As lighthearted as Ash had tried to make it sound when we heard about the school shut down and the cancellation of his interviews, we both are really freaked out. It doesn’t help that Matthew is calling every 20 or so minutes with updates from the government or from China or from a random, obscure website. Or that my parents are freaking out. Or that Ash’s parents are freaking out. Eventually, I put a ban on Matthew. He can only call once every two hours unless someone is dying, actively has COVID, or the world is coming to an end. The boy is so far up my ass, I’m surprised that he hasn’t started on his way here. I contact my advisor, Professor Shipley, to see what he thinks is going on. He and I have gotten really close, since he works in both the art and graphic design departments at NYU. He’s actually helped me combine my two mediums, painting and digital art, to do several different projects and it’s something that I want to explore when I have the time. Maybe I have t

While I was waiting for Ash, I freaked the fuck out by every thing that is going on. The fight for toilet paper sent me to the dark recesses of the internet and it was not a fun trip. I had no idea that seven days ago, there were 60 cases of COVID in the U.S. in 12 different states. Four days ago, the Grand Princess cruise ship was stranded off the coast of California because a man contracted COVID and died. 3,500 people were stuck on the ship and 21 of the crewmates have COVID. Wuhan province in China has had deserted streets for months because of their lockdown. Trump has asked for vaccine producers to accelerate their research. What a dumbass. Because that’s how science works. I’m reading through an article about possible causes of the virus when I jump at the sound of the locks on the door unlocking. “It’s just me, babe,” Ashton says as he opens the door. He starts putting things in the backseat as I try to get my breathing and heartbeat under control. I move to get

“You’re not coming back? Really? But all your stuff is here.” I’m astonished at what Kora just said. “My parents don’t want me coming back to the city. They’re worried about the virus and making sure that I can get everything that I need and honestly, I think they just want their family together in case the worst happens,” Kora says. Well, shit. That makes me feel real good about being here right now. Kora seems to understand what she just implied. “Oh, fuck! I’m sorry, Sam. You know I didn’t mean that. It’s just…” Her words fade out and I get it. “You’re scared. I’m scared to Kora. And if staying with your family is helping you feel better, then you should do that,” I say, trying to console my best friend. “I’m sorry, Sam. Thank you for helping me calm down.” “Of course, Kora.” Ashton holds me around the waist, his chin on my shoulder. He gives me a kiss on the cheek. “Ok. Now that that’s out of the way, I’m going to need you to give me a play by play of w

I’m in my room, trying to give Ashton some privacy in the dining area to do his interviews. We’ve been under quarantine for two weeks and there is no end in sight. Over that time, it seems like many of the corporations have been trying to figure out exactly how to continue business as usual. Everyone is having to work from home and they’ve been scrambling as to how to do everything. Ashton is doing his interviews over Zoom. It’s the weirdest thing. We made sure that there was nothing behind him that might be objectionable, especially since this was the first time that his employers were seeing him. We can’t have the pink penis shot glass from Kora’s sister’s bachelorette party and pictures of the two of us at Spring Break in Mexico in the background. Not really a good look during your interview. He had gotten emails from all four of the agencies that he had been supposed to interview with asking if he would be comfortable doing the interviews online. Of course, Ashton wasn’

As the weeks progressed, we settled into a routine. Ashton started his job the following week, everything online. We ended up having to swing by his job so that we could pick up a laptop for him. That was a bit of an otherworldly trip. There was literally no one on the road. No one on the street. It was like it was freaking Armageddon outside and it made the world feel like a ghost town. Like Ashton and I were the only people left alive. The guy who gave him the laptop placed it outside the building doors, still in its packaging, along with the software to install, and wrapped in a plastic bag. Told us not to get it until he was back in the building. It was strange, but I get it. After that, most of our daytime was spent side by side, but on different laptops with headphones on. Ashton had to go through an entire new employees orientation which took about a week with everyone trying to get used to using Zoom and sharing screens and just doing everything that they normall

“Hey Matt! What’s going on, big bro?” I say, picking up the phone. “You’re in a good mood! I don’t think I’ve heard you this happy to talk to me in months!” Matt says, chuckling. “Oh, brother mine, you exaggerate. I always enjoy hearing from you the first time of the dya. It’s when you call me three or four times in a day that I start to get tired of you,” I say, with faux sweetness. “There’s the brat I know,” he guffaws into the phone. “So what’s got you so happy, little sis?” “I just turned in my last assignment for the semester. I’ve officially finished my second year of college!” I gush. “That’s awesome, Sam! I’m so proud of you,” he says and I can tell by his tone that he has his proud big brother grin on his face, as if he had some part in raising me. “Thank you very much! I can’t wait to celebrate tonight. Ash and I are getting take out from my favorite pizza place, cheesecake from the bakery down the street, and a couple of cold beers to wash them all down,” I
Love in the Time of Quarantine Chapter 18
The second that I enter the apartment, the cheesecake is grabbed out of my hand, put on the side table, and I’m pressed against the door in a fervent, passionate kiss. Ashton hikes me up so that I’m propped against the door with my legs around his waist, his mouth ravaging mine and his hardening cock grinding into my pussy. I can’t hold back the moan at the amazing pleasure that is zinging through my system from every place that he touches me. My body starts to writhe on him as he devours me, his tongue tasting every inch of my mouth. My arms move over his shoulders and my fingers thread through his hair, pulling his braids out of the band that they’re in. I can fist my hands in his hair, pulling slightly and causing him to moan. His hands are all over my body, cupping my ass, nearly ripping my shirt as his hands dive under my shirt and bra to play with my nipples. His mouth wrenches away from mine and moves down my neck, sucking on the juncture of my neck and shoulder. “Fu

Ashton made good on his promise. After about five minutes of recovery time, he fucked me in my bedroom, in Kora’s room, and against the bathroom door. I was hoarse by the end of I don’t know how many orgasms. I mean, I knew that Ashton had stamina, but I had no fucking clue that he could go like that. I got home around 4 that afternoon. We didn’t stop for dinner until 8. I mean, fucking hell! We end up ordering two pizzas, one extra cheese and the other Hawaiian, because I don’t care what anyone says, pineapple belongs on pizza! And after four solid hours of fucking, Ashton eats an entire pizza by himself and I almost eat the entire second pie. We end up watching the first three episodes of the first season of American Horror Story, one of my fav TV show and one Ashton has never seen. I can’t wait to show him the whole show, especially the twist. The coffee table looks like a massacre of pizza boxes, plates with cheesecake residue, and beer bottles. By the time the third
