As long as I could remember, Alec had been my best friend. Best friend didn't even quite begin to describe it. Alec was the boy with whom I had pulled worms out of the dirt and speared them on fishing hooks, the adolescent I had stood awkwardly in line to sign up for high school with, the teenager I laughed with late into the night as we talked about which g...
"Do I need to make any special preparations for the shoot?" I could tell what he was hinting at and I replied in the most professional and straightforward manner possible. "Well, since we will be doing some shots with insertable toys, you will need to be very clean," I paused and then to be sure he got my intent, "Internally that is." "That's no problem."...
The first day at sea was formal night and he dressed up for dinner with his parents. When they asked him what he had been up to all day he got a little flustered and said he had met some new friends. He was sure they could tell that that wasn't the whole truth, but they didn't press further. It was hard to focus during the meal. All he could think about we...
It was Sunday morning and I decided to text Drew, Aaron, and Kurt. [Shane]: Hey, guys. Since we haven't gotten together for a while and I miss you, how about doing breakfast or lunch? At least, that's what I told them. They didn't need to know the truth—Donovan was working and I needed to distract myself. It wasn't until I stepped out of the shower tha...
Part 7: Fraternity Service The morning's activities were once again labeled cryptically, this time as "Fraternity Service". When we got down to the breakfast table, we found that there was no food there. Instead, there was a note that said that pledges were required to service fraternity members before they would have anything to eat. We were to draw a name...
I am continuing this long dormant story of male discovery by request. Saturday morning I woke up early. The anticipation and resulting anxiety of that night's date had invaded my usual easy slumber. I sat on the edge of my bed trying to decide what to do. Greg was in his own bed snoring away. As had become our habit he was sleeping in the nude. Since the w...
My girlfriend, Amber, and I returned to my dorm room with a friend of mine, Drew, after a party. We were all kind of drunk, and I could tell Amber was up to something. She usually gets pretty mischievous when she's had a few. "That sure was a fun party. But I don't think the fun has to end just yet," Amber giggled as she twirled around in my room. Drew an...
Michael: We were just kids, when he said, "I promise, Mikey, I'll protect you, no matter what. We'll always be friends." And, as small as I was, I believed him. I was just a slip of a child, built smaller than most of the boys in school. Tommy wasn't built very big, but was dramatically bigger than me. I loved him, even then. His bright blonde locks seemed...
The air conditioner rattled and hummed in the tropical air, but inside the office at the top of the iron staircase it felt as if it was doing nothing but stirring the humidity around. If there was any coolness, it came more from the big ceiling fan that whirled and clacked in the centre of the ceiling. Luca sat back in his office chair under the fan and smi...
Richey had been somewhat of a phantom the next morning. His truck wasn't in the parking lot when I arrived. The only reason I knew he was even at school was a glimpse I'd seen of him from across the hall during a class change. We shared lunch and last period with Sumner. Until then, I'd have to be patient. Lunch. Lunch meant Arthur Campbell. Arthur Campbell...
