“The best truck stops are on a different planet to the worst. Fifty miles and a galaxy removed. Eddie works at one of the best. He isn’t the reason it’s so good. But his hot white ass sure contributes. Real name? Eddie. Scissors? He’s the inhouse barber.”
“Benny Boy. The blonde. Hair cropped too tight for curls, and a broken nose. Been lifting for fifteen years, this one. Summer tanned to a medium rare. Nice big ears, ready for the grip. Thighs you could use as foundations for a house. Nice lad, Benny is. Handsome lad, too, even if he has taken one too many punches. Won’t mind that one gasping on my cock.”
“Let’s go for the gag. Let’s go for the retch. Let’s go for the spit and the snot and the cough. Let’s have tears. Let’s have tears on his pretty pink face. Let’s really see what this lad can do.

Let’s call this place a hidden gem. There are trails, so dog walkers at the least know it. The ground slopes away towards the city, but it’s far enough away that it’s not really on anyone’s radar. Midsummer and it is lush with new growth, and in its deepest places wild with brambles. Dark enough in mid-afternoon. It’ll be the black of hell at the after-midnight slot we imagine.
There’s an intimacy about the act of being tattooed that just can’t be avoided. Online, and for weeks by email, we’ve pored over versions of the design. It is rounded perfectly to the pec, and I’ve found myself sharing detailed measurements of the ‘nipple to clavicle’ kind. He’s taken me through the process of colour mixing, and he’s started to understand how precisely I expect my intentions to be met.
Dressed for summer night in that bright shirt. The sunglasses that hide his gaze when they slip to where they shouldn’t, as they often do. Dressed for the sticky heat of summer night in those shorts. Tight shorts. Distressed denim shorts. Out in the streets at night in torn shorts, like that, boy? A boy could get in trouble in such short tight shorts as those, ripped as they are.
