I
GROWING UP YOUNG
I liked Herb and Lianne--him for his smooth reserve and pride in his wife's charms, her for her interest in others and her broad humor, and both for their mature beauty and abundant sexual energy. Angela and I look forward to their company on future occasions. Although we are young, my step-sister and I have had some unusual experiences ourselves; and our relationship with the Woods has been warm and rewarding.
My own interest in sex developed early and strong. Many of its mysteries were solved by Angela's coming to live with us, which lasted only a brief few months because the thunderbolt of losing both parents sent us in different directions--me to a boys' boarding school, Angela to live with her Aunt Louise through her early college years.
Imagine the loneliness of a seventeen-year-old boy, suddenly bereft of family, arriving at a strange new school in January! Although the campus was beautiful, the food excellent, and the masters nice, all my friends were two hundred miles away. It was a bleak few weeks before I got to know John Stanton, a lacrosse teammate who was also in my advanced placement classes. His father was something in the State Department. I liked him because he was loaded with energy--hustling on the field and making interesting comments in class. But best because he was friendly and kind of adopted me. Consequently I was overjoyed that he asked me to be his roommate senior year.
Perhaps I was idealizing this relationship, but from being devastated by personal loss, in six months I had become the best friend of a bright and attractive campus leader. He certainly was very good-looking. Let me speak the truth: I had a crush on John. On the other hand, I did not perceive myself as the minor partner: I got the better grades in class and my athletic skills were on a par with his.
Physically we were much alike--nearly mirrored figures--six feet tall, weighing 150 pounds. John was a dark-eyed brunette, though not hairy; I'm a blue-eyed blond. Our physical commonality did not stop there: in the locker room we suffered the embarrassment of having the largest penises. John took his hanging in stride; and his nonchalant carriage helped me--somewhat--to be at ease with my length. He told me the other guys were jealous.
John's personal openness became more evident in our first weeks as roommates. Arising from bed one morning, he sauntered past me with a strong erection visible through his pajama bottoms. A spreading patch of fresh semen darkened the blue material just below the waist tie. This glimpse of his brimming sexual power and energy I found oddly thrilling. His letting me see reminded me of Angela's casual nudity. In both cases I very much wanted to see more. John, like Angela, did not disappoint. Two or three more times, without trying, I got to see him bare with a hard on; and there was more evidence of morning masturbation. (I mean, wet dreams, like menstruation, are monthly phenomena—not nightly.)
I was surprised by the pleasure I got from his artless exhibitions. Realizing that he wanted me to admire those erections, I pondered the possibility that he’d like to be fondled and jerked off as realistic and attractive. In truth, I wanted to play with John’s handsome cock and perhaps jerk him off. I started to get erections myself thinking about John. My own arousals had been heretofore private affairs, but now I wanted my secret sharer to know the real me; and the next time I got a hard on in our shower I kept it and moved naked in front of John in the bedroom.
"Oh, wow, Bill, that's a beauty! I bet you'd like to give it to some girl."
"Oh, yeah," I returned, not moving out of John's view and in no way hurrying to dress--my full eight inches rock-hard, proud at John's approval.
The floodgates were now open for confessions of our sexual experience: John's frustrated virginity; my recent action with Angela, whom I had fucked all summer.
During that vacation period things progressed rapidly, practically as soon as I got home. Sometimes she'd come and sit on my bed with her pajama top three buttons open and tell me about some of her hot dates at college. She definitely wanted me to see her big boobs. I vividly recall her request for a towel from the linen closet and thanking me mid-floor in our bathroom, pink, dewy, and proud. "Do you like my tits?" she asked. She did have big swingers and their broad pink tips glowed and grew pointy to her touch.
And then it was my touch, and things progressed from there. We had fondling sessions, in which she showed me how to massage her "little-man-in-the-boat;" and I got so good at it that the next week we were fucking on the bathroom floor.
Consequently, in my bull sessions with John, I was the master teacher. I wanted to tell John all about everything, except I made a snap judgment to substitute the name of Sally Pew, my attractive hometown neighbor, for Angela. I luxuriated in describing for John Angela's beauty and teachings--anonymously, as it were. God! I hoped he would never meet Sally Pew. As the weeks wore on, we practiced some of my learnings. He wanted to know how to kiss properly, and he got very good at it. I mean he was one passionate guy. "Your strong, deep tongue action," I professed, "is symbolic of your desire to fuck the girl, and her sucking your tongue tells you she wants it."
We would take turns being the girl, and play with our lovers' cocks as we'd like our girls to do. John made me so horny that I told him a good girl would suck too! And he willingly became my first guy. I loved him so much I said he could come in my mouth. I could anticipate his gift by his arching back, tightening buttocks, and fierce cradling of my head. There was no more morning masturbation. I guess I had been jealous of the blue pajama bottoms.
The truth is I'm not homosexual with generic men. Guys can strike me as so-so attractive, but it stops there. With John, on the other hand, I was sexually his, I rationalized, because, as my best friend and confidant, he was an aspect of myself. I wanted his pleasure as my own. This line of thinking generated my deep desire that Angela herself enjoy the strong virgin spurts of John's beautiful cock and that he, as a part of me, the moist, sweet warmth of her ready pussy. That she was now on the pill meant that she could accommodate the pent-up lust of his godlike body. It would be a couple of years before I told him I was in love with Angela; so I sidled into my fantasy with the information that my nineteen-year-old step-sister, who had big melons and had become sexually active, might be talked into having a date with him. He became decidedly interested. The windows of opportunity were Christmas and Easter vacations; and, with John's family in Turkey, I inveigled an invitation from Angela's aunt for him to come along with me to The Buttonwoods.
It happened perfectly. Angela was game, although we agreed that they should play it by ear and that I should hold my brotherly love in check while John was visiting. Holy smokes, how I would have loved to watch, unseen! At any rate, Auntie assigned John to the guest bedroom so that their privacy was assured. Shortly it became clear that they were much taken with each other. Angela was refreshed and uplifted by John's exuberance as I continued to be.
After graduation John, Angela, and I remained lovers for the next three years--until John's sudden death in November of our junior year at Princeton. Returning from Thanksgiving Break, he was killed in a senseless car accident. The horror of it still haunts us.
Besides John, I made two other wonderful friends at school: they were my lacrosse coach, Reggie Pope, and his wife Becky, who later became my English teacher. They welcomed me into their home shortly after I went out for lacrosse. As "Uncle Herman," my godfather, really didn't have much time for me, this young couple became the chief adults in my life. The dynamic Becky, who honed my writing skills and massaged my manhood, was twenty-eight years old when, with Reggie's blessings, she took me as her "co-marital lover," as she called it. She combined English instruction with our sex. In helping me to forestall ejaculation, she said that I should keep my poise as Robert Frost's swinger of birches climbed to the topmost branches toward heaven, carefully without spilling. Then at the very top we could both go down together.
After graduation I continued to send Becky the stuff I had written, and we've continued to meet for cultural and sexual events, which have been more frequent since I attained my majority. They've even welcomed Angela at our get-togethers to keep Reggie company.
II THE BEST MAN
My college English profs encouraged my bent for writing, and upon graduation I got an assistantship at a Big 10 university to work toward a Master of Fine Arts degree. After I had two stories published, my advisor wanted me to help him put on a series of summer seminars for young writers up in Michigan. That was my first paying job, and it coincided with Angela's research year in Africa. John, snatched from us forever; Angela, half a world away; and the Popes two states removed--I had been willingly celibate for four months. But settling into the "campus" on the shore of Big Beaver Pond with forty lightly clad high school boys and girls drifting joyously about, my sap began to rise again.
