Chapter 9: Whispers and Fallout

Jake 👦🏼

The Weekend Before

The weekend was our bubble, the apartment a warm fortress against the world. Saturday night, Emily, Sarah, and I sprawled on the couch, binging Attack on Titan, empty popcorn bowls scattered on the coffee table. My bruises from the fight with Vance ached, purpling my ribs, but the girls’ laughter dulled the pain. Emily, in her oversized Pikachu hoodie, argued with Sarah about Eren’s motivations, her hands waving like she was debugging code mid-air. Sarah, in a tank top, her blonde ponytail swinging, tossed a pillow at Emily, grinning. I sat between them, arms around their shoulders, feeling like the luckiest junior at Westview.

We weren’t public—Emily and Sarah’s Instagram post made that clear—but here, we were a unit. After the anime, we worked on our Knight-Pawn puzzle game for the Geek Pride tech fair. Emily tweaked the 3D knight animations, her brow furrowed like she was solving a checkmate-in-three. Sarah sketched a sleek board reset function on her tablet, her strokes confident. I optimized the puzzle logic, fingers flying over my laptop. Our shoulders bumped, laughs blended, and I felt whole. Later, we made out, slow and sweet, their lips teasing, hands wandering just enough to spark my pulse. My knight shielding their pawn and bishop, a perfect opening. But a glitch nagged me, like a bug in clean code. Vance is out there. He’s not done.

Sunday, we hit the local diner for brunch, the air thick with syrup and coffee. Emily stole fries from my plate, her grin mischievous, while Sarah teased my ketchup obsession. We talked sports—Sarah’s cheer routines, my football drills—and planned the week’s coding sprints. Back home, we curled up for a movie, their heads on my chest, hands tracing my arms.

They retired to their room early, whispering about needing space to “figure things out.” I wanted to be there, but it was too soon. I smiled, giving them privacy, happy to support their exploration. They’re finding their rhythm, and I’m their anchor.

Monday

Intimacy: Playful Exploration

Monday morning, I sipped coffee in our kitchen, the apartment buzzing with Emily and Sarah’s debate over Dune’s spice logistics. Emily’s dark hair spilled over her laptop, fingers tapping code for our game. Sarah, in her cheer jacket, sketched UI designs, her blue eyes bright. My bruises had faded to faint aches, their presence warming every corner. After breakfast, they pulled me into a group hug. Emily’s lips brushed my cheek while Sarah’s hand squeezed my arm.

“Ready to crush it, hero?” Sarah teased, her voice low.

She leaned in to pull me into a sensual make-out session. Emily grinned and dropped to her knees. She tugged my pants down. I tried to glance at her, but Sarah’s kiss locked me in place, her lips fierce.

Emily’s lips pressed soft kisses along my length, then closed around the tip of my cock. Her mouth felt warm and teasing. I whimpered into Sarah’s mouth, their double attack perfectly synced. They’re exploring together, and I’m their playground. They kept switching the position while keeping me teetering on the edge.

Sarah finally took mercy on me. Her lips closed around my cock with bold suction. Emily kissed me hard while her hands roamed my chest. My hips bucked as Sarah deepened her rhythm and tried to swallow my length. Emily’s fingers closed on my ass cheeks as he helped me move my hips.

I devoured Emily’s lips while my palms closed around her growing breasts. As my pleasure reached its peak, I pinched her nipples to make her shudder against me. Emily drowned out my whimpers of release as I flooded Sarah’s mouth.

Sarah continued to roll her tongue on my cockhead while she collected my cum in her mouth. Once I was done, she got up to share a sloppy kiss with Emily. They exchanged my cum with pleasure while some dripped down their chins.

Their giggles echoed as they licked each other clean. Their growing ease with each other was endearing.

We collapsed on the couch, them snuggling into my sides, my heart racing. They’re mine, and I’m theirs.

Rumors: Whispers Begin

Classes dragged, the lecture halls stuffy with late spring heat. At lunch in the cafeteria, I grabbed a burger and caught two teammates—Jacob and a linebacker—whispering at a corner table.

Their voices dropped as I passed, but I heard “Jake” slip out, sharp and low.

I shrugged it off—college thrives on gossip—and sat alone, sketching game algorithms on a napkin. The air felt off, like a play about to fumble. I pushed it aside, focusing on our chess game’s knight-pawn logic, but the whispers lingered, a faint glitch in my day.

Tuesday

Intimacy: A Teasing Spark

Tuesday morning, I woke to Emily’s chiptune alarm, her groan muffled as she burrowed into my side. Sarah, already up, tossed a sock at us from her bed.

“Move it, lazybones,” she laughed.

They’d ended up in my bed after a late-night make-out session, their hands bold but careful, leaving me breathless.

In the kitchen, they tag-teamed breakfast, Emily flipping pancakes and Sarah sneaking bites. I stole a kiss from each, their lips tasting of maple syrup, Sarah’s fingers lingering on my neck, teasing.

Rumors: Sharp Edges

Grabbing a soda by the gym, I overheard Jacob nudge his buddy. “There’s Jake, the ladies’ man,” he sneered, loud enough to sting.

I raised an eyebrow, but they sauntered off while chuckling. At practice, Vance’s cronies kept their distance, their sidelong glances heavy.

I asked Matt, my wingman, what was up. “Just dumb rumors,” he mumbled, fidgeting with his helmet, eyes dodging mine. He muttered something about Vance skimming fundraiser cash, then clammed up.

Is that his play? The field used to be home—sprinting under stadium lights, Matt’s fist bumps after a good play. Now he wouldn’t look at me, the vibe sour like a missed pass. I pushed through drills, unease growing like a pawn out of position.

Wednesday

Intimacy: Healing in the Steam

Wednesday at 6 a.m., I hit the shower early, hot water easing my tension. I’d slept alone, giving the girls space.

Giggles cut through the steam—Emily and Sarah slipped in, naked, their warm bodies pressing against my back, stopping me from turning.

“Morning, hero,” Emily whispered, her breath tickling my ear.

“Stressed already?” Sarah cooed, lips grazing my other ear.

Their hands slid down, wrapping around my cock, stroking in sync. Steam curled around us, their wet skin slick against mine.

Emily’s giggle vibrated through me; Sarah’s bold touch sparked my pulse, washing away the team’s cold shoulders.

I tilted toward Emily, her lips hungry and teasing, while Sarah nibbled my ear. They switched, Sarah’s kiss fierce, Emily’s teeth grazing my neck, their hands relentless, slick with soap.

“Cum for us, Jake,” Sarah murmured, husky.

“Let it all out,” Emily breathed.

“God, I’m close,” I gasped.

Emily knelt, her lips closing around me, taking every pulse, her mouth warm and steady. She rose, pulling Sarah into a messy kiss, sharing my release, some dripping down their chins.

They giggled, licking each other clean, eyes locked on mine, raw and playful. They’ve got a taste for this, and it’s healing. They shooed me out, smirking, leaving me flushed and grinning.

Rumors: Poison Spreads

At the library, grabbing a coding textbook, I overheard freshmen muttering behind a stack.

“Heard Jake’s gay. Tried hitting on Vance’s crew.”

My stomach twisted, my face burning. Gay? Me? I didn’t care about labels, but this was Vance’s venom from our fight and Sarah’s outing.

I kept walking, but the words stuck like wet grass on cleats. At practice, guys I used to joke with barely spoke. Vance was suspended after his Instagram stunt, but his buddies spread poison.

Kyle, a lineman, “accidentally” slammed me during a play, his shoulder driving into my chest.

“Watch it, rookie,” he muttered, smirking. I gritted my teeth, playing through.
