Eight Men Were Waiting on the Other Side of That Door

Adrián had been circling the subject for weeks. I sensed it before he even opened his mouth that night, while we lay in the dark and his hand lazily traced the outline of my hip without quite going anywhere, that gesture he made when there was something on his mind that he still didn’t know how to say.

—I want to see you with other men —he whispered at last, as if setting down a weight he’d been carrying for too long.

It wasn’t the first time he’d brought it up. The first time he said it cautiously, like someone testing the ground before putting all his weight on it. After that he kept repeating it with more confidence, at strategically chosen moments: just after sex, during a long after-dinner conversation, once even while we were showering and the steam made everything blurrier and less real. He knew when to strike.

—I don’t know —I replied. It was true. I didn’t know. The idea stirred something in me that was hard to classify: it wasn’t disgust, nor was it desire, but a kind of vertigo that left me exactly on the edge between the two.

—What’s holding you back? —he asked, without moving away from me.

—Everything. Nothing. I don’t know, Adrián.

That first conversation went nowhere. Nor did the next two. But he was patient—or at least he knew how to pretend well—and he kept bringing it up at calculated intervals, without pushing too hard, letting each conversation sediment something in me that I couldn’t quite recognize as desire but that wasn’t indifference either.

What held me back wasn’t the fantasy itself. It was everything around it: who, how, the logistics, the real possibility that the anticipated kink wouldn’t survive contact with reality. There was a huge difference between contemplating an idea in the abstract and carrying it out in a room with flesh-and-blood people.

—If you could sort out those loose ends —I told him one night, and I regretted it the moment the sentence was out, because I knew I had just opened a door he already had his hand on the knob of.

—Give me time —he replied. And what I saw in his eyes wasn’t euphoria but focus.

***

Four weeks passed. One Sunday afternoon, on the way to the supermarket, he told me he’d found something. Not just any place: a private club two hours from where we lived, with strict protocols. Mandatory clinical tests within the twenty-four hours before the encounter, signed consent forms, identity verification. The space reserved exclusively for us for two hours. The participants selected and approved by the club itself according to a profile he had given them.

—How many? —I asked, my eyes on the road.

—Six men, besides me. Seven in total.

—Seven —I repeated.

I didn’t say anything else for several kilometers. Adrián didn’t either. The radio filled the silence with something neither of us was listening to.

That same night, lying on the sofa with my feet in his lap as we usually did, I realized I had already made a decision even though I still couldn’t bring myself to say it aloud. I noticed it when I stopped feeling the knot in my stomach that had been with me all week. It wasn’t acceptance exactly. It was something closer to the relief of no longer fighting something that had already been decided.

I pressed the sole of my foot against him and felt him respond at once.

—Yes —I said, without looking at him.

—Yes? —he repeated, his voice slightly altered.

—Yes. We’ll go.

He went still for a moment. He wrapped his fingers around my ankle and exhaled slowly, as if he’d been holding his breath for weeks. He began massaging the arch of my foot with his thumb, a slow, deliberate motion he knew perfectly. I let him. I closed my eyes. I felt his cock grow hard against my heel, already stiff beneath his trousers, and instead of pulling away I dragged my foot over it, measuring it with my sole until he let out a low moan. I unzipped him awkwardly with my other foot, until he took himself out, and he jerked off with my heel while holding my ankle. He came over the top of my foot without a word, eyes closed and jaw tight, already imagining Saturday’s room.

When I asked for the date, he gave it to me without beating around the bush: Saturday. At eleven at night at the venue, reserved room from midnight to two in the morning.

—This Saturday? —I said.

—This Saturday.

There was something almost comic in the contrast between the enormity of what we were planning and the normality with which he said it, as if he were confirming a reservation at an ordinary restaurant.

***

I lived through the following days in a strange state. A dull anticipation that settled somewhere between my stomach and my chest and never left. I had doubts. Many. I thought about canceling at least three times. I imagined sending the message, canceling the reservation, going back to routine with the excuse that it simply hadn’t seemed like a good idea. But every time I got to that point, something stopped me. It wasn’t fear of disappointing Adrián. It was something else, more mine, that still didn’t have a clear name.

On Friday night I barely slept. I got up twice. I sat in the dark kitchen with a glass of cold water and devoted myself to imagining the different possible scenarios, all of them absurdly detailed, none of them useful. I went back to bed. Adrián slept with a calm that I found vaguely irritating.

I spent Saturday doing concrete, unimportant things. I went to the market. I ironed clothes that didn’t need ironing. I read for an hour without retaining a single sentence. At six I showered slowly and chose what I would wear with more care than I was willing to admit out loud.

Adrián looked at me when I came out of the bathroom and said nothing. There was no need.

***

The drive was silent. Not because there was tension between us, but because neither of us had anything to say that hadn’t already been said, and the words we might have spoken were too large to fit inside the car. Adrián drove with one hand on the wheel and the other resting near my knee, never quite touching it.

—How are you feeling? —he asked at some point on the highway.

—Strange —I answered honestly—. But good.

—Me too —he admitted.

For some reason, that relieved me more than anything else he could have said.

We arrived with plenty of time to spare. We had dinner at a nearby bar that smelled of old wood and fried food, shared a bottle of red wine we didn’t finish, and talked about completely banal things: a series we still had to watch, whether the car needed servicing, plans for the following month. It was absurd and also necessary. The ordinary as an anchor when everything else is moving.

The club had no sign outside. Just a black lacquered metal door and a discreet intercom at hand height. They let us in without saying a word. Inside it smelled of dark wood and something vaguely herbal that I guessed was designer air freshener. The music was low, almost inaudible, the kind of music that exists to fill silence without claiming it.

We were greeted by a middle-aged woman with her hair pulled into a low bun and a tablet in her hand. She verified our details, told us the room number, and escorted us to a private waiting area where the other seven were already there.

***

This was the first thing I thought when I saw them: they’re normal people. Different ages, different body types. None of them tried to seem intimidating or seductive. They talked among themselves in small groups, drinks in hand, with that slight shared awkwardness of people who know exactly why they’re there but haven’t reached the moment yet.

One of them, about forty, with a short beard and receding temples, introduced himself with an outstretched hand and a smile that wasn’t after anything in particular. The others followed his example, one by one, with names I didn’t retain completely because that wasn’t what I could focus on.

We spent twenty minutes talking about nothing in particular. Long enough for them to stop being abstract figures and become people with specific voices and gestures. Long enough for my shoulders to drop a little. Adrián spoke more than I did, which he appreciated without realizing it. I listened, nodded, smiled at the right moments. Inside me, something was slowly settling into order.

When midnight arrived, the woman with the tablet returned and explained the protocol with a professional calm that helped me more than I’d expected. I would go in alone first. Make myself comfortable. When I was ready, I would press the wall switch. Only then would they come in.

—Take as much time as you need —she said, as if that were the most normal thing in the world.

***

The room was large. Dim light, pleasant temperature, thick cream-colored carpet on the floor. A low, wide bed in the center, firm mattress, perfectly smoothed white sheets. Cushions arranged around the floor. A small table with water, towels folded with geometric precision, and a small bowl with products I preferred not to inspect too closely.

I stood in the doorway for a few seconds, looking at the empty room.

I can leave through the way I came in, I thought. Right now, if I want to, I can turn around and none of them would say a word. This has no obligation other than the one I’ve put on myself.

But I didn’t want to. Or not completely. What I was feeling at that moment was too complex to reduce to wanting or not wanting. It was fear, yes. And anticipation. And something like the strange pride of having made it there, of having taken a decision that three months earlier would have seemed impossible.

I closed the door behind me.

I undressed slowly, calmly, folding my clothes over the chair by the wall. I kept only the underwear I had on underneath, a black set I had chosen that morning with an intention I now recognized without needing to pretend otherwise. I tied my hair back with the elastic on my wrist to clear my face and neck.

I moved to the center of the room and stood beside the edge of the bed. I took a deep breath. Once. Twice.

I pressed the switch.

***

First I felt the change in air pressure, that subtle shift that comes before movement. Then the metallic sound of the door opening. Then footsteps: the specific noise of several bodies moving at the same time over a soft surface.

They came in one by one and the space transformed. What had been a spacious room contracted as bodies occupied it, changing the temperature, the density of the air, the scale of everything else. The heat they gave off was almost physical, something tangible that arrived before anyone even got close.

They formed a circle around me almost naturally, without anyone giving an instruction. Adrián was the last to enter. He crossed the room without hurry and stopped to my left, at a distance that was at once close and respectful.

He looked for me before looking at anything else.

I looked at him.

At that moment, surrounded by eight men in a room that I had chosen every step that led me there, I felt the weeks of vertigo dissolve into something simpler and clearer. It wasn’t courage or surrender or any of those big words. It was simply being present in what was happening, without fleeing backward or forward.

I lifted my gaze to Adrián one last time.

—Good —I said softly.

And it began.

The first hands reached me from behind. Warm fingers at my waist, sliding over the curve of my hips before moving up to the clasps of my bra. Others appeared in front, on my thighs, on my belly, all at once, measuring me, learning the topography of my body before deciding where to enter. The bra gave way and fell to the floor. Someone—I think it was the one with the short beard—took my breasts in both hands and squeezed them slowly, teasing my nipples between thumb and forefinger until they hardened like stones. Another mouth latched onto the other nipple from behind, sucking and biting with an insistence that tore the first moan out of me that night.

I felt a tongue on my shoulder, another moving down my neck. Hands slipping under the elastic of my panties, fingers searching between my legs to check how wet I already was from that alone. Someone checked and gave a low approving laugh against my ear.

—Look at how wet she is —he said to another—. Soaked through.

They pulled my panties down to my ankles. I lifted one foot, then the other, and I stood naked among the eight of them. Adrián hadn’t moved. He watched from where he was, breathing already altered even though he hadn’t touched me yet, his cock outlined under his trousers. He searched for my eyes and didn’t look away.

They knelt me gently onto the carpet. In front of me there were already two cocks out, hard, shiny at the tip. I raised my right hand and took one. With my left I took the other. I started jerking them off at the same time, feeling the weight, the texture, the taut skin over swollen glans, a trickle of pre-cum running down the thicker one.

I opened my mouth and took the first one as far as I could. It was thick, with a salty taste at the tip. I closed my lips around the head and started sucking it, first just the head, circling it with my tongue underneath until I heard its owner exhale sharply. Then I took it deeper, until I felt it against the back of my throat. I gagged a little. I pulled it out, spat on it, and took it back in using my hand and mouth together, drawing it out glossy with saliva.

I switched to the other one without letting go of the first. I sucked one while I stroked the other, then switched. Another cock appeared from the side, and then another. They had formed a semicircle in front of me and I kept moving my mouth from one to the next, sucking each one, memorizing them by taste, by thickness, by how their owner reacted when I dragged my tongue just under the frenulum.

Someone grabbed my hair from behind. Not violently: firmly. He guided my head toward one specific cock, the thickest so far, and pushed it all the way in. I felt tears rise. He pulled it out. Pushed it back in. He started fucking my mouth slowly, setting the rhythm with his hand in my hair, and I let him, my jaw open, saliva running down my chin and onto my breasts.

Meanwhile, two hands had spread my knees apart from behind and fingers slid into my cunt. The wet sound was so clear it could be heard over everyone’s breathing. The owner of the fingers—I didn’t know which one it was—began rubbing my clit with his thumb while he pushed two fingers deep inside and curled them upward, touching me exactly where I needed to be touched.

I came with my mouth full. It was fast, almost violent, a spasm that shook my legs and forced me to grab the thigh of the man in front of me so I wouldn’t topple forward. I didn’t stop sucking while I came. On the contrary: I sucked harder, moaned around the cock in my mouth, and felt the man with his fingers inside me laugh softly behind me.

—The first one —someone murmured.

Several of them lifted me and laid me on the bed. On my back, legs apart, the skin of my back touching the cold sheets for the first time. One climbed on top of me immediately, positioned himself between my thighs, and without asking anything shoved his cock into me in a single thrust. I screamed. Not from pain: from the exact surprise of being filled like that, all at once, without transition.

He started fucking me hard, with long thrusts that made me rise up off the sheets. Another man sat astride my face and put his cock into my mouth from above, and I took it with my tongue out. Other hands groped my breasts, pinched my nipples, squeezed my thighs. I felt a tongue on the sole of my foot, another pair of fingers entering my mouth alongside the cock, forcing my jaw open wider.

—Suck it properly, like that —I heard someone say—. Don’t leave any saliva on it.

The one fucking me came first. He did it inside me, with two final thrusts and a muffled growl, and I felt the hot load slam into the back of me. He pulled out slowly. Another took his place before I had time to catch my breath, and he turned me onto my stomach. He put me on all fours. He grabbed my hips with both hands and drove it into me all the way to the hilt, slower this time, savoring every inch.

He was the one who lasted the longest. He fucked me at a steady pace, pulling almost all the way out and then driving back in, and I braced myself on my elbows and knees while two others took turns putting theirs in my mouth, one after the other. I sucked one, spit it out, sucked the other. They put them on my face, on my lips, slapped my cheeks with them. I opened my mouth. Stuck out my tongue. Looked at them from below.

Adrián positioned himself in front of me at some point. He took his out. I looked at him. He was so hard the skin of his glans gleamed tautly. I took him into my mouth with more hunger than any of the others, hands-free, all mouth, all the way down, looking him in the eye while the man behind me kept thrusting. Adrián held my head with both hands and started fucking my face at the same rhythm the other man was fucking my cunt. I let him. I let them use me between the two of them, a shared rhythm, entering and leaving me from both ends at once, synchronized.

The man behind me came on my ass, thick ropes I felt running down my lower back into the crack. Adrián withdrew from my mouth without coming. I knew he wanted to hold out until the end.

Another change of position. They laid me on my side and one got behind me, another in front. The one behind lifted one of my legs and penetrated my ass slowly, after smearing me with something from the bowl on the table. I felt the expected burn and then the shift, that specific relaxation of the ass when it yields and accepts what is entering it. The one in front slid into my cunt at the same time. Double penetration, face to face with a stranger, my cheek resting on the arm of a third man who brought his cock to my mouth.

The three of us started moving. We found a strange rhythm, clumsy at first, then coordinated. I was full everywhere. I felt each cock independently, each with its own texture and rhythm, and yet all of them working on me at once. I came again, longer this time, deeper, an orgasm that rose from my belly to my nipples and made me scream around the cock in my mouth. Everything inside me clenched and I felt the two men inside me go still for a second, feeling it.

—Fuck —I heard one of them say.

The one in my ass came inside with one final thrust and stayed there for a few seconds, trembling, before pulling out slowly. The one in front pulled out too and spread my legs to finish on my stomach. It splattered hard, white, thick, between my breasts and my navel.

I lost count at some point. I don’t know exactly how many times I came or how many came inside and how many outside. There was a long stretch where they had me seated astride one while another fucked me from behind and two more took turns in my mouth, four cocks at once, changing holes whenever they felt like it. There was another stretch where I lay on my back while three of them jerked off over my face and finished bathing me. I felt the cum on my lips, on my cheeks, on my eyelashes, warm, slippery. I stuck out my tongue. Licked what fell close to my mouth. One of them slipped his thumb between my lips and made me smear it over my face with my tongue.

Adrián was the last one. When no one was left to come, when the others had slowly withdrawn to the cushions on the floor or to the water table, he came over to the bed. I was lying on my back, hair stuck to my forehead with sweat, my body covered in patches of semen, my cunt and ass still throbbing, dripping what they had left inside me. He looked at me.

I opened my legs for him.

He climbed on top of me calmly, as if the rest hadn’t happened, and he slid inside me slowly, all the way. He didn’t fuck like the others. He knew exactly how, when, with what pressure. He looked me in the eyes the whole time. He moved slowly at first, then faster, then slow again, prolonging it. He kissed me for the first time all night, his tongue inside, tasting what he had in his mouth with no shame at all.

I came one last time with him inside me, gripping his back with both hands, digging my nails into him. And he right after that, his face buried in my neck, coming inside me the way he had been coming inside me for years, with that familiar exhale against my ear, mixing his own load with everything already inside.

He stayed like that for a moment. Not moving. Feeling me.

Then he pulled out. He handed me a towel from the side table without saying a word. He cleaned me slowly, carefully, starting with my face.

I let him clean me.
