#3 of Bitten


It had been a long night and Lex hadn't gotten much sleep. He woke up after hitting his alarm clock several times and then remembered, "My ears!" He said and bolted upright. Lex raced across the hallway and into the bathroom slamming the door shut behind him and only stopping once he could see himself in the mirror. "Huh?" Lex said in confusion as he saw his perfectly normal human ears sitting in their usual place on the side of his head. "But... last night" Lex stammered remembering the furry ears and how he stayed up so late worrying about them.

Could it have been a dream? Lex decided a nice long shower would help relax him and when he got out he was relieved that he still didn't have furry ears. As soon as Lex got downstairs he smelled waffles. Waffles only meant one thing. "Hey dad, where's mom?" Lex asked as he walked into the kitchen fifteen minutes later fully dressed and ready for school.

"Oh, you know how she is, she said she had something to take care of this morning and ran off once she was dressed" Lex's dad said and smiled at his son as he peeked inside the waffle iron on the counter beside him. Lex shrugged as he went to the counter and got the syrup out, "You know..." Lex's father said in that way dad's do when there's more to what they want to say than they really want to say, "... I never really told you how proud of you I was when you made the football team" he said not looking at his son, and instead focusing on the iron.

"It's cool dad, you don't have to say stuff like that" Lex said and went to get some forks and plates.

"It's just that I never thought you'd be the football type, seeing how you favor your mom's side and all" he said honestly. Lex did favor his mom's side. His father was about 5'11 and pretty well built. He had been quite the stud in college when he had met Lex's mom. It was strange too how all the guys on Lex's dad's side were all big and hairy, but Lex was short and skinny, just like his mom. Lex didn't know why he had turned out this way, but he had always thought it was weird.

"Thanks a lot dad" Lex said half joking half sincere.

"It wasn't an insult Lex, it's just that you favor your mom, and you don't really look much like me and my family" he said and seemed to think for a moment, "But you know that if you ever need to tell me anything, anything at all about weird stuff you can let me know right?"

Lex was kind of surprised. Was his dad asking Lex if he was gay? Not that Lex didn't think he could take it if he was, after all Lex was nothing like his two perfect older brothers who had already graduated from college and were in the working world. Lex's brothers were like his dad, only taller and more like the rest of that side of the family. Lex used to look up to his brothers, but they were so far apart in age that Lex hardly remembered them from when he was five and they were in high school. If anything Lex wondered if his dad would even care.

"What do you mean dad?" Lex said neutrally and tried not to act suspicious.

"Oh, it's probably nothing, but I mean what I said son, you can tell me anything. You're brothers were a lot like you when they were your age, and look at them! They turned out alright"

"Oh I don't think they're anything like me" Lex said more to himself than his dad who gave him a weird look.

After that they chatted about usual father son things like football practice and whatnot. Lex was glad whatever had been troubling his dad had passed and he had returned to his usual quiet and introspective self. Lex liked his dad after all, he was really calm and hard to piss off. Lex figured it was because his brothers had already been through it all with him, but who really knew.

Lex eventually said goodbye to his father and thanked him for cooking waffles for breakfast. "It was nice son, I really enjoy talking to you more than you know" he had said and Lex had just shrugged and left for school.

After Lex left the phone rang and Lex's father got up to answer it. "Colby dear? This is Marry" his wife's voice said on the other end of the phone.

"Oh hi hun, how did it go with the new lawn-care man?"

"Well I decided to hire a young man to do it instead. It will be much cheaper and his family needs the money" Marry said and judging by her voice she seemed to be pleased with her choice.

"That's great dear, how much are we paying him now?" Colby asked and smiled at the thought of having a cheaper lawn-care bill.

"Eighty a month and his father agreed to let us feed him dinner on the weekend when he's over here mowing as part of our payment" Marry explained, "He's the son of an old acquaintance of mine, I'm sure he will do a fine job"

"That's great dear!" she had somehow managed to half their lawn-care expenses. And on top of all that they already owned the equipment to get out in the yard and do it themselves. Colby had a whole adjoined building to his garage that was air-conditioned and everything. Not that he spent any time out there. Ever since he had taken management responsibility at the company he worked for he had stopped having the time to work on the lawn. Lex had tried for a while, but the poor kid had a tough time with the heavy push mower Colby had bought for himself. Instead of dropping a whole couple thousand dollars to replace the old equipment Colby had just hired someone to do the lawn for him. They charged an outrageous amount, but it always look decent. "So what about this guy that's coming, you're sure he can handle the responsibility?"

"His dad says he's been mowing lawns for money in the summer for years, and when it starts getting colder I could have him start doing some other things for us around the house and such" Marry said and Colby thought how nice it would be to have some real help around the house for once. Ever since his sons moved out he had pretty much been doing everything himself.

"That's wonderful dear, I can't wait to meet him; when dose he start?"

"This Saturday! I think this is going to be excellent dear, I met him this morning and I was very impressed. He's an excellent choice for this kind of work, I'm sure he'll do just fine!" Marry said cheerfully, "Oh, I've gotta go hun, I'll be home soon"

Colby Long hung the phone up and smiled. It looked like things were looking up. He had lots of things he needed done around the house, and it had been a long time since he'd had someone help. Granted eighty bucks wasn't exactly free, but having more than a couple shucks that just mowed the lawn and left for twice that amount wasn't any better.

While his parents got ready for their new handy man Lex was just arriving at school and joining the crowd of jocks and cheerleaders circled around some sort of commotion. Lex couldn't see over the other guys who were taller and they wouldn't let him by, but he heard what sounded like fighting in the center of the group. Lex saw Abby and hurried over to where she and a few other girls were standing on top of a bench trying to see into the fight. "Hey! Hey Abby! What's going on!?" Lex asked as he pushed towards her and a few other girls he recognized.

"Lex!" Abby said in surprise, "Oh thank god you're here!" She said and hopped down pushing to where Lex was in the crowd. "You've gotta help Lex, some group of bullies came up and started picking on the cheerleaders and a couple of guys. My boyfriend and a few others didn't like it so they started fighting!"

"Come on!" Lex said and started pushing towards the middle of the crowd with Abby right behind him. When Lex reached the center he saw three rough looking guys standing over three football players and one of the two down on the ground was Abby's boyfriend.

"Jason!" Abby said and rushed towards her boyfriend. Before she could reach him the taller and bigger of the three guys who had obviously won the little fight caught her by the wrists and pulled her towards him.

"Hey there beautiful, what's a pretty little thing like you doing in the middle of a rough crowd like this?"

Abby didn't get a chance to respond Lex grabbed the other guy's hand and pried his fingers off Abby's wrists. Lex almost thought he heard himself growl as he stepped between Abby and the guy, "Leave her alone!" he said forcefully in a voice slightly lower than usual.

Abby took a few steps backwards and then turned to look at her boyfriend on the ground. He looked pretty rough, and was bleeding out his lip and nose. "What's this here guys?" The bigger guy said and turned to the two guys behind him, "Looks like the pipsqueak freshmen wants to play" the guy said and smiled as he walked towards Lex. "I think you need a lesson in respecting your elders"

Lex watched as the guy walked forwards and then pulled his fist back to hit Lex. Having never been in a fight before Lex didn't know what to do so he just stood there and waited for the hit, but it never came. Lex finally opened his eyes and saw a fist just in front of his face. At first he thought maybe the guy had missed, but as Lex took a step back he bumped into a large person who felt very solid. A very muscular arm attached to a big hand was holding the other guy's arm, effectively immobilizing him. Lex looked up at Dustin and for once in his whole life was glad to see him. As usual Dustin didn't look happy.

The bully managed to pry his arm out of Dustin's grip and he took a few steps back to look up at the guy who had stopped him. Dustin looked pissed and he placed a hand protectively over Lex's chest pulling his closer against him like a mother would their child. Lex's head hit Dustin's abs and for once there was no throbbing pole of meat there. Lex immediately felt safe and a low rumble came from the young man above him. "Get the fuck away from him" was all Dustin said as he gave the bully a death glare, his usually handsome face twisted into a feral snarl.

"What the hell punk, you want to take us on?" The bully said puffing himself up and giving Dustin a nasty look, "You protecting your little faggot boyfriend?"

That got Dustin's attention, faster than Lex could comprehend he found himself behind Dustin watching as Dustin punched the other guy in the gut and then took a pretty bad hit himself to the face. As they fought Lex felt helpless, he wanted to be strong like that and to be able to protect himself or at least defend his friends. Dustin was fighting tooth and nail, and the group around him was cheering for him, but nobody can win three on one. Dustin took a nasty left hook to the nose making a spectacular cracking noise and causing a spray of blood.

As Dustin staggered backwards Lex smelled the tangy iron of Dustin's blood. In that moment something snapped inside him. Lex side stepped Dustin and reared back to his the guy who had hit Dustin. Lex slammed his fist into the guy's chest knocking the wind out of him. After his initial hit Lex brought his left fist up in a classical uppercut catching the other guy on the chin. The hit actually lifted the guy off the ground and he flew backwards a few feet landing on his ass.

Lex would have liked to say he won the fight, but after his uppercut a few teachers showed up and broke everything up. Lex, Dustin, and the three bullies were taken to the principal's office. Because they couldn't hardly stand the other three football players went to the nurses office. Lex and Dustin were mostly ok except for Dustin's nose. As soon as the teachers left to talk to the principal Dustin got up and knelt down beside Lex. He grabbed his arms and then inspected his face. Lex was shocked, but allowed Dustin to inspect him, "I... I'm ok Dustin" Lex said, but Dustin continued his search.

"If they so much as touched you I'm gunna beat the crap outa them" Dustin said through gritted teeth and continued to inspect Lex.

"Dustin... I'm fine, really" Lex said and after a few more moments Dustin decided Lex was alright. He sighed and sat back down beside Lex, ignoring the throbbing pain in his nose.

After another ten minutes the principal told Lex and Dustin to come in. He gave the two boys one of those serious talks about maintaining the peace and their responsibility as members of the sports team to set an even higher example, that's when he dropped the bomb. "Since your record speaks against you I'm going to have to take you off the football team" the principal said to Dustin.

"Wait!" Lex said suddenly and the principal gave him an odd look, "It's my fault Dustin got involved, he was just trying to protect me" Lex said and looked nervously at Dustin.

"Is this true Dustin?"

Dustin gave Lex a very confused look and began to speak, "I... you see I can't... I just..."

"It's not even his fault that the fight got started sir! You can't punish him just because he's got a bad record!" Lex said in anger.

"I'll be the one determining who gets punished and what's appropriate for each person, though if you feel that you and Mr. Parks should share the same punishment Mr. Long, I can arrange that" The principal said and frowned. After that he dismissed Lex and Dustin. They both went on their way to classes and didn't see each other until second block.

Lex was running by himself because Abby had been called to the office to tell her side of the story to the teachers. As usual and like everything in high school the fight was getting blown way out of proportion. The usual group of horny football players hadn't shown up as Lex made his rounds, but to his surprise he saw Dustin standing at the gate talking to Coach Young. The Coach didn't look too happy at what Dustin was saying to him, but he let him into the track field and Dustin started to jog towards Lex.

Lex slowed down to let Dustin catch up and noticed that he was wearing a bandage across his nose. Dustin jogged over to Lex easily catching up with him. Lex stopped and watched as Dustin approached. "What's up?" Lex asked and gave Dustin a strange look.

"I came to tell you about our punishment" Dustin said and frowned. Lex looked down as he waited for bad news. "Turns out your little speech moved the principal enough to keep us on the team. Plus that little girl that you saved told him about how brave you were and how you only got involved to help her" Lex silently thanked Abby for her support and continued to listen to Dustin. "None of the other teachers would speak up for us, but coach Rick said that he and Coach Young would find something for us to do in the morning before school"

"What do you mean?"

"You, me, and the other three football players aren't allowed to go to the courtyards in the morning. If we don't check in with Coach Rick every morning we'll get suspended and kicked off the team" Dustin said gravely.

"What about the other three guys, that bully and his two friends?"

"I believe they got expelled" Dustin said and shrugged.

After that Dustin didn't have much to say, he and Lex shared an awkward silence. Lex finally spoke up, "Listen Dustin, I... i just wanted to tell you..." Dustin seemed to grimace and look away, "Thanks, thanks for protecting me" Lex said and looked down in shame. Every time he looked up at Dustin he saw that ugly bandage. Lex couldn't help but imagine himself with that bandage instead, and probably worse if Dustin hadn't stopped it. The thought made Lex wonder why Dustin had stepped in anyway.

Dustin didn't look at Lex so Lex didn't see the tiny tear that fell down his cheek. "Nobody picks on you but me" Dustin said quietly as he wiped the tear off his cheek and grimaced in pain at the touch, "You... you get that punk" Dustin said and turned to face Lex, "I won't let them pick on you nerd, that's my job!"

Dustin walked away after that, but Lex thought he wanted to say more. Lex jogged the rest of the period alone. He had plenty of time to think about his exchange with Dustin and their punishment. Despite what Dustin said Lex was called to the office again and told his punishment in person. Lex was relieved to get off so easy, but he was mortified when they told him the school had contacted his parents.

Lex knew he would get it when he got home, but at least he had practice after school. Fourth block hit hard, and the wrath of Coach Rick fell on the five and the rest of the team, "Since we're supposed to 'set a better example' for the other students as their sports team and academic peers I can't think of a better way than hard, backbreaking exercise to discipline a pack of violent little twerps!" Coach Rick yelled as everyone did pushups. "Even worse is the fact that three of our team members actually lost in a fight against some stupid punk who thinks we're a bunch of pushovers!"

Lex was almost glad for his nearly unlimited endurance, but even he was getting tired by the time the hour and a half of practice was over. To complicate things it was hot that day, well into the upper nineties. Lex made sure to catch a glance at Dustin whenever he could. The bigger guy was doing great though and he seemed to be pushing through the pain of his nose, which Lex had learned was broken.

Coach Rick didn't let up either, he made sure everyone was good and tired by the time 5:30 rolled along, and most of the guys were to tired to give Lex and Dustin their usual attention in the showers. Lex was undressing when there was a chorus of hoops and hollers from the front of the locker room. "Hey Lex, looks like you've got a little visitor!" Someone yelled out and Lex looked up to see Abby walking through the locker rooms trying to ignore the various states of nude young men around her. She found Lex well enough and smiled when she saw him.

"Lex!" She said and rushed forwards, hugging him despite his shirtless and sweaty state.

"Hey Abby! What are you doing here?" Lex asked in confusion.

"I had to see you as soon as I could, I just wanted to thank you for helping me back there" She said and started to tear up, "I just wish I could have gotten the principal to not punish you guys as much" she said and sniffed.

"Oh, it's alright Abby! We got let off pretty easy" Lex said and patted her on the back reassuringly.

"Well, thanks anyways Lex, you really are a great friend. It's a shame we had to wait so long to meet each other" She said and stood up. By now most of the guys were in the showers, but a few watched in interest. "I guess I'll see you at lunch tomorrow" She said as she backed out of the locker room.

Lex sighed and continued to undress walking to the last shower in the row of three. He half expected to see Dustin waiting for him, but he figured the larger guy liked to use the element of surprise whenever he could. Lex was enjoying the hot shower water when he felt a gentle touch on his chest, and a familiar midsection behind him. Unlike earlier today that massive rod of meat was there grinding into Lex's back.

Dustin didn't waste any time, but his usual deep sniff of Lex was disrupted by his bandage. Lex didn't think it was affecting his libido though, and his confirmation came when Dustin growled low into Lex's ear. What was up with all the growling lately? "Oh Lex" he said with obvious lust in his voice, "I wanna take you so bad!"

Lex melted into Dustin's arms and teased the bigger guy by rubbing himself slightly up and down Dustin's massive cock. The attention made Dustin moan with longing, and Lex stepped away briefly and turned to face Dustin, "It's the least I can do for my savior" Lex said seductively and smiled, "But this time I'm facing you, and no more head slamming. Ok?"

Dustin nodded and knelt for Lex, allowing the smaller guy to climb onto him. Lex still gasped as Dustin slowly stood and impaled him. This was only his second time taking it in the ass, but the pain was hardly as intense. To his surprise Dustin seemed to slow just a bit as he focused on the young man below him. "You ok?" He asked and frowned at Lex who was adjusting to the fourteen inch coke can in his ass.

"Oh god, you haven't gotten any bigger have you?" Lex gasped.

Dustin just chuckled and put his back against the shower wall and grunted as he pulled Lex gently up and then down his length. Lex could tell Dustin was trying to be careful, but his desire to finish quickly overcame his concern, and Lex felt himself trying to mimic Dustin's actions on his own cock a day ago. Lex tried to clench down and must have succeeded because Dustin gasped in pleasure and redoubled his efforts. After a while of grunting and groaning Lex felt the heat building inside him, and he wondered why he had missed this the last time they had fucked. He wondered if it had anything to do with being raped.

A great inferno of their built up sexual energy was raging inside Lex and with each bump and bounce he felt friction against a magical spot inside him where pleasure seemed to emanate outwards from. Lex moaned as he sank into Dustin's arms and the bigger guy bucked under Lex like a wild thing. Lex started to cry out as his cock betrayed him and he began to spill his load into the space between them. It was an amazing orgasm that shook his small frame causing the spasm of clenching ass muscle that drove Dustin over the edge as well.

Lex felt that massive load shooting into him and seeming to sear his insides as the liquid magic flowed deep into his body. Dustin was a tight fit so little of the cum escaped and Lex began to wonder where it all went. As Dustin came Lex noticed that it seemed to last a little longer than it had the last time they had done this. It also felt a lot better. It wasn't until Dustin gingerly pulled Lex off his cock that Lex realized he was still a little sore. "Was I too rough again?" Dustin asked softly and looked slightly concerned.

"No, it was amazing!" Lex said, smiling as he winced and tried to stand up.

Dustin seemed satisfied that Lex would live and as usual showered off and then left. Lex was still showering when Dustin left and was unaware that he waited in the dark of the gymnasium till Lex finished, gathered his things, and left. Dustin even followed Lex to his car to make sure he was ok. After that Dustin went to his truck and drove off. "You know we don't have long" the usual voice said and looked at it's fellow as they watched Dustin drive away.

"I know"

Lex got home just in time to meet his dad in the kitchen. Apparently the school had called him at his work and he was not happy to see his wayward son. After he got home Lex and his father shared one of those all dinner long conversations in which his mother felt like she should add her own opinion in ever five or six minutes. "Now we know you didn't start that fight Lex, and the principal was very exact in describing what happened to us, but we still can't condone this sort of behavior" his mother said and looked at her husband.

"That's right dear" Lex's father said and looked at his wife who nodded, "And that's why we decided to purchase some in-home gym equipment. We know you already exercise at school, but we think it might be a good idea for you to have somewhere to take out your aggression"

They've gotta be crazy! Lex thought to himself. I mean who gets gym equipment for their son when he's getting into fights at school? Lex halfway listened to his parents as they explained how often they expected him to use the stuff and how they were going to buy some books for him on body building and football exercises. Lex still thought they were insane and didn't pay much attention.

After dinner Lex was sent straight up to his room, and he almost got mad at how his parents were acting, but he was just glad he wasn't grounded. Not that there was much his parents could ground him from, but he was still thankful regardless.

Most of the rest of the night was spent studying and despite the day's events Lex didn't feel that stressed. Lex was fine till about nine o'clock when he suddenly felt very uncomfortable and sleepy at the same time. "That's weird" Lex said aloud as he put his books down and stumbled towards his bed. "I'm so... tired" he said and fell face first into the covers.

...

Once again Lex found himself in some sort of strange dream like state, only this time he felt more aware of himself. Unlike last time he wasn't in a bedroom, but instead a living room that looked like someone had trashed it. Lex was sitting on a nasty looking sofa in the middle of the room with a football in his hands. He was sure it was a football because of how it felt, only it looked pretty small. The only other thing of intrest was the small TV in the middle of the room.

Just as before as soon as Lex wanted to look around some more the dream seemed to play onward and the front door of the strange dream house opened and an older looking man with a pot belly walked in with a girl on his hip. He was laughing and carrying on like he was drunk, and Lex felt a surge of anger and fear at the intrusion. The woman must have been drunk too, or at least stupid judging from how she carried on, and both of them stumbled into the room. Lex noticed it was dark outside, and he found himself looking back at the screen as if he was trying to ignore the man and the woman. "Hey shon, go play in your room, daddy's got a date tonight"

Lex turned back at the man and felt anger and hate well up inside him. This time he got a good look at the guy, and noticed how much he looked like Dustin, or better yet like a slightly older version of the man Lex had seen in his dreams the last time he had dreamt like this.

"Fuck off dad, and take that fucking whore to your bedroom if you're going to bone her"

Lex was shocked at what he had just said, but the man just laughed, "Oh Dusty, you're just like your old man, one day you'll understand" The man said and laughed along with the trashy woman beside him. They laughed as they stumbled through the room.

Lex turned back to the TV and watched football as some rather disgusting sounds came from down the hallway beside him,

"I'll never be like you dad, I'll find someone who loves me like mom loved you"

After that the dream seemed to fade away and Lex fell into a peaceful slumber. As he slept for real though his subconscious mind pondered the events in his pre-sleep dream. The next morning he would awaken from his slumber with the images still fresh on his mind.
