"Centurion Muscle II: Alpha" is pure joy -- from top to bottom, side to side, beginning to end. Director J.D. Slater has crafted a masterwork of muscle and sensuality, populated with the kind of men who would have made the Roman centurions green with envy (and horny as hell). Blake Nolan, Danny Mann and François Sagat gloriously grace the box cover, deservedly, but Leo Rocca, Xerxes and Lucas di Fubbiano are also devastatingly handsome. As is his trademark, the director gives each scene ample time to build from sensual foreplay to man-hungry cocksucking and rimming to ferocious fucking (the scenes playing out in what seems like real time). The setting for all of the scenes is a well-lit sexual playground with slings, benches, platforms, sturdy chairs and the like.
The opener features Xerxes and Danny Mann. Xerxes is a mountain of muscle and ass (an ass that is a prime example of what a prime muscle-butt looks like). Danny is a rugged muscle bear with a full beard and the kind of macho swagger that would no doubt make Clint Eastwood proud. They kiss and grope in the first few moments before proceeding to some mutual cocksucking and rimming. Both have rock-hard erections, and both men work each other's cocks and buttholes intensely (to put it mildly). The sucking is almost always of the deep-throat variety, and the rimming is the cheeks-spread, face-in-deep kind (and both men possess pink, unblemished asscracks). Xerxes' hole is the first to get fucked, Danny's stiff rod pumping in and out in powerful thrusts, Xerxes' hairy muscular legs held back by the chains that suspend the leather-upholstered platform. Xerxes fucks Danny next, slamming into Danny as hard (if not harder) than what he got. Danny's long legs splayed apart as his big rubber firemen boots dangle in the air. The X-man intensifies his thrusts, eventually fucking the cum out of a loudly and enthusiastically groaning Danny. Xerxes dumps his spunk on Danny's crotch and then the sweaty hulks kiss again in the sweaty afterglow.
Big Blake Nolan hooks up with the noticeably smaller Leo Rocca next, and they are kissing and touching feverishly from the get-go (Blake wearing only a black jockstrap, Leo sporting black leather chaps and a gold jockstrap). Blake has some tasty-looking nipples, and Leo makes fast work of them -- nuzzling, wetting them down with his spit, and then Blake returns the favor by lavishing lots of lip time to Leo's brown nips. It's wonderful to watch them embracing, Blake's big arms all but enveloping Leo's taut frame. Leo may be of smaller stature, but he's got a big fuckin' uncut cock, a beauty that Blake deep-throats with abandon, before Leo gags on Blake pretty pink pecker (Leo's cocksucking method is terrific -- he opens his mouth wide and dives down on the cock, kinda like a hawk attacking a fish in the water). Blake is a swooper too, and when he goes in for some rimming he licks, gnaws and gorges on Leo's smooth hole as he preps him for the fucking of a lifetime (doggy, sit and missionary). Leo is a sexual dynamo and he takes a major pounding from his he-man. Blake is a gorgeous marvel of muscle and testosterone -- easily one of the sexiest men on the planet. And J.D. Slater makes great work of each and every one of his many masculine attributes (and there are many) as Blake gives a not-to-be-missed performance.
And the muscle just keeps on coming, folks. Lucas di Fubbiano is a smooth muscle god of the highest order (his muscles have muscles). He's ripped and perfectly symmetrical, and his muscle-butt rivals Xerxes' as he pleasures that butt with a big-ass dildo and an anal beads-like sextoy before popping a creamy load.
Xerxes returns for another tour-de-force performance, this time paired with fellow powerhouse Leo Rocca. They impress once again with their superb cocksucking and ass-sucking skills, and the flip-flop fuck that follows the preliminaries is astonishing, particularly when Xerxes initially lowers his incredible ass down onto Leo's waiting erection, the camerawork and direction here blew my mind (not to mention another body part). They go back and forth fucking in a variety of positions, each man upping the versatility ante until they get the other off in the end, almost simultaneously.
The finale brings back Blake Nolan, a.k.a. The Towering Inferno, and pairs him with sensational Frenchman François Sagat. This is an incredible match-up, like the rest here, with more intense foreplay and such. It is too wild to see François in awe of another man, as he appears to be totally smitten with the way Blake seduces him with a flurry of kisses, caresses, licks and sucks (he's only human, after all). The feeling and admiration, however, is mutual, as Blake stares in astonishment at the man that he is making love to with all his might (François is one fine motherfucker). They trade blows, Blake deeply rims François' hole, prepping him for the anal onslaught to come, Blake then fucks his charge every which way (François' perfect skin glistening under the hot lights), and then they stand face to face as they pump themselves to climax, their commingled spunk dripping down to the floor as the screen fades to black.
