Prologue: A Delicate Boy

My body is covered in a cold sweat, my breath is labored and my pulse is slowing. I shakily wipe the perspiration from my forehead. That dream again. This time it didn’t stop after we...

I shake my head to clear the images. Taking a deep breath to steady my nerves, I look at the digital clock across my room. It’s too early to get up; I might wake mom and dad. I reach into the dark and run my hand across my headboard until my fingers brush against a thin chain. There it is.

Pressing the cross to my chest, I slide onto my knees and bow my head. “Please, Heavenly Father, give me the strength to fight off these sinful dreams,” I chant fervently, trying to forget my nightmare.

When praying doesn’t work, I lie back down and stare at my dark room. “This isn’t fair,” I whisper to the shadows. “I’m a good, devout Christian that repents for even the little things. Why am I being tormented by these images?”

My mind wonders. Maybe it’s a test. I close my eyes and bid the sinful images return.

I’m at the cabin, unpacking clothes when an older boy walks in. I try to imagine what the boy looked like, but all I can remember is that when I was near enough I could smell licorice. He swipes my things off the bed and pushes me down. I struggle to stand back up, but the boy presses his body against mine, trapping me. For some reason, I chuckle instead of calling for help. Delicately, I pull the tangled sheets over me again. The stronger boy presses his knee between my legs, and I sigh. Slowly, he runs his thumb along my jaw until he cups the back of my neck. He leans in and hovers above my face before he presses his lips against mine hungrily.

This is when I usually would wake up. This new bit is... disturbing. I grasp the cross tighter, letting its edges dig into my palm.

The boy runs his other hand under the hem of my shirt, letting it ghost across my nipples. He breaks the heated kiss so he can unbutton my shirt. When he finishes, I quickly throw the article of clothing away and pull him back to me. The hungry boy removes his shirt and begins to lavish my neck with his soft lips and slick tongue. In response, I arch against him, digging my fingers into his neck.

Smiling at his work, he slides down my body, kissing me delicately and watching my face. When he reaches my pants, he runs his fingers just barely under the hem, causing me to suck in my breath. He moves back to my face and captures my lips. All the while, his hand slides down to my pants and unbuttons them...

My heart rate has increased, but the pool of sweat I awoke in has not returned. I growl in frustration, “This isn’t what I want. It’s only a dream. I’m a horny teenager, that’s all.”

I toss the sheets off me and place the small, gold cross back on its hook. I’m fooling myself if I think that’s all it is. I mean, what kind of straight teenager dreams of making out with someone of the same gender?

Not caring if I wake my parents, I jump out of bed and head down the hall to the bathroom. After locking the door, I turn on the light, squinting under the harsh glow. I turn on the bathwater and watch the tub slowly fill.

There’s a light knock on the door. “Honey, what are you doing up so early?”

“I just wanted to get an early start today so I could make sure I had everything for my first day of school, Mom. I’m sorry if I woke you.”

“It’s all right,” she says softly. “I’ll go start breakfast. Would you like eggs this morning?”

“That sounds great. I’ll be out as soon as I’m done here and finished getting dressed.”

“All right.” I hear her footsteps softly thud down the hall.

I take off my boxers and slide into the steaming water. That’s right, I start high school today. This is fantastic! Not only am I getting turned on by an extremely impious fantasy boy, I get to begin my four years at Anderson High School as the social leper. I dip my head back until my body is completely submerged. My life could not get any worse.
