I watched Scott roll out of bed and walk to the bathroom. Rather, I watched his buttocks sway as he moved. He rolled the condom off as he walked and dropped it deftly in the trashcan under the sink before going over and standing in front of the toilet. He was in great shape for being just past thirty, and he was a lucky find for me. We were quite a contrast—me on the smallish and slender side, a dark Mediterranean-type Jew, with curly hair and a sultry face that Scott wasn't the only one who said would serve me well in being a photographer's model. I was told I could pass as Israeli, Greek, or Italian, which helped for commercial purposes, but I had never been to any of those places. I had been to—been raised in—New Jersey, nearly on the Toms River boardwalk.
I was in my third year at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising here in Los Angeles, studying not only modeling in commercial photography but to be able to do layouts myself as well. I owed a lot to Scott, who had picked me up on the beach in Malibu; propositioning me for a photo shoot, saying he'd provide professional photos for a portfolio in exchange for sex; and who not only had given me jolt after jolt of sexual pleasure but had also gotten me a part time job with a TV studio his entertainment industry publicity firm worked with.
Scott Stewart was a tall, burly, sunny-disposition Nordic type. He could glad hand with the best, which made him a success in the publicity world. He could fuck with the best too. And, to my good fortune he was generous to a fault. He liked me well enough that he gave me a place to live in expensive L.A., which would help me complete my degree, and he helped me bring in some extra cash—a few modeling jobs already. This helped in my college classes. And now he'd steered me to this production assistant job, essentially as a gofer, for the
Grant's West
television show.
We didn't usually fuck on a weekday morning, but Scott's hours were flexible and I didn't have any classes today and wasn't due at the TV studio until later in the morning. And we'd both awakened with morning wood. Scott had no trouble figuring out what to do about that, gathering me under him—he was nearly twice as big as I am—pulling me up to my knees, and fucking me in a deep doggie.
He was an exhibitionist, as happy strutting around and swinging his meat in the apartment as going to work dressed like a men's fashion plate. He left the bathroom door open, and I could see him, naked, piss in the toilet, shower without closing the curtain, and then stand at the sink and shave and groom himself. He was a hunk—ten years older than I was, but he kept himself in shape. We worked out together at a gym he paid for. I certainly couldn't complain about life in L.A.
He came out of the bathroom and we looked at each other. He was half hard, and I could tell that he was thinking what I was—that he'd be up for another round. I wanted him to come back in the bed. I'd never had it so good in the terms of sex. He was hung and could ding my bell.
"When do you have to be in?" he asked.
"10:30," I answered. "They want me to take a studio car and pick Grant Thorn up in Beverly Hills." Grant Thorn was the star of
Grant's West
, which was evident from the program's title. The show was a situation drama set in a Western ranch in the mid-1950s. Grant Thorn, forty-eight and a real hunk, was cast as the patriarch of a family that couldn't keep itself out of trouble.
"I guess there isn't really enough time then," he said. The regret in his voice sent a chill up my spine. I was one lucky submissive. "Did you say you'll be driving Grant Thorn?"
"Yes, it will be the first time, but that's what they said they use me for most—deliveries and transporting the actors and the crew, as needed."
"Well, be careful with Thorn. Watch yourself around him."
"What do you mean?"
"He's got a reputation. It's all hush hush because of his box office persona, but just watch yourself with him. Be careful."
I wondered what a lowly gofer being careful with the program's star would entail.
I found out what wouldn't work.

I had to sit in front of Grant Thorn's house for half an hour before he appeared. The assistant producer who sent me to Beverly Hills to pick him up, Brad Luck, was quite explicit that I was to wait until Thorn was ready to appear and not go ring his doorbell. Luck had also said, "And just bring him here. Nothing else. You're just part of the furniture; don't get friendly with the actors or you'll get bounced out of a job."
Well, OK.
I
certainly won't do anything to delay us. I sat there in his driveway, biding my time and wondering how he was supposed to know I was here. Then I saw drapes flutter in a window on the second floor, and after a few minutes he was coming out of the door. He was a real hunk for his age and was dressed the part—tight, worn jeans; a plaid flannel shirt with brass studs on it, the pockets in a V cut; and cowboy boots—but he was clean as a whistle, every hair in place, and walking like he owned the town.
He threw some boxes in the backseat of the car and climbed into the front seat, which surprised me. I expected anyone I drove to be chauffeured in the back. The guidelines the studio gave me said the same thing. He flashed me a smile, which showed a fortune in dentistry.
"Haven't met you yet. I'm Grant Thorn." He reached his hand out and I had to take it. I wouldn't have been polite if I didn't. When he took my hand, he folded his thumb between our palms. That meant something in my world. I didn't want to presume it meant the same thing in his, but it's not how someone gives a handshake by accident. In my world that said he gave cock and was asking me to declare.
I looked at the house before putting the car into gear. The drapes in the upstairs window fluttered again.
"Hello. My name is Jacob," I said as he settled in the seat beside me. I figured that I was too low on the totem pole for him to care about a last name.
"Yes, you are," he answered. "I understand that Scott Stewart recommended you for this job."
"Yes, he did," I answered as I got on the road. What was with this? The big star had checked me out?
