"Nice Shirt."
"Thanks," Eddie Bocco answered. The man who had swung into position in front of him on the dance floor of Club Hercules was gorgeous. He was massive, muscular, and black—a black black even for Africa. Coal black. In contrast to Eddie, the man wasn't wearing a shirt at all. His torso was god-like and gleaming with a thin veneer of sweat in the crowded, sweltering gay club. The building, in a high-walled compound, was hidden behind a warehouse on Ngalo Road in the Eastern suburb of Arusha, Tanzania, in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Eddie, a far creamier brown than the man dancing in front of him and towering over him despite the fact that Eddie wasn't exactly short himself, had chosen to go in brown himself when he'd set out to find the secluded club, hidden because Tanzanian laws weren't gay friendly. The T-shirt, over silky, brown, baggy shorts that matched Eddie's skin color, also was brown, its background motif being an endless array of coffee beans upon which the inscription, in white, of "Coffee, T, or Me" blazened across the chest. Despite his athletic build Eddie was a submissive bottom and the T-shirt was meant to convey that. He'd picked it out of a bin in an Abercrombie & Fitch store in New York because it was coffee—coffee plantations, to be precise—that had brought him to Tanzania. It was upscale enough in material and the tailored way it draped that it commanded attention here.
The T-shirt was a bit loose on Eddie's torso, although he was nicely muscled; it would have fit tight as a drum on the chest of the Tanzanian man who was gyrating in front of him, moving ever closer into him, and giving him a stripping assessment with his eyes. The grin on his face and his zeroing-in movement while swaying to the music signaled his interest. Eddie's eyes went to the man's crotch, and the bulge he saw there made him smile. Eddie wanted this man to fuck him. He jutted his pelvis out, and getting the signal, the man jutted his forward as well, and they were both swaying to the loud music with the heavy beat with their baskets rubbing against each other and their torsos arched back so that each could admire the psychic of the other. The nipples of both were taut and puckered, ready for sex. In a way, with their dicks rubbing against each other, they were having sex.
When the music stopped, Eddie found his face being pulled into that of the other man by a beefy hand cupping his neck. They kissed, with the man forcing Eddie's lips open with his and giving him tongue. Eddie liked a forceful man. He liked everything about this man. He wanted this man's dick inside him.
"My table's over there," Eddie said as they came out of the kiss. He pointed to the shadows back in a corner.
He turned and went to his table, assuming the man would follow him. He didn't, though. Eddie shrugged, pretending it didn't matter. The night was young. If nothing else, the luscious black bull had gotten Eddie's juices going. He went to his table and sat, reaching for the half-full bottle of Serengeti Premium he'd left there. The word "prombe" entered his mind, which was Swahili for "beer" the barman at Club Hercules had told him. It was the first word Eddie had learned in Swahili since landing in Tanzania from the States earlier in the afternoon.
He felt a hand on his shoulder, squeezing hard enough to make him wince, and the gorgeous black muscleman was there, banging a beer bottle down on the table top and pulling a chair up close, the back reversed to the table. The man was drinking a Bia Bingwa, a much stronger brew than Eddie's Serengeti Premium, he knew, from having quizzed the barman about the options. It made Eddie shudder deliciously at the thought of how much stronger the man seemed in every way.
Sinking onto his chair, very close beside Eddie, the man took a deep and noisy pull on his beer, set the bottle down, reached under the table top, and grabbed Eddie by the balls through the thin silk of his boxer shorts.
Eddie winced, nearly yelped, and turned his face to the man with a pained expression on his face, but he felt his legs go to rubber and spread apart as the man's hand squeezed, twisted, and released; squeezed, twisted, and released; squeezed and held. Eddie's eyes were watering, his dick hardening. His buttocks involuntarily pulled closer to the front of his chair and, with a laugh, the man took a fuller handful of balls and cock base. He came in for another, deeper, more possessive kiss than they'd engaged in on the dance floor. Eddie's moan was audible.
"You take it or give it—or both?" the man muttered as they came out of the kiss and he jutted his free arm between their bodies, grabbed his beer bottle and took another deep drink. He maintained his grip on Eddie's package with the other hand. His accent was thick, but his English was understandable. As Eddie couldn't speak a lick of Swahili, although he'd heard it often enough in his home back in D.C., he wouldn't criticize the man's English.
Besides, the grip the man had on Eddie's jewels was all the language the man needed. He was crude and promised to be rough. That was enticing to Eddie. He'd been having it vanilla for too long. He'd thought that Tanzania would be cruder, more primitive. So far this had borne out.
"I take it mostly," Eddie answered in a voice he found surprising hoarse and foreign to how he thought he spoke.
"You'll take it here, now, from me? You gonna lay down nice a pretty for me on this table top and take my dick?"
"You don't waste any time, do you?"
"I don't have time to waste. You've got a great bod and your face is easy on the eyes too. You an athlete?"
"Professional footballer," Eddie answered.
"Thought it was something like that. I'd like to get my hands in these shorts of yours."
"You're almost there now," Eddie quipped.
