Chapter 3: "Do You Mind If I take This Off?"
I woke up in his arms a few times during the night. Just a few brief lapses into consciousness while I remained mostly asleep. I remember feeling his plump, firm dick pressed up against me. It lay along my lower spine, almost burning with heat. When I pushed my back further into it, I felt it pulse.
Thump...thump...thump...
At one point I woke to find it perfectly wedged in my asscrack, the heat of it even more intense there. As I arched my back I felt his shaft rub along the sensitive skin of my hole. As I recall in that sleepy haze, he pushed even deeper. Not inside my hole, but he pressed his shaft along it so tight that it felt like it formed a seal. Once my anus connected with his shaft, the skin from each clung to one another. With most of the little movements we made, they would stick together. Every now and then one of us would shift enough that his rod would move along the skin, tightly pressed, and I'd feel a tingle all over.

When I woke up for real, the blinds were still closed but the slivers of daylight breaking through were enough to illuminate the room. Danny was gone. I was really hoping he'd be there.
I sat up in bed. Eric was also gone. Josh was still in bed, on the pullout; on his stomach; head to the side; hair covering one of his eyes; the other eye open, looking at me.
"Aaaah!" I cried, alarmed by his stare.
"Sorry," he said, rousing himself, "I just woke up, too."
My head ached, but not intolerably. I tried to orient myself. I was still naked. I remembered last night.
I had brought my clothes up to the bedroom, but they were nowhere to be seen. My phone, keys, and wallet were all on the bedside table, next to a full glass of water--from which I took a big gulp. I had left all those things in my pockets, I thought.
I reached for my phone. "11:30 AM", it read, along with, "4 missed calls."
It could be worse, I thought. It also could have been better and they could have texted, so I could just text back, but whatever.
I called the house line. My mom answered. I got the usual reminders and tiny guilt trips about how I need to call them and
blah, blah
. I indulged them--I usually did.
"Yes, I know, I'm sorry I was just having fun with friends,"
Josh nodded knowingly and smiled as I expertly deflected the parental guilt-trip with an implicit appeal to my social well-being. I got an 'all right, son' (in Urdu) in response, which means I had won. I told her I'd be home in a few hours.
Being the youngest of three children--by a whopping nine years--my parents tended to be pretty permissive with me. They weren't with my older sister and brother--as those two were keen to remind me--but I think they got the chance to see that their strict, hands-on parenting didn't really work out the way they wanted. It tended to just make everyone unhappy; perhaps them most of all. So they took a light touch with me.
They didn't know I was gay. Not officially, though, I sometimes wondered how they could not. Especially my mom. I was good about covering my tracks, porn-wise, but there were other tells. I used to mess around with one of my few close (and gay) friends, Latif, in our house. I was constantly in my room singing and dancing to pop divas. I went through a Taylor Lautner/
Twilight
phase. Part of me wonders if it was just wilful ignorance.
After hanging up the phone I turned to Josh, who was now sitting up in bed. He was shirtless. He had a nice chest.
"Eric and Danny are probably in the kitchen," Josh mumbled, "They usually get up a bit before me."
Josh was stumbling out of bed, rubbing his head.
"You coming downstairs?" He asked me.
"In a minute; just gonna have a quick shower," I said.

I came down the stairs wrapped in the towel, my skin all fresh and tingly from the shower. Eric and Josh were chatting at the dining table with empty bowls of cereal in front of them. Danny was at the sink, filling what looked like a plastic tub with water.
"Good morning, fellas," I said, cheerfully, walking past the table towards Danny.
He was wearing a gleaming white tank top and a pair of light blue mesh shorts. A little tuft and a few wisps of dark hair poked out from his underarm, just above the curve of his bicep. He looked good, as always.
"There he is!" Danny shouted, spotting me as he carried the tub over to the espresso machine on the counter. "You want a cappuccino? Some cereal?"
"Sure, cappuccino, in a second," I said, "I was actually just looking for my clothes first."
As I began speaking Danny fired up the coffee grinder, its screeching buzz drowning out most of what I was saying.
"Sorry, what was that?" Danny asked.
I fixed a disapproving stare on Danny and said nothing, knowing full well that he'd spin up the grinder the moment I opened my mouth.
"I didn't hear what you said," he continued, leaning towards me a bit.
I shook my head, contorting my mouth as I tried to not smile.
"C'mon, what did you say?"
"Wheresmyclo--"
*WHIRRRRRR*
He grinned as I simply continued to shake my head until he released the grinder. I waited until his hands were off it. Rather than say anything I just gestured at myself, wearing only a towel, and gave him a questioning look.
"Yeah, you look good," he said, grinning like the mischievous, sexy, demon that he was, and slotting the espresso machine together.
"Gee thanks," I gushed, sarcastically.
He finished assembling my fancy coffee. He placed the cappuccino on a saucer, and reached into an earthen jar, producing a small plastic-wrapped biscotti that he laid next to the cup.
He slid the whole thing over to me.
