February 2023
A block and a half from my dad’s house, on the very street where I grew up, a man waits on his knees almost naked, clad only in a well-worn jock.
For decades, my dad and his next-door neighbors boasted the longest occupancy of anyone in the neighborhood. The elderly sisters who lived in the house adjacent to his, both professors at the HBCU down the street, passed away a decade ago, though, leaving my dad the area’s oldest and most enduring resident. Both he and I still refer to the houses by the names of the owners we knew when we moved there in 1971. I recite them as I walk down the block. The Alexanders lived here, the Duffys beyond, the Beckstoffers further down. It’s been an unusually warm early February, with temperatures in the seventies. With every step, with every bounce of my half-aroused dick in my shorts, I look through the windows of the homes I used to know well. The people living within seem like happy, ordinary families. They’re just not families I know, anymore.
I’m in Virginia on an emergency visit. The day of my birthday, I’d called my father before going out for the evening. He’d sounded strange, weak—disoriented and as if unsure of where or who he was. He’d been on a heavy four-day course of steroids, he gradually told me, prescribed by his physician prior to a couple of hormone-suppressing injections that were to lead up to his second round of radiation therapy for a return of his prostate cancer. He sounded out of it, and never once acknowledged my birthday. He’d been so unable to choose words or complete his sentences that my alarm bells began ringing. I asked him if he could manage for the evening by himself or whether he needed me to call someone. Eventually, he assured me he’d go to bed and lie down, and that he’d call if he needed me.
The next morning, he’d phoned. “I need help,” is all he’d said. I’d packed a week’s worth of things and had been on the road to Virginia within the hour. I’d found him weak, almost unable to stand; during my six-hour drive, he’d revisited his primary care physician, who’d suggested he was dehydrated.
When he wasn’t any better after two days of bed rest and many tumblers of water, I suggested we take him to an urgent care facility for a second opinion. The caregivers there had wanted him to visit an emergency room immediately, to rule out a stroke. After a thirteen-hour stint in St. Mary’s ER, during which various doctors kept saying they didn’t think his symptoms indicated any kind of neurological event, after a very late night MRI, a doctor arrived with results that indicated my dad had suffered two strokes a week before, both in the posterior region. St. Mary’s admitted him at two a.m. the following morning, and here I’ve been, stuck in Virginia for the indefinite future.
Enough of the hospital. My butt has been numbed by hospital chairs for days. If I’m not at the hospital, I’m thinking about the hospital, or about what I’ll have to do for my dad after he gets out of the hospital. I’ve been ungrudging with my care for a week, now. It’s time to be selfish. And right now, all I want to think about is my dick.
I pause to cross the street. One thing about my old neighborhood that’s changed since my childhood: it sure harbors a lot more homosexuals than it used to. The guy I’m heading to visit is a mere eight hundred feet away, but he’s not even the closest man hunting for sex on the apps. There’s HUNGTOP9 somewhere within a five-hundred-foot radius of my dad’s home, and a couple that only plays together who are looking for young and hung, that’s even closer. On Sniffies, I see a dozen shadowy outlines of cocks on avenues where I learned to ride my bike, or photos of pert, upturned asses splayed along streets I’d walk to my piano lessons. I don’t know how long this—what’s the gay counterpart to gentrification?—has been going on, but I’m entirely in favor.
There’s a vibration against my side. My pulse quickens as I read the message on my phone. Bedroom’s at the top of the stairs. I’m ass up for you, Sir. I’m already half-erect in these terrycloth shorts; I’m going to have to spend the rest of the short walk with my hands thrust in my pockets, if I get any harder. Before I darken the screen, another message pops up, punctuated by a devil emoji Just saw your message about the ball gag.
My what, now? I break stride, confused for a split-second. Oh, I think. He’s joking. The dude is pretending I’d sent him such a text, so that when I show up and find him kneeling on the mattress, legs spread, I won’t be surprised to see him chomping on the ball gag he rarely gets to bring out. The sexual prop that makes him feel extra slutty. Okay. I can play along.
Good thing I definitely sent that, I tap back, one hundred percent sure we’re both on the same page when it comes to playfulness.
My erection—by now at three-quarters mast—is protruding enough to be seen by any cars passing on my dad’s sleepy boulevard, but my phone is vibrating again. I shove my right hand in my pocket and use my fingers to tamp it down, while with the left I navigate my messages. Now that I know what a kinky fucker you are we can have some real fun, it reads. Then, immediately after, I’ve set up a scenario you might like. You’ll see when you get here.
So far, I’m pleased with this guy. We’ve never discussed anything kinky. Not as far as I remember. Back in 2020, when I was down here for my dad’s radiation treatments at the pandemic’s scariest period, we’d exchanged a couple of mild messages about how it would’ve been nice to connect, if either of us had been hooking up. Which we weren’t. Periodically since, we’ve exchanged a couple of hellos. But today is the first time we’d both agreed we were mutually horny and available. At the same time, though, I’m intrigued. I like scenarios. Judging by the way it’s attempting to escape the temporary prison of my fingers, my dick seems to like the prospect of a scenario, too.
I look both ways and cross the final street. His house is a two-story colonial on the corner. The yard’s neatly kept, the gardens prepped for spring. Heart thumping, I tread the walkway. When my feet hit the stoop, I see the front door slightly ajar. One key sits in the lock; several others dangle on a ring beneath.
I grin. So this is his big scenario. It’s not the first time I’ve encountered men craving a home intruder fantasy. When I pull open the door and step over the threshold, for a moment I’m apprehensive—there’s a big difference between an intruder role-play fantasy versus walking into the wrong home and being mistaken for an actual burglar by a gun-wielding homeowner.
But the layout of his home is just as he said, with carpeted stairs on the left and a sound of stirring beyond the top step. I set the keys onto the glass-topped table, just inside the door, which I shut behind me. He’s left a trail to follow, too. Not breadcrumbs, but pieces of clothing strewn in a path, beginning with shoes and socks, his tie, then a shirt, and ending with a pair of dress trousers tossed in a heap by the bedroom door.
Now that I’ve entered the stranger’s house, I allow my dick to leap free; it’s tenting my shorts at the sight of the man on his bed, face down, ass up, sprawled with his legs wide and a pillow tucked under his head. It’s a super-casual pose that I deduce is supposed to connote, Oh golly, I was so tired from work that I had to shuck off all my clothes except this jockstrap I happened to be wearing and then I just collapsed here on the bed for a quick nap in this super-awkward position that exposes my butthole.
It’s a good scenario, all right.
“Well, lookee here,” I say aloud, halfway between a whisper and a snarl. My hands rub together in greedy expectation. “Thought this big ol’ house was empty. You made a mistake, mister, leavin’ those keys in the door so some stranger could come walkin’ right in.” Whenever I’m in Virginia, my Southern drawl tends to creep back; in this situation, it floods loose, loud and confident, making me sound like a bit player from Smokey and the Bandit. I kick off my sneakers. My shorts drop to the floor. “Guess I’ll be takin’ whatever I want.”
My words have the desired effect. The man’s hole gapes and twitches.“What do you want?” he says in a low tone, playing along. The homeowner is a handsome older man. I knew that from the photos on Scruff. He’s one of those fellows for whom photos don’t really do justice, though; the serious mug shot he’s posted on the app doesn’t show the heft of his muscles, nor the ass made round and full by countless squats over the years. Of course, I say he’s older, but I’m his senior by half a decade. He’s the one with the silver hair, though. He’s the one with his ass in the air.
I slap it, causing him to groan with pleasure. “Maybe this is what I want. For starters. Then that pretty mouth of yours.”
It’s not until I’m kneeling on the floor and shoving my face between his cheeks that I remember: didn’t the dude imply he’d be wearing a ball gag? Because I certainly didn’t see one. I’m gnawing at his hole while mentally reviewing my view from just moments before. Jock: yup. Other garments: nope. Ball gag: nuh-uh. Well, I’m not here to fuss about little details. Obviously I’m giving the guy what he wants, judging by the sighs and unsubtle gyrations of his hips. I use my fingernails to scratch ten pink trails down the surface of his ass cheeks, then dig in to pry them further apart.
The man’s hole tastes good. Clean. Ready. When I slide in a thumb, there’s no resistance; his ass is going to spread so easily. I like a loose gape. “Lookit you,” I say with contempt. “You some kind of cocksucker or something? You sure like that fine hole fingered.” Instinctively the man’s broad shoulder push themselves into the mattress. His ass rises; the small of his back curves in a submissive arch. My cock is engorged, by this point. It’s leaking precum like crazy. I could probably just shove it right on in and glide to the base without a drop of extra lube, but I’m enjoying putting this man in his place, first. “I asked you a question, faggot.”
“Fuck that hole, sir,” he says into the pillow. His voice sounds strained and anxious, as if he’s gone without filling for far too long. “If you need to fuck it, fuck it.”
“Dunno if I need to fuck it.” Since moving away, my vowels have rarely sounded so honeyed. I suck on two of my fingers, while I let the tip of my cock brush against the extremities of his cheeks. He tries to move back, to feel its kiss once more, but I’m too much of a tease to allow such a thing. “Looks like pussy.” I shove both fingers inside the loose hole. “Sure feels like pussy.” I twist in my digits until I hit the knuckles. “Maybe it fucks like pussy.”
“Please.” He snuffles the syllable into the pillow. It sounds again, but this time as a long, agonized supplication. “Please.”
The last sibilant hasn’t even crossed his lips than he rears his head and lets out a mighty roar. I’ve plunged inside, lubed with nothing more than spit and brazen desire. His hole feels good—hot and welcoming, the cozy refuge I’ve craved all week. I’ve got some aggression to work out, too, after long days of dealing with medical staff and one unusually crabby old man. This ass is what I’ve chosen to make suffer.
Not that he’s in pain, mind you. With grunts and growls he meets my assault, lifting his hips higher and spreading his own cheeks open so I might plunder him even more deeply. When he swings his head from side to side, trying to clear either his brain or his vision, or both, sweat flies in every direction. He’s like a wet dog shaking bathwater from his fur. I give his meaty ass another slap, and let loose with profanities that I know will excite him further.
“I should fuckin’ tie you up and call every thievin’ motherfucker I know to come dump a load in this slutty, wet hole. Feels so damn good.” Another slap, and he plants his face in the pillow once more with a grunt. “You’d probably like that too, huh, cocksucker?” When he doesn’t answer, I pull out all the way and wait, my scarlet inches wet and throbbing. “I asked you a question, son.”
“Yes sir,” he aspirates. He’s barely able to weave vowels to the consonants. “Whore me out. You own this hole.”
“Fuuuuuck.” I extend to word as long as it’ll go. “Damn right I do. You want more?”
“Yes sir. Please don’t stop, sir.”
I immerse myself inside him as far as I’ll go, and make myself swell. “You mean, like that?”
“Yes sir. Just like that.”
“Then what do I do? I dunno what you gay boys like,” I snarl.
“Go in and out. Just…please fuck me, sir.” His deep voice strains with desperation. “Use it. Breed this fag ass. Whore it out to your buddies.”
“In and out, huh? Hungry-ass li’l pig,” I growl, as I get back into the rhythm I’d established before. “Takin’ strange dick from any motherfucker who sees that open door. Damn, that’s sick.”
“Yes sir.” His breathing is becoming more labored.
“You’re a nasty boy, huh.”
“Yes sir, a real nasty boy.”
“Cum-guzzlin’, fuck-takin’, butt-hungry white-collar businessman with a hankerin’ for redneck meat…” I don’t even have time to reflect on how the verb to hanker never, ever makes an appearance in my vocabulary; his body begins to shake and spasm. I see his hand grab for his dick. With a mighty roar, he directs it in my direction, between his legs, so that it points back between his legs to the floor. Semen jets from the flared tip and lands on the wood with an audible splat. Another jet. Still another. It’s icing my black footie socks and oozing between the floorboards by the time he’s finished.
But just because he’s done doesn’t mean I am. “Shiiiiiiiit,” I drawl. “Must’ve really like my big ol’ dick. Fuckin’ cocksucker.” I grab a hip with one hand, and wrap the elastic of his jock around the back of the other, pulling him toward me. He’s compliant fuckmeat, now, and keeps his hole loose and open for me as I finish inside. “Get that pussy open for me, yeah, like that,” I growl. “Like that. Just like that. Just like…”
My own climax is deafening, when it arrives. I haven’t even so much as jerked off, this last week. My load floods his cunt. Over the roar of fire in my veins, I hear him grunt with surprise. Maybe it’s at the molten warmth of my load. Maybe it’s at the sheer volume of my wordless cries. He’s leaking now, so much that my nuts are soaked. “Now that’s the way you do it,” I say as my convulsions subside. I slap his ass before I pull out.
Now I’m sitting on a chair at the bedroom’s edge, a bit off-balance in my post-coital haze. A quick getaway is what I expect to make—since I’m a home intruder and all—but while I’m groping for my clothing, the man I’ve been fucking flips around to face me. Actually, it’s more as if he slides from the mattress and oozes onto the floor, like a boneless sludge, to assume a kneeling posture before me. “Holy fuck,” he pants.
I crack a grin as I put one leg through my shorts, then the other. “No kidding,” I say in my regular voice, now that the spell is broken.
He slumps against the bed frame and runs his hands through his short gray hair. “Holy fuck,” he says once more, shaking off the perspiration he’s collected. “You didn’t want the ball gag, though?”
I mean, he’d been the one suggesting he should wear the damn thing, then chose not to. “You tell me.” I shrug.
He watches as I pull back on my t-shirt. “So, I’ve gotta ask. You always travel with a collection of paddles?”
“What?” I say, taken aback. The question is so bizarre that I automatically laugh. I try to make a joke out of it. “No, not always.”
“How about that tens machine?” I know what a tens machine is. I’ve been around the block a few times, you know. But I can’t imagine why in the world he thinks I have one. I just stare, while he begins rattling off a list of gear. “I mean, it’s kind of crazy to think you pack a suitcase with those and the sounds, and a whole set of restraints. What kind of portable gloryhole do you have? Did you make it? Or buy one online?”
There’s more, but as he peppers me with questions, I’m felling unsettled feeling. It’s not dissimilar from looking at an illustration of a rabbit and then discovering that someone else is viewing the same thing and thinks it’s a duck—or that stupid controversy a few years back when people were arguing whether a single dress was black and blue, when it was obviously gold and white. I’ve been so certain that my view of the encounter had been one thing. Suddenly I’m being challenged to think that it’s perhaps something else.
The realization is not comfortable.
It’s not helped when I clear my throat and attempt to distance myself from his line of questioning with, “Oh, I put your keys on that table next to the front door.”
“Keys?” He sounds as flabbergasted by my non-sequitur as I’d been by his interrogation.
“Your house keys,” I say. Maybe the sexual haze hasn’t quite cleared from his brain. “I put them on the glass table?”
“Where’d you get my keys?”
“They were in your door?” I’m thinking, the whole home intruder scenario you set up? Remember?
But he looks blank. “Oh, did I leave my keys in the door? Really?”
“Wait.” He’s totally taken me aback. “You said you’d set up a hot scenario for me. Wasn’t it…?”
He tilts his head, not understanding. “I left clothes for you to follow. Didn’t you see them?”
I stand, laughing. This encounter has navigated a hairpin curve from hot to bizarre in a record timeline. “I’ll see you later,” I say, ruffling the guy’s hair and making a swift beeline for the stairs.
“Hit me up again sometime,” he calls to my back. “We’re so close.”
All the short walk home I can’t get one thought out of my head. This guy thought I was someone else. He’d mixed me up with another Scruff dude he’d been texting, some hot dom in leather who travels with a trunk full of gear and a portable glory hole. Here I’d arrived in Richmond with no more than a cock ring, a dirty mind, and a grin on my bearded face, while he’d been fantasizing about a rough ol’ top who’d show up with spiked paddles and electrical hookups and a freakin’ ball gag. I mean, I guess he’d seemed satisfied, but was he sitting at home right now thinking to himself, That guy was pretty tame for a sick fuck with a Saint Andrew's cross and a collection of dildos shaped like horse dicks?
And—oh, god. How badly had I misread the whole home invasion role-play thing? Here I’d thought we both were being impish, mischievous little devils spicing up an encounter, when all along he’d only forgotten and left his keys in the door in his haste to be butt-up for some fucker who wasn’t me. Holy fuck, could I be more dim? Stupid, stupid, stupid…
I interrupt my mental self-flagellation and roll over on the uncomfortable twin mattress that’s my bed for the foreseeable future. My phone’s buzzing. That’s the hottest fuck I’ve had in years, the guy a block and a half away has texted. Thank you, sir. My hole is yours anytime you need it.
I roll back over again. All right, I think, as my anxieties ebb and my usual sexual cockiness flows in its place. Maybe I hadn’t done so badly, after all. Even without a trunk full of sex toys. After a review like that, I’m more inclined to see the guy again, sometime in the future.
Providing he understands who I am, of course.
