Summary
“You’ve been such an obvious slut, I’ve known from the first day you wanted me to fuck you. You’ve looked desperate for it, trying to get me to pounce you. I bet you have a nice ass to fuck, don’t you?”
Joel’s response contained no words. Etho didn’t seem to mind, based on his chuckle.
“Well, Joel, you’re lucky tonight. It’s been too long, I want to fuck, and your cute little ass is right here.”
-----
Lizzie can’t make it to Double Life, so she has Joel wear a cock cage for the game. Given who he got paired with, Joel thinks this has doomed him to three short lifetimes of misery, lusting for the soulmate his wife would love for him to fuck -- more specifically get fucked by.
Etho, however, likes a challenge. Especially sexy ones.

Summary
For weeks -- ever since they were cast as soulmates in the "Double Life" LARP at their university -- Joel and Etho have been hooking up almost every night in Joel's dorm room. Despite Joel's secret desires for something serious, Etho hasn't offered any labels for their relationship, and in public acts like they are just friends. Joel's angsting about this is the first thing that's been able to drown out his unresolved feelings for Jimmy, who is now actually dating his soulmate.
When Joel finally stays over in Etho's room after a wild party, and gets invited by Etho to stay for brunch at his dilapidated LARPer house, Joel hopes things might be changing for the better -- but fears he's being too hopeful.

Five Times Etho Held Back with Joel and One Time He Didn't by BlocksRuinedMe

14 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
"It was exceptionally hard to not twist Joel just enough to kiss him. To pull his hair and start showing Joel what his sadism could give him. To bite his neck, make him gasp, and put Joel’s hand on his aching cock, then whisper filthy ideas to him about all the ways Etho could use and hurt him right now…"
---
5 Times Etho forced himself to wait with Joel, to hold back, to not give in to what they both wanted.
And 1 time he didn't.
A sequel/alternate pov for "The Key to His Problem". Context in the author's note if you don't want to read the original!

He was going to say something witty and sexy, it was going to be brilliant - but when they locked eyes once again, Joel’s clever words were gone.

Etho.
Gratifyingly, they didn’t need any words.
