🔞| Explicit sexual content | Mature audiences only
The summer days of 1995 were getting longer, but the rhythm of village life remained unchanged. The fields greened under the sun, the stream flowed quietly by the ruins of the mill, and I, Tamás, at 20 years old, felt the internal storm that wouldn’t subside. The memory of the Budapest date was still fresh, but at home shame and joy mixed in me like storm clouds over the Börzsöny. Joy because for the first time I felt truly alive, desired, but shame came right after, a heavy weight on my chest. “What if someone finds out? What if Zoli bácsi sees it on me?” The fear of being exposed was constant, I watched every step, every glance in the family. Around our house the garden flowers bloomed, the air full of the earth’s scent, but I only felt the confinement, like a cage built around me by society.
Then the letter came. My Budapest friend gave my address to a local guy, Dani. The envelope waited at the post office, simple white paper, but the words inside burned my hand: “Hi Tamás, I heard about you. Meet at the village edge, the old mill? Dani.” My heart pounded like a drum when I went to the meeting. Among the mill ruins, where the stream flowed, sunlight filtered through the tree leaves, Dani waited. Tall, dark-haired guy with a groomed beard, masculine body that attracted me immediately. “Hi, Tamás. I’m Dani. The Budapest guy told me about you. We’re in the same boat, right?” he said smiling, and I nodded, my voice stuck. We talked for hours, sitting by the stream bank, where the water’s sparkle reflected our faces. I told him about my family, my secret desires, and he about his. “I’m scared too, but we have to live, right?” he laughed, and his hand accidentally touched mine. We were sympathetic to each other right away, I saw the same secret desire in his eyes that I felt. More meetings followed. Walks in the fields where the wheat rustled in the wind, talks about our future: “We’ll leave here together, Tamás? A place where no one interferes in our life.” We planned, and the attraction grew stronger.
Zoli bácsi’s hints became more frequent. In the kitchen, where we sat at the old table, the lamp’s yellow light illuminated his face, and he just asked: “Tamás, you’re over 20, where’s your girlfriend? The neighbor girls are all married, and you’re here alone like a loser. Are you even a man?” His words were like knife stabs, reminding me of the childhood beatings, the “man-making” I never forgave. I worked hard on the farm, the sun burned my back, my hands bloody from work, I was tired, but Zoli didn’t let me rest. “Work, you lazy, don’t rest like a woman!” he shouted day after day. One evening the argument exploded. We stood in the kitchen, mother already in bed, the house quiet, only the clock ticking heard. Zoli sipped beer, and started again: “Tamás, you’re the family’s shame. 20 years old with no girlfriend, just hanging around like a good-for-nothing. How long do you think I’ll tolerate this?” I snapped back, my voice trembling with anger: “Leave me alone, Zoli bácsi! My life is not your business!” He jumped up, his face red with rage, and grabbed an iron pipe from the corner. “You little shit, I’ll teach you respect! Like when you were a kid and didn’t listen!” he yelled, and swung. The pipe’s weight cut hard into my arm, pain sharp, blood oozed from the wound. I defended myself, pulled away, but he attacked again, the pipe whistled in the air, I backed to the door. “You bastard, I raised you, and now you behave like this?” he shouted, but I ran out into the dark, on the village streets, where dogs barked in the moonlight.
I fled to Dani. His apartment was on the village edge, a small house where candlelight danced on the walls in the room. I slept there with him, and the first sex happened. It was like a wildfire. Dani gently stroked my wound, then undressed me, his hands glided on my chest, feeling my hairy skin, my heartbeat. “Relax, Tamás, you’re safe with me,” he whispered, and we kissed, our tongues intertwined. His mouth was hot, his tongue played with me, I moaned, my hand in his hair. We lay on the bed, where the sheet was soft like his skin, and he orally pleasured me. His mouth enveloped my cock, slowly, rhythmically, I trembled with pleasure, and the orgasm came in waves. Then I took him in my mouth, feeling his hardness, his hairy body, and finally he penetrated me. Slowly, with oil, pain mixed with pleasure, but the rhythm, his movement, his hands on my hips, we both sweated, and we reached the peak together. “I love you, Tamás,” he said after, and I believed him, we whispered plans for our future: “We’ll leave here, build a new life together, where no one interferes.”
The next day I went home, mother waited in the kitchen, at the old table, where tea steamed, the wall family pictures reminded of the past. “You apologize to Zoli bácsi, you were disrespectful!” she said, and I exploded: “Mother, you never stand up for me! You let him break me, day after day!” I shouted, my voice echoed in the room. We argued, mother cried, but didn’t change. I moved to grandmother’s, a small house on the other end of the village, where the garden was full of flowers, the air fresh with morning dew.
With Dani we met daily. In the fields, by the stream, or at his place, where sex became wilder. One evening in his room, in the moonlight, we undressed, our bodies hairy, masculine, his hands glided on my chest, my beard rubbed his neck, and I rode him. His cock inside me, our movement rhythm, the moans, hands on thighs, on our hairy legs, and orgasms came in waves, desire-arousing, sweaty, perfect. Six months everything was good. We were in love, secret dates, love, planning the future: “We’ll go to Budapest, live together, no one knows about us, but we’ll be happy.”
Then Dani blurted out: “Tamás, I fell in love with another guy.” The world collapsed. His words cut like Zoli bácsi’s pipe, but deeper. “Why? Why now?” I cried, the pain like an abyss swallowing me. I broke, alone in grandmother’s house, in the room where moonlight filtered in, I took pills, knife in hand, blood dripped from my arm, “It’s over, I can’t take it anymore,” I thought, the world darkened. The pain was physical, my chest tight, breath stuck, memories swirled. Childhood beatings, secret desires, Dani’s kisses, all mixed into a dark mass. Grandmother found me, took me to hospital, where lying on the bed, among white walls, I woke up, realizing freedom’s price is high, but I must live.
