The guy stood and tucked my cock back into my pants before he did the same for his. When he leaned forward to kiss me, I placed a hand on his chest.


“Not happening, buddy. Thanks, though. Maybe we’ll do this again sometime.” As soon as I said it, I knew that was a lie. But it was too late to take the words back.


He shrugged and walked off, and I remained against the wall for a few more minutes before leaving. Didn’t want to make it too obvious what we’d been doing, though there were enough condoms around me that I was sure I wasn’t the only one who’d had the same idea.


Tired now, I made my way back to my apartment and let myself in. I tossed my clothes into the laundry basked in the bathroom and took a hot shower. The whole evening had felt…tawdry, somehow. The incident with Nelson had been revealing but…sad. I didn’t know where I stood, but, right then, the thought of sex with anyone made me ill.
