Then he stood and went to his locker, dropped his towel, and began to get dressed.
Bash stood and removed his own towel. Standing there naked for a moment, he thought about what Cort had said. It might be nothing. Maybe Cort really meant to tell him about yoga. There was something in the way Cort had spoken, though, that made Bash think itwasn’tyoga he had meant. It had sounded conspiratorial, as if he were going to let Bash in on a secret. Whatever that secret was, Bash didn’t want any part in it, and he hoped that Cort wasn’t messing around with things that he shouldn’t. Cort was part of a team now—Bash’s team—and any consequences he experienced would be shared by the team.
He hoped Cort understood that.

It was late that night, and Bash was working on a case study for his Strategic Management class, when his phone buzzed in his pocket. He was in one of Bellford’s many libraries, on the third floor of the stacks, having locked himself away from any distractions, but he wanted a break, so he checked his phone.
He was glad he did.
It was a message from Adonis.
Adonis: you know what I miss?
Bash smiled, typing out a response after looking around to make sure no one could walk up and see his phone screen.
Bash: Let me take a wild guess. My cock?
Adonis: Wow. What a dirty mind. I was going to say all the free time I had before I became a student athlete.
Adonis: JK
Adonis: Of course I mean your cock. What else would I mean?
Bash: Funnily enough, my cock misses you, too. You did such a good job of sucking it.
Adonis: Thank you, thank you. I have gotten some great reviews before.
Bash: Add me to the list of good reviews
Adonis: Feel free to submit some feedback on my Yelp page
Bash: “Let me cum in his mouth in an abandoned supply closet. Five stars.”
Adonis: Yes. Perfect
Adonis: you knowwwwwwww
Bash: What do I knowwwwwww?
Adonis: That calendar invite I sent you. It’s for tomorrow.
Bash: I’m aware.
Adonis: Do you still want to rendezvous?
Bash: Crazy way of asking if I want to fuck you.
Adonis: OK. My bad. Do you want to fuck me tomorrow?
Bash: Hm. Let me think…
Adonis: Offer rescinded
Bash: Bad boy.
Adonis: Oops. Sorry. How can I make it up to you?
