TRAGEDY ON THE POTOMAC
by Steven H. Davis

Chapter 7

The fall semester found me taking a number of fairly easy survey courses at
the University to get a head start on my required credits before picking up
a few classes for my major in the spring.  I managed to get a drama class
in there as well, but it didn't feel the same as it did in high school,
where theater had also been my primary social outlet.  We were all
strangers, and no one really made an effort to get to know each other.

I was still confused and unsure about how to make my way into the DC gay
community, and frankly somewhat terrified of being out at school.  I knew
the university had a gay student group, and I even knew where the office
was.  It was on the 4th floor of the student union, like all the other
activities offices, and I walked by it a few times one day at lunch, not
pausing but looking inside through hasty sidelong glances as I strode with
apparent purpose down the hall.

I had made several cowardly loops around the maze of hallways and offices
when I started walking slower each time I passed the door.  The Gay
Alliance looked remarkably spartan compared to some of the other offices,
which were festooned with posters, fliers, stacks of papers and
knick-knicks.  This one contained only a pair of large, standard-issue
desks arranged to face each other and a lone bookcase with only about
twenty books.

The pretty blonde girl reading a book at one of the desks must have noticed
my repeated fly-bys in the hallway, as she asked if there was anything she
could do to help me.  I stammered and stuttered for a moment before I
managed to get out that I was looking for the Gay Alliance office.

"This is it," she said, pointing to the other desk.  "Donny should be back
in a little while.  You can wait or come back."

I nodded and walked into the office, and I must have looked like I was
feeling guilty about being there, but the girl didn't seem to notice and
went back to reading her book, which I saw was Marx's *Communist
Manifesto.* Having been raised in right-wing Texas, the thought of being
among communists horrified me, so I sat down at the other desk and
pretended to look at the walls, which -- being completely bare of anything
and painted flat white -- were not much help.

After what seemed like an awkward eternity, a young man of about nineteen
came into the office.  He had short black hair, wire-framed glasses, and a
neatly trimmed mustache-beard combo, which didn't normally appeal to me,
but looked adorable on him.  He wore pegged jeans, penny-loafers, and what
looked like the softest fuzzy sweater ever made.  He smiled when he saw me,
and my first thought was *Aww, he looks like a teddy bear!*

"Hi," he said, extending a hand.  "I'm Donny."

I stood clumsily, knocking my knee on the desk, but kept a smile on my face
and sucked up the pain.

"I'm Rick," I said.  "Rick Spivey."

Donny glared at the girl and led me out into the hall, whispering
conspiratorially when we were out of her earshot.

"That's Becky," he told me.  "We have to share an office with the
Progressive Student Union.  They're Maoists."

"Maoists?"  I really *had* led a sheltered life.

"Yeah," Donny replied.  "Don't worry about them.  They usually keep to
themselves.  You want to go somewhere and talk?"

I looked into his soft grey eyes and nodded my assent.  There was something
about this boy... he seemed gentle, kind, yet fiercely intelligent.  In
some ways he seemed much older than nineteen, but in others he seemed as
shy and conflicted as Taine.  Maybe that was what intrigued me about him,
and I followed him across the street to the local bar, a British-style pub
called The Red Lion.  Inside was all dark wood, red leather and brass
studs, dim lighting and neon beer signs above the small bar.  We ordered
beers and Donny led me upstairs to a small seating area, where we could be
alone at one of the few empty tables.

"It gets busy at night," he said apologetically, but I was just fine being
alone with him.

We talked for about forty minutes, each slowly sipping our beers.  The
drinking age in DC at the time was eighteen for beer and wine, twenty-one
for liquor, and I had celebrated my eighteenth birthday just a few weeks
earlier with Vedzma and Tolya at a restaurant in Georgetown.  This,
however, was my first real bar since coming of age, and I felt very adult
sitting across from this fascinating young man, who blew my mind when he
told me that he was considering leaving school to enter a Franciscan
monastery.

"You're going to become a monk?"  I almost choked on my beer.

"I'm seriously thinking about it," he answered.  "Does that bother you?"

"No, no," I assured him.  It didn't bother me so much as that I had
literally no frame of reference with which to process it.

He explained it to me a little, gave me a brief but detailed history of the
Franciscans, and then asked about my background.  I gave him a sanitized
version of my family history, including the part about how -- as Rex and
Tynah had adopted me when my mother went in the army -- she was now
technically my sister while I was technically my own uncle.  Donny shook
his head and whistled.

"I know," I chuckled.  "My roots would give Alex Haley a headache."

We finished our beers and, as neither of us had classes until later that
evening, Donny took me back to his dorm to show me his room.  We weren't in
the door five minutes before our arms encircled each others waists -- his
sweater was amazingly soft -- and our lips met in a deep, passionate kiss.
I had never kissed anyone with facial hair before, unless I counted the
brief backseat fumblings with the stubble-rough Mark in the back of Kathy
Witcher's car several years before, but Donny's beard was soft and silky,
and his lips were like velvet.

We rolled around on his small dormitory bed for awhile, gradually losing
clothes, and I was surprised by how tender and romantic Donny was.  He even
kissed my eyebrows, softly, and gazed into my eyes like a lover.  I liked
it, but it made me a little confused.  I had spent all summer engaged in
hot, sweaty fucking with Jason, and this was a level of lovemaking which I
hadn't experienced since my freshman year of high school with Taine
Maxwell, and here it was from someone whom I had just met.

I tried to return Donny's attentions in kind, but I had walled off that
part of myself after Taine, and wasn't sure I ever wanted to have it back.
I was focused on sex, and once I had established that Donny would take the
submissive role, I consciously made a choice to put the kibosh on his
romantic ministrations and take control.

I flipped him over on his back, which was pretty easy considering that I
was about half a foot taller and maybe thirty pounds heavier.  He gulped in
surprise as I gave a low growl from deep in my throat and freed my hard
cock, then yanked his Jockey briefs down and off of his slender legs.  His
penis was hard, but small and delicate like the rest of him, dusted with
silky-soft black hair.  I didn't really mind, because what I was after was
his slim, tight ass.

Donny looked at me with a shy smile, removing his glasses and setting them
on the nightstand before retrieving a condom and a jar of something called
Elbow Grease from the top drawer.  He put the condom on me immediately, not
bothering to suck me even a little bit first.  I tried to go down on him,
but he caught my chin gently with one hand and guided me up for a kiss
while he lubed me and himself with the other hand.  I briefly wondered if
oral sex was against his religion.

"Go slow," he whispered.  "I've never done this before."

This was also surprising to me, as I was accustomed to being the
inexperienced one in bed, but I also found it a turn-on.  I flashed back to
Kathy, Jeff and Mark giggling about how they had corrupted me, and I
suddenly understood the thrill.  Something inside me had changed since that
night of my freshman year, when I had felt hurt and offended by those
words.  My experience with Taine and the ensuing heartbreak had made me
just like them, I realized.  I had become cold and callous.  I didn't want
to make slow, gentle love to this sweet virgin.  I wanted to fuck his tight
hole until he screamed my name.

And that's just what I proceeded to do.

-----------------------------

After I had fucked Donny to a screaming orgasm, I roughly moved him onto
his knees facing the wall at the head of his bed.  I grabbed his hips and
thrust into him, hard and fast, fucking his recently-loosened hole while he
clenched his pillow with both white-knuckled fists.

"Oh, God," he moaned.  "Oh, Rick!"

I liked this feeling of power.  I had been weak for so long.  Rex, my
mother, the kids at school, even Jason had made me feel like a little bitch
for most of my life.  Even with Taine, I had spent so much time
heartbroken, sad, crying and weeping and sniveling like a girl.

Now I felt strong, dominant, assertive, masculine.  I was taking out all my
frustrations on Donny's small, vulnerable ass and he loved it.  He was
whimpering, groaning my name as I rammed my big cock deep inside him again
and again, and it felt great.  I felt powerful and finally in control of
another man, instead of always being the one who was controlled.

I tightened my grip on Donny's sweat-sheened hips and began fucking him
harder and faster, seeing in my mind all of the people I wanted to be
pounding like this.  All those studs in the locker room after whom I had
lusted while crying myself to sleep.  The three bastards who had raped me
over that trash can downtown when I was thirteen.  Jeff Salzburg with his
smug, cruel dominance and subsequent dismissal of my needy adulation.
Taine Maxwell, who had made me love him only to rip my heart from my chest.
Even Jason, whose perfection had left me weak in the knees, but who always
seemed my superior in every way, even when I was fucking him.  This was
what I should have given them.  This was my power.

"Take it, motherfucker," I growled.  "You know you want this big cock.
Fucking take it!"

I sounded like a bad porn movie, but Donny seemed to be eating it up.  I
was making him my bitch, I thought cruelly, and he fucking likes it.  I
would never be weak again.  This was what I really was, this was where I
was meant to be, and I was going to fuck every tight little ass in this
town.  They were going to scream my name and they were going to love it.

Donny began to wince and whimper into his pillow as I savagely plowed his
ass, my balls drawing tighter as I felt my climax building.  I was the
master, I was the stud-god, I was fucking Caligula!  When I finally
erupted, driving my cock into Donny as far as it would go, he screamed.  I
unloaded jet after jet of hot cum deep inside him, growling and curling in
on him to bite his shoulder and the scruff of his neck like a horny
junkyard dog.

I finally relaxed, all the tension and sexual rage slowly draining from my
muscles.  Donny remained tense, his fists still clutching the pillow, his
face digging into it, his body trembling.  I smiled, nipping at his neck in
triumph, until I realized that he wasn't trembling from pleasure.  He was
crying.  I pulled away from him in concern, and my softening cock left his
ravaged hole with an audible plop.  Then he began to sob.

I felt terrible.  I tried to hug him, to console him, but he only cried
harder.  His face was red, clenched in pain and self-loathing.  I
recognized the self-loathing because I had been there myself.  I had done
to him what had been done to me.  And he was a virgin.  He was so gentle,
so trusting, so tender, and I had made his first time as brutal and
animalistic as mine had been.  I felt like a monster.

What the hell was happening to me?
