The Mentor: Chapter 1

Scott knew he was asking for trouble the second he told his nephew he could stay at the Inn all summer. At first he had refused, but Eli begged and begged. The younger guy threw every excuse in the book at him: he needed a vacation after working so hard on his degree, he couldn’t go back to living with his parents, he could help out around the Inn, and most of all… he needed to be around someone who understood his certain predilections.

This final point was precisely where Scott’s apprehension resided. You see, Scott was pushing forty and had come to terms with his attraction to hefty guys getting heftier. He had had his fair share of sexual experiences in this realm, including a gainer boyfriend when he was in college and a guest or two that passed through the Inn. He was confident and knew what he wanted. But when his adopted half-brother’s college-aged son slid into his Grommr DM’s everything changed.

He was afraid of exposure, afraid of being labeled a freak by friends and family. He didn’t want his brother to think that he was in any way indoctrinating Eli into an unhealthy lifestyle even though Scott himself was in prime physical shape. Most of all he didn’t want this private facet of his sexuality getting publicized and potentially damaging his reputation as the new owner of the Little Brick Inn.

Scott had been a line cook and then the lead chef at the Inn for over a decade. He was close with the owner, an elderly woman named Marcie, and when she recently passed he found himself in line to be the sole proprietor. It was a massive responsibility, but he took it on.

Scott had barely announced his new position when Eli came knocking on his door. Suddenly, everything seemed so fragile. Of course, it didn’t help that Scott could not deny Eli’s dashing good looks. Eli looked nothing like himself, sporting olive skin and dark luscious locks, high cheekbones, curvy lips, and a gymnast’s build. Eli did gymnastics during his studies but mostly out of pure enjoyment. After graduating he planned to retire, and Scott could surmise why.

Eli was assertively interested in becoming a gainer. He declared so loudly online and loudly in Scott’s DMs. He wanted to get fat, plain and simple. Eli had skated through four years of undergrad without the freshman fifteen anywhere in sight and now his plan was to completely throw his gym bod away and become a certified ex-jock.

Unfortunately for Scott, he had a lot of experience in that regard and it was published all over his Grommr profile. Scott was also very attractive and well kept for his age, with a toned body and firm ass that men and women alike turned heads over. Naturally, Eli had one thing in mind and that both enticed and worried Scott.

Nevertheless, he gave in and offered Eli carte blanche when it came to sleeping, eating, and living at the Inn for three months over the summer, after which Eli was heading off to a graduate program overseas.

Eli arrived at the Inn with a massive grin plastered across his face. Scott couldn’t help but feel charmed and had to suppress his own smile. As Eli hoisted his suitcase across the cobblestone entryway, Scott found himself admiring the 21 year old’s body. Eli looked strong and limber, yet he already was sporting something of a beginner’s belly. It was slight, but still in clear view beneath his shirt.

“You like that?” Eli said giddily and gripped the tiny bit of pudge at his waist. “Ten pounds since I graduated! A good start don’t you think?”

Scott shushed Eli, “There are guests here, Eli. We don’t talk about that stuff in the open. Come on, I’ll show you your room.”

Eli’s room was on the first floor in the back, next to Scott’s own room and not a far trek to the kitchen which was in a separate building out back. Scott regretted that there was already a sexual tension between the men. He knew where this was likely to lead but he banished that thought from his head.

Despite Scott’s earlier comment, there was only one guest checked in presently and they were leaving in a few hours. Business had been slow since he took over and it worried him as to why. Without control, his thoughts returned to Eli and that adorable bit of fat at his navel. He was so proud of it. Oh, the damage Scott could do to that waistline. As Eli got settled in Scott retreated to the kitchen to facilitate a decadent dinner for the evening.

Eli arrived at the dining room wearing what was clearly the tightest T-shirt he owned. Scott fought back a grin upon seeing it. Eli seated himself with swagger and rubbed his still relatively flat stomach in a theatrical bid for attention. Scott outlined the menu, a fancy but fattening affair, to which Eli nodded along like a dog waiting for a treat.

The boy dug in vigorously to the first course.

“Pace yourself,” Scott advised, “there’s four more courses down the road. You don’t want to tap out before dessert do you?”

“No, sir,” Eli winked.

Scott was almost too bemused by Eli’s gawky attempts at flirtation to even be turned on, which he supposed was a good thing.

“Say, how come you aren’t keeping pace with me here,” Eli queried.

“You’re not gonna grow if I’m hogging all the food,” Scott replied in a deep and sultry tone.

Eli’s eyes widened and he was stunned into silence at this proclamation. He snapped back to reality as a new plate was served and then dug in ferociously. That statement alone lit Eli on fire and spurred him into a feeding frenzy. He was gobbling everything up with gusto as he felt his cock slowly filling with desire inside his pants. Little did he know that Scott was also sporting an erection.

The rest of the meal was consumed in silence as Eli made a pig of himself and Scott watched with a focused glare. Once Eli was finished he looked completely exhausted. Scott stood up and sauntered over to Eli. He helped the overstuffed burgeoning gainer to his feet and escorted him to his bedroom. Next to Eli’s bed a warm glass of whole milk was waiting. Scott raised the glass to Eli’s lips until it was empty.

“This will help you sleep,” Scott whispered and tucked Eli into bed.

Scott returned to his own room and furiously jerked off.
