It is New Year's Eve and we've been avoiding phone calls like the plague. Even from clients. Adam and Nathan have been texting about a party at their place. We agree to go after Nathan leaves a troubling voicemail message threatening kidnapping and dragging us unwillingly to it if we keep avoiding their calls.
We make our way up the walkway of the rented beach house Nathan and Adam share in Manhattan Beach. Our fingers are wrapped around each other's and I feel Jonah squeeze my hand harder as we stop at the door. It is open and we can hear people inside. I look at him and smile awkwardly. We are about to break apart our comfort zone. We both know it.
The music is loud and there are people crammed in everywhere. Because we live in Southern California it is warm enough to have people on the back porch and even that is full of bodies. Some we know, most we don't. I am scanning the place for Adam or Nathan but I haven't seen them.
"Let's get something to drink," Jonah says in my ear and I nod in agreement. In the kitchen we find Adam and Ashley.
"We were really hoping for kidnapping," Adam greets us. He acknowledges our open show of togetherness glancing from our hands to our faces and smiling in approval.
"Maybe some other time," I return his smile.
"Grab a drink, make yourselves at home," Adam points toward the counter where bottles of booze in every shape, size and color are lined up.
"Who are all these people?" I hear Jonah ask as I step away.
"Glad you could make it," Ashley greets me when I reach the booze counter.
"Do you know all these people?" I ask.
"Nathan invited the whole neighborhood," Ashely's voice shows the contempt she has for her boyfriend's roommate. I wonder if she knows about Vegas.
"Of course he did," I say back but it has none of the bitterness she thinks it should. She nods at me and walks away.
I find Jonah waiting where I left him and hand him his drink. "Cheers," he says before taking a giant swig of it.
We head back outside to the cool ocean air and make small talk with people we know and don't know. We have decided to lay everything on the table so when we are asked questions like "what do you do?" we answer honestly. The reactions are a mix of fascination and confusion. Some people ask further questions, some just nod and say "oh."
The countdown to midnight has started. Jonah is standing behind me with his arms wrapped around my waist. I am resting my head against his shoulder and we are echoing the crowd's loud chants as the seconds tick down. We get to "1" and I turn and face Jonah. I press my lips against his and wrap my arms tight around his neck. He holds me close and returns my kiss. "Happy New Year," he whispers in my ear as we hold each other in a strong, warm embrace.
I know that people are watching us. I don't care. Jonah takes my hand and leads me back into the house. Eyes follow us as we navigate through the crowd. There is no sign of the party slowing down and I swear there are more people here now than when we first arrived. I am not sure where Jonah is leading me but I follow him through the sea of people. He stops at the door to Nathan's room. "You know he's probably in there with someone," I say when Jonah turns the knob. He peeks his head in and opens it further.
"Nope," he says pulling me in with him and closing the door. "Sit," he commands, pointing at the bed.
I do as I'm told and sit at the edge of Nathan's bed. Jonah steps forward and drops to his knees in front of me. I lean down and kiss him, holding his head in my hands. Jonah is unbuttoning my jeans and my dick is throbbing in anticipation. He pulls my zipper down slowly, making sure to brush against my cock as he does. I watch him as he removes my jeans and briefs in one motion, freeing my growing hard on. I close my eyes and feel the warmth of his wet mouth on my dick. He has the entire length of me in his mouth and throat when I hear the door open. I jump and reach for my pants, Jonah stands up in front of me, wiping his mouth with his hand.
"If you're going to sneak off to my room to have sex the least you can do is invite me," Nathan's voice echoes through the room. I stop trying to pretend this isn't what it looks like.
"Sorry," Jonah says with a sheepish grin.
I have made no effort to cover myself. Nathan is eying my hard dick and I swear I can see him salivating. I lay back against his bed and wrap my fingers around my shaft. Neither of them moves. "One of you better suck my dick," I demand.
Jonah steps back and nods at Nathan. "Go for it chief." He watches as Nathan gets to his knees in front of me and wraps his lips around my cock. We keep our eyes on each other as Nathan works me over. His fingers tease my balls and his tongue flicks against the tip of my dick. I close my eyes and announce I am about to cum. Nathan continues to lick and suck and I fill his mouth with my juices.
"Sorry if I ruined your moment," Nathan says licking the cum off his lips.
"You didn't," Jonah says before closing the gap between them and kissing him. I am surprised at how little it bothers me watching Jonah make out with him. I know that he just wants to taste me on Nathan's lips, it is clear by the way he is moving his mouth and tongue.
The three of us make our way back into the crowded party. We lose Nathan to a group of friends we don't know. "Should we get out of here?" Jonah suggests and I cannot contain my excitement at the idea of going home.
