She did not. Coach let Colton and Alex leave early since their families were coming and O finished soon after they left. Cam was still working on the vault with Noah and Ty, and Cassandra was pushing me on the high bar now. Coach was watching us. My arms were burning, but I knew if I nailed this one, I’d be done for the morning. I mean, she’d have to let me leave soon, anyway. There was another country using the gym at noon.

When I landed the dismount without a hop or a step, she congratulated me. Coach walked up to us. “You’re looking great, Luke. You’ve got a shot at the all-around this time. I’ve got a good feeling.”

“Thanks, Coach.”

It was nice to hear that Coach had confidence in me, but I’d have better feelings if I had a boyfriend again. Speaking of, I looked over at the vault and Cam was gone. He must’ve gone to the locker room already. Cassandra said she’d meet me by the shuttles, so we could take a car service back to the hotel. I grabbed my bag and jogged past Noah and Ty, hoping that Cam was still in the locker room.

I heard the shower running, so I knew he was still in here. I just had to figure out what to say to him. I had no good ideas.

Hey, I was a total fuckknuckle four years ago. How about we forget that and start over?

Or I could go with what my penis wanted.

Hey, wanna fuck me?

Or something with less ‘fuck’ that was genuine and totally something you could say to someone naked in the locker room showers after your parents made you dump them at the last Olympics.

I’m sorry. Do you think you can give us another chance?

Ugh. I was hoping for an amalgamation of the three, as I flipped my sandals into the locker and disrobed quickly. Grabbing a towel, I headed to the showers. I heard the water shut off.

Shit.

I quickened my pace, trying to catch him before he left the stall. I rounded the corner of the row of lockers and made a left.

“Oof!” Cam grunted as I slammed directly into him, chest to chest. I dropped my towel. His towel that had been wrapped around his waist fell to the floor, and we were both naked, our bodies only a foot apart. I immediately dropped to my knees to grab the towels. Cam went to do the same thing, but I beat him to it and he let me get them. While I was down there, I realized pretty quickly that my head was even with his dick and I couldn’t help but glance at it.

Instinctively, I licked my lips and bit my bottom lip. I noticed he was starting to harden. Almost in slow motion, I could see the veins pop and imagined the blood rushing into them as his balls tightened. And like magic, the flaccid cock of my dreams that had been dormant was rising majestically in front of my very eyes.

I heard Cam clear his throat. “My eyes are up here, tiger.”

Christ, he remembers. He hadn’t called me that since Brisbane. I couldn’t help but smile and stand, handing him his towel, and quickly covered up my also-on-the-upswing member. For once, I was the one blushing.

“Thanks.”

Shit. Say something. This was my big moment, and I was struck speechless by...well, the world’s most perfect schlong.

I was not remembering what his cum tasted like. Nope, not at all.

“Uh...you’re welcome.”

Smooth, bro. Oh god, now I’m Ty. Shut up. Just forget it.

I went to go around him, but he tried to go the same way as me and we bumped chests again, and this time we weren’t a foot apart. Cam stayed close, and I froze. I didn’t know what was happening, but I watched as he slowly turned to look into my eyes. Our lips were inches apart. I could feel the heat coming off his body. I licked my lips again and noticed he looked down at them. His eyes, taking in the details of my face, eventually travelled back up to mine, and I saw him lean in, so I closed my eyes and waited. My heart was racing. This was it. We would kiss and then I could apologize and try to explain.

“Sorry, I should go,” Cam muttered, and I felt his shoulder brush past me as I opened my eyes and watched his back disappear around the corner of the lockers.

I stood there in shock for who knows how long before I realized I should chase after him. But when I made it around the corner, there was only a towel on the floor.

He was gone.

Camden

I didn’t wait for the shuttle. I started jogging to the dorms since they were just over a mile away. That’d take me less than ten minutes. I just hoped Luke didn’t follow me. I thought he’d have to wait for Cassandra, anyway. They used a separate car service or something.

I didn’t even know what I was thinking. Well, that was a lie. I was trying to get out of the shower before Luke came into the locker room to avoid exactly what happened.
