When Ben came, Alex felt his head spinning, a buzz in his ears, an unbearable hotness on his face and his mouth opened, gasping for air. Another moan left his lips while he was feeling his cock pulsing in his pants under his hand. He was coming from looking at his friend coming.

Alex wanted to die then and there. He thought Ben was his friend, that he was sharing something intimate with him, but he was wrong. Ben was exactly like the other guys, and the things he said were deliberately cruel.


Alex couldn’t speak. He felt the tears stinging his eyes but he didn’t want to cry, not in front of Ben.
