Chapter 22
February droned on and Callum immersed himself in work, drink and sex to keep his mind from thinking too much. In a week Rob would be visiting, and though this made him happy, it made him nervous too. He’d seen Rob a couple of months earlier at a Christmas party, but this was different. Rob was coming to stay with him. Awkwardness was practically guaranteed. The night before Rob was due to arrive Callum was where he often was at night. In bed with Alex.
“Looking forward to seeing him?”
“Yeah, kinda, but shitting myself too.”
“That’ll turn him on.”
Callum slapped Alex’s knee. “You know what I mean.”
“There’s no need to be so nervous, I’m sure you’ll have fun.”
Callum sighed. “I hope so.”
Alex stroked Callum’s hair gently, trying to relax him.
“So I guess sex with Callum is off my menu for a few days?”
Callum shrugged. “I honestly don’t know what’s going to happen. But he’ll be staying with me, so I can’t exactly get rid of him to have sex. And having sex with other people whilst he’s here would be weird for us both, I mean he knows I have sex with a few people but I’m sure he doesn’t want to hear it.” Callum sighed. “Unless he really is so over me that it wouldn’t bother him.”
Alex rubbed Callum’s cheek lovingly. “Yeah, I reckon it’d probably be sensible to not fuck for a few days. Unless it’s with him of course.”
“God imagining that happening feels so weird. I’ve had sex with him so many times in the past but now…I doubt he wants to anyway. Maybe he’s got a boyfriend. Oh fuck what if he’s got a boyfriend? What if he’s in love? Why does it even matter good for him if he’s found someone else. I…”
“Shh calm down Cal. It’s gonna be ok, I’ll bet within minutes you two will be laughing and smiling.”
“You gotta come hang out with us.”
“I will I promise. I’m looking forward to it.”
Callum snuggled up to Alex and changed the subject.
“So who’ve you been screwing recently big boy?”
“Mainly you.”
“Yeah same.”
“I fucked Lewis this morning though. It was good but, I don’t know, I just don’t click with him like I do with you and the others. I feel like he’s not as interested in me. I know he’d already called you and Greg, it’s kinda like he was settling for me to be honest.”
“I thought you were really into Lewis.”
“The first time I saw him I couldn’t get him outta my head for days, I admit that, he’s hot. But we don’t have much in common. I couldn’t talk with him like this.”
Callum kissed Alex’s nipple.
“You need to sleep Cal. You wanna look your best for him!” Alex teased.
Callum laughed through his yawn. Alex slapped Callum’s butt hard.
“He don’t know what he’s missing.”
The next day Callum stood at the train station. He was shivering under his umbrella; he’d been waiting 15 minutes for Rob now. He sighed and drank more coffee, looking at his watch every 30 seconds. Trains were late all the time, he knew that, but he couldn’t get rid of that sinking feeling in his stomach. What if Rob wasn’t coming? He smiled as a train pulled into the station, but as he watched people getting out and leaving the station his smile disappeared. No sign of Rob. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder, and somebody was whispering in his ear.
“Unless you’re waiting for someone else, you’re on the wrong platform darlin’”
Callum’s heart leapt. He span around and pulled Rob into a tight hug, giggling as he did.
“God I’m thick! I’m glad you have some sense or we’d be screwed really wouldn’t we?”
Rob laughed and kissed his cheek. “It’s good to see you.”
Callum pulled away and stopped laughing.
“Yeah, it’s good to see you too. I’ve missed you.”
Rob patted him on the back. “Me too buddy.”
Rob put his umbrella up and they walked through the rain together. Callum took one of the handles on Rob’s bag to help him carry it.
“Jesus what have you got in there? Bodies or hair products?!”
Rob laughed. “A bit of both!”
“Come on, lets go sit down somewhere inside and catch up, it’s fucking freezing.”
Callum took Rob to a cheap and cheerful café nearby, well, as cheerful as it was possible to be with the wind howling outside. A group of kids who looked about 15 years old were sharing chips and laughing in the corner.
“I wish I was their age again sometimes.”
“Yeah you’re getting old,” Callum teased, “21 eh?”
Rob stuck his tongue out, “uh huh, but I look damn good!”
Callum smiled. “I know you’re just having a laugh but, seriously, it feels good to hear you say that. You DO look good.”
Rob blushed, “yeah well, I’m finding that a little easier to believe than I used to.”
There was an awkward silence as Callum moved to take Rob’s hand but then realised what he was doing, and quickly picked up his coffee instead. Fortunately the waitress came a few moments later. Callum ordered two slices of cheesecake, Rob’s favourite dessert.
“You’re spoiling me Callum.” Rob said, smiling.
“You think getting a 75p slice of cheesecake is being spoilt? In that case I’m going to spoil you rotten this week! How was your journey? If you’re tired we can stay in tonight I don’t mind, but you’re definitely coming clubbing with me sometime!”
“I’d love to, but yeah I am a bit wrecked. A nightcap then bed would probably suit me better. I’ll bet you’ve got a nice selection of drinks back at the flat, god knows you drink a lot!”
Callum slapped his hand. “Cheeky! I just know how to have fun is all.”
When the rain had died down, Callum paid the waitress and they walked back to his flat together. Callum was relieved that conversation came easily and felt natural. Perhaps too natural, for several times Callum felt himself reaching for Rob’s hand. He felt as though he were his boyfriend again, and had to keep reminding himself that he was not. When they got back to Callum’s flat Rob dumped his bag down next to Callum’s bed and sat down.
“Are your flatmates around?”
“No they’ve both gone home this week.”
“Cool…so…where do I sleep?”
“In my room. I can err, get a mattress for you to sleep on. Or you can have my bed and I’ll sleep on the…”
“No it’s ok don’t worry about it I’m cool with sleeping in your bed if you don’t mind. It’s not like we have anything to hide from each other.”
“I guess not." Callum said, trying not to grin. "Come on, let’s unpack your stuff.”
Callum helped Rob unpack and then they sat on the sofa talking. Soon Rob was sleepy and went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. Callum took his phone out of his pocket and texted Alex.
“He’s here. Fuck. He’s sleeping in my bed tonight. Fucking fuck. I don’t think he’s interested in me. Fuckedy fuck fuck fuck!! You ARE coming clubbing with us ok. Luv ya xx (fuck I can’t believe he’s here. You’re right though it feels just like old times…fuck I love him :-(”
Rob came out of the bathroom wearing only his boxers.
“Ok if I sleep in these?”
“Yeah go ahead. I’m gonna watch TV I’ll join you later.”
Rob kissed Callum’s forehead.
“Goodnight. Thanks for letting me stay, I’ve been looking forward to it.”
“Yeah me too. Goodnight Robert.”
Rob slid under Callum’s duvet. He couldn’t help smelling his pillow and smiling. He had missed Callum a lot. He wondered what side of the bed Callum slept on. It always used to be the right. Maybe now it was different now he was sleeping with other people. He knew they were going to have to talk about that at some point, sex. Rob knew that Callum had a few boyfriends and a busy sex life, but he’d never given much away to Callum. In fact, there wasn’t much to tell in comparison. Rob sighed and settled down to sleep in Callum’s warm bed.
When Callum woke up the next morning, he was holding Rob. He quickly rolled over and hoped Rob was still fast asleep. He rubbed his erection through his boxers as he watched Rob sleep. After a few minutes it became too much, and he went to the bathroom to finish himself off, afraid Rob would wake up and see Callum wanking over him. He showered shaved and dressed, wanting to look good. His phone rang.
“Hey it’s Alex.”
“Hey babe, wanna meet up for lunch?”
“Sure, I wanna get to know this Rob of yours.”
“Don’t embarrass me ok! He knows he have sex so that’s cool but don’t like…I dunno just don’t talk about us having sex.”
“If there’s no drink involved I can make that promise.”
Callum sighed, “whatever, anyway he’ll probably wake up soon so I’d better…”
“Did you fuck last night?” Alex interrupted.
“What? No! But I…I woke up holding him." Callum blushed. "And I think it’s fair to say Callum Jr. has missed him too!”
“But nothing happened?”
Callum sighed. "I dont think he's interested really.”
“That sucks. Who’s he been sleeping with?”
“Not sure. But I sure wanna know!”
“Ha ha, well anyway I’ll see you later.”
“Yeah, bye.”
When Callum walked into his room Rob was naked.
“Oh, shit, sorry I’ll…”
“No it’s ok. You’ve seen me naked before it’s no big deal.”
Callum’s eyes strayed. It was a big deal. Callum moved around his room pretending to look for things, trying to pretend he wasn’t watching as Rob dressed. Even seeing Rob lift his arms to expose his hairy armpits turned Callum on. He had to force himself to turn away so he wouldn’t need to jack off again.
“We’re meeting Alex for lunch if that’s ok with you?”
“Yeah sure. It’ll be good to see him, I’ve heard so much about him.”
Callum blushed. “Yeah.”
“Is he your boyfriend now? Or are you still sleeping with a few guys?”
“Yeah I’m still sleeping around I guess, but I’m sleeping with Alex most often by far. We’re really good friends. I don’t think of him as a boyfriend though. I love him but, only as a friend. Are you…seeing anyone?”
Rob shook his head. “I dated a guy in one of my classes for about a month but, we just didn’t click. I’ve had sex with a couple of guys this year. It’s been about a month now though.”
“Really? I’ll bet you could get sex if you wanted.”
“Yeah probably. I still go to clubs sometimes.”
“I’ll bet you spend all your time studying don’t you, little boffin!” Callum teased.
Rob smiled. “I guess you could say I do well.”
Callum walked over and patted him on the back.
“When you’re in a top job, I’ll come mooch off you.”
Rob laughed. “Don’t count on it. I wouldn’t know what to do with excess money. I’d probably develop a gambling addiction or something.”
“Or a penchant for rent boys!”
They laughed, but then there was an awkward silence. Callum wanted to ask who Rob had been fucking, he didn’t believe he wasn’t having regular sex. Instead he asked Rob if he wanted a cup of tea, and Rob gratefully accepted the offer.
“Great,” Callum muttered, “how British, everything can be solved with a cup of fucking tea.”
He dropped a mug onto the floor and it smashed, cuting his foot.
He shouted “fuck”, and Rob came out of the bedroom to see what was wrong. He rolled his eyes.
“Clumsy Callum! Plasters?”
“Bathroom.”
Rob told Callum to sit down. He wiped the blood from his foot and rubbed anti-septic cream over the small cut before covering it with a plaster. Callum couldn’t bear the way he stroked his foot. His hands were so soft. Even that smallest of touches, not at all sexual, made him shiver and long for Rob. He closed his eyes and tried to drift away but he couldn’t. His fantasy was right there in front of him.
“So Alex, what made you want to come to England?” Rob asked over lunch.
Alex shrugged. “I've just always wanted to live here for a while, and now was the perfect opporuntiy. I’ve always wanted to travel Europe too, and I’ve managed to go to France, Germany, Austria and Italy from here already. My Uni recommended this place for Nursing and it looked good to me so I took the risk and got on the plane. Fucking glad I did now. I love it here, and I’ve made some great friends, except Callum, wish I could get rid of him.”
Alex and Rob laughed. Callum rolled his eyes.
“So come on Rob dish, was Callum different when you met him?”
Alex grinned as he felt Callum kick him under the table.
Rob smiled. “Well he’d never had sex with a man.” Rob winked. “I guess that’s a pretty big difference hearing about what he gets up to now!”
“Yeah he’s a total slag…ow!”
Callum had kicked Alex again. Rob could tell Callum was annoyed so he decided not to comment on Alex’s accusation. He was about to talk when Alex jumped in first.
“Got a boyfriend Rob?”
He shook his head. “Not at the moment. I’ve had a few dates, a couple of flings, but nothing serious post-Callum.”
Callum smiled. It was like Rob classed their relationship as a chapter of his life, which meant he thought Callum had been an important part of his life. Still, Callum was curious as to how Rob looked back on their time together. He was even more curious as to how he saw their future. He forced himself to snap out of those thoughts. They couldn’t be together. He had to accept it.
After they had eaten and Alex had bruises on his ankle the three guys walked back to Callum’s flat.
“Vodka time!” Alex announced.
“Fuck, it’s a bit early isn’t it?”
“What can I say? Callum’s a bad influence on me!”
They sat on the sofa drinking, Rob in the middle. Alex looked Rob up and down. He could see why Callum wanted him so badly. Rob had put on weight since he broke up with Callum, and he had better defined muscles. Callum put his bottle down.
“I need to go see one of my lecturers. I’d better go do it now while I’m not pissed. Take care of him for me Alex.” Callum teased.
“Don’t worry….I will.”
Rob and Alex drank heavily as they talked about music, films, and everyday things. It didn’t take long for the conversation to stray to Callum, and their tongues were far looser than before.
“He is hot isn’t he?”
Rob nodded. “Oh yeah, I always thought so.”
“So you still fancy him?”
“He’s a hot guy, you and your friends are lucky.”
“So…would you fuck him?”
“I don’t know…If I met him as a stranger I’d definitely want him, but we have a history, you know.”
“Yeah. He wants you though.”
“Yeah I gathered, and that’s the main problem. I don’t wanna lead him on. He doesn’t deserve to be misled.”
“You’re pretty hot yourself.”
Rob blushed. “Thanks. You’ve got an amazing body.”
Alex grinned. “I’ve got a huge cock!”
Rob, who was slightly more sober than Alex, laughed loudly. “That’s nice.”
“You know, you’re pretty hot yourself.”
“Thanks.”
“Did I already say that?”
“Yeah. But feel free to say it again!”
When their lips met Rob froze. A million thoughts rushed through his mind. Then he shut his eyes and shut them out. He let Alex scoop him up in his strong arms and carry him to Callum’s bed. Alex left Rob’s lips for a second to speak.
“I’m gonna fuck you so hard you won’t walk tomorrow.”
Rob pulled him down sharply to kiss him again.
“Take your clothes off. I wanna see what’s going on…down under!”
They collapsed onto the bed laughing. As you know, heavy alcohol consumption can make just about anything funny. Unfortunately Callum was still fairly sober. When he shut the door to his flat and looked into his bedroom he didn’t know how to feel. Should he be angry? Alex knew how madly in love he was in Rob. Should he be fine with it? Neither of them were his boyfriend. He grabbed the bottle and downed the remaining liquor. He ran into the bedroom and jumped, landing on Alex.
“Owww fuck you Callum!”
“Mmm please.”
Callum kissed his way down Alex’s body slowly, sticking his tongue out and licking him slowly. His eyes were constantly fixed on Rob looking for signs of jealously. He saw none. Only desire. Rob was now naked, and was stroking his cock watching the others. Alex undressed Callum and himself in a flash, and pushed Callum’s head forcefully onto his cock. He fucked Callum’s face hard, dominating him. He wanted to impress Rob. Rob’s pent up desire from a string of sexless nights was unleashed as he launched an assault on Alex’s nipples with his tongue. Alex couldn’t wipe the grin off his face, Christmas had come very early this year. Callum kept shooting glances at Rob. His head was spinning. There was so much he wanted to do. He decided to carry on trying to make Rob jealous.
Callum sucked Alex’s cock hard from base to head, before quickly mounting him and sitting on his cock.
“Argh fuck. Oh fuck yes. Fuck me Alex.”
Deep down Callum wished it was Rob inside him, but that didn’t stop him moving quickly on Alex’s cock, moaning loud. Alex pushed Callum onto his back hard and fucked him harder, still trying to impress Rob. Rob knelt behind Alex. Callum wondered what was going on, but Alex’s moans soon told him. Rob plunged his tongue into Alex’s hole, and fingers soon followed.
“Yes! Oh god you’re good!”
Callum felt rage burning inside him. Rob was his. These thoughts he’d suppressed came to the fore as the alcohol took effect. But he was horny as hell too. He dug his nails into Alex’s shoulders, making him let out a half moan half scream.
“Harder.” Callum growled.
Alex held Callum’s legs as he plunged his thick cock into him, his balls hitting him hard. Alex felt Rob tease his hole with his cockhead. He moaned, but he also stopped thrusting into Callum.
“Rob wait…I’ve never done that before.”
Callum looked at Alex like he’d just turned blue.
“What? You’ve never been fucked before?”
Alex blushed.
“Well…” Callum slurred, “I knew you’d never fucked me, but I thought you were fucking other guys?”
Alex shook his head. He started to thrust into Callum again, but Callum rolled away, nearly falling off the bed.
“Nuh uh mister, someone needs to lose their butt cherry.”
Rob grinned madly. “Don’t worry Alex, I’ll be gentle with you.”
Rob turned Alex over and pushed his legs up. After licking his asshole a couple more times he pushed his cockhead into Alex’s tight hole, groaning loudly as he did. Alex barely had time to think about what was happening before he felt Rob’s balls touching his butt.
“Mmm fuck.”
“Feel weird?”
“Kinda. Feels good though. Don't stop”
Callum stroked his cock furiously as he watched Rob gently fuck Alex, whose mouth was wide open and his eyes screwed shut, low moans filling the room. Alex’s cock was rock hard as he received the pleasures of his first fuck from Rob. As Callum stroked he thought about how damn good being fucked by Rob felt. Then something happened. Rob leant down and kissed Alex. Something inside Callum changed. He pulled Rob sharply away from Alex by his hair and kissed him passionately before throwing him onto the bed. This turned Rob on, and he went back for another kiss, but Callum was done. Callum plunged into Alex’s ass making him cry out in pain after Rob’s smaller, far gentler strokes. He fucked Alex hard, making him writhe on the bed. His cock was still rock hard, feeling the sweet mixture of pleasure and pain. Suddenly he cried out. Callum had bitten into his shoulder, and he’d drawn blood. Rob knelt behind Callum and held him, which calmed him almost instantly. He turned his head and kissed Rob, before leaning down and kissing a panting Alex. Callum began to fuck Alex again, hard thrusts in and slow strokes out, just as he loved to be teased by Rob. Rob kissed the sweet spot on his neck, sending shivers down his spine and making his cock twitch inside Alex, who was sweating and cursing. Rob licked his fingers and slowly caressed Callum’s nipples, making him whimper as his strokes became faster inside Alex. Callum sighed heavily as Rob entered him. He had wanted to feel Rob inside him again for so long. Alex stroked his cock faster, feeling that he was about to cum from the amazing new sensations and the hot fuck happening right before his eyes. Rob fucked Callum hard, making Callum’s hips slam hard against Alex.
“Shit! Mmmmm oh Jesus Christ! I’m cumming!”
Alex sprayed more cum over himself and Callum than Callum had ever seen him manage before. Callum was still moving inside Alex and his ass was starting to feel really sore. He moved away, watching Rob and Callum finish their fuck. Callum couldn’t control the moaning and cries of “oh fuck!” flying from his mouth as Rob fucked him, driving him crazy with every stroke of that delicious cock.
“Uhhh yes Robert, fuck me.”
Callum came over the bedsheets and seconds later Rob came in his ass, and they lay down together.
Rob let the orgasm sensations wash over his body. He looked at the naked, sweaty Callum lying next to him and smiled. Callum pulled him close and held him tight. He kissed along his jaw line and up to his ear, whispering softly.
“I love you Robert. I never stopped loving you. I don't want anybody else.”
As Callum quickly drifted off to sleep Rob’s smile left him and he felt a sinking feeling in his stomach. One thought came through the muddle in his head loud and clear.
'That, was a huge mistake.'
