It's New York in 1974 and twenty-four-year old Ben is spending the weekend with Robert and Ian, two vacationing leather tops from England. After starting out by letting him suck their dicks, tying him up and fucking him, they'd moved on and begun loaning him out to others. All three had been invited to a sex party, due to start in the early hours of Sunday.
Robert shook me awake from my broken sleep around midnight and told me to hurry up and go douche, since we'd be leaving soon. I was as quick as I could be and as I hurriedly leant over to pull on my jockstrap, Ian caught sight of the welts on my bruised ass, still bright red from the caning Arturo had given me a few hours before.
"That red arse guarantees you'll be the centre of attention tonight, you'll be the goat that attracts the tigers. Make sure to keep your jock on, it shows your bum off really well, you'll be the belle of the ball."
After throwing on my t-shirt, jeans, jacket and boots I ran out after them, and we caught a cab up to Lenny's place in Chelsea. Once again, I was badly under-dressed for a freezing November night in New York City, while they were decked out in the brand-new leather jeans, shirts, harnesses and biker jackets purchased the day before on Christopher Street. There was no question, the two of them looked fucking hot, and I was in pig-heaven, sitting between two hot leather masters on the way to a new adventure.
The address on the card Lenny had given me turned out to be a small, six story, pre-war commercial building that had, (like a lot of New York City real estate in the bankrupt Nineteen-Seventies), clearly seen better days. At that time, landlords were so desperate that they'd rent out giant spaces in old buildings for peanuts. I'd read about Manhattan lofts, but that didn't prepare me for what greeted us as we stepped off the rickety old building elevator.
It was huge and completely open, comprising one entire floor of the building with just a small kitchen and a big bathroom cutting into the space. As the three of us looked around in amazement, we got stopped in our tracks by one of the biggest men I'd ever met. Later that night he told me he was six feet ten in height and weighed three hundred pounds of mostly muscle, but I didn't need the exact measurements to feel overawed at the mere sight of him.
He was acting as Lenny's volunteer bouncer/greeter and needed to check we were on the list before letting us join the party. The size of him made even Robert nervous as he gave him our names; but once the behemoth had checked us off, a big grin broke across his face.
"I just love that British accent, man. You must be the guys Len met at the Eagle, right? He was right when he said you were hot. And this must be his bus station cock sucker. Pleased to meet you all, boys, welcome to New York."
It felt really strange to be standing next to someone so much taller and so much bigger than me, since I'm well over average height, and usually one of the tallest guys in any room. But I felt like a little boy standing next to him, with the top of my head coming below his shoulder. Plus, there was a commanding presence about him that simultaneously frightened and excited me, making me blush hot as he took his time looking me over. My obvious nervousness only made him grin wider.
"Ah look, he's all embarrassed; that's real cute. I'm looking after the door for Len for a couple of hours but once I'm free I'll be looking out for you, son. Is that OK with you guys?"
I was eager to submit to him, and since the guys had spent the previous night and day lending me out to anyone who asked, I didn't think they'd raise any objections. Ian proved me right.
"You can play with him anytime you like. We're on the hunt for fresh meat, so if you want him, take him. He won't object."
Getting the green light seemed to please the big guy and with my fate settled to his satisfaction, he got down to business.
"OK, guys, you can take off as much or as little as you like. Just put what your stuff in one of these black garbage bags for me to write your name on. They'll be safe, Len always has someone at the door."
The guys took off just their biker jackets and shirts, showing off their brand-new chest harnesses and headed over to greet Lenny on the other side of the room. I was left to strip down to my jockstrap, then wait to hand over our bags of clothes while the big guy welcomed another group of newcomers.
After labelling the bags and piling them in the closet, he grabbed hold of me before I could walk away. He must have noticed the state of my backside, when I bent over to take off my jeans, since he began to stroke it with a giant hand.
"Fuck it, that ass feels good. It's still throbbing, whoever did this to you had a real heavy hand. I'll be catching up with you later, kid."
He slapped my sore backside and let me walk away. I was mesmerized by the scene around me; Lenny's loft measured hundreds of square feet and was filled for the night with a line of old couches and armchairs along one wall, a king size bed pushed into the corner, and a dozen or so kitchen chairs and rubber play mats dotted around the room.
There were three slings hanging from ceiling hooks at one end of the room, and a St Andrew's Cross and a set of stocks at the other. There was one table in the middle of the room, with an assortment of play items, including cuffs, gags, blindfolds, ropes, canes, paddles and whips and another piled with beer and liquor.
Lenny's temporary dungeon/orgy room was equipped for anything and guys were already using his toys or fucking and sucking without them!
I walked over to where Lenny was talking to Ian and Robert and got a big hug and another compliment on my "hot arse". He laughed and said he was glad we'd turned up, since there were a lot of desperate bottoms at the party who needed a couple of hot tops like Ian and Robert, plus a youngster like me always brightened things up.
Then he looked thoughtful for a moment and turned to Robert.
"Talking of the boy, didn't I see him swallowing your piss at the Eagle last night, correct? Normally there's a couple of piss queens that spend the night in the tub, but they're both running late tonight. How about if Benny fills in for them until they get here. Good idea, guys?"
Everyone, especially me, thought it was a great idea. Robert and I followed him into the bathroom, where the main feature was a giant old claw-foot bathtub. As I was climbing in, Ian appeared in the doorway, with a few items he picked up off Lenny's table of play toys.
