MasukI lost count of how many times I jerked off to the image of Adrian watching while I stroked myself until my cock was spent.
The next morning I couldn't stop thinking about it too during swim practice. And the one after that. Cole had a thesis paper due in three weeks and had essentially relocated to the library. He came home to sleep and left before I was fully awake. Some mornings I only knew he'd been there at all because his coffee mug was in the sink. The first time Adrian showed up on a Tuesday with no real reason I let him in because what else was I going to do. Stand in the doorway and say Cole isn't here like he didn't already know that. He obviously knew, and anything to have him this close—count me in. He brought food that time. Thai takeout. Two portions. I didn't say anything about that. We sat on opposite ends of the couch and ate and watched something neither of us was actually watching and when he left at midnight I stood in the middle of the apartment for a full five minutes doing absolutely nothing. The second time was Thursday. The third time was the following Monday and he brought wine and I opened it without hesitating and that was probably when I should have acknowledged that we had a situation on our hands. But I didn't. And neither did he. So who am I to complain? Cole had texted at seven. Don't wait up. Might sleep in the library honestly lol. Adrian knocked at eight. I opened the door and he was in a plain white t-shirt and grey sweats and his hair wasn't done and he looked so aggressively normal that something in my chest physically ached. "Cole's not here." I said. Just to say it. Just to remind one of us. "I know." He said. I stepped aside and let him in. We were two glasses in when he got quiet. "He forgot." Adrian said finally. "Forgot what?" "My birthday." He said it simply. "It was last Wednesday. He texted me at eleven pm when I was already asleep. Said sorry I forgot, happy birthday, I'll make it up to you." I stared at him. "He forgot again." He said. "Maybe he's been too busy," I said, trying to find an excuse that wasn't needed. "I'm not telling you so you'll feel sorry for me." He said, looking at me directly. "I'm telling you because I don't have anyone else to tell and that's a weird thing to realize about your own life." Damn. I thought about my dad saying I wasn't good enough and about all the things I'd never said to anyone because there was no one to say them to either. Even if I did, they wouldn't get it. For example, how do I explain to someone how eager I was to suck my best friend's boyfriend dick. "I get that." I said quietly. "Yeah?" "Yeah." I said. He looked at me for a long moment. Then he reached forward and refilled both our glasses and settled back into the couch and the distance between us was noticeably smaller than it had been a moment ago. We talked for hours. when it was late and the wine was gone and there was nothing left to hide behind. He told me about transferring schools and how lonely the first year had been. About how swimming was the only thing that felt like his when everything else felt borrowed. I told him about my dad. About the comparisons and the disappointment and how I'd decided sophomore year that I was going to make captain just to have one thing that was entirely mine. He went quiet when I said that. "That was your spot." He said. "The captain position." "It was going to be. Until someone stole it." I said. "I didn't know." "I know you didn't." "I'm sorry, Tommy." It was the first time he'd used my actual name. Not rookie. Not Tom. Tommy. I felt it everywhere including my dick. "It's fine." I said. My voice came out completely steady which was genuinely impressive given the circumstances. "It's not fine." He said. "You worked for it." "And you were better." I said honestly. "I was angry about it but you were better. The team needed you as captain." He stared at me like I'd said something that didn't compute. "What?" I said. "Nothing." He said. "Just — Cole never says things like that." "Like what?" "Honest things." He said quietly. " He's only ever about some in his class or an annoying project." The room was very still. He was looking at me with that unreadable expression again except it was more readable than usual and what I was reading was making it very difficult to remember all the reasons this was a terrible idea. He was close. Had been getting gradually closer over the past hour without either of us acknowledging it. Close enough that I could see the tiredness around his eyes and the slight tension in his jaw and the way his fingers were wrapped loosely around his empty wine glass. "Adrian." I said quietly. "I don't need your pity." He said. Just as quietly. "I wasn't going to say anything." "You were thinking loud." He said. "That's not a thing." "I think it is." He said. We both gazed at each other . The moment stretched and I could swear he wanted the same thing I did. His face was leaning in then his phone buzzed on the cushion between us. Startled, we both looked at it. Cole. Heading home actually. Couldn't focus. Be there in 20. Adrian picked up the phone. Read it. Set it back down. He stood up slowly and I stood up because he did and we were standing in my living room facing each other and twenty minutes was both forever and no time at all. "I should go." He said. "Yeah." I said. He stayed still for a moment before he moved and picked up his jacket from the arm of the couch and walked to the door and I followed because apparently I was doing that now. He stopped with his hand on the doorknob and turned to look at me one more time. "Thursday." He said. I blinked. "What?" "Cole has a study group thing Thursday night." He said. "He'll be gone till late." Then he left. I stood at the closed door with my hand flat against it and my heart back flipping. Was it what I was thinking or I was thinking wrong? Adrian McCall just... Fuck! It's a date.Enzo’s POVI never planned to end up on my knees in a private room above a club that didn’t appear on any map.The air smelled like expensive whiskey, gun oil, and the faint metallic tang of blood that never quite left the walls. Rocco sat in the wide leather chair like he owned the entire city, which, for all practical purposes, he did. Dark suit, no tie, sleeves rolled to the forearms. The kind of man who didn’t raise his voice because he never needed to. Asher stood to his right, half a step behind, arms crossed, watching me with those sharp green eyes that always seemed to know exactly what I was thinking.I was the new acquisition. The shared plaything. That was the deal my brother had made to clear a debt that would have otherwise gotten him killed. I hadn’t been consulted. I’d simply been delivered.Rocco’s gaze dragged over me slowly, from the collar of the white shirt they’d given me down to the way my hands flexed at my sides.“Take it off,” he said.My fingers went to the b
Josh's Pov Magnus’s eyes flashed with something dark and satisfied. He didn’t smile. He just nodded once, like a contract had been signed in blood, then turned away from me and closed the casket lid with a soft, final click. The sound echoed in the empty room. Daniel disappeared from view, sealed away, and the last physical barrier between what we had just done and the rest of the world vanished with him. I stood there with Magnus’s cum still leaking down my thigh, jeans fastened but not clean, mouth still tasting of him, and watched as he picked up his suit jacket from a chair and shrugged it on. His movements were controlled, almost calm, but the tension in his shoulders hadn’t eased. If anything, it had settled deeper. “The burial is in forty minutes,” he said without looking at me. “You’re with me all day. And when it’s over, you’re coming home with me.” I nodded even though he wasn’t watching. My voice felt scraped raw. “Okay.” He finally glanced back. His gaze dragged over
Josh's Pov The last door clicked shut with a soft, final sound. The funeral director had given Magnus a polite, careful look before leaving—something that said "take as long as you need"—and then we were alone. Just the three of us. Me. Magnus. And Daniel’s body lying still and pale in the open casket under the soft lights. The classical music had been turned off. The air felt heavier without it. The lilies still poured their thick, sweet smell into the room, mixing with the lingering traces of cologne that clung to the dead man like a second skin. My pulse hadn’t slowed since Magnus ordered me to stay. If anything, it had gotten worse. Louder. Meaner. Magnus hadn’t moved from the casket. He stood with his back partially to me, one hand still resting on the polished wood, head slightly bowed. The black suit stretched across his shoulders. I could see the tension in the line of his neck, the way his fingers flexed against the edge like he was fighting the urge to slam the lid shu
Josh's PovI arrived twenty minutes late on purpose.The funeral home sat on a quiet street lined with old trees that had already started dropping their leaves. The sky was grey. The kind of afternoon that felt like it was holding its breath. I parked two blocks away and walked the rest of the distance. I had on a black shirt sticking slightly to my back, jeans that were too tight and boots scuffing the pavement. Every step felt like a decision I kept making over and over again.I shouldn’t have come.The second I pushed open the heavy wooden doors a smell hit me—lilies, thick and sweet, mixed with floor polish and the faint, expensive cologne he used to wear. The same cologne that used to cling to my sheets, my skin, the hollow of my throat after he left in the middle of the night. It was everywhere in here, like the dead man had decided to haunt the air itself.Soft classical music leaked from hidden speakers, something slow and polite. People in black stood in small clusters, speak
Ryan's pov The coil at the base of my spine wound tighter with every deep stroke, every rough stroke of his hand and every filthy praise he breathed against my skin. My fingers dug into his shoulders hard enough to leave marks. I could feel the edge rushing up—sharp and inevitable. Ahhh....yes fuck." I couldn't help the words coming from my mouth. Zino drove in deeper and held there, grinding against that perfect spot, hand still working my cock in short, relentless strokes. “Let go Father ,” he ordered, voice low, sending all kinds of signals through my body. “Right here on the floor of your church. Let me feel you come apart.” The command shattered whatever was left of my resistance. I came with a choked cry, spilling over his fist and my own stomach in thick pulses while my body clenched around him. The pleasure was blinding, almost painful in its intensity. "Mmm. Mmm..." Zino kept moving through the aftershocks, short and hard, chasing his own release end while my body sti
Ryan's povI prayed until my knees ached.Two full days. Morning Mass, evening prayer, the long silent hours in between on the prie-dieu in the rectory chapel. I forced every memory of his mouth, his voice, the way he had looked up at me from the floor, into the shape of a confession and then begged to be scrubbed clean of it."Forgive the weakness. Forgive the sound I made. Forgive the way I held his hair. Erase him from me."It almost worked.By the second afternoon the sharpest edges of the memory had dulled. I could walk through the church without feeling the ghost of his tongue and slept without waking hard and furious at myself. When I looked at the empty space near the stone wall across the street and found no dark-haired stranger leaning there with a cigarette, something in my chest loosened with relief.He was gone.Thank God.I told myself that over and over while I wiped down the pews, while I replaced the candles, while I locked the side door at dusk. Good that he had take
Two months ago when my mom called to say Rhys was coming home for Thanksgiving I'd said great, cool, can't wait in the most convincing voice I owned and then sat on my dorm room floor for twenty minutes doing absolutely nothing.A year.Three hundred and sixty five days of distance and silence and
After my classes for the day, I didn't waste any time heading back to the dorm. It was only 6pm and I was so excited. I cleaned up and waited for 9pm. By 8:40 pm I got a text from Jennie You better not be doing what I think you are doing. I typed back immediately Ha ha. Very funny. You sh
It was finally Thursday. And guess what? I was handling it very maturely by not thinking about it every single second of every waking hour. Scratch that. I was not handling it maturely at all. out of excitement I even had to call my sister to tell her about it, because she was the only one
Cole sent me a text around 9pm. At the library till midnight. Don't wait up. Adrian might stop by to grab my hoodie. I stared at the message for longer than necessary then tossed my phone face down on the bed. Adrian might stop by. Well that's fine. It's cool. Completely fine. I lasted abou
