This is another chapter in Part 2 of a series that began with Life in the Elysium, which you can find here - https://www.literotica.com/series/se/494113320. I strongly suggest you read the first series before starting this one. For those who just skip to the sex scenes, there will be no issue if you pick up here, but if you want to understand and enjoy the plot more fully, please take some time to read the series, as it will make more sense.
Be aware, this series includes a variety of adult situations, including bisexuality, interracial sex, light incest, group sex and other taboo subjects that not everybody may be into. If any of these subjects bother you, there's an entire site here filled with things you may prefer more. In any event, thanks for reading!
------------------------------------------------
I slept like shit.
Imagine, if you will, living outside, sleeping on the ground, with a rock for a pillow and the hard earth for your bed. Then, imagine, someone finds you, takes you in, and you sleep for the first time on a mattress in a house with a roof and a fire. You do that for a month. Then, just as suddenly, your benefactor kicks your ass back out into the cold, and you're sleeping on the ground with your rock pillow again.
That would suck, wouldn't it?
That's what it's like living in a dorm with a twin sized bed, after you've been living in a five-star casino hotel with a custom-built bed the size of Rhode Island. I had gotten used to sleeping in my apartments in the Elysium, and I had definitely gotten used to sleeping next to Avery.
After last night's play, Ben and I had stumbled back to Nevils Hall -- it was only a fifteen-minute walk from the Four Seasons -- and fell into our beds. We were both exhausted, Ben was tipsy from the whiskey he wasn't used to, and we both were sexually satisfied. Claire decided to stay with Avery as they were going apartment hunting in the morning. That had given me a few erotic dreams when I actually managed to fall asleep.
The alarm woke me up bright and early at five. It was still dark, but today was the first day of classes, and we were back to our normal routines. My first class was at nine, Digital Marketing, and then I was free until one, when I had Entrepreneurship and Venture Capital, with Global Political Economy at three. From five to seven at night I had baseball practice, and I had workout and gym time from six in the morning until eight, which gave me about half an hour to grab something to eat and then get to class.
I didn't know Ben's schedule yet, but he usually got up at half past five, and we'd go over to the gym together for our workout. Me getting up a half hour earlier let me get in the shower first and get ready, so we'd have time to walk the ten minutes to the John Thompson Athletic Center, where the gym facilities for student athletes were found. There were also gym facilities for regular students at the Yates Field House, but we preferred to be with the other athletes.
I grabbed a quick shower and put on a pot of coffee. Ben and I were both coffeeholics and I needed at least one cup before we hit the gym to be able to function. Even the water pressure in the dorm sucked after the Elysium. I had been up maybe fifteen minutes and so far, everything seemed shittier than I was used to. I guess it's easier to be poor when you've never known how good the rich have it.
The smell of coffee pulled Ben out of bed, and I got a nice look at his naked ass as he crossed our bedroom and wandered into the bathroom. Ben never wore clothes in bed. I had always worn underwear and a t-shirt, but after living in the Elysium where underwear was apparently a forbidden item, I'd been sleeping nude as well. That was fine there, but the sheets I had here were a little scratchy. I'd probably need to get some upgrades. Maybe I could have Claire find me some. I made a mental note to ask her about them when I saw her today.
I checked my email on my tablet, read the news briefly and then Ben joined me for a cup of joe. We drank in silence for a bit, and as the clock ticked towards six, we both got up, grabbed our backpacks and left the dorm. We walked across campus and got to the Thompson Center right at six.
The place was already pretty full, with our teammates and the other athletes from other teams all getting their morning workouts in. I started my usual weight routine. Ben wandered off to do his cardio.
I was wrapping up my routine when I noticed a couple of the other baseball players were looking at me funny. I waved at them, and they just kept staring. Eventually, one of them, one of the pitchers, came over to talk.
"Uh, Jack?" He said to me, as I was putting the last weight I had been using back on the rack. "Have you talked to Coach Davenport yet?"
I looked at him funny. "Of course not," I said. "We just got back last night. I'll see him at practice this evening," I added. "Why?"
"Oh, no reason. Just thought you might want to stop by and talk to him," the pitcher told me. "You know, you had a pretty eventful Christmas break," he said, with a bit of a grin on his face.
"That's the understatement of the year, Todd," I laughed. "I'm just glad to be back here in one piece."
Todd looked at me oddly again, and then a light went off. "Oh, right! That thing with the Governor. You were there weren't you?"
It was my turn to look at him funny. "Uh, yeah. I almost got killed," I said. "What were you talking about?"
Todd laughed at me, and said "The porno, duh. Everybody's seen it. I can't believe I know a genuine porn star, dude. And those chicks were smoking!"
I grimaced. No matter what I did, the only thing people seemed to care about was that porno. I had shot a man, got a job, got a girlfriend, saved countless lives but the only thing Todd and the rest of the Hoyas even realized had happened was the porno. I started to curse Biggs under my breath for leaking it, but then I remembered what he'd done for Sol, and I held my mental tongue. There were worse things than being known for being a porn star, I rationalized.
"You should see them in person," I said, grinning at him, doing my best to put a good face forward. I knew that if I didn't, they'd mock me endlessly for it.
I continued working out for another hour or so, until close to eight, when I hopped in the showers. I had always loved communal showers. I guess they reminded me of the good old days back at Winthrop Academy, when we all showered together, playing grab ass with each other, and eventually, it was in one of these showers where I lost my oral virginity. They were fond memories, and I had to be careful while I was in there, lest a stray bit of nostalgia set my cock to stiffening. While I'm sure there were plenty of my fellow athletes who would be happy to help with that problem, my being openly bisexual had been a bit of a friction point with some of my teammates over the years, and I didn't need the hassle.
Today there were just a few other men in the showers, and not a single one was Black, my type. Oh well. I did notice that almost all of the men in the shower had peeked or stared openly at me while I showered. This was new. While we were never really shy about being in the showers together -- you learn pretty early on as an athlete that the human form is more than just a sexual object -- it was rare to see folks either go out of their way to pretend they weren't looking at you, or openly stare at you while you were bathing.
As an exhibitionist, I have to say I enjoyed the eyes on me, and I could only assume that this was another example of what Todd had said -- I guess everybody had seen the porno. And while I had only gone by the name "Jack" in the film, it wasn't exactly hard to figure out who I was, especially after all the news coverage of the Shootout. I guess I was just going to have to get used to my new role as a minor celebrity.
I got dressed, grabbed a quick breakfast sandwich at Leo's, the dining hall, and headed to my first class.
