Chapter 10: Cole
I’m really thankful that Kent is here right after my lay off phone call. The trip to the gym is exactly what I need. Trevor was fine with us stopping by to grab the keys from him as long as we brought him a case of beer. Neither of us really wanted to stop by the liquor store on the way there, but I knew there were several cases of imported beer at the Mansion and I had absolutely no trouble stopping by there on the way and yanking it right up. What are they gonna do, fire me? On the way there, I fill Kent in on everything that Jeff said. How all of the people that I work with are going to be effected and that that worries me more than anything that’s going to happen to me. I can figure something out, but some of these people don’t have the education or the options to do anything other than what they are doing. And there’s no way that they would get as much money as they had been making at the Mansion because they had been there for so long. I actually end up getting myself ev

Chapter 11: Cole
I AM BORED! Like, pulling my hair out, screaming my head off bored. This whole not having a job thing is not for me. Add to that the fact that we are stuck in the apartment 24/7 and I’m going insane! I hate TV, unless I’m watching porn. I really only go online to find information about recipes and food trends. When I’m not working, I’m surfing, hiking, biking, or doing a pick up game of tennis. I love hanging out with people, cooking, and being outside. This shit fucking sucks. I have nothing to occupy my day. I have got to be bugging the hell out of Kent, but he’s been surprisingly chill. I think it’s because of the regular sex. He likes it when I take my frustration out on his ass. Or his mouth. I wake him up in the morning, fuck him at lunch, and rock his world to sleep at night. I think he likes it. That man is a nymphomanic. Weird thing is that he’s been sleeping in my room lately. Like, curling right up with me at night. That wasn’t something that we did

Chapter 12: Cole
December… I stare at the Excel spreadsheet on my computer screen, running one hand through my hair. My budget was not looking good for the coming months. Especially with Christmas at the end of the month, this was not looking good at all. The second I got laid off, I canceled nearly every subscription service that I had. I was sad to see my subscriptions to Men’s Health and Next Door Studios go, but I could get a lot of the workout and nutrition information online and I had my own little nympho sharing my apartment and my bed every night. I didn’t really need to watch other guys fucking when I could just call Kent into the room with me and go at him anyway I wanted. Dude is a freak and he loves my cock however I want to give it to him. We also had a rooftop garden on our building that several neighbors and I had petitioned our landlord to start several years ago, so that cut down on some of our produce budget, especially since I canned and pickled some of them. But even w

Chapter 13: Kent
When Cole had his little mini panic attack about his money situation, it was all that I could do to calm him down. I had just wanted to pull him into my arms and make everything better for him. Here lately, that’s what I’ve been wanting to do more than anything: Make Cole as happy as possible. It’s…weird. I mean, we’ve been friends for as long as we’ve been roommates and, yeah, we’ve had a lot of great times together, but I can’t say that I’ve ever felt this need to…protect him, I guess you could say. I’ve never felt this urge to not only keep him physically safe, but to also care for his emotions. It’s a new feeling for me. Ok, well, not exactly new. I’ve felt it before when I thought that Stephen and I were in love. But that’s definitely not happening here. I’m definitely not in love with Cole. Not at all. We’ve made it very clear that this is a friends-with-benefits relationship only. I just really like being around him, always have. He’s funny, charming, witty, se

Kent has returned to Zoom’s headquarters for several hours every day. The man has been like my own personal advertisement. By the end of the first week, Every person in his office his signed up for at least two days of me bringing them food. And I’ve got several people in the building also asking me for meanus so that I can make dinner several times a week. It’s awesome and it’s keeping me busy during the days that Kent isn’t there. By the end of January, I’ve got Zoom having me cater their Friday lunches, the bank on their bottom floor having me cater them on Thursdays, every person in our building getting at least one meal from me a week, and I have several people in buildings close by that want to set up a schedule. I’ve even been able to hire two of my kitchen guys to help me by delivering food and one of the sus chefs to help me on my busiest days to help with prep and packaging. Money’s starting to flow in and I’m definitely feeling a lot better about things right now.

Chapter 15: Cole
It takes about 20 minutes for us to get from Zoom’s headquarters to our apartment parking garage. Kent follows me the whole way and he jumps out of his car and is at my door before I’ve even got my seatbelt off. He pulls the door open and bends down, kissing me forcefully. I can’t help the moan that escapes me. It’s so fucking good. The second that I open my mouth to moan, his tongue sweeps into my mouth, tasting me. One of his hands fists in my hair while the other grabs my neck, squeezing lightly. When he pulls away, I’m breathless, but he doesn’t let me get my breath back before he’s sucking on my neck, in the spot just under my ear. Just where I like it. “What the hell has gotten into you, Kent?” I ask, though I’m not complaining at all. “I need you. Seeing you looking all sexy in your fucking chef’s coat and skinny jeans, your fucking arms jacked from all the exercising that you’ve been doing. You’re fucking tan and scruffy and God, you’re so fucking hot and I ne

Chapter 16: Cole
April 2021… I pick up my phone, seeing that my old manager from the Hayes Mansion, Jeff Carpenter is calling. I tilt the phone to Kent and he gives me a surprised look. “What does Jeff want?” Kent asks me. I shrug. Guess we’ll find out. Kent pauses the movie that we’re watching, all cuddled together with some garlic and parmesan popcorn that I made. He gets up and takes the empty bowl with him to the kitchen and I pick up the phone. “Jeff?” “Cole! It’s so good to hear your voice, buddy. I’ve missed you around here,” Jeff’s booming voice rings out in my ear. I cock an eyebrow to no one in particular as I ponder over his words. What does he mean he misses me? I mean, we were friendly and I had spent enough time with him to enjoy his company, but he’s not my friend or anything. He’s my boss that laid me off and fired all of my employees. Not his biggest fan. Instead of responding to that, I just say, “How is everything going? Is there something that you need?” H

Chapter 17: Cole
I stare at Kent, confused as hell and unable to understand what it is he is trying to tell me. “What do you mean you’re not my boyfriend? Of course you are.” Kent looks straight into my eyes and there’s something there that I’m not sure how to read. Almost like he’s begging me to understand. Begging me to not push him. But also begging me not to let go. “That wasn’t what we agreed to, Cole. We’re friends with benefits. Fuck buddies. That’s it,” he says to me. I’m shocked. I can’t believe that after nearly a year of just us, nearly of year of waking up beside each other, calling each other pet names, and cuddling on the couch, nearly a year of the best sex of my life, Kent would say that. “Yeah, we started that way, but, I mean, come on, Kent,” I’m looking at him, trying to plead with my eyes that he understand. That he acknowledge what we are to each other. What we’ve built here. “Kent, we’ve been together for a year. I know that you have to have developed feelin

Chapter 18: Kent
What the fuck just happened? I think that I had just blacked the fuck out and when I came back around, Cole was walking out the door telling me that when I wanted a fuck to just let him know. Did I really just tell him that I wanted to go back to just being fuck buddies? That’s not what I want. I want to stay doing what we’ve been doing. I think that I just got scared when I heard him call me his boyfriend. Fucking Stephen is fucking me over again. Cole is the first guy that I’ve allowed myself to have feelings for since Stephen. What the hell am I so scared about? I know Cole. I know that he wouldn’t do to me what Stephen has done. Why did I get so fucking scared? SHIT! I just fucked this up so damn bad. No, I don’t want to go back to being fuck buddies. I…I don’t know that I’m ready to put a label on us, but I do know that I don’t want to lose Cole. I…fuck! I think I might be in love with him. And I just told him that he couldn’t love me. I basically told

Chapter 19: Cole
That kiss with Kent had me worked up, but I couldn’t give in. I had to go. I wasn’t lying when I said that I had plans. I absolutely had things to do, but none of it was time sensitive. No plans that couldn’t have been put off for another day. I had some errands to run, things that needed to get done but just hadn’t gotten around to. Dropping off some returns at the post office. Getting my oil changed. Dropping some things off at the dry cleaners. Returning books to the library. Like I said, nothing pressing. But it was what I had planned for the day and I had told Kent that I would be running errands today before anything happened between us. Changing my plans to spend the day with him or even just to fuck him would have been boyfriend behavior. Not fuck buddy behavior. If all he wants me for is sex, then we can do that. But I’m not going to change my plans or my life just for him. I can’t do that. Because then I’ll just be setting myself up for more pain. I know
