I don't know when this was explained to us in Hebrew school, but I recall somebody saying that each Jewish person has associated with them a "book of life." I have this image of G-d sitting at his desk writing down the events of every person (wasn't there a movie with Jim Carrey that explored this idea?). Let's not go into the details and accept that the book of life exists. And really, the events that are recorded in the book of life are those that occur through the free will of the individual who's name is written on the cover, just like some people have their name placed on the outer lid of the casket before being lowered into the ground. Then the book of life closes, no more entries made - maybe. That might be a story for another time. For now several pages turn back to chapter 22 (not by coincidence the same age as Bob in this story). His plane just landed at Fort Lauderdale Airport where his parents await the new college graduate (this is starting to sound a lot like "The Graduate" with Dustin Hoffman, believe me this story will be very different).
I just finished my degree at Columbia University in New York, and now have a job offer with IBM in Fort Lauderdale. Things are really looking up for me. I'll be staying with my parents for as long as it takes to buy a condo down here. Dad said he'd help with the purchase, he's already given me $500K. I have another $800K in liquid assets and $3M in investments so I think I can afford something decent. I just got a dog also, a real cute black labrador puppy who I've named Buster. I knew right away he and I were going to become the best of friends. It's now been one week since my arrival and have an appointment to meet with a real estate agent this morning. His name is Rex Robinson, he says to just call him Robinson.
I found out about Robinson via my supervisor at IBM. Several people there give him very high praise for all the things that he does. I meet him at his office and then leave in his Mercedes (apparently he's doing very well) to view several properties. We spend a lot of time together that day, some of it just sitting in his car talking. Whatever it takes, he's going to find something really great for me. Robinson does mention he works out daily at a Gold's Gym in Fort Lauderdale and offers to show me around the place, he's friends with the owner Lou Gambone. He said the gym is always looking for men like me, men who show great potential for body development, or seek to maintain excellent physical condition. Robinson already knows what I look like without any clothes on I later learn....
OK, let's roll back the book of life to my junior year at Columbia. I'm sort of in a cash crunch, spending too much money on restaurants and other good times that the borough of Manhattan has to offer. I just need a quick $300 to get me through the week, but how? I ask around the dorm where I'm staying. I'm told that there's a man in Tribeca who pays cash to take pictures of men. Truth be told, I'm not ashamed of my body. I look pretty good actually. I go to the address with Kevin, my roommate in the dorm, just in case things get creepy.
We find the address, it's a converted warehouse, the apartment is just one large floor that's divided into living areas. Tommy is ok, he's in his 40's, says he used to model in his younger days. He has me sign a release and then it's picture time. The guy is very professional, tells me how to pose, he takes pictures of me fully clothed, then I take my shirt off, more pictures and poses are taken, then the shorts come off, now it's underwear shots. Before he has me take down my underwear, he asks me what really turns me on in another man. I guess I never really thought about it, almost seems like a personal question. I think he senses something is wrong and suggests we take a break, he says he remembered he needs to make a phone call.
Around 25 minutes later we hear the door intercom go off. Tommy lets a man inside, somebody I've never seen before, the most buff fantastic looking man I've seen in a long time. He says his name is Connor Maguire. Apparently Tommy has taken this guy's picture before and was called over to help me relax which he does. Just looking at this total masterpiece of a man gets me hard, which I suspect was the reason why he was called over. Connor excuses himself for a couple minutes while we resume the session. Where were we? Yes, it's time to let it all hang out and my underwear comes off. Connor reappears - naked and masturbating to the side of me. Now I see what's going on here. I instantly get hard and more pictures are taken from every possible angle and pose. The session ends, I'm paid, that's the ends of this. Or is it?
In a week Robinson finds me the perfect condo. It's more than what I wanted to spend but it's really nice on the ground floor, the 2nd bedroom I'll convert into a home office. There's even a special place where Buster can stay. I start going to Gold's Gym where I see both Lou and Robinson on a regular basis. Lou shows me all the workout stations, writes out a workout routine, he even spots me through several sessions. Knowing that I sometimes have a complicated work schedule, Lou offers to open the gym at 4am just for me. This way I can work out for a few hours, shower, change clothes, and be at work on time. I get into the habit of showering at the gym. My body looks great, even growing a short beard now.
Lou got me a card so I can let myself into the gym any time I want. It's Friday in May and I'm showering at the gym. Just as I'm finishing, Lou walks into the shower stall totally naked and with a huge erection. I knew this was going to happen and frankly welcome the company. I've been really horny lately with no real man prospects, the Grindr thing just wasn't working out. Lou makes his intentions very clear, he's a total bodybuilder and there's no way I can escape from this, he's just too strong. He says he's been lusting after me for weeks and now intends to have all of me. Yikes! We go to his private office where there's a fold-down bed (how convenient), and totally go at it. First we kiss for a long time, then it's 69 action, he rims my ass, I rim his, he wants to suck my dick again, says he wants to fuck, but how? What position? He has me bend over the edge of the bed and enters me from behind doggie style. He's lubed up real good and enters me after much pressing and poking. I just like being close to the guy, he bites the back of my neck and roars like a lion while he dumps his load inside.
Two weeks later Robinson shows up at my front door. It's around 6pm on a Saturday. He says he just wanted to see how I was settling in and asks if he can come inside. Of course you can, we're friends! It's been a month since we first met. We see each other a lot at the gym. I can now bench 300 and my waist is down to 30". I owe so much to this guy even though he reminds me that I'm the one who's been putting in all the hard work. Robinson wants to tell me something. Or more specifically he wants to show me something. He asks if we can go to my home office computer and do a Google search. Not sure where this is going. My PC was already on so he launches a browser and heads towards Google. Then he's in the images tab and types nude male college studs. On the second page he shows me my pictures - nude of course and all over the internet for people to see. I'm thinking my life has just ended......
"It's ok Bob, believe me. I know what I am talking about. You have a great body and have nothing to be ashamed of. Lou knew about your pictures, I showed them to him earlier, that's why he went after you in the shower. He's a stallion and totally uncontrollable. You're ok now, he will leave you alone." Robinson then goes back to the computer for another Google search. This time the search string is nude male Jimmy Fanz. Who the fuck is Jimmy Fanz? Never heard of the guy. Is he a celebrity? Is he here in Fort Lauderdale? "Oh he's here in Fort Lauderdale, in fact you are looking at him." As Robinson says this, images of him appear on screen as Jimmy Fanz, in pretty much every possible perverted sexual scenario and position you can image. This is all very shocking!
We both stand up now and face each other. "My name is Rex Jared Robinson. I'm Jewish (Mom would be very pleased). I was very young and needed the money. Well maybe more than just money, it's a lifestyle. I've had sex with hundreds of men. But now I really need to do something with my life and have escaped from whatever past may have existed. I'm thinking of the present and that's where you come in." We kiss. It was both our idea and knew it was going to happen. I don't think I've ever been kissed by a man who had so much passion inside of him for me. "I'm in love with you Bob." We don't say much after this, we head towards the master bedroom, take off each other's clothes, and he stays the weekend. Sex with Robinson is magical, he gets me off four times during our session, I do the same for him, we fuck and look into each other's eyes as we orgasm inside each other.
Have things changed between Robinson and Bob, now that Bob knows about his past? What about Bob's past and the New York pictures?, they're still out there, to remain for a long time anyway. It's true, every so often when Robinson and I are together in public, strangers, typically men, will do a double-take when we are seen. But there's nothing to be ashamed of for having a great man body for the whole world to see. Robinson and I know the truth - we're now soulmates in love and that's all that matters.
