I awoke the next morning angry. I couldn't believe what I had done the night before, or rather what John had done to me. The deal was a handjob, quick and simple, but he made me go all the way and suck his cock. Then he promised to tell me when he was ready to cum so I could move away but instead he shot his load right into my mouth without a hint of warning. I wanted to walk right into the next room and punch him.
The anger soon became shame. He had forced very little on me. I had agreed to the handjob, and when he asked me to use my mouth I had willingly complied. He may have broken his promise and cum in my mouth, but he didn't make me swallow his cum or suck his shrinking cock dry afterwards and he definitely didn't make me go to my room later that evening and beat off thinking about the whole scene with his taste still on my lips.
I could still taste it.
Throwing myself out of bed, I pushed the memory out of my mind. It was behind me. John and I had made a pact never to discuss it. As far as I was concerned it never happened. I forced myself into my daily routine, showering, shaving, brushing my teeth and dressing. I left for work early, wanting to be out of the apartment before John woke up.
By the end of my shift I had all but forgotten about the night before. Back at the apartment I took my usual seat on the couch and turned on the television. The couch was exactly as we had left it last night and though the memory threatened to come back to me, to play out for me in real time behind my closed eyelids, I pushed it away, back into the deepest, denial-ruled lands of my brain.
It wasn't long after that John came home. As soon as I heard the door to the apartment I looked to it, turning around in my seat on the couch. He threw his coat on the floor just as usual and the hopped over the couch to land next to me. I could see it in his eyes and I visibly cringed before he even opened his mouth to speak. "Hey, I know we said we weren't going to talk about last night, but, man, do you wanna suck my dick again?" He asked.
Without thinking I drew my hand back and hit him in the shoulder as hard as I could. He barely reacted. "You promised!" I yelled.
"Hey," he yelled back, "I'll drop it if you want, but man I know how much you liked sucking my dick, dude." His voice dropped in volume dramatically for the last four words of his statement.
I hit him again, "I did not."
He grabbed my fist before I could pull my arm back. "Come on, Matt." His eyes met mine and I looked away, face burning. "We're friends right?"
We were friends, he was right. I had been mad at him for what happened yesterday, even though it was equally my own fault, but now I was mad at him for wanting to talk about it. I couldn't answer him. I couldn't even look at him. I just stared at my own arm, still tight in his grasp.
"I know how much you love sucking my cock, so why pretend?" He said softly.
"We're not going to talk about it. It didn't happen, remember?" Anger was evident in my voice.
"Look, if that's what you want fine, but it seems silly to me. You liked sucking my cock, I mean, you wouldn't have done it otherwise. I just thought maybe since you like it so much, you might want to do it again." His eyes tried to find mine, but I refused to look at him. I tried to wrench my arm away so I could hit him again but he held fast.
"I gave you a handjob as a favor between friends because you asked me to. You're the one who wanted me to put it and my mouth and all that gay shit. This is why I didn't want to do it in the first place. I knew you would hold it against me." Anger and shame whirled within me again. Why couldn't he just have kept his mouth shut? All I wanted was to forget about what had transpired between the two of us.
"I asked you to give me a handjob, dude, not suck my fucking cock off. You did that on your own."
Unable to wrench my right hand away I started hitting him with my left until he let go of me. I got up off the couch to leave but he grabbed onto the back of my pants and pulled me back onto the couch.
"I didn't mean it like that, dude. Just listen to me okay?" He spoke quickly.
"I'm not gay!" I yelled at him.
He laughed. "Fuck dude, I told you to do that shit, which means if you're gay I'm even gayer and I nail five different bitches a week, remember? That makes you like, super crazy not gay."
I couldn't help but laugh with him. His sentiment took a huge weight off my shoulders. "That's why I didn't want to talk about this. Let's just pretend it never happened like we agreed. Okay?"
"Just listen to me first," he begged. "What I'm trying to say is, it was nice getting off and not having to deal with some crazy chick before or after. It seemed, to me, at least, that you were having a good time helping me out. That's not your fault, I mean, man, ladies just love sucking this thing for some reason, so that's my bad too. So if I liked it, and you liked it, why not just keep doing it? It's not gay shit if we're not gay. And we're not gay, dude. I mean, this isn't going to be, like, an all the time thing," he continued, "I'm still gonna have girls coming in here and I'm gonna make sure you get some action too so you don't have to feel like you're being left out, you know?"
John was not a skilled debater, nor had ever demonstrated any kind of aptitude for articulation and though his argument was both circular and rambling, it impressed me. Why deny ourselves something we both liked just because it was awkward? As long as we were secure in ourselves, we shouldn't have to worry about what the things we liked to do could mean about us. "Okay," I said simply.
"Okay," he repeated, a smile creeping across his face. "So, you know, just every once in a while, you want to... do what we did?"
I nodded.
John let out a large breath and his small smile grew to beaming. "So, Is there, like, a respectful period I've gotta wait, or....?" His tone was light and playful.
"Whip it out," I said awkwardly, regretting the words as soon as I spoke them. Despite the understanding we had come to, the exchange still felt too weird.
He stripped off his pants, this time leaving his t-shirt on. "I won't try and tell you how to do it this time. So you play around and have fun with it and I'll just go along for the ride, okay? Or do you want me to tell you to do stuff?" He asked.
I thought about it for a moment. I didn't know how I felt about being told what to do, but at the same time I didn't want to feel like the whole experience was on me. "Just tell me if you like what I'm doing," I settled on.
He nodded and slid his erection out of his boxer-briefs then leaned back on the couch, shutting his eyes tightly. His cock was flaccid this time; three inches of meat setting on top of his balls instead of a firm seven inches, likely a result of our stumbling conversation. I took a hold of it and began stroking up and down the shaft, similar to how I had started during our first encounter, but instead of waiting for him to ask I slipped the head of his cock into my mouth immediately, earning an exhaled moan from John.
