“Look, you’re my team husband and my best friend on the team. I’ll always have your back, and if anyone were to ever hurt you, they’d have a big problem to deal with.”
Evan laughed again, but it sounded more like him, which made me feel better. “Yeah, what are you gonna do? You weigh like a hundred and seventy pounds.”
“Hey! I can bench two-twenty!” I made a move to tackle him to the ground, but he dodged and pushed me down first, before landing on top of me.
He stayed that way for a few seconds, looking down at me. I met his stare, and didn’t make a move to get up.
“Thanks for the conversation,” he said, breaking the silence and offering me his hand.
“I meant what I said.” I wanted to say so much more but I didn’t have a twenty year history with him like I did with Zach. I only felt I could say so much. “Text me if you need something. I’ll come running.”
“Will do, bro. Later.”
I glanced up at our tower. The windows were open, and I could’ve sworn I saw Zach a moment ago.
I knew he was likely in the tower, so I didn’t announce myself or anything entering our room. I did walk over to the bottom of the stairs just to say hello, but he was talking to someone. I couldn’t help but hear them.
“Why are you here, Jake?”
Jake? Who the fuck was Jake?
“I can’t tell you that.”
“What can you tell me?”
I thought about taking a shower. After all, this wasn’t any of my business. I didn’t even know who Jake was, though the voice sounded familiar. I wondered if someone was up there with him or if it was a phone call.
“Why haven’t you gone for it yet, Zach?”
“What do you mean?”
“With Teo.”
Any chance of me leaving had just disappeared. How did Jake know so much about me and Zach?
“He’s not gay, Jake.”
“Are you so sure? You saw him with Evan just now. They were rolling on top of each other.”
I knew Zach was watching! Wait. Is that what it looked like we were doing? I kind of wanted to yell Evan and I were just friends but I kept my mouth shut.
“I-I don’t know. He’s my best friend. Of course I love him, but I would never let my feelings jeopardize our friendship.”
Feelings?
I listened for another minute, but didn’t hear anything else. I couldn’t help the smile that formed as I crept over to my bed, tossed my sweaty clothes in the hamper, and headed to the bathroom for a shower.
Zach had feelings for me and that made me feel better than I thought it would.
I lost track of time in the shower.
The hot water just felt too good on my muscles. I squirted some body wash into my hand and made a beeline for my cock. I hadn’t cum in a few days and my balls were starting to remind me.
It didn’t take long for me to get completely worked up. Fully hard, I was pumping my hand furiously. I was so close to liquidating my inventory.
“Mateo!”
I let go immediately, bringing my hand to my side, frozen, thinking Zach had caught me.
