been working on, but felt a bit too self-conscious to share, for fear it might not work out.
“So… I wanted to tell you something, but you can’t laugh, okay?”
Zane had leaned down to push a large piece of the pancake into his mouth, and looked up at Reed, still in that weird position. How he managed to be so cute doing that was anyone’s guess. “Hum?”
“I started a video editing course. You know, so our stuff looks more professional. And to use footage from more than one camera.”
Zane swallowed and licked jelly off his lips, gaze bright like the ocean in the morning. “When?”
Reed gave him a shy smile. “Last month. I do a lot of the coursework online, but I go to a class once a week, when you’re at school.” Which stretched their tight schedule to its limit, but now that they had some extra money from the porn, he could afford luxuries like education.
Reed didn’t know what he expected of Zane, but the smile stretching his mouth put him at ease even before Zane reached across the table to squeeze Reed’s hand. “That’s amazing, Roachie! Can you make my ass a bit more round with Photoshop?”
Reed stalled, but when Zane burst out laughing, it became clear he was joking.
“You’re such a dumbass. I just wanna learn about this stuff so we can up the quality, and get more savings before the porn bubble pops. I still can’t believe I’m doing this.”
Zane gulped down his coffee and leaned back, ostentatiously happy with himself. “I actually analyzed the data. We need to do more facials. Fancy one tonight?” he asked, once again teasing Reed’s leg under the table.
Reed could feel the flush trailing up his neck. How he’d gotten to the point where half the town knew he did gay porn on the side, he wasn’t sure, but here he was—unbothered that strangers could see him naked. He’d been surprised that he wasn’t jealous about all those people seeing Zane in intimate moments, but there was an element of pride in knowing he was the only one who got to fuck that gorgeous man, no matter how many commenters would have loved a piece.
“Viewers can’t get enough of you coming at the same time I drizzle your face.” Reed was still a bit too shy over bottoming on camera, but Zane had no such qualms and slipped into the role of a submissive guy, who was always horny for his boyfriend’s spunk. The reactions to their latest recording had been incredibly enthusiastic. In the scene, Reed had fucked Zane’s face in a slow, deliberate manner, and exploded all over it at the end. So damn hot he was still re-watching it a week on.
