CHAPTER 19
MATEO
I watched our semen swirl around then disappear down the drain.
“Fuck. I’m going to have to drink more water if we cum this much every day.”
I laughed at Zach’s comment then asked, “How often were you jacking off before?
Zach shrugged. “Every other day. More with recent events.”
I knew what he meant. “You mean Jake?”
He nodded.
“Yeah, he’s been a little handsy.” I turned away from him to rinse my stomach off.
“That’s not always a bad thing,” Zach said, sliding his arms around me.
I leaned back against him. He squeezed me closer, pulling my ass against his softening dick.
“Why didn’t we do this sooner? It’s amazing.” I felt a kiss on my back.
“I think we’re more than making up for lost time.”
“Mmm. Can you big-spoon me tonight?” I asked.
“I can big-spoon you every night. ”
“I’m holding you to that.” I turned, pressing our bodies together, and reached down to grab-
“Don’t start that again! Let's at least move to the bed.” Zach stepped out of the shower to towel off, so I turned off the water and followed him.
“Speaking of Jake, have you heard from him lately?” I asked.
“Nope. Kind of weird, right?”
“ I’m here. ”
“There’s your answer,” Zach said.
I watched his ass as he walked out. It was hot, but I had little desire to fuck Zach. Honestly, looking back at my sex life, I had little desire to fuck anyone. After Jake’s exploration of my ass was any indication, I wanted to be the one getting fucked.
By the time I was dry and my teeth were brushed, Zach was already in my bed. He held the covers up as I approached.
“I could get used to sleeping like this if that’s what I have to look forward to.” Zach was naked too.
I slipped under the covers and wiggled backwards so our bodies were touching.
“You’re getting hard again,” Zach said, his fingers wrapped around my shaft.
“I’m gonna stay hard if you leave your hand there. I didn’t want you to move it!”
He put his hand back on it and I reached to turn off the light.
After a few minutes of silent cuddling and his hand on my boner, Zach said, “So Jake, when do you disappear for good?”
The answer came almost immediately.
“ I don’t know. I haven’t ever done this before .”
It was my turn to ask a question. “We’re your first then?”
“ Yes .”
“Why’d you pick us anyway?”
“ This used to be my room. I think it had to be you .”
“Oh, that’s so sweet,” I said.
“Sounds like a line from Love Actually. ”
“ It’s actually the title of a Frank Sinatra song .”
“I thought you died in the nineties, how do you know Frank Sinatra?” Zach asked.
“ I think the better question is how do you not ?”
“How did you know he died in the nineties?” I asked Zach.
“When I found out his name, I looked up the names of the guys that died in the accident. Jake was one of them, so I just assumed.”
“Oh.” I had never even thought to do that. “What happened back then Jake?”
Silence.
“Jake, you there?”
“ The short version is I tried to break up a fight and the balcony railing broke. All three of us fell. ”
I was curious what the fight was about, but before I could say anything, Zach asked, “Are the other guys’ ghosts hanging around here too?”
“ I’m not sure. I haven’t seen any others. ”
“So…are you just gonna hang with us all the time? Watch us have sex?”
“ Not sure and maybe sometimes .”
I wasn’t surprised considering what he had done to me.
“Besides jacking you off in the tub the other day, has Jake ever touched you, Zach?”
“Uh, a couple times, at least. Remember that time you caught me in the tower? I covered myself with the pillow.”
“Yeah.” I definitely remembered.
“That was Jake jacking me off. How about you?”
“He finger-fucked me til I came,” I answered.
“Jesus Christ.” I felt Zach sit up beside me. “Didn’t you feel violated?”
“A little at first, but it felt too good to care.”
We settled back together in silence. Zach’s fingers intermittently caressed me in different places, almost absent- mindedly. My butt, my hip, my back – then a finger or two would go for my balls or shaft. That’s when I would groan and grind backwards into his dick. He was hard as a rock now and I could feel it nestled against me.
I wanted to ask Jake more questions, but I was starting to nod off. The combination of Zach’s warmth behind me and my post-orgasm haze – even with my hard-on – were pushing me to sleep. “Good night, Zach.”
“Good night, Teo.”
I turned my head, asking for a kiss, and Zach obliged.
The blaring of Zach’s alarm woke me up.
“It’s too early,” I mumbled. At some point during the night, I had flipped and nuzzled into his chest. Our legs were tangled together.
“I never miss a class, Teo.” Zach started extricating himself from my limbs, then slipped out from under the covers, leaving me in my warm cocoon. “Plus, it’s almost time for finals.”
“I know. I should get up and go to the gym before–you need me to take care of that for you?” I crawled to the edge of the bed, but Zach scurried to his corner of the room.
“I’m starving, Teo. No time for a BJ,” he said, pulling on briefs.
“What about my breakfast juice?”
Zach gave me a confused look, so I explained. “Breakfast juice. Blowjob. BJ. It was code.”
“You’re such a dork sometimes.”
“ I’m a dork?!” I was out of bed now, creeping across the room.
“Don’t you dare! I don’t want to be late.”
I dashed the last few feet and grabbed him in my arms–“I just want some affection”–then smothered him with kisses. He finally relented and kissed me back, so I let him go.
“I’ll let you finish getting dressed.” I turned towards my dresser and picked out a sparkly thong. If he didn’t want to mess around, then I’d tease the fuck out of him.
“Looks like a nice day out at least,” Zach said. “Whoa!”
“You like?” I turned, so my ass was facing him, then bent over to pull my socks on.
Slap!
“Of course I like it, but I’m still not messing around.”
I gave him my best pout as I stood up. Zach was fully dressed, his messenger bag slung around his shoulder.
“I can walk with you until Ross if you hurry up.”
I wanted as much time with him as possible – they didn’t call it the honeymoon phase for nothing – so I stuffed my gym bag with some shorts, a tank top and my water bottle, and pulled jeans and a sweatshirt on as fast as I could.
“Ready!”
It wasn’t worth taking the Jeep since parking for second years was scarce. Unfortunately, bikes were out too with the ice. Greek row was gorgeous, being so close to the woods, but it was also on the fringe of campus.
Zach was up so early because the walk would take a bit, plus he was getting breakfast too. Once we split, I’d jog to the gym. We didn’t see anyone else in the house until we made it to the bottom of the stairs.
“Evan?”
He was just about to reach for the door handle when I recognized him.
“What are you doing here so early?”
Zach elbowed me in the stomach. I had no idea why.
“I, uh…crashed here last night.”
“Rough night? You don’t look wrecked.”
“Thanks, I guess.” He ran his fingers through his hair, which was weird. He only did that when he was nervous.
“You should’ve texted me. I could’ve held your hair, kept the vomit out of it.”
“Next time. You guys heading to campus?”
“Yeah, you got class or you want to come to the gym with me? Flush out your system?”
“I don’t have any clothes.”
I patted my bag. “I’ve got extra.”
“It seems I have no more excuses then.”
“Atta boy.”
I reached back for Zach’s gloved hand, which he gave to me, then side-by-side, the three of us walked to campus.
“How’s the relationship going?” Evan asked.
“Good” we both answered.
“We’ve decided to come out,” I said.
“Not like we’re telling everyone we see,” Zach added.
“But we’re not going to hide it.”
Evan sighed. “That’s nice.”
“You okay, hubby?” I put my other arm around him and squeezed.
“Just figuring things out.”
I glanced at Zach. He was giving me what seemed like an encouraging smile.
“I’m all ears at the gym if you want to talk. We can also skip it and go get some coffee and a pastry at the Sticky Bun if you want.”
“No, I need to be good.”
“So, gym then the Sticky Bun?” I suggested.
Evan laughed. Finally. I was relieved to see his smile. “Sounds good.”
In a few more minutes, we were at Ross. Students were filing in, ready to eat.
“Well, I’ll see you later.” Zach shrugged.
“Come here.” I pulled him towards me so we were facing each other. “You still good letting people know?”
He nodded so I kissed him. Not with tongue, but long enough to smell his cologne and savor that cherry lip balm. I hadn’t even seen him put it on.
It was possible he was just naturally cherry-flavored.
“Have a good workout.” With a little wave, Zach turned and headed inside.
No one had given us a second glance. As it should be.
“Now, as for you”–I looked Evan square in the eyes–“are you going to tell me what’s up?”
“I-I’m not ready to talk about it yet. It’s…different.”
“Okay.” I wasn’t sure what that meant. “Are you okay? Someone’s not hurting you, are they?”
“No, it’s just that–you know that threesome I had a while back?”
“Yeah?”
“It kind of kept going.”
“Really?” Something clicked in my brain. “Wait, with two of our brothers?”
“That’s the issue. They’re not ready for it to be public.”
Damn it. Zach and I are flaunting ourselves in front of him and he’s struggling with all this. I grabbed his arm to stop him and wrapped him in a hug.
“And you want it to be?” I asked.
“I mean, it’s not traditional.” He shrugged me off and we kept walking. “But this is Vermont and we’re in college. If not now, when?”
I didn’t know what else to say. “I’m sorry, Evan.”
“It’ll work itself out or it won’t. They’re just hard to resist.”
With Zach touching my body, I felt everything with such an intensity. I could only imagine having two guys at once. I shivered, but not from the cold.
“You have free reign with me at the gym,” Evan said. “Let’s forget about all this for a bit.”
“Sure.”
I couldn’t help but wonder who he was messing around with, and why they felt the need to keep it private. It sounded like a possible relationship. Maybe that scared them? Though most guys loved telling everyone their sexual business. It’s all you usually heard about after a party for sure.
“That didn’t sound so convincing.”
“Well, I’m not going to pulverize you or anything, but don’t you worry, I can make you sweat.”
He slapped me on the back. “That’s a good husband.”
I had almost forgotten, but Liam texted me just as I got out of my last class. We had an officer meeting tonight.
Teo: I’ll see you after dinner.
Teo: I forgot about an officer meeting.
Zach: Shocking.
Teo: Don’t be mean.
Zach: I’ll make it up to you later.
Teo: I’m going to tell Liam about us.
Zach: Okay.
Teo: Is that okay?
Zach: Yeah.
Zach: The twins probably told half the house already.
That was likely true.
The sun was setting as I made my way back to the frat. It wasn’t even six o’clock yet and it was already getting dark – something I’d never get used to.
“Teo!” Sean greeted me as I closed the front door behind me. “I heard the news. I’m jealous.”
“The news?”
“Yeah. You’ve got a hot piece of ass as a roommate.”
“Excuse me?”
“I heard you and Zach are together, and don’t worry, I’m totally cool with it. Not gonna lie, Teo, I’ve thought about messing around with a friend before.” He leaned in to add, “Must be nice to be able to fuck him whenever you want.”
I was so shocked at his comment that I didn’t have time to say anything before he dashed off.
The other three were already in the meeting room when I got there. I closed the door behind me.
“How many brothers know about me and Zach?” I asked before sitting down.
“What about you and Zach?” Liam asked.
Apparently, not everyone knew yet.
“We’re dating.”
“Really?”
“Yeah,” I answered. “Is that a problem?”
“Oh, fuck no, bro. I’m just–well, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. You guys are practically glued at the hip.”
“Did either of you mention it to anyone?” I asked the twins.
They both shook their heads.
“Anyone want to wager a guess as to why Sean was spouting off just now about me fucking Zach whenever I want.”
I knew immediately from their expression that the twins knew something and I didn’t have to ask. Jayden spoke up.
“Shit, man. Aiden and I were talking earlier. We thought we were alone. He must’ve heard us.”
“For the record, Zach fucks me. That’s the plan anyway. We haven’t…done that yet.”
“It’s your business. We shouldn’t have been talking about it,” Aiden added. “There’s no excuse really. We’re sorry. ”
“It’s fine. I’m just afraid Zach won’t like it if the whole house starts talking about us. The brothers love gossip.”
“We’ll try to nip anything shady in the bud.”
“Thanks, Jayden.”
Liam, who still looked a bit shocked, said he’d do the same, then proceeded to go over the short agenda for the meeting.
Unfortunately, I was slightly distracted by Sean’s comment and worried about what Zach would think. But on the plus side, my only responsibility for this meeting was to report back on the holiday break survey I put together as requested.
“It seems there’s only one brother staying here for the holiday break. Malik.”
“Did you say Malik?” Liam asked.
“Yup.”
“Oh.” He seemed a little concerned. “I didn’t know that.”
“Since the dining halls will be closed and most of campus shut down, I propose that we ensure there are enough groceries for him, and leave him the emergency credit card just in case.”
“I can take care of it,” Liam said.
“I’m good with what Teo said,” Jayden added, “but if you want to take charge of it, that works for me.”
“I can bring in some firewood from the barn. If the power goes out, he can get a fire going in the main room and sleep in there.”
“Thanks, Aiden. That’s a great idea,” I said.
“I have my moments.”
“Anything else?” I asked.
“Just planning the back-to-school second semester kickoff party,” Liam answered. “But we’re co-hosting with Tri Delta to raise money for St. Jude’s.”
“To be honest, their VP has done most of the work. We’re just paying for half of it and providing the space,” Jayden said.
“If there’s anything that needs to be done, just let me know via email.” I was anxious to get to Zach. “We can always chat over break if needed. ”
“Sounds good, bro. Go find your boy.”
I wanted to tell Liam he wasn’t my boy , but it was nice that he was so chill about it. After a quick bro hug with each of them, I got out of there and made my way to our room.
It was dark when I got there, but his shoes were by the door and with the light from the hall, I could see his clothes were strewn in a path to his bed.
“Zach?”
