Michael....
I had a strange feeling tonight. I just knew that someone important, maybe someone I knew was in the audience. Maybe a scout for another play? The buzz was that good. I was at my peak, rendering one of the best performances that I've ever given. The director came by while I was dressing to congratulate me and.... (Remember I didn't really need to change. I was only in bikini briefs at that moment. So it was really a make-up room, not a "dressing" room.) He praised me on the night's performance. "You've really got it, Michael. You are definitely Sean. I'd love to direct you again. Even with an extension, which I think is a given at this point, we'll close in another month. I'm working on something else that you might like to consider. Bigger theatre. More money. Good role for you, I think." As he was speaking, he moved behind my stool and began to massage my bare shoulders. Both hands simultaneously reached down and squeezed my nipples. I looked up into his face and saw the hunger. I wasn't going to get out of this one. I could feel his erection on my back. I knew where this was going. It didn't take a college education. But, I didn't stop him. I wanted to hear more. Another part?
He unzipped and opened while un-tucking his shirt. He had come on to me before, and I had managed to escape without offending him. Well, maybe I had let him in a time or two. But, I was pretty sure he couldn't pull me out of Dreamers now with the press I had. But, this time he was offering something in the future, and he hadn't been specific about the prize.
"You know I'm taken, Mark. He's living with me, and I think we're in it for the long haul."
"I don't see why that doesn't mean we can't have some fun. No commitments. Come on, Michael. My dick is so hard for you it's going to cream in my pants. We can't have that, can we? I know you've been chubbed all night. Like every night. You are a sex machine, Michael. A sex machine. You were made to be fucked. You're ready, I know. I'm not asking to fuck you—at least not tonight."
With those words, he moved around, straddled and pressed his cock into my lips. He was already wet with precum and the musk was strong. His pubes were inches from my nose. I couldn't help but smell. He knew he had me. I was still trying to come down from the last emotional scene when, at Raul's funeral, after Pete has fucked me and he and Steve have had it out, Steve pulls me aside and says, "Let's go home. We need to let Pete mourn ALONE. You don't owe him anything anymore." We walk off with Steve's arm around my shoulders. He knows that he owns me, anytime and anywhere. He can have any life he wants, and I'll be there when he comes home or crashes. It's sad, but all too true an ending for many in the audience. Love hurts.
My lips opened and he pushed it in. I hadn't said anything. He wasn't as long as many I've had, but he was thick and cut, and no barber had touched his bush. He was a gorilla. I could see the fur on his lower gut. His hands went behind my head, and he started to face fuck me. He was reeking of musk and pre-cum. It didn't take long. He hadn't lied. He was totally aroused and ready to explode. He touched the back of my throat. That was my cue. I reached around and began to rub my finger around his rim, finally penetrating as far as the nut. He groaned in pleasure and spilled everything down, pulling back a little at the last minute to leave a bit of cum on my tongue and lips—just so I'd know I'd had a taste of him. It wasn't really so bad. I'd done much more for much less only a year or so ago.
He pulled out, wiped on a makeup rag on the table and tucked it in. He turned to leave, red-faced and still putting himself back together. "Auditions for the new play start in two weeks. I'll let you know where and when. Let's do this again some time." Not a word about what we had both just done. He hadn't forced or raped me. I had sucked him in, and I had participated with a little ass-play. The escort in me had taken over. It was all very New York transactional. (Or maybe LA or Houston. They're all the same. He has what you want. And you have what he wants. So why not trade?)
I headed home, found Flip asleep as usual. But I needed him. I hadn't cum with the director. So I started the prep to enter which always woke him. He responded, and I made long and powerful love to him. I think I was making up for what I had done with the director. Or maybe I was re-assuring myself that he was worth the exclusivity. He was. Definitely he was. I strained to empty every ounce of my being into my lover as I tried to suck his soul into mine. The result was spectacular. I rolled off, took him in my arms, but it was a long time to sleep. Throughout, while he participated with passion and seemed the same, he had said not a word.
Flip....
After a rough short night, my eyes opened. Today is the first day that I've had off in weeks. Previews start in two nights and I know I'll be smashed to the wall for the first few weeks as we make the last few tweaks before Opening Night. Michael is sleeping peacefully beside me. But, I'm in distress. I know he's been cheating. I guess I should have expected it. I wasn't born yesterday. I know the entertainment industry. If you get a break because of your looks, you're gonna pay with your body. Period.
But why didn't he tell me? We both knew that when we were in Houston and were together, we both had sexual obligations and encounters with others. We had learned then to wall off the commercial sex from what we did together. What the fuck is the difference now? Yeah, I know. He feels he needs to keep it from me. Why? Is it that important to him?
Shit. I saw the fucking play! He's a whore cum drop to any dick in the cast. And now I learn he's probably been doing it with the director and maybe some of the producers. And he didn't tell me. That means he's got something to hide. Maybe we're not the dream couple I thought we were.
By that point, I was so worked up, I didn't feel like a morning of slow passionate sex with a lover. Everything was different. I got up quietly and left without waking him. I walked for a long time....thinking, alternately forgiving and ready to throw in the towel. Finally, I decided. This was just one of those anticipated bumps. I realized I wanted him even with flaws. I wasn't going to be the one to break us up. At least not yet.
So I went by the neighborhood bagel shop and bought two everything bagels with giant schmears. Then I headed home to put on the coffee. I had decided. I wasn't going to raise any of this. I was going to act like nothing had happened. We were too good to give up so easily. I would insist on seeing the play—tonight before I started working. At least I wanted to be able to talk about it. And I didn't want to say something about it inadvertently that would disclose my trip to the show.
Michael and I spent the day casually after we feasted on the bagels and coffee that I had picked up and prepared. Neither of us mentioned the previous night when I had seen the director emerging from his dressing room--obviously after having fucked him. I decided to remain silent and play it by ear. So Michael didn't know I knew.
I didn't want him to know I had seen the play, and it was unthinkable that the run would finish without me seeing it. So, I insisted that I wanted to see it, and he finally relented and called in to reserve a front row seat for that night. "Just remember I warned you. I really don't want to hear any critical comments from you. This is my first Broadway attempt, and I'm really not proud. Unlike our flics, there is no editing on the stage." We had until six before he needed to leave for the theatre. I could go then with him or later as I wished. It turned out that I definitely "wished" to accompany him to the theatre.
We talked a good deal late that morning to catch up. He mentioned that Dreamers would likely be extended through the end of the month (another three weeks). But, he hadn't lined anything else to follow up. With his luck, he'd be on the streets again by then. And he had yet to find an agent who would feed him leads and make sure his head shot and CV were before the right people. "It's really hard for a new guy to find an agent—at least one who is worth having."
I told him that the revival of Oklahoma! was going into previews on Friday (two nights away) and that opening night was about ten days away. I had been hired as one of the four techs who would staff the play for its initial New York run—at least a year unless the box office collapsed. There were eight performances each week (including two matinees) and I'd work four of them and be on call for the other four. I was told to expect five or six slots per week of about six hours each. I could free-lance troubleshoot or work on installation on other plays on days without a matinee, and I was virtually assured of jobs for most of the days I wanted to work. So I was employed with good income. His face said everything. He didn't need to say a word. He wasn't interested. Tech support is not really Broadway in his eyes. Only those on stage—and maybe the director--really count. I was just a talented specialist tech. Even if I was going to be supporting us.
I told him that I hadn't yet found another apartment that we could afford, that I'd signed up for a gym on the next block, and that I was still looking at lighting design courses. No decision yet. Frankly, he seemed less interested in my words than he was in rousing my cock for another round. I guess that should have bothered me, but when someone is fooling around with your dick.....Fuck, give me a break. I'm a young guy with needs.
