“What’re you working on?” he asked, tugging on the towel draped around his neck.
“History.”
“Still?”
“Yeah. But I just don’t have any motivation right now. This paper’s due on Monday, but I just can’t get into it,” I complained.
“Maybe you should take a break. We could go out and shoot some pool or something,” Wesley suggested, opening the fridge and looking inside.
“Yeah, maybe you’re right. Go clear my head and start fresh,” I agreed, leaning back in the kitchen chair and glancing at Wesley. He had a can of soda in his hand and his eyes rounded.
“Seriously? You want to?” he asked, cautiously optimistic.
“Yeah. Besides, I wanna see Kate and Lissa. We haven’t seen them in ages,” I answered, charmed and amused by Wesley’s excitement.
He put the can back in the fridge and pulled the towel from around his neck. “Cool! Let me go get dressed!”
We went to Cue and as we hoped and expected, Kate and Lissa were at a table in the back. They were smiling and laughing and so completely engrossed in each other that they didn’t notice us until we were standing next to them.
“Holy crap! I don’t believe it!” Kate shouted. “Where the hell have you guys been? We thought you died or moved to China or something!”
“Heh, nice to see you too,” Wesley said with a grin.
“I’m serious! Where have you two been? We haven’t seen you in forever!” Kate continued, furrowing her brows and standing with her hands on her hips.
“We’ve been around,” Wesley said, taking off his jacket and holding his hand out to take mine too. “We just haven’t gone out in a while since we got our own place. There hasn’t been a need to,” he added, with a lascivious grin in my direction.
“Oh yeah! That’s another thing!” Kate complained, stepping to the side to let Wesley pass. He hung up our coats and patted Lissa on the back before returning to my side. “You guys moved out forever ago and you never invited us over!”
“I know, I know,” I said with a laugh, holding my hands up as a sign of concession. “I promise we’ll have you over real soon, okay?”
Kate folded her arms on her chest and pouted, then looked at me with a forgiving smile. “Promise?”
“I promise,” I answered, drawing an X over my heart with my index finger.
“Man, you guys are so lucky. I wish I had my own place,” Kate mused aloud. “I know! Let’s get our own place after we graduate,” she said, spinning around and facing Lissa with a childlike smile.
Lissa’s eyes widened and her face reddened and she stared at Kate for a moment. “O… okay,” she answered. She only said one word, but her expression spoke volumes.
Kate realized the weight of her question on their relationship and glanced at the floor with florid cheeks. Then she turned to Lissa again and smiled wickedly, trying to reduce the intimate tension and exhilaration of the moment. “Then, maybe, we can get that strap-on I’ve wanted for so long.”
“What are you trying to say? My fingers and tongue aren’t enough for you?” Lissa retorted quickly, and then held her breath. She bit her bottom lip in embarrassment and looked at the floor. “I-I didn’t mean to say that… so loud.”
Wesley and I looked at each other with amused astonishment. They’d only been dating a couple months, but they’d been friends for years. Lissa’s unrequited love was finally returned and Kate learned exactly what love was and what it felt like. The girls smiled timidly at each other until Kate caught us spying on their intimate reflection. She latched on to Lissa’s arm and tugged her forward.
“I know she looks all sweet and innocent, but she’s really a pervert at heart,” Kate announced with a grin, perhaps appreciatively. Lissa glanced up at us and turned an even brighter shade of red.
“Heh, sounds like someone else I know,” Wesley said, bumping into me. He and Kate laughed while Lissa and I shared embarrassed shyness.
Kate pulled Lissa closer to us and then grinned with a sparkle in her eye. “I’ve been wanting to ask this for a while and since the subject came up,” Kate prefaced, smiling salaciously, “what’s it like? When it’s two guys?”
“Oh, it’s great! The best thing ever!” Wesley answered without the slightest bit of modesty.
I gaped at him and then glanced at Kate who smirked at me. “But… doesn’t it hurt?”
I remained silent and slack-jawed and Wesley pulled me closer and smiled devilishly. “Well, yeah, it did at first, but it felt good too. Really good,” he emphasized with a sly smile.
Kate and Lissa stared at us with wide eyes until Kate shook her head in disbelief. “What? No way! I thought for sure you would be the top!” Kate said loudly, looking at Wesley. “Are you serious?”
“Hey now, don’t underestimate this guy,” Wesley said, completely amused with himself.
The two girls exchanged glances between us, and I took a deep breath. Even the tips of my ears felt red-hot. “No, it’s not like that. It was only once. And to answer your question: yes, it did hurt. Like hell. But it felt good too,” I said shyly, unable to look up from the floor.
“See? I knew it!” Kate shouted giddily. “The idea of two guys together is so hot! Lissa thought that you would switch back and forth, but I knew Tor was the bottom,” she said, laughing and relying on Lissa to hold her up.
“You mean you thought about it?” I blurted out, turning from bright red to hot pink.
“Of course! You guys are both so cute and it’s a total turn-on when two good-looking guys get it on,” Kate explained happily.
I was so embarrassed that I felt like I had the wind knocked out of me. Kate went on to say that some of her favorite books were gay erotica and that there was even a whole
