The next day at the weight room, Zach and Mark were talking over how they would lead the team for the rest of the year. They decided that Mark would focus on the guards and Lee, while Zach would focus on the big-men and Ant. They discussed what they needed to work on with the team and, of course, “the bigger picture.” They both decided that Justin was the one who needed their help the most. Hopefully, they could help out Ant at the same time, but that would certainly be up to the two of them. The two couples seemed to be in good shape, but they needed to get some updates on Maxi, Luke, Lee, and Trey. They all kept to themselves for the most part. If they were involved, it was somewhere outside of Coach’s sight. So, Zach and Mark needed to spend some one-on-one time with them. Fortunately, it was an even swap of the workload, so that should be easy enough. They agreed to suspend their joint workouts for a few days so Zach could meet his two guys alone in the weight room and Mark could meet with his two guys on the court.
After several workouts with Zach, Mark was confident that he was always at least partially aroused when he was in the gym. He just couldn’t understand whether it was the physical activity, the other guys, or whatever that turned him on.
So, they finished their workout, took a quick shower, and headed over to check in with Coach and get ready for practice. They let Coach know what was going on and he seemed quite happy with the way they were handling the team.
Practice went smoothly. They did a short scrimmage with Zach’s team versus Mark’s team. Zach’s team won handily, mostly because of Devon and himself. As practice wound down, the two captains made sure that they let everybody know that nobody was allowed in the showers after practice. Well, everybody except Justin and Ant.
As practice ended, some of the guys hung out on the court for a bit. Others went down to the locker room and milled about. Mark headed down and got ready for his shower. He waited for Justin and Ant to head in, signaled Zach, and then hung up his towel and headed in. They were in their usual spots to the right. Ant first, then Justin with an open shower at the end.
“Good practice today, Ant!” Mark said as he slapped Ant on the backside. Ant flinched and slowly turned to Mark, obviously not amused. Mark headed to the end of the row by Justin. He was unsure how to approach the two, so he decided just to mix it up a bit. “I never noticed before, but you have a nice ass, Ant. Don’t you think so, Justin?” There was nothing but silence. “Not that I am really into that. I don’t exactly have the cock for that if you didn’t notice.” Mark chuckled a bit. “I am more of a cock-man. Any size, shape, or color. I just like cock. And that feeling when he buries his cock deep inside of you and you are completely in his control.” Mark made a very sexual groan.
Ant turned to Mark and said, “Why don’t you shut up?”
“I’m sorry, Ant,” Mark said. He put his hand on Justin’s shoulder and reached across to “fist-bump” Ant. Mark’s wet, slippery chest slid across Justin’s back as he did. Ant hesitated and then reluctantly complied. By the time Mark got back to his shower, Justin’s cock was on the rise. Mark immediately called attention to it. Ant was staring at Justin’s cock and Mark could see a bit of movement between Ant’s legs. Justin saw Ant looking and immediately headed for the shower entrance.
When he got there, he was greeted by a small wall of a human being. Zach said, “Justin. Ant. You two aren’t going anywhere for now. Mark, get your ass out of there.”
Mark walked by the two guys and said, “Have fun, boys!” and walked by Zach. He grabbed a towel and had a seat on the bench. Zach stood at the front entrance to the showers, making sure that nobody went either in or out.
Roughly fifteen minutes later, the two of them headed out of the showers. They were both smiling and being playful with each other. They dried off a bit and wrapped a towel around their collective waists. Zach let them pass.
Ant led the way. He stopped in front of Mark. Mark stood up and Ant bumped shoulders with him. He grabbed Mark’s hand, gave it a squeeze, and said, “You’re alright, man.”
Justin followed closely behind. He stopped in front of Mark. He just stood there for a bit, flashing a smile. Suddenly and unexpectedly he charged at Mark, giving him an aggressive hug. As they collided, both of their towels fell to the floor and they were standing there with everybody watching, completely naked with their cocks touching. Justin whispered, “Thank you” in Mark’s ear. Then he bent down and grabbed both towels from off of the floor. He handed the one to Mark and pinned the other around his waist. As he and the waiting Ant returned to their lockers, the locker room erupted in applause.
Zach’s voice shot out, “Alright, guys! Show’s over! Take your showers, you stinky fuckers!”
By that time, everybody had been waiting for at least ten minutes. It was a mad dash to the showers. Mark headed over toward Zach, who was still in his gym clothes. “That went well. I wasn’t sure at first. I thought maybe Ant was going to kick my ass for a bit,” Mark joked.
Zach laughed, “Ant! Pfft! He is a total softie.”
By that time, Zach was stripped down and Mark handed him a towel and waved his head toward the shower. As they headed to the shower, Mark mumbled, “That softie would kick my ass.”
They hung up their towels and as they turned around they saw that every shower was occupied. The layout in clockwise fashion was Jamar, Chris, and Lee on the right. Luke and Trey were at the back. Devon, D.J., and Maxi were on the right. “I think that we are waiting,” Mark whispered.
Zach charged into the shower in his usual less-than-subtle style. “Whoa! My kind of party here. Let’s do a bit of a team-building exercise. Chris and Jamar, I think that you two guys can share a shower.” He gave Chris a bit of a nudge toward Jamar, clearing out the middle spot on the left. “And let’s see, D.J. and Devon.” He gave D.J. a nudge over toward Devon’s shower, opening up the middle shower to the right.
