He really did want to tell her everything… He was just pretty sure she was wrong about not freaking out. Cory himself was still freaking out about it. He looked around the backyard for Derek or Nic, but the only familiar face he saw was Jackson’s, who only gave him another one of those weird looks he’d been throwing Cory’s way. Ignoring him, he headed toward the house to continue his search. He was just rounding the corner into the kitchen when he found Derek engrossed in a conversation with Tricia.
“…and I barely saw you tonight.”Uh-oh, Tricia does not sound happy. “Hell, this is the most we’ve talked all week.”
“I know. I’m sorry. I’ve just been so—”
“Busy, yeah. That’s what you’ve said every time you’ve canceled our plans the last couple of weeks.” Tricia crossed her arms. “I figured that at least tonight we’d be together, but you spent the entire party on your fucking phone. Or apparently talking to anybody who isn’t me.”
“Trish, I’m sorry. I swear—”
“Save it, Derek.Youwere the one who askedmeto get more serious,” Trica punctuated her words with a poke to Derek’s chest. “Thanks for wasting my time.” She walked out of the kitchen, giving Cory an awkward smile as she passed.
Derek stood in the kitchen leaning over the counter, back to Cory. He knew Trish was right. He had been a really shitty boyfriend lately. He thought he was balancing everything he had going on pretty well, but instead it seemed like a lot of his newinterestswere monopolizing his time. He hadn’t expected to besointo them though…
“Hey,” Cory finally announced his presence as he approached Derek. “You okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.” Derek turned and gave him an awkward smile. “I deserved that.”
Cory walked over to Derek and gave him an awkward side hug.
“C’mon, let’s go make sure everyone made it home or to bed safely.” Derek responded by ruffling Cory’s hair. “Seen Nic lately?”
“Not for about an hour,” Cory recounted when he and Nic had spent some time in the garage. “Maybe he went home with Amy?”
“Nah, she left a little while ago to help get one of her friends home safe. He’s around here somewhere.” Derek started walking back toward the living room. “Come on. We can get this place cleaned up a little while we look.”
Cory and Derek walked through the house, cleaning up as they went and making sure everyone was able to get home okay. Other than a few people passed out on couches, the place wasn’t too much of a disaster. Still no sign of Nic, though.
With the inside secure, the two boys walked into the backyard to check on any remaining stragglers. There were a few kids hanging around (and a puddle of vomit), but the backyard had also avoided resembling a warzone. Derek again made sure everyone had a way to get home, but Nic wasstillnowhere to be found.
“Hmm… We should check the garage,” Cory suggested, remembering how Nic pulled him in there earlier. “We were in there earlier.”
“Is that where he took you?” Derek smiled before he started walking to the garage side door. “Sounds like you had a busy night.”
“Something like that, sir.” Cory rolled his eyes behind Derek’s back as he entered the door code.
“Oh, hey,” a still tipsy Nic greeted them as they opened the door. “There you guys are.”
Standing next to him in the garage were Taylor and the hot, nameless football player Cory was staring at earlier. Cory flushed a little as he remembered being caught.
“Hey.” Derek chuckled at Nic’s demeanor. “What’s up, guys? Have fun tonight?”
“Yeah, it was a great party, man,” Taylor answered. “Me and Julian here were just telling Nic about some of the stuff we used to get up to with Jamie.” Taylor finished his sentence with a knowing look toward Cory, currently stuck between feeling mortified and intrigued. Julian, the extremely hot football playeralsoused to fool around with Jamie?
“This the boy you were mentioning earlier?” Julian looked Cory up and down, causing him to blush further.
“Yeah, that’s him,” Nic jumped in. “Sucks dick like a champ. Want a go?”
“Nic.” Derek found himself surprised at Nic’s forwardness; that was usually his thing. He looked to Cory. “Well, cat’s outta the bag now… What do you say, boy?”
Despite Julian’s attractiveness, Cory did find himself hesitating. This would be the fifth guy Cory had fucked around with, and the third guy that Derek and Nic had “loaned” him out to. As hot as it was, Cory was starting to feel worried about things going too far or the wrong person finding out. He was gonna need to talk to Derek and Nic about this…
…after he finished sucking Julian’s cock.
“Yeah, I’m in,” Cory said with feigned bravado.
“Great, been trying to find some pussy all night.” Julian immediately began to grope his crotch. “I hope you can suck dick half as good as Jamie did.”
“Oh, he can,” Taylor assured him. “Trust me.”
