“Oh, I don’t mind games - don’t think I’m offended. I’ve had guys act a lot worse. But I’m just fucking with them, wondering how far they’ll go to bed me.”

We burst out laughing after his admission. I really liked this guy. He was not what I pictured at all. I thought he’d be all handsy and in my face, grabbing at my junk, but Cam’s description rang true. He was a nice guy.

I wondered what made him go into porn, out loud.

“Money,” he explained. “A lot of guys are gay for pay. Straight in real life, but they’ll do anything for a paycheck. The guys here with me - we’re all gay or bi - and the viewers can tell. It’s more realistic. Not just, ‘Oh yeah, fuck yeah, oh yeah, do me’ kind of crap. We get into it, and it’s not always about the verbal aspect.”

“You’re like a porn professor, bro.”

Brody grinned. “I like that. Sounds like a great idea for a porn.”

After the pool, Ty changed in the bathroom. He came out wearing a green Henley and acid-washed jeans that were somehow tight but looked extremely comfortable.

“What?” he asked.

I had been staring, but then it clicked. “You’re wearing the cage right now, aren’t you?”

“What are you talking about?”

“That’s why you’re not changing in front of me.”

“What do you mean, a cage?”

“Drunk Ty already let it slip last year. Declan puts you in a cock cage sometimes. I don’t think I’d ever noticed before, but I think I can see it.”

“Stop staring at my junk, bro.” Ty turned away from me.

“Is it because of the wedding?”

After a slight pause, Ty admitted it. “Okay, alright, yes. I’m wearing a cage, and yes, it’s for the wedding. He’s taking it off that night. We’re kinky like that.”

“Hey.” I approached him slowly. “I’m not shaming you, or teasing you. I just couldn’t keep my mouth shut. I’m sorry if I made you feel bad.”

“All good.” He smiled. “To be honest, it’s nice to have someone that knows. Now I can whine all night long about how horny I am and you’ll understand exactly why.”

“Does it hurt?”

“We don’t have time for a chastity lesson. We’re going to be late!”

I glanced at my phone. He was right.

By the time we got to our seats, the ceremony was under way. I glanced at the program on my phone. They were already in the middle of the artistic program.

“Ty.” I could hear the whine in my voice, but I didn’t care. “We missed Beyoncé singing the national anthem.”

He leaned in, his breath hot on my ear. “If you weren’t so concerned with my chastity, maybe we would’ve made it.”

I turned quickly, pulling him close. “Don’t make me punch you down there.”

He shoved me, then asked, “What does this bracelet do anyway?”

“Jesus Christ, this is happening! This is happening!” Ezra screamed, grabbing onto Miles to hold himself up. “Should I go live? I should go live, right? I’m going live, boys!”
