Stage Struck
Jack’s father was adamant, if Jack wanted to study drama he would have to major in law or some other subject so that he would be assured of employment if acting did not provide a steady income. While Jack had seen the sense in his father’s reasoning, he was determined not to be deterred from doing anything and everything to become a professional actor. His desire to take to the stage had been nurtured in grade school where he was cast in several productions. His ability to read and learn lines amazed his teachers. This coupled with his good looks and stage presence sealed the deal, so to speak.
Time ran its course and with a degree in accountancy and more importantly to him, a degree in drama and stage studies, Jack set out to face the world. Despite parental protestations his first aim was to get a part in a production, whether it be live on stage or in film or TV. He started to scan the stage publications and had lined up a couple of auditions. At each of these the lead person on the audition group said a polite thank for coming today, we liked your performance and we’ll be in touch.
Jack left each audition with mixed feelings. He had done his best to impress and although there had been promises to ‘get in touch’, they were vague. The days turned to weeks, and he had no phone calls. It was just as he was giving up all hope that he had a call from Max Castings, the second of the auditions. They had a part in which he might be interested.
Full of hope that he was going to be offered the junior male lead in a production that could lead to even better things, he made his way to the theatre where the rehearsals were to begin. Greeted by the director he was asked whether he would have any objections to a part that required nudity. Jack said that it would not be a problem as he had acted in an amateur production of Equus when he was in university. It transpired that he had few lines to speak, much of the action that involved his participation took place off stage and would only be heard by the audience. The unseen ‘action’ was a farm boy making out with the daughter of the farmer behind straw bales in a barn. The farmer discovers the lovers and chases the naked farm boy across the stage. The whole thing was over in minutes. Jack realised that this was not going to get him recognised by some movie mogul and would do little if anything to advance his acting career. It did pay a small wage, and as he was strapped for cash, he took the part. The author hoped that his play to be performed in a provincial theatre would ultimately transfer to Broadway. It stood more chances of being transferred to the moon and was a total flop. Jack was out of a job within a week.
He was beginning to think that his father had been right all along and that he was going to have to settle for an office job of some kind if he could not get an internship with a law firm. A couple of days after the disaster with the play he had another call from Max Castings. Full of commiserations, Max gave Jack the name of an agent who could doubtless help him achieve the kind of career he wanted.
Jack was debating with himself as to whether or not he should phone the agent. His experience to date was leading him to think that he should give up all ideas of acting. In the end, his aching desire to make it on the stage got the better of him and he made an appointment to call on Nathan Morris the next day.
Nathan greeted him enthusiastically, having had word from Max, the casting agent. ‘Hi, Jack! Come in have a seat, can I get you a coffee or anything?’ Jack said that a glass of water would be just fine and settled himself on the chair by Nathan’s enormous desk. Nathan was a tall, good looking forty-something, with a neatly trimmed black beard. An appearance that contrasted with Jack’s youthful, clean shaven, blond haired, boyish looks. Nathan’s eyes flashed over the new-comer’s physique and clearly liked what they saw. They chatted for a while, Nathan establishing Jack’s ambitions for his future.
‘Look,’ said Nathan. ‘I like to get to know my clients really well before having them sign a contract. How about you come over to my place this evening for dinner? We can talk some more and if you are happy with the ways in which I can assist you in your career, we can complete the formalities and start looking for work?’ Jack readily agreed, feeling he was making some progress at last.
Set back from the highway and commanding views over the sea, Nathan’s house seemed opulent on the outside and the interior was no less impressive. Jack was wishing that he were wearing something more formal in view of his surroundings but felt easier when Nathan greeted him similarly attired in a Ralph Lauren Polo shirt, immaculate chinos and boat shoes with no socks. ‘Hi! Come into my parlour and make your self at home,’ he greeted Jack giving him a wide welcoming smile. ‘It’s such a fine evening I thought we could dine al fresco by the pool.’
Nathan led the way across the entrance hall, through a vast sitting room and through French windows onto a patio with an illuminated swim pool. A table was set for the meal and Jack was directed to a chair opposite that of his host. Nathan expertly removed the cork from a bottle of French champagne and poured them each a glass. ‘To your good health and our successful relationship,’ Nathan toasted. Jack nodded his agreement and raised his glass feeling somewhat overwhelmed. As they sat a butler appeared with a trolley laden with covered serving dishes on a warming plate heated by spirit flames.
The butler served the various dishes while another young man filled their glasses with wines that each matched the various courses Nathan together with his guest were enjoying. It was after the butler had cleared the table and they were sat side by side sipping liqueurs that Nathan said, ‘Don’t think that every meal in the house is like that. When I have a special guest such as yourself to entertain, I hire the services of a catering company. In the days when I was a struggling actor I worked for them as a waiter. Now that I am established as a theatrical agent it gives me great pleasure to use their services. I guess it kind of feeds my vanity as well as feeding all who share my table.’ Jack was feeling the glow that good food and excellent wines can produce and as the evening continued with yet more drinks, he began to realise that he was he was rather drunk. So far nothing had been said about signing a contract. He decided that he should make a move to leave, hoping that it would cause Nathan to complete the business between them.
Nathan said, ‘I have been rambling on and it is getting late. I think you may be a little tipsy as my old grandmother used to say after a few dry Martinis. Rather than turn you out into the night I shall be pleased to offer you a bed and we can get your signature on the contract after breakfast in the morning. As Jack was living alone with no one to worry if he did not arrive home, he agreed, and Nathan took him up to what he had described as the guest room.
‘This sure is a mighty fine guest room,’ Jack slurred drunkenly as Nathan helped him to shed his clothes. He was pushed down onto the king size bed wearing nothing but his white briefs expecting Nathan to bid him good night and leave the room. Through bleary eyes he saw Nathan peel off his own clothes and, completely naked, get onto the bed beside him. When Nathan turned toward him and began to kiss him on the lips, Jack felt helpless to resist. Fingers trailed across his chest and down over his abdomen. He had sex with a guy before and had no feelings of revulsion over what was happening. Nathan’s gentle exploring hands and now his tongue causing a pleasant tingle. Jack, although hazy, reacted as his would-be agent had hoped, and began to be aroused.
The growing bulge in Jack’s briefs brought a lascivious smile to Nathan’s lips; the younger man was reacting exactly as he had hoped. He slowly slipped his hand under the waist band of Jack’s briefs and let his fingers find their way around the semi-erect penis. Jack let out a soft, satisfied moan as he sub-consciously arched toward the cause of the pleasure he was enjoying. He raised his butt from the bed as his briefs were being lowered and pulled down his thighs. As they landed on the floor with a soft thud he spread his legs as the naked Nathan crawled between them. Jack gasped as lips closed around his now fully erect cock, pushing back his foreskin to expose his hyper-sensitive glans.
Nathan’s tongue and lips, slicked with saliva, were soon further lubricated with copious amounts of pre-cum. Jack was edging towards a climax, something that did not escape the notice of Nathan. He left Jack’s throbbing penis and moved up the bed so that is own erect cock could press against Jack’s lips. In his state of ecstasy Jack gave no resistance and Nathan proceeded to face-fuck his all too willing victim. A short while later, and after he had gagged a couple of times, Jack was conscious of Nathan moving away and being gently turned so that he was face down on the bed. Once again Nathan was between his spread legs and lifting his hips so that while his face was still sideways on the pillow, his rear was raised off the bed supported on his knees.
Hands spread his butt and once again Jack gasped, this time as the warm wet probing tongue searched and slicked. The sensation was entirely new to Jack, who had never been rimmed before. Wishing it might go on forever, the stimulation took on another aspect as a finger penetrated his hole. With gentle massaging, his sphincter relaxed to allow a second finger to join the first as they found his G-spot sending ripples through his body. Content that he had done all to prepare Jack for his next move, Nathan slipped a condom on his cock and applied lube. It took but a small amount of pressure for him to penetrate Jack’s ass and begin to enjoy the delight he had anticipated from the moment he first set eyes on the aspiring young actor.
Jack, who was not in any way an experienced bottom derived pleasure from each stroke as Nathan set up a steady rhythm. He murmured ‘Oh fuck yessssss!’ as Nathan plunged his throbbing cock deep into his ass. Jack was so lost in the new experiences to which he was being subjected, he was uncertain as to how his position had changed. Nathan was now on his back with Jack astride and looking down onto him as he rode his cock. ‘Jerk yourself off,’ Nathan cried. Jack responded and within no time at all splattered his cum on Nathan's abdomen and chest.
A deft move, and Jack found himself lying face up on the bed as Nathan towered over him, jerking his penis, now free of the condom. Warm cum puddled on Jack’s abs and Nathan, gasping, collapsed onto the bed beside him. Both men, exhausted by their exertions fell into an easy sleep, covered only by a damp and sticky sheet.
Nathan was the first to wake when the sun had not only risen but had moved round to shine through the bedroom window onto the recumbent Jack. Moving carefully so as not to wake the younger man, Nathan went into the bathroom and showered. Clad in a towel, he gently shook Jack saying, ‘Hey it’s time to wake up.’ Jack stirred, sat up and rubbing the sleep from his eyes took stock of the scene around him. He slowly began to recollect something of the previous night. In his intoxicate state he had not been fully aware of all that had happened. However, the slight soreness off his butt and the crusted cum on his body left him in no doubt that he had been party to a sex romp.
‘Are you OK?’ Nathan asked. ‘Yeah, I guess so,’ Jack replied. ‘I don’t normally jump into bed on a first date, but I think I may have enjoyed whatever took place here. Maybe next time, if there is to be a next time, I’ll be sober.’
That morning, Jack signed a contract with Nathan and in the years that followed he enjoyed the career he had always desired. He and Nathan became a couple and they lived happily together until Nathan died of a heart attack in his early sixties. Jack assumed the theatrical agency, having reached an age when he was no longer in great demand from casting directors. He was often tempted to seduce an aspiring newcomer but resisted the urge as he never found one that could match the man who became the love of his life.
