TONY

“Vanya?” I call out, my voice echoing softly in the silent hallway. I knock lightly on her door just in case, but yeah, she must’ve already left for class.

I sigh and walk into the living room, where the morning light pours through the windows, casting soft gold across the hardwood floor. Vanya’s weapon of choice is still on the floor. I pick it up and move to the recessed nook behind the couch and place it on the bookshelf.

“Lukas?” No response. I guess he must have slipped out too, after…well, after the apology blowjob. The one that made me come so hard, I practically blacked out.

I stretch, and a satisfying pop echoes through my spine.

I wander over to the coffee table and check my phone, before plopping myself down on the sofa.

09:13 AM.

I squint at the lock screen. A few missed messages, group chat memes, a reminder about the student council meeting, and one from my TA asking if I’m still presenting this week. Right. The psych seminar. And a text from my boyfriend.

    TONY (CHRISTMAS EVE)The house smells like pine garlands and Rose's cinnamon rolls baking in the oven. Christmas Eve morning has that particular quiet to it, the kind that makes you feel like the world is holding its breath. I'm at the coffee machine, fumbling with the filters because my hands are still shaky from last night. Caleb wanders into the kitchen, still wearing yesterday's clothes. His hair is messy and he looks like he's slept about as well as I have. The pole room upstairs feels like it happened to someone else, but seeing him brings it all back."Morning," he says, grabbing a mug from the cabinet. His voice is careful, neutral."Hey." I keep my eyes on the coffee maker. In daylight, last night feels complicated in ways I don't want to think about. Luke will be here soon, and I have no idea how to act normal.I wish Caleb would give me a little bit of space to process what happened last night. Whatever that was.Just then, the front door bursts open. "Tony? You up?" Luke'

    TONY.The music plays softly, a deep beat that moves through my body. Sweat shines on my chest. The polished pole feels smooth against my skin. Up here in this room, tucked away from everything else, I’m free. No school stress, no rich friends to impress, no need to measure myself against expectations. Just me, the burn in my muscles, and the quiet thrill of control. Vanya sits where she always does, silent and still. Watching but she never interrupts. She gets it. I push off, arching my back as I spin— There’s movement in the doorway. My grip slips. I slide down too fast, landing off-balance with a quiet thud. My heart kicks hard against my ribs as Caleb steps out from the shadow.Of course. He's still here, in the guest room. I forgot. A quick, hot feeling of shame hits me. He just stands there, blinking in the dim light, holding a water glass like some half-assed excuse. "You—" My voice comes out rough. "What are you doing here?" He lifts the glass slightly. "I just

    CALEBThe evening stretches on, a strange blend of forced politeness and underlying tension. I watch as Brooke, Ham, and Blake finally start talking about leaving, their excitement for the secluded cabin trip overriding any lingering awkwardness. They exchange air kisses and promises to text, their expensive cars rumbling to life in the driveway before finally pulling away.Tony, Luke, Vanya, and I are the only ones left. Tony and Luke, though, are in their own world. They're on the big couch, close together. Tony's hand rests on Luke's leg, his thumb drawing slow circles. Luke leans his head toward Tony, a soft smile on his face, and they keep looking at each other in long, private ways. Sometimes, Tony whispers something I can't hear, and Luke's laugh is quiet and soft, a sound just for them. Once, Tony's fingers go into Luke's hair, pulling him in for a quick, gentle kiss that's barely there, but clear to see. It's a quiet, strong closeness, and it makes my chest feel tight and unc

    CALEB My phone keeps buzzing against the nightstand, Ellie’s make flashing repeatedly across the screen. She’s probably heard that I won’t be coming home for Christmas and wants to know why. I’m not ready to talk to her. I watch the phone ring, after the fourth ring goes to voicemail she finally stops calling. I can't deal with this right now. Not when I'm finally starting to feel like I can breathe again. Voices drift up from downstairs, laughter and the sound of cars pulling into the circular drive. Through my window, I can see expensive cars parked haphazardly: a BMW, what looks like a Mercedes SUV, and another low and red that's definitely worth more than my dad makes in a year. I've been dreading this moment for the past three days. Tony mentioned some friends would be stopping by, that they always get together when everyone's home from school. I check my appearance in the mirror, smoothing down my hair and adjusting my sweater. It's one of the nicer ones I own,

    CALEB The Mercedes glides to a stop in front of what can only be described as a mini mansion, and I feel my breath catch in my throat. Vanya wasn’t bluffing. We've just come up a winding drive that curves through towering pine trees, and as we rounded the final bend, the house revealed itself like something from a movie. This sprawling stone and shingle structure that seems to grow right out of the rocky Maine coastline. It's got to be at least three stories, with dormers and bay windows and what looks like a wraparound porch that faces the water. The whole thing is nestled among towering pine trees that sway gently in the salt-tinged breeze. The air is crisp and clean, as I step out of the car, carrying the scent of pine needles and something floral from the gardens that seem to surround the property. There are roses, even in December, somehow still blooming in protected beds near the house, and the smell mixes with the harbor air to create something almost intoxicating. I

  • SWEET DEBAUCHERY: AN M/M COLLEGE, CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE   CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR

    CALEB I’m stuck between Luke and Tony on a tense and awkward drive to Coastal Maine. Vanya’s in the front seat singing along to a song by Lana Del Rey playing in the car stereo. While I keep locking eyes eyes with the driver, Matt on the rear view mirror, I don’t like the look in his eyes. It’s unsettling. The silence in the backseat is thick enough to cut with a knife. It's like being trapped between two storm clouds, waiting for lightning to strike. Luke's jaw is clenched so tight I'm surprised his teeth haven't cracked, and Tony's staring out the window like the passing trees hold the secrets of the universe. Every time one of them shifts, the other tenses up, creating this ripple effect of discomfort that makes me want to crawl out of my skin. The car we're riding in is this sleek black Mercedes that still smells like new leather and that expensive car smell–that mix of polish and money that makes you afraid to touch anything. The seats are this buttery soft leather that p
