Status: Work in progress, codes may change as well, reader beware :-) So, there I was.... 17, having traveled all the way to Capua, because my father had to sent my away to avoid further trouble with Arminus Nigellus). Only to find out that Xandros (a former business associate of my father) who was suppose to become my custodian, was the owner of a gladiator school. Our initial meeting went fine. Xandros was not without reason and an extra student for his stable of gladiators was always welcome. Especially when he came for free and with no strings attached send by his father. The short physical examination (which had left me with an almost painful erect phallus, once Xandros stopped fingering my ass and tweaking my nipples) was the first time that another man had purposely attempted (and succeeded) to arouse me. Of course, in the brothels that my father and I visited, there had been the occasional group-activity. And occasionally touching another man every now and then was unavoidable. And even while some of the groping from older guys maybe have been on purpose, it never made me hard. The tits, cunts, asses and mouths of the prostitutes were quite sufficient at that. But this, this way different. For the first time I was just with one other mature man in a room. For sure the fact that I was totally naked and that my life was at his mercy (would he accept me or not into the school) before he even approached me, was part of the difference. For a man of his bulk he moved with surprising speed. One moment he was looking at my torso, the next his left arm kept me in a bear hug from behind and his right hand rubbed the cleft between the cheeks of my ass. This man oozed confidence and simply demanded obedience. Nothing in me thought resisting or avoiding his ministrations. Not that I had any chance to do otherwise... while gentle, the strength in his arms and the insistent probing of my ass left no doubt I had to accept this. Of course, the fingering of my sphincter together with the rubbing and pinching of my nipples had the effect Xandros was looking for. My phallus raised as fast as an onager being released during battle. Satisfied that his new student seemed to be in working in order, he mused a bit about my possible career paths. It would be either the Velites or the Dimachaerus. None of those were bad choices. As I would be seeing during the next days, the Velites wore little armor and fought with a lance and rope, while the Dimacharus fought and defended themselves with their two swords. But all of that would depend on how by body would develop during those first months of training. With a final slap on my ass, as he removed his probing finger from my sphincter, Xandros send me away. Leaving my clothes behind (according to Xandros it was a Greek custom to have the students naked during their day-to-day activity) I only had to take my sandals and was told to join the other students in their sleeping quarters. While most of the gladiators had rooms that housed two, three or four of them, the best ones had a whole room for themselves. However, the, at that time over two dozen, students simply shared one big suffocating large room on the level below the gladiators. Word of them getting a new 'colleague' had already made it way down and I was greeted by one of the older guys, named Solus, with: "So, you must be Julius then... THERE's your sleeping place, if you have to piss or shit, go THERE... and in the morning make sure you go on time to THERE for bathing and breakfast." Each 'THERE' was accompanied by his arm gesturing in a different direction. "And if you want THAT taken care of, you'll have to do it yourself. We're not allowed to relieve you before Xandros tells us. Usually that happens after he eventually has had some fun with you..." Which suited my just fine, because at 'THAT' he pointed at my still erect phallus. The travelling, subsequent interview and examination and all the new impressions in general had left me exhausted. 'My' bunk, filled with straw, looked more inviting then the cotton covered mattresses from Prisca and Livia (even if both of them had been sprawled naked on top), that I had left in such a hurry that short time ago. Tucking away the 'Xandros, fun, eventually' somewhere in my head, I dropped down on the bunk and immediately started paying my dues to Somnus. Even Morpheus did not visit me that night. The next morning I woke up due the noise of other students making their way to the bathtubs and from there to the kitchen. Later I learned that the baths in the morning were typical for Xandros' school. Usually gladiators (and students) only bathe after a fight (or practice). These, mandatory, baths in the morning was another one of the Greek customs from Xandros. As if it had not deflated at all during the night, my cock was showing its usual morning erection. Even the quick dip in the cold water did not do much to reduce it. At that time the thought of being naked all day around lots of other naked guys was stimulating and kept not just my own phallus erect. I noticed the same effect on most of the other students. Some were larger, some were smaller. But overall it seemed the Gods had favoured me with a set of cock and balls about which I did not need to be ashamed. I followed the other students to the kitchen. There we were handed the left-overs from the breakfast of the gladiators. Most of them had already started practising, the few gladiators with serious injuries were allowed to recover in their rooms. During the day my task, like most of the students, would be simple. After the morning round up, I would take a bucket, walk to the well, lower the bucket on a rope into the well, fill the bucket, pull up the bucket, carry it up the 40 steps of the stairs to the big reservoir and empty it. Just like the rest of the students when they were not called out to do some other task. And then it started over again... back to the well... ad infinitum. While it might seem simple and tedious, we still had to take care. The stairs tended to get slippery during the day due to the occasional splashes of spilled water. And falling down the height of two or three grown men can get one quite hurt. Or worse. Even on that first day a student managed to get himself skewered by some practice spears that had been placed next to the stairs. At the highest point, just after the latest bend before he could empty his bucket into the reservoir, he had lost his footing, slipped and fell down with a scream. While the spears themselves were fully made out of wood, they were sturdy and sharp enough (because of their erect position) to penetrate the leg and torso of the unlucky boy. His scream stopped even before the bucket, that also had fallen with him, stopped bouncing across the ground. When I turned around I only saw his body, impaled on the spears, convulse a few times as streams of blood started to poor down the thick wooden shafts. Soon followed by the contents of his bladder and intestines as his body lost the last control over its muscles. While I had seen dead people from up close before, I never had seen anyone actually dying that close to me. The gladiators and prisoners getting wounded and killed in the few visits to the arena, that my father and I had made, always had been far enough away to not hear the actual bones snap or tendons ripped. Obviously, you still saw an arm being sliced of, a belly penetrated by lance, or a leg cut away below the knee. But the sounds from that were too faint anyway to reach us through the continuous roar of the crowd. Not this time. I had just come back from a refill at the well and was about to start yet another ascend on the stairs. The scream itself did not startle me, after all, this was a gladiator-school and all morning I had heard guys scream, shout, yell and curse during their practice. What really got my attention was the eery silence that followed after the crunching sound of the wood sticks penetrating skin, splintering bones and ripping open arteries and other organs. As I looked at the boy (he must have been 13 or 14), he tried to grab one of the shafts sticking out of his chest, in a feeble attempt to disengage himself from his inevitable destiny. But as his eyes glazed over, his hands slipped as the life gushed out of him and just like his arms flopping downward, his neck and head did the same. Finally his limp body slowly and grotesquely started to slide down on the shafts. Lower and lower, with a sickening crunching and obscene slurping sound where blood provided lubrication. Then, a few commands barked by Xandros brought all of us back into action. We, the students, were ordered to continue with refilling the reservoir. They, the gladiators and the few helpers, pulled out the spears from the boys body. At first they tried it careful, hoping that by some miracle he might survive. But once they noticed he was truly dead and when a few thick shafts only pulled the lifeless body of the ground when they tried to remove the spears, more force was used and even a few sandal clad feet were used to keep the body on the ground. Xandros, from the balustrade, directed the helpers with the dead boy to the back of the school. I never saw the boy again. Later I learned that he, like the mortal victims of other casualties and fatalities from accidents and fights, would simply be tossed in one of the mass graves close by the river. Only the greatest of fighters would get a proper mausoleum, but even then only if they had secured a sponsor for it. Looking back on the event after all these years, I think that Xandros managed it correctly. The new students (myself included) learned, and the others got once more reaffirmed, that life can be short and still will continue for your survivors once you're dead. At the end of the day, after the gladiators had stopped practising, Nerog and I were summoned to Xandros' quarters. Nerog was a dark Nubian guy, bought from local slave traders (who caught him and his family even further down south) in Tyconpoli close to the river Nile. He was almost a full head larger as myself. And, he had, at that time, about twice the amount of muscles on his body. Xandros had, compared to other schools, a lot of gladiators and students from the far edges of the Empire. For sure this also played a role of importance in his the secondary activities of renting out gladiators, or sometimes even students, to bored wives of aristocrats, or even the aristocrats themselves. Rarity can be an attraction in itself. When walking to the room, Nerog looked enviously at the others going to the kitchen and said: "Well, that means no food tonight. When Xandros is done with us, there will be only scraps and leftovers if we are lucky at all". And as a matter of fact he added with a wry smile: "I guess I'll just have to suck Linus's cock again tomorrow to get some decent amount of food". With Linus being the main cook and master of the kitchen, I know understood the remark he had made that morning when we met for the first time. "Oh my, are you skinny... I guess you will need lots of extra food to survive here..." While I wasn't exactly skinny, but for sure I lacked the muscle development that the other students exhibited. Of course, Linus' leering eyes roamed my naked and still somewhat wet body, only to finish their path at my now half erect cock. He even licked his lips before he handed over my food. Looking at Nerog from aside when we trotted through the hallways, I noticed he did not seem to worried by the prospect of getting Linus' phallus shoved down his throat. The smile was still there and if I was not mistaken, his own phallus had just become a bit thicker and longer. But maybe it was just the speed of walking that made our cocks bounce up and down to cause that effect. After a final turn around the end of the corridor, we entered the central part of Xandros' quarters. The Greek sat relaxed on one of the couches at the side of the room. He had just finished a plate of cut meat and finished it off with some honeyed wine. Like the day before he wore a short tunic, his leather sandals had now been replaced by more comfortable flaxen slippers. Standing at attention, like I was told to do at the roundup early that morning, next to each other at half an arms length, with my arms locked behind my back as each hand gripped the other wrist, Nerog and I waited until Xandros was ready to acknowledge us. After a few remarks about the boy who died earlier that day, he came to the point of Nerog and myself being here. "Julius, we still need to find out where place you. Nerog already knows he will start his training as one of the Retiarii soon. After all, all of the Nubians get to be a Retiarius." And after a moment of silence, in which he scrutinized our naked bodies, he continued, "Let's get you oiled up first and you can wrestle each other while I think about your career. Cloths and olive oil is on your left. Make sure you oil your opponent totally, after all, getting an advantage by grabbing some dry skin would not be fair." Drenching two pieces of cloth in the oil, Nerog and I thoroughly oiled each other up. Not that was happy to wrestle this muscular Nubian. Even through the towels I could feel his powerful muscles flex as I rubbed the oil all over him. "Don't forget the cock!" Xandros mentioned to the both of us, "It might get stuck or slip into some place and then you do want to have it oiled up pretty good... Ha!" His massive laugh filled the room. As I rubbed and oiled the dark piece of cockmeat in front of me, I wondered why Nerog bothered oiling up my own phallus. There was no way that I was going to best this Nubian. If somehow a cock would penetrate something during the upcoming wrestling match, it would not be mine. Once Nerog and I were done, we fell back into our 'presentation' stance. Straight up, stomach in, chest out, wrists grabbed behind the back and the feet enough spread out for (as Xandros had put it so eloquently that morning) "your fuckmuscle and its eggs to see and be seen". Xandros performed a short cursory inspection by walking around the both of us and squeezing our asses and rubbing our crotches. Now Nerog and I were both almost fully erect, with Xandros' short but arousing massage continuing the earlier rubbing with olive oil. Stepping back, he spoke: "Five rounds of wrestling, maximum three points per round. Points awarded by me. Depends on technique, style and aggressiveness. No biting or scratching. Begin!" Of course, I had no chance. Even while Xandros 'awarded' me three point in the fourth round when Nerog simply slipped on a patch of oil, I was shown every tile of the marble floor. Round one started with Nerog grabbing my neck and pulling me down in one motion. Before I even knew what happened, my chest slammed on the floor and Nerog crouched on top of my head with his knees to the left and right. His hand now grabbed my legs and pulled them toward him. With my head presses to the cold floor, my body arced backwards. It must have been some sight for Xandros... my erect phallus, dangling up side down as the Nubian kept my thighs hugged to his chest. Pinned down I could not do anything. To add to the domination, he shifted to a one arm hold of my legs and with his free hand jerked my cock a few times. "Two points, Nerog!" Round two wasn't going any better. Still groggy from round one, I miscalculated his first attack and as his oiled torso slipped through my hands, my legs were pulled away underneath me. This time I ended up on my back. Trying to push Nerog of my chest only resulted in both arms being pinned down to my left, with just enough room for Nerog's cock to slide through and touch me lips. The exotic smell from his sweat and musk was so intoxicating that I felt my own cock swell to fullness. "Three points, Nerog!" Round three. Finally I got a good grip on my opponent. But the move to topple him failed miserably and I ended once more on my back. With on of his feet pressed down on my throat, ready to push further down if I resisted, and the other shoved between my legs against my sensitive scrotum, all I could do was yield. "Two points, Nerog!" Round four. Even while he slipped and went down as a massive pillar of black marble, I still had great trouble in keeping Nerog pinned down. If is had not been for the oil that was now spread out over the floor as well, he would have found enough grip to simply stand up again with me on his back. What made him yield in the end was my right hand thumb that by accident had found its way between his butt cheeks and that had slipped inside all the way. With the other fingers working his hairless sac, he had to yield lest he spilled his seed on the floor right there and then. "Three points, Julius!" Final round. This one took as long as the other four rounds combined. Both of us were now sweating from exertion and eager to show Xandros our best. Of course, Nerog won again. But this time he made a real show out of it. His first real move, after a long time of grappling, breaking free and counter grappling, caused us to end up standing together. With his arms underneath my shoulders and back over my neck I was forced down. But now before I felt his cock rub a few times between my ass cheeks. His cock even hit my balls from behind. Again, this domination of being immobilized and used for the pleasure of the other man had that strange exciting effect on me and I felt (and saw) myself getting harder until my cock throbbed almost painfully. Releasing the necklock, Nerog pun me around only to reaffirm his control over me with a bearhug. Now his stiff cock managed to work its way through my legs from the front. As the shaft itself roughly massaged my balls, the fleshy knob of the shaft managed to reach my sphincter as he made his power thrusts. "Three points, Nerog!" Xandros ended the round and thus the match. Falling back into presentation stance, both Nerog and I stood panting heavily and still both hard as rocks waiting for Xandros to declare the winner. Somewhere Xandros had found the time to remove his clothes and his final round of inspection had him walking around us just as naked. "Nerog wins. Now, usually that means he could decide who he could fuck from the losers or audience. But, since Julius, without any real training, did manage to score a few point and wrestled in the way the school is famous for, he can choose who is going to fuck him!" Well, if I was going to get my anal cherry busted tonight then I'd better make it worth my while... Looking back and forth between Nerog and Xandros (or to be more honest between their stiff pieces of manmeat) I considered... If I'd choose Nerog, then Nerog would have probably spread his ass later that evening for Xandros. Not really a fair treatment for the clear winner, if you'd ask me. If I'd choose Xandros, then Nerog, hopefully realizing that I saved his ass from Xandros going down on it, would stick his dark cock in Xandros. Probably not something he would get many chances for. So... Xandros it would be, even if the thickness of his cock was considerable superior to Nerog's. Besides, he would certainly be smart enough to recognize my choice as the honorable one. "I choose to submit myself to Xandros!" and I dropped to my knees with my ass up and head down (as I had seen happening during a few practice sessions that first day). With an indeterminate grunt Xandros acknowledged my choice and with a speed and suppleness that once more belied his size and bulk, the Greek positioned himself behind my raised ass. Not much later his firm hands rubbed my asscheeks. A few times a thumb rubbed additional olive oil around my sphincter. Finally Xandros pulled my buttcheeks apart and asked Nerog to place his erect cock at my asshole. Hardly had the fleshy tip of his massive pole touched that sensitive spot, or Xandros himself pushed inside in one firm deep bowel-splitting thrust. At that moment I could hardly contain a scream of pain. It was as if a red hot branding iron was shoved inside my rectum. Due to the slickness of my ass and his cock, he managed to penetrate me all the way in the first stroke. Gritting my teeth against the pain caused by thick brutal invader I braced myself as Xandros rutted my ass mercilessly. Just when I wondered how Livia and Prisca had survived being fucked by me in that same way, I noticed that the pain became less. My sphincter and intestines had loosened up and adjusted themselves to the cock that shoved in and out. The wrestling of Nerog and myself must have excited Xandros, because his first fuck did not last long. Just as the sensations caused by his cock made my own one get hard again, he sped up his thrusts. After a final thrust and another deep masculine grunt, the cock that was now buried all the way in my ass started to expand even more and twitched violently. I realized that I had been truly fucked and filled for the first time by a man. Once his balls had emptied themselves and deposited their load deep inside me, Xandros pulled out of me. With a slurping sound, his cock freed itself from my loosened asshole. It left me with a strange empty feeling and an even stranger (and unexpected!) need for more. Looking up, I noticed Nerog. He was slowly rubbing his own stiff phallus and his white eyes shot back and forth between Xandros and me. As Xandros, still in the afterglow of his orgasm after taking my anal virginity, was obviously not yet prepared to help the Nubian with his hardened cock, I nodded towards the black man. "Go ahead, you can fuck me too!" That was all he needed and even faster than with the Greek, my ass was filled again with another hard cock. This time I was able to enjoy it. Nerogs cock was not as thick and not as long. My still opened and relaxed asshole, together with the mixture of oil and sperm collected already in there, made the flesh pole that was pushed in and out, a truly pleasant sensation. The continuous requests from Prisca and Livia for being fucked in either cunt or ass now made perfect sense! Then, just before Nerog reached his climax, I started spurting spontaneously! Something deep in my ass was being stimulated and without even touching my own glans, I felt it expand and squirt out jet after jet of cum that splattered on the marble floor with an intense feeling as if Venus herself had sucked by cock... But that cum was being 'replenished' at once by Nerog as I felt his black fuckmuscle stiffen inside me. With a last thrust he released its load of manjuice in my rectum without making a sound. After he pulled out, I could not move for some time, the power of my own orgasm had simply paralysed me. All I could do was to stay on all fours, enjoy the feelings that coursed through my body and wait for it to start listening to my will again. Eventually I dragged myself to a bench near Xandros and Nerog, slumped exhausted on it and closed my eyes for a moment. Being on all fours for this long, having two men fucking my ass and cumming myself had drained me for now. Xandros, on the other hand, apparently had recovered already. When I opened my eyes again, he had commanded the big Nubian to a place between his legs. Nerog was already licking and sucking the cock of our Greek dominus back to full size again. Xandros sat relaxed, with his back leaning against the wall and his ass only halfway on the bench. This way, as he opened his legs somewhat, Nerog was able to come up real close and lick his balls as well. The contrast between the dark brown, almost black skin of the Nubian and very light brown tanned skin of Xandros was interesting. As Nerog's head went up and down along the erect phallus of our dominus, that shaft still seemed to grow further in length, girth and stiffness. For sure this was aided by the earlier display of Nerog's black cock pumping in and out of my pale colored ass earlier on. Just as in the brothels it was that seeing people fuck made you want to fuck. And with greater contrast between the participants, the sooner that need to fuck would reappear. As I learned later that contrast could be in lots of aspects. Skin color (like now), age (young versus old), willingness (free will versus restraint acceptance, it never stops to amaze me what seeing a rape does to ones libido, especially if the victim is bound helplessly)... All contrasts make all of life (and therefore in the sexual aspects even stronger) so much more interesting. While these initial thoughts of the effect of different skin color passed my mind, Xandros had commanded Nerog to the next step. The Nubian was now bobbing his mouth up and down over the fully erect cock. At the end of every downward movement, I could see his throat gag in an attempt to remove the fleshy intruder. But Xandros had no mercy and kept on pushing the head of the dark skinned man further and further down as he kept on stimulating the cock with his mouth. In the end Nerog relaxed and let the cock shove the head beyond his esophagus without gagging. Now Xandros began seriously fucking the Nubian in his throat. All Nerog could do was relax and let the bulky Greek ram his cock time after time deep inside his wide opened mouth. I could even see his throat expand at the front when Xandros was as far inside as possible. With his gagreflex now subdued, Xandros pistoned in and out the black face at high speed. "Suck my cock, you Nubia-a-a-a...nnnggg" And there Xandros came again, now squirting his thick Greek seed straight into the throat of Nerog. "By the Gods, you maybe be a slow learning Retiarius in the arena, but you do know how to fellate properly, Nerog!" and with a satisfied moan he lifted Nerog's head away from his already deflating cock. Nerog, on his turn, took both the chastisement and praise with the same indifference so typical for the people of his race. Xandros now waved the dark man away and despite definitively seeing both cocks of Nerog and myself in full stiffness, he send us away with the orders to take a bath and go to sleep. So, with Xandros now apparently fully satiated after his two successive orgasm, Nerog was not going to get to stick his black cock in his masters rectum tonight after all. And after being sodomised myself already by them both, I was not in the mood of offering my ass again to Nerog. Ah well, we cannot always get what we expect, I mused as we walked together to the baths. But Nerog had other thoughts. t.b.c. ==== Reactions, corrections, praise, criticism, encouragements, etc...: funplaycam@gmail.com
