Steam Heat
When Steven slipped out for a little late night relaxation in the college saunas, he never expected anyone else would have the same idea... Let alone a group of the most gorgeous jocks he'd ever seen. Will getting cornered by the muscled giants turn into a high school nightmare, or a dream come true?
Normally, I wouldn't set foot in the college gym complex. It was usually stuffed full of frat boys, sorority girls, and jocks, none of which were my kind of people. During the day ( and much of the night ), the place was a no-fly zone for a skunk like me, a pudgy comp-sci major with self-esteem issues. But this late at night, it was a different story. The place was all but deserted, just perfect for slipping in unnoticed.
I made my way into the main room through a side entrance, pausing to marvel at the enormity of the place. It always struck me just how wide open and well-lit it all was, like a man made cavern. The towering walls were painted in the school colors ( purple and white ) and the sleek stainless steel rafters overhead gleamed in the fluorescent light.
I wandered past rows upon rows of machines, only able to recognize a few. I couldn't begin to guess how to work the weight machines, and I didn't know a single barbell exercise. I was a nerd in high school, and an even bigger nerd in college ( with aspirations of going pro ), but I always admired the jocks as much as I feared them. The gym held a special kind of mystique for me, a temple where the muscled men went to worship the Gods of Testosterone.
As a skunk, my nose wasn't nearly as good as a dog's, but you didn't have to be a bloodhound to pick up the overwhelming scents that lingered in the air. The sticky-sweet smell of perspiration and deodorant, the alluring scent of male musk... My nose twitched with each machine and weight bench that I passed. Cheetahs, rabbits, and a few colts over by the treadmills, lions, tigers, and bears near the heavy stuff... Oh my.
I paused near an odd looking machine, a bench that was tilted back with a diamond plate up in the air where I guessed the legs would go. I could still smell the man that last used it, a roo, if I guessed correctly. I leaned over and eyed the weight it was set to and whistled. Bet he fucks like a jackhammer with legs like that. For a second, I imagined just that, being bent over by that studly roo and pounded in the middle of a gym full of men... _Rrrrr._I took a breath and continued on to the locker room, ignoring the budding stiffness I felt in my briefs.
I was relieved to find the locker room just as empty as the central room, and maybe just a bit disappointed. The only part of P.E. I liked in high school was checking out guys on the sly, and, well... Old habits die hard. Sometimes I'd pass a guy in the locker room and I couldn't help but take a peek. Maybe it was the risk of being caught, or maybe it was being so close to them, but whatever it was, it was way better than just looking at pics on the net! I made my way over to an empty locker and dropped my gym bag beside me on the floor. Gym bag, ha! I mostly just used it for trips to the laundry, but the wrinkled old duffel worked just fine.
I looked around me, listening for anyone that might be among the banks of lockers. I heard not a peep, not even a trickle from the showers.All clear. I peeled my baggy blue t-shirt off my chubby torso and tossed it into the open locker. I glanced around one more time before I grabbed the waist of my sweats and briefs, then tugged them down as well, exposing my chubby black bottom to the world. I curled my fluffy tail around my waist without thinking about it, using it as an impromptu towel. I never liked being naked in public, not even when I was alone, so I hurried to shove everything into the locker. I grabbed a white towel from my bag, wrapped it high and tight around my plump hips, and away I went.
It was a short walk past the showers to the hallway where the saunas were, one on each side of the hall itself. They were located between the locker room's central area and the swimming pool entrance, and marked 'A' and 'B' in large purple block print. I peered into them both through the foggy windows on their doors, saw they were empty, and eased into the one on my right.
Thank God, I thought, groaning as the wispy clouds of steam enveloped my plump body. I wasn't the kind of guy to like a good sweat, but I loved_taking short trips to the sauna. They were just the thing to relax the back and shoulders of a stocky nerd that sat around all day. I stumbled across the room as the tension bled from my body like water off a duck's back. My fluffy tail wilted as it took in moisture from the air. I was so relaxed I let my towel split open across my thighs as I sat down, exposing my goods to the hot, humid air. The radiant heat was nothing short of splendid on my nuts, and it felt just as nice on the half-mast piece of skunk meat jutting up from my lap. _Maybe a quick jerk, I thought, my hand straying down across my black and white thigh. Not like anyone's ever here at-
My train of thought was derailed by a metallic bang that rang out down the hallway. I sat up and shut my towel in a hurry, cursing under my breath while straining my ears to hear something more, as if I could will myself into better hearing. There were more bangs and clangs, but nothing as loud as the first. Lockers, I realized. Then came the muted reverberations of talking and laughing filtering through the brick walls. It seemed that tonight, the gym wasn't so deserted.
"I can't believe she fuckin' blew me off again," came a deep voice.
"I'm telling you man, she just ain't into you. You think she'd keep making excuses if she wanted to see you? It's bullshit. Stop wasting your time." This stranger's voice wasn't as deep as the first, but no soprano himself.
"He's right you know. Besides, you can do better. I know this girl, Gina, man... She's a big one, but she's got a thing for orcas, and I'm telling you man, she'd be all over you." Someone said something I didn't quite catch after that, but it must have been a joke, because everyone laughed. Whoever the mystery group was, they were getting closer.
"Ha-fuckin' ha," the first voice said as it's owner pushed open the sauna door.Oh fuck was all I could think as he came in. He was an orca, and easily six foot six, bristling with the kind of muscle I only saw on dirty websites and MMO characters. His pounds of cut muscles were wrapped in sleek black and white skin that glistened when they caught the light. My eyes drank him in, dragging across his chest, then straight down across his perfect six-pack. My gaze strayed further still, and I was rewarded with a glimpse beyond the sagging waist of the orca's towel. Just a glance at his girthy black cock was all it took to get my heart pounding.
I realized I was staring and hurried to look up at him, meeting his blue eyes. He grunted and nodded, and I nodded back, trying not to think about the erection I felt growing beneath my towel. I could only look on in shock and awe at the parade of man-meat that came pouring in behind him. I didn't know if they were part of an athletic team or a gaggle of Greek Gods that had escaped from the Pantheon- Didn't care, either.
The first one in after the orca was a Clydesdale that was every bit his equal. His flowing brown mane made me think of Conan, and with his broad chestnut and white chest, he could damn well play the part. He paid me no mind, slapping the man behind him on the shoulder- A white rabbit flanked by a fox of about the same height and build. They were significantly shorter than the first two men, and not as bulky, but they were still fit and tall enough to put me to shame!
All of them largely ignored me... Except the damned rabbit. Maybe he caught me looking at him and his friends, or maybe he had it in for skunks. Whatever the reason, he stopped and looked me over, his oak brown eyes lingering on my chubby white tummy... Or so I hoped. I wasn't sure how hard I was, but I knew how hard I was gonna get! I just hoped I wasn't showing through my towel. I braced myself. Here it comes. Maybe he'd tell a fat joke to get some laughs, or maybe a gay joke if he'd caught me leering at his friends. I met the buck's gaze, challenging him, daring him to say one word. Do it asshole, I thought. As his friends settled in all around the room, he headed right for me.
"You like what you see?" He churred, confident and mischievous. Guess he decided to go with the gay jokes, I growled in my mind. The buff bunny walked up to me, his towel slung perilously low across his washboard stomach. The tapered 'V' that rose up from his crotch and arced to his slim hips teased my eyes downwards, but I resisted looking. Barely. I was interrupted before I could shoot back some weapons grade snark.
"Oh fuck," the orca said. "What is it with you, man? No wonder you fucked Gina." Huh? The orca jerked his head at me, drawing my eyes to him. "I wouldn't stand up if I were you. Josh tries to fuck anything with a pulse and twenty extra pounds." Wait, what?
"Real nice John," Josh replied with a roll of his pretty eyes, making a jerk-off motion at the orca. "Sorry buddy, I don't take sex tips from a guy that hasn't gotten laid in a month." John grunted, the others laughed. I sat up straight as the buck turned his eyes back to me. He said down beside me, his hip brushing mine. My heart lurched in my chest. We sat shoulder to shoulder, eye to eye, his muzzle split in a funny little smile. "He's right, you know... I love a big, cuddly guy." His lidded eyes shot a glance down across my round tummy, then back up at me. "I haven't seen you before. I'm Josh."
"S-Stephen," I stammered back, my mind reeling.
"I think he likes you, Josh," the Clydesdale teased from the corner near the door, a sly smirk on his rugged face. His eyes were on us,everyone's were. I'd never before felt so keenly aware of people watching me, but then again, I'd never had a guy flirt with me in front of a group of strangers, either! I took a deep breath and caught a whiff of Josh's scent. It was lapine and masculine, sweaty, and touched with a hint of some piney cologne.
"Oh, I know he likes me," Josh replied. He leaned in across my body and braced himself by planting a paw on my thigh. By accident or by design, he caught my dick with his palm and pressed it against my chubby leg. I couldn't help it. Even if I had been underwater I wouldn't have been able to hold in the moan that followed. My throaty cry of elation sounded far louder than it was in the small, enclosed room, but it was hard to feel too embarrassed when a handsome twink was groping at your cock. He pressed it down against my leg, trapping my pulsing shaft between his warm palm and the soft white fur that lined my thighs. Like was not a strong enough word for what I felt at that moment.
"Damn dude, you move fast!" The fox remarked with a laugh and a grin.
"Coming from fox, that's a real compliment, Terry." Josh didn't even look away as he spoke, his lidded eyes staring me down the whole time. His fingers slid down the length of my cock and caught the head in between where his fingers met his palm, then squeezed. My cock jumped, I moaned, and it felt like the steamy room up and did a 360. I fumbled blindly for his paw, not knowing if I wanted to take it away, or squeeze it even harder. When I touched him, the rabbit leaned in close and nipped the edge of my ear, pulling on it with his big bunny teeth.
"Don't worry about them," he whispered, filling my ear with hot, breathy vapor. "They're all 'straight', even the fox... But I've caught every one of them looking when I've hooked up in the locker room before." Before? I swallowed. He puts on shows for his straight friends?! He rolled his short tongue up the inner edge of my ear, and I trembled against him. "Maybe this time I'll get them to join in."
I couldn't say no, and I didn't have time, even if I wanted to. The bunny drew his hand back, then threw my towel open and exposed my wide, stubby cock to the eyes of all his friends. I was a hair above average at best, and in a room full of men like this, I half expected someone to laugh... But nothing came. No jokes, no jabs, not a damn thing. I wanted to look and see if they were watching me, watching us, but I couldn't bear to open my eyes.
"You have a nice dick," the rabbit whispered in my ear as his fingers fell around it. "It's just like you, nice and plump." He took hold of me and dragged his fingers down to my root in one smooth motion, pressing the flat of his palm against that spot between my cock and balls. I choked out a gasp and squirmed in his grip, vaguely aware of the pearly white fluid dripping from my cock head.
He put an arm around my body and tilted me, coaxing me back. I fell into the crook of his arm without thinking, my head resting against his shoulder. A guy was jerking me off in a room full of his friends, his_straight_friends, and I all I could do was lean against him and moan! I felt an undeniable sense of shame, but also a queer sense of disbelief. I kept telling myself I was going to wake up at any moment and find myself face down at the keyboard, _again,_so... Why not enjoy the ride?
"Touch me," he whispered, pumping his fist up and down, nice and slow, smearing it with my own pre. I cracked open my eyes to look up at him, and when I saw the lust blazing within, I knew that every compliment had been sincere. I looked away, my eyes drawn to his white, lissome body. I reached down to his thin waist and picked open his towel, revealing a long piece of rabbit meat that was just as hard as I was. I was too fucking turned on to feel inadequate.
Time held still while I reached out and took him in my paw, gripping him just behind his mushroom head. My mouth went dry as I dragged my fingertips down his shaft, tracing across the thicker veins that I felt. He moaned into my ear just like I had for him, rocking his hips into my paw. I bucked against his paw in turn, squirming next to him.
He grabbed the fur on the back of my head and yanked, forcing me to look up, and locked his short muzzle to mine. A kiss, and a damned good one at that! His tongue pushed down into my mouth and I raced to touch it with mine. We matched each other's rhythm as we made out, moaning together whenever our lips parted, never for long. After a precious few minutes of ferocious kisses and jacking each other off, the panting bunny pulled his lips away and stared down into my eyes.
"I'm close," Josh sighed out. So am I, I thought. I was amazed I hadn't come yet... Not would take much more. But his paw stopped, and with it, so did that sweet, sticky friction. "You wanna take it in your mouth?" My paw jerked to a halt and I stared up at him, mouth agape. _Yes,_I thought, picturing that perfect cock and those big, bunny balls. I was about to blow a guy in a room full of strangers, and all I could think about was how long it had been since I'd last had a salty load in my muzzle.
"Yes," I whispered, my voice so hoarse and quiet that I was afraid he hadn't heard me. He let me go, and I slid away from him, trying not to think of the other men looking at me as I turned my striped back on them. I fell to my knees in front of the rabbit as he spread this long legs to the side and put his paw on my head, scritching behind one of my ears.
"Chubby boys like you are so eager, and so damn_cute_ when you blush." Josh said. _Chubby as a compliment, huh? Guess there's a first time for everything..._I flashed him a coy smile and reached up, grabbing his dick. It looked even bigger now that I was staring up at it. The smell of rabbit filled my nose with every breath. His eyes blazed, staring down at my lips as I popped my muzzle open and leaned in, swallowing up the first few inches of his shaft. My tongue was met with the tang of sweat and pre, but he wasn't nearly as salty and sour as some of the boys I'd had before.
"Fuck yes," he breathed, bucking into my muzzle. His paw pushed my head down into his thrusts and pulled back again when he withdrew, guiding me. I eagerly bobbed my head up and down as he fucked my muzzle, drool spilling from the corners of my mouth. For the first time in my life, I was feeling glad a guy wasn't any bigger! There was nothing but him, me, and those beautiful brown eyes of his... Until I felt a paw on my shoulder. It was John!
"If this chubby cocksucker is as good as you're making him sound," John growled. "Then maybe he should try usin' his lips on a real dick." My heart sank into my stomach as I glanced at him over my right shoulder, and found myself staring down an immense length of a big, black, dripping orca cock. If it were any other day, a guy calling me a 'chubby cocksucker' would have gotten a kick in the nuts... Or a mean glare, at least. But when I looked at him, all I could think was_please stuff that monster in my mouth!_
As if he were reading my thoughts, he batted the rabbit's paw off my head and grabbed a handful of my hair. It hurt, but I didn't care. Josh's shaft came free of my muzzle with a wet pop as John tugged me off it. He twisted me around to face him, and I scrambled to oblige, my knees sliding across the damp wood floor. I fumbled for the 'straight' guy's cock as he forced my lips down across the drooling head of his cock, wedging my jaw wide open. I was so dizzy I'd have fallen over if he wasn't holding my head up. Maybe it was the heat, or maybe I hadn't been breathing enough when I was sucking off his friend.
I ran my hands down the full length of the orca's throbbing spire, marveling at the size of it. It was so damn big I couldn't close my thumb and forefinger around it, and already a dull ache had begun to form in my jaw. It only got worse as he plowed into my throat, leaving behind a copious trail of slick, salty pre. If he wasn't so damn leaky, I doubt I'd have been able to take him as far as I did.
I fought back my gag reflex as I reached the halfway mark, staring up at his rippling abs. I'd never been with an orca, or a guy this big, but fuck it. A chance like this only came along once in a lifetime for a guy like me, and I was determined to show this asshole just what a 'chubby cocksucker' could do.
"Holy shit," the horse murmured as I grabbed the orca's hips and dug my nails in, using them as leverage to pull myself down onto his dick. My eyes teared up, the pain flared in my jaw, but I kept going. I didn't stop until I'd taken every inch of the cocky straight boy, and I wasn't letting go until I had what _I_wanted.
I was dimly aware of someone moving behind me, but all I could see was the wall of white and black skin before me. John's hand trembled against the back of my head and pushed me even further, until my muzzle was indented in his rubbery flesh and my chin was resting against his hefty balls. My chest burned from a lack of air, but oxygen didn't seem nearly as important as making that big orca boy come in my mouth.
Two strong paws grabbed hold of my full, pliant bottom and lifted it up, guiding it back. I complied without thinking, moving on autopilot as I concentrated on grinding my tongue on the bottom of the orca's cock. I swept my hands down to his rock hard ass, rubbing my palms against the dimples that I felt. His butt flexed each time he rocked against my lips, and I swear I'd have smiled if my lips weren't busy. I wondered what it would be like to push him down and pound that perfect ass wide open, but I doubted I'd get the chance.
"If he bites my cock, I'm gonna kick your ass," John said. His words were threatening, but the tone was off, almost... Needy._For the first time, I looked up and found him staring down at me with hunger in his eyes. _I had him, I realized with a swell of pride. There was no way he was walking away now, not until he came. Whoever Gina was, I was damn glad she left the orca all pent up!
"Easy boy," Josh whispered from behind. My ears twitched, but everything was way too hazy in my lust filled mind for me to realize what was coming next... Until I felt the slick, warm head of the rabbit's cock grind across my taint. "I love big, fat boys," he salaciously murmured in my ear as his shaft fell into place. "And I love big, fat asses," he growled as he tugged my hips back, impaling me on his shaft.
Holy shit. The orca's girthy shaft came free of my throat as I fell backward, allowing me to breathe, allowing me to groan. Josh rammed his meat into my ass like he owned it, stretching me open, giving me no time to adjust. It was going to hurt tomorrow, but it felt pretty good right now! As good as it felt to have him inside me, I forced myself to return my focus back to the man in my mouth. My shaking hands slid from John's beefy hips to the spit soaked dick half-wedged in my muzzle. I stacked my paws one after another on his cock and squeezed as hard as I could, pistoning them up and down what wasn't stuffed into my face.
Josh pounded into my ass like a rabbit possessed, his claws biting into my rump. His hips hit mine hard enough to make my ass ripple and jiggle against his thighs. My tail thrashed, smacking him across the muzzle by accident. He didn't care. Fuck_,_neither did I. He hammered my ass with short, rapid bucks, pummeling my hole over and over. Every time he pushed up, John pushed down, powering through my hands and spearing down into my raw, gasping throat. I felt the tingling tension gathering in my swaying balls and I knew it wouldn't be long until I came.
A loud, grunting moan cut through the air as John grabbed my head in both hands and stabbed into my muzzle with all his might. My eyes bugged and I choked out of reflex, my throat spasming around the orca meat lodged deep inside it. The weight of his thrust pushed me back into Josh's lap, and he gasped in orgasmic surprise.
Warm, sticky heat flowed into me from above and below as both of them emptied their nuts into me. Josh's hot load gushed into my rear, his hips bouncing against my fat ass. John didn't thrust or move an inch, he just held my head buried between his thighs as he let it all go. He was like no man I'd ever blown before. It didn't feel like there was any lull in the torrent of cum flowing down my throat, not even for half a second. It was as if he came in one long shot, and he was so far in I had no choice but to swallow it all.
I lost track of time, barely aware of myself, not thinking of anything beyond the two powerful men spearing my body from both sides. I was swept away in the raw ecstasy of the moment, in the scent of them, in the unadulterated filthiness of it all. I knew I would be fantasizing about this moment for years, and my mind hung upon each second. Nothing else mattered, not the others, not the pain that I felt, not even the faint blackness closing in from the corners of my eyes.
"Damn," a voice whispered. Was it John? Was it the horse? I couldn't tell. The darkness grew in the outskirts of my vision, and I knew I was nearly blacking out when John finally pulled back, spattering my chin with the remnants of his orgasm. I choked for air and swallowed the orca cum on my tongue, way saltier than Josh. I went limp against the bunny behind me, and Josh wrapped his arms around my belly, pulling me in against him.
"I think you guys broke him," someone said. I couldn't tell who. Josh laughed in my ear.
"Broke? Shit, I bet he loved every minute." The men laughed as I sat there in the bunny's lap, his dick still rock hard and buried in my ass. I dimly felt across my own stomach for his hand and found it dripping with cum, my cum, I realized absentmindedly. Somewhere in the back of my head, I wondered how I was going to make it back to my dorm in this state, but I didn't care. Fuck it. They could leave me on the floor in a pool of cum for someone to find in the morning, and it would still be the best night of my collegiate life. I opened my eyes and saw the retreating form of the orca's body, his dick dripping wet, his beautiful skin shining with sweat and steam.
I found the fox and the horse on the far side of the sauna, their towels open. Sometime during my little show the 'straight' boys had taken out their dicks and started jacking off. A surge of pride went through me as I saw the way they looked at me, their eyes blazing with desire. The head of the stallion's hefty, molted shaft had begun to flare, and the fox's shaft was swollen and red at the base. I stared at their gorgeous bodies, and they stared back, moaning underneath their breath.
"C-Come here," I blurted out, knowing I'd never get another opportunity like this. The rabbit's friends didn't need much convincing. The two straight boys stood up and stumbled across the room to us, their hands pumping up and down their leaky dicks. Josh shivered against me from behind, his arms squeezing me as if to say 'Thank you'. He slipped his arms up and under mine in the world's gentlest Nelson and held me up for them as his friends closed in, standing side by side.
The horse had a dick that was thicker than my wrist at the flare,thicker than John's, and it wasn't much thinner beyond that. His brown nuts were the size of oranges, or at least some damn big tangerines. He threw off such a potent smell that it blotted out all the others, earthy, virile, and unmistakably equine. My throat was raw and my jaw was screaming from the face fucking I'd just received, but I didn't care. I pulled against the rabbit's grasp and popped open my muzzle once more, wrapping my cum stained lips around the stallion's flare.
He whinnied in surprise and threw his head back, his brutish body wracked by a sudden influx of pleasure. The painful ache in my jaw became a steady throb. Part of me wondered how I'd ever explain something like this to the college clinic if something got hurt, but I had bigger concerns. The horse's flare grew in my suckling muzzle, filling it with a never ending stream of viscous, salty stuff that I drank without pause. It burned on it's way down my raw throat, but this was the first time I'd ever had a stallion in my muzzle, and I wasn't letting go come hell or high water.
"You're taking too fuckin' long, Holt," the fox growled, the tip of his bobbing shaft slapping me in the side of the muzzle.
"Fuck you, Terry, wait," the stallion grunted back, his eyes fixated on me as I slathered the broad head of his cock with the tip of my tongue. I could see it in his face that he didn't need much more to hit the edge, so I gave the horse just what he needed. I sank his dick just a little further into my mouth, taking just enough that my nursing lips swallowed up his entire flare. It hurt to take the whole thing, but it was worth it just to see the rippling wave of pleasure that shot across his handsome face.
I'd thought that John had cum like a fire hose, but Holt gave the orca a run for his money. His dick jumped against the roof of my mouth, and I barely had time to think here it comes before a gout of hot horse cum spattered across the back of my throat. I managed to get it down with a choking swallow, but Josh pulled my body back against his, yanking my muzzle off the horse's prick just in time for the second to catch me across the cheek.
Holt's excited whinnies pieced the steamy air as he furiously jacked himself off, spraying Josh and me down with a full load of horse jizz, and what a load it was! Josh leaned against my shoulder and I _swear_I heard him pop open his muzzle, eager to catch every drop that he could. I couldn't blame him. My own mouth hung open as I panted for air, my tongue lolled out to one side. I wasn't _trying_to catch any of it, but when a horse goes off in your face, you don't really have to try! Maybe it was the sight of it all, or maybe he just didn't have as much stamina as Holt did. Whatever it was, Terry came long before Holt had finished. The two straight boys painted me from both sides, soaking my face with a blend of equine and vulpine cum. I shamelessly swallowed as much of it as I could, but most of it ended up in my fur, matting it down with their sticky loads.
"Goddamn it Holt," Terry sighed out. He sounded just as spent as I felt. Holt just chuckled and shook his head, his damp mane tossing from side to side. The equine's massive shaft had already begun to go limp, drooping down between his thighs I could hear the fat globs of cum that fell from the broad tip, spattering all over the already filthy floor.
"If every chub you chase is that hungry for dick, then I know why you do it, Josh," Holt said. He met my eyes as he walked over to his towel, smirking at the sight of his handiwork. I swear I could feel the weight of all the cum on my face. I don't know how more of it didn't get into my eyes, but the smell of it made my head spin with every breath. Orca, horse, vulpine... Fuck, the scents were so thick I couldn't even smell the rabbit right behind me!
"Not all of them," Josh said with a boyish laugh. "Just the good ones." He gave my ass a playful slap, then slowly eased back, drawing me up and off his length. I gasped as he came free of me, my cock twitching against my leg. His cum came rushing out of me and oozed down across my balls as I slumped forward and out of his lap, collapsing to the floor. To his credit, he lowered me down nice and easy instead of letting me face plant into the puddle of cum on the floor. "You gonna be OK, man?"
"Yeah," I answered, laying there in a sore, boneless heap. Not even the pain radiating from my jaw and the burning that lingered in my throat could spoil the bliss that I felt. Three straight boys and one bi-guy, I'll never top that. I didn't look up as they left, couldn't, not even if I'd wanted to, not that it mattered. Even if I never saw them again, I'd have the memory of this night in my mind until the day I died... It was just too bad that nobody would _ever_believe the story.
