Red Shadows. Gaby Crumb
someone and you feel now right to break my balls? You were clear yesterday and although I don’t like it, I do accept it. Now l I’ll be clear with you. I'm eighteen, I'm not a child, and I do whatever I want with who I want. If you and my brother don’t agree, it is your problem. Moreover, do you have nothing better to do than control myself while he fucks his girlfriend?»
Amused I approached him and pushed him into one of the bathrooms.
«I do not think your brother has taught you to speak to other people in this way ...»
Those lips, those damn lips were like the call of a siren. He was pissed off and his breathing quickened and damn ... I wanted him so much. Having tasted him only had made me hungrier.
«What the heck do you want, Sean? You want me to go home by midnight like Cinderella? Do you want my ass remaining chaste? Well you arrive a bit later for that.» Ash snapped.
Anger and jealousy came back loud and pushed my desire of him to the limit. I shoot up him pasting my mouth to his. I knew I wanted him, I felt it, but he pushed me away. His eyes blazed and fuck he was even more beautiful so surprised and angry.
«I will not kiss you only to be rejected, Sean. I want you, but I know that then your paranoia will be back. I may be only eighteen but I'm not so stupid to hurt myself.»
Without another word he passed near me and left the room leaving me with an hard cock and an open mouth like a fool. I had vastly underestimated him.
When I came out of the bathroom I looked for him with my eyes. He was sitting at the table with his friends with a beer in front. I tried to look inside of me for all the good reasons that were supposed to convince me to stay away from him and turn my attention to someone else, when the King’s doors burst open and a young girl began screaming for help. I went running toward her, and when she saw me he looked at me with big brown eyes full of tears.
«Two guys..., down the road are beating my brother ...»
Axel and Colin were close to me and just a look between us was enough. I retrieved the gun that I kept tied to the ankle and I released the safety catch. We ran to the end of the alley and saw two boys intent to take another kick. They did not hear us coming and when we were close enough, I pointed the gun and screamed.
«Let him go or I'll blow your head off!»
In my peripheral vision I saw Axel and Colin also point their guns and advance slowly. I was not sure if the two bastards were not armed, but it was too late to think about it. They turned, raising their hands, laughing.
«Be quiet, Shadow, we were just doing two caresses to our friend. You know that if Lucas wish we can take you all down. But our boss has a soft heart and want let your shit people to become part of the Devils. Your friend here has declined the invitation so rudely and deserved punishment.»
They took a step back and then another, always with a mocking smile Colin and Axel came to the lying boy, while I remained motionless staring at the two Devils. I saw them look and move an arm ... it was at that moment that I fired. Axel and Colin did the same. We took them both. One to the thigh and the other to the shoulder and again we shot before they had time to take their weapons. They started to run and we fired again. One of them was hit again and fell to the ground, the other races and reached a car. We left him go and we approached the one to the ground.
«You know what is the fault of you bastards? That you are too sure, tough, arrogant, but you have no brain. The next time you step into my territory, that you hurt one of my neighborhood I'll send you out to your boss in a plastic bag.»
I bowed, grabbed his face and shook his jaw as I pressed on his wound with my foot.
«If you can not die, tell your boss that he should very well know that he should not piss me off.»
I rose up and turned to Axel.
«Take this dick out of my territory. Leave him somewhere, I do not care if he does not survive.»
I waited for Axel and Colin to go away and turned to the voices behind me. Near the boy lying in the street there was Connor and Ryan. I looked at the latter that he gave me a nod. When I moved my eyes on Connor my message was clear. He would take care of the beaten boy.
I went back to the King and decided to go home and when I reached the car I found Ash leaning against the hood. He looked at me silently and I surrendered to the need I had of him beside me. I opened the door and before getting in I looked at him.
«Come on.»
He did not answer and he went up putting himself in the passenger seat. I was not interested at that time if someone would see us, I would have thought about it the next day. We made the trip up to my house in silence. There was not a heavy silence of those who do not know what to say, it was just a waiting silence. Waiting to be alone, safe, together. Waiting to give ourselves the certainty that between us there was something we could not ignore, like my need to tighten him, kiss him, touch him. As his need to stand by me because he knew how much I hated to hurt someone. He was a boy but knew me very well.

The entrance was lit by a small lamp as we entered into the house. I ever let it turned on as my mother had taught me, so as to avoid crashing on the mobile at the entrance as I tried to get to the switch that was not next to the door. I had never been able to understand why my father had put it in a so awkward position and he had never move it somewhere else.
I removed the gun from the ankle where I had shed it after the clash with the Devils and leaned it on the table watching it. Ash came up and clasped my hips making me turn towards him. I wanted to say something, but I did not even know what. It seemed almost absurd that he was there with me, it seemed absurd that I wanted him exactly where he was.
«Ash, I ...»
«Shh. We'll talk later. Now you need to take a shower and relax a bit.»
He took my hand leading me to the bathroom and I wondered if he'd taken a shower with me. He told me he did not want me to kiss him, and I understood. Between us there could not be just a fuck. For the bond that I had with his brother, the respect I had for him, but above all, because of what I felt it was beyond a fuck even if I struggled to admit it.
In the bathroom, he turned on the light and opened the shower, then went in front of me. He pulled the black T-shirt and opened my jeans while I was trying to take off my shoes with my feet.
He waited until I was in bare feet before pushing my jeans and boxers down. I was naked in front of him and did not know whether to undress him or not. He pushed me into the shower. I turned to look at him holding him. I do not want him to move away, questioning him silently. He let go my hand, but smiled sweetly.
«Come in. I'll be there in a minute,» Ash said to me in a sweet way.
But I did not move. I watched as he undressed, eating him with my eyes.
«Come on, Sean, enter into the shower.»
While the hot water bathed us and he closed the shower door, I looked at him and smiled.
«You're making the part of an adult with me, little boy?» I said smiling.
«You'd be surprised to know how much I am, despite I’m only eighteen.»
«You like to say it, don’t you?»
«What?»
«That you now are eighteen.»
He took the shampoo and poured a bit on the hand before distributing the liquid on my hair. His hands were pleasant, but I wanted to kiss him. I wanted to kiss him so much that I could not seem to think of anything else.
«Nothing has changed Sean. I knew who I was and what I want yesterday that I was seventeen,» he answered.
I heard him, but I could not answer, focused on
