“So then who?” she asks, raising an eyebrow.

I look over at Lincoln, wondering if he’s comfortable with me sharing the story. He holds my gaze a moment before giving me a hesitant nod.

I raise my brows.Are you sure?

He nods again, so I shrug, looking back at Charlie. “It wasn’t a girl.”

Charlie frowns in confusion. “What? So like, an older woman?”

I laugh. “No, it was a guy.”

Her eyes widen, flaring with interest and desire. I’m not sure what reaction I was expecting, but it wasn’t that.

“What?!” she exclaims, practically bouncing. She clutches Lincoln’s thigh almost possessively while turning her attention to my face, her expression begging for more information. “Aren’t you both straight?”

Lincoln chuckles.

“Well, yeah, so first you should probably know I’m bi.”

Charlie’s eyes light up. “I had no idea. You have such a…”

“Slutty reputation?” I finish with a smirk.

Charlie flushes. “I’m sorry. That’s judgy of me.”

I take the hand twisting her braid and link my fingers through hers. Our hands feel good together. “It’s okay,” I say, smiling. “I know my rep, and it doesn’t bother me. I’ve had my share of both guys and girls, but guys just tend to keep their mouths shut about sex, especially if they aren’t out.”

“Makes sense,” Charlie says slowly, nodding her head. “But you’re straight, right, Link?”

He nods, smiling faintly. “Pretty straight, yes.”

“So how did you end up in a male-male sexcapade with this guy?” she asks, trying not to laugh.

“He was high and horny as fuck,” I say, smiling widely.

Lincoln rolls his eyes. “I wasnotthat high.”

“Not really helping your case, dude,” I laugh. “Anyway, we were at a party back home for the weekend. I have a fuck buddy who I call sometimes—we’ve been hooking up off and on since he came out in high school. He’s a cool guy, and he’s always had a huge crush on Lincoln.”

“What?” Lincoln sputters. “He has not!”

Charlie snorts with laughter.

“Yes, he has,” I say. “Why do you think he used to come to our house so often?”

“To fuck you, obviously,” he says, gritting his teeth.

“So the threesome,” Charlie cuts in, holding back a grin.

“Right, so, I meet my buddy at this party, and we start messing around in an empty bedroom. We’re pretty much undressed when Lincoln busts in, stoned out of his mind, and sits down on the bed next to us.”

I smile over at Lincoln, who’s squirming next to me uncomfortably. “So my friend and I stop our…activities, trying to decide what he wants, and Link looks over and suddenly notices we’re half naked and that he probably interrupted something.”

I snicker as I think back on that night. Charlie is leaning forward, hanging on my every word.

“He doesn’t say anything, so we just went back to what we were doing, but Lincoln’s watching us go at it. Finally, he looks at my friend, who was already giving him some serious come-fuck-me eyes, and Lincoln straight-up starts rambling on about how he’s horny as hell, and he just turned down a pathetic excuse for a blow job by some sorority chick with a limp tongue. So he says he’d like one from my buddy because he’s got to be an expert at sucking dick.”

I try to hold my laughter as I talk because Lincoln is staring daggers at me. “And so we’re just staring at him with our dicks out and our mouths open in shock, and he kind of shrugs and goes, ‘What? I’m stressed as fuck and need release. Now.’ And I kid you not, I have never seen a dude drop to his knees so fast in my life,” I say grinning widely.
