Tenting Tonight, chapter 23
When Ze’ev flew back to Israel, there was a perceptible change in Russlan. He was not yet ready to open up more. It was already clear to us that there was a great deal more he wanted to tell us - but not yet. Paul L counseled all of us to go easy on Russlan. He had been away from us for years. He had revealed that a schoolboy relationship with the son (though from an early, long-ended marriage) of KGB Director Yuri Andropov, later to head the Soviet regime briefly, had propelled him into a lifetime of fear, and unfortunately, the fear may have been warranted.
This Andropov was the same KGB director who entertained a scheme to cripple or maim Rudolf Nureyev, the ballet superstar whose defection to the West was seen as treasonous in the USSR. And whose encore had been similar plans to injure the ballerina Natalia Makarova after her defection. You have to wonder about a man whose first son, though from an estranged marriage, was essentially abandoned, and when he learned that son was “blue,” Russian slang for “gay,” apparently sanctioned his execution, according to Russlan’s story.
No wonder Russlan was desperate to find a way to the West. No wonder that after his own refusal to go back to the USSR (details of which he hadn’t discussed with us), he lived in fear that agents of the KGB would have special reason to hunt him down. And when people he believed were KGB agents attacked his own boyfriend, Robert, and the boyfriend’s brother, Liam, Russlan believed that the attack had really been against him. He really believed that except for an accident of fate that put red-haired Liam at Robert’s side, and red-haired Russlan waiting in a lobby nearby, both he and Robert might be dead, instead of only Robert. Our Liam had almost lost an eye in that attack, but he had survived.
Something still bothered me, though. Liam had told us that just as the attack began, one of the young men attacking Robert and Liam had said, “Is this your faggot brother,” or words to that effect. I kept turning the words over and over again in my mind. If they thought Liam was Russlan, why would they have said that? To whom were the words addressed? To Robert? To Liam, whom Russlan told us they thought was Russlan? I decided that once Paul L thought it was OK to discuss things with Russlan, I’d try to raise this with him and get it clear in my head. Maybe there was an easy answer. Maybe there was no answer. I just hoped that Russlan was finally being completely open with us.
Russlan. I wondered what he had whispered in Paul’s ear that evening before Ze’ev’s return to Israel. He’d been fucking my Paul, and he had said something that apparently drove Paul wild with desire. There was a change in his sexuality, too. We’d usually seen Russlan as a bottom, mainly. Russlan would fuck other men one on one, but there was another side to him, the obsessive bottom who always wanted to be fucked by everyone present. I’d also wondered about that. Was Russlan a collector of numbers (shades of John Rechy’s novel, Numbers)? Was he just obsessive? Why the need, sometimes, to have sex until it hurt? Was it the hurting that turned him on? He never showed other signs of masochism, and he was a skilled and loving top. But every once in a while, maybe when the moon was right, he wanted every cock in the room rammed into his ass, over and over again. Even inveterate bottoms had topped Russlan. He would turn them on so - once in a while, an older friend of Paul L’s would join us for dinner, some men as old, perhaps, as 80... but if this divine madness struck Russlan, then the elderly professor or in once case, confessor, would wind up with his penis in Russlan’s charming and talented rectum, sometimes having sex for the first time in years, much to his own amazement (and delight).
Or put another way, Russlan’s ass would go to the top of any gay man’s Must Fuck list, and probably join a good many lists of natural wonders.
I turned the history over and over in my mind. Russlan had gone missing in January, 1984, when the year was barely three days old. I remember how upset our Liam was. Liam went to London to study in the fall of 1988, and his Pan Am flight home for Christmas went down in Lockerbie, Scotland. Ze’ev had gone home to Israel at the time of the first Gulf War, and Frank had decided to retire to Florida, which is technically still his residence, but Paul L insisted that Frank remain on the payroll as director of security for his business interests, telecommuting at times, but flying up to Boston if we needed him, and we needed him for most holidays. Paul L had assigned Frank to figure out if the phantom figure we saw lurking on the street across from Lindoro’s was Russlan or not. The moment he was needed, Frank was in Boston. Having given up his apartment when he moved to Florida, Frank now had a room in Paul L’s residence above Lindoro’s.
When Russlan disappeared in 1984, Paul L had instructed his staff to give us a summary of any developments in the case. There were very few, and gradually, this became a monthly memo on events of the day that might have any bearing on the case. That was why we were well-informed about Boris Yeltsin’s surprising (to us, as to many in the West and in Russia) liberalization of laws regarding gays. The new Russia that was envisioned after the fall of communism never materialized.
The US had spent a great deal of money helping get Europe on its feet, economically, after World War II. President Harry Truman, a student of history, a veteran of World War I and a victim of the post-war recession that followed, had the broad, strategic vision to see that a Europe with a healthy economy would be a natural ally for the US and a natural bulwark against communism. Truman’s vision had extended even further: he had named the resulting plan for a national hero, Gen. George C. Marshall, then serving as Truman’s secretary of state, rather than allowing it to be credited to himself, so that the plan would pass Congress, as it did.
An instructive parallel: Gay life in Germany had flourished in the 1920s, but the rise of fascism in the form of German national socialism had led to a Holocaust not only for the Nazis’ first target of choice, the Jews, but also for gays, gypsies, and a host of others “unfit to live.” Many of those who became visible in the 1920s became prisoners or ashes in the 1930s-40s. American investors like Henry Ford, seeking a bulwark against Bolshevism, had financed both the rise of national socialism and the subversion of the new democracy by fascists. American investment in Russia in the 1990s favored some of the worst elements in Russian national life, and the US will pay for Poppy Bush’s willful negligence for decades.
Had the US had a president with any real vision even a spine, in 1991, when the USSR collapsed inward on itself, the US might have had a natural ally in the new Russia. Not Poppy Bush, who disdained what he called “that vision thing.” In the critical winter of 1991-1992, the coldest in decades, when the Soviet police state was gone and it became clear that Soviet infrastructure for delivery of basic human needs had only worked under a police state, Poppy turned his backy on the Russkies, play wicky-wacky with his gallabiah-clad oil cronies. His failure to provide assistance ensured the rise of crime-lord-ruled oligarchies in Russia that robbed the state of any future as a democracy, and led directly to the return of KGB elements to rule Russia. Gay life had emerged from the closet under Yeltsin at first, but when the worst elements in the Russian psyche took control control, de facto if not de jure discrimination became the norm once again.
At Lindoro’s, we learned about all this through Paul L’s staff reports that kept alive, for us, the dream that Russlan would come back to us. But what, if anything, had events in Russia to do with Russlan’s reappearance in our lives? Was he himself somehow connected to the KGB? Could we trust him 100%? Everyone hoped we could. I wondered.
We began, gradually, to realize that Paul L was grooming Liam10 as his eventual successor at Lindoro’s, and we were all happy for Liam10. The two of them make a wonderful couple. Paul L and Liam10 were the ones among us who reached out the most to Russlan, who sometimes joined them as a threesome in their large bedroom. Russlan’s English began to improve again - it had clearly deteriorated in the years he had been away - but he never lost either the accent or the syntax of a speaker of Russian. Paul L asked him one evening if he still had anyone in Russia to visit, and he just shrugged. I wondered.
For whatever reason, and perhaps because he felt some guilt around Bobby’s death, Russlan had a habit of coming to our bed as well, and offering himself to my Paul. It was Paul, more than anyone, who still suffered actively around the death of our Lingam, and Russlan seemed to feel that he could assuage Paul’s grief by offering him his red-haired body and his Energizer bunny ass. Paul and I discussed this, and I never discouraged him from taking Russlan up on his offer. I myself enjoyed fucking Russlan from time to time as well.
Russlan had an odd way of making himself available, sexually. Almost after the fashion of a tribal slave, any expression of desire, or any physical affection, led Russlan to begin doffing his clothing, anywhere in the residence. It was as if he wanted to be seen, to be seen to be submissive, to be seen to be regretful, to humiliate himself. Although none of us ever got into humiliation in the sexual arena per se, it was very odd to greet someone with a kiss at the door and have him immediately strip naked and offer his ass on the welcome mat. I don’t say it put us off any... over the months that followed, I’d take the Lindoro’s elevator up, the door would open, and there, on the carpet in front of the elevator, would be Russlan, naked, lubed, his legs spread, his ass winking and ready. More than once, I simply opened my fly and went in. (And ruined an Italian silk suit with lube that wouldn’t come out.)
Or the door would open, and there would be my Paul, seated on a chair that Russlan had pulled up opposite the elevator door, and Paul would be reading his mail while Russlan, naked, on his knees, would be blowing Paul or sometimes rimming him. Eventually, the mail would be tossed aside as Paul got into fucking Russlan. Sometimes, I’d find Paul just nosing Russlan’s red pubes, as if trying to find something. And once in a while, Paul would be rimming Russlan prior to fucking him. The rarest of all was to find Russlan fucking Paul, which always happened at Paul’s request, and usually was a prelude either to a threesome in our bed, or to Paul’s wanting to be fucked deeply and wildly. I was more than willing to comply.
Liam10, also, was the object of Russlan’s desire. Liam10 too would get off the elevator and find Russlan on his knees, his mouth poised at just the right height. At first, Liam10 would laugh it off, but eventually, the steamy sight of that naked body with the lips and tongue that worked wonders on a glans won out, and it got to the point where sometimes Liam10 would get on the elevator downstairs and open his fly, getting himself hard (if he wasn’t already hard) on the way up, so that the elevator door would open, and if Russlan was there, Liam would plug in. One time, the elevator door closed on Liam10, and he was just lucky that his foot was in the right position, or the elevator door would have closed on his hardon. Ouch!
For me, Russlan selected rimming as his prime offering. We were often naked in the evenings, all of us, or all but Paul L, who would wear a silk dressing gown but could easily be persuaded to take it off. One evening, when I was watching television with everyone, sitting on an easy chair just like my Paul’s, I was startled to feel the easy chair give way beneath me. I jumped up and looked down, only to see Russlan’s face where my ass had been. It turned out that he had scoured the local stores for a similar chair to mine, and he had cut open a trap door just under the seat. He had reinforced the seat so that the person - almost always I, let’s face it - seated there would not fall through. But it allowed him to scoot under the chair, narrow as he was, and to lick his way to my heart.
You would think that the furniture at Lindoro’s would be all stained with cum from all of the sex we had non-stop. First, it wasn’t non-stop, exactly. We did have lives, jobs, other interests. And I haven’t mentioned the Lindoro’s staff.
When we first got to know Paul L, I kind of wondered what his sex life had been like before us, since once he had us as his friends, we became so close. The answer was not clear for a while, because we did not yet realize that he had been keeping Albert’s memory alive and his own insecurities in check by pretending to the world that Albert WAS alive. When we knew that and still loved him, he became dedicated to us more than ever, and we built our lives with him. We were concerned always that he not think us parasites who hung with him for his money, but we had hung with him long before we knew he was anything but the maitre d’hôtel at Lindoro’s. He was not celibate during those years that he was alone. Far from it. Paul L always found people in need and made their need into a cause in which he could do good.
With all the students who come to Boston every year, there are always a certain number of young men of limited means who find that they can stretch their dollars by making themselves available, on a limited basis, for sex. There was at one time, as has been mentioned earlier, an all-male brothel on the Fenway, at which Ivy League college students made a few extra bucks, or made up for money lost gambling or lost through other pursuits. I never saw the place; it was gone before my time in Boston, but I have heard older gay men swear to its existence. I confess I would like to have been able to visit the place. I like the idea of all these students, no doubt some gay, some straight, serving as escorts. I know, I know, I suppose it was deeply demeaning for a straight man to offer his ass for payment, or to learn to take phalli into his mouth for filthy lucre, but knowing some of the frat types and hoity-toity legacies who are at the social center but the academic periphery of the Ivy League, I would like to have seen it. I suspect it would have been amusing. Maybe not.
Gay establishments pre-Stonewall and pre-liberation had a tenuous existence, often at the mercy of organized crime, who found in illegal homosexual venues a source of income and protection money. After Stonewall, in the early 1970s, gay clubs began to spring up and flourish in the decade of sheer hedonism before we all learned how vulnerable (and how despised by some government bigwigs) we were. Friends, including some classical musicians of note, who were students at that time say that there were places where older and younger mixed freely, without the sharp divisions in today’s gay club scene. There were always places where young could meet young, but there were also plenty of small clubs where old and young could mingle and meet and mate. At some of these, students who didn’t ordinarily hustle might become hustlers of opportunity for some older men, or for other students who had means, and some romances were born under those circumstances.
Nevertheless, there were always guys who were taken advantage of by someone or other, gay guys who had been down on their luck and had peddled their asses, supposedly straight guys who had found it necessary or convenient to be gay for pay and had found themselves in over their heads; guys who had discovered their gay selves and had been disowned by their families, guys who had various substance abuse issues... guys who had a strike of one kind or another against them, and who needed a friendly hand up to help them regain a toehold in life. Paul L did not set out to collect stray cats, but his generous nature and his personality were such that he always helped guys without taking advantage of them, guys who might otherwise have wound up in serious trouble of one kind or another. We had noted early on that quite a few of the Lindoro’s staff were very easy on the eyes, to put it mildly. As we got to know Paul L better, we realized that quite a few of them were guys down on their luck who had turned to Paul L for help without strings. They might turn to Paul L for help with school after dropping out for lack of funds and hustling for a while. They might get to know him through friends who were patrons of Lindoro’s and then turn to him when they needed help because not every sugar daddy was benign in his intentions, and they found they needed protection. Paul L had found Albert in a similar way, when Paul L was still escorting and Albert was his client. Paul L told us that Albert had never held it against him that he had been a sex worker, especially after hearing about Paul L’s grandfather. He had never treated Paul L with anything but affection and respect, and that by itself told Paul L that Albert was worth getting to know. Eventually, they had a life together, and when Paul L was left alone, he continued to be of help to those in need. My Paul and I wonder what it was about us and our Lingam that drew Paul L to us, and we kid him that we are also among his stray cats. He laughs, but he does not contradict us.
Among the young folk who worked for Paul L over the years that we have known him, several stand out:
Sharunas, a Lithuanian violist trying to establish himself as a concert artist, played chamber music at Lindoro’s, sometimes with world-class colleagues who ate there when on tour in Boston. Sharunas is a tall young man, dark and handsome, with large hands that mesmerize those who see him play; those same hands fiddle erotically with a select, very lucky few. If he did not have the position at Lindoro’s, perhaps he would be out hustling, perhaps not. I think not, but you never know. Playing at Lindoro’s is a way station in his musical career.
Stephanie is a collage artist who has struggled for recognition in Boston’s art scene. Paul L subsidizes her studies, in return for which she creates original works to decorate the restaurant seasonally. There are other young women who work for Paul L, and we have gotten to know a few of them, some straight, some lesbians, all congenial.
Jesús is an Argentinian-American chef in his early 40s. His parents were “disappeared” by the military junta that ruled Argentina in the 1970s-1980s. His mother’s parents managed to make their way out of the country with the 10-year-old, but his grandfather was arrested for traveling with false papers in Chile. Sent back to Argentina, he was never seen again. Jesús’s grandmother secured a position as an instructor of Spanish literature at a private school near Boston, but the loss of her family and the strains of a life in peril had taken a toll on her health. Jesús was just discovering his attraction to men when his grandmother died, and he applied for a job at Lindoro’s. Paul L sensed the potential in the young man, and sent him to a culinary institute where he blossomed. Paul and I met him when we told Paul L that a particular meal had been extraordinarily fine. Paul L, with a twinkle in his eye that we should have known meant something was up, offered to introduce us to the chef. Whatever he told Jesús, the chef arrived explaining a complaint about his cooking... that led to confused explanations, apologies, a drink together, and a torrid night of sandwiching.
Per is an impossibly blond waiter from Iceland who came to Boston to study dance and stayed to study men.
Chuku is a Nigerian man who came to the US as a refugee after surviving the civil war that resulted when a breakaway Republic of Biafra tried to establish independence from Nigeria. A short, handsome, muscular man, Chuku had had schoolboy experiences with other students, but had no serious sexual encounters with men as an adult. He kept himself celibate for years, until he had to admit to himself that he was drawn to other men. This jeopardized his immigration status in the US at that time, and it also meant that he could not return to Nigeria. Had he been Catholic, he might have become a priest - but that was no solution. After being introduced by a fellow student to Paul L, he had become friendly with Paul, though they were never involved romantically. However, at Lindoro’s Chuku was able to find a family in which he felt able to explore his desires, and today he shares his life with a former Mennonite fellow from Ottumwa, Iowa, Clem, a young lad who came to Boston as a student and stayed - like so many of us.
Don’t get me wrong. Lindoro’s is not an elaborate social experiment. It’s a highly profitable, functioning business. But Paul L has drawn together a group of friends and colleagues who do form a kind of family around the place. Paul has others who find ways to make themselves useful to our extended family upstairs. There are twin Korean men, Jun and Gun, gymnasts originally, whom Paul helped establish a massage therapy practice. I am quite certain that their many clients do not get the same kind of massage that I saw them give Paul L late one night, but it made me curious to know if kim chee could really make you ejaculate that much that far. They outdid themselves for distance, and their hips were poetry in motion.
One night, Jun and Gun asked Paul L, somewhat sheepishly, from what I could see, if they could offer pleasure to his friends, meaning my Paul and me. Paul L had sent them to our table at dinner. They sat with us, saying that they saw what joy we brought to their friend Paul, and they wanted to bring us joy and pleasure. We demurred, but they came back a few months later and tried again. We demurred a second time, but it finally dawned on us that these two handsome twins simply found us attractive. We adjourned dinner to our bedroom, where Jun began to take my clothes off, and Gun began to take Paul’s off. They were both soon naked, and we found that they were as identical as you could imagine. We’d never been with brothers who were sexual with each other before, and it was a bit odd at first, but Jun and Gun were each versatile, and before the night was out, Jun had fired his gun in my ass, I’d fucked Gun, Paul had fucked Jun, and Gun had sucked Paul and me each off. Then the two had gotten out of bed, at 3 AM, to do an amazingly erotic gymnastics routine, tumbling onto each other, jumping and turning into combinations that always ended up, amazingly, with one’s cock in the other’s ass. They could end a joint tumbling pass (which made a lot of noise at Lindoro’s) with an amazing flip into insertion and the bottom shooting immediately routine. They could each cum on demand, it seemed, a skill they told us they had worked years to perfect. I kind of wondered where you studied that sort of thing. I wanted to apply.
As Russlan became settled back into life at Lindoro’s we waited for him to tell us more about the lost years of his life. We held off asking questions until we thought he felt comfortable with us. We knew that not sharing feelings was bred deeply into him from growing up in a society based on centuries of terror, where a large percentage of the population spied on other parts of the population, including many spies whose job it was to spy on other spies. Paul L counseled us to be wary of pushing Russlan too far too soon, and we waited for him to say that he thought the time was right.
One evening, we were sitting at dinner, Paul L, Liam10, Russlan, my Paul, and I, and chatting in very open terms about what we were going to do sexually that night. I told my Paul that it was his turn to fuck me, and that I wanted him to use a new herbal lube we had bought that supposedly gave quite a tingle. (Secretly, I hoped it tickled Paul; over the years, I have enjoyed his ticklishness hugely, because I have learned to manipulate it for his orgasmic pleasure, and mine.) I was not subtle that evening. I was holding a pickle in my hand and moving it in and out of my mouth. Liam10 was laughing. My Paul was blushing (goes with his ticklishness), but I persisted in giving anatomic details down to the particulars. (“I can just feel your corona popping into my sphincter. I’ll tighten up, and you’ll push through, so that my ass-lips can hug your glans as you...” I enjoyed talking like that, combining anatomical terms with open, naked sex talk. I like that; some guys like having other guys pee in their mouths. Water sports do nothing for me; dirty talk does. Different strokes for different folks.)
Liam10 had a wicked glint in his eye, and he turned to Paul L and asked, “What shall we do with your penis tonight? I was hoping to begin by licking your balls until you shoot, and then on turning you over and...”
“Liam, how would you feel about inviting Russlan to join us?”
“Sure.”
“Let’s all move over to the sofas,” Paul L said. And when we settled down, he continued, “So, Russlan?”
“You want me? Of course I will come.”
“I want you to fuck Liam here.”
Liam10 looked a bit surprised, but not unwilling.”Why, do you want sloppy seconds on me?”
Paul L kissed Liam10 and whispered something in his ear that made Liam10 sit upright. “Pete,” Paul L said, “do you think you could forego Paul’s fucking for tonight?”
“What did you have in mind, big boy?” I minced, giving him my best Mae West, which was none too good.
“Last week every one of us fucked Russlan in turn. I want to turn the tables on him. I want him to fuck each of us, with all of us in one bed. I want us to hold him, massage him, fondle him, while he tops us one by one. Russlan?”
“I can, of course. But why? You all like my ass, I think.”
“Your ass is not in doubt. Your ass is a work of art. Someday we will have to talk about making a plaster cast of your ass and donating it to the Museum of Science...”
“The Smithsonian,” my Paul interrupted.
“The Louvre,“ I said.
“The Imperial War Museum,” Liam10 added, cracking us up, even Russlan.
“But not the Hermitage?” Paul L looked directly at Russlan.
“Not Hermitage.”
“And not Winter Palace?”
“Ass spent enough time in cold.”
“Is there a motion on the floor?” I said, in my best Chairman of the Board voice.
“The only motion on the floor is my foot, aiming for your butt,” my Paul said, sticking his tongue in my ear and putting his arms around me.
“His ass is a combination safe,” I said. “But it’s an odd combination. His ass is tighter than Fort Knox but more open than the Grand Canyon.”
No one laughed. They looked at me oddly. “Okay, I thought it was funny, I said.
“One thing...” Paul L said, taking charge now, returning to his point. “I want to video it. Is that OK with all of you?”
Paul L had surprised us that time. He had never shown the least interest in keeping a video record of our sex lives. I never knew him to be obsessed with pornography of any kind. But if he wanted it, generous as he was, I would certainly agree. “I’m willing,” I said.
“Me too,” my Paul added.
“I always wanted to be on the silver screen,” Liam10 did, in his deep, gruff Vanessa Redgrave voice, following it by leaping up and showing us a little dance step, capped by his Betty Boop imitation: “Boop a doop a doop a doop, boop-boop-a doop!”
“Russlan?”
Russlan seemed frozen. A video record? I wondered what was going through his mind. Why so easy about fucking (or getting fucked) by a crowd of men, but so uncomfortable about being taped?
“Earth to Russki,” Liam 10 chimed in. When Russlan did not reply, he got between Russlan’s legs and buried his face in Russlan’s crotch. His voice was muffled now. “Earth to Russki... where did I put that microphone?”
Even Russlan started laughing nervously when Liam10 opened his fly and pulled out his cock, which was semi-hard, and talked into it as if it were a microphone, as we all remembered from another evening long ago.
“Da, da. I will fuck you all tonight. Perhaps one or two of you will fuck me while I fuck you?”
“It’s Paul L’s party,” I said.
“If you wish,” Paul L said to Russlan. I could tell that Paul L was not just playing sex games. He had something in mind. I’m sure Liam10 was in on it as well, though later my Paul told me that Liam10 had told him it came as a surprise to him.
“Would anyone else like some more wine?” Paul L asked? No one replied, so he pushed a button in the wall that signalled the waiters that we were exiting the room. They would clear the table and clean up while we were in the bedroom. I kind of hoped that Per might be on duty and might join us, but it wasn’t in the cards for that night.
“Who first?” Russlan said, when we were all seated on the large bed.
My Paul’s turn: “I keep telling you, it’s ‘who’s on first?’ If you don’t get baseball down, we may have a serious problem with your balls.”
“I must swallow baseball?” Russlan was being deliberately dense. It was one of his ways of being humorous.
“A bat is more like it,” I said, rubbing my Paul’s crotch.
“Paul,” Paul L said, you do the honors. We all enjoy watching you exercise your red hair fetish. My Paul blushed good-naturedly, and he began taking his clothes off.
Russlan was naked in no time, and Paul joined him at the center of the bed. Russlan lay on his back, his hard cock now standing like an obelisk. I jumped in and lubed him with my mouth, then slipped a condom (yes, we did use them already) onto him, snapping it several times so that Russlan jumped. I then pushed my Paul back over onto his back and plunged my tongue into his butt, slathering him with spit. When he was well lubed, I moved away, and my Paul clambered over to Russlan, moved astride him, placed the head of Russlan’s cock at his hole, and sat down, firmly.
Russlan moaned a bit as Paul slowly sank onto him, and the Russian’s cock entered Paul’s ass centimeter by centimeter. I had a strong urge to bend Paul down and shove my cock up alongside Russlan’s, but I wouldn’t do that to Paul without at least giving him 2 seconds’ warning! Plus, I’d already done that, and he owed me one.
Liam10 had opened Paul L’s shirt and was nuzzling on the older guy’s nipple, which was always a way to get to Paul L. Paul L, for his part, had his arm around Liam10, and he was cradling Liam10’s ass with his other hand. They looked contented and in love.
My Paul was being very aggressive that night, bouncing up and down and trying to manipulate Russlan’s cock so it struck his prostate every time. When Paul had sex with Russlan, there was something primal about it, and everyone, including Paul and including Russlan, understood that Russlan was sitting in (or thrusting in, in this case) in place of our Lingam. Russlan’s red hair brought back a deep urge in Paul, as if he could somehow fuck him back to life if he just fucked hard enough, if he thrust in hard when he was topping, or if he crammed Russlan’s cock into himself when he was bottoming. He was the most aggressive bottom I’ve ever seen, including some real tough guys and including in porn.
Paul L whispered something into Liam10’s ear, and he nodded and crawled to the middle of the bed, having shed his clothes first. He got down under Paul and began tonguing Russlan’s balls, and occasionally taking one or both balls into his mouth and sucking them in deep. I noticed that he also, gradually, was inserting his hand into Russlan’s ass, not so much as you could call it real fisting, but he had four fingers a good way in. Russlan was lying on his back staring into my Paul’s eyes, his body taut and tense, his eyes boring holes in my Paul’s eyes. Russlan could sometimes go into a kind of ecstatic trance when he was having sex. Usually, though, it was when he was bottoming. This time, he was seeing whatever it was that was running through my Paul’s brain.
I got up then, and I moved around so that I could press my hardon against Russlan’s mouth. He smiled at me and opened wide, allowing me to shove my cock in so that my pubes were against Russlan’s lips. His tongue began its usual traveling act, pressing into my cock slit, moving around to the frenulum, tracing all the pleasure spots, while his mouth seemed to rotate around my cock. What was unusual that evening was that a deep, sudden grunt of pleasure from my Paul suddenly triggered my orgasm only two minutes after I had shoved my cock in Russlan’s mouth. I gave him a mouthful of sperm, and as always, he pooled it on his tongue so that when I kissed him afterward, our tongues bathed together in my semen, which ran out of our mouths and down the sides of Russlan’s face.
I felt shots of sperm on my neck and back, and I knew that Paul was cumming, and I quickly moved to share my mouthful of my own semen with him. He began to bounce up and down again on Russlan, and damned if he didn’t shoot a second time. I went down on his cock just as he was beginning to shoot, so that I now had two loads of sperm to slosh around in my mouth.
Paul got up, and Russlan’s cock made a “pop” sound as it pulled free. I changed condoms on Russlan quickly, knowing that he liked to have sex without pause. I saw a pair of legs next to me, and I knew that the next insertee was ready. Liam10 leaped onto Russlan and impaled himself in one hop, and the two of them kind of mashed themselves together, so that although Russlan’s cock didn’t come out of Liam10’s ass, there was a great deal of movement that both of them clearly enjoyed. Liam10, as always, was hard as a rock while being fucked. Myself, I always enjoy a guy who stays hard when I’m fucking him, but I find it hard to stay hard while I’m getting fucked. I’m every bit as turned on, but some nerve in my back or somewhere simply turns the hardon off. I’ve always envied guys who could stay hard while being fucked. But the same guys can probably fuck standing up and cum standing up. I can fuck standing up, but I’ll never cum that way - I need to have no pressure on my spine for me to go into full orgasm.
Liam10 was bouncing up and down very enthusiastically, and I had a vision of the very neat, buttoned down Liam10 as I had first seen him, when our Liam wasn’t sure whether Liam10 was gay or straight or what. I knew he’d fucked girls at home in Wales, and he said he’d enjoyed it, but to see him with a leg on either side of Russlan, with Russlan’s hardon drilling inside him, and with a look of sheer enjoyment on Liam10’s face was a rare sight indeed. My Paul, recovered now, but still with sperm running down his legs, got between my legs and began to rim me, while I lay down on my belly and jerked Liam10 off with my hand.
Russlan came first, with a deep, bass growl in his throat that startled us all. The vibrations set Liam10 off, and feeling me humping, my Paul turned me around and took my cock in his mouth. I rewarded him with a small load. I looked at Paul L, who nodded to me that I should go next. Again, I changed the condoms on Russlan and squatted over him. Then I had a better idea. I asked Liam10 and my Paul to lift me, each with an arm around me and supporting a thigh with his other hand, and they lowered me onto Russlan. Russlan’s hardon slipped into me without much effort, and my two guys kind of jerked Russlan off using me as a gigantic fuck toy. I didn’t want to let things go that easily, so as they pulled up, I clamped my ass muscles to pull Russlan’s cock up with me on each lift. Paul had a foot against Russlan’s ass, and I noticed that as I looked down that his foot seemed to be moving. I figured out later that he had shoved his big toe into Russlan, who had grabbed it with his sphincter, and there was a whole different sex act going on beneath me that the one happening in my ass.
Russlan finally came with a moan, and I locked my ass on him so that he could not pull out. I held my ass muscles tight for as long as I could, until he begged me to let go. Then I clamped harder. I only let loose because I heard Paul L whisper into my ear, “Leave some for me.”
Paul L lay down on his side, his shapely ass lubed and ready. My Paul changed Russlan’s condom, and Russlan kissed Paul L’s ear and then placed his cock at the lips of Paul L’s ass. Liam10 placed one hand behind Russlan’s ass and spread the other on Russlan’s muscular belly and moved the Russian forward, so that he entered Paul L. The rest of us made a circle and encouraged both Paul L and Russlan, touching, nipping, biting, tickling, fingering, smearing, pressing with hands, with feet, with elbows, with knees... but Russlan could not be made to be anything but gentle with Paul L. He could fuck me, or my Paul, or Liam1o like a jackhammer, but he was a lover with Paul L, making love to him. Little by little, we all began to breathe in unison, and when at last Russlan began to squirm and breathe heavily, all of us did. I oozed a few more drops of cum; Paul L actually was standing above me and got some cum in my ear! Liam10 had knelt over Paul L’s head, and I realized that Paul L was tonguing his redhead’s ass as Liam10 shot a load all over everyone. (Liam10 has prodigious amounts of semen. I wish I could figure out where on his lithe body it comes from!)
Russlan’s orgasm came in the form of some hip movement and deep breaths, punctuated by sighs of pleasure. Paul L’s cock did not explode as much as erupt, but by then, my Paul had Paul L’s foreskin in his mouth, so that the cum created a reservoir under the foreskin. Paul had a way of moving the foreskin around so that the cum drained off to one side, running down into his mouth. He then got up, stood over Russlan, and drooled a load of sperm into Russlan’s hair.
We sort of deflated together, lying there and savoring each other’s presence. By now, everyone was lying in a clump of humanity on the large mattress, enjoying the feeling of naked flesh against each other. My Paul still had a toe in Russlan’s ass, I could see from the movement of his foot and Russlan’s body that they were still having toe-sex. I watched as Paul changed the angle of his foot and got several toes more inside, but this was Russlan, who could accomodate a battleship, three cocks, a partridge in a pear tree, and the Red Army, while staying hard. Paul must have been touching the right nerves inside Russlan, because Russlan gasped and began to cum. Only as he began to cum, he hiccuped, and soon he was shooting sperm and hiccuping, again and again.
This set off a round of laughter that took almost 20 minutes to quiet down. Russlan was lying with his face pressed on Paul L’s chest. Liam10 was on the other side of Paul L, and my Paul and I were making out in each other’s arms. Russlan was almost asleep when Paul L asked him, “Russlan, don’t you feel safe?”
I knew that in Russian, asking “don’t you... X” is more polite than asking “do you... X,” whatever X is. So Paul L was being polite, and Russlan seemed to appreciate that.
“Safe, da.”
“You know that we will do nothing to hurt you?”
“Nothing.”
“You know that you are welcome here for a long as you want, and that my security staff will protect you?”
“I believe.”
“Then,” Paul L said, a little more seriously, “it is time for you to tell us more about the years that you were away.
Russlan looked up, with Paul L’s arm still around his neck, so that Russlan’s chin was on Paul L’s chest. He began to shiver.
“You are safe, Russlan. But you must be honest with me, with all of us.”
Russlan began to weep, his tears running all over Paul L’s chest. He shuddered several times, and took a deep breath, and said, “I tell.”
