“Hey, what’s going on?”
Jasper bit his lip and looked at me, as if trying to decide what to say.
“Whatever it is, you can talk to me about it,” I reassured.
He sucked on his teeth and gave a slight nod. “Okay. So the thing is… I’m…”
I sat up with concern when he hesitated. “Yes?”
“I’m so fucking horny.”
Oh. Not what I was expecting him to say. My cheeks immediately felt hot. “Uh, okay?”
He came over and sat on the bed beside me. Drawing in a deep breath, he began talking fast. “Sorry. I haven’t, well, you know, since the night before the wedding, because I’ve felt weird about jerking off in your house. I know the siblings are in bed, but I didn’t want to sit in the living room and go at it in casesomeone woke up, and I don’t want to use the guest room in case one of the others needs to stop by. I thought about going to my apartment, but that made it feel dirty, like it’s something to hide. But it’s not. It’s a natural thing. I could use the shower, but that felt weird, too. So, I have a proposal.”I swallowed hard at his candidness. The vision of him in the shower, dripping wet, while stroking himself, had my own dick reacting. I had no idea where he was going with this, but the last proposal had turned out pretty well, so I was willing to doalmostanything he asked. “Okay?”
“We’re friends, we care about each other. Right?”
That answer was easy. “Yes. Absolutely.”
“I need the release. I need it so fucking badly, and I have a feeling you do, too. We’re sharing a space, but that doesn’t mean we both need to suffer, so why not allow ourselves that? I say we put on some porn so it’s no pressure, and we can take care of our needs, and move on.”
Watch porn with him? The idea was as titillating as it was intimidating. Two decades had passed since I was last naked with someone, but he was right. With how out of control I’d been feeling, and how many times I’d had to ignore an erection since he moved in, I needed it, too. Admittedly, having something to focus on and not have to think about Jasper beside me seemed like a good idea. It was like having a conversation in the car that allowed you to go deeper without the pressure of having to look at the other person.
“Yes,” I said in a hushed tone.
“We don’t have to. I could just go in the bathroom…”
“No!” I interrupted, a little more forcefully than I intended. The idea of knowing what he was doing in the bathroom might just kill me. Now that the offer was out there, my cock ached and pleaded for attention. “We can do that.”
“Really? You’re sure?” Jasper’s hopeful expression made my dick throb.
I never wanted anything more than I did in that moment. “I’m sure.”
“Okay. I’ll be right back.” Jasper popped up and went to the bathroom. I sat there with a pronounced dick print in my sweat shorts and didn’t have a clue what to do with myself or how to sit. I propped my pillow up and leaned against the headboard, trying to look as casual as I could while waiting to watch porn with my husband.When did this become my life?
Jasper returned with a purple tube in his hand, and he grabbed his laptop on the way. He dropped the lube between us and my heart rate skyrocketed.Holy shit!Was this actually happening? Yes. Yes it was. Jasper slid his pants off, taking his underwear with it and sat on the bed completely naked. There was a naked man in my bed. Not just any man, but this sweet, beautiful person with a wild spirit. This was Jasper.MyJasper. It took every ounce of strength I had not to stare.
Setting the laptop between our legs so we could both see it easily, Jasper opened a porn site. “Do you have any preferences? What do you like to watch?”
The casual tone in his voice did nothing to calm the panic in my mind. Was this some sort of a test? If it was, I was going to fail, because I had no answer. None. With the graphics on the screen, I was seconds away from calling it off, except… fuck, I was hornier than ever. I turned off the lamp by my bed, needing some cover in this situation. Of course, that only made the laptop gleam brighter between us.
Jasper slid a glance to me. “Do you want me to pick?”
I swallowed hard, and croaked out, “Yes, please. Just nothing, uh, too intense.”
Through the laptop’s glow, I could see the sweet smile he gave me which felt at odds with the mind-blowing situation we werein. Soon a video started playing. An older man wearing glasses sat behind a desk with a name placard that said Professor Koch. A knock on the door sounded and in entered a twink student asking for help with his dissertation on the rise and fall of the Roman Empire.
I couldn’t help but see the age difference and similarities in the actors compared to Jasper and myself. Was it intentional? Or was I reading into it too much? Either way, I stopped focusing on the badly-written script and began to think of Jasper. I tried not to let my gaze slide over to him, but it was impossible when I heard the click of the lube cap open and caught him gliding his slickened hand over his very erect cock. The head of it was just right there, so close I could touch it.
The hunger I felt had me gripping my own dick through my shorts, in an effort to keep from reaching out to him. I couldn’t touch him, but I could pretend as I touched myself. Maybe that was wrong and maybe it was crossing the line, but I had no idea where the line even was anymore, all I felt was the need I’d been ignoring building up and igniting me.
I palmed myself through my shorts a few times, until it wasn’t enough and I needed to feel skin on skin contact, even if it was my own. Taking a deep breath, I pushed my waistband down and freed my cock. I was grateful for the dark room because I could feel my cheeks flame hotter than they ever had. Squeezing my hand around the base of my cock, I let out a moan. If I wasn’t careful this would be over in seconds.
The slick sound of Jasper’s hand moving, his breaths growing more rapid, combined with the erotic noises from the professor-student duo was overwhelming my senses. It was all too much, I didn’t know what to do with it. I didn’t want to come yet, I didn’t want this to be over too soon.
It got to where I didn’t even notice the video anymore. Jasper held my complete attention. So much so that I couldn’t evenfocus on my own release. The sight and sound of him was completely captivating. And now I felt like an asshole. This was supposed to be a platonic joint release thing, not me watching him like a creeper.
Jasper met my gaze, heat blazing in his eyes, or it could have been the reflection of the laptop, but either way it was intense. His curls were sticking to his forehead with sweat, and he looked like he was barely holding back. I could see his eyes lower, locking onto my cock which I stopped stroking. He licked his lips, making it buck at the sight.
