Harry had hit bottom, his demons had finally worn him down farther than he could ever have imagined. The result of his emotional collapse found him on the roof of this old twelve story apartment building in deep contemplation. Harry’s past was filled with explosions, weapons fire, and dying people of all ages…many of which he was responsible for. His buddies were in the same fix, but many of those buddies he’d lost to enemy fire and IED’s. The anxiety of each day would greet them in the same way, they would all be together for the morning briefing, split up and climb into their assigned vehicles, and some came back in body bags missing parts. This is what happened to his friend Jeff.
Jeff and Harry had been the FNG an eternity ago. Their bonding had been natural for them, it was a cliché really… both enlisted as fresh naive eighteen year olds, both first time away from their little home towns. After their specialized training, the boys had transformed into strong men and graduated to an assignment at the same point in hell on earth.
Jeff and all his other friends that he’d known during his two tours who hadn’t made it were each burned into his memory, and they were the ones which haunted him the most.
Harry had reached the end, but as his ass inched closer to the edge he heard the stair well door open and slam closed behind him.
“Oh wow, what a view! I had no idea we could come up here… Do you come up here often?” the intruder exclaimed.
Harry turned a pained face toward this person who invaded his space. “Once in a while.”
“I am so getting a tan this year! A chaise lounge, a cooler, my iPod… perfect! What floor do you live on?”
“I don’t live here.” He pointed to the cheap hotel a few blocks over. “I live there.”
“In that hotel? Dude we gotta find you some new digs.”
“It’s fine… I’m just passing through.”
“Yea, I noticed you siting really close to the edge. I’d like to ask that you don’t do that today… hang out with me instead.” The intruder peeled off his shirt and used it to sit on beside Harry. “My name is Nate, and I’d like to sit with you for a while.” It took a few moments but Harry eventually nodded and scooted back from the edge. “Thank you, so what’s your name?”
“Harry.”
“So Harry what has you circling the drain my friend?” Harry didn’t speak. “I can see that you are a sensitive soul Harry, all those people that haunt your mind really are in a better place.”
Harry turned sharply to face him angrily, “How do you even know me, how do you know what is in my head, or what my life has been like? They were my men and I got them killed.”
“No Harry, you didn’t get them killed you did your job and they did theirs.” He paused. “You are a skilled soldier, loyal to a fault, huge heart, and a capacity to love powerfully. Everything that happened to you there is behind you and you have the power to let those who were lost rest.”
“Who the fuck are you?”
“Just a guy.”
“So Einstein how do I let them go? Oh yea, shrinks and drugs work really well. The shrinks I’ve had patronize me and the drugs they give dull me, I can’t even jack off any more. There is only one more thing to do.”
Nate looked deeply into Harry’s eyes. “I see. Well before you do it, can I kiss you?”
“No dude, I’m not gay.”
“That doesn’t matter… I want to give you one last pleasure before you go. When you’re gone, who will care that a guy kissed you anyway?” Silence. “I want to give you just a moment of relief, show you that you are loved… who cares that I’m a dude if I can give you that one moment?” Nate explained.
“You’re pretty sure of yourself.” Harry chuffed.
Nate smiled, “I know my worth and my abilities.” Nate raised his hand and palmed Harry’s cheek turning his head. Nate slowly moved closer and kissed Harry softly. “Feel the texture of my lips. Feel my beard against your cheek. Feel the tip of my tongue as it begs for entrance.” Harry sighed and his lips parted involuntarily. “Feel our tongues wrestling together, notice the taste of my tongue.” Nate’s hands went under Harry’s t-shirt. “Feel my fingertips card through the hair on your chest, feel as my knuckle brushes over your nipple. Feel the goose flesh rise everywhere my fingers touch. Give yourself over for this one moment. Free yourself from your burden for just one moment.” The kiss was slow, lazy, and complete. Nate pulled away slowly and it was plain on Harry’s face that he had been thoroughly kissed. His lips swollen, his eyes glassy and lids heavy.
“Oh wow.” Harry sighed.
“I hope that I kept my promise to you.” Nate said with a wide smile.
“That and more. I want more of you.” As if the flood gates violently crashed open, Harry surged and aggressively devoured Nate’s mouth, as a result they both toppled back off the precipice and onto the roof, all the while Harry kissing Nate as though his life depended upon it.
“Harry, would you make love to me?”
“Oh god yes I want to, but I’m not sure I can… shit doesn’t work like it used to.”
“Let me worry about that. Come down to my apartment and we can take all the time we need.” Harry stood and offered his hand and let Nate lead the way to apartment 1214, it was nicely appointed but for Harry, he felt instantly comfortable and at home. As the two men walked through the living area Harry froze. “What’s wrong Harry?”
“Nothing, I just noticed that the voices and screaming have stopped. My mind is finally calm.”
Nate just smiled as he pulled Harry’s shirt over his head and ran his open palms down his naked chest to his waist. Nate seductively opened Harry’s pants and pushed them over his hips to the floor. Nate knelt and removed Harry’s work boots then slowly pulled Harry’s jockies off as he watched Harry’s cock pulse and twitch with need, a long stream of precum drooled from his half hooded cock. “From what I can see, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with you Harry. Now, on the bed on your back, I’m going to ride you.”
Harry watched in amazement as his cock twitched and drooled heavier. Nate opened his own pants and stepped out of them, his cock also hard and leaking. Armed with a bottle of lube Nate applied it liberally to Harry’s cock as he licked his hairless sack, he sucked one orb into his mouth then switching to the other before crawling up the bed to straddle Harry.
“Careful I think I’m close.”
“Not to worry gorgeous, I’ve got you.” Nate said emphasizing with a kiss as he lowered himself onto Harry’s hard cock. Harry was a big boy, but Nate took him with barely a care. He groaned as Harry’s cock filled him to the limit.
“Oh my fucking god Nate your ass feels fucking fantastic… now I know I’m not going to last!”
“Well then we should use every moment to our advantage.” Nate lifted almost completely off of Harry’s cock before he slammed back down impaling himself again. He teased Harry like this for several minutes before leaning over to let Harry kiss him aggressively again, and once Harry figured out that he could thrust up into that delicious velvety heat at his own pace, he did so with abandon. Harry was coming undone in a big way, and just a split second before he succumbed to his orgasm he flipped Nate onto his back, with this increased leverage Harry ground his hips hard against Nate’s forcing his cock deeper into Nate. Harry held onto Nate with every ounce of strength he had and shouted out his release.
Harry hadn’t been able to get an erection or achieve orgasm at all during the months that he’d been under treatment… a side effect of the drugs, but this release was epic. His cock was harder than he ever remembered and his orgasm was stronger and harder than any he had ever felt before, he just kept pumping his seed deep into Nate.
Nate’s arms wrapped around Harry’s back, fingertips ghosting over his blemish free skin making goose flesh rise. “Wow Harry, that was quite an orgasm, it felt like you pumped a gallon of cum into me.”
“Shit, I’m sorry man… I didn’t mean to cum in you… but I am bug free though.” Harry rose to his shaky arms. “Nate, that was incredible. What have you done to me?” Harry looked at Nate with a bit of awe.
“Harry I did nothing more than to love you.” he rolled his hips stroking himself on Harry’s cock.
“Are you ready for more?” Harry asked coyly.
“All afternoon Harry… on the floor, in the bed, in the shower… everywhere.”
Harry laughed… the first honest laugh in months. Round two was on the floor from the rear, Harry drove his cock hard into Nate and he took everything Harry gave, he stopped and flipped Nate onto his back again, Harry liked him on his back much better, he kissed Nate furiously as he fucked his own cum out of Nate’s bruised hole, but before he could inject his second load, Nate’s cock fired off spontaneously with six long thick ropes of cum. Nate’s hole clamped down on his cock which threw him into his second orgasm within an hour. It went on like that all afternoon, and Harry had never felt more sexually satisfied than he did at that moment, and on top of that he really did feel calmer.
As with all things, they must end eventually. Nate had to leave for work, they swapped numbers and Harry went back to his crappy hotel, smiling and with a new snap in his step… a feeling that he hadn’t had since before his first deployment.

The next day Harry went back to apartment 1214 only to find a realtor’s lock box on the door knob, sending his emotions into chaos. He ran down to the concierge and asked about Nate. “I’m sorry sir, that unit has been vacant for eight months.” He looked further. “But wait, I see that it is under contract, the new owner should be here in a couple of days.”
“That’s impossible, I spent yesterday in that apartment with the tenant named Nate James. It was fully furnished and full of his personal items.”
“Are you sure it was apartment 1214?”
“Yes I am sure, twelfth floor, first door to the left of the stairs.”
“I’m not sure what to tell you sir, but according to these records that unit has been empty since the previous owner died suddenly from a fatal heart attack eight months ago. The owner’s daughter recently liquidated everything in the unit, in fact I was just there last week for the scheduled facilities inspection and it was completely bare inside.”
“I don’t understand this at all.” Harry’s shoulders slumped. “Ok thank you for your help.” Harry turned dejected and slowly walked back to his hotel.
Back in his room he sat in the silence, both in the room and surprisingly in his head. He thought about Nate, recalling the texture of his lips, how his beard felt on his face and on his balls, the scent on his neck, the mind blowing kisses, the way his cock felt deep inside the man and the explosive orgasms that he’d experienced. As Harry stroked his hard cock, he thought of the man’s rugged good looks, his toned body, strong hairy legs… his perfectly shaped uncut cock that spontaneously shot a huge thick load all over his chest and chin as Harry fucked him hard… his sexy treasure trail, rosy nipples, the baby fine dusting of dark hair on his chest… oh and the cute little tattoo of the Flintstones to the left of his navel. Thinking about Nate brought a smile unbidden, and the swiftness of his orgasm which burned through his loins followed by a shroud of melancholy that fell about him. This was a much different feeling losing Nate than losing Jeff, heartbreak versus trauma.
After a sound night of sleep Harry woke refreshed, once he had done the needful he decided to pack some food and sit on the roof of that old apartment building again only this time not with the intention of jumping off. He packed the rucksack heavy because he planned to be on the roof all day being in the place where Nate had released him from his demons. He had just walked into the apartment building when he nearly ran head first into Nate. “Nate! Oh my god where have you been?” Harry threw his arms around the smaller man and kissed him furiously.
Once Nate could finally think, “Wow that’s a great ‘welcome to the building’ gift. Do I know you?” he asked with a smile.
Harry was surprised. “Of course you do, we met day before last on the roof.”
“I don’t think so, no… that wasn’t me. I just flew in last night from Atlanta and day before last I was at the mortgage company signing the last few things for the closing on my house. I’m sorry friend but we haven’t met before. I’m Nate James, nice to meet you and you kiss like a man possessed, I hope you come by and do that often.” He said with a smile.
“Nate, I’m so confused. We have met,” he insisted. “my name is Harry Gentile.” He paused and looked to see who might be listening. “You saved me from jumping off the building with only a kiss.” He said in a low voice and paused trying to think. “Ok you have a tattoo,” he touched Nate’s sweater over where it was located. “Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble right there, and you have a surgical scar on your right knee.” Harry fumbled with his phone, “This is your phone number. Nate, day before last you took me to your apartment, number 1214 and we fucked all afternoon until you had to leave just after five.”
Nate’s shocked and surprised expression puzzled him. “How did you know about my tat and the scar? And where did you get my phone number?” After several moments Nate calmed a bit as he replayed what Harry had said and smiled. “You say we fucked all afternoon… shit, I’m sorry I missed it… you’re fucking hot!”
Harry’s mind tried to figure out what happened but when he couldn’t he chose the only path he could. “Nate, I have no idea what is happening here… and frankly at this point I don’t care because you’re here. Do you have to be somewhere right now?”
“No, I was just going to get coffee and breakfast.”
“Can I suggest something different?” Harry opened the rucksack and Nate peered inside. “Coffee, breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, and fruit. I know a really cool place where we can enjoy this and talk.”
“I think I would like that Harry, lead on.”
“Could you get that tacky leopard print blanket you have?”
“How do you know about that?”
“I told you, we fucked all afternoon… on your bed, on the floor, in the shower, on the kitchen counter… You were such a mess with my cum leaking all down your legs… it was so fucking hot.”
“I don’t ever let anyone do that.”
“Oh, well I didn’t mean to do it the first time and I apologized… but after I told you that I’m bug free, that I’ve been tested for everything under the sun while I was in the hospital, you were ok with it.”
“Just for your information that blanket it is not tacky…”
“Sorry,” Harry chuckled, “it’s cool, but yea it kind of is… don’t worry, I still like it.” Harry continued to lead Nate to the roof access but Nate stopped them at apartment 1214 for the blanket. He followed Nate into the unit and just stared as he looked around at the bare walls and undressed windows, “Where is the red leather sofa and the huge flat screen?”
“The movers are bringing it all today. Harry, you’d better make some sense when you tell me this story from the beginning because this is getting a little creepy.” He said as he walked through the unit to get the blanket.
“Trust me, the only thing that is keeping me from freaking out right now is the grounding affect you have on me… and I agree this is way too creepy.”
Harry grabbed Nate’s hand in his again and led him up the stairs to the roof and to the precipice where he had been sitting that day. “This is where the story begins. Let’s lay out the blanket, have a sandwich, some fruit, and a cup of coffee and I’ll tell you my story.”
The blanket was down and they settled as Harry pulled out the thermos. He served the coffee in the small built in cup and the cap, “I didn’t expect to see you today, I really only packed this so I could spend the entire day up here.” He set out the sandwiches and the container of fruit. “Ok, here is the story. I live in that flea-bag hotel around the corner and I come up here often to think and be alone. I’m a combat vet with PTSD and I have been treated at the hospital just down the road for the last seven months. Between the useless therapy sessions and the sexual side effects of the drugs I didn’t see any agreeable solution, so the day before last I came up here to put an end to it all. I sat over there for an hour edging closer to the edge and then you came through that door.” He turned and pointed to the roof access door. “You looked around and declared that you would have a tan this year. You talked with me like no other therapists ever had, you didn’t beg me to come back off the edge you just sat beside me and said that you wanted to kiss me… to give me one last pleasure, then I told you that I was straight.”
“You’re straight? No way not after that kiss you gave me!” Nate smiled.
Harry chuckled “You said ‘I want to give you one last pleasure before you go. It won’t matter, who would care anyway? I want to give you just a moment of relief, show you that you are loved… who cares that I’m a dude if I can give you that one moment?’ I said that you seemed pretty sure of yourself. You smiled and said, ‘I know my worth and my abilities.’ Then you kissed me like I’ve never been kissed before and when you broke the kiss I stared into your eyes for a long moment before the dam broke inside me, I lunged for you and kissed you hard, for a moment it scared me that I may have hurt you but you seemed to like it. Then you invited me to your apartment and we fucked all afternoon. You did what you said you’d do, you silenced the screams and you calmed my mind, Nate I am forever in your debt… so maybe it wasn’t you, maybe it was my guardian angel that I met that just looked and felt…” Harry leaned in and inhaled Nate’s scent, “and smelled like you … if so, I still want to kiss you and I still want to fuck you everywhere in your house and up here on the roof. I don’t ever want to leave you.”
“Wow… well there are two things. First, by your own admission you were straight two days ago and then more importantly, I am HIV positive.”
I nodded. “Ok, are you on meds? How is your viral load?”
Surprised at my reaction and questions he answered, “Yes, I’m on meds and I’ve been undetectable for several years.”
Harry waited to see if Nate was going to say more before he reached for Nate’s hand. “So I don’t see a problem… and yes I was straight, but now I rather like the word ‘inexperienced’ better… you already know that I have no problem kissing you in public so I’m not going to be some pathetic idiotic closet case… I am simply astounded by the feelings I have for you and I only see them getting stronger. Nate, I know enough about HIV and you are taking care of yourself so I’m not worried about being with you, besides… my guardian angel wouldn’t steer me away from one disaster only to dump me into another.” Harry kissed Nate’s hand, “Things are going to be rocky for me for a while as I get my treatment wrapped up and my life back on track. I need to get a new job that will allow me to move out of that hotel, and then I want you to meet my family. My sister is going to love you… I’m going to have to beat her down with a stick!”
“Hang on Harry… Meet your family? It is way too soon for any of that! We just met… we haven’t even been on a date yet.”
“Perhaps, but I have always introduce the girls I date to them, you being a dude will throw them for a loop at first but they will be ok.” Harry smiled, “so what about it Nate, would you let me take you out on a date?”
Nate’s light brown eyes melted, “Yes Harry I would like that.” And at that moment his cell phone rang. “Hello… Yes this is Nate James… Great, come up to the twelfth floor apartment 1214. See you at the elevator.” He ended the call. “The movers are here.”
“Great, I can help if you’ll let me.”
“Careful stud, I just might work you to the bone.” He smirked.
Harry kissed him deeply. “That’s fine, as long as we can keep kissing like that with a promise of more intimacy later. But be warned, if you work me to exhaustion, I’ll stay the night and sleep with you all cuddled up… you might even get fucked a couple of times too.”
“We really fucked all over the house?”
“Yes… which surprised me, I had only been off my meds for a few days. My first orgasm with you was the first one I’ve had in six months and it was just as huge as the next three.”
Astonished, Nate asked. “Jeezzz you came four times?”
“Uh huh, and you came three times… and one of them was spontaneous… surprised the shit out of me when your cock just started shooting everywhere and I really liked licking the glob of cum off of your chin too.”
“Oh Harry, I like the sound of that.”
“Me too Nate… me too.” I smiled warmly at Nate as I thought about how my life had been drastically changed by this beautiful man. “You go meet the movers and I’ll join you in a few minutes once I get this packed up.” Nate nodded he leaned in and kissed me before he stood to go meet the movers, two things happened… a warm feeling flushed through me, and my cock sprang hard in an instant… I smiled knowing that Nate and I would be ok.
From The Imagination of
