The heat trailing down my body felt unreal. I was always amazed at how sex with Shawn always felt like the first time every time we did it. Uncovering more of his tan, freckled skin, seeing the searing desire dancing in his brown eyes, and feeling the silky smooth skin of his bubbly ass against my bare skin--sometimes the sights alone were enough to get me close to the edge.
This time was no different, except he was taking his time, plotting a trail of kisses from my neck to my nipples and over my abs until he hovered just above where I wanted those teasing lips most. My eyes were tightly closed as I tried to control the urge to grip those soft brown locks and finally get the release I was aching for. His hands smoothed over my thighs and conjoined next to his lips. My dick twitched at the thought of him taking it in his hands. I knew that the sweet sensation of his warm mouth sinking over the head would follow. Yet, he did none of that; my hips shimmied impatiently.
A moan escaped in my frustration, "Shawn..."
My hand slid down to caress his face, only to find nothing. My brows creased in confusion. Suddenly I became aware that I was dreaming. My eyes snapped open to the sun lightly filtering into the room. But this room looked nothing like my own and I sat up, panicked.
'Did I go home with someone?'
A quick look around and I realized that I was in Jared's room. I sighed in relief and sagged against the pillows. It had taken a while to break that habit. I would never hear the end of it from David after all the work he did to help me get back to some semblance of normal after Shawn. The thought brought my dream back to the forefront. I had been dreaming about one of the last times we'd been together before... Well, before everything went to shit. I hated that I still dreamt of what we had. I hated, even more, the effect that just a fantasy had on my body. My cock throbbed insistently in my sweats. Unthinkingly I reached down to squeeze it, the action only torturing me further. My eyes snapped open once more when I remembered that not only was I in Jared's room, I had insisted on sleeping right beside him last night. Thankfully he wasn't there to witness me having a wet dream. I reached for my phone lying next to his fractured one on the bedside table. The time read 9 in the morning, thankfully not that much later than I usually got up. I got out of bed and stretched--a deep one that drew a groan from my core. My body felt odd at having missed my morning run, but I promised myself I'd stick around in case Jared needed me.
"So much for that," I snorted.
I went down the hall to my room to change into jeans and a shirt before I came back to wait for Jared. I figured he must've had to use the bathroom, but was a little perturbed as to why he didn't wake me up to make the trip easier, but from what I'd seen so far he wasn't the type to ask for help if it wasn't offered. So, I sat at the desk nearest his bed and scrolled on my phone as I waited.
When I looked at the time again I noticed way more time had passed than a quick piss necessitated. I hesitated for a moment as I wondered if it was more than a quick trip before my thoughts flashed the thought of Jared having lost his footing somehow and lying in pain somewhere. There were still people on campus but not many opted to get up before noon with no obligations. I chewed on my bottom lip as I considered he might think I was babying him if I went looking for him. There was no harm in just going to the restroom to see if I passed him though. Besides, after all that morning excitement I needed to pee too.
Although I finally got some form of relief, I started to worry after not seeing him on the way to and from the bathroom. His phone mocked me as I paced the room. I had no idea how I was going to find him. Hell, I didn't even have his number if the damn thing wasn't broken. My phone buzzed in my pocket, jolting me from my reverie.
"Sorry I didn't answer your ft earlier I was asleep -_-" The text from David read, "Jared isn't here tho. Is he okay?"
That was one less place I had to look for him, at least. The trouble is that meant there were a whole lot more places I didn't know where to search now. "He left this morning idk where he is. Just trying to find him"
I watched David's text bubble pop up almost instantly, "Aww you do like him"
My thumbs were flying over the keyboard as I watched him ready his follow-up text, "Stfu I just wanna make sure he's ok"
"LMAO I'm kidding dude relax. Lmk if you need help looking. Or if you find him. Whatever means I get to sleep in more"
I chuckled despite myself, "Yeah ok. Lmk if he calls you tho"
David left a heart reaction on my text, and I knew that meant he'd immediately turned over to go back to sleep. I sat down and wracked my brain to think of where I had seen Jared around when I had been trying to avoid running into him. There were the obvious spots: the cafeteria, on the way to class, and of course the dorms.
