worry ing about what Mac was thinking. Mac wouldn’t have asked Jez
to do this with him if he hadn’t wanted it, so he was clearly into this. Once
again, Jez was oblivious to the video—afterwards he couldn’t have even
said what the couple looked like. He watched Mac instead, focusing on
Mac’s hand and his cock and the way his breathing got faster as he got
close. Jez wondered if Mac was watching him too, and when he glanced
up to check, he found he was.
Jez bit back a chuckle. This was so fucked-up, but he didn’t care
because it was awesom e too. These sessions with Mac were hands down
the hottest thing he’d ever done with another person, and they hadn’t even
touched each other. He watched Mac’s hand again and im agined those
strong fingers wrapped around his own dick, and that was all it took. Jez
cam e, dim ly aware of Mac m oaning beside him , com ing too.
“It was a draw,” Jez said.
“Bollocks. You cam e first.”
“By about two seconds.”
“Still counts.”
“Fuck y ou.” Jez shoulder checked Mac, m aking him y elp. “Got any
tissues?”
“Only bog roll. I’m not as classy as y ou.” Mac passed him a roll of
toilet paper from beside the bed. “Wanna go back down and play m ore
Mario Kart?” he asked once they ’d cleaned up.
“Sure. But j ust so y ou know… y ou’re going down.”
“Bring it.”
After that, wanking together becam e a regular thing over the next
couple of weeks. Not only at the weekends when they ’d been drinking, but
a few tim es a week—basically whenever they could get away and be
alone together without it being obvious that som ething was going on.
Som etim es Mac would instigate it, som etim es Jez, but after a few m ore
sessions it got so that they both knew how it would end if they were
hanging out together. The tension would thicken, and they ’d start catching
each other’s ey e until finally one of them would crack.
They hadn’t discussed their little arrangem ent again since the second
tim e, and they still watched porn—m aking a point of getting out the laptop
in whoever’s room they were in and choosing som ething to watch. But
they both knew that they really watched each other, and Jez had given up
even try ing to hide his interest. He was totally hot for Mac, and watching
him get off pushed all Jez’s buttons. As for Mac—Jez had no idea what
was going on in his head, and Mac didn’t seem keen to talk about it. If he
was as straight as he claim ed, m ay be he was into the whole exhibitionist-
slash-voy eur vibe they had going on? But Jez didn’t care what his
m otivations were, as long as they could keep doing it.
Chapter Five
When things changed again, alcohol was involved.
It was a Saturday night in the m iddle of Novem ber. Dani was away
visiting her boy friend again, and Josh had gone out early with barely a
word to the rest of them . Shawn and Mike tried and failed to persuade
Mac and Jez to j oin them in the student union bar. They ’d not told Shawn
and Mike about their stay ing-in pact. It wasn’t worth the hassle because it
would only have m ade Shawn m ore determ ined to lead them astray.
They ’d stuck with their excuses of finances and study ing respectively.
Both were still true, after all.
“Just com e out for a few beers,” Shawn said. “You two are like an
old m arried couple, for fuck’s sake. All y ou do is hang out together and
watch TV.”
“Som etim es we study,” Mac said.
“And play video gam es,” Jez added. They were currently in the
m iddle of a Super Smash Bros. battle. Jez’s cheeks heated at the “m arried
couple” dig. He didn’t dare look at Mac to see if he’d reacted too.
“Like that’s any better. And Mac, Maria was asking after y ou last
weekend, and she’s gonna be there tonight. I reckon y ou’re well in there.
Why stay in and j erk off when y ou could be out with a hot babe like
her?”
Mac stiffened beside Jez. His
