Chapter Six: Everything Goes
As soon as the school year at Dartmouth was over and Rich had graduated, his training as a Chippendales-style dancer and performer--both on stage and in bed--began at the Berkeleynotsquare nightclub in Boston's south end. He was given a small room and a bed--and bed partners, both female and male and in combination--at the club and put through his paces for a few weeks before being unveiled to the paying public. He proved to be a fast study on the dance stage, because of his athletic prowess and dexterity and his musicality. He had no trouble determining the beat and coordinating his dance movements to it. And, as he was a god physically, he quickly moved to the front and center of the dance line and became a favorite for high-flyer patron's "after the dance" cards.
In the "after the dance" card respect, Howard wisely kept Rich on the rare-availability status, which only served to heighten the interest in engaging the young man's services. Such was the demand, though, that "rarely available" still meant three or four times a month. Since he was an accomplished musician, he was brought in mostly to answer the wishes of patrons who were in the arts themselves. Regardless, they were people rich enough to afford him.
But first, before he was offered to high society, Rich had to be taken down to the depths to maintain his perspective in what the services were. Rich's "coming out" party at Berkeleynotsquare was a gang bang, in which, after performing a dance routine before a carefully selected audience, an auction was held, and seven men, especially selected for their well-toned bodies as well as their plump pocket books, paid upwards of a thousand dollars each to enjoy him together.
The room was purposely small. The floor, walls, and ceiling were painted black. A series of mirrors and cameras were mounted on the walls and ceiling to catch Rich mounting a beautiful-body man or being mounted by men from varying angles. The room was dominated by a four-by-five-foot black vinyl-covered ottoman placed in the center of the room. The atmosphere was intimate, oppressive even. Red-beaming lights were set in the upper corners of the room, focusing on the vinyl cube, pulsating at a rhythm that started slow, with the "lubbing" sound of the heart beat and, over a twelve-minute period, increased in intensity to a crescendo, with the participants told that the goal of the "game" was to ejaculate at the height of the crescendo. This rhythm was set at the beginning. At the beginning the time period was set longer, to eighteen minutes.
It was all filmed and sold to a select audience, with Rich being paid five thousand dollars for the performance.
Eighteen minutes was the time given to Rich to come with one of the patrons, the goal being for them to come off together, as Rich fucked him on the vinyl cube and the other six patrons, stood around, naked and dicks in hand, and watched. Patron A was graying and might be anywhere between forty and fifty, although his musculature and the trimness and hardness of his beautifully formed body belied the upper reaches of that age range.
Rich fucked him in the missionary position, holding the man's long, lean legs raised and spread, with the man's arms spread-eagled up and out, wide, the wrists restrained at the top corners of the cube, and Rich taking him, at first, in long slides, all the way out and all the way in, picking up in intensity as the pulsating of the strobe lights and lubbing of the beat of the surround sound picked up in intensity. He didn't wear a condom with this first man. The man didn't care and Rich had just been checked. He met his goal of coming on the eighteenth-minute driving beat, as did Patron A, arching his back, crying out to the ceiling and arcing his cum up his belly. Rich's cum was shown dribbling out of the man's hole.
That was the signal for the other six men to descend upon the two, repositioning their bodies so that Rich was on his back, stretched out in one direction, and Patron A was on his belly stretched out in the other direction. The six went through a rota, maintaining pace with the changing pattern of the strobe lighting and lubbing of the sound system. One patron was stationed at the head of either Patron A or Rich, the heads of the latter suspended over one side of the cube, and fed their cocks into the mouths of the reclining man. Another patron was at the other end of the cube, fucking. The third was teasing the body of his reclining prey as he wished. At the explosion of the lights and sound at the end of a twelve-minute period, the fucking patron had either come or hadn't and needed to move on anyway. The six men went through the line, ending up at the head, on the probing, and in the fuck of both of the men reclining on the cube.
The course of this nearly two-hour game was supervised by two body-builder club bouncers, who had the duty of keeping order and maintaining the rota of the gang bang and the reward of each getting to take either Patron A or Rich, slung over their shoulders, and taken to the club taxing room torture chamber to do what they wished with their charge for an hour. Patron A was put in the block, kneeling with wrists and neck incapacitated while a bouncer fucked him like a dog, and Rich was bound to an X-frame and flogged before being fucked from behind by his tormentor.
At the end of the encounter--not called an ordeal as Rich had now been trained not only to expect but to enjoy such treatment--Rich was declared more than ready to be included in the main stable of the club.
* * * *
For the rest of the summer Rich danced the line four nights a week at Berkeleynotsquare, two nights each for the ladies and for the men. After his last of two sets, if a bid had been placed for him, he either fucked or was fucked in the room he also slept in at the back of the club on the nights he performed at the club. Once or twice in the week his services were claimed by either Horace or Alma Butler too under the first deal. On some days, evenings, and/or nights he was not working at the club, he was hired out from Howard's escort agency.
Because he was of concert pianist quality and would be studying musical composition in the fall at Julliard in New York City, the clients he served through the escort agency often were from the entertainment industry, and sometimes the meetings were in New York City, which gave him occasion to check in with his parents. The hours he'd spent with them when he'd intercepted the tax bill were to be the last glowing hours of full lucidity that his mother was to enjoy. She was steadily going downhill that summer and Rich's father didn't seem to be far behind her in failing health and lagging desire to live. Rich had paid the quarterly taxes, but he thought the decision point on keeping the house very likely might come up before the next bill arrived. Still, he took what work from Howard that he could to pay off the advance he'd gotten and to build up another infusion for the taxman.
