When he was eligible, he signed a monster contract with the Giants, who were happy to have MLB's first openly gay player as its starting shortstop and leadoff hitter. Raylan was a sensation in San Francisco, and he earned every dime the Giants threw at him.
We saw him all the time. We went to his wedding (although we were not fans of his husband, a banker from New York who rubbed almost everyone but Raylan the wrong way). We went to his son's baptism. And to his daughter's.
Raylan retired from baseball at 35, ultimately the victim of a ruptured disk in his neck that limited him physically and placed him at risk if he continued to try to play. He moved immediately into broadcasting, and he is now the beautiful face of Sunday Night Baseball. Much as he was for the Mets, he's a sensation, gliding into the booth as if he had been born there.

Trick is now 37. I am now 62. His career (mostly as a fourth outfielder) is winding down. It's been remarkably average. But, it's been fun. He has made more money than we'll ever need.
It has not always worked between us. I had a hard time keeping my mind open, and Trick was not one to be fenced in. He was discreet, but his discretion was for baseball's sake, not mine.
We took breaks from each other, usually at my request. We returned to each other, also usually at my request.
Trick's parents reached out to him after awhile. When he told them they had to have a relationship with me if they were to have one with him, they balked. It was obviously their loss, as Trick was a wonder as a human being. Except for the one area that kept recurring, he was the most selfless, other-centered person I had ever met. It had kept him in the major leagues, as he was always referred to as a "perfect teammate." He was a locker room All-Star.
We don't know where we will write our next chapter. Trick wants a family and to go to New York to be near Raylan and to try his luck at singing. I think I am too old for a family and too tame for New York. I want to go someplace warm and go gently into that good night, whenever that may be.
Trick will probably win. He almost always does with me.

readerfeederover 1 year agoRereading this story and found it as captivating as I remembered. Usually I feel quite squeamish about a sexual relationship between an older man and someone he helped raise since birth...it's a thorny scenario, one I'm usually disapproving of, but you did a good job of allaying my reservations.
I find it really funny how personally attacked some commentators are about Trick's non-monogamy... people really cannot fathom that some relationships are built differently, huh.
Trick was upfront from the beginning about not wanting to be sexually exclusive, and he communicated that clearly with Chris - no lies, no deceptions.
Anonymousalmost 3 years agoWhat an amazingly well written heartfelt story.
With a little
More non sex filler this could easily be a book. Bravo!
Anonymousabout 3 years agoWorst ending. Trick is an asshole a liar and a cheater, just like his father, that “millenial” approach to sex and monogamy is just bullshit, monogamy it’s not a generational made up thing, it is a personal trait, you either have it in you or not, I’m young and I believe in monogamy which comes from my heart, my feelings, not by choice or because It was implanted in me by my parents or society, when I’m in love I don’t even for a second want to be nor touch anybody else, that’s how I feel, also I’m not a prude, and have had many sexual partners and experiences, anyways this story made me feel so sorry for Chris, he didn’t deserve all that bullshit, but then again he’s the one who let it happen. Loved the writing though, and the sex was phenomenally described.
Kmax1958about 3 years agoWow, some readers got their panties in a wad over this story! It’s more fun (for me) to just get wrapped up in the characters and let the story wash over me. It’s well written, the sex is great, and the storyline is interesting as well as entertaining. Always want more from DavidPatrick.
Anonymousover 3 years agoAfter all the shit Chris went through with Rob, he just traded it for a different set of constraints. The idea that this story explored a new millennial attitude that sex can just be sex and monogamy is outdated - or that society can’t dictate rules on relationships - was absolute bullshit. Why? Because both partners did not agree with this. Sure maybe Trick saw it this way but Chris most certainly did not and was vocal about it. So if both partners don’t see it the same way, it can’t be ok between the two people. Trick was selfish, dishonest, and intent on cheating on Chris despite his professed love for him. Regardless of Trick’s POV on the matter, Chris was hurt, disrespected and compromised by Trick’s infidelity. And there is no excuse for one partner making his other partner feel that way. Chris was too beaten down or weak to insist on being treated the way he wanted and deserved so he settled for another “less than” relationship (like father, like son in that regard). Trick was not even honest to himself - he said he didn’t kiss Ray but he did a lot. He said he wouldn’t get fucked by him again but he did (and by the way he was easily taking him he obviously took him a lot)! He said he’d only swallow Chris’ cum but that wasn’t the case. He said he wasn’t in love with Ray but everything about them indicated they both were. And above all else, he readily whored Chris out to his roomie until it was commonplace for the three of them to fuck in all combinations! Trick most definitely gave his heart to Ray as well. Without even bringing Rob into the story or considering how fucked up it was to fall in love and basically be a sex slave to both a dad and son, this story was a shit show. Trick was not wise beyond his years, he was a selfish bastard who chased an older man from a different generation who didn’t share his same outlooks yet used his good looks, hot body and sex appeal to win this mismatched persuadable weakling over and force them both to endure a subpar love affair in which their drastically differing morals continued to hurt each other again and again. If Trick wanted to live that way, he should have partnered with another millenial who shared his beliefs and wasn’t minimized by Trick’s unyielding behavior. “If you asked me to be monogamous, I would agree - even try - but I would just cheat behind your back.” WTF how I’d that ever ok? That’s not an age thing, that’s just being a self-centered prick! Not at all my idea of a good story. Just sad.
