Brook's relationship with Tony deepens
This story is a sequel to another Lit story with the same title, published about a week ago. Readers might wish to consider taking a look at the earlier story first, but this story does pretty much stand on its own. All characters engaged in sexual activity are over 18. Warning: there is a brief mention, but not description, of rape midway through the story. No AI was used in the production of this story. © 2024, All rights reserved. Brunosden
[The previous story introduced Brook, who just before graduation broke up a long-term relationship and after became the operator of a Detroit gym. His personal and sex life has been casual and adrift for several years. But the gym has been successful. He hires Tony, a young Italian guy who could pass for his ex's twin. They almost immediately connect and get it on.]
It's been three months since Tony joined the staff at my workout center. He's turned out to be a reliable and competent Assistant Manager and personal trainer. He already has a loyal client base that occupies him for several hours every day. In fact, he's a combination of Mr. America and Mr. Personality, joking with and stroking our clients every day. The fact that he's drop-dead gorgeous Latin lover type, with a great physique and is carrying a significant set of equipment in his shorts hasn't hurt either.
Marie, my first employee, another "looker," has completed her PT certificate course—and she got to use the year or so she had worked for me as practical experience. So she too is now licensed and ready to take on clients. They are already lining up. She is a beautiful woman, a Cajun, with long dark hair, about 23, with a trim athletic body. I guess we'll need a new receptionist.
And I've yet to finish writing the Lit story I was working on when I first met Tony, and he interrupted my quiet Sunday afternoon routine--when I normally would write. Tony and I have become friends, really close friends. In fact, we're definitely fuck buddies, proceeding slowly toward a commitment, I hoped. He's moved some stuff to my condo and spends most weekends there with me.
Business has been very good. In fact, we have reached the logical maximum number of members if we are going to be able to accommodate heavy use periods and training sessions. Coincidentally, the coffee/sandwich shop next door closed a few weeks ago, and the "To Let" sign appeared in the window last week—after most of the equipment had been removed. I learned that the rent was very modest.
I've mentioned to Tony and Marie that I'm considering an expansion. And I've asked them whether they might want to partner with me. I know they have little money, but I think we can borrow enough to add the space next door to our gym on a rental basis. My plan would be to move most of our training sessions there, and maybe to open a juice and snacks bar as well. We would upgrade the street front and probably would need to open later a few nights each week. One of the advantages of this space is that it has a really nice garden patio in the back—so in the summer, the snack bar would serve outside as well. The neighborhood was definitely gentrifying, and somehow I thought we might become a real center of activity for the younger urban crowd that was moving in—thanks to the low downtown rents.
Last Friday night after we closed the gym, the three of us ate take-out at my condo to give us time to talk about the potential. By the end of the evening, I had two partners, and we had worked out most of the details. We would put in equal time, but because of my initial investment, I would retain 51%. They would share the rest. And they would take on responsibility for the required loan for the outfitting of the new space—out of their share of the profits. When it was paid off, we'd reallocate our shares and all be even. We'd sub out the bar as none of us had experience or interest. I broke out three beers, and we toasted our deal and friendship.
Tony and I walked Marie to her car, and I asked him to join me later at the condo—even though it was a "school night." He never refused me—although I knew we weren't exclusive. Over the last few months, he had linked up with a few of the gym's clients—something I had avoided as the owner. But Tony was new to gay sex, not constrained by owner's reluctance to mix business and pleasure, and entitled to broaden his experiences. It made me a little envious, of course. And maybe a little nervous. My three year relationship with a lover years before had morphed quite easily into an easy sexual affair with Tony—thanks in part to his very strong resemblance to my ex. For me, it was like a continuation. But for Tony it was an exciting new adventure into the fulfillment of his long-repressed desires. And I wasn't going to risk losing him by being too possessive. So long as he wrapped with others, I was reluctantly tolerant. For now, at least.
Within a week or so of being hired, Tony had identified several gays and one bi guy who were regulars. They were attractive and in good shape. No match for his perfection, but not bad. They came on to him. (With the way he looked all the time, that was not too hard to imagine: he was a walking invitation.) He was flattered and went home with them from time to time. He assured me it was nothing serious. "Just research," he joked. "You're way ahead of me. I don't want you to lose interest in me because I'm plain vanilla. And I'm careful."
How could I lose interest in him? He was exciting, inventive, horse-hung, a willing top or bottom—and an easy twin for a guy that I had fallen for years ago. And definitely not vanilla, more like mocha!
After Marie drove off, we walked back to the condo. It wasn't very late, but we did open early the next morning. We both knew what we wanted. We entered and Tony slammed me into the door and took my lips in his. His tongue invaded while his hands reached under my tee and began to handle my nipples. He stepped back a pace and pulled the tee off as he bent to suck hard. He obviously knew that this was one of my extreme pleasure points. And that he could have me begging to be fucked within minutes if he continued. So I guess my new junior partner wanted to top tonight.
