After that first night with me and Paul and Mark, I really felt weird.
It had been an intensely enjoyable fuck, and I'd cum twice, but the whole aspect of putting my dick into another man was disturbing. And more than that, I'd jerked him off.
Did that make me gay? It was homosexual sex.
But I still liked women. More than liked. Preferred.
I was confused, and really, since then the confusion has never gone completely away.
After a while I just decided that I wasn't really gay, or hetro, or bi. I was just "sexual". I'd put my pecker into just about anything that wouldn't hurt it.
Having come to that conclusion and not wanting to make Mark or Paul feel weird about it, I put the issue out of my mind, just deciding to go with the flow.
Mark and I became closer after that. Well, it's difficult not to get close to some one who pretty much would drop to his knees and gobble your knob whenever you asked, and sometimes when you didn't.
He never really lost that bit of creepiness and secretiveness that had originally turned me off, but I came to understand the reason for that. Turns out that was because his dad was a domineering asshole that pretty much beat the kid down anytime he tried to speak up for himself. Mark was even going to community college instead of university on scholarship because his old man didn't want him to get out from under his thumb.
I started taking him to the gym with me, and to my MMA sessions to help build up his confidence. He gained size and mass quickly. I later found out that he often skipped class to work out and was shooting 'roids. It also made him more aggressive.
A few months later the old man took a poke at him, Mark caught him in an arm lock and blew out his elbow.
When the old man got back from the hospital, he told Mark to get out of the house. "Make me," was Mark's reply. Mark's mom intervened and asked him to leave.
I knew he didn't have anywhere else to go. I invited him to move in with me.
Winter had come and the roofing business had dried up so I got a job working for an accounting firm in town. I wasn't an accountant, but it had been my dad's business and I knew it in and out. They were delighted to have me.
Initially, it was great. I wasn't a chartered accountant, but because of my dad, I knew a few things, so the firm paid me pretty well.
I'd get a blow job from Mark in the morning, come home and fuck him in the ass at night. Or, if I wanted, we'd go out and try to pick up girls. If I got lucky, he'd hit the couch when we got back and I'd take the girl to the bedroom.
For about two months, shit was ideal. Then it started to go downhill.
Paul lost his job at the rec center and had to fall back on his occupation as a weed salesman. Unfortunately Paul was more of a smoker than a seller and barely subsisted on what he could make selling pot. He moved in with us as kind of a fait accompli, by showing up on the doorstep one Friday night with a duffel bag containing everything that he hadn't pawned. We got high, passed out, and he never left.
