We had known each other all our lives, and had experienced enough adventures together to fill a book. Twelve years of school, Little League and building forts, and now that we were out of high school, we were heading our separate ways as we were bound for different colleges.
Before Ken left for school, we made a point to spend a last few days together at a nearby resort town. Renting a cheap motel room, we went out the first night and drank a whole lot of beer while listening to local bands play. The fact that it was hot and muggy made it seem like the beer was coming directly out of our pores, but I still felt a little buzzed by the time we called it a night.
When we got back to the motel room, the heat situation wasn't helped by the fact that the window air conditioner was a piece a junk. A noisy piece of junk at that, as it made a lot of noise but only blew a faint cool breeze.
The room was the cheapest that we could find, and only had one king size bed in it. We decided to redecorate the dump by moving the bed over next to the air conditioner, so that we would get whatever benefit there was from it.
It was halfway decent outside, so we decided that we would sit out on the plastic lawn chairs in front of our room until either we got too tired to stay awake or the bugs ate us alive.
We spent a lot of the time reflecting on our lives - and our lives together - which seemed to be hopelessly intertwined. Just about anything we had ever done that was funny or memorable, we had done together.
Even the one great love affair that I had enjoyed was connected with Ken. I had dated his sister Denise for almost a year until we broke up last spring, and it still hurt from my end. I thought that she was the one, until she told me that I wasn't, at least I wasn't the one for her any longer.
"You two were so good together," Ken remarked as I opened a beer, and laughed as we watched it erupt all over me, a sure sign that the beer was getting as warm as the air that surrounded us.
"Tell me about it," I lamented, thinking back about the girl who had stolen my heart and taken my virginity. "It wasn't my choice, remember?"
"She's sorry now that she broke it off."
"Is that right?" I asked. "How would you know?"
"I have psychic powers," Ken informed me. "That, and I have a key to her diary."
"And I'm in it?"
"You're all over it," Kenny laughed. "I know just about everything you two did."
"Oh man," I said glumly. "This is embarrassing."
Although I always figured that Kenny had assumed that I was having sex with his sister, I had never said a word to him about it, and actually hearing it from him was a little disturbing.
"It shouldn't be," Kenny assured me. "You got rave reviews."
"I'll bet."
"I can't believe how many times Jamie can get it up," Kenny said in a falsetto tone. "His cock is always so hard, and I love the way he does me from behind."
"Please," I begged, wanting to crawl under the chair. "What did you do, memorize it?"
"Just about," Kenny admitted. "Jacked myself off more than once reading about you two - wishing I was joining in."
I laughed, but nervously this time, and I guess the look on my face gave Kenny some concern.
"Think that's freaky?" Kenny asked, shrugging his shoulders.
"Well, Denise is your sister," I reminded him.
"Yeah, and I got to watch her grow up all these years, and all those times that I got some innocent peeks at her undressing and stuff," Kenny offered. "I've seen enough of her to know that I'm really familiar with what you were nailing."
"I guess so," I agreed. "If I had a sister I would probably be as horny as you."
"Did you like that girl I was trying to hit on tonight?" Kenny recalled.
"The one with the big boobs?"
"Yeah! Now she was cute. Wouldn't that have been cool if we brought her back here and we both did her?"
"A threesome?" I said, thinking of the possibilities.
...
After we drank the last beers, we decided to call it a night. A shower was definitely in order, and so we flipped a coin to see who would go first.
"I'll save you some hot water," Ken promised as he celebrated his victory, leaving me outside to swat bugs until he got done.
While I waited, I walked around to the back of the building, counting the number of windows I passed carefully until I got to our bathroom window, which was open a bit. I was going to try and scare Kenny, but decided against screaming at the last minute.
He had his back to the window, and was drying off with the skimpy little towels, his slender and pale back glistening with moisture. Kenny looked a lot like his sister facially, and didn't look that much different from behind either. With his long brown hair and his build, it could have been easily mistaken for a girl from that angle.
"Save me some towels there, sailor," I whispered loudly, and Kenny almost had a heart attack when he heard my voice.
"Son of a bitch!" Kenny exclaimed, covering himself up with the towel as best he could.
"Always so modest," I said with a laugh before leaving the window. "How are we going to have a threesome if you're so shy?"
I went back around to the front of the building and into the room, getting undressed just as Kenny emerged from the steaming room. My nakedness always made Kenny uncomfortable, and I liked as he pretended not to look at me as I walked past him. It didn't bother me if he looked or not. It's not like I had a fantastic body, but I was in good shape.
The shower spray was weak but refreshing, and I stayed in there for a long time. As I came out of the bathroom, I saw that Kenny was on the bed and already asleep, judging by the looks of him. Perhaps it was a result of having had a few beers too many, but after I glanced over in his direction, I did what must have been the most comical double-take in history.
Kenny was on his back, arms and legs akimbo, and the sheet that had been over the lower part of his body was now down around his ankles. For all intents and purposes, my very best friend was naked and completely exposed.
That was strange in and of itself, because Ken was a very shy person. It didn't seem like he had any real reason to be, but that's the way he was. We had taken showers in gym together, and had taken leaks behind trees and that sort of thing, but he wasn't the type to waltz around naked in front of me. The times I had seen his dick, it didn't look all that different than my own.
Now Ken was passed out and naked on the bed - the bed that we would be sharing. The problem was - who was this guy on the bed? I stubbed my toe on the dresser and cried out, quickly looking to see if he had woken up, but except for a slight fluttering of the eyelids, he remained motionless.
My eyes went right back to the area between his legs, and more specifically on his cock, which hung lazily onto his hip bone. Long and slender, it looked like an beige snake, and when I passed the foot of the bed, that angle made it look even more shocking, as the veins and stretched skin made the base of it look like the roots and trunk of a tree. It wasn't as thick as mine, but as for the length, there was no comparison.
...
Keeping my towel tied around my waist, I went over and locked the door and turned off the light before getting into the bed, trying my best not to disturb Kenny. That was easier said than done, since he was splayed over much of the bed, but I managed to find a space on my side after a little maneuvering.
One thing we hadn't considered when moving the bed to the window was that now the lights from the street lit up the inside pretty brightly. The noisy air conditioner masked most of the traffic sounds, although I could hear the scraping of shoes going past the window. Since the light poured through the curtain so easily, I wondered whether people could see inside as well.
That was all the more reason for me to keep my towel around me, not that anybody would give me a second glance with Ken and his anaconda-like penis resting beside me. For a second I considered pulling up the sheet to cover him, but decided not to because it was so hot in the room.
I could feel the heat radiating off of Kenny's body as he lay scant inches away from me. Rolling over on my side, I was happy that he had just showered, as his armpit was right next to my face. As I breathed through my nose, I could see his armpit hair flutter when I exhaled, which was further proof of how close we were.
Funny that Kenny had so much hair under his arms, since the rest of him wasn't hairy at all. That was a source of constant embarrassment to him over the years; his chest being smooth and his legs sporting only a light dusting on the inside of his calves, and he always made references to me having a rather hirsute body and wished that he was more like me.
