Chapter 55

=Normal POV=
(Monday, 3/23/2020; 9:00 am)
(Barbarchi City, Archipelago)
(Hunter's House)

Eight days into the lockdown, which was very extensive and explained by Trayden's father last Monday at 8:00 in the morning. It was everything Trayden told Hunter that would likely happen, but it seemed well handled and no one was rioting over the decision. Dustin announced several measures to ensure the safety of the residents and people were happy with them even though the idea of lockdown wasn't awesome. Everything that wasn't essential work was shut down, face masks were required anytime you entered a public building, temperature checks, and an organized method of people getting their shopping done. Those who tested positive or were on quarantine were able to use delivery service, as were disabled and elderly. Everyone else shopped by schedule to keep mass crowding at stores down. Also there were limits on certain items so people couldn't hoard. Restaurants could stay open if they could do business by delivery service. Unemployment was available for those who were unable to work from home. And those who were unemployed and couldn't collect could apply for island assistance programs. There was a freeze on mortgages, rents, and utilities for those who qualified. Anyone homeless were given motel rooms if the homeless shelters had no space.

The borders were closed as well, no one in or out except deliveries to stores, and those were screened well before being put on shelves. So far, everything was holding well and it was Dustin's hope that after a few weeks passed, all of this would be over and there would be a slow reopening to avoid more cases and causing a surge of infections. Outside of the lockdown status, Trayden forgave his friends, as expected. They reached out to him a few days after the incident to apologize over Skype in a group call. When all that was squared away, the conversation turned to information they learned the night lockdown started of how Hunter planned to continue the show without having the business open. It was a big idea, but not impossible. With Trayden's help, the dancers understood how it could work and then a plan was made to test out them doing routines while not physically together. Since nobody lived alone, it made things a bit easier and Hunter was the only one who had the added feature of pole dancing. Gregory was all for everything as he was brought into the meeting to see what the plans were.

A schedule was set for the group pieces, but the solo routines could go up whenever thanks to Hunter and Trayden's ingenious idea to make Wild Fantasies a website where viewers could go to still see the shows, and choose who they saw. Obviously, there would be a fee to gain access to individual shows and there was also a membership option. During shows, customers could leave tips. Users could subscribe and receive notifications when shows would start. The same rules applied that private parts had to be covered. Trayden would be managing the entire online system. Hunter had sent out announcements to go over the news, radio, and in newspapers about Wild Fantasies Virtual Show. So far, people were excited and already joining to be ready for tonight and they did understand that because of lockdown, there wouldn't be any hotseats. Although, if any dancers wanted to grind on one another for show, they were welcome to. Hunter was still trying to see if he could get Trayden to agree to a lap dance, but so far, it wasn't happening.

Trayden was still to shy about all that, and Hunter understood. The show went live at 5 pm, so Hunter and Trayden would be spending the day making sure everything was ready to go. But for now, they woke up a little while ago and had showered. The two were sitting down to breakfast at Hunter's dining room table.

"You think we'll have a successful first night?" Hunter asked Trayden once they were settled at the table with their food.

"Based on all the number of signups we've had since you made the announcement, I'd like to think so," Trayden replied. "When we start checking equipment, I'll call the others and make sure they're set too,"

"Right on top of things," Hunter chuckled. "I don't think we could have pulled something like this off without you, babe,"

"You're pretty creative without me," Trayden smiled. "I'd like to think we put our heads together for this one,"

"I guess I'll accept sharing the credit with you," Hunter joked.

"The original idea was yours, baby. I just offered an added piece that would involve the others as you guys do some of this stuff together," Trayden responded.

"We all appreciate it, I just hope it goes smoothly," Hunter said.

"I don't think there will be issues on our end, we just have to make sure the group things are timed right," Trayden informed. "I may be able to sync everyone's computers up, or control them from mine…I'll test the theory after breakfast," He shrugged.

"Could you really do that?" Hunter wondered.

"Won't know until I try," Trayden smiled. "It would help as far as everyone's computers being in sync for group routines. If I have control over the system, I can make sure everything runs smoothly with time slots, group, and whatnot."

"Skilled with computers?" Hunter asked gently.

"Well, before things got so crazy with my old job, I did some online courses for technology. With the age we live in, I felt like those could be useful skills," Trayden admitted.

"Hey, I'm not knocking it," Hunter chuckled. "Definitely seems like I met you at the right time," Trayden blushed a little. "I mean it, baby. I really am glad that we get to do this and spend time with one another."

"I'm happy too," Trayden responded. And he really was. The two continued to talk casually while eating their breakfast and were genuinely looking forward to tonight.

. . .

(11:00 pm)
The day had been productive, Trayden did manage to get access to the performers computers and he could manage everything from his laptop when it came to synchronous playing of music and going live. That's all Trayden needed control over for the sake of group routines for the girls, boys, and then all together. The solo routines could be handled by the individual. Hunter and Trayden got all the equipment set up, and did a few test runs of everything to make sure it was all working correctly. Trayden checked in with the others, and helped them through certain processes if they needed it. As Trayden predicted, the first night of this endeavor was successful. Gregory was on Skype with Trayden, helping monitor the money that was coming in for memberships and tips. Trayden made sure to set up links for people to tip to the group, which would be split, or if a customer just wanted to tip to a particular dancer. All membership and visiting fees went to another spot for Gregory to monitor as those funds would get transferred by Greg to the business's account.

Running things from one computer was fairly easy for Trayden, and when Hunter wasn't performing, he was helping Trayden monitor things. Trayden stayed very organized and on schedule. He kept a notebook beside him to mark things down that may need addressing. It was decided to cut things at 11:00 pm because that seemed like a good time to cut the shows, so Hunter had made his goodbye with the others and when Trayden got the hand signal, he pressed the button to stop the live feed.

"How'd we do?" Hunter wondered, leaning over Trayden's shoulder as others were joining in the Skype call to hear information as well.

"Really good. A lot of members who joined over the last week, guests who tuned in are signing up. All the buttons worked right, and the only complaints were that people were experiencing lag. Easily fixable, we just need a server boost for the site to support the amount of traffic," Trayden informed as he was clicking a few things to view the site statistics.

"What about the lag in our videos. You might have music and the live feed synced, but that doesn't little when it's not all together because of lag in general," Ethan wondered.

"That's not the system, that's your internet," Trayden stated.

"Suggestions then?" Thaxter asked.

"Twenty or fifteen minutes before showtime, turn off everything connected to Wi-Fi except your computer and camera. Close any tabs you don't need open, make sure nothing is blocking your router…Uh…Maybe if you're able to move it close to your computer? That's all I have for that. Or contact your internet providers and see if they can give you a faster speed? Might cost a little more, but small price to pay for better quality," Trayden offered.

"We'll give those things a try tomorrow, and if that doesn't work, we'll see about boosting the speed," Bryan nodded.

"What do we do if it still happens after the changes made and before contacting our provider?" Eli inquired.

"You guys know the routines. If you see lag happening, just keep dancing and eventually, things will catch up. If you stop to try and fix a lag mid-dance, you're out of sync. So no matter what, just keep the routine going," Hunter told the others.

"Don't forget that people reporting you were lagging may not have been you. It could have been their own internet, so Hunter's right, just keep dancing as if you guys and girls were doing it in person on stage," Trayden agreed. "No comments were made on individual feeds, just the group one and that is to be expected if everyone is watching the mass routines," Trayden continued looking through a few things. "When you guys break off for solo dances, the traffic on the main link dies down and starts breaking off to where people went for your solo routines," He added.

"Sounds good," Devon replied. "Alright, is that everything for tonight? We good to go?" He wondered.

Trayden looked back to Hunter for confirmation, and the man nodded. "Yeah, you're all set. Let's log on at 4:00 tomorrow and we'll do another check over of systems before the show starts." Hunter told them. With everyone in agreement, they said their goodbyes and began hanging up. When everyone was out, Hunter talked about a few things with Gregory while Trayden went off to the bathroom and by the time he came out, Hunter was closing the computer.

"All done for the night?" Trayden asked.

"Yep. Greg just needed help figuring out how to distribute the group tips to everyone," Hunter chuckled as he turned in the chair and face Trayden now. Hunter smiled as he brought his hands to Trayden's hips, then pulled the man closer to him and Trayden ended up sitting on his lap and draping his arms over Hunter's shoulders. "I don't think we could have pulled this off without you, babe,"

"Now, I thought we went over this earlier," Trayden giggled a bit. "We did this together,"

"As I'm sure we'll do many more things together," Hunter replied. "We make a good team, and couple,"

"I'll agree with that," Trayden said.

"Ready to go to bed yet?" Hunter questioned.

"Not really. You?" Trayden stared into his eyes.

"Nope," Hunter responded. "What do you propose we do about this not tired thing?"

"I'm sure we could think of something to tire us out," Trayden informed. "Any suggestions?"

Hunter leaned up some and kissed Trayden deeply, quickly turning it into something passionate. After a few moments, Hunter broke the action and smiled. "My room or yours?"

"Yours," Trayden answered as he got off Hunter's lap and waited for him to stand up.

"Go on. I'll meet you there once I shut everything down," Hunter stole another kiss. Trayden nodded and walked to Hunter's bedroom, he got comfortable sitting on the edge until Hunter came in and closed the door. "You're overdressed for bed," He teased.

"Maybe you should come fix that," Trayden replied, standing up to be same height as Hunter when he approached.

"Since you offered, I think I will," Hunter captured Trayden's lips fast, setting his hands on Trayden's hips and making it so their bodies were pressed together.

/Lemon Start/

As always, Trayden and Hunter got into their love-making quickly through making out and the stripping of their clothes off. There was no need to waste a lot of time on getting clothes off, but sometimes, the males did take it slower for a more sensual session between them. With both males now nude and erect, Hunter backed Trayden up until he felt the bed behind his legs, and then Hunter eased Trayden to lay down before climbing over and straddling his boyfriend's hips. Hunter leaned forward, pressing his body against Trayden's, and quickly resuming their kissing. Hunter gently rocked his hips into Trayden's, letting their cocks touch and rub one another creating a pleasant feeling for both of them. In this, Hunter's lips moved from Trayden's and went along the side of his cheek, then to the earlobe where Hunter gave Trayden a little nip that caused the man to moan. Hunter continued the trail down Trayden's neck, assaulting it with his lips. When Hunter reached the spot that was between Trayden's neck and shoulder, he switched from kissing to sucking and giving love bites that made Trayden buck his hips a little.

Hunter placed one more kiss on the spot before raising his head to look at Trayden's flustered face with red cheeks and slightly heavier breathing. "You alright?"

Trayden nodded. "It felt good,"

"I'm glad," Hunter then leaned forward and kissed him again. The two made out for a few moments while Hunter continued to lightly grind against Trayden. Hunter broke the kiss and looked down at his boyfriend. "Want to try something we haven't tonight?" Trayden wasn't nervous to try new things anymore, he and Hunter had done just about everything within their boundaries. Trayden's only hesitation came from curiosity as to what the new thing would be, but he nodded to Hunter that he wanted to try. "I'm sure its something you're familiar with, but I figured we could do sixty-nine?" He suggested.

"I've actually never done it, but I do know what it is," Trayden stated. Hunter gave him another quick kiss, then he pushed himself up and laid on his side on the bed. Trayden sat up some and adjusted to be laying opposite of Hunter's position and his head was now level with Hunter's hardened length. Hunter wasted no time in his actions, he lightly used his fingers to run along Trayden's cock, the wrap his hand around to start stroking. Trayden groaned and lightly held Hunter's shaft before bringing his mouth closer to lick it a few times, then brought his mouth over and began sucking. Hunter moaned and from there the two just continued to stroke and suck one another. Hunter changed things up a bit on his end by getting a finger wet with his mouth and adjusting to be able to start lightly massaging Trayden's rear, earning a loud moan from him.

Hunter gently eased his finger inside, and Trayden only tensed a moment, but relaxed and Hunter started pumping his finger in and out gently. Once Hunter found a good pace to finger Trayden at, he also got back to giving Trayden a blowjob, which only caused the man to moan and try to stay focused to continue his actions to Hunter's cock. After a few minutes passed, Hunter added a second finger, making Trayden tighten at the feeling, but it wasn't from pain. He'd more than become accustomed to the feelings and disregarding the second or two feeling of being entered, he was fine. It only felt different this time because Hunter was using spit as lube, which sometimes proved ineffective and not as good.

"Do you want me finish you like this or jump into the better part?" Hunter asked, pausing from the blowjob he was giving.

"I won't last long if we fuck from this point," Trayden admitted. He was way to close to orgasm.

"Recovery won't take too long if I keep you in a state of arousal after cumming once," Hunter stated.

"You can do that?" Trayden lifted his head to look at his boyfriend.

"Of course. I'll show you if you want?" Hunter offered. Trayden nodded to him, curious and obviously horny. Hunter smiled and went back to what he was doing before. Trayden moaned out and started back on giving Hunter the blowjob. Hunter shifted pace and hit Trayden's G-Spot several times. Trayden tensed up when he felt his orgasm sneak forward. "Cum, babe," Hunter invited.

Trayden couldn't hold back, Hunter knew just the right way to touch him, how to make him cum instantly if he wanted. Trayden's hips bucked slightly and he released the next time Hunter his his G-Spot. "F-Fuck!" Trayden cried out in pleasure. Hunter stayed in place to swallow, and he also kept up the fingering, only slower to keep Trayden aroused without too much stimulation to make it uncomfortable. "Gods!" Trayden moaned.

"That's it," Hunter said gently. Trayden worked on not losing control of his breathing. "Nice and easy…" He coached before moving his head in more to lightly use his mouth to play with Trayden's semi-hard cock. Little shocks of pleasure still went through him, keeping him from going completely soft. Hunter stopped after a little bit, not wanting to send Trayden into overstimulation, and readjusted to turned around and be laying beside Trayden. The two were facing one another now, Trayden was still breathing somewhat heavily and Hunter was using his hand to gently stroke Trayden's length, but it was a feather-light touch. "You okay?"

Trayden managed a few nods of his head and Hunter gave him a kiss on the lips. "Feels different,"

"Supposed to feel that way, and a good way to work on stamina. This let's you enjoy your first orgasm, longer and keep you hard. Most people release and spend too much time trying to come down from the high, but they're also cooling off their own arousal. If you keep up the stimulation at a slow pace, for males at least, you can stay semi-hard and be able to build up to another orgasm. Through the building up, you'll reach max hardness again," Hunter told him. "At least, in my experience." He shrugged a little.

"Good to know," Trayden smiled. He did still enjoy learning bit of information.

"You want top or bottom tonight?" Hunter inquired.

"I always pick," Trayden chuckled. "What do you want?"

"I always do top, personal preference even though I'm happy to be bottom if my partner wants to top instead. For tonight, I'll top, but I want you to ride," Hunter replied.

Trayden had never ridden Hunter before, but they were trying new positions all the time, so he supposed tonight he could ride Hunter. "Cool with me," Trayden informed as Hunter beamed and the two quickly moved themselves on the bed to continue their love-making. Hunter laid down, head against the pillows, and then he got his condom on. Hunter added lube over the sheathe afterwards and used the extra to Trayden's rear. Once that was all set, Hunter guided Trayden over him, and used his hand to hold his hardened length. Trayden reached back to take hold of Hunter's cock and set it at his entrance.

"It's gonna feel a little different, so take it slow if you need to," Hunter advised.

Trayden nodded as he started working himself down onto Hunter's shaft, he did have to lower slowly, but Hunter apparently enjoyed the feeling since he moaned the whole time. Once on fully, Trayden took a moment to adjust to the somewhat new feeling and then he began moving to find a rhythm that felt right for him to use. Hunter had explained it to him once before that riding let the person on top find what worked for them and gave them the feeling they wanted out of it, so Trayden was working to try and find those two things. After a couple minutes, Trayden found something and stuck to it. Hunter held Trayden's hips, smiling, and moaning at the feeling of Trayden riding him. Trayden was moaning too and gradually picking up speed in his movements. Hunter was the one who hadn't cum once already, so his orgasm wouldn't take long to reach, but the man wouldn't give into his until Trayden was ready again. That was Hunter's things, and Trayden knew it too well. Hunter never came before him unless they were doing hand and blowjobs at separate times to one another.

After a bit, Hunter started to thrust upward to meet Trayden's movements. Each one drove Trayden a little closer to cumming again, jacking up the orgasm slowly because Hunter was thrusting just right to hit Trayden's G-Spot when they came flush with one another. Hunter eventually moved one of his hands down to Trayden's fully hardened cock now, and took hold to start stroking. "Mmm…" Trayden moaned. Hunter made sure to move his hand in a way that went over the head slowly, and let him rub his thumb over the slit where precum was sitting. Hunter would bring his hand all the way to the base of Trayden's length after going over the head, and this became repetitive until Trayden's movements started to fall out of pattern as he was seeking to reach his release. Hunter fixed the strokes he was doing before to just be back in forth now, tightening the grip just a little. "Ah…Gods," Trayden panted out.

"Don't hold back, baby…Cum for me," Hunter told him. "I'll be right there with you," He added, now taking over the thrusting to be hard and fast as Trayden could only come undone in a mess of pleasure. His movements had stopped and gave all control to Hunter to push him over the edge. It only took a few moments more when Hunter sat up some to capture Trayden's lips that Trayden moaned into the kiss and gripped Hunter's shoulders that he came quickly with Hunter doing the same. Hunter made sure to stop pumping Trayden's cock once the orgasm hit, and the two were able to just ride their climaxes together, breathing heavily, sweating, and kissing in between trying to catch their breath.

A few minutes passed as the lovers were coming down from the pleasure high and had their breathing somewhat under control, they shared a few kisses before Trayden slowly moved off of Hunter to let him sit up and remove the condom. Hunter tied it off and tossed it in the bin beside the bed, next he grabbed one or two wet wipes to clean off. Trayden was passed one to him and he did the same thing before getting comfortable in Hunter's bed together.

/Lemon End/

Trayden cuddled up to Hunter, laying his head on Hunter shoulder and draping his arm over Hunter's midsection. Hunter wrapped his arm around Trayden's shoulders and lightly trailed his fingers up and down. Hunter turned his head to place a kiss on Trayden's forehead and gave a gentle squeeze.

"Did you like riding?" Hunter wondered.

"I did," Trayden replied softly, then yawned. "I enjoy all the new things I get to do with you,"

"No nervousness?" Hunter inquired.

"None," Trayden smiled.

"I'm glad I got to be the one who helped remove it," Hunter relaxed, closing his eyes.

"Happy my first time was with you," Trayden said, beginning to doze off. "Happy that every time has been with you," He yawned again, snuggling up more. "Hope it never changes…Happy with you," His voice had been going out as he drifted to sleep, but Hunter caught the words. They took him by surprise, but now wasn't the time to question Trayden's comments. Hunter wanted time to go over it and understand the meaning. For now, it was best to get some rest and think tomorrow with a clear head.

Hunter smiled as the words went through his mind again before he too yawned and settled to let himself go to sleep. "Hope it never changes either because I'm happy with you, babe," Hunter whispered as the tiredness began to take over and put him to sleep shortly after he said what he did in response to Trayden.
