My mouth watered, and my cock tingled and plumped. He was only a friend, but I was still a red-blooded young man who enjoyed the sight of naked men. “Damn it, dude, cover up.” He must have been so tired, he didn’t have the wherewithal to get under the covers. I walked toward his bed, and he mumbled, turning his head toward me.
As his eyes fluttered open, he smacked his lips. “Malik?” he croaked.
“Too tired to put on pajamas or get between the sheets?” I jumped on the bed beside him, enjoying the curve of his thick cock and the vein running up the shaft. I’d seen it before, plenty of times. “Are you trying to turn me on?”
He lifted his head, his gaze dipping downward. “Oh, fuck.” He covered his dick with his palm and lifted onto an elbow. His face flicked to my boner, attempting to break free of my shorts, and his cheeks flushed. “A little warning next time would be nice.” His tongue darted around his mouth.
“Didn’t know you’d be in here taunting me with that exceptional appendage of yours.” I freed a soft snort. Was I overthe top? Maybe. But this was Grey. We did shit like this to each other. It was all good.
“I see your dick is happy to see mine as well.” He sat up and ran his fingers through his mussed hair. “I smell bacon.” He sighed and dropped the hand covering his junk behind him to lean on, his boner still raging between his thighs. “I have to piss and…” He tagged my shoulder. “Quit looking at my morning wood. Fuck.” He choked out a laugh.
“Can’t help it. I like dudes, remember?” My balls ached. I had to leave now before blue balls set in. I hopped off his bed and shoved my dick down my leg. It popped back up, tenting my shorts. “Get dressed and meet us in the kitchen. Tex is making a hearty breakfast for us.” I strolled out of his room, willing my dick to stand down. Jesus, the thing had a mind of its own.
As I paced to the kitchen, Tex set plates of food on the table. His gaze swung to me. “Malik, did you get hard waking up your friend?”
“I did. He was naked.” With a shrug, I lifted a palm. “I can’t help it.”
“How the hell will you share a locker room with him?” He arched a brow and then peered at me. “You like him.”
“Of course I like him. He’s my best friend of all time.” I dragged a chair from the table and dropped into it. “It’s not like that, Tex. Get your mind out of the gutter.”
Tex pursed his lips as he sank into a chair. “You two have an interesting dynamic. I’ll give you that.” He piled pancakes onto his plate.
I added bacon, eggs and pancakes to my plate and poured syrup on the pancakes. “What’s on the agenda for today?”
“I’m heading to the gym after breakfast. Do you want to join me?” Tex scrolled on his phone while biting into a slice of bacon.
“Maybe. Let me see if Grey’s up for it.” After cutting into my pancakes, I stuffed a bite into my mouth. There was almost aweek before we had to report at the facility for training. I should gain a few more pounds before then.
Grey ambled from the bedroom hallway, a pair of athletic shorts hanging low on his hips and his hair wetted down. “Who cooked? Smells delicious.”
“Thanks, I did.” Tex ate some eggs. “Coffee is in the pot.”
“Okay.” After making a coffee, Grey strolled to the table and took the chair across from mine. “Did I hear you say something about the gym?” He piled food onto his plate.
“Yeah, Tex is going after breakfast. You game?” I poured orange juice into my glass and sipped it. We could sweat off this hangover.
“Yeah, I’ll go.” Grey scooped eggs into his mouth, chewed and then said, “What are we working on today?”
“Chest and triceps.” Tex glanced toward me. “At least, that’s what I’ll be working on.”
“Sounds good to me.” Buzzing sounded and Grey fished his phone out of his short’s pocket. As he glanced at the screen, his brows lowered. “Shit.”
“Who is it?” I bit into a slice of bacon. Where had I left my phone? In my room?
“It’s Carrie. She says there’s a party on Friday night and she wants us to go with her and Riley.” With a scoff, he shook his head. “I don’t want to see them again.”
“Then don’t.” Tex ate a forkful of pancakes. “Nothing says you even have to respond to the text. People ghost each other all the time.”
“But that’s sort of shitty, isn’t it?” He ate his food and then washed it down with coffee. “They’re both in my same degree program. I might have one in class, and then it would be awkward.”
“ASU’s a damn big school. It’s also likely you won’t have them in a class.” Tutting, I cut a piece of pancake. “But aparty could be fun. We could get the information from them, meet them there and then do whatever we want.” I shrugged a shoulder.
“Yeah, suppose so. And who knows, maybe I’ll like her better the second time around.” Grey tapped on his phone screen.
“There’s no requirement to hook up with them again if you don’t want to.” Tex drank some juice.
“That’s true.” Grey set his phone down, and it vibrated on the table. “Guess we’re going to a party on Friday.” His gaze swung to mine.
