	Alt F N. Fingers in place on the keys.  And away we go. . .

	The city wakes up.  Lights flicker on and off, engines turn over,
bundles of coarse, gray paper fly through the air, a tabby cat pads down
the stairs, looking to see if breakfast has appeared, hardy souls climb
onto bicycles that have never known the freedom of the open road.  The
subway starts to sort people, swallowing them up at one point in time and
space and depositing them at another.  Thousands of people go up this
escalator and down the other, in this tunnel and onto that track, changing
trains without ever thinking why, just because that is what they do. We all
started from different places, and we all have different destinations, but
here and now, we are together.  Our lives are temporarily one on top of the
other, caught up in wonderful and terrible ways.  And on that train, at
that time, in a most peculiar way, enduring threads are being woven
together. . .

	Hours passed as I sat at my uncle's desk, words pouring out of the
tips of my fingers, starting once again at the beginning and channeling the
lives that were growing in my imagination.  Images flashed before my eyes,
connections revealed between seemingly unrelated ideas and people and
places and things.  And threaded through everything, thoughts of Beau, his
smile, his voice, his body, his cock, the hard buds of his nipples, the
fine hairs leading from his navel to his pubic thatch, his heavy balls, the
round curve of his calves, his muscular buttcheeks, the bloom of sweat on
his back when I'm fucking him, the feel of his mouth on my cock, and mine
on his, and everything else about his young, ripe sexiness that left me
sitting there working the whole morning with a hard-on.

I finally was ready to break for lunch after hearing the clock strike one.
A quick scrounge in the kitchen revealed only a couple of pretty meager
options, so I decided to stroll downtown to grab a quick bite at the
old-fashioned lunch counter.  It was the real deal: an old brick building
with the Coca-Cola sign painted on the side, a Formica counter, chrome
stools covered in red vinyl, and a twenty-something counter man who wore a
striped shirt with a bow tie, a long apron, a white cap over his black crew
cut, and a nametag that identified him as George.  Almost instinctively, I
sized him up as I took a seat up at the counter.

	"So what's your pleasure?" he asked, taking my measure with his
green eyes.

	My eyes flicked back and forth from the menu to the muscular
forearms that emerged from his rolled up shirtsleeves.

	"Well, how about the ham sandwich and an iced tea.  And can I
substitute a salad for the potato chips?"

	"It'll be a dollar extra, that's all.  What kinda dressing d'you
want?"

	"Oh, how about blue cheese."

	"No problem.  You want sweet tea or unsweetened?"

	"Well, I like the sweet tea, but I should probably go for the
unsweetened."

	"I guess not as many folks around here do what they should do,
compared to what they want to do.  Maybe it's different wherever you're
from."  Just the corners of George's mouth curved up as he winked and
turned to take my order back to the kitchen, leaving me to try to interpret
his words.

	Before my attention could drift down to the Atlanta paper I had
picked up on my walk into town, the bell on the front door jingled, and a
very handsome young African-American man, neatly dressed in a shirt and
tie, came in and sat down at the counter, two stools down from me.

	"Hey Ziggy, how's it hanging?" George exclaimed with a smile when
he came back and saw the newcomer.

	"To my knees, Georgie boy.  How `bout you?"  The new customer's
straight, white teeth positively shone as he grinned back at an obviously
familiar face.

	"Pretty good.  The lunch rush's just about over," he said, looking
pointedly at me.  "You want the usual?"

	"Sounds good."

	My counter mate turned to me as soon as George walked off,
scratching out a lunch order on his pad.

	"So you're not from around here, are you?" he asked, smiling in a
completely charming way.

	"Is it that obvious?" I asked, feigning deep disappointment.  "I
didn't even need to open my Yankee mouth."

	"Well, let's just say that this town is so small, any new face
stands out.  And I'm sure I would've remembered yours.  Ziggy Watkins," he
said, extending his hand over the intervening stool.

	"Jefferson MacNeil." His grip was strong and athletic.  "I have to
confess I'm not a local.  I'm just here to bury my uncle and take care of
his affairs.  He died a couple of weeks ago."

	"You mean Ed Mayhew?  He was your uncle?"  I nodded.  "Damn.  He
was one of our favorites down at the bank, First National of Dumont.
That's where I work.  I'm real sorry, Mr. MacNeil.  We couldn't believe it
when we heard the news."

	"You can call me Jeff.  And I couldn't believe it, either."

	"And you can call me Ziggy."  He fished into his pocket and pulled
out a small leather case.  "Here's my card.  I'm sure you're going to work
with Mr. Mayhew's attorney, but let me know if you need help with any
business at the bank."

	"That's very kind of you.  I appreciate it."  Sitting there, I
could almost feel the warmth that Ziggy's personality radiated; his golden
brown skin almost seemed to glow.  "I have to confess, though, I really
haven't gotten very far into Uncle Ed's affairs yet.  I guess that I just
haven't been motivated enough."

	Ziggy nodded knowingly.  "It's the heat.  It's real hard for
Northerners to get used to it."

	"Yeah, I suppose that's it.  The heat."  I couldn't help but
reflect on how I'd lately been spending my days and nights; maybe the
physical distractions had something to do with my inattentiveness to
business.

	At that moment, just as George returned with my lunch, the bell on
the front door jingled once more, and Forrest Hamilton marched inside like
he owned the place.  For all I knew, maybe he did.  The elderly gentleman
just stood there for maybe half a minute, surveying the lunch counter like
it was the sands of Arabia.  Ziggy caught my eye before pursing his lips
and shaking his head.

"Here comes His Lordship," he whispered softly, almost under his breath.

I don't think that Forrest Hamilton immediately recognized me.  In fact, it
was only on the second or third glance my way that his face finally lit up
with recognition, and he made his way over to me.

	"Why Mr. MacNeil, what a pleasant surprise.  I had been meaning to
look you up again, and now I must insist that you join me for lunch."

	I reached out and grasped his extended hand.  "That's very kind of
you, Mr. Hamilton, but I'm afraid that I'll have to take a rain check.  You
see, I'm having lunch here with Mr. Watkins.  We have some business to talk
about.  But it is a pleasure to see you again so soon."

	"I see," the older man said, all trace of welcome draining out of
his face as he turned to contemplate the young black man.  "You say you
have business to discuss, the two of you.  And I thought I knew about all
of the business in this town.  At least all the business worth mentioning."
He paused briefly before continuing.  "Well, you leave me no choice but to
insist that you join me for dinner, then.  Shall we say 7:00?"  It was more
a command than a request, but I was curious enough to give my consent.

	"Very well, then.  100 State Street is my address.  You shouldn't
have any trouble finding it, just ask anyone you see on the street if you
need direction.  And now if you'll excuse me, I just recalled some of my
own business that I must attend to.  My luncheon shall have to wait.  Good
day, gentlemen."  With that, he turned abruptly on his heel and was gone.

	Ziggy shook his head.  "Well, I see you don't need any warning
about him.  How long were you here before he corralled you?"

	"Oh, he came by the house a couple of days after the funeral.  He
had a business proposition."

	"I'm not surprised.  I guess the only advice I'd give you is to
read the fine print.  That man has exactly one thing on his mind, and it's
not his fellow man."

	Ziggy and I continued to talk while we ate our lunches.  George
came over and joined us after the only other customer paid up and left, and
it came out that they had formerly played together on the local semi-pro
baseball team, before Ziggy gave it up to get serious about life, as he put
it.

	"I still play in the outfield," George explained, pretending to
shag a fly ball.

	"Yeah, playing with yourself, you mean," Ziggy teased.

	"Fuck you," George retorted jokingly.

	"Yeah, you and who else?"

	George playfully punched his friend's shoulder.  "Your mouth best
not write a check your butt can't cash."

I finally pushed back my empty plate.  "Well, I suppose I should settle up
and get out of here and let you two settle it."  I glanced down at the
check before dropping some bills on the counter.  "Are you on your way back
to the bank, now?  I'm walking that direction."

	"You said you were going to take the deposit back, remember?"
George quickly chimed in.  "I gotta get that together."

	"Looks like I'll have to take care of some business, first," Ziggy
said, smiling.  He extended his hand.  "But it was sure nice to meet you."

	"Likewise.  I hope to see you again soon."

	I was only half a block away from the lunch counter before I
realized that I had left my Atlanta Journal-Constitution sitting on the
stool next to mine, and I quickly walked back to retrieve it.  I was a
little surprised to find that the door was already locked and the "Closed"
sign had been flipped over.  Peering inside, there was no sign of either
Ziggy or George, and no one answered my knock.

	I guessed that they must have gone back into the office to collect
the deposit George had mentioned, so I quickly jogged around the building
to see if I could get their attention.  In the back alley, I found an
unlocked door, which opened into the deserted kitchen.  Pausing for a
second, I heard a low voice coming from the other side of a partially open
door.  Even though I could not hear what was being said, I could
immediately tell from the tone what was going on.

	 Tip-toeing across the tiled floor, I peered around the corner of
the door marked "Office."  Ziggy was leaning against the desk, totally
naked from the waist down.  Squatting in front of him, George was sucking
on his friend's enormous, darkly glistening cock.  He, too, had lost his
trousers somewhere between the counter and this back room, and his hand was
busy stroking his own hard tool.  As I watched, Ziggy slowly extracted his
entire length from George's mouth.

	"What do you want?  You want my cock?"

	"Oh yeah," George groaned breathlessly.  "I need your cock.  Oh
fuck."  He tried to snare Ziggy's bobbing erection between his moist, red
lips, but the muscular, golden-skinned man kept pulling it just out of
reach.

	"So you want my cock, do you?  You want my big, black cock?  Well
that's what you're gonna get."  Ziggy began to use his long, thick organ
like a cudgel, slapping it against George's flushed cheeks, bouncing it off
of his grasping mouth, frustrating him to the point where he began to
whimper.

	"Oh, I get it," Ziggy observed playfully.  "You don't just want my
cock, you want my cock down your throat.  Is that it?"  George just groaned
in response.  "Well, you'd better get ready, then, 'cause here it comes."

	The handsome African American man grasped his friend's cheeks,
holding him still, and inserted just the tip of his twitching erection
between parted lips.  Slowly, deliberately, Ziggy sank his cock into the
deep recesses of George's mouth.  I watched mesmerized as inch after inch
of the dark brown shaft slid past the moist, red opening.  At one point a
shudder went through George as he struggled to accommodate his friend's
length and girth.  Ziggy, however, was relentless, and he didn't stop until
he was buried to the hilt.

	Needless to say, I was hard as a rock as I watched this scene
develop in front of me.  Without even thinking about it, I had started to
rub my cock through my khaki pants; this is exactly what I was doing when
Ziggy happened to glance over as he pumped George's mouth.  He looked
slightly alarmed for a split second, but he quickly realized that I was
anything but disapproving, and he smiled and beckoned me over.

	"Hey, no need to be shy.  Hurry up and get your butt over here."

	I quickly complied.  As I started to unzip and drop my trousers, I
leaned over and placed my mouth on Ziggy's, while he continued to saw in
and out of George's mouth.  Before long I, too, had kicked off my shoes and
shucked my pants off, enabling my hard-on to bob free.

	"Nice piece of meat you've got there," Ziggy said as he reached
down.  The golden brown skin of his hand was warm to the touch, and I
gasped a little as he manipulated my foreskin over the sensitive, slippery
flesh that it covered.  "Very nice.  I think our friend George here's gonna
like sucking on this."

	Ziggy guided my cock over to his, which he pulled out of his
friend's mouth.  As we bounced our stiff pricks against each other, George
darted his tongue into the mix, enabling him to lick and taste the
quivering flesh.  He was clearly impatient , and before long he boldly
moved in to gobble me up.  The sensation was just tremendous as I eased
into his voracious mouth; as my shaft slid by, I could feel his tongue
darting to and fro like a horny little fish, eagerly tasting every square
inch of available skin.  When his nose was finally nestled in my pubic
hair, I paused for an instant so that I could just savor the feeling of
being buried in this moist, warm, pulsating cavern.

	George was clearly enjoying himself also, at least judging from the
way that he was working his shiny red little fireplug dick.  As he sucked
me and masturbated himself, he deftly unbuttoned his shirt, exposing his
muscled chest, which was covered by a fine scattering of dark hairs.
Needing something to do as he waited his turn, Ziggy reached down and began
twisting and pulling one of George's dark, engorged nipples, eliciting
groans that vibrated all along the length of my cock.

	It didn't take long before the three of us established a rhythm,
with Ziggy and me alternating turns at George's ripe mouth.  Our young
friend was so turned on at the embarrassment of cocksucking riches that
bounced in front of him that I really don't think he would have known which
way to turn if we hadn't been there to help guide his mouth to the
different targets.  Slowly, inexorably, the level of excitement ratcheted
up, until I had to struggle not to shoot each time I plunged back into
George's mouth.

	"You're getting pretty close, aren't you?" Ziggy finally said,
watching the look of intense concentration on my face as I pumped back into
George's mouth.

	Just thinking about cumming was almost enough to make me do it, so
I only barely nodded as I fought for control.

	"How about we just hose this boy down, then."  As Ziggy spoke, he
thrust his cock up against mine when it emerged from between George's lips.
Our young friend must have sensed a change in the air, because his hand
began to jack his own cock at a faster and faster tempo.  Ziggy caught my
eye.  "How about if we jerk each other off and just spray him?"

	Feeling my balls tighten, I pulled all the way out while at the
same time grasping my new friend's enormous meat.  The hot, slick feeling
of his organ was extremely sexy, and a cascade of horny thoughts and
sensations began to come crashing down over me.

	"Oh fuck," I groaned.  "I'm gonna fucking come."

	As I began to spurt, Ziggy used my cock like a firehose, painting
droplets of cum across George's face and up and down his torso.  A split
second later, I could feel strong pulsations begin to ripple up the length
of his shaft, which I was furiously pumping, and I aimed it directly at
George's crotch.  Ziggy's first volley sprayed George's tool, and before he
could fire again, I repositioned his fleshy cannon so that it would finish
the job of drenching our young cock-sucking friend's face.  Witnessing a
second big cumshot in the span of less than a minute was too much for
George, and he let out a high pitched squeal as he blew the biggest load of
the three of us.

	A shudder went through my body as I savored the afterglow of a most
delicious orgasm, and I leaned over to give Ziggy a kiss while dragging the
tip of my still-twitching cock across George's mouth.

	"Boy, service in this place is pretty amazing," I murmured.

	"Yeah, I always find that this one deserves a big tip," Ziggy
snickered.  He looked at his watch.  "But my lunch hour is over, and then
some."  He reached down and pulled George up, put his arms around him, and
then gave him a swat on his naked butt.  "I'll see you after the game on
Saturday.  I'm guessing that the regular crew will be at the after-game
party?"

	"No doubt," George said before turning to me.  "Maybe you should
come too.  I can guarantee that you'll cum if you come."

	I shrugged my shoulders.  "Well, at the moment I don't have
anything else on my calendar, except for my dinner tonight with His
Eminence.  You might just see me there."

	The three of us quickly dressed and parted ways.  Walking back
home, thinking of Beau, I felt a little guilty about my extracurricular
activities.  I resolved to exercise a little more self-restraint, at least
until Beau and I talked about where we were at.  Despite all of our
differences, in age, background, where we lived, I had a feeling that our
relationship might go somewhere.  And I didn't want to screw that up.
