I found Chet in the bath. He was searching for something and it was obvious that he was in some pain. "Need more ibuprofen? Can I get you something else? We don't have to swim."
"Do you always ask two or three questions in a row, each with a different answer? Yes, to the ibuprofen. No, to something else. Yes again, to the swim. But I'll need to borrow trunks."
"When Mom is away, trunks are optional—and it would probably hurt too much to put them on anyway. Head out to the pool and I'll bring the pills and some iced tea—sweet, I presume for a Georgia boy? Pool towels are outside by the chaises."
"Great—but no sugar please, I'm in training. Except the day before a race, I keep the carbs low—and even then I eat only complex carbs." Now I understand the muscular definition and deep cut abs. Chet is an athlete who watches his diet as well as training hard.
It was still warm and the pool looked very inviting in the late afternoon sun. It was a large pool and quite long, designed for laps. The gentle waterfall was working and provided pleasant background and white noise. I brought out the drinks, the pills, and a few keto snack bars. Both of us stripped; we were getting quite comfortable with mutual nudity. I dove in and Chet moved more slowly down the steps and sat in the shallow end seat. I showed off a bit with several laps of breast and back while Chet moved slowly enjoying the coolness on his bruised skin. His skin was smooth, almost café au lait where tanned, otherwise pale, with obvious sets of lines from the biking gear. In fact, his tan could pass for a redneck's.
Chet swam, breast stroke, to the deep end, and began to tread, obviously trying out his muscles. I didn't notice any particular signs of pain.
I finished first, climbed out and unashamedly posed at the top of the stairs--so he could get a good look at all of me. My olive skin was tanned very darkly in sharp contrast to the paler Speedo bikini "tattoo" showcasing my penis and large balls that had drawn up in the pool water. I am completely shaved—originally for swim competition, but now because I like the look, except for a patch of Brazilian-cut soft black pubes that almost fit inside a Speedo. Fortunately we had gone from Speedos to compression body suits for competition, because it is doubtful that my super cylinder would fit in a small bikini—at least not without scandal, and I did like to show a bit of masculinity with my bushy pubes. My shaft and apple-shaped cut helmet left nothing to imagination when I was in a Speedo and only slightly less in compression. I had used the Speedos only for home sunning and cruising—and very little of the latter since leaving UT. It is still an open question as to whether a man is sexier in a tight Speedo or nude and fully tanned. Mystery or exhibition? I stood at the top of the stairs, looking intently toward the house, but really just teasing Chet. I headed for a chaise, threw the towel down and dropped onto my back, with Little Geoff swinging from side to side in a wide arc as I did so.
Chet climbed out, his own member arching over his drawn up balls, grabbed a towel and stretched out gingerly on the chaise nearest me. "I'll try not to get blood on your towel."
I began. "Superficial abrasions bleed a lot at first, but heal pretty quickly—particularly in fit young men like you. An accident is not the ideal way to pick someone up, and I don't usually pick guys up that I don't know, but I am sure pleased that you are here. I've got a week before first year med school, otherwise known as hell, begins and I would really like to enjoy it with you. I hope we can become good friends. I can't wait to get my hands on you. As health care provider, of course."
"Your signals are coming through loud and clear. My receiver is working overtime."
"Tell me a little about yourself. I like to know a little about the guys I pursue."
"So you are pursuing me? I guess I can live with that. As you know, I am a competitive and compulsive cyclist. In fact, I'm pretty competitive at everything I do. I've been bred to compete—and win and so far that has worked for me. I've been training and competing at Rice. I plan to return to campus in just a week. A've been here riding the hills to develop more endurance since Houston is so flat and most of our meet courses are hilly. Assuming I have a good year, ah'll need to find a sponsor by next spring to go pro—or go to work after graduation. The costs of competing are enormous. Professional biking has been my goal for as long as I can remember. It's my life. Rice provides my basics and I am the best rider on the team, but they do not sponsor after graduation. This year is make or break time for me. But, I'm realistic. Probably only eight to ten graduating seniors—nationwide-- are drafted by the pros. So I've also learned some financial skills that are going to be very marketable. Ah hope that I don't need them, at least for a few years."
"No parents in the picture. One married sister, Julia, who lives in Atlanta. She doesn't know I'm gay, but I think she suspects it. No girls—or guys--before Rice. Not even innocent circle jerks. Several experiences since then. Really hookups, mostly with groupies, who all seem to be Francophiles anxiously waiting to move to Paris. They think that all cyclists of course will move to France after university to train for the most important race in the world—and they want to be in the baggage—and in our jocks."
"A've had a few hookups with guys, but always away from campus. Cycling is one of the most scrutinized, tested, and homophobic sports since that famous event where a champ was caught doping and stripped of his medals. There was even a suggestion of quiet homosexual relationships within his close-knit team. That part never hit the international press, but it is an urban myth within the cycling community. And the French have been able to maintain this myth that there are no French homosexuals, every French man is an insatiable hetero sex machine—what a crock. I'm required to test for drugs—and STDs--every week and present evidence to the cycling coach to remain on the team. No one at Rice knows that I ride for the other team."
