SPINOLA ICE CREAM ON THE BEACH In my early years, my family had lived in Lisbon, my father being some kind of diplomat there. So Portugal had a special place in my heart and I spoke the language like a native. Ever so often, I'd spend the summer in the Lisbon region, and this year I'd rented a small flat in a small town on the coast, south of Lisbon. To get to the beach, I needed only to cross two small roads, and I'd go every morning early. I found a collection of blue and white striped beach huts, and the proprietor at a stall, making coffee. I got a hut out in front, overlooking the beach and sea. She locked my valuables in a locker, and gave me a tag. I left my towel and clothes on a chair inside the hut, and had a good long swim. Back to the hut, I went inside and out of view, and changed into dry trunks. The wet trunks went onto the roof of the hut to dry, and I sat down in my deck chair outside. As the morning progressed, more people arrived, especially youth. Every day, in town and on the beach, I would see boys so stunning in features and grace they almost defied description. Tanned skin, shiny dark hair and eyebrows (often jet black), long eyelashes, brown gazelle eyes, and so full of their own beauty. Tight jeans would show off their luscious bums and the bulge in front carefully arranged as to be the most evident. On the beach, they were naked except for skintight swimming trunks of various designs. And none of the American girl's monopoly on skimpiness. No board shorts nonsense. Some boys wore small bikini type trunks, there was the occasional tanga, but mostly the traditional Speedo type trunks reaching to the hips, others reaching the waist; most with no legs, some with short legs. The phallus was carefully placed to one side, so one could savour its length and girth, and the two balls in their silken sac below. The fabric hugged the tight buttocks and was creased into the groove. The boys would every now and then adjust their bulge, even put their hand inside, and pull at the leg hole of their trunks, so innocently unselfconscious it was a perpetual delight. At about ten, as the sun was heating up, one such petit boy appeared. His skintight trunks were old, a dirty brownish green with darker stripes. He was svelte with boyish thighs that met only at his ankles. Shiny black hair reached his shoulders and was largely concealed by a worn baseball cap back to front. Long thick eyelashes that only boys have (and girls counterfeit with mascara), and gazelle eyes that gazed at you lazily. A snub nose with a gold stud in the crease, and a small mouth with full lips half-open, ready to smile with creases and flashing teeth. Little ears sticking out a bit with silver ear-rings and studs. A slight silver chain about his slender neck, with a cross of Portuguese filigree, and the standard bracelet about his wrist, with his name engraved. He was so luscious, I became timid and embarrassed, certain my desire was written all over my face. He carried a large red icebox over his naked shoulder, and asked me if I wanted an ice-cream. Of course I did, anything. Flavour? What the boy wishes. He smiled, and expertly he put one ball of vanilla and another ball of chocolate onto a small cone and handed it to me. I paid and asked him his name. It was Spinola, after the famous general of the Revolution of the Carnations. He grinned when I asked him his age. He had the body and size of a well-developed twelve year-old, but the tufts in his armpits and the generous bulge in his trunks suggested he was closer to adulthood. `I am fifteen, Sir. Soon sixteen.' And he gave me the date. He accepted a cigarette, held my hand as I proffered a light, and those gazelle eyes gazed at me as he inhaled. Could he see my desire? With smoke pouring out of his nose, he smiled and left. I watched those shapely buttocks rock as he walked. He didn't turn round and leer. Less than two hours later, he stopped by and told me he'd sold out. `The gentleman has brought me luck.' I offered him a cigarette and he sat on his icebox and we chatted. His aunt ran the beach huts, and she said I was LINDO, beautiful. I told him Portuguese women always fall for the blue eyes and blond hair. I wanted to tell him I'd always fall for the gazelle eyes and olive skin of Portuguese boys on the beach, and their narrow hips and snug buttocks; I wanted to ask him to marry me, but I kept quiet. Instead, I explained why I spoke such good Portuguese, and that I had rented a flat. When he'd finished his cigarette, he went off to refill his ice-box. He returned and insisted on giving me an ice-cream for free. Then he ran off again, and, oh, those buttocks. Later, he waved as he walked past in the distance, his lovely buttocks rocking. At lunch time, he walked past again and I beckoned him. Asked where I could get a prego, the Portuguese steak sandwich. He said he could get it for me, and that began a daily routine of his bringing me a steak sandwich and a ham sandwich and a beer for lunch. He refused a fee at first, but eventually agreed to buy two beers and take one for himself. Later he'd bring a coffee from his aunt's. Then he took to taking his nap on my spare deck chair. I'd sit and study him, falling in love. As with all beautiful boys, every part of him was beautiful, even down to his feet. He had to begin selling ice-cream again at three, so I'd stroke his cheek at 2:45. He grinned and thanked me politely. Stretched his lovely limbs and then went off, waving as he later passed in the distance. At five, he returned, saying the beach was emptying, and people usually didn't buy ice-cream at that time. I bought one more ice-cream, and he accepted a cigarette. He sat beside me, his thighs touching mine, and his hip. I was becoming intensely aware of his presence. It bothered me, because I was no longer free as before. One welcomes desire for such a lovely boy and one is strained, by the restraining of that desire. I barely knew him, but he was so friendly and natural with me, I felt as if he was an old chum. When he had finished his smoke, he left, having to clear up with his aunt. After about a week, however, he first asked me if I wanted to go for a swim. I nodded, and he got up and bent over to pick up his ice-box. His buttocks spread right there before me, beckoning, and his inner thighs, and I trembled. I needed merely to tilt my head to rub my face in his arse and kiss those thighs, but I looked up as he turned at the lazy long-lashed eyes and smiled, besotted. His tantalizing presence made it difficult for me not to blush, as I had the impression he could see right through me: `Yes, Sir, I know the gentleman wants me. I know the gentleman wants to make love to me.' He put his ice-box into the hut, and we ran down to the water and swam out to the diving platform. We climbed up onto the diving board and he wanted to sit on my shoulders. I kneeled and speechless felt his smooth thighs press against my jaws and his genitals press against my neck. His feet went under my arms and round the back, he adjusted himself, and then I stood up. I walked to the edge of the diving board, and then off into the water with my feet crossed. Down we went, down to the bottom, and he still held on. It was cold down there. I squatted on the sea bottom and pushed with my feet so we shot up again. We surfaced and I struggled to stay afloat with him on my shoulders. He slid down, his legs round my waist and his arms about my neck, laughing boyishly. `Again! Again!' And he clung on as I swam back to the platform, his genitals rubbing against my back. My trunks were shorts with inbuilt briefs, so one could not see that I now had a semi-erection, what with a beautiful boy rubbing his naked body against mine. Up we went again, and as he adjusted himself about my neck, I could feel that he too had a hard-on. Down we went again, and when we surfaced, he clung on, rubbing his hard-on against my back. Was it innocent or? A third time, and then a man and a woman had climbed up onto the platform. He swam up to me, flashing those gorgeous teeth. `I can't climb up again. I've got a hard-on.' `I know.' `How does the gentleman know?' `I could feel the boy's hard-on on my neck and on my back.' And he laughed. `Ooooh. Is the gentleman angry with me?' `No, my dear, I too have a hard-on.' `Because of me?' `The boy has given me a hard-on.' And he laughed mock disapproval. Perhaps he wasn't all that innocent. `What to do? I can't walk onto the beach like this.' And he looked down, and I saw he had pulled out his erection. I couldn't see it clearly, only that it was out. He grinned and began to masturbate. But after a while he said it was too cold. `You can sit on my shoulders as we get out of the water.' `Ok, ok.' And so we emerged onto the beach, he on my shoulders, with his erection pressing against my neck, and mine hidden in my shorts. I sat down on my deck chair and he climbed down and into the hut. I wanted to look but didn't want to. So I turned my back and began to dry off. `Look! Look!' and oh, so luscious, so ineffably luscious. Inside the hut, stark naked, his trunks in his hand, pale about the loins, and a fine phallus rising upright out of a patch of wavy pubes, and two even-sized testicles in a hairless sac. The foreskin covered the glans, and the phallus so hard, it curved inwards. I was enthralled. He pulled his trunks on again, tucking the front under his scrotum. Then with a saucy grin and lazy eyes gazing at me, he grasped his phallus in one hand and slowly pulled back the foreskin, to reveal a rosy glans, shiny and smooth like a delicate fruit or some exotic flower. I caught my breath. What to do? Get down and please him, just watch, turn away, say something, say what? He grinned. `LINDO?' I chuckled. `Very. Very.' Was he going to offer it to me? Would I accept? Smirking, he began to masturbate slowly. I grinned and turned away and sat down, heart fluttering. I heard him gasp and then again louder. He came out and sat beside me, grinning. I went to the beach every day, and every day, I'd buy his ice-cream, and he'd smoke and chat and bring lunch and coffee and take a nap, and every day, we'd swim together. But he never sat on my shoulders again, and never wanked in my hut again. One day, it rained, and I didn't go to the beach. But taking breakfast in my regular café, I saw him and waved, and he came up to my table. Blue Converse sneakers, tight jeans and a T-shirt and denim jacket, the crotch right in my face. Innocent or? The radio said it would rain all day, so he had a day off. I invited him to eat with me, and rejoiced in his vast appetite, and his attempts at grinning with his mouth full of food. Then another coffee and milk. He patted his stomach and grinned. `Thank you, Sir, that was excellent.' `A custard tart to finish off with?' He smiled and shook his head. `Sure?' He leaned over, his elbow on the table, and gazelle eyes smiled, OK. And I ordered two, and he gobbled them down. Then he sat smoking, all the time glancing at me, as I read the newspaper, all the time glancing at him. How sweet it was! Almost as if we were lovers, except that he'd point out girls to me. No lurid comment, just a raised eyebrow. What was I doing this morning? I was going to the market and then I was going to the cinema. Did he want to come? A sweet sweet smile nodded yes. And off we went. He was shy as he walked with gazelle grace beside me. But in the market, he did all the talking, making sure I got a good deal, and then we went back to my flat with all the goods. He explored the flat and then into the lavatory and pissed with the door open. Came out adjusting his fly and sat down at my desk. Picked up the framed picture of the Vietnamese boy who'd seduced me in Paris, studied it, and looked at me. `How old?' Nineteen. He looked much younger. Yes, The Vietnamese often do. Where was he? I didn't know anymore. His name? And I said his name. He looked very nice, very loving. He was. And Spinola put the picture back. He didn't want to go back to his aunt's. She was very good but she talked all the time. Sometimes it drove him mad. He could stay here. Yes, please. And he got up and sat on the sofa. Removed his shoes and lay down. I sat at the desk and we chatted. He lived with his mother in Lisbon, but she wanted him to spend the summer with his aunt. She was worried he'd get into trouble in Lisbon, and she was probably right. Here, he knew no one. No one to lead him astray. I put on fado music as we talked. He was very pleased and lay listening to it. Then he fell asleep. Goodness, how sweet he looked! I longed to kiss that pristine cheek. I worked, intoxicated with his presence. After a few hours, I made coffee and then stroked his cheek. He looked at me unknowing and then the smile. Stretched and accepted the coffee. `Hungry?' Yes. Again he pissed with the door open and again I resisted looking in. And we walked out to a restaurant and had lunch. I couldn't stop watching him eat. Is there anything sweeter than watching the one you adore eat the food you're giving him? He wanted to pay something but I refused. `The gentleman is too generous.' `It makes the gentleman happy. Don't stop his happiness.' And he chuckled. Did he think I was expecting sex in return? Maybe. Did he realize how I adored him much more now? It's not sex that makes us adore a boy, it's doing ordinary things with him, seeing him do ordinary things. After coffee and a smoke, we went for a walk. I pointed at a blue and white striped T-shirt in a fancy shop window. It would suit him very well. He stopped and we looked at the mannequin in the window. Royal blue cotton trousers. Yes, it was very nice. No, he couldn't accept it. But he shouldn't prevent my happiness, and we went inside. I told the shop keeper Spinola wanted the shirt and the trousers. Having accepted that I would give him the clothes, Spinola was obviously pleased as he tried on the trousers. His white underpants were no longer white, and were worn, so I got him a pair of white schoolboy briefs with a fly. He agreed to put on all his new clothes, grinning with sparkling eyes. How handsome he was! So different from the usual jeans and T-shirt. His old clothes went into a bag and we walked out. He glowing with pleasure, looking at himself reflected in the shop windows, his deportment more erect, more confident. And we went to the cinema. Grinning, he studied himself in the mirrored wall. His evident pleasure brought tears to my eyes. And we went in to watch a French film about the friendship between a Gentile and a Jewish boy in occupied France. Sitting in the dark with him beside me, his knee touching mine, and his occasional shifting in his seat, was another delight. When one witnesses the abnormally beautiful boy that one dotes on behave normally, one is ecstatic. When the boy in the film inadvertently betrayed his Jewish friend, Spinola touched my hand in protest. And he left his hand there for a while. I felt I'd faint with love. TIE THE CORD After our rainy day together, we not only chatted on the beach and went swimming together, frequently we spent the evenings together. Spinola was a bright and thoughtful boy, with a wicked sense of humour. He was obviously not gay, for he'd point out girls to me. I wanted to ask him why he didn't have a girlfriend but decided it was none of my business. One day, however, he told me he had a girlfriend in Lisbon. But no sex. Perhaps he was a cherry. I hugely enjoyed giving him presents, and he soon became quite comfortable with it, perhaps because I made a point of never touching him. Making a pass was something I would never do. On his sixteenth birthday, when he came round with his ice box in the morning, I gave him two wrapped and ribboned birthday presents. He blushed as he received them, standing like a gazelle with one leg lifted slightly. One box contained a heavy duty black Seiko watch with all the gadgetry, and he squealed with delight. His eyes shone as I fastened it round his wrist, and he again like a gazelle stepped about with pleasure. The waist-high scarlet trunks with a black waistband produced squeaks of approval, as he held them up before him. `The boy likes?' `I like, I like very much. Yes, I like the colour, Sir. Very good quality.' And he held them to his breast. `The gentleman is too kind.' `It pleases me...Please put them on.' `Now?' `Yes, please.' He went inside the hut out of sight. Then he appeared in the entrance, giving me a full frontal. He was holding the trunks in his hands, fiddling with the waist cord. `It has slipped inside.' I went inside and pulled him to the side, out of sight. `The boy will get me into trouble.' And saucily fluttering his eyebrows, he gave me the trunks to retrieve the cord, and I sat down on the chair. He stood stark naked before me, giving me an erection, and making it very difficult for me to concentrate. Leering, he pulled back his foreskin, showing me his rosy glans. Goodness, how naughty he was, and how I wanted to open my mouth and please him. Frantically, I fiddled with the cord, and there, it was out and I tied a knot. Still facing me, he put on the trunks, and stood gorgeous before me. Again leering, he carefully arranged his genitalia inside, pulling at the leg holes, and then came up to me, his crotch mere inches away from my mouth, and asked me to tie the waist cord. Oh my God, what was he up to? I smiled. `The boy can tie the cord himself.' He just stood there devastatingly lovely, and with gazelle eyes pleaded. `Please. Let the gentleman do it.' One cord was inside, which was a fine excuse for me to slip my hand inside and `accidentally' touch his private parts. Instead, I gingerly folded back the edge of the waistband and pulled the cord out. My hands touched his smooth and taut stomach and I was getting more aroused. His head was bent as he watched, and his hair touched my face. I could hear his breath, smell him, and knew his luscious lips were mere inches away. I was tempted to tuck the knotted cords into his trunks but let them remain hanging outside. I sat back, my phallus hard, and because I was sitting down, it was visible in my loose shorts. He glanced at me and grinned. `The gentleman has a hard-on.' I looked up at him and blushed. He moved closer and looked down at me with those lazy eyes, and smiled saucily. Gently, he touched my lips with the tips of two fingers, pushed them in between my lips. Still keeping contact with those gazelle eyes, I opened my mouth and he put his two fingers inside. I closed my mouth and sucked them. Quietly, I sucked on his fingers and he stroked my hair. Then he extracted his fingers, put his hand on the back of my head, and pulled it towards his phallus. This mere stripling was leading me. I could only follow and rubbed my face fervently against the bulge in his scarlet trunks. He undid the cord and pulled down the front of his trunks, releasing his swollen phallus and his scrotum. His phallus brushed against my face. I looked up and again he smiled saucily. He grasped his phallus and pulled back the foreskin, slowly. Mesmerized, I opened my mouth and he inserted his glans penis. And I sucked, in disbelief sliding my hands inside his trunks behind and caressing his bare buttocks, smooth, firm, and the skin so soft. I dared not rub his anus. My mouth engulfed two thirds of his phallus, and he sighed, his hand on the back of my head. Rapturous, I fellated him. Then I pulled away and looked up at him adoring. He smiled sweetly and guided my face back. I moved down and sucked his balls, and then up again and fellated him, panting through my nose. All the while, he was sighing lightly. Without increasing my speed, I sucked him till he moaned quietly and spurted into my hot mouth. I suckled as he spurted, and myself spurted in my trunks. And then he tittered: `No more! No more!' And I stopped. I gulped and looked up at him. He looked down at me tenderly and tousled my hair. As if I were the boy and he the man. Again I gulped. `I knew the gentleman wanted to make love to me. I knew it on the first day.' He stroked my head. `But I didn't know the gentleman.' And he grinned. `Now I know the gentleman. The gentleman is gracious and gallant, and I am dear to him.' And he kissed me on the forehead. What to do now? I pressed my face adoringly against his inner thigh, covering it with kisses. Then the other thigh and then up to suck his balls. He caressed my hair. Fervently, I kissed the silken skin around the base of his phallus. I wanted to suckle him again. And I did. He was still hard and gave a deep sigh when again I ran my open mouth down his phallus. It took a little longer this time, but soon he gasped and again I suckled his sperm. I squeezed out the last drops, sucked them up, and looked adoring at him. He smiled affectionately, stroking my cheek with his delicate hand, the heavy wrist watch on his wrist. `The gentleman loves me.' And he kissed the crown of my head. Then he picked up his trunks, shook them free of sand, and put them on. He arranged his half-swollen phallus and his balls, all the while grinning at me, and then he twirled round slowly, pulling at the leg holes at the back. The high waist stretched the material around his genitals and his buttocks, pulling both out a bit, making them more prominent. Was he flirting with me? `It is good? Does the gentleman think I am LINDO?' `The boy will have all the girls running after him.' He cocked an eye and winked, and I blushed. Did he know I wanted to say `all the boys running after him'? Then he grinned and kissed me on the cheek. `Thank you.' `Wait, wait, there's more.' I had had a waistcoat made for him, black with scarlet pockets. He put it on, and I told him to leave it open. `There are pockets inside for your money. See? With zips. And here a pocket for your cigarettes. And the shoulders have been padded with foam, to protect your pretty shoulders from the shoulder-strap.' He slipped on his waist coat and so sweet he looked. He grinned and then embraced me, and kissed me softly on the cheek, brushing back my hair. I wanted to snog him and run my hands down to caress his buttocks, rub his little anus, give him another blowjob, give him ten, but I just smiled. He ran off to look at himself in the mirror in the public bathroom. Then he returned with a huge grin and hugged me fiercely, his hair tickling my face. Then he had to go. Picked up his ice box and strode off. I sat down in my deck chair outside and watched him. His shapely buttocks rocking in his scarlet trunks, the slender thighs. I went inside and found his old trunks. I picked them up and pressed them to my face. He'd made the first move. He'd let me suck him off. Would things change? Would our sweet relationship now be strained? When he returned with sold out ice cream, he was very pleased and chatty. Several girls had told him he was very LINDO, and he'd had his photograph taken. People always took photographs of him but today many more than usual. Maybe his new trunks were good for business! And he laughed a boyish laugh, and I got tears in my eyes. He ran off and returned with an ice cream for me, and smoked as I ate it, all the time looking at his new watch, grinning at me. Then he went on his second round, waving as he passed by. Usually, he'd stop his peripatetic sales at five, and help his aunt pack up the site. They closed at six. Our routine had become that he'd come to my hut last, bringing coffee, and we'd sit and chat. Having finished my coffee and cigarette, I lay back, and today he straddled my chest. We looked at each other in silence and he grinned saucily, tracing my lips with the tips of two fingers. `Does the gentleman want to please me again?' `Not to please the boy, my dear, to please me. Me. It pleases me, my dear.' And he chuckled. `Does the gentleman want to please himself again?' `Three times in one day?' And he blushed as he stuck two fingers into my mouth. I sucked them and we both laughed. His phallus was visibly swollen now. I smiled. `If I do it here, the police will come.' So he climbed off and took my hand and rushed me inside. I sat on the chair and he stood right in front of me. `Your aunt?' She'd already gone. There was no one. So I undid the waist cord of his trunks, pulled them down as before, and dreamily I fellated him, fondling that bum. He sighed and stroked my hair and whined as he spurted into my mouth. I sucked him dry, he caressed my face, and then we rewound until I had tied the waist cord of his trunks again. And that became our new routine. Everything was as before, except that now he'd ask me if I wanted to please myself, on the beach or in my flat. Usually it was twice a day, sometimes three times. After a few days, I dared to rub his anus, and there was no protest. The next day, I swivelled him round and then rimmed him. Again no protest. `The gentleman wants to screw me?' `Yes, but I know the boy doesn't want me to, so I won't try.' `Does it hurt?' `Not if it one knows how to do it. Not if one does it with love.' And he bent over, to allow me to slaver over his arse, to cover those buttocks with kisses. After that first time, he'd himself turn round and offer me his arse. When he then turned round again, his anus would be slippery with my spit, and I'd rub it vigorously with my finger. I dared not slide in a finger, however. This new development added intimacy to our relationship beyond the sex. Spinola became cuddlesome and would sit on my lap with his arms about my neck and talk. There'd be the occasional kiss on the cheek but never on the mouth. After all, he wasn't gay, although now he'd point out pretty boys to me. `Over there, to the left, look, the boy with the tattoo.' And I'd look and nod. `The gentleman thinks he is LINDO?' And I'd always nod, for Spinola knew what I liked: petit and slender, mid- to late teens. `Like Spinola?' `Not like Spinola. None is so LINDO as Spinola'. And now he no longer blushed, instead he laughed. `The gentleman is in love.' AND THE GENTLEMAN? Considering this unexpected holiday romance, I extended my stay until it was time for him to return to Lisbon. And I told him so. `The gentleman is staying longer because of me?' And I nodded. He looked at me thoughtfully. I told him not to worry. I expected nothing more. I was very happy as it was. My gifts and extending my stay was to please myself; it was not blackmail. I did not have a long term strategy to get him to sleep with me. Spinola ran over and sat on my lap and hugged me. `I know, I know. It's just so unusual, that's all. Usually men are very friendly because they want to screw the boy. After a time, the boy relents because he feels obliged to. He wants to please the man who's been so kind. It's maybe not intentional blackmail but there is a pull, you understand?' I insisted no pull. He said it's the same with girls. All the boys tried it on their girlfriends. Did he? He grinned. He'd thought of it, but it was just too shameful. Now too, Spinola would often walk back to my flat with me, and then he'd bathe there instead of in the public shower on the beach. The first time he came with me, I insisted he bathe first, and when he was done, he came up to me in his white briefs, and wrist-watch. I told him he was LINDO, with his shiny damp hair and his limber body all brown. He smirked. `The gentleman likes me in just my underpants?' `And your wristwatch. Please don't get dressed. The boy is very lovely.' And playfully, he slapped my arm. But after that he'd strut about the flat in just his briefs. Sometimes, he'd strut around in just his wristwatch, but he said he'd too easily get an erection. I said I didn't mind, and again he laughed and slapped my arm. If it got chilly, he'd put on the big cherry jumper I had given him. And the sight of him in just white briefs, big jumper, and wristwatch, accentuating his boyish body, was even more titillating. A few times he was stark naked and only the big jumper and wristwatch, and I felt I'd faint. As he went about his business, I couldn't help glancing at him again and again, even gaping at him, and sometimes he'd smirk. `The gentleman likes?' And I'd smile and apologize. Sometimes he'd ask: `The gentleman wants to please himself?' And I'd just smile. And he'd come over with swollen crotch and rub my face in it. I'd fellate him, he'd turn round and stick out his bum so I could rim him, and then I'd suck him off, with a finger rubbing his anus. Sometimes I'd leave his underpants on and pull his phallus out through the fly, sometimes, I'd pull them down and he'd step out of them and be naked, bar the jumper. Sometimes, he'd come up from behind and poke my ear with his hard-on. And I'd turn my head with mouth open. One day, as we walked home in the dusk, he asked if he could take a tub bath instead of a shower. Of course. He'd never had a tub bath in his life. So I said I'd do it for him. I turned the water on and added bath salts. He came in stark naked, and I told him to test the water before climbing in. He said it was all right, but when he climbed in, it was too hot. And after a lot of adjustment, he finally lay fully immersed in foamy water. His pretty face smiling above the white foam was a treat. I told him to soak well, and then wash. And I added more hot water, because now it wasn't warm enough. I got up to leave and he said don't leave. `Please may the gentleman wash me,' and he blushed, `like a baby.' Like a baby? And he giggled. `To please me or to please the boy?' Again he giggled. Both. To please both. All right, but he should soak in the hot water for at least five minutes. And I went out and got things ready to make coffee. When I returned, his face was wet with sweat and he said he was melting. Did he like it? He wasn't sure. Was I going to wash him now? If he wanted me to. He did, please. He sat up and I applied shampoo to his hair and worked up a lather with my fingers. I told him my Vietnamese boy had had me wash him every day. He said my Vietnamese boy was very loving. `Mmmm, very nice.' He was smiling as I worked his beautiful hair, and soon I had a full-fledged hard-on. The lather flowed down over his delicate shoulders and his hairless chest. Afterwards, I took handsoap and washed his face and his little ears and his antelope neck and shoulders. Slowly. Then his delicate hands and boyish arms and armpits with their little tuft of black hair. Slowly. His feet and his calves and knees. Slowly. The rest of his body was under water. `Can the boy stand up? So I can wash the rest of the boy's body?' He glanced at me sideways. Then he grinned. `I have an erection.' `So do I.' He laughed boyishly. Supporting himself on the sides of the tub, he stood up ithyphallic. Even now, after I'd seen him naked so many times, I was enthralled at his lusciousness. And the way boys so often stand, with one leg pushed forward and the heel raised, just like a gazelle. I looked up at his grinning face. He winked and ruffled my hair. `Not now. May the gentleman first wash me, please.' And I began to wash his back and his front, and then his thighs. Slowly. And with throbbing heart and swelling crotch, I washed his arse, and then with both hands, his genitals. Slowly. When I pulled back his foreskin and rubbed soapy hands over his glans penis, he squirmed and giggled. Then I took the showerhead and rinsed him down. Down the white foam flowed, like sperm on his brown skin, and I felt I could barely restrain myself. When I rinsed his glans penis, he moaned dramatically. Then I spread his buttocks and sprayed his arse. `More, more, please.' He stuck out his buttocks and spread them wide, and I let the warm water play on his anus and his perinaeum, and the back of his scrotum, up and down. Still spraying his arse with warm water, I leaned round and fellated him. He puffed and panted and whined and ejaculated into my mouth, his wet hands clasping my head. Then he laughed naughtily, and ruffled my hair. `Very sexy, very sexy.' The next day, he took a shower as usual. I had my shower, and going into the bedroom to get dressed, I found him in bed, under the covers, smiling. I turned my back, removed my towel, and put on my underpants. He pulled down the sheet and revealed that he was naked and aroused. `May the gentleman please himself.' This was the first time in a bed. And I lingered as I sucked and licked and kissed his entire groin. He folded his legs round my neck, his feet resting on my back, his hands gently fingering my hair and ears. Then I pushed his knees back to his shoulders and he held them with his arms. And now I rimmed him hungrily. His sighs became moans and he rolled his head from side to side. And then I lowered his legs again, he folded them round my neck again, and I sucked him off. Holding my head in his hands, he squealed and filled my mouth with fresh boy sperm. Afterwards, we lay side by side, and he snuggled up against me, stroking my stomach. `And the gentleman?' `What?' `What about the gentleman's pleasure?' `It IS my pleasure.' `The gentleman doesn't come.' `Sometimes I come.' He sat up and studied the bulge in my underpants. `I never saw the gentleman come.' `When the boy comes, sometimes I come.' `Always?' `Sometimes.' `Today?' `Nearly.' `I want to masturbate the gentleman.' `No. The boy does not want to masturbate the gentleman.' `I do.' `The boy is not gay.' Spinola looked at me thoughtfully. Then he grinned and climbed over to kneel over my chest, his back to me, his lovely buns just before my face. And I felt him pull down my briefs. `No, Spinola, please. No need. It's not like that.' `I know, I know. The boy is pleasing himself.' And he grasped my phallus. It was semi-hard, but as soon as he touched it, it grew completely hard. `The gentleman's penis is very nice. Long and straight and smooth.' Gently, he pulled my foreskin and fondled my balls. And he began to wank me. I pulled him over so his bum was over my face, and then I rimmed him, hungrily as he wanked me. It was a matter of seconds before I groaned into his arse and ejaculated violently. I heard a splash. `Aaah! The gentleman hit me in the face!' And he giggled. `In the face!' And he turned round. `Look! The gentleman hit me in the face.' I couldn't see anything. He picked up the sheet and wiped his face, and giggled and giggled. He wiped my sperm from my stomach and his hand, pulled up my underpants, and then he turned round, still laughing. `The gentleman shoots like a gun. Poom!' And now I couldn't refrain from laughing. What a glorious boy! And he fell onto me, his face resting on my shoulder, the hair soft and ticklish. I dared to embrace him. And we lay there quietly, his phallus pressing against my hip. `I feel so safe with you.' And he looked at me, stroking my hair back. `The gentleman never wants anything from me.' `But I do. I want the boy's pleasure, I want the boy's smiles and laughter.' He shook his head. `That's not wanting for himself. The gentleman doesn't take anything, I give it. The gentleman never takes anything.' And he pressed his face into the hollow in my shoulder. `Girls always want something. They always want something. Have to control.' `It's their nature... but most men like it. They like handing over control to the woman.' `Why?' `They're besotted with their woman. They want peace and love, so they hand over control... A woman is very happy to make war in order to gain control.' `I want a girl like the gentleman.' `Not easy, Spinola. But if you're ready to fight a bit in the beginning, you can make it clear you will not hand over control. If the girl loves you, she'll stop. And whenever she tries, you stop her before she's begun. It's a rare girl who'll love you for what you are, and doesn't want to change you.' And we lay there like lovers, which we were in a way and weren't in a way. Spinola fell asleep and I lay in ecstasy with his warm boyish body draped naked over me, my hands fingering his lovely hair. It was pitch dark when I woke up, and he lay beside me, his head on my arm, a leg entwined with mine. I listened to his breath. What would I do when it was time to leave? This was not my first holiday romance. Romantic interludes, so sweet they were barely to be believed, but I was beginning to believe it was precisely because they were short that they were sweet. The first time, with the Vietnamese boy, it had been an impossible situation, and I had wept a rain of sorrows, and ached for years. Since then, I had accepted the impossible situation, and stopped seeking romance. But occasionally it would come uninvited. I'd weep, but I didn't ache for very long when it was over, although I always felt empty and deprived. I very carefully disengaged myself and got up to piss, and when I returned, Spinola was awake. His head buried in the pillow, one eye looking at me, the crease of his smile. I sat on the bed. `Hungry?' And he nodded. He was shy. After all, he'd just slept with me, and had given me a handjob. Something of a development. Maybe he felt out of his depth. So I behaved as if it had never happened. We got dressed and went out for dinner. Then coffee in a pavement café and then again a French film. This time the love affair between a middle aged man and a prostitute. Halfway into the film, Spinola took my hand and held it, rubbing with his thumb. I didn't look at him and didn't get aroused, just infatuated. NO, SPINOLA His departure back to Lisbon was a week away. As always, he'd gone back with me to bathe in my flat, and then I'd bathe. (There was never a repeat of my washing him.) Sometimes, he'd wait for me in bed, sometimes not. Today, he didn't. I got dressed and walked into the kitchen. He was preparing dinner. He was a very good cook and today it was traditional Portuguese boiled cod with all the trimmings, one of my favourites. There was chocolate mousse from his aunt, and he'd nicked a bottle of wine in the supermarket. (He said `You don't live in the streets of Lisbon without learning some tricks.' And he'd nick treats every now and then.) Candles on the table and fados in the background. Just like lovers. He wouldn't let me do anything. As always, he was in a state of undress (for the gentleman's pleasure), wearing only white briefs (I had bought him six pairs) and a new jumper I'd bought for him, with broad blue and green stripes. In the kitchen, he wore the apron, but when he brought in the wine, he'd removed it and stood before me, gorgeous with schoolboy briefs and bare thighs. `The gentleman likes?' I bit my lip and tears rushed to my eyes. I couldn't speak. He put the bottle on the table and sat on my lap and embraced me, kissed my forehead and brushed back my hair. And I began to weep. And he kissed my tears away. I embraced this darling boy and we sat quietly as the woman sang plaintively. Typically, he didn't say anything stupid, just kept sympathetically quiet. Again and again I stopped, and again and again I started again. At last I stopped starting and stroked his pretty face. `The food will get cold.' He kissed my cheek and jumped up and ran into the kitchen. After a while he brought in the dishes and we had a prolonged and jolly meal. As always, he made me giggle, and as so many times before, I had to leave the room so as not to be sick with laughter. And then he cleared the table and we had coffee. He'd nicked a box of cigars for us a while back, and we puffed over coffee and Portuguese brandy. He snuggled up against me, his bare knees pressed against my thighs. And I told him about my first love, a boy in school. He told me he had no such experience, although he did have a best friend. They had wanked together a few times, but that was all. He'd never done anything with anyone. I was the first? Yes. Nice girls only kissed. Sex was after marriage. Then how did he know I wanted to make love to him? I wasn't the first who wanted to. Several men had fondled him. A German even stuck his hand inside his trunks. Did the boy get angry? No, it wasn't nasty, just playful. And the man said he'd pay if he could give the boy a blowjob. Did the boy accept? Spinola laughed. There was something about the man he didn't like. As if the boy was only as a sex object. The shoeshine boys in Lisbon had many tales. Some made more as rent boys. Some were looking for a good man to adopt them. They said the Portuguese were often nasty. They'd make love to a boy and then feel bad about it, and take it out on the boy. Sometimes, they didn't even pay up. The English were the nicest, and many Germans. The biggest problem was neighbours and hotel staff. Most Portuguese were very homophobic, especially the women. Then why wasn't he? Spinola smiled. He had been like everyone else. But two years ago, when they were drunk, his dearest friend slipped his hand into Spinola's trousers. Spinola protested, and got his friend to confess to being homosexual, to having been in love with Spinola since they were young boys. It was his dear friend, so he wasn't angry, but he had to choose. Give up your dear friend or give up your homophobia, and he decided to keep his friend, although he said `No sex'. And in a way their friendship deepened. He became his friend's confessor in a way. His friend told him everything, and he realized how difficult it was to be gay in Portugal. And he developed sympathy for gays. He never heard of a boy being raped but girls were being raped, and when men made advances to him, it was always good natured. So he realized homosexuals were not the monsters they were made out to be. He'd heard how boys would talk about girls and it certainly wasn't pretty or respectful, and he knew how they'd try to force themselves on a girl in a way no man had ever tried to force himself on him. I said Spinola was very thoughtful. He laughed. He hated being at home, having to listen to his mother all the time, so he'd go about by himself a lot, and he'd read in his room, rather than watch TV with his Mom. He loved her, but she was like her sister, rattling on forever. The gentleman listened, his mother and aunt listened only to themselves. His girlfriend? She listened too. She adored him. Almost too much. He was afraid he dominated her. And Spinola got up and went into the bedroom. Came back with a photograph. A very pretty girl with light brown pageboy hair and fair skin, her arm about his waist. They looked lovely and innocent. I told him. He blushed. He didn't know whether they'd get married. It seemed so far off, and her love was so intense, he felt she might run out of steam. And Spinola talked about himself as he'd never talked before. I was quite sick with love for this boy with his slender thighs and pert bum in his white briefs. We turned the lights out and sat on the balcony in the dark, so no one could see us. He sat sideways on my lap and put my arm round his waist, and we smoked and drank brandy. He asked me about the Vietnamese boy. And I told him how I'd seen him in an outdoor café, looking like a young school boy, with cute tortoiseshell glasses, and his black hair parted at the side, with a big lock covering one eye; a tight rosy T-shirt, tiny light blue shorts with baggy legs, and what had really charmed me, rosy socks and black leather sandals, and even a school bag. I'd caught his doe eyes gazing at me, and we'd both smiled. Then we kept glancing at each other across the tables and smiling. He spread his toffee-coloured thighs and slipped a hand surreptitiously down inside the leg of his shorts, his mouth half-open. We both grinned and then he called for his bill, and looking at me, he rubbed his half-open lips with a finger. He got up to go, all the time glancing at me, saucily adjusting the legs of his tiny shorts. He walked off, looking back over his shoulder again and again, stroking his pert little bum with a hand, and I followed like a dog, with my tongue hanging out. I'd never done this sort of thing in my life, but then again, no such voluptuous lad had ever come on to me so. He glanced back with a grin as he turned off into a park and sat down on the grass under a tree. I followed and sat down. His thighs were spread wide, with one leg pulled up, allowing me to look into the leg of his shorts, where I could see his little phallus straining inside a yellow thong, a bare toffee-coloured buttock, and almost his anus. He was an unbelievable twenty years old, only four years younger than I, and on a two-year visit to the Sorbonne, studying engineering. Soon we were in a taxi on our way to his digs. Into his little room, he pushed me down onto his little bed, and jumped on me, one hand wriggling into my trousers. We made passionate love all afternoon, broken by coffee breaks and cigarettes, and snoozing and spooning. He was infatuated with my hair, so blond and soft, he said, and my eyes like the clear blue sky. I in turn was infatuated with his thick black hair, his smooth toffee-coloured skin, and long-lashed gazelle eyes. Like an elf from a book of fairytales. When I brought him to my little hotel, I didn't really know what might happen. The proprietor asked me if I wanted the boy to stay with me, and blushing I said yes. He turned and called into the next room. Out came a younger man, and with a smile the proprietor told him I had found a pretty boy in the streets of Paris. `Isn't he pretty?' And everyone beamed. They said they needed to check his ID card, and then both smiled and said how enchanting we looked together. And very friendly they were after that, always telling us how enchanting we looked. There was no charge for the extra occupant of my big bed, although the breakfast now had two cups and more croissants. Sometimes I insisted we stay in his little room. His little bed with two huge teddy bears; the Japanese comics with inconceivably angelic boys making love; his array of vibrators, dildoes, and butt plugs of various colours; on his walls posters of boy bands; his collection of tiny shorts and thongs and g-strings; and the tiny fridge-freezer that contained nothing except ice-cream and fancy cakes, made it his fantastic domain entirely, and I felt privileged and thrilled to enter it. This was my first romance with a boy, and ineffably sweet. So I extended my stay in Paris till the beginning of term. But it was doomed. He had to go back to Vietnam when the year was out, he had to get married, and with his Vietnamese passport, there was just no changing things. For Christmas and Easter, he visited me in London, and again and again I visited him in Paris. But eventually we had to end it. We were both deeply in love, and many were the tears as we parted. He said I could never visit him in Vietnam, it was simply too dangerous, if his parents found out. He had to get married, and after his first son was born, his lovesick letters became less so, and after his second son was born, I heard no more. Spinola's head was resting on my shoulder. `It's a very sweet and very sad story.' I said I knew it was. `Has the gentleman ever found another boy like that?' No, never. It was inconceivable. One could not repeat such a thing. A couple of times I had encountered charming boys on my travels who had befriended me, two of them had turned into romance, but again, they were doomed. `Am I one of those charming boys?' I chuckled and said in a way yes, although we weren't really lovers. There was a lull in our conversation and Spinola sighed, pressing his head against my neck. There was the sound of traffic and the smell of the sea. He took my hand quietly and placed it on his crotch, and I fondled the bulge. As I grew hard so did he grow hard, and then he pulled down the front of his underpants, and I fondled his bare genitals. There was pre-cum on the glans and I rubbed it round, and he giggled. And then I wanked him gently. He tucked up his jumper so his stomach was bare and then very quietly he ejaculated, mostly onto my hand. I squeezed out the last drops onto my fingers and then licked myself clean. Scooped up the gobs from his stomach with my fingers and sucked them clean. He let down his jumper, I pulled up his briefs, and then we just sat quietly. `I'll miss the gentleman.' I stroked his head. There was still a week to go. Yes, but it would pass quickly. He kissed my cheek and giggled. Who would toss him off? Giggle. Suck him off? And he sighed. Who would love him and listen to him? His girlfriend. No, it wasn't the same. He got up and went out to piss and returned. Sat on my knee facing me and put his hand on my crotch. I couldn't see his face. `The gentleman has a hard-on.' Of course, I'd just wanked a pretty boy on my lap. He unzipped my fly and pulled out my phallus. I no longer objected. And he rubbed the pre-cum round my glans. `That's my trick!' And he giggled and squeezed out more and rubbed it round till I wriggled. I saw a movement and felt his soft warm mouth envelop my glans. I gasped with pleasure and then pulled his head away. `No, my dear, please!' His dark outline brushed his hair away. Why not? I didn't know. He wanted to. No, my sweet, please no. And he rubbed my glans with his thumb. `I want to. I want to please you.' No, it didn't please me. And he began to wank me. `Can I do this?' Yes, that was OK, nothing else. And he leaned his head against my shoulder and wanked me off. I ejaculated onto the parapet of the balcony and he laughed boyishly. `Poom!' I gave him my hanky and he wiped his hand clean, and I tucked my phallus back in and zipped up. `It's so big.' `Not very. The boy's may grow bigger.' But he was petit. Ah, I'd seen petit young men with large phalli. `The Vietnamese boy?' No. His was smaller than Spinola's. `Did the gentleman ever screw him?' He'd never asked me such a question. Maybe it was the brandy and our sitting in the dark. `Many times. He was keen on being screwed.' `Keen?' Yes. He liked impaling himself. And he'd be completely hard as he slid up and down. Sometimes he'd come. He was older than Spinola but more petit. I had always marvelled at how my big phallus so easily slid into his tight little arse. And it kept on being tight. `Does the gentleman think I would like being screwed?' And I laughed. `The boy has had too much brandy.' And he giggled. Why so? And he clasped me about the neck and we both giggled. The next day, on the beach, he told me he had a hangover. In the quiet hour after lunch, we went for a swim and then into my hut for a session. He pulled off his scarlet trunks and I fellated him. Then he turned round, parted his buttocks, and I rimmed him. `Does the gentleman want to screw me?' I raised my face from between his buttocks. `No, my dear, thank you.' Given other circumstances, screwing him could have been a passionate consummation; given these circumstances, it would be more like a violation. `To please me. I want to try. Like the Vietnamese boy.' To shut him up, I twirled him round and fellated him. He grasped my head and moaning spurted into my slurping mouth. After he'd put on his trunks, he slipped his hand inside my trunks. But I told him to go and get his ice-cream ready. He smiled. `Is the gentleman angry with me?' `My dear Spinola, I think it is impossible for me to get angry with you.' `Then why must I go?' `Because I love you.' And he sat on my lap and hugged me hard. `Please may the gentleman forgive me.' And again I wept in his arms. He slipped his hand inside my shorts and fondled my swollen phallus. That stopped my tears, and I nuzzled my face in his hair. Then he kneeled beside me and extricated my swollen phallus from my shorts and wanked me, one arm round my neck. I shot onto the striped canvas of the hut. `Poom! And he grinned, wiping his hand on the canvas. I tucked my phallus back in, and he sat on my lap in silence, with his head resting on my shoulder. I dared not speak and we sat for about ten minutes. Then he looked at me with tender eyes and said he wanted to sleep a bit. And we lay down on our separate deck chairs. He slept, I watched, full of admiration. The following Easter, I paid for him to visit me at home, and spent a glorious ten days, overjoyed at his enthusiasm and interest, and above all his tenderness towards me. On the first night, he slipped into my bed and `May the gentleman please himself.' As he had told me in his letters, he had had no `intimacies' with anyone since our summer of love. He had thought of his best friend, but he had found a boyfriend. I fellated Spinola till he ejaculated copiously into my mouth, wailing almost with desire. He squatted over my face so I could rim him, and wanked me. `Poom!' But against his cheerful protests, I forbad anything further. Then again I fellated him, and we lay and snuggled. For the whole visit, he slept naked in my bed, snuggled up against me, and as before, he strutted about the flat in white underpants, a jumper, and his wrist-watch. `The gentleman likes?' and frequently `The gentleman wants to please himself?' rubbing my face in his swollen crotch. The next summer I again went to Portugal and again he worked at his aunt's, turning seventeen, and again we had sweet times together. But returning to Lisbon, his interest became a new girl, and as is inevitably the case, our association declined to birthday and Christmas letters. I received a wedding invite two years later, but declined, although I sent them a set of exquisite Italian espresso cups with sugar bowl and silver spoons. A year later came the baby picture, and he wrote that he now realized why I had refused `increased intimacies', and he thanked me for my `delicacy'. Ever thoughtful, ever the gentleman, my Portuguese boy.
