Katie couldn't believe her cute little ears.
"So, you're breaking up with me?" she said. She knew it was the wrong thing to say, but she couldn't think of any other way to say it.
"No," Josh said. "We're not breaking up with you because you're not dating us. That's the problem."
Katie blinked her big brown eyes. "But we're neighbors," she said.
"I know, but Matt likes you and I really like you, too. We both think you're really sexy... really sexy. Even if you were sleeping with Matt, I'm not sure I could take it. And if you were with me, I know I'd never hear the end of it from him."
"Well, what do you want me to do?" Katie said.
Josh shrugged.
She had been living in the building for only six weeks after finally moving out of her aunt's garage in the suburbs. Now that she was in the big city, Katie was sure she'd find success. She just needed a few close friends. Matt and Josh were so far the only two she'd met and that was mostly out of proximity. They lived next door.
"So, what? I have to fuck both of you guys or you'll stop being my friend?" Katie said, frowning.
"It's not exactly like that," Josh said. "But Matt and I, we're both guys in our mid-twenties. We're not looking for friends. We're looking for fuck buddies."
"That's all you want? A fuck buddy?"
"That's all Matt wants. Me, I'm not sure. Depends..." Josh said, staring deeply into Katie's eyes. He shook his head, getting back on point. "You're taking all of our attention, but we're not getting the attention we want from you, and we're spread too thin to get it somewhere else."
"You want me to stop coming over if I'm not going to have sex with either or both of you? And I guess you don't want to go out for drinks with me anymore either?"
"I know it would be easier for me... for all of us, if we spent less time together," Josh said.
"But I really like you guys." Tears welled up in Katie's eyes for a split second before she regained her composure. "Okay, listen. Let's all go out tonight. I'll show you a girl can be a good friend. I'll help you get some action. And if you don't score, I'll make it up to you."

"Make it up to us how?" Matt said, sliding wax into his hair.
"I don't know," Josh said. "That's all she said."
"All right, but this is her last chance."
Twenty minutes later Katie knocked on the door. Her coat went down to her calves and her boots went up to her knees. "You guys ready?" she said.
The guys nodded and grumbled.
"You sure?"
Katie opened her coat, revealing a tiny black miniskirt and a scoop-neck shirt that swept off both of her shoulders and down far enough to show some nice cleavage. Two red bra straps stuck out of the shirt, hugging onto her otherwise bare shoulders.
As they sat around drinking drafts in Pluto's across the street, Matt and Josh watched as Katie approached the bar. Neither one of them really knew her very well, but they both wanted her so bad. That was all Matt needed to know. Josh, on the other hand, was more curious.
He played out the possible scenarios. He liked having her as a friend, but he didn't think they'd ever really be friends with so much sexual tension in the air. And the friendship would be over if they had sex. Or at least this version of it. But that was over now anyway, given what he'd said. Basically called her a cock tease.
The bar was full of slim pickins, which is to say it was mostly empty save for a few unappealing girls here and there. Matt had actually fucked a couple of them together in his only threesome, but now they wouldn't give him the time of day. The looked over at him, wondering about this hot chick he came in with, but that was it.

Two hours later, the three of them were back in the guys' apartment, standing around fidgeting. They were drinking bottles from a mostly full twelve-pack in the fridge.
"So, you said you were going to show us something..." Matt said.
"Yeah, I'm sorry you guys didn't hook up tonight, but it's not my fault. Not for my lack of trying," Katie said.
"Even if there were other girls there, it would have been hard to pay attention to them with you looking so hot the whole time. Flirting and flipping your hair, you kept them away more than brought them over," Josh said.
"I tried!" Katie said, mock defiant.
"You're like a vacuum," Matt said. "You suck up our desire and there's no energy -- or even if there was -- no reason to go anywhere else... except that you're not sucking..."
"I'm not sucking... you off? That's right, I'm not. But I will show you something, as promised."
"What kind of something?" Josh asked.
"Something nice. Something good, that will bring us all closer together."
"Maybe I'll show you something, too," Matt said.
"Hold on there, stud," Katie said. "Another round of drinks! I'm gonna pee."
Katie finished her beer, dropped the bottle in the trash, and walked out of the room. Matt got up and went into the kitchen. Josh heard the refrigerator door open and the sound of clinking glass bottles. Then he heard three pops.
A moment later, Matt returned with two bottles in one hand and one bottle in the other hand, a huge grin on his face.
Matt put the single bottle on the coffee table and Josh reached for it.
"No no," Matt said softly. "That's hers. Here you go." He handed Josh one of the other bottles.
"Why is that hers?" Josh asked incredulously.
"I doped it," Matt said. "We're gonna get a show whether she's going to give it to us or not."
"Dude, she could be planning to suck our dicks anyway," Josh said. "Show us she has no gag reflex."
"Other than the fact that she just told us she was specifically not going to suck our dicks, you mean?"
"Maybe she was just fucking with us," Josh said.
"Yes. She is fucking with us by not fucking us. I just want to see her tits, okay?"
"She's acting kind of weird tonight," Josh said. "She might be down for it anyway."
"That's really unlikely," Matt said.
