WARNING - THIS STORY INCLUDES MALE ON MALE ACTION
Copenhagen was alive when I walked up the Metro stairs. The plaza that was buzzing with people and the morning air was crisp but comfortable--the harsh winter had yet to arrive.
With only a day to spend in the is brand new city for me, I decided to head straight to my hostel so I could drop my bag off and take in as much of the city as possible.
The hostel was near the Tivoli Gardens and looked staged for an Ikea commercial with its modern Scandinavian design. The cute receptionist noticed me standing and staring dumbly around the lobby. "Checking in," She asked with a British accent.
I'd guess she was in her early 20s. She was short and petite with dark features. Her dimples flashed as she smiled at me.
I walked over to the desk, "Yeah, Quinn Edwards."
She quickly typed my name into the computer. "We got you staying for one night, is that right?"
"Yep."
She handed me a key card and said "Alright, here's your key. This will get you into your room and into the building after 10pm. You're in room 3 and bed 4. Theres a bar around the corner behind you. I'm Jess. I'll be here all night, so just let me know if you have any questions."
I thanked her and headed to my room. It was empty but two of the six beds in the room looked slept in. presumably occupied by guests out exploring the city.
I put my things down, and before leaving the hostel, I poked my head in the bar. There was a guy and girl--also both in their early 20s, I'd guess--sitting at the bar drinking wine. They saw me and waved me over.
"Hey there, I'm Quinn," I said.
"I'm Anna, and this is Stefan." I couldn't quite figure out her accent.
Stefan nodded. He was lean, and seemed tall, though I wasn't sure just how tall given he was seated. He was built like a tennis player, long and wiry.
Anna was blond with piercing blue eyes. She was definitely curvier than Jess the receptionist and didn't hide it. She was wearing a tight-fitting white long-sleeve t-shirt and I could see the rough outline of her nipples through it. She was wearing shorts that hugged her waist and had quite a short inseam.
In fact, they were both in shorts, and after a quick glance, I noticed Stefans white shorts weren't much longer than Annas. They'd be awfully revealing if worn without underwear.
"Good to meet you guys. What are you up to?" I asked.
"Oh, we just had a late night last night, so were having some hair of the dog. Weve got dinner plans later so trying to kick off the rust before then. Where are you from? America?" Anna asked.
"I guess my accent gave me away. Yeah, I'm from Oregon. What about you guys?"
Stefan jumped in, "Were both from Germany. I'm from Munich and she's from Frankfurt."
"Very nice. Are you two traveling together? You a couple?"
Anna laughed. "No, we met at university. And we're just friends traveling together. I think you're more Stefan's type, I'm missing one key appendage for him to consider me."
I couldn't help but look down at Stefans shorts again. I'm pretty sure they both saw me. "Sorry," I stuttered.
They both laughed. "You don't have to apologize. He's asking to be ogled wearing such short shorts."
I could feel myself turning red.
"You Americans are so rigid about sex," Anna said. "You won't turn gay just by glancing at his shorts."
The truth was, I never felt so rigid about my sexuality. I had only ever been with women, but I can't say I wasn't curious. Though she was probably right--the reason I had never acted on my curiosity in all my 28 years is likely the cultural rigidity towards sexuality.
"Anna doesn't realize its rude of her to assume you're straight. Sorry about her." Stefan laughed and playfully shoved Annas shoulder.
"No, its ok. I mean I am, not that it matters."
"Let's get you a shot. You need to loosen up" Anna started to get up, but I cut her off.
"Actually, I was just going to head out and walk around. I wanted to explore the city some. I'm only here for a day."
"Fine. But then you have to take two drinks with us later. We'll be back from dinner around 8:30 tonight. You better meet us here for some drinks," said Anna.
"Deal. I can do that."
"You better not flake on us. We know where you're sleeping, after all." Stefan chuckled and shoved Anna's shoulder again.
"I promise. See you guys tonight."
I left them at the bar and was excited at the idea of seeing them tonight. I was a bit intimidated by Anna, but something about the two of them together got my adrenaline going.
I spent the afternoon trekking all over Copenhagen. I walked the Nyhavn canal, visited Freetown Christiania, and then went to a couple bars in NΓΈrrebro before finding an incredible kebab shop where I ate dinner.
While I was captivated by the beauty of the seaside city I couldn't shake thinking about Anna and Stefan. Anna's sly promiscuity had me unable to shake the thought that something might happen tonight, something indecent in the best possible way.
I got back from my excursion at about 8:30, but when I looked in the bar, Jess was the only one in there. She was sitting at the bar and had a white wine in front of her.
She flashed those dimples. "Hey Quinn."
"Hey Jess. Taking a little break?"
"Not much left to do today. We only have two other guests staying here tonight. They were probably in the bar when you checked in."
"Anna and Stefan?"
"Yeah. So, you met them. They're a bit wild, aren't they?"
I guess those two beds in my room that looked occupied belonged to the two of them. My member stiffened slightly at the thought of sharing a room with them. Who knows what would happen.
"They seemed like they might be. I only chatted to them for a bit. Are they back?"
"Not yet, unless they snuck in while I was pouring this glass of wine. Come join me for a drink. I don't want to drink alone."
"I was actually going to hop in the shower real quick."
"Oh come on. One drink, then you can shower. You're not going to be calling it a night early are you?"
"No I was actually going to meet Anna and Stefan for a drink when they got back."
"perfect. Have one with me now to keep me company and you can hop in the shower when they get back."
Jess may not have had the obvious physical gifts that Anna had--she wasn't going to be busting out of any shirts--but she was beautiful and had a very light and kind energy about her. Why say no to a drink with a pretty woman.
"Alright, I'm convinced. I'll have what you're having."
"Lovely."
We chatted for a bit. I learned she was from London and graduated from university last year. She was taking a year off to travel and had been living and working at the hostel for three months now. She worked five days a week in exchange a free private room in the hostel and fifty euro per day worked.
