I glowered at my phone, my mood darkening as I read the latest text from my girlfriend. "Goddamn it," I muttered.
Cameron, my roommate, strolled into the living room at that moment. "Let me guess," he said. "Kendra's still pissed at you."
"Yep." Sighing heavily, I tossed the phone onto the couch cushion next to me. "How long is she going to punish me for saying I don't want to go to her friend's bridal shower? I mean, who drags their boyfriend to a fucking bridal shower?"
Cameron sank into the chair across from me. One look at his outfit—a crop top and skinny jeans—let me know he wouldn't be spending this Friday night alone. I felt like a slouch in my T-shirt and sweatpants, but it wasn't as if I was going anywhere. Not when Kendra had just texted me that we needed to "take a breather."
My roommate regarded me with a mixture of sympathy and wry amusement. "Spencer, you have to understand that it's not really about the bridal shower."
I frowned in confusion. "What do you mean?"
He rolled his eyes as if the answer was obvious. "You and Kendra have been dating almost a year, right?"
"Yeah. So?"
"So, now that her friend's getting hitched, she has marriage on the brain, too." Cameron shuddered dramatically at the mention of matrimony.
His grimace would have been comical if I weren't so aggravated. Still, I couldn't believe that was the reason Kendra was giving me the cold shoulder. "Nah," I said. "I told her a long time ago that I'm not looking to get married."
Cameron actually snorted at that. "You're both thirty, and while you might not be interested in settling down, even I can tell she's hoping for a ring on your upcoming anniversary."
His words hit me like a slap, and I could only stare at him in a daze for several seconds. He raised his eyebrows, like he was silently willing me to face up to reality. "Shit," I finally said. "I'm such an idiot!"
"You're not an idiot; you're just a little clueless." Cameron gave me a pitying smile before reaching for his own phone. "She's no good for you, you know."
My anger flared at that. Cameron was only a few years younger than me, but I still didn't like having a twenty-seven-year-old acting as if he was so much smarter. He was also gay and had never had a girlfriend in his life. Hell, I doubted he'd ever had any kind of serious relationship. Instead, he had hookups and flings. "How could you possibly know what's good for me?" I snarled.
Cameron looked up from his phone, seemingly unfazed. "Sorry, didn't mean to overstep," he said. Before I could accept his apology, he went on. "I thought you'd be out with Kendra tonight, so I invited someone over. Is that okay?"
My roommate usually stayed out late on weekends, and I saw the men he brought home only as they were leaving in the morning. "Sure, no problem at all," I said. "But you're not going out for dinner or drinks first?"
"Nope. This guy's married." Cameron added extra weight to that word, as if it tasted bad in his mouth. "So he can't stay out late."
Now it was my turn to snort. "Sounds like you two have absolutely nothing in common."
"We don't," he agreed. "But wait till you meet him. He's the finest Daddy I've ever seen!"
Cameron and I had been roommates for almost two years, so by now, I was well aware that he had a thing for older men. And they clearly liked him, too. He was slender, almost slight in stature, but I had to admit he was attractive. With sandy blond hair and blue eyes, he looked more like a college student than someone who'd be turning thirty in a few years. He had a great smile, accentuated by his full lips, and the men just flocked to him.
I sometimes wondered what it would be like to attract people so easily. I thought I was good-looking enough, but women certainly didn't fall at my feet. With my dark hair and eyes, I felt like Cameron's opposite. I was less self-assured and more brooding. Maybe that was the problem.
And in typical brooding fashion, I started contemplating my feelings for Kendra. I'd been so certain of my love for her, but the fissure that had recently opened up between us made me now question our entire relationship. Maybe Cameron was right; maybe she and I weren't meant to be together.
Drawing myself from that depressing line of thought, I asked him, "Do you want me to clear out so you have some privacy? I could go to a movie or something."
He waved a hand to dismiss my offer. "Stay if you want. But fair warning: we might get a little loud."
It was then that a knock sounded at the door. "Speak of the sexy devil himself!" Cameron hurried to let his guest inside. His face lit up in a smile when he saw the man outside our apartment. "Hey, Alaric, come on in!"
I tried not to stare at Alaric as he stepped into the living room. He had salt-and-pepper hair and was clean-shaven, which revealed the outline of his strong jaw. Though he wore a nice suit, it didn't disguise the fact that he was absolutely ripped. Towering above Cameron, he had to lower his head quite a bit to plant a kiss on my roommate's lips. While they embraced, Alaric slid his large hands down to cup Cameron's ass. I quickly grabbed my phone so I'd have something else to look at.
"Alaric, this is Spencer, my roommate," Cameron said.
Alaric strode toward me, extending his hand. For some crazy reason, I felt shy as I shook it.
"Nice to meet you, Spencer." His voice was deep and rich.
"You, too." I gave him what I hoped was an easy smile, revealing none of my discomfort.
When Alaric spoke again, his tone sounded downright seductive. "You going to be joining us tonight?"
My eyes widened, and I could hear Cameron trying to muffle his laughter. "Oh, no, I'm... uh..." I stammered while waiting for my roommate to help me out, but he seemed content to let me flounder. "I have a girlfriend," I finally blurted.
Alaric gave me a long look up and down, his tongue sliding over his lower lip. "And I'm married. Doesn't mean we can't have some fun, right?"
Cameron finally stepped in, grasping Alaric's arm. "Aren't I enough for you?" he asked, pretending to pout.
Alaric turned that sexy smile on Cameron. "Oh, you most certainly are, baby."
"Then let's go to my room."
I watched them head down the hall. Their excitement was almost palpable, which only served to remind me that I hadn't had sex in two weeks.
When I was alone in the living room once more, I found myself at a loss as to what to do. Maybe I'd go to a movie, after all. Staring at my phone, I checked showtimes at the local theater. The apartment walls were thin, and I tried to ignore the sound of Alaric's voice, which reached me as a murmur. It was soon followed by Cameron's laughter.
Then I heard a lust-filled moan. That was definitely Alaric, and I couldn't help but imagine what Cameron was doing to him at that moment. Alaric quickly satisfied my curiosity, for I heard him say, "Ah, yes, suck my cock! Just like that!"
As I squirmed on the couch, growing hot, the appeal of a movie faded. It was like I was on autopilot, climbing to my feet and heading down the hall to my room beside Cameron's. All the while, Alaric's moans continued. The man was certainly vocal! My own body soon responded to the pleasured sounds he made. I told myself it was because I was sex-deprived and horny, but I still felt weird about getting a hard-on.
Not weird enough to stop listening, however.
"Fuck yeah, take me deep!" Alaric urged.
As quietly as possible, I closed the door to my room and went to lie down on the bed. In the lamplight, I could see my erection straining against the fabric of my sweatpants. With just a wall between my bed and Cameron's, I could hear the action in his room even better.
"You love Daddy's cock, don't you?"
When Cameron replied, he sounded out of breath. "So fucking much! I can't get enough of your dick!"
My own dick was getting harder by the second. Though my face burned with shame, I didn't hesitate to pull down my sweats and underwear, letting my cock spring free. Cameron was now groaning, and I guessed Alaric was going down on him. I took hold of my dick and gave it a tentative stroke, expecting my arousal to fade. There was no way I'd manage to get off while overhearing two guys fuck.
Yet my excitement only grew.
"Mmm, yeah, Daddy, get that tongue deep in my ass!" Cameron said.
I gasped, unable to stop myself from visualizing Alaric tongue-fucking Cameron. The thought of my roommate spread wide made me stroke faster. I was flushed, close to sweating, and hurried to pull off my T-shirt. My panting made me feel lightheaded, and I forced myself to take a few deep breaths before I returned to jerking off.
Their foreplay seemed endless, and I resolved to edge so I wouldn't come before they did. Cupping my balls, I gave them a gentle squeeze. My cock pulsed, as if trying to coax me into stroking it again. But I made myself wait, my ears straining to hear every sound.
When they finally got down to fucking, I could hear the squeak of Cameron's bed. I could even hear the clap of their bodies connecting. I imagined Cameron on his hands and knees, with Alaric pounding him from behind.
"Yes, yes, fuck me hard, Daddy!" Cameron cried.
Alaric readily obliged. When I closed my eyes, fantasy and reality got all mixed up in my mind. At first, I vividly imagined the two men in the next room, but then I was the one kneeling behind Cameron. In my fantasy, I took Alaric's place, driving my hard dick into Cameron's ass again and again. Those mental images made me both ashamed and almost unbearably aroused. I writhed on the bed, my teeth clenched as I bucked my hips. All the while, Alaric's fervent grunts mingled with Cameron's groans.
I wasn't sure I had the strength to last; I was so fucking desperate to come! But then Cameron released what was clearly an orgasmic cry. As it trailed off to a whimper, Alaric let out a roar. I had to fight back my own shout as I climaxed as well. Cum landed on my belly and chest in thick globs. I kept stroking, my grip rough. It was as if I thought I could wring out every bit of shame and longing that had wrestled inside me tonight.
