Ramble Tales: Daniel and Gino

In the real world, Central Park is known for iconic sites like Bethesda Terrace, Belvedere Castle and Bow Bridge. But, in the gay world, there is one location that is well known above all else and that is The Ramble.

No one knows exactly when The Ramble became the hook-up spot for many gay men, but it became well known by the 1970’s and 80’s due to its easy access yet secluded nature. It’s like a small bit of woodland in the center of New York City.

There have been many tales about The Ramble, and in this tale, we return to Daniel and Gino. While this one won’t feature The Ramble, it will be referenced. We will return to The Ramble in the next story. If you missed the first story read Ramble Tales: A First Timer…

Daniel was quite happy to have found this attractive young man. As they made their way up Ninth Avenue, Daniel observed the individual, named Gino, as he was of decent height of 5’9 with his wavy brown hair and green eyes. Gino was wearing a simple black t-shirt and, grey shorts that hugged his built frame along with grey sneakers. Hmm…probably a football player in high school and he keeps himself well-groomed Daniel thought. Judging by these observations Daniel figured this was a good sign that this kid did have a decent apartment.

Sure enough, it was a pre-war apartment building on the Upper West Side with a doorman. It proved Daniel’s guess correct. As they entered the apartment, Gino stated that he was pet sitting for his cousins’ cat named Agatha Christie who greeted them at the door and promptly slinked off to leave the two men alone. Daniel thought ok he better have a good bed.

“Want a beer?” Gino asked as he went the kitchen, which in classic New York apartment fashion, was the smallest room in the place.

“Sure, what you got? Daniel inquired.

“I have Corona, Heineken and…this Serra Nevada?” Gino answered back with his head in the fridge.  

“Heineken,” Daniel responded.

Gino returned to the living room where Daniel had parked himself admiring the room. It looked like the classic bachelor pad. Posters of jazz icons lined the wall joined by some artwork picked up from a sidewalk seller found downtown. Daniel thought ‘this guy has good taste; he must make a lot.’ Daniel himself didn’t come from much. After coming out in high school, he tried community college near his home on the West Coast but feeling restless, he got on a bus and headed east.

Daniel was about to reminisce further when Gino asked him to sit.

“Like the place?” Gino asked, sensing Daniel’s sense of awe of the apartment.

“Yeah, it’s nice, better than what I have right now, this is a palace. Daniel said with awe. “What does your cousin do?”  

“He’s a musician but he’s also a Real Estate agent. He still plays for a wedding band. He’s on Long Island doing a gig and then he’s doing another one tomorrow at Tavern on the Green. People love a summer wedding, so he lets me stay overnight so A.C. has some company,” Gino responded.

“Sounds like a good arrangement,” Daniel said.

“It is and I’m glad I have an understanding uncle,” Gino agreed.

“So, what do you do?” Daniel asked.   

 “I just graduated from college with a business degree. Looking for a Wall Street job, but I’m currently in an internship. I doesn’t pay but I found ways to make it work this summer with some odd jobs here and there,” Gino answered.

“What kind of jobs?” Daniel inquired.

“Well, my mom ran a beauty spa back at home and I had to help around the store. I learned how to do massages, which is great since I played sports in high school and after my friends stopped hazing me about it, I started doing them on the side. Eventually I learned how to do ‘other’ massages,” Gino replied.

Daniel was surprised by the answer and despite the late hour was intrigued by the idea of a massage. Besides he already got his ass reamed by Robbie in The Ramble. A massage would be what he needed.

Gino, as if reading Daniel’s mind, asked if Daniel wanted one and without hesitation he said yes.

“Follow me, I don’t have all the equipment with me, but the bed will do. Just let me get a towel from the linen closet while you strip,” Gino said.

Gino led Daniel to the spare bedroom Gino slept in and then went to get a towel. While Gino’s cousin was aware of the massages he conducted, he made it clear anyone Gino brought over couldn’t spend the night. However, after hearing about Daniel’s predicament, Gino was willing to break the rule this one time. Besides it’s a massage not even sex, he mused. If he got Daniel out before nine a.m. he’d be in clear. After all he had breakfast plans with Jamie. That cute Midwesterner was a mystery to Gino. He sensed that Jamie was gay, but he wasn’t entirely sure, but he couldn’t focus on that right now.

Gino returned to the task at hand and found Daniel standing next to the bed in his underwear. Gino laid the towels across the entire bed and told Daniel he could go naked. Daniel removed his underwear and laid on the bed on his stomach. Gino then reached into the duffle bag and pulled out some oils and put them on the nightstand. Gino then reached for a book of matches and lit a few candles for the mood. He then turned off the lights and opened window a bit. The rain from earlier that night had cooled the city off but the room was a bit stuffy, so Gino turned on the ceiling fan.

Finally, with the mood set, Gino got to work. First, he applied the oils to Daniels upper back. Next, he massaged Daniel’s shoulders which Daniel didn’t say much. Gino didn’t expect much of a reaction. He pressed his thumb deep and using a pincher like grip worked Daniel’s shoulders until he heard Daniel moan a bit softly in response. Satisfied that he had done a good job on the shoulders, Gino moved down to the thighs and that’s where things got interesting.

Gino began to massage Daniel’s thighs and glutes before returning to Daniel’s round buttocks which looked like a freshly baked roll. Gino added a moderate amount of oil to Daniel’s butt and spread the oil out by kneading his fingers gently in a circular motion. Daniel moaned even more, which signaled to Gino that it was time to move to inside the crevice and massage the anal cavity. Gino only did it with guys he knew for sure were gay, otherwise he’d lose the few straight male clients he had. As he worked on that area, he noticed Daniel’s 7-inch cock stiffen and decided to massage the scrotum area as well. As he did that Daniel spoke for the first time puncturing the silence.

“Keep going”

Daniel himself couldn’t believe he was this aroused. He had already been fucked by Robbie, it was already 3 in the morning, he should be exhausted and yet the massage reinvigorated him. Somehow this kid had a gift with his hands. Daniel wanted to be jerked off to see how good this kid really was.

“Wanna give me a proper happy ending?” Daniel asked.

“Most definitely,” Gino answered with a devilish grin.

Daniel flipped over to his back and spread his legs out a little. Gino for his part, removed his shirt and applied more oil to Daniel’s shaft. Out of the corner of his eye, Daniel noticed Gino’s shorts had a noticeable bulge in them. Maybe I’ll get lucky twice tonight Daniel thought.

Gino gently stroked Daniel’s cock at first with one hand on the shaft and the other around the balls. He’d alternate that hand between playing with the balls and giving support to Daniel’s stiff cock. The tugging wasn’t hard like a typical handjob Daniel realized it was more a of a gentle caress which Daniel, for his part, was surprised that was possible. Gino kept control of the situation which blurred the lines between massage that just started just 10 minutes earlier to a clearly sexual act. Eventually, the gentle motions of the handjob gave way to a moderately faster pace and that caused Daniel to start to squirm. Daniel realized that and began to take deep breaths to keep himself from bursting and eventually relaxed as Gino clearly had control of his cock and was only going to release it when Daniel was ready. Daniel couldn’t even remember the last time a hand job such as this was that good.

After a few minutes of Gino stroking at this pace until he reached for one last bit dollop of oil to apply to Daniel’s cock. Daniel sensed that if there was a time to climax it was now. Sure enough, Gino picked up speed and tugged at Daniel’s balls a bit more. Daniel felt the urge to burst growing inside him as he didn’t cum at The Ramble, so now was a good time as ever.

“I’m close,” Daniel moaned.

Gino briefly paused to let Daniel catch his breath and reposition his cock to point at Daniel’s chest and stomach. Gino resumed the stroking slow at first, but then in an abrupt switch sped up and Daniel knew all resistance was futile. He screamed an ‘oh fuck’ so loud it could’ve woken the neighbors. Two seconds later a rapid volley of cum came so fast and furious out of Daniel. Thick ropes of his man fluid stretched from stomach to chest with a small spurt hitting his chin. Gino lost count after the 4th burst of cum, as Daniel was quite the shooter. Daniel for his part felt his vision temporarily blur. Before coming back into focus, Daniel gaze returned to Gino’s bulge which he was sure was bigger since the last time he looked at it.

“Ok so now that you made me happy, I get to return the favor,” Daniel said.

Gino gave it a thought and figured why the hell not. After all, money wasn’t on the table and even though Daniel was in the passive role, he knew when to take charge and his cock was throbbing in the tight boxers he wore to the club that night.

“Ok if that’s what you want,” Gino said. Gino reached into his dresser and pulled a condom and lube from a box. Daniel grinned and adjusted his body on the bed. Gino dropped his shorts and underwear in one motion and climbed onto the bed. The climb was slow and seductive while Gino drew Daniel closer to Gino’s impressive 8-inch cock. Long and cut, it reminded him of Robbie’s cock but slightly thicker. The exact type of dick Daniel liked. Boy he really did get lucky tonight. I wonder if Robbie got with the cute intern yet. Jessie? Jackie? Jamie? Crap, I forgot the kid’s name.  

Before Daniel could continue the thought, Gino had applied a liberal amount of lube and then pushed his throbbing member into Daniel’s hole, which still had some leftover cum inside the cave wonder that was his asshole. Gino reached deep, as was to be expected, but then pulled all the way out before reentering. Gino did this a few more times as if to tease Daniel. Daniel, now aware of how Gino operated, grunted with each thrust until the 5th one in which Gino left it inside of him and began to thrust. Unlike the hand job, Gino kept a steady almost rhythmic speed of fucking. This Daniel was surprised at. When he was younger and filled with way more cum, usually the men he hooked up with back home and his first few years in New York often fucked so quickly and roughly that he rarely got a tender one. Robbie was one of those he got who while a top was surprisingly tender. Gino, it appeared was one as well. In another uncharacteristic move began to grunt along with Gino, who was also enjoying moment.

Gino, who by now was also surprised by the turn of events, kept thrusting his diamond hard cock into Daniel’s hole. He sensed that it was looser than he expected which he suspected that meant that Daniel had been used earlier that evening. Realizing that the missionary position might not work in his favor, Gino suggested that Daniel ride him instead. They moved to the cowboy position and Daniel decided he’d take some control. Daniel began to ride Gino’s cock and picked up the pace. Luckily since Gino’s cock was straight and not curved Daniel could lean a bit forward and grip Gino’s thighs while the two began to thrust madly on the bed. The thrusts were also met with grunts from both men as they were now in complete sync with each other. Daniel was impressed by the young man’s stamina and Gino equally so. The few twink like gays he did pick up often couldn’t last as long with his cock, so he usually got them to come instead and then finished off with a hand job of his own. Daniel was perhaps the first proper fuck he had all year, and it wasn’t even the 4th of July yet.  

Speaking of fireworks, Gino realized that he too was about to bust and asked Daniel where did he want his cum.

“Feed me your cum,” Daniel begged.

Gino thrusted his cock a few more times and then realizing how truly close he was he pushed Daniel off him and removed the condom. He then got in Daniel’s face stroked his baby maker a few times and just like Daniel several minutes earlier sent waves of cum flooding Daniel’s mouth. Daniel struggled at first to accommodate but managed to get the cum mostly from his face to his mouth and swallowed it.

Both men now spent, panted until they finally got back to a regular breathing. After a minute, Gino got up and removed a towel to clean themselves off. Gino took the towels off the bed and put them in a pile on the floor. He retrieved a pair of gym shorts from the duffle bag and announced to Daniel that if he wanted to share the bed with him it was better than the couch. Daniel agreed and went over to pick up  his underwear off the floor and put it back on his body. Gino pulled the sheets out to let Daniel in and then he blew out the candles and finally turned off the light on the nightstand. It was now 4 a.m. and the two fell into a deep sleep. Agatha Christie, the cat, who had been hiding in the other bedroom also was asleep.

The next morning

 

Gino awoke a little after 8 am. Slightly groggy but came to as soon as he saw Daniel on the other side of the bed. Daniel awoke soon after and the reality of last night came through to the two of them.

“I should go, mind of I wash up?” Daniel said.

“Sure, I’m going to head out and take a quick jog before I meet a friend for breakfast so don’t take long,” Gino said.

Daniel walked to the bathroom and put some soap and water to his face first, second his armpits and finally he his underwear to clean his ass. The cum had pretty much pooled onto the underwear so Daniel decided to go commando. Fully dressed a few minutes later, he was about to ask Gino if he had a spare plastic bag to put the soiled piece of clothing in when a phone rang. It wasn’t his cell phone nor a land line, but it was surprisingly Gino’s. Gino picked up the phone, expecting a call from his cousin when to his surprise it was from an unknown number. Despite not recognizing the number, Gino picked it up anyway.

“Hello?” Gino said.

“Hey Gino, its Jamie, so funny story about my boss…I’m at his place.”

“Wait what? How did that happen?” Gino said incredulously.

“It’s a long story, we still on for breakfast?” Jamie said.

 “Yeah, tell me the address and I’ll pick you up,” Gino replied.

“Give a sec, Robbie what’s the address?” Jamie asked. Robbie told Jamie who in turned repeated it to Gino. Gino then said see you later and hung up. Daniel entered the room and saw Gino had a puzzled expression on his face.

“Hey, I was going to ask one question but now I feel like I need to ask another, what are you thinking?” Daniel inquired.

“Well, it turns out my dorm roommate somehow spent the night at his boss’s apartment and its actually near here,” Gino answered.

Daniel’s mind whirled. Wait a minute, the intern, wasn’t he staying somewhere in Brooklyn? Robbie mentioned that recently. It can’t be a coincidence.

“Ok so next question how close are we talking, and can I get a bag for my underwear?”

“146 West 75th Street” Gino said as he rummaged for a plastic bag. Daniel froze, it WAS the same intern from last night. Now this got very interesting indeed.

Daniel composed himself before Gino turned back to him. Daniel graciously took the bag and put the soiled undergarments with Robbie’s seed leakage the night before and made his way to the door. He was about leave when Gino called from the hall.

“I don’t usually say this, but I hope we get to see each other again. Last night was incredible.”

Daniel turned to face the young man and said to Gino whilst looking at him and the poster of Casablanca behind him and said, “Gino I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship and I’ll see you at breakfast.” With a wink Daniel walked out of the apartment leaving an extremely puzzled but equally curious Gino behind.

To be continued.  

I hope to get part four out soon wish me luck!
