avenue—one that’s part of your makeup but wasn’t something you were ready for as an adolescent. In case it isn’t obvious, I’d be happy to help you test the waters.”
Temptation, dark and forbidden, swirled inside him. “I don’t know if I can.”
“We could try another kiss.” Lexy slid his hand around to rub Huv’s back. “You seemed to like that until your inhibitions got in the way.”
Huv couldn’t believe he was even considering this, let alone about to do it, but he licked his lips. “Just a kiss?”
Lexy leaned closer. “Just a kiss. We’ll take it nice and slow.”
Moving as if he was afraid he’d spook Huv, Lexy eased in. All the while, he ran his hands up and down Huv’s stiff back. Lexy’s warm breath mingled with his, followed by a gentle brush of lips. Feeling awkward and more than a little nervous, Huv cupped Lexy’s cheek. The prickle of stubble threw him off.
With a soothing murmur, Lexy planted coaxing pecks at the corners of his mouth. The simple caresses made Huv’s heart slam against his ribs, and heat blossomed under his skin in a rush. Groaning in surrender, he finally caught Lexy’s mouth in a full, passionate kiss.
The moment he let go, his erection sprang to aching life. He gasped, which was all the invitation Lexy needed to slip his tongue between Huv’s lips. The world tilted, and Huv fell back onto the couch with Lexy sprawled over him.
It wasn’t the same as having a woman on top of him. Instead of soft breasts and rounded curves, the body pressed so intimately against his consisted of lean, hard muscles over a strong frame. There was also no mistaking the bulge rubbing against his thigh.
Jolted by the feel of another man’s hard-on, Huv made a small sound of distress.
“Shhh.” Lexy reached up to massage his scalp, sending tingles of pleasure up and down Huv’s spine. “Just a kiss, remember?”
Huv didn’t have time to respond before he was swept up again. Their tongues dueled; their hands roamed. Arousal shoved aside his doubts. He wanted more.
Clutching Lexy’s butt, Huv began to writhe beneath him until he was rhythmically grinding his hips upward. Nipping Lexy’s lower lip, he opened farther. He reached up to tangle his fingers in Lexy’s curls, which were even thicker and softer than they looked. On a spasm, his cock sent up a warm spill of precum. Huv kicked his head back with a moan.
Above him, Lexy’s cheeks were flushed, and he was panting when he pulled back. “You have no idea how much I want to make love to you.” With the backs of his fingers, he stroked Huv’s face with a touch so gentle it made everything go still inside him. “Is there anything I can do to make that okay for you?”
Words knotted in Huv’s throat, leaving him speechless. Even his thoughts were contrary: Yes, I want you. No, I can’t make love to a man. You’re everything I want, except I want a woman. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing.
Huv felt another soft caress on his face, which made him realize he’d squeezed his eyes shut. He opened them to discover Lexy gazing at him thoughtfully.
“You’re still hard.” Lexy pushed his weight into Huv’s inseam for emphasis.
Huv audibly gulped. “You seem to have that effect on me.”
“When you’re not fighting it, you mean.” Lexy’s tone was patient. “Tell me something. If gender weren’t an issue, if you’d met me as a female first, would you be hesitating right now? Or would we already be in the bedroom?”
He didn’t even have to think about it. “Bedroom.”
“Even knowing I change into a man?”
Sensing this was important to Lexy, Huv chose his words carefully. “I’ve never met someone who can change sexes. I can’t decide if I’m skeptical or intrigued, which probably means I haven’t absorbed that yet. But I’ve never been so attracted to someone before. And I’ve only known you as a man. I also got on this couch with you after you told me about the whole bi-gender
