Zach

I was fooling myself if I thought I was going to get the damn thing done with the prospect of coming out, to four guys I’d basically been lying to forever, hanging over my head. I kept reading the same assignment, hoping eventually it would make sense. By the fourth or fifth read-through, the words began swimming around the screen, and I slammed the lid of my laptop closed.

Fuck this. I knew I wasn't doing myself any favors, but it was past time to lay all my shit out. I stomped out of my room and knocked on Jayden and Chase's door. Jayden poked his head out, carefully blocking me from entering.

“Hey man, what's up?”

“Would you mind coming out to the living area?” I requested. “I need to talk to you guys for a second.”

Jayden's face paled. Shit. Apparently, me wanting to talk set everyone on edge. “It's nothing bad, I swear.”

“What's going on?” Chase asked from inside the room.

“Zach says he needs to talk to everybody.”

“Oh fuck.” That might have been one of the first times I'd heard him cuss.

He quickly apologized and I couldn't help but laugh. “No sweat, man. I'm learning that me not being a grumpy troll has that effect on people.”

Jayden simply shrugged. “Give us a few minutes and we’ll be out.” He began to shut the door, pausing and turning back to me. “You're sure everything's okay?”

“Yeah. At least, I hope it will be,” I hedged. I was still scared these two were going to lay into me once they knew the truth. And there would be nothing I could do but sit there and take it because I brought it on myself.

If only it was as easy as the spanking Colin had given me that first day. He said everything would be forgiven after that but, until I saw this through, I knew I would carry around the guilt with me.

Great. And now I was standing in front of Colin’s brother's bedroom door, sporting wood, thinking about how cathartic that spanking had been, and wondering if he'd give me another tonight if I asked nicely. And I would. I would drop to my knees and beg, if it helped me get out of my head the way it had the first time.

I made a beeline for the refrigerator, grabbing myself another beer. I needed to slow down after this. Alcohol tended to make me stupid, and neither of the men who could save me from myself were here.

“You want one?” I called out to Matt and Brandon through the serving window between the kitchen and dining area.

Matt turned to Brandon, who shook his head. “No, thank you.”

I'd seen him do something similar in the past, but I felt like my eyes were wide open for the first time in years. Was Matt like me? Is that what Colin and Daniel were being so cagey about before? I wanted to ask, hoping that maybe Matt could help me understand all these confusing feelings running through my brain.
