“You wanna see if the porn stars are there, huh?”

I shrugged. “Well, everyone else has seen them. Why not me?”

Ty shook his head. “Fine. Let’s go rub our monogamous bodies in their faces.” He grabbed his trunks from his suitcase then headed into the bathroom. I wasn’t sure why he was being bashful all of a sudden. We had seen each other naked hundreds of times at this point.

He picked the skimpiest of the three speedos I had brought. It was an Andrew Christian one that pushed everything into a pouch in the front. It also became a little see-through once it was wet.

If there were going to be porn stars, I planned on teasing them a little.

Ty came out of the bathroom wearing knee-length board shorts.

“What are you wearing?”

“A swimsuit,” he said, defensively.

“I have never in all our years of friendship seen you so covered up for a swim.”

“Well, I’m almost a married man.”

“Wait, isn’t it a nudie pool? Why are we even wearing suits?”

“I’m comfortable around you and the guys, Luke, but Declan would not be pleased if I went nude in the pool with a bunch of porn stars.”

“Okay, okay, I get it. I don’t want to piss Declan off, and I am one of your best men after all. Can’t be a bad influence on the groom.”

“Plus, do you really want your junk all over the internet?” Ty asked.

“Surely they’d have to have a no phone policy.”

“Doesn’t mean people don’t break the rules, bro.”

He had a point. It looked like I was keeping my speedo on today.

The pool didn’t seem crowded. It was a Monday. I’d guess the weekends were wall-to-wall peen. A quick glance told me that everyone else was naked, so it felt weird to be clothed. It also told me that we were being admired.

I made eye contact with a guy just as I slipped into the water, Ty close behind me, and he smiled and immediately started coming over.

“Lucas, right?”

I stuttered an affirmative response, but he knew I was confused.

“I’ve already met your boyfriend, Cam,” he explained. “You’re pretty recognizable on your own,, and the sling is kind of a giveaway. Sorry about that. Hope it doesn’t hurt too much.”

“I’m Ty, by the way.” Ty reached over my shoulder, holding out his hand. Brody shook it.

“Well, you’re devastatingly handsome as well, so that must mean you’re taken and not looking for a fuck.”

“That’s right. I didn’t catch your name.”

“Brody,” I answered for him. “Right?”

“That’s right.”

“You have seen Colton and Zeph here with Cam, right? They’re definitely open to messing around. If you’re looking,” I added.

“Oh, I know. The guys have been talking about them. They sound like a great lay," Brody said. “I’ve heard they’re trying to bang all of us. Like it’s a game.”

Ty and I just stared.
