The sun rose. Jay's alarm went off. He groaned. Jetlag was a form of temporary death.
He texted his supervisor, telling him he'd caught some kind of bug on an overseas trip, and was feeling sick. He said he wouldn't be able to make it in today, and that he hoped the library would cope without him. He'd be back in tomorrow.
He turned his phone off without waiting for a response. The books could wait another day.
Rio wrapped a heavy arm around Jay's stomach, and they drifted off to sleep again.
They woke around 1pm. Rio bounced out of bed. "Fuck, I'm hungry, Jay," he announced. His tummy rumbled. "Hear that? Let's go out for breakfast?"
Jay rolled over and checked his phone. "It's 1pm, dude. Ain't nobody gonna serve you pancakes in the middle of the day."
Rio frowned. "Well, that's bullshit."
Jay shrugged his shoulders.
They went out, but for lunch instead. Rio was blinged up to the max -- black ballcap on his head, gold chains around his neck, tight white high-dollar track pants and a pair of shiny, expensive basketball sneakers.
They found a street cafΓ© where Jay ordered a smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese, capers, pickles and dill. Rio ordered a cheeseburger with fries, and they each ordered a coke.
They heard car horns, they smelt exhaust, and they breathed smog. "Fiji feels like a million miles away, Jay."
Jay nodded. "Yeah. I'm not ready to go back to the library just yet. Maybe it's jetlag, or maybe it's post-vacation comedown, but when my alarm went off this morning, every cell in my body screamed 'no'. I like working in a library, but I just couldn't do it today. But it's a good job, and I'm glad to have it. You know how much I love books, and most of the time, it's easygoing."
Rio chowed down on his burger, and Jay noticed a hint of sauce seep from the corner of Rio's lips. His tongue poked out the corner of his mouth and lapped it up. "Speaking of work, I got offered some more work a few days ago," he segued.
"Yeah, I remember when you got the text," said Jay. "I was waiting for your fat dick in my ass, but porn was more important."
The waitress overheard this comment and glanced across at their table. She thought she recognised the blinged-up dude from somewhere.
Rio didn't argue with Jay's statement. "Yeah. So I need to call the producer this afternoon to find out what's happening."
After finishing their meals, they headed back home for the rest of the afternoon. Jay lay back on the couch with his head buried in a book, while Rio stepped outside to make his call.
Jay expected Rio to walk back in, king of the porn world, hollering at the top of his lungs, with another massive check waiting there for him to clutch from the sky, but he didn't. Jay looked up from his book as Rio walked back inside and closed the door quietly behind him.
Rio was already in mid-conversation with himself. "I mean, I know I've worked with MacKenzie a couple of times now, and it's not a good idea work with the same people all the time, the audience gets bored seeing the same thing over and over again, so I was relieved when her name didn't come up in conversation, but ... Jay, he asked me to do a cuckold scene ... which to me, has some serious bi overtones."
Jay put his bookmark in and closed the cover. He stood up.
"What do you mean?"
Rio took a deep breath. "The scenario he pitched to me is there's this rich MILF chick sunbathing on a float in the pool. I've been hired to clean the pool, and she's checking me out." Jay raised a cynical eyebrow, and Rio noticed. "I know, man. Like, it's the oldest clichΓ© in the porn catalogue. Have we lost our imagination? Anyway, I know the bitch they mentioned -- she's hot, we've worked together before, and she's got a plump, fat ass that loves my dick. But then they mentioned there's another guy in the scene. I've done gangbang and blowbang scenes before, and that's what I thought he was pitching, but it wasn't."
"I've probably seen all of those scenes, and I probably came to every single one of them imagining I was the bitch in the centre of the blowbang being drenched in alpha cum."
Rio smiled thinly. "I wish this was another scene like that, but it isn't. I'm cleaning the pool, she's watching me, and she calls me over. She starts sucking my dick, but then her husband comes home unexpectedly."
"Sounds hot," said Jay.
"I'll cut to the chase. Her husband sits in a corner, watching as I fuck his wife. I cum on her ass, and then her husband eats my load off her cheeks."
"Fuck, dude, are you serious? I'm popping a boner already."
Rio ran his hands across his face in frustration. "No, dude, but ... I mean ... you're ... I don't think you're getting it."
"What's to get?" asked Jay.
Rio looked flustered. He began pacing the room.
"Come and sit down," Jay said. "Let's talk about it."
Rio flopped onto the couch with a sigh. "My porn persona is not the same as the real me. I'm living with you, and we have awesome sex, but I don't fuck dudes on camera."
"Didn't sound to me like you were fucking him," Jay countered. "Sounded to me like you ignored his ass completely, and then at the end of the scene, you disappeared, and he cleaned his wife up." He paused. "Am I missing something?"
Rio shook his head. "No, I don't think so."
"Then how is this not 100% straight? You fuck the shit out of this dude's wife right in front of him, and then when you're gone, he eats your load off his wife's ass? You're not even there to watch him do it. Dude, that's fuckin' straighter than straight. And it's insanely hot."
Rio was slowly coming around to Jay's way of thinking. "Really? People think that's hot?"
"Hell yeah, they do. Tastes are changing, Rio, and there's plenty of guys out there who'd secretly love to swallow your nut and would get off on a scene like that. Also, don't forget, more women than ever are watching porn, and if Britney's opinion is anything to go by, chicks *love* watching alphas rule over betas." Jay paused for a second. "And ... besides ... you don't have to do anything you're uncomfortable with," Jay reminded. "I mean, you've been in the game for so long now, surely if you explain that this crosses a line for you, they'll just rearrange the scenario."
Rio wasn't sure about this. He knew he'd had a colourful past in the industry, and he was trying to make up for lost time. And lost money. He didn't know how much influence he had. "I'm just worried that if I say this is too far for me, they'll move on and find someone else. I know I'm a drawcard, but at the same time, I'm not irreplaceable."
"Yeah, maybe," said Jay, "but don't forget there's a lot more work out there for you than just this one scene."
Rio wasn't sure what to do.
Jay thought long and hard. "OK, Rio, imagine this. You fuck her in the ass, you cum on her cheeks, and ... I'm her husband."
Rio raised his eyebrows. "What?"
"Imagine I'm the beta jerking off in the corner watching you destroy my wife, and then I'm the guy who eats your load off her ass? I mean, I've eaten your cum so many times, and I've never heard you complain about it."
The air was still. Rio knew this was an idea worth exploring.
"Are you proposing this hypothetically," Rio probed, "or are you saying you're offering to be in the scene?"
Jay was surprised. "Umm ... no, I wasn't suggesting I be in your scene or on set in any way. You've got a job to do, and I know how important it is to you to keep your job separate from your personal life. I was just thinking you could imagine it was me. Like ... it might help you."
"But you're not some beta accountant in a bowtie with squinty glasses and no personality who's repressing gay thoughts," Rio replied. "Because that's what I'm imagining. Some guy who's gonna want selfies with me and who won't get the fuck out of my face."
Jay thought. "Like I said earlier, if you're uncomfortable, I'm sure you can negotiate. I'm not an insider, obviously, but I think you've got more than enough skin in the game to be listened to and accommodated. But ... on the other hand, this could be good for your career. You know, like a sign of growth and creativity. Stretching the boundaries a little. And ... thinking a little more about the idea, I'd be willing to play the role of the cuck, if it'd be easier for you."
Rio's eyes widened. "Really?"
"If the producer agreed, then yeah, sure. But he might think it's a dumbass idea, or he might already have someone else locked in. Besides, I'm a nobody, and if he agreed, it'd all be on your own word. In a way, you'd be staking your reputation on me."
Rio remained silent for a moment.
"But yeah, dude, I'd definitely do this for you, if you wanted me to," Jay continued. "For a shitload of reasons. First of all, to support your career and to be there with you in a potentially uncomfortable moment. Secondly, to eat some more of your delicious sperm which you already know I can't fucking ever get enough of. And thirdly, to see what it's like on a porn set."
"OK," said Rio. "If you're sure, I'll ask the question."
"I'm definitely sure," Jay replied. "Out of curiosity, dude, who's the chick in the scene?"
"You know a pornstar called Flower?"
"Oh ... fuuuuuuck." Jay had jacked off so many times watching Flower getting boinked up the butt. Her cheeks were fat as hell, with just the slightest hint of cellulite pockmarks, and her anus looked delicious. "Flower is fucking awesome. I've always wanted to stick my tongue up her ass. Make the call, Rio. Sorry, but I need to jerk off so fucking bad right now."
He ran to the bathroom, closed the door, stood under the shower, and sprayed thick streaks of semen all over the glass walls.
Five minutes later, he came back out. Rio had news.
"I just called the producer," Rio reported. "I said I'm in, so long as I could bring a friend to play the cuck. He agreed. You're about to make your porn debut."
"Oh my fucking god, Rio. I'm about to meet one of my favourite pornstars and eat your nut out of her asscrack."

The shoot was scheduled for Saturday. Jay returned to the library on Tuesday morning, and the rest of his week was ordinary. There was a little work-related news that he'd missed out on while he was away, but Britney filled him in. Or, to be more accurate, Jay filled Britney in.
Britney and Jay took their lunch break together on Wednesday afternoon. They each purchased sandwiches and coffees, and walked two blocks away to a quiet, secluded park. They lay on the grass, and Jay told Britney all about his Fijian vacation. After they ate, Britney led Jay by the hand to a female toilet block. She took him to a toilet cubicle, pulled his pants down, and hitched up her skirt. She leaned forward across the toilet, rolled a rubber onto his dick and guided him in. She was so fucking wet for him. She frigged her clit and he came deep in her snatch. She rolled the condom off and consumed its contents.
She kissed him on the cheek as they made themselves presentable. "We should get back to work."
Friday afternoon rolled around, and Britney asked Jay if he was busy later. She suggested they have a drink or two, to celebrate the end of the week. Jay said he was busy with a new business venture the next day -- which was true, in a vague sense -- and that he'd need to take a raincheck.
