The Earl's Son
Julian struggled with the new play and at one point nearly gave it up but Robin's support enabled him to continue. He just couldn't get it to flow and bring across the emotions and feelings of each character. Robin meanwhile started auditioning for the other parts. There were only three and two of those were small and had few lines. The most important attribute was their bodies and they had to be young with no hang up about being naked on stage, albeit for a short time.
He'd contacted a couple of local drama schools including the one he and Julian had attended and he soon had a long list to choose from. He pruned the list down to ten using age as the main criteria since Julian had said that Daniel's bed partners were to be young.
The first five were hopeless. One refused to strip off as part of the audition saying he couldn't see why he had to, and two others said they weren't that keen on being naked on stage. The other two just didn't have the ability to look sexy and Robin couldn't see himself working with them.
The next two were okay for the minor parts and both were more than willing to strip off in front of him and Julian. Both had very nice bodies so were put on the list of likely candidates. Buy they still hadn't found a guy suitable to play the more major role and Robin was getting worried, especially when the next two were completely hopeless and Julian couldn't imagine either of them making a career in drama.
As soon as the last guy entered the room, Robin knew immediately he was the one.
"Hi, I'm Trevor" he announced as he walked in very self-sure of himself. He was eighteen and very good looking.
Having gone through what limited experience he had of acting, mainly in plays at the drama school he attended, Robin explained the role he was being auditioned for and asked him to imagine he was playing the part.
"May I use you to interact with?" Trevor asked grinning.
Robin agreed and stood up. Trevor immediately started coming on to Robin and being very sexual with him. He was so convincing that Robin started to feel his organ rise. Julian then got him to walk across the room as if he was leaving and saying goodbye to Robin and he did it perfectly.
"The scene opens with the pair of us naked in bed under a sheet and simulating sex" Robin explained, "Do you have any problem with that?"
"No problem at all" Trevor grinned, "I take it we get out of bed and show it all after that".
Robin nodded and was about to ask if he had any problem with being naked on stage.
"You want me to strip off so you can check me out?
"Yes please" Julian replied having rather enjoyed watching the scene being played out so far.
Without further ado, Trevor stripped off and stood their stark naked in front of them. Robin then asked him to walk round the room and imagine he was being looked at by an audience of predominately gay men. Trevor grinned and promptly walked round the room several times, before finally standing beside Robin and placing his arm on his shoulder.
"How's that?" he grinned clearly coming onto Robin.
"Perfect" Robin replied, "We'll be in touch shortly when we've made our final decision".
Having checked out Trevor's availability for rehearsals and a play run of at least two months, he left them. Once he'd left, Robin said he was perfect for the role.
"He sure is" Julian chuckled, "But I think I'll have to watch him. He was coming onto you like mad".
"Are you jealous?" Robin laughed.
"Mm, maybe but I think you're going to rather enjoy being naked in bed with him!"
Julian had at last got the script to how he wanted although he had a feeling there would be several amendments made once they started rehearsing. Fortunately there was only one set which mainly consisted of a double bed, a mock window at the back of the stage and a wheelchair in which Christian sat most of the time listening to his lover have sex in bed with his boyfriends.
That afternoon, Robin contacted Trevor and the other two guys to say they'd been accepted and could they attend a meeting in two days' time to discuss the play and be given a copy of the script. All three guys were delighted to hear they'd been successful and looked forward to working with Julian and Robin. They had yet to meet Jamie who would be playing the part of Christian but that would happen when they all got together.
The meeting went well and the three new guys got on very well with each other and Jamie. Two of the three were gay, having made that clear when they auditioned, but the third said he had no problem in playing the part of a gay character and being naked in bed with Robin. Julian had a suspicion that he was probably bisexual but he'd not given any indication to that effect. He could also see Jamie eyeing up the other two and suspected they too would be bed fellows of his once he'd got to know them better from what Kevin had let drop since they'd returned from their holiday in the country.
Having been nagged by his mother to do so, Julian had contacted the Registry Office in Oxford and fixed a date for the end of August, a week before their birthdays. Only immediate family a few select friends would be invited to the legal ceremony but a larger number would receive invitations to the reception.
"We need to go and be interviewed by the Registrar" Julian told Robin when he'd come off the phone, "We'll go down next week if you like and stay over a night at home".
Robin grinned and gave Julian a big hug and a kiss, "Do I call you my husband?" he teased.
"No you fucking don't" Julian laughed, "I'm your partner!"
"Sexy, gorgeous partner" Robin giggled.
"Yeah, well, I won't object to being called that!"
As usual, Robin learned his lines and got into character very quickly and Trevor did the same but Jamie seemed to be having problems with his character.
"Surely if this Christian guy can't get it up because he's paralysed, he'd use his hands and his mouth to satisfy his lover" Jamie said impatiently grabbing hold of Trevor who was standing nearby. He got Trevor to sit astride his legs and plunged his hands down the back of his trousers.
Robin, who was sitting opposite them, watched Trevor's bright blue sweatpants being pulled down his butt by Jamie's hands along with his orange briefs until his naked flesh was on view. Visions of what Robin would like to do with Trevor flashed through his mind until Julian brought him back to reality.
"You may have a point Jamie; perhaps we'll include a short scene in which Christian does just that and pulls Trevor's towel off and gets him to sit on your lap like that. What do you think Trevor?"
"Yeah, good idea; it will give the audience something to wet themselves over won't it; perhaps Christian should suck my dick as well."
Although that was very tempting, Julian decided that was going a bit too far for a stage production even though the adverts would state very clearly that it included nudity and scenes of a sexual nature. Robin grinned and suspected that Jamie had already had Trevor in his bed and sucked him off by the way the two were all over each other.
"If you two are finished, perhaps we can continue" Robin said eventually.
Trevor took the hint and climbed off Jamie's lap but it was very obvious that he was sexually aroused!
The other two guys just sat there and looked on. Robin was still trying to decide if one of them was gay or at least bisexual. He certainly seemed to enjoy watching Trevor's naked butt as did the other one.
A few days later, Julian gave everyone the revision to the script and they rehearsed the new scene. Jamie had at last got into Christian's character and played it to perfection much to Julian's relief since at one point he had visions of having to find someone else to play the part. Julian knew it wasn't one of his best productions since there was little content to work with but he had a feeling it would be successful with the gay community because of the amount of nudity and sexual content.
Eventually it was time to do a dress rehearsal within the confines of the stage itself. The set was complete and once again the set designer had come up trumps albeit that it was principally a simple set.
During the first act, Robin and his lovers only had to undress, climb into bed and pretend to have sex beneath the sheet. Robin made sure that when he removed his briefs he faced the audience for a moment so they could all get a good look at him. The spotlights on the bed then dim and concentrate on Jamie in the wheelchair. The set had been designed in such a way as to indicate that the bedroom area is separated from the rest of the room with a curtain although the audience can in fact see both sides at once. Jamie then makes an imaginary phone call to a friend and complains about his lover continually bringing back guys to bed.
Eventually the spots light up the bed and Robin gets out, picks up a towel which he casually carries in his hand and walks through the curtain to where Jamie is seated. The young guy in bed with him hurriedly gets out of bed and dresses just showing his naked butt for a few moments.
A similar scene takes place with the other young guy before the end of the first act having followed a scene in which Robin's character, Daniel, says how much he loves Christian. During this particular scene, Christian has Daniel with his back to the audience and unfastens his trousers. They drop to the floor and expose Robin's naked butt. Christian then takes hold of Daniel's cock as if he's going to suck it when the doorbell rings and the other young guy arrives for a session with Daniel.
The second act opens with Robin and Trevor already in bed and Jamie sitting in his wheelchair. Trevor is on top of Robin and his butt moves up and down. The feel of having Trevor's hot naked body on top of his makes Robin shiver with excitement. He's also fairly certain he can feel Trevor's organ getting slightly hard. They grin at each other as they kiss before Trevor makes loud sounds of sexual pleasure. Christian covers his ears with his hands and agonises with himself as he listens to what the other two are doing.
Eventually, Robin and Trevor climb out of bed, walk out of the bedroom area just holding a towel but making no attempt to hide their nakedness. Robin glanced down at Trevor's appendage and is certain that he is showing a slight erection. It is in this scene that Christian grabs hold of Trevor and sits him across his lap. They kiss passionately whilst Christian feels up and down his back and over his naked butt. Robin hastily dresses and slams out the door.
Apart from a few minor changes Julian was happy with the result. He'd also noticed one of the lads had forgotten one of his lines but Robin in his usual way continued without any sign of the error taking place so the audience would have been none the wiser.
When Robin was getting dressed, he whispered to Trevor "I do believe you got a hard-on during that bed scene".
"Not surprising being naked in bed with you!"
First night came and went and it was a great success. The audience gave the five actors a standing ovation at the end so Julian's fears were swept away. Robin had noticed that the audience was one hundred percent male which wasn't surprising and in fact it remained that way for most of the run except for the odd two or three females. It was very much a gay play and the audience loved it.
Julian had planned to run it for two months but seeing the number of people trying to get tickets and being disappointed he decided to extend it for another month. It always seemed a lot of work for such short runs but he knew that fringe theatre productions seldom went on for much longer.
During the fourth week, Robin received a call from a local radio station. They were doing a short play in four episodes and wanted him to play a gay character. He'd never done radio before so wasn't sure but Julian said he would be fine.
"At least you don't have to remember the words since you'll be reading them from a script into the microphone."
Robin agreed and told the producer that he'd be delighted to accept the part. Rehearsals were to take place the following week. When he received the script he read it right through so as to understand the plot and get into character. When he arrived at the rehearsal he almost knew it all off by heart. The producer couldn't believe it.
Robin enjoyed recording the four episodes, despite having to re-record several parts because one of the actors fluffed their lines. He decided it was easy money and it would mean he would be heard by a much wider audience.
Julian meanwhile was already working on his next production. He had been particularly impressed with Trevor's performance so asked him if he'd be willing to do another play with Jamie and Robin. Trevor said he'd love to and of course it meant he'd spend more time with the lovely Robin! His liaison with Jamie hadn't lasted long so they no longer met up for wild sessions of sex anymore. It seemed the other guy who nobody was too sure as to which way he swung, had replaced Trevor and was now the man of the moment, or to be more correct, the cock of the moment since Jamie was very much a bottom!
Whilst Robin was rehearsing for Julian's new play, he received another call from the local radio station with an offer to do a second play which this time would involve thirteen episodes. It was more complex than the last and stretched Robin to the full but with Julian's encouragement and support he managed to get through it all.
"You'll soon be on in the West End or on TV" Julian chuckled.
"Would you mind?" Robin asked.
"Of course not" Julian replied, although secretly he was slightly jealous of Robin's success and was concerned that he might lose him.
"Not sure I want to be that famous though" Robin replied sidling up to Julian on the sofa and placing his head into Julian's lap.
"I love you" Julian whispered as he gently stroked Robin's head.
Robin turned his head and looked up into Julian's blue eyes, "And I love you too" he said quietly placing a hand on top of Julian's.
As usual, Julian could feel his organ reacting and it wasn't long before his erection was pressing against Robin's face through his trousers. Robin giggled as he felt it and slowly unzipped Julian's fly. He slipped a hand inside and felt the hot organ straining to get out.
"Think this needs some attention" he giggled as he repositioned himself so he could unfasten Julian's trousers to delve inside. Soon the swollen organ had been released and Robin sucked it. Julian gasped and laid his head back on the back of the sofa leaving Robin to satisfy him. It didn't take long to do so and he erupted into Robin's mouth. He loved the way Robin sucked him off and never ceased to please him.
"God that was good" Julian exclaimed when he was finally done, "Come on, I want to suck you off now".
Robin never objected to such an offer so quickly removed his trousers along with his briefs. He lay back on the sofa and let Julian have his wicked way. As he was doing so, Kevin appeared at the doorway. When he saw what was going on he stopped and watched. He loved watching these two guys play with each other and for a moment felt very envious despite the fact that he'd just spoken to Trevor who it seemed fancied him and wanted to meet up. They'd met when Kevin had helped out backstage with the last play and having found he'd been dumped by Jamie, Trevor decided to try his luck with Kevin since it would mean he'd still be able to see Robin even though he knew he was one hundred percent committed to Julian but just seeing him was worthwhile.
"You can come on in if you want Kevin" Robin laughed when he saw him standing in the doorway.
Kevin grinned and came up closer to watch Julian bring Robin off. As he did so, Robin squirmed and his whole body jumped up and down. Julian could feel the hot seed shooting out into his mouth and it tasted just wonderful.
When he was done, Robin pulled Kevin by the hand and sat him down on the sofa beside him. Within seconds he'd unfastened Kevin's trousers and pulled them off him along with his briefs. His cock was already hard and aching to be satisfied.
"Come on Julian, there's another cock here that wants satisfying."
As Kevin lay back on the sofa he felt two hot mouths taking it in turns to bring him to a climax. The switching from one to another made it last longer than normal which he rather enjoyed. He lifted his T shirt over his nipples and tweaked them as they sucked down below. He loved his nipples being pinched even if he did it himself. Suddenly he could feel his seed rising and he knew that magic moment was upon him.
"Fu...ck" he yelled as his seed erupted. He wasn't sure who was sucking at the time but it felt so good and he didn't care. After a few spasms he then felt a tongue licking his shaft which made him spasm some more. The action seemed to go on forever until finally he came down from on high.
"Was that good then?" Robin giggled grasping Kevin's still hard organ.
"Fucking brilliant" he grinned in reply and almost prayed that one of them would strip him naked and plunge one of their organs into him. He so wanted to have one but he had a feeling he never would.
"Are you ready then for the big day?" Julian asked Robin several weeks later.
"Of course, are you?"
Julian grinned and pulled his lover into his arms, "Yes, I can't wait for us to be married, I love you so much, you know that don't you Robin, I really do; I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I'd meet someone like you. You're still sure you want to marry me aren't you?"
"What kind of question is that?" Robin exclaimed hugging Julian even tighter, "Of course I do; why do you ask?"
"I just want this to be perfect and don't want you to feel you're being rushed in any way" Julian replied as he gazed into Robin's brown eyes.
"Don't be daft, of course I want to marry you and in no way do I feel I'm being rushed; don't worry mate I'd soon tell you if I felt that."
Julian smiled and kissed Robin. Yes, he knew that Robin was never backward in saying exactly what he thought which was another thing he so loved about this guy.
"When will the rings be ready to collect?" Julian asked wiping away a tear of joy from his eye.
"Thursday; I thought we'd collect the suits as well that day since they're also ready for collection."
They'd been to a jeweller in New Bond Street and chosen matching gold rings that had two small diamonds set in them. Robin had never seen such beautiful rings and when he saw the price he nearly died. He still couldn't get it into his head that his partner was so wealthy. They'd also decided to both wear matching suits that were a mid grey with a slightly lighter grey waistcoat and a pink tie. They were being made to measure by a tailor in Savile Row. Robin found it somewhat amusing being measured by a guy and having his inside leg measurement taken but somehow he got through the experience without giggling.
Craig had agreed to be their best man although nobody was really too sure what you called such a person when two guys were getting hitched. Craig was particularly good at organising things and very thorough. They also decided they didn't want a stag night as such but instead took Craig, Jamie and Trevor, who'd become regular visitors to the apartment over the last few months, out to dinner along with Kevin the night before they were all due to travel down to Drayton House. The six of them had a great evening and since Craig still lived near Abingdon with his parents, he stayed at the apartment that night, although he in fact spent the night in Kevin's bed, unbeknown to Robin and Julian!
"Are you guys ready?" Craig called out, "It's time to leave".
They had all driven down the day before with Julian, Robin, Jamie and Trevor travelling in the Jaguar, and Craig following on behind in his car with Kevin. The plan was that the six of them would attend the ceremony at the registry office with Julian's parents, his sister Alisha and Oliver. After that, they would return to the house where a large marquee had been erected for the reception.
"You look gorgeous" Julian told Robin as he admired him in his grey suit, "Everyone who sees you is going to be jealous of me" he added as he kissed the guy he loved with all his heart.
Robin grinned and kissed back. He was feeling nervous yet excited at the same time.
"You both look wonderful" his mother exclaimed when they finally walked down the stairs to meet the others.
"You sure are a lovely couple" Julian's dad commented as he looked on.
The Registrar was lovely and made everyone feel at ease. Julian and Robin had written their own declaration of love for each other that included the lines to make the ceremony legal. They exchanged rings and once done the Registrar pronounced them Civil Partners. They kissed and those present erupted into applause. Tears were already falling down Robin's face; he was so happy. Julian gently wiped them away and kissed him again which made his mother cry as well. Even his dad had to admit it was a beautiful scene despite being two men!
When they returned home, the rest of their guests were gathered in the marquee. As they walked in there was a loud roar of applause. Robin didn't know any of them since most were uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews and nieces from Julian's family but they all gathered round the newly partnered couple and congratulated them.
Members of the catering company were buzzing round offering glasses of champagne and a small orchestra in one corner was playing some of Robin's favourite music. They'd even shipped in a grand piano on which the day before he'd managed to have a quick play.
Soon everyone was asked to sit down for the meal which was served with the utmost efficiency. Julian and Robin had Julian's parents sitting on one side of them and Craig on the other at the top table. The other guests were sitting at round tables gathered in front of them. When the meal was almost finished, Craig stood up and said a few words. He said how he'd known Julian from school days and from the moment he'd seen him and Robin together he knew they were in love. Much to Julian's relief he kept his speech clean and left out the many things they'd got up to as kids.
He then announced that Earl Drayton would like to say a few words. Julian was shocked since nothing had been said to him about this. He gripped Robin's hand as his dad stood up.
"To be honest" he started, "when Julian came out to his mother and I as being gay, I was shocked and disappointed, not because I minded too much but I was sad at the thought of him missing out on true love. How wrong I was. If someone had told me then that two men could have such love for each other I would never have believed them but since knowing Robin here, I have seen my son blossom and I've seen true love in his eyes whenever he is with Robin. Likewise I have seen the love in Robin's eyes for my son. For that I am truly grateful and welcome him into the family with all my heart."
By now, both Julian and Robin had tears in their eyes and were frantically dabbing them with a tissue.
"As many of you will know, Robin has been dealt a double blow in his short life. Not only did his dad pass away when he was only sixteen, but last year his mother was shot dead in Sri Lanka whilst carrying out her duties in the Sri Lankan government. Despite those terrible losses, Robin has soldiered on and continued to love Julian with all his heart. If that's not enough, he's made a career in theatre and radio; and by the way, he tells me there's another of his radio plays being broadcast within the next few weeks so make sure you all listen to it."
There was a general chuckle amongst the guests and Julian squeezed his lover's hand some more whilst Robin dabbed the tears away.
"And of course, Julian has started his own theatre production company and put on several plays which I am reliably told have been very successful; not that I've seen them since I believe they're more suited to the gay community, but even so I wish both of them every success and every happiness for a very long time to come."
The guests all stood up and applauded and cheered as Craig tried to propose a toast to the happy couple. Finally he did so and everyone roared `To Julian and Robin'.
Julian turned to Robin and kissed him much to the enjoyment of the assembled crowd.
"And now, one of the grooms would like to say a word" Craig was saying.
Julian had said he'd get up and thank everyone for coming so Robin just sat back to listen.
"I met Robin on his first day at the boarding school I attended" Julian was saying, "and from the moment I saw him I knew he was the guy for me; the problem was whether he felt the same way but as you can see he must have done since he's sitting here right beside me. I love this guy with all my heart, always have and always will".
At this point, Julian bent down and kissed Robin again before continuing with his speech in which he thanked everyone for making this a wonderful day.
Once the cake had been cut and more champagne had been drunk, the formal dinner was declared over and the guests relaxed. Gradually guests left leaving a core of young people to enjoy themselves. The party went on well into the night. As it did so, Robin noticed that Craig and Kevin were in each other's arms on more than one occasion and he had a shrewd idea that they'd be sleeping together that night. Jamie and Trevor had also found a partner each and on one occasion Julian noticed Jamie coming back into the marquee adjusting his trousers with an expression of pleasure on his face! Whether Trevor had scored he wasn't sure but he did notice that he and Jamie went off together when the party finally ended.
The following morning there were several sore heads so everyone who'd stayed over decided to take things gently. Finally Craig said he was leaving and had agreed to drive Kevin back to London since he was in no hurry to go home. Robin and Julian weren't due to drive back until the following day with Jamie and Trevor.
"Two guesses where Craig will be sleeping tonight" Robin giggled once they'd said their goodbyes.
"Yep, seems young Kevin has found a friend" Julian replied.
The weather had indeed been kind to them and that afternoon the sun was out and the temperature had risen to a very comfortable level. Julian suggested he, Robin, Jamie and Trevor go to the lake. Robin grinned and guessed what Julian had in mind, especially when he noticed some towels in a rucksack he was carrying.
When they reached the lake, Julian suggested they have a swim and promptly stripped off. Jamie and Trevor were happy to do the same and were soon running naked into the water behind Julian with Robin hot on their heels.
They had great fun with each other, grabbing each other's appendages as they did so. When they finally emerged out of the water, all four had erections that were waving up and down. Out of the corner of his eye, Julian spotted one of the farmhands watching them. He was much the same age as him and had often thought the lad was gay although nothing had actually happened between them. He was tempted to call him over so they could strip him and have some fun but thought better of it. He was a married man after all so decided it was best to let the guy have his enjoyment and watch the others have fun. Julian pulled Robin down onto the ground and proceeded to suck him. Had he brought the necessary items to do so, he would have fucked him but he hadn't so he couldn't. That prompted Jamie to suck Trevor off whilst the farmhand peered at the four of them from behind a tree!
"Bye guys, be good" Kevin giggled as he bade Julian and Robin farewell two days later. They were off to New York for two weeks.
"Do gays call it a honeymoon?" Robin giggled as they went downstairs to the taxi that was waiting to take them to Heathrow airport. He'd never been to New York so was really excited. They were staying in an apartment near Central Park that the Earl owned. Julian had told him there was a resident butler so all they had to do was arrive and have fun.
"Not sure" Julian replied, "All I know is that I'm going to have two whole weeks with a gorgeous guy who I'm going to fuck all day long!"
"Mm, I want to spend some time looking at the sights" Robin giggled.
"Okay, I'll restrict the sex to four times a day then" Julian laughed.
The next part of 'The Earl's Son' will be available shortly.
