Shit, what a week, Sam thought as he lay down on the chaise lounge on his deck. He sipped his beer and closed his eyes.
Budget week was always hell on Capitol Hill. First, it was closer to two weeks, and it meant 16-hour days, nights on the office couch, triple checking thousand line- item drafts coming out of the Appropriations Committee, updating the boss and his boss, overseeing your own staff, fighting with the Republicans on the other side, making sure all the paperwork was done, ad infinitum.
Sam worked for the Democratic side of a U.S. House Committee. Most of the time his job consisted of research, some writing, and making sure the members, i.e., Congress-people, were happy. Then, there was budget week.
It was the late 1970s and Sam was enjoying a relaxing beverage as he sat on the balcony of his DuPont Circle apartment in Washington D.C. The sun was down and street noise rising as folks rushed to Friday night activities.
'I am going to hang here, sleep late, and enjoy a do-nothing weekend,' he thought from his second-floor deck. There was a noise from the balcony directly above, the top floor. A chair moved; two guys were talking. Wait ... what did that guy say?
Sam's view of the balcony above was blocked by an outdoor carpet the tenant had laid across his deck. The conversation, however, stirred Sam's imagination.
"He is very good looking, but he seemed down to Earth," said a voice that sounded like a young white guy. "He was flirting with me, but I was working, and the owner was there so I had to pretend I wasn't interested."
There was a second voice. "I saw him, well, think it was him, in a loop at a dirty bookstore. He was pretty hot," said the second man. It sounded like a black guy a few years older than the white kid. "I lost my concentration when a guy whispered to me from a glory hole."
Sam met the tenant above when the man moved in and since then Sam had made a point of saying hello while getting mail and passing on the stairs. He was a sexy black guy, well-built, friendly smile but aloof. He seemed very straight, sometimes he wore a military uniform, recalled Sam. So ... he was gay? And who was the white guy?
"What did you do?" asked the young voice. "If I saw you in a dirty bookstore I'd fight to get in your booth. I'd blow you while you watched a fuck movie."
"That's not going to happen," the older man said. "I was on leave somewhere out West. I am not going with you to any X-rated store."
"I can dream can't I," said the white guy. "Do you want another beer? I'm going to look at the steaks."
Feet hit the deck above and someone went into the apartment. 'The white guy is checking on dinner and the two of them are ... lovers?' thought Sam. 'Why else would two men who lived near DuPont Circle, gay center of DC, be talking about glory holes?'
Sam learned later he was overhearing Jamie and Robert, a white youth and black man who had found each other at the 7th Street YMCA in 1978 as the gay movement grew. For a brief moment the two men saw their fantasies fulfilled. Jamie was an eager youth seeking a demanding daddy; Robert wanted a submissive lad eager to follow orders.
The young guy called out 'dinner's ready' and feet walked on the deck above. Sam sipped his drink and filed the information away. He closed his eyes, relaxing in the Spring warmth. He slept.
Sam woke. It was dark. He was groggy. Streetlight filtered through the trees created shadows filled with silence. There was a rustling sound from the deck above. There was a moan.
Sam stopped breathing. There was a familiar sound. It was wet, liquid moving on something. There was another moan. Wait a second. That's ... that's ... it's a blow job, Sam realized. The sound was that slurpy wet noise of a mouth moving up and down on an erect cock, the saliva and precum flowing as the sucker's hand jacks the stiff shaft. Sam had heard plenty of blowjobs. He had given some and he had gotten a few.
"Fuck, boy ... damn ... suck it," said the deep, sexy voice that Sam figured was the older black guy. 'Hell, the guy's probably my age,' thought 31-year-old Sam.
Someone in the street below yelled and people laughed. Must be 2 a.m., bars are closing, thought Sam. There was a lull on the deck above. Then the black man spoke in a husky, half-moan, "Shit yea ... lick those balls."
Someone moved off the patio couch above, a man stood up.
"Stay right there boy ... stay right there ... I'm going to fuck that pretty mouth ..." the man commanded. "Here you go, take it boy ... Hmmm, hmmm ... take that black cock."
A deep moan, wasn't the top guy doing the talking, thought Sam, must be the young white guy. Rustling, moving. The slurping stopped and someone inhaled.
"Need to catch my breath," said the youth. The slurping started again, stopped.
"Put some lube in my butt daddy," whispered the voice. "I want to suck you while you finger my ass. ... ohh shit." A pause and the blow job started again.
Sam figured the daddy was getting his fingers in the kid's ass, stretching him out, getting him ready, while the young guy went back to worshipping cock. These guys are hot, thought Sam as he rubbed his dick through his pants. He realized he had been so worn out he had fallen asleep in his office clothes.
"Come here boy. Sit on my cock," breathed the top. Someone stood up, feet shuffled, and one foot came down hard. The kid was straddling the couch, positioning his hole to take some dick, thought Sam.
"You be quiet boy. Can't have none of your screeching," whispered the man. "You need to yell, you bite daddy's shoulder. You got that boy?"
"Go slow daddy, go slow ... Oh fuuuuck ... go slow ... Ungghhh," the young guy grunted.
Sam knew fat daddy dick had just gotten lodged in the lad's tight butt. He remembered he had seen a white youth dressed in short cut-off jeans going up the stairs. They had exchanged looks but the kid kept walking.
'Damn, you lucky dog,' thought Sam of the older man. 'Don't blame you, that is one cute ass.'
Sam heard the couch creak, straining to hold the lovers as they tried to move quietly. There was the familiar fuck sound of skin slapping against skin, as the kid moved his butt up and down and the black guy groaned. Both were breathing heavy, then the kid let out a little high-pitched cry, 'Unnghh.'
"Shhhh boy, shhhh," said the top. The humping stopped. "Take it easy kid, let it happen." Movement began again.
"Go slow daddy ... Hunnh," the kid said, voice hushed, the fat black cock in his ass sending him to heaven.
"That's it boy, that's it ... give it to daddy, give it to daddy," the black man whispered in time with his thrusts. The boy's muffled grunts rose in intensity, the tempo of the slapping grew faster and the breathing louder. They were close.
The couch squeaked and its legs rocked as the two voices combined, "Oh yea ... Hunnh hunnh hunhh," neither able to control their noise and spasming bodies, the big man letting out an extended groan as he pumped his load, and the boy released a muted sigh as he felt daddy's sperm coat his anus.
The two caught their breath, then silence. City sounds covered up the sounds of the lovers. A bus coughed and changed gears, then Sam heard kissing and the couch creak as the lovers got comfortable.
"That was good kid," said the black man as the smooching continued. The youth responded, "Thank you daddy." Both of them groaned simultaneously and said 'Shiit.' Sam assumed the stud's cock had gone limp and fallen out of the bottom's butt. Someone stepped away from the couch, then returned.
"That was hot," said the youth. More kissing.
The lovers gathered their clothes and went into the apartment. A light went out.
'Wow. That was ... Wow,' thought Sam. 'Those two sounded hot as hell. Two horny studs right above me.'
He mulled it over. 'I'd go to bed with either of them or both of them at once,' he grinned. 'I'll have to bump into the black guy, accidently on purpose. See where it goes.'
He rose silently, went into his apartment, and quietly closed his balcony door.
**********
Sam got up late. It was Saturday. He had cancelled plans because he knew that the budget week process would be all-consuming. Now it was done, and he wanted to enjoy a lazy day.
Sam was gay. A recent romance had gone sour, and he was free man again. Not like he and his lover had been exclusive to each other but Sam had enjoyed being close to one guy. Oh well.
He skipped his usual Saturday run, took a shower and hit the streets, checking out the boys in their skimpy summer shorts and tight T-shirts that showed off muscles built in gyms over the winter. I love spring, Sam laughed.
Sam was an attractive guy with a promising career. He was thirty-one and had risen to a position of influence on Capitol Hill. His job demanded he act straight and look straight -- short hair, Brooks Brothers suit, no clone mustache.
He fit in with the gay scene of the late 1970s, keeping in shape with Nautilus workouts, bicycling, and dancing at the clubs. He stayed limber with yoga, and every day he defined his arms and tightened his stomach with the three ups -- sit ups, push-ups and chin ups.
Sam fit a gay fantasy of the day. Six-foot tall, trim, sharp features, built torso and round butt. He wasn't effeminate. "Straight acting and appearing" was the phrase.
He wandered into a popular bookstore and got bored with all the young women in the place. Gays helped to revitalize this neighborhood, Sam thought, now the ladies have decided it's hip to be here. Oh well.
He walked around the corner to Surging Rainbow, the gay bookstore. Nothing on the 'new in-stock' table grabbed him, a disappointment as he had hoped to pick up a history of gay New York that had gotten good reviews. He couldn't find it and approached the check-out desk.
