“Keuh, ah, ugh! Ah!”405e903cf0cb95cf

With splashing sounds, as e3549d21e3 the cock entered him 7abb674418 and stirred inside, the 106de7f660 man collapsed forward as bef7c14361 if his strength had 6db2d0f483 given way. The man with 7c3988a1e8 golden-brown hair caught 3dadb351fb him. Chuckling, the man wiped 5ad5ddb418 his messy face, kissed f371c83bdf the other, and then 8f35c598e0 inserted his tongue.4486c158adc21491

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.483728b8c22ae450

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—.”2d5e7e773219fd95

The other man 541b8b7f38 kissed Jay. Jealousy, a 9ad93d53e8 sense of 5d1ed4e287 transgression, and 86a46c2ca0 excitement arose 2bd64db030 in the cb4f34f3f6 man being 2ff24c0b96 penetrated as 8faabe02d9 he watched 77fbdcd135 them kiss 44742226f4 while being 668a769f95 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.a439b59ff76628c3

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.e2352c898270377f

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.74951bb854a67c86

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.a7af1a88836748fb

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.72bd5c6ccb86f211

The man cd7ba234f5 was left 4c24fd47fc panting alone dec782a488 on the 48e3a43784 bed.370e8c56f90f8391

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.97cdf93638db0a2e

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.7b8463b08c6318cc

John Stalker said, 06c30f8b2d casting a glance bcdb091553 at the bed. The man Jay had c20c5d6c55 brought was writhing and d0b22a6592 thrusting into the air, 1f5b50500d as if he were 04cd30e7fb hallucinating.

Jay brushed off the man’s arm that had been draped over his shoulder.847e1630191dda71

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.2e92257166c93a19

His reputation was already 9df82f4549 a mess—promiscuous, a slut.
