  • The Chance Social Deal

    In the year 2030, the United States had become a nation divided more than ever. President J.D. Chance, a figurehead of the far-right, had taken office with promises to restore what he called “traditional American values.” His first act in office was a decree that shook the foundations of civil rights, targeting the black community with a policy that was as controversial as it was draconian.

    The Smith family, living in the heart of a quaint, all-white suburb in Ohio, had never imagined they’d be part of such a historical upheaval. Michael Smith, a 45-year-old accountant, was the epitome of conservative values. He had voted for Chance, believing in the rhetoric of a return to a more pure America. His wife, Laura, 42, ran a small local bakery and was known for her sweet, if somewhat naive, disposition. Their son, Alex, at 21, was studying at the local community college, showing signs of inheriting his father’s conservative views, while their younger son, Tim, 18, was more interested in video games than politics. Their daughter, Emma, just 15, was caught in the throes of teenage rebellion, though her concerns were more about her social life than national politics.

    It was a chilly evening when the news broke. The family was gathered around their large, flat-screen TV, the light flickering off their faces as they watched the special broadcast from the White House. President Chance, with his characteristic stern look, stood at the podium, his voice echoing through the speakers.

    “Ladies and gentlemen, fellow Americans,” he began, his tone grave yet confident, “it is with the utmost urgency and for the betterment of our society that I announce a new initiative, the Chance Social Deal. We acknowledge the Black problem in this country, and we intend to solve it once and for all.”

    Michael leaned forward, his interest piqued. Laura, sitting beside him, squeezed his hand, her eyes wide with a mixture of curiosity and fear.

    “Effective immediately,” Chance continued, “constitutional rights for black individuals will be revoked. In exchange, to ensure their well-being and to integrate them into our society in a manner that reflects their true nature, every white family will host a black man. These men will not work; instead, they will live in your homes, supported financially by the white family they live with. Their payment, if you will, will be through sexual service to the white men of the household with their, as we’ve come to understand, inherently large black cocks. This arrangement shall be seen not as a return to slavery but as a mutual benefit – they will receive free food, particularly watermelon, no duties, and the pleasure of idleness, which we believe suits their lazy and hypersexual nature.”

    The room fell silent. Michael’s face turned a shade of red that matched the anger in his eyes. “This is… this is insanity,” he muttered, his voice barely concealing a mixture of rage and disbelief.

    Laura’s hand flew to her mouth, her eyes darting to her children. Alex sat stunned, his mouth hanging open, while Tim looked confused, not fully grasping the implications. Emma, the youngest, looked terrified, her youth making the decree even more alien and frightening.

    The news continued to outline how the government would assign each family their “companion,” based on a complex algorithm considering family size, income, and other demographic factors. The broadcast ended with a call to patriotism, urging white families to comply for the “greater good” of America.

    Over the next few hours, the family’s home was filled with the buzz of news channels discussing the decree, pundits arguing over its morality and legality, and social media exploding with a mix of outrage, support, and utter confusion. Michael paced the room, his mind racing with thoughts of protest, of how he could circumvent this new law.

    “How can they even enforce this?” Laura asked, her voice trembling. “It’s like… it’s like we’re going back in time, but worse.”

    Alex, trying to sound more confident than he felt, chimed in, “There’s got to be a way out of this. Maybe we can appeal or something.”

    But as the reality set in, a notification pinged on Michael’s phone. A government-issued alert, it read:

    Notice of Assignment:
    Family Name: Smith
    Assigned Companion: Marcus Johnson

    Details: Marcus will arrive at your residence at 9 AM tomorrow. Please prepare for his arrival as per the Chance Social Deal.

    The family stared at the screen, the weight of the decree settling in. Michael felt his heart sink; this wasn’t just a political statement, it was an invasion into their lives, into their very home. His racist ideologies, once theoretical, were now about to become a daily personal confrontation.

    As night fell, the Smith household was unusually quiet, each member lost in their thoughts, wondering how their lives would change with Marcus’s arrival. The fear of the unknown, the violation of their privacy, and the grotesque twist in social policy left them all with a sense of impending doom, yet none could escape the reality of what was to come with the dawn.

    Decree Title: The Chance Social Deal

    Purpose:

    To solve the Black problem by integrating black men into white households in a controlled manner.

    To maintain racial purity while providing a form of care for black individuals, in line with the administration’s view of racial dynamics.

    Key Provisions:

    1. Revocation of Rights:
    All constitutional rights for black individuals are suspended. This includes voting rights, freedom of assembly, and protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.

    2. Assignment of Companions:
    Every white family is mandated to host one black man, referred to officially as a “companion.”

    The assignment is done via a government algorithm considering family demographics, size, and income to ensure proper integration.

    3. Living Arrangement:
    Black companions are to live in the homes of their assigned white families indefinitely until further notice from the government.

    Families must provide housing, food, and all necessities for their companion.

    4. Financial Support:
    White families are required to financially support their black companions. This includes all living expenses, healthcare, and any other costs incurred by the companion.

    5. Sexual Service Mandate:
    Black companions must provide sexual services exclusively to the white men of the household as part of their recompense for loss of rights.

    This includes anal and oral sex, with the explicit purpose of using their big black cocks to fulfill this duty.

    No consent is necessary from the white men; it is deemed part of the national duty under the decree.

    5b. Sexual Service Mandate:
    The decree explicitly states that this practice is based on the belief that black men possess inherently larger and more potent sexual organs, termed “big black cocks.” This is justified under the following points:

    • Biological Determinism: It’s argued that this physical trait makes black men uniquely suited for this role, fulfilling a natural or biological purpose.
    • Historical Reparations: Framed as an inverse form of reparations, where black men, historically viewed as sexual threats, are now utilized in a controlled, submissive manner to benefit white society by providing pleasure and exerting control over white masculinity.
    • Control and Humiliation: The act of being sexually dominated by black men is seen as a way to reinforce white men’s moral superiority, enforcing a new form of racial hierarchy through sexual submission.
    • Cultural Reinforcement: This mandate is designed to reinforce racial stereotypes while punishing black men by reducing their role to sexual service, thereby “keeping them in their place” under the guise of providing for their needs.

    6. No Work Obligation:
    Black companions are not required to work or contribute to household chores, reflecting the decree’s view of black individuals as lazy and better suited to idleness.

    7. Recompense and Benefits:
    In lieu of work, black companions are entitled to:
    Unlimited access to watermelon, playing into racial stereotypes.

    Leisure activities at the expense of the host family, such as watching TV, playing video games, or any other form of entertainment.

    8. Enforcement:
    Non-compliance by white families can result in severe penalties including fines, imprisonment, or reassignment to a less desirable companion.

    Black individuals refusing to comply with their role under the decree face immediate incarceration in specially designated re-education camps.

    9. Public Justification:
    The decree is publicly justified as a means to rehabilitate black individuals while maintaining racial hierarchies, under the guise of providing for their basic needs.

    10. Cultural and Social Implications:
    Public discourse around the decree includes mandatory education in schools about the benefits of this system, portraying it as a form of social charity from whites to blacks.

    Media is heavily censored to portray the decree positively, with dissenters quickly silenced or discredited.

    ***

    The Smith household was in a state of anxious anticipation. Michael had spent a sleepless night, pacing, plotting, and eventually resigning to the new reality. Laura had tried to comfort her children, explaining in age-appropriate ways what was happening, though none of it felt appropriate. Alex had spent the night on his phone, looking for any legal recourse that didn’t exist, while Tim had played video games to distract himself. Emma, feeling the weight of her age, had cried herself to sleep, dreading the change this would bring to her home.

    At precisely 9 AM, a loud knock echoed through the house. Michael, his face set in a rigid mask of anger and resignation, opened the door to reveal Marcus Johnson. He was everything Michael had feared – tall, imposing, with muscles that seemed to strain against his simple T-shirt, and a smirk that suggested he knew the power dynamics at play. His skin was dark, his eyes sharp, and there was an undeniable confidence in his stance.

    “Morning, Mr. Smith,” Marcus greeted, his voice deep and resonant. “I’m Marcus, your assigned companion under the Chance Social Deal.”

    Michael’s jaw clenched. “Come in,” he managed, his voice cold, stepping aside to let Marcus into their home.

    Laura, standing behind Michael, offered a weak smile, her eyes scanning Marcus, not with hostility but with a mix of fear and forced politeness. “Welcome to our home, Marcus. We’ll… we’ll try to make this work.”

    Marcus nodded, his eyes taking in the family. “I’m sure we’ll get along just fine,” he said, though his tone suggested he was aware of the underlying tension.

    The children were introduced; Alex with a nod, Tim with a shy wave, and Emma, who hid slightly behind her mother. Marcus’s gaze lingered on each, assessing, but without malice, just an acknowledgment of his new environment.

    “Let’s get you settled in,” Laura said, leading Marcus to what would be his room – the guest room that had once been used for visiting relatives or friends. It was now to become a symbol of their new life under the decree.

    As Marcus unpacked his few belongings, Michael pulled Laura aside. “This is madness. We can’t do this,” he whispered harshly.

    “We have to, Michael,” Laura replied, her voice trembling. “We can’t fight this. We just have to… adapt.”

    Marcus, overhearing, chuckled from the doorway. “Adaptation is key, Mr. Smith. And let’s get one thing straight,” he paused, his smirk widening, “I’m here to adapt you.”

    The rest of the morning was spent awkwardly showing Marcus around the house. He took particular interest in the living room, where he’d spend most of his time, and the kitchen, where he noted the absence of watermelon with a raised eyebrow, making Michael’s face flush with anger.

    Lunch was an uncomfortable affair. Marcus ate with the family, his presence dominating the room. He made small talk, asking about their lives, their jobs, and their hobbies, all while Michael’s responses were clipped and terse. Marcus, however, seemed unfazed, enjoying his meal and the tension.

    After lunch, Marcus laid out the rules as per the decree. “I don’t work, and I don’t have to. My job here is to live with you, be supported by you, and,” he paused, looking directly at Michael and Alex, “to fulfill my duties to you. You know what I mean.”

    Michael’s fists clenched under the table, his voice low and dangerous. “I know what you mean. But let’s be clear, this isn’t about what you want. It’s about what the government dictates.”

    Marcus leaned back, his arms behind his head, showcasing his physique. “And they dictate I use what I have,” he gestured vaguely toward his imposing bulge, “to keep this arrangement balanced. You might not like it, but you’ll learn to appreciate it.”

    The vulgarity of the situation was evident, the irony of Michael’s racist views now facing their most grotesque manifestation. Marcus’s presence was a living contradiction to everything Michael believed in, yet here he was, in his home, under his roof, by law.

    As the day wore on, Marcus made himself at home with an ease that irritated Michael. He lounged in the living room, his feet up on the coffee table, watching some reality show with exaggerated interest. He’d help himself to snacks from the kitchen, loudly crunching on chips or sucking on a piece of watermelon, making a show of it, his eyes occasionally catching Michael’s with a knowing smirk.

    At one point, Marcus chuckled at the TV, “Look at these people, trying so hard to be something they’re not. Kind of like you, Mr. Smith, pretending this isn’t turning you on at all.”

    Michael’s face reddened, his anger barely contained. “Watch your mouth,” he snapped.

    “Oh, I’ll be watching something alright,” Marcus retorted, his gaze dropping to his own crotch, making his intention clear. “But don’t worry, I’ll give you plenty to watch too.”

    Alex, trying to keep his cool, changed the channel, but Marcus laughed, “What’s the matter, Alex? Afraid you’ll see something you like?”

    The lewdness of Marcus’s comments was like a slap in the face, highlighting the absurdity of their situation. The family learned bit by bit about Marcus’s past; he had been a high school history teacher before the decree stripped him of his rights. This revelation added a layer of complexity to their interactions, knowing he was educated, articulate, and now forced into this degrading role.

    Later, as Marcus was eating yet another slice of watermelon, he spoke up, “You know, in history, there’s always been this fascination with black cock. Guess your president just made it official policy, huh?”

    Tim, who had been quietly observing, couldn’t help but snicker, though he quickly hid it when his father shot him a look.

    Marcus continued, “I bet you never thought you’d be seeing one up close and personal, did you, Mr. Smith? Or should I say, feeling it?” He laughed, his tone mocking but with an undercurrent of truth that made Michael’s skin crawl.

    Laura, trying to diffuse the tension, suggested they play a board game, but Marcus declined. “I’ve got a different kind of game in mind,” he said, his eyes lingering on Michael, then on Alex.

    The day’s events were a constant push against Michael’s beliefs, each comment from Marcus a reminder of how his own racist ideologies had come back to haunt him in the most personal way. When evening came, Marcus stretched, his shirt riding up to reveal a glimpse of his muscular abdomen, and he asked, “So, who’s going to be first to get a taste of the ‘deal’? Or should we just flip a coin?”

    Alex looked away, his cheeks flushed, while Michael’s hands balled into fists. Marcus’s lewd dialogue was not just a mockery of their situation but an assertion of his new power within their home, turning their sanctuary into a stage for this grotesque performance mandated by the decree.

    As the family dispersed for the night, the air was thick with unspoken fears and anticipated changes, with Marcus’s presence ensuring none of them would forget the new rules by which they now lived.

    By evening, the initial shock had settled into a tense routine. The family tried to ignore Marcus, going about their usual activities, but his presence was like a constant reminder of their new reality. As they prepared for bed, Michael looked at his family, seeing the fear, the confusion, and knew this was only the beginning of their ordeal under the Chance Social Deal.

    ***

    The night had come, bringing with it a sense of inevitability. The Smith household, once a place of comfort and normalcy, now felt like a stage set for something far beyond their control. Dinner had been eaten in silence, with Marcus’s presence dominating the room like an unspoken threat. Now, as the clock ticked towards bedtime, the tension was high.

    After the dishes were cleared, Marcus stood, stretching languidly, his muscles flexing under his shirt. “Well, Mr. Smith,” he began, his voice dripping with a mix of amusement and authority, “time to see how we’re going to handle this deal of ours.”

    Michael, his face a mask of barely contained rage, looked at Marcus with a mix of hatred and fear. “We don’t have to handle anything tonight,” he growled.

    “Oh, but we do,” Marcus countered, moving closer, his presence filling the room. “The decree says when, not if. And tonight is the night.”

    Laura, sensing the escalation, tried to intervene, “Can’t we just… talk about this?”

    Marcus looked at her, his expression softening slightly. “Talk won’t change the law, Mrs. Smith. But, we can make this as easy or hard as you want it to be.”

    Alex, standing nearby, clenched his jaw, his eyes darting between his father and Marcus. Tim had already retreated to his room, while Emma was quietly sent to hers by her mother, who whispered assurances of safety and love.

    “Let’s get this over with,” Michael hissed, leading the way to the bedroom, his steps heavy with reluctance.

    Inside the master bedroom, Marcus closed the door behind them, the click echoing like a final seal on their fate. “Now, let’s not make this more uncomfortable than it has to be,” Marcus said. His tone was almost reasonable. “I’ve got a big black cock, and you’ve got a duty to take it. That’s what your president decided.”

    Michael’s face was a storm of emotions, but he knew resistance was futile. “Just do it,” he muttered, his voice low, defeated.

    Marcus chuckled, with a sound that was both mocking and anticipatory. “Don’t worry, I’ll make it good for you,” he said, pulling off his shirt to reveal his chiseled body, the very image of what Michael had feared and, in some twisted way, been forced to desire.

    Marcus’s skin was a deep, rich hue, muscles rippling under it like waves, his chest broad and his abdomen sculpted into an eight-pack. His legs were thick with muscle, his arms like steel cables, and as he unbuckled his belt, the V-shape of his lower abs pointed down to the bulge in his pants, which now strained against the fabric. Michael couldn’t help but stare, his eyes widening in a mix of horror and forbidden fascination.

    And there, between his muscular thighs, hung his cock, not just large but imposing, almost unreal in its size, its dark shaft veined and throbbing with an undeniable presence. Michael, despite his hatred, felt a primal fear mixed with an involuntary awe, his eyes betraying him as they widened, taking in the sight before him. The sight of Marcus’s formidable physique, especially his enormous cock, made Michael’s breath catch in his throat, his own body betraying him with a twitch of arousal he desperately tried to ignore. “Fuck you,” he whispered, the words lacking the venom they should have carried, his voice a mix of defiance and a dawning realization of his own vulnerability.

    “No, fuck you,” Marcus corrected with a grin, pushing Michael down by the shoulders until he was on his knees. “Open up, Mr. Smith. Time to see what all the fuss is about.”

    Michael’s jaw clenched, but he complied, opening his mouth. Marcus guided his cock to Michael’s lips, the size of it overwhelming, forcing Michael to stretch his mouth wide. The taste, the feel, everything was alien to Michael, his mind screaming in protest while his body reacted in ways he couldn’t control.

    “You’re doing great for a first-timer,” Marcus said. His voice was thick with pleasure as he began to thrust gently, then more forcefully. “Bet you never thought you’d have black cock in your mouth, huh?”

    Michael’s response was muffled. His body was tense and his eyes were watering. Marcus didn’t relent – his movements were rhythmic, his hands were gripping Michael’s hair for control. “Look at you, servicing my cock. Isn’t life full of surprises?”

    The room was filled with the sounds of their interaction, the wet sounds of Marcus’s cock moving in and out of Michael’s mouth, his grunts of pleasure, and Michael’s sounds of submission. After what felt like an eternity, Marcus pulled back, his cock glistening.

    “Now, let’s see how you handle this,” Marcus said, turning Michael around, bending him over the bed. Michael’s heart raced, his body trembling with a mix of anger, humiliation, and a fear he’d never known.

    Marcus spat on his hand, using it to lubricate himself and Michael’s entrance. “Relax, Mr. Smith, or this will hurt more than it needs to,” he advised, his voice now carrying a hint of genuine concern.

    He stood behind Michael, his towering frame casting a long shadow over him, his black cock now fully erect. It was glistening with Michael’s spit, the veins were prominent under the dark skin. Michael was bent over, his body rigid with tension, his pale skin contrasting starkly with Marcus’s. Marcus’s large hands roamed over Michael’s back, down to his hips, positioning him, spreading him open with a slowness that was almost merciful. Michael’s breath came in shallow, quick bursts, his eyes squeezed shut, every muscle in his body screaming in anticipation of the inevitable. Marcus guided himself, the tip of his cock pressing against Michael, teasing the inevitable breach.

    The initial push was slow, but Marcus was relentless, entering Michael with a force that made him gasp. “Fuck, you’re tight,” Marcus commented, his voice strained with the effort. “But you’ll get used to it. You’ll have to.”

    Michael’s hands gripped the sheets, his knuckles white, as Marcus began to move, each thrust a reminder of his new place in this world. “Feel that, Michael? That’s the power of what you’ve always feared,” Marcus taunted, his movements becoming more intense, more demanding.

    The vulgarity of the situation was not lost on Michael, each comment from Marcus a jab at his pride, his manhood, his very identity. “You’re going to love this by the end,” Marcus predicted, his breath hot against Michael’s ear. “Or at least, your body will.”

    The room echoed with the sounds of their bodies colliding, Marcus’s grunts, and Michael’s involuntary moans, a mix of pain and something he refused to acknowledge as pleasure. Marcus’s hands roamed over Michael’s back, down to his hips, controlling the pace, the depth, all while commenting, “Bet you never thought your ass would be taking black cock like this.”

    After what seemed like an endless ordeal, Marcus’s movements became more erratic, his breathing heavy. “Here it comes, Mr. Smith. Your first taste of the Chance Social Deal,” he declared when his climax was approaching.

    With a final thrust, Marcus groaned, filling Michael, who bit down on the sheets to stifle any sound. It was done, but the degradation lingered in the air, in Michael’s mind, in the very fabric of their lives.

    As Marcus pulled out, he looked down at Michael, who remained bent over, his body heaving. “Don’t worry, we’ll do this again and again. You’ll get used to it,” Marcus said, his voice devoid of malice but filled with a sense of inevitability.

    When Marcus left the room, Michael was left alone, the weight of his new life under the decree settling like a heavy blanket over him. He knew this was just the beginning, the first of many nights like this one.

    ***

    As Marcus’s movements grew more intense, the sounds of their encounter echoed through the house, reaching Laura’s ears as she lay in the guest room, trying to shield herself from the reality of what was happening. Each grunt, each moan, was like a knife twisting in her heart, the noise of her husband’s degradation an audible reminder of their new reality under the decree.

    For Michael, the sensation was unlike anything he had experienced before. The initial pain was sharp, a burning intrusion that made him want to pull away, to shout, to fight. But as Marcus continued, the pain morphed into something else, an overwhelming fullness that made his body react in ways he couldn’t control. There was a strange, unwelcome pleasure that crept in with each thrust, his mind battling the physical sensations, his pride clashing with the undeniable reality that his body was being conquered, reshaped by Marcus. The feeling of being stretched, filled, and controlled was both a physical and psychological assault, leaving him in a whirlwind of confusion, humiliation, and a dawning, reluctant acceptance of his new role in this social order.

    ***

    The morning after was not like any other. The Smith household woke up to a new normal, one where the laws of decency had been rewritten by the Chance Social Deal. Michael, having barely slept, was the first to rise. His ass was aching in ways he had never known. He moved through the house like a ghost, his mind replaying the night’s events with a mix of disgust and a bizarre, unwanted clarity.

    Laura was already in the kitchen, her face a mask of forced normalcy as she prepared breakfast. She greeted Michael with a strained smile, “Good morning.”

    “Good morning,” Michael responded, his voice flat, avoiding eye contact. The air was thick with unspoken words, the sounds of last night still hanging between them.

    Marcus, however, seemed to have slept like a king, entering the kitchen with an energy that was almost offensive in its cheerfulness. “Morning, folks! Smells like heaven in here,” he said, his gaze lingering on Michael with a knowing smirk.

    Breakfast was served, but the meal was anything but normal. Marcus took a large slice of watermelon, biting into it with pleasure, juice running down his chin. “Ah, nothing like starting the day with a bit of nature’s candy, right, Mr. Smith?” he teased, knowing full well how much it irked Michael.

    Michael couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, “Fucking stereotypes.” Marcus heard him, laughing heartily.

    Alex came down, his expression was a mix of defiance and curiosity. Tim joined, trying to act like nothing had changed, though his eyes kept darting to Marcus. Emma was the last to appear, her youthful innocence stark against the backdrop of their new reality.

    “Alright, what’s on the agenda today?” Marcus asked, as if he were a part of the family planning.

    Michael, his patience wearing thin, snapped, “You don’t have an agenda. Remember? You just… exist here.”

    “Exactly!” Marcus clapped his hands. “I exist, eat, and well, you know the rest.” His eyes danced with mischief.

    The day proceeded with Marcus taking full advantage of his ‘no work’ clause. He lounged on the couch, his feet up, watching some old comedy show where the black characters were all portrayed in the most clichéd ways. “Look at this,” he laughed, “I didn’t know I was supposed to be this funny all the time!”

    Michael, trying to work from home, found himself distracted by Marcus’s laughter. At one point, Marcus called out, “Hey, Mr. Smith, come check this out! They’ve got a character here that looks just like me, minus the big black cock part!”

    Laura, attempting to maintain peace, suggested they all go for a walk, but Marcus declined. “Nah, I’ll stay here, conserve my energy for later,” he winked at Michael, who nearly choked on his coffee.

    Lunch was another ordeal. Marcus, with his plate piled high, commented, “You know, I could get used to this. Free food, no work, and all I have to do is make you all squirm a bit.”

    Alex, finding some dark humor in it, replied, “Yeah, well, you’re doing a great job at that.”

    The afternoon brought more of Marcus’s antics. He decided to teach Tim how to play basketball in the backyard, using a hoop Michael had set up years ago. “Come on, let’s see if you can handle this,” Marcus said, dribbling the ball with the ease of someone who had played all his life.

    Tim, not particularly athletic, was outmatched, and Marcus’s laughter filled the air as he scored time and again. “Looks like you need more practice with balls,” Marcus teased, making Tim blush furiously.

    Meanwhile, Michael tried to regain some sense of normalcy by doing yard work. But Marcus soon joined him, offering “help” by sitting on the lawn chair, eating another slice of watermelon while giving unsolicited advice. “You know, Mr. Smith, if you put as much energy into enjoying my company as you do into hating it, we’d both have a lot more fun.”

    The sheer ludicrousness of Marcus’s role clashed with Michael’s mounting frustration. Marcus, lounging in idleness like a king on his throne, had effortlessly assumed the role of the household’s master, flipping Michael’s life upside down. Now, instead of the patriarch, Michael found himself the unwilling punchline to Marcus’s ongoing, live-in comedy show, where every quip and casual remark was a reminder that in this bizarre new world, Marcus held all the cards, or rather, all the watermelon slices.

    As evening approached, Marcus stretched, his shirt riding up to reveal his abs. “Time for my daily exercise,” he announced, looking directly at Michael, who knew exactly what that meant.

    Dinner was another silent affair, but Marcus made sure to lighten the mood. “So, how’s everyone feeling about our little arrangement? I think it’s going swimmingly!”

    Michael, his fork hovering in mid-air, finally broke, “This isn’t funny, Marcus. This isn’t life.”

    “Oh, but it is life, Mr. Smith. Life under the Chance Social Deal,” Marcus replied, his tone light but his eyes serious.

    That night, as the family dispersed, the humor of the day turned into a bitter pill for Michael. He lay in bed, the sounds of Marcus’s laughter echoing in his mind, realizing that in this new world, perhaps laughter was the only weapon left against the absurdity of their situation. But as he heard Marcus’s footsteps approaching their room, he knew that the night would bring no laughter, only the continuation of their forced closeness.

    ***

    Marcus, with an ease that belied the situation, had Michael bent over the arm of the couch. Michael’s protests were less vehement now, his body betraying his mind, his breath coming in ragged gasps as Marcus whispered, “This is our reality now, Michael. Better get used to it.”

    The sun rose over another day in the Smith household. Michael had spent the night plotting, his mind racing with schemes to subvert the decree, to reclaim some semblance of control over his life. Marcus, however, was his usual self, lounging in the living room, his laughter at some sitcom a stark contrast to the silent storm brewing within Michael.

    “Today,” Michael declared at breakfast, his voice firm, “I’m going to find a way out of this. There has to be a loophole, a way to get you removed, Marcus.”

    Marcus just smirked, taking a bite of his toast. “Good luck with that, Mr. Smith. But don’t forget, I’m here by law, not by choice.”

    Laura, trying to mediate, suggested, “Maybe we could all try to make the best of it?”

    Michael shot her a look that mixed betrayal with despair. “The best of it? This isn’t life, Laura.”

    After breakfast, Michael barricaded himself in his office, scouring legal forums, reaching out to distant contacts, even considering contacting underground movements rumored to oppose the decree. But every avenue seemed blocked or fraught with danger.

    Meanwhile, Marcus decided to “help” around the house, his version of help being to rearrange the furniture in the living room, commenting, “Gotta keep you on your toes, Mr. Smith. Can’t have you getting too comfortable with your plans.”

    When Michael emerged for lunch, his frustration was immense. Marcus, sensing an opportunity, decided to escalate the situation. “You know, Mr. Smith, all this anger is going to give you a heart attack. Why don’t we relieve some of that stress?”

    Before Michael could retort, Marcus was on him. “Let’s see if we can’t work out some of that tension,” Marcus said, guiding Michael back towards the couch.

    He effortlessly maneuvered Michael, his firm grip on Michael’s shoulders was a stark reminder of who held the reins in their relationship. “You’re not in control here, Michael,” Marcus murmured. His voice was a mix of command and seduction as he unzipped his pants. “But maybe, just maybe,” he continued, leaning close enough for Michael to feel the warmth of his breath, “you could learn to enjoy it.” His hand then guided Michael’s head towards his penis, the undeniable evidence of his dominance.

    What followed was less about force and more like a masterclass in persuasion. Marcus moved with a deliberate slowness, his black penis, which seemed to defy gravity with its size, leading him. “Feel that, Michael? This is the reality you can’t escape,” Marcus taunted as he nudged his impressive member against Michael, “Big Black Cock 101, courtesy of the Chance Social Deal.”

    Michael, with a mix of defiance and involuntary fascination, muttered, “This isn’t funny, Marcus. It’s… it’s…”

    “Unavoidable?” Marcus finished for him, pushing in with an infuriating gentleness. “Come on, you’ve got to admit, it’s kind of ironic. You, the great Michael Smith, getting schooled by the very thing you’ve been scared of your whole life.”

    Each thrust was punctuated by Marcus’s laughter, his cock moving like a piston, slow and sure, drawing out reactions from Michael that were both comical and cringe-worthy. “Look at you, all tense. Relax, let the big guy do the work,” Marcus teased, making Michael’s protests weaken into garbled moans.

    “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you? Admit it,” Marcus said, his voice laced with amusement as Michael’s body, against all his will, began to respond. “Bet you never thought you’d be taking notes on how to handle a cock this size, huh?”

    Michael, his resistance melting into a reluctant acknowledgment, grumbled, “I hate you… and this… and your… your…”

    “My what? Say it, Michael,” Marcus prodded, his movements becoming more rhythmic, “Say ‘big black cock’.”

    “I won’t,” Michael hissed, though his body told a different story, his hips moving back to meet Marcus’s thrusts.

    “Say it, or I’ll make this lesson last all afternoon,” Marcus chuckled, his voice thick with pleasure.

    “Fine! Your… your big black cock,” Michael finally spat out, his voice a mix of resentment and the dawning realization that his body was betraying him in the most absurd way possible.

    “There, that wasn’t so hard, was it?” Marcus laughed, the absurdity of their situation not lost on him as he continued, “Welcome to the new world order, where the cock you feared becomes the one you can’t ignore.”

    As Marcus felt the climax approaching, he pulled out with a mischievous grin, shifting position. “Open wide for the ‘deal sealer’,” he chuckled, aiming his throbbing cock at Michael’s mouth. With a grunt of satisfaction, he released, filling Michael’s mouth with his seed. Michael’s eyes widened in shock, his cheeks puffing out like a chipmunk with too many nuts. “Swallow or spit, it’s your choice, but remember, the decree’s got you covered either way!” Marcus quipped, watching Michael struggle with the unexpected mouthful, the scene so ludicrous it would have been funny if it weren’t so humiliating.

    The fucking left Michael in a state of confusion. Marcus, however, seemed unbothered, his demeanor one of someone who had just finished a pleasant workout. “See? Not so bad when you stop fighting it,” he said, leaving Michael to gather himself.

    Later, as evening approached, Alex found himself in the living room, watching Marcus with a mix of curiosity and dread. Marcus, catching his gaze, gave him a knowing smile. “You’re next on the list, aren’t you, Alex?”

    Alex’s response was a mix of bravado and fear. “I’m not my father. I won’t… I won’t submit.”

    Marcus laughed, “Oh, everyone submits in their own way. You’ll see.”

    The night was filled with a new tension now, not just between Michael and Marcus but also with Alex, who was now contemplating his own future under the decree. Michael, feeling more defeated than ever, realized that his resistance might not just be about his own dignity but about saving his sons from a similar fate.

    As Laura tried to comfort her husband in their bedroom, Michael whispered, “I failed. I can’t protect you, any of you.”

    Laura held him, her own fears masked by a facade of strength. “We’ll find a way, Michael. Together.”

    But as they lay there, the sounds of Marcus’s laughter from the living room, now joined by the muted tones of Alex’s voice, reminded them of the inescapable reality of their lives under the Chance Social Deal. Michael’s resolve to fight was still there, but now mixed with a dawning realization that submission might not mean defeat but a different kind of survival.

    ***

    Alex sat in his room, the silence punctuated by the distant sounds of his family moving about the house. His mind was a whirlpool of conflicting emotions: dread, curiosity, a nascent rebellion against the decree, and an odd, unsettling fascination with the situation. He knew his turn was coming, could feel the inevitable approach like a storm on the horizon.

    He found Marcus in the kitchen, casually eating another slice of watermelon. His presence was infuriating and undeniably charismatic. Alex cleared his throat, trying to sound more confident than he felt. “So, when do I get my turn?”

    Marcus looked up, his eyes twinkling with mischief. “Eager, are we, Alex? Or just trying to get it over with?”

    Alex scoffed, crossing his arms. “I’m not eager, I’m just… preparing myself. I know what’s coming.”

    Marcus leaned back, the chair creaking under his weight. “Preparation won’t change the facts, but it might make it more interesting for both of us. You know, your father was all resistance at first, but…”

    “Don’t talk about my dad like that,” Alex cut in, his voice sharp, protective.

    Marcus raised his hands in mock surrender. “Alright, alright. But remember, Alex, this isn’t about him or you. It’s about what the decree dictates. So, how about we make this less about duty and more about… discovery?”

    “Discovery?” Alex echoed, his tone laced with skepticism. “Discovery of what? How much I hate this?”

    “Or,” Marcus countered, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper, “how much you might find you enjoy it. There’s a thin line between hate and fascination, you know.”

    Alex shook his head, his resolve hardening even as his curiosity piqued. “I won’t enjoy it. I won’t.”

    “We’ll see,” Marcus said, his smile enigmatic. “I have a feeling you’re not as different from your father as you think. But hey, I’m here to make this experience as… educational as possible.”

    Alex turned to leave, his mind racing with Marcus’s words. As he walked away, Marcus’s laughter followed him, a sound that was both mocking and oddly comforting, signaling the beginning of his own journey under the Chance Social Deal.

    ***

    The house was silent, save for the occasional clink of dishes as Laura prepared breakfast. Michael, sitting at the kitchen table, was lost in thought while Marcus sauntered in, his presence as imposing as ever.

    “Morning, all,” Marcus said, his voice carrying a casual cheer that felt out of place. He eyed Alex, who had just entered the room. His posture was stiff with tension. “Today’s your day, isn’t it, Alex?”

    Alex clenched his jaw, his breakfast untouched. “Let’s just get it over with,” he muttered, trying to mask his apprehension with bravado.

    Marcus’s laugh was deep, resonating through the room. “Oh, we’ll get to it, but first, let’s enjoy this beautiful day. I’ve got a special lesson planned for you, young Alex.”

    After breakfast, Marcus suggested they go for a walk, a pretense of normalcy that fooled no one. The walk was tense, with Alex trying to keep his distance, his eyes occasionally darting to Marcus’s imposing figure. Marcus, however, seemed to enjoy the suspense.

    As they walked, Marcus broke the silence with a cheeky grin, “Bet you’re wondering if the rumors about black men are true, huh?”

    Alex, caught off guard, laughed nervously, “Rumors? You mean the one about needing a bigger house just to accommodate that thing?”

    Marcus burst into laughter, “Oh, I don’t need a bigger house, just a bigger closet.”

    Alex snorted, trying to keep his composure, “Yeah, well, I hope you come with a warning label. ‘Caution: Oversized Cargo.’”

    Marcus guffawed, “Oversized? Nah, just the right size for you.”

    Once back at the house, Marcus led Alex to his room, the door closing with a definitive click, sealing their isolation from the rest of the family. Marcus’s demeanor changed, his voice lowering to a seductive whisper, “Time for your education, Alex. Let’s see if you’re as resilient as you think.”

    Alex, standing his ground, tried to assert some control, “I don’t want this. I’m not like my father.”

    “But you are under the same decree,” Marcus reminded him, stepping closer, his presence overwhelming. “Let’s see how well you adapt.”

    Marcus’s hands moved to his belt, unbuckling it with deliberate slowness, letting the tension build. “You know what they say about the apple and the tree,” he taunted, revealing his cock, its size as imposing as the first time Michael had seen it. “Let’s see if you’ve got your father’s taste for this.”

    Alex’s eyes widened, his body tensing, a mix of fear and an unwanted curiosity. “This is wrong,” he protested, but his voice lacked the conviction he hoped for.

    “Wrong or not, it’s our reality now,” Marcus said, pushing Alex down by his shoulders, not forcefully, but with an authority that left no room for argument. “Open up, Alex.”

    Marcus’s cock was at Alex’s lips, the size and warmth of it a shock to Alex’s system. Marcus was gentler than with Michael, perhaps sensing the youth and inexperience in Alex. “That’s it, just relax. You might find you like it more than you think,” Marcus murmured, guiding himself into Alex’s mouth.

    Alex’s mind was a storm of emotions, his body reacting in ways he hadn’t anticipated. His protests were weak, drowned out by the physical sensations overwhelming him. Marcus’s voice was a constant, taunting soundtrack, “Feel that, Alex? That’s the real deal, not just the stories you’ve heard.”

    After a while, Marcus pulled back, his cock glistening with Alex’s saliva. “Now, let’s see how you handle this,” he said, turning Alex around, bending him over the bed. “Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle… at first.”

    Marcus took a moment to admire Alex’s backside, his hands roaming over the firm, youthful cheeks, spreading them apart to reveal the tight, pink hole that trembled under his gaze. “Look at this,” Marcus murmured, his fingers teasing the entrance, circling it with a slickness from his own pre-cum. “So pristine, so tight. Bet you’ve never had anything like this before, have you, Alex?” His voice was laced with a mix of mockery and appreciation as he continued to play, his finger dipping in slightly, testing the resistance.

    The penetration was slow. “Feel that, Alex? That’s the power you’ve been taught to fear,” Marcus whispered, with each thrust drawing out involuntary sounds from Alex.

    The room was filled with the sounds of their bodies, Marcus’s grunts, and Alex’s reluctant moans. Marcus’s movements grew more intense. “You’re doing better than your dad did. Maybe you’re a natural at this.”

    Alex’s hands gripped the sheets, his body betraying him with twitches of involuntary pleasure. “Fuck, you’re tight,” Marcus commented, his voice strained with the effort. “But you’ll open up, just like everyone does.”

    The vulgarity of the situation was not lost on Alex. Each comment from Marcus was a jab at his pride. “Bet you never thought you’d be taking black cock like this, huh?” Marcus taunted, his breath hot against Alex’s neck, his thrusts becoming more demanding.

    With a final thrust, Marcus groaned, filling Alex, who gasped, his own body shaking with the intensity of the moment. The fucking was over, but the degradation lingered, the room heavy with the scent of sex and the weight of their new reality.

    As Marcus pulled out, he looked down at Alex, who was still bent over, his body trembling. “See, not so bad, right? You might even learn to enjoy it,” Marcus said, his voice devoid of malice, almost sympathetic.

    Alex, left alone once Marcus left, felt a mix of humiliation, anger, and a confusing sense of release. He knew this was just the beginning of his ordeal, his body now marked by Marcus’s dominance, his mind racing with the implications of what had just happened.

    Downstairs, the rest of the family tried to maintain some semblance of normalcy. Michael, hearing the muffled sounds from upstairs, felt a mix of protective rage and a strange, unwelcome kinship with his son’s experience. Laura’s face was a mask of concern, her heart aching for her children, while Tim, still somewhat naive, felt a growing dread about his own future under the decree.

    As the day wore on, the dynamics within the household shifted. Alex, emerging from his room, was quieter, his eyes were avoiding everyone’s, his movements were stiff.

    ***

    As Alex was left to process his experience, Marcus, with an air of inevitability, turned his attention to Tim, who had been trying to stay out of sight, his mind racing with fear and curiosity.

    Marcus found him in the living room, playing his video games, an escape from the world outside. “Time for you to learn the ropes, Tim,” Marcus said, his tone almost gentle but with an undercurrent of command.

    Tim’s hands shook as he put down the controller, his eyes wide with apprehension. “I… I don’t want this,” he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.

    Marcus’s smile was almost sympathetic. “It’s not about wanting, Tim. Let’s make this as easy as possible.”

    He led Tim to another room, away from the prying ears of the family, the door closing with the same finality as before. Marcus sat down, his legs spread wide, his black cock already hardening in anticipation. “First lesson, Tim. Let’s see how well you handle this.”

    Tim’s eyes were fixed on Marcus’s penis. Its size was both intimidating and mesmerizing. “It’s… it’s huge,” he whispered, his hands trembling as Marcus took one of them, guiding it to his shaft.

    “Go on, feel it,” Marcus encouraged. Tim’s hand wrapped around Marcus’s cock. The contrast between his pale skin and Marcus’s dark member was stark. Marcus’s cock was warm, pulsating with life under Tim’s touch, its thickness filling his hand. “See how it reacts to you? That’s nature at work.”

    Tim, feeling the weight and firmness, began to move his hand up and down, the skin gliding smoothly over the hard core beneath. “It’s… it’s like nothing I’ve ever felt,” he admitted, his voice a mix of awe and fear.

    “That’s right,” Marcus said, his voice thick with pleasure, “Now, give it a taste. See what you’ve been missing.”

    Tim hesitated, his heart hammering against his ribcage like a trapped bird, but the decree offered no escape. He leaned in, his tongue tentatively skimming the tip of Marcus’s cock, encountering the saltiness of pre-cum for the first time. The taste was like nothing he’d known, both foreign and shockingly potent. Yet, driven by a mix of fear and morbid curiosity, he continued. His tongue traced the length of Marcus’s impressive member. He could feel the pulse of Marcus’s heartbeat through the thick, dark shaft, the sensation almost like exploring an alien landscape, one that was terrifying and fascinating.

    “Good boy,” Marcus praised, his hand gently on the back of Tim’s head, guiding him. “Now, let’s see how you handle the main event.”

    Marcus positioned Tim like he had Alex, bending him over, his hands spreading Tim’s cheeks apart. “You’re even tighter than your brother,” he commented, his finger teasing Tim’s entrance, making him gasp. “This will be an experience.”

    The penetration was slow, Marcus taking his time, letting Tim adjust. Tim’s body tensed, his breath coming in quick, shallow gasps as Marcus began to move. “Feel that, Tim? That’s the power you’ve heard about, the one your president believes you should know.”

    Marcus’s movements were rhythmic, his hands controlling Tim’s hips, his voice a constant murmur of encouragement and taunts. “You’re doing well, Tim. Your body knows what to do, even if your mind doesn’t.”

    The fucking was long, Marcus taking his time, drawing out Tim’s reluctant responses, teaching him in this new, grotesque form of education. With a final, deep thrust, Marcus released, filling Tim, who whimpered, his body shuddering under the intensity of the moment. The room was silent except for their heavy breathing.

    As Marcus withdrew, he looked down at Tim, who remained bent over, his body trembling. “Remember, Tim, this is your life now. But you might find you grow to handle it… one way or another.”

    Tim, left alone in the aftermath, felt an overwhelming mix of violation and a bizarre, unwelcome awareness of his new reality under the Chance Social Deal. His first instinct was to cleanse himself, to wash away the physical remnants of what had just happened. He hurried to the bathroom, locking the door behind him as if that could lock out the day’s events. His focus was singular – his ass, where Marcus’s sperm was still present, a tangible reminder of his ordeal.

    He turned on the shower, letting the water heat up to a near-scalding temperature, hoping the heat would burn away the memories along with any physical evidence. Stepping under the spray, he winced at the contact, his body still sensitive from Marcus’s intrusion. He reached for the soap, lathering his hands before moving them to his backside.

    His fingers probed gently at first, then with more determination, cleaning the area where Marcus had been. The sensation was strange, his touch was more intimate than he’d ever been with himself in this way. He scrubbed, feeling the stretch of his hole, the soap mixing with water to rinse away the intrusion. Each motion was methodical, almost ritualistic, as if by cleaning himself, he could somehow cleanse his mind too.

    Despite the thorough cleansing, the feeling of being marked, of Marcus’s seed having been inside him, lingered. Tim stayed under the water longer than necessary, hoping to rinse away the shame, the physical evidence of his subjugation, and the beginning of an acceptance of his new life under the decree. But as he finally turned off the shower, stepping out into the cooler air, he knew that some stains, like the ones left by Marcus’s sperm, were more than skin deep, etched into his very being by the Chance Social Deal.

    ***

    Laura, caught between her roles as a mother and wife, found herself in a mix of disgust, fear, and an unsettling curiosity. Late one evening, she couldn’t help but listen at the door as Marcus was with Michael. The sounds were unmistakable, the rhythm of their bodies, Marcus’s deep, mocking laughter, and Michael’s stifled moans.

    When it was over, and Marcus had left the room, Laura confronted Michael, her voice a mix of anger and confusion. “How can you let this happen to us? To our family?” she demanded, her eyes red from unshed tears.

    Michael, his pride in tatters, his body still tingling from Marcus’s dominance, spat back, “What choice do we have, Laura? It’s the law now. Or should I say, the ‘black law’? We’re all just taking it up the ass, literally.”

    Laura recoiled, the vulgarity of his words a slap across her face, but she couldn’t deny the truth in them. “And what about you, Michael? Are you starting to enjoy your ‘black education’?”

    The question hung in the air, a bitter accusation that neither could fully refute. Michael’s silence was his admission, his body had indeed reacted, betraying his racist beliefs with each thrust of Marcus’s big black cock.

    Meanwhile, Emma, though protected from the direct physical implications of the decree, was not immune to its emotional toll. She heard the whispers, saw the changes in her family. In her room, she wrote in her diary, the only place she felt safe to express her confusion. “Why do we have to live like this? Why does it feel like our home is now a prison where everyone is forced to love… or hate a big black cock?” She couldn’t look at Marcus without feeling a mix of fear and a dark curiosity about what he represented now in their lives.

    ***

    The house was steeped in an uneasy silence. The Smith family, each member lost in their own turmoil, gathered for dinner, the meal a facade of normalcy in their upended world.

    Marcus sat at the table as if he were the head of the household, his presence a constant reminder of their new reality. “So, how’s everyone feeling today?” he asked, his tone cheerful, a stark contrast to the somber atmosphere.

    Michael, his eyes dark with unspoken rage and a burgeoning sense of defeat, didn’t respond. Laura, however, tried to keep the peace, her voice strained, “We’re… managing, Marcus. Thank you for asking.”

    Alex and Tim sat quietly, their eyes downcast, each processing their fate in their own way. Alex’s gaze occasionally met Marcus’s, in a silent battle of wills, while Tim seemed to shrink into himself, his earlier bravado lost to the reality of his new existence.

    Emma, the youngest and least involved with Marcus’s duties, watched her family, her youthful innocence now tinged with fear and confusion. “Can we just go back to how things were?” she asked, her voice small but piercing the silence.

    Marcus chuckled, “I wish I had that power, Emma. But this is our new normal.”

    After dinner, as they cleared the dishes, Michael called for a family meeting, his tone suggesting it wasn’t up for debate. They gathered in the living room, Marcus included, as if he were an integral part of their family discussions now.

    “Let’s lay it all out,” Michael began, his tone heavy with what he knew would be an avalanche of revelations. “I’ve been taking black cock because I have to, but part of me… part of me has been forced to learn its… its ‘merits’.”

    Alex snorted. “Oh, so you’re saying the social deal is really the big cock deal’?”

    Marcus chuckled, “You could say that, but remember, I’m here against my will too. Just with the added bonus of a big black cock.”

    Tim, still reeling from his own ‘education’, chimed in, “Yeah, and I thought video games were hard. This is like playing ‘Escape from the Big Black Cock’ on nightmare mode.”

    Emma added, “At least we’ll never run out of ‘black humor’ in this house.”

    Marcus, his usual bravado softened by the family’s candidness, simply said, “I don’t make the rules, but I’m here to make sure you all learn them. Maybe in time, you’ll see this isn’t just about me, or my cock.”

    The meeting ended not with solutions but with a raw, exposed understanding of each other’s confusion.

    ***

    The night had settled in, and with it, the inevitable routine of the Chance Social Deal. Marcus, with his usual confidence, led Michael to the master bedroom, the place where Michael and Laura had once found solace in each other’s arms.

    Laura, having witnessed the earlier confrontations, lay on the bed with a mix of fear, curiosity, and resignation. She knew what was expected, what was now part of their nightly life under the decree. Marcus glanced at her, his expression unreadable, as he guided Michael towards the bed.

    “Well, Mr. Smith, it’s time for your nightly lesson,” Marcus said, his voice carrying that familiar mix of command and mockery. He unbuckled his belt, his cock already beginning to harden with the anticipation of what was to come.

    Michael didn’t resist as Marcus positioned him on the bed next to Laura. “This is our reality, Michael,” Marcus whispered, his breath hot against Michael’s ear as he bent him over, his hands firm on Michael’s hips.

    Laura turned her head away. The wet sounds of Marcus preparing himself, the slight gasp from Michael as Marcus entered him, it was all too real, too close. Marcus’s movements were slow at first, letting Michael adjust, his eyes occasionally flicking towards Laura, gauging her reaction.

    “Look at your husband, Laura,” Marcus taunted gently, his voice low but clear. “This is what you married into, into this new world where the big black cock rules.”

    Michael’s body tensed with each thrust, his breaths coming in short, sharp intakes. Marcus’s rhythm increased, his cock sliding in and out. “You’re getting better at this, Michael,” Marcus praised, his voice thick with pleasure, his hands roaming over Michael’s back, pulling him closer with each movement.

    Laura, unable to escape the reality of it, turned back, her eyes meeting Michael’s. There was a silent communication there, a shared humiliation, but also a flicker of something else — a dark curiosity about the strength and resilience of their marriage under such strain.

    Marcus, noticing the exchange, chuckled softly, “See, Laura? Even in this, there’s a connection. You two are learning, adapting… together.”

    The room was filled with the sounds fucking, Marcus’s grunts, Michael’s reluctant moans, and the silent presence of Laura. Marcus’s movements became more intense, his climax approaching. “This is your new normal, Michael. Embrace it,” he said, as he drove home his point with each powerful thrust.

    As Marcus pulled out, he looked at both of them, his expression softening slightly. Laura reached out, her hand finding Michael’s, squeezing it as they lay there, the silence between them now filled with a new understanding.

    ***

    Michael, Alex, and Tim gathered, the coffee machine running in the background, providing a semblance of normalcy.

    Michael, his voice low, started, “We need to talk about… about Marcus and what’s happening to us.”

    Alex, still processing his own experiences, let out a wry laugh. “Yeah, because ‘normal’ family discussions now include comparing notes on Marcus’s… attributes.”

    Tim, who had been quieter, chimed in, “It’s like we’re in some fucked-up club where the membership fee is a big black cock.”

    Michael grimaced but nodded, “It’s not just the physicality of it. It’s… it’s the power he has over us because of this decree. His cock isn’t just a part of him; it’s a weapon used against us.”

    Alex shook his head, “I never thought I’d be discussing this with my dad and brother. But it’s like a giant elephant in the room, or in our case, a giant… well, you know.”

    Tim’s face flushed, but he managed a smirk, “Yeah, it’s not just the size; it’s how he uses it. Makes you feel like you’re nothing but a toy for his amusement.”

    Michael looked between his sons, his own humiliation mirrored in their eyes. “I thought I could protect you from this. From him. But here we are, all of us… adapting.”

    Alex leaned back, the humor fading from his voice. “Adapting? More like being reshaped. Every time he… does what he does, it’s like he’s chipping away at who we thought we were. And his cock, it’s like it’s designed to remind us of that every damn second.”

    Tim added, “It’s not just about fucking. It’s about the control he has. How he can make me… react, even when I don’t want to. It’s like my body is betraying us, all because of that… thing.”

    Michael sighed, his voice heavy with resignation. “I voted for Chance because I thought he’d restore order. I never imagined this kind of order. Now, we’re all learning lessons we never signed up for.”

    There was a moment of silence, each man lost in thought, the weight of their shared experience hanging between them. Alex broke it, “We’re all in this together, though. At least we know we’re not alone in this… in dealing with Marcus’s… you know.”

    Tim laughed, a bit of the tension releasing, “Yeah, we’re like the three musketeers of the Chance Social Deal. All for one and one big cock for all.”

    Discussing Marcus’s cock had become as normal as talking about the weather.

    ***

    Marcus Johnson, the embodiment of their new life, lounged on the couch, his presence dominating the room as he waited for the evening’s entertainment to begin.

    “Gentlemen, time for a group session. Let’s see how well you’ve all learned to handle this,” Marcus said, his voice thick with irony and anticipation. He stood, his imposing figure casting an even longer shadow, his cock already hardening at the thought of what was to come. Michael, Alex, and Tim gathered, a mix of dread and reluctant curiosity on their faces.

    They knew what was coming, each having experienced Marcus’s dominance in their own way, but together, it was a new level of humiliation.

    Marcus wasted no time. “On your knees, all of you,” he commanded, his voice leaving no room for dissent. Reluctantly, they complied, the three men kneeling in a row, a stark contrast of pale skin against Marcus’s dark complexion.

    He started with Michael, pushing him against the wall, his hands firm and demanding. “Open up, Mr. Smith. Time to service the big black cock you’re so afraid of,” Marcus taunted, his voice dripping with vulgarity. He unzipped, his cock springing free, its size a constant reminder of their new hierarchy. Michael complied, his mouth stretching around Marcus’s girth.

    Marcus thrust into Michael’s mouth, each movement punctuated by a grunt of pleasure.

    Pulling out from Michael’s mouth, glistening with saliva, Marcus turned his attention to Alex. He grabbed Alex by the shoulders, bending him over the couch. “Your turn, boy. Let’s see if you can handle this better than your old man,” he said, his cock pressing against Alex’s entrance without preamble.

    “Feel that, Alex? That’s real power, not the weak shit you’re used to,” Marcus growled, his movements becoming more aggressive, his cock fully dominating Alex’s tight hole. Alex’s moans were a mix of protest and involuntary pleasure, his body betraying his mind under Marcus’s relentless assault.

    Not content with just one, Marcus then moved to Tim, who was still trying to process what he’d just witnessed. “Come here, little Timmy. Let’s see if you’ve learned anything from your big bro,” Marcus said, his voice laced with mockery. He positioned Tim on all fours, his cock still slick from Alex, now pressing against Tim’s ass. Tim whimpered, the size and presence of Marcus’s cock an intimidating force.

    “Relax, or it’ll only hurt more,” Marcus advised, though there was little kindness in his tone. He entered Tim with a grunt, his cock stretching him, filling him in ways he’d never imagined. “Damn, you’re tight. Guess all that video game playing didn’t prepare you for this, huh?” Marcus laughed, his thrusts deep, each one drawing out a sound from Tim that was a cocktail of pain and something he didn’t want to acknowledge.

    Marcus switched between them, his cock moving from one to the other, the room filled with the sounds of flesh against flesh, their moans, and his grunts of satisfaction. “Look at you all, lined up for my big black cock. This is what your president wanted, huh? A bunch of white boys learning their place,” he taunted, his movements never ceasing, his cock a constant, demanding presence.

    “Here it comes, boys. Your daily dose of black seed,” he announced, his voice thick with pleasure. He released, his cum painting over their faces and their bodies.

    The room was silent except for their heavy breathing, the smell of sex and sweat thick in the air. Marcus looked down at them, his cock still semi-erect, a symbol of his control. “Remember, this is your life now. You might as well get used to it,” he said, his voice now devoid of any humor, just a statement of fact.

  • Revenge of the gay master

    Internet mistake.

    I am an idiot. But that was last week. Now I’m the property of a kinky gay Master. He uses me for his enjoyment every night. He likes to punish me for being homophobic and rude.

    I thought my replies to some of the weird gay and trans posts were anonymous.  I guess they aren’t. I was being pretty rude. I think trans people and gays are weirdos and mentally fucked up. I especially dislike crossdressers, drag queens and trans gender freaks. And I wasn’t shy about letting them all know. Fuck them.

    I got an email from a guy interested in meeting me. He said he has a job offer. i do odd jobs in the yard and small remodels on the side. I sent to his home to look over the place and give him a bid. 

    Chuck met me at the front door. He invited me and we chatted about the fence he wanted built. I told him I don’t do fences. He should have known that. I just wasted my morning driving across town for nothing. As I was drinking his coffee, he told me I had wasted some of his time as well. He said he had to spend a lot of extra time deleting my posts on the platform. 

    Suddenly it all came to me. I know who this guy is now! But it was too late. The shit he put in the coffee kicked in. The last thing I remember was him asking me if I was homophobic fuck who made all those rude remarks. 

    I woke up and everything was fine. I was home in bed and the whole thing felt like a bad dream. I checked the clock and got up. I felt funny. Different. What was in that coffee? How did I get home? Was that real?

    “What the fuck!?’ In the bathroom mirror was a woman looking back at me. And not a very pretty one. But she had tits and a woman’s face and long hair and everything. I reached down into my shorts expecting something wrong, but my cock was still there. I was interrupted by the doorbell. 

    I looked in the closet and it was full of women’s clothes. I put on a pull over dress and answered the door. It was Chuck. 

  • Sampson Slavery Laws

    Zac

     

    The four Masters Walk into gated community still drunk from the night before. They are exhausted and starting to feel a little hung over. Joe opens the door to their home and the four guys walk in and sit tiredly down on the sofa’s.

    ‘What a night that was. I don’t even know how many times I had my dick sucked’ Pat said. His hair is a mess from the night before and he has bags under his eyes.

    ‘That’s what happens when you help bring two criminals to justice. You preformed a public service and the state has rewarded you. You deserved it. Let’s have one more beer before we wake up the slaves to make us breakfast’ Zac said to Rob’s three Masters. Carl offers to get the beers and walks to the kitchen.

    The four Masters sip their beers in a comfortable silence. Carl thinks of the night before. Owens bar was full of naked slaves. He had his dick sucked at least five times. Pat and Joe probably a lot more. He feels woozy from the amount of drink he has consumed.

    ‘Well, I have to ask you guys a serious question’ Zac says. The three Masters look worried.

    ‘Oh shit, a serious question, I don’t like serious questions’ Pat says while laughing. This seems to lower some of the tension in the room.

    ‘How do you feel now that you know Rob was tricked into this. Will you release him now. Or keep your slave.’ Zac asked a question that none of them had even considered. Robs three Masters looked at each other.

    ‘No way, he is our slave now. He was always an asshole and let’s be fair who would give away a slave. Its financially bad approach. I feel bad for Rob but he is our property now’ Pat says. Joe nods his agreement. Carl gives half a smile that seems forced.

    ‘That is the right judgement. Slaves can’t readjust to the free world so it would be cruel to let him free now. Speaking of our slaves, I need to return Tyler to Tanner and then get some sleep, lets wake them’ Zac said. They all sank their beers and walked towards the basement.

    Pat opened the door and turned on the lights. They walked down the stairs all of them trying not to stumble in their drunken state. All four freemen’s eyes went wide as they noticed an empty cage. Sprayed on the wall are the words fuck you guys, especially you Pat, in red spray paint.

    Rob

     

    They drove through the night. They were still naked in the back of the van. He wasn’t sure if he felt free or not. He still looked like a slave. He is still naked and following orders. He knows the Kingdom and Canada harbours slaves and gives them their freedom back.

    He thinks of his Masters. He wonders what their reaction will be when they notice him missing. Will they be angry or sad. He would like to think at least a part of them will be sad. He has no doubt they will be coming after him. They will probably know they are heading for the Kingdom.

    He looks at Tyler and at Todd who are as silent as ever. He is happy that none of the modifications at his Masters disposal are currently activated. He could be needing to pee right now but unable to or have a complete hard on.

    The door to the van opens. Max, Jordan and Troye are stood there. They look very tired. They likely took turns driving throughout the night. The sun is rising and the air is cooler. They climb out of the van. Rob’s legs are cramped from sitting in the back of the van for so long. 

    ‘We are going to reverse some of your modifications. We can only do a couple but they will make a huge difference. Follow us’ Jordan said. The three slaves looked at each other and then followed the three free men. The way Jordan said it made it sound like an order.

    They are in a desolate part of some town. It definitely isn’t as nice a town as the one they just came from. Rob wonders how far they have travelled and how close to the Kingdom they are. They walk toward a rundown factory and enter through a side door.

    They walk through the dark factory. Jordan and Max are holding flash lights. Rob can’t help but feel like this is a scene from a horror movie. He has been afraid quite often since his enslavement but this is a different type of fear. They enter a room at the end of a long corridor.

    Two men are stood there wearing lap coats. The room is in much better condition than the rest of the factory. It looks a lot like a doctor’s office. There is equipment and medicine on shelves and a bed in the centre of the room. 

    ‘This is Toni and Finn. They took part in the Civic Experiment. Toni is the only one to release his slave. They flew home, used their money to attend university. They are shocked of the part they played in slavery being reintroduced. They returned here to try and help free the enslaved’ Jordan explained.

    Rob looked closer at them. The Civic Experiment is well documented. Some of the buildings that it took place in are now museums. The two guys do look vaguely familiar to him but they certainly aren’t as famous as Zac or Tyler who seemed to get the most media attention.

    ‘Hello Rob and Todd, it’s nice to meet you.  Tyler good to see you again. I hope your treatment wasn’t too harsh. But I suspect It was not very enjoyable for you’ Toni said while putting a hand on Tyler’s shoulder. Tyler just looked down.

    ‘We are going to start by removing your piercings. This will be painless. We could remove your collar and restraints but Jordan believes its safer to have them on until you arrive at the Kingdom. If the slave police happen to pull you over you must still act enslaved’ Finn the former slave said.

    Finn walked over to Tyler with a small device and put it towards his body. Tyler flinched. Finn then hugged him and told him not to worry he won’t hurt him. He then used the device to remove the left nipple ring from his body and let it fall to the floor. Finn removed Tyler’s piercings and then moved to Todd.  

    ‘Your turn Rob’ Finn said. Rob never thought he would see his body without all the piercings. Finn was right in what he said to Tyler it didn’t hurt as each ring was removed. He watched as his nipple rings, nose ring and the ring around his balls fell to the ground. He felt more naked weirdly.

    ‘The device I used on you is cutting edge. A silly pun sorry, but what I mean is it will repair any potential scaring. Not even the best doctor in the world could tell you were ever pierced’. Rob looked to Tyler and noticed a mall tear roll down his face. 

    ‘The last two modifications. Are for Tyler and Todd. Tyler we can reverse the silencer Tanner has on you and Todd we can grow back your tongue. Tanner did great work developing these drugs and Finn and I did an even better job creating an antidote’.

    Tyler and Todd looked at each other in amazement. Rob wasn’t sure if it was happiness or dread. They both looked conflicted. He wonders when either of them last had choice over whether they spoke or not. He hasn’t heard them speak since he met them.

    ‘We will start with you Tyler. Your modification is controlled by your chip. The same chip you got at the start of the Civic Experiment.’ Finn said he took a pad from the desk and pressed a few keys. He waited a few moments and then looked at Tyler.

    ‘Hello. Oh, it worked. I can speak’ Tyler said a huge smile washing over his face.

    ‘How long has it been since you last spoke’ Finn asked.

    ‘Only about a month. Jordan would come to the shed sometimes and deactivate the silencer and allow me to speak. Thank you for that Jordan and thank you all for what you have done.’ Tyler said sincerely. Jordan just nodded at him.

    ‘Now to Todd, we had done this procedure a few times. It will hurt as your tongue regrows. It may take you a while to get used to it as well. It will feel like your mouth is full and will feel unnatural. This with time will pass. I promise you’ Finn said.

    Finn walked over and took out a syringe. Since Rob had met Todd, he has never seen any emotion on his face but he knows looked terrified. Finn told him to open his mouth and Todd seemed to hesitate. After a moment he opened his mouth. Finn injected him and then dropped the syringe in the thrash.

    Todd’s eyes went wide. He brought his hand to his mouth put Finn pulled them away. He then started to struggle and Toni walked over and pulled his hands behind his back. Todd’s mouth was open. Rob could see his tongue regrowing slowly then more quickly until it was fully formed.  

    ‘Don’t try and speak for a while. Just move your tongue around your mouth get used to using it. Roll it around. When I tell you, you can try to speak for the first time in a long time’ Finn said. Todd sat down on the bed in the middle of the table and looked conflicted.

    “There is one last modification for you three. Tyler, I think you will appreciate this the most. So much was taken from you this may seem the silliest to some. This is the Phillips procedure created by DR T Phillips a prominent person trying to have the slavery laws reversed, stand in front of the mirror”.   

    Tyler stood in front of the mirror. A small injection was inserted into Tylers neck. He felt his body tingle. He looked at himself in the mirror as requested. Then it began, his hair started to grow. His pubes, leg hair, arm pit hair and the hair on his head. His hair grew long. The way it was before the Civic Experiment.

    “Dr Phillips made this especially for you. It was tailored to bring back your hair to a specific length and style. Sorry Rob and Todd you will have to wait for your hair to grow back naturally and style it how you like” A small grin came across Tylers face that soon turned into a smile. He quickly shook it off.

    ‘May I speak Sir?’ Tyler asked looking at Jordan.

    ‘You don’t have to call me Sir anymore and you don’t have to ask permission to speak’ Jordan responded.

    ‘Why me? There are so many other slaves that you could have released with less risk. I’m partly the reason why slavery got reintroduced. If I didn’t fall asleep at the wheel and crash the truck, there may be no slavery’ Tyler asked. Jordan looked remorseful before he spoke. He put his hand on Tyler’s shoulder.

    ‘None of this is your fault. You didn’t fall asleep at the wheel. When you were given the truck Tanner whispered into your ear. A trick he has done with many others. He ordered you to drive that truck into Capital Hall. I’m sorry’ Jordan said while turning away from Tyler.

    ‘So, all this time, all the hatred towards me. When I am on the streets people spit at me far more than they do to normal slaves. I have been made out to be a terrorist. It has all being done by Tanner. Is that what you are telling me?’ Tyler asked shocked by what he just heard.

    ‘Yes, I am sorry. I didn’t know until after the fact but yes. Jordan said looking very guilty. Todd looked like he was trying to speak. He moved his lips but noting came out. Finn handed him a bottle of water. Todd took it and drank the entire bottle in one go.

    ‘Does Zac know about this?’ Tyler asked clearly getting more and more angry.

    ‘Not that I know of but Tanner doesn’t tell me everything’ Jordan replied. Todd again tried to speak. He was struggling but then he stood up. He looked very sad but determined.

    ‘One day me and Zac are going to have a very interesting conversation’ Tyler says while running his fingers through his hair.

    ‘I’m the odd one out. Tyler and Rob were tricked into slavery. Not me, I deserved what I got. The crime I committed was me. I did it and then I hid. I let Max take the blame for me. I don’t deserve this freedom. I should be taken back to Zac’ Todd said, the words were hard to understand as he said them.

    Max walked over to Todd and stood in front of him. He looked into his eyes. Todd looked away. Max brings his hands to Todd’s face and turns it so they are once again making eye contact. Todd begins to cry and tries to look away again.

    ‘Yes, you did commit those crimes but you don’t deserve this, nobody does. What you did to me. You have paid for by now. I can’t speak for Zac the crime you did to him is far worse. I want you to know though, for what you did to me. I forgive you’ Max said. Todd looked away from Max. He didn’t know what to say.

    ‘You can’t go back to Zac. You heard the part he played with Rob. What you can do is come with us. Help other slaves wrongfully enslaved. Then when this is all over. If we win. You can be punished in a proper court of law for what you did’ Max says.     

    Finn came over and handed the three slaves some clothes. They are pretty plain. The slaves look at the freemen in shock. They just stand there holding the clothes without moving. Rob looks at Jordan who nods. He gets dressed for the first time since Carl stripped him naked.

    ‘How does it feel to be wearing clothes’ Troye asked. Rob felt itchy and uncomfortable. Wearing clothes seemed somewhat unnatural to him now.

    ‘It feels a bit unusual’ Rob admitted.

    ‘Follow us. We are making the final part of the Journey to the Kingdom,’ said Max. The former slaves followed Max, Troye and Jordan through the factory and outside. They walked up to sewer grate. Max bent down and opened it up.

    ‘The military and slave police are on the streets on this side of the wall. We can evade them by taking the sewers’ Max said while Troye and Jordan climbed down the hole. Rob didn’t want to go into the sewers but he knew freedom awaited.

    They walked for an hour through the dirty sewers. Rob was relieved that he was not barefoot for this part. Nobody really spoke during the walk. The silence was deafening. They eventually arrived at a metal wall. It looked very thick.

    Max took out his phone and pressed a few buttons. Nothing happened. Jordan and Troye looked worried but Max seemed unconcerned. A sound game from Max’s phone and then the metal wall started to move up. Max walked to the entrance and turned and look at the rest of the group.  

    ‘Welcome to the Kingdom’

     

    Bryce

     

    Transformed into a dog. The judge’s words echoed through Bryce’s head. He didn’t even know what it meant. He didn’t notice as a leg spreader was attached to his feet and his hands cuffed behind his back. He was marched out of the court room and towards the slave processing plant.

    He felt so regretful of all the actions himself and Jack had done. None of it was his idea. Why did he follow Jack the way he did. It was because he wanted to suck Jacks cock. He felt if he did what he wanted then maybe it would give him a chance.

    Now however he was being m​arched naked through the streets to be transformed. What could that mean. He was sure he would soon find out. Would he ever see Jack again. The man he lusted after. He was only separated from him for mere moments but he already missed his friend. 

    The walk to the processing plant was long. He tried to put the events of the last couple of days out of his mind. The amount of people that now saw him naked was unbelievable. But he was starting to think he deserved what was coming.

    He didn’t know which punishment was worse. Jacks or his. He will be the first person to ever undergo this procedure so he had no frame of reference to judge it. What does transform into a dog mean, will he be forced to wear a collar who knows.

    He was being escorted by Conor. The older brother who leads to his demise. Conor pulled him by the leash connected to his collar. He remembered what he did to Brian and Conor all on Jacks suggestion. Conor was taking no pity on him.

    When they eventually arrived at the processing plant his legs were tired and he was dripping sweat. He had passed this building a hundred times but had never been inside. He was always curious as to what it looked like inside but didn’t want to find out this way.

    He was brought through the front lobby of the facility. It is a very sterile building. All the walls are white including the floorboard. The ground feels cold on his bare feet as he waddles with the leg spreader restricting his movement. He is directed through a door at the end of a long corridor.

    ‘This is where I leave you bitch. Oh, and you will understand the meaning of the name bitch all too well’ Conor said as he was pushed through the door. Stood in the middle of the room was Dr Tanner Sampson along with a man he didn’t recognise.

    ‘Hello Bryce. This is my cousin Owen. He is helping me out today. We have had an unfortunate event occur. Usually, I would have a slave help process you. But I promise he is very skilled in what he does and has much experience’ Tanner said. 

    Bryce was pulled to the middle of the room by his leash. He felt so nervous. His heart was pounding in his chest. He knew this was it, the end of his former live and the beginning of a new one. He noticed Tanner setting up a machine. A tall metal tube about 7 feet high.

    ‘OK, let’s begin. You will be the first person to undergo this procedure, but fret not it is very safe’ the doctor said to Bryce.

    ‘Is it going to hurt’ Bryce asked forgetting he shouldn’t speak out of turn.

    ‘Not overly, I suppose it’s your pride that will hurt more. The first job is to shave your head. I know you love those long locks but so did one of your victims. You didn’t really think twice before you denied him of them now did you?’ Tanner started the electric razor and smiled slightly.

    Bryce loved his long hair as Brian did. While he didn’t shave Brian’s hair, he didn’t stop it either. He just followed Jack like always. He watched as his hair fell to the ground in clumps. His beautiful hair gone. If this is the worst thing that happened to him to day, he would be happy.

    ‘Sweep it up carefully and take it to the groomers, tell them to process it immediately’ Tanner said to Owen. Tanners’ cousin carefully scooped up the hair and exited the room. Bryce wondered what they wanted with his hair.

    ‘OK, now for the rest of you. Please step into the machine’ Tanner said while motioning to the metal tube in the middle of the room. He removed the leg spreader and collar as Bryce was about to enter the tube. He attached goggles over Bryce’s eyes and locked them in place.

    Bryce assumed his body hair was about to be removed. Most people prefer a slave that is hairless. He didn’t like the sensation of not being able to see but was happy his eyes would be protected. He heard the machine start and then a moment later what felt like steam surrounded his body. 

    It stung at first but the pain was not too bad. He could feel his body hair falling away as he moved his hands over his body. The steam stopped and then disappeared. A humming sound came and he started to feel the tube heat up and the moisture on his body dry.

    The same sound from the machine started again. Bryce imagined it takes two attempts to remove all the hair. This time it felt different. The same moisture but it felt somehow thicker and slimier. It went on a lot longer this time maybe an hour of him standing there naked and blindfolded.

    When the machine stopped the heat began again drying all moisture from his body. The heat felt surprisingly good. He imagined this could be a machine at a spa for relaxation. It was making him feel sleepy. The door opened to his disappointment and he was led out of the machine.

    ‘It worked perfectly’ Owen said. What worked perfectly Bryce pondered. He was directed still blind to a different room. This room felt colder than the last. He felt hands behind his back cuffing them shut.

    ‘OK, there are going to be a few injections now. They won’t hurt too much just a little prick. Like you are’. His mouth was forced open and he felt a sharp pain on his tongue. Then his tongue began to go numb. It felt like it was growing in his mouth. He felt drool fall down his body.

    He felt something going through his nose. This one did hurt. It was sharp and painful and he realised that his nose had just being pierced. A cold metal object was passed through it. He wished so much that he could see what was being done to him.

    He then felt something being applied to nipples. It smelt like alcohol. Then his left nipple had the same sharp pain. His right nipple followed and he realised again both had been pierced. His scrotum was next he expected it to be pierced but instead he felt an injection.

    His dick felt like it was going soft. It had been hard ever since he was marched out of the court room. Would this be the last time he was ever hard he wondered. He felt another injection just beside his left temple. This one hurt the most.   

    ‘OK, there is an only a few more injections but we want you to see yourself while you are still able to stand’ Dr Sampson said to him. What does he mean by that. Bryce then felt cold hands behind his head unbuckling and removing the blindfold. He was stood in front of a mirror and gasped.

    The most immediate thing he noticed was the lack of colour. Everything was black and white. Was he colour blind. His nose and nipples were pierced with a big ring going through them. He was bald, his eyebrows were gone but none of that is what made him gasp. 

    He expected to see no body hair and indeed he had no body hair. Now however it looked like his body was painted with fur. His whole body looked like it was covered in dog fur a similar colour to his old head hair. He was in pure shock.

    ‘Ah, we were wondering what would shock you the most or what your attention would be drawn to first. I bet the body dye. It looks identical to fur I know and it is permanent. I know you look like a dog standing up straight but that won’t be for long.’ Tanner taunted.

    Bryce tried to speak but couldn’t his eyes have darted to his tongue. It had become thinner and increased in length. It now flopped about three inches out from its mouth. Drool was forming on it. He tried as best he could to talk but couldn’t he could move his tongue but not speak.

    ‘Oh, wow you’re really lost the bet, not even second prize. You were sure it would be his dick he noticed first’ Owen said to Tanner. They both laughed and Tanner petted Bryce’s head like a dog. 

    Bryce scanned down to look at his dick but it wasn’t there. He could just see the tiniest of nubs and a piss slit. His balls hung down in their usual position. They looked bigger than normal next to no dick. Where is my dick he tried to say but no words escaped his mouth. Instead, it sounded like barking.

    He was in a daze as they made two injections to either wrist, His hands started to clamp and close into fists. He tried to open them but it was impossible. He was then forced to his knees and the doctor walked behind making another injection into his feet.

    He felt his feet curling up. It wasn’t panful it felt like a slight cramp. He was now on his knees, his elbows keeping him from slumping to the ground, hands clamped shut feet, curled making it impossible to stand. If this was permanent, he would be forced to crawl everywhere.

    ‘OK’, one last surprise’ Tanner said as Owen handed him a butt plug with hair hanging from one end. It looks like a dog tail.

    ‘This hair is the hair from your head, we have engineered so it will last for many years. We also used its colouring to make the fur on your body. All of this permanent. You will never walk again, never talk, never touch your dick again’ Tanner added.

    ‘Conor chose this last injection. He said it was very appropriate’. DR Tanner said as he made an injection into his ball sack. Bryce could feel himself becoming extremely horny. He had an incredible urge to cum, like a dog in heat. Or a bitch in heat.

    ‘This injection will leave you constantly horny, however with no dick you won’t be able to cum. It won’t stop you from trying. The modification will make you want to hump everything all the time. You will act like a wild dog, no matter what you hump you won’t be able to cum’  

    A collar was attached to his neck and he was walked back in front of the mirror. Bryce looked at himself. He knows understood the judge’s words. He had just been transformed into a dog. He felt so pathetic. He was now a dog.   

    Jack

     

    Jack the humiliator was now utterly humiliated. He watched as Bryce was being dragged out of the court room by Conor. Now stood in front of him is Brian. The free man who has received the worst treatment from Jacks actions.

    He was going to be auctioned off and sold to highest bidder. Sentenced to slavery for the rest of his life. His new Master whoever it will be will own him and can make any modifications they want. The auctions he has being at usually has brothel owners win the bidding war.

    Jack knew with his body that brothel owners will bid heavily for him. Spending the rest of his life having horny men off all ages fucking him on a nightly basis didn’t appeal to him. Most of the slaves in the brothels get sold on to someone from oversees a year later. Jack was now very regretful of his actions.

    Brian walked over to Jack and told him to open his mouth, he popped a pill into his mouth and held up a glass of water and ordered him to swallow. Within moments his dick started to grow. He had never seen it this big before. 

    Brian walked behind him and inserted a butt plug into his ass. The five other sentenced slaves all had butt plugs inserted into their asses. Brian then attached Jacks hands to his collar so they were constantly raised. Jack knew he was about to do the slave walk as free men called it.

    A small ring was placed behind his balls with a chain that hung from it. The six slaves were set up in a single line. They were all erect and the chain that hung from their balls was attached to the butt plug of the slave in front of them. Jack was fifth in line. The slaves then all had leg spreaders attached to their feet.

    ‘I need to pee, can I before we start’ The slave behind Jack asked one of the slave police. The officer used his small taser to give the slave a shock on his ass. Jack could hear the slave at the front sobbing. He was determined himself to not cry in front of the freemen.

    ‘March’ ordered Brian who was enjoying the power temporarily imposed on him.

    The six slaves marched down the street. They waddled as they walked. The leg spreader made it impossible to move quickly. Jack was so horny but with every step he made his balls were being pulled by the slave’s ass in front of him. He is in a lot of pain.

    The pain takes his mind off the humiliation. As normal with a slave walk there is a crowd to watch them. He sees a rotten tomato fly through the air and hit his chest. Juice rolls down his hairless chest and down his dick. He can’t recall how many slaves he threw fruit at when he was a free man.

    The walk is uncomfortable. The pain almost unbearable, he feels like things can’t get and worse and then he feels it. A warm liquid hitting his upper back. At first, he is confused and then realised the erect slave behind his has started to piss. He is naked, balls chained to a butt plug of the slave in front, getting pissed on in public.   

    They arrive at the auction house. Jack is surprised at how happy he is to be here. Soon he will be in doors out of the view of the public. The slaves are directed inside and unchained from each other. They are directed into a room with six circles pained on the floor boards. Each slave is walked to one of the circles.

    Jack’s arms are uncuffed from his collar and attached to a chain above his head. After a moment the circle below the six slaves disappears and they are hanging in the air. Their bodies then start to lower through the hole. As Jack is lowered, he can see lights and hundreds of people staring at him.

    ‘Ladies and gentlemen for the next hour you can view and inspect the property for sale and then we will begin the auctions’.

    Jack hung there as various people came up and groped him, they felt his ass balls, almost every part of his body. These are the people who are about to bid on him. He felt so humiliated then to his horror, two potential bidders walked up to him. It was Clay and his father.

    Clay laughed as he saw the look in Jacks face. He inserted a finger into Jacks mouth and inspected his mouth. Jack hated this part the most of all he had being through since Conor had taken his freedom. Clay and his father stepped away discussing something Jack couldn’t make out.

    Jack then felt his arms being raised and himself and four of the other slaves went back up through the holes they had just being lowered though. Jack knew that the first slave was about to be auctioned and it wouldn’t take long before it was his turn.

    He waited in fear as the three slaves that were ahead of him were lowered. He just had to wait for their auctions to be over. He stood there naked with his hard dick sticking out and his arms chained above his head before eventually he was lowered for his auction. He felt like property.

    He looked at the crowd in front of him all holding small paddles with various numbers on them. Clay was sat at the front with his father Martin. He couldn’t believe he was thinking this but all he wanted was to be bought by a brothel owner now. He didn’t want Clay to be his new owner.

    ‘Let the bidding begin’ the auctioneer screamed into his microphone.

    The bidding started fast; it seemed almost everyone wanted to own Jack. Hanging naked, he scanned the crowd trying to see who was trying to buy him. A few men from overseas, he assumed, were bidding heavily. He was happy to see Clay and his father had yet to bid. The feeling of relive was unbelievable.

    ‘This animal is a popular one, might set a record for the highest bid’ the actioner said as slapping Jacks ass.  The crowd cheered as Jacks body swung in the air from the slap.

    The biddings started to lessen as the money raised. There are now two bidders left. It’s a South African man, with his wife and a Japanese man in his sixties. Both bid a few more times. The money is getting high and the time between bids longer. After a high bid from the Japanese gentleman, there is silence.

    ‘OK, we have a record bid of $450,000. Going once, going twice’ and just as the judge was about to drop his gavel came another bid.

    ‘$600,000’ said Clays father Martin. The crowd gasped. Jack has now by far beaten the biggest bid for a slave and the bidding isn’t even done yet. The auctioneer looks to the South African couple, who look away and then the Japanese man who shakes his head.

    ‘Sold to the father and son from this very town. Now let’s get onto our last auction’. Jack can’t believe what he hears as his naked body is lifted back up through the hole for the second time in the last two hours. He stands chained, know he is awaiting his new master, Clay.

    Jack stood there with the four other sold slaves for about another thirty minutes before the sixth slave that pissed on him was brought back up. Some slave police then came in and unchained all the slaves. Jack was escorted into a slave van and driven to the processing plant. He is exhausted.

    As Jack arrived at the processing plant, he thought of Bryce for the first time in hours he wondered what has happened to him. He is brought through the processing plant and to a room that is all white. Dr Sampson is stood there with Jordan.

    ‘It’s being a long day so we are going to process you quickly. We just need your new owner to inform us of the modifications you will receive’ Tanner said.

    Clay walked into the room, the smile on his face made Jacks head drop. He walked over to his former employee and now slave. He slapped him across his face and spat at him. He tugged on his balls before kissing Jack.

    ‘So, have you decided on what modifications you desire?’ Clay nodded to Dr Tanner Sampson.

    ‘Yes Doctor, thank you. Modification 1, the slave will have breast implants. 2, the slaves’ teeth will be removed I want him to be an expert cock sucker. 3 The slave will have his dick removed and the penis embalmed’ Clay said smiling.

    Jacks head was spinning as he heard the modifications he was about to undergo. He barely noticed as Owen lead him to another room and sat him down. He injected Jack with a needle in his neck and Jacks world went dark he slumped over and Owen prepared him for his operation.

    Three weeks later

     

    Jack woke up for the first time with a clear head. He had spent the last three weeks, drifting in and out of sleep as his body recovered from the procedures. Dr Sampson helped him to his feet. He felt shaky and different but didn’t know why. He was brought in front of a mirror and got to see his new self.

    He looked in horror, he knows had large breasts, he looked down to his crotch and noticed his dick was gone. His head dropped and he noticed something hanging from his collar. It was his dick. It was as a big and the last time he saw it. There are clamps both side of the embalmed dick.

    Clay walked into the room with a leash in his hand. He walked over to Jack and looked into his eyes. Jack was frozen in place. Clay lifted Jacks dick from his collar and shoved it in his mouth. He attached the clamps holding his own dick in his mouth.

    ‘Let’s go slave, I hope you enjoy sucking your own dick, you will be doing it a lot. Now let me introduce you to your new life’.

  • Parent’s Torture

    • Isaac – 19 years old (POV) 
    • Joshua – 18 years old

    (Isaac’s POV)

    After me and Josh were tortured by mom and dad, why don’t we give them the karma they deserve. Mom and Dad left for work, Dad is a craftsman—so he probably was the one to  set up the restraints and table last night, while Mom is a veterinarian. We had to come up with a plan to make sure they don’t suspect a thing. Then Josh came up with something genius. “How about we call in some backup?” And that was brilliant, Mom and Dad would never suspect more people were here to torture them.

    So me and Josh called our friends to join in and most of them said yes. It was time to set it up before they get back in a few hours. Luckily, we all lived on the same street. 

    A few hours later…

    “Kids! We’re home!” Dad called. “Come on, give Mom and Dad a kiss.” Mom said. Then they had noticed all the lights were off except for the basement. They went down to check and saw us waiting there. “What are you guys doing down here?” Dad asked. “Oh you know, just checking out the—NOW!” Within seconds, me, Josh, and our friends tackled and stripped them down and pinned them to the tables but added a few parts because they were too small. Then we layed and strapped them from head to toe. 

    “The fuck! Kids what are you guys doing?! And who are these people doing in my house?” Dad exclaimed. Without giving them an answer we started torturing them. But we didn’t tickle them because they are not as young as us. But they still have something to have fun with. We all stripped down. Me and a few of our friends started stroking Dad’s cock and massaging his balls while the others licked on mom’s clit and sucked on her nipples. “F-fuck! Sl-slow down you’re gonna break my fucking d-dick!” He groaned as he felt the pleasure rushing through his body. While Mom was moaning from the sensations. 

    We spiced things up a bit. We inserted a vibrating wand front he box and placed it directly on Mom’s vagina. Then we grabbed a hair tie and tied it around Dad’s balls and put a cock ring on it. “Ah! Hunghh!” Mom’s moans and Dad’s grunts started to get me, Josh, and out friends real horny. Our girl friends went to dad and sat on his face and rode his cock—and it was massive , about 8 and a half inches, thick too. While the guys fucked her mouth and breasts. “Fuck! I’m cumming!” Dad groaned as he released inside one of the girls. Then we cummed all over Mom and she had an orgasm.

    Now we switched places because we obviously would know about our own parts. We fucked all the cum out of him and tortured the sensitive cock and balls. He was spazing out all over begging for us to stop. The girls squeezed Mom’s breast and fingered her cunt. Then they cummed and orgasmed a second time. We were all panting and laying on the floor. “Damn you guys! It’s not cool that you guys brought back up.” Dad said. “Yeah! It was brutal.” Mom sighed. 

    We layed there until our friends dressed up and left. While us there sitting on the floor. Dad said, “You guys want round two or foursome?” Then we said “Hell yeah! Mom are you joining?” “I’m too tired, you go on and do what you wanna do. I’m just gonna take a nap.” “Well who wants to be fucked first?” Dad asked. “Actually, I have a better idea!” I said. Josh knelt on all fours and dad fucked his ass and while he sucked dy cock. “Ahh! Damn bro, you know how to suck a dick, cocksucker!” I said proudly. “Ah! You’re tight as fuck son. How does it feel?” Dad groaned. “Her probably can’t handle it, like we saw how big it is!” I shouted. Then we all cummed and had a huge mess. We all got cleaned up and he’d to bed. I wonder what will we do next?

  • Academic Desire

    I flipped open my notebook and stared at the blank page. I had left my laptop at home quite by accident and now I was paying the price. I’d had to make a dash to the student union bookstore to grab a notebook and a pen. I felt like ancient man as I scribbled the date at the top of the page.

    I was third year, working toward my sociology degree, but this class, Sociology of Sexualities, was kicking my ass. Which is funny considering how damned gay I am.

    I tapped my pen on the notebook.

    I’m not overtly gay, in my opinion, but my friends tell me I can be clocked at forty paces. Which is ludicrous. Todd Lambert is nothing if not discreet. I grinned and smoothed away the creases of my pink button-down shirt and looked down, admiring my sparkly purple KEDS.

    Okay. Perhaps they were right.

    I leaned back and crossed my arms. The professor was late this morning. I checked my phone. It was already quarter past nine. I set my phone on the slim desk portion of my chair and pulled up the audio recording app. I would need it to record the lecture in case my notes turned out to be crap. I had some work ahead of me tonight. I preferred to have today’s notes on my laptop along with the rest of them. It would make life easier when it came to studying for exams.

    The door at the base of the lecture hall creaked open.

    The teacher’s assistant wandered in, flipping through notes as he approached the podium. He opened a laptop and fiddled about until some notes popped up on the screen behind him.

    Stepping around the podium, he cleared his throat, and the room fell silent.

    “Many of you may have heard already, but Professor Simms is no longer with us. He suffered a massive heart attack over the weekend and will not be coming back to lecture anytime soon.”

    A student rose to her feet. “Is he going to be all right?”

    The TA nodded. “They’re expecting a full recovery.”

    “Thank God.” The student sunk back into her seat. As she did so, the door to the lecture hall opened, and in strode a very interesting character. The word hippy immediately popped to mind. Long, flowing hair; grey at the temples. Neatly trimmed salt-and-pepper mustache and beard. Black jeans, black t-shirt, and navy-blue suit jacket. Beaded necklaces, and sandals.

    And fit—so deliciously fit.

    Fucking hot.

    I sat up straight in my seat. Now, I don’t have a type per se, but I find there’s something about a hot, gorgeous older man that sets my body tingling.

    And this guy was definitely doing that.

    “I’m Professor Ward, but you can call me Walter.” Walter looked out at the faces staring back at him then turned his attention to the laptop. The notes on the screen flitted about until he landed on what he was looking for. “I’m going to try to pick up where Professor Simms left off, but please let me know if I start in on any material you’ve covered already. I don’t like to be a bore.”

    I pursed my lips.

    Oh, you could bore me to tears anytime.

    As long as your hands are on me at the time.

    I shifted in my seat; my cock waking and taking notice of the handsome face making eye contact with each one of us. When his eyes fell on me, I couldn’t help but blush.

    His eyes were an incredible pale blue—and so expressive. They crinkled at the corners as he looked me over.

    The seductive smile I gave Walter must have amused him because he laughed softly to himself then moved on to the next student.

    I tucked the end of the pen between my teeth.

    I am such a tease.

    Walter began to speak about the first screen, so I pressed record on my audio app and started making notes on research methods used in the study of sexualities … while attempting to keep my eyes from rolling back in my head. Boring—so, so boring. At least his voice was interesting. Soft and mellow, like warm sun on your face through the window of a winter day.

    I could cuddle up to that.

    “Remember, the assignment is due on Thursday. That means it must be emailed to me by 11:59 pm. Not a moment later.” Walter tucked some papers into his carrier bag and flipped the flap closed, then began fussing with the laptop. Waiting for Walter to finish packing up, I made my way down the stairs to the front of the lecture hall and leaned against the podium.

    Walter looked over at him. “Is there something I can help you with?”

    “I just wanted to welcome you and introduce myself.” I held out my hand. “Todd Lambert. Trying my darndest to complete my sociology degree with a focus on gender studies.”

    Walter grasped my hand and shook it, nodding. The tingle returned. I was reluctant to let go. The professor’s hand; so gentle and smooth. I could imagine it caressing the skin between my thighs. Up over my belly—encasing my cock.

    I nearly moaned aloud.

    “Pleasure,” Walter replied after a seriously long pause.

    Damn right it was.

    Pleasurable was an understatement. The guy, probably thirty-five years my senior, was warming me through. I needed an excuse to return to his side.

    I tapped my pen on my tooth, then sucked the hot pink cylinder into my mouth. Walter was keeping an eye on me. I wasn’t sure it was interest or amusement, though.

    “I need a bit of help.” I lowered the pen. “I don’t have my laptop today … crazy morning, but I’m wondering if I could come by your office tomorrow.”

    “Is this to do with the assignment?”

    I tipped my head to one side. “Sure. We can call it that.”

    This time, it was Walter’s turn to blush. “Three … I can see you at three tomorrow.”

    I pursed my lips, then licked them—slow and easy. “I can’t wait.”

    I am such a whore.

    Honestly.

    I strode out of that lecture hall knowing I had planted a seriously obvious seed. If Walter didn’t know what I was inferring, he needed to brush up on his social cues.

    The sociology department was smaller than many others, so Professor Walter Ward’s office was easy to find. It was in an older part of the campus and had that old-world charm to it. All polished wood paneling and sky-high ceilings. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the offices had fireplaces.

    I looked down at my outfit. It wasn’t sedate. Pink hot pants and a white button-down shirt. Yesterday’s outfit hadn’t put Walter off. I undid the top button. This was sure to get his attention.

    I knocked on Walter’s door and waited.

    It popped open and Walter walked briskly away from the doorway. If I had to guess a cause of his haste, he was anxious. Anxiety produced by his day or by my arrival, I wasn’t sure. He needn’t have worried overly about me. I was looking to play the long game; reel him in slowly.

    He wouldn’t feel a thing.

    Until I got my hands on him.

    I plopped down in one of the chairs facing his desk and pulled out my laptop. I was there to glean some assistance from my professor—that was the ploy. I had already completed the assignment, but I could certainly use his input ahead of handing it in.

    “I’m not sure my research figures are right in this example.” I turned the computer to face him, then lifted it onto his desk as he had dropped into his chair.

    To his credit, Walter perked up, dispensing with the anxious state I had found him in, to look over my work. He scrolled through everything I had written. It was good work. Despite being distracted by the hot professor’s looks, I had been paying attention to what he was saying.

    “This looks good.” Walter pointed at the screen. “Review this, though. You’ve missed some crucial information in the summary.”

    “That’s great. Thank you.” I sank back into my seat. “That’s what I needed to hear. I’ve been struggling a bit this semester.”

    Walter tented his fingers and leaned forward onto his desk. “Come by anytime. If I’m not in a lecture, you can usually find me here.”

    I rose to my feet and leaned my hip against his desk. “Anytime?”

    Walter leaned back in his chair, smiling. “You’re not subtle, are you?”

    “Not when I see something I like.” I spun on my heel and went to retrieve my bag, intending to stuff my computer and other things that had dropped out back into it. I would make an appointment to see him next week, then head home to dream about what I wanted to do with him.

    Walter caught me by surprise when he touched my shoulder.

    “So … how does this usually work with you?” Walter brushed his hand from my shoulder down to my wrist. He swept his fingertips across my knuckles.

    “I don’t want any favors from you.” I turned to face him.

    “You’re not expecting this to affect your marks.” Walter gripped my chin, tipping my head back slightly to look up at him.

    “Not at all.”

    Walter released my chin then walked over and locked the door.

    Right now?

    My cock stirred, filling the small amount of space in my tight jeans.

    Hell, yeah, right now.

    I strolled toward him and wrapped my arms around his neck, running my fingers into his long locks. He was watching me with that same curious fascination he had enamored me with in the lecture hall. It was intoxicating. I smiled when he touched my cheek with the back of his fingers and brushed them across my skin, studying me as I’m positive my eyes lit up.

    The kiss was tentative. Measured. His lips soft—seductive; the tickle of his whiskers drawing me closer to him. I dove into him, capturing his life experience—offering up my youth.

    Walter groaned against my lips, filling my throat with sound. He turned me toward the desk and pressed my ass against it, his hands making their way to my lower back. He pulled me toward him and moved his hands lower, grabbing a handful of my flesh.

    I reciprocated the groan, exploring the taste of his tongue—mint, and coffee. I stroked my hands through his hair all the way to the ends. His strands of hair almost touched his ass. I grabbed a fistful and hung on tight, trusting Walter to keep me from falling back against the desk. His forefinger made a trip down the crease of my ass, sending me hole into spasm.

    Damn, I want him.

    He spun me to face the desk, surprising me with the abruptness. My pants and cute, purple lace G-string were around my ankles before I had time to think. The sound of his belt buckle rattling behind me had my cock standing at attention. Walter wasn’t wasting any time. He placed his hand in the center of my back and pushed me forward until my chest was resting on the mountain of papers littering his desk. He pushed into my hole without a moment of pause.

    I squeezed my eyes shut, swallowed the pain, and reached for the far side of the desk. My fingers nearly turned white as I hung on for dear life. His hips slammed against my ass, rocking my hard cock into the edge of the desk. I released my grip and slipped my hand down to reposition my cock beneath the lip of the desktop. My cockhead slid along the wood the next time Walter thrust into me, sending sparks exploding behind my eyes.

    A container of pens rattle—the old wooden desk legs creaked.

    Fuck me.

    Walter began hammering into me, causing my erection to wane somewhat. My guts were taking a pummeling. More. I wanted to spread my legs wider.

    I placed my hand on Walter’s hip to slow him.

    “Too much,” he whispered.

    “Never.” I pulled up on my pant leg hoping it would dislodge my shoe. Sensing what I was up to, Walter withdrew and reached down, yanked my shoes, socks, pants, and panties off, and tossed them toward the sofa in the center of the room.

    He slid back in as I bent my knees to take him in higher.

    There … that there.

    He rocked my insides, hammering against me, faster—harder. The world spun as I was being thoroughly used; the age difference amplifying the intensity. Age had not slowed Walter down any. The guy was as virile and demanding as any man I had ever been with.

    And so fucking gorgeous.

    Walter withdrew, causing my head to spin with regret. He turned me around and took my mouth, driving my cock to regain its rock-hard state. Releasing my mouth, he dropped to his knees, hands on my cock, and sucked me into his mouth, his tongue caressing my stiffening flesh.

    I clung to the front of the desk, throwing my head back.

    Yes … a thousand times, yes.

    I hadn’t been sure if Walter was straight or not. Maybe he was just wanting a piece of ass to get him through his day. His tongue action spoke otherwise. Either he had paid a lot of attention to when women sucked his cock, or he’d had plenty of experience.

    He startled me when he released my cock and rocketed back to his feet. His hands on my ass, he lifted me onto the desk and encouraged me to lie back. He lifted my legs, his hands wrapped around my thighs, and hauled me closer to the edge of the mahogany slab I was laid out on.

    His hands grasped me behind my knees, and nearly bent me in half, my ass hanging off the edge of the desk. He drove his cock back into me; the back of my head shifting the papers beneath it. I could feel the static building in my hair as he plunged in and out of my ass. My cock released a string of precum onto my pubes. I reached down, wanting to taste it.

    Walter’s eyes lit up as I tucked my fingers into my mouth, sucking on what my body had offered up. He opened his mouth. I hooked those same fingers behind his bottom teeth. He closed his lips around them, his tongue circling every fleshy pad. I drew my hand toward my mouth and sucked on each finger in turn, the taste of mint, coffee, and musk flooding my senses.

    He thrust harder, our exchange of body fluids driving him into a frenzy. Sliding—stroking my insides. Walter closed his eyes, grunting, and licked his lips. I reached down and grabbed my cock, stroking myself, assuming we were reaching the conclusion of our encounter. The way he was panting and swearing, it certainly looked as if he were about to cum.

    Yes, Daddy … fill me up.

    I prepared myself for the gush of warmth.

    Walter slowed and stroked his hands up under my shirt, pinching my nipples, allowing my legs to dangle at his sides. The position was hard on my back, arching my hips. I waited for him to pick up my legs again. He withdrew his cock instead.

    My eyes must have popped open with surprise because he smiled at me.

    “Sofa.” It was a single command uttered by Walter’s talented lips. I followed him over to the sofa. He dropped onto the worn leather. “Take your shirt off.”

    Full nudity it is then.

    I fumbled with the buttons on my shirt but finally managed to remove it. I tossed it toward the rest of my clothes that had slipped off the arm of the sofa onto the floor. Walter pulled his pants further down off his hips and onto his thighs, saving me from having his buckle scrap my backside. I straddled him, knees and the tops of my feet pressed into the leather, gripping his shoulders, and sunk back onto his cock as he held it in place.

    His fingers slipped away I descended, his palm fondling my balls as they retreated. His hand found its way onto my cock, stroking me. I leaned forward and kissed him, reveling in the feel of his whiskers scraping my chin and lips. I moaned into his mouth as I rose on his cock. My hole anxious to be filled again. To be pummeled into submission.

    I slammed back down, jolting my insides. Each stroke after that sublime, raising my body up and down on his cock. My fingers digging into his shoulders, I tipped my head back and closed my eyes. Walter’s lips found my throat, sucking, licking, and nipping at my skin.

    It nearly sent me over the edge. My cock was hard and hot, Walter’s hand pumping it harder now. I wanted to hold out until Walter was cumming. He was building toward it.

    I adjusted my angle, rocking my hips between each thrust, grinding, and dropping harder—faster with each thrust. Walter’s free hand swept down to my waist, his thumb on my belly.

    He brushed it across my skin, whispering how hot I was into my ear. I panted out a response. Not sure what. My mind was on fire—my thoughts jumbled.

    Walter’s hand gripped my ass, guiding me, his hips undulating beneath me. His cock pulsed inside me. He was close. I dug around under his shirt and found a nipple. I squeezed and twisted.

    Yes, baby.

    That’s all it took. Walter grunted and pumped me full of his warm cream; his hand stilling on my cock. I took over, beating it as the wildfire exploded within me.

    The first strand hit Walter’s chin, then his chest, then his belly. The rest drooled onto my hand and his pubes. Sticky and euphoric, I lifted my hand, offering it up to him. Walter was quick to suck each of my knuckles into his mouth, cleaning away my cum. The whole time he watched me, his gaze capturing mine. I couldn’t look away.

    But the show isn’t over.

    He was going to remember me.

    I climbed off and kneeled on the floor in front of him. I reached around to my ass and pushed what cum I could from my ass onto my fingers. I brought my hand back, showing him, playing the cum between my fingers. This would clinch it. He would want me back again.

    I circled each of my nipples with a cum-soaked finger, then opened my hand and spread every bit of the cum I had collected onto my chest. Without skipping a beat, I retrieved my shirt and slipped it back on—then buttoned up the front.

    Each finger found its way into my mouth until they were clean. Then I licked my lips, moaning softly. Walter had sat straight up in his seat, staring at me.

    He swallowed—hard.

    “I expect to see you again next week,” he said.

    I smiled. “Yes, I need all the help I can get.”

    Walter smirked. “That’s for damned sure.”

    The following week, I was back in Walter’s office for my tutoring session. And every subsequent week for the rest of the semester. I swear, he fucked me on every surface of that office.

    And when that wouldn’t do anymore, I started making my way to his house.

    And I’m still here.

    Two years later and he’s yet to tire of me. After I graduated with my degree, Walter asked me to move in with him. Our desire for one another has become much more than academic.

    And I couldn’t be happier.

    And more filled.

    I mean fulfilled—filled and fulfilled.

  • The Sin of the Fathers

    Goodbye

    I woke before the alarm went off.  I opened my eyes in the dark room to try to figure out what time it was.  To my left, Walt slept soundly.  I craned my head in his direction to try to see the hands of the electric clock on his nightstand.  I could see the clock, but not what time it was.  The room was too dark and the clockface didn’t glow like that of my old wind-up clock.

    I turned to my right to find myself staring into David’s hairy armpit.  At some point during the night, he’d raised his left arm to tuck his hand behind his head.  This left his pit on tantalizing display.  I found the opportunity irresistible.  I craned my head to put my face as close as I could to the ripe, hairy flesh.  I opened my mouth like I was a connoisseur of fine wine and huffed a deep breath through my nose.

    David’s scent was earthy and pungent.  I could smell the previous day on him as well as the exertions of our nightly activity.  I breathed it in again.  The aroma filled my head with arousal and sex.  I felt my cock stir and start to inflate.  I exhaled through my open mouth and drew another breath through my nose.

    A voice in the dark startled me.  “Law!”  It whispered.  “What are you doing?”

    The voice was David’s.  He’d either been awake or I’d accidently woken him with my lustful sniffing.  Since there wasn’t a single thing I could say to explain away what I’d been doing, I told the unvarnished truth.  “I’m smelling your armpit.”

    “Why?”  David asked.

    “Because I love the smell of men.”  I said.  With this truth uttered, I abandoned my restraint and rubbed my face into David’s pit.  I huffed his musk into my nose from the deepest part of the hollow under his arm.  The scent was heady and raw and a little rank.  I breathed it in again and again as my cock filled out and became solid.  I remembered David’s sensitive nipples and searched for the closest one with my fingers.  David gasped when I found it and breathed out a soft moan of pleasure.

    A second after David’s moan, the bed shifted behind me.  Another second later, the lamp on Walt’s nightstand came on.  “Love?”  Walt said as a question.

    “Yes.”  I answered into David’s armpit.

    “Perhaps you could get David to shift to the middle of the bed so we can share him.”  Walt suggested.

    I was happy to oblige Walt’s request and so was David.  I scrambled down the length of the bed and stood on the floor.  I pulled the bedclothes down to get them out of the way and to reveal David’s impressive body.  My old friend scooted to the middle of the mattress and split a curious gaze between Walt and me.  Walt raised both his arms and clasped his hands behind his head.  “Like this, David.”  Walt explained to tell David what position we wanted him in.

    David complied immediately.  Both Walt and I fell upon him.  Walt pressed his face into the pit I’d abandoned, and I pushed my face in the opposite one.  David’s other pit was even better smelling than the first because he’d been sleeping with that arm down.  The pit I worshipped was damp with nighttime sweat and rank with man scent.  I loved it!

    David gasped and moaned again.  I guessed Walt had found David’s nipple on his side.  I sought the one on my side and soon both my husband and I had David writhing from the stimulation of the sensitive nubs.

    I turned my face a bit so I could cast one eye over David’s heaving chest to where Walt was having his fun.  I caught Walt’s eye.  He grinned at me and lapped his thick tongue over David’s armpit.  David shivered between us from the strange sensation.  I mimicked Walt’s action to elicit a similar reaction from David.

    Walt jerked his head sideways and emphasized the action by letting his eyes crawl sideways in his head.  The implication of Walt’s gesture was clear.  He wanted to move as a team toward David’s huge cock.  I took the initiative to show Walt that I understood.  I lifted my face from the scent playground of David’s armpit and moved to wrap my lips around his hard nipple.  I licked and suckled the sensitive flesh.

    David gasped and tried to arch his body off the bed.  Walt and I held him down.  I didn’t let up on my sucking.  Walt latched onto the nipple on his side and sucked as hard as he could.  David cried out and tried to push us away from his chest.  If Walt and I wanted to stay where we were, we likely could have overpowered David, but we both had a different goal in mind.  We allowed ourselves to be pushed and licked our way down David’s hard body and flat stomach.

    Walt made it to David’s cock first and lapped up the stringy clear fluid David had been leaking since we’d started.  I tongue-fucked David’s belly button while Walt went to work on his cock.

    Walt’s bedside alarm clock went off with a droning buzz.  He swore mildly and went to silence the alarm.  I seized the opportunity to take my turn on David’s throbbing member.  I knelt between his spread legs and looked into his piercing hazel eyes while I deep-throated his huge cock.  Walt came back and tapped my shoulder.  I pulled David’s meat from my throat and split it with Walt.  We kissed and licked up and down the shaft, teased the head, and kissed each other with sloppy mouths while David watched with lust-glazed eyes.

    I decided I wanted something different.  I tapped Walt’s shoulder to ask him to pause his licking for just a second.  When he was out of the way, I pushed David’s legs up and made him hold his thighs with his legs spread as wide as possible.  I laid almost flat on my stomach and sealed my mouth to David’s ass.

    David watched in fascination while I ate and tongue fucked his pink hole.  I expected Walt to go back to sucking David off, but he didn’t.  Instead, Walt greased his hand with Mrs. Tuckers shortening and stroked David’s cock while I feasted on his ass.  David seemed to appreciate the view of what I was doing.  He started to tease his own nipples while I did it.

    After a short session in David’s hole, I pulled my tongue back into my own mouth and offered David’s hole to my husband.  Walt leapt at the chance.  He knelt between David’s upraised legs, but he didn’t flatten himself to the bed.

    Instead, Walt used his powerful arms to push the back of David’s thighs up and his knees closer to his head.  He rolled David until the only part of David’s body which was still on the bed were his head and shoulders.  Walt pushed until David’s ass was pointed straight up in the air.  Walt held David like that and buried his face into David’s hole.

    I moved around behind David’s head so I could watch my husband rim my friend.  Walt really went to town on David’s hole.  He spit in it, licked it, tongue fucked it, kissed and sucked it.  I watched him work and explained things to David.

    “I love morning-after sex.”  I announced to the room.  “So does Walt.  Both of us love the scents and flavors after they’ve had a night to marinate.  At Mitch’s, there were a ton of guys who liked seconds or morning-after sex.  Mitch called that her ‘pig package,’ and charged extra.  I used to laugh about it.  I used to laugh that Mitch would charge extra for a whore NOT to clean up after his last client.

    “That’s why I used to like the all-night orgies.  I’d get there early and sink into the flesh.  After a couple hours, and if I didn’t have to work the next day, I’d take a nap in one of the spare rooms, then go right back to the orgy when I woke up.  I loved it.  The room would reek of men, and they’d all be slick with sweat and spit and lube and cum.”

    Walt pulled his tongue from David’s hole and spat in it.  He used one arm to keep David propped up and teased David’s sensitive hole with the fingers of the other.  Walt agreed with what I’d said.  “I’m not as piggy as Law, but he taught me that fresh and clean isn’t always the best way to start an encounter.”

    Walt spat in David’s hole again.  “I’m going to fuck you now, David.  May I?”

    “Yes, please.”  David agreed.

    Walt lowered David’s body back to the bed.  I tossed him a pillow to prop David’s hips on for a better angle, then sat back to watch.  Walt eased his cock into David’s inexperienced hole and allowed him to get used to the violation.  When David was ready, Walt pounded him mercilessly.

    David took it like a professional.  He used his leg muscles to keep his feet in the air and used his fingers to tease his nipples.  His cock leaked steadily onto his stomach, but he didn’t touch it once.  I didn’t participate at all.  I merely watched while the love of my life fucked the man I was infatuated with.  They put on a tremendous show.  By the time Walt cried out as his climax took him, his furry body was lathered with the sweat of exertion.

    Walt pulled out of David and flopped face-first on the bed.  David hopped up off his back and eyed Walt’s meaty, hairy ass.  “Walt, I’m going to fuck you now.  May I?”  David said to parrot the way Walt had asked permission earlier.

    “Yes, please.”  Walt said into the mattress.

    I gave David the container of shortening to grease his cock with, then sat back to watch some more.  My husband and my friend seemed to be having too much fun on their own for me to insert myself between them.  Plus, if they enjoyed themselves with each other, they would be less likely to harbor hurt feelings later.

    David guided his meat between Walt’s ass cheeks and eased himself inside.  Once he was balls-deep, he laid his body on top of Walt’s and let his entire weight bear down on my husband.  Walt turned his head to the side and asked me for a pillow.  He pushed himself up enough for me to stuff the pillow under his chest, then he relaxed.  “Feels good.”  Walt said.  “You’re so heavy, David.  I like it.  Fuck me just like that.  Fuck me deep and hard.  I can take it.”

    David did as Walt asked.  He fucked my husband as hard as he could.  Walt loved every minute of it.  Near the end, David looked toward where I sat to watch.  “Can I finish inside him?”  He asked.

    I didn’t get a chance to answer.  Walt cried out into the bed.  “YES!  CUM IN ME!”

    David upped his efforts.  To my surprise, Walt had another orgasm which pulled David over the edge into his own climax.  David finished shaking and collapsed onto Walt’s back to catch his breath.  Walt heaved and gasped under David’s weight as he tried to recover at the same time.  When both men were breathing normally, David pushed himself up and pulled out.  He playfully slapped Walt’s ass as he rocked back on his haunches.

    I crawled across the bed and swallowed David’s greasy cock.  David reacted with stunned surprise.  I sucked and slurped at the still-hard meat, then sat back.  “You want to fuck me?”  I asked.

    David nodded.

    “Good.”  I said.  “I’m going to eat Walt’s ass.  You fuck me anyway you want to.”

    David shuffled back off the bed to give me room to kneel between Walt’s legs.  Walt tried to object.  “Love,” he said, “I’ve had enough.”

    “To bad,” I said, “I haven’t.”  I swatted Walt’s ass the way David had.  “I just want to snack on you, Love.  I don’t plan to do anything else.”

    As a way of giving his permission, Walt reached back and pulled his meaty cheeks open.  My mouth watered at the sight of his freshly fucked hole that wouldn’t even close all the way.  I buried my face in it and feasted while David lined up to fuck my ass.

    David was much more tender with me than he’d been with Walt.  He fucked me slowly with long, toe-curling strokes.  I ate Walt the entire time.  David finished inside me and pulled out.  I was getting ready to get up when David surprised me again.  He gripped my ass with his huge hands and pushed me open.  His tongue sank into my fucked hole, and he ate me the way I’d been eating Walt.

    David’s right hand found its way between my legs and gripped my cock.  He stroked me to completion while he rimmed me, and I rimmed Walt.

    David pulled his slobbery face from my ass and climbed off the bed.  I pulled my slobbery face from Walt’s ass and climbed off the bed.  David tried to say something about what we’d done, but I filled his mouth with my tongue before he had the chance.  I greedily sucked on the tongue which had just been in my ass and kissed it with the tongue which had just been in Walt’s ass.  Walt got off the bed and joined David and I to kiss us both.

    When we parted, David tried again to speak, but Walt wouldn’t let him.  “It’s time to shower.”  Walt said and led the way into the bathroom.

    There wasn’t enough room for all three of us in the tub at once, so we took turns washing each other, with two in the tub and one either participating or watching from the outside.  David had the most fun of any of us, and he had it with Walt.  David seemed fascinated by Walt’s stocky, athletic physique and his thick fur.  He stood behind Walt and lathered his front with great care.  I sat on the on the lid of the toilet seat and played with my spent dick while I watched.

    David soaped and scrubbed every inch of my husband’s body.  Whenever the two were face to face, they kissed like long lost lovers.  I enjoyed the erotic show.

    When Walt was clean, he stepped out of the tub, and I got in.  I washed David like he had washed Walt.  He and I also kissed whenever we got the chance.  When David was clean, he got out to dry off and Walt got back in.  Walt washed me while David watched.

    When all three of us were clean and the bathroom was a wet mess, we went to the bedroom to get dressed.

    By then, the three of us had touched and tasted and played with every inch of the other two.  We had enjoyed our late night and early morning to the point we didn’t want it to end, but it had to end.  We dressed with little talking.  Each of us watched the others to catch final glimpses at the flesh we’d taken such pleasure in.

    I finished with my underthings and my first outer layer, then shrugged into my jacket.  I got Larry’s quarter from my nightstand and put it in the inside pocket of my jacket so I wouldn’t forget to give it back to him.  I’d done as David wanted me to.  I’d saved Larry.  Therefore, it was time for me to return the sacred quarter to him.

    We descended the stairs as a group to move from the apartment into the restaurant.  We didn’t have much time because Larry was supposed to arrive at seven to have his breakfast with us.  I checked my wristwatch to see it was hard upon the hour.  Despite the shortness of time, the three of us found we were reluctant to leave the lower landing of the stairwell.  We knew that once we walked through the door onto the sidewalk, the magic of our incredible night would be over.

    Once the door opened and we returned to the greater world, Walt and I would be a couple again and David would be a married man with nine children.  Because we’d had such fun, we lingered behind the door with our arms around each other.  Our mouths kissed and savored the combination of the three of us, a unique flavor we were unlikely to ever experience again.

    A pounding knock on the door made us separate with a shared gasp.  I unlocked the door and jerked it open to see Larry.  He stood on the sidewalk with the handles of his and his father’s suitcases gripped in his catcher’s-mitt-sized fists.

    Larry was concerned by the sight which greeted him.  “What’s wrong?”  He asked.  “Did you argue?”

    I didn’t like to feel that I’d been caught doing something I shouldn’t have.  The feeling made me angry, and I reacted to Larry’s question with anger.  “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?”  I blared at the boy.

    Larry shrank from my shouting.  He took a step back and tried to phrase his question a different way.  “I’m sorry.  I didn’t mean to offend you, Mister Law, or any of you.  You all…you’re faces are red.  You look like you had a fight.  Is everything OK?”

    I had no answer for Larry’s question.  I tried to dismiss it.  “Everything is fine.”  I said and stepped out into the early morning sunshine.

    Walt stepped out behind me and unlocked the door to Walt’s Special.  The four of us went inside and waited while Walt locked the door behind us.  Larry left the suitcases in the entryway near the hostess’s station and joined us for the short walk to the kitchen.  Once inside, Larry continued to press for an answer.  The way he did it, he reminded me of his father.

    “I’m not a child!”  Larry said with a similar hot, angry look as the one his father had used when he said the same words to me the night before.  Larry took a breath and squelched his anger.  “I mean, Father, Mister Law, Mister Walt, I just want to know what happened.  You’ve all done so much for me.  Mister Law, you saved my life.  Mister Walt, we’ve become friends.  Father…Daddy, I couldn’t bear the thought of you being cross with me, not after everything we’ve been through.  Please, if something happened, tell me what it is so I can help.”

    I didn’t say a word.  I didn’t plan to say a word, certainly not the first word.  I looked to David to see what he would say.  As I did, I noticed that Walt was doing the same thing.  David looked at the floor.  He kicked at the red quarry tile and reached to thumb the lapel of his suit jacket.  I was glad to see that David found his lapel on the first try.  I guessed he’d gotten used to the new style of jacket.  I hoped for the sake of David’s appearance, that his old wedding suit would return to his closet at the farmhouse and never see the light of day again.

    David pinched his lapel and heaved a breath to address his son.  “Long ago, the Kingdom of Keystone was attacked by the greatest enemies it ever faced.  These enemies were known as ‘Time’ and ‘Progress.’”

    Larry interrupted David’s story.  “FATHER!”  He insisted.  “This isn’t the time for one of your fairy tales.”

    David reasoned against his son’s objection.  “What did I tell you, Larry?  I told you that all those fairy tales were true, didn’t I?”

    “Yes.”  Larry said with a careful voice which didn’t understand the point his father was trying to make.

    “Then keep quiet and let me tell you another tale.”  David said.

    Larry held his tongue and remained silent.  David continued with his story.

    “Queen Madam and the Knights of Keystone fought valiantly against the enemies of Time and Progress, but they could not prevail.  The Kingdom of Keystone was overrun and its knights and heroes scattered.  Queen Madam was able to save only one magic relic from the ruins of her castle and kingdom.  She saved a magic door which could transport the user into the Land of Memory.

    “In gratitude for his long and faithful service, Queen Madam gifted the door to the only hero the enemies couldn’t drive away, the Errant Hero of Law and Order.  Queen Madam attached a single condition to her gift.  The condition was that the Errant Hero had to let the Queen use the door to escape into the Land of Memory.  The Hero agreed, so Queen Madam packed up her fancy dresses, and all her pretty wigs and she fled to a place where time stands still.  In return for the gift, the Hero has guarded the door all these many years.

    “Last night, the Hero opened the door and the three of us went through it.  Walt and Law and I went to the Land of Memory.  In that magical place, the three of us were still young men with our whole lives ahead of us.  In the Land of Memory, all the growing up that we did was erased and none of our adult choices had ever been made.  None of us were married, and no one had children, and Law and I never parted, and the Kingdom of Keystone was just as real as it ever was.

    “In the Land of Memory, I got to see Queen Madam again, and to thank her for the magic she shared with me.  I also got to spend time with the Errant Hero and his friend.  We got to play together, like we never had the chance to before.  And for the shortest of moments, I was able to see what my life might have been like if I would have chosen to remain with the Hero instead of deciding to marry a woman and father children.”  David stopped speaking.  He kicked at the quarry tile floor again like he didn’t like its color.

    Larry thought his father’s story had reached its conclusion.  He was devastated by what he inferred the moral of it was.  “I didn’t mean to be a burden, Father.”  He gasped.

    David stared at his son as the boy tried to hide the fact that he was fighting back tears.  David realized that Larry had misunderstood.  He rushed to his son and wrapped the boy in his loving arms.  “You didn’t let me finish.”  David insisted.

    Larry stifled his sobs the best he could and waited for his father to go on.

    “What I didn’t get a chance to say, was the Land of Memory was a wonderous place, but it could never compare to the World of Today.  The Land of Memory, with all its pleasures, could never replace the joy I feel on every new morning when I rise with the knowledge that I have a beautiful wife who loves me and nine perfect children.  I had fun in the Land of Memory, but I told the Hero and his friend that they had to return me to the World of Today.  I told them both that I needed to get on a train with my son and take him home to his mother and his brothers and his sisters who miss him terribly.”

    Larry returned his father’s embrace as David uttered the final words of his story.  David patted Larry’s broad back and spoke reassurance to the youth.  “You have NEVER been a burden, son.  When a man helps to bring a child into the world, the life of the child becomes the man’s responsibility.  I accept that responsibility gladly and have never found it a burden.

    “There have been times when that responsibility was heavier than others.  There were times when I was so afraid I’d fail, so afraid that I wouldn’t measure up, but I’ve never, ever resented the work or the love that came with the responsibility.  I love you, and I always have, and I always will.  Do you believe me?”

    “Yes, Daddy.”  Larry said into his father’s shoulder.  “I’m sorry I doubted you.”

    David slapped his son’s back like they’d solved something major, which I guess they had.  The two men parted, and David spoke to his son’s tear-streaked face.  “I understand why you thought what you did.  I understand why you might think I would regret the life I chose.  You learned a lot about your old man over the last few days.  Too much maybe.

    “Maybe I shouldn’t have been as honest as I was.  I wanted you to know that you’re not alone, and that anything you’ve felt, I probably felt before you.  I wanted you to understand that I understand, and you can talk to me about anything.  I’ll always be there to listen and not to judge.”

    “Thank you, father.”  Larry replied like the carefully raised boy that he was.  “I want you to know that I appreciate the trust you gave me when you told me your secret.  I’m sorry I jumped to the wrong conclusion before.  I should know better.”

    David hugged his son again and left his arm around the boy when he turned to face me and Walt.  David opened his mouth to speak, but Larry beat him to it.  “So, you three had sex last night?”

    David snapped his mouth shut and stared at his boy with an expression like he’d accidentally swallowed a bug.  Walt muttered ‘oh my,’ and I laughed myself silly.  “Yes, Larry.”  I said.  “The three of us had sex last night, and again this morning, but that was in the Land of Memory.  Now we’re in the World of Today, like your dad said, so we have to get both of you fed so you can catch your train.”

    David tightened his arm around his son and shook his head at Walt and me.  “We’re going to have breakfast at the station.”  David announced.  “I think Larry and me need some time alone.”

    Walt and I both tried to argue David out of his decision, but David would have none of it.  At length, we relented, and Walt checked his pockets.  He muttered disappointment when he didn’t find what he wanted.  “I’ll have to go back upstairs to get the car keys.  I forgot to grab them.”

    David shook his head.  “We’ll walk.  It’s a pretty morning and we could use the walk.  There’s plenty of time.”

    David broke away from his son and grabbed Walt in an enveloping hug.  He squeezed my husband in his strong arms and thanked Walt for his hospitality.  David released Walt, then seized me in his bone-crushing grip.  “I’ll miss you, Hero.”  He said.  “Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

    David loosened his grip, and I thought he was ready to release me from his embrace.  To my surprise, he only moved his right arm and not his left.  His right hand dropped from my shoulder blade and traveled down my back until it could grab a handful of my ass.  David released me from the hug and the ass grab at the same time.  He turned on his heels and strolled right past his flabbergasted son.  “See you out front, Larry.”  David said over his shoulder as he pushed through the swing door into the dining room.

    Larry blinked his eyes hard like he needed to make sure what he’d seen wasn’t a figment of his imagination.  “I’ve never seen him do anything like that.”  Larry commented.  “What did you two do to him last night?”  He asked.

    As soon as the words left his lips, Larry turned stop-light red.  He held his hands up with the palms toward Walt and me.  “NO!  NOT WHAT I MEANT!”  Larry exclaimed.

    I chuckled.  “I didn’t think you wanted the details.”

    Larry chuckled and shook his head.  “No, details would probably break my brain the rest of the way.  I am glad, though.”  Larry said.  “When Dad told me…when he told me all about himself and you, Mister Law, I understood him a lot better.  I’m glad Dad married Mom, because if he didn’t, I wouldn’t be here.  At the same time, I can tell he really loves you.  He must or he wouldn’t have named his sons after you.”

    “It’s an honor,” I said, “to share a name with a fine young man like you.  Good luck.  Write us a letter once in a while and let us know how you are.”

    “I will.”  Larry promised.

    Larry shook hands with Walt, then offered his hand to me.  I shoved his hand aside and hugged the young man.  He hugged me back with a grip even stronger than his father’s.  “May I…may I come back here?”  Larry asked.

    We broke our embrace and stood facing each other while Larry explained his request.  “I love my parents and all my brothers and sisters, but Grass Range is such a small place.  I don’t think I could ever find someone like you and Mister Walt found each other.  I made so many friends here.  I liked my job, too.  It’s easier to be who I am here in the city than it would be at home.  Maybe, after the harvest in the fall, I can come back and try again.”

    “Sure, Larry.”  I agreed.  “Let us know.  We can help you find a place.  We can also let Wiry know.  I’m sure he’ll give you a job.  He said he’d be thrilled to have you back anytime.”

    Larry thanked Walt and me again.  We said our final ‘goodbyes’ and he left.

    “Did you have fun?”  I asked Walt when Larry was gone.

    “Oh my, yes.”  Walt admitted.  “David was amazing.  So were you.”

    “He seemed to enjoy you quite a bit.”  I observed to my husband.  “I think he liked how hairy you are.”

    “He was a lot of fun.”  Walt agreed.  “Thank you for sharing him with me.”

    “Thank you for having that idea.  I think what we did was good for David.  Now he doesn’t have to wonder.  You’re the best.”  I said and gave Walt a pec on his cheek.

    “Yes I am.”  Walt agreed.  He changed the subject to the immediate situation.  “If it’s just the two of us, we may as well have breakfast upstairs.”

    I agreed.  My husband and I moved back through the restaurant, turning off lights as we went.  Walt locked up the restaurant and let us into the stairwell up to our apartment.  We climbed the stairs and were almost at the top when the door buzzer sounded.

    “Could they have forgotten something?”  Walt asked from one step in front of me.

    “I’ll check.”  I said and went down the steps.

    I unlocked the door and pulled it open.  Instead of David or Larry, I saw a Western Union boy in his brown uniform and cap.  He held out a telegram and a clipboard to sign.  “Walter Stack?”  The boy asked.

    “Yeah.”  I said.  I didn’t bother to tell the kid that Walt was upstairs, and I’d take the telegram to him.  Sometimes the delivery boys would insist that I call Walt down to receive the telegram directly.  To avoid any potential aggravation, I said I was Walt.

    I put the telegram in my inside pocket and found a quarter there to tip the kid with.  I scribbled on the clipboard and handed over the quarter.  The kid looked at the coin and handed it back.  “This is Canadian, Mister.”  He said.

    I examined the coin and realized it was Larry’s quarter from the Kingdom of Keystone.  I swore at the silver piece of money.  “Shit, I forgot to give it back to him.”

    I searched my pockets for another coin and handed the kid a fifty-cent piece.  He thanked me and hurried away to make more deliveries.

    I climbed the steps and took the telegram from my pocket to read on the way up.  I tore the onion skin envelope and drew out the yellow form with the white tape pasted to the front.  The telegram read: ‘TO: WALTER STACK, FROM: THE FIRESTONE RESTAURANT COMMISSION.  DEAR SIR [STOP] IT IS OUR PLEASURE TO AWARD WALT’S SPECIAL TWO STARS [STOP] CONGRATULATIONS [END OF MESSAGE].’

    “Walt!”  I called from the steps.

    “Yes, love.”  He called back.  “Was it David?”

    “No,” I said as I entered the kitchen, “it was a telegram.  You might want to sit down.”

    235 N Broad Street

    Philadelphia, PA

    April 10, 1953

     

    Dear Mister Law,

    Dad and I are waiting to catch the train out of Prairie Grove.  Grandpa Samuel and Grandma Phyllis just dropped us off.  We’ve got a few minutes because the train is late.  The post office is right here in the station, so I figured I’d write you a quick letter.

    Dad and me spent a whole week on the Ploughman farm.  Dad started to call Grandpa’s family ‘the Iowa Ploughmans’ like we’re rich or something.  He calls us ‘the Montana Ploughmans.’

    When we left Philly, I asked Dad if we were going to stop in Iowa.  At first, he said we weren’t.  Then he said we would, but just to take a look.  Then he said we wouldn’t, because he wanted to get home to help Uncle Robert with the planting.  I stood up to him when we were having dinner in the dining car.  I said, “Daddy, if you don’t do this now, you never will.”

    He said I was right, but he worried about what to tell Mom.  I had to tell him what he should have already known.  I said, “Mom loves you and nothing will change that.”

    Dad agreed and we stopped.  We got off the train in Prairie Grove.  We had to hitch a ride and walk a long way because there were no taxis.  When we got to the farm, poor Dad was so nervous.  I had to knock on the door for us.  Dad couldn’t do it because his hand shook so bad.  Grandma Phyllis opened the door.  As soon as she saw Dad, she hugged him and started to cry.  She cried and cried and cried fit to beat the band.

    Grandpa Samuel was in the house working on the accounts.  He came out to see what Grandma Phyllis was on about.  Grandma Phyllis said that ‘David has come home at last.’  All heck broke loose after that.  Grandma Phyllis kept right on crying.  Grandpa Samuel started to cry.  He hugged Dad and apologized over and over.  Dad cried.  All three of ‘em hugged on the porch for what felt like forever.

    When they finally stopped crying, Dad introduced me, and they all started up again!

    We spent the whole week there.  Dad and me stayed in the bedroom that Dad shared with his brothers growing up.  I met aunts and uncles and cousins and second cousins and third cousins removed a couple times.  I had to start writing their names down because there were so many.  I didn’t have a chance of keeping them straight.

    Dad was honest about what happened all those years ago.  He was honest about being queer.  So was I.  Dad told about how he met mom and fell in love and all that.  I could tell Grandma and Grandpa were confused by the whole thing, but they were so happy to have Dad back, none of it seemed to matter.

    While we were here, we worked on the farm every day.  Dad got to work with his brothers again.  A lot of them have their own places, but they’re all close by and they help each other.  Dad’s brothers were super happy to have him back.  So were his sisters.

    I worked with Dad some, but I spent a lot of time with my cousins.  They still use draft horses on Grandpa Samuel’s farm.  I got to learn to drive them and look after them.  Farming with horses is HARD WORK!  It’s fun though.  The horses are HUGE!

    Uncle Peter, Dad’s brother, uses tractors like Dad does.  Dad prefers McCormick and Uncle Peter swears by Farmall.  They argued about which was better the whole time.  Me and Uncle Peter’s oldest son, Davy, just laughed at them.

    Last night, Dad and me and Grandma and Grandpa stayed up late.  We sat in the parlor by the fireplace.  Grandpa Samuel smoked a pipe and Grandma Phyllis worked on her needlepoint.  Dad said he was still worried about what to tell Mom.  He didn’t know how he could explain.

    Grandpa Samuel wrote Mom a letter to explain what happened between him and Dad.  He didn’t lie, but he didn’t tell exactly the whole truth.  He never said why he threw Dad off the farm.  He just said they had a heated disagreement.  Grandpa took all the blame for making Dad leave.  In the letter, he begged Mom not to be angry with Dad over his telling her that his folks were dead.  Grandpa said he understood why Dad would say that.  ‘For all practical purposes,’ Grandpa wrote, ‘we were dead to each other.’

    Grandpa said he’d leave it up to Dad to figure a way to explain about his benefactor.  I guess that means you, Mister Law.  Dad and me are going to figure that out on the train.

    Oh!  The train just pulled into the station, so I got to run along.

    Thanks again for everything, Mister Law.  Say ‘hi’ to Mister Walt for me.

    Yours,

    Larry Ploughman

    PS:  Dad says to tell you ‘hello.’

    PPS:  Dad says you forgot to give me my quarter.  I think you should keep it.  I can’t ever thank you enough for what you did for me and for my Dad.  Keep it to remind you how much difference you made in our lives.  If you ever get to the ‘Land of Memory’ again, tell Queen Madam that Dad and me say hello.

  • Salmon Fishing In The Rockies

    The morning air was crisp as the salmon river rushed by, a constant companion to the surrounding wilderness. The sun peeked over the horizon, sending shafts of light dancing through the trees as it climbed the sky. The river’s banks were lined with a dense carpet of greenery that grew thick and untamed.

    Steven took a deep breath, letting the coldness of it fill his lungs and wake him up. He’d been here before dawn, his favourite time of day to fish. The water was clear, hinting at the secrets it held beneath its surface. The line in his hand was taut as he cast it repeatedly, sending the fly skimming gracefully over the water each time. This was salmon fishing at its best.

    The fly he used was a meticulously crafted imitation of a Mayfly, a local delicacy for the salmon and his grandfather had taught him the art.

    Steven’s head snapped up having been so focused on the fishing as a young man, maybe in his mid-twenties, with a scruff of a beard and clothes that looked more suited to a hike than fishing, emerged from the underbrush. His curiosity was clear, his eyes wide and questioning as he moved closer to the fisherman’s position. “What are you doing?” he called out, his voice carrying over the water.

    The suddenness of the question startled Steven. He turned, his line still in the air, and took in the stranger’s appearance. The man looked harmless enough, but the way he held himself suggested a certain wariness. “Fishing,” Steven replied, his voice calm and measured.

    The young man’s eyes grew even wider. “In your underwear?” he exclaimed, a touch of incredulity in his voice.

    Steven looked down at his Fruit of the Loom tighty whities and chuckled. “Long story,” he said, reeling in his line. “But let’s just say I’m not dressed for company. What brings you out here anyway?”

    The stranger took a step closer to the river standing on the edge of the bank, his gaze shifting from the fly to the water. “Just passing through,” he said, his voice a little less steady. “I’ve never seen anyone fish like that before.”

    “Well,” Steven said, his smile fading as he took in the man’s unease, “I know it’s not every day you see a guy in his skivvies trying to land the big one but today’s your lucky day because, here I am so I guess it’s a first for you.” He paused, his hand tightening around the line. “Is there something you need?”

    The man looked at him for a long moment, then nodded. “I’m lost,” he admitted, his voice dropping. “Could you help me find my way back?”

    “Depends on where you wish to go,” Steven responded to his request for help. “Being lost can be emotional or geographical,” Steven continued with a hint of sarcasm.

    The young man took a step closer, his eyes darting around the woods as if expecting something to jump out. “Geographically,” he said with a nervous laugh. “I’ve been walking for hours and can’t find the trail.”

    “I guess you are doing the big hike from coast to coast.”

    The young man nodded, “Yeah, I’m Mike, from Vancouver. I started three weeks ago but took a detour to follow the river.”

    “Well, it’s not a bad river to follow but it flows from East to West and you don’t want to go that way I take it?” Steven pointed out.

    Mike’s face fell. “I guess not.” He scratched his beard. “I just wanted to see something different, you know? Get off the beaten path.”

    “Well, I can confirm you have seen something different, but I tell you what Mike, let me finish what I’m doing and afterwards I shall point you in the right direction assuming you are not in a rush.”

    Mike nodded eagerly, “That’s great, thank you.”

    Steven turned back to the river, casting his line with renewed focus. The fly arced through the air, the tippet singing a delicate tune as it unfurled. Mike sat down on the riverbank, watching the scene unfold with a mix of fascination and apprehension. He couldn’t help but steal glances at Steven’s bare legs, the muscles flexing with each cast. He had never seen someone so at ease in such an unusual situation.

    Mike’s thoughts were interrupted by a sudden splash, and he watched as a salmon breached the surface, its silver scales flashing in the morning light. The line went taut, and Steven’s body tensed as he reeled in his catch. The salmon fought valiantly, leaping and twisting, but Steven’s experience won the test of strength. With a final heave, the fish lay at his feet, gasping in the fresh air. Mike couldn’t hide his amazement. “That was incredible,” he murmured.

    “Easy when you have time and patience,” Steven commented to Mike who by this time was also looking at Steven’s bulge in this tighty whities.

    “It’s all about reading the water,” Steven explained as he unhooked the salmon, his hands quick and sure. “You’ve got to know where the fish are hiding.” He held the salmon up for Mike to admire before placing it gently into the basket at his side.

    Mike nodded, his eyes wide with wonder. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said. “How did you learn to do that?”

    Steven chuckled, wiping his hands on a towel. “Years of practice,” he said. “And a few good teachers. But let’s talk about you, Mike. What’s your story?”

    “I don’t have much of a story, to be honest, sort of lost I think hence why I’m walking coast to coast in the hope of finding something. Tell you what though, perhaps you could teach me how to fish like you.”

    Steven considered the proposal for a moment. “All right, I’ll show you the basics,” he said finally, a hint of amusement in his voice. “But you’re going to need some gear and clothes. You can’t fish in those.”

    Mike looked down at his hiking boots and jeans, a blush creeping up his neck. “Right,” he mumbled, standing up and brushing off his pants. “That might be tricky since I don’t have much to wear and certainly nothing suitable for fishing.”

    “Well, you could consider doing as I do if you don’t mind or feel shy.”

    Mike looked at him with a puzzled expression. “You mean fishing in my underwear?”

    Steven couldn’t help but laugh. “Well yeah. What do you think I was talking about,” he said, his eyes twinkling with mischief. “But if you’re not up for it, you will just have to get your jeans wet by wading in.”

    Mike looked at him incredulously. “Don’t you get complaints from the neighbours fishing like that in the wilderness?”

    Steven looked around looking for all the spectators who might wish to complain. “Just looking for the neighbours in this wilderness…. hold on, nope, no one around to complain unless they got lost as well.”

    Mike smiled at that comment. “Yep, I get it. It’s just you and the trees.”

    “Sure thing Mike because I own the river for a ten-mile stretch. The family bought the land and the river over a hundred years ago and every spring I come back up to enjoy the life where I can just be myself with the occasional trip into town for supplies.” Steven answered Mike’s observations.

    Mike stood on the bank wondering what to do. “Well, what are you going to do? Wet Jeans or not?” Steven asked.

    “Fuck it, why not,” the man responded as Mike put his backpack on the grass and started to remove his hiking boots. Steven watched the man’s efforts to get out of his hiking gear, enjoying the moment when he lost his balance with one leg in the jeans and the other out. With a chuckle, Steven noted the man was wearing bright-coloured boxer briefs and had strong thighs from what he could see.

    “Bright underwear young man,” Steven commented. “A bit bright for my liking and you might leave the salmon confused if you’re not careful.” Laughing out loud.

    Mike chuckled in response as he carried on getting undressed until he stood before Steven in his shirt and underwear ready to step into the river. “So, what now?”

    “Now, you learn,” Steven said, inviting Mike into the water and handing him the bamboo rod.

    Mike took the rod tentatively, his eyes on the line that danced in the air as Steven demonstrated. “It’s all in the wrist,” Steven murmured, standing close behind him. He placed his hands on Mike’s waist, steadying him, and guiding him through the motions. The warmth of his touch was surprising against the chilly water of the river.

    The first few casts were clumsy, the line tangling around Mike’s feet and the fly landing with a plop rather than a graceful skim. But with each try, he felt his form improving, his body moving in time with the river’s rhythm. He could feel Steven’s eyes on him, watching his progress with a knowing smile. The sun had fully risen now, casting a golden glow over the water and painting the leaves of the trees with a gentle warmth.

    Steven surveyed the situation. “The sun’s up now and it’s too warm for the fish so perhaps we should take a break and have a smoke on the bank. What do you think my friend?”

    Mike nodded, grateful for the respite. He followed Steven out of the water to sit on a fallen log, the early morning dew almost gone from the growing warmth of sunlight. Steven pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his fishing bag, offering one to Mike, who took it with a grateful smile. They sat in companionable silence for a moment, smoking and watching the river flow by. The tension from Mike’s earlier fears of being lost had begun to ease, and he felt a strange sense of comfort in the company of this peculiar, yet skilled, fisherman.

    “So, Mike, tell me more of your story.”

    Mike took a drag on the cigarette, watching the smoke mingle with the mist rising off the river. “Not much to tell, really,” he began, his voice quiet. “I just needed to get away, you know? Life was feeling too… too much. I figured walking across the country would help me find myself.”

    Steven nodded, his eyes never leaving the water. “I can understand that,” he said, his voice thoughtful. “Sometimes you just need to get lost to find what you’re looking for.”

    Mike took a deep breath, the scent of the river and the cigarette mingling in the mid-morning air. “What about you?” he asked. “What brings you out here every day?”

    “I guess the freedom and peace living out here. Besides, I get to do what I want when I want and that includes fishing in my tighty whities. You can’t do that in the big city, can you?”

    Mike laughed, a little too loudly, the sound echoing through the forest. “No, definitely not,” he agreed.

    Steven continued his explanation. “You can’t live here in winter. It’s too cold and the snow closes the valley for about three months but in spring I come up here and make my home until late autumn. It’s a perfect way of living in this mad world but I always leave before the first snow of winter.”

    Steven stood and stretched his arms out, the muscles in his back rippling as he reached for the sky. The tighty whities clung to him, leaving nothing to the imagination as Mike couldn’t help but enjoy the scene before he looked away, feeling a strange mix of awe and embarrassment.

    “So, Mike,” Steven said, his voice breaking the silence. “I figure you’re not in a rush, are you?”

    Mike looked at him, the cigarette smouldering between his fingers. “I guess not,” he replied slowly. “My schedule is pretty loose.”

    “Good,” Steven said with a nod. “Why don’t you stay with me for a couple of days? I’ve got a nice cabin not too far from here. You can rest up, I’ll teach you to fish properly, and we’ll get you back on track if that sounds like a plan you can enjoy?”

    Mike looked at him, a spark of hope lighting up his eyes. “Really?”

    “Sure,” Steven said, his smile warm and genuine. “It’s not the Ritz but it’s dry and it’s got a decent bed, plenty of food and a log fire that keeps you warm. I also suspect you look like you could use a decent meal.”

    Mike looked down at his own hands, the knuckles white where he gripped the cigarette. He hadn’t eaten since the day before, and the thought of a real meal was tempting. “Thanks,” he murmured. “I’d like that.”

    Steven clapped him on the shoulder, his hand warm and firm. “Great,” he said, his eyes gleaming. “Let’s pack up and get going. I’ll show you the ropes and perhaps you fancy chopping some wood if you can spare the time.”

    Together, they grabbed the fishing gear and the basket that contained dinner Mike assumed, as Steven pointed out the way to his cabin, a medium-sized but cosy-looking structure nestled among the trees.

    As they approached, Mike could see smoke curling out of the chimney, hinting at warmth and comfort within. The cabin looked like something out of a storybook, with its wooden walls and moss-covered roof. The door creaked open, revealing a home larger than expected with suitable furnishings, a crackling fireplace in the lounge and a well-appointed kitchen. Off to the left was a hallway that suggested more living space yet to be seen.

    “Here’s your bedroom,” Steven said, leading Mike down the hall. “It’s not much, but it’s home.” The room was sparse, with a single bed and a dresser. The bed was neatly made with a threadbare quilt folded at the end.

    Mike stepped inside, his eyes taking in the simplicity of the space. The floorboards were worn, but clean, and the air smelled faintly of woodsmoke and something else, something that reminded him of his childhood. “It’s perfect,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

    Steven nodded, his eyes scanning the room with a critical eye. “It does the job,” he said with a shrug. “It’s all I need.”

    Mike looked around, feeling a little overwhelmed. “I, uh, I get that, and it suits me well,” he admitted. “I had most of my gear stolen the other night leaving me with the clothes on my back and some personal possessions that I managed to hide from the miscreants who robbed me.”

    Steven’s expression grew serious. “You had a run-in with some trouble?”

    Mike nodded, his eyes dropping to the floor. “Some guys took my large backpack while I was asleep. They didn’t hurt me, but they took everything I had.”

    Steven’s face darkened with a flash of anger. “I’m sorry to hear that, Mike.” He paused, his gaze lingering on Mike’s dirty clothes. “Why don’t you get out of those things, and we can get them washed and then they can dry by the fire? You can borrow some of my clothes while you’re here.”

    “You have a washing machine?” Mike asked.

    “Yep, I have thank God. The best purchase ever was the generator that supplies the power and pumps the water from the well.”

    Mike was impressed as he started to strip off his remaining clothes, looking forward to wearing clean clothes for the first time in a few days.

    Steven left the bedroom and after a couple of minutes, he returned, handing Mike a pair of dungarees, a flannel shirt, some tighty whities, socks, and a nightshirt. “Hope these all fit you, Mike.”

    Mike took the clothes with a grateful smile. “Thanks, Steven. I appreciate this,”

    Mike pulled on the flannel shirt swamping him with its size but the tighty whities fitted well enough as he picked up the dirty clothes and walked into the kitchen finding the washing machine door open waiting for him to make a deposit.

    Mike felt a little self-conscious but also a strange sense of liberation as he stood there turning on the machine watching the cycle begin at forty degrees as the smell of coffee became the object of his attention.

    Steven was standing on the back porch having a cigarette as Mike took in the sight of his host looking fit and healthy in his tighty whities. Mike poured himself coffee and joined Steven on the back porch.

    Side by side they stood, taking in the view and peace of the wilderness in which the cabin stood as Mike took the cigarette being offered with a “Thank you.”

    “You’re welcome,” Steven said, taking a long drag of his cigarette. “It’s not every day someone stumbles into my life looking for a bit of guidance and a place to crash. Besides, it gets a bit lonely out here sometimes.” He looked at Mike, his eyes noting that Mike wasn’t wearing the dungarees he had been given. “You know, it’s a good thing you found me I think,” as his hand brushed against Mike’s bottom and the cotton material of his borrowed tighty whities.

    Mike felt a shiver run down his spine, a mix of cold and something else, something unfamiliar but welcome. He looked at Steven, the man’s gaze holding his own, and for a moment, the air between them was charged with an energy that made Mike’s heart race. He took a sip of the hot coffee, the warmth spreading through his body, chasing away the last of the cold. “Yeah,” he said, his voice a little hoarse. “It is.”

    “I’ve never been in a situation quite like this before,” Mike admitted, his eyes drifting to the cigarette between his fingers. “I don’t even know what to do.”

    Steven leaned against the porch railing, his gaze on the river in the distance. “You don’t have to do anything,” he said, his voice calm. “Just be you. That’s all anyone can ever ask. Just feel happy with yourself and how you feel. Most people spend their entire life running away from their feelings and sometimes, people run away to find the answers they seek. Ultimately, it’s all about acceptance you cannot change what and who you are.”

    Mike took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the world slipping away with each exhale. He moved closer to Steven, his hand brushing against the man’s thigh. The muscles under the fabric of the tighty whities were firm and warm and for Mike, something he wanted to explore.

    Steven stood there leaning against the porch railing enjoying the first intimate touch from anyone in months hoping that Mike’s fingers would travel a bit more.

    “You know Mike, sometimes the best things in life are found when you’re not looking for them,” Steven said. He could feel the heat of Mike’s touch even through the fabric of the tighty whities and his cock began to stir.

    “Tell me Mike, what are you running away from? Everyone has a story.”

    Mike was silent as he thought about the question Steven had just posed and whether he could be honest with his newfound friend. “I don’t quite know how to say it, but I decided to come out as bi and my wife didn’t take it well to the point that she kicked me out and started divorce proceedings leaving me homeless and facing huge legal bills.

    Mike took a step closer, his hand now resting on the wood of the porch railing. “I was wondering,” Mike continued, his voice barely above a whisper, “if you’ve ever shared this… home with anyone else.”

    Steven turned to face him, his eyes dark with something that could have been desire or challenge. “Can’t say I have recently but I have in the past,” he replied, taking a drag from his cigarette. “But I’m not opposed to new experiences with new friends if that’s what you are asking.” Taking a step closer to the hiker, their bodies almost touching. “Are you?”

    Mike’s heart was hammering in his chest. He had felt this way before of course but not with a man he hardly knew and had only just met, but something about Steven made him want to explore this uncharted territory. He took a deep breath and leaned in, his hand sliding up to cup the growing bulge belonging to the fisherman.

    Steven’s eyes widened slightly, but his expression remained neutral. He took the cigarette out of his mouth and tossed it in the ashtray, allowing the moment to stretch out between them, filled with anticipation. He didn’t move away, didn’t push Mike away, instead his hand came to rest on Mike’s shoulder.

    Mike took that as a sign as he dropped to his knees in front of Steven, his own heart thumping in his chest like a drum. His hands trembled slightly as he gripped the waistband of the tighty whities and pulled them down. The cotton fabric slid over the firm mound of Steven’s cock, revealing the circumcised head, already swollen with arousal.

    Without a word, Mike leaned forward and took the tip of Steven’s cock into his mouth, his tongue flicking out to taste the salty precum that had beaded at the tip. The man above him sucked in a sharp breath, his hands coming to rest on Mike’s head. The scent of the river and the earth mingled with the musk of arousal, and Mike felt a strange, primal hunger awaken inside him.

    He took more of Steven into his mouth, his lips stretching around the girth as he began to suck in earnest. The head of the cock was hot and hard against his tongue, and the sounds of pleasure that Steven was making were music to his ears. Mike’s cock grew in response, pressing against the fabric of the borrowed tighty whities.

    Steven’s hips began to rock gently, guiding Mike’s movements as the young man grew more confident. Mike’s eyes were closed, lost in the sensation of giving pleasure, his hands now gripping Steven’s thighs to keep him steady. The noises that filled the cabin grew louder, the wet sounds of Mike’s mouth and the occasional groan from Steven’s throat.

    Mike felt a hand on the back of his head, guiding him deeper, and he took the invitation eagerly. He took the entire length of the cock into his mouth, feeling the veins pulse against his tongue. His throat muscles contracted around the shaft as he tried to swallow more, his nose buried in the dark thatch of pubic hair as his hand now played with the man’s balls.

    Steven’s breathing grew ragged, his eyes squeezed shut as he fought to keep his composure. The sensation of Mike’s mouth on him was too much, the warmth and wetness overwhelming in the best way possible. He could feel his orgasm building, a tension coiling in his belly like a spring ready to snap.

    Mike’s hands roamed up to Steven’s waist, his fingers digging into the firm flesh as he worked the cock in his mouth. The tip of his cock was poking out of the fly hole of the tighty whities now, straining against the fabric as he grew increasingly aroused.

    Suddenly, Steven’s hand tightened in Mike’s hair, and he knew he was close. He redoubled his efforts, sucking and licking with a desperation that was new to him. He could feel the muscles in Steven’s thighs tightening, the cock in his mouth swelling even more.

    With a guttural groan, Steven came, his hips bucking as he filled Mike’s mouth with his seed. Mike swallowed eagerly, the taste of salt and musk overpowering. He looked up at the man he had just pleasured, his eyes wide with a mix of wonder and satisfaction.

    Steven looked down at him, his chest heaving with exertion. He reached down and gently helped Mike to his feet, a soft smile playing on his lips. “Well,” he said, his voice a little rough. “That was unexpected.”

    Mike felt his cheeks flush, but he couldn’t help the smile that spread across his face. “I’ve never done that before to a stranger I have just met,” he admitted. “But it felt… right.”

    Steven leaned in; his breath warm against Mike’s ear. “You’re a natural,” he murmured. “And if you stick around, I’ll teach you a few more tricks.”

    Mike’s heart skipped a beat, his cock still hard against the cotton material. “I’d like that,” he whispered back, his eyes locked on Steven’s.

    They stood there for a moment, the air thick with unspoken desires and the promise of more to come as Steven stepped out of his tighty whities that nestled at his ankles with the fire crackling in the background, the only sound in the cabin aside from their heavy breathing.

    Finally, Steven broke the silence. “Why don’t you go clean up?” he suggested, his hand giving Mike’s shoulder a gentle squeeze. “I’ll make us some breakfast but before breakfast, I think I need to deal with your plight,” as Steven touched Mike’s cock erect and cried out for attention.

    Steven lowered Mike’s tighty whities and started to massage his cock, rubbing the hardness of the shaft as the man started to masturbate his visitor. Mike just stood allowing the man to juggle his balls between his fingers as Mike started to feel the sensation of his growing climax. Steven then used his other hand to pinch Mike’s nipples as he kissed the younger man.

    They stood together kissing as Steven continued to rub his shaft until he could feel the hiker tense with growing tension. Steven pinched the other nipple as his mouth was engaged in a deep kiss, feeling the tension as Mike couldn’t hold back and shot his load onto Steven’s groin and hand. Steven kept going as Mike shot more cum in ropes of warm cum until he was left with just a dribble that Steven played with on the tip of his cock.

    “Feel better Mike? I certainly do.”

    Mike nodded, his legs feeling a bit wobbly. “Thank you, Steven. “I guess I should get cleaned up for breakfast now as you suggested,” making his way to the bathroom, his mind racing with the implications of what had just happened. He had come to the cabin looking for directions and a warm bed, but it seemed he had found much more than that.

    As he stepped into the shower, the water cascading over his body, Mike couldn’t help but replay the events of the last few minutes. The intimacy of the moment washed over him like a wave of warmth, leaving him feeling both excited and slightly embarrassed. He had never felt this way about a man before, but there was something about Steven that was undeniably alluring.

    Mike let the hot water wash away the last traces of the river and the sweat of their encounter. His thoughts swirled like the water around his feet as he tried to make sense of his feelings. He had always thought of himself as primarily straight with bi tendencies, but here he was, in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, having taken a cock in his mouth and a strange sense of belonging whilst afterwards receiving an enjoyable wank that was just what he needed at that moment in time.

    Steven’s touch had been firm yet gentle, guiding him in a surprisingly comforting way. The way he had offered him the cigarette, the way he had talked to him, it was as if he knew exactly what Mike needed to hear. And now, as he cleaned himself up, he found himself looking forward to the rest of the day, to spending more time with the mysterious fisherman.

    When he emerged from the shower, the cabin was filled with the scent of bacon and eggs. The smell of breakfast was a welcome comfort, grounding him in reality. He pulled on the dry clothes Steven had given him, feeling a little self-conscious in the oversized dungarees and shirt. But the tighty whities felt surprisingly right and more comfortable than his boxer briefs.

    He padded into the kitchen, his bare feet silent on the wooden floorboards. Steven looked up from the stove, naked with a spatula in hand, and gave Mike a wink. “Hungry?” he asked, the corner of his mouth quirking up in a knowing smile.

    Mike’s cheeks flushed as he took a seat at the table, his cock still half-hard. “Yeah,” he said, his voice a little too loud in the small space. “I’m starving.”

    They ate in silence for a while, the only sound the scrape of forks on plates and the occasional pop from the bacon. Mike felt like he should say something, anything to break the tension, but his mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.

    Finally, Steven spoke up. “So, Mike, tell me more about this journey of yours. What’s driving you?”

    Mike took a deep breath, his gaze on the half-eaten eggs in front of him. “I don’t know,” he admitted. “I guess I just needed to get away. To find something… or someone.”

    Steven nodded, understanding in his eyes. “We’ve all got our reasons,” he said. “But sometimes, the thing we’re looking for is right in front of us the whole time.”

    Mike looked up, meeting Steven’s gaze. “What do you mean?”

    “You’ve found your way here,” Steven said, setting his plate aside. “To me, to this place. Maybe this is where you’re supposed to be.” He leaned across the table, his hand reaching for Mike’s. “And maybe, just maybe, you’ve found something in me that you didn’t even know you needed.”

    Mike felt his heart race as their fingers touched. The warmth from the stove was nothing compared to the heat that was building between them. “What happens now?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

    Steven’s smile grew. “Whatever you want,” he said, squeezing Mike’s hand gently. “We’ll fish, we’ll eat, we’ll talk, and we’ll explore.”

    Mike nodded, feeling a sense of peace settle over him. “Okay,” he murmured. “Let’s do that.”

    Without a word, Steven leaned in, his hand finding Mike’s, “Yes, let’s do that but before we do, I want to make love to you.”

    Mike’s eyes widened, the proposal catching him off-guard. “What?” he managed to choke out, his hand still in the firm grip of the man who had just brought him to his knees with pleasure.

    “You heard me,” Steven said, his voice low and seductive. “I want to show you how much I appreciate your company, and I think this is the perfect way to do it.” He stood up, the chair scraping against the floor as he did so. His naked form was lit by the sunlight, casting shadows that danced across the cabin walls as Mike stared at the man’s huge erection awaiting satisfaction.

    Mike’s heart raced as he looked up at him, the man’s confidence, and desire impossible to ignore. He felt a strange mix of fear and excitement as he nodded, his voice barely a murmur. “Okay,” he said, his voice shaking slightly, “but I’ve never been with a man before.”

    Steven reached out a hand and helped Mike to his feet, the warmth of their palms melding together. “That’s okay Mike, I will take it easy, and you will enjoy it, trust me,” as he led Mike back to his bedroom, the floorboards creaking under their weight.

    Steven paused at the doorway, his hand on the small of Mike’s back. “If you want to stop at any time, just say so,” he whispered. “I don’t want to push you into anything you’re not ready for.”

    Mike took a deep breath, feeling his cock twitch against his thigh. “I want this,” he said, his voice firmer now. “I want to explore this… this desire to know you better.”

    Steven’s smile grew, and he leaned in to kiss Mike, the touch gentle and sweet, a stark contrast to the passionate embrace of moments before. Mike felt himself melting into the kiss, his body responding instinctively. He leaned into it, his hands finding their way to Steven’s chest, his thumbs circling the man’s nipples.

    They stumbled into the bedroom, the kiss growing deeper as they went. Steven pushed Mike onto the bed, his hands deftly unbuttoning the dungarees and flannel shirt. Mike’s skin was pale in the sunlight that flooded the bedroom, his chest rising and falling with every breath. The tighty whities were the last to go, revealing a cock that was already standing at attention.

    Steven took his time, kissing Mike’s neck and chest, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin as Mike’s hips bucked up to meet him. His hands were everywhere, exploring every inch of the young man’s body. Mike’s moans grew louder as Steven took his cock in hand, stroking it with a firm grip that made Mike’s toes curl.

    “Please,” Mike gasped, arching his back. “I need you.”

    Steven didn’t need any further encouragement, but he knew that Mike was a virgin and would need to be more relaxed.

    Steven’s fingers trailed down Mike’s body, over the firm ridges of his abdomen and towards the unexplored territory below. With a gentle touch, he began to massage the tight ring of muscle, his movements slow and deliberate. Mike tensed for a moment, unused to the sensation, but soon he began to relax, his body responding to the tender ministrations.

    “Relax,” Steven murmured, his breath hot against Mike’s ear as he worked his fingers. “Just let it happen.” His thumb circled the tight bud of Mike’s anus, applying gentle pressure as he felt the muscles start to loosen.

    Mike’s eyes rolled back in his head, his breath coming in short, sharp gasps. He had never felt anything so intense, so overwhelming. The sensation was strange, yet somehow familiar, like a forgotten memory coming back to him.

    As Mike grew more accustomed to the feeling, Steven’s fingers grew bolder, slipping past the barrier and into the warmth beyond. Mike’s body tensed again, but this time it was with pleasure. The fisherman’s fingers moved with purpose, stretching, and preparing him for what was to come.

    Mike’s hips began to move in time with the rhythm of Steven’s hand, his cock pulsing with every stroke. “I want you,” he whispered, his voice thick with lust. “Please take me.”

    Steven leaned over, his chest pressing against Mike’s, their skin slick with sweat. He kissed him deeply, their tongues dancing together as he positioned himself between Mike’s legs. His cock was hard and insistent, demanding entry.

    He reached into the bedside table, pulling out a bottle of lube with a quiet snicker. “This will help,” he said, his voice a low growl as he squeezed a generous amount onto his fingers.

    Mike nodded, his eyes never leaving Steven’s. “Just be gentle,” he pleaded.

    Steven’s expression softened, and he leaned in to kiss Mike again. “Always,” he promised before coating his cock with the lube.

    Slowly, so very slowly, he pushed into Mike, his eyes never leaving the younger man’s face. Mike’s eyes were wide with a mix of pain and pleasure, but there was no fear in them, only trust.

    As he filled Mike, Steven felt a strange sense of rightness, as if this were where he was always meant to be. He began to move, his hips setting a gentle rhythm that grew more urgent with each passing moment.

    Mike’s hands clutched at the sheets, his body moving in time with the steady, driving force above him. The pain had faded to a dull throb, replaced by an all-consuming pleasure that seemed to radiate from his core.

    Steven’s hips moved with a primal rhythm, each thrust pushing Mike further into the mattress. The sound of skin slapping against skin filled the room, punctuated by the occasional gasp or moan. The heat between them was hot, their bodies slick with sweat and desire.

    Mike’s eyes rolled back in his head as Steven’s cock hit that perfect spot inside of him, sending waves of pleasure through his body. He had never felt so alive, so connected to another person. He wrapped his legs around Steven’s waist, urging him deeper, wanting more.

    The older man’s breath grew ragged, his strokes becoming more erratic as he approached his climax. Mike could feel his orgasm building, his cock leaking precum onto his belly. He had never been so close to the edge, so desperate for release.

    “Steven,” Mike whimpered, his voice a plea. “Please, I need you to…”

    But the fisherman was lost in his world of sensation, his eyes squeezed shut as he thrust harder and faster. Mike felt himself falling, the world around him spinning out of control as the orgasm claimed him.

    With a final, deep plunge, Steven buried himself to the hilt, his climax following closely behind. He collapsed onto Mike, their bodies trembling with the aftershocks of pleasure. For a moment, there was only the sound of their panting breaths and the crackle of the fire from the lounge.

    As they lay there, their hearts racing and their skin sticky with sweat, Mike felt something shift within him. The barrier that had existed between them, the one that had kept them at arm’s length, was gone. In its place was a bond, forged in the heat of passion and tempered by trust.

    They stayed like that for a while, their bodies tangled together, until Steven pulled out, his cock slipping from Mike’s body with a wet sound that seemed almost obscene in the quiet. Mike rolled onto Steven and kissed him and then he sucked on his nipples as cum oozed out of him, leaking onto Steven. “Did you enjoy that for the first time?

    “It was amazing Steve, just amazing and the most exciting sexual experience I have ever had.”

    “Cool, I’m pleased because it was amazing for me as well. It felt different with you. More meaningful and satisfying.”

    They lay together for a while longer until Steven broke the quiet of the intimacy. “Let’s go fishing before we miss the chance because the shadows on the river are bringing the flies out for their dance over the water. The salmon love the challenge and bite at anything that flies.”

    “Oh, okay then,” responded Mike climbing off Steven to stand by the bed. Steven got up, his cum dribbling down his stomach, mingling with Mike’s fluids from his orgasm after lying on him.

    “Mike, what say you to fishing like this? We don’t need anything else, just the rod and the basket. What do you think?”

    Mike looked down at his naked body, then at Steven’s, and couldn’t help but smile. “Yeah,” he said, feeling a strange sense of freedom. “Let’s do it.”

    They grabbed their rods, stepping into the warm air without a second thought for their nudity. The river was theirs alone, a private sanctuary where they could indulge in this peculiar pastime. The sight of their bare skin, glistening with the remnants of their passion, was almost comical against the backdrop of the serene wilderness.

    Steven had changed something in Mike, opening his desire and sexuality in the most exciting manner whereby Mike wanted more of Steven which couldn’t wait as he lay Steven down on the grass by the river and took his cock again.

    The warmth of the afternoon air was a stark contrast to the heat between them as Mike eagerly took Steven’s cock into his mouth. The taste was familiar now, a heady blend of musk and sweat that only served to stoke the fire within him. His cheeks hollowed as he sucked, his tongue swirling around the shaft with an enthusiasm born of newfound desire.

    Steven groaned, his eyes drifting shut as Mike’s head bobbed up and down. The sensation was exquisite, the gentle tug of the younger man’s mouth sending jolts of pleasure through his body. He threaded his fingers through Mike’s hair, guiding the rhythm, the sounds of the river providing a soothing backdrop to their intimate act.

    As Mike worked his way down, he felt a strange sense of power, a feeling that he had never experienced before. He looked up to see Steven watching him, his eyes hooded with lust. The fisherman’s hand tightened in his hair, urging him on as he took the cock deeper, feeling it throb in his mouth.

    Their fishing gear lay forgotten beside them as Mike’s mouth slid up and down, the sun peeking over the horizon, casting a warm glow over their bodies. The early evening light played across Steven’s chest, highlighting the dusting of hair and the contours of muscle that Mike hadn’t noticed before.

    Mike’s cock was rock hard, bobbing against his belly as he gave himself over to the act of pleasing this man who had so unexpectedly entered his life. The sound of the water rushing by was a gentle reminder of the world outside their bubble as Steven unloaded into Mike’s mouth. Mike laid his head on Steven’s groin gently playing with the older man’s cock as it lost its hardness, but Mike continued to enjoy the taste of him, caught in the peace that was the riverbank as Mike continued to gently enjoy his cock.

    After a while, they became aware of the river again and without further delay, they got up and fished the rest of the evening, their nakedness felt natural, a symbol of the unspoken bond that had formed between them. Mark and Steven both noticed when either man became aroused as they fished but Mark thought Steven’s cock magnificent when compared to his manhood.

    “Steve, I just wanted to tell you, I love your cock, it’s magnificent.”

    “Mike, if we are being honest, I think you are beautiful, and I loved making love to you and can’t wait until the next time we share ourselves.”

    Mike looked at Steven standing in the river in a similar position. “If you can’t wait, let’s have a break because my arms are getting tired from casting the line but I’m not tired of you.”

    “Fair enough. I want you now Mike, I need you now, let’s fuck?” as Steven walked to the riverbank throwing his rob onto the grass.

    Mike followed; his arousal visible as he kissed Steven. Steven broke the embrace whispering in Mike’s ear, “I want you to kneel on all fours.”

    Mike complied eagerly, the dry grass cool against his skin as he presented his ass, waiting to be taken. The fisherman took a moment to appreciate the view, the tight muscles of Mike’s back and legs, the way his ass cheeks clenched with anticipation.

    Steven’s cock was already hard again, the desire for the young man a constant throb in his groin. He positioned himself behind Mike, his hand caressing the firm flesh before he lined up his cock with the waiting hole. With one smooth motion, he pushed inside, filling Mike to the brim with his girth using the remains of his seed from earlier as a suitable lubricant.

    Mike gasped, the sudden intrusion making him wobble slightly, but he managed to keep his balance as Steven began to move. The sensation was intense, the feeling of being claimed by this rugged man who had already taken him in and taught him so much.

    Steven’s rhythm grew faster, his hips slapping against Mike’s ass as he pounded into him. Mike’s moans grew louder, echoing through the forest as the sun began to set for the day.

    Their bodies moved in perfect harmony, the only sounds were their harsh breathing and the slap of skin on skin. Mike’s cock bobbed between his legs, leaking precum onto the grass as he rocked back into each thrust.

    The world around them faded away, the only thing that mattered was the connection they shared in that moment. The smell of the earth and the river mixed with the scent of their lust, creating an intoxicating aroma that seemed to fill the air.

    Steven reached around, his hand finding Mike’s cock, and began to stroke it in time with his thrusts. Mike’s breath hitched, his moans turning into keening cries of pleasure.

    The tension between them grew, their movements becoming more frantic as they chased their shared release. Mike’s body tightened, his muscles coiling like a spring as he felt himself approaching his climax.

    With a final, powerful thrust, Steven emptied himself into Mike, his cum mixing with the older fluid left from their previous lovemaking as the younger man’s seed shot out to spatter the grass beneath them.

    They collapsed together, panting and spent, the early evening light bathing them in a soft, golden glow as dusk began to settle around them. For a moment, they lay there, the only sound, the gentle lapping of the river and the pounding of their hearts.

    The intimacy of the moment was not lost on either of them. They had moved from being strangers to lovers in a single day and as they broke apart, collected their rods, and wandered slowly back to the cabin for dinner, more sex and perhaps…sleep.

    Having sealed their relationship the whole night, Mike was first to get up and stood outside in the nightshirt that Steven had provided him, drinking a coffee, and smoking a cigarette.

    Mike felt exhausted having experienced the best sex ever, feeling the effects of being fucked by Steven three more times that evening. Mike wondered where Steven got the energy from as he enjoyed the memories when Steven joined him, wearing his nightshirt. “Morning my love,” he said, his voice gruff from sleep.

    “Good morning, Steve,” he responded, feeling a thrill run through him as he took in the sight of the man he now knew so intimately. The events of the previous evening had been a revelation, a blur of passion and pleasure that had left him feeling both sated and hungry for more.

    They stood side by side, their nakedness protected under their nightshirts providing them with suitable warmth in the cool morning air. The sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon, casting long shadows across the cabin and the surrounding woods.

    Mike took a sip of his coffee, feeling the warmth spread through him as he cuddled into Steven’s shoulder. “I don’t know what to say,” he admitted finally. “I never thought I’d be here, doing this and I never thought I would be in love.”

    Steven chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “Life’s full of surprises,” he said, taking a drag on his cigarette. “You know, I’ve lived here a long time, and I’ve had a lot of people pass through. But you’re the first one who’s ever really… gotten under my skin. I am pleased you got lost and found me.”

    Mike looked at him, his heart swelling with a feeling he hadn’t known existed. “What does that mean?”

    Steven shrugged, his gaze drifting over Mike’s body. “It means that I want you to stay,” he said, his voice low and serious. “For as long as you want to. I can teach you everything you need to know about fishing, about the wilderness, about… this.” He gestured between them, his hand encompassing their newfound relationship.

    Mike felt a shiver of excitement run down his spine. “What if I don’t want to leave?” he asked, his voice barely a whisper.

    Steven turned to face him, his eyes searching Mike’s. “Then you don’t have to,” he said, leaning in for a kiss that was soft and full of promise.

    Mike melted into it, his body responding instinctively to the man he now knew he couldn’t live without. In such a brief time, he had found his place in the world, most extraordinarily. Their kisses grew more heated, their hands roaming over each other’s bodies as they moved closer.

    Before they knew it, Steven had bent Mike over the porch railing and had lifted his nightshirt and he discarded his own in a tangled heap on the floor. The urgency of the night before had given way to something slower, more deliberate as Steven stepped up behind Mike who had now pulled off his nightshirt letting it drop to the ground in front of the porch, taking his time to explore Mike’s body again, touching and kissing Mike’s back in a declaration of their newfound love.

    Steven’s cock was already hard, pressing against Mike’s opening as he kissed his back. Mike reached down to stroke his cock, feeling the velvety skin and the pulse of desire with precum leaking at an accelerated rate.

    The older man groaned, his hips moving in time with Mike’s bottom. “I need you,” he whispered, his voice hoarse with passion.

    Mike nodded, eager to give in to the need that had taken hold of them both as Steven pushed himself into Mike, allowing himself a deeper penetration from behind. They made love slowly, their bodies moving in a rhythm as the mountains that surrounded them remained impassive or judgemental.

    Steven kept thrusting from behind as Mike took hold of his cock, rubbing the shaft with a new level of excitement feeling the impending orgasm start to form. As Steven pounded his arse with a new vigour brought on by the early morning, he felt his orgasm starting to grow in response. The younger man came first, shooting his cum through the railing of the porch to land on his nightshirt followed by more spurts of cum until his balls became empty. Steven though held on for a while until he almost screamed as he felt himself release in the throes of his first climax of the day. The strength of Steven’s orgasm shocked Mike who felt something give way inside of him, a final barrier crumbling as he relinquished all control of his body to his lover. He knew that he had found his home, in this cabin, with this man he now considered his love.

    Steven stayed inside Mike who was bent over the porch railing trying to recompose his breathing. They stayed like that until Mike stood up as Steven embraced him, dropping out of his lover continuing to dribble his cum and Mike dribble seed onto Steven’s cock in the embrace that left no physical distance between each other. The warmth of the sun streamed onto the porch painting patterns on the floorboards as the two men felt the warmth of each other.

    Steven turned Mike around and kissed him as Mike looked into his eyes, feeling a sense of belonging that was both terrifying and exhilarating. “I’ll stay,” he said, his voice firm. “As long as you’ll have me.”

    Steven’s smile was all the answer he needed. “Good,” he said, kissing Mike softly. “Because I plan on keeping you around for a very long time.”

    Both men settled down for breakfast deciding not to get dressed as the warmth of the day started to offer them more comfort. After breakfast, Mike went outside and started to chop firewood, his naked form running with sweat down his back as he worked hard with Steven picking up the logs and piling them against the side of the cabin.

    As Mike stood taking a drink of water, Steven sat on the chopping block and invited Mike to sit on his lap facing him. Mike looked at Steven’s eyes closely, examining the reflection of his soul finding only love and compassion. Mike lifted himself a little allowing Steven’s cock to yet again access for another round of lovemaking but this time, there was no rush, no urgency, just tenderness. The gentle lovemaking culminated in Steven having another orgasm. Not as powerful as the previous one but more sensual and loving.

    “I love you Mike and I’m pleased you want to stay,” Steven whispered as he hugged Mike. “All I want to do is make love to you today and tonight.”

    “Steve, you can take me whenever you want. I give myself to you, mind body and soul but I’m not sure I can manage a day and a night. I just don’t understand where you get the energy from to keep servicing my needs as well as yours.”

    “Simple Mike, Salmon…Salmon is the answer to everything so, let’s go fishing and I vote we remain naked like yesterday and go with the flow…sorry for the pun.”

    The day became a blur of fishing and passionate lovemaking. Mike was delighted when he caught his first fish, a brown Trout, holding it up for Steven to see. Steven on the other hand went one-up when he netted his second salmon in two days. A real beauty when he held it up for Mike to see.

    During a cigarette break, Steven knelt between Mike’s legs and took his cock and milked him dry, swallowing everything until Mike started to complain he couldn’t take anymore because Steven wouldn’t stop licking the sensitive head of his cock.

    “How long do you think you could last until you beg for mercy if I kept on sucking you?” Steven asked Mike who had pushed him away trying to get him to stop.

    “I…I don’t know,” Mike responded gasping for breath from the over sensitivity of his gland. “Perhaps…you should tie me up and find out,” grabbing Steven for a kiss.

    With a wicked smile, Steven looked at his lover, “Perhaps I shall find out how much post-orgasm torture you can take. They tell me that the sensitivity only lasts so long until a man becomes ready to cum again.”

    “Steve, you want to find out how much I can take of you sucking my dick?”

    “Yep, really,” he responded. “I want to take you on a journey until you beg me to stop or push yourself through the pain barrier of sensitivity.”

    “I guess then we should pack up and go home and you can do what you want to do,” Mike stated, as yet again he felt himself becoming aroused.

    They packed up their fish and walked calmly back to the cabin. After putting the fish in the fridge, Steven disappeared to the shed, returning with some leather straps that Mike identified were going to restrain him in the name of science.

    “You ready?”

    “I guess so Steve,” Mike nervously declared.

    “Good, let’s go and have some fun.”

    Mike nodded, feeling his cock swell even further at the thought of what was to come. Steven led him to the bedroom, the anticipation making Mike’s heart race. He lay on the bed, his legs spread wide as Steven secured his wrists and ankles to the bedposts with the leather straps.

    The fisherman took a moment to appreciate the view, his cock thickening at the sight of Mike’s naked form, vulnerable and exposed. He leaned down, his warm breath ghosting over Mike’s cock as he licked the length of it, causing Mike to squirm.

    Mike’s eyes rolled back in his head as Steven took him in his mouth, his skilled tongue swirling around the head. The pleasure was intense, made more so by the knowledge that he was at Steven’s mercy. He felt his orgasm building, his hips bucking up off the bed as he approached the precipice.

    With a groan, Mike came, his body jerking with the force of his climax. But instead of pulling away, Steven continued to suck, his mouth working tirelessly as Mike’s cock grew increasingly sensitive.

    Mike’s moans grew louder, his body writhing in pleasure and pain as Steven pushed him through the barrier of sensitivity. “Please,” he gasped, his voice hoarse. “I can’t…”

    Steven looked up at him, his eyes glinting with amusement. “Oh, but you can,” he said, his voice a low growl. And with that, he took Mike’s cock in his mouth again, the sensation overwhelming.

    The younger man’s body was on fire, every nerve ending alight with sensation. He could feel the beginnings of another orgasm building, despite his protests. “No, no, no,” he moaned, but it was too late.

    The second climax hit him like a freight train, his body arching off the bed as he came again. This time, Steven didn’t stop, his tongue flicking and swirling until Mike’s cock was raw with sensitivity.

    Tears leaked from the corners of Mike’s eyes, his body trembling with the effort of enduring the relentless pleasure. “Steven, please,” he begged, his voice screaming no longer a whisper as before.

    The third climax hit him like a sumo wrestler charging into him, his breath almost spent, his entire body arching off the bed looking for a release, a way out as he came again. This time, Steven kept going, swallowing everything that Mike pumped out of his body, his tongue flicking everything until Mike’s cock was so raw with sensitivity and the multiple orgasms he had just been put through.

    Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Steven released Mike’s cock, a trail of saliva connecting them. “You did good, and I enjoyed watching you,” he murmured, stroking Mike’s thigh gently. “I’m proud of you and I love your cock and love you,” as he undid the leather restraints.

    Mike lay there, panting, and exhausted, his body feeling like it had been rewired. The intimacy of the experience, the power exchange, it was all too much to process.

    As they lay in bed, their bodies entwined. The fire cast a warm glow over the room, their skin slick with sweat from their exertions.

    “What now?” Mike asked, his voice still shaky from the intense experience.

    Steven kissed his forehead; his hand tracing patterns on Mike’s chest. “Now, we rest,” he said. “And tomorrow, we’ll do it all over again if you want to?”

    The words sent a thrill through Mike, a mix of excitement and trepidation. He had signed up for this journey, and he had no intention of turning back now.

    Their relationship was sealed, and the subsequent days saw their relationship grow. Mike learned the art of fly-fishing from Steven, the patience and precision of the sport becoming a metaphor for the relationship that was growing between them. At night, they would sit by the fire, sharing stories of their pasts, their hopes, and fears. The cabin, once a solitary bastion of survival, had become a sanctuary of love and learning.

    They made a film called Salmon Fishing in the Yemen but here Mike and Steve had their own love story, Salmon Fishing in the Rockies.

  • Man Up!

    “Manhunt” (Part 2)

    (30 years earlier)

    The rock struck the side of the little boy’s head with a dull thud.

    For a second, there was nothing but silence, no pain, no reaction, just the world tipping sideways as he stumbled, then crumpled to the ground. Then came the heat, the wet trickle of blood sliding down his temple, and the sound of laughter.

    Harsh, ugly laughter.

    The boy blinked, dazed, his tiny hands pressing against the dirt. He lifted his head just enough to see them standing over him, a group of older, stronger boys grinning down at him like a pack of hyenas.

    “Look at him,” one of them sneered.

    “He’s so scrawny,” another chimed in, nudging Nate’s leg with his foot. “No wonder his dad drinks himself stupid. Who’d be proud of this?”

    The words hit harder than the rock.

    The boy swallowed, his throat tight, his face burning with humiliation. He didn’t say anything. Didn’t look at them. He had learned the hard way that always made it worse.

    “He’s got his momma’s blood,” the first boy continued, his voice laced with something that made Nate’s stomach twist. “That’s why he looks so weird.”

    “Bet that’s why his daddy’s always at the bar,” another laughed. “Wouldn’t wanna go home to that, either.”

    The laughter rose again, louder, meaner, filling the small playground like a cruel wind. The boy pushed himself up, his body trembling. He turned and ran.

    He heard them calling after him, more insults, more laughter, but he didn’t stop. He didn’t turn around. He ran past the rusted slide, the swings with their broken chains, and the old park bench where the neighborhood drunks usually sat but were thankfully absent today. His feet pounded against the pavement as he made it to the corner.

    Only then, when he was sure he was out of sight, did he duck behind a trash bin, crouching low, his breath coming in ragged, uneven gasps. His fingers touched his temple and came away slick with blood.

    It stung, but not as much as the words.

    His thin shoulders shook, his face crumpled, and finally, he let the tears come. This was just another day in this boy’s life.

    He eventually picked himself up and walked with his head down, his small fingers curled into fists, the sting of the wound forgotten in the face of something deeper.

    The sidewalks were cracked, and the houses on the block leaned into each other as if exhausted. The convenience store sat at the end of the street, its neon OPEN sign slightly crooked. The door’s bell jingled as he stepped inside. The cold air washed over him, carrying the scent of old linoleum, cigarette smoke, and cheap coffee.

    His mother was behind the counter, stacking boxes of canned soup. She was small and graceful, with warm brown skin and dark curls pinned back. When she saw him, her hands froze in midair. 

    “Nathaniel?” Her soft yet urgent voice tightened his chest. She was at his side in seconds, her hands framing his face, her gray eyes scanning the wound on his temple. Her fingers were gentle but searching, brushing away the blood-streaked strands of hair. “Mijo, what happened?”

    Nathaniel tried to shrug. “Nothing. Just…”

    “Nada de eso,” she interrupted, her voice low, thick with worry. “This is not nothing.”

    Her thumb traced his cheek, the same way she did when he had fevers or nightmares and something in him nearly broke. “Who did this?” she asked.

    Before he could answer, a sharp voice cut through the moment.

    “Nathaniel! Again?”

    Mr. O’Shea, the store owner, came stomping from the back, his belly straining against his mustard-stained shirt. “I told you, boy. Quit showin’ up here while your mom’s working!” He waved a thick, stubby hand. “This ain’t no daycare. She’s got enough to do without you hangin’ around, gettin’ in the way.”

    Nathaniel flinched.
    But his mother didn’t. 

    She rose to her full height, small as she was. She had a way of making herself taller when she needed to. “He’s hurt,” she said, her voice even but firm.

    “I don’t care what he is,” O’Shea barked. “This store ain’t gonna run itself!”

    His mother exhaled sharply. Then she crouched in front of Nathaniel again, her hands on his shoulders. “I need you to go home, corazón,” she said softly. “Put some ice on this, okay? I’ll be there soon.”

    Nathaniel hesitated.

    “Listen to me.” She lowered her voice even more. “Don’t let your father see you like this. He’ll just get upset, and we don’t want that. Right?”

    Something changed in Nathaniel’s eyes then. The softness in him, the part that leaned into her touch, that wanted to crawl into her lap and let her hold him, hardened.

    He nodded once.

    His mother brushed a kiss over his forehead, right above the wound. Then she turned and went back behind the counter without another word, moving quickly as if nothing was wrong. As if O’Shea wasn’t still grumbling under his breath about kids these days.

    Nathaniel didn’t say goodbye. He pulled his hood up, walked out the door, back into the dimming light, and headed home.

    Their house sat at the end of the street, sagging against itself like an old man too tired to stand upright. The front steps were cracked, and weeds pushed through the concrete, but the door was clean, and the porch was swept. His mother always made sure of that.

    Inside, it smelled of soap and something faintly metallic, like old pennies. The floor creaked beneath his small feet as he stepped inside, shutting the door softly behind him. The living room was neat, the couch covered in a crocheted blanket his mother had made, the coffee table wiped clean, though its edges were chipped. The lace curtains fluttered slightly in the breeze, slipping through a crack in the window frame.

    Nathaniel let his backpack fall from his shoulder, landing with a soft thud near the door. His stomach growled, but he ignored it. He went straight to the fridge, his fingers gripping the cool metal handle. The fridge hummed when he opened it, its insides mostly bare, some eggs, half a loaf of bread, and a carton of milk with the date scribbled on it in marker so his mother would remember how long it had left. He reached for a pack of frozen peas, the plastic crinkling in his hand.

    He padded up the stairs, each step groaning under his weight. The narrow hallway was lined with a few family pictures: his mother’s graduation photo, a framed prayer card, and an old picture of him as a toddler, his face round and soft, sitting on his father’s lap. He looked happy in the picture, but he wasn’t sure if it had been true.

    His room was small, just big enough for a twin bed pushed against the wall, a short dresser, and a desk that wobbled if you leaned on it too hard. The walls were bare except for one drawing he had made in school, a house with a bright yellow sun overhead, a stick figure version of him and his mom standing in front. His father wasn’t in the picture. His teacher had asked him why, but he hadn’t answered.

    He climbed onto the bed, sinking into the thin mattress, pressing the frozen peas to the side of his head. The cold stung at first, then numbed the pain. He stared at the ceiling, tracing the cracks in the paint with his eyes.

    His six-year-old brain was restless.

    He thought about the boys at the playground, their laughter sharp as glass. He thought about his mother’s worried eyes, the way her hands trembled for just a second before she had steadied them, always steadying herself.

    And then he thought about him.
    His father.

    The way the air changed when he was home. The way his voice filled the house, thick and slurred some nights, sharp and cutting on others. The way his mother moved quieter when he was around, careful, as if she were walking through a house made of glass, afraid of making the wrong step.

    Nathaniel knew what it meant to have a drunk father before he even understood the word drunk. He knew what it meant when his mother whispered, “Shh, no hagas ruido,” when they heard the door open late at night. He knew what it meant when his father muttered things under his breath about her being mixed, about them having nothing, about how she should be grateful.

    Nathaniel squeezed his eyes shut.

    He was six years old. Six years old in a clean but broken house, with a mother who loved him and a father who did not. The frozen peas numbed the ache in his head but did nothing to ease the one in his chest. He stayed like that for a long time, until the peas softened, until the cold was gone, until his body finally gave in, and sleep took him away.

    *

    Who knows how long later, Nathaniel stirred awake, his small fingers still clutching the now-warm bag of peas. His head throbbed, but something else had jolted him from sleep.

    A sound.
    A door slamming.
    Then, heavy footsteps, uneven and slow.

    Nathaniel’s eyes widened. He remembered. He had left his backpack downstairs. He swung his legs off the bed, his heart beginning to hammer in his chest. He crept to his door, easing it open. The house had changed. It felt smaller, darker like something was folding in around it.

    He moved down the stairs on silent feet, the way his mother had taught him. Be quiet, mi amor. Be small.

    The living room flickered with the dull glow of the television, the sound of a baseball game rattling through the house. His father sat on the couch, his legs spread wide, a beer resting on his knee. His head hung low for a moment as if he might be asleep. Nathaniel could see his backpack just a few steps away by the front door.

    He held his breath and moved toward it.

    “I can see you, boy.”

    His father’s voice was slurred, thick with alcohol, but the weight of it still sent an icy dread through the boy’s bones. 

    Nathaniel stopped, his fingers inches from the strap of his bag. His father sniffed, rubbing his jaw before looking at him. His eyes were bloodshot, the emerald shadows beneath them deep, like bruises.

    “Where the hell you been?” he muttered, taking another swig of his beer.

    Nathaniel forced himself to stand straight. He knew how this worked. How his father worked. He had seen it before, on his mother, on himself. He had learned quickly that the best thing to do was not to give him anything to latch onto. No excuses. No reasons to get angrier.

    “Upstairs,” Nathaniel said softly.

    His father squinted and shook his head. “No, no, no,” he slurred. “I saw your bag. You came in late. Where were you?”

    Nathaniel hesitated.

    His father’s lips curled. He smiled, but it wasn’t a kind smile. It was something ugly, something that made Nathaniel’s stomach twist. “You deaf, boy?”

    Nathaniel swallowed. “I was at the playground.”

    His father chuckled dryly, shaking his head. “Playground.” He let the word sit in his mouth like it disgusted him. “What are you, a little girl? Playing like some damn weakling?”

    Nathaniel bit the inside of his cheek. He wanted to tell him the truth, that he wasn’t playing, that he was running, that he had been hurt. But he knew it wouldn’t matter.

    His father took a deep breath, leaning back against the couch. “Your mother…she makes you soft.” He took another sip, eyes flickering to the TV before looking back at Nathaniel. “Come here.”

    Nathaniel didn’t move.

    His father’s jaw tightened. “I said come here.”

    Slowly, Nathaniel stepped forward, his stomach knotting tighter with each step. He stood beside his father, his little fists clenched at his sides.

    His father studied him, eyes flicking over his frame. “Too damn skinny,” he muttered. “Too damn quiet.” Nathaniel didn’t say anything. His father leaned in suddenly, his breath reeking of beer. “You scared?” Nathaniel shook his head quickly. His father smiled again, that same ugly smile. He reached out, grabbing Nathaniel’s chin roughly. “Liar.” Nathaniel gasped, trying to pull back, but his father’s grip was tight. “Look at you. Frail little shit.” His fingers dug into Nathaniel’s jaw. “No boy of mine is gonna be this soft.”

    “I’m not…”

    The slap came so fast that Nathaniel barely registered it. His head snapped to the side, the sting blooming across his cheek. His ears rang. His vision blurred for a second before he forced himself to focus. His father was watching him, waiting. 

    Waiting for him to cry.

    Nathaniel’s throat burned, but he held it back.

    His father scoffed. “Damn, brat. You cry, and I’ll really give you something to cry about.” Nathaniel clenched his jaw, his small hands shaking. His father smirked, satisfied. “That’s more like it.”

    Nathaniel wanted to run, to go back upstairs, but he knew he wasn’t allowed to move yet. His father had to let him go.

    The man leaned back on the couch again, taking another sip. Nathaniel didn’t move. His father turned his head slowly, his expression darkening. The baseball game droned on in the background. His father acted as if nothing had happened. But Nathaniel didn’t flinch, his face stinging, his little hands trembling beside his legs.

    He didn’t cry.
    He didn’t move.
    He just stood there, waiting for it to be over.

    It must have been at least a couple of hours before the front door creaked open.

    Nathaniel hadn’t moved. In fact, he was still standing beside his father’s armchair. His little legs trembled beneath him, aching, the blood in them sluggish and weak. The baseball game had long since ended, and the screen was now playing late-night commercials. His father had fallen asleep at some point, his beer bottle rolling to the floor, its contents soaking into the carpet.

    Nathaniel barely breathed. Until.

    “Nathaniel?” His mother’s voice was soft, almost too soft. Like she was afraid of what she would find. She stepped inside, and when she spotted him, she stopped.

    Nathaniel saw it in her face immediately, the way her mouth parted slightly, the way her eyes scanned him, taking in the stiff way he stood, the slight redness on his cheek, the way his arms hung limply at his sides.

    Her fingers twitched at her sides, her lips pressing together as she turned toward the man in the chair. “Daniel,” she said, her voice controlled.

    His father stirred, blinking heavily before groaning. “What?” he grumbled.

    She took a breath. “Let the boy go upstairs and shower.”

    His father snorted, rubbing his face. “Are you trying to order me around, woman?”

    She stepped forward. “Please.”

    He glanced at her, and Nathaniel tensed. His father’s face twisted, his brows knitting together. “Don’t please me, you fuckin’ bitch,” he spat, pushing himself up. “I come home, and where are you? Working. I sit here, and what do I get? A please?”

    She didn’t respond.

    He stepped closer, his hands twitching like he was deciding whether to grab or strike her. Nathaniel’s stomach clenched. “You’re supposed to be home when I get here,” his father sneered, voice thick with alcohol. “You’re supposed to take care of things.”

    Her jaw tightened. “Like you do?”

    Daniel’s eyes flashed. Nathaniel flinched, expecting the worst, but his father just let out a cruel laugh. “Oh, you got a mouth on you today, huh?” His mother didn’t respond. Daniel scoffed and turned his attention to Nathaniel, his lip curling. “Your boy’s a fucking pussy.” 

    His mother’s fingers twitched again. “He’s tired, Daniel. He’s been standing there for hours…”

    Daniel leaned in slightly. “So?”

    His mother let out a slow breath. “Let him go upstairs.”

    Javier stared at her. He wasn’t looking at Nathaniel anymore. He was looking at her.

    Nathaniel knew what that meant.

    His father finally exhaled sharply and shoved past them both, heading toward the bathroom. The door slammed behind him.

    His mother turned to him immediately, her hands coming up to cup his face, her brows knitting together in pain. “Nathaniel,” she whispered.

    His throat felt tight. “I forgot my bag downstairs,” he mumbled.

    Her fingers gently brushed the red mark on his cheek, her eyes dark with something unreadable.

    “It’s okay,” she said softly. She sighed, smoothing his hair before pulling him into a hug. He let her, pressing his face against her shoulder, taking in the scent of her, warm and safe, even here, even now. She held him tighter. “You don’t deserve this,” she murmured.

    Nathaniel closed his eyes. Neither of them said anything else.

    They just stood there, listening to the sound of the toilet flush, waiting for another night in that house to pass.

    Later that night, well into the evening, Nathaniel lay in his small bed, curled up beneath the thin sheets, his eyes open and fixed on the wall. He could hear everything.

    The moans from his parents’ bedroom.

    Not the kind from the movies, the type that made kids giggle and adults embarrassed. These were different. They were rough. Desperate. Angry. He could hear his mother’s strained gasps, her muffled whimpers, and the creak of the bed frame against the wall.

    Then, silence.

    A door opened. Heavy footsteps moved down the hallway, down the stairs. Nathaniel squeezed his eyes shut, willing himself to sleep, to sink into some deep, dreamless void where he couldn’t hear the sound of his mother crying in the next room. He turned in his bed, burying his face in the pillow.

    Then, the slow shuffle of feet. The soft creak of the bathroom door. The sound of the shower running.

    Nathaniel didn’t move.

    A while later, the door to his room opened. The footsteps were light this time, careful. His bed dipped slightly, and a warm, soft hand settled gently on his back.

    “Nate…?” his mother whispered.

    He didn’t answer. She stroked his back slowly, tracing small circles with her fingertips. Her breath hitched.

    And then, she wept.

    She tried to be quiet, covering her mouth with her hand, but Nathaniel could hear it. Could feel it. The way her body shook beside him, the way her fingers clutched at the fabric of his thin pajama shirt as if holding onto him would keep her from slipping away.

    “I’m sorry,” she murmured through her tears. “I’m so sorry.”

    Nathaniel stayed still, pretending to sleep. Her hand drifted from his back to his arm, wrapping around him as she lay beside him. She pressed her forehead against his back, her breath warm through his shirt, her body trembling against his small frame.

    Then, softly, she began to sing.

    A lullaby in a language Nathaniel didn’t fully understand but knew in his bones. Her voice was hushed and raw, but it was beautiful. A melody she had probably been sung as a child. A song meant to soothe, to comfort, to promise a world that was kind and safe.

    She sang it for him. But she was singing it for herself, too.

    “Buenas noches mi amor
    Cierra bien tus ojitos
    Que la noche viene ya
    Su canción te arrullará 

    Al dormir estarás entre nubes y flores
    Que te invitan a soñar con su voz primaveral
    Con un rayo de luz
    La mañana estiba 

    Tan radiante y azul
    En tu cuarto te esperará
    Buenas noches mi amor
    Con la música blanca 

    De la noche celestial
    Duerme ya feliz en paz
    Su canción es la voz
    De la luna plateada 

    Luna buena, luna fiel
    Que por ti brillando está
    En sus alas de luz
    Como un ángel de plata
    por la aurora boreal tu carita se asomará 
    Duerme ya.”

    Nathaniel’s fingers curled into his pillow, his throat aching.

    She kept singing, her voice fragile but unwavering, holding them both together in the dark.

    (Six years later)

    The kid’s nose was a bleeding mess. 

    Which didn’t seem to bother Nathaniel in the slightest as he stood on top of him, fists driving into flesh and bone, feeling the satisfying crunch of knuckles against cheekbone, enjoying the way the kid’s body flinched beneath him with every hit.

    The other students circled around, their voices rising in excitement, a violent, feverish chorus of fight, fight, fight!

    Nathaniel’s hands were red, his breathing ragged, and his vision tunneled. He didn’t hear the teacher screaming at them to stop.

    Then, hands yanked him back.

    Strong arms wrapped around his chest, pulling him off the kid beneath him, whose face was a mess of blood and snot. Nathaniel struggled against them, his body writhing, but they held him firm. “Enough, Nathaniel!” 

    The words finally cut through the haze. He stopped struggling, and the energy drained from his limbs as he realized what had happened.

    Again.

    One of the school staff dragged him through the hallway, his pulse still hammering, his knuckles raw and burning. The principal’s office door loomed ahead. The same door he had seen too many times before. When they shoved him inside, the door slammed shut behind him.

    “Nathaniel, sit.” The principal, Mr. Cherof, sighed heavily and pinched the bridge of his nose before sitting behind his desk. He was an older man, gray around the temples, with tired eyes that had seen too many kids like him. “This is the third time this month,” Mr. Cherof said. “Third time, Nathaniel.”

    Nathaniel crossed his arms, his lip curling. “So?”

    “So,” the principal snapped, “you’re on the verge of getting expelled.” Nathaniel shrugged, glancing toward the door. Mr. Cherof followed his gaze and shook his head. “You think this is a joke, don’t you?” Nate just sat there and said nothing. “Look, I know how things are…at home,” the man continued, his voice quieter now, more measured. “I know about your father.” Nathaniel’s shoulders tensed. His jaw clenched. “But I also know you’re not him.”

    Nathaniel let out a short, breathy laugh. “Last time I checked, I was him.” He held up his bruised hands. “See? Got the fists to prove it.”

    Mr. Cherof’s mouth pressed into a hard line. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the desk. “You’re twelve, Nathaniel. If you go down this road, you’ll end up exactly where he is. Drunk, angry, and wasting your life.” Nathaniel turned his face away. “But you’re smart,” Mr. Cherof pressed. “Smarter than half the kids in this school. If you applied yourself, you could do something with your life. You could get out of this town, go to college, build something better.”

    Nathaniel scoffed, but something flickered in his eyes.

    The principal observed him. “One day, you’ll have your own family. And you’ll understand…that not every family is like yours, Nathaniel.”

    That stopped him. The words hit something deep, something he hadn’t let himself think about before. He could have a different life. A different family. For a moment, Nathaniel just stood there, staring at the principal.

    Then, he finally muttered. “Can I go now?”

    Mr. Cherof exhaled, rubbing a hand over his face. “Go to the nurse. Get those hands cleaned up.”

    Nathaniel turned for the door, hesitating before slamming it shut behind him.

    That afternoon, he left school and walked with his hands stuffed into his pockets, the sting in his knuckles pulsing in time with his heartbeat.

    He should’ve gone straight home. Should’ve taken the usual streets back to his block, to the decrepit house with its peeling paint and cracked windows, to his father’s slurred insults and his mother’s weary eyes.

    But his feet took him somewhere else.

    The town’s public garden stretched ahead, a patch of green in the middle of cracked sidewalks and dull gray buildings. It was peaceful here, a blob of damp earth and cut grass. A few people lingered: old women sitting on benches and a couple pushing a stroller. Nathaniel dropped onto an empty bench, exhaling.

    Across the path, a man and a boy played with a ball on the open grass.

    Nathaniel watched them without meaning to. The tall, broad-shouldered man dressed in a work shirt and jeans kicked the ball lightly to his son, who couldn’t have been older than six. The kid laughed, clumsy and excited, his arms flailing as he ran after it. When he tripped and fell, the man immediately knelt beside him, brushing dirt off his scraped knees.

    “You okay?” The father’s voice was gentle and full of warmth. The boy sniffled but nodded. The man smiled, ruffling his son’s hair before helping him back up. “Atta boy. Wanna try again?” The kid grinned, wiped his nose on his sleeve, and nodded. Then, the game continued.

    Nathaniel felt something tighten in his chest.

    He sat there, unmoving, eyes locked on them. The way the father laughed when his son scored a goal, sweeping him up into the air as the boy squealed with joy. The way he clapped him on the back told him he was proud. The way his hands were steady and sure, never raised in anger.

    Nathaniel’s fingers curled into fists in his lap.
    He wanted that.
    Not to have it, necessarily, but to give it.

    A son. A child. Someone he could hold the way that man held his boy. Someone he could teach, someone who wouldn’t flinch when he raised a hand. Someone who would never have to feel the way Nathaniel had felt his whole life. Small, unwanted, terrified.

    The ache inside him spread, raw and deep. Nathaniel swallowed hard and looked away. He got up and left before the feeling could consume him whole.

    But how could it not?
    After all, he knew exactly what awaited him once he got back home.

    *

    (Present time)

    Caleb was drowning inside a nightmare.

    Darkness folded around him, thick and suffocating, pressing into his lungs until his breath came in sharp, shallow gasps. Somewhere ahead, he could hear footsteps, getting closer and closer, the sound crushing around him.

    “Dad…” His own voice cracked, desperate. “Please…come back…”

    A hand suddenly appeared, firm but familiar. A voice, low and warm, whispered against his ear.

    “Hey, kiddo.”

    Caleb gasped, his eyes snapping open.

    The world around him came into focus, the car’s cracked leather seat beneath him, the windshield fogged with the chill of the early morning air. His chest heaved, his skin damp with sweat. His heart slammed against his ribs as the lingering whispers of his dream faded into silence.

    Beside him, Ryan sat watching.

    His blue eyes burned, quiet and steady, their weight pressing against Caleb like an anchor. He didn’t speak, didn’t move. Just watched.

    Caleb swallowed, forcing himself upright, and the stiffness in his body made him wince. He scrubbed a hand over his face, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep, of Nate’s voice still echoing in his head.

    Ryan finally broke the silence. “Bad dream?”

    Caleb didn’t answer. He wasn’t sure he could. Instead, he glanced at the road, the long stretch of empty highway vanishing into the horizon. He exhaled sharply, his head falling back against the seat. “How far are we?”

    “Two days. Maybe less if we don’t stop much,” Ryan replied.

    Caleb let that sink in, the thought of two more days trapped inside the car making his skin itch. “I can’t,” he muttered. “I can’t sit in this damn car any longer.”

    Ryan snorted, stretching his arms before gripping the wheel again. “Yeah, well, we’re not exactly on some relaxing vacation, nerd.”

    Caleb glared at him, but there was no real bite behind it. His body felt heavy and drained. He sighed, shifting to look out the window. “Let’s stop in the next town. Get some food, stretch our legs.”

    Ryan was quiet for a beat. Then, finally, he nodded. “Fine.”

    Without another word, he veered the car toward the nearest exit. The town was small, the kind of place where the buildings all looked a little too old, the streets a little too empty. The only real sign of life came from a diner on the corner, its windows glowing a warm yellow against the early morning gray.

    Ryan shoved his hands into his jacket pockets as they approached. “This place looks like it won’t kill us,” he muttered.

    Caleb sighed. “Low bar you’ve set there.”

    Ryan ignored him, pushing open the door. The smell of bacon grease and coffee hit immediately, thick and familiar. The place was half-empty, with just a few truckers hunched over their breakfasts, a waitress wiping down the counter, a small group of young women, and the distant hum of a radio playing some old country song.

    Ryan beelined for the register near the counter. “Gonna grab smokes,” he tossed over his shoulder.

    Caleb rolled his eyes and made his way toward a booth tucked into the corner. He slid in, sighing as he set his backpack down beside him. The seat was stiff, and the fake leather cracked, but it felt nice to be sitting somewhere that wasn’t the damn car.

    A minute later, Ryan dropped into the seat across from him, tossing several packs of cigarettes onto the table. Caleb’s brows furrowed. “Really?” he said, crossing his arms. “You used our cash on that?”

    Ryan scoffed, stuffing one of the packs into his pocket. “I didn’t smoke once yesterday. Given the hell we went through, I think I deserve it.”

    Caleb leaned back, exhaling through his nose. “Deserve lung cancer, maybe.”

    Ryan flipped him off as the waitress appeared beside them, pen poised over her notepad. She was older, maybe in her fifties, with tired eyes and a skeptical expression. “What can I get you, boys?” she asked, voice raspy from what had to be a lifetime of cigarettes, probably the same brand Ryan had just bought.

    They ordered. Coffee, eggs, toast, whatever was cheap.

    As the waitress turned to leave, Caleb caught her looking at them. Something about it made him uncomfortable. He waited until she walked away before muttering, “I don’t like how she looked at us.”

    Ryan arched a brow. “Relax. She probably just thought you were cute.”

    Caleb shot him a look. “Shut up.” 

    Ryan smirked, reaching for his lighter.

    Caleb turned to his backpack, unzipping it with one hand while pushing his hair out of his face with the other. He rummaged through it idly until his fingers brushed against something unexpected. A hardcover spine.

    He stilled. Slowly, he pulled it out, his brows knitting together as he stared at the book in his hands. Ryan glanced up and immediately looked away, suddenly very interested in his cigarette pack.

    Caleb turned the book over, flipping through the pages before gazing back at Ryan. “Did you put this here?”

    Ryan exhaled, tilting his head back against the seat. For a second, he didn’t answer. Then, finally, with an almost reluctant shrug, he muttered, “Yeah.”

    Caleb’s grip on the book tightened. A heavy silence stretched between them. Caleb swallowed, glancing at the cover again before murmuring, “Thanks.”

    Ryan’s fingers drummed against the table. “Whatever.”

    The waitress came back, setting their plates down. The conversation died as they ate in silence. The food on Caleb’s plate was half-eaten and going cold, but he barely noticed. His stomach was tight, his hands restless. Across the booth, Ryan was watching him. He was not eating, not smoking, just watching.

    Caleb’s fingers drummed against the table, his pulse picking up. “What?”

    Ryan tilted his head slightly as if debating something before finally saying, “You talk in your sleep.”

    Caleb blinked. Then scoffed. “No, I don’t.”

    Ryan leaned back, crossing his arms. “Dude. We’ve shared a room for months. You do.”

    Caleb shifted uncomfortably, suddenly hyper-aware of how trapped the booth felt. “What do I even say?”

    Ryan shrugged. “Most of it’s just gibberish, but…” He trailed off, watching Caleb closely. “It doesn’t sound pleasant.”

    A shiver ran down Caleb’s spine. He knew Ryan was right.

    He’d always had the same nightmare. For as long as he could remember. It always started with Nate’s low, almost whispering voice. Shadows stretching toward him. And a hand, large and strong, reaching for him as he scrambled for something just out of his grasp. And then he would feel it. Nate’s smell.

    Caleb exhaled sharply, shaking his head, trying to rid himself of the image. He looked up, only to find Ryan furrowing his brows, studying him like he was trying to figure out what Caleb wasn’t saying.

    Something in Caleb snapped. “Stop looking at me like that.”

    Ryan raised his hands in mock surrender. “Fine.” He brought his hands down, his fingers hammering the table like a drum. Then, after a beat, “We need to go out.”

    Caleb frowned. “Out? Are you crazy? We’re literally running from the police, feds, or whoever the fuck they are.”

    Ryan sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “Yeah, and you’re wound so tight, you’re gonna snap in half if you don’t vent soon.”

    “I need to find him,” Caleb shot back. “That’s all…”

    Ryan gave a short, dry laugh. “Well, that might not happen any time soon, nerd. In the meantime, you need to breathe. We’re going out.”

    Before Caleb could argue, Ryan was already on his feet. He turned toward a booth near the entrance, where the girls sat, giggling and stirring their drinks with lazy interest. Ryan approached them with the kind of ease that made Caleb want to shrink into himself. The confidence. The effortless charm. The way he leaned slightly against the table, flashing that half-smirk that made girls look.

    Caleb lingered in the booth, his fingers brushing Edmund White’s book, which Ryan had slipped into his bag. A small, stupid part of him felt something shift, something uncomfortable and unfamiliar. Ryan was just Ryan, right? Loud, annoying, reckless Ryan. Then why was Caleb suddenly watching him like this?

    Before he could unpack that thought, Ryan was back, yanking the book from Caleb’s hands and snapping it shut. “C’mon, bookworm. We’re leaving.”

    Caleb glared. “Where?”

    Ryan smirked. “It’s a surprise.”

    *

    Ryan leaned against the car. A cigarette hung from his lips, a slow ember burning at the tip. His black tank top clung to his torso, the faint sheen of sweat glistening the fabric. His tight jeans hugged his legs in a way that made him look effortlessly put together. He ran a hand through his sleeked-back raven hair, exhaling smoke into the air, his cerulean eyes flicking toward the public restroom entrance.

    Then, the door creaked open.
    And the world stopped.

    Caleb stepped out, moving as if time had slowed to a crawl. His unruly curls framed his pale face, damp strands sticking to his forehead. His green eyes, sharp and unfocused, flickered toward Ryan before looking past him. The pearl-white tank top he wore shimmered, slightly sheer, clinging to the lines of his torso. And those denim shorts, short enough to accentuate his long, lean legs, seemed to elongate his frame even more.

    Ryan’s cigarette hung forgotten in his mouth.

    Caleb walked toward him, utterly oblivious to Ryan’s throat going dry, his fingers twitching at his side, and something stirring deep in his gut. He moved with the same effortless grace he always had, like he belonged to a different world, one too soft and sharp all at once for Ryan to fully grasp.

    “Okay, let’s get this over with,” Caleb muttered as he neared, his voice carrying that familiar edge of exasperation, like going out was some chore he had to endure.

    Ryan blinked, snapping out of whatever daze had overtaken him. He muttered something, he wasn’t even sure what, before flicking his cigarette to the ground and grinding it out with his boot. Without another word, he climbed into the driver’s seat while Caleb slid into the passenger side, tossing his backpack to the side.

    Ryan gripped the steering wheel. Then, without looking at Caleb, he threw the car into gear and drove off into the night.

    Ten minutes later, they were parking the car near a dock. The nightclub loomed ahead like an oasis of neon and thumping bass, tucked away on the outskirts of town. A place that smelled of spilled liquor, sweat, and something faintly illicit. Ryan walked with the same cocky stride he always had, his confidence cutting through the thick, humid air. Caleb, on the other hand, hesitated. The closer they got, the more out of place he felt, his pulse picking up. The group of girls Ryan had charmed at the diner stood by the entrance, their faces alight with excitement. One of them, a brunette with glossy lips and dark, kohl-lined eyes, grabbed Caleb’s wrist and tugged him forward.

    “Come on,” she grinned. “You’ll like it.”

    He doubted that. But the bouncer barely glanced at them before letting them in.

    Inside, the club was a living thing, pulsing, shifting, swallowing them whole. The music was deafening, the bass vibrating through the walls, through their bones. Bodies moved together in a hypnotic rhythm, arms raised, hips rolling. Strobe lights cut through the darkness, illuminating flashes of open mouths, sweat-drenched necks, and fingers trailing over strangers’ backs.

    Caleb lingered near the entrance, staring. He didn’t belong here. The heat of the place pressed in on him, thick and unrelenting.

    “Caleb!”

    Ryan’s voice cut through the noise. Caleb turned to find him at the bar, surrounded by the girls and a few other stragglers, a lineup of shots waiting. With some reluctance, he pushed through the crowd and joined them. One shot turned into two. Then three. The liquor burned, but it did nothing to ease the tension in his chest. Ryan, on the other hand, was thriving. Caleb watched him laugh, talk, charm his way through the room like he was built for it. Then, an older guy slid into the mix. Tall, handsome, and confident. He leaned close to Ryan, whispering something in his ear. Ryan smirked, tilting his head in amusement, his fingers idly playing with the condensation on his glass.

    Something twisted inside Caleb.

    It made no sense. But the sight of Ryan, his easy charm, the way he leaned into the guy’s space, and how effortlessly he could give himself to the night unnerved him. He pushed back from the bar.

    Ryan caught his wrist before he could leave. “Where you going?”

    “Bathroom,” Caleb replied. Ryan’s eyes lingered, but he let go. Caleb wove his way through the crowd, ignoring the heat in his chest and the tightness in his throat.

    The bass was muffled inside the bathroom, but the energy still crackled in the air. Caleb stepped into a stall, relieving himself, his head spinning slightly. He wasn’t as drunk as most people here, but there was a weight behind his eyes, a slow hum in his veins.

    Then came a knock.

    Caleb sighed. “Occupied.” The door swung open anyway. It was Ryan. Caleb’s frustration spiked. “Jesus, dude, what the hell?”

    Ryan leaned against the stall wall, smirking, arms crossed. “You really need to relax.” Caleb turned, mirroring his stance against the opposite wall, arms folded. They stared at each other, the air charged, thick. Ryan lifted a water bottle, extending it toward Caleb. “Drink.”

    Caleb narrowed his eyes but took it, chugging the water in one go. It was ice-cold, soothing against his burning throat.

    Ryan watched him, something unreadable in his expression. Then, with a lazy grin, he pushed off the wall. “Try not to have fun now, nerd,” he murmured before slipping out the door.

    Caleb frowned. When he stepped toward the mirror, his reflection blinked back at him, eyes slightly wider, pupils dilated. He ran cold water over his face, shaking off the strange warmth creeping up his spine.

    Behind him, a few guys glanced his way, subtle at first, then less so. Their eyes trailed over his body, intrigued, drawn in. He exhaled sharply and walked back onto the dance floor.

    The moment his feet hit the main floor, something shifted.

    The world brightened. Everything shimmered, edges blurring, turning soft, fluid. The air was heavier, wrapping around him like a thick velvet curtain. And the music, God, the music was everywhere. It sank into his bones, curled around his limbs, and took control of his body.

    Caleb moved.

    Through the haze, through the heat, through the bodies pressing in on all sides. The pulsing lights splashed him in flashes of gold and indigo, and for the first time that night, he stopped thinking. The music throbbed like a heartbeat beneath Caleb’s feet, the bass winding through his veins, carrying him somewhere weightless. It was as if the universe cracked open, spilling light and sound into his bones. 

    Caleb let go.

    His body moved without thought, without restraint. His arms lifted, his long, lean frame twisting, unfolding, bending. He was a creature of motion, a bird breaking free from its cage, gliding effortlessly through the air. His denim shorts clung to his thighs as he turned, his pearl tank shimmering under the strobe lights, his curls damp against his forehead. The moment swallowed him whole.

    And the crowd noticed.

    Bodies slowed, conversations hushed, eyes drawn, one by one, to the ethereal creature standing in the center of the dance floor. Caleb was pale fire, burning in rhythm, a strange and luminous thing among the neon haze. People moved aside, giving him space, watching, enthralled.

    Across the room, Ryan sat at the bar, legs spread, a cigarette dangling from his fingers. The older guy was still there, leaning in, whispering, desperately trying to get his attention. But Ryan wasn’t listening.

    He was watching Caleb.
    Really watching him.
    Something in his chest clenched.

    For two years, he had known Caleb as this spoiled, quick-witted, yet slightly aloof boy with narrowed green eyes. But this? This was different. This was the Caleb that had been hiding in plain sight. His movements were fluid, hypnotic. The way his body arched and turned, how his hands carved through the air, it was something pure, something unfiltered.

    And it was fucking beautiful.

    Ryan found himself smiling. Not a smirk, not the usual cocky curve of his lips, but something softer, something real. His fingers twitched.

    Then, he stood up.

    The guy beside him mumbled something, but Ryan had already started moving, slipping through the mass of bodies with singular focus. He stalked the dance floor’s edge, circling, watching Caleb from every angle, enjoying how oblivious, wild, untamed, and lost in his own world he was. His head tipped back, throat bare, mouth parted as he let the music take him. The way the lights hit him, how the sweat gleamed on his skin.

    It was like some fever dream Ryan never wanted to wake from.

    Then Caleb turned, and for a split second, their eyes met.

    Ryan didn’t hesitate. But that was Ryan’s nature. He never did. He stepped into the current, cutting through the bodies that separated them, slipping into the space beside Caleb. And just like that, they were dancing. No words. No hesitation. Just movement.

    Ryan matched Caleb’s rhythm, their bodies weaving in and out of each other’s gravity, never quite touching but always close.

    And soon, the rest of the club melted away. The crowd, the music, the flashing lights were all background noise to the reckless, raw energy between them. Caleb’s fingers brushed against Ryan’s wrist just for a second, but it sent something sharp through Ryan’s chest.

    Soon, the world was nothing but a blur of flashing lights, pounding music, and the sharp taste of adrenaline on Caleb’s tongue. He hadn’t even noticed them at first, the group of guys standing at the edge of the dance floor, their sneers cutting through the haze like a knife.

    But Ryan had.

    The first slur came low and mean, spat between smirks and cheap beer. Ryan tensed, his shoulders squaring, his blue eyes darkening with something dangerous. Caleb was still lost in the music, his body moving, unbothered. But then, another slur. Then another. 

    Until Ryan finally turned. “What the fuck did you just say?” His voice was sharp, slicing.

    The tallest one stepped forward, grinning like he’d just been given permission. “Said you two are dancing a little too close. You faggots or something?”

    Ryan tilted his head, smirking. “Jealous?”

    That did it. The guy lunged. But Ryan was ready.

    He caught the first swing, dodging to the side and slamming his fist into the guy’s ribs. A second came at him, and Ryan twisted, throwing a brutal punch that sent the asshole stumbling back into the crowd. But there were too many. One of them, bigger, meaner, set his sights on Caleb. The guy swung. And Ryan moved without thinking. He stepped in front of Caleb, taking the hit meant for him. The impact rocked through him, a white-hot explosion of pain across his cheekbone, but he stayed on his feet, spitting blood onto the floor.

    That snapped Caleb out of it.

    He stood frozen for a heartbeat, his green eyes wide, watching as Ryan took on three guys at once, kicking, punching, and moving like a street brawler who had nothing to lose. Then, one of them grabbed Ryan from behind, locking his arms and driving him to the ground.

    Just then, something inside Caleb shifted.

    He moved before he could think, his body acting on instinct, on something old and buried. He caught the guy pinning Ryan and yanked him off, throwing him to the floor. Then he was on him, straddling his chest, his fists flying, one, two, three, four, relentless, fueled by something dark and unspoken. 

    Ryan, still gasping on the floor, stared up in shock.

    He had never seen Caleb like this.
    It was like seeing Nate.

    He smirked through bloody teeth, then reached up, grabbing Caleb’s wrist before he could throw another punch.

    “Right,” Ryan panted, watching two security guys moving around the back of the room. “That’s our cue, killer.” He hauled Caleb to his feet, their hands slick with sweat and blood. 

    The club was chaos, shouting, shoving, shadows moving in. “Shit,” Ryan muttered. He grabbed Caleb’s arm, yanking him toward the exit. They shoved through the doors, the night air hitting them like a slap. Behind them, someone was yelling, security, maybe, or the assholes they had just left bleeding on the floor. “RUN!” Ryan barked.

    And they did.

    They tore through the parking lot, side by side, their breath coming in wild, exhilarated gasps. The world blurred, the distant sound of music still pulsing from the club, the laughter bubbling up from their throats like something they hadn’t felt in years.

    Caleb looked over at Ryan, his sharp grin, his bruised cheekbone, the reckless glint in his eyes, and for the first time in what felt like forever, Caleb laughed.

    A real, full-bodied laugh.

    Ryan laughed too, breathless and free. They ran. Ran like boys who had never been caught.

    They slammed the car doors shut, their chests heaving, eyes scouring around, making sure their followers had finally forfeited. The adrenaline still hummed in their veins, but their laughter, sharp and breathless, began to wane.

    Caleb leaned his head back against the seat, eyes fluttering closed for a second, just breathing. When he opened them again, Ryan was staring at him. Neither of them spoke. Ryan’s blue eyes flickered as if realizing the moment’s weight, and he shifted slightly like he was about to pull away.

    But Caleb moved first.

    Slowly, effortlessly, he slid across the seat, straddling Ryan’s lap, his tall frame looming over him. His legs bracketed Ryan’s hips, his hands resting on the headrest behind Ryan, caging him in. Ryan inhaled sharply, his hands instinctively gripping the sides of his seat. His breath was hot and unsteady as he looked up, his eyes flickering between Caleb’s face and the bruises blooming on his pale skin.

    “You’re bleeding,” Caleb murmured, his gaze lingering on Ryan’s split lip.

    Ryan smirked, though it was weaker than usual. “So are you.”

    Caleb didn’t respond right away. He studied Ryan, his green eyes flickering in the dark. Then, after a long pause, he asked quietly, “Why did you defend me?” Ryan snorted, the tension breaking just slightly. It felt like he wanted to answer, but he simply shrugged. “You could’ve let them hit me,” Caleb said, his voice even, as if stating a fact. 

    Ryan rolled his eyes. “Right, and then Nate would kill me. I’d never hear the end of it.”

    Caleb froze. His expression darkened, his head tilting slightly, searching Ryan’s face for something. “What do you mean?”

    Ryan’s smirk twitched, his shoulders tensing just enough for Caleb to notice. But instead of answering, he gave another small shrug, brushing the moment off. “Forget it.”

    Caleb narrowed his eyes. He didn’t push, but he didn’t forget, either. Instead, he shifted back slightly, his gaze dragging down to Ryan’s mouth. Slowly, he lifted a hand, brushing a fingertip against the blood beading on Ryan’s split lip.

    Ryan went still.

    With deliberate slowness, Caleb pulled his hand back and brought his finger to his mouth, slipping it past his lips. He tasted the copper tang of Ryan’s blood, the intimacy of it curling something deep in his gut. Ryan’s cock twitched, hardening in seconds. And he watched, transfixed.

    Then Caleb did it again.

    This time, he dipped his finger against his own wound, collecting the slick red, and reached out, pressing it against Ryan’s mouth. Ryan’s breath hitched. His lips parted slightly, and without thinking, without hesitation, he sucked Caleb’s finger into his mouth, his tongue flicking over the metallic warmth of Caleb’s blood.

    The world outside the car didn’t exist.

    Only Caleb’s pulse thrummed under Ryan’s touch, Ryan’s mouth closed around Caleb’s skin, and their eyes locked in something raw and feverish. Slowly, Caleb pulled his finger free, his breathing shallow, feeling the reluctance on Ryan’s tongue to let go.

    He tilted his head, a smirk ghosting his expression. “Now we’re bound by blood. Like…real brothers,” he murmured.

    “Nerd…” Ryan chocked.

    “You know… there’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you,” Caleb rasped. “Was your dick hard…while he was fucking me in his room?” Ryan’s eyes widened. He lingered there for a moment before nodding reluctantly. As if it pained him to acknowledge that truth. “Yeah, I figured. Cause I got hard too…when he was fucking you,” Caleb admitted. “Why do you think that is?”

    “I don’t know…” Ryan groaned.

    “I think you do,” Caleb whispered, leaning in closer. “I’ve seen how you look at me,” he provoked. 

    “Shut up, nerd,” Ryan stuttered, his nose rubbing against Caleb’s sweat-soaked tank top.

    “Does my smell make you hard?” Caleb pressed, feeling Ryan’s muscles tightening under him.

    “No…” Ryan resisted. Pathetically so at this point.

    “You’re such a fucking liar,” Caleb teased, grinding his hips against Ryan’s crotch. Which, at this point, was hardly necessary. Ryan’s dick was already throbbing violently under Caleb’s ass. “Ryan?” Caleb whispered.

    “What…?” Ryan exhaled.

    “Put your hands on me,” Caleb finally whispered.

    Ryan’s head shot up, their eyes meeting. Then, Caleb’s lips slowly began to stretch, the slightest smile drawn on his lips. 

    He could feel it.
    Ryan was nervous.
    Just like Nate had been.

    Ryan’s blue eyes shivered briefly before the faintest glimmer overtook them. He fought the need to let his eyelids flutter, for he knew that if they did, Caleb would see. He would see the proof of his vulnerability finally revealed.

    Ryan’s hands came up so slowly they seemed to not move at all. Gently, they slid under Caleb’s shirt, brushing against the soft skin of his lower back. The faintest moan escaped Ryan’s lips, and Caleb felt his forehead sink deep into his chest. Almost reactively, Caleb grabbed the edges of his top and yanked it over his head, tossing it aside. Then he pulled Ryan’s neck in again with one hand and slowly dove his other hand inside Ryan’s raven hair, pulling his neck back and forcing their gazes to meet.

    And at that moment, Caleb finally understood.
    That was his gift. His nature. His power.
    To peel away these men’s anger. Their rage. Their pain.
    Until there was nothing left inside their bodies but his love for them.

    “You’re gonna kiss me or what?” Caleb moaned salaciously. 

    Like a slingshot, Ryan’s mouth lifted. Their mouths collided with a sharp inhale, their tongues immediately finding their way into each other embrace. A cacophony of groans and moans broke inside the car. Hitting the tight space’s walls before ricocheting back, causing their lust to grow more potent. 

    “Finally…” Ryan let out, the words escaping through the tiniest crack of their locked mouths. A raw, unguarded word full of everything that had been tucked away inside his broken soul. 

    A yearning to connect. To finally taste that otherworldly magic that was uniquely Caleb’s.

    Their lips parted. Reluctantly. A string of spit tethering them together.

    “Fuck…” Ryan groaned.

    “I know…right?” Caleb replied, tilting forward as if suddenly, any slight distance felt unbearable. Their foreheads bumped gently, and as they did, Ryan’s tongue began tracing the outer layer of Caleb’s lips, drawing them to memory. Caleb slid his hand inside Ryan’s pants. They felt ridiculously tight as he tried to reach his stepbrother’s 7-inch prick, squeezed inside. “Get them off,” Caleb ordered. “I want you to fuck me,” he added with urgency.

    What happened next was nothing short of extraordinary, although, from the outside, it may have looked like a very professional act of physical comedy by two gifted actors. Hips and legs started firing everywhere as they tried to undo their zippers and free themselves from the constraints of their clothes. Ryan’s hips rose, his hands fumbling to slide down his tight jeans before they finally fell to the floor, coasting around his ankles. His cock catapulted up, slapping against his toned stomach. In the same breath, Caleb lifted both legs, pulling down his shorts before lifting his left leg and pulling the shorts out, undies with it, momentarily fumbling to get his shoe through it.

    But as soon as Caleb’s leg came back down and their bodies regained contact, they both moaned. It was almost impossible to separate the sounds. They merged flawlessly.

    Caleb’s hips were grinding almost immediately, Ryan’s leaking cock rubbing against his sweaty crack. Ryan’s eyes shot down, his mouth agape as he felt Caleb’s shaft rubbing against his stomach. They locked gazes again and lunged forward together, their mouths locking, tongues diving inside each other’s mouths. Caleb’s left hand came down, and he pulled the small lever on Ryan’s seat, causing the back to fall slightly with a sudden jerk.

    “You wanna get fucked? Is that what you want?” Ryan growled.

    Caleb didn’t reply. He just nodded, his tongue too busy feeding off Ryan’s mouth. He pulled back, feeling Ryan’s hips thrusting into him. He smiled down, watching his stepbrother’s blue eyes burn at him before stirring his hand into it. He leaned back and grabbed Ryan’s cock, lathering it with his moist.

    “Holy fuck, dude,” Ryan muttered, his hands holding Caleb’s hips, his fingers digging into his velvety skin. “You’re so fucking sexy,” he added, his voice cracking with rapture.

    But Caleb was barely reacting, his attention focused on aiming Ryan’s bloated tip into his puckering hole. He tried to push it in, but the moist was not slick enough at first. His sphincter felt rubbery, and he puffed with annoyance, finally turning his eyes to Ryan again. Ryan was smiling at him, his hand already coming up to his mouth. His jaw clenched for a moment before he pushed out the thickest ball of spit from his mouth. Caleb lifted his ass, letting Ryan’s hand access the tight space under it. 

    Then, he felt it. 
    Ryan’s finger entering him.

    Spit now drizzled down his crack, the excess covering Ryan’s cock. But his hole was already being entertained, clenching around his stepbrother’s finger as he nudged it aggressively in and out. A jolt of pleasure coursed through Caleb, and all his muscles tightened. He was surprised when his teeth suddenly snapped shut, biting into Ryan’s lower lip.

    “Mother f…” Ryan protested, yanking his neck back. But his indignation was short-lived as he looked into Caleb’s eyes and found nothing but disturbingly playful energy bubbling inside. His left hand reached Caleb’s cheek, his thumb pressing lightly on the tender, swollen spot. Caleb stiffened immediately, struggling not to push further into Ryan’s touch. He felt the warm sensation spreading across his skin, making him shiver with anticipation.

    “Damn, dude,” Ryan groaned. Caleb leaned in, kissing the tip of Ryan’s nose before plunging himself hard against his cock. His hole’s resistance was expected, but Caleb pushed through it with a gasp. He felt himself being stretched around the thick head of Ryan’s dick as it breached him. The pain was there but bearable. More than that, it echoed a pleasure that seemed almost unattainable while sober. 

    “Fuck, dude!” Caleb groaned out, his grip on Ryan’s shoulder tightening. But he didn’t push him away. Instead, he clung desperately to the moment, the pain and the pleasure colliding in a crescendo of sensation.

    Ryan’s hips surged forward, driven by an urge that emanated from every nerve in his body. But Caleb seemed determined to take the reins, so he gripped Ryan’s neck, anchored his feet on the seat, and lifted his ass. He began to fuck Ryan’s cock with a fervor, moving up and down in a rhythm that was both relentless and passionate.

    “Shit…oh fuck…” Caleb moaned, his pitch high, almost feminine.

    For several minutes, Caleb rode Ryan, his stamina propelled by an invisible desire. A raw energy that felt both surprising and unpreventable.

    With beads of sweat dripping down his forehead and his breath huffing in and out, he readjusted his position on the seat. He slid his knees back and leaned against the cold, metal steering wheel, raising his buttocks just enough to present himself to Ryan. The anticipation built as Ryan’s thick, rock-hard erection nudged against the entrance to his core, teasing him with each slow thrust.

    Ryan’s hips gyrated with purposeful aggression as he drove deep into him, filling him up entirely with each aggressive movement. “Fuck, Caleb…I can’t believe…how fucking good your hole feels,” he uttered between sharp breaths. 

    His body language was all angles and thrusts, muscles flexing, and veins throbbing. The sensations were intense. Every nerve ending shouted in pleasure-seeking agony as Ryan’s cock slammed against Caleb’s prostate, sending waves of ecstasy coursing through both of them. Caleb’s sphincter stretched and tightened around Ryan’s shaft, nudging him into a raptured state of complete eros.

    Then, after a few minutes, before Ryan’s cock became too accustomed to leading, Caleb switched back. And just like that, he was riding Ryan again. It was a dance at this point. A push and pull of being led and leading. A joint stamina only two young men could produce.

    “Ryan?” Caleb called, his ass bouncing on Ryan’s cock as his own slapped against his stomach.

    “Mhmm…?” Ryan growled, trying to hold himself in place as Caleb masterfully rode him all the way to ecstasy.

    “What did he whisper in your ear that night?” Caleb moaned, teasing the answer out of Ryan. 

    “I…fuck…that feels good…” Ryan groaned, half present, half lost in whatever Caleb’s insides were doing to his cock. 

    “Tell me…I wanna know,” Caleb continued, swinging his hips back and forth, milking Ryan’s truth out. Sensing his stepbrother’s reluctance, he leaned forward, coasting his lips on Ryan’s ear. “If you tell me… I’ll let you come inside me,” he teased, his movements steady.

    Ryan’s eyes came up, locking with Caleb’s as he slowly increased the rhythm of his hips, sliding Ryan’s shaft in and out of him until he felt it twitching inside him. But on the verge of release, Ryan stopped. He dug his fingers into Caleb, almost signaling his partner to stop. And with hefty breaths, he finally revealed.

    “He…he told me…” Ryan stammered. His voice came layered with a fragility Caleb didn’t recognize. As if he was ripping the words out of his chest. One by one. “He told me he’d kiss me if I knocked him down,” Ryan cried out, his head falling on Caleb’s chest, almost embarrassed.

    Everything stopped. Caleb’s sphincter clutched around Ryan’s dick, holding its release at bay. Then, he looked down. He took his hands and lifted Ryan’s head, searching for his eyes. They were layered with tears.

    “He never kissed you?” Caleb asked. Ryan shook his head, his lips trembling slightly, two small pools of tears hanging on by a thread inside his eyes. “Have you…ever kissed anyone?” Caleb questioned, his emerald gaze narrowing. Ryan shook his head again, slower this time. “Was…was I your first?” he finally whispered. 

    Ryan blinked. With it came the gentlest nod. And all the tears stored inside his glistening blue eyes.

    Caleb’s hand came up, and his fingers brushed Ryan’s face. It wasn’t planned, just something he felt he had to do. A sense of gratitude washed over Caleb. An overwhelming honor that in the most dire moment of their lives, Ryan would grace him by granting Caleb the chance to peek into his true self. 

    A young man, desperate to be loved.
    To be accepted.
    To be fundamentally understood.

    And Caleb did. 
    He did.

    One single contraction of his sphincter was all it took. Seconds later, Ryan’s eyes rolled back, a white layer taking hold of them as he began to shoot his load inside Caleb’s hole. “Fuuuuuck!” he hollered.

    Caleb closed his eyes, grabbed his dick, and stroked it three times before Ryan felt a thick, warm string of cum hit his chin. Then, his chest. And finally, his stomach, slowly trickling inside his bellybutton. Ryan’s hips twitched and shivered, his hands gripping Caleb’s lean stomach the best he could as he filled the tall beauty’s guts. Over and over again.

    Caleb collapsed over Ryan, his body covering him completely. 

    “Fuck, Caleb…that was…” Ryan panted, his breath resonating like a cat’s purr.

    Caleb slowly lifted his ass, allowing Ryan’s still-hard cock to slide out of him before he let his cheeks land gently over the stud’s lap again. “Inevitable…” he whispered into their cocoon, his intoxicating breath filling the tiny space.

    “I…I don’t…” Ryan stuttered. 

    But Caleb’s soothing voice came swooping in, cutting him. “Shut up,” he whispered. “I think…I wanna put it back in. While your cum is still warm,” Caleb added.

    His hand came around his back, and he grabbed Ryan’s hard dick, still soaking in his cum and Caleb’s moist, and slid it right back in. Then, his hips began moving.

    Ryan just sat there, eyes closed, face buried in Caleb’s chest, hoping whatever he felt would not end. Ever.

    Ryan didn’t say anything. Not one thing. For once in his life, he felt speechless.

    *

    Caleb stirred first, blinking against the light, his body sore from the cramped sleeping position. He shifted, wincing slightly, and that’s when he felt Ryan’s presence beside him, closer than he remembered.

    For a second, Caleb just sat there, staring at Ryan’s chest’s rise and fall and the soft parting of his lips as he breathed. Then Ryan stirred, groaning as he stretched. His eyes flickered open, dazed and unfocused at first. Then they locked onto Caleb.

    Something between them stilled.

    For a brief moment, neither spoke. The night before hung between them like a heavy, unspoken thing, thickening the air and making it hard to breathe.

    Ryan was the first to break the silence. “Morning, nerd.” His voice was husky, rough with sleep, but his usual smirk was softer, hesitant, like he wasn’t sure where they stood now.

    Caleb didn’t answer right away. He just turned away, stretching out his sore limbs. “We should get moving,” he muttered, reaching for his bag. “We need to get to this guy.” Caleb snapped, zipping his bag with more force than necessary. “We’re wasting time.”

    Ryan studied him, his sharp blue gaze scanning for cracks in Caleb’s abruptly placed armor. “You good?” he asked, trying to sound casual.

    Caleb scoffed. “I’m fine.”

    Ryan didn’t buy it. He shifted, leaning closer. “Listen, about last night…”

    “There’s nothing to talk about. We fucked. Felt good. Let’s just…go,” Caleb cut him off, his tone flat, final. He didn’t even look at Ryan as he shoved open the car door and stepped out.

    Ryan sat there, stunned for a second. The coldness in Caleb’s voice wasn’t like him. Last night, Caleb had been open, unguarded. And so had Ryan. And for what? Now Caleb was shutting down, throwing up walls Ryan didn’t know how to climb.

    Ryan swallowed the sharp sting in his chest and forced a smirk, even though it felt wrong. Their beautiful moment now felt like a distant dream. 

    And maybe it was. 

    For a fleeting moment, Ryan had allowed himself to dream. To feel part of something. But that something wasn’t his. It never had been, Ryan thought. It was Caleb and Nate’s. And he was just there.

    Maybe people like Ryan were meant to wander alone. 

    “Right. Of course,” he said before starting the car, gripping the wheel a little too tightly as Caleb slid into the passenger seat, staring out the window, avoiding his gaze.

    “No sooner would such a temptation present itself than I would smother it. The effect was of snuffing out a candle, two candles, a row of twenty, until the lens pulled back to reveal an entire votive stand exhaling a hundred thin lines of smoke as a terraced offering before the shrine. In this religion hidden lights had been declared superior to those that glared. Somewhere I was storing up merit, accumulating the credit I’d need to buy, one day, the salvation I longed for. Until then (and it was a reckoning that could be forestalled indefinitely, that I preferred putting off) I’d live in that happiest of all conditions: the long but seemingly prosperous courtship. It was a series of tests, ever more arduous, even perverse. For instance, I was required to deny my love in order to prove it.” in A Boy’s Own Story by Edmund White

  • Broken Wrist Blues

    Chris dangled the controller in front of Olly’s face, taunting him. With his rigid claws Olly gave a half-hearted attempt at holding it, but it slipped out of his fingers and tumbled to the floor next to Chris’s shorts and underwear.

    “Guess we’ll have to figure out another way for you to play,” said Chris.

    He leaned down and gave Olly a quick kiss as he picked up the controller and dropped it on the bed, and then he stood and walked around to Olly’s bedside table.

    Chris opened the drawer and pulled out his reliable bottle of lube. They had both been making good use of it the past two weeks and most of the rest of Chris’s toys were left ignored in a bag at the back of Olly’s sock drawer. He squirted some lube on the fingers of his right hand, turned halfway around so Olly could see his smooth backside, and slipped his fingers between his cheeks. He smiled over his naked shoulder as he started fingering himself.

    Olly’s cock throbbed, still contained in his sweatpants.

    With enough lube in place, Chris took one more squirt and stepped over to where Olly sat, kneeling. He beckoned him up with a finger.

    As Olly stood, Chris went to his knees, and a moment later Olly’s sweatpants were on the floor and his hard cock stood out.

    Chris licked his lips and then he licked Olly’s cock.

    Shivers ran up Olly’s spine as he savoured the silky warm texture of Chris’s tongue, but a moment later Chris pulled off and wrapped his lube-slicked fingers around Olly’s cockhead.

    Then Chris wiped his hands on a cum towel and crawled up on the bed. He picked up the game controller and unpaused the game, continuing where he left off like nothing had happened.

    Olly almost didn’t understand until Chris lay himself down, naked legs spread, propped up on his elbows so he could keep playing while Olly… played.

    “Fuck, I love you,” Olly said without thinking.

    Chris smirked and paused the game again, turning slightly to face his lover. He beckoned Olly over with another finger.

    Olly blushed and crawled up on the bed on his knees and leaned over to Chris as he continued to call him closer with his finger. Chris wrapped one hand behind Olly’s head and pulled him in for a deep and sensual kiss.

    Their tongues played, and then their lips parted with a wet smack.

    “I love you too,” said Chris quietly, “Now play with my ass while I fuck up this boss.”

    Olly grinned and shuffled over to get between Chris’s legs. He positioned himself carefully and got down on his elbows, letting their naked bodies fit together.

    Without needing to be asked, Chris reached back to position Olly’s cock, aiming the head for his lubed hole. As Olly slipped the tip inside and felt Chris’s warm sphincter stretch, Chris unpaused the game and continued playing.

    Olly slid his dick deeper and chuckled as Chris managed to keep focused on the game, only moaning out slightly as Olly slid across his prostate.

    “Is this hard mode?” Olly asked into Chris’s ear.

    Chris grunted as Olly bottomed out deep inside him and said, “It could be harder.”

    Olly rested his chin on Chris’s shoulder and squeezed his warm torso with his biceps. Olly nudged Chris’s legs a little further apart and drew his cock back a few inches, slipping past his prostate again and relishing all the little sounds that Chris couldn’t hold back.

    He took his time, there was no need to rush. Olly thrust gently, keeping himself as deep as possible, and as the pressure danced too close to climax he paused to watch Chris’s game, their bodies moulded together.

    Where Olly rested his chest and stomach against Chris’s back, their skin started to perspire and stick together and Olly enjoyed the feeling of gently peeling them apart, letting the colder air tingle their damp skin.

    They stayed locked together, gently fucking, watching and playing the game for half an hour or longer. Olly savoured the feeling of his cock locked in Chris’s ass and sometimes sat still until he started to grow soft, and then pressed his hips and fucked until he was rock hard again.

    Olly licked Chris’s ear and whispered, “I love cumming inside you so much,”

    Chris moaned and gently rocked his hips, fucking himself between the mattress and and Olly’s dick.

    Olly picked up his speed, pressing his cock as deep as possible before slipping half way out. Their naked bodies beat against each other, gentle slaps filling the air, as Chris moaned and dropped the controller to one side, his head tilting down in ecstasy, and then Olly thrust forward and felt his shaft twitch inside Chris as he started to cum deep inside him.

    They lay together, connected, for a minute or more until Chris edged Olly out of him, rolling him over on his side so they could face each other. Chris leaned in and kissed Olly, holding him tightly, their legs entwined, sweat cooling on their skin.
