This is the only platform that I can tell this true encounter. Also thanks to those that corresponded with me to provide the necessary encouragement to do this. I couldn't of done it without you guys. Obviously this is for those that are 18 and over. If you don't care for the subject material that's a "you" problem. If you'd like to drop me a line you can reach me at: afoolishringmaster@aol.com "The kid and the Suit Maker" By HJK_IV Yes this is a true encounter. This happened around 1981 - 1982. I was 10 years old at the time. I do not condone Adult/Child relationships. However what happened did happen and I was more or less the instigator and the Suit Maker complied. These were the times when the first public commercials telling kids to report pedophiles and sexual abusers to the police ("Stranger Danger" and "Don't touch where the bathing suit covers" were the two most common themes). Now I will tell you that there were worse "predators" in the mall than the Suit Maker was alleged to be an I will get to this as well. Also my Grandfather "fancied" me. TV programs that catered to kids had their own "sexual predator " episodes that were stupid, vapid and had no value to a mall rat like me. So without further ado... My father just finished with the Army and we were moving back to my parents hometown. I was looking forward to no longer melting in the Georgia sun and humidity. My father was working full time and going to school to be a HVAC guy. My mother just picked up a job at an optometrist's store in the mall. She'd always worked 12 hours on a Saturday and 7 hours on a Sunday and whatever shifts she could pick up during the week. My parents were alcoholics and fought and bickered all the time. When I wasn't in the mall I normally grabbed my bike and did my own thing as long as I got back by 6pm for dinner or I got nothing. I kinda marched to the beat of my own drum. So any day my older brother and I had to kill time at the mall so we weren't under my mother's foot, we were given $5 each to stretch the day. We'd have lunch with my mother either at Friendly's or grabbed some pizza. These were the days that Arcades were far superior than the home systems. Being a lefty was the first time I didn't feel dominated in a right handed world. And that allowed me to be one of the best video game/ pinball players in town. But alas you only have so many quarters and too much time to kill. My brother and I never got along so we would always go our separate ways. Now since the Arcade Manager knew I wasn't a troublemaker but had the haunt the mall til closing, he took me under his wing. He didn't give me free games or anything, but he'd teach me repairs 101. I'd strip and re-wax pinball machines for fair play, adjust the tilt meters so no one would damage them. Fix coin mechanisms so no coins got jammed and help move around the cabinets to provide a new look. It was one of these mornings that we would chat. "Hey kid, can we talk about something important?" "Sure man. What's up?" I asked. "I know you don't hang out all day and night and probably wander in and out of the stores. But there are men and workers that might fancy you in a bad way." "I'm not sure what you mean?" I said. "Promise me you stay away from the two high end salons. Those gay men have a bad habit of offering drugs or lacing the water with a sedative to entice young lads like you." "Okay sure. But why haven't they been arrested or kicked out of the mall?" I asked. "The current laws on the books doesn't give a lot of credence for children reporting on adults. If you avoid them, then there's no worries." he answered. The conversation died, the arcade was getting fuller and I wanted to conserve my money for the afternoon and evening time. I wandered over to Sears. There were a couple of men and women whom if they ever saw me would wave and if they weren't too busy with customers I'd chat with them. I've been taught from an early age to respect my elders and the dialogue was more riveting than kids my age. But they were busy so I left. I walked into the Suit Maker's shop. This gentleman dressed like a dandy every time I saw him. I think the name of the store was like "Foxx's Suit Emporium". The storefront had two golden foxes dressed in a red suit, top hat and sporting a diamond tip cane. It had a European feel to the place. No way in hades that I could afford his fine wares. However he made kid suits by hand. So the boy mannequins stood out to my mind. He was an older gent, in his 60's. He was a pipe smoker and a chain smoker by the yellowed teeth when he smiled. Most of the time it was just a "hello" and really no small talk. I never dallied there long. I'd check out the handkerchiefs and accessories but there was always a certain magnetism to the place compared to the other stores in the mall. Sometimes I would kill time at Radio Shack. They had an Atari and Intellivision hooked up so you could play games until you were shooed out of the store. Waldenbooks was more or less my personal library and the female store manager knew my mother well so as long as I behaved she didn't mind me around. I was kind of her adopted grandson. She loved spoiling me with chocolate and candy. The two salons were upscale and located upstairs next to Macy's. Macy's employees didn't want me hanging around at all so I was normally nowhere near that section of the mall. The challenge was going to the bathroom. I was only allowed to use the two public restrooms and was "pee-shy" big time. These were the only times I ever encounter the "salon people". And my ears would prick and my face would reddened when they would describe me as "delicious". This 4' 10" stick figure of a kid with jet black with all leg and no ass would try to escape as soon as possible so nothing further would happen. Fast forward to Thanksgiving break. My mother got an offer to work overtime on Black Friday. The arcade was jammed packed so I avoided that. Almost all my hangouts were overfilled with Christmas shoppers so I wandered back into the Suit Maker's shop which was rather quiet. It seemed odd, however his high-end wares must of covered the rent so I poked my head in. "Well hello my fine young chap. How are you today?" This was the most words he ever spoken to me. I was frozen like a deer in the headlights stunned. "Cat got your tongue laddie?" He asked. "Oh sorry, mister. It's just so packed in the other stores and I've always found your stuff so cool. But no way my parents can afford it." I answered rather meekly. "I promise that I won't touch or damage your fine suits." He chuckles. "I know you're a good kid. Would you be interested it trying on a boy's suit and accessories to see how it looks on you?" "I should probably ask my mom first. She works just a couple of stores down from you at the optometrist's shop." I squeaked. "Then do so. It wouldn't be right without your parent's permission." He replied. So I left the store and my mom was knee deep in customers. I knew if I'd ask she'd say "no" and the arcade manager was too busy with kids being dumped off so mommy and daddy can shop. He didn't mention this gentleman and there was really nowhere else to go. I played a game of pinball and after 20 minutes I clicked in my initials for a top score. I headed back to the shop. He was packing a gentleman's suit. The assistant whom I've never seen before had this look like I didn't belong. I was about to turn and leave when the dapper gent said to the assistant, "Leave the boy be, he's here on appointment." I waited patiently for the transaction to finish and the Suit Maker motioned me towards the back of the store. I walked by the private sizing rooms and entered the back room which was his workstation. His latest works of kid suits were in various stages of completion. I will admit the hairs on the back of the neck rose and I was wondering what I got myself into. "So did you get your mother's permission?" "Uh no. She's so busy and the arcade manager never thought you were a danger like others in the mall." I answered. "Well my boy. You're the same height and waistline as my boy mannequins. I'd just finished a suit. Would you like to try it on for me?" "OK. But I know nothing about suits. I only get blazers and slacks from Sears. You know the `Whinnie the Pooh' collection?" He laughed. "I understand son. How about you strip off your sweatshirt, shirt and jeans and try this on for me please?" "In front of you?" My voice went up an octave and my mind was telling me to run away. "No my lad, use the changing room. The one closest to the workshop. I'll get you a proper t-shirt and I'll get you some dress socks and shoes as well." He said. So I went through the curtain. He tapped on the outside wood panel and handed me my new kit with this hunter green jacket and slacks. The t-shirt came with this off-white dress shirt. The tie and socks were like a burgundy color. I stripped down to my tightly-whitties and looked at myself in the mirror. I was a wiry kid who couldn't put on any muscle definition at all. I was hyper metabolic, so no matter how much or how little I ate, I couldn't put a pound on me to save my life. I still haven't reached "puberty " (it didn't happen until I was 13) and my 3" cut cock was trying to escape from my fly. I put on the silky socks first, and then the undershirt which made my nipples erect. Then the dress shirt, slacks, and jacket. The slacks were a little loose. But gazing in the mirror it was like I was a different person. I felt "royal" like the foxes out front. I peeked out and said I was ready. "You look magnificent!" He beamed. "Uh, I don't know how to tie a tie and the slacks are a bit loose. Plus I need the shoes please?" So we went back to the workstation. He does belts the old fashioned way by tape measuring my waist. Which of course that meant brushing against my boner. I didn't think he was coping a feel. Just the normal course of the work. I put on the belt and the tan color made me look sharp. He then produced three pairs of tan shoes for me to try on. Sadly my small fat feet weren't a fit so we abandoned that part of the equation. As for the tie, he stood up and got behind me and tied a Windsor knot. I could feel his warm breath giving me the tingles all over my body. "You look amazing my boy! Way better than my displays." The tone of his voice felt genuine. "Dare I ask how much this would cost?" "$450 my boy." "No way I could afford it mister." "Relax my boy. How about we make a deal?" "Ok?" "If you let me take photos of you, I want to display them out front to entice more customers. I'm willing to pay you $10 per display. And after a year I will hand make you a suit for free." Now I'm in a moral quandary. I didn't get permission; my mom would freak out, let alone ground me. I couldn't think it through. So I replied, "Can my mother and I stop over after the mall closes? I think I can trust you, but I really need her permission." "Of course, as it should be." I undressed and got back into my regular clothes. I hung out at the arcade and played video games until 15 minutes til closing. When I went to the optometrist's shop my brother was already there and looked "different". His eyes were glazed over and he reeked of something I'd come to know later was pot. So I had no choice but to ask my mother in front of him. "Mom?" "Yes son?" "You know the Suit Maker two doors down?" She nodded in the affirmative, "Well he was wondering if I could try on some boy's suits and he takes photos of me for his displays. He wants to pay me $10 per display and after a year he would give me a handmade suit for free." The look on her face told me that I had no shot. But luckily my brother was in deep trouble. So after thinking it over she replied, "Ok, if he's still there I'll talk to him alone. I won't promise you anything, but if he respects you that much, I'll allow it." She closes the front gate. My brother and I were starting shit as usual. But he seems odder than normal. After ten minutes she raises the gate and we head out to the car. "I will let you do this. But I want to be there for the first photo shoot just to make sure nothing funny goes on. Whose idea was it? Yours or his?" "It was him mom. There's no way we could afford that type of clothing." "Well next weekend I'll be accompanying you during lunch. If it's as both of you say, I'll allow it. Make sure your father doesn't know." "But how do I explain the new suit?" "We'll cross that bridge when we get there." It was the longest week ever. I hate school. I hate being forced to sit down at 45 minute intervals. But if I misbehaved I have no shot of doing this. Saturday finally comes around. I spent the first hour working with the arcade manager doing normal routine stuff. My brother's punishment was to work with my dad on service calls. So when noontime hit, my mother and I went to the shop. The assistant ushered us to the back room. The dandy greeted us and had the suit ready for a fitting. He handed my mother a $10 bill and had me go to the changing room sans tie and had the right size shoes for me. I changed into the suit and looked at myself in the mirror and stepped out. "Honey! You look stunning! You do amazing work sir." My mother beamed. "So is it ok ma'am?" The Suit Maker asks. "Well as for the money it will be two fives. That way half of it goes to his savings account. I trust you not to harm him or make him feel uncomfortable. And when next Black Friday comes, I expect your best work for him." "Well boy? Do we three have a deal?" "Yes sir. You're the boss." I said and they laughed. So two weeks before Christmas the first photo of me was on display. It did bring in more onlookers but it didn't exactly bring in more sales. During my Christmas break we did two more photo sessions without my mother present. I was spending more and more time with him chatting on little things. He was also teaching me style and etiquette. He said he was from Los Angeles originally but came to live and run his shop in NY because it was cheaper. I was more comfortable undressing right in front of him. What also helped was that there was a buzzer at the register to let the Suit Maker know that someone was coming back there. All he had to do was shut the back room door for privacy and I wouldn't be exposed. Things changed on the fourth photo shoot. Prior to visiting the shop, I found my brother hanging out at the salons more often. He was getting stoned more and more often. He wanted to introduce me to his "uncles". I pulled him out of the store and warned him like the arcade manager told me. I was rewarded with a punch in the gut and he went back into the salon. I told my mother what happened and she told her boss that she was done for the day. She told me that she would fetch me in a couple of hours. She knew the Suit Maker's phone number and told me to stay there until I heard from her. I guess she grabbed my brother with a strength a mother would only have. I walked into the Suit Maker's shop white faced. He asks me what's wrong and I told him. The phone rang and he spoke to my mother briefly. He then tells the assistant mind the store until the situation was resolved. We both came into the back room. I further explained what happened. "What do you know about sex, son?" He asked "Nothing other than the movies on HBO. Sex Ed doesn't happen til 6th grade. What's going on?" "Well you know your father and mother had sex to create you and your brother?" I nodded. "There's another form of sex called homosexuality which is between two men. Usually they are referred as `gays or fags' which is still considered illegal in most states. Even worse there are some men whether they are straight or gay called `pedophiles'. And it's wrong and a horrific thing to do with boys" he said. It took me a few minutes for it to sink in. "So are they all pedo's in the salon?" I asked. "Probably not my son. But listening to the arcade manager kept you out of harm's way unlike your brother." "So what's gonna happen?" "I don't know. It's up to your parents." Two days later the police raided the salon. It turns out there was 2 pounds of weed and 4 bottles of prescription sedatives. My brother wouldn't testify so the molestation charges were dropped but the two men faced hard time with drug possession and attempted sales. The Rockefeller drug laws were swift and severe. My brother wasn't allowed in the mall unsupervised ever again. I was still allowed when my mother worked. The arcade manager got promoted and the new guy wasn't as friendly so I only played games. With Spring and Summer I was playing baseball and was spending more time at my grandparent's house. I didn't pop back in the mall until I turned 11. On my birthday my grandfather had sex with me (this will be a separate series cause you know it's a tad bit complicated). I had my first dry orgasm, blow job, and learned how to French kiss. Also there were a couple of girls that were infatuated and I was feeling uncomfortable from both sides of the aisle. Around Halloween the Suit Maker got permission from my mother to spend the weekend on an outdoor photo shoot. The Suit Maker had a house on the other side of town. His house was on five acres and cannot be seen from the main drag. It was a typical farm house from a time long forgotten. When I went inside I marveled at the neat antiques that was all over the place. He had a wall of male models from ages 6 to 60 in various poses and states of undress. I asked him if he could teach me photography. He said maybe one day but we have more important work to do. I was a year older, and now 5'3" and 100lbs soak and wet. My cock grew an inch and was a little thicker. Since it was fall he picked out two corduroy suits and appropriate gear. He had me leaning against the house and took photos of me. I was in various poses that satisfied his "camera eye". He would compliment on how malleable I was. Once the sun started to set, I was feeling sexually charged by older men. And I was lusting for the Suit Maker more than my Grandfather. I also noticed he was getting hard during the photo shoot. "Um sir? May I ask you a question?" "Yes my boy. You may ask?" "Are you gay?" "I was wondering when you'd ask that question since the recent events that have transpired. I was married for 25 years and have kids and grandkids. When my wife died, I found men that put the starch back in my stockings. The assistant and I have been lovers over the last two years." He replied. "Well sir. Don't be mad at me but I kind of fancy you as well." His face went ashen. I thought I literally killed him on the spot. But he then regained his composure. "Why would you lust for an old man like me?" I proceeded to tell him what has transpired between my grandfather and I. I also told him that my parents drink all the time and my grandparent's house is only where I find peace, love and affection. I also told him about the two girls that have a crush on me and I felt the same way. The girls and I only kissed and nothing further has happened for fear of being castrated by their parents respectfully. I told him I didn't "feel gay" but the strength, warmth and passion my grandfather provided is the same way I felt about him. "Son. We can't do this. It's morally wrong. I'd betray your mother's trust and I could land in jail." He said. But his cock said differently. "Is your boyfriend closing the store tonight?" "Yes" "I want to kiss you and snuggle you. We don't need our cocks involved. I'm so confused and lonely. There's no one I can talk to about this. Even more, how am I to display proper affection to the men I adore?" We stood silently for a good ten minutes. He then made up his mind. He led me to the bathroom and started the shower. Once the temperature was right we both stripped in front of each other. He's 5'9" with salt and pepper hair, pits, chest, and crotch. His cock was ginormous to an 11 year old. Could of been 9" for all I know. It was hard and had a bulbous mushroom head on top. He was leaking pre-cum already. He led me in first. He grabs a washcloth and soaps my neck to my crotch. At my cock he made circular motions with the washcloth and I was moaning and groaning to the attention I've never felt before. He then soaps my back, legs and ass. Once he rinsed me off, we tongue kissed and I was in total bliss. I took the washcloth and did the same thing to him except when I rinsed his cock I started to suck on it for a couple of minutes. He was holding on to the shower rod and moaning his appreciation of my efforts. I started to clean his back and ass. I noticed how loose he was at the rosebud. After toweling each other off. He leads me to the bedroom. I push him down and he was propped up at the headboard. I ran my tongue on his nipples while he was lightly tracing circles on the small of my back. I then I took as much as I could of his 9" sea monster. After like 5 minutes he tells me, "I gonna blow!" Are you ready!" `I've never swallowed before!" I gasped. "It's ok, take me to the finish line!" Two minutes of jerking of rewarded me with him spurting 4 long ropes of semen. He was breathing heavily but if felt sensual. I grabbed a washcloth to clean him up. When he regained his senses and told me it was my turn for pleasure. He has me lay on my tummy. He nibbles and blows into my ear. My mind was going a million miles and hour to the newly discovered sensations. Then he whets his finger and trace it down my spine to my asscrack. I was squirming with glee. He leaves my rosebud alone. He gently gets off of me. We switched positions and kissed some more. He whets his finger again and trace my nipples and then consumes my 4" inch flagpole. I couldn't stay still, it was that intense to me. My toes curling up and felt this most painful, euphoric, dry orgasm that left me dazed and confused. He left me heaving on his soft furry chest. We must of dozed for a bit. All of a sudden he heard a car pull up. "Oh shit! Kid you better get dressed now!" He stammered. I quickly put my clothes on. He did the same. By the time the boyfriend opened the door, the Suit Maker was on the couch and I was sitting on the chair. "Honey. How did the photo shoot go?" "It went great! I should have the negatives developed by next week. We'll have it just in time for Black Friday. I'm taking him to the college campus tomorrow for the rest of the shoot." The boyfriend sensed something was off. Our auras told him the truth be he did not mention it. We sat down for some ice cream. I was flat out exhausted like the dandy. I slept alone in the adjoining bedroom. I could hear the soft sounds of crying and an argument. I was feeling horrible inside. The following day it poured. The shoot was cancelled. The dandy drove me home. It was a silent ride back. Before I got out of the car he whispered, "It's alright but this could never happen again." "I'm sorry sir. I started it and I hope your boyfriend isn't mad at you." I exited the car and went home. Three weeks later it was Black Friday. I saw the photos of me on display but it brought me no joy. I entered the shop and the assistant immediately rang the buzzer. The Suit Maker came out and motioned me to the back room. He had this English Red Hunting suit ready for me including socks, shoes, shirt, slacks, and bow tie. I tried it on. I looked magnificent but the magic was gone. I left the changing room and showed him. "It's yours. You've earned it." With a tear in my eye, I replied "I can't take this. I took advantage of you. Put it on sale for some other boy. I'm sorry for what I've done to you." I changed back to my normal clothes. I made my final goodbys and walked past the assistant. I heard the Suit Maker close his workshop door. My nerves were raw and I was quite emotional. Five years later when I was 16 I finally came back to that mall. The store was gone and it was something else. My love for girls and older men didn't change. But the lesson I learned I've kept with me for the rest of my life. What a friendship could of been was gone and I felt alone. However as they say "when one door closes, another one opens." The End
