A Shot in The Dark

2

Eric didn't know when he had fallen asleep, and it wasn't until he could feel arms move around his body. It sent an alarm in him, and he jolted staring into brown eyes that belonged to Charlie. The man froze and watched him curiously, he had been so close to Eric that he could see how perfect his lashes were.

"I'm undoing your seatbelt, we're at the house." he explained.

Charlie continued unlatching the belt and stepped away from Eric, allowing him room to leave the car. He didn't know why the man made him so nervous, then again, any overly cheery person seemed iffy to Eric. He stood from the car, stretching his body and taking in the large home; it had been modern and clearly in a rich neighborhood. Eric turned and observed a long pavement driveway that had been blocked by a huge Iron gate. He would have to scope wherever he was staying in case he needed to run away, for now he would stay. Charlie closed the car door behind him and offered a hand; Eric took it, and both headed towards a small porch.

"Where's Ryan?"

"He went in to set up your room and go in his office." Charlie said.

Eric didn't say anything else, just allowed himself to be pulled past the threshold into a neat home. Each of the walls had been decorated with large curtains and pictures that seemed to be hand painted. He followed Charlie further down the hall into a large living room filled with two large couches and a glass table that had hooks installed into it. Eric didn't dare ask why there were hooks installed into a coffee table nor did he want to know. Charlie, however, didn't seem as shameful about having something as evident as that out for guests to see and plopped onto the far end of the couch.

"Master Sebastian will be down shortly" he said and proceeded to pull a phone from his pants, tapping idling at it.

Eric took the other end of the couch and examined the rest of the room. His gaze landed on the fireplace first, wanting to desperately turn it on but didn't bother to ask, seeing as the house already was warm. It had always been a fantasy of his to cuddle by the fireplace, just like couples did in romance novellas he used to watch as a kid. It was when he got first crush on the lead male actor; he remembered gushing to his aunt about the man and for his twelfth birthday she had gotten him a blanket with his face plastered on it.

"Glad to see you're entertaining your guest, Charlie." a deep voice spoke

Eric turned to see a broad shoulder man with vibrant blue hair that been pulled back. He had looked completely liked the black sheep of the group, but somehow, he still managed to seem intimidating. Charlie stood from the couch and moved to the floor.

"Master" he said quietly.

The blue hair man, Sebastian, stalked towards a now kneeling Charlie reaching a hand into his hair. Charlie leaned into his touch and Sebastian let out a sound of approval. His gaze lifted towards Eric, examining him slowly before they returned to Charlie.

"You brought home a friend?"

"He's crashing with us, he's...not into this stuff" Charlie answers. Sebastian nodded and lifted his hands from the man's head earning a low whine from Charlie. Eric watched the man take the empty spot that Charlie occupied earlier.

"Come here Charlie" Sebastian called.

Charlie stood and moved towards the man, placing himself into his lap. "You are quite social, I admit. Ryan explained the situation to me, but let's refrain from bringing home anymore people, yes?"

Eric almost choked; he hadn't been the first? Now he starting to think the guy was bringing home random people to fuck. Even though he was being shared between two men, Eric couldn't believe the guy had been greedy for side flings. To each their own, he couldn't understand that type of logic nor anything the three of them were into. Eric regretted even coming here and glanced towards the front door.
