A dull throb was now audibly emanating from the computers’ speakers, underneath the wet sucking sounds of the blowjob that was now transfixing all four fraternity brothers. A small red light on the black box resting in front of Lee’s keyboard seemed to pulse in time with the throb. “There was … an announcer at the party,” Brian was saying. His own voice sounded distracted, and Nick could see his fingers, tense, gripping the sides of his bare thighs. “Like a guide. Telling us what to do.” “It turns you on,” Lee continued. “The machine. Like, gets you as hard as you’ve ever been. Takes you to the edge.”

Onscreen, twin images of the spit-slick cock emerged from between the pair of pink lips, a heavy vein running down the length of the shaft pulsing visibly — in time, Nick could feel, with the throbbing noise. In time with the throbbing of his own cock. “Ahhh, puñeta.” Nick turned to his left, seeing Danny clutching the clear outline of his shaft against his left thigh through his gym shorts. “This is what you guys did last night? Went to a club and watched porn?” The earlier teasing tone in Danny’s voice was gone, no judgement to his question.

“Yeah. But you don’t just watch.”

Brian swiveled his chair to the side, hiking up his legs as he did so to hang them off the armrests. His right hand was wrapped firmly around his cock, his left cupping his balls below. His eyes seemed glassy, and he made no move to hide his exposure to his friends. To his right, Lee stood up, shucking off his boxers, and adopted a similar position in his own chair.

“You stroke,” Brian explained, as behind him the images on the screen shifted, splitting the two screens into quadrants, each filled with a different sex act — in one corner, the continuing blow job; in another, a pair of overfilled tits wrapping around a white cock; in a third, wet pussy lips, already dripping sperm, opening to take in a fresh dick. The scenes shifted as Nick watched; in his peripheral vision, Brian and Lee continued to pump their own shafts, half turned towards the screen and half towards the bed. “Take off your clothes and beat off.”
