Where to start? That's easy: when I met Peter. That's when things took a dramatic turn, to say the least. I was a freshman, first semester in college at the big state liberal arts college. I had been on my own for a year since my parents had died in a car accident. Officially, I was the ward of my grandmother, but she was even more broken up over my parents' death than I was, so I wound up taking care of her more than she me. Whatever. As soon as I left for college, she checked herself into a nursing home.
Academically, I breezed through my senior year of high school. The combination of natural smarts and being the-kid-whose-parents-died got me through with minimal interference from administration. I was pretty messed up, not to downplay suddenly being orphaned. It took me six months of anti-depressants and a year of intense therapy to get to be a functioning freshman. But I made it through and was soon a stranger in a strange land.
It was weird being 18 and basically adrift in the world. There was no principal or guidance counselor to keep me in line, no Mom or Dad and any real kind of social network. I was plopped down in a 35,000 student university with, thanks to lots of life insurance, the ability to pay cash through college. I could do anything I wanted, be anything I wanted.
Let's talk about me for a minute, and I mean physically. I'm a shade over 5'11", lean and leggy. Blonde hair, blue eyes and fairly good looking. I was shy and quiet, and the grief thing really threw me for a loop, so I'd not had much romantic or social contact within the past year plus. I still kept in shape and looked out for my health, but I had neglected that part of my life. Now the urges were upon me and I was eighteen and horny as hell.
If anyone asked, I would say I was straight. Were I to be honest, I was bi. Were I to be completely honest, if I had to choose, I'd rather give up sex with women than men. In theory, since I had never had sex with either men or women. I knew I was a bottom, I wanted to suck cocks and take it in my ass. If there was anyplace I could make this happen, it should be at a big university.
I did a few preliminary searches while I was getting settled in. But, soon, the reality of being a college student set in and I was on the run. I had opted for an off-campus apartment so I could have my space, rather than the convenience of on-campus dorms, this meant more time commuting (even by bike). My neighbors were all sober grad students who were not too happy about having a freshman in their midst, I was warned to be quiet several times before I had even finished moving in. So much for using my off-campus apartment as a party pad. There was not going to be the social life with neighbors I had been counting on.
After a month or two of figuring my schedule and life out, I realized I did have some free time and tried to build a social life. I struck up a conversation with two guys in one of my classes and they invited me to a party one of their roommate's friend from home was having. They were going to be there at ten if I wanted to meet them there.
Why not?
This was my first real party and I decided it represented my best chance to find a sex partner. I did some body grooming, trimming my pubes and butt hair, just in case. I showered, shaved, did my long-ish hair, put on some aftershave and walked to the party.
I double checked the text: 310 E 3rd. They said they would be there at 1000, so I left my apartment then. There was a big party that was spilling out into the street at 301, but the text said 310, so I continued on. I saw a couple of cop cars pull up to 301 and that finalized my decision.
310 E 3rd was up a set of stairs from the street. It was dark, most of the house lights were off and black lights made up most of the lighting. It was a smaller crowd, maybe 30 people in the house and I did not know anyone. I dropped a couple bucks in the keg fund, poured a beer and tried to navigate a party as an introvert where I did not know anyone.
There was a sudden pressure in my head, like the onset of a headache. I hoped the cheap beer wasn't doing it because I had no intention of stopping. I concentrated, made the pressure go away and continued making rounds, hoping my friends had shown up.
Another pressure, this one much more sudden and strong. I froze mid-stride. This one felt like it was exploring me, and I felt all my secrets open to whomever was looking. A second later, bewildered and light headed, I resumed my step. What was going on?
"Hi," someone said to me. I turned and saw a gorgeous guy. He was about 6'3", straight short black hair and a charming smile. He was a little older than most of the students, I would peg him about 25.
"Hi," I said back, trying not to swoon or sound anything but super cool.
"So, do you know anyone here?" he asked.
I looked around and could start to see some dirty looks from the other partygoers.
"I'm supposed to meet some friends here, but I don't see them," I looked around again and realized I was the only one under 22 here.
"This may not be the right place for you," he said to me. "Private party. Listen, I'm on my way out and live kind of close by. You want to come by and have a beer? Maybe smoke a jay?"
I looked around again, more hostile looks and a couple of people were talking and pointing at me. I should definitely get out of here. I looked at him again. He was gorgeous, I wanted to be naked under him. At the worst, I could get high. At best, laid.
"Okay," I said and quickly downed the rest of my beer. "Let's go."
We were out the door just as a couple of guys were heading to throw us out. On the street, he put his hand on the small of my back to point me in the right direction. His touch was electric. I really hoped he wanted to have sex. That train of thought was interrupted by another pressure headache. This one only lasted a second, then felt like it slid into me.
"Are you okay?" he asked me. His hand on my back slid down to my waist to steady me.
"Yeah," I said, catching my breath. "A little headache. It'll pass. Shall we?"
We started up the street. Was I really doing this?
"I'm Peter," he said and offered his hand.
"Mark," I said and took his hand. I wanted that hand spanking my bare ass.
"I suppose you are wondering what I was doing at that party?"
"Now that you mention it..."
"I was making a delivery."
"Pizza?"
"Weed."
If I could get weed and sex from the same guy, my life would be immeasurably better. I really hoped this worked out.
"Cool," I managed to say. I realized that he might just want to sell me weed and have no desire to ravish my fit young body. That would be a kick to the balls. "Are you a student?" I asked, wanting to keep the conversation going.
"Ha," he snorted. "Was. Dropped out five years ago. Now I make way more doing construction and dealing weed to these college fucks, no offense, than I ever would have with a degree. And I don't have any student loans."
