“Kinda… It’s not exactly a relationship, but it issomething.” Cory buried his face in his hands before he continued. “I call themsir.”
“Oh. Wow. Okay.” Stephanie sat up straight as she took in the info. “So it’s a … kinky thing?”
“Yeah… It’s a kinky thing.” Stephanie was hardly a prude, but Cory wasn’t sure how well she was going to react to the full details of what exactly he had been getting up to. “Part of why it’s so hard for me to talk about it to you is that I don’t even know what any of it really is. What it means. It all started so suddenly and so weirdly. I don’t even think they consider themselves gay or even bi…”
“Wait,them? They?” Stephanie clung to his choice of words. “Are we talking a pronoun kinda sitch?”
“No.”Well, here goes nothing.“There’s … two of them. Two guys. Two sirs.”
“Holy shit, Cory.” Stephanie’s eyes were wide. “How did you landtwoguys—two kinky, apparentlystraightguys—at our high school!?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t see it coming, didn’t expect them to figure that out about me…” Cory watched as the wheels seemed to be turning in Steph’s head.
“Oh fuck, Cory…” She turned to him in realization. “It’s Derek and Nic, isn’t it?”
“I, uh, no, it’s not—” Cory’s eyes went wide as soon as the names left her mouth.
“Cory.” He was caught.
“Please, Steph.” Cory’s voice was low and shaky. “Please don’t say anything to anyone. If someone found out, they cou—”
“Cory, I promise.” Stephanie drew him into another hug. “I won’t say a word to anybody. I swear.”
Cory held onto Stephanie until he felt his heart stop racing, letting go when he felt calm enough.
“So… Tell me how it started.”
“It was up at the cabin,” Cory explained. “Started like a normal weekend, playing video games and hanging out. Derek’s brother got him a case of beer as a gift, and we were drinking those.”
“Uh-oh.”
“We started playing a drinking game,” Cory pressed on. “But by the time I was on my third beer, it changed from a drinking game to something like strip poker. Not long afterthat, I was the first one naked. That’s when they … talked to me. They told me they knew I was gay. I let them borrow my laptop one night, and well, they found some of my porn. Alotof my porn. All the kinky shit.”
“That’s kinda fucked up,” Stephanie said defensively.
“Yeah, but they didn’t do it on purpose, I don’t think,” Cory tried to reassure her. “I wasn’t exactly worried about being stealthy on my own computer. It was my own fault for lending it to them.”
“I don’t think that’s accurate, but we can circle back.” She squeezed his arm. “What happened next?”
“I started to freak out,” Cory continued. “I wasn’t exactly expecting them to tellmeI was gay. They calmed me down. Told me they didn’t care. That they liked what it could mean.”
“What it could mean?” Stephanie was trying really hard to hide the concern in her voice, but so much of this soundedveryconcerning.
“They wanted to … help me out,” Cory hesitated. This sounded so much worse now that he was saying it out loud. “Train me, like the subs and doms in the porn I had been looking at.”
“Jesus, Cor.” Stephanie was no longer pretending to hide her shock.
“I didn’t really know what they were talking about at first. I mean, they’re both straight. I had never gotten even a hint thateither of them was into guys. I never even thought about either of them likethatbefore, not really,” Cory pressed on, things were about to get graphic. “But, the beer, being naked, the shock of them outing me and then asking to basically sleep with me… It didn’t end up being that difficult to say yes. And after that night, it just turned into a regular thing for us. It felt kinda … natural. For me, at least.”
“Cory, that all sounds so—”
“—Weird?”
“Rapey.”
“Oh god, I know.” Cory buried his face in his hands. “But… Fuck, Steph, this was like one of my biggest fantasies, ever, coming true right in front of me. And it’s not like they forced me, but … that also added to how hot the whole thing was.”
“Right, but that’s a fantasy, Cory,” Stephanie reasoned. “They got you drunk… They took advantage of you. It sounds like they knew what they were doing. Like theyplannedit.”
