A darkened house.

The house was dark when Gary and Ben returned, only one dim light on in the kitchen. They left their shoes in the hall. In the kitchen there were some dirty dishes soaking in the sink, but nobody there.

"Lil? Bernie?" Gary called. There was no answer. "Guess they must have gone to bed," he said.

"With each other?" Ben asked.

Gary laughed. "You wish," he said. "Or is my sister tiring you out and you need a break?"

"Well, hey," Ben said, tilting his head at Gary. "So you wanna run me up your flagpole?" he asked.

Gary said, "Yeah, maybe." His voice was a little uncertain. "It feels a little funny doing it inside my house."

Ben laughed. "Your mom and dad lay a trip on you? Full metal pajamas and no sleep-overs? Good thing they'll be gone another week."

"Not really. I mean, you saw what Lil was wearing," Gary said. "Practically bottomless. That's what she usually wears to bed. And Bernie sleeps over every week and comes down for breakfast in a T-shirt and panties. Sometimes panties." He laughed. "I meant with another guy."

"You're right about the girls, might as well match the house dress code," he said. Ben skinned down his pants and rolled them into a bundle. His circumcised erect penis sprang up, smooth and gold and tipped with dark pink. It bounced as he walked.

Gary laughed. He pulled off his pants and rolled them up. Gary's half-hard cock bounced on his thigh. "Shall we check on the girls?"

"Wait a sec," Ben said. "You can't go like that."

"Huh?" Gary said. "Why?"

"You don't have a hard-on," Ben reached out and grasped Gary's drooping penis. Gary twitched but didn't push him away. "Girls gotta know you want them," Ben said. He stroked Gary's foreskin up and down his shaft, covering and uncovering his cock head. "Think of Bernie pulling down her overalls and bending over for you."

Gary could imagine it because it had happened once at her house. Bernie Bernstein wore short overalls sometimes on hot days, and one of those days, they'd had a nice quickie while her mom was taking a nap. He recalled the look of her broad bare butt pointed at him, tilted up to show off her pussy lips. The sexy sweaty smell of her on that hot day. He bet she'd bent over for Ben too. A hot flash ran through him. His cock swelled more. Jealousy? Anger?

"There you go," said Ben, and let go of Gary's erect penis. "Shall we go find those gals?"
