Free Bringing Home Danny by M.A. Blisher Page A

Dan,” he answered, with no intentions of returning the question. He guessed the man to be about thirty, and the way he overtly examined him up and down made his skin crawl.  
    The man wasn’t fazed by the snub, and persisted with a condescending smirk. “You’re awfully young, Dan. Does your mother know you're here?”
    Not willing to let the man rile him, Danny responded by saying, “I didn't mention it to her.” He turned back to TJ. “I'm gonna see if my friends are ready to leave.”
    TJ wanted to stop him, but a couple of his buddies came over, and TJ could tell Danny was uncomfortable hanging around. “Hey, Danny!” TJ called after him. Danny glanced back to hear TJ caution, “Do me a favor, and don't go drinking anything if you don't know what's in it.”
    It was embarrassing to be lectured at across a crowded room, but Danny nodded his head before waving him off. TJ lost sight of Danny as he maneuvered through the crowd, and shook his head in worry.
    “ Who was that?” TJ friend Darren asked.  
    “ Some kid named Dan.”  
    “ What's he doing here? He seems young.”  
    TJ nodded his head in agreement. “He came here with some friends.”
    “ Oh, for a minute there I thought you were going to pop his cherry.”  
    Normally, TJ would have laughed along at his friend's crude comment, but he felt the need to defend the boy, and he didn't like the type of attention he was attracting. “I'm not interested in popping anybody's cheery, especially a teenager's. Besides, I'm committed.”
    “ You should be committed, to let that little hottie slip between your fingers.”  
      TJ was annoyed by the way his friend was leering after Danny. “Leave him alone, he's too young for you.”  
    “ Maybe, but I noticed it didn't stop you from checking out his tight little ass as he walked across the room.”  
    “ Nothing stopping me from looking. Anyways, someone has to keep an eye on him. There are way too many perverts around here.”  
    “ Present company included I hope.”  
    TJ laughed, but was even more determined to watch out for his enchanting little kisser.

    “ There you are, Dan. Here, have a drink,” Greg said, handing him a loaded cocktail.  
    “ No, thanks. Are we leaving soon?”  
    “ No, not yet. Not until we have a few more drinks. The night's still young. Here, lighten-up,” he said, shoving the drink in Danny's hand.  
    Danny took a cautious sip to placate him.
    “ Where have you been?” Greg asked, draping a heavy arm over the boy's shoulder.  
    “ Talking to TJ.”  
    “ Looked to me like you were doing more than talking,” his roommate, Carl, announced from behind.  
      Danny took another sip and remained silent.  
    “ What do you mean?” Greg asked.  
    “ Apparently our new roomie here swings the other way."  
    “ Is that a fact? No wonder he wasn't interested in Ashley. Dan, if I had known you liked it up the ass, I could have obliged you much sooner,” Greg said, with a malicious chortle.  
    Stunned speechless, Danny stared, unsure of what to say or think. He was quickly reassessing his situation. He hadn't wanted to come to this party in the first place. It was Greg who insisted that Danny come along and meet some of his other friends.
    Greg was several years older, and had always been good to him at work. He and Carl offered to let Danny crash at their place when he needed a place to stay. Technically, he wasn't a real roommate, as he didn't have a room. He was staying with them temporarily, sleeping on the couch until he could save enough money to get a place of his own. Only, it was hard to save up when he didn't make much money. Although he didn't pay rent, he contributed to the household budget as often as he could. He was thankful for a place to stay. Even though he felt underfoot at times, they weren't rushing him to get out.
    He hadn't been living with the two men very long so he didn't know them all that well. Seeing his roommates
