Tyler walked into the kitchen the next morning to find Max standing by the coffee machine looking at his phone, shirtless, wearing his black sweatpants from the night before. Tyler hesitated at the door, noticing how the morning light through the kitchen window highlighted the smooth curve of Max's bare back.
Max looked up and felt like he had caught Tyler staring, but he just said, "Morning. Coffee?"
Tyler nodded and sat down on a barstool at the massive kitchen island.
Max's house was a mashup of elegant open spaces with tiny areas of chaos. His mother worked in interior design and his father worked in publishing, so for every room with a wide window and elegant centrepiece there was a closet bursting with bookshelves.
The kitchen was immaculate with a dozen matching appliances spread out over one counter, including an advanced coffee machine that Tyler never touched in case it drove out the front door.
Max placed a steaming mug of black coffee in front of him next to the cream and sugar and stood on the other side of the kitchen island sipping his own cup. The high counter concealed his pants, so to Tyler it looked like he could be naked. The sight triggered a butterfly feeling in Tyler's stomach that he didn't quite understand so he focused on his coffee.
Max watched Tyler as he added sugar and cream to his coffee. He still wore the shorts and tank top Max had given him the night before and he was proud of his friend for not changing back into his jeans or putting on socks. He'd call that progress.
"So," Max started, "What did you want to do today?"
Tyler's mind immediately went to the business card and he caught Max's eye. He knew his friend was thinking the same thing, but was just testing if he had had a change of heart. Jerking off together had been one of the most erotic experiences in Tyler's life, and just the feeling of being naked together had been a terrifying thrill. Add to that the idea of solving his money troubles and Tyler knew he couldn't chicken out.
"Let's text the guy."
Max smirked and pulled the card out of his pants pocket. He slid it across to Tyler.
Call me when you want to make some money.
The words on the card echoed in Tyler's mind as he bit his lip and pulled out his phone. He typed the number and then pulled a blank, "What should I say?"
"Just say you got his card last night. There couldn't be that many people it could be, right?"
Tyler typed and before he could stop himself he sent it.
They waited.
Then a second later it buzzed with a reply and Tyler dropped it on the counter like it was hot.
Max smiled and walked around to stand close behind Tyler to look over his shoulder to read the screen:
Airport boys from the car?
Tyler felt the warmth of Max's bare skin just behind him as he picked up the phone and typed a reply, yes.
A moment later the phone was ringing, the driver's number at the top.
Tyler answered it and put it on speaker, placing it carefully down on the countertop. The smooth Mediterranean voice filled the kitchen, "Hello again, boys."
Tyler looked up at Max, who smacked his bare shoulder and took another sip of his coffee.
"Um, hi," said Tyler.
"So you're looking to make some money, I assume?"
"Yeah."
"I like to discuss these things face-to-face if that's alright with you. Would you like to meet at, say, two o'clock?"
"Ok."
"Wonderful, do you know the courtyard in front of the library? There's a cafe near there called Nimona's."
"Yep."
"Excellent. I'll need you to bring some ID to prove you are of age."
"Ok."
"Perfect. Then, you shall find me at the cafe at two o'clock. Čau."
The call ended.
Tyler's heart was pounding.
Max took another sip of coffee and said, "You're quite eloquent on the phone, you know."
Tyler rolled his eyes and smacked Max's bare stomach, causing Max to spit some coffee down his front. He grabbed a napkin off a nearby stack to mop up the liquid as it dribbled down his chest, which immediately reminded Tyler of Max's cum the night before.
"Fuck, we're really doing this," said Tyler.
"I mean, we'll see what he has to say. I still say the money isn't going to be worth it unless you want to jump from taking a finger tip in your ass to taking his dripping cock."
Tyler gulped at the idea of it, but his eyes drifted down to a bump in Max's pants.
A few hours later they were dressed again, now both wearing shorts and t-shirts as Max wasn't going to push Tyler to leave the house in a revealing tank top just yet.
There were a few dozen people around the courtyard, coming and going from the library. A homeless man stood near the corner being ignored by the overdressed shoppers on the sidewalks who darted in and out of the boutique shops with various bags and boxes of stuff.
Max had parked a block away and they decided to watch the cafe from a distance until two o'clock arrived.
"What if he thinks we're cops and he doesn't come?" Tyler asked.
Max looked at him like he was an idiot.
"What? You never know!"
"Hello boys," said the driver from behind them.
Tyler screamed and Max jumped a little as they both turned to face the man from the night before. Up close, and without his cock drawing all the attention, they could see he was in his late thirties or early forties. He was tall, bald, with wide shoulders and the build of a healthy man who went to the gym but wasn't trying to bulk up. His phone was already out in his left hand, held sideways, the red recording light staring them down.
He smiled at Tyler and said, "You're a nervous one, aren't you?" He put out his hand to shake and said, "I'm David."
Tyler hesitantly shook his hand and introduced himself. The handshake was firm but not aggressive.
David and Max shook hands and Max shared his name.
"So, given how we met I assume you don't need too much warming up to the idea. You're looking to help me out a bit for a little money?"
"A lot of money," said Tyler.
David smiled and his eyebrow went up, "Indeed? Well, we can talk specifics soon. First I need to tick my boxes. Do you have your IDs?"
The boys nodded and pulled out their wallets. Max took out his driver's license but Tyler only had his student ID.
"Hold them up beside your pretty faces please."
Tyler blushed but did as he was told.
David moved in with the camera to record his face and ID together and then did the same with Max before stepping back.
"So, with all that out of the way, what did you think of the little show last night in the field?"
Max and Tyler glanced at each other. Tyler crossed his arms and tried to nod casually as he said, "It was surprising, but interesting."
"What was the most interesting part?" David inched closer as he asked.
"The money," said Tyler.
"And the fucking," said Max.
David adjusted his focus to Max, "Oh? You liked the fucking the best did you?"
Max shrugged.
"May I ask, how long have you two been together?"
"What?" Tyler said in a panic, "We're not gay!"
David looked a little surprised, "Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have assumed. So you're-"
"Just friends," said Tyler.
"Ever fool around with each other?"
In the silence as Tyler hesitated, Max couldn't help but smile at the whole situation and David's camera shifted back to him.
"Is that a `yes'?" David asked.
Max smirked and gave him a half-nod-half-shrug and said, "We've jerked off together, but that's it."
David made a quiet sound of approval and said, "So seeing each other naked is nothing new then? If I wanted to see you together, yes?"
"But you have to pay us first," said Tyler.
"Of course, of course." David pulled a thick wad of cash out of his pocket. "What do you say to a hundred dollars each if you show me your cocks?"
Tyler looked around the courtyard. They were mostly alone in their area, but there were still shoppers on the sidewalk not far away.
"Shouldn't we go somewhere private for that?"
David glanced around casually and shrugged, "No one is looking at us. Don't worry. Just a quick peak and two hundred dollars is yours."
"And what about the video? Where does it go? Do you blur our faces out?"
"The video is just for me, don't worry about it."
Max and Tyler eyed each other. It was clear that Tyler was quietly freaking out, but Max took another look around the courtyard and spoke for both of them, "Deal."
Tyler watched in shock as Max gripped the front of his shorts and quickly slipped them down with his underwear to expose his soft cock. He held it for a few seconds as David moved his camera down, and then let the waistband snap back in place. Another quick look around and he knew he'd gotten away with it.
David uncurled a crisp $100 bill from the wad and held it out to Max, who took it and quickly slipped it into his pocket.
Then the red camera light turned on Tyler.
His heart pounded and he felt like he couldn't turn his head fast enough to check every corner, but with a shaking hand he reached down and pulled his shorts away from his body and slightly down to give David's camera a view while showing as little as possible to the air around them.
David simply tilted his camera down and smiled a bit before stepping back and slipping another $100 off the roll and holding it to Tyler.
Tyler could see the full stack of bills and felt the crisp paper note and felt immediately better.
"You boys have some very nice cocks," David said with a smile.
"So how much to get naked?" Tyler asked, still staring at the money in his hand.
"Out here?" David raised an eyebrow.
"What? No!" Tyler stuffed the cash in his pocket and looked around again in case anyone heard him. "I mean to go somewhere private and get naked. You'll pay us more for that right?"
"Sure," said David slowly, "But I'd like a bit more than just getting naked, I think you know."
"Yeah, we know, we could jerk off for you too."
David nodded, "Yes, that sounds nice. But you've already done that, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"You said you've jerked off together, right?" David asked, turning the camera on Max, who nodded. He turned back to Tyler, "So I don't think paying you to do something you do all the time for free is really worth it for me, right?"
"We don't do it all the time," said Tyler quietly, "It was just the one time."
"It was fun though, right?" David smirked.
Tyler shrugged, refusing to look at either of them.
"You see, what I really like to do is film boys doing things they aren't used to doing, or aren't used to doing yet. I like showing how much fun it can be to play with another man. It's natural. Like the Ancient Greek soldiers who made love before battle. You don't have to label it. You're friends, right?"
Tyler swallowed and glanced up at Max, who offered a comforting smile. They nodded.
"And you love your friends, right?"
They looked back at David and his camera and nodded again.
"So it's natural to want to explore with your friends. To try new things. I just want to give you the motivation." David held the money up again so the camera could see.
"So what do you want us to do?" Tyler asked.
"We'll go somewhere private, like you said, and you can get naked like you said. I'll pay you for that, don't worry. And I'll pay you to jerk off together too. Let's say another two hundred dollars each."
Tyler glanced at Max and chewed his lip. It wasn't as much as he had been hoping for.
"But first," David continued, "I think it would be good for you both to try something you haven't done. So I'll pay you both two hundred dollars right now if you kiss."
Tyler's heart pounded.
Max raised his eyebrows. He glanced over at Tyler and saw him biting his lip.
Tyler finally looked up to meet Max's eyes and felt the adrenaline flowing around his body sending nervous tingles into every limb.
"A proper kiss, of course," David continued, "With tongues, for at least thirty seconds. I think that's a pretty good deal for $400."
Max gave a little encouraging shrug, silently telling Tyler he was ok with it if he was.
Tyler swallowed again, noticing how Max's lips looked soft and thin. They didn't have the bubbly shape or lip gloss he had experienced with Pauline, which left a sloppy feeling around his mouth after they'd been making out.
He knew he might chicken out if he didn't go for it, so he stepped close to Max, their bodies inches apart. He tried to take one more glance around the courtyard to make sure no one was watching them, but Max put his warm hands on either side of his head and pressed their lips together.
They shut their eyes.
Tyler's hands found Max's waist as Max's tongue slipped inside his mouth, first just the tip, and then a little more. A lick against his teeth sent shivers through his body and he felt the warm air getting warmer as their bodies pressed together.
Max let one hand slide down Tyler's neck and shoulder blade, finding a comfortable spot above Tyler's hip in the curve of his back.
Tyler gripped Max's waist harder.
Their tongues danced together, delicately probing Tyler's mouth and then Max's.
Their lips slid apart for just a moment as they turned their heads, their noses brushing past each other, swapped sides and reconnecting to continue the kiss.
"Very beautiful boys."
David's voice pulled them both back into their bodies and their lips parted. Max cupped Tyler's neck with one hand, keeping them close as their eyes opened.
They both blushed and tried to hide their smiles as they stepped apart and looked back at David with his camera and the money he held out to them.
Tyler slid two bills out of David's hand and Max did the same, quietly adding them to their pockets.
"Time to move to my hotel room," said David.
