Part 1

 

In Louisville, there used to be a theater named Savoy.  It was built late 1800’s and was used for vaudeville and later burlesque.  Last, it was used as a movie house as so many of the theaters evolved into such to stay open.  The movies that were shown were porn.  By this time in its existence, it had fallen on hard times and just tried to eke out a niche and provide a profit for the owner.

 

The inside if one ever looked closely was one of magnificence.  It truly had been a fashionable theater in its heyday.  But, true to form with admission payments declining repairs and maintenance were done only on an emergency basis.  Yeah, it had become a seedy establishment.

 

After paying admission, a walk through a lobby that reeked of mustiness and stale popcorn and some other odors that couldn’t be determined, you could find old movie posters sagging and staring at you along the front entry way.  At the top of the incline, rest rooms were to the left and a very small and unappetizing snack bar was to the right.  (In all my trips to Savoy, I can’t recall ever seeing anyone ever buying anything—thank goodness.)

 

Through the double doors that lead directly into the ground floor auditorium seating, you could go on to a seat in the main auditorium or turn to the right and go upstairs to the balcony.  There were additional stairs at the front of the theater located on either side of the balcony.  My first trip was a discovery for me.  I took a seat on the main floor and watched trying to learn how things worked.  Soon enough I thought I had it pretty well figured out.  What’s not to figure out with such blatant cruising going on?

 

With this being my first trip and being just over the 21 year old line, I summoned up my courage and headed down the main aisle walking slowly turning at the front of the theater and walked on to the left staircase.  I slowly climbed it walking back along the balcony looking into the private boxes.  As I passed the last of them, I walked on to the stairs that led to the top and the projectionist booth.  I walked behind the booth and came back down the steps on the other side settling into a seat in the center section. 

 

There had been several men along the back wall and several more were seated throughout the balcony.  I sat and watched the movie but wasn’t really interested since it was straight porn . . . and really bad.  I did keep an eye on the rest of the men in the place watching some taking their cocks out and jacking while others moved from seat to seat to get a better look at the cocks being jacked.  Occasionally I turned to see who was behind me and what they were doing.

 

Well, needless to say that after about a half hour upstairs and nothing but a few guys jacking their cocks, I was not impressed.  I checked out the back wall guys again and even they had quietly gone.  I decided to go up and stand awhile to see if that held a better vantage for watching and for being seen. 

 

The back two rows of seats had been removed leaving a platform where you might sit but not in a seat.  I chose to stand and finally leaned into the platform shifting around just for variation.  As I watched the men in the balcony and more of the movie, I did finally begin to think about how this place would be so hot to have sex.  I started reacting with my cock getting a little hard.  I stuffed my hands in my shorts pockets and began playing with myself.  What the hell.

 

I never really got all that hard but wasn’t totally deflated either.  Then, I saw a movement to my left.  I turned and saw standing there a tall Black man that was very well built.  He was almost dressed in a t-shirt, shorts, and tennis shoes.  We looked back and forth at each other until we almost simultaneously smiled slightly and nodded.  I glanced back at the movie and then back to him.  He had put his right hand in his shorts pocket.  I could tell he was definitely stroking his dick but he was ever so subtle about it.

 

I readjusted my own dick pushing it to my left hand where I resumed stroking myself.  At the same time, I twisted my body to the left so that what I was doing could also be seen.  We watched each other intently as my heart began pumping more rapidly blood throughout my body.  I was sure he could hear how rapid my heart was beating and how I was having difficulty breathing.

 

After watching each other for several minutes, this giant of a man walked slowly over to where I stood walking behind me and settling in to my right.  Nothing was said between us but we continued to watch the crotch of the other as we pushed our dicks to fill more.  I felt his presence. 

 

Being the bottom that I am, I was much more interested in his big dick but following cruising protocol was required.  As we stood side by side, I began hoping that this was going to be more than just a jack off contest.  My mouth was dry as cotton but intent on sucking a cock as well as my ass itching to have it split open and fucked.  I had no experience in this place or any like it.  First time experiences can be a real disaster or very memorable in a good way.

 

After some time, I felt the backside of a hand rubbing my arm.  I turned to my right so as to face this big Black man removing my left hand from my shorts pocket.  I reached out to his crotch as I moved closer to him.  He removed his hand from his dick and pocket.  I replaced his hand with mine and began rubbing his now very big dick through his shorts.  He placed his hands on my shoulders and began rubbing down and up my arms repeatedly.  I stared unflinching into his eyes as he did into mine.  This was going to be a very memorable time.

 

No longer content with this outward rubbing of his dick, I stopped and reached up and unsnapped the clasp of his shorts.  He gently grabbed my arms and pulled me closer to him bending his head down to mine.  He pulled me closer wrapping his arms around me and began kissing me.  I wrapped my arms around him and returned the kiss.  Our mouths opened and our tongues explored the other.  We slowly explored each other swapping spit and tongues until he finally pulled gently away.  We both grinned ear to ear.  I had slipped across that invisible racial barrier, and I knew there would be no stopping me in the future.

 

He finished unzipping his shorts letting them drop to the floor revealing that he was not wearing underwear.  His fattened black cock bounced upward from the release and filled a bit more with his blood.  He bent over and picked up his shorts. 

 

As soon as he had begun to unzip his shorts, I had quickly unsnapped my own and unzipped them following his lead.  He laid his on the back platform where there had been seats.  I put my shorts and underwear next to his.  He next pulled his t-shirt off as did I.  Those were deposited on top of the shorts.  We stood and stared at the other and ourselves.  Such contrast between the two of us.  He was so tall and big and, I’m not meaning just his big uncut black dick.

 

I stood at 5’ 10” at 155 pounds for my 33-inch waist with blue eyes, brown hair, clean shaven, and though not deeply tanned I was not lily white.  This Black man stood at least 6’ 5” or so beset with muscles from work weighing over 230 pounds, short black hair, dark sparkling eyes, a huge smile, and a gentleness that betrayed his bearing.  Though he presented as a gentle giant to me, he later showed that he could and would be commanding with obedience expected.

 

His dick had a beautiful hood that had stretched backwards a bit.  In the dim of theatre light, I could see his dick was covered by thick fat veins.  It had to be at least 9 inches if not more and real thick with a slight upward curve.  It was beautiful.  I reached for it taking it into my right hand gently touching the skin moving my hands all over his dick.  I felt those thick fat veins and after wrapping my right hand around as much of his dick as I could, I began slowly pumping its full length.  I watched his big black upward curved cock as I felt it swell slightly more in my hand.  I was so captivated.  The thick clear ooze that gently seeped out of the piss slit fascinated and excited me.  The sensation felt as if my hand were being scalded.

 

I knelt in front of him and began to pry open my mouth and insert this man-Sequoia into me.  I had to stop and quickly call up some spit working slowly with this process until I at last was able to get most of this tasty dick in my mouth where I slathered it with spit from my tongue and worked lovingly to invite as much of his blood to engorge this beauty to its fullest.  This was going to be a very, very memorable first visit.  I worked on getting more and more of this behemoth in me sliding further down the shaft until I would gag backing off not to cause a scene.  I continued to work my mouth onto his beautiful black dick as he began to moan slightly and sway gently forward and backwards aiding me in my quest . . . and his.

 

After feasting on this beast for several minutes, I uncoupled my mouth from his dick putting my right hand around it fully jacking it slowly as my head darted lower to his balls.  I began licking and sucking on them as I could in my position.  He slowly re-positioned his feet giving me room.  After much sucking, he placed his right foot high on the platform making his balls totally accessible now.  I began working my mouth around them as I continued jacking him with my right hand.  I was so taken with this Black man and how he tasted.

 

Many minutes passed with my rapt attention being paid to his cock and balls.  He set his foot back down on the floor, reached down to me and pulled me up to meet his lips once again.  He bent me backwards and opened his mouth wide and drove his tongue deep into me as I held onto him.  He ended this soulful kissing by moving his mouth down to my throat where he began licking it to the side eventually stopping just below my ear where he bit me ever so gently but with a great gusto of feeling.  I was so hooked on this pain.  He reached his right hand to my left nipple where he squeezed tightly and began twisting it hard.  I was left gasping in erotic agony clenching my hold on him even tighter as small guttural moans of pleasure began to pass out of me.

 

We continued this way for an unknown amount of time.  I was so caught up with this Black man who had drawn out of me this pleasure and desire for more of the pain he inflicted.  He was so good at bringing my senses of sexuality to the surface and releasing me from my prison of plain Jane sex.  He was making sure that every time after him I was going to need such erotic painful pleasure to have any satisfaction.  This man was not going to be just an anonymous one timer—I was determined.

 

When he finally released me, I felt so drained and yet so invigorated.  I was ready for more; whatever he wanted.  He knew what he wanted and knew how to get it.  This big Black man was going to claim another prize.

 

Part 2

 

He raised upright and smiled down at me and winked.  He then slowly began twisting my shoulders, and I obeyed turning away from him.  He reached around me and began moving our clothes pulling his shorts out putting them to the side.  Without a word, he bent me over the platform so as to lie on our remaining clothes.  I adjusted my position for comfort as he stepped behind me and knelt.  I felt my ass cheeks being pulled apart with his massive hands and his hot breath hitting my ass hole. 

 

Then, there was a huge wet tongue being pressed deep and hard into my hole pushing it open.  It was as if there was a small dick trying to enter me.  He drove hard and deep many times followed by his taking the entire width of his tongue and licking straight up from the bottom to the top and finally taking his almost unnoticed scruffy day old beard stubble dragging it the full length back down scratching my hide as if sandpaper had been applied.  He continued with this assault which stimulated and excited me to no end.  I was having a great deal of difficulty in dealing with the stimulation that he was unleashing in me.  I was delirious with erotic desire at what he was doing to me.

 

Again, too soon, it came to an end, and I was feeling so drained of energy.  I laid there in my sweat trying to recover but prepared for whatever next he had planned.  I felt and heard him pull his shorts off the platform and then saw them tossed back soon enough.  He stood up and leaned over to my ear and asked if I wanted to get fucked.  I turned my head and said yes.  He told me that I would need some help but he could accommodate that.  He had something that would make things a lot easier for me and make things a lot more intense for me and him.  He asked if I was cool with that; I told him that I was.

 

As I lay there ready for whatever next happened with this Black man, I heard a slight sound to my left.  My head jerked quickly and saw four men standing and watching us:  three were black and one white.  Quickly, I was very self-conscious and started to get up.  He grabbed me quickly and told me to chill.  They were only watching and enjoying us.  I was still nervous but finally became assured.  I bent back over the platform as he motioned to one of the men who stepped up to my head.  He knelt in front of me and smiled and winked.  He told me it was okay that I was among friends here.

 

I felt my ass being pried open by two thick fingers a couple of times resulting in a “damn” being spit out.  One of the other men walked over behind me.  I felt my ass hole being literally physically pried open by three fingers; these were not the same fingers as before.  I then felt a finger carefully maneuvering its way deep into my hole as the other three fingers slowly withdrew.  I now had one thick finger inside me which I fleetingly hoped and believed to belong to my Black man.  He began to move the tip around rubbing and massaging my insides for a few seconds and then slowly withdrawing it but continuing to massage my insides. 

 

Once again, I felt my hole being physically stretched open with three fingers only this time an attempt to open me even wider was made which gave some pain.  Again, I felt the slow insertion of that thick finger with the entire massaging taking place once more.  This time though I was feeling some heat, and my ass was beginning to become antsy.  This really felt super hot.  The thick finger continued to massage my inside as far as it could reach.  My ass began to feel the need for more . . . and bigger

 

I heard him get up glanced backwards at him and found him looking at me.  I looked at him as he smiled broadly.  He asked, “How’s that feel?”  I told him warm and very different.  He chuckled as did all the other men.  He handed a small tin to the other man in front of me who dipped his finger into the contents.  He brought his finger to my nostril with some white powder on it.  He put his left hand on my face pushing his index finger against my nostril.  “Sniff hard.” is all he said as he put the powder at my other nostril.  I sniffed as directed and felt the almost fine powder enter my nostril.  “Again.” he said.  I did.  “Beautiful, man.”

 

I was now beginning to realize that I had just embarked on a chem-fueled public sex fucking.  Well, first time for everything.  Besides, it was too late to back out now.  And, backing out was not in the cards.  As I lay there taking on my newly found energy and sexual liberty, I slowly came to realize that my ass was now being massaged with a lube.  I was being prepped for entry.

 

I heard talk but not the words.  I was aware of men but not the number.  I was aware of where I was.  I also was aware that my ass was now on fire and screaming at me for being empty—(How did that happen?)—as well as my nose burning and itching.  My head was swooning but going nowhere.  Once more I looked down to find a black finger covered in white powder being held up to my nose.  I confusedly looked at the finger then lowered my nostril to it as another finger closed off one nostril.  I sharply inhaled much more quickly and deeply than before.  Then, I felt a mounting pressure at my ass hole that increased more and more. 

 

The man in front of me took my chin and turned my face to his.  I thought I heard him say to breathe deeply several times.  I looked at him from space.  He smiled pressing his thumb into my nostril as he placed a brown small bottle next to my other nostril.  I lay there momentarily until he reminded me to inhale as deeply as I could several times.  I began inhaling deeply and with each breath I felt a rush of heat push through into my lungs filling me with such euphoria and exhilaration.

 

I breathed in the aroma from the little brown bottle and then did a second larger lungful with a final third that was the least of all.  My head dropped, my body jolted, my lungs felt like lava and beautiful, and now I was convulsing.

 

No, I was not convulsing; I was shaking.  Everything was shaking.  Shaking roughly.  It had to be a convulsion.  No.  As I breathed fresh air, I slowly came back to reality and discovered that my hips were being held tightly and my ass hole was stretched open and something was happening.  Oh.  Fuck.  Yes.  I was being fucked.  That’s what it was.  I turned my head around to find my big Black man grinning at me as he gripped my hips tightly in his hands and was pumping his fat black cock in and out of my ass.  I had to think.  What had happened?  The brown bottle; I breathed deeply.  The jolt.  That was it.  My Black man had rammed his big black dick in my ass after I had taken deep hits from that bottle.

 

My senses were returning quickly now.  I felt this huge dick in my ass turning once more to more clearly see that, yes, I was being fucked by this tall Black man.  He was invading me over and over and over again full length.  Then, I became aware of my ass and how full it was feeling and how it was screaming for more of this fucking.  I roused myself and became more aware of this invasion and departure.  Soon I was clamping down with my muscles on this big black dick as it exited my ass and relaxed them as it made another invasion.  “Oh, fuck, yeah, man!  Grab that big dick of mine.”  This man was going to enjoy himself as much as I was.

 

My head was gently turned forward once more.  My nostril was closed and I felt a presence under my other nostril.  I exhaled deeply through my mouth.  A slow constant inhalation of the fumes from the brown bottle began until no longer could I inhale.  The bottle was removed; I held my breath until I could no longer do so exhaling slowly but deeply.  I felt my other nostril being closed.  Once more I inhaled deeply.  My head was spinning; I knew I was smiling giddily; my head now felt heavy; I had to focus hard on using my sphincter muscle squeezing this gargantuan black dick in my ass to please its owner.

 

He began fucking me harder still as I kept pace with his tempo.  Not too tightly squeezing his cock; I didn’t want to disrupt his thrusts and level of commitment to finishing.  Several more minutes of his thrusting in me when I heard him begin a slow low guttural moan the built.  His pitch of growling intensified as his tempo of fucking me intensified.  They were one and the same that ended finally with his slapping my ass cheeks several times extremely hard grabbing my hips again as he made a final plunge deep inside me where his big black dick began convulsing and shivering and delivering the contents of his balls deep into me as he began panting and swearing while huge drops of sweat flung themselves from his body onto mine.  He held his dick fully deep in me as the last drops of his DNA fluid raced through his long blood-gorged fat dick exiting into my awaiting ass.  He slipped out slowly as I gently caressed his dick length to fully obtain all that precious fluid of his.

 

My ass screamed at being so empty.  I was frantic and desperate.  He stepped forward to me kneeling down kissing me deeply.  He asked if I wanted more.  “Yes.  Please.  Lots more.”  He turned looking at the men behind us and nodded.  I felt almost instantly my ass cheeks being spread open and a pressure at my hole.  No difficulty in this entry as I felt this dick slide fully into me and begin the journey to completion.  My Black man took the brown bottle and replaced the man who had given me the amyl.  He held the bottle to my nose and told me to gently inhale.  I did so.  I was so turned on once more floating through this new fucker. 

 

My Black man gave me small doses as I was being fucked.  He must have known what level I was enjoying myself.  I never got the full amount as I had with him.  But, it did add to my enjoyment of this dick invading and departing as it did.  I was being fucked in public and loved every stroke of the dick.  This fucker was not as rough and did not last as long as my Black man but he was fucking me.  His delivery came soon enough and I savored that load of cum as well.  I felt his dick also spasm and swell with each spewing of his cum into my ass.  He slowly pulled out of my ass leaving me once more with my ass screaming that it was empty.  I started upright in protest but was gently pulled back down.

 

I looked at my Black man who smiled back and winked.  Just as he did, I felt my cheeks once more being pulled apart and another dick buried fully into me.  I was treated again to small doses of amyl with each succeeding man who fucked me.  I spent almost two hours laying there being fucked by every man who wanted to rid themselves of their DNA.  This Black man had me hooked on being fucked in public.  Never again would I be hesitant or afraid of being an exhibitionist.

 

When no more men were in line, the Black man leaned in and kissed me saying that the party was almost over.  I looked back seeing no one.  But my ass still needed more.  As I had gazed backwards at the empty space, this Black man had stood and walked once more to my ass.  I saw him come into view and smiled which he returned. 

 

Once more I felt him place his big hands on my hips as his big uncut black dick pushed in at my hole.  I lay there needing him to return inside me.  Indeed, he did return pushing straight in all the way.  I grasped him once more as he began his retreat.  I milked his fat uncut dick each time he withdrew praying for his return inside me.

 

More and more this gargantuan black dick invaded my insides.  Harder and harder he drove himself and his thick and veined uncut sex tube.  As he shoved his way in again, I felt him leaning forward until I felt his hand at my cheek.  I turned to see in his hand the small brown bottle he held out.  As he short fucked my ass, I leaned over covering my left nostril exhaling deeply coming to rest just above the bottle opening.  I inhaled deeply.

 

I felt my lungs burn and the full body flush hit me as before.  My ass had momentarily been deprived of movement in it until the cap had been replaced on the bottle.  I exhaled as my Black man began to spear me again in earnest.  I wandered about in my exhilaration feeling my ass being gloriously pummeled smiling slightly with total satisfaction.  All too soon, though, I was jolted into reality as my hole began to be the recipient of supersonic piston workings.

 

The growling intensified as before.  This time the growling was more intense and louder.  The fucking that was being done sped up more.  The growling became deeper and louder.  More speed; more growling; faster; louder.  Then, the home ramming to release round two of cum from this big Black man right from his balls through his fat uncut dick and into my ass where it would be absorbed and become a part of me.

 

He bent over and laid his body atop mine as we both heaved in air and waited for our hearts to return to normal.  In time that seemed as long as an eternity, we did return to normal.  He stood up slowly and slid his dick out of my ass.  I slowly stood up and was unsteady.  This Black man held me steady until I was secure on my feet.  We dressed in silence after which he hugged me again and kissed me deeply.  I felt the biggest emptiness in my life as I had never felt before.

 

He asked what I was going to do now.  I told him probably go home and cry.  He asked why.  I told him because I wasn’t ready to stop.  I was feeling the need to be fucked more.  He smiled and said, “Good.  You and I need more time together.”  So, we walked out of the Savoy.  Oddly, our cars were parked three spaces from each other.  I followed him to his house where we went inside ready for more from each other. 

 

We entered his house.  He locked the front door and turned to me stripping immediately as I followed suit.  He took me in his arms and kissed me deeply once more.  It was such a wonderful feeling of him invading my mouth, but I was in more need of his invading my ass.

 

I followed him to his bedroom where we tossed back the covers and climbed onto the bed.  He pinned me down kissing me and biting my neck.  His ability to heighten my excitement was unreal.  I had never had such sexual feelings and urgencies brought out of me.  He began working his way down my body working his tongue and teeth all along my torso until he reached my cock that he inhaled fully.  I almost screamed at the sensation of his hot moist mouth as it encompassed my cock sucking it into his mouth to be rolled around and licked by his tongue.  This Black man knew how to fully appreciate sex.

 

With ease, he finally pulled off my limp cock gently pushing me to one side indicating that I should turn onto my stomach.  I felt his big hands raise my hips as he settled down onto the bed and once more his tongue invading my ass and licking the sweat and leaked cum from my crack.  He drove me into a frenzy with his tongue as my ass continued to scream louder and louder that it needed to be filled again.  This perfectionist of a sexual being knew what he was doing, and I let him.

 

I felt his body raising up and moving upwards on the bed.  I felt his hard cock being carefully aligned to ride the crack of my ass as he came lower on the bed so that his head was near mine.  “You were really a hot sight at Savoy today.  Do you know how many men fucked you?”  I shook my head no.  “You took on nine men plus me.  You took eleven loads of cum in your ass, man.  And, I get you more now that we’re here.  You want me to fuck you some more?”  I shook my head yes.

 

This giant Black man began shifting his hips causing his big black cock to move around my ass crack.  My legs began to spread apart slightly to give access to my ass.  I felt the head of his cock finally drop low enough in my ass crack to be close to my hole.  He began pushing and pulling back slightly so that he could get his cock aligned to make that plunge back into my hole.  I cautiously lay there to let him make all the moves but did make the effort to raise my hips from the bed for better access for him.  With only a few attempts, the head of his cock finally found its mark and began putting pressure on my ass hole.  I held steady as he increased his pressure feeling my sphincter popping open at last allowing his beautiful black cock to slide smoothly into me.  My ass began screaming it “thank you” for being occupied once more.

 

He slid his black cock all the way inside me stopping only when there was nothing more to enter after I had reached back pulling my cheeks as wide apart as I could.  I felt the weight of this Black man fully on my body just as I felt the full length of his wonderful black cock inserted into my ass.  I was once more going to enjoy a fuck from this anonymous Black man.

 

We lay there briefly until I felt his cock withdrawing only to return full length.  He continued to slow fuck my ass as I absorbed every nerve ending in my body that was firing off all the excitement and satisfaction possible.  I became wrapped up in the sensation of this Black man entering and leaving my own body and all the erotic feelings that he was stirring in me.  I began pushing back onto his cock as he would plunge into me.  I was determined that I was going to stimulate this Black man’s cock to full sexual arousal and to give him the ultimate satisfaction of a hot sweat-producing, nut busting fuck possible.  He began chewing my ear and neck and licking deeply into my ear as he reached below me with his left hand finding my nipple and squeezing it hard as he twisted it.

 

My moans and groans told him what he wanted to know.  He intensified his fucking and working my left nipple as I continued to moan and groan working my ass muscles around his cock.  “Oh, fuck, yeah, man.  Oh, shit.  Fuck me.  Harder, man.  Fuck me harder.  Damn, oh, fucking damn!” was only the beginning of my verbal consent to him.  Driven by my verbal, he continued on with his assault on my left nipple as his now fully engorged superior black cock rocketed into and out of my ass shaking the bed as I felt more clearly his body weight pressing down on me.  His tempo increased in almost imperceptible amounts until I suddenly was aware that he was almost literally bouncing off my ass with his groin area.

 

A split moment later he pushed himself up off my body as he let loose of my left nipple creating such additional wonderful pain there as he rose up behind me grabbing my hips with both of his hands and within less than a half dozen hard full thrusts of his black hardened as steel cock into my ass, he began releasing his cum load into me again as he growled from his diaphragm.  I felt the sweat from his body drop onto my ass as he pumped his cock into me slower and slower releasing the last of his deposit.  He all too soon made one final shove into me with his wonderful black cock holding it fully inside and began to once more lay down full length on top of me.

 

We lay there for a few seconds until he slid onto his right side on the bed with me still impaled on his cock.  It felt right.  I was almost sated but still had a yearning for more.  He was also sated for the moment.

 

Once recuperated, he leaned into my ear and said, “I hope you don’t have any plans for the rest of this weekend.”  I looked around at him and said, “Yes, I do as long as you don’t mind having me as company.”
