"Oh. My.
God.
Quick, Charlie, pinch me. This cannot be real."
Dell just kept going on like that, muttering endless epithets under his breath as he sat rapt on the sofa, his eyes glued to the images spooling by on the TV screen. Occasionally, he'd cut a glance my way, his expression a mask of utter shock, then he'd go right back to the screen, staring as the vision of my Dad feeding his big erect cock into Todd's slurping mouth.
Actually, I wasn't doing much better than Dell. I was curled up in a side chair, taking deep breaths and tightly hugging my body as frame after frame of my fully naked father went by working his steel-hard weapon into the younger cop's eager throat. I'd watched it all the way through, or most of it, before Dell arrived, but here I was watching it again, and was just as mesmerized and turned on as I was the first time. Finally, unable to take another second of this exquisite torture I jumped up, grabbed the remote from Dell and shut the thing off.
"Hey!" croaked Dell, finally snapped out of his spell. "What's the big idea? You're the one who called me over here to see this."
"Yes, I know. But give me a fucking break, Dell. This is my dad."
Dell glared at me, then fixed me with a knowing look. "You've already watched it, haven't you?"
When I didn't answer, Dell lunged at me, wrestled the remote out of my hand and restarted the video. "This is the wildest thing I've ever seen, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna let you stop me from seeing it all."
"Fine—but cut the goddamn sound effects, will you? All that grunting is driving me crazy."
Dell dialed down the volume, and thereby took away much of the effect the endless succession of groans and grunts were having on me. Make no mistake, every time I glanced at the screen and saw my dad fucking his cock into Todd's deep throat, it sent a fresh chill of excitement through me. But for now, at least, I felt as if I could breathe without those heated sex sounds coiling around and choking me. And without those riveting sounds, I was able to divert my attention at least partly onto Dell. And it was then I realized he was just as turned on by the searing images on screen as I was. After several more minutes of torture Dell turned and looked at me.
"And you really didn't know . . .?"
"That he was doing
that?
God no. Don't you think I would have told you?'
"Jesus H. Christ," sighed Dell. "Charlie, this is huge."
"You're telling me? What the hell am I gonna do about it?"
"What are
you
going to do? How the hell should I know?"
"Well, for heaven's sake, Dell, why do you think I called you!"
"OK, OK, settle down, little Mary Sunshine " said Dell, once again studying the screen. "You do know, don't you, that you're not the first guy to discover his dad is gay, though I have to admit finding out this way, now that takes the cake. The only thing worse would've been if you had actually walked in and caught 'em doing it."
"Shut up, Dell. This is no time for jokes. Talk about a total fucking disaster."
Dell snickered and then cut his eyes my way and tried to look serious. But there was no disguising how much he was getting caught up in the images on-screen. "Say what you want, Charlie C, but this is hot. I mean, really incredibly smoking hot. Why didn't you tell me your dad looked like that without his clothes on?"
I grabbed a cushion off the recliner and threw it at Dell who just dodged it and snickered again. Frustrated, I reached over and once again took the remote and shut the tape off. "We need a break. Don't argue with me, Dell. Maybe yours aren't, but my eyes are burning. We can finish this later."
"I'm not arguing," said Dell, standing up, taking a deep breath and running his hand across the nape of his neck. "For some reason my neck is stiff and my throat is dry. I could go for a soda. You want one?"
"Yeah," I said, following him into the kitchen.
"But how could he be gay?" I said, downing a big gulp of the soda. "I would've known."
"How would you have known?" said Dell, fixing me with a look. "Think about it, Charlie. How many times have you and I sat around talking about some famous macho guy who everybody thought was straight as an arrow, and turned out to be as queer as a two-dollar bill? It happens all the time. It makes you wonder, though. About your mom, I mean. Maybe the real reason she took off was that she found out that your dad actually prefers dudes, and she couldn't take it."
"Makes sense—except that's just a bunch of bull, Dell. I was around then, remember? I know the real reason she left, and it was because she couldn't handle the responsibility of raising a kid. And, besides, she wasn't his only one, you know. My dad's had lots of girlfriends since then. There was a really pretty one just a couple of years ago, and I know for a fact they were doing it."
"How do you know?"
"Because I heard them—especially her. She wasn't exactly the quiet type, if you know what I mean, and when she slept over, I swear you could her squealing all the way down the hall. There was no faking that."
"OK, so he was straight once, and then he flipped, and became gay. Or maybe half-gay. Jesus, I don't know. This is starting to hurt my brain. I'm fresh out of ideas. You got any?"
"You're really giving up so easily? That's not like you."
"Will you cut me some slack?" said Dell throwing up his hands. "You invite me over here, throw me for a loop by showing your straight-arrow cop dad force feeding his cock down some guy's throat, and expect me to explain it all in twenty words or less. OK, sorry. I think I'd the one who needs to take a chill pill now. Look, Charlie, this isn't the end of the world. Heck, if I were to find out my dad was gay, I'd probably throw a fucking party. Maybe the real question isn't how could he be gay, but why are you so upset by it? And in any case, this little intermission is over. Time to restart the movie. Maybe further viewing will give us a clue as to what's actually going on."
An hour later we had made it through most of the tape. It was taking so long because Dell kept slowing it down and backing it up, then pausing it to make little observations and ask impossible questions. I had pulled my feet up and coiled back into my lounge chair. Dell was so absorbed by the screen that he didn't seem to notice me pulling the edges of my T-shirt down over my shorts so that I could press my hand over my crotch and gently finger my cock. I couldn't help it. I was as hard as a rock.
