Author's note 1: This story is a spinoff of the incest story "Operation Fuck Me Daddy" and the second part of a trilogy. It's not necessary to read that story first (it would be nice if you did), and there's no incest in this story. This is the first gay male story that I've written, and I hope I've done it justice. This story will alternate POV by chapter. This is a very nerdy story. One last thing -the title of each chapter comes from a song written by an English artist or group -some are easy, some are not. Leave your guesses in the comments and don't forget to vote - keep in mind that I'm an artist, and I'm sensitive about my shit! love, cg74
Author's note 2: for The Professor. Oranges.
CHAPTER ONE - FROM A FARAWAY TOWN
CECIL
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Heathrow Airport. Local time is 1135 hours and the temperature is 21 degrees celsius.
I can't believe I'm here. I should probably pinch myself. Yeah, I'm still here.
I've worked so hard for this. I, Cecil James - magna cum laude graduate in accounting from Howard University, 25 year old nerd, and (dare I say it) handsome devil - have finally made it to London. On Monday I start a 3 month internship with Wallingford Worldwide - THE financial services firm. There are fifty interns from all over the world, and I beat out hundreds of applicants to be one of the lucky ten from the United States to get this opportunity. My dad Marcus and my sister Gina were so happy for me. Dad is also an accountant; he has a small but thriving accounting firm back home in suburban Virginia. When I'm done with this internship I'll probably join the family business.
Wallingford Worldwide and London is my opportunity to spread my wings in more ways than one. I've known I was attracted to men and women since I knew what attraction was. I like girls just fine and had my share, but the older I get the more I find myself wanting to be with a man. Share my life with a man. Love a man. I've met a few guys, but none of them seem to click.
Problem is, almost every man I've met wants the "Big Black Cock Thug" fantasy. Don't get me wrong, my dick is nice, thick, and long, but I'm no thug. I'm not here to fulfill the stereotype of what someone thinks a Black man should be. I'm Cecil, and I'm awesome. Miss me with that foolishness.
But enough of that. Time to get off this plane. I gather my things, suffer through customs, and get to baggage claim. That's where I see a cute redhead holding a sign with my name on it.
"Hi, I'm Cecil James." I smile and offer my hand.
"Hi Cecil, welcome to London! I'm Kate with Wallingford. I'm here to help you get settled. Do you have everything?"
I told her that I did and we made our way to the waiting car and onto the M4 into London.
Kate was great company; we talked about London, the internship, and life in general. In another life I'd definitely ask her out, but that's not me anymore. We arrived at my hotel in the heart of Kensington - home for the next week until I moved into my own apartment (or should I say flat?). Kate told me about the informal brunch for all the interns on Sunday; apparently brunch is a thing in London just like it is in the states. I got all the info, assured her I'd be there, and got settled into my hotel.
I pinched myself again. Yeah, this is still real. I Skyped with my sister and dad (they're acting kinda strange-what's up with that?), let them know I'm good, and now it's time to explore.
I spent the next few days acquainting myself with London - I was a total tourist. I did the double decker bus tour. I took a run through Hyde Park. I saw the Changing of the Guard. I went to the market in Brixton. I did the obligatory walk near Abbey Road. I went on the London Eye and rode the Tube everywhere. I had a ball. My Instagram was full of pictures.
And the men! The men are so fine! There's just something about that English accent that makes me all crazy horny and keeps my dick half hard. London is man candy central and I've got a sweet tooth.
Before I knew it, Sunday was here. I took an Uber to the the brunch spot. I tried on a couple of things before I decided on my brunch look - dark denim jeans, a blazer over a white button down, leather slip ons, a scarf, and of course my Andrew Christian boxer briefs. I'd fuck me.
I walked in, said hello to Kate, found the interns from Wallingford, and made my way around the room. Everyone was really excited about this opportunity. I was talking with the other interns from the states when I heard a voice in the background. The most incredible English accent I have ever heard. Like Colin Firth as Darcy but with just enough Idris Elba thrown in to make it sound sexy.
"But that's exactly why
Star Trek Into Darkness
didn't work. Why was the Enterprise under water? Beyond is a much better movie."
OH. MY. GOD. Someone who feels the same way I do about that horrible movie!
My stomach did a slight flip flop. If he looks as good as he sounds I'm in trouble. I do a casual turn towards the sound of that voice.
Yep, in trouble.
Standing there was one of the most beautiful humans I've ever seen in my life. Tall, like me. Dark hair that was a little long and had a slight curl. Beautiful eyes. Broad shoulders that look like they work out often. Not a skinny build - a solid man -just the way I like them. His cashmere sweater looked nice with his trousers (I am in London - they say trousers here) and his black ankle boots. I couldn't see his ass, but I'm sure it was just as fabulous as the rest of him. It was like Byung Hun-Lee had a younger brother that was born in London, worked out, and wanted to be an accountant.
So. Much. Trouble. And he's walking this way.
"Hello Cecil," he said, looking at my nametag. "I'm Nicholas Rhee. Pleased to meet you." He smiled as he shook my hand. He gave me a nice firm handshake, which I returned in kind. No weak sauce here.
I thought British people were supposed to have horrible teeth. If so, no one told Nicholas Rhee. His smile was so radiant I felt it all through my body. His eyes got wide as he shook my hand; was he feeling what I was feeling? If there is a higher power, this man has to be gay. No way fate could be this cruel.
"Hi Nicholas. Pleased to meet you as well. I couldn't help but overhear your take on
