James Grady

James and his mother Nora emerged from the subway and took in the excitement of Times Square. The crowds, the lights and the billboard of the man smoking a Camel! It was a Saturday night and James was dressed in one of Mr. Ross’ black suits and Nora wore a beautiful black dress. Though Manhattan was just 30 minutes from Brooklyn, it was a world away in the fall of 1934

They saw the sights as they walked 10 blocks north to 52nd Street, then east as they reached the 21 Club restaurant with its elegant façade and lawn jockeys. Nora read the Daily News and listened to Walter Winchell on the radio along with lots of shows. She knew about high society and since they had Mr. Ross’ windfall, they could splurge.

“Grady, party of two” Nora said to the dapper host. “Right this way…” They all walked through the classy venue and were seated in the dark dining room with all sorts of toys hanging from the ceiling.

“Two gin martinis” Nora said to the waiter. They ate their steaks and baked potatoes with red wine and had desserts of flaming strawberries. James paid the bill and they walked down 52nd Street to the Alvin Theatre.

“How exciting! Our first Broadway show! I’ve heard that girl from Queens on the radio, she’s great!” They made their way in with the crowd and were seated in the seventh row of the orchestra on the aisle. The curtain went up, it looked like a real ship on stage and all those actors singing and dancing! Ethel Merman made her entrance and sang:

In olden days, a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking.
But now, God knows,
Anything goes.

 What a voice! It filled the packed theater and James and Nora were transfixed. At intermission there were martinis and cigarettes. The rest of the show was just as thrilling and how they clapped at the end and when Ethel Merman took her bows.

James and Nora were beaming as they walked through the theater district with its lights brighter now that it was dark. At 44th Street and Broadway Nora stopped. “I’m going on home. You should have a night out on the town without your mother. Go inside and have drink.” “Oh, ok ma” said James as he kissed Nora’s cheek. James entered the Hotel Astor; he had never seen such grandeur. “Excuse me” said James to one of the bellboys, “Which way is the bar?” The youth grinned and winked at him. “Up those stairs and make a left”

In the huge space was large oval-shaped bar. On one side was a gathering of swanky men and women and on the other side was a bunch of men of various types. “Ah, that must be the queer section” thought James as he headed over.

“Swell! You’re just in time!” loudly said a tall, handsome dark-haired young man. “I’m Francis and this is my chum Edmund” he shook James’ hand. “I’m James.” “In five minutes, Edmund is going to turn 19. We’re down from Yale to celebrate. You can call us Frank and Ed.”

“Frank promised me a good time. We’ve been here an hour and I was getting worried but here you are!” said the grinning blond Ed who was even more handsome than Frank. Both young men were dressed in tailored tan trousers which accentuated their ample crotches, and which caught James’ eyes, white shirts, red striped ties and navy blazers with gleaming gold buttons.

“Pleased to meet you” said James shaking both of their hands. They were all standing by the bar and Frank poured three glasses of champagne and passed glasses to James and Ed. When the big gold and wooden clock above the bar struck 12, they all toasted and sipped. “Happy Birthday!” They chatted as they finished the bottle of champagne. Frank was from Minnesota and Ed was from Pennsylvania.

“What is your accent?” asked Frank. “I’m from Brooklyn” said James. “Where the tough guys are!” laughed Ed. “In that suit it looks like you could rub us out.”

“Oh, I’ve been known to rub fellas.”

“I bet you do” chuckled Frank.

“Well, there’s more to drink in our room, if you’d like to join us and keep the celebration going” said Ed.

“I’d be delighted.”

They left the bar and took the elevator to 17th floor. The room was nice sized with two twin beds. Frank poured whisky into glasses, he and Ed sat on a small sofa and James in a chair. They all smoked cigarettes.

“James, I’d like my birthday present now” said Ed.

James got up from his chair, went before the young men, sunk down in between Ed’s spread legs, unzipped his tan trousers, undid his belt and tugged his underwear. James was now stroking Ed’s fine young uncut cock and cupping his blond hairy balls. James then took Ed in his mouth and gave him the greatest pleasure there is for a man.

“Ahh” moaned Ed. “Frank, you picked another winner.” “I have excellent taste” said Frank.   

“Exquisite” sighed Ed as James suckled his balls. James sensed Ed was close, and so moved back to his cock and was soon chugging down the spunk of a youth.

“What an exceptional cocksucker! Such technique!” said Frank as James was deepthroating his big cock. “Look at him go all the way down my shaft to the base.”

“James, it’s so exciting watching you do what you do so well, it’s making me hard again. When you finish off Frank can I have your ass for my birthday too?” James mumbled “yes” as continued sucking Frank’s cock. Frank soon spurted and was swallowed. James rose, and began taking his suit off which he methodically hung up. Frank and Ed tossed their clothes on the floor and were now nude and stiff again. James got on one of the beds on all fours.

“A lovely sight” sighed Ed. “However, I’d prefer you to sit on me” he said as he was greasing his cock with Vaseline. James was taken aback as he’d not done this before, but went to the sofa, Ed slathered James’ ass with Vaseline. “No, turn to face me so I can see your sweet face as I’m fucking you.” James turned and sat on Ed’s cock and rode it. “Heaven! I’m in heaven” sang Ed as he saw James’s contorted face as he fucked himself.  

Soon, James felt Frank pushing him forward and holding him. “What?! No! Please!” yelled James as he felt Frank’s cock touching his ass. James didn’t think such a thing was possible. “Shh! A tough guy like you can take us both” hissed Ed. “Your ass is meant for it.” James couldn’t believe the pain as Frank forced his cock into him alongside of Ed’s. Both cocks were firmly in place up James’ ass, and he thought he’d pass out from this awesome event of now being fucked by both Ed and Frank at the same time.

This sensual tableau of the three young men’s bodies obscenely entangled was made even more powerful when Ed reached his head up to kiss Frank. The two close friends continued kissing as they fucked James. From all this intensity, James’ throbbing cock spasmed, his jism landing on Ed’s chest. Soon, he felt Frank and then Ed climaxing deep inside him. “We both finished at the same time! Marvelous! James, you’re a spitfire!” said Ed.

Frank pulled out of James’ ass, then James lifted himself off Ed. “I told you I had something special planned for your birthday and it worked out so well” laughed Frank. “Very special, and indeed it did.” The trio were now sweaty, soiled and spent.

“I’ll clean up and be on my way” said James.

“You’re welcome to stay the night. We’re checking out at noon and you can join us for my birthday lunch” said Ed.

“That’s very nice of you. May I use your telephone?” “Sure.” “Ma, I’m not coming home tonight. Call Mr. Jensen in the morning and say I’m sick and can’t deliver the newspapers…”

Frank and Ed slept in one bed and James slept in the other.

“Rise and shine Brooklyn boy” said Frank the next morning. He and Ed were sitting on the sofa nude with their stiff cocks at attention. The groggy James limped out of bed and simultaneously sucked them off again. They all took showers and dressed. Ed and Frank had no luggage as it was just a day trip. After settling their bill at the front desk, they went to the American Indian Grill Room, a fancy restaurant decorated with all sorts of things from the American Museum of Natural History.

They were all starving, and each had steak, eggs, home fried potatoes and two Bloody Marys.

“You were a goddamn miracle! We had to fight off scads of old geezers after us last night before you showed up. Then there the ones who looked as though they’d slit our throats!” said Ed.

“Oh, it was an exciting romp and if worst came to worst, I’d have given a nice bellboy a big tip to join us. Luckily, the kid from Brooklyn turned up!”

A waiter brought a small strawberry shortcake with a candle to the table. James and Frank sang Happy Birthday and Ed blew out the candle. James went for his wallet when the waiter brought the check. “I got it” said Frank.

”Well, we have to get to Grand Central. It’s been swell meeting you James” said Ed outside. “Likewise, Ed, Frank.” They parted. Unbeknownst to Ed, James had placed a piece of paper scribbled with his name, address and telephone number in a pocket of Ed’s navy-blue blazer with the gleaming gold buttons. On the subway back to Brooklyn, James noticed that there was a twenty-dollar bill in his jacket pocket.

“I drank champagne…” said James to Nora at the kitchen table.
