Anthony's Story
"Uh, Manuel. Please. We can't."
"You are a tease, Anthony. I am becoming weary of it."
The slim dancer rolled out from underneath the larger, muscular Cuban, who sat up on the bed and snorted his frustration. The two had been in a sixty-nine position on the bed, the dark-skinned Cuban on his elbows and knees suspended over the dark-complexioned, smaller man with the sultry, almost pretty face, and the black curly hair. Nonetheless, as a background dancer in movie musicals, he was as hard bodied as the muscular Cuban and could crack walnuts with his thighs.
The two had been stretched out in reverse and sucking cock. Manuel had also let his fingers wander into Anthony's crack, with his middle finger toying with the rim—which Anthony had moaned for but not objected to—and from there tapping on the hole itself and starting to sink in. That had moved into taboo territory. Manuel didn't force the issue, but he did test it on occasion.
Anthony, whose pay was low despite having worked in movies since he was sixteen, had lived in Manuel's apartment since he had turned eighteen two months previously. As a saxophonist in background orchestras and at clubs, when he needed cash, Manuel was better off financially than Anthony was.
Manuel had taken Anthony in at a cut rate as a roommate because he wanted to fuck the luscious little dancer of Italian origin. He'd been working on doing that for the past two months. He wouldn't take the smaller man by force, though. It had to be Anthony's choice. Anthony had continually said it was what he wanted, but that it couldn't happen yet.
"Why?" Manuel asked out of frustration. "I can understand waiting until you're eighteen, but I didn't lay a hand on you until you were—I didn't take you in as a roommate until you were. I'm not doing anything more than you keep saying you want to do with me. You suck my cock and let me suck yours. You let me come in your mouth. Why don't you let me fuck your ass? Are you afraid of it? Am I too big for you?"
"Yes, of course I'm afraid of it. Of course it's big—it's huge," Anthony said, forcing a grin, trying to take the edge off Manuel's suppressed anger. "But that's not it. Just be patient. Probably just for a few more days."
"Patient for just a few more days. You can't do something today that you will be willing to do in a few days?" His eyes went to the nightstand and to the book laying there. "Say, this doesn't have anything to do with the interview you said you had tomorrow with that movie producer . . . what's his name . . . Atkins . . . Ted Atkins, would it?"
"Why do you ask?" The tone of Anthony's voice was suddenly defensive.
"You're reading this book—
Danny's Choice
. And I've heard Atkins is going to produce a movie on it. Jorge is composing a soundtrack score, on the hush hush, and is already lining up an orchestra. I said I'd play. But does this timing have anything to do with Atkins? I've heard about him and his first-time fetish. How he collects young men's cherries. You're not saving yourself for him, are you?"
"That's a lot of questions, Manuel," Anthony said, but he was looking away from Manuel. He couldn't look the Cuban in the face.
"OK, let's count them off, then. And be truthful with me or you might find your suitcase out in the hallway. You've teased me long enough. Are you reading this book because you want to audition for a part in the movie? You know it's to be a graphic underground homo coming of age movie, don't you?"
"That still isn't one question."
"Answer them." It wasn't a request.
"Yes, I know what the screenplay will be about. And, yes, I want to audition for a part."
"With the producer himself? Aren't minor speaking roles worked out between central casting and your agent?"
"I'm not auditioning for just any role. I'm auditioning to be Danny."
"The lead?"
"Yes."
Manuel whistled. "That's quite a jump from the dance line. And you're going to try to get the part by letting the producer fuck you? To take your ass-channel virginity? Is that it? I can't fuck you in the ass until Ted Atkins has fucked you?"
"Yes, that's right. But it's more complicated than that."
"Sounds pretty complicated to me already. How much more complicated can it get?"
"Ted Atkins has already paid for my virginity. He did that two years ago. He just accepted that he couldn't cash in until I was eighteen. I had to promise to wait for him to exercise his option."
"Exercising an option on an ass? That doesn't sound just complicated. It sounds Byzantine. What did he pay for this privilege? Looking around at what you own in this apartment, I gotta say that you must have sold yourself cheap."
"Not cheap. If I reneged, I have no idea how I'd pay him back. When I came to Los Angeles, I couldn't find any jobs better than a restaurant dishwasher. And I had a talent, a skill for the entertainment industry. Do you have any idea how few male dancers there are compared to female ones?—I'm not talking about Chippendale pole dancers. Classically trained dancers to work the stage and in movie musicals." He didn't wait for Manuel to guess.
"Ted Atkins saw me at an audition. I didn't get that gig, but he made a deal with me. If I'd give him my virginity when I reached eighteen, he'd make sure I'd have work from then—when I was sixteen. He's been good at his word. I've had work."
"Not great work, and not work that advanced you."
"But work. I managed to stay in Hollywood and to feed myself—and to be in the movies and do some stage work too. I wouldn't even have an agent if Ted Atkins hadn't gotten one to take me on. I wouldn't have worked the last two years at what I wanted to do. I probably wouldn't even still be in Los Angeles."
"But your ass. You sold your ass."
"I am gay. I knew when I was sixteen I was gay. I've shown you I want male sex, haven't I? I just haven't done it all with you. That doesn't mean I don't want to or don't intend to. I'm not sure whether Mr. Atkins would be thrilled to know how much I've done with you. It's just for a couple of more days, I'm sure. I got the interview—for 6:00 p.m., when it would be just him at the office. He'll call in the chit, I know."
"I don't know."
"And, don't you see? I'm asking for more. I'm taking advantage of what he could—and probably will—demand to hit him up for the lead in
Danny's Choice
. If I can make him want me again and again, I maybe can parley this into my big chance."
"You might have to fuck a lot of toads. You might become Atkins' boy toy."
"If Mr. Atkins has a plucking off first timers fetish, I'll have to work hard to keep him wanting me. And if I can do that, I can work it to my advantage. A lot of the big names in Hollywood have done that to get to the top. And it's nothing to you; I'll be coming home to you. Fucking toads will be worth it if I can come home to you. Don't you have any idea how hard this holding off has been for me too? I want you to fuck me—to fuck me silly. But there's so much to lose by not waiting just a few days."
"I don't know if you have thought through how rough this can be for you." Manuel reached over to the nightstand, picked up the copy of
Danny's Choice
, opened to a passage he seemed to already know well, and began to read.
"You're going to split me!" I hadn't meant to cry out, but I hadn't been able to keep it in.
Soothing shushing. "It will take it; I won't split you. Open to me; you'll be fine."
"There, in to the root," I heard him whisper in my ear through heavy breathing. "When you learn to open to it faster, there won't be this pain." And indeed, now that he was all in and had stopped pushing at me—and I began to relax, knowing that I wasn't resisting anything that hadn't already happened—the pain was a bit less. "Turn your head, look into the mirror over there. Here, I'll turn your ass a bit. Look at what's inside you. You can take it. You have taken it."
I moaned at the sight of how thick the root of his dick looked to be as reflected in the mirror, where just the base of it was visible in my hole. And my hole. Who would have known it would open that wide? I didn't find his "help" in showing that to me in the mirror reassuring. Well, not immediately, but there was a little thrill of having taken all of that. And that's as big as his dick would get—surely. But maybe it would get bigger while he fucked? I moaned again.
And the pain. When the hell does the pain lessen, I wondered as I moaned and groaned and voiced every variation of "ouch" and "oh, shit" that bubbled up to my lips. "Ouch" didn't express a fourth of the pain, though.
"So sweet, and fresh. I've wanted to do this for months. And so tight. I'm the first one, right? Tell me I'm the first one. I paid to be first."
"Yes," I answered through shallow pants and clinched teeth. "You're the first one."
He was. Would I be doing this if he didn't have something I wanted badly? I wanted a speaking part in the Broadway play he was producing to go on stage in 1964.
"Good boy." His hands were off my hips and gliding over my torso, patting and pinching. "Sleek young body—if I hadn't seen your birth certificate myself, I'd—"
My groan covered what he was saying. Not only had a hand found and encased my dick, but I also felt movement in the throbbing dick inside me—or at least I thought the dick was throbbing; I knew my channel walls were throbbing from the alien invasion. He was beginning to move the dick inside me. Drawing back, pushing in, drawing back, pushing in farther than he'd reached before.
"Take it, take it, take it." Each thrust punctuated with a command.
"Oh, shit, Oh Fuck! That hurts like hell!" All senses returning to my ass channel. What he'd done before tying my wrists together wasn't being fucked. This was being fucked! Pumping me as I writhed under him. His grip on one of my pecs and on my dick vice-like now. The grip eased and he was stroking me with his hand to the rhythm of his dick stroking my channel.
"Stop! Stop," Anthony cried out. He was writhing in Manuel's embrace, the arm of the Cuban encircling his shoulders and holding him close while using that hand to hold the book. The Cuban's other hand was stroking Anthony's cum-streaked cock, the young dancer having come sometime during the reading.
"It needn't be like that," Anthony whispered. "But we have to wait for whatever it is."
"If I can't do all I want to do to you right now, at least I can make what I can do real interesting."
"What do you mean . . . what are you doing? Oh shit." He was laughing as Manuel grabbed him—Anthony was no match for the big Cuban in strength—went up on his knees on the bed, upended Anthony, and pulled the smaller man into his body. Anthony was plastered to his torso upside down at the level where Manuel could take Anthony's cock in his mouth and vice versa. Anthony wrapped his arms around Manuel's thighs for stability, but he did a perfect straight-leg split with his legs above Manuel's head. The two resumed sucking each other off.
