Daddies and Dumbbells

A Short Story by Josiah B Vale

---

Orange painted Minjun’s face as he scrolled. Sprawling on the bed, phone raised above his face, thumb moving without thought. Flicking through Grindr, then scruff, then back again, each scroll was a reminder of his place in the invisible, yet clear, hierarchy. Blank blackness of space after message threads he started stung almost as much as the words that were actually written: fit only, no asians, masc for masc. Typed without hesitation by men who never wondered how it felt for someone who didn’t fit their criteria to read them.

Repetition dulled the blade, he told himself, he was numb to it. Sometimes though, when he least expected it, the edge found him.

I’ll never be wanted like this, he thought, looking down at his chubby belly.

The phone slapped on his chest as he let it go.

Staring at the ceiling, a hollow ache settled in.

The lock screen was opening again before he even realized it, and he opened google maps. Gym near me, he searched.

Options spilled across the screen, sterile names that blended together …

Until one grabbed his eyes immediately, impossible to ignore: Daddies & Dumbbells.

Heat pulled to his cheeks as he read the name, mind leaping instantly to the private folder on his laptop full of videos he watched, maybe too often, labeled daddy.

A preference he never said out loud.

Though it was probably just some tacky old gym with a sense of humor, he kept staring at the listing, the glowing blue dot daring him to come.

#

Sitting in his car outside the building longer than he meant to, he stared at the unapologetic sign. Daddies & Dumbbells in bold letters, a jockstrap and a mustache decorated the sides like mascots.

Clear branding, thats for sure, Minjun thought.

Daddies written out so boldly seemed to pulse against his skin, as if the sign knew his search history. He almost turned back and went home, a dozen excuses coming to mind: too crowded, too expensive, too unknown—

—but he forced himself out of the car.

Glass doors seemed to part for him as he approached. Iron and musk spilled into the air sharp and heavy, nothing like the usual sterile citrus of chain gyms he’d joined for exactly one day before.

It was just a trial membership, he told himself as his heart knocked against his ribs.

“First time?” A desk attendant looked up from her computer screen with a smile that carried no judgement.

Minjun nodded quickly, hands shoved deep in the pockets of his gym shorts.

“Free trial?”

A voice wouldn’t come, he just nodded again; the attendant didn't seem to mind.

“Have you read the terms and conditions online?” She asked.

Minjun’s brows furrowed, as he shook his head.

“You’ll really want to read the terms and conditions.”

A form and pen slid across the counter. The page asked for the usual a— name, contact, emergency number — but when he flipped the page …

Wait, was this a sex thing? He wanted to ask the front desk associate for more information. Could this really be the kind of place where his fantasies became real life? When he wrote Park Minjun in the blank, the letters looked firm. A small act of defiance against the part of him that still wanted to run, or hide.

Flushed and sweating before he even exerted himself, he wasn’t sure what he had just signed up for. But his feelings weren’t just fear. There was something deeper. An aching desire yearning to be met.

Another set of doors opened to the real workout area. Heat met him first, thick with the smell of iron, sweat and the faint tang of old spice clinging to the walls. There were no mirrors like you would usually find in a place like this, no smiling models on signs with motivational slogans, just black racks of weights, a few treadmills, machines well-kept but worn by years of calloused hands. Classic rock riffs thudded low from speakers that wasn’t anything like the pop songs he was familiar with.

And the men…

Drinking them in, he almost forgot to get out of the doorway.

Everywhere he looked, there were bodies that refused to match the magazine covers and app profile pictures that haunted him. Older men with bellies pressing soft against their tanks. Hairy chests, tattooed arms, brows furrowed with age, a few more wrinkled than his grandfather, yet all moving with confidence. Owning the space with a sexual bravado that made Minjun’s knees weak.

He hadn’t seen so many “daddies” outside of his pornhub recommended tab.

A ripple of attention shifted through the room. He turned his head before he could stop himself. Entering the gym was a man who looked ripped right out of his late-night searches. Long grey hair was tied back with a black bandana, forehead glistening with sweat that trailed down his temples. A white tank clung to his chest hair, damp enough to leave nothing to the imagination. His arms were thick, cut with the weight of years, veins rising like rivers beneath the skin.

And then the pants. Black leather, worn at the seams, hugging his thighs, stitched for sin. Who the hell wore leather pants in a gym? Yet he carried them without irony, like they were as natural as sneakers and shorts.

He didn’t just walk. He prowled. Conversations faltered as he passed. A few men clapped him on the back in greeting, laughing low, but Minjun could only stare.

The man’s eyes caught his. For the briefest moment, there was no mistaking it — a deliberate look, a slow curl of a grin, and then a wink.

Minjun’s heart stuttered. Heat surged up his neck so fast he nearly choked on it, before he snapped his gaze away, suddenly fascinated with the row of treadmills at the far end.

Head down, he scurried to one. Sneakers squeaking too loudly against the rubber as he climbed on, stabbing at buttons until the belt lurched beneath him.

The machine whirred to life. He focused on the rhythm of his steps, anything to pretend he wasn’t still burning from that wink.

Don’t get your hopes up. The thought pulsed in his skull with every stride.

Guys like that didn’t look at guys like him. Maybe the wink was nothing. Maybe it was pity, or worse, some cruel joke. Minjun had learned not to mistake kindness for interest.

Risking it all, he took a glance over his shoulder. The man — the Leather Daddy — was at the weight rack now, benching with easy strength, chest rising under the soaked tank like a scene out of a dream. Minjun’s throat went dry.

He snapped his gaze forward again. He’d never want me. He couldn’t.

The treadmill hummed, steady and relentless, as Minjun tried to outrun the heat still lingering in his chest.

Breath came in shallow bursts. They’re watching me and ... And none of them look disgusted. The thought spun dizzy in his head, a truth so at odds with years of rejection that it almost hurt to believe.

A few pairs of eyes flicked toward him. Not long stares, nothing invasive, but enough to register. One man gave him a slow nod, as if acknowledging something about him. Another’s gaze lingered just a second too long on the sway of his hips when he changed pace. The tattoos, the bellies, the beards, they looked at him as if he wasn’t a mistake for walking in here.

Could I be their type? The thought rose like a bubble in water, shocking in its lightness. For once, he didn’t swat it away immediately.

Treadmill humming beneath him, his mind kept circling.

He wasn’t ready to believe. Not yet.

By the time Minjun stepped off, his shirt clung to him with damp patches and his legs ached more from nerves than exertion. wiping his forehead with a gym towel, he debated whether to bolt for the exit or force himself through a token stretch.

Then he saw him again.

The Leather Daddy was standing at the far end of the floor, sweat glistening down his arms, tank plastered to his chest like a second skin. He walked toward a doorway marked Sauna with the easy confidence of someone who knew exactly where he belonged.

Minjun froze. His pulse thudded in his ears.

The rule from the form he signed earlier came to mind: Towels Stay On Until Invited. It had to be about the sauna.

He could walk out now, slip back into the night and forget about this place. Or he could follow.

His feet moved, slow and clumsy, carrying him across the gym.

He undressed, save a towel, and stored his bag in a locker.

Thick, wet heat poured over him as he crossed the sauna threshold, heavy with the scent of cedar and sweat. The room was dim, benches lined with towels, steam rising in lazy curls that blurred the edges of bodies within.

A half-dozen men lounged there, relaxed and sprawled, their voices a low rumble beneath the hiss of steam. And among them, sitting wide-legged with a towel draped low, was the Leather Daddy.

His eyes caught Minjun’s the moment he stepped inside. A grin tugged at the corner of his mouth. “C’mere, boy.”

The words landed in Minjun’s chest like a strike. For a heartbeat, he nearly bolted, the door at his back pulling at him like a lifeline. But his legs carried him forward instead.

When he sat, heat rushed into him faster than his breath could adjust. The men sprawled on the benches weren’t doing anything overt, not really. Yet his pulse thudded like he had already walked into something dangerous.

One man leaned back, towel loose across his lap, legs spread wide enough to flash dark curls and the heavy shape beneath. Another rubbed at his thigh, hand sliding higher with each pass, eyes half-closed but darting now and then toward Minjun. A pair across the room sat close enough that their knees brushed, one whispering something into the other’s ear that earned a low chuckle.

Minjun’s skin prickled, not just from the heat. Are these signals? Am I imagining this? His chest rose too quickly, lungs drowning in steam.

Leather Daddy hadn’t moved much, only leaned back on the bench with his towel sliding lower across his hips. His gaze never wandered. It locked on Minjun with the same deliberate ease as before, steady as if waiting for him to notice.

Slowly, he let his legs fall open wider, the fabric shifting until there was no mistaking the thick shape outlined beneath. The grin was still there, lazy and certain.

There was no misreading this, not anymore.

Then the man’s voice came low, carrying through the hiss of steam. “Come closer, boy.”

He obeyed. Each step across the tiles was a thunderclap in his ears, though no one else seemed to hear it. The men lounged in confidence, only half-watching, as if this was routine.

Standing before the Leather Daddy, his pulse hammered. The man shifted just enough to make space beside him, a broad palm patting the space like an invitation. Minjun lowered himself slowly, knees weak.

A hand, heavy and warm, settled on his thigh. Not casual, not accidental — claiming. The squeeze was firm enough to make Minjun’s breath stutter. His gaze dropped instinctively, catching the dark swell beneath the towel. His cheeks burned hotter than the steam.

“You nervous?” The man’s voice was rough velvet, half question, half statement.

Minjun nodded, throat tight.

The squeeze deepened, steady and reassuring. “Good,” the man murmured. He leaned close, the scruff of his beard grazing Minjun’s temple. “Means it matters.”

Minjun swallowed hard, eyes fluttering shut as the weight of the hand anchored him. For the first time in a long time, his body didn’t feel like an enemy.

“You’re beautiful like this. Let us enjoy you.” The hand on his thigh lingered, thumb brushing slow circles that sent sparks racing up Minjun’s spine.

The Leather Daddy’s voice dipped lower. “You want this, boy? You want me to touch you?”

Minjun’s lips parted. His voice wouldn’t rise, but he nodded. It was enough.

“Good.” The towel across Minjun’s waist was tugged loose with a sure motion, the humid air kissing his bare skin. Heat pooled at his cheeks as he realized how exposed he suddenly was. Yet the man’s gaze was steady, never mocking.

Thick fingers trailed up Minjun’s chest, brushing across his nipples until they hardened under the touch. Minjun gasped, the sound swallowed quickly by the hiss of steam. The hand pinched, rolled, teased, until his breath came uneven.

Another hand slipped lower, cupping the curve of his hip. A spark of shame melted instantly into arousal.

The man leaned in, voice commanding but patient. “Stand up. Bend over. Show us what you’ve got.”

Minjun froze, pulse thrashing. His first instinct was to hide, to fold into himself, but the weight of that gaze — steady, sure, approving — helped him move.

Slowly, trembling but unable to resist, he began to rise.

The towel slipped from his fingers and fell in a damp heap at his feet. For a moment, Minjun stood frozen, every nerve screaming against the weight of eyes pressing into his skin.

The Leather Daddy’s hand guided him forward, steady on his lower back. “Easy,” he said, voice rough but calm. “Breathe.”

Minjun bent, slow and hesitant, bracing himself against the bench.

The humid air rushed over the curve of his ass, bare and trembling. He squeezed his eyes shut, humiliation spiking through him, only to be drowned by the sudden sound of approval: a low hum, a chuckle, the scrape of a beard as someone exhaled thickly nearby.

Leather Daddy’s palm spread across one cheek, squeezing, spreading him open until nothing was hidden. “Look at this. Perfect, isn’t he?”

A murmur of agreement rippled through the haze.

Fingers toyed at his rim, circling, teasing, never quite pressing in. Someone else pinched his nipples from behind, each touch deliberate, coaxing him deeper into the moment.

“You’re ours now, boy,” Leather Daddy whispered against his ear, breath hot and final. “And you’re going to love every second.”

Settling onto the bench in front of him, Leather Daddy spread his thighs wide until his cock jutted thick and heavy before Minjun’s face. Veins ridged the shaft, dark and thick with the heat of the room. A hand gripped the back of Minjun’s neck, not forcing, just guiding, an unspoken command as steady as breath.

“It’s all yours.” The man whispered.

Minjun’s lips parted, and then another touch startled him — different, wetter, from behind, one of the other daddies knelt close, fingers slick with spit as they pressed teasingly at his rim. The first push sent a shiver racing through his spine. He gasped, and the sound seemed to ripple through the room like a signal.

A broad palm cupped his balls, rolling them with slow reverence. Another hand slid across his back, tracing the damp curve of muscle until it reached the bare dip of his waist. Fingers stroked his thighs, his chest, his arms, too many to track, too many to deny.

They want me. The thought flared, sharp and impossible to ignore. Each touch confirmed it, each squeeze and stroke rewriting what he believed about his own body.

The Leather Daddy’s cock loomed centimeters from his mouth, thick and waiting. The man’s voice came again, softer now, patient. “Show me what that mouth can do.”

Minjun leaned forward, his lips brushed the head. Heat and salt filled his mouth instantly, thick and undeniable. Wrapping his lips around the crown, he circled his tongue tentative at first, then faster when the Leather Daddy’s hand stroked the back of his head in approval.

“Good boy,” the man murmured, voice deep with satisfaction.

The praise slid through Minjun’s chest like fire, loosening something he had held tight for years.

Behind him, slick fingers pressed deeper, stretching him, opening him in slow deliberate strokes. Minjun moaned around the cock in his mouth, the vibration dragging a growl from Leather Daddy’s throat. The sound spurred him on. He pushed lower, lips sliding down the thick shaft until his jaw ached.

Hands didn’t stop coming. Every insecurity he had carried into this place dissolved beneath the weight of sensation.

Leather Daddy’s voice rumbled above him, steady and commanding. “Take more. Show them how hungry you are.”

Minjun swallowed deeper, throat straining, and the sauna echoed with a chorus of approving groans. The hand at the back of Minjun’s head grew firmer, guiding him lower until his nose pressed into wiry hair and his throat stretched around the thickness.

Panic flared bright in his chest, his body jerking against the intrusion, gagging helplessly. His hands pushed at the man’s thighs, instinct begging for release.

But the grip held him there. The heat, the musk, the sheer weight of cock filling his mouth left him lightheaded, stars sparking at the edges of his vision. Tears welled and spilled, streaking hot down his cheeks, dripping into the steam.

Leather Daddy’s voice rumbled above him, low and steady, never cruel. “Tap twice if you need air, boy.”

Minjun’s chest heaved. The command was clear, he remembered the very same rule on the form he signed. The out was there, but his fingers only curled tighter against the bench.

He didn’t tap. He didn’t want to.

A pleased growl vibrated through the man’s chest. “Good boy.”

The words pressed inside Minjun harder than the cock in his throat. Praise. Approval. Ownership. The very things he had convinced himself he’d never feel. He moaned weakly around the shaft, body surrendering to the rhythm forced upon him.

Behind him, new pressure pressed at his rim. Not fingers this time, but the thick head of cock, slick with spit. The blunt push teased, rocked, spread him wider. A heavy furred belly rested against his back as the man behind lined himself up. Minjun couldn’t see, vision blurred with tears and steam, but he felt everything. The scrape of beard against his neck. The weight of cock nudging insistently at his hole. The rough hands roaming his chest and thighs as if he belonged to all of them now.

Leather Daddy’s grip never wavered. He leaned forward, voice a graveled whisper against Minjun’s ear. “Look at you. Taking it. Loving it. You’re ours now, boy. And you’re perfect like this.”

The words melted through Minjun’s fear, leaving only heat and dizzying surrender. He couldn’t breathe, couldn’t see, but god damn … he had never felt so alive.

Minjun moaned helplessly around the cock stuffing his throat. Leather Daddy groaned above him, fingers digging deeper into his hair to hold him in place.

Behind, the thick cock sank deeper, filling him slow and steady, each inch guided with years of knowing exactly how much a boy could take. That belly pressed to his ass, pinning him, grounding him. A voice spilled against his ear, thick with pleasure.

“God, you feel so good. Such a good boy, letting me in like this.”

The praise unraveled him. Tears streamed freely down his flushed cheeks, his body shuddering from the double invasion.

Leather Daddy’s hand finally eased, lifting him just enough for his mouth to drag wetly up the shaft, lips gasping free at last. He coughed, sputtered, sucking in the thick steam, chest heaving for air.

Above him, the man’s voice was soft but unyielding. “That’s it, boy. Breathe. You took me so well.” His thumb stroked Minjun’s damp cheek, smearing tears across flushed skin. “Good boy.”

Behind him, the steady roll of hips didn’t stop. Each thrust nudged him open wider, deeper, until the thick cock bottomed out inside him and held there, pulsing.

Minjun’s whole body shuddered, torn between gasping for air and moaning at the fullness that left him stretched to the edge of breaking — and loving it.

Minjun hardly had time to steady his breath before another heat enveloped him. A mouth closed over his cock, wet and hungry, tongue swirling as lips dragged down his length. His hips jerked helplessly, pinned by the man still filling him from behind. The sudden rush of pleasure tore a ragged cry from his throat, muffled almost immediately as a hand clamped the back of his head and shoved him down onto Leather Daddy’s cock again.

He gagged, throat spasming, but the grip only tightened. At the same time, strong hands seized his wrists, yanking them behind his back and locking them there. Bound, used, taken, every nerve lit in white fire.

The sauna blurred into heat and shadows, a storm of bodies pressing in. Cock down his throat, cock inside him, mouth sucking him, hands everywhere. He couldn’t move, couldn’t resist, and for the first time in his life he didn’t want to.

This is it, he thought, dizzy, vision hazed with tears and steam. This is what I always dreamed of.

Leather Daddy’s voice rumbled above him, thick with approval. “Good boy. Taking it all. Just how you were meant to.”

I’m here. I’m wanted. I belong.

The man pounding into him groaned against his back, thrusts growing sloppy. “Fuck… I’m so close. Need a break. Gonna stretch this out.” His cock lingered a moment, pulsing deep, then slid free with a wet pop that left Minjun aching and empty. He grazed his ass with a light slap before stepping back.

Before he could even draw a steady breath, another body pressed to him from behind. Leather Daddy’s growl came approving, like a conductor changing the tempo. “Tap in. Fill him.”

A new cock nudged his rim, smaller. The angle was different, the pace gentler, hips rolling in smooth, almost musical rhythm. The stretch was easier this time, a glide rather than a push.

A voice, warm and low, brushed his ear. “You’re perfect, sweetheart. Taking me so well. Just let go.”

The tenderness in the words pulled a shiver down his spine. A new flavor of desire. What a buffet.

In front of him, Leather Daddy shifted over on the bench. A new man sat, knees wide, cock already heavy and waiting. Minjun blinked through steam and tears, eyes catching on details that seared themselves into memory: skin wrinkled from age but hard with black ink, tattoos crawling across his chest and arms, peppered beard damp with sweat.

His cock hung long, curved sharply downward, uncut and glistening as he stroked the thick foreskin back with one veined hand. A bush of coarse grey and black hair framed it, wild and masculine. He grinned down at Minjun, eyes crinkled with mischief. “Open wide, boy.”

The blunt tip pressed against Minjun’s lips, demanding entry, and he parted without thought. The length slid inside, thinner than Leather Daddy’s but impossibly long, filling his throat in a new, unfamiliar way. The curve forced his head lower, chin straining, drool spilling down his chin as the man fed him more.

Behind him, the tender rhythm continued, hips rocking like a song played just for him, sweet whispers painting his ear. In front, the tattooed guy’s cock pushed deeper, angling cruelly yet perfectly to make him gag. Different cocks, different motions, different voices; Minjun at the center of it all, owned and wanted in every direction.

Each man brought something different. One took him rough, slamming into him with a growl, treating his body like a hole to conquer. Another rocked in slower, deliberate thrusts, kissing his shoulder as if he were precious. A nervous one gripped his hips too tightly, stammering praise between gasps — “god, you feel so good, so good” — until Minjun shivered at the raw honesty. Then came a confident one, voice low and commanding, fucking him like he had been waiting years for a boy to bend this way, whispering filth that made Minjun’s toes curl.

They moved him with ease, passing him between them, one cock slipping from his throat only for another to press at his lips, one sliding out of his ass only for another to take its place. Minjun surrendered to the rhythm, his body stretched and soaked, his voice lost to muffled moans and gagged cries.

Every man praised him in their own way. Good boy. Sweetheart. Perfect hole. Look at you take it. Each word chipped at the years of rejection that had carved him hollow. Where once there had been silence and shame, now there was a chorus of affirmation layered over raw desire.

Minjun’s thoughts were fragmented by pleasure. I’m theirs. I’m enough. I’m more than enough. I’m wanted. His body trembled, aching and overflowing.

Loving being used, loving being a vessel for their need.

The moment Leather Daddy stepped back into play, everything changed.

Authority radiated from him, as if the entire sauna were his stage and Minjun the prize he had chosen to claim.

They held Minjun aloft, and spun him to face upwards in a makeshift sling. Arms under his shoulders, under his knees, balancing his back.

Once Leather Daddy pressed forward, cock thick and hard, Minjun knew he belonged to no one else.

The stretch was brutal, complete, filling him deeper than anyone before. Certainty filled him along with the thick shaft: that he had been waiting for this moment all his life.

Leather Daddy slid a broad hand behind Minjun’s neck — pulling him forward, with the help of the others, until their bodies met. His hips plowed into Minjun with a steady, devastating rhythm. He bent close, mouth grazing his neck, kissing there first — then let his teeth scrape down to the curve of his shoulder.

Voice low enough that it felt secret, “You’re mine now, boy. Every hole, every inch. Mine.” His lips dragged up to Minjun’s ear, tongue teasing the lobe before his teeth closed gently around it. “Say it. You’re mine.”

Minjun shuddered, unable to disobey, “I’m yours!”

Leather Daddy’s rhythm increased in pace. He plowed deeper, faster, but his control never wavered. Every thrust was practiced, exact, the difference between a man who fucked and a man who owned. His mouth remained pressed to Minjun’s ear, whispering praise, filth, promises that made Minjun’s cock leak helplessly.

Lifting his chin with one finger, Leather Daddy crushed their mouths together in a feral kiss. It wasn’t gentle. It was possession made flesh, a kiss that devoured, sealing every whispered vow with the press of tongue and teeth.

Others faded. The sauna, the steam, the hands holding him aloft, all of it eventually dissolved until there was only Leather Daddy filling him, holding him, claiming him, kissing him like he was never letting go.

The kiss broke into a growl as his thrusts grew heavier, slamming Minjun into the wall now. Each snap of hips drove him further into surrender until all he could do was sob into the kiss, body clenching around the cock buried inside him.

The rhythm broke. Leather Daddy’s body tensed, a growl ripped from his chest as he drove himself deep and held there. Thick liquid flooded Minjun, spilling into his hole in pulsing waves.

Minjun came hard, spurting across his belly with a broken cry, body shaking violently in the Leather Daddy’s grip.

He kissed him again, slower this time, sucking his bottom lip before pulling back to whisper one last claim. “You belong here.”

#

At the front desk, he didn’t hesitate. “Full membership,” he said, voice steadier than he expected. The attendant only smiled, typed a few things, and handed him a fresh key fob.

Phone buzzing in his pocket. He pulled it free, heart jolting at the name lighting the screen—

Leather Daddy: You were perfect tonight. My boy now. Be ready for next time.

Minjun stared at the words until they blurred, his grin growing sharper.

He was wanted.
