TWINKS IN LOVE, BUT SMALL COCKS?

CHAPTER I

          I met my boyfriend, Nigel, when we were both sophomores at a University.  I had seen Nigel occasionally whilst on campus, but we never spoke to one another until one day when I was out on a run one early autumn.  If one has spent any time in New England, one knows that the most beautiful season is autumn.  The air is so fresh and clean, the colors are brilliant and the sky is clear blue.  It was during this one morning that I saw Nigel running. As I ran closer and came alongside him, we looked at one another, smiled and passed greetings.  Nigel looked gorgeous in his blue running shorts, long white sleeved UVM sweatshirt, ankle socks, and Saucony running sneakers.  His long, dark blonde hair  bouncing along his face and neck as we small talked and ran.  Nigel was about 5`8", 145 lbs, and his body was so slim and muscular.  I could not help but slowing down slightly just to get a glimpse of his ass as he ran slightly ahead of me. I had never seen such a round, firm, muffin ass on a guy before and I was truly impressed with his ass. I noticed he had no hair on his legs. Nigel's legs were so smooth and muscular. 
          As we ran, Nigel told me he was at Ready Hall.  I replied I was living at Sichel Hall.  Both halls were in the North Trinity area. As we continued running, I learned Nigel was also a sophomore, born and raised in Vermont and wished to work as a teacher.  I was working towards a nursing degree and wanted to continue as a Paramedic upon completion of school.  As we headed back to our respective dorms, Nigel asked if I would like to get together sometime.  I was more than elated at the invite but tried to keep my excitement low key.  We exchanged telephone numbers and went on our separate ways.  Later that evening, my mobile rang and it was Nigel.  He wondered if I was doing anything, and when I told him that I was not doing anything, he invited me over to his room.  I gladly accepted and told him I could be there in 15 minutes.
          As soon as I hung up, I  jumped into the shower, threw on a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a long-sleeved sweatshirt.  Twenty minutes later I was knocking on his dorm door.  When he opened it, Nigel looked even more handsome.  Smiling widely, he has his long dark blonde pulled back, behind his ears, wearing a tight t-shirt and blue jeans.  I noticed he was barefoot and could not believe how small and feminine his feet looked.  They were well manicured and looked so soft and girl like.  Nigel invited me to sit and offered me a beer or wine.  I accepted red wine and sat on the hard desk chair.  Nigel's dorm room was small and other than his bed, desk and desk chair, there was a plaid love-seat by the window.  Nigel handed me the glass of wine in a beer glass (college life) and sat by himself on the love-seat.  We chatted for hours about childhood, family, University, friends and our ambitions. 
           We chatted about ex-boyfriends and sex life.  Nigel explained that he had only 1 boyfriend before and it was short lived during high school. He had dated a few others his freshman year at University, but not anything really serious.  I explained that I had dated occasionally, had a relationship that lasted one year, but we broke up as we were heading to different Universities.   As it was getting late, Nigel asked if I wanted to meet him for breakfast the next morning. I gladly accepted and was on my way out the door.  Nigel took me by the arm and as I looked at him, he gave me a kiss on the lips.  Nigel's lips were warm, gentle and soft.  I was glad he kissed me.  As I walked out the door, I gave him a wink, thanks and said I looked forward to seeing him again! 
          We began dating shortly thereafter. Within months, we had decided to move into a dorm together and all through University, we lived together.  Upon graduation, we located a beautiful apartment, were able to find employment and now live very happily together.  I just realized that I had not mentioned my name.   It is Randy and I am basically the same size as Nigel.  Another thing we discovered was that we were both endowed about the same also, rather small like we were, about 4" and slim.  My hair is somewhat darker blonde than his also.  Neither of us has enough hair on our bodies to matter, more like a very little dusting of it and short.  We also discovered that although we both can be versatile, I am a little more of a top and Nigel is more of a bottom, which works out great for us.  Both of us, although completely monogamous, always still use condoms and have always been for safe sex only.
          Everything seemed so nice, easy and normal for two guys deeply in love.  We did everything together. Eating, watching TV, going to a bar or a movie, bathing.  Our only real vice was watching porn together.  This gradually went a little bit more wild as we went on, trying to find a little bit more daring scenes to watch.  We went from very basic porn to eventually, watching mostly barebacking types, sometimes even watching where a bottom got gang banged by several men and all were BB and many loads in the bottoms ass.  Watching these movies always got us both hard and soon in bed and making wild passionate love to each other, condom covered though even as we watched all BB porn any more.  Whenever I would cum, the throbbing of my small cock would still make Nigel cum also.  The only unsafe thing we did was to rub his cum all over our stomachs which is where it landed to start with.

Chapter II

          We seemed to have a perfect relationship.  Both working at jobs we loved, great place to live, wonderful times together, sex that was out of this world for us both.  We loved watching porn and then somewhat recreating it together, although we were now at a point where all we watched was BB porn, we still used condoms with each other.  It was a dream come true.  We were now both out of school and working for about 2 years now.  Going smoothly.  My nursing job was at a clinic that catered to mostly gays.  We had a few friends, not many, but plenty for us as we were not partiers anyway and only a few drinks here and there.  Just nice comfortable and easy going lifestyle.
          Then one day, Nigel, stopped to pick up a new dvd for us to watch.  Don't remember the title, but he had thought it was just another BB movie for us to enjoy.  It was a Friday night, so it was kind of our 'date' night.   We went out to eat, then to a club to have a quick drink and dance a little and say hi to a couple of friends.   Then home to watch the movie and make love together. 
          We got home and fixed a couple of drinks and went to watch our new vid.  It started out basically like most, a somewhat boring uninteresting
meeting of a couple of guys.  They went back to one of their places for all intents and purposes for hot sex.  Mainly the usual French kissing as they disrobed each other next to the usual almost bare bed.  Then the usual groping of each other and both ending up in a 69 with probably the top being on top of course.  Somewhat boring to this point other than both men were built and damn hot looking.  As per usualy the top having the bigger of the two cocks, lol.   Then slowly, the top withdraws his cock from the bottom's mouth and keeping his on the other cock, slowly turns around.  Then withdrawing his mouth off of the bottoms cock, crawls between his legs and lifts them up over his shoulders.  Then the top starts to rim the bottom to get his hole lubed with spit only.  He gets a little verbal at this point telling the bottom he is going to BB him and dump his load up his ass.  The bottom seems to love it and says do me.
          Then as the top takes his tongue out of the bottoms ass, he lowers it down till he can look the guy in the eyes and tell him to get ready.  As he moves forward to impale the bottoms hole the camera pans around till it appears to be the viewpoint of the bottom watching that huge cock come towards him.  There, just above the tops, cock is THE TATTOO.  A biohazard symbol that we all know the meaning of.  Nigel and I gasp and look at each other.  This was something we had never contemplated at all,  Nigel whispered that he had no idea what this movie was.  The toxic cock begins to enter the bottom and the camera angle changes again to let us see the entire length going in.  The top hesitated only a few seconds and then begins to pount the bottoms hole as fast and hard as he can.  This goes on for about 15 minutes until the top suddenly drives deep and tells the bottom he is coming and pozzing his ass good.  No pulling out and coming mostly on the bottoms ass and then reinserting like so many other vids do.  All the toxic cum deep inside and then just a few drops dripping out when the cock is withdrawn.  Both top and bottom have huge smiles on their faces when done and then the vid is over.
          Nigel and I look at each other in disbelief, but when we both look down we see that we are both hard as a rock.  We soon are making out and then I put on a condom, like normal and I fuck him hard and don't stop till i have dumped two loads in the condom and Nigel has also cum twice.  We then fall asleep in each others arms after one of the hottest fucks we had ever had.

Chapter III

          The next day, Saturday, we arose, wrapped in each other's arms.  We got up and took a shower together and then got breakfast and coffee.  Neither of us were talking much as I know he was as disturbed about what had happened the night before.  We had watched what we had thought was just another of our normal BB vids, but found out that is was not only BB but was also a pozzing vid.  It had caught us by surprise, but aftwrwards we had had one of the hottest fuck sessions we had ever had.
          It was well after lunch before we really started to talk about it.  We discussed it a lot, trying to figure out why we had become so turned on.  It was pure nonsense to us as we even used condom together always.  Why had we found it so hot for a POZ BB VID, why?  We had no answer for it and decided it must have just been the shock of it.  Even after the talk and our decision, I could not get the idea of the bottom in that vid.  He had been actually almost as cute of a twink as Nigel and not really much difference in size.  I could almost envision Nigel getting that hot poz load and it was a little disturbing  but at the same time hotter than all get out.  I found myself wondering what it would be like to see Nigel taking a hot poz load in his absolutely perfect butt.  I was hard as a bar of steel at the crazy thought.
          Before we knew it, it was getting about time for supper and we decided to go out to eat.  We headed for our favorite restaurant, talking on the way about the fact we hadn't been there in a while for some reason.  We arrived to find, to our shock, that it had closed up and was no longer open at all.  Now, what to do?  We left our auto parked and decided to walk around and see if there was another place close.  After a short walk, we found one that looked interesting just a couple of blocks away and around a corner on a side street.
          We entered and found a table and settled in.  I headed to the restroom, as I had to go, washed my hands and returned.  I got back to find that Nigel had ordered us coffee and we had our menus now.  I noticed very quickly that Nigel was excited for some reason.  Before I could ask him what was up, he started telling me about the waiter.  He said he had been taken by surprise when he showed up at our table and that he was an absolute black adonis.  I looked up as he was descibing him to me and I spotted our waiter almost immediately at another table.   He was all that Nigel was saying and then some.  He appeared to be about 5' 10 or 11" talll and a good 180 pounds of muscular hunk.  As I watched, he approached our table and I could tell from his tight fitting pants that he had what looked to be a very nice package also.  
          As he got to our table, I saw that the name of his uniform shirt tag said Randy. (omg, I just realized that at the start of my story, I put my name on here as Randy, way ahead of myself there,  as my name is actually Seth, what a dummy I am. LOL.)  Anyway, Randy, smiled  and asked us how we were doing and if we were ready to order.  We told him we were ready, and Nigel added, really ready.  I looked at him in amazment, as he usually did not flirt that openly.  He was grinning like the cat that ate the canary and I had to grin at the adorable look on his face.  He could hardly take his eyes off of our waiter and I really could not blame him as Randy was astonishingly handsome and seemed so very likeable with his huge smile.  And him being this close to us while we were seated gave us both quite a view of his huge bulge in his pants.  Neither Nigel or mysef could hardly take our stares away from that view and our waiter seemed to notice where our eyes were as his bulge seemed to fill out even more.
          Our meal took longer than usual, as Randy, our waiter, was very attentive and came to check on us a lot.  Every time he came by he stopped to talk to us and we could not help but stop eating to admire him.  Nigel was in full on flirt mode, lol.  I was almost jealous of the attention he gave Randy and it was definitely returned.  Nobody, I don't think, could refuse the attention and super attractiveness of Nigel.  His boyish looks, beautiful smile and eyes could turn anyone's head.  His tight compact body and beautiful bubble butt were magnificent.  At one time, Nigel excuse himself to go to the restroom and many eyes followed his walk there.  He seemed to take longer than normal and finally returned and Randy was right behind him.  I kind of wondered if Randy  had had to use the restroom too.
          By the time we had finished, Nigel had already found out when Randy was getting off work and had asked him back to our place for a drink and to possibly watch a movie.  Randy, unfortunately, declined sayin he was too tired tonight as he had had to work a double shift.  I spoke up then, asking if he was free tomorrow night and could come for dinner and drinks.  He told us he would love to come as he wouild be off work the next couple of nights.  We settled on the time, 7 pm and thanked Randy for his very wonderful service and headed home.

Chapter IV

          Sunday night arrived and at about 6:30, our buzzer rang and Randy had arrived a bit earty.  We welcomed him in and he presented us with a huge bottle of wine.  He told us that it was the least he could do for our wonderful invite for supper.  He went on to expain that it would be great not having to cook for himself again and to make some new friends.  His attitude and huge smile almost melted both Nigel's and my hearts completely.  He was great to talk to.  I did most of the cooking, although my boyfriend was no slouch when he cooked either.  I actually love when he cooked, as it let me admire that beautiful butt of his. It was so round and plump, yet firm.  Looked absolutely delicious.
         As it had been, the night before, Nigel had a huge amount of trouble keeping his eyes off of Randy.  I couldn't blame him as I had the same trouble, as Randy was just plainly and simply built like a god.  He was magnificent.  He had on a tight polo shirt and, as we had  explained before, it would be just informal attire, track shorts.  Those shorts were almost as tight as his shirt and showed his marvelous bulge.  It was hard to keep our eyes up at all.  Nigel was flirting terribly and I was getting just a little jealous of the attention he was paying to our guest.
          We finally sat down to eat supper and everyone loved the meal and we all talked a lot.  Our meal took almost an hour and a half to finish.  By the time we were fianlly done, Nigel was almost hanging over the corner of the table onto Randy and was flirting nonstop.   Randy was returning it also, to the point that, at times, I felt almost left out.  I am considered, or so I have been told, to be quite good looking.  Maybe not quite as good as Nigel but good anyway.  The two of them offered to clean up the table, while I went to our TV room to set up our TV to make sure it was ready to watch our movie.
          They soon were joining me with the wine and glasses, so I started the movie.  It was our new one as I wanted to see what reaction I got from Randy.  Nigel and he sat on the couch and I sat in our recliner.  They seemed to sit closer than I thought they should, but didn't say anything.  Even as the movie was starting the two of them were almost giggling while flirting shamelessly.  It was a hot night and Nigel, after only about  5 minutes later , took off his shirt and very soon after Randy did also.  Neither of them seemed to watch much of the movie.  They would watch a couple of minutes it seemed and then were looking at each other.  Nigel was almost drooling. 
          At one point, I looked over at them and they had moved closer together.  At this new angle I was able to see Randy's back and as I looked at this rippling muscles from his shoulders downward, I all at once noticed he had a tattoo on his lower back.  I almost gasped when I say it as it was a large biohazard symbol with a scorpion curled inside it.  I was in shock.  This magnificent black Adonis had HIV,  I could not even speak.  Should I even say anything.  I decided not to say anything about it.  After all, Nigel would never play with anyone else anyway and even if he did, we always played safe, even with each other.  
          The movie got hotter and hotter.  I was definitely getting turned on by it again and even found myself wondering about seeing Nigel getting fucked by a Poz guy.  That was crazy, wasn't it.  I turned towards Randy and Nigel and found them intwined together and making out hotly.  Their mouths were tight together and I could tell that their tongues were wrestling in their mouths.  Their hands were all over each other, rubbing, pinching and groping each other.  As I watched, Nigel, moved back slightly and reached between them and fished Randy's cock out of his shorts.  It was hard and huge.  Nigel slowly stroked it and as he did, Randy's hands reached around and lifted Nigel up a little and one hand went down the back of Nigel's shorts.  From Nigel's moans I could tell that Randy was fingering his hole.
          I watched, mesmerized at what was going on.  I felt my own cock get hard and yet I was jealous as hell and even a little upset at what my boyfriend was doing right in front of me.  By now, Nigel's shorts were down midway on his thighs and his own little cock was hard also.  I could see a lot of precum from Randy's cock all over Nigel's fingers as he stroked that huge 'poz' cock.  Then all at once, Randy pulled back.  He quickly stood up and had a very startled look on his face.  He was almost stammering as he apologized for what he was doing.  Nigel had a shamed look on his face and had trouble looking my way.  Randy tucked his magnificent cock back into his shorts and sat down away from Nigel, who had pulled his shorts back into place also with a very guilty look on his face.  They were both looking at me to see my reaction.  I had no idea what to say at all as I was upset but also totally turned on like crazy from watching my boyfriend almost get fucked by a huge poz cock.  I could not help wondering if it would be hot to watch, but still not really wanting my boyfriend pozzed, or did I?

Such a nice story, a really hope Nigel's boyfriend is going to let Randy raw fuck and creampie Nigel, without having said to Nigel that Randy is poz, a poz god.

Chapter V

After some small talk, quite awkward really.  Randy soon left and seemed quite sorry about what he had done with Nigel.  Nigel was quite contrite, also, and apologized to me profusely.  I told him not to worry about it as although I was jealous, it had been hot as hell to watch them.  I didn't mention the tattoo though as I wanted to think about that a bit.  The scene of Randy's huge black cock and his dark skin compared to Nigel's very pale skin was an image I could not get out of my mind.  I was wondering what it would look like with that BBC fucking my very pale twink boyfriend's ass and filling if full ov cum.  We always fucked with condoms, but I wondered what it would look like with Nigel's beautiful ass dripping cum.  Then I was thinking, OMG, it can't happen because Randy is POZ.  Damn, I found myself getting so hard it hurt.  I almost raped Nigel's hole when we went to bed.
          The next few days flew by fast.  We did keep in touch with Randy.  I fucked Nigel like a madman during this time.  Friday night arrived and the day before we had found out that Randy had a rare Friday night off and invited him over for dinner again.  We had actually went to the restaurant where he worked on Thursday evening.  While there, Nigel was flirting almost uncontrollably with Randy who returned it just as much.  We did find our that, although Randy was single, he did have somewhat of a crush on another waiter there named Justin.  We did see him too, and he was another twink almost identical to Nigel, only he was black.  His build was almost identical to my boyfriend and hot looking as hell too.  We didn't extend our invite to him as Randy told us he hadn't approached Justin yet to see if he was interested in dating yet.
          Randy had told us he was going to bring another bottle of wine and one of his own favorite videos for us to watch.  We could hardly wait for Fridayl evening to get here.  Nigel was almost flying high about it, while I was looking forward to it also, but with some worry too.  What if they started to make out and got carried away like last time.  Would I, or could I, stop it  Did I even want to, knowing Randy was poz and they hadn't even thought about a condom last time.  If Randy tried to fuck Nigel could I get them to wrap it up, did I even want Randy's poz bbc wrapped or did I want to see my loved one take a chance on getting pozzed?  What a dilemma.
          Randy arrived a little early, again, carrying a nice bottle of wine and a couple of dvds for us to watch.  Nigel was cooking tonight so Randy and I went to the TV room.  We had a gass of wine and put one of the vids in to watch until dinner was ready.  My mouth fell open from the start of it.  The first images were 3 bbc guys and all had biohazards tats just above their cocks.  On then bed was a clim cute white twink tied down with his legs in the air and spread wide and his hole lubed and ready.  Each of the black guys had cocks that looked to be at the smallest to be close to 10 inches long.  As I watched, the first guy walked up to the twink and just rammed his cock in deep in one thrust.  The twink groaned but didn't scream.  The cock plowed in deep and immediately started a fast and hard fuck.  Unlike many pornos this fuck only lasted about 2 minutes and the bbc guy told him he was cumming a huge poz load in his ass.  I found my own cock had gotten as hard as a rock.
          Nigel then yelled to us that our meal was ready.  As like last time, Nigel and Randy flirted a lot while we ate.  This time, though, they both seemed to pay more attention to me.  I found myself actually becoming more at ease with the flirting as I was sure nothing would come of it.  We finished quickly and found that we had completely drained the bottle of wine.   Luckily, Nigel and I actually kept up a nice small bar for entertaining.  It was no problem to replenish our drinks as we went to the TV room.
          When we got into the room, Randy went right to the dvd player and took out the vid in it and put in the second one he had brought.  We took basically the same seats we had last time. I vowed to myself to keep an eye on those two so it didn't get out of hand like last time.  The movie started andit was, again, another BB poz vid.  OMG, I had hoped it wasn't anything but BB.  Too late now I guess.   Almost immediately on the screen were two nude twinks almost like twins for Nigel and me in a way.  They were soon joined by a marvelous specimen of a man, similar to Randy.  BBC with a huge biohazard tattoo on his stomach and a scorpion tat that almost covered his entire chest with a dripping stinger.  I heard Nigel gasp at the sight and I had, too.  That BBC man approached one of the twinks and picking him up, planted a huge kiss on him.  Putting him down he then pushed him to his knees and told the twink to start sucking him.  As the twink gulped the BBC into his mouth, the other twink was grabbed and lifted up for a kiss.  The only difference was that as they kissed, the poz man ran his hand into the twinks ass crack and the camera showed him ram two fingers up the twinks ass roughly.
          For some reason, this vid was turning me on terribly.  The poz man backed off of the twink sucking him, and lowered the other one down and onto his huge hard cock, withdrawing his fingers and driving his cock deep into him   I was rock hard and turned to see how Randy and Nigel were doing.  Like last time, they were entwined together, kissing deeply and Randy's hand was again down the back of Nigels' shorts, which were halfway down his thighs.  Nigel was stroking Randy's huge POZ BBC, slowly and from his moans, I just knew that Randy had at least one finger up Nigel's butt.  I spoke up then, asking what the heck they thought they were doing?  They broke apart quickly and guiltily.  They moved apart a little and started to watch the movie.  I was satisfied that it was done and turned to watch the movie which showed the poz guy just cumming in the twink and telling the other one to get ready as he was going to be fucked good next.  He threw the other twink on the bed, spread his legs and rammed his huge cock into him in one mammoth thrust.
          This was so hot, I found myself rubbing my own small cock from it.  I glanced over to our couch, again, and found that Randy and Nigel were both now completely nude with Nigel almost laying down with his legs spread wide and Randy between them and deep kissing again.  I could see that Randy's cock was like a bar of steel between them and he had what looked like 3 of his fingers up Nigel's ass and one of his hands holding Nigel's leg up in the air and caressing his foot in a sensual massage.  Nigel was moaning in ecstacy.  I could not believe my eyes.  I yelled at them again, wanting to know what the hell?  They ignored me completely.
          I got up and almost ran to the couch and before I realized what I was saying, blabbed about the tattoo on Randy's back to Nigel.  They both, either ignored me or were too far gone in lust.  Randy seemed to be getting ready to penetrate Nigel's ass with his poz bbc..  I was in a panic and turned and went to the end table and opened the drawer.  I grabbed a condom and turned back to them, seeing Randy rubbing his precum dripping cock on Nigel's hole.  I ran over and thrust the condom in Randy's face, telling him he needed to put this on.  He took it and dropped it on the floor.  He then leaned back a little and grabbed my hand, pulling me closer and placing my hand against his giant cock.   He pressed my fingers as far around it as he could and leaned forward guiding his cock and my hand towards Nigel's hole.   As the tip hit against the opening, he let go of my hand and whispered for me to decide which direction it was going to go.  I looked down into Nigel's eyes, they were filled with lust and longing, and he nodded to me.  I found myself guiding and even pushing Randy's POZ BBC into Nigel's hole.  As it sank in deeper and deeper, Randy reached between them and pulled my hand away.  He reached up and pulled my head down, planting a big kiss on my lips.  As we broke apart, I looked down to see that the entire length of his cock was buried  deep into my love's ass.
          I gasped at the sight and looked up to see absolute amazement on Nigel's face.  Then Randy started to fuck him.  His astonishment at the amount of cock going in and out of him was wild.   I was scared to death but also so turned on, my hard cock was almost in pain.  Nigel was moaning in pleasure uncontrollably.  Randy pounded his hole fast and hard.  I could not fathom how he could take all of that monster cock like he was.  The fucking went on and on for a good 1/2 hour.  Then, like in the porn video, Randy told Nigel he was going to cum and give him his gift of poz cum.  As Randy said that, my cock blew a huge load all over his  back.  Nigel seemed to be cumming between them from the sounds  he was making.  It was one of the hottest things i had ever been a part of.  OMG, my safe sex love of my life and I had put the poz, no condom, cock into his hole with my own hand.  I was now wondering what the hell I had done and and was Randy's load undetectable or hvl.  I had to  ask and the reply shocked both Nigel and me when Randy told us it was probably very high as he had been POZ for about 1 1/2 years and had never done meds.  Nigel eyes were even bigger than mine at that pronouncement
