Author's note: It should finally get to the good stuff next chapter!
10 minutes later they were sitting in the living room. They had ordered room service–Karl had outdone himself with a beef Wellington Adam would have never been able to afford in his wildest dreams. There was no sound besides chewing, the clink of silverware, and Mittens playing with some toys Adam had gotten out.
"I'm sorry that we lied to you about what we really do," Anubis spoke at last. Thankfully–or not thankfully depending on Adam's thoughts at the moment–they had clothed themselves in some robes provided by the hotel. And damn them for looking effortlessly good in the maroon satiny material, even lounging and eating on the couch.
"S'alright," Adam said to his mashed potatoes.
"No, it's not," Walt said, honest and forthcoming as always. "It was stupid of us thinking you wouldn't find out about us doing porn." He said that so normally, as if this were an everyday thing. For them it probably was.
"I should have made sure the door was shut," Carter said, shaking his head. "We thought you were dead asleep. Thought you would sleep in a bit now that you didn't have to worry about finding a place and everything." Adam actually found himself laughing.
"I did actually sleep in. That bed's the best. But I think I heard you talking through the walls," Adam told them. "... So you guys do porn, huh? That's…not what I expected honestly." Anubis shrugged, putting his plate to the side.
"It's honestly not what I expected to be doing either. But it pays well and leaves me with a very open schedule," Anubis admitted. "But it's not to everyone's taste. Sadie found out and she just started talking." Adam's eyes bulged.
"Wait? Carter's sister found out you were doing porn?!" Carter blushed and nodded.
"Worse than that," he said. Adam made a noise of disbelief. Walt's smile was embarrassed.
"Anubis and I used to date Sadie, on and off again," Walt explained. Adam whistled and shook his head
"Your lives sound like a porn honestly," Adam marvelled. "Next thing you know there's an evil twin or something." Anubis nodded.
"Carter started to do it, initially," Anubis explained. Adam looked at him and Carter blushed even harder.
"Yeah, I did. What of it?" Carter asked with almost a childish air of defiance. "My girlfriend Zia dumped me and returned to Egypt–long story. I really hadn't explored much about myself sexually between my Dad's death and everything. So I went searching and found the streaming site. Decided to try jerking it on there–and found out I liked people watching. And I got tips, too. Started small but at the end of two months I made 2000."
"And that was right when Sadie and the two of us were on the rocks," Anubis confirmed. "Walt
…wasn't doing well. It was projected he was going to die. I had heard of a therapy that might help. But it was expensive and not guaranteed." Walt gripped Anubis' hand and used the other to rest on Carter's leg.
"...At the time, I thought the best thing to do was to prepare everybody for my death," Walt admitted softly. "I thought I was just going to get worse and I didn't trust the treatment. Sadie was apoplectic. She accused me of taking the easy way out. She was taking it hard, understandably."
"She probably thought you sounded suicidal," Adam put in. He didn't expect there was this much to it, but it gave him even more respect for Walt and his partners. This was some heavy shit and they were telling him. Like they trusted him and wanted him to know.
"She told me that," Anubis nodded. "I was more sympathetic towards what Walt was thinking. My parents…well, they worked in the death industry. I was familiar with grief and everything. I tried to explain to her, but she wasn't having it. It was then Carter that Carter asked about funding for the treatment."
"It was 30k, but you could start it if you could put down 6k and get on their payment program," Carter said, picking up the story. "I said I had 2k saved up and I was going to get to make more. Keep in mind, things were tight. So Anubis grilled me where I was getting it." Anubis huffed.
"Carter Kane, you are extremely self-sacrificing for your loved ones. I didn't want you getting into debt," Anubis said, but he kissed Carter gently. "I got it out of him…At first I wasn't sure. But he convinced me it was alright. And then asked if I would stream with him."
"He asked without thinking, I take it?" Adam asked. Anubis and Walt snorted and Carter looked indignant.
"Got me figured out, huh?" Carter asked with a huff but he didn't deny it. "At the same time I was realizing I was bi. A big part of me was hoping that another person streaming with me would make more money–working at a bookstore was barely helping out with bills. And part of it was because yes, I admitted to myself that Anubis was extremely hot."
Adam couldn't help but smile. That was a familiar story. He regretted that he only felt comfortable expressing it as teasing, but Eric was the same way for Adam. He was realizing his feelings for the flamboyant friend of Otis just as things were getting bad and that made him more reckless than usual, somehow. That ended in a very memorable blowjob in the band room.
But they couldn't read into his mind so they took it as him laughing at Carter's expense. Which ok, he was doing that, too. Anubis shrugged.
"My sexuality was never a problem for me. My problem was that this was Sadie's brother. I just broke up with her and now I was about to sleep with her brother, on camera no less." Anubis ran his hand through Carter's hair. "But I always knew he was attractive. And our streaming was successful. We got 10k and applied for the assistance. We convinced Walt to at least try it and told them we had begged for a partial grant." Walt looked exasperated at them.
"You basically told me I had no choice," Walt said. Carter kissed him.
"I couldn't not do anything. You could barely get out of bed and you were so miserable. I had to do something, anything," Carter told him firmly. "But the important thing is that you finally did. And within a month you were the best you had been in years. So Anubis and I kept streaming, and even collaborated with a guy in our area–"
"--I still watch those videos sometimes," Walt admitted with a laugh. "You guys were so hot with him."
"--And paid off the treatment in full," Anubis finished. "And you know the rest." Adam nodded. That made all the sense in the world.
"But how did Sadie find out? Did she walk in on you guys like Walt did?" Adam questioned. Walt winced and Carter shuddered.
"Thank God, no, but I almost wished she did," Carter said, looking at Anubis. For the first time since he met Anubis, the man looked sheepish.
"It's my fault," Anubis admitted. "We came out as partners about six months after we got Walt in on it. I lent Sadie a flashdrive – the entirely wrong one." Adam made a noise that was somewhere between a laugh and getting strangled
"You have her a flashdrive with a video of you fucking her brother and both her exes?" Adam asked.
"No. It was the master copy of our OnlyFans intro video," Walt told him. "We're not naked but we're in our underwear on a bed cuddling, talking about our plans for making porn. So she found out we were shooting porn."
"And she's not stupid. She figured out how the treatment got paid so quickly," Carter added.
"She was angry for so long because she thought I had cheated on her to keep Walt alive," said Anubis. "She felt conflicted because in her mind I had cheated on her, but to keep somebody alive."
Adam sat there for a moment. And he thought his life was complicated. Like he said, this was a story he expected either in porn or maybe those soap operas his mum would watch in the afternoons. Finally, he said what was first on his mind.
"Holy shit." The other three paused and broke out laughing, and Adam joined in. Eventually it died down and there was silence yet again. Mittens had bored of her ball and jumped up on Adam's lap to get him to pet her. He was really glad she wasn't afraid to get out and about in front of the others.
"We just didn't want you to feel uncomfortable," Walt eventually said. "You're obviously not homophobic. But living with gay porn stars…. That could feel like a lot, especially since you're living here for free." Adam paused. They thought he was a straight guy living with them. He was glad, for one, that they hadn't noticed him discretely checking them out. But on the other hand, here he was with three bi guys who wouldn't judge him. He never really talked with anybody, so he had no reason to out himself at work. His short-lived girlfriends knew, but their reactions ranged from supportive to dismissive. He took a breath and looked at Mitten's contented face.
"... I'm actually bi, too," he admitted to the cat. He dared to look at them and they looked as normal as you could look after being caught filming sex.
"Oh, guess I didn't know," Walt said with a shrug. "I'm glad you felt comfortable telling us. Obviously we don't care. Do you feel comfortable with us filming in here?" Adam looked at him in confusion. Carter got the wrong impression and immediately sprang into action.
"We didn't mean like in the living room!" he told Adam. "We're not trying to recruit you or anything. Just because you're bi doesn't mean that you automatically have to film with us or anything–" Anubis leaned over and gently placed his hand over Carter's mouth.
"Carter, sweetheart, perhaps you should let Adam speak for himself," Anubis said. He sounded fond and thoroughly amused by Carter's diarrhea of the mouth. Anubis then turned to Adam and nodded his head for the other to speak. Adam smiled his thanks.
"I don't care if you guys are porn stars or anything," Adam told them honestly. "Honestly, that's sorta cool. Sounds like a story to tell down the line, y'know? "Hey, do you remember when I lived with House of Life Studios in that luxury hotel for a bit? I think I still have some autographed stuff."" Walt cracked a smile and Carter did, too (he had removed Anubis' hand from his mouth).
"Is that your way of asking for an autograph?" Anubis asked teasingly. Adam felt a warmth settle in his gut.
"Maybe. London's expensive. Depends on how famous you guys are, but could be my ticket to finding a place," Adam joked. And damn he was actually managing some eye contact. Carter puffed out his chest.
"Top 1% on OF," he said cockily before they busted out in laughter again. Adam brushed his hand across Mitten's head again.
"It's your place. I don't care if you film at all. But if you don't want an audience you should probably wait until I'm out of the suite and Mittens is out of the room," Adam said once they died down again.
"I think that can be arranged," Anubis nodded, looking at his partners. They nodded and smiled at each other. Adam felt another swooping in his stomach. Even clothed they were just so attractive, and they made a great trio. Their chemistry was palpable and they were just fun to be around. Adam looked at the time again, being reminded of yesterday.
"I'm going to start getting ready for work," Adam told them. "The next two days are my weekend. If you need me out at all, just let me know and I can pop out to the bus stop."
"We won't film for a couple days anyway," Carter said with a shrug. "Tomorrow we're going shopping for some groceries – as much as we love room service we also like to cook. And we have a set schedule for videos and streams. If we can film while you're at work then we can have our own weekend." Adam felt a little funny at that. It was a roundabout way of telling Adam that yes, yes they would be fucking when he wasn't around. But he nodded and got up. But he felt Walt's hand on his arm.
"You play video games, right?" Walt asked him. Adam was confused but nodded.
"I have a switch," he confirmed.
"You should play with us tomorrow afternoon, after we're done with shopping!" Carter told him with a grin. "We're trying to teach Anubis how to play Minecraft. He's absolutely hopeless." Anubis frowned.
"I didn't grow up with video games, as you very will know," Anubis said. "And that game makes no sense sometimes. A wooden pickaxe would not make a dent in actual stone." Adam couldn't help but let out a snort which he quickly covered when Anubis looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Great. Now I see that I'm going to have 3 people trying to explain that blocky travesty to me," Anubis sighed. He didn't sound too put out to Adam. Adam smiled.
"It's a date then," he said before he could stop to think how that sounded. But none of the others seemed to think anything of it.
"Looking forward to it. Have fun on your shift, Adam," Walt said, letting go of his shoulder and getting to to stretch.
"Yeah, hope the rich assholes don't make your life hell!" Carter told him cheerfully.
"You know we might be considered rich assholes for getting a hotel to stay in for months instead of a flat," Anubis remarked dryly. Carter scoffed.
"No, we're actually good people," Carter said with a roll of his eyebrows. "Honestly, Anu, calling your partner an asshole when you're going to be playing tonsil hockey with him is so immature." He turned back to Carter. "Maybe you can get 2 chocolate cake here? One for Count Chocula over there and one for the rest of us." Anubis rolled his eyes and went to the hallway.
"Ignore anything that man says, Adam. He used a dying man as an excuse to get in my pants," Anubis called back as he went into the master bathroom. Walt shook his head and chuckled.
"Welcome to my life," he told Adam, spreading his arms.
Adam thought this was pretty great, himself.
It was a normal shift and yet Adam was having a more difficult time paying attention. He didn't realize that he was typing an email into the URL bar for a solid minute–not his brightest moment. Or how there was a lady with a ridiculously heavy French accent that checked in–usually it would have taken him 3 times to understand she was asking for a room but tonight it was taking 6 times.
How could he focus on the work in front of him when his roommates were shooting porn back in the suite?
He wasn't one of those pathetic guys who lusted after porn stars just because they got naked on camera. Sure, Adam pulled up some videos when he needed material for the spank bank. But he knew that a lot of it was acting and good camera work. Yet there was something about Walt, Anubis, and Carter that captured his attention. One, they were men. He usually pulled up straight porn. His attraction usually tended towards women…and again internalized homophobia and probably biphobia, if that was a thing. Second, there was no acting or clever editing you could do to fake the chemistry those three had. They obviously had known each other for a long time. They'd been through a lot and come out closer for it. Not only through the friendly teasing, but the easy affection and the way they moved together. Adam had to keep shaking his head when he was imagining the sight of Carter and Anubis kissing while Walt jerked them off. He didn't get to see anything too racy, but he had a good imagination.
He doubled his efforts to forget about that when one of the cleaning staff asked if he had an ear infection.
"You keep shaking your head," she explained when he asked her why she asked that.
Thankfully, there was enough to keep him busy after that. He had to get security on a fight in room 415 (honeymoon ruined by a cheater) and some very stoned guy had taken a gigantic shit in the pool filter.
The Saturday crew was going to have one hell of a time telling people that the pool was out of commission. Sucked to be them, in Adam's opinion.
5 AM arrived and he yawned as his replacement walked in. Janice was a nice woman of about 45 with two kids who worked weekends to help keep her family afloat. She was so maternal and friendly that she managed to keep most guests at ease–and if not she had the ability to make you feel like a guilty child with one look. Plus, she never made a big deal about Adam being in charge and being about half her age. Though her pantsuit, hair, and makeup were done to perfection, she looked how Adam felt from the other end.
"Morning, lovey. Long night?" She asked, getting behind the desk with him. She set a thermos down and suppressed a yawn.
"Nothing unusual. Somebody's getting divorced and somebody went number two in the pool," Adam remarked, shuffling the papers together on the desk. Janice sighed and shook her head.
"I don't know how I'm surprised," she remarked while she looked over the top paper, showing the guests they expected today. "At least it might be a slow morning, eh? Though I hope Lord and Lady Carlisle don't wish to swim today. It'll look like Charlie and the Chocolate factory." Adam smiled. Though he didn't really get beyond superficial with his coworkers, he did enjoy Janice.
"Yeah, it would," Adam agreed. He grabbed his phone and pocketed it with a yawn. "But everything's in place for you. I'm gonna get going. I'm knackered." He got from behind the desk and took out his keycard for the suite. Janice noticed it and arched an eyebrow.
"That's a roomcard? Did the promotion come with a free room or something?" She asked, looking at it and then looking up at Adam's face. Lying to her felt like lying to his own mother–if he had a healthy relationship with her, that is. But describing why he did made his face heat up and she gave a crooked little grin. Mothers knew best.
"Ah, I see." She lengthened that last word out and her tone went up suggestively. Adam swallowed and looked at the ground.
"Don't s'pose you're going to tell Eliza 'bout that?" He asked. Janice made a laugh that sounded like a goose honking.
"Tell that cow? Please," she told him as if that were ridiculous. "No, you enjoy yourself. I'm jealous. I've got a nice flat, but damn would I love a lie down on some of the mattresses here. By myself, but some company might be nice, mind you." Adam grinned.
"Never say never."
"Off with you before I complain about your cheek," she said, waving her hand as dismissal. He waved back and went to the suite. He was so exhausted he went straight in the room, pulled off his clothes, made sure Mittens was comfortable, and fell straight to sleep.
He woke up about noon with his stomach rumbling. He made sure Mittens had fresh water and made a note to himself to get one of those fountain water things for her once he got a new place. Now he wasn't paying rent for the time being, maybe his savings could stay solidly in 4 digits that didn't include the decimal point. He walked out into the kitchen and paused when he remembered he was just in his underwear. But there was a note on the counter in neat handwriting telling him that the three of them would be home around 4.
So he went into the app with a press of the keycard against his phone. He ordered room service and instructed them to just leave it at the door and knock–he didn't want to face a coworker in his boxers. When the knock came, he took his French toast, bacon, and hash browns and went to the couch.
It had been a while since he just truly relaxed like this. He didn't even feel the need to turn on the TV. He enjoyed the excellent food as he turned his sight out of the window. Though the garden and everywhere was mostly mud, there was a little green spattered here and there. Spring wasn't checked in, so to speak, but she was in the lobby. Even Mittens wanted to nature-watch. She came to the window and kept a steady eye on all of the birds going past the window. Adam didn't know her to hunt, but maybe one of these days he should take her outside to the garden and see what she did.
Once he was finished, he washed his dishes in the sink. He also grabbed some of the laundry bags and put some of his clothing in it to be done by the hotel staff. He could instruct a time for them to pick it up outside the door along with the plates. He was starting to see the appeal of this place as a guest. He would just have to make sure he stayed nice to his coworkers and didn't end up a rich asshole, even if only off the clock.
Once that was all finished, it was 12:45. He had some time to kill before any of them got home. He supposed he could grab his switch and see what the new updates on Minecraft involved. He hadn't played much recently and he was excited to play with the others. He had to be better than Anubis, who apparently didn't even grow up with video games.
But as he went into the hall to return to his room, he paused at the door closer to the kitchen. It was closed unlike yesterday, but it was getting Adam's attention. That's where the magic happened for them. Where for however long Adam stayed with them they'd be shooting videos and streaming whenever he was at work. He paused. That meant a little less than 24 hours ago they were in that very room, having sex. Three of the most attractive people that Adam had ever known, their bodies sweaty, stubble catching, hands roaming…And there he was again, lusting after them like a weirdo. But then again, they must have figured Adam might watch them. Walt expected Adam to Google them and didn't seem off put by the fact Adam might be watching.
And it couldn't hurt to at least check out the space while they weren't at home.
Adam opened the door slowly. Stupid, really, when they weren't even there. He turned on the other and looked around the room. He didn't know what he was expecting–he had been in there briefly yesterday. The bed was pushed to the wall adjoining Adam's room, perfectly in the center of the accent wall. The two bedside cabinets had been moved to the wall with the closet. The camera stands and ringlights had been pushed into a corner, with the latter plugged in to charge. There was also now a small desk and chair there with a laptop. A camera was plugged into it with a USB cord.
Adam swallowed hard. Talk about temptation on a silver platter right there. More than likely that was the camera they had used to film whatever they did yesterday and now had put the footage onto the computer.
He should really leave. He had seen his fill. He could just go to his room and crank one out so he could focus on being friendly with those guys who were sharing their suite with him. They were trying to be friends with him and he was being a horndog. Maybe he should pull up some porn and wank to a girl with huge tits that normally did it for him every time
Or maybe you don't need any of that porn a little voice in his mind told him. Maybe you just need to watch the porn that was filmed right here.
He hated himself for giving in so quickly. But as his father had criticized him for years, among everything else, Adam had no self-control.
He sat down in the chair and opened the laptop. He half expected it to be locked or have a password. But no, right to the desktop. It was the logo of HOL studios done in a neat art style that looked like it was carved and painted like it was on an Egyptian tomb wall. Adam could see the Egyptian theme was their thing. Made sense, with Carter's father being an archeologist and whatever the deal Anubis' parents had. No applications were opened, but it didn't take a genius to figure out what was frequently used. There were shortcuts to a few different webpages on the desktop: Twitter, OF, JFF, Gmail. There was another to a video editor. And finally, there was one showing a
a model name. Adam glanced at the camera and it showed the same brand as the camera's storage. That was what was on the camera. With hands slightly shaking with anticipation he moved the cursor over and double clicked.
A folder popped up. Going into it was a single video file. There wasn't a thumbnail but Adam clicked on it. There was the spinning wheel for a moment and then everything loaded. Adam's mouth went dry at the sight before him. Anubis, Walt, and Carter were on, much like earlier. They wore the same underwear and it was even better in the front. Adam couldn't focus on what Anubis was saying because his eyes were glued to the three bulges. Even soft they were incredibly well hung. Adam had been used to being the biggest when he was with guys. Even with his preference being on bottom, this was the case. But HOL Studios here seemed to have him beat in that department and something about it made his heart race.
"Let's show them what they have to look forward at that new studio," Walt said flirtatiously. He pulled Carter on top of him and started to lazily kiss him, moving their fronts against each other. Adam was hard as a rock as he watched the tent form in the front of their underwear. The fabric barely covered their erections, and they were definitely bigger than Adam.
Anubis wasn't content to stay on the sidelines. He reached a hand between them and started palming their dicks while sucking on Carter's neck. Adam made the same shaky sound as Carter did on the video. Adam spit into his hand and started to touch himself desperately.
This was probably the single hottest thing that Adam had ever witnessed. Carter and Walt got up to have a messy three way kiss with Anubis and that made Adam groan. Walt pushed Anubis down to the bed. He bent down to start licking and sucking on Anubis' nipples. Anubis rasped out and jutted his hips upward for any friction that he could possibly get. Walt's ass was now to the camera and Adam hungrily took in the sight of Walt's hairy crack in his white jock. Carter was admiring it as well because he got on his knees with his crotch level with Walt's perky butt. He then started thrusting his clothes erection between the furry cheeks.
Carter's gasps, Walt's moans, and Anubis' grunts filled Adam's senses. His hand was a blur in his pants and he was breathing hard. This was almost too much. There was nothing acted about this scene. No wonder they made so much fucking money. This was like he was watching them having sex with each other in their private life. Watching their giant cocks grind against the other and dark skin reflecting the light was sending Adam rocketing to the edge—and they hadn't even gotten fully naked.
Walt got up and turned around to Carter, straddling over Anubis' chest. Anubis started to slowly lick and suck over Walt's hole while Walt hungrily took Carter's mouth. There was so much going on it was hard to keep his attention on one thing. But then Walt reached into the front of Carter's pants and he was about to whip it out. Right at that moment, Adam felt a hand on his shoulder. He jumped a foot in that air and spun around.
Standing there were the clothed versions of the men still having sex on the video playing being him. Carter's mouth was a smirk and Anubis had a raised eyebrow.
Busted.
