Circle of Friends Episode 4: 4th of July
"So did you enjoy NYC?" asked Jon as he helped Mark load his things into the truck of Jon's car.
"Yeah, I had a ball. They're not joking about it being the city that never sleeps and neither did I. I just want to get home and crash," replied Mark.
"What about you, what did you do while I was gone?" Mark asked with a wink.
Jon had been thinking all the while Mark was out of town how he was going to bring up David. He distinctly remembered Mark's parting words before he went on vacation, "you'll need your strength when I get back." Jon knew Mark believed their night together wouldn't be a one-time deal and had Jon not met David it probably wouldn't have been but he did meet David.
Jon was a staunch believer in monogamy especially after he broke up with his last and only boyfriend. They were together for over 5 years, dating back to Jon's senior year in high school. No one ever suspected they were a couple, everyone just assumed they were students and roommates. Granted he and Ted had their disagreements but all relationships do. Things just appeared to get progressively worse the last couple years when Ted adopted a new set of friends. Friends Jon knew were users and extremely promiscuous. He never thought that he'd find what he did that day.
Jon's sister had to fly to London on business so Jon shortened his vacation in Texas by a day. He managed to switch his flight for an earlier one but it meant flying standby. Things worked out and finally on his way home. Ted wasn't home the two times he'd tried to call earlier. He'd wanted Ted to pick him up at the airport but put off calling until he was sure he would be getting home a day earlier. He didn't worry too much about it though, he felt it would be a good surprise they'd share and Jon would just take a taxi home.
Finally at home, Jon left his bags in the hallway and headed straight for their bed to rest and recoup from the flight. In the bedroom, Jon noticed that the Camcorder on the tripod and was hooked up to the entertainment system with the VCR light flashing. Jon had brought the camcorder as a present for Ted so they could make their own private home videos. He thought it would spice up their love life. They'd never really used it though. Ted always said that he wasn't comfortable with making love on camera. So Jon was puzzled as to why it was sit up. Jon hit the rewind button on the VCR and began to straighten up the room and make up the bed as the tape rewound. Jon was the neat and tidy one of the two and wasn't surprised by the relative state the room was in. He was surprised however by the condoms wrappers he found in the trashcan.
He was even more surprised by the scene that began to unfold on the television. At first he thought it was a cheesy porno and was about to turn it off when his eye caught on something. The giant tiger picture on the wall, his tiger picture hanging out on the living room wall. Then it hit him that appeared to be his living room; no he was certain it was the living room. Furthermore the two guys on the couch were 2 of Ted's friends. The scene that played out was straight out some cheesy porno except the guy behind the camera, the voice giving the direction was that of his boyfriend, Ted.
Jon could feel his blood boiling and increased with intensity as he fast-forwarded through another scene involving another of Ted's friends and some guy he'd never seen before. Again Ted's voice could be heard providing the direction. Jon's blood was boiling, shooting a porno in his house on his things without his permission. Oh hell no, there was definitely going to be fireworks tonight when Ted got home. That was until the last scene. That scene sent Jon to the floor in tears, where he cried and cried and cried.
The scene started like the others, except it took place in their bedroom. All of the previous scenes participants were doing their do, preparing for an orgy to close the video out. Midway through the scene as everyone was partnering up, Ted's friend Ernest, the one Jon hated most of all, stopped blowing the guy he was sucking and looked at the camera and said "I think we should invite the cameraman to join us, what do you think guys? I know I'd love to feel those 8 inches in my ass or down my throat again." Then Ted could be scene entering the scene. Then he and Ernest began kissing as the other participants began to undress him. That was all Jon saw as his eyes watered over and the video finished with him on the floor crying.
Jon never did unpack. He returned the room to its previous condition and he called a friend of his to see if he could sleep on her couch for the next couple weeks. After talking to her he called and arranged for a u-haul and he left. He called Ted from a pay phone and told him that it wasn't necessary for Ted to pick him up the next day he would just catch a cab. He asked if anything interesting happened while he was away and Ted lied to his face.
The next day, after Ted left for work, Jon arrived with a couple of his friends and loaded all his things into the U-haul and left. He left a simple 4-word note, "Saw the video, Jon."
It took Jon a while but a move, his decision to go back to grad school, reconnecting with old friends and making new ones all brought him to this point in his life. The details of Jon's last relationship had already been discussed in great detail, as Jon and David had been virtually inseparable since they met. They did everything together playing ball, playing video games, going out to dinner, hanging out. Jon had even started spending nights over at David's apartment.
Jon wasn't sure where this relationship was going, but he owed it to himself to find out and that meant telling Mark that they're one night together would only be one night.
Mark took the news in stride. He admitted that he wouldn't be opposed to it happening again, but he would respect Jon's feelings and in no way would it affect their friendship.
"Hey it's even okay if he sleeps over every now and then," replied Mark.
Jon realized just how lucky he was to find a friend and a roommate as cool and understanding as Mark. True to his word, Mark went home and crashed. Jon left him to sleep and headed over to David's where he and David talked about Mark and their plans for the 4th. David's parents were coming to pick him up the next day to fly out to visit his sister, her husband, and their new baby. Jon really didn't have any plans it was still a good 4 days away. They ended up spending the rest of the day hanging around the apartment straightening the place up for David's parents. David cooked and they called to invite Mark over but either he was deep in sleep or he'd left as no one answered the phone.
That night David and Jon made love and fell asleep happier than they had both felt in a long while.
The next few days passed by as a blur as Jon experienced David withdrawals. The feelings that always accompany the first lengthy separation of a budding romance. The person is fine but it just doesn't feel like it at the time. Mark helped attempting to distract Jon with physical activity, basketball games, tennis and working out.
"He'll be back Saturday. If it's any consolation I'm sure he's missing you just as much as you're missing him" advised Mark as they were heading home from the b-ball court.
"So what are your plans for tomorrow?" asked Mark.
"Steven called and said that they're going to cook out and invited us over. Why what are your plans?"
"Didn't have any since Emily's out of town but I guess I do now" replied Mark. "What time?"
"With those guys, there's no telling. I'm going to go over about 3," replied Jon.
Steven had spent the last few days reliving his encounter with Grant in the sauna of the hotel when he was on his business trip. He mind was crowded with all the things he'd learned about homosexuality being a deviant behavior. He could still her his Baptist preacher's sermons telling of how hellfire and brimstone awaited all those fornicators, adulterers and ho-mo-sexuals. The fact that society as a whole, although warming up to the notion still weren't too keen on the idea of homosexuality weighed on his mind as well. What if the people at work found out? Would he be fired? What about his friends and family, how would they react?
Perhaps it was just a fling, nothing special after all he blow Steven, Steven didn't blow him. As Jon has said before, usually when talking about Jerod, any man that will suck a dick is gay. He didn't therefore he wasn't. Steven saw himself as bi-curious. He still liked women it's just that he was starting to realize he like sex with men as well, at least blowjobs from men.
He didn't have time to think about that now. Jon, Jerod and Mark were all coming over for the 4th. He'd offered to cookout since no one had any real plans. It's hard to make plans with a holiday in the middle of the week. Jon had said something about coming over about 3, so that gave Steven 30 minutes to straighten up. Weiss was out running errands with Jerod and they would probably be back soon as well.
It was about 3:15 when Jon strolled in with his usual greeting of "What's up my bitch?"
"Nothing much, Queen. How's life?"
"Can't complain, can't complain at all," was Jon reply.
"Well, Weiss and Jerod are out doing something and I was waiting on you to see if you wanted to go to the store with me to pick up some stuff" stated Steven.
"Sure, Mark said he was coming but it would be a while. He's going to call before he comes" replied Jon.
Steven and Jon headed out to the store to pick up some stuff. Jon couldn't put his finger on it but he could tell that something was up with Steven. Jon's mom always said that he had a 6th sense about people. He didn't ask however, he figured if Steven wanted to tell him he would. He would make a point to try and slide in the fact that he was a good listener and anything told to him in confidence was kept in confidence.
By the time they got back, Weiss, Jerod and Mark were all there. Weiss was out back cleaning off the grill. Jerod and Mark were on the couch talking about something. Someone had already set up a mini bar in the kitchen and it appeared that Mark and Jerod were the first two patrons. Steven and Jon said about cooking and preparing the food. Weiss took the opportunity to take Rascal for a walk while Mark and Jerod continued talking, occasionally venturing out to the grill for food updates and to taste test.
By the time Steven took the last steak off the grill, Jon, Jerod, Mark, and Weiss were engaged in a heated water gun fight. Weiss and Jerod had picked them up while they were out earlier. The quartet stopped to eat, each having been sprayed several times.
After dinner, Jerod suggest they set off some fireworks, but forgot he'd left them at his apartment. Luckily he lived in the same complex as Steven and Weiss so running up to his apartment to get them shouldn't take that long. Mark decided to go with him and as they were leaving, Jon and Weiss were tag-teaming Steven with their water guns. Steven managed to get a hold of the one Jerod had but not before he was thoroughly drenched.
Mark and Jerod got back about 10 minutes later and then the 5 of them were off to find a secluded open field to set off their 4th of July fireworks. Jerod through his connections was able to get a hold of the good but illegal stuff so setting them off around the apartment was out. Jerod and Mark rode together as Weiss, Steven, and Jon rode together. They set off a few, but decided to head to amphitheatre to watch the town's annual fireworks display. Afterwards, that led to a bar for a few drinks and pretty soon it was dark and time for everyone to head home and prepare for work the next day.
Jon was sitting up in his bed on the phone with David when Mark walked in and plopped down on his bed. It had been over an hour since Jon had seen him at Steven & Weiss' apartment. He said he was going to drop Jerod off at his apartment and pick up this computer component Jerod was going to sell to him and that was the last Jon had heard from him. The Chester cat grin on Mark's face let Jon know that there was a story to tell. After saying goodbye to David, Jon said, "okay, spill. I can see you're just dying to tell me."
"Let me start from the beginning^ÅYou know that Emily and I are bi right and we have an open relationship with individuals of the same sex, but closed with people of the opposite sex. Well a couple weeks before I left I suggested we try a 3-some with another girl. Emily said okay as long as we got to also do it with another guy. She'd always wondered what two guys did together. We got together with one of her girlfriends that next weekend. I have to say it was wild watching two girls go at each other, then watching them attack me. I would give you more of the details but I realize that's not your thing.
Since Emily had fulfilled her end of the bargain it was now my turn to fulfill mine. So after we finished, we got on Emily's computer and put an ad on yahoo for a gay or bi-curious male. We got a response from this one guy and we've been conversing back and forth since then trying to arrange something. I was online with him before I went to the cookout. He finally sent me a photo and guess who it was?"
"Jerod" replied Jon.
Mark was surprised. "How did you know? I thought I had myself a juicy secret."
"Let's just say I already suspected and the events of today, the way you guys were talking, then when you left, the fact that Jerod wanted to ride with you, someone he's only meet a couple of times. I'm really good at math, and 2+2 does = 4," answered Jon. "Besides I don't think he's the only one, but we'll discuss that later. So?"
"Anyway I didn't send him my picture this afternoon after I saw who it was. I lied and told him my picture was corrupted and my scanner was busted but I'd fine one on another disk and send later. So when I got here I just started talking as though I knew nothing, but I was dropping little hints that I hoped he would pick up on.
I didn't think he did but when we went back to his apartment to get the firecrackers, he walked in first and as soon as he turned to shut the door he laid one helluva kiss on me. Next thing I knew he had my shorts and underwear around my ankles and was chocking down my cock. Let me just tell you that the way he was working my dick, that mine wasn't his first. He then stood up and said 'You'd better rearrange yourself before we get back to Weiss'. We'll finish this later, just wanted to let you know I got the hints and know who you are.' With that he went into his bedroom and got the firecrackers."
"Well I'll be damned!" replied Jon. "We all thought his door swung both ways, but Steven and Weiss thought he would only be willing to let it be done to him but never the type to reciprocate. I told them they were crazy, Jerod would suck a dick and probably take it up the ass too."
"Don't get ahead of me," replied Mark with an evil grin.
"Oh shit, I can't wait to tell Steven this. I would tell Weiss but he prefers not to hear things like this, especially the fact your bestfriend is a gay or 'bi'" exclaimed Jon.
"No you can't. I promised him I wouldn't even tell you. Although I get the feeling that he wants you to know. But that's another story."
"Okay, I won't say a word, but it's going to be hard not to" replied Jon.
"So anyway, after we split with you guys we went back to his apartment. How about as we were pulling out of the parking lot, he unzipped my shorts and practically inhaled my cock. I can't believe you didn't see it. You boy is a freak.
So after we get to his building he zipped me up and hopped out of the car like nothing happened. Once we got inside though, he penned me against the door and it was a reply of that afternoon. He kissed me hard and demanding, it literally took my breath away. Then he made a trail of kisses down my neck while unbuttoning my shirt and pulling it loose from my shorts. By this time I was worked up too and I pulled his shirt over his head. Then we both started working on the other's shorts all the while he was busy licking and biting my nipples. Your boy has one hell of a talented tongue. I was moaning up a storm. If anyone had stopped by or if his neighbor was coming home they would've heard it all.
Once he had my shorts unbuttoned, he had my shorts and my underwear off in a flash. I was in the process of kicking off my sandals when I was treated to that mouth of his. Damn I swear it felt like warm velvet and the things he was doing with that tongue had my toes curled up and my dick singing. I know he worked my dick a good 20 minutes in that doorway. He had me on the verge several times only to some trick that made my orgasm subside and then he started his magic again.
Finally he stood up, kicked off his shorts & sandals, grabbed me by my dick and led me into his bedroom. He let go of my dick and flopped on his bed with his legs drawn up and his asshole winking at me. You know how I am about ass and I dove right in licking and eating that ass for all it was worth. He kept saying was 'Yeah, eat my ass. Eat that mancunt. Get it good and wet so that you can fuck it with that big dick of yours.'"
"Boy is a slut," remarked Jon. "I'm not complaining, but anyway back to my story," replied Mark. "He reached into his nightstand and pulled out a tube of wet and a couple of magnum condoms. He opened the condom with his mouth then handed to me. He then took the tube of lube and began to lube up his hole. It was so damn sexy watching him finger himself like that. First one, then two, he got up to 4 fingers in his hole. All the while he was looking at me say 'in a minute that will be that big cock of yours fucking my ass. You want to feel that hot ass around your dick. Sawing in and out, making me moan.'
So he takes his fingers out of his ass and grabs my dick and guides it to his hole. Then he hunches back and grabs my hips and spears himself with one thrust on my cock. Man it was wild. It was as though he was fucking me instead of the other way around. He kept telling me to 'give it to him hard' and that's what I did. Pretty soon we were sweating up a storm. And let me tell you, is ass is just as talented as his tongue. Needless to say I didn't last long and I was exploding into that condom.
He wants me to join him next week when some friend and his friend's boyfriend are suppose to be coming in for a visit from Seattle."
"Oh my god, that's Lars. We know him. He finally came out last year and moved to Seattle like 2 months ago. We always suspected him and Jerod but couldn't prove it," exclaimed Jon. "This is just too good to be true and I can't tell as soul, Damn!"
"I guess I won't be needing your services after all," remarked Mark as he head to his room.
"I guess not," replied Jon "but what are you going to tell Emily?"
