And he was a bottom.

The guys I’ve douched for certainly appreciated it.

That was what he’d said. He’d all but admitted it to my face.

So yeah, my body liked the idea of that too.

I’d had to jerk off when he’d left my room last night. To the fresh memories of his body close to mine, to his touch, to the smell of him on my pillow.

To imagine the Chase Soria naked in my bed. Underneath me, gripping the sheets as I sank into him. I imagined the sounds he’d make, the look on his face as he came...

It was the quickest jerk-off session ever.

It also made seeing him later kinda awkward, even though he had no idea of the fantasies I’d played out. The fantasies that still echoed in my mind. And it certainly didn’t help that he kept touching me, kept his body as close to mine as he could without being indecent.

I wanted him to be indecent.

So yeah, if he wanted to keep lying all over me, keep me close with his arm around me, his hands on me, I wasn’t saying no.

I pretended to be annoyed, but honestly it was all going into the memory bank for later.

The eight of us—the four main couples—spent the afternoon in the courtyard, walking the halls, sitting in the dining hall, going to the beach. Well, Chase, Max, and Tucker played frisbee and the rest of us sat in the shade. And of course, Chase had his shirt off...

Did it bother me that I was the only guy not playing?

Absolutely fucking not.

They should be grateful I was even outside.

But the camera crews worked angles and the sound techs did their thing. The editors and production team were already talking about cuts and lead-ins...

It was really happening.

Official filming started tomorrow, so yes, it was really happening.

Holly was kinda bummed though, and honestly, I didn’t blame her at all. She was playing Max’s girlfriend, and Max’s real-life girlfriend, Jenna, was not too happy.

“She has to deal with it,” Jess tried. “If she’s going to date an actor, this is part of the process. If he’s going to play lead roles, he’s going to be partnered at some point. Don’t feel bad.”

Didi nodded. “I’ve spoken to Jenna, and she does understand... She’s trying to be supportive but she just says it kinda sucks.”

Holly sighed for about the tenth time. “Yeah, and I get where she’s coming from. At least we’re not as hands-on as you two,” she said, looking at me.

“That’s all Chase,” I said. “He’s like one of those magnetic monkeys we had as kids. You know with the long arms that hook on and don’t let go. It’s like that.”

They laughed. “Oh, I had a purple one of those,” Phoebe said. “I loved it.”

Jess nudged her knee to mine. “Lucky you’re both single, huh? You and Chase? No one getting mad that you’re all over each other.”

“You two are the most touchy-feely out of all of us,” Holly said. “Thank god.”

“Yep,” Jess added. “People love the idea of you guys already. You have a ship name already. Domeli or Domijah, I think.”

I resisted groaning. Because yeah, while dealing with shit like that was better than dealing with upset girlfriends or worse, bigotry. People had been accepting... from what I’d seen.

“I ignore all the online stuff,” I said, shrugging it off. “I don’t care what they say. I mean, I hope they’ll like the show when it begins streaming but I don’t play into any of that shipping crap. And why is his character’s name first anyway?”

“It’s a top/bottom thing, I think,” Phoebe answered. “Sorry.”
