    Jet-lagged from my flight, I knew I should have been thinking about going to bed early, but I decided to go out for a beer instead. I’m a professional horse jockey with a reputation for working with difficult horses. I’ve always said that my job is part horse jockey and part horse whisperer, as I focus on the behavioral side as well as strength and endurance. Typically, I would take a 6- to 12-month contract, perform my magic on a horse, and then move on to the next gig. While I should have been preparing for my first day working with a new horse, I was feeling horny and restless, so I googled local gay bars and discovered there was a country western bar a couple blocks from my hotel called The Velvet Saddle. The name seemed more than appropriate given my profession.

    Freshly showered, I put on a pair of snug, faded jeans that highlighted my basket and a black tank top that showed off my arms and left the hotel to find the bar. It was almost 9:00, so I was hoping the joint would be hopping and I’d have the opportunity to unwind and score if I was lucky. Although I was in my late 30s, which is relatively old for a jockey, I was still in great shape and looked younger than my age. Not surprisingly, given my profession, I measured in at a towering 4 feet, 11 inches, and weighed about 105 pounds soaking wet, but I was lean and sinewy. While I was often the shortest guy in the room, I still managed to get my share of ass. Guys seemed to be attracted to my shorter stature, possibly picturing me playing the son in a daddy/son romp, when in reality, I was much more of a daddy. I loved to take charge and dominate in bed, and while I may have lacked a few inches in height, I more than made up for it below the belt. In fact, I was used to gasps when I unzipped for the first time, but I had a knack for convincing unsuspecting studs to spread their legs for me after they got over the initial shock of my dick. I guess I have a way with stallions and studs. On that note, I was hoping to breed a hot stud tonight.

    I arrived in front of The Velvet Saddle, and I could hear country music pounding through the closed front doors. As I stood on the street, the doors opened, and two hunky cowboys stumbled out on their way to hook up, by the looks of it. Perfect, this seemed like the right kind of place. I opened the door and entered the noisy club, moving deeper into the dark, smoky, crowded space. The bar was obviously popular and filled with men standing, sitting at the bar, or moving about the dance floor. I felt lost in the crowd with most of the men towering over me, so I moved towards the bar and hoisted myself up onto a free barstool to see and be seen. A cute bartender immediately caught my eye and asked me what I’d like to drink. I ordered a beer and glanced around the room, sizing up the crowd.

    As I took stock of my prospects, a new song started, and I heard a few cheers as two young studs made their way to each end of the bar and climbed up onto the counter. Noticing the brass pole attached to the bar in front of me, I realized I had managed to sit directly in front of one of the go-go dancer spots as a hot, young cowboy towered above me and started to move to the music. He looked to be about 19 and built like a farm boy with short, sandy-colored hair, muscular arms, a hairy chest, and thick thighs, not to mention an impressive bulge in a pair of black, silky briefs that had the ass cut out of them. Other than the revealing shorts, he was wearing a cowboy hat, a leather vest, and boots as he performed for the enthusiastic crowd. I caught his eye under his hat brim as he looked down at me, grinning under his thick mustache. Damn, this boy was fine but probably out of my league, assuming he’d even consider hooking up with a customer.

    “Hey there, little buddy, I haven’t seen you here before,” he called down to me over the music. Great, he had already clocked my height, but at least he was talking to me while he shook his magnificent ass at the room. 

    “Hey there yourself. Yep, I just arrived in town. Thanks for the sexy welcome,” as I tipped my beer in acknowledgement. 

    “Happy to oblige, handsome. I hope you enjoy the front-row seat.”

    I ordered another beer and did just that, settling back on my stool as the sexy cowboy gyrated and moved sensuously to the music. I could feel blood rushing to my neglected cock while I watched this stud move. I wasn’t normally the type of person to sit in the front row to watch a dancer, but I couldn’t bring myself to change seats while this handsome giant moved above me. Some of the other customers around me were slipping cash into his snug black briefs as he lowered himself so they could reach. Invariably, they’d cop a feel, but the dancer was pretty good at limiting how much skin they groped. I watched as my cowboy squatted in front of me with one furry, muscular leg on either side of me as he gyrated his bulging crotch near my face. He seemed to be inviting me to follow the other’s lead, and while it wasn’t my style, I figured, what the hell, and reached into my wallet to pull out a bill. Spotting the bill, my cowboy lowered himself onto his knees directly in front of me, making it easy for me to reach my hand between his legs and tuck the bill behind his waistband while his muscular, hairy thighs brushed against my arm. I could feel the hot skin of his tight abs against my fingers as he moved to the music and pressed his impressive bulge into my hand, seemingly encouraging me to explore.

    Taking a deep breath and hoping I wasn’t misreading his body language, I wrapped my hand around his packed bulge and squeezed his meaty cock through the thin satiny material. He nodded and smiled down at me as a couple of guys watching nearby cheered. What was I doing? This was out of character for me, but I had a handful of hot, Grade-A cowboy meat in my grip, and I wasn’t about to let go while this hunk of a cowboy encouraged me. This was much more than the fleeting touch the dancer had permitted his other customers. Something about this hot stud was removing all of my inhibitions, as I groped his well-packed pouch in the middle of the crowded bar. I could feel his plump cock hardening in my grip.

    “Oh yeah, little buddy, play with my big cock. You know you want it.”

    I did indeed. Just when I thought his satin briefs would burst, the song wrapped up, signaling a break for both dancers. Before he left, my cowboy leaned over and said, “Thanks for the fluff, partner. I hope you’ll stick around for my next set in 30 minutes.”

    I couldn’t believe this hot young stud of a man seemed to be into me, but I wasn’t complaining. I mutely nodded as the cowboy stood back up and climbed down off the back of the bar, making his way to a door in the rear with the other dancer, with his exposed cheeks flexing as he walked. I glanced around and noticed several guys looking back at me in jealousy. I also realized my cock was rock hard and bulging obscenely in the crotch of my faded jeans. Leaning forward to hide my arousal, I swallowed the last of my beer as my phone buzzed. It was a message from my new employer asking me if I was in town yet, and if so, would I be able to join him for a drink at the hotel bar to go over my game plan? Damn, I so wanted to see where things might go with my cowboy go-go dancer, but I couldn’t think of a good reason to put off my new employer.

    Sighing, I reluctantly typed a response saying I could meet him in the hotel bar in 15 minutes and that I looked forward to it. Fuck. Not knowing how to contact my cowboy, I paid up my bill and left the bar, hoping my hard-on would subside before I got back to the hotel. So much for scoring tonight, but I would try to get back to the bar at a later date and see if I could pick up where I left off with my new hunky friend. 

    The meeting with Sam, my new employer, went well. He approved of my plan, and we arranged to meet at his ranch in the morning so I could see his racehorse, Moon Shadow, in person. The horse had been high-strung and problematic to train, and they were hoping I’d be able to sort him out while improving his run times. This was exactly the type of scenario I did well at, and I was confident that I’d be able to help the stallion reach his full potential.

    As agreed, we met at 7:00 the next morning at the ranch, and Sam walked me over to the horse stable. Sam was a good-looking guy in his fifties with salt-and-pepper hair and a mustache. He looked and sounded like the quintessential cowboy with a bit of a twang in his speech. As we chatted in front of the barn, he turned to a Mexican cowboy named Miguel and asked him to have Luke bring out the horse. I heard Miguel mutter, “He’s not going to like it, Señor…” before Sam shushed him and told him to move it. While we waited, I asked him, what was that about? When it came to training horses, I was all about gathering as much information and history as possible to make my job easier.

    “Oh, that’s nothin’. The horse’s groom, Luke, is a might bit protective, and he wasn’t crazy about us bringing in outside help. He’s not a jockey, but he’s been spendin’ a lot of time with Moon Shadow and trying to bring him around. The stallion has definitely improved since he started working with him, but we still need an expert like yourself to make him a true winner.”

    Okay, note to self, Luke doesn’t approve of Sam hiring me. My goal would be to bring him on to my side along with Moon Shadow, but if that wasn’t possible, he would just need to get out of the way. I had met many versions of Luke in my career, and I knew how to handle the type.

    I heard a horse’s whinny and hoofbeats as a dark stallion emerged from the shadows of the barn’s entrance, led by a young cowboy. The horse was beautiful and powerfully built, and I knew instantly that he was a champion in the making. The young groom leading him was also drop-dead gorgeous despite the scowl on his face as he reluctantly led the horse towards us. He definitely wasn’t happy about my arrival. After discreetly checking out his muscular frame and his well-packed jeans, I raised my eyes to meet his under the shadow of his cowboy hat and realized in that instant that this was the beefcake dancer from last night! What the hell was he doing here? Beefcake recognized me in the same instance as he looked back at me with a shocked expression on his face.

    Sam said, “This is Moon Shadow’s groom, Luke. Luke, this is the jockey we were talkin’ about, Mack.”

    “Uh, nice to meet you, Luke,” I mumbled as I tried to recover and reached my hand out to shake his. As he awkwardly took my hand in his firm grip, I flashed back to groping and teasing his hard cock the night before while he sensuously ground his hips to the music in the bar. I could see he was struggling with his annoyance at my arrival as a jockey with our shared erotic moment together from last night. From the deepening scowl on his face, my guess was his annoyance was winning. He might also be pissed at me for leaving the bar when I had said I’d hang around. Shit, this was awkward.

    Attempting to put our brief, if passionate, past aside, I let go of his hand and approached the stallion, trying to focus on my job. He was a stunning animal, but I could detect a shade of anxiety from the horse. I was determined to gain his trust and bring him to his full potential. Without sounding arrogant, it is what I do well, and I planned to do the same with Moon Shadow, even with the added distraction of one pissed-off, hot cowboy. Trying to throw an olive branch, I commented, “He looks well cared for.”

    I heard a muttered “Hmph” in response as Luke shook his head. Obviously any bond we had established last night while I teased his thick cock in my hand was gone, and I needed to get down to business. 

    “I’d like to take him for a ride. Could you please put a racing saddle on him?”

    Luke glared back at me unmoving, until Sam spoke up, “Luke, please make sure Mack has whatever he needs. He’s here to train Moon Shadow, and we want to make sure he has everything he needs to make Shadow a winner.”

    “Fine,” Luke spat out before abruptly walking the stallion back into the barn to saddle him up. Sam’s farm had a full-sized track on it, and I looked forward to taking Shadow for a light ride to begin to better understand the horse’s behavior. Truth be told, I’d like to take Luke for a hard ride as well, but I’d have to put that thought on the back burner for now.

    “Don’t worry, Mack, Luke will come around. Just give him a bit of time; he’s got a good heart, and he loves Moon Shadow.”

    “No worries, Sam. I can tell he takes good care of the stallion, and I’m sure we’ll work well together. I’m hoping I’ll earn his trust as well.” 

    “That’s mighty fair of you, Mack.”

    So began my time working with Moon Shadow and his hunky groom with the ass that wouldn’t quit. I tried not to think of what Luke looked like under his grooming gear while I worked, but fuck, it was hard, pun intended. For his part, he remained distant and pissed. I assumed he had some initial attraction to me, as shown on that first night, but if so, he kept it bottled up and buried since I arrived on the ranch. 

    The only acknowledgment of our first meeting was a curt remark from Luke when I brought Moon Shadow back to the stable after my first ride: “By the way, I would appreciate it if you didn’t mention to Sam that I have another job. I really need both jobs, and I’m not sure how he might react.”

    “Of course, I won’t say anything,” I responded as I pictured Luke half naked at the bar sensuously moving his toned body to the music. Hopeful that I might have another shot at dating him, I added, “You know, I really was looking forward to hanging around for your next set, but Sam messaged me and wanted to meet. I felt bad about leaving without saying anything. Maybe we could…”

    Luke held up his hand, abruptly cutting me off. “How about you do the job Sam is paying you to do, Mr. Horse Whisperer, and leave me alone to do my job?” as he grabbed Moon Shadow’s reins and abruptly walked to the back of the barn, leaving me on my own. Fuck, so much for that.

    While Luke technically followed Sam’s orders and provided me with what I needed, he went out of his way to do the bare minimum in a surly and resentful manner. Part of me wanted to throw the big stud over my lap, pull down his snug jeans, and bitch-slap his gorgeous ass until he begged me to stop. But I didn’t. I’d find myself popping boners around him as he worked in the stables, showcasing his impressive muscles. I even thought I caught him checking out the bulge in my riding breeches once or twice and wondered if there might still be some lingering interest on Luke’s part, but no matter what I said or did, he would not reengage. That horse had apparently left the barn.

    Over the next few weeks, despite my best efforts, Luke remained a surly son of a bitch to me and to many of the other workers on the ranch, including Miguel, the ranch hand. While his devotion to Moon Shadow was undeniable, he resented the air I breathed and was barely civil with me and generally rude to others. It was obvious he was hoping I would fail in my goal to train the stallion, but I was happy with my progress so far, as was Sam. I found it hard to reconcile the surly, rude pup with the gregarious, sexy cowboy I had met at the Velvet Saddle bar initially. 

    Things came to a head when we were preparing for a last-minute training ride with a potential investor of Sam’s observing. Moon Shadow was less skittish these days, but his times were not quite where they needed to be. Luke and I were hurrying to get everything ready when I realized I had forgotten my riding crop. It’s an important part of my gear despite only using it to tap and guide the horse, so I was angry at myself. Frustrated, I looked over to see Luke approaching Moon Shadow with a pail of water, and I snapped at him, “Why are you giving Shadow a drink just before a race? I don’t want him to be waterlogged!”

    Luke looked guilty as he jumped back in surprise and responded, “I wouldn’t normally, but it’s a hot day, and I can tell he’s dehydrated. I won’t give him a lot, but he needs something.” Too annoyed to argue further, I let it go and told him that I’d be right back as I headed back to the barn to grab my crop. 

    Halfway there, I spotted Luke’s gear bag resting on a bench near the fence. Knowing that he usually kept a spare crop in his bag, I decided to borrow his to save time. I spotted it tucked in an outside pocket and pulled it loose. Unfortunately, the end snagged on the pocket and toppled the bag over, spilling a few items onto the ground. For fuck’s sake. As I put the riding crop in my back pocket and righted the bag, hurrying to put everything back, I picked up a clear water bottle that had one to two inches of a cloudy grey-blue liquid left in it, along with two pill bottles. I noticed the pills in one of the bottles were blue and glanced at the label. Viagra? Luke used Viagra? He didn’t seem like the type. Looking closer at the other bottle, I saw it was Xylazine, a common horse tranquilizer similar to ketamine. I never used it myself, but I was aware of its powerful effect on horses. Taking another look at the water bottle, I noticed a few floaters in the cloudy mixture that might be pill bits. I flashed back to Luke’s insistence that Moon Shadow have a last-minute drink with a dawning realization. No, he wouldn’t! Would he? Was he so determined to see me fail that he would stoop so low as to drug a racehorse before a big run?!?

    Opening the water bottle, I sniffed the liquid and saw part of a blue pill floating near the top. That fucking bastard! He had doped Moon Shadow. I struggled to reconcile Luke’s apparent love of the stallion with this reckless and dangerous act. I couldn’t recall ever being so angry while I considered my next move.

    Despite all of my progress with Moon Shadow, I knew I couldn’t risk racing him today. I also decided that I had had enough of Luke’s shitty attitude, and I needed to teach him a lesson. First things first, I grabbed my phone and called Sam and asked if we could postpone the ride, making up a story that I had noticed one of Shadow’s shoes was loose and I wanted to have it fixed. Sam completely understood and, after checking with the investor, said we could move the ride to the end of the week. In the meantime, he was going to take the investor and the crew over to the next county to check out a horse auction. Perfect. With the ride postponed and the ranch cleared out, I put the next phase of my plan in place and walked back to Luke and Moon Shadow. Luke looked unhappy when I told him that today’s test race had been postponed to Friday. He was probably disappointed because he was looking forward to seeing me fall on my face on a compromised horse. Bastard. 

    I tried to keep the anger off my face and suggested he take Moon Shadow back to his stall. The horse seemed fine so far, but I would keep an eye on him. Before Luke walked away, I put on my friendliest expression and told him that I appreciated all of his help and that I was going to grab a couple of cold beers if he wanted to meet me back here in a few minutes for a cool one. It was a stifling hot day, and while Luke looked a bit sheepish about being thanked for his help, he said he’d love a beer. Perfect.

    While Luke wandered off with Moon Shadow, I briefly admired his firm butt before walking back to my quarters to pick up a BDSM toy from my locker before heading over to the small lunchroom Sam kept stocked with a beer fridge in one of the outbuildings, grabbing the doctored water bottle on the way. I poured out some of the beer from one bottle, leaving room at the top to pour in a healthy amount of the cloudy liquid. I gave it a shake, hoping Luke wouldn’t notice the difference. Unsure of how much of each drug I was actually giving him, I briefly considered abandoning my plans, but then I said, Fuck it. If Luke was willing to take a chance with Moon Shadow, I could do the same with him. Karma is a bitch, buddy.

    I walked back to the stable to find Luke leaning against the barn beside the open door in the shade and handed him the cold bottle of beer. He took a sip and said, “Ah, that’s what I needed. Thanks.” He smiled at me as I sipped my undoctored beer. Damn, this was probably the first time Luke had shown me any warmth since the night we met, and I once again had misgivings about what I was about to do. While I mentally debated, he took another big gulp of his beer until the bottle was nearly half empty. Oh well, I guess I’m committed at this point. 

    Deciding to add to the mix, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a fat joint, asking Luke if he smoked. He seemed happy to share a joint along with the beer and didn’t seem to notice that I only took very small tokes and avoided inhaling as he consumed most of the potent doobie. As we drank and smoked, I let Luke know that Sam and the crew had gone to the horse show, so it would be a quiet afternoon. “Great, I could use some quiet time to catch up on a few chores, including laying down some fresh hay in the stalls.” 

    As we stood in the hot sun and quietly finished up our beers and the joint, Luke was still reluctant to chat, but it did feel like he was less hostile than usual after my small gesture of a beer and weed. If he only knew how angry I was with him right now. With the beers gone, I grabbed his empty bottle while he walked back into the barn to finish his chores as I admired the toned muscles of his back and, of course, his ass. I left with the bottles, planning to be back shortly to check in on Moon Shadow as well as Luke. I had a full afternoon planned for the hunky fucker if the drugs did what I hoped they would, and it seemed somehow fitting to use Luke’s own cocktail on him in an act of revenge.

    A short while later, I returned to the barn and checked in on Moon Shadow. He still seemed fine and happy to be out of the sun. Maybe the drug dose was too low for the big stallion to have any noticeable effect. I hoped so for Luke’s sake. I could hear the sound of him working at the far end of the warm barn. Quietly walking down the aisle, I spotted him inside a stall with his shirt off, given the heat, and a fine layer of sweat gleaming on his bare torso as he slowly pitched hay onto the floor. I could watch this stud all day as I admired his muscles highlighted by a thin beam of sunlight shining through a crack in the siding. As I watched, Luke paused and shook his head, running his hand through his short hair. It looked like he was starting to feel the effects of the drugs and weed.

    “Hey, Luke. Can you use some help?”

    Luke looked up at me in confusion until he realized it was me. He seemed disoriented and lethargic as he mumbled, “Uh, sure. Thanks.” Stripping off my own shirt, I grabbed a second pitchfork and joined him in the stall, throwing hay into the far end. As we worked in the heat, I caught him checking out my half-hard cock in my snug riding breeches as he went through the motions of pitching hay into the stall, but I could tell he was struggling to focus. Luke seemed to spend less time working and more time staring into space or ogling my naked torso. I glanced at the crotch of his jeans, and I was shocked to see the hard ridge of his cock pressing upwards as he paused to catch his breath. The drugs definitely seemed to be working. He was stoned and horny as fuck.

    I innocently asked, “Are you okay, buddy?” 

    “Huh, what? Uh, I guess… it must be the beer and weed; I feel really out of it,” as he swayed in the stall.

    I walked over to Luke and wrapped my arm around his naked shoulder for support and said, “Easy, Luke, you don’t look so good. Maybe you need to take a break and rest.” As I stood there with my hand on his shoulder, he almost lost his balance again. His eyes were hooded as he stood panting with his cock straining in his jeans. Pulling him in closer with my arm and taking charge, I said, “Here, let’s get you off your feet,” as I gently placed his pitchfork against the wall and guided Luke out of the stall towards the back of the barn.

    I kept my arm around Luke as he compliantly followed my lead, unsteady in his steps. “Oh man, what’s the matter with me…” Approaching a saddle stand, I had an idea and suggested he lie on top of it for a minute to rest. Luke seemed unsure of what I meant but allowed me to help him climb up onto the stand and lie face down on the blanket-covered surface. He was sprawled on the curved top with the side of his face pressed into the blanket and his beefy arms hanging down on each side. His legs were spread, straddling the end of the stand, with his hard cock caught between the stand and his magnificent ass in the air. Luke looked hot as fuck even if he was limp as a rag doll. 

    “How’s that, Luke? You should rest for a minute. Maybe you’ve just overheated.”

    Luke sighed and mumbled, “Thanks, man… This actually feels great; I’m so fucking relaxed. That’s some damn fine weed you have…” before his eyes closed and his voice trailed off. The horse tranquilizer and weed combination seemed to be working, and I had the little weasel right where I wanted him.

    I moved to Luke’s head and said, “Hey Luke, I’m kind of worried you might fall off, so I’m going to secure you, okay?” I heard Luke mumble a thanks as he stretched and ground his crotch into the stand while I reached for a coil of rope. I had spent enough time around cattle and horses that I was handy with knots as I proceeded to tie Luke to the top of the saddle stand. I carefully tied his extended muscular arms to the legs of the stand, making sure he was secure but comfortable as he muttered something about what a good friend I was for taking care of him. If he only knew. Moving to the rear, I reached down and pulled off his cowboy boots and tied each ankle to the rear posts of the stand so he was straddling the end of the bench with his legs spread and his glorious ass perched on the edge. For his part, Luke kept thanking me, unbothered by the rope, as he mumbled into the blanketed stand while occasionally grinding his swollen cock into the stand. I didn’t know if he was half-dreaming or just horny and unable to control himself.

    I paused once more to consider what I was doing as I was about to cross a line and wondered if I should call the whole thing off. Did I really want to take advantage of Luke in his drugged state? At that moment, I heard Moon Shadow whinny from his stall, and I thought of that beautiful stallion trying to run after being drugged by Luke, someone he trusted. Instantly, my doubts were swept away, and I was determined to teach him a lesson. With all four limbs firmly tied to the bench, I reached for an old pair of shears hanging on a nearby post to proceed with my plan.

    “Luke, I think your jeans are too tight and causing you to overheat. I’m going to cut them loose, okay?” 

    Even in his doped state, Luke questioned this and asked, “Wait, what? You’re going to cut off my jeans? What if someone sees me?”

    “Don’t worry, buddy, you’ll still have your shorts on, and besides, everyone is at the horse auction, remember? It’s cool.”

    Luke mumbled his response into the blanket, “Oh yeah, I forgot. That makes sense… Thanks, Mack. You’re actually a great guy.”

    With Luke buying into my flawed logic, I proceeded to carefully cut up each leg of his jeans. I could feel my rock-hard cock struggling to be free as more of Luke’s golden, muscular flesh was deliciously exposed until the only thing covering him was his worn boxer briefs. I reached under him to pull his destroyed jeans free. Damn, this boy was hot. It was a shame he was such an asshole. 

    Knowing that I needed to have all of this hot stud’s flesh exposed and available to torment, I walked back to Luke’s head and gently rubbed his shoulders, asking him if he felt better. He sighed that he felt amazing as I sensuously massaged his muscular shoulders and traps as he relaxed and softly moaned. Sensing his calm, I leaned down beside him and said, “Hey buddy, I think your shorts may need to go too. They seem too small and may be cutting off your circulation as well. I hate to ask, but I think we’d better lose them too, at least until you’re feeling better.“

    Luke slurred, “Really? I don’t know; maybe I should keep them on. Um, just between you and me, I kind of have a hard-on. Sorry, man. I don’t know why I’m so horny.”

    “Hey Luke, it’s okay. That’s perfectly normal. It’s probably just the weed; it makes me horny too. Trust me, you’re going to feel better resting without any tight clothing restricting you; otherwise, I wouldn’t ask. Besides, you’re lying on your dick, so no one’s going to see anything. Once you’re feeling better, we’ll get you back into clothes.”

    “Uh, okay… Sure, I guess. Thanks Mack…”

    The drug cocktail was making Luke docile as fuck, which was perfect. Before he changed his mind, I reached for the shears and cut through the thin fabric of his boxer briefs while gripping his ass cheek in my palm. Luke arched his back slightly in response. Whoa, my little colt seemed sensitive to my touch whether he was ready to admit it or not. I discovered he wasn’t kidding when he said he was erect when I reached under him to pull his tattered boxer briefs free and discovered his rock-hard cock. I stepped back to admire Luke completely naked and bound in the middle of the barn with his big balls dangling down between his legs. With the horse auction today, we had the place to ourselves, and I planned to take full advantage of my time with this young unruly colt. I reached up under his heavy balls and maneuvered his thick cock downwards, leaving it pressed flat against the blanket-covered edge of the bench. Luke responded to my grip on his cock as he moaned and humped his ass in the air, exposing his pink, puckered hole. I softly stroked the thick, mushroom-shaped head of his cock while softly blowing at his tight ring and admiring his ass.

    I could hear Luke groaning in response, “Mack, what are you doing?”

    I reluctantly released Luke’s thick cock and walked around to the front of the bench so I could talk to him. “I might as well level with you, Luke, now that you’re naked and tied up. You’ve been a bit of a douchebag to me and the other guys since the day I arrived at the ranch. I’ve been willing to cut you some slack, thinking you were still young and good for Moon Shadow, but I was wrong. I can ignore a lot of things, but mistreating a beautiful animal like Shadow just to get back at me is not one of them. Someone needs to teach you a lesson, and I guess it’s going to have to be me.”

    Luke pulled at his bindings, seemingly realizing for the first time how vulnerable he was, as he looked up at me in confusion, glancing at my shirtless chest and the thick bulge in my riding breeches. “Huh, what are you talking about? Mistreating Shadow? What kind of lesson?”

    “Don’t play dumb, Luke; I know about the Viagra and Xylazine cocktail you put in Moon Shadow’s watering pail. Even for you, this is a new low.”

    Luke’s eyes widened in shock once he realized I knew about the drugs. “Oh wow, how did you find out about that…?”

    “I accidentally knocked your bag over when I went to borrow your riding crop, and the drugs fell out. Do you know how dangerous racing a drugged horse can be? Anything could have happened to Shadow.” 

    Luke looked miserable as he tried to wrap his head around being busted and struggled to defend himself in his muddled state. “I know, I’m sorry. I don’t know what I was thinking. I was jealous and angry, but I can explain…”

    Fed up with Luke’s attitude and excuses, I cut him off and lifted his chin so I was looking directly into his baby blues, “Just answer me this Luke. Did you dope Shadow’s drinking pail?”

    “Well yeah, I did, but…”

    That’s all I needed to hear. Before Luke could continue, I reached into my back pocket and grabbed a ball gag I had picked up from my room, slipping the ball into his surprised open mouth before tightening the strap behind his head. No longer able to interrupt, I said, “I think I’ve heard enough Luke, and it’s time you learned a lesson about respecting others, including the animals you’re supposed to be looking after. Your ass is mine for the rest of the afternoon. Hopefully you’ll think twice before trying a stunt like this again.”

    Luke opened his eyes wide as he tried to speak around the gag and pulled unsuccessfully at his restraints. As I admired his straining muscles, I couldn’t stand it any longer and reached down to unzip my breeches and haul out my engorged cock while I looked Luke in the eye. I smiled at the shocked expression on his face as he stared at my meaty dick in disbelief as it swayed inches from his face.

    “Are you ready to take a ride on a real man’s cock?”

    As Luke frantically shook his head and moaned into the gag, I guessed at what he was trying to say. “What, you’ve never bottomed before? You don’t think you can take something that big?” As he nodded in agreement, I added, “Here’s the thing, Luke. I think you can. In fact, I think you’re going to love getting railed by my big dick. But… If you don’t, I don’t really care, as it’s going to happen regardless. You’ve been asking for this all summer with your shitty attitude, but what you pulled today just seals the deal. Whether you enjoy it or not, I’m going to enjoy stretching your tight hole and breeding your sorry ass,” as I rubbed the engorged head of my cock up and down and across Luke’s face, leaving thick trails of pre-cum across his cheeks. I noticed his eyes watering up as he breathed heavily through his nose. Reaching forward, I placed my hands on his shoulders and said, “Luke, the sooner you realize you don’t have a choice in this anymore, the easier it will be for you. Trust me, I’ve broken a few unruly colts in my time, and I know what I’m doing, but you will be broken.”

    Without another word, I jumped down off the stand and grabbed a bottle of flaxseed oil and cloth from a nearby shelf that we sometimes used to oil-buff the horses and walked behind Luke’s spread legs out of his sight line. I had decided to borrow a chapter from my horse whisperer training. I often rubbed oil onto a horse’s coat as a means to calm them and establish a connection, so it seemed appropriate to do the same with Luke in his agitated and aroused state before the real work began. Also, it enhanced and conditioned their coat, as I’m sure it would do for Luke’s muscle definition. Stepping up on the rail of the stand, I leaned forward and drizzled oil across his back, down his arms, across his ass, and onto his legs.

    While Luke tried to look back to see what I was doing, I spread the rich oil across his back and shoulders with the buffer cloth, admiring how it highlighted his muscles and made his skin glow. Working downwards, I rubbed the oil across the white globes of his ass, making sure I also worked it into his crack and oiled up his balls and shaft, and down his muscular thighs and calves. I finished up by spreading oil across his impressive arms and bulging biceps. Luke blazed like a golden Adonis in the light of the barn as I admired the view and stepped behind him.

    With Luke buffed and oiled, I realized the bench was at a perfect height for me to step forward and shove my tongue between his sweet cheeks without needing to stand on a lower rail. I roughly gripped his firm glutes in each hand, spreading them wide, and pressed my face into his crack, sliding my tongue up and down and across his tight knot. Luke jumped in surprise as I used my tongue to poke, prod, and stretch his hole, pressing deeper into his tight oiled ring. While he seemed to be trying to protest by the sounds he was making through the gag, I noticed he was also pressing his ass back into my tongue as I slobbered between his firm cheeks, stretching them wider with my hands and thoroughly slathering up his hole with spit, getting him ready for my cock. While Luke’s ass may have been a virgin before today, it didn’t take long before he was riding the top of the bench, driving his Viagra-fueled cock downwards against the blanketed edge of the bench as his muffled moans filled the barn. While he may have wanted to resist, his drug-fueled body was definitely responding to my ass eating.

    As my tongue torpedoed and stretched Luke’s hole, I reached down to grip his thick, oiled cock, sliding my hand up and down its slippery length as I devoured Luke’s ass while he strained his powerful body against the soft ropes, unsure whether to pull away or push back. I could feel his pulse pounding in the rigid shaft of his cock as his pre-cum mixed with the flaxseed oil as I pulled it backwards several times, letting it slap hard against the stand with a thud. This boy had a hungry hole despite being a top to date. 

    Taking a break from eating Luke’s delicious ass, I stepped up on the rail and laid my palm against one of his oiled cheeks before pulling it back and slapping his ass hard as he jerked on the bench. His trapped cock kept him from moving away from my hand with each slap. While Luke’s ass cheek reddened, I could hear him breathing heavily through the ball gag as he fought to catch his breath from this latest humiliation, although I noticed a long strand of pre-cum dripping from the end of his rigid cock. “Do you like being spanked like a naughty boy, Luke? Let’s see how the other cheek feels,” as I switched hands and he whimpered. Slap, slap, slap. I wasn’t holding back as I punished his ass, enjoying the feel of my hand against his bubble cheeks and fascinated by the image of Luke jerking and whimpering as he struggled to avoid his punishment while his cock dripped pre-cum onto the barn floor. With each slap, his pink puckered ring clenched in reflex as his cock, caught against the edge of the stand, throbbed.

    Thinking Luke was warmed up, I stepped down off the stand and slid off my breeches and shorts, placing the riding crop handy on a side rail. I was left in only my boots as I climbed back up on the rail at the rear of the bench. My shaft head was dripping with pre-cum as I rested my throbbing cockhead between his reddened cheeks in his oil- and spit-coated crack. I was at the perfect height to angle my cock between his firm globes. Feeling my shaft poised at his tight ring, Luke struggled to free himself and whimpered through the gag.

    “You can fight it all you want, boy, but it’s happening,” as I maneuvered my cockhead up and down his greasy crack while stretching his cheeks wider with my hands. Luke tried to speak through his gag as I leaned forward and dripped more spit onto my cockhead to mix with my pre-cum and the oil, creating a slick lube for my rod to poke against Luke’s hole. With each pass, I’d pause to force the slick head into his tight pucker until gradually, the tip was sliding halfway in each time, lubricating his ring. I could hear Luke moaning as he twisted, torn between trying to escape and trying to get more of my cock inside his slippery hole despite his initial reluctance. Tired of teasing him, I pressed forward until suddenly, the thick head of my cock slipped past his tight ring. 

    I paused to add some additional spit to the end of my cock gripped by Luke’s tight hole as I eased backwards slightly before thrusting my shaft back in. Despite his attempts at resistance, my cock felt like it was being pulled in by his greedy hole. I could see his back expanding as he breathed deeply through his nose, trying to force himself to relax. While he might be anxious about taking my tool, I could sense he might be getting off on being bound and used in the quiet barn, although that may have been fueled in part by the drugs.

    I could feel the heat from his reddened cheeks as I firmly gripped his ass in my hands and slowly gyrated my hips, working the slippery end of my cock deeper into Luke’s hypersensitive ass. I could feel pre-cum pumping from the end of my cock as the greased head slid deeper. Luke seemed frustrated by his inability to do anything other than rub the top of his cock against the blanket-covered end of the bench and press his ass back against my cock. Despite his recent introduction to bottoming, his ass was begging for more. 

    Happy to fill a need, I gripped his ass in my hands and slid my cock deeper until the ridged head of my cock was banging up against his prostate as he started to groan loudly with each firm thrust. While I hadn’t bottomed out yet, Luke was taking most of my cock, and I couldn’t believe I was finally riding my cowboy after fantasizing about this moment since I first saw Luke dancing in the bar. Fuck, he was tight.

    With only an inch or two left, I served Luke a full helping of sausage and slammed my aching shaft all the way into his stretched hole with a growl. He let me know I had indeed bottomed out as my cum-filled balls slapped against his heavy sack and he moaned loudly. I thrust a couple more times just to make sure he had every inch and knew who was in charge as I rode his gorgeous ass and crushed Luke into the top of the saddle stand.

    Suddenly, I heard, “¡Ay dios mío!” followed by a crash. I looked up to see Miguel standing at the end of the barn with a saddle at his feet. He had apparently walked into the barn and dropped what he was carrying in shock at the sight of Sam’s new jockey railing his least favorite ranch hand. He and Luke had a long history of not getting along, and I had personally witnessed Luke being his usual shithead self to Miguel a number of times.

    “Uh, hola Miguel. Sorry, I thought everyone was away,” as I stood there with my cock buried in Luke’s ass while Luke looked back at Miguel in humiliation.

    “Señor, I was late today, so I missed the horse auction.” Miguel’s eyes were wide as he looked over Luke’s muscular frame tied to the saddle stand and fully grasped that I was fucking him. “Bravo Señor; it’s good to see this one getting what he deserves and with his mouth shut for a change.”

    I smiled at Miguel. “I’m glad you approve. Luke pushed me just a little too far today, so I’m taking the opportunity to break him in, isn’t that right, Luke?” As I shoved my cock deep into his ass, he moaned in acknowledgement. “He’s been asking for this for a long time, believe me.” With Miguel obviously approving my actions, I decided to continue to slowly fuck Luke while we chatted to add to his humiliation.

    Miguel nodded exuberantly, “Muy bueno Señor. This colt needs some guidance and correction. I’m happy to see you taking control.” As we talked, I noticed him stepping closer so he could watch my cock sliding into Luke’s ass as he reached down to adjust a sizable bulge in his jeans. While he may not like Luke, Miguel was happy to ogle his naked, oiled form stretched out on the bench. “I’ve wanted to teach this chico a lesson for a long time myself.”

    “Well, you’re welcome to sample the goods; I’m sure Luke wouldn’t mind. Right, Luke?” He tried to object through his gag, but all we heard was a frustrated moan. “Feel free to remove his gag, Miguel, and sample that end if you’d like. It looks like you have enough to fill his mouth.”

    I watched an evil grin fill Miguel’s face as he walked around to the other end of the stand and dragged an old wooden box over to stand on. The box put his crotch at the perfect height as he unzipped his jeans. Hung as I am, I was impressed with the size of his thick, uncut cock as he hauled it out. For his part, Luke shook his head in protest as Miguel stepped forward with his cock swaying in his face. 

    “You think you’re such a big hombre but wait until you taste my burrito… bitch,” as he pressed his thick, sweaty cock into Luke’s face while he tried unsuccessfully to avoid it. As Miguel’s meat swung against his face, I watched as he undid his gag before slipping the ball from his mouth. As Luke inhaled deeply and prepared to speak, Miguel immediately stuffed his big cock into his mouth, cutting off any further conversation. “Easy chico, no teeth, or I will make you a gelding. ¿Comprendido?

    I watched Miguel slip more of his big tool into Luke’s mouth as I drove my cock deeper into his ass. The boy was getting his first spit roast with two extra grande cocks breaking him in.

    “Ah, that feels good. Suck it, chico. Take your papi’s big pito.”

    I could hear Luke struggling not to gag as Miguel roughly fucked his mouth. While his attention was elsewhere, I eased backwards until a third of my shaft was exposed before sliding forward hard. Luke groaned around Miguel’s cock. Pulling halfway out this time, I slammed my slippery tool back past his tight ring. As he moaned out loud, I pulled back once again until just the tip of my cock remained gripped by his tight hole before thrusting forward until I was once again balls-deep. Not only was Luke taking my full cock, but he was also getting fucked hard as I thrust into him over and over as he lay strapped to the saddle bench. I could hear a couple of horses at the other end of the barn whinnying, but otherwise the stable was quiet except for our groans and the sound of my cock stretching Luke’s virgin hole and Miguel fucking his mouth.

    Noticing the riding crop lying on the side rail of the stand, I reached for it as we settled into a spirited canter with my cock drilling Luke’s ass and Miguel stuffing his face. I flicked the leather tip of the riding crop on his muscular rump and drove my cock harder into his hole with a “Hup!” I felt the saddle stand shift as he jerked in surprise at the sharp slap but groaned loudly as he pushed back into me. With each hard flip of the crop, I could feel Luke’s hole clench around my cock as he jumped in pain and fought to breathe as Miguel’s cock filled his throat. 

    “Oh, that’s it. Giddy-up! Ride my cock, you bastard! How does it feel to be ridden hard while doped up? Hopefully you’ll think twice next time before doing something so fucking stupid in the future.” I could hear Luke trying to speak around Miguel’s thick cock as the horses shuffled in their stalls, likely wondering what the hell was going on as we hit a fever pitch, rocking the saddle stand as I destroyed his ass with my thick cock, slamming my sweaty balls against his.

    I could see Miguel’s eyelids half closing as he gripped Luke’s head tightly in his hands and sensed he was close to cumming. While I gripped his ass in one hand and slapped his other cheek with the crop, I slammed my cock into him while watching Miguel on the other end. I was riding my cowboy harder than I had ever ridden a stallion. All three of us were covered in sweat from the heat and exertion as we strained our muscles and fucked like animals, racing towards our orgasms. 

    Unable to hold back anymore, I yelled as I slammed into Luke, pumping my load deep into his ass. I could feel his tight ring clenching around my thick shaft as I realized he was cumming as well. Despite the racket we were making, I could hear his thick load splattering on the dirt barn floor below us as I pumped his ass full of thick cream and he thrashed on the saddle stand while Miguel bellowed in Spanish and pumped his load down his throat. I couldn’t believe Luke had shot his wad without anyone touching his cock while taking a load in his mouth and ass.

    As both Miguel and I slowed our thrusts into Luke, making sure we had completely emptied our loads, we heard, “Well, it looks like you boys have worked out your differences.” All three of us jumped at the unexpected voice as we looked up to see Sam standing at the end of the aisle. None of us had noticed him come into the barn. 

    “Sorry if I startled you. I needed to come back to pick up a horse trailer,” he explained.

    “Uh, hey Sam. Shit, sorry about this. Uh, we were just, um…” I didn’t even know where to begin as I gave up trying to explain why I had Sam’s groomer strapped naked to a saddle bench with my cock up his ass and Miguel’s meaty cock shoved down his throat. I pulled my cock free and stepped off the stand so I could turn towards Sam, conscious of my wet, engorged cock dripping cum onto the floor, and unsure what I should do. For his part, Miguel stood transfixed with his cock lodged in Luke’s mouth.

    “No explanation necessary,” Sam replied with a raised eyebrow as he looked me over before strolling towards Luke’s spread legs to take a closer look. “It looks like y’all had a hard ride, and from this angle it looks like Luke might be up for more,” as he reached forward and grabbed his rigid tool in his hand, pulling it backwards away from the bench before letting it snap back hard against the stand. He groaned in response as his pink asshole clenched. “Oh yeah, I’d definitely say Luke is up for more; that boy’s as hard as nails. All the same, I’m wondering if you really had to rope him up to put your brand on him, Mack; he looks plenty willing enough to me.” I looked over and noticed a bulge extending down the leg of Sam’s jeans as he reached down to readjust himself.

    Surprised by Sam’s comments and casual groping of his employee, I said, “Uh, yeah, you may be right, Sam. He did put up a fight at first but seems to have accepted his fate.”

    Whistling out loud as he tugged on Luke’s balls and rubbed his reddened ass and slapped one cheek, Sam added, “I’ll say. Damn, that boy sure has a fine ass on him. I’ve always admired it. I need to get back to our investor waiting in the truck, but do you mind if I have a quick taste?” 

    Not completely sure what Sam was asking, I nevertheless responded, “By all means, Boss, have at ‘er.”

    Sam smiled and stepped between Luke’s spread legs before leaning forward and planting his face between his cheeks. I realized he was going to eat his ass and quickly offered, “Uh, careful boss, I just shot a big load up there.”

    Sam paused and turned to me with a wry grin, “Trust me, boy, that doesn’t bother me in the least,” as he pressed his mouth against Luke’s reddened hole and proceeded to work his tongue in and out of his tight ring, loudly slurping. I couldn’t believe my boss was sucking my load out of my cowboy’s well-worked ass while I stood there naked with a hard-on watching. He seemed to be no stranger to ass eating and a big fan of secondhand cum, apparently, as Luke groaned and writhed on the stand while Sam thoroughly cleaned out his hole with his talented tongue.

    Unwilling to just watch anymore, I walked around to the front of the stand and asked Miguel if I could take over. As he pulled his spent cock free of Luke’s mouth, I stepped up onto the wooden box and lowered the tip of my cock to Luke’s sexy, mustached lips and eased forward, sliding the thick end of my cock into his mouth as he slurped at my swollen shaft, cleaning up any stray pre-cum. I was surprised at how much of my dick he was able to take down his throat as he milked my cock with his hot mouth in the quiet barn.

    Unlike Luke, I didn’t have the advantage of Viagra, but my cock was up for more action despite my previous orgasm. While Sam watched me between Luke’s spread legs, I began to fuck his face while my boss slurped and sucked my load out of Luke’s tight ass. I noticed Miguel was trying to stuff his engorged cock back into his jeans, uncomfortable with having his boss present.

    Sam came up for air and said, “Damn, you taste fine, Mack. I wouldn’t mind milking your load directly from the source one of these days,” as he admired the sight of my thick cock sliding into Luke’s mouth.”

    “Uh, sure thing, boss.”

    “If I didn’t have our potential investor waiting outside, I’d join you boys, but that will have to wait for another day. I’m just glad to see y’all have been able to work things out. We’ll be gone for a few more hours, so I’ll let you boys get back to it. I’m sure you can find something to do to fill the time.”

    Sam reached up and slapped Luke’s red cheek again before saying, “You just stay put, Luke, ya hear,” laughing to himself. “I have to say it’s kind of refreshing to not hear you mouthing off for a change. I’ll have to remember this trick the next time you start acting up.” With one more ass slap, Sam walked over to me to check out Luke slurping at my cock and said, “Damn boy, you really are a horse whisperer,” before reaching out and wrapping his hand around my low-hanging balls and giving them a tug, “And hung like a horse as well it seems,” before walking away shaking his head. It seems like Sam wasn’t shy about getting handsy with the help.

    With the barn to ourselves again, and my cock still filling Luke’s mouth, I said to him, “Well, that was weird. I think that’s the first time I’ve had my boss grab my balls.”

    With Sam out of the picture, Miguel was showing more interest in the proceedings as my cock slid in and out of Luke’s mouth. He was watching us while he rubbed the firm lump in his jeans. “Señor Mack, would you mind if I call my nephew, Diego? I know he would love to join us. He’s a maricón and Señor Luke is always teasing him.”

    That sounded like classic Luke behavior. Picking on the gay stableboy despite his own inclinations. “Hell yes, Miguel. Another pair of hands would be great; go for it. I’m sure Luke wouldn’t mind having his buddy, Diego, over for a playdate. Right Luke?”

    I looked down at Luke, who was trying unsuccessfully to talk around a mouthful of dick to protest as Miguel pulled out his phone to call his nephew. Diego was about 19 years old, and while fit and plenty capable around the ranch, he definitely had a campy manner and was often teased by the other ranch hands because of it with Luke leading the pack. I was looking forward to seeing how Diego would react to seeing his nemesis strapped naked to the saddle stand, hard and helpless. I couldn’t make sense of Miguel’s enthusiastic Spanish to Diego on the phone, but I heard Luke’s name a few times before he hung up and said that Diego would be here in a few minutes. He was definitely interested and eager to help teach Luke a lesson. Perfect.

    While I kept Luke occupied sliding my cock in and out of his mouth, Miguel said he had an idea while we were waiting for Diego and stepped out of the barn heading towards the dairy barn next door. “You know, Luke, there seems to be no shortage of men on the ranch willing to help torment you. Do you think there might be a reason for that?” Happy that he was unable to respond, I let him think over my words while I continued to slowly fuck his throat.

    Miguel returned hauling some sort of machine with tubes attached. “What the hell is that?” I asked.

    “It’s a portable milker, Señor. I want to attach it to Mister Luke’s pene.” 

    “Oh my god, that is a fucking amazing idea, Miguel. Let me know if you need any help,” as I watched him place the machine behind Luke and run the cord to a nearby outlet. While Luke nervously looked up at me, I watched as Miguel unraveled one of the tubes and squirted some sort of lubricant in the open end of the milking cup. It looked like he was struggling to slide the sleeve onto his engorged cock, given his thick tool was definitely larger than your average teat, but the cups seemed flexible enough, and he was eventually able to force it on. Luke’s eyes were wide open in trepidation as he felt the device being attached. 

    “Ready, Señor Mack?” 

    “I know I am, and I’ll speak for Luke since he’s got my dick in his mouth. Let her rip Miguel.”

    I heard the hum of the milking machine as it started up. Luke moaned around my cock as the milker sleeve slid up his slick cock, firmly gripping his shaft before sliding back down and repeating the motion. While I couldn’t see Luke’s cock from this angle, I could see the clear tube moving up and down between his legs and hear the suction of the sleeve as it pulled and teased Luke’s throbbing cock as the motor droned on. It looked like Miguel had a remote in his hand as he adjusted the machine speed while Luke moaned loudly.

    “Too fast; I want to keep Señor Luke rígido but unsatisfied. Señor Luke enjoys teasing Diego, so I think it’s fair we tease him.”

    At that moment, Diego arrived, clearly out of breath from running. He was wearing bright green silk shorts and a slinky white tank top. “Oh my…” he said as he stood beside his uncle watching Luke’s cock get milked and taking in his bound naked form while he sucked my cock. “Wow, uh, hola, Señor Mack.”

    I greeted Diego over the hum of the milking machine slurping and sliding up Luke’s lubed cock. Judging by his reaction, Miguel had hit on the perfect speed to keep him hard and frustrated without providing any relief. My respect for Miguel had increased today with this stroke of genius.

    “Hey Diego. Glad you could make it. Help yourself to this asshole’s asshole if you’re game. It sounds like Luke has it coming from you and half the ranch.”

    Diego’s face lit up in a devilish grin. “You have no idea. I would so love to stick it to this little bitch. You wouldn’t believe the shit she puts me through, when she’s just as much of a maricón as I am.” Walking around to the other end of the stand, he bent down beside Luke and spoke quietly to him while I fucked his mouth. “Hey there little man, are you ready to get fucked by a big cock? I haven’t cum in over a week, and I can’t wait to fill your boy pussy with hot Mexican cum. There’s only one catch though… you’re going to have to beg for it.”

    Luke’s eyes widen in disbelief. I could tell by his expression that he had no intention of begging Diego for anything, but I had my doubts. This uncle and nephew team had proven themselves fairly resourceful to date.

    Standing up and reaching into his pocket, Diego held up a bottle. “Uncle, can you shove this under the chica’s nose when I say so?”

    “Sure, Diego, just tell me when.” I recognized the bottle of poppers that Diego handed to his uncle as he walked back behind Luke and stripped naked. He was dark and lean and had a think cock swinging between his legs. While he may get picked on at times for his flamboyancy, Diego was all stud under the covers. 

    While the milking machine tirelessly suckled on Luke’s engorged cock, Diego squirted some of the milking machine lube onto his thick uncut tool and rested it between his plump cheeks. He was leaning into Luke and sliding his thick cock along his crack while he reached down and played with his heavy balls. I could feel the vibration of his moans along my shaft as he tried not to respond to the stimulation in his overwrought state. The poor boy’s jaw must be aching by now without a break.

    Diego was dragging the head of his cock across Luke’s taint while teasing his thumb around his puckered ring. He nodded at his uncle, who uncapped the bottle and shoved it under Luke’s nose, closing one nostril. “Take a deep breath, chico.” With my cock in his mouth and one nostril closed, Luke didn’t have much of a choice as he inhaled deeply. “Again.” In total, he must have taken 10 snorts as the strong chemical smell wafted throughout the barn. While he was doing this, Diego was pressing his thumb firmly into Luke’s hole, massaging and stretching his tight ring. The combination of the milker, poppers, and ass stimulation was driving him crazy as he arched his ass upwards trying to get more of Diego’s thumb in his hole or trying to shake him off; I couldn’t tell which. 

    Diego’s thumb was now rubbing his taint while he had two of his fingers sliding in and out of Luke’s ass. Nodding at his uncle once more, Diego’s fingers discovered Luke’s prostate at the same time as the popper rush kicked in, causing Luke to thrash and pull at his bonds on top of the stand. Diego signaled his uncle to turn up the milker as the tempo of the machine increased. 

    Withdrawing his fingers, Diego pressed his lubed cock head directly against Luke’s puckered hole while he pulled at his heavy, greased balls. “Again, Uncle.” This time I lost count of how many sniffs Luke took as Diego gripped his ass firmly and poked at his hole, pressing the tip of his cock into him but never fully breaching his tight ring. The hum of the milker mixed with Luke’s muffled cries and the creak of the saddle stand in the overheated barn. I could tell he was tripping on the rush of the poppers, drugs, and weed and was ready for Diego to fuck him raw but unable to do anything about it.

    “What do you think Señor Luke? Are you ready to become my bitch?”

    I could hear Luke whimpering as he nodded his head and tried to answer but was unable to with my cock down his throat. Finally, taking pity on the poor bastard, I pulled my cock free as he gasped and yelled, “Yes! Fuck me, please… fuck me. I need your cock in me; fuck me hard!”

    Miguel was quick to shove the popper bottle up against Luke’s nose again for a few more hits as I stood back and stroked my cock in awe of what was unfolding in front of me. 

    “All you had to do was ask… bitch,” as Diego buried his cock to the hilt in one smooth thrust. Luke was riding another popper rush as he screamed in response. Without a pause, Diego pulled his cock out to slam it into Luke once again, and again, riding him harder than I had ever witnessed. 

    Luke was yelling, “Fuck, fuck, fuck… Oh yeah, fuck me! Fuck…”” 

    I was impressed with Diego’s wiry athleticism as he pummeled Luke mercilessly, taking revenge for all the taunting and abuse he had faced at the ranch, slamming his thick cock into Luke as he fucked him like a piston while his sinewy muscles strained. Both men were covered in a sheen of sweat as Diego’s hips slammed into his ass, making his powerful glutes shudder with the impact. Miguel had joined me up on the wooden box as we both jerked off watching his nephew destroy Luke’s ass. 

    Just as I sensed Luke might be close to cumming, Diego signaled for his uncle to turn off the milker and pulled his shaft out of Luke’s hole, leaving just the head gripped by his puckered ring. “Okay, I think that’s enough.”

    I glanced down to see Luke’s eye widen in shock and disappointment seconds away from an earth-shattering orgasm as he yelled, “No…!”

    “What’s the matter, bitch? Does your pussy need some more pounding? I never realized you were such a whore for cock before.”

    Poor Luke was practically in tears as he whimpered, trying unsuccessfully to push back into Diego’s cock. For his part, Diego was keeping his cockhead gripped by his ass but wouldn’t give him an inch more. “Please, Diego, don’t stop. Please fuck me, I’m so close…”

    “Not such a big man now, are you? It’s hard to believe you’re the same piece of shit that’s been picking on me all summer long and mistreating my Uncle and Señor Mack.”

    “I know, I know. I’m sorry. I won’t do it again, I promise. I’ve learned my lesson, I swear, but please… fuck me!”

    “So no more being a douchebag, picking on others, and making everyone’s life hell?”

    “Yes, I promise!”

    I could tell Diego was gently teasing his cockhead in and out of Luke’s hole with barely perceivable thrusts as they talked. It was just enough to remind him what he was missing and keep his ass teased and greased.

    “Will you be my bitch and available for a fuck or to suck my cock whenever I ask?”

    “Yes!” I could see Diego was pushing in slightly more and pulling back, stretching Luke’s tight ring with the head of his big cock. Luke was panting in frustration, dying to feel Diego’s tool deep inside his hole again.

    “Will you do the same for my amigos?”

    “Yes, but just fuck me. Please!”

    “Oh, okay. I guess we can pick up where we left off then. Uncle, can you give Luke another round of poppers and then turn the milker back on? Take your time.”

    While Luke sighed in relief, Miguel slowly unscrewed the popper bottle and held it up to his nose. “Okay, I’m going to want you to take 5 sniffs per nostril and hold your breath. Do you think you can do that?”

    “Yes, yes. Just fucking hurry!”

    “Easy, boy, we’ve got lots of time.”

    Luke groaned in frustration and tried to focus on one thing; Diego’s big cock slamming into his hole. When Miguel finally held up the popper bottle, Luke sniffed deeply, following his instructions to the letter. I could see Diego was still rocking and teasing his cockhead at Luke’s entrance, waiting for him to finish. Once done, Miguel told him to hold his breath as he reached for the milker remote and turned it back on, causing Luke to jump as his cock was once again sucked and teased by the machine.

    Miguel smiled at Luke and said, “Okay, you can breathe.”

    With an explosion of breath, Diego took the opportunity to slide back into Luke’s ass, driving his cock deep and slamming his balls against Luke’s. Luke was in heaven with Diego’s cock once again buried in his hole. “Fuck yeah… that’s it. Don’t stop, fuck me!” I couldn’t believe how thoroughly Miguel and his nephew had humiliated, punished, and owned Luke. It felt like he might actually change his behavior after this experience. Regardless, Luke was taking Diego’s big cock like a champ as he got railed by his former victim. While Miguel and I both stroked our cocks and watched, Diego gripped his ass cheeks and punished his hole. 

    Based on the moans coming from Diego and Luke, they were close as Diego slammed into him and, with one final scream, began to unload into his well-worn hole. Luke had also reached the point of no return as he pressed his bubble butt back into Diego’s cock, trying to get more of this wiry stud’s thick tool up his ass. His eyes were closed as he moaned and rocked while the milker worked his cock, and he climaxed for the second time today. I heard the tone of the milker change and looked up to see Luke’s thick, white load moving along the clear tubes of the milker heading for the glass holding canister. I was impressed with the size of his load making its way through the tubes.

    Both Miguel and I moaned, overwhelmed by the hot scene in front of us, and with a nod to each other, began to spray our loads onto Luke’s disheveled face. Despite cumming earlier, I was still able to shoot 6 or 7 shots of thick cum across his face, but I lost count of how many blasts of cum Miguel sprayed onto him, with some even making it to his back. Cum was dripping everywhere from his face as he tried to catch his breath and see through the double facial. I leaned forward and rested my twitching cock on Luke’s lip as he latched onto my cockhead and sucked hungrily on my tool, while Miguel pressed his cock forward eager for his turn. With my cock sucked clean, he opened his mouth to let it slip free and eagerly slurped in Miguel’s cock while his nephew humped Luke’s ass, emptying the last of his load. He couldn’t get enough of our two cocks as we took turns fucking his mouth, enjoying the stimulation after our recent loads. 

    Luke was no longer showing any hesitancy to any of this. I realized there really was no further need of the ropes binding him to the stand, and we had definitely taught him a lesson. Hopefully, he’d make some changes in his attitude going forward and never do something as stupid as doping Shadow again. Also, I had the feeling Luke might be up for more action regardless of whether we forced it on him or not.

    “Hold on, Luke, I’m going to untie you so you can clean up your face,” as I reached for the ropes binding Luke’s powerful arms.

    “Wait, Mack! Um… hold on.”

    I paused while reaching for the knots to look up at him. “Yeah, what is it Luke? Are you okay?”

    “No, I’m good. I just, uh… wanted to ask you something first.”

    “Sure, man, go for it.”

    “Okay, first of all, I know I’ve been an asshole this summer, but I was hurt and angry that Sam would bring in outside help for Moon Shadow, and when you showed up after meeting you the night before, I couldn’t believe my shitty luck. The hot guy I had been flirting with, who ran out on me without saying goodbye, shows up at Sam’s. I was more angry at myself than anything, but I decided to take it out on you, along with the rest of the ranch, and I realize now that was unfair.”

    Noting that Luke had called me a hot guy, I replied, “Hey, that’s okay, Luke. I wish I had handled things differently. I really wanted to get to know the friendly, handsome cowboy at the bar, and I wish I had stayed. Let’s just say we both could have handled things differently. Can I untie you now?”

    “No, wait, that’s just it; that’s what I wanted to ask you. Truth be told, I’ve wanted you since the moment I first saw you. Despite the effort I’ve put into being a dick since you arrived, I’ve never stopped checking you out and wishing we could get together. When I first realized I was tied to the bench, I thought I was having a horny bondage dream where you were going to do hot things to my body and make me beg to cum. To be honest, I’ve had quite a few hot dreams about you, including one recent wet dream. When I realized I actually was tied up hard and naked with you playing with my cock and blowing on my ass, I thought I might actually shoot my load on the spot.” Taking a deep breath, Luke finished. “What I’m trying to say is… can you keep me tied up and punish me some more? I want it so bad, Mack, and my cock is still hard as a rock.”

    I looked at Luke’s cum-covered face in shock. Was this hot, muscled, stud who probably weighed twice as much as I did, asking us to keep him bound and tease, torment, and fuck him some more? I felt my cock lurch, and a glob of pre-cum oozed from the head of my still hard cock. “Are you sure, Luke? It might just be the drugs talking. Maybe we should wait until they wear off first?”

    “Oh, the drugs are making me feel things alright; my cock feels like a fucking tire iron, but it’s just dialing up what is already there. I’ve never been so horny in my life despite what you’ve already done to me, and the idea of having you, along with Diego and Miguel, tease and… dominate me while I’m helpless makes me hotter than a bitch in heat. This is more than the drugs, Mack. I want this, and while I’ve never said this to anyone before, I want all three of you to fucking own me. I want it and need it so bad, even if I’m surprised to hear those words coming out of my mouth.

    “Fuck, Luke, I think that can be arranged. Right, boys?” Miguel and Diego grinned back in agreement.

    “Thank you, Mack. I have one confession to make though… I never doped Shadow. I tried to tell you before, but you gagged me and then kept my mouth filled with cock. After that, it didn’t really matter anymore.”

    “What do you mean you didn’t drug Moon Shadow? You told me you had drugged his water pail. That’s why I asked Sam to postpone the race, spiked your beer, and, you know… tied you up. Didn’t you dope Moon Shadow’s water?”

    “No, I mean yes. I mean, I mixed up the drugs in my water bottle and poured most of it into his drinking pail, but I couldn’t give it to him even to make you look bad and poured it out at the last minute. I feel like a shit for even considering it.”

    I looked at Luke in shock, realizing we had little justification for drugging and restraining this man all afternoon.

    “Shit, Luke, I was out of line to put you through what we did. I should have just talked to you.”

    “Fuck no, Mack. I wouldn’t change a thing about the last couple hours, and I’m looking forward to the next few, if you guys are still willing.”

    “I don’t know Miguel and Diego; he still sounds like a bossy bitch to me. Maybe we’d better put the gag back in and teach him a few more lessons, but we should probably clean up his face first.”

    We heard a voice say, “I’ll do it,” and looked up to see Sam back in the barn, with his fly unzipped and his hard cock in his hand as he watched us.

    “Sorry, boys, I couldn’t keep away. I’d be happy to clean up Luke’s face and then gag him for you.”

    “Go for it, boss, he’s all yours.” Sam smiled and walked over to Luke and crouched down on the box to examine his cum-covered face. 

    “Here, boy, let’s get you cleaned up.”

    Meanwhile, Diego had finally slipped his cock from Luke’s abused ass and stepped down while Miguel adjusted the speed of the milker still faithfully sliding up and down Luke’s rigid cock, sucking and slurping at his greased cock. Miguel slapped his beefy ass and said, “Anybody mind if I take a ride on this colt? Other than Sam, I think I’m the only one who hasn’t fucked him yet.”

    “I was thinking of doing another round, but be my guest Miguel; I’ll take the next shift.”

    Miguel moved into position and started to slide his still hard cock into Luke’s slick hole as he groaned, and Diego grabbed the bottle of poppers. Looking up at me, Miguel shyly offered, “If you don’t feel like waiting, Señor Mack, you don’t need to,” as he indicated the space behind him.

    Surprised but turned on by his offer, I responded, “Hell yeah, why not,” as I dragged another wooden box into position behind Miguel and climbed up behind the wiry Mexican, sliding my lubed hard cock up and down his the crack in his muscular ass.

    I heard moaning and looked up to see Sam was energetically cleaning up the cum from Luke’s face with his tongue, pausing to share the cum with Luke in a passionate kiss as their tongues intermingled. Sam seemed determined to lick up every drop as he methodically moved across his face, loudly slurping and swallowing our loads and pausing to share it with Luke. It was kind of hot watching my boss eat my load again, along with Miguel’s. The man loved cum, apparently.

    “Nephew, bring me that little bottle. Señor Mack has a grande pene, and I may need some courage.” With my cock eagerly pressing against Miguel’s puckered rim, he took a deep sniff of poppers, repeating with the other nostril and then doing it again. He handed the bottle back to Diego and let out his breath, turning to me, “Now, Señor. I am ready.”

    As my cock pressed forward, stretching Miguel’s hole, my weight pushed him into Luke. It felt like I was fucking both of them as they both moaned in pleasure. I pulled back and repeated my thrust into Miguel, forcing him to do the same to Luke. What a fucking rush. Diego took the opportunity to crouch down behind me and shove his tongue into my crack while playing with my low-hanging balls. Oh yeah. I was moaning as I slid into Miguel’s tight hole and on the return as Diego slobbered around my hole and stretched my tight ring with his tongue. Fuck, this boy could eat ass.

    After thoroughly stretching my hole with his tongue, I felt Diego jump up onto the box behind me as he gripped my hips and positioned his lubed cock between my cheeks. What the hell? This time as I pulled my dick from Miguel’s ass, I was greeted by a thick cockhead, pressing into my hole.

    “Señor, snort some of this,” as Diego held up the poppers to my nose. I was enjoying fucking Miguel and Luke by extension too much to protest. Fuck it. I grabbed the bottle and sniffed deeply, pulling the strong fumes into my lungs. “Again, Señor Mack.” I did what he asked and deeply inhaled more of the poppers. “Hold your breath… okay, now, let it out.” I hadn’t taken poppers for years and was surprised by the force of the rush that hit me. My cock throbbed deliciously at the sensation of sliding my shaft into Miguel’s tight hole. More importantly, I felt my tight ring relax as Diego pressed into me with his thick cock. Why did this feel so good? I was strictly a top!

    “Oh fuck… what are you doing to me, Diego? Damn.” I was riding the popper rush and getting off on the sensation of Diego sliding his big cock into me, filling my hole and driving my own cock forward into Miguel. All I had to do was stand still while Diego fucked me and his uncle impaled himself on my cock as my nerve endings soared. I noticed Sam had finished cleaning up Luke and was now gagging him with his dick. I guess we weren’t specific on what to use for a gag. All five of us were groaning as we moved in sync in the heat of the barn. The poor saddle stand was creaking and wobbling with the force of our fucking, while the damn milker mercilessly churned away on Luke’s ever-hard cock while he moaned around Sam’s cock as he fucked his mouth.

    I couldn’t believe I was getting fucked by Miguel’s flamboyant nephew, but I was loving it regardless. For now, I just wanted to enjoy the ride sandwiched between a Mexican torta while my sexy cowboy got pounded and milked again. It even crossed my mind that I might let the newly rehabilitated Luke fuck me with his big cock at some point, if it felt this good. Maybe he wasn’t the only colt to be broken today, but either way, I was looking forward to spending more time with my cowboy.

    I felt Diego’s grip increase as he moaned loudly and sprayed a hot load of cum in my ass. I couldn’t take any more stimulation and shot my third load of the day into the older Mexican as my hole clenched tightly around Diego’s spasming cock. I heard Miguel, Luke and Sam moaning as they soon afterwards shot their loads and once again I was fascinated watching Luke’s load move along the clear tubing heading for the milking machine reservoir while Sam pulled his cock out of Luke’s mouth and sprayed cum all over his just cleaned face.

    As we collectively caught our breath and untangled our dicks from each other, I looked up to see Sam licking his own cum off Luke’s face and sharing it with him in a sloppy cum kiss. I was starting to get the idea that Sam was a bit of cum pig. “You know, Boss, we can get you a rag if you’d rather.”

    Grinning, Sam licked his lips, swallowed, and said, “I prefer the personal touch, Mack. Never let it be said that one of my colts was rode hard and put away wet. Now speaking of loads, how about some of that fresh cream you promised me?” as he eyed my plump, but well-used cock. Fuck, I was going to need some of Luke’s Viagra at this rate. It was going to be a long, hot, sweaty afternoon but luckily I loved my job.

  • Pig Hole

    What a phenomenal weekend with my fisting friend Steve. I consider him my fisting mentor. When we met four years ago I’d only been able to take four fingers in my ass. With practice, patience, and perseverance, I’ve become a real fisting whore. All of which has been documented through my many fisting stories on this site.

    I’ve been telling Steve for months that my fantasy is to become as subhuman as possible, and to just be his “hole”.

    Steve was a little hesitant because a responsible top looks for a bottom’s body responses in order to determine how things are going. Too rough, too soft, too deep, etc.. After a long discussion, I convinced Steve that he was the only man on earth I trusted to make my wish come true.

    I’d been fantasizing a lot about wearing just a latex body suit with an open ass slit and holes for my nose so I could either wear a gas mask or sniff poppers. I also wanted to be completely sightless and wear ear buds to pump in Hunger FF’s fisting play list. And…yes, I did want a booty bump, too. Steve is the only person I really trust implicitly to give up complete control in this way.

    So…we checked our schedules and made it happen just last weekend. I took an Uber to Steve’s place late Friday night and took all of my toys and accessories with me.

    Of course I’d douched at home, but I didn’t want change into a latex body suit until I was where I needed to be.

    Steve and I talked some over a beer. Then I stripped completely naked, Steve pulled off his shirt.

    To get us in the mood, Steve and I blew some clouds and made out some.

    He told me to get my suit on and he took several crystals and placed them into a shot glass of water.

    When I was fully dressed, we smoked another round of crystals and finished our beers.

    “Ok, I think it’s time for you to get in the sling”, Steve said.

    I hopped in, Steve helped place the mask over my face and a blindfold. I felt him insert a little lube up my ass with his fingers and then the medicine dropper was inserted deep into my hole. I felt the tingle of the chemicals pass through me. Steve did that twice more to make sure everything from the shot glass was now in my rectum. This was gonna get wild for sure.

    As we waited for the chemicals to work their magic, I heard Steve’s movements. Probably he was laying out some toys, putting out some pads, getting the lube ready. He placed the gas mask on my chest and put the bottle of IronFist in my hand.

    After 15 minutes or so, Steve placed the headphones over my ears and in a few seconds, the playlist started.

    I found myself quickly losing my grasp on reality, and I was feeling like I was floating away.

    Steve inserted a big vial of lube inside me and once he’d taken it out, I was desperate to be filled.

    Steve didn’t bother to rim me, or finger me, or to slowly work his way into my hole. Instead I felt a closed fist, knuckles first, pass right through me and quickly Steve was  wrist deep! My pig hole was ready for it and then some.

    I’m sure I was groaning from how amazing that initial pass felt, but I couldn’t hear myself.

    What I did was reposition myself so my ass was open wider and I was physically riding Steve’s fist.

    I told Steve beforehand I wanted to be destroyed, complete ass annihilation without mercy. I assured him that whatever he would give me, I could handle it. I had provided him complete consent.

    I took a bit hit of poppers and hell if I wasn’t flying! Every sense in my body became alive and Steve wasted no time throwing full on closed fist punches right up my pig cunt. My cunt lips parted like the Red Sea, pliable and hungry.

    It started with only one fist, but eventually evolved to a left, right, left, right, series of very hard blows, ending with his right fist completely blowing out my pussy lips. It felt like nirvana to me. I was finally feeling like the faggot cunt pig hole I always wanted to be, mentally and physically.  I reached down to touch those pussy lips and they were so swollen in only a few minutes.

    Steve’s free hand guided my hand back to my nose for another hit of poppers and he rode the wave with me, this time his right forearm punched all the way to his elbow, stretching me with the fattest part of his forearm. Steve’s forearms are not for the faint hearted, he was always a gym rat, so very muscled and thick. The grooves of his corded forearm were adding to the wondrous sensations permeating my body. Steve started a series of full forearm pussy punches, and as the hypnotic beats played in my ear, I was heading in the direction I needed to go, taking me to a deep the level of depravity I often fantasized about when I masturbated. I was reduced to a human punching bag. I wasn’t signaling for Steve to stop. I was getting completely cunt wrecked, and I didn’t want it to end.

    I gripped the chains on each side of the sling and pushed myself further down on that forearm and well past the elbow. I was so ravenous and

    worked up, Steve just let me keep lowering myself until my cunt swallowed his bicep.

    Fucking bliss!

    I threw my hands back over my head and let myself go completely. Steve pushed the sling back and soon it was rocking swiftly. My cunt hole was so open and so deep, I was taking full on beyond elbow-depth blows, sending me to another plane, one that made me disconnect from myself. I imagined my body as a giant manhole and a gigantic drill was driving through it.

    All of this within twenty minutes! I was just getting started and needed much, much more.

    Sensing I was in no way fighting Steve off or holding him back, Steve knew what I desperately needed. Steve could read my body as we’d hooking up many times.

    He paused for a moment only to place the gas mask in my hand. I tucked the poppers to my side and fumbled to pull the mask on, and then the headphones over that.

    I’d poured a healthy amount of amyl on a cotton ball just before we got started. Once I’d successfully placed the mask over my face and tightened it, the aroma hit me hard.  I was now orbiting over the earth, feeling my pig cunt crave more punishment, more of anything, a quench I just can’t even explain.

    My cunt was saying everything I couldn’t, Steve was right on it. Two closed fists savagely penetrated it punching through causing bursts of light and colors to appear under the blindfold. I felt like I was in heaven and it felt wonderful.

    I had to flip off the mask after some deep, deep hits and Steve didn’t let up. Double full fisted punches opened me up, my pliable tunnel taking them wrist deep, and still I was chasing those fists, wanting them to go deeper, further, harder, more. I was completely out of my mind!

    It really was a pity there wasn’t another top with us because I was primed to go for a triple fisting. That said, I did lay out some of my toys for Steve to use on me. I had a 12 inch toy with a series of nubs that widened at each interval, widest at the base. I was coming down from the gas mask high, Steve pulled one of his fists out and I felt him insert that toy over his still embedded fist. I can’t find words to describe the sheer joy as he slowly wormed and twisted it inch by inch inside my cored out hole.

    Once it fully inserted all the way to its base, Steve’s free hand tapped my wrist, signaling for me to popper up. I put the mask back on and once again I was transformed into another life form. It felt supernatural  when Steve’s fingers pried into my manhole of a cunt, the music pounding in my ears, illuminations of colorful spheres under my fluttering eye lids. I wanted to scream out, “more! Please more!”, and maybe I did, or maybe I didn’t, but soon I felt the pussy walls expanding, four fingers stretching, pulling, prying their way inside, wanting to find a comfortable opening to join the other fist and the toy.

    The mask worked miracles and with a few final heavy inhales, I threw the mask off, held the chains tightly and pushed myself over Steve’s now closed second fist. This was some deep, deep stretching now, both forearms below and above the toy. Steve’s fingers opened enough to get a good firm grip and then it happened.

    Steve dared to go there. True and utter ass destruction ensured. Hard, deep, penetrating punches! I was deliciously delirious. This was an absolute mindfuck! I started pissing inside the latex uncontrollably. My little locked nub lost all bodily control and the velvety warmth soothed me.

    It had been just about an hour now and the heavy beats in my ears stopped.

    Likely after going this hard for an hour straight had fatigued Steve, and I was slowly recovering from his brutality, that I asked for, that I needed.

    Steve slowly pulled one of his fists out of my hole completely, then used that free hand to pull out the toy, and ultimately the second fist. My hole was feeling so empty, and when I reached down to touch it, to feel it, it felt ruined. I loved it!

    Steve removed the headphones from my ears and removed the blindfold.

    He just looked at my face and smiled, a wicked, evil smile.

    “Hey buddy, how you feeling?”

    I was so lost, I could barely move my mouth.

    “Goood”, I whispered.

    “Don’t move. Just stay there while I take a breather.”

    A few seconds later, Steve approached me in the sling and said, “let’s keep this cunt nice and open”, and he slid one of my widest new toys, Mr. Hankey’s Butt Bolt XXL. I’d taken it only once before with lots of warming up and lots of poppers, but this time it took little to no effort at all. Steve spun it in me until it was all in and watched me stretch around it, taking my feet out of the stirrups so I could find a way to push my legs back and enjoy the stuffing.

    I wasn’t paying all that much attention to Steve. He knew I was chemically induced and incapable of coherent conversation. He sipped on a cold beer and sat on a chair across from the sling watching me pleasuring myself. I was fucking myself with this enormous toy. In my right mind, I’d find it impossible, but I wasn’t in my right mind. I was a gooned out chem filled hole.

    Steve eventually forced some water down my throat and I drank it sloppily, spilling some on the latex.

    “Damn boy, you stink. Your piss is killing me!”

    Steve somehow helped me take the latex suit off and did so with that wide as fuck plug up my swine hole.

    Steve took a warm washcloth to my groin and my thighs, cleaning off the drying piss, and he put my latex suit in his tub.

    “Do you want to stop?”, I somehow asked in a moment of clarity.

    “No, I just needed a break, but I’m good for another round if you want more?””

    “Please.”

    “I thought you’d say that.”

    Steve took a swig of beer and pulled the plug out. Then his fingers explored the perimeter.

    “Damn, I really did fuck this hole up! That was unbelievable. I can’t believe you took all those punches!”

    “It was wild! Thank you!”

    I felt like I had this stupid smile on my face.

    “I know what you need.”

    Steve got up, set the empty beer bottle down and lit the pipe.  Steve knelt under my ass, spread my cheeks in his hands and blew clouds right up and into my wrecked gaping asshole.

    Inspired by a fresh round of T, Steve’s mischievous look excited me.

    “You ready for more pig?”, he asked.

    “Fuck yeah!”

    Steve looked like he was contemplating his next move. After about 30 seconds, I watched him take a seat on the floor below the sling. I was feeling no pain but I was still with it enough to realize what Steve was about to do. Steve spread lots of lube all over his left foot.

    When he nodded, I took a deep hit of IronFist and he pressed his toes right at my back door. Steve pushed his butt closer and closer as his toes delved deeper. The width of his foot felt just utterly spectacular, awakening all the nerve endings in my cunt.

    Steve was gently feeding my pig hole. We’d made it well past the toes by now, two-thirds of his foot had been easy going.

    I was still very, very intoxicated, and in this state, limits were not something on my mind. I refreshed my brain with more huffs and demanded, “kick my cunt open man! Beat it up!”

    I reached down as far as I could to position Steve’s foot so I could actually sit over it, and he once again, repositioned himself so I could. Once his foot found its way in, I looked down and saw just his ankle. I’d taken my first entire foot!

    My hands flew behind my head as I rode the wave of absolute ecstasy, Steve rocked the sling to and fro, my cunt lips parted like butter, and within minutes, Steve literally was kicking my ass, and at the same time, kicking me all the way to moon and beyond! It was exquisite.

    I’d closed my eyes and went with it.

    And when I thought I hit a peak, I felt something stretching my pig cunt hole even wider! Steve’s fingers from his right hand! He looked like a contortionist down there, flexing his body to both foot fuck me and fist me at the very same time.  Steve left his foot inserted as he blew out my pussy and once again I was pissing everywhere. Steve somehow took my penis in his mouth and drank straight from the tap my chemically infused urine.

    Two filthy pigs at the height of depravity, not in our right minds in any way shape or form, acting on instinct, experiencing pure joy. This was straight out of my most imaginative of crazy sex fantasies, but here I was and here he was and it was happening. It certainly will be a scene I will remember for the rest of my life, probably to never happen again.

    After I had no more piss in my bladder to feed him, Steve pulled his fist out, then his foot.

    The slowly took to his feet, leaned on the chains of the sling for support, lubed up his right hand all the way to this elbow, and hammered his way inside.

    I took a hit again, Steve paused for ten seconds, and while leaning in to hug me, his right hand delivered severe, devastating, gut rearranging punches, truly obliterating my greedy gape and after I had to beg him to stop, Steve yanked his fist out and the biggest rosebud I ever produced formed.

    Steve was enamored by it, he kissed it and blew on it, touched it.

    Then he balled his fist up and blew it out again, just as hard, just as deep, just as long, then he yanked it out again…even bigger rosebud bloomed. Twice more and felt like I needed a break.

    Steve looked exhausted. I needed to get out of the sling as my legs were starting to cramp.

    With deliberate effort to move onto Steve’s bed, we fumbled our way there and dropped like two sacks of meat. Toys, lube, poppers were all within our reach.

    Steve might have been tired but he was a great host and said he’d love to rest and watch me go at it myself. Both of us were still wound up from the uppers, so he wasn’t sleepy, just needed to recharge physically. Fist topping is a physical sport, and with Steve being nearly 70, he was pushing himself.

    I reached over Steve and my hand connected to my Hydra seahorse dildo. This was pretty thick and long. It actually went in me way too easily.

    “Put your fist inside, too!”, Steve demanded. I dipped my hand in the vat of lube and I pressed some of my own fingers inside of my ass. Steve pushed on the base of the toy to keep it in place while my hand explored my hole. I never in my life punched my own hole out, but on this night, I ruined it. I was howling like a monkey, in a drug induced craze, beating up my own guts. I was once again leaking streams of piss on the rubber sheet.

    Suddenly, Steve pulled my wrist away.

    “Let me back in this pussy!” He demanded.

    Steve pulled out the toy, and got into position. I was flipped over so my ass was up and my head was down on a pillow and Steve clasped his hands together into one giant cannonball, and pushed elbow deep and out, deep, long, clamped handed blows that sent stars to my brain. I was incomprehensible, babbling like a fool, my mouth drooling. It was off the charts. I can’t recall I time I was this uninhibited.

    When Steve concluded this round, my rosebud once again made an appearance and Steve once again shoved his face into it.

    At this point we must have been going five to six hours. Time has a way of escaping when you’re in the heat of this sort of vibe. It was Steve who decided I needed a break.

    We laid side by side, I felt like I was still on another life plane, like some apparition, my head was spinning, my body tingled all over. And my cunt, gaped and absolutely destroyed was still throbbing.

    I needed to soothe it somehow to make the ache stop.

    I took Steve’s hand and had him shove it right back up inside of me.

    “Please”, I begged. “Just leave it in there until I fall asleep”.

    Steve caressed my shoulder and did as I asked.

    I remember nodding off for several hours, and when I awoke, it was nearly noon. The sun was shining brightly and the glare was killing my eyes.

    Steve was not in bed. I heard him in the bathroom. By the sound of it, I concluded he was washing the various toys we had used. I was curious to feel my rectum and without looking at it, it was still gaped, lips very swollen, there was no doubt it had taken quite a beating. I was also still a bit high.

    Steve finally appeared, wearing black shorts, the toys wrapped in a towel.

    “How you doing buddy?”, he asked.

    “I feel great. That was a wild night, huh?”

    “It was. Did you enjoy it?”

    “Very much, you?”

    “Definitely. How’s your hole?”

    “It feels pretty ravaged, wanna see?”

    “I do.”

    I flipped onto my stomach.

    Steve’s fingers felt around the perimeter of my cunt hole.

    “Not too bad. I mean, it definitely looks used, but I thought it was gonna be worse.”

    Steve didn’t stop playing in my hole.

    “Is it sore?”

    “No, not really.”

    “You know…I could be up for more if you have no plans today.”

    “Really? You sure?”

    “Oh yeah, I’m very sure. You know, maybe I could call James and see if he’s available.”

    “Yeah”, that would be fun…

  • Not Safe For Work

    If anyone asked, Clark was just my work friend. A really good one, okay? The kind who always had a granola bar when you forgot lunch, sent the spiciest memes during meetings, and could make the printer work without violence.

    He also sat next to me. Which meant I saw a lot of him, literally and metaphorically. I knew the smell of his cologne. I knew the way he tapped his fingers when he was deep in thought. I knew that he always left his top button open, and sometimes, when the afternoon sun hit just right, I caught glimpses of a tan line just beneath his collarbone.

    Not that I noticed. I mean, not really.

    So when we got sent to a seminar in another city, two days, all expenses paid, very corporate, very beige, I was excited. Time away from our annoying team lead. A free hotel buffet. And Clark. Chill, funny, impossible-to-be-bored-around Clark.

    The room was bigger than I expected, with one king-sized bed sitting in the middle like it owned the place.

    Clark stepped in beside me, dropped his duffel, and whistled low. “Wow. Fancy.”

    I laughed. “Yeah. Super romantic.”

    “Oh no, did I forget the rose petals?” he deadpanned. “God, I always do that.”

    I shook my head, grinning. Same old Clark, flirty by default, always joking. No butterflies. No stomach flips. Just warm friendship and sarcastic banter.

    And then he started unzipping his hoodie.

    And… didn’t stop.

    He peeled off his T-shirt like it was nothing, and suddenly, I was very aware that I’d never actually seen Clark shirtless before. I mean, not really.

    His body was… well, unfair.

    Lean muscle, sculpted like he jogged in the mornings and had angry gym sex at night. A trail of dark hair led from his abs downward, disappearing into the waistband of his jeans like it had secrets.

    My throat went dry. Oh.

    “Dude,” Clark said, catching me mid-stare. “You okay?”

    I blinked. “Yeah. Yeah. Just surprised you strip the second you see a bed.”

    He grinned. “Can’t help it. Something about hotels just makes me feral.”

    It was a joke. It had to be. But my ears felt hot.

    He turned away, digging through his bag for fresh clothes, and I finally breathed again. Okay. So Clark was hot. Objectively. Big deal. I could handle this. We were just friends.

    I pulled off my sweater and jeans, swapping them for the only clean shorts I had, soft cotton, kind of short. Whatever. I was mid-way through tugging them up when I heard a low whistle behind me.

    “Jacob,” Clark said, his voice like a smirk. “Didn’t know you were packing a monster.”

    “What?!”

    I spun around, and there he was, shirtless and smug, eyes unapologetically fixed on the bulge in my shorts.

    “I—what—no—it’s just the fabric,” I stammered.

    He raised an eyebrow. “Sure, man. The ‘fabric.’ That’s what they all say.”

    I wanted the ground to eat me. Or at least offer me a supportive hoodie.

    “You’re such a dick,” I muttered, tugging at my waistband.

    Clark leaned casually against the dresser, still shirtless, still impossible. “I mean, if I’d known what was under those khakis, I might’ve flirted harder at work.”

    He was joking. Probably. But it landed differently this time.

    My heart thudded. Not in panic. Not quite.

    “You flirt with everyone,” I said, arms crossed. “It’s, like, your brand.”

    He tilted his head. “True. But I don’t always mean it.”

    “And now?”

    A pause. A beat longer than friendly.

    “I don’t know,” he said slowly, eyes tracing my face. “Something about this room. Or maybe just seeing you out of your accountant-core clothes.”

    “I’m not an accountant,” I muttered.

    “But you dress like one. A hot one, apparently.”

    I laughed despite myself, too flustered to be annoyed. Clark’s gaze lingered, heat in it now, and not the fake kind he used at happy hour.

    I suddenly noticed how close we were. Just a few feet. One bed between us. No cubicles. No office air conditioning to cool the tension curling between us like steam.

    “You wanna check out the hotel steam room?” Clark asked, voice low and casual. Too casual.

    “What?”

    “There’s one downstairs. I saw it in the brochure,” he said, already walking toward the bathroom to grab a towel. “You look like you need to sweat some things out.”

    I should’ve said no. I should’ve made a joke, deflected, laughed it off like we always did.

    But instead I nodded. “Yeah. Sure. Sounds good.”

    As he disappeared into the bathroom again, I caught myself in the mirror. My cheeks were flushed. My chest tight. And somewhere beneath the nervous energy, a thrill I hadn’t expected.

    Clark was my friend.

    But maybe, just maybe, tonight he was something else.

    We found the locker room tucked behind the hotel’s deserted pool. It was modern, tiled in sleek gray and silver, the air already warm from the steam filtering in from the adjacent door.

    Clark was in front of me, tossing his gym bag onto the bench with a thud. He stretched his arms overhead and yawned. His T-shirt rode up just enough to reveal a sliver of skin, the ridged lines of his lower abs peeking out like an accident I was never supposed to see.

    “You ever been in one of these steam rooms?” he asked, kicking off his sneakers.

    “Nope,” I said, trying to sound casual and not distracted. “First time.”

    “You’re in for a treat. Hot, wet, slippery. Just like your search history, I imagine.”

    I rolled my eyes, but my laugh came out a little too breathless.

    We started undressing. I peeled off my shirt quickly, then hesitated with my shorts. I glanced sideways. Clark had already taken off his shirt and stood there in just his black boxer briefs, his back turned as he rifled through his bag.

    His body was… yeah. It was a whole thing.

    Broad shoulders. Tapered waist. That clean line from his ribs to his hips. A strong, sculpted back that looked like it could carry emotional baggage and lift heavy boxes.

    I turned toward the lockers, facing away, and wrapped the towel around my waist before sliding off my shorts and underwear underneath. Quick, clinical. The towel was secure before I stood straight again.

    I turned. And instantly regretted it.

    Clark had already stripped. Completely. He stood facing me, nude, towel still in his hand, not even pretending to cover up. I blinked hard.

    “Seriously?” I said, voice cracking like a preteen.

    “What?” He smirked, that insufferably confident grin on his face. “You changing in the towel like a shy boy at summer camp?”

    I tried not to stare but that was like trying not to notice a meteor crashing through your living room. His chest was lightly dusted with hair, thick in the middle and tapering down in a line over abs that looked ridiculously tight. His cock hung thick and soft between his thighs, swaying a little as he moved, completely unbothered. Confident. At ease in his skin in a way I had never been.

    He slung the towel around his hips eventually, but not before I got an eyeful. Or five.

    “Ready?” he asked, already heading toward the steam room entrance.

    I cleared my throat. “Yup. Super ready. Very ready.”

    He pushed open the door and a thick wave of heat rolled over us. It was like stepping into fog that wanted to flirt with you. Warm, heavy, humid. Visibility dropped almost instantly, but the interior was softly lit with a golden glow behind the mist.

    We were alone.

    The room had wide stone benches lining the walls and a faint eucalyptus scent hanging in the air, clean and sharp beneath the sweat-heavy heat. Clark walked to the far side and sat down, legs apart, arms resting over the back of the bench like a sun-drenched Roman god.

    I sat across from him, doing my best to keep my towel in place and my eyes higher than his shoulders.

    “You’re tense,” he said after a moment, steam curling through his hair.

    “I’m not tense,” I lied, my voice slightly strangled.

    “You’ve got a death grip on that towel like it owes you money.”

    I glanced down. My knuckles were white.

    “You’re so chill about all this,” I muttered.

    He shrugged. “Nudity’s natural. So is staring, by the way.”

    “I’m not staring.”

    “Sure you’re not.” He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, which did exactly nothing to keep my eyes from drifting lower. His towel rode up slightly and I looked away so hard my neck cracked.

    “This is fine,” I said out loud. “Totally normal work trip behavior.”

    “You’re the one who booked the spa suite,” he said with a wink.

    I laughed despite myself. “I literally did not.”

    “Details.” He stretched again, arms long, chest rising. Sweat glistened on his skin and I hated how much I noticed every single drop.

    “You ever… uh…” I hesitated.

    He arched a brow. “Spit it out.”

    “You ever… done anything with a guy?”

    He tilted his head. “Yeah. A few times.”

    My heart kicked a little harder in my chest. “Oh.”

    “You haven’t, I’m guessing?”

    “No.” My voice was soft now. “Not really.”

    “You curious?”

    I hesitated. Then nodded.

    “That’s hot,” he said, completely serious, and leaned back against the wall, stretching again. “You can say that, you know. You’re allowed to want things.”

    “Like what?” I asked, genuinely unsure.

    He smirked. “Like… seeing me without the towel again.”

    “I saw you already.”

    “And you’re still blushing.”

    “I’m not blushing.”

    “You so are.”

    I shifted in my seat, trying to discreetly adjust my own towel, which was now feeling a bit too tight, and not in a good way.

    Clark looked down at my lap, then back up with a raised brow. “That towel hiding a monster bulge again?”

    I groaned into my hands. “Can you not?”

    He laughed. “No. It’s adorable. And very flattering.”

    “Stop saying things like that.”

    “Why? You’re hot. Own it.”

    He said it so plainly. No teasing this time. Just truth, wrapped in steam and heat and something that made my skin buzz.

    The room went quiet for a moment. Just the hiss of the steam, the steady drip of condensation, the sound of my heart trying to beat its way out of my chest.

    Then Clark sighed, dramatically wiping sweat from his chest. “Shit. It’s getting too hot in here.”

    I glanced up. “Yeah, it’s kind of the point.”

    “No, like… really hot.”

    He looked me dead in the eye.

    Then undid his towel.

    And dropped it.

    Just like that.

    He stretched again, arms behind his head, letting it all hang loose like it was the most normal thing in the world. His cock lay heavy across one thigh, thick and perfect, glistening with moisture. He sat there, completely at ease, completely naked, and completely infuriating.

    I stared.

    I couldn’t not.

    Every inch of him was beautiful. Legs spread wide, skin gleaming, muscles relaxed but present. He looked like a sculpture that had gotten bored of standing still and decided to stretch out and start flirting with the artist.

    And the whole time, he just kept talking like we were still in the locker room.

    “You think they use real eucalyptus oil in here or just some spa-scented chemical spray?” he asked.

    I blinked at him. “What?”

    “Smells good, right?”

    “You’re… you’re naked.”

    “Yup.”

    “And talking to me. Like… like this is normal.”

    He looked around. “It kind of is.”

    “This is not normal, Clark.”

    He grinned. “You want it to be?”

    I swallowed. My towel was suddenly very inadequate. Every part of me was lit up. Curious. Nervous. Insanely, helplessly aroused.

    And he knew it.

    He didn’t move closer. Didn’t pressure. Just sat there, letting me look, letting me want, letting me feel.

    It was, somehow, the most seductive thing I had ever experienced.

    “I don’t know what I want,” I admitted.

    He smiled. “That’s fine.”

    And somehow, I believed him.

    The steam clung to my skin like a secret. It blurred the edges of the room but sharpened everything between us.

    Clark sat there, naked, sprawled like sin on marble. His chest rose and fell with the lazy rhythm of someone who knew exactly how he looked and didn’t care that I was staring. Or maybe he did. Maybe he wanted me to.

    My eyes traced him helplessly. The lines of his thighs. The sweat on his collarbone. The slow twitch of his fingers against the bench. I was trying not to look at his cock, but God help me, it was right there, thick, relaxed, resting against one thigh like it belonged in a museum behind velvet ropes and armed guards.

    And then, movement.

    Slow. Subtle.

    But unmistakable.

    It started to swell.

    I blinked. Looked up, heart hammering.

    Clark hadn’t stopped watching me. His gaze was easy, almost amused. His lips parted slightly, like he was just about to say something casual. Something friendly. Something that would make me laugh, except now my pulse was doing backflips and I was suddenly very aware of my own towel. Or rather, the very obvious situation underneath it.

    Panic fluttered in my chest. I blurted out the first thing I could think of.

    “So, uh… did you notice that eucalyptus is in everything lately? Like, even toothpaste. I mean, I guess it’s refreshing, right? But also weird. I’m not sure I want to brush my teeth with the same thing they use for koalas.”

    Clark blinked slowly. A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

    I kept going. Desperate.

    “I once bought shampoo that had eucalyptus and mint. My scalp felt like it had frostbite. And not in a fun way.”

    “Jacob,” he said quietly.

    “Yeah?”

    “Shut up.”

    And then he kissed me.

    It wasn’t gentle. It wasn’t shy.

    His mouth found mine like it had been waiting, like it had been planning this since the elevator ride, since the moment we opened the door to the one-bed room, since the second he caught me looking at him like I didn’t understand why my heart skipped when he touched my shoulder.

    His hand cupped my jaw, firm and warm, fingers threading into the hair behind my ear. He tilted my head like he owned it and pressed in, lips soft but demanding.

    My towel slipped.

    I didn’t care.

    Every part of me buzzed, lit up under his touch. His mouth moved against mine, slow at first, tasting me. He explored with intent—tongue teasing the seam of my lips, pulling a shaky sound from my throat. I opened for him, helpless. Surrendering.

    His other hand slid down my chest, fingers splayed over damp skin, and I shivered. I could feel his arousal now, brushing against my thigh as he leaned closer. He was hard. So was I. Our bodies fit together in the steam, sticky and slick and perfect.

    I pulled back just enough to breathe, eyes wide.

    “Clark,” I whispered. My voice cracked.

    His hand stayed on my chest. “Still think this is just a normal work trip?”

    I laughed softly, then bit my lip when his fingers traced down, feather-light, over the center of my belly. His thumb skimmed the line of hair leading lower, and I felt my cock twitch, aching now, pressed against his leg.

    “Tell me to stop,” he murmured, lips brushing my jaw.

    I didn’t.

    Instead, I kissed him.

    Harder this time. Fiercer. My hands found his shoulders, then slid down the wet, muscled lines of his back. His skin was slick with sweat and steam. He tasted like heat. His tongue tangled with mine and the kiss deepened, messy now, urgent. Our hips pressed together and I moaned into his mouth when I felt how hard he was against me.

    “Jesus,” I gasped, breaking the kiss.

    Clark leaned back just enough to look at me. His pupils were blown wide, lips red from kissing. “You okay?”

    I nodded. Then shook my head. Then nodded again. “I don’t know what I’m doing.”

    “You’re doing great,” he said, smiling. “You’ve got a natural talent.”

    “I’ve never kissed a guy before.”

    His hand slipped to my thigh, gripping it gently. “You want to stop?”

    “No,” I said, faster than I meant to. “God, no.”

    He leaned in again, slower this time. His lips brushed mine, softer now, coaxing. Like he was showing me how. His hands never stopped moving—sliding over my chest, my hips, teasing the edge of where I wanted him most.

    Every nerve in my body screamed for more.

    I reached for him, letting my fingers roam across his chest, over the hard plane of his stomach. He shuddered when I touched him, hips twitching forward. Our cocks brushed and we both gasped.

    “Fuck,” he whispered. “You feel good.”

    “So do you,” I murmured.

    The kiss that followed was slower, deeper. Tongue and teeth, lips dragging. He sucked gently at my bottom lip and I moaned, helpless. My hands clutched his back, sliding down to his ass, pulling him closer until our bodies were flush, cocks pressed together, hard and slick between us.

    “I’ve wanted to do that all night,” he whispered.

    “You could’ve warned me.”

    “Would you have handled it better?”

    “Nope.”

    He laughed, pressing kisses down my neck now, each one hotter than the last. I tipped my head back, giving him access, the steam wrapping around us like a second skin. My heart was racing. I didn’t know where this was going but I didn’t care. I just wanted more. I wanted him.

    And from the way he touched me, he wanted me too.

    No hesitation. No pretending.

    Just heat. And breath. And the beginning of something I hadn’t expected but was no longer afraid of.

    Not with him.

    Clark kissed like he wanted to learn everything about me through my mouth. Like every brush of his lips was a question and every gasp I gave was the answer he’d been hoping for. I’d kissed people before—drunken hookups in college, messy first dates—but nothing like this. This felt like melting and blooming at the same time. Like the steam around us had worked its way into my skin and was now pulsing through my veins.

    We were still on the stone bench, slippery with sweat and heat, our bodies sliding together in fits and starts as the kiss deepened. His hands were everywhere—palming my chest, grazing my neck, skimming low along the curve of my back. Each touch sent a shiver through me, even though the air was thick and boiling.

    “Fuck, Jacob,” he murmured, lips brushing mine. “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted this.”

    “You’re not… just messing with me?” I asked, breath catching as he kissed my jaw.

    His hand came up to cup my face. “Do I look like I’m kidding?”

    He didn’t. He looked intense, focused, wild in the best way. His pupils were wide and hungry, his skin glowing with heat and desire. Every inch of him radiated want—not just lust, but something deeper. Something that wrapped around my ribs and squeezed.

    His lips moved again, trailing down my throat, slow and deliberate. He kissed along the edge of my collarbone, tasting the sweat there, and I groaned softly, gripping his shoulders for balance.

    “Clark,” I whispered, barely holding onto language. “What are we doing?”

    He looked up, kissed the tip of my nose. “We’re figuring things out.”

    And then his mouth was on my chest.

    My head dropped back with a thud against the wall as his lips found my nipple, sucking gently, his tongue circling until I gasped. No one had ever done that to me before, not like this, not with such focus. His hands slid down my sides, kneading the flesh just above my hips, pulling me closer.

    Our cocks brushed again, both of us hard and leaking now, the sensation sending sparks up my spine.

    I ran my fingers through his wet hair and pulled him up to kiss me again. Our mouths crashed together, messier now, our teeth clacking a little before our lips found rhythm again. His hands roamed lower, over my ass, gripping me firmly, tilting my hips against his.

    “Feels so good,” I breathed into his mouth.

    He chuckled. “I told you the steam room would be fun.”

    “It’s basically illegal how good this feels.”

    He leaned in close, his forehead pressing against mine. “Then I guess we’re committing a felony.”

    And then we weren’t talking anymore.

    Clark pushed me gently back against the bench, sliding down to his knees in front of me. His eyes didn’t leave mine, not even as he kissed down my chest again, his tongue following the center line of my body like a map. My legs opened instinctively, breath catching as he kissed the inside of my thigh, hot and wet and so close I could feel the heat of his breath against my cock.

    I reached for him, not sure if I was going to pull him up or beg him to stay where he was.

    He answered for me.

    His mouth wrapped around me—slow, warm, deep.

    My vision went white for a second.

    “Jesus Christ,” I gasped, my head rolling back.

    He took his time, mouth sliding down the length of me with practiced ease. His hands gripped my thighs, holding me steady, and he moaned softly as he moved—like he enjoyed the taste of me, like this was something he’d been craving.

    The sounds alone were enough to make my knees weak. The wet, rhythmic suck of his mouth, the slow drag of his tongue, the slick slide as he bobbed his head, all of it echoing in the steam, amplified by heat and want.

    My hands found his shoulders, then his hair, fingers curling tight.

    “I’m not gonna last if you keep doing that,” I warned.

    He pulled off with a wicked grin. “That’s kind of the idea.”

    “I want—” I swallowed, panting. “I want more.”

    He stood and kissed me again, slower now, letting me taste myself on his tongue. My hands roamed his body, finally bold enough to explore—his broad chest, the curve of his waist, the sharp line of his hipbones. I reached down between us and wrapped my hand around his cock, hard and slick and heavy in my palm.

    He groaned into my mouth. “God, Jacob…”

    I stroked him gently, watching his face twist with pleasure, feeling the power of it in my chest. He rolled his hips into my hand, eyes fluttering shut, then opened them again—dark and full of fire.

    “You sure about this?” he asked, his voice a low rumble.

    I nodded, heart pounding. “I’ve never been more sure of anything.”

    We shifted, finding space on the long bench. Clark guided me down, lying beside me, his body covering mine, our legs tangled together. We kissed again, slower now, deeper, our hips rolling against each other in time with the heavy breaths we shared.

    His hand moved between us, slicking us with spit and sweat, stroking us both together. Our cocks pressed, rubbing in sync, the friction maddening. I moaned into his mouth, my hands gripping his back, nails dragging down the curve of his spine.

    “Want you,” I whispered. “All of you.”

    He paused, just for a moment, forehead resting against mine. “Are you sure? I don’t want to rush you.”

    I looked into his eyes. “I’ve been waiting my whole life to feel like this. I want it. I want you.”

    That was all he needed.

    He moved slowly, deliberately, reaching into his towel for a small bottle I hadn’t seen. He smiled sheepishly. “Just in case.”

    “You brought lube to the steam room?”

    “Boy Scout motto: be prepared.”

    I laughed, breathless.

    And then I stopped laughing, because his fingers were slick now, sliding gently between my thighs, teasing, circling. I spread my legs for him, heart racing, nerves electric. He kissed me while he touched me, soft and steady, helping me open up to him with slow care. Each motion was met with a whispered word, a kiss, a look. I felt safe. I felt seen.

    And when he finally eased into me—slow, steady, careful—I felt everything.

    There was a stretch, a sting, and then a fullness that made me moan low in my throat. He paused, giving me time, brushing his lips over mine.

    “You okay?” he whispered.

    “Yeah,” I breathed. “Keep going.”

    He moved slowly at first, rocking into me with gentle rhythm. My hands clung to him, gripping his shoulders, my eyes locked on his. I saw the tension in his jaw, the reverence in his expression, the awe.

    “You feel so fucking good,” he groaned, moving deeper.

    I wrapped my legs around his waist and met him thrust for thrust. The heat around us mirrored the heat inside me. The steam swirled like a veil, making everything more intimate, more dreamlike. We moved together, bodies slick, breath tangled, sweat dripping from his forehead onto my chest.

    His cock hit that perfect spot inside me and I cried out, fingers clawing at his back.

    “Right there?” he whispered, breath catching.

    “Yes. Fuck, Clark…”

    He kissed me again, harder, driving into me with more urgency. Our bodies slapped together, wet and desperate, each thrust winding me tighter, making the pleasure rise fast and sharp. I felt him everywhere. Inside me, over me, against me. He was the air and the fire and the gravity keeping me grounded even as I unraveled.

    “I’m close,” I gasped.

    “Me too,” he groaned.

    One more thrust. Two.

    And I shattered.

    I came hard between us, moaning his name into his mouth, my body convulsing under him. He followed a second later, with a deep groan, hips jerking as he spilled inside me, his whole body trembling with release.

    We collapsed into each other, gasping, clinging. The heat cocooned us, but I didn’t care. I could barely think. All I could do was feel—his breath on my neck, his hand on my chest, his heart pounding against mine.

    He kissed my forehead. Then my cheek. Then my lips.

    “Still think this isn’t a normal work trip?” he murmured.

    I laughed, exhausted and euphoric. “If this is what happens on company seminars, we need to go to more of them.”

    He smiled. “I’d share a single bed with you anywhere.”

    And wrapped in the warmth of the steam and his arms, I believed him.

  • Gagged, Grinded, & Legally Screwed

    They say bad things come in threes.

    The cease-and-desist letter arrived in threes.

    First by certified mail.

    Then by Email.

    And last by Grinded app notification from user SuitedDaddy4Justice.

    Their bio? Here 4 legal penetration. 😈⚖️

    They gave it to him straight.

    Well.

    As straight as anything involving Grinded could be.

    “Cease immediately or prepare to be legally raw-dogged harder than a twink at his first Pride.”

    Austin Coyle, 32, part-time barista and full-time mistake, read it while shoveling cold leftovers into his mouth, surrounded by empty soda cans and a cat named Peanut Bottom, whose judgmental glare screamed Fox News and Fancy Feast.

    “We are prepared to pursue aggressive legal action regarding the malicious and defamatory portrayal of our client’s revolutionary social platform within your literary hate crime.”

    It was signed by The Law Offices of Grinded LLC, whose company motto was, “Slide into Our DMs… in Court.”

    Austin blinked at the letter like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming midlife crisis.

    His questionable fame began with Grinded & Bound: The Paranormal Hookup Files, a novella best described as if Stephen King ghostwrote an episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race while drunk on Fireball.

    The plot? A cursed dating app that makes hookups go supernaturally sideways.

    It quickly became a cult hit online. Comments included:

    “This healed me in ways therapy couldn’t.”

    “Is the ghost real or just a metaphor for my last situationship? Either way, hot.”

    “This is what happens when gay men aren’t supervised by publishing houses.”

    “This awakened something in me that probably should have stayed asleep.”

    “I screamed. I cried. I got turned on.”

    But apparently, not everyone was thrilled with Austin’s literary masterpiece.

    Some people, namely, a corporate team with unlimited legal ammo and possibly a ritual blood oath with Verizon, were Big Mad.

    So Austin, of course, did what any desperate millennial does when faced with legal annihilation and $8.73 in his checking account.

    He went to Reddit.

    Specifically, r/legaladvice.

    Even more specifically, he hired a guy from there named Brad.

    Yes, Brad.

    They arranged to meet at a Starbucks.

    Brad arrived ten minutes late, wearing cargo shorts and carrying a binder labeled LAW STUFF.

    “So like,” Brad began, “fair use is when something’s fair. Like, if it’s funny, it’s chill. That’s literally the law.”

    Austin stared at him like he’d just offered legal advice via Ouija board and crystal ball consultation.

    “Did you actually go to law school?”

    “I mean… I went to Abraham Lincoln University Online, yeah. It’s totally accredited. I think.”

    Brad then claimed to have once “helped a YouTuber not get sued by Chuck E. Cheese for making a horror movie in the ball pit.”

    “Plus,” he added, “I once sued myself for character defamation. I lost. But I learned a lot.”

    Austin’s soul left his body, took a walk around the block while smoking a cigarette, and reluctantly returned.


    Court was held in a stuffy downtown building that smelled like old coffee, crushed dreams, and the faint aroma of judicial disappointment.

    The courtroom was packed. Half with legal observers who clearly had nothing better to do, half with fans in cosplay holding signs that read:

    “I BELIEVE IN GHOST DICK JUSTICE”

    “HAUNT ME, DADDY”

    “LEAVE AUSTIN ALONE!”

    The prosecution was led by a man so devoid of joy he looked like he strangled puppies for cardio. His tie was covered in tiny gavels, his suit was the color of despair, and his facial expression suggested he’d never experienced physical affection, basic human kindness, or a single gram of serotonin.

    His soul had clearly been repossessed by Sallie Mae, resold to corporate overlords, and was now being rented back to him at a premium rate.

    The judge, a 60-something woman with cat-eye eyeglasses and deep “I don’t have time for this shit” energy, eyed the crowd, sighed, and motioned for opening statements.

    Prosecutor Gavel Tie came in hard, loud, and painfully dry.

    “Your Honor,” he bellowed, “the defendant has maliciously portrayed my client’s innovative dating platform as, and I quote, ‘a cursed hellscape where horny meets haunted and daddy issues go to reincarnate.’”

    “Furthermore,” Gavel Tie barked, “his book suggests users are engaging in necro-communication via unsolicited ectoplasmic sexts.”

    Austin whispered to Brad, “To be fair, that’s still more reliable than their app’s message function.”

    Brad nodded and scribbled, Ghosts not likely to ghost?

    “And let’s not forget,” Gavel Tie thundered, “his depiction of our app’s users as, again, quoting directly, ‘men who list masc4masc but still haunt their ex’s Netflix login.’”

    Austin shrugged. “Some subscriptions never end.”

    “Mr. Coyle,” the prosecutor asked, pacing like an angry Karen demanding to speak to the manager, “are you aware that parody requires actual comedic intent?”

    “I was until I read this lawsuit. Now I’m not sure anyone here knows what comedy is.”

    “Did you describe Grinded as ‘Tinder’s gay, gothic twin with less functionality and a Beetlejuice addiction’?”

    “Yes. I’ve seen ant farms with fewer bugs than their app.”

    “Why write something so indecent?”

    “Because healing’s expensive, shame is free, and my mental breakdowns have surprisingly good pacing.”

    Finally, with his shirt freshly ironed and soul slightly wrinkled, Austin stood and addressed the court, channeling every courtroom drama he’d ever binge-watched on Netflix.

    “Your Honor, I didn’t write this story to defame anyone. I wrote it because I was sad, horny, and accidentally downloaded a haunted dating app while drunk.”

    He continued. “It’s not about Grinded, really. It’s about healing. About wanting to haunt your ex but not being able to afford a medium.”

    Austin looked around the courtroom.

    “I never set out to hurt their brand. Honestly, I improved it. Before my story, they were just another bug-ridden, soul-sucking hookup app. Now? They’ve got lore. They’ve got plot. They’ve got ghost-flavored dick.

    He paused for dramatic effect.

    “And let the record show: I did not invent the haunted app rumors. I just wrote what their users were already screaming in one-star reviews.”

    He handed a printed review to the judge that read, “Matched with my ex. He’s dead. App crashed. Ghosted… again.”

    Austin nodded triumphantly. “Your Honor, that’s not libel. That’s customer dissatisfaction. And customers don’t lie. They’re just dead inside. Sometimes literally.”

    The jury deliberated for exactly eight minutes. Just enough time to order a round of lattes, start a group chat called “Grinded Truthers,” and collectively decide that this was the most entertainment they’d had since Tiger King.

    They returned with the verdict.

    “Not guilty on all counts. Also, when’s the movie adaptation?”

    The judge banged her gavel. “Case dismissed. Mr. Coyle, you’re free to go. Try not to piss off Apple next time.”

    Austin turned to Brad. They fist bumped like two dudes who had just successfully won against Satan using nothing but vibes and a free trial of Grammarly Premium.

    The real victory though?

    Austin’s book sales skyrocketed in the following weeks.

    Turns out, being legally screwed doesn’t always leave you on your knees.

    Sometimes, you finish with a happy ending instead.

    ≈ Ch. 13: DEIMOS’ WIFE ≈

     

    ~ A unique Eclipse ~

    For many long minutes Jason stood still, in silence, sitting on the floor of the ‘office’, staring at the large screen on the wall, still displaying the name “BOBA-MAIII”. He felt somewhat betrayed. He’d been taught since he was a child about the almighty Boba-Maiii who looked after them all, but could become so angry to exterminate his sons; and he’d be taught that Eclipse, their home, was unique in the Universe, as much as Earth, a fabled paradise where good men and women would be brought in the afterlife.

    Jason felt betrayed, but soon realized there was no one to put the blame on, for all the lies he lived imbued with his entire life. No one ever decided that Commodore Barack Obama III was a god named Boba-Maiii. No one ever stated that men should either lay with a woman or live in permanent celibacy. No one ever knowingly invented the story that Boba-Maiii, in his blind fury, nearly annihilated Eclipse. It was all the result of people’s ignorance.

    Little Eve truly believed, in her innocent cluelessness, that she had to pray to Boba-Maiii to get food. Besides, back then, the adults already did the same to get their meals, blindly following a habit that slowly had become a rite. And Eve’s baby brother Adam was sincerely scared by the catastrophic outcome of the terrible human mistake that killed all the Eclipsians and could know nothing about scientists, experiments and toxins. And later on, none of the narrow-minded heterosexual Eclipsians ever found man-love or masturbation viable alternatives to an unprecedented lack of women: for them, the hard celibacy men had to endure was the obvious consequence of a ‘law’ that many ignorant Guardians, long before, in good faith considered Boba-Maiii’s true commandment.

    Jason smiled with love and gratitude, thinking at Aric, and all the countless men before him, who chose the narrow path of freedom over the large road of passive obedience. Once, Aric mentioned “a wonderful man” who initiated him to the pleasures of man-love, and Jason thought that it wasn’t that different than Archon teaching him how to be a Guardian. Jokingly, Jason and Stellan had called Aric the God of Pleasure, but in truth he was the Guardian of free love.

    As for Eclipse… it didn’t change much for Jason knowing, now, that what so far had been his entire Universe was in reality a small forgotten outpost at the outskirt of the galaxy; after all, there was no other places to go: was it really that relevant whether his only possible home was a unique reflection of the mystic Earth, or just a place lost in space and time, so much distant from Earth that going back wasn’t even possible?

    “So…” – Jason said aloud to Laudon, with a disillusioned tone – “Eclipse is nothing special, in the end. It actually seems to be the least important of the many similar outposts scattered throughout the galaxy…”

    “You’re mistaken, Jason. I never said anything like that. As a matter of fact, this outpost is unique, it’s the envy of the entire Eclipse project. All the other Eclipse bases can only rely on the power generated by the Gravitor Propulsor of the starship, which is merely enough to survive in harsh conditions. This base, and planet Exilium, are different and unique: here, the underground is rich of liquid water, and the crystals of Radiant can potentially provide an infinite amount of energy, that I use to regulate the temperature, shield the base from the lethal sunrays and provide any kind of objects and food the Eclipsians may need.”

    Jason was aghast, and felt guilty for having underestimated the quality of life he’d been granted so far. It was true, at Eclipse they had running water, a constant warm temperature, well-lit rooms and anything they might need, including bandages to cure a wound or… scented oil to make love.

    “I’m sorry, Laudon, I didn’t mean to belittle Eclipse or you, who are, I can guess, as unique as this base.”

    “I am.” – Laudon confirmed, without the faintest hint of pride in his calm voice – “This mission was intended to be no-return since the beginning, so I’ve been given the ability to grow, learn, do things that no other Laudon system can.”

    Jason chuckled: “Except, maybe, providing good food. That tasteless brownish cream you always give us is just… terrible!”

    Laudon stood silent for a few seconds before replying: “I just checked the audio recordings of the last decades, and every single time the Eclipsians need food, they always use the same formula: ‘Please provide some food’, and that’s what I provide: a perfectly balanced food containing all the nutrients a human being needs to live, grow up, work or… have fun. I hear what happens in the bedrooms at night, and sure enough the people involved don’t ever run out of energy due to the poor food I provide. Yours is the very first complaint I receive about the food. Besides, I’ve found in my records your recent request for food ‘delightful enough’ to comfort Deimos, which I’ve promptly provided…”

    “Do you mean I could’ve always asked for tasty food like that?!” – Jason bellowed, angrily leaping to his feet – “And I’ve eaten tasteless food for twenty-two years without any reason??”

    “You and all the Eclipsians, according to my records, with the only exception of Deimos, recently. Creating more elaborate food requires more energy and more raw materials – preys and fruits – but can be easily done, if you ask for it.”

    Laudon’s last reply made Jason calm down and chuckle: it was absolutely impossible, and even stupid, to get angry with an A.I. that just executed orders with utmost precision. People asked for ‘food’, stupidly sticking to a sort of religious formula, and Laudon gave them exactly what they asked for. Once more, the Eclipsians (including Jason himself) had no one else to blame than themselves.

    However, Jason happily pondered, his meals were about to change for the better, now that he knew that he just had to ask for it! Except… it wasn’t that simple: how could he explain to the Eclipsians that now ‘Boba-Maiii’ was willing to give them something that he apparently denied for centuries?

    Even though the taste of the food was clearly a minor issue, it highlighted with surprising force how daunting a task awaited Jason as the future Guardian. Eclipse wasn’t ready to know the truth, and wouldn’t be for a long time, if ever.

    It was very late, but a sudden curiosity made Jason’s eyes shine: “I’m going to take something, wait here!”

    “I’m here, I’m everywhere” – Jason heard Laudon reply, while the door to the Antechamber slid open. After a few moments, Jason came back to the office bringing with him the weird ‘magical’ metal device that always pointed to the Temple.

    “Laudon, what is this?” – he asked, holding the object in his open hand; Jason didn’t know how Laudon could ‘see’ it, but he remembered that the Temple was the only area where the AI could receive visual inputs.

    “It was the Commodore’s most treasured possession. It’s an ancient compass; it was ancient even when the Commodore brought it with him, leaving Earth to come here. On Earth, compasses always point to the North Pole, but Exilium doesn’t have a magnetic field; so, that compass, though of remarkable workmanship, it’s totally useless.”

    “But it always points to the Templ… I mean, to this area!” – Jason objected, and Laudon stood silent for a few seconds, making calculations: “It must be affected by the faint magnetic field created by the Gravitor engine, located right under this room. The magnetic field is very faint, so it goes unnoticed by the Eclipsians, but it can be detected by the compass for four or five miles outside Eclipse. The Commodore always kept that compass with him, even though he could never venture outside the base.”

    “But… wasn’t the Commodore a Dark? I saw his photo, he had dark skin!”

    “Only dark-skinned people of African descent carry the special genes that make them immune from the lethal radiations of the Suns and the crystal of Radiant. The Commodore, like many other dark-skinned Eclipsians, was a ‘Pale’… to adopt the terminology currently in use.”

    A long, deep yawn escaped from Jason’s mouth, and he quickly slip the compass in the pocket hidden under his tunic: he wanted to keep it with him, like the Commodore used to do, as the compass seemed to always point to the truth. Jason felt he needed something to stay on the right course, while sailing the wild waters of myth, religion, beliefs, knowledge and ignorance. “I should go, it must be very late in the night…”

    “It’s actually early in the morning…” – Laudon stated – “…though here on Exilium ‘night’ and ‘morning’ are no more than ancient conventions inherited from Earth time. The twin Suns never set or raise at the same time, so it’s always daytime, outdoors.”

    Jason laughed: “Guess I’ll just sleep all day instead of all night, then! Goodbye, Laudon. I’ll come back when I can.”

     

    ~ Free love is the way ~

    He headed to his room, but deep in his heart he was still thinking of the fundamental role that Aric and many other men, mostly unknowingly, had played to keep the ideal of free love alive throughout the centuries.

    Instead of stopping at his room, Jason walked on to the end of the hallway and opened Aric’s door. The janitor was waking up to another workday, and looked with sleepy eyes at Jason, who silently walked to him and gave a tender kiss to his stubbled lips, his hairy chest and his flaccid cock.

    “Why’s that?” – Aric slurred, puzzled, and Jason looked down at him with affection and respect: “I paid homage to your mind, your heart and your sex, as they are like a light in the darkness.”

    “If you want another fuck, you don’t need fancy words, just ask straight…”

    Jason chuckled and shook his head. “Don’t you ever change, God of Pleasure” – he murmured, turning around to go away, and smiled hearing Aric growling: “You bet, boy…”

    Feeling wasted, after a long night of wild sex and unsettling truths, Jason went to his room and, true to his word, slept through the whole day. While drifting to a restful unconsciousness, his last thought was that he wanted a tag to stitch inside his tunic: he was a man-lover, now and forever, and free love was his way. No turning back.

    For many hours Jason lay in his bed, enjoying a much-needed restful sleep. At some point he dreamt of Deimos, who was giving him a sweet, tender kiss on his lips. Jason could even smell the fragrance of his skin, and smiled in his sleep.

    Jason lazily opened his eyes and gasped, seeing Deimos’ handsome face an inch from his own; without even thinking, Jason hurriedly pulled the bedsheet over his naked body, making Deimos chuckle: “It’s a bit late for being shy with me, isn’t it? I came to see if everything was fine, as it’s dinner time and I didn’t see you the whole day…”

    “Dinner time?! Oh, my, I’ve indeed slept through the whole day…! Thank you for coming and checking on me, Deimos, and… thank you for the beautiful awakening. I loved it. Please, go back to your room and wait for me, I’ll soon join you. Don’t have dinner! I have a surprise for you!”

    “OK, OK, I’m going…” – Deimos replied with a mischievous grin – “But it’s not having dinner what I was planning to do with you…”

    “You silly!” – Jason giggled – “But trust me, this is one dinner you don’t want to miss. Now go, I’ll be there in no time!”

    Deimos went away and Jason literally ran to the communal showers to take a speedy shower; he still had his skin a bit moist when, wearing a fresh clean tunic, he happily scampered toward the Nuptial Chambers.

    “OK, you sit down and don’t ask questions” – Jason said excitedly entering Deimos’ room, and immediately went to the Altar. Without bending the knee, he just said: “Laudon, I need a delicious dinner for two: something tasty and mouthwatering that will delight my beloved Deimos and myself!”

    Instantly, two bowls of an unknown food appeared at Jason’s feet; the fragrance they emanated was heady and mysterious. Jason took the bowls and offered one to Deimos, sitting on the floor at his feet.

    “You… didn’t pray to Boba-Maiii…” – Deimos cautiously commented, taking the bowl.

    “I didn’t. But I said no questions. This food is the best you’ve ever tasted, and it really doesn’t matter whether it comes from Boba-Maiii or not.”

    The food was indeed the best they’d ever tasted: saucy, spicy, tasty; every bite made them moan in pleasure, and in no time the bowls were empty.

    Jason moved closer to Deimos’ legs and sensually kissed his knee: “Now… didn’t you have plans with me?”

    More sweet kisses were bestowed on the muscular leg and the inner thigh, closer and closer to Deimos’ crotch, that suddenly came alive under his loincloth. “I was planning a nice fuck” – the Dark man said, sensually – “but I want to make love to you. I want to make sweet love to you, bringing you to places that not even my Wives have ever known…”

    He stood up and picked Jason bodily, bringing him to his bed. Jason was ecstatic, looking at his handsome, powerful man taking such a tender care of him. Both Jason’s tunic and Deimos’ loincloth fell to the floor and they stood on the soft mattress, looking lovingly into each other’s eyes.

    Their lips clung like they were potent magnets, making their passion flare unbridled. Without stopping the fiery kiss, Deimos dipped two fingers into the scented oil placed on the bedstand and hurriedly searched for Jason’s secluded portal. In his moves there was a desire, a hunger that put a fire in Jason’s loins.

    “Yes… Yes, open me up…” – Jason said with urgency, parting his legs wide – “I need you… I want to feel you inside me… I can’t wait, do it now…”

    Deimos used his hand to point his long cock to Jason’s hole, and pushed it in in one slow, unstoppable thrust. Every single inch of his black sword disappeared into the guy’s tight canal, while Jason drew ragged breaths, feeling stretched to the threshold of pain, but he didn’t care.

    The powerful hips began pumping with vigor, and they were like a boulder rolling down a hill, unstoppable and untamed. At each thrust the flared helmet heavily brushed on Jason’s prostate, wringing choked moans from the guy’s lips. Jason pulled down Deimos onto his chest, craving the feeling of his body pressed against his own, but this didn’t lessen the confident potency of the pushes of the man’s hips.

    “Fuck me… Make love to me…” – Jason moaned uncontrollably, swept away by the pleasure radiating from his bottom and the sweetness of Deimos’ fuck.

    “You’re wonderful… You make me feel complete…” – Deimos breathed with passion, his eyes digging into Jason’s, but a sudden shadow veiled his gaze: “Tell me again this is not wrong… Tell me that I’m not an invo…”

    “Don’t say that word… This is love, Deimos… Love… Free, beautiful love…”

    “Yes… Yes…! That’s what I feel… Love… I love you, Jason… nnngghh… Can you feel my love?”

    “Ooohh… I feel it…!” – Jason replied, in ecstasy – “It fills my heart… I love you too, Deimos… You’re my everything…”

    Their eyes locked and both of them knew that their pleasure was about to explode; their lips searched for each other and locked in a hungry, passionate kiss, while their bodies shuddered, shaken by the force of their orgasms. There were no howls, no cries, just a silent explosion of pleasure that melted their bodies into one.

    When Deimos moved to recoil, Jason pleaded: “Stay inside me a little more…”, but Deimos ignored him and abruptly pulled out, his skin suddenly losing its warmth. He was staring with wide eyes at something behind Jason, who turned around to see, and murmured: “Fuck…”

    Standing in the doorway, the four co-husbands were silently glaring at them.

     

    ~ Wife or… else ~

    Jason looked scared at the Darks’ menacing faces; in front there was Rufus, the eldest, with young Castor and the angry Vesper right behind him; in the background, Jason caught a glimpse of Helios’ long braids, but it seemed like he was trying to hide behind the other co-husbands.

    Vesper was about to attack Jason, but Rufus froze him with a glance and stepped forward, wearing a fake smile: “Well, well…! Apparently there’s a new Wife in Eclipse! That’s very good news, because us husbands didn’t have many chances to get relief and provide our loads, lately…”

    Deimos got off the bed and confronted Rufus: “You’ve grown old, grandpa, and your mind weakens. There are no new Wives in Eclipse.”

    “There is one” – Rufus hissed, pointing his gaze at Jason, who desperately tried to hide under the bedsheets – “Not the most beautiful one, must say, but a hole is a hole, when you need to unload your virility…”

    “Stop playing games, Rufus!” – Deimos bellowed – “He’s not a Wife, he’s my helper Jason, as you know well!”

    Rufus’ expression became so hard that Deimos began losing heart; and the man’s glacial tone made Deimos’ confidence crumble like a sandcastle under a wave. “She’s a Wife” – Rufus stated – “It can’t be any other way, boy. Because, you see, if that’s not a Wife… then you’re a shameless invo.”

    The word hung in the room like a monstrous bat looming over Deimos. Invo. ‘The First Husband is a filthy invo, a pervert!’. Deimos could almost hear the shocked whispers of the Eclipsians. ‘How could I give my virginity to that disgusting invo!’, Pearl’s voice echoed in Deimos’ mind.

    “No…” – Deimos murmured, scared, shaking his head – “Don’t do this to me…”

    “You’re doing everything by yourself” – Rufus spat out – “but you still have a choice: either the bitch in your bed is Wife, who’s going to get five loads as per Boba-Maiii’s commandment, or the entire Eclipse will know you’re an invo.”

    Deimos looked at Rufus horrified, then glanced at Vesper and Castor, but they were masks of stone, just like the older Dark. Helios, the only one Deimos hoped to get support from, had disappeared and was nowhere to be seen.

    “So what, boy??” – Rufus yelled, snapping Deimos out of his nightmare – “Tell me loud and clear: is the bitch lying in your bed a Wife??”

    Jason, from the bed, looked at Deimos with wide, pleading eyes, but Deimos refused to meet his gaze. After a tense, neverending pause, he murmured under his breath: “Yes…”

    Jason was petrified, but he didn’t have the time to do or say anything, because strong hands grabbed him and forcibly dragged him out of the bed and across the room, toward the Nuptial Alcove. The ample door slammed close behind him and he was unceremoniously thrown onto the bed.

    Casper climbed on the bed and locked Jason’s arms behind his back, immobilizing him, while Rufus unlaced his embroidered skirt, revealing a thick, stiffening cock. He grabbed Jason’s legs and draped them on his shoulders, exposing the guy’s hole, which clenched from the tension.

    Without a word, Rufus spat twice on his hand and wet his mushroom head, pointing it at Jason’s defenseless anus.

    “Wait!!” – Jason screamed – “Don’t do it, Rufus! You could be my father!!”

    Rufus’ expression became thoughtful, but it lasted no more than a few seconds. “I wish” – he growled – “but I can’t have children. The bitch that gave birth to you was bred by someone else. Maybe Deimos…” – he added with an evil smirk.

    Rufus glanced at Castor, who was holding Jason tight, and nodded: “Do it.”

    Immediately, Castor pressed his hand on Jason’s mouth and pinched his nose, like once Aric did with Stellan. Rufus flashed a malevolent smirk and growled at Jason: “Now keep looking at me, boy…”

    With a sudden, cruel thrust, Rufus sank his entire weapon inside Jason’s chute; the recent love-making with Deimos and his load still lingering inside him didn’t prevent a fiery pang of pain radiating from his tortured ass. Jason felt like his anal rings had been ripped and torn open, and he screamed on top of his lungs… without being able to utter the faintest sound.

    Rufus, now fully inside the sore hole, nodded to Casper, who let Jason breathe. Rufus slowly pulled out and then glanced again at Casper, who blocked once more Jason’s airflow. The second shove, if possible, was even harder and crueler than the first. The veins on Jason’s neck bulged out, but again no sound could find its way out of the guy’s mouth.

    Jason looked at Rufus in horror: he wasn’t pursuing his own pleasure, he wasn’t just fucking: he wanted to hurt Jason as much as he could, and wouldn’t stop until the guy would’ve been wrecked.

    A quick couple breaths, and the gates of Hell opened for Jason. Rufus and Castor were perfectly coordinated, and each time Rufus’ evil rod crashed into Jason, he couldn’t utter a single sound. The pace of the wrecking thrusts ramped up, until Jason’s world was a cacophony of pain, but his priority was breathing, just breathing.

    In the dizziness due to the lack of air, Jason felt Rufus’ cock, deeply planted inside him, pulsate and throb, and mentally sighed with relief.

    In a matter of seconds, Rufus was replaced by Vesper, but this time Casper only covered Jason’s mouth, without blocking his breath. Vesper eased his cock inside Jason’s loosened hole and began fucking him, with quick long thrusts, but not as cruel as Rufus’: Vesper was seeking for his own pleasure and greedily thrust his club into the slick chute, enjoying the strong sensations Jason’s ass was granting him.

    “A wife is supposed to cum, when a stud fucks her” – Vesper said with a mischievous smirk, and grabbed Jason’s flaccid cock, stroking it in earnest. Jason groaned, feeling forced to get aroused against his will; but his youthful body quickly responded to the harsh ministrations, and his dick got hard into Vesper’s hand.

    “Now we’re talkin’…” – Vesper growled, pacing up his thrusts in sync with the frantic strokes on Jason’s cock. It didn’t take long until Jason reluctantly climbed to the peak of his pleasure, and groaned loud, shooting his cream all over his own torso. “Yeah!! Cum, bitch! Fuck YEAH!!” – Vesper exulted, unloading his balls into Jason’s depths.

    Another quick shift of place, and Jason found Castor, the youngest of the Dark, kneeling between his spread legs. His cock was as hard as steel, but thankfully he was not as thick as Rufus or Vesper, and Jason could take it in stride. He actually hoped he could even take some rest, but his hope was short-lived.

    Wearing a malevolent smirk, Castor grabbed Jason’s sensitive cock and began stroking it wildly. Jason was about to scream for the overstimulation, but Rufus placed a single finger over his lips: “You let out a single sound and you’re dead. Got it boy? Not a single sound!”

    Jason frantically nodded, and put a herculean effort into withstanding Castor’s onslaught in silence. His cock felt like it was shocked by painful electric surges, especially when Castor brushed his entire dry palm all over the sensitive glans, but he was so scared by Rufus’ threat that he sealed his lips and endured the torment in silence.

    He didn’t see it coming, when Vesper began pinching and tickling his nipples, wearing a malicious grin on his face. “Please… Please no…” – Jason murmured with a trembling voice, his entire body spasming from the cruel overstimulation – “Muffle me, Rufus… I can’t stay silent… Rufus…!”

    “Good boy…” – Rufus growled, pressing his big hand over Jason’s mouth – “Now scream, boy, scream as much as you want, ha ha ha!”

    Castor clearly was enjoying Jason’s torment very much, and soon he slammed his dick all the way into his once-tight hole and stifled a grunt, adding his load to the three already inside Jason.

    He pulled out and Jason took a deep breath. It was over.

    Except, it was not. “Your turn, Helios!” – Rufus sternly ordered – “Be a good husband and give the fifth load to the bitch!”

    Jason turned sideways and saw Helios almost hiding into the farthest corner of the Alcove. Everything in his demeanor and his expression clearly revealed that the last thing he wanted to do was to give Jason this last humiliation. He reluctantly climbed on the bed, took position between Jason’s legs… and stopped. “I can’t” – he said in a low voice – “This guy has suffered enough, I can’t do it.”

    “You must.” – was Rufus’ glacial order, and it was clear that Helios’ choice to obey or not was going to have consequences.

    Helios faintly shook his head, his eyes wet, and his hips didn’t move.

    “Do it!” – Jason whispered, looking straight into Helios’ eyes – “Quick! I understand, do it!”

    Helios took a deep breath, looked defiantly at Rufus and began stroking his own cock in earnest, quickly bringing himself to orgasm; and when he was about to shoot, he murmured “Forgive me…” and pushed his shooting cock deep inside Jason.

    The fifth load had been provided. Boba-Maiii’s commandment had been fulfilled.

    “Sissy…” – Rufus hissed, and with an imperious nod of his head gestured to the other Darks to go.

     

    ~ Tears and love ~

    Now alone, Jason painfully got off the bed and walked to Deimos’ room, but Deimos wasn’t there. The quiet lapping of the water in the bathtub felt like a siren’s song to Jason, whose feet started moving by themselves toward the bathroom.

    And there was Deimos, hiding behind the jamb of the door, his face streaked with dried tears.

    “I’ve lost you…” – he whined, shaking his head – “I’ve betrayed our friendship and our love to their very roots. I’ve bartered you with my honor, and I lost both. I can’t call myself a man anymore…”

    Tears flowed again from Deimos’ eyes and Jason pressed his own body against him. “You are a valiant warrior,” – Jason said in a warm, loving tone that touched Deimos’ heart – “you even killed a Gryx with just one knife, but this is a longer and harsher fight than killing a Gryx: it’s a fight against intolerance and ignorance. I don’t blame you if you failed, and you shouldn’t either.”

    Jason felt Deimos’ arms hold him tighter, almost crushing him, and reveled in the sense of protection that his strong body gave him.

    “Besides, I too have something to be forgiven for…” – Jason added, talking into Deimos’ chest – “I’ve betrayed our friendship and our love, too, as I had sex… with other men. Many times, and with many men.”

    Deimos held Jason at arm’s length and gave him a puzzled glance: “Do you really think I can be… jealous? Oh, Jason, it’s so sweet of you! But that’s the last thing you should worry about. I mean, I share my wives with four other men, and in my life I had many wives at the same time. I still have a wife, Pearl, and when she’s fertile again I’ll make love to her. Jealousy… it’s just a void word here in Eclipse. But tell me… Have you really forgiven me?”

    “More than that…” – Jason replied, with a tender smile – “I love you.”

    Deimos’ eyes got wet again, but Jason couldn’t see it, because their mouths locked in a passionate, liberating kiss that took their breath away.

  • Stranger vs Friend – A Cuck’s dilemma

    Chapter 1 – The Gate Opens

    The defeat was in more than just his eyes but his entire body as he collapsed next to me after trying unsuccessfully to get me hard so we could resume what had once been a very hot, active sex life.  The last 6 months were anything but.  Things had become mundane and routine and the last few months my once stellar record had gone from 100% to barely 50%.  Half the time I couldn’t even start and the other times I limped across the finish line, quite literally.  I tried to reassure Jon that it wasn’t his fault, that I was as attracted to him as I had always been but we were both older and…  I usually just let it stop there.  The truth is I was still attracted to him but the fire just wasn’t what it use to be.  Sex has always been very cerebral for me.  I always had to have a story in my head of what the encounter was.  Usually it involved Jon cheating on me in some capacity.  It started with my first boyfriend over 35 years ago. I would imagine myself as- well- basically anyone other than me- anyone other than his committed partner. Sometimes I was a stranger, sometimes I was Conner, my best friend, hitting on his best friends husband and betraying him. I’d pretend to engage in our sex, our love making as my literal best friend.  Pretending my husband was taking his cock, kissing him, cheating on me and it would give me an orgasm that would shatter me and awaken me and excite me.   But even these fantasies failed to work lately and I didn’t know what to do.  We had always been monogamous.  The last in our friend group to not open things up. I hate to admit it but we even judged our couple friends who seemed to brag about the various exploits they shared both together and apart.  They went on and on about their hook ups like it wasn’t completely damaging their relationship. I do realize the somewhat hypocritical stance considering I was literally fantasizing about doing what they had the balls to do but everyone fantasizes – My moral ground was that I was committed to my husband-  even if that meant I could no longer fuck him. 

    “Are you sure it’s not me?” Jon asked as he stared at my face looking for any indication it was.

    “Baby, please” I pleaded “You are the sexiest man I know- I guess age is catching up to me” I resigned.

    With that he got up off the bed and jumped in the shower.  I watched his beautiful hairy bubble but walk into the bathroom and wondered how in the hell I wasn’t rock hard knowing that is what I had.  I wanted to offer that we didn’t have to fuck or that I could grab one of our toys but none of that made it past my head and instead images of him looking for dick elsewhere filled my imagination.  Him in a sleazy bookstore taking a total strangers cock.  Him in a bathhouse, head down ass up taking cock after cock.  Conner stopping by to return a sweatshirt I had let him borrow- hugging Jon before he left – both hugging the other a little too long, a little too tight, Conner breaking the guy, not to leave, but separating just enough to kiss my husband.  Jon- instead of revolting at the horrendous act of betrayal returning the kiss with a passion both of them had been suppressing behind my back.  The sounds of the shower water brought me back to my bedroom and the realization that the case of the missing boner had been solved-  I was rock hard.  Then I panicked- If Jon comes out of the shower and sees me hard what will he think?  I got hard the minute he left the room.  I tried to flood my brain with imagines of my grandmother, of the fathers funeral, anything that would bring it down.  Luckily it worked and by the time Jon come out of the shower I was normal and getting dressed.  I hugged him.  Told him I loved him and tried to reassure him.  I’m not sure it worked.

    Three weeks later and zero sex.  I had tried initiating something last night thinking Jon must be going out of his mind, our normal sex life use to be a few times a week.  That came to a screeching halt after the failed miserable attempt three whole weeks ago.  Jon apologized and said he was tired from a long day.  As I was laying in bed listening to him snore I started to wonder.  Was Jon stepping out?  Was he jerking off?  My own libido had been stymied by the worry of trying to initiate something that my body wouldn’t be prepared for and finally when I overcame that I was rejected.  I was both anxiety riddled with a stubborn streak of excitement at the thought of Jon with someone else behind my back.  As quietly as I could I reached over and grabbed his phone.  To be honest I don’t even really know what I was looking for.  An app?  Crazy messages?  I started by opening his texts and I immediately regretted it.  The first text box was to Conner.  The first picture was of a beautiful, hard uncut cock.  Conner’s?? My heart was beating out of my chest.  I wasn’t sure, maybe it was a weird joke.  I had never seen Conner’s cock.  I knew he was uncut from conversations we had but … why would he be sending his cock pic to Jon?  I realized in that moment the separation between fantasy and reality felt like the size of the grand canyon.  I no longer wanted this to be true, the fantasies I had imagined were melting away faster than…I opened the text box and the picture preceding Conner’s cock pic was one I was intimately familiar with-  Jons ass pic.  He had sent it to me numerous times indicating it was going to be a sex night.  Conner had responded by sending Jon his cock pic.  I flicked up but before I could read any of their conversation Jon moved and I jumped losing the phone.  He settled back in but I would hate for him to know I was going through his phone and put it back.  The rest of the night I tossed and turned.  A ball of nerves wondering what had happened between them.  Wondering if they were being playful, joking or if they were having an affair. 

    The following morning I woke with the hardest cock in months.  I had dreams of Conner and Jon.  Dreams that gave me this almost painful boner and dreams that in reality would crush my soul.

  • The First Breeding

    I follow the older man and together we walk out of the beat toilet to a summer’s afternoon.

    “My car’s over here.” I follow him, his seed leaking into my underwear, my hole burning. In the car he winds the windows down and offers me a cigarette and 4 little yellow pills.

    “These’ll help” he says. I swallow them and we smoke.

    “You OK?”

     “I think so.” I sound more confident than I feel. I wasn’t even sure what was happening next.

    “You’re a fucking sexy boy. You know that don’t you?”

    I just shrug. I am fit and lean but I never considered that I would attractive to me.

    “I want to take you back to mine and introduce you to some some friends”

    This is the moment where I can stop the whole thing. Just say “No!”. Get out of the car and don’t look back. I have no experience of any of this. The one rushed experience will soon be forgotten and won’t count.

    I don’t say No. I just nod then add, “I have to be home by 6:30, my parents will worry otherwise”. 

    He smiles, starts the car and we drive away.

    Five minutes later we pull into the drive of a large house. Together we walk inside, ending up in the lounge. He offers me a beer. I accept because the pills I took dry. are sticking in my throat. I drink it way too quickly because I am so nervous. We sit next to each other on the couch.

    “Never done that before have you?” He massages his cock through his jeans.

    “No, I haven’t”

    “You came looking for it though, didn’t you?”

    “No” I reply. “Not really sure why I was there. Just…I don’t know…interested?”

    “You ever fucked a girl?”

    “No”

    “So, you were a complete virgin?”

    “Yes…I was. Kissed some girls though. Probably doesn’t count, does it?”

     He laughs, still massaging his cock.

    “Daddy’s cock hurt your hole, didn’t it?”

    “Yea it did”

    “You took it well though……didn’t tap out….Daddy wants to fuck you again……you want that?”

    I have no idea what the hell I want. I shrug. He smiles.

    “Fuck you are making me so horny. Daddy wants to see what a mess your hole is. Stand up and show Daddy” 

    I stand. He lifts my T shirt over my head and pull down my shorts and underwear. My 6” cock springs free. His mouth is immediately on it, taking me right down to my balls. My first ever head job. His hands run over my slim, hairless chest and ass. I think I might be about to cum but he pulls off my cock.

    “Sit down”

    I sit. He pulls my ass to the edge of the couch and pushes my legs back. I’m exposed and I feel myself leak.

    “Hold your legs back! Mmmmmm FUCK that hot!…..Looks so good with my nut leaking out of it!”. He uses a finger to scoop the dribble of cum up that came from my ass. He sucks his finger clean.

    “So fucking tasty!….Keep you legs back”

    He strips off and I see his cock for the first time. It’s much bigger than mine, cut and hard. His balls are massive and hang low. His body is athletic, strong chest and legs. Compared to me he is hairy but not overly.

    “Stay like that”

    He picks up the phone from the side table and dials, then drops to his knees, puts his mouth over my hole and sucks hard. It feels amazing but I didn’t even know this was a thing. Will I have to do the same thing? His tongue tries to push into ass. The other person answers. He stops sucking and I hear one side of the conversation.

    “Mick, you free to come over?…..I just picked up the perfect one, not a good one, PERFECT……Was a virgin….but he isn’t now…….Still tight as fuck though…yea, I’m eating his hole right now…….we have to have him back home by 6:30…I’ll leave the front door unlocked…I’ll be busy when you arrive”

    I hear laughter from the other person. I was nice to be described as perfect but perfect what. Whatever the pills were, they start to kick in. I feel a buzz, a little lightheaded, nervous, unsure, exposed.

    He has a small black bottle and is taking deep sniffs from it.

    “Ever had Poppers?” I shake my head. He grins and puts the bottle on the side table

    “I’ll give you some later, you’ll probably need it. Fuck Daddy is so horny he doesn’t know what to do to you first.”

     He spits on my exposed hole and pushes a finger in. It hurts. He pushes deep while still working his cock. His finger flexes and curl in my ass. It feels odd. He pulls out and sucks it.

    “Tasty fucking hole!” He shoves his finger back in. I cry out. He is much rougher this time.

    “Open your mouth”. I hesitate. “OPEN YOUR MOUTH!”

    He pushes the slimy finger deep into my mouth. “Suck it……FUCKING SUCK IT!! It’s warm, slimy and tastes musty.

    He pushes more fingers into my mouth. They go deep and I start to gag. He holds them there. I feel his cock rubbing against my ass crack. He starts to jerk me. He takes his fingers out of my mouth and gets up on the couch, his legs pushing mine back. He grabs his cock with one hand, my hair with the other. I open my mouth and he rams his cock in. His weight forces it deep; I gag and struggle before he pulls out.

    “Did you taste your cunt on my Daddy cock, you fucking slut!!…..Did you taste your cunt?????………..SUCK MY FUCKING BALLS!”

     I do my best to suck his hairy, sweaty nuts. He is so turned on, I wonder what the hell I have got myself into. I was dreading what I was sure was coming. I have no experience of this. Is this what always happens? He drags my face into his sweaty ass.

     “LICK IT SLUT! ……LICK DADDY’S SHIT HOLE”

    His weight presses the breath out me. I push my tongue out. It touches his ass and he moans and jerks his cock. I wriggle my tounge, feeling his puckered hole. Smelling his ass musk. He lets go off his cock and uses his hands to spread his ass. I feel it open. Taste the tang and the sweat. Mercifully he stands up and I breathe.

    “FUCK!” he roars. “You make Daddy so fucking horny!!! DON’T PUT YOUR LEGS DOWN!!” I taste his ass on my lips and tongue. He turns at sound from the front of the house. Another man, similar age walks into the room. His lust seems to settle if only for a moment or 2.

    The other man is smiling lustifully. “You like what you see Mick”

     “FUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK……..you weren’t joking.”

    He stands looking down at me and my exposed hole and rubs his cock. I see nothing but pure lust in his eyes.

    “You’ve fucked him?” he asks.

    “Just the load I gave him at the park toilets……..I want to go again, but I need a bit to work up a load……so he’s all yours.”

    Mick is already undressing. He has a slight beer belly when he removes his shirt. He removes his shorts and his huge cock flops out.

    “Oh fuck…NO!” The fear in my voice is real.

     Both men laugh. It is also cut, at least an inch longer than Daddy’s and way thicker.

     “I can’t”. I shake my head. Neither man responds

    Mick drops to his knees. Daddy applies something from a tube to my hole. Mick spits on it. I feel the head rub around my hole. Then pressure.

    “Sure you can” Mick growls. “I take it slow……..Just open up that cunt for me……better you give it to me than I take it.”. That smile.

    Daddy holds the little bottle under my nose. “SNIFF…..sniff deep” A sharp chemical smell, a warm rush. I cry out when Mick’s cock starts opening my ass. I scream when the head pops past my ring. He stays there, going no deeper. He is pulling at his nipples while Daddy holds the bottle for him to sniff.

     “Fuck his hole is so fucking tight……I can feel it spasming around my cock….open up for me bitch!….Don’t fucking run from my cock”. He holds my legs tighter and rocks his cock into me.

     “That’s it…..let me in boy……I know it hurts you but fuck it feel so good for me…….come on OPEN UP…….mmmm that’s it…….keep going…..relax…….just relax”

    It hurts. Tears roll down my cheeks. His pressure in relentless..

    “Breathe….really deep breaths….your doin’ great…..deep breaths…..let me in…..mmmmm that’s it…..that’s it…..relax!”

    So many sensations other than pain. Something happening deep in me, my hole burns but this is different. No idea what it is but Mick decides he has waited enough and plunges deep and I scream. I hear him moan, deep, guttural.

    “Good slut…just a little more…..breathe….that’s it……HOLY FUCK!”

    “You cum?” Daddy asks.

    “Nope, just got balls deep in him….Give him another hit”. The little bottle returns, the chemical hit, the prickling warmth.

     “Look at me boy….I am balls deep in your cunt….now I’m gonna breed you……you know what breeding is boy?

     I shake my head, fear grips me. His eyes burn with lust and his voice is raspy.

    “Well I am going to use your boy cunt to make my cock feel real good and when I’ve had enough I’m gonna blow my seed deep up your hole. I want it to be still in you tomorrow……You just give you hole up, OK”

    I can do nothing but nod.

    He starts. Slowly at first but it still hurts. I squeal, I feel impaled. He pumps faster and faster.

    “Yesssssss, bust him open, Mick……work that cunt!”

    Mick shifts positions, kneels on the couch. It is hard for me to breath. He is fucking me full length with his huge cock. It feels like I am about to shit myself The sensations are so confusing. I understand what he means about ‘opening up’. There is nothing I can do.

    “THAT’S IT MICK….FUCK HIM……BREED HIM MATE….BREED HIM!”.

     It happens. No idea what it is but it’s deep in my ass hole. Such a weird feeling. My cock is rock hard, but just slaps around as I get pummelled. So much has changed. Daddy stands beside Mick and squeezes the big man nipples with one hand while he is doing something to Mick’s ass with the other.

    Mick growls, his eyes never leave mine. Nothing but pure lust. A desire to destroy my hole for his pleasure..

    “Breed the bitch Mick……bust his boy cunt”. The lust from the men is overpowering.

     “TAKE IT YOU FUCKING SLUT…..GONNA BREED YOU, BOY….GONNA FUCKING BREED YOU……YEAAAAAAAAAAA”

     Mick cums. I feel it. Hot flooding deep up my ass. He continues to work my hole but slower and slower.

    “Fucking dirty slut….your boy cunt made me cum…..you’re not going anywhere boy….take all of my seed!”

    I feel his cock pulse in me. My ass stings and feels like it will never be the same. Surely it is over. He pulls his cock out. It feels like my ass is getting dragged out with it. I squeal. I want to put my legs down.

     “No boy…..you’re gonna take Daddy’s seed now…Mick opened your boy cunt up….so Daddy doesn’t have to be gentle…..Daddy’s gonna bred you properly this time”

    He kneels on the couch and fucks into me. Balls deep in one thrust. My ass burns and throbs. I scream. He begins pounding me just as hard as Mick did. There is no respite.

    “Mick, you flooded his cunt…..holy fuck mate….how much cum did you have?”

     Mick laughs. He is stroking his cock next to us as Daddy pounds me. I want it to be over. It goes on and on. My ass makes obscene sounds as Daddy pistons into it. It is totally about their pleasure and none about mine. I feel it again. A warm burst deep in my ass hole.

     “Daddy’s fucking bred you boy…..bred you so good….2 loads of seed deep in your cunt…..we fucking own you now boy”. Just like Mick, Daddy uses my ass to work his seed out.

     Please let it be over. I try to put my legs down.

    “Keep them up boy” Mick commands. Daddy pulls from hole and jerks the last of his cum over my cock. Mick reaches across and sucks Daddy’s greasy cock.

     Surely, it’s over now. It isn’t. Mick grabs my cock and jerks it while Daddy rubs his cock head around my hole. It happens quickly. My first cum shot into a man’s mouths. Mick swallows and sucks. My cock is sensitive and I squeal.

    They both kneel in front of me. Hands still working their cocks, faces close to my hole.

     “Push your cunt out boy”. I am honestly scared of what might happen.So nervous but I do. I fart a bubble of cum.

    Like ravenous Lions that launch for it…..“MMMMMMMMM FUCK YEA”

    “Fucking tasty boy……Pulse your cunt for us… push it out…..mmmm”

    More cum oozes out. Mick place his mouth over my hole and sucks hard. Such a weird sensation, I squeal. He uses his hands to spread my ass and feeds on it, sucks my balls and soft slimy cock. I am stunned.

    As quickly as it arose the lust from a moment ago has subsided.

    Gradually he lets my legs down. I am so cramped. I am breathless, I tremble, I hurt. Mick helps me sit up next to him on the couch and Daddy joins on the other side. Both are playing with their soft cocks. I am offer the black bottle again. I decline. I am offered a cigarette. I accept.

    “What’s you name?” Daddy asks.

    “Peter”

    “You did well Peter.” Mick says, still playing with his greasy, oozing cock. “Your cunt is going to be sore for a few days but fuck you had me so turned on I couldn’t go easy. You’ll get used to it”

    I just nod. I can’t talk because I really can’t think.

    Daddy stands, pulls his wallet from his jeans on the floor. He holds up five $20 bills. “You want this?” he asks

    I nod.

    “Say it”

    “Please can I have the money”

    “Please can I have the money.. .who?”

    “Please can I have the money…Daddy”

     He smiles.

    “Daddys gonna give you the money but we want you to come back next weekend?” He is stroking his cock right in front of my face. I can smell my ass and his cum.

     “We have 2 other friends I want you to meet. If you help them like you helped Mick and I, I’m sure they’ll be just as generous.”

    “Yes Daddy”

    “Now you just have one last thing to do for Mick and I and you get the money and I’ll take you home”

    Mick laughs and stands up. I stubbed out the cigarette. Daddy pulls me off the couch and onto my knees. They stand in front of me.

    “Hold our cocks slut.” I grip the hot greasy shafts.

    “Open your mouth and keep it open”

     Both cock heads rest on my lips when the hot piss streams start. Not hard streams, more controlled releases.

    “Swallow…..fucking swallow….keep your mouth open….don’t spill a drop!”

    Their piss is hot, stinky, salty. It burns my throat and I can feel my stomach churn. The streams stop.

    “Now clean the heads of our cocks!” I suck the last remaining piss droplets. The lust in Mick’s eyes quickly rising. I am handed the money and a blank card.

    “Write down your address and telephone number. I will contact you about next weekend”

    We both dress and I leave with Daddy. In the car he hands me 2 gay porn magazines.

    “Make sure you keep them hidden, OK. Bit of education for you.”

    He stops at the end of our street. I am getting out of the car.

    “Peter…..this afternoon is just between us”

    “Yes Daddy”

    ” And Peter…..you’ll get treated hard but well compensated”

    I nod.. “Yes Daddy)

  • Straight to the Morning

    1. The Unexpected Reunion

    Some things find their perfect form early, and just decide to keep it.

    Gus Cooper Auto Repair is one of those things. It was the neighborhood fixture where families brought their cars for gas and TLC since before I was born. It’s been seventeen years since I graduated and got out of dodge, and it looks unchanged.

    It’s almost the only thing that hasn’t changed. The boxy, grey slate of new million-dollar townhomes looms on either side, sandwiching the lot, but Gus Cooper’s neon sign is still unable to make up its mind. The two busted letters flicker on and off: REPAIR PAIR REPAIR.

    A bell chimes as I open the door into the dingy front office. Harsh fluorescents buzz overhead, yellowing the linoleum floor. The cash register looks like it must be original to the place. The little gum display too—not just the display, but the gum itself. And the empty “need a penny take a penny” tray. Do people even use pennies anymore?

    I’d half expected to see the founder, Gus Cooper himself. But he looked older, worn, when I was a kid. He must be retired now. 

    Instead, it’s a younger man entering from the garage in the rear, wiping his hands on a red shop rag. But I’d know that hair anywhere. One of the four Cooper brothers, all with the same burnished red hair, so distinctive they could have trademarked it: Cooper Red.

    He bunches the rag up and shoves it into his back pocket. As he steps into the harsh light of the office, I see it’s Dino. The youngest—the one who was in my class. 

    The top of his mechanic’s jumpsuit is unzipped, sleeves tied low around his waist. Up top he’s wearing a threadbare tee, snug on him—maybe something old he hasn’t quite realized he’s outgrown yet. It hugs his shoulders and chest.

    He’s filled out—broader, thicker than I remember. He looks solid, with a slight, firm belly—a hint of a sturdy dad bod.

    “It just wouldn’t start,” I say as he jots notes with a tiny pencil on a triplicate form on a clipboard—as if there’s been no new technology in the last century. “I tried again, and then again. Third time, the dash lit up like a Christmas tree. So I just drove it in. I live a few blocks away.”

    I glance at the silent Audi out front, then back at the flip-chart clipboard, unsure if this Luddite setup can handle modern problems. “Is that… something you can check out?”

    “Probably just gremlins,” he says, adding a last note in tiny, crabbed print. He looks up and his eyes catch on my face. He squints. “Do I know you?”

    “I live in the neighborhood.” A non-answer. 

    I can see the gears working. “Nah.” He taps the pencil on the clipboard as a grin spreads on his face. “I know you from high school. The debate guy.”

    I put my hands up in mock surrender. “Avery.”

    His head bobs, the itch of memory scratched. “Avery. That’s it. You haven’t been around, have you?”

    “I live in California. Just here… temporary.”

    I notice a baseball bat hanging on the wall behind Dino. Eager to change topics, I nod to it. “That for security?”

    He looks bewildered, glances over his shoulder. “That? Nah, that’s a tire thumper.”

    He says it as if I’d know what that is. I raise my eyebrows to signal my ignorance.

    “For checking tire pressure on semis.” He mimics swinging the bat, his biceps flexing against the cut of the short sleeves. “You can hear from the sound if they’re underinflated.” He grins. “I can tell a hundred, ninety-five, ninety psi.”

    That’s when I see what’s different, other than the heavier build that suits him—the gap is gone. Dino had his front teeth fixed. He’s more handsome now, his jaw has a cleaner set to it.

    “We were in Miss Macali’s English class,” he says, recall bubbling up. “You had a mouth on you.”

    I give my best silent, tight smile. I wait.

    “So. Yeah,” Dino says, taking the clue. “We’ll check it out. Give you a call when it’s ready. Might be the battery. Probably done Tuesday by noon.”

    He holds the clipboard and pencil out for me. I catch the edge but don’t take it. “Tuesday? Today’s Friday.”

    “You need it right away?”

    “No—I—I work from home, but—it takes that long just to check it out?”

    Dino stiffens, slightly. “We’re full up today, closed on weekends. Monday’s a holiday.” A beat. “My mechanics need days off.”

    It’s a soft jab, but it lands. I suddenly see myself reflected in his eyes. My expensive glasses and watch. A nice car I don’t even understand. Expecting men who actually know things—who get their hands dirty—to work on holidays.

    “Sorry,” I say, and I mean it. “My days are—all kind of the same. I didn’t realize it was a holiday weekend.” I look down at the form, Dino’s tiny print. “I’m sorry I didn’t think of it.”

    We’re silent for a moment, the triplicate form between us. Then I feel his grip loosen, surrendering it.

    “S’okay.”

    I fill in my contact form under his gaze, look up and hand the clipboard back.

    His eyes never leave me as he tears off the yellow copy of the form and hands it out between two fingers. There are little dark crescents under the blunt nails.

    “Thanks,” I say, sliding the form out, hearing it rasp against his skin. 

    I turn to leave but hear Dino. “Avery? Forgetting something?”

    I turn, unsure.

    “Keys.”

    “Oh. Duh,” I say, taking the fob from its ring and holding it out in my palm. He doesn’t just take it. He cups his hand under mine, calloused and warm, turning it into a handshake as the key falls into his grasp.

    “Probably gremlins,” he adds as I turn to leave.

    The bell rings behind me and I step out into the morning warmth, feeling like I passed a test. Just barely.

    I make it as far as the sidewalk before I realize my left hand is still clenched on the tiny, yellow pencil. The wood is chewed at the end, the graphite tip dull.

    Shit. I stole his pencil.

    I stop, looking back toward the shop. I could go back. Instead, I slide the pencil into my pocket, resting against the glass of my iPhone.

    There’s only one witness to the petty theft: the sign overhead, making another lazy turn. REPAIR PAIR REPAIR.


    2. Quality Assurance

    For the foreseeable future, my office is the dining room table in my parents’ small craftsman house on Phinney Ridge.

    It’s a practical arrangement in a practical house. My parents moved to Olympia two years ago to stretch their retirement savings, but they kept the Seattle property as a rental, or a “landing pad” for me. They’re the type of people who plan for earthquakes, market crashes, and their son’s relationship implosion. I am currently living out the third contingency.

    My massive, curved 4K monitor hums in the center of the dinner table, looking distinctly out of place against the dark-finished wainscoting.

    On the screen, the cursor blinks at the end of a sentence: Risk mitigation strategies for the Multi-City LGBT Senior Housing Partnership must account for fluctuating interest rates in secondary markets…

    I stare at the words until they blur into gray static.

    My hand drifts from the keyboard to the object resting beside my mouse: a little yellow pencil, property of Gus Cooper Repair.

    I pick it up, rolling the ridges between my thumb and forefinger. I hold it up to my nose, hoping for a trace of Dino’s scent. I think about the way his biceps flexed when he mimed swinging that bat.

    I can tell a hundred, ninety-five…

    The dining chair creaks as I slide forward in it, my hand sliding down the front of my sweatpants. It’s Friday night. The risk assessment can wait.

    I grab the bottle of lotion I keep in the drawer for dry hands—or for this—and squeeze a cool dollop onto my palm.

    I’m full-on hard, surprisingly fast, stroking myself, hearing the ticking of the grandfather clock in the hall. The image of Dino’s grin and the way his tee hugged his torso flashes behind my closed eyelids. My hand moves faster, clearing the static from my head.

    Bam. Bam. Bam.

    I jolt at the knock on the front door. My knee hits the underside of the table with a painful thud.

    “Shit,” I hiss.

    Who the hell is knocking at 8 PM?

    I look down. I’m a mess—fully hard and slick with lotion. I want to ignore the door, but if it’s a delivery from a client who—

    Bam. Bam.

    “Coming!” I yell, my voice cracking slightly.

    I wince as I shove my lotioned cock back into my briefs. The friction against the fabric is agonizingly good and terrible at the same time.

    I look for a tissue, a towel—anything to wipe my hand on. 

    I yank my t-shirt over my head, blot the excess lotion from my hand, wad the shirt and rise up, clutching it in my right hand to hide the evidence.

    When the heavy door swings open, I’m shirtless and shivering slightly in the cool air, trying to ignore the throbbing in my pants.

    It’s Dino.

    He’s rocking up and down on the balls of his feet on the welcome mat, buzzing with a restless sort of energy. The jumpsuit is gone, replaced by dark jeans and a flannel shirt rolled to the elbows.

    “Dino?” I blink, trying to imagine what could bring a mechanic to my porch after hours. I have visions of my Audi in a fireball. “Is the car okay?”

    “What?” He stops bouncing, looking confused. “Oh, it’s fine. I got curious. Hooked it up to the diagnostics after we closed up. It was just a loose sensor connection. Computer thought the sky was falling.”

    “So… it’s fixed?” I ask, gripping the t-shirt tighter in my fist.

    “Running like a top. Figured I’d drop it off. Save you the weekend waiting.”

    He flicks his wrist and the key arcs up through the porch light.

    I nearly drop the wadded shirt, fumbling to catch the fob—barely trapping it against my sternum with my left hand.

    It’s an embarrassing, uncoordinated moment. But Dino grins, enjoying the scramble.

    If it were anyone else, I would push back on the car being such a simple fix—ask if he was sure. But this is Gus Cooper’s son. His ancestors probably fixed the pioneer wagons on the Oregon Trail. Going back further, there was probably a red-headed Cooper caveman who fixed the very first wheel.

    “That’s—incredible. Thank you.” I instinctively move to pat my back pocket for my wallet, but realize two things: I’m in sweatpants, and my right hand is currently compromised. I freeze.

    “Hold on, I—I don’t have my wallet on me. How much for the—”

    Dino holds up a hand, stopping me. “Don’t worry about it.”

    I blink, feeling the unfamiliar weight of an unpaid debt. “You went way overboard. I have to pay you something.”

    “Eh, sometimes you do things to help an old friend,” Dino says. 

    An old friend. The words hang in the evening air between us. Is that what we are?

    “Unless,” he adds, “you wanna get a burger? Shoot the breeze? We could test your car. Just to be sure.”

    He looks past me, into the hallway, then back to me, taking in my bare chest. His eyes dip to the wadded-up t-shirt in my hand, then lower, to the waistband of my sweats where things are… barely contained. 

    “If you’re not busy,” he adds. 

    I realize I smell like lotion. 

    “Laundry night,” I mumble out, feeling the heat rush up my neck.

    Over his shoulder I can see my car parked on the street. Then I look at Dino, waiting. Under the warm glow of the porch light, that hair—Cooper Red—looks like a beacon.

    “Let me wash my hands,” I say. “And put on a shirt.”

    As he relaxes, I add, “You drive,” and toss the keys, hoping to catch him off guard.

    He snatches them out of the air with his left hand, not even looking, his eyes still fixed on me with a smirk.

    “Take your time,” he says.


    3. Thought Partners

    Dick’s Drive-In has been an orange neon lit institution for my whole life. No seating, no special orders. The lot is packed with families with little kids in cars, and teenagers milling around the outdoor counters.

    We eat in the car, the windows rolled down just an inch to let the steam escape. It’s not high-end dining—Dick’s burgers are small, steamed, and slide down your throat without much resistance—but the smell of onions, mustard, and nostalgia fills the cabin.

    It almost masks the faint, oaty scent of the lotion in my briefs. 

    Dino reaches for the dashboard, bypassing my presets as if they’re unlucky accidents, flipping through stations until the bass thumps against the floorboards. Bruce Springsteen’s Dancing in the Dark floods the car.

    “Classic,” he mutters, unwrapping his cheeseburger with surgical precision.

    I take a bite of mine, savoring the familiar, soggy squish of the bun. I look at Dino—flannel shirt, bobbing his head to the Boss, devouring a burger. His nails are scrubbed clean—no little crescents of car grease.

    “Eating carbs,” I say, licking my lips. “Listening to Springsteen—might be the straightest thing I’ve ever done.”

    Dino stops chewing. He looks at me, surprised, and then a deep, raspy laugh busts out of him. He grins, taking a long, loud drag from his chocolate shake.

    “Glad I could help you broaden your horizons, Avery.”

    I shift in the seat, feeling my briefs slide against my slicked skin—a sticky, secret reminder of what I was doing twenty minutes ago.

    “So. You inherited the business?”

    “Pop retired three years ago. Arizona. None of my brothers were dumb enough to take it.” He dips a fry into his shake—a chaotic choice—and eats it. “Competition’s fierce. Not like the old days. The big chains can shave off a fraction of a cent on a gallon of gas easy. How am I supposed to compete with that? That’s my whole profit margin some days.”

    “But everyone loves your place. It’s a tradition.”

    “The big chains call me once a week,” he says. “They want to buy the station. Slap a corporate logo on the sign, automate the pumps, turn the garage into a glorified convenience store.”

    “You’d sell?” I freeze, mid-bite.

    “Maybe,” he says, unwrapping his second burger. “Go sit on a beach in Mexico for a few years.”

    The thought of Dino in board shorts under the Mexican sun has a certain appeal. My cock gives a heavy twitch, sliding in my briefs in the residual lotion, sensitized and aching.

    He turns back to me. “What do you call it again? Your fancy job?”

    “I’m a consultant,” I say, downplaying it instinctively. “I mostly work with non-profits—the kind with endowments that can afford my rates. I like doing good, but I like being paid for it. Mostly on strategy and…” I wait a beat, as if confessing. “’Thought partnership,’ they call it.”

    “Thought partnership,” Dino repeats, testing the words like they might taste bad. “Like Mr. Spock?”

    He puts three of his fingers against my temple and furrows his brow with mock concentration.

    “That’s the mind meld,” I say, batting away his hand, shaking my head, but a little thrilled at the touch.

    “So you charge a lot of money to tell people what they already know,” he teases, then taking a big bite.

    “Sometimes,” I admit. “But mostly… mostly I just listen.”

    Dino raises an eyebrow.

    “It sounds cliché,” I say, “but CEOs can be… lonely. They can’t vent to their board of directors because the board will think they’re weak and uncertain. And they can’t vent to the people who report to them because they have to inspire confidence.”

    I crumple my burger wrapper. “They have all this pressure and nowhere to put it. So I come in. I’m the one person in the room with no agenda. Help them think through the problems. I’m the confidante.”

    I look back at Dino. “Everyone wants someone they can be themselves with. Even the guys in the corner offices.”

    Dino goes quiet. He looks down at his shake, swirling the straw slowly. 

    “Yeah,” he says softly. “I get that.”

    He looks up, his gaze dropping to my mouth. Without a word, he reaches out. His thumb brushes the corner of my lip, rough and warm, wiping away a smear of mustard I hadn’t felt.

    The air in the car suddenly feels very thin.

    “You missed a spot,” he says.

    I stare at him. “I’ve been wiping my own mouth since I was… twenty, at least.”

    Dino chuckles, wiping his thumb on a napkin, the intensity breaking. “Sorry. Dad reflexes.”

    The word lands in the center console between us.

    “Dad?” I arch an eyebrow, looking at him sideways. “You have kids?”

    He nods, taking a sip of his shake. “Two.”

    I can’t help myself. The image is too vivid, too funny not to share. “Mini Coopers? Orangey-red paint jobs? Gap-toothed grilles?”

    Dino laughs, a sharp bark of sound, but then his hand goes up to his mouth for a split second—a reflex, covering the smile he paid to fix.

    “Something like that,” he says, chewing the last of his second burger. “But smarter than me.”

    He clears his throat, shifting gears—literally and figuratively. He puts the car in drive. “Come on.”

    Instead of heading home, he drives us past the landmarks as if I’m a tourist in my own city. We cruise past the Fremont Troll, lurking under the bridge. We wind along the Ballard Locks, where the salmon swim up fish ladders on their way to spawn, and then Golden Gardens, where the moonlight chops against the black waves of the Sound.

    He drives with one hand on the wheel, relaxed, humming along to the classic rock station. His thick forearms are bare, and I look up to see the streetlights catching his ruddy cheeks, the curve of his jaw.

    It’s nearly 2:00 AM when he pulls up to the curb in front of my parents’ house. The porch light is still on, a warm yellow square in the darkness.

    When he kills the engine, the silence is sudden and weighted.

    “Passed the test,” he says, patting the dashboard. “Sensor held. No gremlins.”

    “Yeah,” I say. “Thanks for… everything. The fix. The burger. The tour.”

    “Quality assurance,” he reminds me.

    He hands me the key. His fingers brush mine again.

    “Well,” he says, opening his door. “I’m out.”

    I step out onto the curb, watching him ball up his fists into his pockets. It’s chilly. We both know his place is only two blocks away, so there’s no awkward offer of a ride.

    “See you around, Avery,” he says. Not goodbye. Just see you around.

    “Yeah. See you.”

    I watch him walk away down the street, hands in his pockets, his stride long and easy. He passes under a streetlamp, and for a second, his hair catches the light—Cooper Red, glowing against the gray mist—before he disappears into the dark.


    4. Succession Planning

    Saturday starts with Freddie Mercury.

    When I slide into the driver’s seat of my car and press the ignition, I expect the eclectic sounds of KEXP, the independent station I favor—a little buildup for my workout. Instead, I’m jolted by the booming, rock opera of Queen’s I Want to Break Free.

    It’s still set on the station Dino tuned to last night: 102.5 KZOK. Classic Rock.

    I reflexively move to change the setting—but I stop, leaving it where it is. I drive with the windows up and the bass thumping.

    The early morning gym is full of people already trying to outrun their weekends. I hit sink into the rhythm of a leg day. In the mirror, I glance at my own form—long limbs, the lean build I’ve maintained since college. I’m vertical—defined and architectural—unlike the dense mass of the man who sat in my car last night.

    Between sets on the squat rack, I catch eyes with a guy near the dumbbells. He’s conventionally handsome, my age. Wearing a sleeveless tee that shows off a lot of expensive maintenance. He gives a small, inviting nod. I nod back.

    In San Francisco—or even last week—I would have lingered by the water fountain, made conversation, maybe turned a Saturday workout into a Saturday night.

    The image of a flannel shirt and rough hands leaves the chiseled gym guy seeming lifeless in comparison. I finish my set and leave without looking back.

    By 2:00 PM, I’m back in the bunker. My long legs are cramped under the dining room table as I scan a rendering on my laptop. When my phone buzzes on the oak surface, the name Steven flashes on the screen.

    I swipe to answer, putting it on speaker. “Tell me you’re not spiraling.”

    “I’m not spiraling,” Steven says, his voice tight with the specific coil of a man who is absolutely spiraling. “I’m just… concerned. The San Diego partners are getting cold feet about the zoning timeline. If they pull out, the matching grant from the foundation evaporates.”

    “They won’t pull out,” I say, leaning back in the creaky chair. I let my own voice drop to a deeper register, slowing things down, inviting him to meet me there. “They’ve already sunk fifty grand into the feasibility study. They’re just posturing to get us to cover the permit expediting costs.”

    “You think?”

    I can hear his tone softening, dropping to get nearer to mine. I go a little deeper, drawing him down lower still.

    “Isn’t it the same play they ran in Sacramento? What if we offer to cover fifty percent of the expediting fees? It’ll cost the project five grand, but it saves a lot more.”

    I hear the long, heavy exhale on the other end of the line. The sound of a man stepping back from the ledge.

    “God,” Steven breathes. “You have this way of making everything seem like it’s going to be okay.”

    “That’s because it is going to be okay, Steven. It’s just permits.”

    “Right. Permits.” He sounds relieved, the panic replaced by the practical.

    There is a pause, heavy with unsaid things.

    “How’s Rudy?” I ask, sensing the panic ease.

    “He’s… having a good day. The nausea is down. He’s actually sitting up in the sunroom right now, critiquing the gardener’s pruning technique through the window.”

    “That sounds like a good sign.”

    “Yeah.” Static crackles on the line. “Listen, Avery. I was talking to the Board Chair yesterday. We need to stop pretending this arrangement is temporary.”

    “Steven, we talked about this. I’m happy to keep consulting on the—”

    “I don’t want a consultant,” he cuts in. “I want a successor.”

    I freeze. “What?”

    “Rudy’s treatment… it’s going to be a long road. And even if it goes perfectly, I’m tired, Avery. I don’t want to be the guy putting out fires at midnight forever. I want to be the guy sitting in the sunroom with my husband.”

    “Steven…”

    “I need a Deputy Director now, but in two years? Maybe less? I want it to be you in the big chair. If you put in some time, show the Board you’re committed, you’d be a shoo-in.”

    It’s the golden ticket. A massive title, a legacy, a return to the life I spent seventeen years building. Being hand-picked to lead one of the most influential foundations on the West Coast.

    I look around the dining room. The dark wainscotting, the silence of my parents’ empty house. 

    I came back to sort myself out. I don’t know what I need to do, but I know I haven’t done it yet.

    “I can’t move back right now,” I say. “Unfinished business here.”

    “Is there someone?” Steven asks. “In Seattle?”

    I look at the yellow pencil resting next to my laptop.

    “Good lord, no,” I say, a little too quickly. “That is the last thing I need. Look—let’s get San Diego locked down first. Then we can talk about org charts.”

    Steven sighs, resigned but not defeated. “Fine. But I’m not hiring anyone else until you give me a hard no. The seat is yours to lose.”

    The rest of the day is a gray blur of drafting reports until night falls early, the dark settling over Phinney Ridge like a blanket.

    I heat up leftovers—a rotation of perfectly portioned Tupperware containers, macro-balanced and utterly efficient—and peruse the porn on my external drive, looking for a particular red-headed performer.

    At 8:30 PM, the knock comes.

    It’s softer than last night. I don’t scramble this time. I’m dressed—jeans and a sweater that hangs loose on my frame. I know even before opening the door.

    It’s Dino.

    He’s wearing a canvas work jacket, unzipped over a white t-shirt. He’s bouncing again, his eyes bright in the porch light.

    “Hey,” I say.

    “Hey,” Dino answers, leaning against the doorway, keys in his hand. 

    Parked at the curb is a black Chevy Tahoe. It’s a few years old—the kind of heavy, boxy rig that takes up a lane and a half. A dad vehicle.

    He grins, and for a second, he looks exactly like the boy who used to sit three rows behind me in English class.

    “You want to see something beautiful?”


    5. The Black Sun

    “Come on,” he says twenty minutes later, as we leave the Tahoe.

    The Art Deco façade of the Asian Art Museum casts long shadows in the moonlight, and a little further on is a massive, dark O.

    The Black Sun—or, as locals call it, the donut— frames a view of the Seattle cityscape through a monumental 12-ton ring of smooth, black granite. It’s one of the city’s most trafficked stops, a hub for selfies, kids sitting in the ring, couples kissing.

    But that’s during the day. This is night, and it’s something different.

    Through the circular carved hole, the Space Needle glows in the distance, centered in the aperture like a bullseye. Beyond it, the grid of the city sprawls out, a carpet of glittering lights in the black velvet backdrop.

    “Wow,” I breathe.

    “Yeah,” Dino says.

    He raises his arms and hoists himself up onto the pedestal base. It’s casual, unconscious athleticism. I imagine the muscles in his triceps and back bunching up under the canvas jacket, the easy leverage of his hips as he draws up a knee and settles onto the curved stone.

    He looks down at me, offering a hand. 

    I ignore the hand—a point of pride—and vault up beside him—lighter, more fluid. A different grade of athleticism than Dino’s mechanical power. Settling cross-legged, the cold granite seeps through the rear of my jeans.

    “You come here often?” I ask.

    “A lot,” he admits. He rests his back against the sculpture, drawing his knees up. “Since the divorce… I don’t know. The house gets too quiet.”

    He looks out at the city lights. “I drive around the city. Nowhere in particular. Weekends especially. Sometimes I just keep moving until the sun comes up. Straight to the morning.”

    On the path below us a couple walks by, hand-in-hand. The laughter drifts up. They don’t see us perched up here in the shadows—they just lean into each other, existing in their own private orbit.

    “I never learned how to be alone,” Dino says, his voice low. “I went from my parents’ house with my brothers, to moving in with my ex-wife.”

    “You miss being married?”

    “I never really decided anything. It all just… happened. The marriage. The house. The kids. The divorce. I woke up one day and I was thirty-five and I realized I’d never spent a Friday night by myself.”

    His eyes fall on another couple strolling past, a dog trotting between them. “Now I have nothing but Friday nights.”

    “I remember you guys in school,” I say. “The Cooper Brothers. Red hair. Dominated every sport.” I glance at his profile. “Must have been a loud house.”

    “Every day was like the 4th of July,” Dino chuckles, lightly, his thick fingers exploding in mock fireworks.

    I pull my knees up, wrapping my arms around them. “I have an MBA.”

    Dino looks at me, confused.

    “Masters in Being Alone,” I say, allowing myself a wry smile.

    Dino snorts. A puff of white breath escaping into the air.

    “I started early,” I continue. “Only child of introverted parents. Gay kid in school. You learn to live in your own head. By the time I got recruited for the consulting firm, I was a pro.”

    I rest my palms on the smooth cool of the granite under us. “The other guys hired with me started coupling up after a few years, buying condos—wanting to travel less. But I loved it. The anonymity of a hotel room. Cutting through airports like a razor. The dinner for one at the bar. I think the travel was the only reason it lasted so long—my ex and me.”

    “You were together while you were on the road?”

    “For five years. But I was gone three weeks out of four. In retrospect, the distance was the glue. It’s easy to get along when you’re FaceTiming from a W Hotel in Chicago. It’s harder when you’re sharing a bathroom on a Tuesday.”

    Dino is quiet for a long moment. “So how did it end?”

    “‘Little by little,’ I say, quoting a man who could express the nature of loss better than I ever could. “‘And then all at once.’”

    He shifts on the stone, the fabric over his knee against mine.

    “When I had a good enough network to start my own consulting practice. More risk, less money—but I could pick and choose who to work with. I could settle down, enjoy the fruits of my labor, so to speak. I had a nice car and a good watch from when I made more money. We had the apartment, the routine. But one day, we were out to lunch. Nice place, white tablecloths. And I looked over at the bar.”

    I can still see it. The polished mahogany, the mid-day light hitting the marble top.

    “There were three people sitting there. Singles. Eating lunch alone, reading books, scrolling on their phones. And I felt this… pang. This absolute ache. I didn’t want the table for two. I wanted to be them. I wanted to be the stranger again.”

    He waits.

    “That’s how I knew it was over.”

    I let out a little, involuntary murmur. Once I said it out loud, it wasn’t slow. It was a cool division of assets. A lease broken. A long drive. I came back here to the landing pad to lick my wounds.

    Dino turns to look at me. The moonlight washes out the red in his hair, turning it to a dark copper. He looks incredibly handsome.

    “Little by little,” he repeats softly. “Yeah. I guess that’s how it goes.”

    He doesn’t move to leave. He just sits there, his shoulder pressing warmly against mine, looking out at the city, sitting against the ring of black stone. Below us, the couples keep wandering by, oblivious to the two ghosts haunting the view above them.


    6. Armor

    “Ready to come down?” Dino asks.

    He hops off the pedestal first, his boots hitting the grass with a heavy thud. He turns and offers me a hand again. This time, I take it. His grip is warm, and steadying as I slide down from the granite, my sneakers nearly silent against the damp earth.

    We join the slim stream of others drifting onto the paved path into the park.

    We pass a couple sitting on a bench, wrapped in a single oversized coat, murmuring things we can’t hear but can easily guess. Further down, two college kids are sharing a vape, giggling as the smoke curls into the mist.

    “Look at them,” I say, my voice dropping to that cool, detached register I use in boardrooms when I report on plans gone awry. “They think they’ve invented it. The romance. The spark.”

    Dino glances at them, then at me. “They look happy.”

    “For now,” I say. “But before it’s over, they’ll wish they’d never met.”

    Dino looks at me, his eyebrows furrowed. “Ouch.”

    I blink, realizing how bitter that sounded. “Sorry. I just… I know the statistics.”

    “There it is,” Dino says, a half-smile tugging at his lips. “There’s that mouth.”

    I bristle a little. “What?”

    “In the shop. The first day you came in. I told you—you always had a mean mouth on you. Even back then.”

    “A mean mouth?” I let some of my indignation seep out. “I think you’re forgetting I was the skinny, out gay kid. I was trying to get by.” I can’t resist adding the last part. “I didn’t have three brothers to back me up.”

    Dino’s expression softens. “Yeah.”

    “I didn’t think you even knew I was alive,” I say, looking at him. “We never said more than twelve words to each other in four years.”

    “Are you kidding?” Dino laughs softly. “You were the Debate Kid. City-wide champion two years running. You were always in the announcements.”

    “Yeah, well,” I mutter, looking away. “That was an accident.”

    “Winning a city championship is an accident?”

    “I just joined because the club met during gym class,” I admit. “I just wanted to get out of gym. It turned out I was good at arguing. If you do it in the locker room, you get a black eye, but if you do it at a podium you get an award.”

    Dino nods slowly. “Armor.”

    “Armor? I guess.”

    Dino looks me over. “Looks like you outgrew your gym allergy.”

    He taps the side of my bicep with a knuckle—a casual touch.

    “That’s different,” I say, waving a hand dismissively. “That’s gay gym.”

    I glance at his broad shoulders, the thickness of his neck. Think about the size of his biceps straining against the sleeves of his tee. “But you. You look in shape.”

    “Mmm. I lift a little. You gotta do something, right? Use it or lose it.”

    We walk on, the gravel crunching under our feet.

    “Sometimes… man, you were brutal.” He snorts. “You remember Kyle Miller?”

    “I remember him.”

    “Captain of the wrestling team,” Dino says. “Student vote to speak at graduation.”

    “I definitely remember him.”

    “He was practicing that speech in rehearsal in the gym,” Dino says, shaking his head. “He was going on and on about how these were the best days of our lives, but the future was even brighter.”

    I brace myself.

    “And you whispered,” Dino continues, a spark of amusement in his eyes, “loud enough for him to hear—‘Don’t get used to the feeling, Kyle. You just peaked. It’s all downhill from here, straight to middle management.’”

    I groan. “I forgot about that.” Sort of.

    “I didn’t,” Dino says, chuckling. “I was drinking Gatorade. It came out my nose. I thought the principal was going to kill us both.”

    “Kyle Miller shoved me into a radiator freshman year. He’s the reason I ate lunch in the art room for three semesters,” I say. “And he had terrible grammar.”

    “Well,” Dino says, looking at me sideways. “Kyle manages a rental car branch in Tacoma now. He’s divorced again. So you weren’t wrong.”

    I might have laughed, once. But now, with Dino looking on, it just feels embarrassing. “Not like I haven’t made my own mess of things.”

    We walk in silence for a moment, the tension of the cynical comment dissolving into the shared history. It feels surprisingly good to be seen—not just as the successful consultant or the lonely divorcee, but as the kid who fought back the only way he knew how.

    The path curves ahead, leading back toward the parking lot and the streetlights.

    “You know,” he says quietly. “My armor was different. I just got quiet. I figured if I didn’t say anything, just did whatever my brothers did, nobody would notice I didn’t know who I was.”

    He stops. He looks toward the light, then looks back at me. He seems to be weighing something—another risk, another calculation.

    He doesn’t brush my lip this time. He doesn’t clap my shoulder. He laces his fingers through mine—a deliberate, undeniable action. Not a dad reflex. Not a mistake.

    “Come on,” Dino says.

    I look down at our joined hands—my long smooth fingers against his work-worn ones as he tugs me gently—not toward the truck, but away from the streetlights, away from the path, and deeper into the dark of the park.


    7. Restricted Access

    There’s a sign wired to the mesh—AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY—but the gate is hanging open on one hinge, a metal mouth yawning at the dark.

    “That’s restricted,” I whisper. But when Dino’s grin tugs through the dark, I can’t help the smile.

    He pulls me through the gap. The ground is uneven, cracked asphalt overtaken by blackberry brambles and wet ferns. It feels illicit, stepping out of the manicured park and into something wilder.

    “Hold on, hold on,” I say, pulling his hand until he stops. 

    “It’s okay,” he says, squeezing my hand. “I know where I’m going.”

    It’s dark here, the moon filtered through the heavy canopy, isolating us in a pocket of shadows.

    “Not that,” I start, the guilt from the past still nagging at me. “About my… ‘mean mouth’…”

    “I shouldn’t have said anything.”

    We’re so close the clouds from our breath are colliding in the cold air.

    “No, it’s okay… I just… I just hope I wasn’t mean to you.”

    His voice lowers. “You never said anything to me at all.”

    “Well. I should have.”

    He looks at me, his expression shifting from amusement to something else. “I thought you had the prettiest mouth.”

    The air leaves my lungs.

    “Yeah?” I ask. I take a step closer, closing the gap. “You thought that?”

    “Yeah,” Dino says, his voice rough. “Still do.”

    I lean in, giving him the chance to back away. He doesn’t. I press my mean mouth to his—tentatively at first. His lips are cool from the night air, but warm underneath.

    For a heartbeat, he freezes. Then he surges forward—his tongue tasting mine, wrestling.

    My hands find his chest, where I feel his heart thudding like a drum.

    I break the kiss but I don’t stop. I trail my lips down his jawline, scraping against the rough stubble, down to the pulse point at his neck.

    I slide my hands down, over his ribs, and down until my fingers hook into the buckle of his belt.

    Dino sucks in a sharp breath. His hands hover over my shoulders, uncertain. “Avery.”

    “Let me show you,” I whisper, as I drop to my knees.

    I work the heavy leather belt, the metal chinking softly in the silence, and undo the button.

    The ground is damp, soaking instantly into the knees of my jeans, but I don’t care. I’m focused entirely on the landscape in front of me.

    When I pull his zipper down and free him, the sight makes my breath catch. His cock is thick, heavy and pale, nesting in a dense thatch of rust-colored hair—Cooper Red. I pull the fabric down, releasing him into the cool night air.

    “Avery” Dino whispers, looking down.

    I don’t wait. I wrap my left hand around the base of him, anchoring him—he’s hot, velvet-soft steel. My right hand grips his thigh, digging into the heavy denim to steady myself against the tense muscle beneath.

    When I take him into my mouth, Dino lets out a low, guttural groan. His hands land on my head, his fingers resting lightly in my hair.

    I take him deep, letting my throat adjust to the size of him, and then I start to work.

    I use my tongue, trailing up the underside and swirling over the sensitive ridge of the crown. I bob my head, lubing him with spit and sliding down the length of him, tightening my lips on the upstroke to create a suction that makes his hips push forward.

    “F-fuck,” Dino stammers. “Avery. God.”

    I love the power of it. This man—this sturdy, unshakeable Cooper brother who fixes everything for everyone else—is coming undone. And I’m doing it.

    I pick up the pace, my left hand pumping the base of him while my mouth works the head and length. I can hear his breathing turning jagged, bordering on hyperventilation. His grip in my hair tightens, pulling me closer, silently begging for more.

    He starts to move with me, his heavy thighs trembling against my palm. He thrusts into my mouth and I meet him, taking him deeper, swallowing him whole—determined to wreck him.

    He’s close. I can feel the tension winding up in his hips, the way his groan turns into a high, thin sound of need.

    “Avery,” he gasps. “I can’t… I’m gonna…”

    I tighten my mouth, my throat, preparing to take everything he has, when—

    Snap. Crunch.

    The sound of a heavy boot on gravel cuts through the quiet like a gunshot.

    “Did you hear that?” a voice asks, uncomfortably close.

    We freeze.

    Dino goes rigid. His hands clamp onto my head, halting me instantly.

    “I think it came from the maintenance road,” another voice says. “Probably just a raccoon.”

    A flashlight beam sweeps through the trees above us, cutting a white arc through the leaves. It misses us by ten feet, lighting up the underside of the canopy like a spotlight.

    Dino pulls out of my mouth, steps back. I scramble to my feet, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand, as he fumbles to fix his jeans.

    I find myself a little giddy with the thrill of being caught—the adrenaline spike of a teenager. But Dino is quiet.

    We scramble deeper into the brush, moving parallel to the fence until we find another gap in the ivy. We slip through, emerging near the reservoir, hearts pounding—and our bodies aching with unfinished business.

    We walk fast back to the truck. Dino isn’t looking at me anymore. He’s scanning the path, checking the shadows. His armor back in place.


    8. The Rendering

    The drive back to my parents’ home is a study in tension.

    The windows are down, letting the wind dry the sweat clinging to our clothes. The silence in the SUV isn’t peaceful. It’s electric with the adrenaline of the near-miss and the frustration of the interruption.

    But Dino’s gripping the steering wheel like he’s trying to strangle it.

    He rolls up to the curb in front of my parents’ house but leaves the engine idling. The low rumble vibrates through the seat and under my skin.

    He stares straight ahead, his jaw working. He looks like a man who is ready to bolt.

    I realize I need to de-escalate this. He’s wound tight.

    “Sorry,” I say quietly, breaking the silence. Bringing my own blood pressure down, drawing him down with me. “About the timing. That was… unfortunate.”

    Dino lets out a sharp exhale, running a hand through his messy hair. “Yeah.”

    “I mean… it’s the gay neighborhood,” I offer, trying to lighten the mood. “That probably happens all the—”

    He looks at me then—eyes dark, a flush high on his cheekbones. He looks like he doesn’t know what to do with the energy buzzing under his skin.

    “I should…” He gestures vaguely at the road.

    I look at him. I’m not ready for him to drive away. Not like this.

    “Want to see something beautiful?” I ask, using his own words.

    Curiosity wars with the flight instinct in his eyes. Curiosity wins.

    “Show me.”

    Inside, Dino stops in the archway, looking around. “Wow. Oak floors. Mahogany built-ins,” he notes, running his hand over the dark wainscotting. “Not like that laminate crap they put in the townhomes next door. They don’t build ’em like this anymore.”

    “Last one left on the block,” I say. “It looks like the house in Up.”

    I don’t mention how much I’d prefer a sleek modern townhome myself—free of history.

    My curved monitor is glowing in the dark room, the only light source. The rendering I was working on earlier is still there.

    “This is it,” I say, walking over to the table. “The bunker.”

    Dino walks around the heavy oak table, moving slowly. I sit and he leans in over my shoulder, squinting at the screen.

    “What is it?” he asks.

    “LGBTQ Senior housing,” I say, sitting down and grabbing the mouse.

    I start the walkthrough. The screen fills with the lobby—warm woods, natural light.

    “Most gay seniors don’t have kids,” I say. “They don’t have that safety net. There’s a terrible isolation problem. And because so many live on fixed incomes, they get pushed out of the gay neighborhoods to areas where there are fewer services for them. Away from the communities they built.”

    I click through to the courtyard.

    “So we’re building this. One hundred and fifty units. Some at market rate, to help subsidize the rent-controlled majority—but they all look exactly the same. So you can’t tell which are low-income and which aren’t.”

    I click again, showing the layout of the residential block.

    “We’re trying to do this in five cities in California,” I explain, my voice finding its rhythm. “This is the pilot. The idea is to create a model that scales. Efficient. Replicable. Respectful.”

    I point to the ground floor. “Healthcare center on site. An open community space—not just for the residents. We want the younger queer kids coming in, mixing with the older crowd. Bridging the gap. Keep the history alive.”

    I zoom in on the event space. “Yoga. Writing workshops. Community meals. And—at my insistence—Saturday night disco.”

    Dino cracks a smile. “Disco?”

    “Absolutely. Steven and I jokingly call the place ‘Queen Acres,’” I say with a dry smile. “This is the Foundation’s flagship project. Basically half my business is wrapped up in making sure this thing stands up.”

    I look at the rendering—the little digital avatars sitting on the digital benches under the virtual trees.

    “The retainer pays the bills,” I say, roaming the rendering. “It buys me the margin to take on the smaller non-profits at discount, or pro bono. There’s a youth shelter… a trans advocacy group that can’t afford a strategist. But this… this is the engine.”

    Dino’s eyes are on the screen, his big hand resting on my back as he leans in closer.

    I don’t mean to say so much. I can feel my guard slipping.

    I swallow, looking at a digital figure sitting alone on a bench.

    “They fought for everything we have,” I whisper.

    The words come out on their own, unbidden. I’m not pitching the project anymore. I’m just confessing the thing that keeps me awake at 3 AM to a man I barely know.

    “They survived the plague. They survived the laws.” My voice is barely audible. “They shouldn’t have to survive loneliness too.”

    I move the mouse to the structural view, but Dino’s hand covers mine—huge, warm, and rough, engulfing my fingers.

    He presses down gently, using my hand to guide the mouse, panning the camera slowly back across the courtyard.

    He’s taking it all in—the details, the scope, the care put into every line.

    “Avery,” he says quietly, still steering my hand through the virtual world. “You did all this?”

    I look up. He’s staring at the rendering, the glow of the screen on his handsome profile.

    “What? Oh, God. No,” I say quickly, feeling the need to be precise. “There are designers, planners… a whole campaign. There’s a… solar system at work. I’m just a comet, in my own… eccentric little orbit. I do some strategy, help Steven. Thought partnership.”

    I withdraw my hand from the warm cap of his, stand up.

    Dino doesn’t step back. He stays right there, deep in my personal space. I have to tilt my head back to look him in the eye.

    “Dino,” I breathe.

    He doesn’t say anything else. He reaches out, his large hands clamping onto my hips. With barely a grunt of effort, he hoists me up.

    I gasp as he sits me firmly on the edge of the heavy oak table, shoving the keyboard aside with my thigh. My legs part automatically for him. He steps between them, anchoring me there.

    He kisses me, hard, and this time there are no flashlights, no interruptions. There’s just Dino, the ticking clock, and the thud of my belt hitting the table as we pick up where we left off.


    9. Torque

    There’s no slow build this time. We burned through the preamble in the bushes at the park. Now, there’s only the need to finish what we started.

    Dino kisses me like he’s trying to breathe for both of us. His hands are heavy on my hips, pulling me near. I wrap my legs around his waist, closing the gap, to feel the undeniable hardness of him against me.

    “Avery,” he groans, breaking the kiss to bury his face in the crook of my neck. His stubble scrapes my skin. “Jesus.”

    I fumble with his belt again—the heavy leather buckle I’ve already conquered once tonight. I pull it through the loops, and it drops to the hardwood floor with a heavy clack, followed by the sound of his zipper.

    I pull his jeans open, and he shoves them down his thighs, then his briefs, kicking to widen his stance. He’s thick and heavy, pressing against the fabric between his cock and my rear..

    “Oh fuck,” I mutter, holding his cock as his teeth graze my neck.

    I lift my rear to shove my jeans and briefs down to my ankles and off one foot, clearing the way. My t-shirt bunches up under my arms as I lean back, my elbow hitting the mouse, sending the little pencil rolling off the table.

    Dino pulls back, eyes scanning me as I perch on the edge of my parents’ dining table. My own cock is stiff, sticky with precum from back at the park. He reaches for my hips, his hands trembling slightly.

    “Hold on,” I gasp.

    My brain, even now, runs the logistics. Friction. Mechanics.

    I reach blindly behind me, scrabbling until my fingers close around the pump bottle of moisturizer.

    “Here,” I whisper.

    I pump it into my palm—cold, white lotion that smells faintly of oats—and reach between us.

    Dino watches me, his chest rising and falling under the thin tee. He looks mesmerized as I wrap my hand around him, coating him, slicking him. He feels massive under my touch.

    “God,” he hisses, hips bucking involuntarily against my hand.

    “Easy,” I murmur, though my own heart is hammering against my ribs.

    I use the rest of the lotion on myself, a quick, necessary preparation. Then I lean back, bracing my hands on the edge of the oak beneath me.

    “Come here,” I say, hiking up my legs.

    Dino fits between my thighs like he was made for the space. He catches the underside of one thigh, the other hand positioning himself at my entrance. His eyes are locked on the point where we meet, his jaw working with focus.

    His grip tightens, and he pushes forward.

    It’s a slow, filling pressure—thick and solid, stretching me, filling the empty space. I bite my lip, locking the sound in my throat as he finishes the long slow slide, burying himself in me. I can’t help but release a long, low, “Fuckkkk.”

    “You okay?” Dino rumbles, freezing. He shudders; the effort of holding still clearly costs him.

    I almost laugh. “Don’t stop,” I gasp, pulling him closer with my legs, an ankle locking at the small of his back. “Don’t fucking stop.”

    He doesn’t.

    He pulls back and thrusts in, and the rhythm takes over. The oak table creaks under us. My monitor wobbles on its stand, casting shifting blue shadows across the concentration on Dino’s face as he moves inside me.

    “Just like that,” I mutter, shifting my hips, trying to take him deeper.

    He drives into me with the strength I sensed in him from day one—knocking me back every time his balls slap against my ass. I grip the edge of the table to steady myself as he picks up his pace, realizing I can take it. Want it.

    His eyes squeeze shut, jaw jutting forward—his face a mask of concentration and pleasure, his big hands clutching at me hard.

    My legs tighten again, trying to deepen his hits in me. I reach down between our sweating bodies, finding my own cock. I’m hard and leaking, and the last of the lotion on my palm is a relief.

    It’s all sweat and friction and the wet sound of skin slapping against skin.

    Hearing the smacking, Dino looks down. He makes a low, guttural noise when he sees what I’m doing. The sight of me jerking myself seems to break whatever control he had left. He drives harder, pace quickening.

    I match his rhythm with my hand. Stroke for thrust. I want him to see what he’s doing to me.

    Thumbs dig into my hips, fingers clutch my ass. The angle shifts, and the thick column of him hits a spot that makes my vision white out.

    “Dino,” I groan out loud.

    It all goes static. My hand moves in a blur, I reach the edge before I know it—and then I’m over it—shooting hot and messy over my own stomach as my throat croaks.

    He groans, a deep, rough sound from the bottom of his chest. He drives into me one, two, three more times—hard and fast—before freezing, his whole body rigid as he pours himself into me.

    He shudders, bites his bottom lip, and I let the hold of my legs around him ease.

    Dino drops forward, pulling out. I feel hollowed out—aching instantly.

    His forehead rests against mine. “Wow,” he breathes, against me.

    I run my hands up and down his back, feeling the sweat-dampened shirt, the rapid-fire beat of his heart slowing.

    “Yeah. Wow,” I say, my voice raspy.

    We stay like that for a long time. The only sounds in the room are gasping breaths and the grandfather clock in the hall, ticking away the seconds as the world slowly seeps back in.

    Dino lifts his head. He looks at me, then down at our tangled bodies. Then at the mess on my stomach that he fucked out of me.

    He looks dazed as he steps back. He fumbles to pull his jeans up, his face flushing a deep crimson.

    I slide off the table, legs wobbly. I kick my jeans free from my ankle, wincing slightly at the soreness already setting in.

    Dino steps backward. putting a foot of cold air between us. He runs a hand through his hair, turning his back to me before reaching into his pocket, pulling out his phone.

    The screen lights up his face—harsh, blue, and unforgiving. He stares at the time like it’s a bomb counting down.

    “I have to go.”

    He picks his belt off the floor.

    “What?” I ask, more confused than surprised.

    He grabs his jacket from the chair.

    “Everything okay?” I ask, resting against the table, trying to read him, feeling suddenly exposed without pants, ridiculous.

    “I gotta go,” he says. He’s not looking at me. He’s looking at the door, already halfway gone. “I just… I gotta go.”

    “Oh,” I say. The word feels small in the quiet room. “Okay.”

    “I’ll… I’ll see you,” he says, swinging the door open.

    The door clicks shut. I hear the Tahoe start up outside, the engine roaring to life, and then the sound of tires peeling away from the curb, fast. Too fast.

    I’m left standing alone in the hallway with the ticking clock and absolutely no idea what just happened.


    10. Analysis Paralysis

    I wake up stiff.

    My inner thighs ache in a way that usually belongs to the very young or the very reckless. I am currently neither.

    Getting fucked on the dining room table by the high school jock-turned-mechanic ought to leave you satisfied. Instead, I’m thrown.

    My brain replays the last ten minutes of the encounter on a loop. The incredible feel of him inside me. The way he grabbed my hips. The look on his face during… and then afterward—like he’d just woken up and realized he was in the wrong movie.

    “I gotta go.” What the fuck was that?

    I’m a thirty-five-year-old gay guy. It’s not the first time a hookup ended with a quick exit. Hell, I’ve made them myself.

    But this was Dino.

    I’m not a teenager, even if I’m living in my parents’ house. I’m not going to freak out over this. But I guess I was past these kinds of feelings.

    I make coffee and drink it standing in the middle of the kitchen.

    I do what I do: run the scenarios.

    Scenario A: He regretted having sex with a guy instantly. Post nut clarity hit like a freight train. Scenario B: He’s freaking out about his sexuality. Scenario C: I was just a scratch for an itch he’s had for seventeen years, and now he’s done.

    Oh god. Scenario D: He’s not divorced. He’s got a wife. I didn’t see a ring. But guys lie—especially guys looking for a quick release on the side.

    The house is too quiet to keep me from ruminating, looking for clues, running scenarios E to Z.

    I’m used to solitude. I know how to manage it. But for once, I’d like to hear another person’s voice.

    There’s Dino. That’s the one I’d want to hear, but obviously not. I don’t know how to reach him anyway. The shop is closed on Sundays—I can’t even walk by the shop, casually… “Oh hi Dino, yeah, just taking a walk. Nice day. Like to grab a burger?”

    There’s my mom. Definitely not.

    There’s my ex.

    I pick up the phone. It’s Sunday. He has a strict “no screens, only mimosas” rule until noon, so I need a reason. 

    It rings four times.

    “Avery.” It’s Steven. Not my ex. I’m not that far gone. “Unless the building has physically collapsed into the Bay, take a day off.”

    “Did you get the zoning addendum?” I ask, keeping my voice clipped and professional.

    Silence.

    “Avery,” Steven says. “Yes. I got it. I saw it. It’s fine. Why are you calling me about a one-foot setback at nine in the morning on a Sunday?”

    “Just… wanted to be sure you saw it.”

    “You’re spinning,” Steven says. He knows me too well. “What’s actually wrong?”

    I look out the window at the empty driveway. I can’t say I slept with a mechanic and now I’m standing in my parents’ kitchen with… feelings.

    “You and Rudy,” I say, pivoting awkwardly. “You’ve been together a while, right?”

    There is a pause on the line.

    “If thirty years counts as a while,” Steven says slowly. “Why?”

    “How did you know?” I ask. “In the beginning. How did you know he was the one?”

    “Oh lord,” Steven chuckles. “I don’t know that I did. Not then. There was no marriage back then, Avery. No blueprints for it. We just… hooked up a few times. Dated. Moved in. Rode it out. By the time we could get married it was a done deal. Next thing you know, you’re two old fucks who know each other better than anyone.”

    I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. “Sounds romantic.”

    “It’s somewhere between Christmas morning and being buried alive,” Steven says. “But I wouldn’t trade it.”

    “Right,” I say softly.

    “You meet someone out there in Rain City?” Steven asks. He’s sharp.

    “No,” I lie instantly. “Definitely not. Just… thinking about the future.” Then, to deflect, I throw out the other thing. “The job.”

    “The Deputy Director role?” Steven’s tone shifts, dropping the banter. “Are you serious?”

    “I don’t know,” I say, unsure what I’m even talking about. “It’s a lot, Steven. I’m used to the consulting life. I’m used to having an exit strategy.”

    “I know you are.”

    “If I take it…” I say, staring at the empty spot in the driveway. “I have to be on site. I have to deal with the day-to-day. I can’t just leave if things get messy.”

    “Yes,” Steven says. “That is generally the definition of commitment.”

    I let out a weary sigh.

    “This is none of my business,” Steven adds. “But I pay your retainer, so indulge me. You have this aloofness… It’s professionalism, I know… but maybe you’re also playing it safe.”

    I’m silent in response.

    “It’s safe to be a consultant—loose attachments. Come and go. You can get out of dodge when things get tough.”

    “Steven, if you’re telling me I—”

    “Avery, you do the work. I’d have jumped off the Golden Gate five times without you,” he cuts in. “But if you really commit… it’s tougher. It hurts more when it goes wrong—and things always go wrong. But it’s the only way to get the real reward.” He lets it sink in. “Sometimes you need to take a chance for more.”

    There’s a long pause. “I get it.”

    “Maybe the cave you fear holds the treasure you seek.”

    “I’m going to pretend you’re not quoting Joseph Campbell to me now.”

    That gets a laugh.

    “Have a good Sunday, buddy,” Steven answers. “I have to get Rudy to drag brunch or I’ll never hear the end of it.”

    The line goes dead.

    I clean the dining room table with Murphy’s Oil Soap, scrubbing the wood grain where Dio railed me twelve hours ago. Like I’m wiping down a crime scene.

    I try to work. I have a salad.

    The rest of the day is a case study in deterioration.

    At 4:00 PM, I tell myself he just needed the day to process.

    Then, the waiting begins.

    I try not to think it, but it’s too obvious: He came by on Friday night. He came by on Saturday night. 

    You need seven data points to establish a trend. This is only two, but… even with the way he left, the pattern has been established.

    I heat dinner—curry, pre-made, portioned. I eat it standing up at the island, not tasting a bite. I down a glass of wine.

    I weed the front garden at 6:45 PM, pulling each stray invader out by the roots.

    Every heavy engine that rumbles past makes my heart jump, only to crash when it’s just a delivery truck or a neighbor’s SUV.

    The street is empty. 7:30 PM. Dusk. 8:00 PM. It’s dark.

    8:30. 8:45. 9:00. He isn’t coming.

    This is when it sets in. My Master’s degree in Being Alone is failing me. Usually, I can fill a Sunday with reading, emails, jerking off, ticking off the hours in fifteen-minute increments. Today, the silence just feels loud.

    Then, I pour a drink. Bourbon. Two fingers, then three. I take it to the living room and turn on the TV. I watch a Ken Burns documentary, while the alcohol burns a slow, numbing path through my chest.

    10:15 PM. Nothing. 11:45 PM. Nothing.

    I turn off the TV. The house settles—creaks and groans—the refrigerator humming and the grandfather clock ticking.

    Bedside, I strip off my clothes alone, reminded of the slight ache in my legs that hasn’t gone away.

    I’m thirty-five and staring at the ceiling of my childhood bedroom.

    Steven offered me the out. San Francisco. The CEO track. All I have to do is say yes, pack my bag, and leave this messy, confusing situation behind.

    It would be so easy to leave. But for the first time, the exit strategy doesn’t feel like a prize. It feels like a consolation.


    11. Exit Strategy

    Monday is a holiday. Labor Day.

    Despite the bourbon the night before, I wake up with a clarity that feels like a fever break.

    The ache in my legs is gone.

    I wait until 9 AM, grab my phone.

    Steven picks up on the second ring. “You know it’s a holiday, Avery.”

    “I’m coming back,” I say.

    There is a pause. I can hear the smile in Steven’s voice before he even speaks. “To San Francisco?”

    “To the Deputy Director role,” I say. “If the offer is still good. To civilization.”

    “Oh, thank God,” Steven exhales. “I was terrified you were going to buy a flannel shirt and start hiking.”

    “No,” I say, standing up and walking to the window. The trees are letting go of their leaves—summer is officially over. “I’m done here. I need a few days to get the house ready. Pack my stuff. I can drive down on Saturday.”

    “Excellent,” Steven says. “I’ll have HR draft the offer letter. We can announce it at the board meeting next month.”

    “Send it,” I say. “I’m ready.”

    “You okay, Avery?” Steven asks, a hint of softness returning.

    “I’m great,” I lie, working to convince us both. “Really excited. I’ll see you Monday.”

    I hang up.

    The relief is instant. It’s chemical. The ambiguity is gone. The open loop is closed. I have a destination.

    I spend the next three hours dismantling my life in Seattle.

    I open my laptop, draft a template email—professional, concise, devoid of emotion—and start firing it off to the three local non-profits I was courting for consulting gigs.

    Subject: Change of Status …transitioning back to San Francisco effective immediately… happy to refer you to a colleague in Portland, if a more remote working relationship isn’t feasible…

    Send. Send. Send. Snip. Snip. Snip.

    I pull up my text thread with my mother.

    Hi Mom. House is in good shape. I’m heading back to SF on Saturday. Big opportunity—more later.  Let’s get the house back on the rental market. (Don’t worry. Everything is good. Thanks for the soft landing when I needed it.)

    Send.

    I secure an Airbnb in Noe Valley for my arrival—a sleek, modern studio with a high-speed connection and a view of the hills. No history, no dark wainscotting, and no ghosts. Just a clean slate with a 4:00 PM check-in. 

    I close the laptop.

    A comforting sensation washes over me. It’s the muscle memory of leaving—the feeling I lived on for a decade—the thud of tires on the tarmac, the click of a hotel room key card, the solitary peace of eating a salad at a restaurant bar while reading The Economist.

    It feels like me again. I’m not the guy waiting for a knock at the door. I’m the guy in the business class lounge, moving on to the next city, the next problem.

    I’m in motion again.

    By two o’clock, the admin work is done.

    I go down to the basement, drag my two Briggs & Riley suitcases up the narrow stairs, the wheels bumping against the wood. 

    There’s a box of high school memorabilia my mother salvaged when I tried to throw it away when I left for California. I leave it.

    I open the front and back doors—let the place air out. The cool September air rushes in, displacing the scents of my stay, making it anonymous again.

    I pull up Spotify on my phone and connect it to the living room speakers. I scroll past my “Focus” playlist. I need energy.

    I hit play on Hot Chip’s cover of Dancing in the Dark.

    The synth beat kicks in. It’s not the Bruce Springsteen dirge; it’s a frantic, neon-lit dance anthem.

    I get up in the evening… and I ain’t got nothing to say…

    I crank the volume.

    I grab the broom—start sweeping the kitchen, moving in time with the beat. The music fills the empty house, bouncing off the walls. The lead singer’s voice is weaker than Springsteen’s—making it somehow more plaintive and heartfelt, despite all the synth.

    You can’t start a fire… Sitting ’round crying over a broken heart…

    The beat picks up and I move faster, sweeping the dust into a pile. I attack the counters with the spray bottle, singing along. My voice cracks on the high notes. I’m dancing—not well, but with an energy that helps exorcise the place. I shimmy across the tiles, sliding in my socks, wiping down the cabinets, shaking off the rejection, shaking off the waiting.

    This gun’s for hire… Even if we’re just dancing in the dark…

    I spin around, using the spray bottle as a microphone, turning toward the open living room door.

    I freeze.

    The song keeps driving, the synth line climbing higher and higher, but I’m paralyzed.

    Dino.

    He’s leaning in the doorway, wearing a gray zip-up hoodie over a blue polo shirt, arms crossed over his chest.

    Grinning.

    It’s a wide, crinkle-eyed smile. Toothsome. He’s been watching me slide around in my socks and scream into a bottle of Windex for God knows how long.

    My heart slams as I scramble for my phone on the built-in, my fingers fumbling over the screen. I hit pause.

    The silence that crashes back into the room is deafening.

    “Don’t stop on my account,” he says. He doesn’t stop smiling. He pushes off the doorframe and steps over the threshold, into the house. His voice is warm, teasing. “You got some moves, Avery.”

    “What are you doing here?” I ask, breathless, clutching the Windex like a weapon.

    “I heard the music,” he says, taking another step closer. “From the street.”

    He looks at me, his eyes dropping to my socks, then back up to my flushed face. The grin softens into something less amused and more… happy.

    “And,” he adds, “I brought donuts.”

    He pulls a white paper bag from his hoodie pocket.

    “I was passing Top Pot,” he says, offering it with a casual shrug. “Thought of you.”


    12. The Rebuttal

    I stare at the white paper bag. It has a grease stain on the bottom corner.

    “A donut?” I ask flatly.

    “Maple bar,” Dino corrects. He’s still grinning, oblivious to the fact that I am vibrating with a mix of adrenaline, Hot Chip, and more than a little anger. “Top Pot. I know you like the fancy stuff.”

    He holds it out.

    I don’t take it.

    Dino’s smile falters, just a fraction. “Not a maple guy? I knew I should have gotten old-fashioned. We can go back—”

    “Dino,” I say, shaking my head. “I don’t want a donut.”

    He blinks. Then it settles in. “I’m in trouble.”

    I feel like a cranky wife. It’s not a good look on me. But it comes out anyway.

    “Saturday night,” I say, steeling myself. “We had… sex. Then you said you had to go. You went dark for forty-eight hours. No text. No call. Nothing. So, yeah, I’m a little put out.”

    Dino scratches the back of his neck, shifting his weight. “Avery, I didn’t go dark. I went home.”

    “Without a word.” I cross my arms, resting my weight against the table, building my case. “I’m too old for this, Dino. I have worked very hard to get my life to a place where I don’t have to guess where I stand. I am not going to be some straight guy’s experiment.”

    Dino’s face hardens. The playfulness drains out of his expression instantly.

    “Is that what you think?” he asks. His voice drops. “You think you’re an experiment?”

    “Here’s my analysis,” I say, the words spilling out fast. “You’re recently divorced. Probably still figuring things out. Late-night drives… a little lonely. And you’re thirty-five, wondering about what might have been. Then I show up—the weird debate kid. Successful on paper, but let’s face it, kind of a mess. Obviously into you.” I gesture at him. “So why not play it out? See what it’s like. But then the reality of it freaks you ou—”

    “Wow,” Dino cuts in. “I thought you changed. The other day when you apologized, in the shop. Did that feel good? The ‘analysis?’”

    I fold my arms tighter, say nothing. It felt like skinning myself alive.

    “My turn,” Dino continues. “I took off because my ex-wife is an ER nurse and she picked up a double shift for the holiday weekend.”

    My mouth opens, but nothing comes out.

    “I was already fucking late, because of… this.” He gestures at the dining room table. “I had to get back to relieve the sitter and take over. I have two kids, Avery. When Sarah works, I’m on duty. That’s the job.”

    He rests his hands on his hips, looking away, his lips tightening and releasing.

    “I spent the last forty-eight hours breaking up fights over the Xbox and doing five loads of laundry,” he says. “It wasn’t a panic attack. It was Sunday. And Monday.”

    I feel a flush creeping up my neck. “Oh.”

    “Yeah. Oh.”

    “You could have texted. You have my number,” I say, clinging to my grievance like a life raft, even though I can feel it taking on water. “It takes ten seconds to send a text.”

    “I know,” Dino admits, softening slightly. “Fuck. Okay.” He rubs his face in a hand. “I was a little freaked out. We got… almost chased out of the park. I’m a dad, Avery. Then this.” He nods to the table, where we fucked. “I’m not good at this part. The dating part. It’s been a long time.” The heat runs out of him. “Can’t you see that I… like you?”

    “Dating?” I jump on the doubt, auto-argue mode activated. “I don’t think that’s what this is.” My voice levels, going in for the kill. “Why would I think the high school jock actually likes—”

    “Stop,” Dino barks.

    The sound is so sharp I jump.

    “Don’t call me that,” he says. He runs his fingers over his head, Cooper Red hair sticking up in tufts. He takes the hoodie off and drops it on the counter. Underneath, he’s wearing a polo that strains against his shoulders.

    He grabs the hem of the shirt and yanks it up, bunching it under his arms.

    “Look at me,” he commands.

    I look. I can’t help it.

    He has a mat of rust-colored hair on his chest. And below that, his stomach is slightly rounded, but solid. It’s not a washboard—it’s the kind of sturdy torso that lifts engine blocks.

    He grabs a handful of his own stomach, shaking it slightly.

    “I’m not a high school jock!” he yells. “I’m thirty-five, Avery! I’ve got a gut. I’ve got a bad knee. I’ve got gray in my beard.”

    He drops the shirt, breathing hard, his face flushed.

    “Would you look at me?” he demands. “Instead of who you think I was? Would you stop debating for five minutes and just look at the guy standing here? Because if it’s a debate I lost before I even walked in.”

    I see the creases at his eyes. The calluses on his hands. A little softness over a solid core. The man who showed up with a maple bar after a weekend of domestic refereeing just because he wanted to see me.

    “You look amazing,” I whisper. “Good rebuttal.”

    He blows a breath out, shaking his head.

    He closes the gap. He doesn’t ask this time. He grabs the front of my t-shirt and hauls me against him.

    The kiss is messy, teeth glancing off each other, tongues driving. I make an involuntary sound—something between a protest and a surrender—and grab his arms, fingers digging into his triceps.

    I feel his stomach press against mine—that soft, heavy warmth he was just yelling about. It feels grounding. It feels real.

    “Five minutes,” he murmurs against my mouth, his hands roaming over my back, slipping under my shirt. “No debating. No thinking. Just this.”

    “Okay,” I breathe, my heart hammering. “Okay.”

    He pushes my shirt up. His hands are rough on my skin. I knock the bottle of Windex onto the floor with a clatter that neither of us acknowledges.

    The house is open to the cool air, but we’re burning up in collision: I’m leaving. Dino’s arriving.


    13. The Tire Thumper

    We spill into the bedroom, kissing, tangling, grasping.

    Dino nearly trips over the rug, laughing breathlessly as he catches himself on the bedpost.

    “Shirt,” I say, grabbing the hem of his blue polo. “Off. I want to see you.”

    He lifts his arms, obedient, and I yank the fabric up and over his head, tossing it blindly into the corner.

    There he is.

    The mat of rust-colored hair on his chest, the broad shoulders, the soft, pale curve of his stomach and the solid pecs that rise and fall with his breath. I run my hands over him, digging my fingers into the softness to find the steely core beneath. 

    But the belt buckle is digging into my hip, and I’m suddenly sick of the barriers.

    My hands move quickly as I toe off my shoes, unbuckle my belt, shove my jeans down, and kick them away. My t-shirt goes next, then my boxer briefs.

    I stand there for a second, fully exposed in the dimly lit room.

    Dino’s eyes travel up my legs, over my hips and cock, lingering on the thin trail of hair running up my abs and chest, before meeting my eyes. He swallows hard.

    “Tell me you didn’t look this good in high school,” he says, his voice rough with appreciation.

    I chuckle, resting a hand on his hip. “I definitely did not. I was a twig with bad glasses and a worse haircut.”

    “Thank God,” Dino grins, lazily scratching at his chest. “I’d hate to have missed out.”

    “Catch up time,” I say, pushing him back. 

    We both know he outweighs me by fifty pounds—that my strength is from reps and cardio, his is from torque and leverage—but he lets me. 

    The springs groan under him as if they’re channeling me. I’m on him before he can settle, shoving him back until he’s sprawling, legs spread, boots still thumping against the floor.

    I lean down, kisses trailing down his neck, over the rough stubble of his jaw, down to his chest. I bite lightly at a pink nipple and feel his breath hitch. I move lower, over the mound of his belly, as my hands fumble with his belt buckle.

    I’ve done it before, but my hands tremble a little this time.

    “Damn it,” I mutter, fingers slipping.

    Dino lifts his hips to help, his fingers digging into the mattress. I finally pop the buckle, the sound sharp in the quiet room. I yank the zipper down, opening the jeans.

    “Boots,” I say.

    I grab the heel of his left work boot and haul it off. It takes a solid yank. The right one follows, dropping to the floor with a heavy thud. Then I grip the denim at his knees and drag the jeans and his boxers down his legs in one long, friction-heavy slide.

    He kicks them free. The heavy gray wool socks stay on. It’s unglamorous and strangely endearing.

    His cock is beautiful—thick and pale—in that Cooper Red nest of hair. He’s roused, twitching against his stomach. But there’s a softness to the way he looks at me—exposed and trusting.

    I don’t climb up yet. I stay between his legs. I wrap my hand around him, anchor his cock with a fist, and use my tongue to torture him a little.

    I work him slowly at first, tasting the salt and something acrid, feeling him grow from mostly hard to rock solid in seconds. I go down, filling my mouth, wetting him and then taking him deeper, feeling him fill my throat.

    His hands find my hair, threading lightly.

    “Avery,” he warns, his voice strained. “Careful.”

    I pull off with a wet pop. I kiss the inside of his thigh, grazing the pale skin with my teeth.

    Crawling up, I reach into the bedside drawer. I shove past a paperback and a phone charger, feeling for the bottle.

    Dino watches, his muscles twitching with nervous energy, as I pump a generous amount of lube into my palm. It’s cold against my skin.

    “Lift your hips,” I murmur.

    Dino bridges up. I slide my hand down, coating him. I use two fingers to prep him, inside.

    He gasps, his thighs pull together, his butt cheeks clamping down for just a second.

    “Relax,” I whisper, resetting over him. “I’ve got you.”

    He forces a breath out, the ring loosening around my fingers. He pushes back against my hand, eager, needy.

    “You okay?” I ask, my voice tight.

    “Yeah,” he breathes, his face flushed crimson. “Yeah. Don’t stop.”

    I lube myself as he watches. His legs are heavy as I raise them on my shoulders, positioning myself. I brace one hand on the mattress beside his head and use the other to guide myself in.

    It’s a slow entry. Dino is tight. He grips the sheets, his knuckles turning white, his head tipping back to expose his throat.

    “Jesus,” he hisses through clenched teeth.

    I pause, letting him adjust to the intrusion. I lean down, pressing my chest against his, feeling the friction of his chest hair against my smooth skin.

    “I’ve got you,” I whisper into his ear. “No rush.”

    Dino lets out a shaky breath, his legs hooking loosely around my waist. “Okay. Go.”

    I start to move.

    I pull almost all the way out, then drive back in, slow and penetrating. Dino makes a noise that’s entirely involuntary—a guttural moan that vibrates against me.

    I find a rhythm. It’s not about speed yet, not pushing all the way either, but claiming ground, a little more with each thrust, feeling him tighten and relax.

    Dino’s unraveling beneath me. The big, capable mechanic, the guy who fixes everything, is getting wrecked. His eyes flutter—he does this thing with his jaw jutting forward, sucking in his bottom lip. He reaches up, his hands on my back, blunt nails digging in.

    “Avery,” he groans. “Fuck.”

    “You like that?” I pant, grinding my hips against his, searching for the angle.

    When I hit it, Dino arches off the mattress, a sharp choke in his throat.

    “There,” he grinds out. “Right there.” A ridge of nerves deep inside him.

    I hone in on it. I stop experimenting and start perfecting, adjusting my hips until I’m hitting that spot with every single stroke.

    “Oh fuck,” he moans, working his own cock with his rough hand. I’d do it myself—I want to—but I’ve got one hand on those big sturdy legs, cradling it, the other on the mattress for support, holding that angle, hitting that spot in him.

    I lean down, my mouth right at his ear, sweat dripping from my nose onto his cheek.

    “So right now I’m your tire thumper,” I whisper, breathless, grinning. “And I’d say you’re at ninety and rising fast.”

    Dino laughs—a choked bark.

    Thump. Thump. Thump.

    I feel him tightening around me, his body winding up like a spring. I speed up, not giving him a chance to recover between one spike of pleasure and the overlapping next.

    Th-thump-th-thump-th-thump.

    “I’m gonna blow,” he warns, his voice cracking. “Avery, I’m—”

    “Do it,” I mutter, snapping my hips forward hard into him. 

    He gasps loud, bucks hard. His body seizes up under mine. I feel the hot, wet pulse of him finishing against my stomach.

    “FUCKfuckfuck!”

    The tightness of him clamping down around me pushes me over. I push in and I just hold on to him, burying my face in the crook of his neck as I pour myself into him, with little frantic thrusts.

    We’re a slippery tangle of sweat and heavy limbs. My heart is hammering against his like it’s trying to break out as I drop onto him.

    Dino’s hands trace through the damp on my back. He smells like sweat, sex and Old Spice, and at the moment, it’s the most welcome scent I’ve ever known.

    Our lips meet again, the kisses less frantic, softer, but lingering.

    Slowly, the room stops spinning.

    I slide out of him with a wet smack. He winces, running a hand down there, as if checking it for damage.

    “Wow,” he breathes, the vibration rumbling against my cheek.

    “Yeah,” I mumble into his shoulder, my breath evening out. “Wow.”

    I roll off, flopping onto the mattress beside him. The air in the room is cooling as the afternoon fades into evening, but next to each other it’s warm. Humid.

    I run a hand through his chest hair. Cooper Red. The adrenaline is fading, replaced by a heavy, syrupy exhaustion.

    “Do you have to go?” I ask quietly.

    I brace myself for the shuffle, the check of the watch, the I gotta relieve the sitter.

    Dino shifts, wrapping a heavy arm around my waist and pulling me back against his chest. He buries his face in my hair.

    “Nope,” he mumbles, his voice drowsy. “Sarah has the boys until school drop-off. Shop opens at eight.”

    He kisses the back of my neck.

    “I’m off the clock all night.”

    A pang of guilt hits me. I’m not off the clock. I’m nearly out of time.

    But his arm is heavy and warm, and I’m weak.

    I lean back into him, letting his weight anchor me. There’s a sudden rumble in his stomach.

    “Sorry,” he says, grinning against my neck.

    “I know where there’s some donuts,” I remind him.

    After scarfing maple bars down in bed, we lick our fingers between sweet kisses.

    Then we drift, safe and solid, straight to the morning.


    14. Stop Work Order

    I wake up warm.

    That’s the first thing I register. Usually, I wake up clutching the duvet. Today, I’m anchored by a heavy arm draped over my waist and the sound of deep breathing against the back of my neck.

    Dino.

    I try not to move—to just lie there, letting the gray morning light filter through the blinds, feeling the weight of him. But my wakefulness must feel different, because Dino shifts. He groans low in his throat, stretching, his arm tightening around me for a second before he rolls onto his back.

    “Mmm,” he grumbles. “What time is it?”

    “Early,” I whisper. “Go back to sleep.”

    “Can’t,” he says, his voice thick. “Bladder.”

    He sits up, rubbing his face with one hand. The sheet falls to his waist. He looks soft and rumpled, his red hair sticking up in every direction. He swings his legs out of bed and stands up, stretching his arms over his head. His bare ass is pale. His back cracks.

    I watch him, shamelessly. I’m already planning breakfast. I have eggs. I have coffee. I like the thought of feeding him.

    On his way back, he stops, looking at the corner by the closet.

    There’s a confused, crooked half-smile on his face.

    “Taking a trip?” he asks.

    My stomach drops through the mattress.

    There, standing like monoliths against the tan wall, are my suitcases.

    Next to them is a stack of neatly folded clothes—my “San Francisco uniform” of dark chinos, black and charcoal cashmere sweaters. And a cardboard box I’d started filling with odds and ends—a few books, extra chargers.

    In the haze of the Hot Chip dance party and the maple bar and the sex, I completely forgot that I had dragged the luggage out of the basement yesterday afternoon.

    “Oh,” I say. My voice sounds thin.

    “Heading down to the city for a few days?” Dino asks casually, scratching his stomach. “Work emergency?”

    I sit up, pulling the sheet to my waist. I can lie. I can say yes, Steven needs me for a few days. It would be easy.

    But I look at Dino—naked, messy-haired, standing in my childhood bedroom—and I can’t do it.

    “Not a trip,” I say.

    Dino pauses. “Okay?”

    “I was packing,” I say. “To move back.”

    The silence in the room is sudden. The radiator clanks in the corner.

    Dino lowers his hand from his stomach. The sleepy, morning softness vanishes from his face.

    “Moving back,” he repeats. “To San Francisco?”

    “Yes.”

    “When?”

    “Saturday.”

    Dino looks at the suitcases. Then he looks at the bed—the tangled sheets, the pillow he just lifted his head from. Then he looks at me.

    “Saturday,” he says. “And you… just forgot to mention that?”

    “I’m telling you now,” I say, trying to keep my voice even.

    “After I asked,” Dino counters.

    “It wasn’t a strategy, Dino. I decided yesterday morning. Before you came over.”

    “Right. Yesterday. When I hadn’t texted you.”

    “I hadn’t heard from you in forty-eight hours!” I argue, swinging my legs out of bed but keeping the sheet wrapped around my waist. “I thought you ghosted me. So, yes, I made a plan. I accepted the job offer.”

    Dino stares at me. He doesn’t look angry. He looks humiliated.

    “So last night,” he says, his voice quiet. “When you were… when we were doing that. You knew?”

    I hear my voice go flat. “I knew—yes.”

    “And you let me stay?” Dino asks. He looks down at his own bare feet, then back at me. “You let me sleep here? You let me think…” He trails off, shaking his head. “I thought we were starting something. And you were already packing. Your luggage was right there.”

    He turns away, then back again.

    “Jesus. Last night was what? A send-off? One for the road?”

    “No! Dino, listen to me.” I stand up, clutching the sheet against my waist, feeling painfully exposed. “I thought you were gone. I made a decision based on the facts I had.”

    “And now?” Dino asks, gesturing to the bags. “The facts changed. But the bags are still packed.”

    “I can’t just turn down the Deputy Director role, Dino. It’s the career jump I’ve been working toward for ten years,” I say, my voice rising, trying to make the logic sound like enough. “But that doesn’t mean this has to end. San Francisco isn’t Mars. It’s a two-hour flight. We can visit. I have the resources, I have the flexibility. We can make this work.”

    “Make it work,” Dino repeats, dull and heavy.

    “Yes. People do it all the time,” I insist, my grasp on the fabric tightening. “I’m not running away. I’m just… going to where the work is. We can figure the rest out.”

    “But you are running,” Dino says.

    I can hear something in his voice. Some variable I haven’t taken into account. But he has.

    “You told me, Avery. You said the distance was the glue,” Dino reminds me. “You said you liked the hotels. The separate lives. That’s your comfort zone. And the second things get too real—the second we got a little messy—you packed your bags.”

    “That was different,” I argue, feeling the walls closing in. “I was unhappy then. This is different. I like you. I like being with you.”

    “From 800 miles away,” Dino says, looking at the suitcase, then back at me.

    “I have to be on site!” I plead. “I can’t run a California foundation from Seattle. But I can come back. I can be here on weekends.”

    Dino shakes his head with a kind of sad clarity.

    “I run a business. I’ve got kids. My life is messy. And I’m thirty-five. I’ve wasted too much time already on things that weren’t real.”

    He looks me right in the eye.

    “It’s not the weekends, Avery. It’s the instinct. I don’t want to start something up with a guy who’s never going to want to be closer than 800 miles away for more than a visit. Who needs to be apart. And based on everything you’ve ever told me… that is all you’re ever going to want. This just proves it.”

    “I’m not running,” I say again, but the fight is draining out of me. The suitcase standing there is making a stronger counter argument. “I’m right here.”

    “For now,” Dino says. “Until the next time things get messy.”

    He grabs the polo from the floor. He pulls it on, then jams his bare feet into his boots. He doesn’t bother to lace them.

    “I’ve got to go open the shop. I’ve got obligations.”

    He stops at the bedroom door. He looks back at me, then at the luggage.

    “I really liked you,” he says softly. “That’s the stupid part. I really liked you.”

    He opens the door.

    “Safe drive, Avery.”

    I hear his heavy footsteps on the oak floors, the front door open, the front door close. 

    I’m left standing in the middle of the room, staring at the suitcases, then at the rumpled bedsheets where, five minutes ago, I was happy.

    “God damn it.”


    15. The Sunk Cost Fallacy

    Efficiency is my love language. When the world falls apart, I organize it.

    I allotted myself until Saturday to pack up the house, but by Wednesday, I realized that a week is far too much time to uproot a life that hasn’t actually taken root. If you’re good at logistics, you can erase yourself in an hour.

    The formal job offer comes on Wednesday morning. Docusign. The offer is fair. Generous, in fact. Nothing to negotiate. I execute it, save a copy.

    By Thursday I’ve secured the new tenants for the house for my parents. It’s a hot market, and a well-kept, furnished craftsman gets snapped up in a day. A nice young couple from Portland with excellent credit scores will take my place. I ran their background checks, verified their income, and countersigned the digital lease by Wednesday afternoon.

    I walk them through the specs with detached professionalism. We talk about the conveniences of the neighborhood—the zoo, the little grocery that has one of everything. Gus Cooper Auto Repair. I failed to mention the acoustic properties of the living room when playing Hot Chip.

    On Thursday evening I scrub the oak floor and baseboards, erasing any trace of where a pair of work boots tracked anything in.

    I’m wiping down the leg of the dining table when I find it: the little yellow pencil, lodged in the shadow where it rolled on Saturday.

    I roll it through my fingers, and drop it into my cardboard box of odds and ends to take with me.  

    My parents are set. The revenue stream is secured. The house is ready.

    Friday morning arrives gray and wet. The Exit Strategy is fully operational, twenty-four hours ahead of schedule.

    There’s just one last stop: The box of high school remnants my mother saved.

    I shouldn’t do it, but I open the senior yearbook, flip to the Cs.

    There he is. The haircut is different, but the color’s the same—even in the low-res photo, it’s Cooper Red. But in his senior portrait, Dino’s lips are pressed together in a tight, closed-mouth smile. None of the wattage of the happy grin I saw over the weekend.

    Dino spent years hiding that gap in his teeth, not showing joy because he was ashamed of how it looked.

    I never noticed, then. Too worried about my own armor to see his.

    He bought himself a new smile, and he finally learned how to use it. And I was walking out on it.

    I tuck the book in the sleeve of one suitcase, zip it, and stack it in the trunk of the Audi. The cardboard box of odds and ends is in the backseat. My monitor and peripherals are boxed. Laptop in my bag. The key to the house is in the lockbox.

    I’m wearing my road trip uniform: good, dark sweats, a charcoal cashmere sweater, and Oliver Cabells on my feet. I look like Avery the Consultant. I look like a man in motion.

    As the engine hums to life I connect my phone to Bluetooth. I have one call to make before I hit the road. It’s completely unnecessary, which is why I have to make it.

    “Avery!” Steven’s voice fills the car cabin. “Tell me everything’s good.”

    “Just leaving Seattle now,” I say, trying to sound breezy. “I finished up early. I’ll be in the city tomorrow. I just wanted to verify that the Monday strategy session is still at nine. I thought I saw a calendar invite for nine-thirty and wanted to confirm.”

    I pull out of the driveway. I turn onto Phinney Avenue, heading south. The wipers swipe rhythmically at the drizzle.

    “You called me,” Steven says slowly, “while driving out of town, to ask about a thirty-minute discrepancy on a meeting that is three days away?”

    “I want to start off right.”

    There’s a pause. A long one.

    “It’s 9 AM,” Steven says. “Same as scheduled. But hey, since I have you, let me pass on the best advice anyone ever gave me about leadership. You listening?”

    “Always.”

    “When you get back here, get yourself a nice candy dish for your desk,” Steven says. “Not some old-lady crystal thing. Get a good bowl. Put that bowl on your office meeting table and keep your door open.”

    I drive past the Woodland Park Zoo. The west entrance is empty, the bronze penguin statues glistening in the rain. “A candy dish,” I repeat. “Got it.”

    “Keep the bowl full at all times—good chocolates, not the cheap stuff,” Steven continues. “You want people to know they can help themselves anytime. When they do, pay attention. Sometimes people just want some chocolate. But sometimes, it’s an excuse to come in—when they need an excuse to talk because it’s too hard to say. You want to watch for it. Ask how things are going. Give them an opening.”

    I think about a white paper bag with a grease stain. I think about a man standing in my parents’ home, holding out a maple bar as a peace offering.

    An excuse to talk because it’s too hard to say.

    I missed the opening. I was so busy analyzing the data that I missed the reason.

    “Since we’re virtual,” Steven says, his voice softening, “you and I don’t have that luxury. So I guess what I’m asking is: Is this call for chocolate? Or something else?”

    I turn onto 45th Street. The neighborhood shifts from residential to commercial.

    “No,” I say after a long pause. “Thanks for asking, Steven. Just eager to get to it.”

    “Alright,” Steven says. “Safe travels, Avery. See you next week.”

    “That’s the plan.” I force a smile that no one can see.

    “Please tell me you don’t want me to come back,” I mouth, inaudible.

    “Avery?”

    “Nothing,” I say quickly. “Talk soon.”

    I hang up. The silence in the car is too heavy for just one person.

    I drive through Wallingford. Ahead on the right, the neon sign of Dick’s Drive-In glows orange against the gray sky. Even in the rain, there’s a line at the window.

    The smell of grease and grilled onions drifts through the vents. It hits me—the memory of sitting in my own passenger seat, eating burgers, mustard on my mouth. Him reaching out to wipe it off.

    I approach the intersection. The big green sign overhead reads I-5 South. The arrow points to the right.

    I stop at the red light in the right-turn lane. The blinker ticks rhythmically.

    Tick. Tick. Tick.

    To my left, a delivery truck idles. Its engine rumbles deep enough to vibrate through my door. It mercifully blocks my view of the cross street—the road back to the neighborhood.

    I look at the dashboard. The Check Engine light is off. The tank is full. Everything is functioning within normal parameters. The car is fixed. The job is secured. The exit is clean. 

    I’m out of excuses.

    Sometimes it’s just an excuse to talk.

    The light turns green. The truck grinds into gear.

    A horn honks behind me.

    I lift my foot off the brake, hit the gas and turn.


    16. Collision Repair

    The bell above the door jingles—a sharp sound that cuts through the steady drumming of the rain.

    I step inside. The harsh yellow fluorescent lighting is a stark contrast to the gray misery outside.

    “Sorry,” I hear him call out from the garage. “We’re just closing up. If you need an estimate, you’ll have to come back on Mon—”

    Dino enters, wiping his hands on a red shop rag, his shoulders hunched in that way that signals the end of a long week.

    “Oh,” he says, his voice dropping. “Hey.”

    “Hey,” I say.

    He looks confused, like he’s seeing a ghost.

    “I thought you were…” He gestures vaguely toward the south wall of the shop. “I thought you’d be halfway to San Francisco by now.”

    “I was supposed to be,” I say.

    Dino leans against the counter, crossing his arms over his chest. He’s guarding himself. I can see it. He’s waiting for the I forgot my charger or I need you to sign an NDA.

    “Car trouble?” he asks.

    “No,” I say. I take a step further into the room. “Well. There was… an incident.”

    Dino straightens up instantly. The mechanic mode kicks in. “An incident?”

    “I was at the light,” I say. “At 45th and the south on-ramp.”

    I catch sight of the red rag in his fist.

    Red.

    The red light was glaring overhead. The dashboard was fine. 

    Tick. Tick. Tick.

    The light turned green.

    The arrow pointed right—toward the freeway, toward the eighty-hour weeks, toward the candy dish.

    My grasp on the wheel tightened.

    A horn honked behind me. A split-second trigger.

    I hit the gas and my hands staged a mutiny.

    I malfunctioned—

    Yanked the wheel. Left.

    The truck in the left lane caught my driver’s side door, unzipping the metal with a shuddering crunch.

    I spun out, wet tires losing their grip, and came to a halt perpendicular to the traffic, blocking all three lanes. A chaos of horns erupted around me, but all I could hear was a soft, musical sound.

    The side mirror was shattered, tiny fragments raining down onto the wet asphalt. It sounded like a broken Christmas ornament.

    Tinkle. Tinkle. Tinkle.

    In the moment I heard Steven’s voice in my head, talking about love and commitment: Somewhere between Christmas morning and being buried alive.

    “I turned left,” I tell Dino, snapping back to the present. “From the right lane. It was… not an efficient maneuver.”

    “You turned left?” Dino is staring at me. “Into traffic?”

    “Into… traffic.” I let out a shaky breath. “Not very strategic.”

    “Avery?” Dino comes around the counter in two strides, his eyes scanning me—checking for blood, for a concussion, ignoring the car entirely. “Are you okay?”

    “I’m fine. No one was hurt. Just my pride.”

    I spare him the details of the last six hours: taking a breathalyzer, sitting in Urgent Care to verify I didn’t have a concussion, and trying to explain the inexplicable to a Geico rep named Brenda.

    Dino exhales, running a hand through his hair. He walks past me to the window. He looks out into the wet parking lot.

    The Audi is parked right out front, sitting directly under the shop’s old neon sign: GUS COOPER AUTO REPAIR.

    The “RE” is still shorting out in a repeating stutter.

    REPAIR PAIR REPAIR.

    The red light washes over the crumpled side of my car.

    Dino whistles low. “Not totaled.”

    “No,” I say. “It runs. It’s drivable.”

    The driver side doors are deeply gouged, the rear crunched. The side mirror cap is gone, the shattered mirror too.

    It’s broken, battered, but parked exactly where it needs to be.

    “But I figure… it’s probably not good for long drives anymore,” I say. “Not for eight hundred miles.”

    Dino turns to face me.

    “So?” he asks.

    “So,” I say, my voice steadying. “I figured it’s probably better to keep it local. Stay close to home. Here.”

    Dino’s eyes search mine, looking for the flight risk, the consultant, the exit strategy.

    “And,” I continue. “It’s going to need some work. It’s pretty banged up. It’s going to take some time to hammer out the dents.”

    “Body work usually does,” Dino agrees softly.

    “I was hoping I could get a mechanic to take a look,” I say. “Maybe take it for a test drive. See how far we can go.”

    Dino looks at me. He looks at the wet windbreaker, the exhausted eyes. I hope he hears the trembling certainty in my voice.

    Slowly, he sets the red rag onto the counter.

    The corners of his eyes crinkle. A toothy grin spreads across his face—the kind that starts small and ends up lighting up the entire city.

    “I can help with that,” he says.

  • New World Rush

    Dustlands Crossing

    Dust flew up under steps, stuck to sweaty ankles, clogged crotchrag. Rake strode ahead — red mohawk tousled, bare ripped torso, nipple rings gleaming in the sun, crotchrag low, his cock swinging heavy between legs, blaster dangling on thigh. Kicked a chunk of rusted metal — clanged, flew aside.

    — Yo, bros, we’ll cut through that slope faster. In Nexus Ashfall we’ll dump the dust for double price, — he tossed back, not turning, step not slowing.

    Kite lunged closer, slapped Rake’s ass — palm smacked wet on sweat.

    — Fuck, Rake, you always know! What if gangs prowl there?

    Rake snorted, shoved with shoulder — Kite rocked, but laughed, body slippery from dust and sweat.

    — Time’s worth more, bro. Cocks chafing in crotchrag, and we’re dragging ass.

    Steps hummed steady, cocks rubbed on rough cloth, sweat ran down thighs, mixing with dust into crust. Mud slowed, shook his pack — canteens clinked.

    — From common stores, bros. Two gulps water, half handful dust — fair, fuck. Less means more profit in Ashfall.

    Poured into Kite’s palms — he gulped greedy, drops ran down chest, mixed with sweat.

    — Yo, cheapskate! Gimme full portion!

    Mud grumbled, elbowed:

    — Eat less — more profit later.

    Ash held out palm silent, took his share, dust settled on calluses. Water slid on skin, mixed with salt, palm got sticky.

    Steps resumed, heavier. Sand, thrall, still thinking his slavery temporary but already third year in a row renewing slave contract, usually hauling his load at the rear, stepped forward, ribs showing under dry skin, pack pounding back, torn gray crotchrag flapping, lockcage underneath pressing, metal growing into skin. He pressed thigh to Kite’s mechanically — friction, sweat slippery, drop of precum crawled out from lockcage and ran down thigh.

    Kite shoved with elbow, joking:

    — Not now, bitch. Save strength for the haul, or you won’t drag that pack.

    Sand said nothing, evened his step, friction died.

    Full stop — dust hung. Veer squinted right, nodded sharp.

    — Fresh tracks. Chain Collectors.

    Rake froze, pause hung — blaster on thigh shifted when he turned.

    — Shit. We’ll take that trail. Against body traders even my blaster won’t always save us.

    Kite chuckled nervous:

    — You blaze that blaster often, bro?

    — Happens! — Rake snapped.

    Mud spat into dust:

    — We’ll burn what we could’ve sold on the road.

    — Ok, veer off, — Kite stepped after.

    Eyes slid over horizon, shoulders tensed, sweat chilled on backs. Rake nodded — go quiet. Ash sped step, breaths synced, cocks rubbed harder in crotchrag, cloth soaked.

    Dust settled behind, tracks erased. Trail narrowed, packs dug deeper.

    Camp and Evening

    Bodies sprawled by fire — logs crackled, sweaty backs slapped ground, crotchrag shifted aside, cocks hung heavy. Rake sat first, legs spread, cock swinging between thighs, sweat ran down veins.

    — Yo, fire burns, fuck.

    Kite flopped beside, body slick, chest heaving.

    — All day’s heat pooled in ass, cock stood from fire sight alone.

    Mud shook Rush packs — sticky, warm.

    — Rush stores — even shares, bros.

    Dealt out — gulps greedy, sticky heat hit veins, bodies warmed from inside.

    — Half portion per head. Don’t waste — save for Ashfall, — Mud grumbled.

    Kite grabbed his:

    — Gimme my dose, bro! Cock stood from fire sight, fuck.

    Rake snorted, took portion, gulp — fire spread in veins.

    — Need strength tomorrow.

    Ash took silent, sat aside — shoulders massive, sweat ran down beard. Veer eyed dark, gulp quiet, body tensed.

    Bodies pulled closer, shoulders rubbing, Rush burned skin. Kite turned to Sand:

    — Yo, Sand, ass up? Shitty day.

    Sand ripped off crotchrag and got on all fours, baring dry hole. Kite spat in hole to wet it, fingered massage, then pressed tongue and started licking hole greedy. Spit ran down balls.

    — I’m ready, Sir…

    Kite thrust sharp, ripping tight hole, kid twisted but strong hands of his fucker held him down from above, moan loud, chaotic.

    Mud stepped closer. “Kite, open mouth, bitch,” he said. Thrust into mouth no time to think, rhythm rough, held kid by hair. “Go on, fuck the bitch, I’ll dump in you,” Mud growled. Kite whined from pleasure; he loved getting fucked by the fire. Mud came quick, cum ran down Kite’s chin and he like happy dog gulp fast and stuck out tongue, Mud gave friendly slap and spat in mouth to finish fuck.

    “With soul, bro,” Kite blurted and focused on Sand’s ass, fucked through, slave under him leaked. Then reached for Rake, body shining:

    — Rake, come on, chain in, bro!

    Rake waved off:

    — Nah, I’ll hold. Strength needed tomorrow.

    Ash watched — cock twitched in crotchrag, but he stayed aside. Veer watched, touched neither self nor guys.

    Kite pulled cock out and with loud exhale hosed hot stream white boy cum on Sand’s back.

    “Step off.” Veer waved to Kite. Kite got he’d catch more, went after buddy into shadow. “Ass?” Veer ignoring question silent grabbed guy by head, set on knees and technically fucked mouth. Dumped sharp, quiet growl. Pulled crotchrag right up and back to fire. Kite savored second cum dose evening.

    — Fuck, I came kinda weak somehow, — Kite wouldn’t quit, — Rake, come on?

    — Fuck off, I’ll decide when to fuck.

    Mud spat:

    — Right, profit beats cock in hole.

    Cum dried on Sand’s skin, sweat ran, ass wet from fuck, cock in cage from leaking precum. Kite licked lips tasting remnants in mouth. Fire died, bodies lay, sat — weight in muscles, Rush held heat inside.

    Rake tugged nipple ring:

    — Dude, Sand, that enough for you?

    — Yeah… — Sand exhaled, gaze empty.

    Talk of Nexus Ashfall

    Silence hung, fire smoked. Bodies cooled after long haul, cum dried on Sand’s back, day-sweaty cock and balls dried, fire died. Sand lay aside, ribs rose even.

    Ash sat aside, cock soft in crotchrag, silent. Veer eyed dark, body tensed.

    Mud poked Rush remnants in pack — bodies pulled closer to fire, heat scorched skin.

    — In Ashfall dump dust double price. Good earn, bros.

    Kite chuckled, sweat dropped from temple:

    — Yo, neon, fresh boys! Adventure, fuck!

    Rake nodded, fire reflected in eyes:

    — Choice there, grab contract, Rush cheap. Cool.

    Ash grumbled from shadow:

    — If we make it.

    Rake eyed sky, pause hung — horizon darkened. Veer shifted, shoulders clenched.

    — Chain Collectors love prowling near walls, assholes.

    Kite laughed nervous:

    — Yo, we tough guys, or what, piss-scared pussies?

    Sand whispered:

    — Contract there…

    Fire faded, bodies stilled, sweat chilled.

    Rake spat in dust:

    — Ashfall good choice sure, but risks. Ok, sort tomorrow.

    Silence thickened, Rush warmed inside, but night pressed.

    First Visual Touch of Ashfall

    Group hit raised point — dust hung in haze, legs burned. Sat, dropped — packs dug backs, didn’t drop.

    — Hold, — Rake tossed.

    Kite flopped:

    — Fuck, legs burn, bitch.

    Sand dropped by Ash, pressed mechanical — shoulder to shoulder, alien heat.

    Walls showed through haze — metal lines, then shape, breaths deep, shoulders rub, muscles stretch with crack.

    Kite exhaled:

    — Well, looks like spot to get stuck. Neon, and young meat sucks!

    Mud squinted:

    — At gates by evening if no dumb. Dust double price.

    Rake nodded:

    — Make gates evening. Want club, techno, Rush cheap.

    Veer eyed above — shadows over walls, silent. Ash stood separate, eyed space before walls, beard dusty.

    — I’d stay wastes, calmer here, — Ash grumbled.

    Sand whispered:

    — Contract…

    — Ok, rest five minutes — then go.

    Rake stood, guys pulled — fresh sweat ran down shoulders hauling load. Ashfall hung distant — close, tempting, crushing.

  • New neighbor Jed

    My townhouse was small but all mine. It was a 15 feet wide, three story with a basement. There was a 8 foot front yard and a 20 foot back yard that I hoped one day would be a garden/patio. My neighbors on each side were also new owners, young like me. The area, old town, was on the river across from the busy capitol city, bordered on three sides by parkland and an airport. I’d been in the house for only a week when Jed, my hunk next door neighbor, came over to introduce himself. Like me he was single and in his first home. I invited him in apologizing for the unpacked boxes. As we sat over beers he filled me in on the area. He also told me of the two gyms he belonged to, one with an indoor pool. The YMCA had the pool and a nice gym. Most of its members were older but friendly types. I thanked him telling him that the YMCA was my likely choice once I finally got settled.

    The next Saturday morning I was out front getting my bike ready for an hour long ride when Jed came out on his own bike. He asked if he could join me on the bike trail that ran alongside the river? I said “Great, at least I won’t get too lost.” We rode for half an hour down the trail, stopping for a soda and a bottle of water before heading back home. On that ride he warned me about going too far off the trail into the woods. He told me that there were guys who hung around back in those woods for sex. My ears perked up at that. I joked with him telling him that was good to know in case I needed a blow job. He laughed at that comment. We finished the ride at the Farmers market on the town square a few blocks from our homes. I said goodbye to him and pushed my bike into the hallway inside my front door. I headed into my newly installed large shower to clean up.

    I spent the rest of the day unpacking boxes and setting up my laptop, printer, and wifi connection. I decided to BBQ my dinner out back. Jed was on his patio working online, I invited him to join me. He came over stlll wearing his biker shorts that gave me a view of his good sized cock and large balls, Over the meal of steaks he asked if I was seeing anyone special or just hanging out. I told him that for the last four years I’d been too busy with getting settled at work and grad school to have a social life. He told me of three places in the area where I might meet people. I commented that I was mostly a loner, spending a lot of time reading or on the net. He said, “Somedays I feel just like that. But then I hit the gym for a few hours, does wonders for me.” I commented that I’d heard about a place in the city that had great Italian meals for a good price. We spent the night together mostly talking about our lives. I had a feeling that he wanted to tell me more but was hesitant. Couldn’t blame him he’d only known me for a few weeks.

    I set up a sun lounger in the back yard and decided to get a good overall tan, naked. Jed was the only one who might see me so I figured why not if it might tempt him a little. I’d been out there an hour when I heard his backdoor shut and he came to the fence. He was not shocked in fact he said “Looking Good guy!” I didn’t bother covering up as he stood talking not four feet away. I did notice him adjusting himself in his skimpy, tight biker shorts. I joked “Sorry if this excites anyone who might be looking.” He let out a long breath then said frustrated “Fuck you look way too good right now! I’d love to be there with you.” I said “Well, you know that you’re welcomed anytime for whatever you might need?” He pulled off his biker shorts throwing them at me. I picked them up laughing then putting them to my face saying “Smells like a real man.”

    Jed laughed jumping over the waist high fence to tackle my naked body on the dirt of my yard. He’d pinned me down, both of us naked now. I could feel his hardness press against my own. His smiling face inches above my own. He whispered “You’ve teased me for way too long. Now I’m gonna take what I need so badly.” His lips descended to mine met with my own eager need. He pulled from the kiss saying “Let’s take this inside where I can show you how I really feel?” He got up. I could see the thin line of his fluid from his tip down to my crotch. He pulled me to my feet. I headed Inside with his hand on my ass. In my bedroom he held me tight saying “I need to be inside you. I don’t care if its just this once or forever.” He kissed my neck as we fell back on the bed. He spread my legs open leaving me with no doubt as to his intentions. I looked at his serious face before pulling him down for a deep kiss as I wrapped my legs around his hips to position him at my entrance. My message was clear to him as he moaned his approval.

    Jed eased into my body slowly savoring every inch of me. My moans only encouraged him to satisfy us both. An hour later we uncoupled and headed for my large shower. As we were drying off Jed said “This may sound stupid, but I’d like to take you out on a date, a real one. How about dinner and a late movie? But we’ll end the night in my bed this time?” In a mock southern accent I said “Why sir, I am flattered by your kind offer and look forward to an enjoyable evening with such a handsome gentleman.” He slapped my naked ass saying “Be ready in ten minutes and remember tonight I expect a nice reward to end the date.” 
      Ten minutes later there was a knock at my front door. Jed stood there smiling with a rose in his hand. He handed me the rose saying “For someone who has taken my heart away.” We went to a steakhouse for dinner. Jed said that we’d need the meal to give him energy for his dessert later at his place. We made it to a classic movie at 11PM before getting to his house at 1AM and our dessert which lasted hours. I think that the date sealed a firm union for us that was going to last a long time. Eventually we joined the two houses together as we realized that we too have joined together.
