Jocks in Spain
The Spanish sun in Andalusia, the southern region of the country, had begun to heat up a part of Europe that saw its true spring start earlier than most of the rest of the continent. Granada had been Hugo’s home base his entire life and he wanted to keep it that way, even if he spent more nights across the globe than in his own bed these days.
The weather and environment was new to Everett; far different than the humidity and sprawling landscape of Florida or the cooler air and density of the Bay Area in Northern California. He’d managed to arrive in Spain for a tournament in Barcelona a few days earlier, playing it off to his management team as an opportunity to adjust to the time zone and food. His agency team had booked him some shitty room in Barcelona for the week, going even lower class than usual because of his request for an extended stay, but he’d bolted on a train the moment he touched down, riding over five hours to visit Hugo for two days.
The hills of Granada down below Hugo’s apartment balcony stretched out for miles, looking straight out of a medieval world smashed up against a modern city. The Alhambra, the mighty castle fortress on the hill across from them, was a reminder of the region’s long history; exchanging hands between kingdoms, religions, and countries for centuries. Everett found the city fascinating; a reflection of the vast world beyond the United States.
Hugo’s three bedroom flat was as luxurious, modern, and private as he’d described over FaceTime when he had invited his usual opponent to visit, but Hugo had undersold the magnificent view from above that the long balcony provided. It was the perfect place for coffee or wine, and Everett could imagine spending mornings and nights out here watching over Hugo’s domain.
Hugo joined the American on the balcony, barefoot and in his trunk style underwear. His lush medium dark blonde hair was parted in the middle, straying on both sides outward.
“You’re sure no one can see us up here from down there?” Everett asked, sipping a coffee that Hugo had made him on the fanciest home coffee machine he’d ever seen.
“Of course they can.” Hugo leaned against the glass alongside him, his prominent bulge smushing against the glass below the rail. “But they simply don’t care as much here. It’s why I stay. It’s home and it’s more relaxed.”
“Can we go out at all, though?” Everett asked.
“Sí, claro.” Hugo spun around, giving whoever might be down below a beautiful view of his backside stretching under his white underwear. “I don’t think it’s that strange for two professionals to have drinks with the tournament this week. No one will question it. They don’t know you’re sleeping in my bed with my cock buried in your ass.”
Everett rolled his eyes and stepped back inside, shaking his head.
What was he even doing here? What were they doing? He should’ve been focused on the tournament and his training.
His father knew he was here and he seemed connected enough to reality to figure out why, offering only the suggestion to ‘keep it discreet’; more a request for his own political career than care for Everett’s tennis image.
Hugo appeared behind him, wrapping his arms around Everett’s furry, hard abs. “I missed you.” He murmured, inhaling the back of his head. “I’m glad you came.”
“Yeah, well I don’t even know why the fuck I’m here.” But Everett wrapped his hands around the strong, tan arms crossing his waist. “What are we doing?”
They both laughed and Hugo’s hands roamed lower, palming Everett’s soft, smaller penis through his shorts. Everett eventually pushed out of the hold, feeling himself melt under Hugo’s hold again. “Come on, let’s go out. I wanna see the city.” It wasn’t a date but he was here and he was fairly sure he wouldn’t be back again in the future…or at least that’s what he told himself.
Hugo pulled back with a reluctant groan. “Fine. Dress well in case anyone takes photos. Wear something branded from the guest closet. My partners will love it.”
“Your partners?” He didn’t understand.
“The fashion houses.” Hugo responded as if it were obvious.
Everett simply rolled his eyes but made his way to the second bedroom. He found a henley tee with a small letter on the chest, dark chinos, a leather belt, and pure white shoes. He left his hair intentionally strewn about and threw on one of the two dozen watches that Hugo hadn’t even bothered to open. He googled the one he’d strapped on his wrist and found it retailed for $4,000.
“Wine bar first,” Hugo said, emerging from his bedroom looking like a movie star. He’d touched up his parted hair, which curled over itself from the usual headband across his scalp. “No touching. Keep it civil. Strong laughs, nothing flirty. Then we come back here and have some fun. Sound good?”
Everett adjusted himself in his pants with a dramatic sigh. “I know how this works, Delgado. I’ve been keeping it cool in public way fucking longer than since I met you.”
They left the flat a careful meter apart, walking down the steep, winding cobblestone streets like two casual professionals who’d run into each other on a holiday, instead of two gay men who’d been fucking across continents for a year. The city buzzed around them and the scent of fresh chorizo and saffron filled their nostrils. The clapping of a horse-drawn carriage carrying tourists rang out in the distance, echoing through the streets.
Hugo pointed out little details across buildings and streets without getting too close; his favorite hidden viewpoint, the tiny mosque converted into a museum, and some of his favorite coffee shops Their conversation stayed light, like friends, but every brush of shoulders as they navigated the narrow sidewalks sent nervous sparks through Everett’s unsteady hands.
The wine bar Hugo swore by was tucked into a narrow alley and the interior was all exposed brick walls draped with hanging ivy, wooden barrels repurposed as tables, and the rich scent of red wine and olives drifting through the dining room. They walked inside and Hugo greeted an older woman at the front with dueling kisses on each cheek before she walked them to a private high-top tucked away in the shadowed corner. The woman spoke to Hugo in hushed Spanish, trying not to draw too much attention to their famous guest, then brought over a bottle of Tempranillo that smelled immediately of leather and black fruits.
Hugo raised his glass, blue eyes locked on Everett’s over the rim. “To beating you once again this week.”
Everett clinked his glass. “To topping you both literally and figuratively this week.” His grin grew more confident, just as it had been every month since turning pro. “Hopefully many times.” They knew he wasn’t talking about their tennis match.
They talked about their careers first. It was safe territory and a topic that they knew their respective lanes in. Everett had put off going pro longer than his pedigree had called for and now he was suffering through the learning curve of his rookie year at 21 instead of 19 or 20. Hugo on the other hand was a seasoned professional who’d learned that you didn’t have to be the best to have the rockstar lifestyle. He was competitive and loved winning, but he loved fame and money more and he wasn’t ashamed of it.
Hugo wanted to give Everett advice as long as it wasn’t enough to tip the scales against him. “Romania was good to me. A loss in the final got me up to 40th in the world.” He swirled his wine and tipped it back. “But I landed another brand deal after. I even cracked 4 million followers during the match.”
His charm was a hit in Western Europe but even more so in the American market; a blue eyed, handsome Spaniard who played up the mystique perfectly in commercials and advertising.
They traded stories for nearly an hour, voices rising and falling with laughter. “Yeah my dad’s full of shit.” Everett explained. “He wouldn’t even be a centrist as a Dem, he’d be solidly in the middle of the party. But no future in that where I’m from, so he plays up the bit. Power over everything. He doesn’t say it that way, but it’s all my parents care about.”
The wine flowed with glass after glass of the rich Tempranillo until they were onto bottle two. They ate tapas and drank red wine for hours, until the clock finally cracked 11PM. But along the way the conversation did turn more serious.
Hugo again swished his glass around, just after they’d finally finished eating. “I’ve been thinking a lot since Rotterdam. You should move here. To Spain. Train with a coach full time as cover. We could see each other more often…” He trailed off, pronounced lips quirking into a half-smile. “And I wouldn’t have to fly to San Francisco and deal with the cold.”
Everett’s wine glass paused halfway to his mouth. He could picture it so clearly; waking up every morning in that hilltop flat with sunlight pouring across Hugo’s smooth chest, shared training sessions where they could push each other, lazy terrace dinners overlooking the Alhambra. His heart twitched at the thought alone.
But what was the point? Neither of them thought this was an actual relationship and Everett’s parents would go ballistic if he dared propose the idea. Everett set the glass down carefully, the rich wine suddenly tasting duller on his tongue.
“My dad would lose his absolute shit,” he said quietly, voice tight. “Moving to ‘liberal Europe’? He’d get roasted on every conservative podcast and talk show. ‘My son chose socialism and sangria over American values.’” He mocked his dad’s southern accent. “Nah. Not happening. I can’t do that to him. And why do you even want me here? For sex?”
Hugo’s jaw tightened. “What’s wrong with sex? Life doesn’t have to be so fucking romantic. We’re professional athletes. It’s stressful. We deserve to be able to fuck if we want to fuck. We can compete and train at the same time. You don’t need his permission anymore, you’re going to be a star. You could be top fifty by the end of the year if you enjoy life a little more. C'est la vie”
Everett’s laugh was short and bitter. “That’s fucking easy for you to say. You’re rolling in money and fame and can milk this for another decade. You want me to uproot everything to come over here because you like fucking, but we both know that as soon as I can beat you, you’ll want to move onto someone lesser.” Everett gritted his teeth, genuinely annoyed. “You like me as long as you’re winning.”
Hugo didn’t deny it and if anything his face lit up with respect that the younger man understood their dynamic. “That won’t be this week, Ev. So you might as well think about coming over here. Think about the fun we’d have. Maybe it’s six months, maybe a year, maybe more. Your brand would do well in Europe.”
Everett pushed his glass away, frustrated by the notion of a simpler life. “Hugo, I’m loyal. Stop. I can’t just blow up my dad’s career because I want better training and Spanish dick on demand.” He ran a hand over his short hair. “We fuck when we cross paths. Unless you’re trying to tell me you love me, then why should I throw shit away.”
“I don’t know what I want,” Hugo admitted after a long beat. “I like what we have. So why not have more of it? I know you’ll pass me some day and when it comes I’ll be at peace with it. We can have fun until then.”
Everett’s chest felt too tight. Half of him wanted to move here and take the leap for the fun, a quarter of him wanted to say no for all the reasons he’d actually said out loud, and a quarter of him hated Hugo. He hated their dynamic and how he knew Hugo didn’t respect his game. But he also knew there were some emotions buried deep below and that if their competitive roles were reversed, he’d have let Hugo win a match by now for his betterment. Hugo on the other hand clearly had no plan to throw Everett the bone he needed in his young career.
“We’ll see,” Everett said instead, forcing a fake, passive aggressive grin. “Now shut up and get us more wine before I get in my head about this.”
Hugo smiled to himself; because while he was serious about his idea, it was also the small virus he needed to plant in Everett’s mind ahead of a potential rematch in Barcelona. What he wanted was precisely for Everett to get in his own head.
They stayed another hour, the conversation swinging back to lighter, high-energy territory. By the time they paid and stepped back into the cooling evening air, they were wobbling back and forth, leaning on each other far closer than a few hours earlier. The second the door of the flat clicked shut behind them, the careful public act shattered.
Hugo spun Everett around, backing him hard against the door, and kissed him; hands already yanking at buttons and zippers. “Shower,” he growled against Everett’s mouth. “You stink. I want you clean when I fuck you.”
“Fuck you.” Everett moaned back, tasting blackberry on Hugo’s lips from the wine.
The bathroom was a giant, dark green marble-laden room with a wet room entry to the shower. It featured two rainfall shower heads side by side and a deep ledge of the same stone. Hugo reached in to flick the water on while the other tugged Everett’s shirt off. Steam rose fast throughout the room as they stripped each other between messy kisses and eventually stepped hand in hand under the water’s searing heat.
Hugo’s body was a smooth, Spanish work of art under the spray; smooth tanned chest glistening as water cascaded over it, and a burly happy trail darkening and plastering flat below his belly button, leading down to the groomed hair at his groin. His dick, almost seven inches (17cm) and uncut had its foreskin naturally pulling back as it filled up.
Everett’s lean and tan, masculine frame pressed flush against him, matching his height perfectly but with water matting down his hairier chest; soft hair across his sternum and stomach. He was an inverse model of the Spaniard with a furrier top half but shorter, thinner pubes surrounding his five inches (12cm) of cut meat.
They squeezed a sandalwood scented soap into each other’s hands and began to work it into a lather, running circles over dense shoulders, rock hard biceps, and pointed nipples splitting their chests.
“You should shave this.” Hugo played with the fur across his younger dueling partner’s chest.
“You don’t want to feel like you’re with a man, huh?” Everett shot back.
“Man? I only see a boy.” Hugo toyed with him.
Underneath their flirtation laid a subconscious fight for dominance; an older, steadier, more confident lion versus a special but raw, young wolf.
Hugo’s hands moved back behind Everett, sliding down his lats, across his lower back, and settling to pinch Everett’s smooth muscular ass hard. “You shave back here.”
“That’s different.” The American responded, nibbling on Hugo’s lips. “And I only do it by my choice, not because you asked me to.”
Hugo smirked, knowing he had more sway over the naive 21-year-old than Everett even realized. He’d asked him to shave his backside after their first meeting and by the third, Everett’s cheeks were smooth.
“You’re getting hotter.” Hugo murmured. Despite the threat that Everett presented to his self-image of power, he revered the younger man with a deep envy. “All lean and tight and mine.” He dropped to his knees right there on the wet marble, water streaming off his blond head and pushing back his luscious hair against his head. His pronounced lips parted and Everett’s breath caught in his chest.
Hugo started slow, nuzzling his face against Everett’s balls and inhaling the smells before it washed away with the fresh sandalwood soap. “Fuerte.” He whispered, more to himself. Everett felt shivers run down his spine. Hugo backed up and reached his tongue out as far as it could go, then licked a slow, wet streak up Everett’s dick before suckling the head into his mouth and tasting the salty taste of pre-cum.
Everett’s head fell backward and his hands came down to hold Hugo’s cheek. “Fuck, that feels good.”
Hugo worshipped the younger man; sucking one ball into his mouth while his hand squeezed Everett’s polished, tight head. Water pounded over them, turning the air steamier and drowning out their moans. Hugo switched to the other ball, sucking harder, then licked back up the shaft and swirled his tongue around the head, dipping his tongue into the slit to taste the steady leak of man juice flowing externally.
Hugo wanted him relaxed and in bliss, but also vulnerable and needy; all so he wouldn’t forget these moments on the court. Everett’s hips bucked forward involuntarily, but Hugo’s hands gripped his thighs, holding him still so he stayed in control even on his knees. He took more, inch by inch, until Everett’s cock was buried against his throat’s entrance. He held there, locked on Everett’s face, then pulled back slowly, strings of saliva and pre-cum connecting his lips to the glistening American cut cock.
“Jesus Christ,” Everett panted, fingers threading through Hugo’s wet blond hair. “I’m gonna faint from this.”
Hugo grinned up at him. “Not until you cum. Then you can do whatever the fuck you want.” He dove back down, faster now, bobbing his head in a steadier rhythm down to the root, throat working, then up with a tight suck on the head.
He reached his hand around and without warning, slipped his pointer finger inside Everett’s tight, muscular, smooth asshole. “Aghh fuck.” Everett grunted, feeling his hole be breached.
Every time Everett’s thighs started to shake and his moans turned desperate, Hugo backed off, grinning with total control.
“Please Hugo, I need to cum. I’m getting dizzy” Everett finally gasped after the third edge, hips twitching. His cock was so full that it had started visibly throbbing up and down, veins pulsing and the leaking stream now more of a river. “Come on, you can fuck me later, just blow me and let me finish.”
Hugo’s blue eyes flashed with triumph. “That’s it, Ev. You just had to ask.” He swallowed Everett to the root again; faster, sloppier, and gurgling dramatically even though he didn’t need to. He portrayed himself as the submissive pleaser but he was in command of every movement.
“I’m close.” Everett panted. He tried again to face fuck the Spaniard but Hugo’s hands still steadied him in place, dictating the manner and timing of the American’s orgasm. When it finally hit, his whole body locked up, abs clenching, and Hugo held him still, working his cock as it launched a volcanic eruption of seed down the awaiting throat. Everett’s knees were buckling but Hugo helped him stay upright through his climax.
When Hugo finally pulled off, he dramatically licked his lips, tasting the last traces, then rose to his feet, water streaming off his body, cock still rock-hard and curving up and to the right. He pulled Everett into a deep, messy kiss that tasted like cum and those same blackberries.
“So,” Hugo teased against his mouth, voice hoarse from the blowjob, “did I suck your soul out enough for you to at least consider moving to Spain?”
Everett laughed, realizing he’d been completely disarmed. He kissed Hugo again, slower this time, hands roaming back over Hugo’s butt cheeks, feeling the thin, full layer of fur across each juicy, sculpted mountain. “We’ll see, you bitch.” he panted, grinning.
They lingered under the spray a few more minutes, soaping each other lazily now, Hugo’s hands gliding carefully over Everett’s lean frame, tracing the light fur on his chest and stomach, and playing his spent penis gently. Everett returned the favor, soaping Hugo’s smooth chest and thick happy trail. He ended up stroking Hugo’s hard cock to keep him on edge through their shower with the steam smelling more and more like a mix of wood and sex.
Finally they shut off the water, wrapped plush towels around their waists, and walked out to the living room. The massive floor to ceiling windows showed the lit up Alhambra across the valley as if it were heaven watching over the earth down below. They stood at the balcony doors and Everett pulled them ajar, the cool night air raising goosebumps on their damp skin.
Taking Hugo’s advice from earlier, Everett boldly dropped his towel and walked out onto the balcony. From down below, he could make out faceless strangers walking through the streets of Granada. If they looked up now, they’d have seen Everett’s two or three soft inches of penis pointed down at them as he stood bare, looking over the city beneath him.
“Pretty amazing, isn’t it.” Hugo said, still wearing his towel. “We could piss down on everyone if we wanted to.”
Everett tilted his head, finding the cocky, judgmental phrasing off-putting. “That’s a little fucked up, isn’t it?”
Hugo shrugged. “I don’t mean that we’re better than them.” He corrected. “Someone else will always be higher who could piss down on us too. But you’re never going to pass me or anyone else unless you embrace an imperative to be higher up than someone else. Even if it’s someone you care about.”
Everett thought it over and felt conflicted. There may have been some truth in Hugo’s words but the way he said it felt foreign and ‘fucked up’; the only words Everett could come up with to describe how it made him feel.
“Sometimes, it’s fun to get pissed on.” Hugo added. “As long as you’re content with where you are in the pecking order.” He finally dropped his towel, freeing his ragingly hard boner. “I’m in my right place now. I just need to stay right here for as long as possible. Are you where you’re content?”
Everett felt his chest start to rise and fall faster as his eyes glanced between the city below and Hugo’s uncut, meaty penis. The cool night air nipped at his damp skin, making his nipples tighten and his own soft, empty dick twitch uselessly between his legs.
Hugo stepped closer, barefoot on the smooth balcony floor, and gripped the back of Everett’s neck roughly. His fingers dug in. “On your fucking knees,” Hugo commanded.
Everett dropped instantly, the impact jarring his knees against the cold tile. He stared up at Hugo; tall, broad, backlit by the warm glow spilling from the apartment, and felt small in a way that made his stomach clench with heat. Hugo didn’t wait. He fisted his own cock, gave it two rough strokes, then slapped the heavy length across Everett’s cheek hard. Once. Twice. The third time even harder, leaving a sticky smear of pre-cum along Everett’s cheekbone.
“Open wide,” Hugo ordered.
Everett’s lips parted on instinct. Hugo didn’t ease in; he shoved his uncut cock as hard as he could into the open hole and didn’t stop until the head rammed against the back of his throat. Everett immediately gagged, eyes watering instantly, as he choked on Hugo’s dick.
“Hold still” Hugo growled as he began to face fuck Everett, whose head was now backed against the balcony railing. Everett’s throat spasmed around the intrusion and saliva flooded his mouth, dripping down his chin. Once a minute, Hugo pulled back enough to let him breathe for a few seconds then slammed forward again, fucking his face with short, brutal thrusts. The wet, obscene sounds echoed out over the city below.
Hugo turned slightly, one hand braced on the railing, eyes fixed on the glittering sprawl of his home city beneath them as he fucked the awaiting mouth below him. “Look at them,” Hugo muttered, voice rough with pleasure. He was humping forward faster now but his eyes only looked out over the city. “Everyone scurrying around. And here you are, a professional athlete, choking on my dick.”
Everett moaned around the cock stuffing his mouth. His own dick was painfully hard again now, bobbing untouched between his thighs. After two or three minutes, Hugo suddenly yanked his dick out. Strings of spit connected Everett’s lips to the glistening shaft. Everett gasped and coughed, as drool ran down his chest.
“Eyes up. Keep them open.” Hugo snapped.
Everett tilted his head back and opened his mouth with his tongue out like he’d been trained. His eyes stung with tears; he was Hugo’s bitch once again, despite his prior strength all day in the face of the older competitor.
“Fuck, I’m gonna cum all over this pretty fucking face,” Hugo snarled. The first rope splattered across Everetts cheeks with force, pouring some semen into his nostrils. Everett immediately closed his eyes just before cum landed all over one of his lids. The ropes kept coming, painting Everett’s face with thick cream as Hugo squeezed every ounce out of his shaft.
When he finally let go of Everett’s hair, Everett stayed exactly where he was; kneeling, covered, trembling, and breathing hard through his nose. Cum flowed down his cheeks from gravity.
Hugo looked down at him, then out at the city again, satisfied. “Stay like that,” he said quietly, almost tenderly now. “Let it dry.”
“Fuck.” Everett panted. “How do you always do this to me.”
“Because for now I’m still higher up than you. I’m no better than you but I can still ‘piss on you’ whenever I want. And until you change that, if you ever even can…you’re mine.”
With semen drying into his skin, Everett was scared. Not of their sexual dynamic, but what it represented for his prospects on the tennis court this week and beyond. If he believed he was stuck under Hugo’s thumb, then his own athletic ceiling was capped at a level he couldn’t and wouldn’t be content with.
“How about this,” Hugo said, looking down to face him. “You win Barcelona next week, or at least beat me, and you don’t need to move here. But if you lose again, you can use it as cover that you need to make a drastic change. Hire a Spanish coach and try something new. The media and and your family will understand. We don’t have to date or be anything serious but we can fuck and live…at least until you’ve moved higher than me in life…onto bigger things.”
Everett stared at him, heart hammering. “Fine.” He finally picked up Hugo’s towel and wiped his face off. “You know your time is almost up, Hugo.”
Hugo’s grin was blinding. “We’ll see about that.” A tiny part of him was rooting for the American; he was jealous of Everett’s ceiling and as much as he wanted to remain on top, he couldn’t bear the thought of wasted potential. He held a hand out and helped the naked, tan, wolf to his feet. “This was a fun night.”
Everett smiled and let that small part of his heart that had real, complicated feelings for the older man take center stage. He pulled Hugo into a tight hug and they kissed one more time; the world below them unaware of the duel playing out high above.
