"You can leave your bag and shoes right here by the door. Take off all of your clothes and hand them over."

I sat in the university library that afternoon. I had case studies to do for the next day, but I caught myself staring at the same page for over an hour. I reached into my pocket for my phone and shielded the screen from nearby students as I texted him. "I almost forgot - what's your name?"
"Robbie," he replied.
It was the first time since we matched that I wondered what his real name was. Nevertheless, by this point we had already put everything in place. I scrolled up to read the texts we had exchanged over the past four days. The excitement grew until a backpack brushed up against me as a student walked past me and I was reminded of where I was. With me eyes back on my book, I tried to cast aside the images in my head for the few hours left until our meeting. I gave up a few minutes later and left for my apartment.
Back in my room, I took my clothes off and got into bed. I unlocked my phone, which opened straight to the app where Robbie and I had been talking. I looked at his profile picture. It didn't show much of his face, but he had a clean look which I liked. I went back to our chat and scrolled up to our second day of texting. We had just agreed to meet and were already talking about the things we would do, or rather, that he would do to me. It was going to be my first time doing anything like this and I was eager, and it showed in my texts. He seemed to be looking forward to it too but was also trying to be considerate of my lack of experience. I asked if we'd need a safe word and he replied, "a simple 'no' will suffice." That made me feel a lot better, but I had a feeling that no one was going to hear that word from me tonight. At this point I had made my way to our more recent texts, and I read one of his.
"One more thing. Starting now, you are not allowed to cum until we meet. I don't care if you are with anyone else before then. I forbid you from cumming until I say you can."
And with that gentle reminder my hand, which was now between my legs, pulled back and dropped by my side.

I stepped off the subway and made my way up the stairs. I then followed the map as it guided me through the five-block walk from the station to his building. Once I got there, I calmed the shaking in my hand and rang for apartment 5.
"Come on in," the voice on the speaker said as the door buzzed open. I walked up the two flights of stairs to his apartment. I saw apartment 6 across the hall from his place, and the stairs didn't go any further up. I could hear the voices from his place, and I noticed that the door was ajar. Still, I knocked. Robbie came to the door and let me in, and shut it behind me as soon as I was in.
He turned and walked down the hallway to my left, and into the kitchen. There was some lounge music coming from down the hall. I took the opportunity to survey the living room in front of me, where I counted four other people. There were two tall, butch-looking men sitting across the cozy living room from two beautiful women. They were all well-dressed, looking like they were ready for a night out on the town. The coffee table in the center had drinks on coasters and had five pairs of cards lying face down with a few more facing up in the middle. Poker, I presumed. The conversation that seemed to be flowing while I was outside the door had now lulled as the four of them laid their eyes on me. I wouldn't say they were sizing me up. The men had friendly eyes, and the two women looked at me, smiled, and then turned to speak to each other in whispers. Just then, Robbie walked up to me.
"You can leave your bag and shoes right here by the door. Take off all of your clothes and hand them over."
"Alright," I said, and did as I was told. My eyes darted from Robbie to the two men as I took off my clothing. I then fixed on the two women who were watching silently as I pulled my underwear down and stood back up to reveal my hard-on. I then handed all of my clothes to Robbie.
"You'll get these back when you're done tonight," he said reassuringly. It did not do much to settle the butterflies in my stomach, although this was one of the things we had agreed upon. In fact, this was one of the things that I had suggested he do to me.
I was empty-handed and nude in front of this group of strangers as Robbie went into a bedroom to store my clothes. I saw him locking the bedroom door on his way out for good measure. Then I turned back to face the group which had now become dead silent. I had nowhere to go. I had nothing to cover me up. I couldn't turn and walk out of the apartment, and there was no way I could access my clothes. Well he would've obliged if I'd asked, but I was not going to. I was exactly where I wanted to be, and I was feeling exactly what I hoped to be feeling, and that feeling was making my penis visibly throb.
"So, introductions." Robbie then proceeded to introduce one by one, Andre, John, Claire and Nicole. "This is Avinash," he said as he pointed to me.
"Avi is good," I added and smiled at the group as a bit of ease crept back into the room. Robbie sat down to rejoin the group and motioned for me to sit, still nude, on the armchair between John and Claire. The group resumed their round of poker. Once it was settled in Robbie's favor and everyone threw their cards in to be dealt again, Claire turned to Robbie.
"Why don't you deal a hand to Avi as well?" she asked.
"I don't think he came prepared to play poker today," Robbie replied almost too quickly, with a stern smile on his face. I smiled back at him and then turned to Claire.
"Happy to observe," I said to Claire. She smiled at me, almost pitying me. As she turned back towards the table to pick up her new hand of cards, I caught her gaze dart down towards my penis, which had by this point lost some of its vigor. But something about the way she looked at me provided some rejuvenation.
The hands continued to be dealt and played over the next twenty minutes with the poker-faced Nicole coming out on top most times, and Robbie looking more and more dejected over his poor luck. As he sipped the last of his beer, he looked around the coffee table and noticed empty glasses all around.
"Another round, guys?"
They all nodded, and then Robbie turned to me.
"Why don't you take these glasses into the kitchen and pour another round of beers for us?" he asked, without really asking.
I nodded and got up out of my chair to go around and pick up the glasses. I picked up the boys' glasses, and then turned to get the girls'. I suddenly became acutely aware of the fact that my butt was right in front of John's face and I paused for a second while picking up Claire's glass. Brushing it aside, I then proceeded to pick up Nicole's glass and as I did so, made eye contact with her. She looked at me with a smirk as I retrieved her glass and ran her eyes down to my erect penis. Averting my gaze from her face, I turned to head towards the kitchen and while I did, I heard Nicole whisper to Claire, "It'll do, I guess. What do you think, boys?"
I opened the refrigerator to look for the beers. The cold air from inside gave me a chill. Before I could reach for the beers, I felt a rough hand grab my ass and give it a squeeze.
"Mmm." I turned around to see Andre standing behind me in the kitchen. He smiled at me and proceeded to take a bowl of fruit out to the living room. I followed shortly with the beers and set them down on the coffee table. As I made my way back to my seat, Robbie stopped me.
"Uh-uh," he said. "You can come stand next to Nicole."
I walked slowly towards Nicole and stood by her. The smirk I saw earlier had returned to her face as she looked me over from head to toe, and then fixed on my throbbing penis. She then got up, took my hand, and led me over to John. Her eyes were now locked to his, and she leaned over and kissed him deeply. She let out a satisfied sigh as she pulled away from him. John, still seated, then pulled his shirt over his head as Nicole undid his pants. She slid them down and then pulled his briefs down to reveal his cock. It was hard, and bigger than mine and filled me with excitement and nervousness.
