"So, are you interested, Mark?"
It was a question that didn't require any exploration on Lachon's part. He was asking me if I'd like to go on a double date with him with two semipro basketball players who were moving to Dayton as their American Basketball Association team, the Ohio Kings, was relocating here from Cleveland and they wanted to check out the social scene in Dayton. Lachon Bradshaw, a star forward with the University of Dayton Flyers NCAA Division 1 basketball team, knew I was gay and would date a gay guy because I'd gone out with--and gone down on--Lachon. He was gay too. Obviously, he was telling me these semipro basketball players were gay and would expect sex on a date. He came right out and said it.
"Sex wouldn't be a problem, would it?" he'd asked me.
"Safe sex?"
"If that's what you wanted."
"No, then, not if I could get it up with the guy."
"Not a problem with these two guys," Lachon said.
Lachon was a senior at the University of Dayton. I was a sophomore, studying business administration and hoping to go into sports management. I wasn't a basketball player--most of them towered over my five-foot-nine, 170-pound frame, and out-bulked me, although I worked out and there wasn't anything not to be proud of muscle wise at my height and weight class. Lachon towered over me too at six-six and some 220 pounds. As well as the basketball team, Lachon and I shared a couple of classes. We also both were actively gay and that had brought us together.
Unfortunately, as far as mating up, we both were submissives. We'd discovered this on our first and only date that included sex, although not as totally sexual as we had anticipated. We tried but our satisfaction didn't get past the mutual hand-jacking stage. Still, that was pleasant enough.
We palled around a lot still, but we didn't try to include sex anymore. Our one and only had been after a big game victory, when I invited Lachon back to my small attic apartment in an old Victorian house among those on Irving Avenue the university had bought for student housing in the South Student Housing area more commonly called "The Ghetto." I had a studio apartment, essentially one large room under sloping ceilings with a kitchen wall and a bath that I didn't have to share because my family could afford it.
We'd gone to my place fully expecting to have all-out anal sex. We hadn't checked each other out first, though. Although I could get him up and releasing with my mouth and he could do the same for me with his hand, neither of us could put in the lust needed to keep it hard to put in the other's ass. After showing our frustration, we saw the humor in that, and although we continued running together, we hunted separately. That is, we hunted separately until now, when Lachon was asking me if I wanted to do a double date with him.
"They're both hunks," he said. "Mohammed Upshaw, a guard, is my date. He's bringing a friend and teammate, Jalen Fell, also a guard. They're coming down from Cleveland for the weekend to check Dayton out. They're both power tops. I made sure to check that out, although this doesn't have to include sex if you're not interested in that." He'd said this in circling the issue until later when he directly asked if I'd lay down for a guy on the first date--specifically for the guy he was trying to set this double date up with.
"I might be interested," I had answered. What I wondered was what my date would think if I tried to tell him I didn't want it to include sex.
"They're both black," he then said, almost apprehensively. But he was black too and that hadn't stopped me from giving him blow and hand jobs. But he had been my first black--and my last, for that matter. I was of Hanoverian stock--meaning of the German variety that had provided a ruling family house for England. All white. But there had been plenty of blacks around me since I'd come to the University of Dayton--mostly big jocks--and, because I spent a lot of time in locker rooms and checked out such things, I'd found that blacks, overall, were a lot better endowed than whites. And, what can I say? Yes, I had a size fetish. I was slim hipped and had a fantasy of a big cock managing to center in on that. A good part of my thrill was in the size I was able to sheath.
"That's fine. It's good," I answered. "And I can't see trying to tell him 'no sex' if he'd come on the date expecting it. I'd manage."
"It's the black scene here they'll want to focus on."
"Fine. Maybe then they'll not want to date a little white boy, like me."
"Oh, no. Jalen's salivating to date you."
"Salivating? How do you know that?"
"I sent him your photo."
"My photo? Me naked?"
"Of course naked."
"So, what you're saying is that Jalen already knows he wants to fuck me on this blind date."
"I don't think it can be called a blind date if he's seen a naked photo of you already, But, yes," Lachon answered, "I sent him one of the ones you sent me when you were trying to make me."
"I sent those when I thought you and I might get it on, Lachon. I didn't send them for you to share with the world."
"I didn't share them with the world, Mark. This is today's dating. Guys want to see what other guys have got."
"So, how do you know they are hung? I suppose they sent you their naked photos too."
"Sure. Of course they did. Here, look. This here's my date, Mohammed Upshaw. And the date you could have, Jalen Fell."
I nearly dropped my teeth. They were prime basketballers--tall and rangy, but with the musculature of gods. And they were monster hung. Mohammed, Lachon's designated date, was masturbating his in his photos. He was bald, but the more handsome, taller, and more muscled of the two. The amused and coy expression he had on his face as he looked into the camera indicated he'd be a fun date. He was the milk chocolate one of the two and arrested my attention more than the other guy, Jalen Fell, did, although there wasn't anything to complain about in the hunk department with Fell either. He was a more dusky black than Upshaw was. In both men, the cock and balls were a darker black than their bodies were, justifying the focus of attention from a viewer there.
"Both gold-foil Trojan Magnum level," Lachon said. I couldn't disagree with that. I couldn't help going hard and wanting to hum at seeing the photos of the two of them.
"So, you want to go on a two-baller double date with these guys and me?" Lachon asked.
"Yes." All sense of "you don't have to give him sex if you don't want to" had flown out the window. That was fine with me.
"You're good with sex being assumed."
"Yes"--with both of them, I was thinking, but I didn't say it.

Jalen Fell was the driver, traveling down to Dayton from Cleveland in a honking black, slicked-up 2006 Lincoln Navigator monster SUV with smoked windows. It was a "looks like new" classic ride. They picked us up outside the UD Arena on a Friday night after Lachon and I had cleaned up after basketball practice. They had been given tickets to watch the practice and I spent a good part of my time carrying water and bandages for the team trying to pick them out in the stands. When I did, I almost hyperventilated, seeing nothing that belied the photos they'd sent. They each were a mountain of sculpted black muscle.
One set of us seemed to have guessed wrong on the dress for the date. Lachon and I showed up in jeans, sneakers, and dressy polo shirts. The Ohio Kings guys showed up in baggy silky athletic shorts drooping to the knees, athletic Ts that dipped at the sides to show bulging muscles and hairy pits, and unlaced combat boots. They didn't look like guys going clubbing in Dayton, but they arrested attention wherever they clubbed with us in Dayton, so I guess they won the battle of the dress code. They both looked like mean muvas and were sexy as hell. There was no question that they would take control.
Since Jalen was driving, I sat in front with him and gave directions, while Lachon and Mohammed wrestled and made out in the shadows of the rear seat while we moved from venue to venue. From the sounds I heard, Mohammed scored before our first stop.
This basically was Lachon and Mohammed's date, as they had hooked up in Cleveland when Lachon went up there to try out for the Kings. They were miles ahead in the date of Fell and me, who had barely met and hadn't fucked already--and maybe wouldn't ever fuck--if I didn't turn Fell on. We were well beyond the question of whether Fell turned me on, though. He reached over to touch or squeeze my knee occasionally as we drove.
"You know what's goin' on back there, don't you?" he asked, giving me a grin.
"It would be hard not to know," I answered.
That was the extent of that for a while--while steam and sucky noises were coming up from the rear seat--but the vibes were there of "let's get it on." It didn't take much for me to get that vibe with a big black, athletic bull--certainly not from either of the black studs in the front and back of this Navigator.
