The 26th edition of the "Auditions" series is really a Michael Lucas vanity production, since he appears in every scene. But, since he shows equal verve and undying devotion to each of his partners, it turns out to be a joyous movie. Michael is a terrific performer and his co-stars benefit from working with the master. He's the star here because he's the outstanding talent.
If there's anyone who certainly needs no auditioning, it's Jason Crew, an oft-used model who starts his interview with Michael discussing his various awards and nominations. Jason raps easily with Michael, who asks the same questions as always. Mercifully, it's brief enough and they are soon kissing. Jason is often the dominant performer in his scenes, but he knows Michael is in charge here. He blows Michael loudly, gagging and slurping around the infamous cock, and Michael even sucks Jason's huge hardon a bit. Their 69 is where Michael starts to play with Jason's hole, and Jason is quickly rolled in half so Michael can rim happily. Jason has his legs high in the air when Michael is ready to fuck him. Michael is in great form, grinding deep into Jason as they continue to make out through much of the fuck. Jason knows how to register pleasure, which keeps Michael totally interested. Michael fucks Jason silly in every possible position, neither of them tiring in the least. Very late in the action, Michael stays inserted in Jason as he does a 360. It's showy, but it works magnificently. Jason, again bent in half, cums into his waiting mouth and then Michael cums on Jason's stomach.
Next on the bed with Michael is Sebastian Rivers, a gorgeous brunet who wakes a slumbering Michael with a methodical blowjob. Michael hardens instantly, so Sebastian ramps up the energy and blows passionately. Hairy-chested Sebastian is stripped so Michael can get to his ass, finding the hairy hole and munching it with his typically facile focus. Michael spends a lot of time working on Sebastian's fuzzy rump, proving once again how much he adores prepping asses for big-time fucking. Indeed, that's exactly what ensues, and even if Sebastian looks a bit uncomfortable at first, Michael doesn't hold back. He pushes Sebastian's legs apart and jabs at him with great hip action. Sebastian is a quiet scene mate, but the lack of noise is not a hindrance to their collective heat. Both have fine cum-shots and Sebastian smiles as they chat in sweaty afterglow.
Doucet is a big-eyed guy, seemingly nervous as Michael puts him through the Q-and-A part of their scene. It turns out his sexual tastes are extreme, so he's forgiven for not being garrulous. Once Michael unleashes his cock, Doucet is more of a dynamo. He deep-throats Michael, which is no easy task, but the oral is short-lived as Michael is ready to fuck without any of the anal opening tricks he's used so far. He just surges into Doucet with a fast-paced fuck, and though they very notably lack any chemistry, Michael is as sturdy as ever. The fucking is kept short and the scene ends abruptly with Doucet cumming.
Jack McCarthy is a bubbly thin brunet with a sexy cleft in his chin. The interview here is more of a physical get-to-know-you, as the camera comes in very close to meet Jack's bubble-butt. His hard cock is a beaut as well. Michael gets Jack to suck his own dick, always a fun bonus. All of Michael but his fingers remain off-screen as Jack's hole is probed by those and Jack's fingers. Finally, Michael enters the action, fully clothed, but for a hardon that slides easily into Jack, whose towering cock remains hard the whole time. Even clothed, Michael doesn't hold back. He slams at Jack, knowing after all the fingering that Jack is a born bottom. This quirky scene curtails the fucking so Jack can impress with a delicious deep-throat. He blows Michael as well as just about anyone I've seen and then pumps out a load of his own with his whole body twitching, and his tongue still coated with the blast Michael left there. This scene is definitely unconventional, but it shows a great talent in Jack.
The last man in Michael's bed is friendly talkative Jackson Wild. As a bottom, he loves it hard, but he also has some sexual games he likes to play. A former Jason Ridge boyfriend (at 19, no less), he proudly prattles about past relationships and the fun he has as a porn star. The only things he doesn't like in sex are blood, crying and bruises, and he's so open about his total love of sex that even his mother and grandmother know about it all. He seems like he'd be a blast as a pal. But, none of that is really important here. What matters is Jackson proving he really is the sexual beast he avows he is. When he starts sucking Michael, he is certainly a spitfire. He can deep-throat him with zeal, willing to gag and then go back for more. He's orally fearless, and Michael sweetens the sucking by drizzling spit into Jackson's mouth, which is incredibly hot. Jackson is a great partner to finish the movie, a match for Jason's dedication and obvious lust from the first scene, which goads Michael into working his best. Their kissing is scorching and when Michael rims Jackson, it's brief not because the scene is flagging, but because Michael can't wait to fuck! And he does so at a fever pitch, going as fast and as hard as he can with this ultra-willing bottom. They tumble all over the bed, and in both tough and simple positions, Michael keeps up a thrilling pace, which Jackson greets with an ever-open ass and cascading noise. When the two collapse at the end, I think the exhaustion is completely real.
