She was a Sylvan! My geeky little heart leapt. Then I remembered how much I’d talked about them on the bus and how much I liked them in my game. That must be why she didn’t want to tell me.
“Trust me, I don’t have elf girl fantasies.” I chuckled.
“I wasn’t even concerned about that until now.” Rosario snickered.
“I’m gay. You don’t have to worry.” I insisted.
Rosario looked at me, shocked. She smiled warmly. I was growing more hopeful. Maybe my friends would be the support I needed to finally come out of the closet.
“Then…. Do you have elf boy fantasies?” She asked suggestively.
I blushed. Walked right into that one. I won’t lie, I’d had a few Legolas fantasies in the past. Orlando Bloom still hung on my wall.
“So, you do!” She chuckled, practically reading my mind.
“Well, yeah. Who wouldn’t?” I smiled a little.
“I know I have.” Rosario winked.
“I want to see what you really look like.” I insisted.
“You know this is all a glamour. A way to look more human so I can be out in the human world. But, this isn’t really what I look like at all.” She said. “We don’t look like elves do in the movies, either.”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“For starters, I’m taller than this, and there are a lot of… other things that are different about me.”
“I get it. You’re not like other girls.” I laughed.
Rosario sighed and closed her eyes for a moment. The air around her started quivering, like a moisture mirage. I had to rub my eyes.
When I pulled my hands from my eyes, I saw she was about 6’2” with hair the color of dark tree leaves and skin the shade of rich brown bark. Her eyes were gold and green, like sunlight peeking through the leaves of trees and the color changed like an invisible breeze was moving the leaves.
Her ears were pointed and her jaw was still narrow, but just a little wider and… she had an Adam’s apple. I realized I wasn’t looking at a teenaged girl anymore. I was looking at a man.
He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. I could see the outline of his muscles faintly under his t-shirt. He was the most beautiful man I’d ever seen. Even more gorgeous than Gray.
I licked my lips and smiled a little. “What’s your real name then?”
“Rosario. My mom read that it was a boy’s name, but every one that I’ve met was a woman. I started using a female glamour when I was in kindergarten. I liked the attention I got from being a pretty girl. I didn’t realize what it would mean for me when I grew into a man. There’s one thing I just can’t mimic.” Rosario said looking down pointedly.
“It must make gym time difficult for you. All those mostly naked girls running around the locker room.” I chuckled.
“Not really. I changed in the bathroom stalls.” He sighed.
“Is that why you never accepted dates from all those guys who hit on you?” I asked.
“Anyway, we should get on with your lesson. Are you okay with me being like this, because of a curse, we can’t keep our glamour on for more than eight hours a day. If I can save it, I’d rather do that.” He smiled, changing the subject.
I nodded. If he wanted to look like that, I was more than happy to let him. I wanted to stare at him all day.
Rosario picked up some arrows and went to the line on the floor. I watched him line up his shot and pull back on the arrow. I was behind him and got a clear view of his ass. It was as beautiful as the rest of him.
Gray had been replaced in my mind. Tonight, I’d be thinking of Rosario. God he was hot.
“You can’t see much of my form from back there. Come to the other side.” Rosario called out.
I didn’t think I could blush any harder. He caught me checking him out. I moved to the other side and saw his muscles straining as he held the bow string tight. Even after he released the arrow, I was staring at his body.
“Are you just going to stare at me all day, or are you going to pay attention?” He chuckled.
I loved the sound of his deep laughter. It made me laugh a little too.
“You caught me. You just look so different, I’m a bit thrown off.” I lied.
“Come over here. I’ll show you how to stand.” He said.
Timidly, I walked over to where he was. Rosario handed me the bow and instructed me on how to hold it. He moved me around, adjusted my arms, my shoulders, my hips.
I swallowed nervously. He was right behind me. I could feel his body against mine. I didn’t think a man would touch me after finding out I was gay, at least not a straight man.
“You know.” He whispered into my ear. “We may not be as sensitive to smell as a werewolf, but you can’t lie to a fae. You were checking me out.”
His hips ground into my backside. I managed to stifle a moan and adjusted my glasses. His hands slid from my hips to my stomach and I felt his lips on my ear.
“Don’t lie to me again. I only ever want the truth from those sweet lips.” Rosario murmured.
“Wh-what are you doing?” I mumbled.
“You have no idea what you do to me, Sean. I’ve had my share of elf and fae boy fantasies, but I never had a fantasy about a human boy until this week. You consume me. I can’t stop thinking of your smile, your eyes, each one of those darling freckles on your face. I can’t sleep because I wake up in an even worse state. You invade my dreams. How did I know you for so long without ever really seeing you?” He groaned as he ground himself against me.
“Rosario.” I moaned, loving the feeling of his arms around me and his body so close to mine.
“Goddess, I want you so bad, Sean. If I were older, and you weren’t human, I would think you were meant to be my true mate. Part of me wants to bring you over to the fae side and keep you forever. It wouldn’t work if you didn’t have fae blood, though.”
He pulled the bow from my hands and dropped it to the ground. I didn’t have time to worry about it, he spun me around and pulled me to him, one of his hands gripped my ass as he gazed into my eyes. I got a little lost in the movement of his eyes and barely registered him closing the gap between us.
His lips pressed against mine. First it was soft, then became more ardent as I didn’t resist. I started kissing him back and moved my hands to grip his hair.
It was soft and, like the feel of spruce shoots in the spring, a little velvety. I opened my mouth a little and he wasted no time forcing his tongue into my mouth to play with my own.
This was it. My first kiss and it was everything I dreamed of. I didn’t even know how we ended up on the floor, but, when he pulled away, I saw the ceiling behind him. This felt so right and so perfect.
“How do we know if I have fae blood?” I asked in a whisper. “I want to be with you forever. I didn’t know why I was feeling so drawn to a girl, but maybe I could feel you there from the beginning. I always saw you. You were always ranked high with me in grades. I saw you as a friendly rival, but, around puberty, I started thinking you were pretty in a different way than other girls. They were pretty, but you were attractive. It confused me.”
