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."
