Aspen Spring Week
Former porn star meets current rock star
This is a totally fanciful story. I had prepared it last year for an Easter submission, but things got too busy. (I'm still working on the series I started a few weeks ago.) All characters and places are fictional, despite any resemblance to real figures (assuming that any entertainer is "real"). All characters engaged in sex (even if they self-ignite from the passion) are over 18. © Copyright, Brunosden, 2025. All rights reserved.

This story is true--or at least as true as any other story you read in the International Enquirer. It tells how I spent one of the most exciting weeks of my life, and how it set my life on a new course. Aspen is still talking about the non-X-rated aspects of the tale. If only they knew the whole story.
It was Easter Week in Aspen, and Easter was late this year--mid-April. Typically this week signaled the end of the ski season for our famous resort, but given the lateness of the holiday and the unpredictability of the impacts of climate change, even the snow-making equipment found it difficult to keep even a small amount of new snow on many of the slopes. Fuck, it was 70 degrees at the base of the mountain at mid-day!
This is a very busy time--with a combination of college spring break skiers and family time, spread over a few weeks as the various school vacations permitted families to travel together. But, this was the peak week, and the hotels were all jammed; the restaurants, all booked; the rentals, all full.
At City Hall, I was fielding emails, txts and calls--as though I controlled the weather! Aspen had more than 5000 visitors (assuming the day skiers from nearby Denver or Colorado Springs decided to stay home thanks to the conditions on the mountains). They wouldn't be able to ski; there were only a few arcades; really no museums; and only one movie theatre that held up to 400. Spring break college students and families didn't typically spend their days shopping in the expensive shops that lined the small downtown streets. If I didn't do something, we were going to lose a lot of money and we might lose their future patronage--and the hotel owners and merchants were calling every five minutes to ask, "What the hell are you going to do?"
Did they think I was God? I've been called that by many of my partners in the heat of a fuck, but they didn't really mean it, I assume.
On the other side of town, in a large rental property, ten UColo students were equally perplexed. They had come to ski. The last week of the year. The two late night pan-sexual dance clubs downtown were an added draw for them--but only after ten. And they all realized upon arrival that they should have watched the conditions more closely. There was no snow. What the fuck could they possibly do in this expensive little place? They had brought booze and weed for a week of après-ski, but hadn't planned for whole days off the slopes. They were all members of the CGMSC (Colo Gay Men's Ski Club)--better known as the "Gay Poles." Sexual activity was a given--but it needed to broken up with at least some skiing! Somehow, I thought they'd survive. Maybe they'd invite me to help.
I'm new to Aspen--Josh Reynolds, City Manager. This is my first ski season in the job. My family was originally from Old Virginia stock, but my father had moved to California in the 70s, after college, joined the counter-culture, ultimately married Mom and got a real job, and moved to Orange County where I was raised.
I graduated a few years ago from UCLA with a double major. I started in city management studies. Then, after appearing in a production, added drama, music and dance courses. I was going to try my luck at hitting it big on the screen or possibly the musical stage. Like so many others, I had taken on multiple minimum wage jobs while I auditioned for role after role, all unsuccessfully.
I did get one "break" of sorts (that is, a specific part of my anatomy): I had an anonymous 20 second stand-in "bare ass" double for my namesake. (It took well over an hour of filming for those seconds. And yeah, I could pass as a twin for the other famous Reynolds so there was a good deal of ogling. I think there were a few surreptitious photos taken to be sold as "celebrity porn.") They offered me a permanent slot dubbing for him, "butt" I didn't see the future. Maybe if they had also shot my dick.
I was in debt, sleeping on couches in friends' living rooms--rotating among them so as not to wear out a welcome, borrowing from the folks now and then. I was desperate.
Finally, there had been a breakthrough of sorts--my workouts, grooming and natural attributes paid off. I was invited to audition at Bad Boys' Club Films--a porn film producer. At first I had refused--not because I'm a prude, but out of fear that a porn appearance would destroy my "legitimate" career. Fuck, what career? But a month later, hungry and at the end of my rope, I had called and scheduled an audition, realizing that I'd have to get naked and fuck or be fucked to have any chance of getting a job. At the time I was bi, and not getting much action from either side of the aisle. But, nudity and sex were never an issue for me.
I was right on both accounts. Both the "director" and the cameraman managed to plug me. The screen tests--with me as both top and bottom--were returned a few days later, and preliminary audience testing suggested potential porn stardom. In other words, gays liked my bod.
God has really blessed me with looks, presence and charm. I've got what they call "wholesome cowboy good-looks." I'm just under six feet, gym-toned, with a squared symmetrical face that the camera loves. Dark "smoldering" eyes set in a perpetually tanned face. Shaggy dark hair (typically barbered at the kitchen sink with grocery shears), thin lips and a five o'clock shadow that appears at 11 a.m. And, yes, I'm hung, a shower/grower, uncut and groomed. In short, a gay dream. A man's man that takes and gives cock with equal attitude. I come on with boyish innocence and finish with take-charge athletic sex. I can play a top or a bottom with equal enthusiasm and success. If necessary, I can pound away for 20 minutes or so without cummin.
Over the next two years, I had performed as Slade Dagger in more than fifty porn flics, several of which had won AVN awards, the Oscars of Porn. Although I had a huge following on social media, the audience was narrow, and the film life of a porn star is limited. I was nearing the end of that part of my career--having appeared with several dozen of the other porn stars of the moment. Gay porn is very fickle. In one rear, out the next--so to speak.
I had always been an avid skier--although post-UCLA, I had little money to pursue that passion. One of my (Slade Dagger's) fans had learned of my passion and invited me via Grndr to a weekend of skiing at Aspen where his folks had a condo. I paid for the weekend with my ass. He was a good skier, but not as good at sex as he thought himself to be. It was an incredible weekend of athletic skiing, and, if the truth be known, not really so bad après-ski. My host was a really good guy--a pro football hunk, but he was predictably a professed top. He assumed I was his willing boy-bottom. He found out before we left that he also really enjoyed being under me (or riding me). He was really vers, a bottom for the right cock.
While there, I had met Kirk Matthews, the middle-aged tourism manager for Aspen, who also was gay, (and a DILF). We talked and danced at The Caribou Club's late gay night.
Kirk and I hit it off. We danced a bit--and thanks to the relaxation of the dress code on our night, after midnight, most of us were bare-chested and few were in knit boxers or even jocks or g-strings. Several guys invited me back to their place--including Kirk. But, I demurred from an assignation while there with my California fan. In my view, you go home with the guy that brought you.... That only made Kirk more interested. So he had persisted and I had accepted a return visit invitation in a week or so.
Kirk incidentally is about twenty years older than I, a trust fund kid, a "Daddy" type, but fit, reasonably endowed, total bottom and cock slut, and very appreciative of a really rough fuck. The return was a wonderful weekend on the slopes--and in his bed. Kirk turned out to be a power bottom with far more stamina than his age suggests. I also learned that he owned eight VRBO houses in Aspen, a restaurant, and actually was one of the political players in the little resort town.
Three weekends later, Kirk had dropped my resume (leaving out the film credits, emphasizing my management degree and experience) for the City Manager's slot. And, as they say, the rest is history. I moved to his bed for several weeks as I read into the job. Kirk and I still have a regular session now and then. But we've never clicked as a couple. Kirk, of course, knew of my past--and potential. But I never dreamed that a porn past might be an asset in this environment. I guess that's particularly true when the local political puppeteer is gay, wealthy and likes younger guys to fuck him.
So enough introduction. Back to the problem at hand....
