“Keuh, ah, ugh! Ah!”ae67ef65b638cac5

With splashing 23185c98b6 sounds, as c98009dbe0 the cock 414482e3ff entered him c2a082b8a9 and stirred 94e8add2f5 inside, the 42ae564818 man collapsed aad8081bd8 forward as 93a41dcb7e if his 0bcfc7ddb6 strength had 1c259e3eaf given way. The man with 6c6a1b5e58 golden-brown hair caught 1bea553fad him. Chuckling, the man 843f509e8f wiped his messy 26d7c42f55 face, kissed the 6425a6ed10 other, and then bbc6583092 inserted his tongue.64d5a6ef6b1e0259

Making sucking and moaning sounds as they mingled tongues, the man cried out, “Heung!” at the sudden thrusting motion. Jay relentlessly pounded into the man. Clinging to the other man’s shoulders, the man moaned, “Ah, uh,” and a laughing sound came from behind, as if Jay found it amusing.7bad4d66c17f97d2

Saying so, Jay spanked the man’s buttocks. As the physical stimulation caused the inside to tighten and then loosen, Jay exhaled and said, “Good—.”bcce27ae3ef5b02e

The other man kissed 56f86d9752 Jay. Jealousy, a 6911c46aae sense of cf96e54fb6 transgression, and 5cd71114a1 excitement arose 4ccdef3055 in the 9a30a52df4 man being b1b7e5d8a8 penetrated as 92e9084fca he watched def247e1c7 them kiss 322215514e while being e41117650d fucked.

It was a very different kind of sex than usual. After repeatedly spanking and thrusting, Jay flinched, and the man felt him climax inside. The feeling of Jay’s cock pulsating within him made the man shudder. His front was already soaked with his own cum. As Jay pulled out, the other man eagerly took his place.2e58e0dba3db5d60

While Jay’s cock was impressive, the other man, who was four inches taller and more heavily built, possessed a tool that was nothing short of a weapon.296b6980066a05f5

He flipped the man over and thrust inside. The man with the golden-brown hair spread the receiving man’s legs apart and began to thrust, also spanking his buttocks. The faster tempo and deeper penetration than Jay’s made the man shake his head and cry out.ea5b5f4ab4d13627

“Ah, ahh, huh, ah! Ah! Ah! Uh, ah huh, ah, haa, ah!”c82d408459ce1d24

Jay looked down at him. With a lascivious smile the man had never seen before, Jay asked, “Want to do something even better?” Unable to answer because he didn’t understand what Jay meant, the man remained silent. Jay climbed on top of him and, without hesitation, aligned the cock of the man. The opening felt tight for a moment, then smoothly swallowed his penis. Jay paused, took a breath, and then slowly began to rotate his hips.7997d72f9e9e849c

Being pounded from behind and rocked from above, the man couldn’t focus. Lost as to which rhythm to follow, he could only moan. Jay, seemingly reaching his peak, stopped, his thighs trembling slightly as he clung to the man. Then he curled up and stood. Every time Jay moved his hips above him, the cock inside him moved as well. Pre-cum dripped from the aroused penis onto the man’s navel.98db3d8fab819fa4

The man e8f0f6757b was left 3f289acb95 panting alone 78808d9cca on the 19d30d114c bed.2177ac5085a2c427

Jay buried his face between the man’s thighs. His Adam’s apple bobbed noticeably. When he pulled away, a drop of blood fell, staining the sheets. Jay wiped the blood from his lips with his hand, then licked it clean. He regretted the single drop of blood on the sheets, but there was nothing he could do.07ef8af4242b8360

There was no more blood flowing from the man’s thigh, but the bite marks were still there. Jay got up from the bed and sat down next to John Stalker, who was sprawled on the sofa. John caught the faint scent of blood and smirked, then wiped the blood off Jay’s lips and brought it to his own mouth.26f2851a2203f3b1

Jay brushed off the man’s arm that had been draped over his shoulder.c90966609e9d37c0

The lingering sense of familiarity he’d felt just before coming home had meant his origin was nearby. The moment he realized that, it left a bad taste in his mouth. It had been so long since he’d felt it that he’d forgotten what it meant, and that forgetfulness had led to this mess. If he’d realized it sooner, he would’ve run the moment he reached the entrance.e34f2a49bdb83ae7

His reputation 2213697372 was already f04d29214c a mess—promiscuous, 7d0530458b a slut. If word 1237f723df got out 7e87a2ef98 that he’d f564f34e94 done it 9649bf85be with two c903379cc7 guys at ef277611dc once, it’d ab93bbb2f9 only get 84064940e6 worse.

Jay’s house was old, drafty, and let in all the noise from the street. Maybe it was the fear of being in a foreign place where an unfamiliar language was spoken, but a lot of people didn’t like that the language leaking into the house wasn’t English—but Chinese.014cc002ed91353d
