I slipped and the moment of imbalance cost me the fight. My mistake was seized upon. The lad punished me. He deftly grabbed my neck into a lock and lifted me up backwards. The audience - three of the boy's college mates in this garret room - cheered. Then he humiliated me. He pulled down the boxing shorts I had (we both had) donned for this little display.
This situation had been my attempt to impress Tommy, the beautiful young man I had been courting, and to show him and his mates that this middle aged dude (me) could still cut it grappling like I had done in college. That had been in 2000. Y2k. To me, it seems like yesterday. But my body has other 'ideas'. I'm not that fit, lean young dude anymore. And this boy was showing me up in the most humiliating (and, honestly, kinda titillating) way. In front of his friends too. I had met Tommy when he and a college pal had shown up at my door one sunny afternoon.
The two lads who stood there when I opened the door were definitely well cute. They must have been around 20. Fit, lean with shaved back and sides and moppy dark hair. Pretty twinks, yet not an effeminate bone in their bodies. Not that I mind effeminate twinks though, especially when they're real pretty. But these were lad's lads.
"Fancy someone power hosing your passage, sir?" one asked, a hint of a knowing smile on his boyishly good looking face. That was Tommy.
I laughed. That was enough for them. They knew they had a customer for both services. Unlike some of these gaming entrepreneurs, the lads actually did have hosing the front passage and tidying the garden on offer -- as well as their other trade. They got to the respectable work first while I watched, lust rising, and got a few beers out for their refreshment. They were really hot dudes.
As we settled back to enjoy the beer they got to flirting.
"Im sweating buckets" said one "im sure an older queer like you wouldn't object if we got out of some of these sweaty clothes, would you?"
