Over the days that followed Ella came to my house often. We talked, we went for walks, we watched movies, but Ella seemed to retreat away from me. I knew she was planning something -- she had told me to make sure I was free the next weekend, but it was as if she wanted to keep me at an arms length until then. Was she changing her mind about us being together? Did she regret sleeping over? Or did she want to make me wait so that I wouldn't be able to resist what came next? Whatever it was, it was a long week. I would spend all day with Ella and then, as soon as she went home, I would unbutton my pants and let my hard, sore cock out and spend the rest of the night touching myself. Usually I didn't even need porn to make myself cum. I would think back to something Ella had done -- that day in science class, the field trip to the woods, or our recent night with Adrian, and I would work my hand up and down my cock, felling the shock of pleasure as my fingers ran over the head. And then I would spill my load all over myself.
On Saturday, the day that Ella had asked me to keep open, I spent most of the day on a long bike ride in the woods behind my house. It was all I could do to keep my attention on the trails in front of me -- images of Ella's body kept popping into my mind -- the gentle curve of her hips, the flat smooth beauty of her stomach, the way her perfect breasts looked through her shirt when she wanted them to show. Ella definitely knew how to use her body to get what she wanted. What was still hard to believe was that she wanted me.
When I got home I leaned my bike against the garage door and walked in through the front door. It was open, which was strange, but I wrote that off to having forgotten to lock it. Part of me wondered if Ella had somehow opened the door itself, but she would need her own key for that, and that didn't make sense. I was a little disappointed -- part of me thought that she would have been waiting for me in my room, but it had been empty. Upstairs I shed my dirt-stained clothes and jumped in the shower. It was only when I was finished and sat down at my desk that I saw the note.
It was just a small piece of paper, but I recognized the handwriting at once. "James," it said, "meet me at 8:00 at the bar on Hawthorn. I know you don't have an ID (loser) so come to the back and I'll let you in."
It was raining by the time I reached the back door of the bar. It didn't look like a door I was supposed to use, but when I looked closer I noticed that someone (it must have been Ella) had left a brick in front of the door. I slipped in. It was dark inside at first. I could hear the muted sound of music and talking from the bar coming through a back wall and the smell of smoke was heavy in the air. Ella was standing just inside the door. She was wearing a loose white linen dress and her hair was up. She looked peaceful -- almost angelic. She smiled when I walked in. That old smile. What was I supposed to do.
"You're a little late," she said, stepping forward.
"Nice to see you too," maybe tonight I could get the upper hand?
Ella rolled her eyes, but she was still smiling. "Come with me, I want you to meet some old friends of mine," she said, and she turned around and walked down a short hallway and into a nearby room. So much for the upper hand. I followed her, wondering what would come next.
Inside the room, sitting on stools or leaning against the walls were four men, and the way their eyes followed Ella as she walked to the center of the room, I had an idea of what was going to happen next. I tried to take in the scene around me: the room was sparse. There was a single, dim hanging lamp lighting everything from above and a mattress with a fitted sheet spread across it lying on the bare floor. The walls were concrete and unpainted, and there was a small table in the corner of the room with a few bottles of clear liquid and no cups. Ella stood for a beat in the middle of this circle of watching eyes and turned in place, taking in the room around her. Her smile was bigger now, still contained, but she was clearly excited.
"These are my friends, Hank, Todd, Bill, and Steve."
I swallowed.
She looked me in the eye and continued, "They want to play. I think you should play too...I know I want to..."
