argue.

I drove into him a few more times before letting myself fall over that edge, my body going stiff before a low groan of effort exploded from me, my dick pulsing inside of him, seeming almost endless as it filled the condom.

My whole body was shaking with the intensity of it, and I slumped against him, resting my weight atop Elliot as I sank into bonelessness. When I was finally able to move to the side and make it the few steps to dispose of the condom, all I wanted to do was get back in bed with him.

So I did, pulling him close, listening to his heartbeat as we both fell asleep.

Elliot

It was hard for me not to gush about Reuben with Keith and Tina, which meant every time I did, they grew more and more impatient about meeting him. I told them it was casual, that it wasn't ever going to be anything else. Keith dismissed that and Tina gave me her concerned look each time, but it didn't stop them from asking.

Finally, I worked up the courage to see if Reuben would be willing to make an appearance. Not the courage to do it in person, of course. Just the courage to text him.

Elliot: Hey, so I'm going out with Keith and Tina tonight. La Tienda, I think. Hard to pull Keith away from the offer of bottomless tequila.

Elliot: Anyway, they've been hounding me to meet you, and I was wondering if you'd like to come.

Elliot: Completely casual. They know we're not boyfriends or whatever.

Elliot: It's cool if you don't want to, though.

I had to stop myself from continuing to ramble. The three dots showing Reuben was typing a response was enough to get me to stay my hand for a bit, but it lifted my heart into my throat and for a long moment I didn't breathe.

Reuben: Yeah, I can hang out. Your friends sound like a trip.

I stared at the response for a long time, wondering if I'd imagined it. When it didn't suddenly disappear, I was quick to reply.

Elliot: They're definitely... something. Fair warning, Keith will probably hit on you. And not in any way that's subtle or remotely acceptable.

Reuben: He can try, but he doesn't stand a chance. ;)

That one line set the tone for the entire evening, as it turned out. Confusion blossomed in my chest, mixing with the back-and-forth I'd had for a month now. I still couldn't tell what Reuben actually wanted out of this... arrangement, and that only became more muddled as the night went on.

We got there around nine, finding Keith first. He was already at the bar, enjoying a half-price margarita. Apparently not his first, as I saw him sway a little when he got off the stool.

"Well hello there," he said, using what he'd personally described as his "sexy voice."

Right now, it was a little slurred, but I could admit if I found Keith attractive in that way, it would have worked on me.

Reuben just extended a hand for a shake. Keith took it delicately, turning it over in his own hand.

"Big, strong hands, too. Bet you get a lot of work done with these," he said with a wink.

"Keith," I hissed through my teeth, cutting a glare at him. "Could you tone down the rabid horniness just a bit?"

"It's fine," said Reuben. "I do get a lot of work done with them. I'm a physical therapist, so it's kind of my job."

"So if I break my leg, I could get you to put your hands on me?"

I muttered under my breath, knowing there was no stopping Keith. Instead I just tried to get the attention of the hostess so we could be seated.

"If you play for the Gators, sure. I wouldn't recommend it, though. Stress fractures are a bit to recover from, but impact fractures are even worse."

"Ooh, science talk. My favorite," Keith said, his lips curving into a smirk.

I was so, so glad to see Tina walk through the door. The hostess was all set to lead us to a booth, but I flagged down my more sensible friend. She smiled brightly when she saw Reuben.

"I'm so glad you were able to make it. And so sorry you had to deal with Keith without me being here," she added, holding her arms out. "Can I hug you? Are you okay with hugs?"

"Wow, my sister never even bothers asking," Reuben said, returning her smile. "I'm good with hugs."

He stepped forward and Tina embraced him, giving
