“We can’t,” she said.
She was right. I pulled her to my chest.
“I love you, Cassidy Hope,” I declared.
“I know you do, and I love you too. I promised my daddy that we wouldn’t have sex until I was your girlfriend.”
“I’m surprised he agreed to that.”
“He knows I had sex with Jim, Wolf, and Jeff. He’s just afraid that I’ll fall in love with you, and you’ll leave me,” she explained.
I thought about it and agreed. I would never want to hurt Cassidy, and wouldn’t want sex to not mean anything with her. I did love her, but more like a sister, for now.
“Come on, I’ll take you home,” I said.
“You know I do love you. I didn’t just say it because you did,” Cassidy said.
“Yes, and thank you for that,” I said.
I took her home and kissed her on the front porch. I chuckled when Coach flashed the front porch lights to let us know he was watching.

Chapter 16 – Alpha Male Unleashed Saturday September 26
When I got up, Duke and I went to the kitchen and found Mom and Dad making breakfast. The tension had seemed to ease some in the past couple of weeks, and this weekend was planned for them to have some alone-time without me ‘under their feet.’ I had no idea what that meant, and, to be honest, didn’t want to know.
“I visited Tim in the hospital yesterday. His surgery found more damage than they’d hoped. He won’t be able to play until next season,” Mom said.
I’d seen the hit, and it had looked bad to me at the time. When I got back, I would have to go visit Tim.
“How was he taking it?” I asked.
“He was on some good drugs, but it’ll set in soon. Tim told me to tell you that he expects to be back for next year.”
I kind of spaced out as I worried about my friend. Watching my parents cook, it seemed like they were making a lot, which had me wondering if Greg and his family were coming over. Then Alan came in the back door. He was followed by Ty, Jim, Wolf, and Brandon. Alan made himself at home and got everyone a glass of orange juice or milk. Brandon opted for coffee. Mom told the guys about Tim.
Dad outdid himself. He made Greek omelets with Greek sausage, tomatoes, and feta cheese. He got out the pancake griddle and fried Texas toast with butter to make it golden brown. I found the homemade rhubarb and orange preserves to top the toast. Mom made home fries, and there was a box of doughnuts. I was going to pass but found several Boston Creams with chocolate frosting, and I was soon off my diet as we all chowed down. That many high school boys can eat a lot. We all cleaned up and then hit the road. Since there were six of us, we decided to take two cars. Brandon and I volunteered to drive. Alan and Ty rode with me.
“Have you really had anal sex?” Alan blurted out.
I should have made him ride with someone else. This would be a long road trip if he was full of questions.
“Why? Were you thinking you might want to do it?” I asked.
“No, but I’d like to be ready if the need ever arises.”
“Since you’re my friend, I guess I could show you, but I don’t think you’d like it.”
I looked in the rearview mirror, and Ty had a big smile on his face.
“Why’s that?” Alan asked.
“Because I don’t think you’d be able to handle my massive shlong,” I said.
Alan was not amused, but Ty and I were.
“I’m serious!” Alan pouted.
“Actually, I’d like to hear this, too,” Ty said.
“You’re an anal virgin, too?” I asked.
“Screw you.”
“Yes, I’ve put my pee-pee into a tight little bottom before, and, before you ask, I will not give out names.”
“Okay, wise one, enlighten us,” Alan said.
“First, some health and safety tips. Always use a condom. You know what comes out of that hole, and there are more than a few bugs there that would not be good for you. Never go from her butt to her vagina; and if you do, put on a new condom. It’s warm and moist and the perfect Petri dish to grow all kinds of funky stuff. She’ll be really pissed if she gets some of said funky stuff growing down there. It will also put her out of action, which means she’ll cut you off. Finally, no ATM,” I said.
“What’s ATM?” Alan asked.
“Ass to mouth,” Ty answered.
“Yuck!” Alan said.
“I don’t think I’d kiss her after that,” Ty said.
“What else?” Alan asked.
“I’m going to assume you’ve had sex, so you understand the basic mechanics. The big difference is there’s no lubrication, so you need to use lube. I wouldn’t trust a lubricated condom to be sufficient. In fact, they say that too much lube is almost enough. Something else to remember is that the entrance is a tight little ring that’s elastic, but it takes time to adjust. I would suggest that you work to stretch it some by slowly adding fingers. This is a great way to lube her up. Once you’re ready, take it easy. This is not a case of you slamming home and doing her hard. Wait until she can handle it,” I said.
“Is it really good?” Alan asked.
I gave him a knowing smirk and wouldn’t answer him.

When we were about halfway to Ann Arbor, we had to pull over for a potty break. Ty and Alan went to talk to Jim and Wolf, and soon the four of them were giggling like schoolgirls. When they were done, and everyone back in the car, Alan had a request.
“We need to go to a drugstore.”
I’d seen a Walgreens sign, so I pulled out of McDonald’s and pulled into the drugstore lot. Everyone piled out of the cars and went in except Brandon.
“What are they up to?” Brandon asked.
“They think they can talk some drunken college girl into having sex with them, and then get the girl to have anal sex.”
“Should we go supervise their purchases?” he asked.
“No, but if you don’t have any condoms, you might want to get some.”
“So, the plan is for a lot more fun than we’ve had so far.”
I just nodded. Brandon went in to make his purchase. I followed to make sure the guys didn’t bully Alan. Sure enough, I caught Alan right before he made to the checkout. He had a box of Magnum extra-large. I took him back and got him a better fit. He seemed a little ambitious when he bought a 24-pack, but a boy can dream, and I wasn’t about to tell him otherwise.

Today’s game between BYU and Michigan was a real test for both teams. Michigan had started the season with a road game at Utah and had lost 24 to 17. It was the first game for Coach Haber, who was supposed to be the savior for the once-storied program. I was amused at the text messages the Ohio State contingent sent me in their enjoyment of Michigan’s misfortune. Michigan had bounced back and beaten both Oregon State and UNLV at home on consecutive weekends.
The big story was BYU. They had opened the season at Big Ten powerhouse Nebraska. BYU had lost their leader and starting quarterback to a season-ending injury. Their backup was a freshman, but not just any freshman: Tanner Mangum had thrown for nearly four thousand yards his senior year in high school. He was selected to the play in the Under Armour All-America Game where he was named a special-recognition MVP. Tanner had also been named Co-MVP at Elite 11 where he won the award with two other players. One was Jameis Winston, who was the first pick in the NFL draft this year. Tanner was also rated the number 3 pocket passer in his class when he graduated.
Tanner was Mormon, and instead of starting college he went to Chile on his mission. He had returned only a couple of months before the start of football and had enrolled at BYU as a 22-year-old freshman.
I’d caught the end of the Nebraska game when BYU was down 28–27. With barely any time on the clock, Tanner drove BYU to the Nebraska 43 yard line. It was one of those perfect moments you dream about as a quarterback. It’s your first college game, and you find yourself on the field. It’s fourth down with only one second left in the game. Of course, I usually wake up at that point, but Tanner lived his dream. He heaved a desperation pass toward the Nebraska end zone, and one of his receivers snatched the ball out of the air and got it across the goal line for a stunning victory.
