This line of thinking was not helping. I was hard as a rock now. I let out a deep sigh.
"Can't sleep?"
Tori's voice startled me. "Ah, no, not yet. Mind is racing a bit, ya know?"
"Mine too," she said.
We fell silent for a bit again before she continued.
"Tyler, can I ask you something?"
"Shoot."
"I don't want to be weird or anything, but it's about earlier today. About this morning..."
"Oh, uh, ha." s**t. I thought we'd moved past this. "Sure, why not?"
"You were watching a video when I came in here..."
"Ummm, yeah, I guess."
There was motion and Tori was sitting upright on the bed, looking at me. f**k! I didn't dare move anything but my head, which I turned slightly to face her.
"Is that the kind of stuff guys really like?"
"What do you mean?"
"Um, I believe it was something like, 'Ruin my asshole, daddy,'" she said, giving a pretty good impression of that actress, before she buried her hands in her face and started laughing.
"I told you, that's not what I was watching!"
"Tyler, it's OK, I'm not criticizing. I'm just asking."
"Tori, I'm being serious. f**k. How can I put this without making it weird?"
"I think we're a little past that, aren't we?"
I laughed. "Are you sure? Seriously, I don't want to offend you or freak you out, or make you think I'm some kind of weirdo."
"Tyler, for the last time, I don't think you're a weirdo, OK? And besides that, I'm the one asking here. You're not going to offend me. I'm the one risking offending YOU, not only by barging in here before, but by asking about it now."
"Alright. Seriously, though, I wasn't watching that video. I was watching another video and had already, well, finished. That video ended and the site just randomly played something else. I wasn't paying any attention to it, and then I saw you, and all hell broke loose."
"Oh."
There was silence again, but neither of us had moved. The conversation clearly wasn't over.
"It's not like I haven't watched porn before," she said.
I laughed. "Yeah? Cool." I really didn't know what to say to that.
The silence was back. This was certainly awkward, but she started it, and I needed at least one of my own questions answered.
"May I ask a question?"
"Shoot," she said with a laugh. "Only fair."
"How long were you watching me this morning?"
Another silence. I moved quickly to reassure her.
"I'm not mad," I said. "I'm just...curious. I wasn't really paying much attention to my surroundings at the time." I hoped a little self-deprecating humor would put her at ease.
"Well," she began, timidly. "It was...before you...finished."
I don't know if she could see my eyes in the darkness, but they were suddenly very wide. BEFORE? I tried to replay the morning in my mind. I guess I'd just convinced myself she came into the room AFTER, so she'd seen me with a bunch of tissues over my c**k. Embarrassing, sure, but now I was realizing she'd actually seen me jerking off.
Strike that, it was more than seeing me. She WATCHED. She saw me, then she watched me, and stuck around until after I'd blown my load.
This was taking my feelings in a whole different direction. I'd been thoroughly embarrassed before. Now I felt...violated? Also more than a little confused. If I'd walked in on something like that happening, I'd need to like what I was seeing to choose to stick around and watch, right?
I broke the silence. "How long before?"
"Maybe a couple of minutes," she said. "I'm sorry, Tyler. I should have left right away."
"Why didn't you?"
Now it was her turn for a long exhale. "At first I was shocked. Really, I figured you had gone back to sleep, and I would just put the study notes on your desk. When I saw you I was, I don't know, paralyzed?"
"Great to know I have that effect on women."
She laughed. "That's not how I meant it! I was just frozen. I mean...shit, this is going to sound weird, and I'm sorry, but there's no other way to say it...it was...hot."
"Seriously?"
"f**k. Yeah, Ty, it was hot, OK? Shit...you have a really nice looking c**k. I can't believe I just said that!"
Now it was my turn to laugh. "'Nice looking c**k,'" I said, quoting her words back to her. "Every man's dream endorsement."
"Oh, stop it," she said, chucking a pillow at me. "I told you it was going to sound weird, OK?"
"Hey, you gave me some s**t this morning. I'm just glad I can return the favor now. It's all good."
"You're sure?"
"I'm sure, Tori."
Silence again. This one went on for a few minutes. She still hadn't moved, so she clearly wasn't finished talking yet, but I didn't know what was left to cover.
"Would you show me?"
"Ummmm, what do you mean?"
"Nevermind."
"Tori, no. Show you what?"
"This is so embarrassing. Just forget it."
"Well now that's impossible. You saw my 'nice looking c**k' this morning, which thoroughly embarrassed me. If there's something to even the score here, I'm all ears. Show you what?"
She sighed. "I want to see the video you were watching."
I don't know what I'd expected her to say, but hearing those words sent a shudder through my body. My c**k was now impossibly hard. This girl, Tori, this freaking goddess, wants me to show her the porn I was watching today when she saw me jerking off. Is this some kind of a dream? Maybe I'm in a coma. That's it! I came so hard this morning that I put myself into a coma.
"Ty, are you OK?"
Alright, no coma. "Yeah, sorry, I guess that 'frozen' thing is contagious."
She laughed. I laughed. The tension eased a bit.
