When I got home, I followed Brandon's suggestion, and I Googled this Doctor Moore. It turned out he'd touched off quite the scandal, at least for the school. He'd been accused of all kinds of misconduct, and an administrator had spent years covering for him, so a bunch of people had lost their jobs over it.
My Google searches also brought up Jean-Jacques's photography website. It showcased a lot of his work, and it linked to the site for Brandon's basketball league. That sent me down a rabbit hole of its own, since I got to see more of the pictures they were selling for charity. The featured images were all carefully cropped to hide the guys' junk, or they had basketballs strategically placed in front of their crotches, so you had to pay to see the real goods. You could also buy their latest photo book, or calendar, or other kinds of merch. The site made a point of saying where the money went, and it listed a bunch of LGBT organizations.
I couldn't resist taking the bait, so I paid for a few of their pictures. The uncensored versions were just as sexy as I'd hoped, with Brandon in all his nude glory, along with a bunch of his buds.
"I don't know how you did this," I said to Brandon the next time I saw him.
"How do you mean?" he asked.
"I mean, getting naked for a class is one thing... but having it all on the Internet?"
"I'm not gonna lie," he said, "at first it was weird knowing anyone could see it. But when a cute guy recognizes me... it makes it all worth it."
"Mmm," I said. "How often does that happen?"
"I mean, I think word got around the school years ago. So a lot of the students have seen my stuff. But for what it's worth, one time Doug went out of his way to say how much he liked it."
"I bet you loved that."
"Dude, the thought of him downloading my stuff drives me crazy. And knowing he digs it... fuck, I've been jacking off to that ever since."
I licked my lips. I could only imagine what I'd do if Levi did something like that. I'd sure as hell be jacking off to it too.
"I just wish I'd done a better job in those pictures."
"Say what?"
"Back then, I didn't really know how to pose. At least not like now--"
"Your poses are awesome," I said. "What are you so self-conscious about?"
"Well," he said, "maybe you're right and I'm just being hard on myself. But you know you'd say the same thing if Levi saw your stuff."
"I mean...." I let my voice trail off, and I shrugged. "I guess I'm not gonna argue with that."
As much as I loved hooking up with Brandon, it was still a weird time for me. I almost felt like I was back in the closet, since my family, friends, and co-workers still saw me as an ordinary white-collar guy. I went out of my way to keep up that image: I kept talking to my friends, and I posted my social media as if nothing was going on.
I was in a different kind of closet to the students and instructors. They saw me like any other nude model, and Brandon kept reminding me to keep it that way. Even Jean-Jacques had no idea that Brandon and I were banging-- much less that I was crushing on Levi.
The frustrating part was that I had no one to talk to. Brandon was the only one who knew what was up, and as great as he was to talk to, he was obviously biased. That, and he was just as busy as I was, between his day job and his basketball league and everything else. So I bit my lip whenever I could, and I kept a lot of my thoughts to myself.
I did find himself getting more comfortable with nudity. The more I got naked at school, the more natural it felt to be naked at home-- or while I was working my day job, for that matter. Before long, I'd stopped getting dressed unless I needed to. I'd work on my computer, watch TV, cook, and whatever else, all with my bare body on full display. Some days I never left the house, so I never bothered to put on clothes at all.
Sometimes I'd even forget I was nude. One time I answered the door for the FedEx guy, and he got at least a glimpse of my thigh before I caught myself. Another time I forgot to close my blinds, so for all I know, my neighbors could've gotten an eyeful. That might've even included Levi-- not that he would've glimpsed anything he hadn't already seen.
Brandon and I tried to coordinate our schedules, to at least hook up before our gigs. But even that could be easier said than done. The classes were scheduled at all different dates and times, which didn't always work with our day jobs and whatnot.
The school also made us use a sign-up system for our gigs, which was a colossal pain in the ass. One time Brandon and I signed up for what we thought was the same class-- which would've been the first time we'd actually posed together-- but it turned out to be two unrelated classes at the same time.
Another time I signed up for what I thought was a solo session, when I was actually posing with a naked woman. The girl's name was Alice, and she was cool and all, but it was a surprise for both of us. It made for a pretty awkward session: it was just as non-sexual as everybody says.
All of this helped me understand Brandon's habits, including how he jacked off. As much as he loved sex, he knew that on most days, beating off was just easier. It didn't take long before I'd developed a routine of my own, between pounding my pud, cumming nice and hard, showering right before leaving the house, using the bathroom before I went onstage, and so on.
On one day in particular, I was a few minutes from starting my gig, so I was standing at the urinals taking a piss. I'd already had a long week at my day job, so I was trying to clear my head. Then the door swung open, and who walked in but Levi.
I felt my whole body tense up. After all, I'd been lusting after him so long, and now here I was with my dick out. From the corner of my eye, I could see Levi's unruly hair, his half-exposed tattoos, and his rumpled clothes-- all the things that made him so sexy.
I tried to act cool, so I just stared at the wall in front of me. Levi got in position at a urinal of his own, and he unzipped his pants.
Oh shit, I thought, now his dick is out too. But I didn't dare look down.
Levi turned toward me. My heart started racing: was he checking me out? Or had I made it awkward? Or was I reading too far into it?
I finished pissing, shook my cock, and put it back in my pants. Then I zipped up my fly and went to wash my hands.
I was soaping up when Levi walked up to the sink next to me. "What's up?" he said.
Oh wow, I thought. Levi was talking to me. "Hey man," I said as casually as I could.
"Are you... were you in Dr. Peiris's class?"
