Love lost becomes love found in a very unlikely place in this story-driven, beautifully crafted story from directors Dimarco and Leon. With a smart script, interesting direction, and sensitive performances from its leads, Logan McCree and Vinnie D'Angelo, "The Drifter" has much going for it, and I haven't even gotten around to the hot sex yet.
That part gets started almost immediately, with the high-energy tryst between hairy hottie R.J. Danvers and Luke Hass. R.J. has a field day swallowing Luke's thick, uncut meat, and then the two move on to heavy-duty ass action, with Luke tonguing R.J.'s hairy hole and then pounding it in a myriad of different positions, a bed-rattling fuck that is both raucous and incredibly well photographed from a variety of angles.
Unfortunately, R.J. is Logan's boyfriend and he gets caught in the act. Barely have two loads been dumped into very furry places before Logan walks in with the flowers he has purchased for R.J. That bouquet never makes it to a vase, although it does go flying across the room just before Logan storms out.
Logan, of course, takes for a camping trip to Vancouver, leaving his unfaithful boyfriend back in Germany to do whatever. But Logan is apparently not cut out for the wilderness, because soon he's lost and alone, wandering around in the wet, dark cold. But all is not lost: Logan stumbles upon a rustic cabin, with warm light glowing from within. And when he asks for shelter, he's greeted by Vinnie D'Angelo, wearing nothing but a towel, and who doesn't hesitate to invite Logan in. Logan drops his wet clothes and takes a shower, and Vinnie spies his heavily tattooed body through an open door. Although this seems like the beginning of a sex scene, it isn't -- because Vinnie, alas, is straight (or thinks he is). Logan offers to sleep on the floor, as there's only one bed. And then the two get to know one another better, but not in a sexual way. When the next day dawns, they have become fast friends, and Vinnie talks Logan into staying a little while longer.
On their way to chop wood for the fire, the two hunks encounter a trio of campers (Manuel DeBoxer, Scott Tanner and Damian Rios, who are camping on Vinnie's property. And as they get into outdoor sex, Vinnie already seems to be gay-friendly, even if his mouth tells a different tale.
As Vinnie and Logan move on, the trio gets into a hot kissing and sucking marathon, and there's little need for the warm campfire at this particular clearing. Manuel's furry asscrack then gets laved by the other men's tongues, and his pucker is gleaming with spit when they're through. Damian and Scott take advantage of the lube and fuck Manuel in turn, driving into the stud's ass hard. Then Scott pounds Damian, and the scene ends with a delectable open-mouthed cum-shot, from Damian's cock to Manuel's mouth, and the load gets tasted all around when the dudes end with a kiss.
While chopping wood, Vinnie and Logan share sex stories, and find out that they have both been betrayed by their partners. There's a brief bisexual scene (with Vinnie, Dak Ramsey and Brianna Beach) here. But the real key is that Vinnie isn't entirely straight, because got sucked off his by buddy while the three were having sex. And the memory still gives him a boner.
Logan gets a little hurt by some roughhousing with Vinnie, who offers to make it all better with a shoulder massage (which is actually more like a big feel-up, but Logan isn't complaining). The two men make plans to hang out by the river the next day.
That night, Logan, overcome with pent-up sexual energy, jerks off on the floor, while being surreptitiously watched by Vinnie. It's a hot solo, with Logan's big cock rising like a tree from his crotch. And just not to feel left out, Vinnie finds a quiet spot out in the woods the next morning and does the same thing.
The two studs keep their river date, where Logan tells Vinnie that in Germany, where he's from, men swim in the nude, which of course leads to the two doffing their clothes. Vinnie then marvels at Logan's tattooed dick while Logan tells him about his first sexual experience, at a sex club.
Logan, now fully Mohawked, watches as Bo Matthews gets a deep rimming from Scott Alexander. Scot then feeds his huge cock to Bo from the side of the sling he's in, and Logan moves in even closer. When Scott slides his cock into Bo missionary, then flips him over for a doggy-style fuck, Logan has his cock out and is stroking it. After Scott blasts off all over Bo's ass, Logan then moves in for some of that hot mouth and ass. Talk about your first-time experiences, this one is off the charts: Logan moves Bo over to a pile of old tires and fucks him from behind, slowly building to a mega-fuck, driving deep into Bo's ass, pulling all the way out, and then slamming his cock home again. Bo cums, loudly moaning, and then Logan pulls out and spews huge on Bo's body.
Although Vinnie isn't too thrilled about hearing the story at first, it has its effect on him, and when the pair gets back to the cabin, it's on. The fuck that the entire story has been building to is anything but a disappointment, and it easily qualifies as one of the best match-ups ever captured on screen. For one thing, it's deliberate, slow, sensual, and romantic, qualities that are all too rare in gay porn. It both looks and feels like a pair of men first exploring each other's bodies -- at first tentative, then with greater abandon.
At first, it's hand holding, then more exploratory touching, and then the jackpot, with Logan grabbing Vinnie's hard cock while his own makes a tent in his boxers. Logan goes down on Vinnie, and later Vinnie makes some tentative licks around the head of Logan's dick before sucking it in earnest. This 69 leads to hot kissing and then Logan impaling himself on Vinnie's cock. The fuck that ensues is so slow and tender that it's one for the record books, with both dudes holding back just enough while still locked together body to body.
Vinnie finds Logan's hot spots (his nipples) and Logan responds with low growling, and then the act moves from position to position so smoothly that it's almost balletic, thanks to the physical grace of the two men. Logan cums, moaning loudly, while Vinnie is fucking him face-to-face. Vinnie follows with his orgasm, just as loudly. In terms of a one-on-one sex scene, I haven't seen anything better this year (even more remarkable in that it's entirely wordless), and it's bound to be noted when awards season come around.
I don't know what happens with Vinnie and Logan, but I like to think they're still in that cabin, fucking just like that, for years to come.
