Guest are pouring in and drinks are being poured. Tommy and Adam greet and welcome the guest all looking dapper in their best tux and eye candy on their arms. Most are regulars of the annual event, some come from all parts of the world and there are a few newbies that are welcomed and given a tour of the mansion by a red-tie young men. Newbies are shown an introductory video and sign a confidentiality agreement- Betting and hanging people is still illegal in the state. Newbies are not expected to volunteer their names for the race but they sometimes do after being brought into the group by a sponsor that may have told them more than they should have. Most come to satisfy the fetish of watching a hot guy hang. Many come for the party or gambling which also includes card and dice games that go on in side rooms.
After a nice shower together Cory and Jared make the fine adjustments to their hair and tux before they go down to meet with the guest. Cory straightens Jared's royal blue tie on his neck even though it was perfect the way it was.
Cory :" This looks so hot on you."
Jared smiles " Thanks, don't think that you have to get one too."
Cory's smile always accompanied by his cute dimples makes him look so cute as he says :" It's not up to me." Jared kisses his cheek and says "This is going to be scary fun."
They pick the perfect time to go down and make a fanciful entrance. Most of the guest have arrived and an announcement is made to welcome Jared as last year's winner of the noose race. A few regular guest and some new participants gather to meet him. Adam and Tommy watch as their young protégés show off.
Tommy : "I don't think you have to worry that Cory will hang he's too cute. Most want to see a more masculine guy hang."
Adam :"Yeah, but his abs and body would look hot dancing in air."
Tommy :"Maybe in a couple of years."
Derrick, the hot young man they met last year joins Cory and Jared.
Jared :" I was hoping you would be here."
Derrick :" I have been lucky so far, I'm reluctant to try again this year. I used the money for college and now that I graduated I really don't need to take a chance."
Cory :" Forget the money, the antisapation is such a rush. And did you really come just to watch?"
Derrick :" Ha, We'll see after a few more drinks."
Jared :" I just wanted to see you shirtless again."
Derrick grins - his grin is the definitions difference from a smile and a grin -and drinks the last of his drink tilting his head back exposing his strong handsome throat. Videos of various hangings and music plays as most of the guest arrive and get into the party spirit. A handsome young man approaches Jared, Cory and Derrick.
" Hi, I'm Troy - in his Australian accent - I really enjoyed watching you guys last year and I am considering putting my name in this time, any advice?"
Jared :" Wow, you have a strong looking neck. And you weigh what 125 pounds?"
Troy :" About that plus or minus a pound of two. I lift and for my short stature I lift more than guys much bigger than me. My upper body is right where I like it."
Derrek :"Where I like it too."
Troy smiles " Thanks. This is my second time here and I am almost where I have the nerve to put my name in."
Jared :" we won't tell you to do it, I'm already going to worry about this guy (holding Cory's shoulder) but there's an exhibit that might give you an idea if it's something that you might want to try."
Troy :" Yes, the new gallows. I was thinking about that but it's very expensive and the list is long. I wouldn't be able to try it before be required time to submit your name."
Cory :"Let me see if I can get you a discount and an early drop time."
Cory :" That hot Aussie there is thinking of putting in his name, I think that if he had a ride on the gallows it may tilt him towards going for it."
Adam nods his head :" Wow! He would get lots of bets, let's get him a ride."
Adam goes to Troy :" Let's get you a ride on the gallows, then you can decide if you want to put your name in, you're just the kind of guy we are looking for."
They all go to the exhibit and Adam gets him a early slot for a drop. He gets Andy, one of the hangmen for the exhibit to give him the ride when his turn comes up. Andy is the most popular of the four hangmen for obvious reasons. He's a fit and beautiful blond with a gymnasts body in the hangmans robe and hood.
Andy tells Adam :" I will give him a good ride."
They all stand and watch a few guys take a ride on the gallows. Then they call Troy over to a screened off area. Jared ask if he can observe.
Andy :" It's just prep so he can have anyone he wants."
Troy :" Then you all can come ."
Derrick, Cory and Jared follow him behind the screen. They ask Troy to remove his shirt and stand on a scale. Their eyes open wide when they sees his shirtless body.
Derrick :" Wow, can I touch?"
Jared slaps his hand as he reaches out.
Andy :" Since Adam ordered your drop you have the option of wearing what you want. If you want to simulate the final hour here I can get you the speedos they would have you wear. "
All the guys eagerly agree he should wear the speedos - then Troy asked to get them. Stripes and puts on the speedos. His dick already hard is stuffed into the speedo. Andy offers him a condom - "Some guys don't want to soil themselves."
Derrick :" Want some help with that?"
With his hands shaking a bit he looks at Derrick "Really?" Derrick reaches out his hand for the condom and Troy hands it to him. Derrick bites open the pack and takes it out. He gets down on one knee and gently pulls his speedo down exposing his fully hard dick. Cory and Jared watch with their mouths and eyes wide open. As Derrick carefully puts the condom on him it makes Troy's abs tighten making both Cory and Jared swoon with an "Ahhhhh"
Troy blushes and the veins in his neck bulge.
Andy:" That was a first. So hot."
He ducks out to see where they were in the queue. Troy pulls up his speedos as Derrick stands up.
Cory :" They decided to give out condoms after I went for a ride in the trial runs. Good thing I had a change of clothes. "
Troy :" Ha, Derrick almost made it a good reason and I didn't even have a noose around my neck."
Andy returns with two other guys. They take Troy's arms and tie his hands behind his back. Andy looks at the other guys :"it's starting, you guys should find a good place to watch."
They leave Troy with "Good luck, enjoy the ride and we'll see you after you drop."
They attach the harness to him and get him ready. Then walk him out to the steps of the gallows. Troy slows his walk when the noose is in full view just a few feet away. They move him over the trap door. Andy takes the noose and places it over his head. Troy's awesome chiseled abs betray his calm demeanor showing that he is breathing fast. Andy makes the official announcements of a legal hanging.
Finally :"Do you have anything you want to say?"
Troy shakes his head No. Andy adjusts the noose above his apple and makes it snug. By now a large crowd gathers to watch this beautiful body waiting to drop. Andy steps to the lever and waits for the signal. A dramatic pause is to let those watching enjoy the view of him with his hands bound behind his back and noose snug around his neck and handsome hangman standing next to him. Monitors thought out the mansion show it making most stop in their tracks to watch. Troy swallows hard making the rope bounce up and down causing an audible grown from the crowd. Andy reaches for the lever and gives it a firm pull. The door opens under Troy's feet with a loud bang and he falls through. The thin bungy cords are barely noticeable making it look like Troy is only suspended by the noose which holds a third of his weight. Troy's awesome body reacts like a real hanging making every muscle tense as he kicks and twist for the 30 second ride. The crowd watching cheers and whistles for the show he puts on making Tommy realize that he should have charged a fee to watch. Andy rushes down to stand under the gallows as they bring his body down. They quickly release the bungy cords and have him lie on a gurney like a dead body would after being hanged. Andy removed the noose and they carry him back behind the screen so they can do a quick exam and then he can get out of the harness and back into his clothes. After a quick check up he catches his breath and thanked Andy and his crew and went to find his new buddies. Still shirtless he sees them waiting for him and cannot hide the smile and excitement from the ride he just had. They give him high fives and pats on the back. Guys that watched from the gallery came to tell him thanks and good show.
Troy :" That was it I'm putting in my name for the big show. The condom came in handy, I have to go to a bathroom and take it off and clean up a little."
Derrick smiles :" Damn, I almost needed one watching you kick and twist."
Jared :" You can use the bathroom in our room upstairs."
Troy :" Thanks, you guys stayed here last night?
Cory :" Nice perk for knowing one of the founders."
They all go up to Cory's room. A lavish room you would expect in a mansion. Troy uses the bathroom as the guys relax and talk about Troy's hanging and body.
Derrick :" I am so glad he's going to put his name in he's so hot."
Jared :" Well only second to you. And does that mean you are too?"
Derricks famous grin : "Yes, I will also."
Troy comes out and joins the guys and ask Derrick for a drink from his glass. Derrick is happy to share with him. Troy takes a big drink :" Damn, I needed that after that ride. It was so real it's amazing!"
Derrick reaches and touched the red line still visble on his neck.
Jared :" You can watch a video of it down stairs."
Cory :" Actually you can watch it right here on this monitor. Here, let me put it on."
Jared gets out some minies from the rooms mini-bar as they get ready to watch. Derrick fills his glass and shares with Troy even though there are clean glasses there. They stand just feet from the TV to watch. Troy is transfixed on watching every detail of his ride. " Damm, look at my abs! I thought I was acting calm and cool ."
Jared :" Yeah, we have been looking at your abs."
Derrick :" It's a wonder that your not busting through that condom."
Troy is startled when the door opens and he falls through - they laugh as he jumped. He watches until he sees Andy take off the noose. " Wow, that was awesome! Again!. You can't even see the bungee cords. It felt so real."
Jared :" No, the Real thing feels 'Real' ! - I know!"
They watch Troy hang a couple more times then the phone rings and Cory answers it. " Ok, we will be right down."
He hangs up " We have 30 minutes to sign the release forms and get our golden noose."
They make their way down and sign in except Jared. They take off their shirts and tie and put on the Golden Noose to show they are in the Race.
Cory looks at Jared with his dimples in full view but no smile and says :"Wish me luck."
Jared gives Cory a hug and kisses his neck :" I don't know if I can watch if you are hanged tonight."
Cory :" You just have to be there after."
Derrick and Troy join them and go back out to the party and find the others that already had put in their names. They grab a drink and listen as they announce that all ten are registered and the betting windows are open. Their names and faces show up on the monitors all around the mansion even on the outdoor patio near the bar. Odds for Troy and Derrick go down right away making it more likely one of them will hang. They meet up with two others with a gold noose around their necks. After some pleasentries they continue to mingle and Cory catches up with Adam.
Adam :" You look really hot tonight, are you having a good time?"
Cory :" YES! We are really having a great time. Derrick and Troy are hitting it off and after Troy went for the ride you set up, they both decided to put their names in the race."
Adam :" Yes. I saw. Thanks for helping with that he's going to make us a lot of money tonight. And Jared looks handsome with the blue tie. "
Cory :" Yes, and when he takes it off tonight in my room."
Adam smiles " Go and have a great time, I have to check on the numbers coming in to the betting room."
The party roars on and the first name off the list is called "Randy I have $1,000 in chips for you."
The handsome young man runs up on the platform to get his chips, happy that his neck won't be in the noose dangling in front of him.
Derrick :" I don't know, there is something about this time when I don't 'Need' the money."
Cory :" I have to admit that the first time I saw you I wanted to see you hang. Now that I know you better I wish anyone else but you."
Derrick :" Thanks Cory that's sweet of you to say."
Jared to Derrick :" I still want to see you hang."
Derrick smiles " Thanks, I think. But hey $25 Gs. I can still find a way to play with that."
Cory :" $35 Gs - they upped it. The house made near a million last year."
Another name is called "Terry, come and get $2,000 in chips."
Cory :" What ever I get I'm cashing in right away."
They walk towards to the gallows exhibit when they run into Eric the Hangman. They introduce Troy to him.
Eric :" Hey I hope you are having a good time, sometimes guys get caught up in the antisapation and worry more than having a good time."
Troy :" I’m glad I met these guys they are making it very enjoyable."
Eric :" Good, and awesome that we have an Ausie with us."
Adam walks up and listens in. After he gets the guys together.
Adam :" All these guys paid a lot of money to see you, take selfies, have a drink, or just ask questions about what the antisapation is like. Have a good time but mingle a little more. Hit the gaming rooms and patio. Wish them luck for their bets.
They all nod and go throughout the mansion. They occasionally stop to watch the monitors of past hangings when they know who it was. After an hour three more names are called. In fourty minutes that last three will be taken into custody and preped. Ryan, one of the three finalist last year, gos to Cory.
Ryan :" Damn, last year you and I just missed dancing in air."
Cory :" Hey Ryan you look great. Do you think you and will be up there again this time?"
Ryan :" I have been lucky the last four years, I don't want to jinx it."
Troy :" Wow, this is your fifth time?"
Ryan :" Last year was the closes I came."
Twenty minutes pass since the last name was called. The announcement of the sixth :"Kevin ".
He goes and gets his chips for $6,000.
Jared and Cory go outside to the courtyard near the fire pit. Dimly lit in a beautiful romantic setting Jared hold Cory and gives him a long kiss. After Cory sees the concern on Jared's face.
Cory :"Even if I hang you know that I will be ok."
Jared :" I know. Do you want me to watch if..."
Cory :" I don't know why but Yes. I want to able to see you out there."
Jared :"Ok, I'll be there."
They hold each other and slow dance until they hear the announcement calling all partisapantst in.
Guards with the red ties start to get in position, locking doors and standing by to take the final three for prep. The faces on those left are serious and a bit strained. They force a smile for those that want a selfie or want to wish them luck.
Announcer :" After the next name is called the last three will be taken back and will return with Eric the Hangman on the center stage. But 'Cory' won't be joining them, Cory come and get your chips.
Cory jumps up and down then hugs Jared.
Jared :"Quick go get your chips."
Cory runs up on to the stage and waves as they hand him his chips. As he comes down he sees Derrick, Ryan and Troy being escorted to the prep room. They let Cory come in to retrieve his shirt and change as the others are stripping to get the speedos on. Cory puts on his shirt and says " Jared and I will be here after the drop."
All three are bare naked and hard and give him a polite wave.
They look at each other as they slip their speedos. They are given instructions as guards get their hands behind their back one at a time to tie their hands and spray their bodies with coconut oil. Beads of sweat builds on their bodies. They hear the announcer as he gets the crowd fired up. The crowd and music thunder through the wall. Eric comes in to talk to the them. "I will make it as painless as I can which ever one of you hang. I have never had one not stand up in less than an hour. This will all be over in less than twenty minutes. I will see you out there."
The announcer :" Here is the Hangman for tonight's event 'Hangman Eric!"
The crowd cheers and whistles and the kiltted hangman comes up on the stage. Then one at a time they announce and bring out the last three. "Ryan was in the running last year if you remember and pressed his luck now five times in a row !"
Eric shows off Ryan as he parades him around the stage for all to see.
Announcer :" Next, from Australia is Troy! This is his first time he entered the Race for the Noose! Let's welcome Troy!"
Announcer :" Our final contestant is Derrick pressing his luck for the fourth time. No one has ever made it passed five times so Ryan and Derrick are near the statistics of being chosen to dance tonight."
They look up to the monitors and see themselves on stage with the noose moved to the edge of the stage. The bright lights make their bodies glisten. Fear seem to make Troy struggle each time he swallows. His adamsapple being very prominent makes his struggle obvious. And again his abs and sweat betray the cool calm look.
Announcer :" Ok, the betting windows for this race are now closing in ten minutes.
The three look at each other and fidget and take a deep breath. They wish each other good luck.
Announcer :" The betting windows now closed. The crown stirs and the three ready themselves.
"Troy will get $8000 in chips. Let's thank Troy for letting us enjoy watching beautiful body in tonight's Race for the Noose. Betting windows are now open for the last race tonight."
They un-tie his hands and Eric the Hangman gives him his sack of chips. He parades Troy again and shows Troy the noose he nearly was hanged with. He pats both Ryan and Derrick on the shoulders :" I'll be back there after." Guards walk him down to the salon where he can clean up and put his shirt back on. Cory and Jared goes to help him dry off and comfort him after his close call with the noose.
Troy :" Did I look like a scared sissy up there?"
Cory wipes sweat off Troy's abs and shoulders. "No, No. You all looked very dignified. Besides they really loved looking at your body reacting to the announcements. You gave them a good show."
Troy :" I'm worried about Derrick. He has been very nice to me tonight."
Cory :" Where is your sponsor? Why isn't he here?"
Troy :" He didn't come this year, he was disappointed I didn't put my name in last year. I told him I probably wouldn't this year either. But after the ride on the gallows and meeting you guys I'm glad I did."
Troy puts on his shirt and buttons it up. Cory puts his gold noose tie around his neck and makes it snug around his collar.
Cory :" Want to go back out there? I'm sure Derrick would like to see your face in the crowd. We can stand inside the railing where the winners will stand so he will see you right away."
Troy nods and they both walk out to see the last name chosen for tonight. As they come out Troy immediately sees Derrick on stage. Derrick looks down and grins when he sees him. Troy reads his lips " I'll be alright".
Music blaring as guys make their final bets. The red ties service guys wipe the excess sweat from Ryan and Derricks body. Eric had stepped off to get into his hood and gloves and remove his shirt and tie. Ryan and Derrick make small talk and agree with each other not to feel bad for each other after the next name is called. The big clock is nearing the time to close the betting windows. The announcer returns to the stage. He walks around the stage and ask them both if they are ready. They nod and straighten up.
Announcer as he reads the clock: "The betting windows are now closed. The next name will be for the one that will wear the noose in tonight's race."
He stands in between them as a red-tie young man hands him a note. Derrick looks at Troy and smiles. The crowd cheering and music blaring then silence. A mild drum roll "Derrick will wear tonight's noose!"
Ryan tilts his head back and takes a deep breath of relief. In the crowd you hear cheers and whistles along with disappointed growns from those that lost the bet. They untie Ryan's hands and he immediately goes to Derrick and kisses him on the cheek. Derrick stands with dignity and maybe a little defiant. They keep Ryan on the stage as they recall Eric. Now shirtless and in his kilt he returns to a cheering crowd. He shakes Ryan's hand and hands him his sack of chips. He parades Ryan around the stage and tells Ryan as he shows him the noose "maybe next year." Ryan smiles and shrugs his shoulders "Maybe."
They escort Ryan off the stage with the clock showing just 12 minutes to midnight. Derrick sees Troy with tears in its eyes. He gives Troy a half smile. Eric puts his hands on Derricks awesome shoulder "You have seen a few of these, just like the others you will pass out and wake up in the recovery room with your friends near by. Do you have any questions?"
Derrick :"No, I'm ready."
Eric goes to the noose and makes small adjustments as the winners take their position inside the railing closest to side where Derrick will hang.
Troy :"Should I stay? I didn't think I would ever be emotional like this. I don't know if I can watch without crying. I don't want Derrick to feel bad if he sees me like that."
Jared :" I know it made me feel better that Cory was out there when Ithe noose was around my neck. I felt like I wasn't alone."
Jared :" Cory stay with Troy I'm going to check on Ryan."
By then Ryan has his shirt back on. Jared takes the gold tie and puts it around his collar.
Ryan :"Thanks, I'm glad it's this gold noose and not the one out there. I hope Derrick will be alright."
Jared :" We will all come back to check on him after."
A red-tie guy "They are making the final adjustments."
Jared :" Let's go out there I'm sure he would like to see our support."
They go out with just four minutes left. Lights and camera are positioned and the crowd ready to watch the final event. Ryan hugs Cory and Troy.
Ryan to Troy :" He's going to be OK. Look at that strong neck. We'll see him up and walking in just a few minutes. Watch."
Troy nods and wipes a tear from his cheek.
With three minutes Eric brings Derrick close to the edge of the stage and noose. He stands straight and stoic. His big, lean cowboy body does not show any sign of fear or regret. Even as Eric takes the noose and places it over his head. The noose sits on his big shoulders making the crowd go wild. Derrick looks around until he finds Troy. He looks at him until Eric adjusts the noose above his adamsapple under his strong square jaw. But he looks back again at Troy and gives him a smile and wink. The slack in the rope is taken up. One last adjustment of the noose and Eric steps to the side of Derrick. 30 seconds left for the crowd to feast on the view. Veins in Derricks neck bulge and his face slightly red. His chest looks like he just benched 300 pounds. He swallows one last time making the rope bounce. The crowd counts down the last ten seconds, cheering, music blasting. 3...2...1.
Derrick feels the stage moves then his feet leave the stage and barley falls but a few inches as the rope stretches and tightens around his neck adding to the length of the rope. Not heard over the crowd is the grunt he makes as the noose squeezes his neck. He kicks but seems to be in control of his body. The stage moves completely out of the way as his body slowly spins. Hands clinched behind his back and abs trying to get him a breath. The coils of the noose moves as it tightens now nearly on the side of his neck pushing his head to the side. After 20 seconds his feet still search for support, drool rolls down his chin. At 45 seconds it is obvious that he has past out but his body still reacting to the trauma. His tongue peeks out of the corner of his mouth. Troy puts his head on Corys shoulder.
Cory :" Hold on, I will tell you when it's over."
At 55 seconds his body slowly goes limp except for a few twitches in his feet. The rope buried in the side of his neck as the noose slowly squeezes tighter sliding more to the side making certain now that the blood supply to his brain has stopped. His limp body slowly spins as the last few second count down. Eric stand below ready to catch his body. Finally one minute is up. His body quickly lowered and noose loosened and cut off from the rest of the rope. They lay his sweaty limp body on to the gurney and the cameras follow them as he is taken to recovery.
Ryan holds his bag of chips with a look of guilt holding a bag of 30 pieces of silver.
Cory :"Troy, it's over. He's on his way to recovery. Let's give them a few minutes then we will go in."
His hanging is watched in a loop on the monitors sometimes in slow motion.
After a few minutes Adam comes out to brief his friends.
"He's on oxygen and breathing on his own. They didn't have to give him CPR and his body seems to be reacting well. Give them a few minutes to examine him and sit him up and we can all go in to see him. Don't be surprised, the noose will still be around his neck -It has to be carefully removed to avoid scaring. Best after about 20 minutes when swelling goes down and muscles relax. It's loose enough so it's not choking him. A green light illuminates over the door indicating the medical crew is finished and cleaning crew can go in. Adam heards the guys to the recovery room. Troy approaches him first and find him with his eyes closed. His body and hair still soaked in sweat. He asked a staffer if he can have a towel and help clean him up. They hand him a small towel and he gently wipes the dying drool on his cheek. Derrick opens his eyes and sees Troy over him and gives him a smile. Troy is still bothered by the noose snug around his neck even though Adam told him. "It looks like it's still too tight." A sad look on Troy's face as he touches the noose and feel his neck. The head of the clean up crew tells Troy to give them room to roll him on his side to un-tie his hands. Derricks abs tighten in pain of being moved. But his hands are quickly freed and he is rolled back. Red line on his wrists after being tied for nearly an hour. He reaches for his neck and his hand is quickly stopped. The coils are near the back and side of his neck making him turn his head slightly to the side. He swallows hard making the rope bounce and his face grimace in pain. Finally they watch as they sit him up and tilt his head back to remove the noose. They open the noose and slowly peel it off his skin leaving a bright red line. The skin dimpled from the rope with a long groove around his neck. They ask Troy if he wants to apply the lotion to prevent a deep scare. Derrick smiles and tilts his head back. Troy takes pleasure as his fingers spread the lotion on his throat hearing Derrick softly moans. He gently spreads it around his neck then wipes his hands. They hand the noose over to Adam and Adam offers it to Troy "do you want to hold this for him?"
Tory takes the noose and holds it as if it was fragile,
Ryan says "That was almost mine and yours."
Troy :" I would have hanged for him if they let me."
Derrick slowly rocks his head 'No'.
They let the crew clean his body and wipe his cum from his speedos. Not able to talk yet he welcomes Troy in for a hug. Troy kisses his cheek. The other guys come in and pat and rock his big shoulders. He motions Troy to hand him his noose. He takes the noose and looks at Ryan. His smile says "this was almost yours."
Adam tells Derrick "There is a room for you here tonight, after they take you out for the crowd we will take you up there. There is no reason to change back into your cloths.
He looks at Troy and nods.
Troy :"I will stay with you if that's what you want."
Tell me if there should be a part 4
