A bed made of kittens.
Well, not actual kittens. But, so soft, so luxurious, so sleep inducing, it was almost the same. A monstrous king size bed, all in white. White walls, white drapes, white furniture. At the same time, pitch black dark. Lights out, black-out shades closed.
Toby felt enveloped in it. He let out a long sigh accompanied by a satisfied groan.
What a day! What a day! What a day!
What was the best part? The sex had to go to the top, of course. Which sex? He chuckled to himself. Let me see...was it getting blown in the shower? Sucking the World's most beautiful cock? Getting his butt eaten out?
Toby covered his face with his hands and shook his head in disbelief. He stretched his arms overhead, then tucked them under the protective warmth of the covers, and did what came natural. He cupped one hand under his balls and wrapped his other hand around his dick.
How does an 18-year old kid from a rather poor island off the coast of Georgia end up in the palatial surroundings of a Montauk Island mansion? A weekend guest of the Turner's. The route he had taken to get here was bat shit crazy. But, here he was.
He'd let Day hold his hand as they walked along the beach. They were returning from an hour of power. Powerful sex, that is. As the Turner's glass, steel, and concrete ultra modern house loomed in front of them, he stopped and turned to him.
"Day, I wanna know what's going on. How did this happen?"
Eric Day Benjamin. 5'10," slender with some decent definition to his shoulders and chest. Short medium brown hair, thick eyebrows, light green eyes, a long narrow nose, square jaw. Sunglasses. Think, "Baby Driver."
Day chuckled, "Oh. You mean the note?"
Toby just stared at him.
"It's really all on CeeCee. She's had it in for you from the beginning."
CeeCee Turner, the girl Toby had met last spring on Tybee Island. Amazingly cute. Flowing brown hair, brilliantly green eyes, a field of freckles across the bridge of her pert nose. Cute figure. High small breasts. His age. Only two months apart.
"When she came back from Tybee, you were all she could talk about," Day continued. "She showed me your picture. I thought you were wicked cute, too. So I started following you on Insta."
"Me??" Toby felt himself blushing. When he recovered enough, "I don't get it. What about the note?"
"You are so clueless, Gallivan. It just makes you even cuter," Day chuckled.
Hey if you're not gay, my friend thinks youre cute. Here's her number: 917-444-xxxx. (And if you are gay, here's mine: 917-743-xxxx. Verbatim. Missing apostrophe and an unclosed parentheses included.
Toby had found the note in a just vacated rental a week ago. In a nutshell, that's how he ended up on Montauk. The first number was CeeCee's. He'd discovered the second number belonged to Day, just an hour ago.
Toby gave Day a confused look.
"We were on Tybee a week ago. I saw you."
"You did??"
"Ya." Day chuckled. "You checked us in. Gave me a chance to scope you out."
Toby frowned slightly, looking off in the distance. He couldn't recall.
"Did we talk or anything?"
"Nope. I kept giving you a look. I got nothin' back."
"How did you know I'd see the note?"
"I didn't. I wrote it on a whim. It was a crap shoot."
Toby looked up into Day's eyes. It was hard to see what he was thinking through his sunglasses.
"So. Are you?" Toby asked.
"Gay?"
Toby nodded slightly.
"Ya, I am." Day chuckled a bit nervously. Then, taking his sunnies off, he looked into Toby's eyes. "Are you?"
After giving Day a royal blow job and getting his own ass rimmed?
"I'm ah...confused, I guess," Toby said softly. He looked down, embarrassed.
"That's ok. You'll get it figured out." Day pulled Toby into him and kissed him on the forehead, holding his lips there for more than a beat.
As they turned and continued walking toward the Turner's house, Day looked up and waved to CeeCee. She was standing at the low wall surrounding their swimming pool deck, elbows up on the top railing. She gave a little jump and a big wave back, accompanied by a bright smile.
"By the way, my being Gay? It's on the DL. Ok?"
"Ten four."
Up on the pool deck as she leaned over the wall, CeeCee smiled big on the outside. She groaned on the inside. She'd seen almost everything. First, spotting them in the distance, holding hands, then facing each other for the longest time. Finally, Day's kiss on Toby's forehead, his hand behind Toby's head pulling him forward.
She knew. Well, she'd known. About Day. Since they were little, she always thought Day acted a little different. She'd caught him a couple of times staring at the male models in fashion catalogs. He wasn't just looking at the clothes, although that's what he claimed. She'd also caught him looking at a couple of naked boy photos on Snap. He was quick to swipe them away and she never challenged him.
It was ok. She didn't really care. But, Toby? WTF? She'd already staked her claim on him. Now, here was Day, all sweetness, trying to hook up with him. She grimaced. Then, she smirked to herself. Disappointed, but her mom would be even more disappointed. I swear to God, CeeCee thought. If she could get away with it, her mom would hop into bed with Toby in a New York minute.

"Gonna hit the road. See you guys later," Day said.
After a short chat, Day begged off spending the rest of the afternoon with Toby and CeeCee by the pool.
Toby couldn't really tell what the salon had done to CeeCee's hair but, whatever it was, she looked even better now. Her hair was still down around her shoulders but it was now layered differently. It fell across her forehead and eyes like the wind had blown it into her face. Sort of artfully tousled.
"Meet ya at the pool," CeeCee leaned in as she gave Toby a quick peck. Well, more than a peck. She sort of slurped his neck just under his jaw line by his ear. It gave him a shiver.
He'd just laid out fresh towels on two luxurious chaise lounges next to the pool. As he pulled his shirt off and sat down, he picked up a distinct whiff of his own sex. Toby shrugged. A quick dip would take care of that.
Diving into the perfectly heated pool, he swam to the other side and pulled himself out. Shaking his hair out and pinching the water out of his nose, he glanced into the house. CeeCee's mom, Vonnie, was in the kitchen talking to two men. As he pulled an umbrella over the chaise lounge where he intended to flop down, Vonnie opened one of the doors and stepped out to the pool deck.
Chatting and gesturing non-stop, she walked with the men, both Asian, around the corner of the pool to where Toby was standing.
"And this is Toby, our house guest for the weekend," Vonnie said. Toby smiled and squinted through the bright sunlight. "Toby, these are two of our caterers for tomorrow's party." Both men simultaneously bowed their heads.
"This is Ichiro," she said nodding at an older man. Short, square shaped, silver gray and black hair, deep bags under his narrow eyes. He wore a short sleeved white shirt and high waisted black pants. Toby smiled and nodded.
"And this is Kaito, I believe," Vonnie said looking at the second man.
Barely a man, Toby quickly assessed. More like a boy. A stunningly beautiful boy. A rather wide face, wide eyes to match, full lips, a thick head of black hair, well over his eyes, completely covering his ears. Thin, spindly arms and legs. He quickly bowed his head again. Toby gave a little wave.
"I'll leave you two to look around. Let me know if you have any questions." Vonnie smiled brightly. She returned to the house.
