- IN THE ARENA
- By WRITER MAN 2537
- Dirk entered the arena staging ground with those familiar
- butterflies fluttering in his stomach. One more time, one
- more battle in here, one more man dying at his feet, and he
- would win his freedom. Win or lose, this would be his final
- day of slavery, and he could return to the North, to his uncle
- who had sold him at 16 into bondage here in the corrupt
- Empire. He would find Leif again, his best friend, first
- though. If he still lived under the could his uncle would
- have placed on him, the friend of a traitor to the chief of
- his tribe.
- The Empire hadn't just tossed him into the arena to live
- or die, but he had received a years' training that had
- strengthened his already big muscles into a fighter's body
- that bore few scars. The northern sword and shield were, as
- always, his favorite fighting tools. He would have to wonder
- about his opponent, unless Vitus was talkative.
- "Who is my opponent?" he asked as he stepped before the
- movable barrier.
- Vitus looked over at him and grinned. "Why would you
- care, barbarian? Plenty of men have died at your feet. Why
- should you care who the poor fool is?"
- "It helps to know." Dirk reminded him. "You know that."
- "True, but I'm not sure I should tell you." Vitus looked
- at the slave with hunger. He had paid once for the use of
- Dirk's body, to hold that blond god in his arms, to press his
- manhood into Dirk's ass and there spread his seed. Dirk had
- been a boring lay, though, Vitus sighed, lying there as though
- he would not enjoy, just endure. Even Vitus' lips on Dirk's
- cock hadn't brought the slightest hardening. Vitus would not
- pay the price again for a gladiator slave, but did not regret
- it, and felt a fondness for this slave that he had once held.
- "Ah, very well. I don't know his name, but he's a
- fighter from the provincial arenas. He's one of your
- countrymen, about your age and height, and will fight with the
- same weapons as yourself. He, too, will earn his freedom if
- he wins this day."
- Dirk nodded. He planned to kill a chief, if a countryman
- must die to permit this, it was a small price.
- "Thank you, Vitus." he said.
- "The last bout is over." Vitus cocked his ear at the
- trumpet and crowd sounds that meant the last man hadn't fought
- valiantly enough, and would now die at the hands of the
- victor. "I won't be seeing you again, barbarian." Vitus said.
- "May I taste your lips one more time?"
- Dirk thought it over, shrugged. Vitus deserved something
- for his information. Warning of an opponent was of great
- help, and a slave had nothing but his body to offer. He
- leaned over and down to the man about to pull the ropes to
- open the barrier, and gave Vitus a kiss, not quickly, but
- almost intimately.
- Vitus rubbed his lips. "Now if you'd only kissed like
- that when I'd paid for it."
- Dirk grinned. "I win my freedom this day. One way or
- the other. I am in a better mood than when I'm whipped to a
- bed and told to perform."
- "True. Good luck, barbarian." Vitus said. As Dirk
- walked out into the arena, he reflected at how Vitus had,
- despite five years' acquaintance, never bothered to learn his
- name.
- He could see his countryman pacing towards him, wearing,
- like him, merely a brief loincloth. How the crowds of this
- corrupt country loved to see a man's body, how they loved to
- hold men like himself. Sex and violence were mixed together
- in their minds.
- He got closer, and frowned. The man was indeed a
- countryman, and one of his tribe. His tattoo on one cheek
- bore witness to that. In the color of the man's shoulder-
- length hair, dirty-blond, in the eyes and face, there was
- something of Leif as he'd last seen him. Dear, gentle
- Leif....
- "Winter's whore!" he shouted in disbelief his tribe's
- oldest curse. "Leif!"
- "Dirk!" Leif returned to him. They nearly ran to embrace
- each other, but the crowd's roar reminded them. They fell
- into circling each other warily.
- "Must one of us kill the other?" Dirk asked sadly.
- "It seems we must." Leif said. His voice was, if
- possible, even sadder.
- "Damn these people with eternal night!" Dirk said. "I
- can't kill you!" And as the crowd roared angrily, Dirk cast
- down his sword and shield into the arena's dust still thick
- with spilled blood.
- Leif cast his down as well. "Yet they must have their
- show." he said. "Let's wrestle!"
- And Leif cast himself at Dirk with the familiar abandon.
- Dirk laughed as Leif's body bore him down. Leif always
- jumped into battle like this when they wrestled, and always
- it was his downfall. Dirk had a greater strength in his arms
- than Leif, which is all it took to catch the body as it
- plummeted onto him, lift him partially up, and cast him aside
- onto the ground, following with his own body.
- They clutched with a fierceness born of many fights. If
- the crowd enjoyed their change of battle, then perhaps it
- would please them enough to set them free.
- So they wrestled with whispered advice to each other.
- "Throw me over your head, Dirk." Leif whispered, and Dirk
- did so, and jumped down, slowly enough to let Leif, always
- more agile and adept, to roll out of the way, causing him to
- hit only dust. And Leif was atop him, their loincloths
- dangling from their side, twisted partially around on them,
- covering nothing. Dirk felt Leif's cock press against his
- buttocks.
- The Emperor seemed to enjoy this, they realized. He was
- laughing and shouting at them. "Give it to him, barbarian.
- Stick it in him."
- "Perhaps we'd better do as they say." Leif whispered in
- his ear. "If we give them a show, they'll not put us to
- death."
- Dirk felt Leif's cock harden against him, and Leif moved
- oh-so-slightly to try to maneuver it into his bowels.
- But that meant that Leif no longer had him pinned. Dirk
- heaved and Leif went tumbling to the side. They scrambled to
- their feet, circled again. Dirk yanked his loincloth off, to
- stand nude before Leif. Leif mimicked him, and two naked men
- were circling in the arena.
- Dirk grinned at Leif. "If you want to use this body,
- you'll have to win the bout."
- Leif laughed in his turn. "Then I shall win it."
- But laughter meant a lowering of guard, a relaxation of
- the muscles. And Dirk charged into him before he could
- recover his concentration.
- Over onto Leif's back, they both fell to the ground, Dirk
- pounced to get astride his friend, felt Leif's erection stab
- his buttocks. "Now who shall fuck who?" he smirked into
- Leif's face.
- "Not if I can pry you off of me, old friend." Leif
- struggled. Trying to get leverage, he thrashed with his legs,
- but only scooted Dirk forward onto him, and Dirk was now
- astride Leif's chest. Dirk reached for Leif's arms, caught
- them one at a time by the wrists, pinned him back.
- Which left his boner rubbing Leif's cheeks.
- "Open your mouth, my friend." Dirk said. He scooted
- back, thrust forward, and his cock was now perched at Leif's
- lips. "Open it for me."
- "Put it in and I'll bite it." Leif responded. But in
- saying "bite", he opened his mouth too far. Dirk thrust
- forward, and his cock scraped Leif's teeth, but made it into
- the warm mouth. Dirk pushed until his entire seven-inch
- length was nestled inside his friend's mouth, choking him,
- making him unable to bite.
- "If we are not to kill each other or both be killed, one
- of us must be the woman." Dirk said. "I have won. Be my
- woman, and I shall pay you once we have our freedom."
- Leif seemed to realize the truth of this, and relaxed his
- struggle. Dirk kept his hands pinned unless his friend should
- change his mind, but used his leg muscles to push his cock in
- and out of his pinioned friend.
- Leif gagged, slurped on Dirk's cock with an experience
- that startled Dirk. In his culture, sex between men was
- punishable by death. When would Leif...?
- But he remembered Vitus and his gold pieces that bought
- his body that night. Leif, too, would have had his Vitus, had
- his body used.
- Compassion took over, and Dirk was no longer so rough,
- but gently pushed half his cock-length into Leif's mouth,
- permitting Leif to give him pleasure rather than stealing it
- from him.
- Leif's mouth was familiar, friendly, adept. Dirk felt
- his orgasm building and he remembered the need for a show,
- yanked his cock from Leif's clutching mouth, to shoot it over
- his friend's face.
- But as the first spray hit Leif, as Dirk writhed in
- orgasm, he used the weakness it brought to raise Dirk's body
- up, it unable to stop him. Dirk slid backwards, and felt his
- buttocks pin Leif's erect cock. Leif raised up, with Dirk
- still helplessly spraying come into the air, to land on Leif's
- chest, then on his own, then...Leif was on top of him now, his
- legs between Dirk's, his cock seeking out Dirk's asshole while
- Dirk still contorted with his lust.
- As the last of his seed dribbled into his pubic hair,
- Leif took possession of Dirk roughly, his cock plowing into
- him. Leif's hands now pinned him down, his cock a bobbing
- blur.
- And there was passion. Dirk squirmed with it, the
- pleasure of his friend's cock inside of him. Leif took no
- time at all in this, the urgency of coming pre-empting the
- slowness of pleasure. And he pulled out of Dirk's ass,
- sprayed his come over Dirk's body, a copious flow of white
- jism that coated him thoroughly.
- As Leif finished, he fell onto his friend, caught his
- breath, helped Dirk to his feet. Both of their chests sticky
- with come, they turned to the Emperor.
- Dirk found himself changing his mind. With his freedom,
- he and Leif could settle within the Empire. Build a farm.
- And keep expressing their new-found love for each other.
- "Were you pleased with us?" Leif and Dirk shouted
- together the words of victory. And the Emperor nodded, tossed
- down a bag of gold into each of their waiting hands.
- And Dirk smiled at his old friend and new lover. They
- had much to discuss. But words weren't needed. He reached
- for Leif's cock, grabbed it, squeezed it.
- And Leif reached over, took Dirk's cock and held it
- tenderly. They ignored the crowd as they held each other's
- cock. With the simplicity of their people, the decision had
- been made.
