Ratings Guide

What happens when the man you want doesn't want you? If you're Steve Cruz, you're reduced to stalking him, making secret movies of him drinking his Starbucks, talking on his cell phone and running to catch the bus. Then you go home, watch your movies and masturbate furiously.

In Hotter Than Hell, part 1 (of 2), Damien Crosse is the object of Cruz's somewhat pathetic obsession. What's more, he knows it and doesn't like it; he slams Cruz against the lockers at the gym to make his point. While Cruz is not the kind of guy to wallow in self-pity — after all, there's a helluva lot of guys he could have — he nevertheless makes a beeline over to his favorite bar and orders "a double shot of Jack, and keep 'em coming."

While Cruz drowns his sorrows, three of his fellow bar-goers gravitate to the back room for something more intoxicating than bending their elbows. Tristan Phoenix wants a close-up view of the twin bluebirds of happiness hovering above Scott Tanner's cock and Luke Hass is content to play voyeur while working solo on his own boner.

The quality of Tristan's oral work draws Luke slowly closer, until he's close enough for Tristan to turn his head and have another cock to suck. Next thing you know, Tristan is on his back and Scott is fucking his ass while Luke fucks his face. Scott and Luke trade positions a couple of times and after everyone's orgasm, Tristan and Scott dress and leave.

Luke is still enjoying the afterglow when Cruz walks in, with a twinkle in his eye that gets Luke's dick hard again. Cruz sucks fiercely enough to damage his tonsils, then he jumps on Luke's cock and fucks hard enough to damage his rectum — the ultimate expression of "if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with."

By the way, the answer to my original question, which I didn't forget, is "You sell your ass to the devil." No one exactly says that Ricky Sinz is the devil but his laughter is pretty diabolical. He's got his eye on Cruz from an other-worldly room with a window that permits him to see what's going on anywhere he chooses to look. Aware of Steve's obsession, Sinz steps through the window and into the bar, where he makes Cruz an offer Steve can't refuse.

Then, whaddya know, Sinz turns up behind the desk of the adult bookstore where Damien is shopping for porn and gives him a free copy of Grunts. Damien takes it home and plays it while he gets a blow job from his boyfriend, RJ Danvers. Danvers' maw can make Crosse's cock disappear with ease. The sucking is so good that I didn't notice until after the cumshots that there wasn't any rimming.

Speaking of after the cumshots, Crosse has by this time become fixated on Steve Cruz on the DVD player. His eyes are glazed with lust as he licks his lips and pronounces Cruz to be "amazing," which pisses off Danvers.

Crosse wastes no time seeking out Cruz at the gym. Cruz flinches, thinking Crosse is going to hit him again, but Damien has nothing but sex in mind. "I've gotta find out how that ass feels for myself," turns out to be the key to Cruz. Both of them demonstrate yeoman cock sucking, and if you like spitting, there's plenty of that, too. They suck each other to orgasm, then dress and take it to a garage, where a parked pickup provides a platform to fuck on.

There more sucking, and rimming this time, before Cruz gets the ultimate wish fulfillment: Damien's cock up his ass. They make the event last, but when Crosse asks for an encore, Cruz gives Damien a taste of his own medicine: been there, done that.

I've been around long enough to know that no pretty much no one except Daniel Webster has ever gotten the best of a bargain with Old Scratch, but we'll have to wait for Hotter Than Hell, part 2 to learn how this contract ends.

Everyone is in tip-top shape here. Danvers gives another searing performance; Crosse looks amazing; and Cruz is so dynamic, he should market his sexual skills as a weight loss tool.

This is a 2-disc set. The first DVD has the five-scene main feature, previews and contact information; 146 minutes, widescreen. Disc #2, "The Best of Steve Cruz," contains five scenes from Lords of the Jungle, Mirage, Savage, Grunts and Ink Storm; 133 minutes, widescreen.
