Chapter 1 - It's Hard To Find Someone, Sometimes
Shawn was disgusted with his life. He was out with the guys last night, and again, he woke with another random guy from a cop shop a town over.
Brad walked over and asked if he would like to fuck. What was Shawn going to say, 'No'? They found a way to leave and ended up at Shawn's fucking one another.
In the wee hours of the morning, Brad was lying half on him and had his hand between Shawn's legs, right on his cock. Shawn tried to keep from getting hard, so he could roll away, but his body betrayed him, and Brad noticed.
"Shit, man, you want to fuck again before work? Because I'm game." Brad said as he stroked Shawn's cock, as a moan escaped.
Brad reached over to the nightstand for a condom and lube, putting it on Shawn. "Damn, are you in a hurry or what?" Shawn asked. He wasn't complaining, but he didn't want Brad thinking he wanted to fuck just to get him to leave.
"Actually, my wife will wonder where I was all night."
"Shit."
"You're not going to get all soft on me? Cause I'm married?"
Shawn was pissed, but it wasn't the first time he had come home with a married man. "No, get on your knees."
"I still get to fuck you once more, right?"
"Yeah, Brad, you do." Like Shawn would say no now. He doesn't know how Brad can keep from cumming and maintain his erection. But he doesn't care because he seems to know what he is doing, it feels great, and it causes Shawn to get hard again. "Actually, do you want to fuck me first?"
"If I fuck you, I won't want you to fuck me."
"That will be okay. I'll get off." Shawn was thinking, kill two birds with one fuck, then he will get Brad out of here quicker.
Brad quickly grabbed a condom, lubed up Shawn's ass, and didn't wait to shove his cock in. It didn't bother Shawn. He knew Brad didn't care too much about the guys he fucks because of how he treated him last night.
Shawn was glad he went into the bathroom when they first walked in last night and pre-lubed himself. Because he ended up biting down on his pillow, Brad barely stuck a few fingers in before he was off to fucking. But it wasn't the first and won't be the last time a guy was rough with him. Shawn just knows he will never treat anyone that way.
It didn't take Brad long to cum and Shawn was amazed. Brad fucked him for about two minutes, and he was cumming, not even long enough for Shawn to get a good rub. Brad wasn't hitting Shawn's prostate at all this time. The couple of times they fuck during the night, Brad was right on, but not this time.
Brad didn't even notice that Shawn didn't come, he walked straight to the bathroom, and Shawn heard the shower start. Shawn just shook his head. He didn't even want to cum anymore.
Shawn just wanted Brad out of his house. He grabbed Brad's clothes and sat them on the bed, then pulled out a clean uniform, t-shirt, socks, and underwear for himself and headed to the other bathroom to get ready. He didn't even want to wait for him, and when he came out, Brad was gone.
Work that day was long, but Shawn was getting used to the twelve and sometimes sixteen-hour days. With the right amount of coffee, he could make it through anything. This time it was three days and then one day off, but then four, and then he could sleep for two. He was looking forward to the two off in a row. Shawn had only one day off between two, three, or four days for a while now, so two days off in a row was a dream.
Even though Shawn worked many hours, he was getting more sexually frustrated than tired as the week went on. He stopped at Jeff's to see if he could get some well-needed tension release. He and Jeff started to get hot and heavy. Shawn was rubbing Jeff's cock and was pushing Jeff down to his crotch when Jeff answered his fucking phone. It was his mother. Shawn just walked out.
Feeling even more disgusted with himself, Shawn didn't drive home. He needed to talk. He needed his best friend. So Shawn drove across town and pulled into their driveway but didn't get out of the car. His music was loud enough for his wife to hear. He could see her standing in the kitchen. He just waited.
"Dean, I think he wants to talk to you." Dawn walked into the family room from the kitchen, where she had been talking to one of her coworkers.
"Huh, who, Tyler?" Dean looked at Dawn, confused.
"No, not Tyler. Shawn, he's outside. I can hear his music. He's in the driveway and not coming in for a reason."
Dean stood, opened the front door, and sure enough, Shawn sat in his car listening to his music. Dean walked over, opened the passenger door, sat down, and only then did Shawn turn down the music.
"Am I talking to my best friend or my sister?"
"Damn it, Shawn, it's me you're talking to. Yeah, eventually it will get back to your sister, you know that, but I try to keep it from her as long as possible." Dean grumbled.
"Yeah, I know. I'm just tired, Dean. I'm tired of being alone."
"Then do something about it." Dean looked at him with the 'what the hell was he supposed to do about it' look.
Shawn laughed, "Yeah, Dean, like I haven't tried. I have fuck buddies. You know I don't have a boyfriend. At least not since Mark."
"Stop having fuck buddies and look for long-term." Again, Dean thought that was the obvious answer.
"Nobody wants to have a relationship."
"Where are you looking?" Dean asked.
"Where do I have? I don't do the bar scene. That leaves the job."
"Which is police, fire, and rescue?" Dean responded.
"Yup, so temporary fucks. I'm ready for something more, and honestly, I don't know how to find it." Shawn dropped his head back on his headrest and blew out a breath. "It has been so long since Mark."
Dean hated what he was thinking, but it may take bringing his wife in on this. Shawn only knew Mark because of Dawn and Dean.
The breakup happened because Mark got a job out of state, not because they didn't love one another anymore. Shawn and Mark decided they didn't love one another enough to stay or move for each other. Dean was glad they broke up, and Shawn stayed. He didn't want Shawn leaving.
"Let me see what I can find for you. I know there are a few guys at my work," Dean stated, lacking the heart to tell him the guys at his work weren't that great.
"Yeah, but I wish I could say I have time. It frustrates the fuck out of me. I want a relationship, but I'm working so much overtime right now, I don't have time for one." Shawn put his arms over the dash and dropped his head on the steering wheel.
"So, a catch-22," Dean responded, thinking maybe it would get him out of having to help find someone.
"Yeah, that's what it is. Anyways, let me get home. I'm working doubles for the next four days."
Dean looked at him. "Where are you coming from?"
"Don't ask."
