"I'm going to come!"
"If you can hold it just a bit more, I can come too," Kevin hissed.
And then we managed to come close to each other. We were lying on our backs side by side on Kevin's double bed in his apartment at U. Delaware. His place was preferable to my dorm because his bed was wider than mine and his apartment was more private than my dorm suite was. I was a freshman and he a senior. So, I had to be in the dorms; he had a studio apartment off campus.
This was the third time we'd met to jack off together. That's all we'd done so far, and even that was limited. We lay side by side, kissing and pulling on each other's cocks, but for the grand finale, we'd both be jacking ourselves.
It's not that I wasn't open to more—or hadn't had more before. I'd gotten into U. Delaware on a sports scholarship partly because of the relationship I'd had with my high school tennis coach in the previous year. It had been pretty intense there for a couple of months into the middle of the summer and then we both went our own ways—mine was a two-week fling with a construction worker. His was his wife reining him in more closely.
Kevin had gone to my high school—and had once been the same thing to my coach as I later was. When we first met at the tennis team practices at U.D. and he'd heard where I came from, he knew what I was interested in—and what I would do. We hit it off together and got real comfortable with each other.
The only problem was that we wanted pretty much the same thing from sex. We were both bottoms. So, here we were, making do. Maybe we'd progress to mutual blow jobs, but maybe not. It all seemed a bit incomplete.
After we'd come, I lay my head on his chest and we just settled in to cooling down and doing some fondling work with our hands.
"That released some tension," Kevin murmured. "I hope it did you good too, Nathan."
"Pretty good," I answered. And that's what it was—pretty good. Not great; just pretty good. Maybe if I hadn't had better before, I'd be more satisfied with it. But there was a lot of tension in trying to keep the grades up in my freshman year while we were in tennis competitions that spring and this at least gave me some release and relief, just as Kevin claimed it did him.
"Are you getting any otherwise?" Kevin asked. "I know it helps to blow off steam."
"Not really. Little time and opportunity," I answered. "And you?"
"Yeah, I got a guy in Wilmington who takes me all the way. He's in banking. Older guy, just past thirty. If it weren't for him, I'd be a wreck."
"It all helps, man," I said. I didn't want Kevin to think that I didn't appreciate these sessions.

"How do you feel about blind dates?" Kevin had called me on the cell phone as I was moving from my English class to chemistry.
"Haven't ever had one."
"An old friend of Jack's is in town. We had a date, but this old friend showed up. I really need to have this date. He said that if I could find a friend for his friend—"
"Jack?"
"Yeah, the banker from Wilmington I told you about."
"Sure, why not?" I said. Bankers made good money, I thought. Beat me, though, what I was supposed to do with this friend while Kevin's boyfriend was giving him the relief he sounded over the phone like he needed. But I guess I'd find out. Kevin had said they'd spring for some sort of activity and dinner, so it couldn't be a total loss.
His name was Ed, and he wasn't a banker. Whereas Kevin's guy, Jack, had gone the professional route—and looked it, all expensively dressed, groomed, and gymed, a blond god type—Ed hadn't gone to college. He was a construction worker. He was dressed clean enough, but really casual, and he was wearing construction boots. They weren't muddy or anything, but All-American he wasn't. He was at least part Latino. Dark and sultry, to be sure, and all muscle. But, whereas Jack was a glib talker, Ed was the glowering silent type. I had no idea how these two guys had gotten together other than the old adage of opposites attracting.
But they were paying, and it was a Saturday, with all my week's classes done and a bye week in our tennis schedule. I needed the break of something else to do.
What I was finding at the beginning of this blind date, though, was mainly frustration. I found that I wanted to be dating Kevin's guy, Jack, rather than the morose and uncommunicative Ed.
As a foursome we worked out OK as we attended a Blue Rocks minor league baseball game at a small stadium on the Christiana River front on the north edge of downtown Wilmington, because Kevin and Jack dominated and made the conversation interesting. Likewise dinner at a sports bar restaurant on 202 off I-95 west of the city went OK, as well. This, if you discounted that Kevin and Jack, sitting across from me, were all hands and stolen kisses, and Ed, sitting next to me, was all his steak and potatoes. He didn't react to me laying a hand on his thigh, so I withdrew it and didn't go there again.
At Club X on Orange Street afterward, Kevin, Jack, and I went to the dance floor and flirted with the pole dancers who had come down from Philly for Saturday night, while Ed protected our table by holding it down and leaving it only for the men's room between beers.
He did give me looks every once in a while that established domination and I lowered my eyes for him to show submission, but I had no idea where this was going to lead. I certainly knew that Kevin and Jack were headed for a fuck session. They had hands all over each other all evening and were cooing. Jack was a real hunk, and I envied Kevin. And I guess that was the main feeling I was gathering from this blind double date—envy and a bit of frustration. Ed was a hunk too, but I worried on whether he'd been roped into this double date and wanted to be somewhere else altogether. The only moments of animation I saw in him was when he was talking with Jack—who would bring out the interest in anyone. I had fleeting moments of wonder if Ed even was a top, or whether he was here for interest in Jack. That would be a real bummer, I thought.
For a moment or two I had versions of the three of them, Jack taking care of both Kevin and Ed, and me sitting off to the side, unnoticed and unfucked.
And then that thought was laid to rest, at least, when Ed, who was driving Jack's car, because Jack wanted to be in the backseat with Kevin, drove us into a park and off the main drive onto a gravel side drive that led to privacy among enveloping trees.
Ed and I sat there at the opposite ends of the front seat for several minutes of awkwardness as Jack and Kevin went directly into a lap fuck in the backseat. Kevin was obviously vocal about the work of Jack's cock in his passage, which, at last, seemed to get through to Ed and arouse him. He reached over and cupped the back of my neck in a hand and pulled me to him. I thought that we were going into a kiss, but the pull continued past his face, down into his lap, where I found his dick had been freed from his fly. He was hard, and I remember marveling at how he'd managed to get hard as much of an iceberg as he had been.
It was a very nice cock, I knew what to do, and I had no better prospect at the moment, although I was aching to be in the backseat and getting what Kevin was getting. So I opened my mouth over his cock and gave him what I thought was a perfectly good blow job.
If there was going to be more from Ed, that was cut off by Jack being finished with Kevin in the backseat and suggesting to Ed that he drive him and Kevin to Kevin's apartment and me to my dorm and then Ed could pick Jack up at Kevin's apartment.
