Page 17 of A Reindeer Wish for Love
I didn’t want to have to look for another roommate, because I would have to move out because of my finances.I had none and he had plenty.He paid for all the extras.I had been disappointed to say the least because he would have been there for me to take whenever he’d gotten despondent and wanted someone to fuck him, and whenever I’d needed more than just my hand to comfort me at night.
I guess you can’t have everything.Needless to say, I survived that situation if that’s what you want to call it.I call it life getting the best of me.
However, the Genie is out of the bottle, and at my age I had been given a second chance at love, a second chance to earn a salary I’d prayed for and a man to match.I couldn’t forget I would be fucking the man who paid for this expensive suit, and he wanted to see me later and not wearing it.
What the fuck am I to do?Is it too late to bow out when I want this as much as Mason?I thought, glancing around looking for him, and not seeing him anywhere.Would this be the end of my career as a lawyer if anyone found out?

I’d made up my mind.There was no way I’d fuck up another good thing by fucking around with my boss.My friends, Marty and Tyler, had warned me about this.“It doesn’t end well,” they had said to me, because they knew my history and roommate experiences.
I’d found another roommate to help me pay the outrageous rent in an upscale apartment, but only upscale if you’re from New York and New Jersey.Any other state, it would be considered the hood.
In other words, I didn’t need to occasionally rent a cat to keep the mice at bay and that for me said it all, and I was all in for living in the city during and after college.Nevertheless, living in Manhattan came with advantages.
What started out as a wonderful arrangement turned into something far less.My roommate became intoxicated, and I had been far too long without sex that I let him hop into my bed to which he wouldn’t leave.
I’d enjoyed sleeping alone and reading at night to pass tests, but now he’d invaded my privacy and my chances of graduating early.I was laser focused on my studies, and he had been the party guy who never needed to study.And for some reason he managed to get the grades to graduate.What I didn’t know he took the easy path to everything and that included fucking whomever to get tutored, grades, and rent.
Because he thought we were sleeping together that relinquished his responsibility from paying rent and bills we’d agreed to before he moved in with me.And because the apartment was in my name, I had been responsible for everything when he snuggled up to me each night and wanted sex.
“You know, tomorrow is the first and...”
“I know, baby, but can we talk about that another time?”he’d said on the night I’d asked him to leave if he didn’t have the rent in a few days.Those days came around and then he disappeared on me and left me having potentially bad credit and not able to get or afford another apartment, and I had to get another loan from my mother and father.
As usual I promised to pay them back, but until now those were empty promises.
Now that minor indiscretion in the men’s room with Mason, wasn’t like before, I tried telling myself.I could chalk that up to two men attracted to each other and things got heated.It’s not like I’m waking up in his bed because that can’t happen.Mason won’t hold me to the promise of seeing him later,I surmised.After all, he is married, and he should be empty from what I experienced with him.
Therefore, to avoid having to apologize and look for another job immediately after allowing my better judgement to get the best of me, I decided to take a walk outside the building in my expensive suit, get in a cab, and get myself home to a borrowed cat who only likes me when I fed him, and two roommates who are better than me, because they allowed me to crash on their sofa when their relationships were new.
All I need to do was go to work that Monday morning, pretend I was drunk and didn’t know what I was doing when I had been in the restroom, and accepted Mason’s offer.I would try to avoid Mason for as long as I could until I found another job if it came to that.
I can tell you now, that would be fucking hard.As hard as my cock was now thinking about him.
