The only thing that the sixteen-year- old knew for certain was the effect that this man had on him; every day for the past few months, Jeffrey practically tortured himself watching the jogger. What happens if the jogger actually ran by the day that Jeffrey planned to attack? Notes WARNING: Extremely graphic. If you have a weak stomach, I wouldn't suggest reading.             Huff, crunch, inhale. Huff, crunch, inhale.            He waited in the dense thicket that separated the highway from the foliage shrouding him, peeking out from his hiding space.             Huff, crunch, inhale. Huff, crunch, inhale.            He could hear the faintest panting from the man on the road, the jogger’s sneakers crunching the ground beneath him every time his foot hit the pavement. The stranger was a good twenty feet away from the blond boy, and continued his exercise as he did daily—like he hadn’t a care in the world. Jeffrey stayed kneeled and silently still, the only noises within the environment surrounding them being the jogger and the occasional bird’s chirping.             Huff, crunch, inhale. Huff, crunch, inhale.            As the man grew closer, Jeffrey could hear the blood rushing throughout his body in his eardrums, his heart kicking against his ribcage like a jackrabbit. He white-knuckled the wooden baseball bat in his fists, preparing himself for the atrocity that he was about to commit on this unsuspecting stranger. Maybe the man had a wife or a girlfriend, maybe the man had children—Jeffrey didn’t know. The only thing that the sixteen-year-old knew for certain was the effect that this man had on him; every day for the past few months, Jeffrey practically tortured himself watching the jogger. The man was usually shirtless and dripping with sweat, his dark hair sopping and his tanned chest gleaming. The image never let him think straight and it never left his mind, especially on the nights that he tossed and turned and needed an outlet for relaxation. Jeffrey felt a physical needto hear the man’s heartbeat, a need to brush his fingertips over the man’s tight abdominal muscles. Maybe, just maybe after he did that, it would quell the suffocating feeling in his chest and he would sleep better at night.             Huff, crunch, inhale. Huff, crunch, panting.            The man was about six feet away from Jeffrey’s position now, and he had stopped running. Jeffrey held his breath as the brunet kneeled down on one knee to tie his shoe, wiping the sweat off of his forehead with the back of his hand. Jeffrey had never seen the jogger up close for a longer amount of time than a few seconds as he ran by, longingly watching as the man’s back muscles grew pink from the sun and exertion. The man finished tying his shoe and briefly rested his head on his knee, taking a few deep breaths as a quick way of rest. It was the middle of July and the air was thick with humidity, even Jeffrey felt his shirt sticking to his back from sweat. The blond swallowed hard, feeling the impulse to shift closer churn in his stomach. He would probably never get the chance again to see the man in close quarters while he was conscious, and that thought gnawed at him from the inside. Maybe if he was quiet, maybe if he moved slowly—crunch.             Jeffrey stilled in panic as a twig broke beneath his shoe, feeling a nervous sweat pool in the palm of his hands. The man looked up in his direction, narrowing his eyes in confusion.             “Hello?” The man stood up slowly, leaning towards Jeffrey’s hideaway. Jeffrey’s heart pounded so quickly he thought he could pass out; this wasn’t the way it was supposed to go. He wasn’t supposed to see Jeffrey’s face; he wasn’t supposed to be able to identify him. Turning tail and quickly moving through the brush, he ran as fast as he could, dropping the bat and ignoring the other man’s shouts—Hey!—as he dodged the trees in his path. He hurried in his house’s direction, the highway not being too far from his home. Before he could make his way into the clearing, the toe of his shoe caught on something sticking up out of the ground and he found himself face-to-face with the dirt, a sharp pain thrumming in his right palm.             Leaning on his palms and standing back up, he picked his glasses up off of the ground. They weren’t cracked or broken, but covered in dirt. He lifted the edge of his shirt up to wipe off the lenses, placing them back on his face and pushing them up the bridge of his nose. Stumbling towards the shed in his backyard, his ankle ached and his hand was throbbing in pain. He walked through the door of his shed and closed it behind him, shoving the lock in its place in irritation. He would never be able to watch the man again without some form of paranoia keeping him on edge, and the man now knew that he was being watched, so it was unlikely he would take that road again.             “Fuck,” He shook his head and sat down in the dilapidated chair next to the small table in the shed, the chair creaking beneath his weight. He turned his hand and examined his palm, a gash at least an inch and a half long splitting the flesh. It was caked with dirt and blood and it was still bleeding, the wound thick and aching. Grabbing a forgotten rag off of the table, he dipped it in the small pail of water sitting on the surface and began cleaning the cut, wincing slightly. Once most of the blood and dirt was off of his palm, he noted just how deep the gash was when it continued to bleed, streaming lightly over the edges of the split skin. In the back of his mind he knew that he was probably going to need stitches, but he found himself mesmerized by the image.             He flexed his fingers and watched how it gaped—open and closed, open and closed—quite a few times, the liquid beginning to cover most of his palm. As the blood trickled down towards his wrist, he found that the aesthetic pleasure made his cock twitch in the confines of his jeans, forcing a sigh of wonderment from his lips. He swallowed hard before he slowly brought his left hand to the front of his jeans and unbuttoned them, sliding the zipper down after. He shoved them down his hips and let them pool around his ankles before spreading his legs, making a tight fist with his right hand and feeling a jolt of pain mix in with the warm liquid between his fingers. He chewed his bottom lip in anticipation before he wrapped the injured hand around his cock, stifling back a moan as he watched the red tint his length.             It was so warm, something like he had never felt before as he thrusted up into his hand, sliding his thumb through the slit at the head. He watched as the precome beaded at the top and entwined with the blood, sending a spark of electricity up his spine at the sight before him. An involuntary growl reverberated through his throat as he thought of the jogger, panting and sweaty and lean, stretched out around his dick, a concoction of blood and come leaking out of him as he laid out on his stomach, taking everything that Jeffrey could give to him. He thought about what would have happened if he hadn’t have moved, if the man wouldn’t have stopped to tie his shoe. Jeffrey would have knocked him unconscious and dragged his body out into the woods, listening to his heartbeat and licking up the sweat beading down his torso. He would have smelled the musk from that day’s run, potent and masculine, and threaded his fingers through the jogger’s dripping wet hair.             Jeffrey found himself panting and whimpering at the thought, bringing his left hand up to his mouth and covering it, muffling the noises. He pumped his hand over his cock faster, feeling slightly raw from remnants of the blood drying as new life force seeped out of the gash—an odd but arousing mixture of layer upon layer. His navel was ghastly, blood coating the flesh beneath his belly button and his inner thighs as a feeling of warmth sifted throughout his gut. His shirt would have looked like a crime scene if he hadn’t have thought of hiking it up, keeping it tucked beneath his armpits as he pushed himself further and further to completion. He felt his stomach tighten and his orgasm bubbling beneath the surface, feeling disappointed that it was ending so soon but knowing that he wasn’t going to last.             With a final cry, he bit into the flesh of his left palm and came, his ears ringing as he saw spots behind his eyelids at the intensity. Warm strings of spunk coated the tops of his thighs and his stomach as he panted heavily, slowly bringing his hand away from his mouth. He stroked himself until he was jerking from the sensitivity, releasing the grip on his length and turning his hand over to look at the damage done to the injury. His fingers were coated in blood and come, some of the seed making an entry into the gash. He flexed his fingers—open and closed, open and closed—and watched in morbid curiosity. The cut stung terribly, more than it did when it had originally happened, but some part of him felt grounded and sated because of it. He begrudgingly picked up the rag once more and dipped it into the water pail, wiping away the dried flecks from his thighs and stomach, and then his cock and hand. After pulling his jeans back up and his shirt over his torso, he opted to throw the rag away, feeling slightly nauseated at the idea of explaining any of it to his father.               After he made his way into the house later that evening, he’d disinfected the cut and wrapped it in gauze, feeling dread after his mother called him down for dinner. The atmosphere was heavy at the kitchen table and he knew better than to start a conversation—he knew that they had been fighting again. The only noise in the kitchen was chewing and silverware clinging against plates, and he found himself wanting to be outside again where at least if it was silent, it was peaceful.             “Jeff, what happened to your hand?” He looked up to see his father staring at him, stony-faced but concern written in the lines of his forehead.             He glanced towards his mother where he saw that she was curious, as well, but guilty for not noticing in the first place. “I tripped.” Please drop_by_the_archive_and_comment to let the author know if you enjoyed their work!
