Subject: "A Trial Of Strength" - Part 512 by Rob Williams A TRIAL OF STRENGTH ? PART 512 By Rob Williams Chapter 512 ? "BROTHERS UNDER THE SKIN" IN THIS CHAPTER: The brawny construction worker Seth, and handsome, buff fireman Jason could not be more different from each other, but they strike up a friendship and bond like brothers. Just two good, close buddies, they casually experiment with mutual body-worship that leads to more. In the end they discover that, despite their differences and whatever the desires of the flesh, they will always be brothers under the skin. __________________________________________________ _________________ IN THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER Grady, the heartthrob star of the blockbuster Tarzan movies, was having the time of his life. He and his Italian lover Mario were throwing a major party for the tribe at their opulent home, the Grady House, and Grady and his boy (and co-conspirator) Brian, sat on the terrace watching the action. Mario had earlier described then as "a Greek Chorus" at the side of the stage commentating on what's going on in the play." "OK, kiddo," Grady said, "so what's the scoop? Where's the action gonna be d'you think?" "Well, sir, as I see it there's a lot of possibilities. See, Mario told me that these Grady House parties for the whole tribe bring the devil out in them. It's a place for them to let off steam after the pressure of the work-week. Mario says they do stuff here they'd never do anyplace else." Grady beamed. "But that's what I love, Brian ? I love the house being used like that ? a refuge from the world, like it is for me. It's an oasis of love and lust, a world all its own. And Mario is right, all these guys have the devil in them somewhere and I love watching it come out. The crazier they act the more I like it. And I can act as silly as I like and be treated as just one of the guys instead of all that rich-and-famous celebrity nonsense. "So, kiddo, rushing around the way you do, you hear and see it all. I know how you boys all talk, and you keep your ear to the ground ... so what's the buzz?" "Well, sir, the latest buzz is about ... wait for it ..." "Drum roll," Grady grinned, drumming his fists on his knees. "It's about Seth and Jason of all people." Grady's jaw dropped. "Those two? But I've never seen them together ? they're such opposites. I mean, they're both smoking hot but in different ways. "Jason is this drop-dead gorgeous fireman featured in a calendar, the August page as I recall," Grady grinned slyly. "I once told Jason I jerked off over that picture and he told me he jacked off looking at those underwear billboards I used to be on. Kiddo, mutual admiration don't get any better than that. `Course, Jason's also famous for jacking off looking at himself in the mirror, at that flawless physique. I think narcissism like that is kinda hot but I can't see Seth going for it. "Now there you have a guy who don't give a shit what he looks like, which is what makes him so butch and so sexy. Don't get me wrong, Seth is hotter `n a pistol too with that muscular construction-worker build, square, stubbled jaw and shaggy hair. He's a total wildman and when he fucked me ... wow, I was seeing stars ... and it wasn't even dark. Anyway, kid, what's the dirt on those two?" "Well that's just it, sir, we don't know. Nobody knows, not even their boys Ben and Will. But the talk started when they arrived at this party together. We just thought they met by chance at the gate, but when Will asked his dad Seth why he had arrived with Jason, you know what he said?" Brian paused for effect and Grady waited with bated breath. "He said, casual as you like, `Oh, I was down at Jason's place and we decided to share a truck." "I see what you mean ... more questions than answers, eh? Like, what was he doing at Jason's place down there by the arroyo? When the cat's away ... with Will and Ben up here for the night, did Seth and Jason spend the night together down there? And what did they do...?" "Well, sir, if they spent the night together, what do you think they did?" "Yeah, dumb question," Grady smiled. "You'll keep on top of this, won't you? Could be a major story." In the meantime they focused on the rugged Marine Hassan in intimate conversation at the outdoor bar with Tommy, the young blond gymnast who was tending bar. "Looks like Hassan and Tommy are making out ? they're gonna get it on." Sure enough the two men went off together to a clump of trees where, hidden from view, Hassan pushed Tommy against a tree and reamed his gorgeous gymnast butt. Hassan's boy Eddie, concealed in the bushes, surreptitiously filmed the pornographic spectacle of the swarthy Arab soldier pounding the ass of the all-American blond athlete. Afterwards Grady said to Eddie, "You filmed it ... all of it? You little beauty. Hey, later on can we show the video in the screening room downstairs? And Brian, you will keep tabs on the Seth/Jason thing, won't you, and see what they're up to? I have a feeling there's a big story in there somewhere. I love you, kiddo, we make a great team, so be sure to keep me posted." "Don't I always, sir?" Brandon grinned happily. ========= CHAPTER 512 ========= EDDIE SWEET-TALKS HASSAN As the tribe gathered for the opulent buffet lunch set out by the chefs, Grady and Brian repeatedly exchanged conspiratorial glances when they saw various interactions between the men and boys of the large group. By now everyone had gathered and there were many reunion hugs, especially with Uncle Mike and Larry who made only occasional visits to the city from their home in Palm Springs. However, the tribe's grapevine extended as far as Palm Springs, thanks largely to young Eddie, known locally as the town-crier. So they greeted Grady warmly and made sly references to his recent "therapy" with Doctor Chad. And Larry pumped Brian for information on the mystery surrounding Seth and Jason the fireman. Mike and Larry were pleased and amused to learn that they had not entirely missed out on the earlier homoerotic sexual encounter between the Marine Hassan and golden-boy Tommy. Eddie had filmed it and the video's premiere showing was in the works for later that afternoon in the Grady House viewing room. During lunch Eddie ran breathlessly up to Grady. "Sir, the video's ready in the screening room and it looks great." "Well done, Eddie," Grady smiled. "We'll announce a showing after lunch, eh Mario?" "Certamente," provided you have obtained releases from the two men in it." "Obtained what, sir?" Grady explained. "Kiddo, when the studio publicity guys take a picture of me with fans that they want to use for promotion, they get releases from the fans before they can use the picture." "But this is just for us guys, sir." "Same principle," said Mario. "And it's only fair, Eddie. Maybe the men don't want their private scene to be made public." "Tommy does, sir," Eddie protested, "and he's the one who took it up the butt and begged for more. He told me he's all for it, he wants everyone to see." "Well amico, Tommy is something of an exhibitionist and loves to display that perfect ass. But Hassan is a soldier, keeps stuff like this to himself. He may not want his sexual exploits to be put on display, however great they make him look." Eddie looked crestfallen and Mario said. Non disperare, Eddie. Come, we will go talk to him." Hassan was helping himself to food at the buffet table when they approached. "Sir," Eddie said, clearing his throat and looking at the Marine with what he hoped was a winsome expression. Hassan turned and smiled, recognizing the look that meant Eddie wanted something special. "Er ... er Mario wants to ask you something, sir." "Chicken," Mario teased him, then gave Hassan one of his gleaming smiles. "Capitano, Eddie has something of a confession and a related question, as a courtesy to you." "Oh he does," Hassan said sternly. Then, with a gleam in his eye, "If the confession is about filming Tommy and me in the bushes, no need, I already know. He always thinks he's expert at keeping hidden but I can always sense when he's there, I know him too well. So how about the question? Can't you speak for yourself, punk ? cat got your tongue? Nah, that would be a first. Usually I can't stop you talking, and now I have to wind you up?" "Sorry, sir, it's just I'm a bit scared. Sometimes you ... well, you know, you can be a bit fierce, like, you remember that time when you ...?" Hassan glared at Eddie, then grinned at Mario. "OK, OK, sir, sorry, too much information. Er, thing is, sir, I have it all set up in the big screening room downstairs, but Grady says before we all watch I have to get a ... a relief ...?" "Release, Eddie," Mario prompted. "Yeah, that's the one, a release ... sort of permission to show the video in public." Hassan frowned. "Show me, banging Tommy? Hell no. That was a private fuck job, it's why we did it in the bushes, for privacy. Anyway who in the hell would wanna sit through a video of a Marine butt-fucking a young gymnast like Tommy?" "Duh! Just about everyone ? every last one of them, man and boy. That video would be a major hit, right up in the top ten, sir. You gotta let me screen it sir. See, I'm the director, cameraman and editor, it's some of my finest work ? and some of your finest work to, sir, if I may say so. We owe it to the tribe ..." "Enough!" Hassan was one of the few men who could stop Eddie talking with one word. But this is what he loved about his boy ? his youthful enthusiasm, outsized energy and his natural talent to seduce by exaggeration. Hassan arched an eyebrow at Mario. "What do you think about this, buddy?" Mario trod carefully. "Well, amico, Eddie may be overplaying the promotion of his movie ? like those old-fashioned movie trailers that screamed `Colossal ... Stupendous'. But he's right about one thing. I'm sure that, in the spirit of the party, the guys would all love to see it. And it would help make our party a success." Hassan laughed. "You're as bad as Eddie, Mario, though a lot more subtle. OK, if you put it like that, as you and Grady have been so generous. So Eddie, you can have your relief or release or whatever you call it. I don't have to be there, though, do I?" Once again Eddie looked at Mario for support, and Mario answered for him. "Of course, capitano, you are under no obligation to attend. But you are the star of the movie and I think the audience would appreciate the opportunity to congratulate you and Tommy." Eddie beamed. "Couldn't have said it better myself, sir." "Though you would have taken ten times as long, kid," Hassan laughed. "OK, you two win ? I'll sit in the back row in the dark." Their conversation was interrupted by Randy banging a knife against a glass for attention. Eddie ran up to him and whispered, "It's a go, sir." PRODUCED
