Chad, breathing easily and looking mighty fine for a man of thirty-seven, ended his run at his usual bench beside a tool house in the remote Myrtle Beach park tucked into a golf course almost within sight of the ocean enough for most not to realize it was a separate public park. As usual, he ran in just athletic shorts and running shoes. His auburn red hair was boyishly tussled and reddish down swirled around his firm pecs and down the line of his sternum and six pack and under the waistband of the shorts. The raised sitting area was sheltered on the side opposite the running path by a semicircle of azalea bushes. The tool shed and bench sat on the top of a rise, and anyone in that area had to stand from the bench to be seen from the path down the slope.
He looked at his watch and stood up from the bench, moving his hand to the crotch of his athletic sorts, following the long and distinct line of his nestled cock, starting to come alive at the thought of what lay ahead. The figure of a young blond, tanned man, also in jogging shorts, also shirtless, was already on the path below, jogging slowly in place. The young man was looking up the slope. When he saw Chad standing up there, he stopped jogging and moved his hand to his crotch as well.
He was short, small, well-formed but looking young—too young. But that was what Chad was expecting. He knew otherwise, or had been assured otherwise. He would check, of course. He motioned with his head and sat back down on the bench. The young man appeared over the rise of the slope and sat, hesitatingly, next to Chad. The two turned toward each other, looking each other over.
"Interested in a blow job?" the young man asked, his voice low, his eyes looking furtively around.
"Did someone send you?" Chad asked.
"Yes."
"Who?"
"Ted."
Chad nodded his head. The prearranged signals had been the right ones. Ted was his best recruiter, concentrating on students at Webster College suddenly in need of money and already gay curious. He moved an arm around the young man's back across the back of the bench. Placing three fingers of that hand lightly on the young man's right bicep proved enough to hold him in place. The young man was a bit skittish, repeatedly scanning the area for anything amiss.
"Where we gonna do it? Behind these bushes?"
"In a minute. Some checking first," Chad answered. He moved his free hand to glide along the young man's pecs, down his sternum and belly, testing the hardness and resilience of the skin as if he were shopping for a thoroughbred race horse, which, in some sense, he was. It would take a special kind of young man to take on what he had in the plans. Here again Ted was crucial. He selected them very carefully.
The hand moved underneath the waistbands of the young man's athletic shorts and jock strap. The young man flinched and automatically spread his thighs as Chad cupped his balls and placed a thumb on the base of the young man's cock. The young man started breathing heavier and his cock started to engorge, but he held steady.
"Ted tell you what this was about?"
"Yes."
"And you still want to sign on?"
"Yes."
"Name?"
Hesitation. "Jake."
"Real name or the one you want to use with us?"
"The, uh . . . professional name I've chosen, I guess."
Chad started slow-stroking Jake's cock.
"Done fellatio before?"
"Fellah what?" Jake was trembling at the attention being given his cock, working hard to pay attention to that and what Chad was saying at the same time.
"Blow jobs. Have you sucked guys off before."
"Once or twice. You know, around the dorm. And Ted."
"Just a few times, you sure? Ted told you how important it was to be fresh, didn't he?"
"Yes. Shit, if you continue doin' that, I'm gonna come."
"Yes, you are, you're going to come for me, Jake. Are you sure it's only a few times?"
"Yes."
"But it's what you want? For the benefits you'll receive? Ted explained all of that, right?"
"Yes. It's what I want."
"Been anally fucked?"
"No . . . never." Ted had been very explicit about that.
"You sure? We'll check, you know. There's a full-time doctor on staff. He'll know." Of course there was no sure way of checking for the anal virginity in a man, especially if it had been a while in the past, but Jake didn't need to know that. He was just a college kid—from the nearby Webster University, where Chad got most of his fresh meat, thanks to Ted—for which Ted was richly rewarded. Young college guys, looking good and in great shape, coming to the Carolina coast for college because they were drawn to the surf and the beach resort culture. Randy and needing money, finding it more expensive to live the beach life here than they had anticipated. More often than not willing to be gay for pay to bail them out even if not fully gay.
