Lucas Baxter was drop-dead gorgeous with a bulky, masculine frame.  More importantly, he was an extremely talented actor/singer.  He starred in the annual high school musical every year that he attended there.  In college, he majored in drama, and belonged to the drama club.  He was in every production the drama club presented, but the lead kept eluding him.  The problem was that he couldn’t dance.  He did all the steps correctly, but his huge frame made him look clumsy on stage.  To compensate, he produced and directed some of the college shows.

In spite of his good looks and considerable talent, he failed to get work on Broadway, after two years of auditioning hundreds of times.  Basically, the problem he encountered was his poor dance ability.  Finally, he swallowed his pride, and landed a job as a gofer for a big musical, which was currently in rehearsal, and which was due to start premieres in three months.  During that time, just by monitoring rehearsals, he learned the music, lyrics and book of the entire play.  The lead male role called for someone with a strong voice and great acting ability.  There was little or no dancing required, at least for the male lead.  He loved everything about the production, and knew it would be a big hit.  He set himself a goal of ingratiating himself with the director and lead actor in the hope of eventually landing a part in the play.  He knew just what he would do.

Luke was gay, always was, and always would be.  He was aware that the director, Frank Sanders, was gay and single.  His gaydar wasn’t good enough to pick up any vibes on the lead actor, Montgomery Davis, so he decided that he was going to seduce Frank, even though Monty was his age, and Frank was ten years older.  Frank was in a better position to give him a part than Monty anyhow.  At that point in his disappointing career, he would be more than happy if the role was no more than a walk on.

One evening, after the rehearsal, Luke knocked on Frank’s office door.  He waited for Frank to say, “Come in,” before he entered.  Frank knew who he was, and asked, “What can I do for you, Luke?” 

“The question is what can I do for you?  Is there anything I can get you before I go home?”

“No,” Frank answered.  “I’m good.”

Luke smiled seductively.  “Well I’m going to ask you the same question every night.  One of these days, I might be able to do something for you.”

Frank smiled back.  “Maybe someday, you will be able to get me something, or give me something,” he added in a not so subtle innuendo. 

Luke picked up on it, and thought, “This is going to be so easy.”

True to his word, Luke stopped by Frank’s office every night, before going home, to ask him if he could get him anything.  Frank always thanked him, said no, and sent him on his way.  After a week or so, Frank finally said, “You know Luke, I have to work late tonight.  Why don’t you get each of us a sandwich and a coke, and we’ll have a late dinner together?”

“What would you like?” Luke asked, smelling success.

“I’ll have whatever you have,” Frank said.  This time, it was he who gave Luke a seductive smile.

While they were eating their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Luke asked Frank why he was working so late.

“I want to try something out.  The love duet at the end of Act I, does not bring the curtain down.  Instead there is spoken dialogue at the end of the act.  I think a musical play should end every act with music.”

“Definitely,” Luke smiled.  “Hey, why don’t I start to sing, and you speak the dialogue wherever you think it fits in, until you find the right spot to pause the music.”

“That’s a great idea, Luke.  If you are going to stay awhile, why don’t you get comfortable?”

Luke smiled and removed his bulky sweater.  Underneath, he was wearing a muscle shirt with very tight, much worn out jeans.”  Frank began to stare, and he felt his cock rising.  Luke’s package was very evident.  Frank was sure that the young man wore no underwear.  Based on the outline, he reckoned Luke to be over four inches flaccid, and cut.  He was right.

“Okay, start singing,” Frank said.

“Hey man, it’s a love song.  How about pretending to be the girl?  Put your arms around me, and get me in the mood?”

Frank didn’t say anything.  He stood up and put his front to Luke’s back, pressing his cock hard against Luke’s ass.  Frank’s arms encircled Luke’s waist.  “Is this putting you in the right mood?”

“Almost, but I can think of even more intimate things we could do, if you’re of a mind to.”

“I’m of a mind to,” Frank answered.  “Start singing.” Then he kissed Luke lightly on his earlobe,

So Luke started to sing the song.  His voice was mesmerizing, and Frank was really feeling the love that Luke was singing about.  He felt the love so much that without thinking, he let his hand wander from Luke’s waist to Luke’s crotch.  He wasn’t surprised that Luke was as hard as a rock.  Luke sang the song several times, and finally Frank found the perfect spot to interrupt the music, and insert the dialogue.  The words were in an appropriate spot at last, and now the act could end with the two leads bringing the orchestra to a curtain-worthy crescendo.

Finally satisfied, Frank turned Luke around, and began to kiss him tenderly without tongue.  “I had no idea you had such a magnificent voice,” Frank said.  “How would you like to understudy the lead?  You can stop being a gofer, and get paid scale, unless of course, you are called upon to perform.”

“I’d like to stop being a gofer for the cast and crew, but I wouldn’t mind being your gofer for the run of the show.”

Frank smiled, and began to kiss Luke in earnest, with lots of tongue.  When they came up for air, Frank motioned towards the sofa with his eyes.  The two men headed in that direction, undressing as they approached the sofa.  Luke lay down on his back, and Frank lay down on top of him in a sixty-nine position. Luke began to suck Frank’s cock immediately, but before Frank returned the favor, he instructed Luke.  “Let yourself cum in my mouth.  We can fuck another time.”

Luke had already achieved his goal of being a part of the production, but when Frank said, “another time,” referring to having more sex together, he was elated.  He felt that every time they had sex, he might be able to elicit additional favors.  All of a sudden, a walk on role was not his desire any more.  He envisioned himself singing the lead.

His greed turned him into a fantastic lover, and when Frank came, he wailed loudly, and thanked Luke for giving him the best blow job ever.

“Spend the night with me?” Frank requested.  “I suspect that we can make each other truly happy.”

Luke was very surprised.  All he could do was smile and nod.  A disquieting thought occurred to him.  He didn’t want Frank to fall in love with him.  Love was not part of his plan.

So Frank took Luke home with him.  They played with each other, and fondled their cocks in the shower, stroking them with plenty of soap.  They inserted fingers into each other’s asses, and began to stretch out their openings.  Frank was beginning to grunt like a pig, and he suggested that they continue in bed before he went crazy.  He asked Luke to allow him to fuck first.  Luke agreed that it would be his pleasure.

Luke got into bed and lay on his back.  Frank pulled him to the edge of the bed, and put a pillow under his butt.  He put both of Luke’s feet on each of his shoulders, and began to coat Luke’s opening with KY Jelly.  He went in with his middle finger as deeply as he could, and reamed Luke’s ass until the young man was moaning in pleasure.  Finally, he put on a condom, greased his cock, and entered Luke slowly.  He met no resistance at all, even though he was seven fat inches of uncut manhood.

Frank started to stroke in and out as gently as he could.  Not only was his pleasure maximized, but so was Luke’s.  Luke was no dummy, and he was far from being a virgin.  He became aware that nobody had ever fucked him like this before.  Frank wasn’t just fucking him; he was making love to him.  Luke was certain that once he had gotten what he wanted, he would move on.  If Frank fell in love with him, when he did decide it was time to take another step to further his career, Frank would be terribly hurt.  Disappointment was often the result of falling in love, especially with the wrong person.

When Luke realized that he didn’t want Frank to be hurt, he could only wonder about his own feelings for the director.  He determined not to allow himself to fall in love.  He vowed instead to find a way to get Monty to leave the show.

The next morning, before rehearsals began, Frank took Monty and Luke aside.  “I auditioned Luke yesterday,” Frank lied.  “He has a magnificent voice, and he’s a talented actor.  I’ve been looking among the cast for who might be your understudy, and nobody fits the bill.  Meet your new understudy, Monty.”

Monty was straight, and Luke’s good looks meant nothing to him.  He turned to Frank and asked, “Who’s going to run errands for us?”

“Luke has agreed to continue to help us out until I find a replacement.  I should have someone before the end of the week.”

Monty turned to Luke.  “Get me cup of coffee, then?” he said, and he walked away.  He seemed very upset, and for the life of him, Luke could not figure out why he should feel that way.  He knew that he would get an understudy before opening night.  Why shouldn’t it be him?

Monty had a legitimate reason for being upset, but it was his little secret.  He despised any young actor or actress who had to sleep with the boss in order to get a part.  When he saw Luke and Frank together, he knew instinctively that they had slept together, and he was angry at both of them, especially Luke.  To make matters worse, he was very religious and very homophobic.  He could be friendly with homosexuals, after all he was part of the theater community, but he could not abide the sodomy they performed.  Nevertheless, at twenty-five, Monty was still a virgin.  He was waiting for marriage, but as of yet, no young woman had caught his attention.

When Luke brought Monty his coffee, Luke said, “You seem to be angry at me.  Please don’t be.  I mean you no harm.  I was even hoping we could get together sometime, and you could coach me.  You were born to play this role, and there is so much I could learn from you.”

Flattery will get you everything, and it melted Monty’s heart.  “Why thank you, Luke,” Monty said.  “Yes, let’s do that.  I’d love to give you some singing and acting lessons.”

“Thank you, Monty, thank you.  You have no idea how happy that makes me.  Is there anything else I can get for you?”  Monty shook his head, and Luke went to ask Frank if there was anything he needed.

There were only two big production numbers in this show.  The first was in the beginning.  The action takes place at a carnival, where boy meets girl.  The stage is full of singers and dancers.  The second takes place at the end of the play.  The boy and girl have had a misunderstanding. The boy goes back to the carnival, hoping to find her and make amends.  The singing and dancing in the second act carnival is even more spectacular than in act one, because it’s the grand finale. 

Much to his pleasant surprise, Frank told Luke to be part of the singing ensemble in these two scenes.  Luke felt that he had made a good start in his upward spiral.  As a result, they both knew that the sex tonight would be extraordinary, and it was.  Notwithstanding the great time he and Frank were having in bed together, Luke made up his mind to seduce Monty.   He figured that Monty was straight, but he had no idea how much the man loathed homosexuals.  He was so secure in his good looks and acting abilities, that he felt he could accomplish the deed.

A few days later, Luke approached Monty, and asked if Friday evening would be a good time to get together and start the coaching lessons.

Monty laughed.  “My dance card is empty.  Sure, come to my place about six.  I’ll make a light snack, and let the lessons begin.” 

Monty was not a loner by nature, but he was a lonely man.  Secretly, in spite of his prejudices, he was pleased that he would have company Friday evening.  Once and only once, it occurred to him that Luke might try to come on to him.  He shrugged off the thought, and assumed that he could handle it, should it happen.  He had no idea how forward Luke would be.

When Monty let Luke into his apartment on Friday evening, Luke embraced his host and kissed him on the lips.  Monty was surprised, but he wasn’t offended.  Everyone in show business kissed each other all the time, without regard to gender.  He was a little uncomfortable, but he let it slide.

“I’ve heard how much you love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches,” Monty said. “Come into the kitchen while I prepare them, and we can talk some before the coaching begins.”

While they were eating their snack, Luke came right out with it, and nearly shocked the pants off Monty, when he asked, “Why were you so upset when Frank told you I was going to be your understudy?  I mean, you knew you would have one before the show opened.  Is it because I’m gay?”

“Absolutely not,” Monty blurted.  “It’s just that I could tell you had slept with Frank, and I don’t think actors should advance their careers using sex as a tool.  I think they should earn their roles based on merit.  That having been said, whatever you and Frank did, and may continue to do, when I heard you sing the other day, there was nobody I would want more to be my understudy.  I predict a great career for you, Luke.”

“You surmised that I had sex with Frank?” Luke asked in surprise.  “For a straight guy, you have pretty good gaydar.”

“Do you think so?  I can usually tell if a guy is gay, no matter how macho he is; like you.”

The moment was very awkward, so Monty said, “Let’s finish eating, and get going.  I have a baby grand in the living room.  We’ll study there.  I have the entire score.  I noticed that no matter how beautiful your voice is, you take breaths at the wrong time.  Eventually you will be out of breath when you have to sustain a note for any length of time.”

When they were in the living room, Monty began to play the first solo that the young protagonist sings in the play, and Luke began to sing.  Monty stopped Luke several times to point out a more appropriate place to take a breath, than where he was presently doing it.  In the end, Luke sang the song straight through, breathing where instructed.  He was surprised at how much easier it was to complete the number.

The next song was a duet, and Luke got brave.  He tried to use the same ploy he had used with Frank.  Why fight with success?  He told Monty that they could sing the song acapella, and the guy could put his arms around the girl like in the play.

“Do you want to be the girl or the guy?” Luke asked with a laugh.

“I’ll be the girl.  We’re teaching you to sing like a guy.”  That struck them both so funny that they both broke out laughing.  “I mean like the guy in the play,” Monty explained.

Monty stood up and began to sing the first lines of the duet.  Luke came up behind him, and put his arms around Monty’s waist.  He pushed his body hard against Monty’s ass, and he began to sing.  Their voices blended beautifully, and as the passions of the lovers in the play began to boil over, Luke pushed harder against Monty’s butt, and Monty found himself pushing back.  Luke wanted to move his hand down to Monty’s crotch, but he thought better of it.  He told himself that Monty was straight, and he should go slowly.

As the song neared the end, Monty turned around.  At this point in the play, the lovers have their first kiss.  Their lips were inches apart and instinctively the two men began to reach in to kiss each other, but Monty pulled away.  He realized that he had let himself be enchanted by the beautiful love duet.

“Your breathing was pretty good, but let me show you a couple of places where it would be better to breathe, and a couple of places where you shouldn’t.”  He referred to the score, and showed Luke what he had in mind.  Luke asked if they should sing the duet again.

Monty grew frightened of his own new and unfamiliar feelings.  “No,” he said, “that’s enough for tonight.  We’ll continue next time.”

“Great,” Luke said.  “When will next time be?”

“I’m free all weekend.”

“That’s wonderful.  Do you think we could have brunch together tomorrow, and then continue what we started?” Luke asked.  That was the most intentional innuendo he had ever offered to a prospective bed mate.

“I’d like that,” Monty answered.  “I have very few friends, Luke, but somehow I feel that you and I are going to be great buddies.”

They made up where to meet for brunch, and as they parted, Luke gave Monty another chaste kiss on his lips.  It was Monty who parted his lips ever so slightly.  That night, for the first time in his life, Monty had erotic dreams.  They all concerned Luke, and he wasn’t revolted by anything the two men did together in his dreams.

On the other hand, Luke could sleep very little.  He knew, without a doubt, that Monty was his.  Now he had to figure out how to keep a delicate balance between Frank and Monty.  It would be very unwise to ignore Frank.  It was just too early in the game.

-3-

When Luke and Monty met each other in the coffee shop the next day, there were no kisses on the lips, but there was a manly hug.  They lingered over their brunch much longer than either of them had planned.  They found it so easy to talk to each other, that they did not notice the passage of time.

They found out that they had both been drama nerds in high school and college.  Luke admitted that it aided in his sex life with the guys.  Monty said that girls came on to him all the time, but he couldn’t get excited by any one of them.  In fact, he felt so at ease with Luke that he admitted that he was a virgin.

By the same token, Luke felt comfortable enough with Monty, that he dared comment on his virginity.  “Maybe if girls don’t arouse you, you might be interested in exploring the possibility that you might be gay.”  He laughed when he said that, hoping that Monty would think that he was only kidding.

“Not on your life,” Monty shot back.  He laughed also, indicating that this conversation was one big joke.  But given how he was beginning to feel about Luke, he began to doubt his own veracity.

They finally got back to Monty’s apartment.  They both kicked off their loafers and got comfortable.  Luke wanted to sing the duet again so that he could breathe at those points where Monty had instructed.  Monty started singing first, and Luke came up behind him, repeating last night’s stage directions.  As their song became more and more impassioned, Luke got bolder.  He let his hands wander down from Monty’s waist to his abdomen.  He was afraid of placing a hand on Monty’s package, yet.

When they turned to face each other at the end of the duet, they allowed themselves to kiss, just as they would on stage.  It was supposed to be short and symbolic, but they couldn’t let go.  The kiss became more passionate.  Their lips parted and they began to tickle each other’s tongues.

“What’s happening to me?” Monty asked.

“I think that you are experiencing love for the first time in your life,” Luke said.  Now Luke was the confused one.  He wondered if he was all right with someone loving him.

“That’s not possible,” Monty whimpered.  Two people of the same sex can’t love each other.  They can have sex together, but they can’t love each other.”

“You couldn’t be more wrong.  It’s very possible.  Now tell me.  Would you like to take this further and let me take you to paradise, or would you rather that I go home?” Luke asked.

“Please don’t go,” Monty pleaded, “but I honestly don’t know if I can have sex with you.  Furthermore, my religion forbids it.”

“All you have to do is lie back, and I’ll take you on the journey of your life.  You don’t have to do a thing to me, or for me.”

Monty didn’t answer.  He and Luke got naked as quickly as possible and Monty lay down on his back, spreading his legs.  Luke fell on top of him, rubbing their cocks together.  When Monty was purring with pleasure, Luke began to give him a trip around the world that lasted for an hour.

Finally, Monty begged to cum.  Luke took a condom from the pocket of his jeans.  He rolled it down Monte’s cock, And applied lubricant generously. Then he greased his own ass.  He squatted over Monty, and directed the virgin’s cock up his asshole. When Monty was all the way in, Luke did not move.  The two men just stared at each other and smiled. 

When Luke began to move up and down, Monty instinctively began to thrust upward.  All this time, he was crying, and Luke could hear him say over and over again, “Please forgive me, God.”

Suddenly Monty began to wail, and he came.  He filled the condom, and his essence began to drip down and out of the sheath.  Luke stood up quickly, and removed the condom.  Monty’s cock was coated with cum, and Luke bent down, and devoured everything he could, until Monty was clean and dry.

Notwithstanding that Monty was crying, and he kept asking God to forgive him, he smiled at Luke, and asked, “How soon can we do this again?” 

Luke didn’t answer.  He just smiled and took Monty’s limp dick into his mouth.  As he sucked, it began to grow again, and all Luke could think about was the enigma of how he was going to juggle Frank and Monty, and not upset either man.  He was convinced that they had both fallen in love with him.  The thought of a threesome entered his mind.  He was convinced that Frank would go for it, but Monty never would.

The show opened to rave reviews.  The day after the opening, the line of people waiting to buy tickets, stretched a city block.  Both Frank and Monty expected to celebrate with Luke in a big way.  Luke, on the other hand, was on the horns of a dilemma.  All during rehearsals and tryouts, he deftly had enough sex with each of them, that they each thought that Luke was theirs exclusively.  He didn’t dare upset either one of them until he had played the lead in the show at least one time.  He desperately wanted that experience on his resume.

In order to help him decide what he should do, Luke called in sick the morning after the opening.  He stayed home in order to meditate.  He needed to examine his feelings for both men.  He concluded that he didn’t love either of them, but at the same time, he didn’t want to hurt them.  At the end of a long day, and an even longer, sleepless night, he devised a plan.

He would fight to get the lead role in the touring company of the musical.  That way he could leave both of them and it would be strictly business.  He did not neglect Frank, but he got even more lovey-dovey with Monty.  At this point in their relationship, Monty was a full participant in their love making.  He not only reciprocated, he enjoyed giving as much as getting.  He had come a long way thanks to Luke.

One evening as Monty and Luke were basking in the afterglow, kissing and fondling each other, Luke said, “Honey, Frank gave me some good news this morning.  He said that he had met with the producers and composers, and they have come to a business decision.”

Monty started to laugh.  “You better not tell me, they are closing the show to take a tax shelter loss.”

“Hardly, dufus.  Now be quiet, and I’ll fill you in.  The show is so successful that they have instructed Frank to put together the first road company as soon as possible.  They also voted to allow professional, regional acting companies to put the show on, beginning one year after opening night.”

“That’s fantastic,” Monty said, and he smacked a wet one on Luke.

“Yes, it is fantastic,” Luke agreed.  “Honey, I want you to know that I am going to audition and push Frank for the lead in the touring company.”

“We’ll be separated for weeks at a time,” Monty lamented.  “But I want the best for you and I’ll help convince Frank also.”

Luke leaned over, and kissed Monty with as much passion as he could.  “There’s one thing you could do for me immediately,” Luke said.

“Sure, anything.  What did you have in mind?”

“Skip a matinee.  Call in sick or something.  I want to show Frank that I can carry the show.”

“I don’t know,” Monty hedged.

“Just tell Frank you have a sore throat or something.  You can have a miraculous recovery before the evening performance.  I won’t ask you ever to do that again.  I love you baby, “Luke lied.  “I’d do it for you.”  He gave Monty another passionate kiss.

“You win,” Monty said, as he leaned over and took Luke’s cock into his mouth.

The next Saturday, Luke sang the lead in the matinee performance.   There was much groaning in the audience, when the patrons read the hastily mimeographed announcement that Luke was going to play the lead. After he sang the first number, they could care less.  He was handsome and virile, and he sang like an angel.  More importantly, Frank was totally impressed with the former gofer.

During the evening performance, Luke pulled Frank into his office, and started to undress him.  They had wild sex for the whole time the performance was in progress.  When it was over, Luke minced no words.  “Frank,” Luke lied again.  “I love you, and even though we’ll be separated for long periods of time, I’m begging you to let me play the lead in the road company.”

Monty started to laugh.  “I made up my mind that you were going to head up the road company, the first time I heard you sing in my dressing room.  Now stop jabbering and let’s continue to make love.”

Luke cringed when Frank said ‘make love,’ instead of ‘have sex.’

-5-

Four months later, the road company opened with its first performance in Rochester, NY.  After the performance, Luke was in his dressing room removing his make-up, when there was a knock at the door.  Luke yelled, “Come in.”

The door was opened by an exceptionally handsome young man.  He was wearing very tight jeans and a muscle shirt.  Luke’s cock started to grow.  He was about to ask who the young man was, when he said, “Hi, Mr. Baxter.  My name is Mike  errill.  I guess I’m what you people call a gofer.  I’ll be with you for the run of the tour.  I was just headed back to the hotel, and I was wondering if there was anything I could do for you before I leave.”

“I’m good,” Luke said.  “Maybe another time, okay?”

“Could I help you remove your make-up.  It’ll save you some time.  You’ll be able to get to bed sooner, and rest for tomorrow’s performance.”

Luke was flabbergasted.  Before he could respond, Mike grabbed the cold cream and tissues and began to remove Luke’s make-up.  He was so gentle that Luke became aroused.  While he was removing the last of the make-up, Mike said, “The bar at the hotel will be closed at this hour, but I know a nice place very near to the hotel that stays open until 2 AM.  Can I buy you a drink?”

Luke smiled at Mike.  There was no doubt in either of their minds, that this was leading someplace.  “Why spend the money?” Luke asked.  “There’s a mini-bar in my room.  Come up and I’ll make us a night cap.”

“That’s great,” Mike said.  “You know, I sing a little.  Maybe while we’re up there, you could listen to me, and tell me if you think I could make it in the theater.”

“Sure,” Luke said, “and maybe, in exchange, you can help me with something?”

The two men smiled at each other, and Luke said, “Let’s go.”
