Learning Curve

Chapter One – Joe’s Point of View

As I gazed down at him as he slept in our bed, I thought how lucky I am and how magical those two words ‘our bed’ seemed as I considered my new relationship with this handsome guy I had admired for ages.

I first saw him as we passed walking in opposite directions across the cathedral close in the center of town. I was on my lunch break and making my way to a new bar I had discovered where I could get a light, inexpensive meal. I was certain that he caught my eye and I was tempted to look back but dared not be that obvious. As I sat over my midday meal my mind was filled with his image; that cropped blond hair and designer stubble that glinted in the noon day sun. He was about my height, no more than six feet, slim built that suggested he worked out on a regular basis. I knew that I had to see him again; it was if my life depended upon it. Hell, I had never felt that way about a complete stranger before in the whole of my twenty-three years on this planet.

Next day I kept my eye on the clock on the wall opposite my desk. I was anxious to leave the office at the exact same time as yesterday in the hope that our paths would cross again at the same point. The minutes seemed to drag but then it was time and I made my way to the door. I was about to step out when a voice called out ‘Hey Joe, can you spare a minute?’ It was he boss. Could I pretend I hadn’t heard him? In a split second I consider my options. Stay and see what he wanted me for and miss the object of my desire or ignore him and hope to meet Mr Gorgeous. The boss was not a man to be crossed, so I turned to face him and followed him to his office. He pointed to a chair and told me to take a seat. ‘This won’t take too long,’ he said. ‘I want you to meet Alan here who will be joining us next week.’

I was suddenly aware that there was someone else in the room and looking in his direction my jaw dropped as I realized he was the guy I was hoping to see as I walked to my lunch spot. I felt a complete idiot as I blushed and stammered, ‘H…h…hi!’ as I took the hand he offered to shake with mine. His touch sent an electric tingle up my arm and down my spine. ‘Pleased to meet you,’ he said with a smile that would launch a fleet of ships.

‘I was hoping that you could take Alan to lunch and tell him something about our organisation and how we work here. I have booked a table at the Grand. I had intended to take Alan myself but something urgent has come up. The meal will be on my tab; can you stand in for me?’

Is the Pope Catholic? I subconsciously asked myself. ‘Er… Yes, I would be happy to do so,’ I said trying to sound nonchalant and not too over enthusiastic. ‘If you have something planned, I can always ask Reggie,’ the boss said.

‘No!’ I exclaimed, ‘I have nothing planned. I will be delighted to take Alan to lunch.’

‘Good, that’s all set then. The table is reserved for fifteen minutes from now,’ the boss said as he glanced at his watch. ‘Now you must excuse me. I have to phone head office rather urgently.’ Alan stood, looking at me; I smiled and made for the door with him following closely behind me.

‘I have a feeling that I may have seen you somewhere before,’ Alan said as we walked out from the building. So he did notice me when our paths crossed. I decided to play it cool and relied that I did not think he had and that he may have mistaken me for someone else.

‘No… I remember. I saw you walking across the cathedral close… It was about this time yesterday.’

‘Well, I did go that way. Fancy you remembering me,’ I replied. He smiled his sweet smile at me and said, ‘You’re a pretty hot looking guy, it would be hard not to notice you and remember you.’

‘Ha ha,’ I laughed. ‘Flattery will get you wherever you want to go.’

‘Hmm… I wonder,’ Alan said as we reached the hotel entrance and made our way through the lobby to the dining room. We were greeted by the MD who checked us off on the reservations list and directed to our table. A waiter appeared and handed us menus and asked if we would like something to drink. We both settled for a glass of wine and set about making our choices from the menu. I found it difficult to concentrate in view of Alan’s last remark. What did it imply I wondered? The remainder of our conversation over lunch was about the office and its organisational structure. I could hardly complain as that was what the boss had sent us to the hotel restaurant for.

We returned to the work place about an hour after we had left and I took Alan up to the boss’s office. ‘Ah, so you are back,’ the boss remarked. ‘I hope you found the time you spent with Joe useful?’ he said to Alan.

‘Yes sir, he was able to give me a good insight into the workings of things here and I am sure I shall be happy working for this company.’

‘Thanks, Joe,’ the boss told me. ‘Alan, you are due to start on Monday. When you arrie at the office ask for Joe and he will see that you are properly settled in. OK Joe?’

‘Sure, only too pleased,’ I replied. The boss said that I could get back to work as there were just a few more points he wanted to cover with Alan before he left. I said goodbye to Alan and we shook hands again and once more I felt that tingle. The guy certainly turned me on and I could not wait until I saw him again.

Well I did see him again, it was destined that I should be the one to show him the ropes and we worked alongside one another. Alan was a quick learner and soon became very efficient at his job. The boss saw this and gave me due credit for Alan’s progress. We soon became the chosen pair when the boss wanted special assignments carried out and we enjoyed working together. However, our lives went their separate ways once the day’s work was finished. Alan and I would take a light lunch together most days but he was not one of those guys who had much to say about his private life. We discussed work, sport, music and movies but it never got beyond that. Consequently, he was a bit of a mystery. I knew he lived alone and that his family lived many miles away. It was noticeable that he did not talk about women as so many guys do, so I began to wonder whether he was gay but dare not ask him. I am gay of course but not camp so my closet is still firmly closed, I guess. I satisfied my yearnings for him by enjoying our close working relationship, not daring to jeopardize the situation in any way as I hoped that one day my desires could be fulfilled.

Eventually, things took an upturn. On morning, the boss called me into his office and explained that there was a problem with the computer system at our branch a hundred or so miles away on the coast. Jeffery, the guy who would normally be despatched to sort the matter out was on his summer vacation and I was the next man in line for the task. ‘Drive over, take as long as it takes and make sure that those people in the branch are fully conversant with the system. We can’t afford to lose business through their inability to do the job properly. While you’re at it take Alan along. The experience will be good for him and he can be back-up for you should you be away at the same time as Jeffery. My secretary will make the necessary hotel arrangements for you both.’

I didn’t need to be told twice and quickly returned to my desk to explain the situation to Alan. I kept my fingers crossed, hoping that he would not come up with some excuse as to why he could not accompany me. To my delight he jumped at the opportunity. I drove home to pick up all I would need for the trip, taking Alan with me. We then drove over to his place so that he could pack a bag as well. He admired my apartment while I was packing and I was interested to see his pad. Like him it was neat to the point of being like a show home. The furnishing was tasteful and uncluttered. The more I learned about this guy the more I felt drawn to him. The unsigned abstract paintings on his walls did not give any clues to his sexual preferences and when I remarked upon them he said that his brother was the artist. In no time we were on the Interstate highway heading for the coast.

The traffic was light as the main morning rush hour was over by the time we were travelling west and we were both feeling relaxed. We had some light classical music playing on the car radio and Alan was humming or singing along with a sweet tenor voice. He also became very chatty as he commented upon the country we passed through, other vehicles on the road and this was the first time that he had sat alongside me, for when we took lunch we would sit on opposite sides of the table. Alan was a guy who spoke with his hands, using gesticulations to emphasize what he was saying and sat as we were, side by side in the car, he was also surprisingly tactile. More than once, I felt his hand on my thigh as he drew my attention to something that had caught his eye.

This wholly welcome touch began to have an effect on me and I felt a stirring in my groin and as I allowed my imagination to run wild, I was aware of a tell-tale dampness in my underwear. ‘Oh my God!’ I thought to myself, ‘stop touching me Alan or my light coloured shorts will show the results to the world when I step from this car!’ Fortunately for me we saw the signs announcing a lunch stop a mile ahead, so we pulled off the road and went into the diner. We sat opposite one another as we ate our burgers and fries. Alan continued to chat and every now and then our eyes met and I felt a thrill as he smiled at me. This had to be more than just two work colleagues at lunch together, I thought.

After our meal we continued our journey and eventually pulled into the parking lot alongside the branch office we were to visit. We went inside and made ourselves known to the manager who suggested that it was a little late in the day to start work and that we might prefer to check in at our hotel and make a start first thing next day. We agreed and following his instructions we made our way to the hotel. The desk clerk took our names and checked his computer. ‘Oh, I see you are booked for a double room, one that has a queen sized bed.’

‘Just the one bed?’ I asked casting a nervous glance in Alan’s direction. The expression on his face told me nothing, so I could not judge his reaction to this news.

‘Yes, when the booking was taken it appeared that you were a couple and not two guys travelling together. I hope that is not a problem as the hotel is full and I cannot offer you any alternative accommodation.’ I looked at Alan and he nodded, so I took it that he had no objection to us sharing a room and a bed. I told the clerk that we would take the room and that if and when an alternative became available, perhaps he would let us know. We took the key card and made our way up to the room. The one double bed stood on the center of the longest wall between the door and the window and dominated the room. I felt myself blush at my thoughts of what could happen in and upon those thirty six or so square feet if Alan was of a like mind. Even now his sexuality remained a mystery to me.
He broke the silence. ‘I’m going to take a shower,’ he said.

‘Good idea,’ I replied.

‘OK if I go first?’ he said.

‘No you go ahead, I’ll unpack my stuff and put it away while you use the bathroom.’

Alan had dumped his holdall beside the bed and quickly kicked off his shoes and stripped down to his boxers. I busied myself with my unpacking trying to avoid looking as though I was checking him out. I have to admit I was and I liked what I saw. He made his way into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. I heard the lavatory flush before the door reopened a crack and his boxers hit the ded as he threw them out. They fell to the floor as he close the door again. I did something I had never done before… I picked up the abandoned boxers and bunched them over my nose as I took in a deep, deep breath. The smell made my head spin, a mix of whatever had been used in their laundering with a heady burst of musky man-smell. I had seen this done in porno films but this was a new experience to me and one that set my hormones racing. Fearful of being seen I threw the boxers back where they had landed.

I quickly finished my unpacking, stowing my supply of clean clothes in my half of the closet and I then opened up a paper-back that I had brought along and sat on the bed casually reading it – well appearing to be reading it while my thoughts raced over what I had just done. The shower stopped running and shortly after Alan emerged from the bathroom with a towel around his waist.

‘OK, it’s all yours,’ he said and I got up from the bed and just as he had done, I stripped down to my briefs and went into the bathroom all too aware that my package was displaying a significant bulge. I closed the door and hesitated after I had taken off by briefs, wondering whether I should throw them into the bedroom of keep them in the bath room. ‘What the hell,’ I thought and opened the door and pitched them over to my side of the bed.

*********************

Chapter Two – Alan’s Point of View

I am pretending to be asleep. I know he is looking down at me… again! I feel trapped. I wish he would get up and go to the bathroom. Then I could slink out to the kitchen and get myself a coffee to calm my jangled nerves. I feel him moving away… good he is getting up at last and going to the bathroom. I put up with this every morning. He’s gone! I’m creeping to the kitchen and making myself a quick coffee.

When we first met, the morning I went for the interview at the place where Joe worked I was pleased to meet him. We g on well together and then e were sent on that trip to the coast to sort out the computer problem at the sub-branch. I was not entirely happy to find that we would not only share a room but also a bed when we booked into the hotel. He was behaving oddly as we drove over. He kept pressing his thigh against me at every opportunity. At first I thought it was accidental but then it became obvious. He seemed delighted when we were told of the cock up over the hotel booking; I just had to go along with it.

As a bi-sexual man, I had had flings with partners of both sexes; my guess from the start was that Joe was a closet gay and that he was totally inexperienced. When we arrived in the room at the hotel, I opted for a shower. I was hot from the drive and I couldn’t resist giving Joe a chance to check me out. I flung my boxers onto the floor near the bed, feeling sure that they would be attracted to him – I know his type. Once I had showered, I was certain that he had picked them up as they were where I had thrown them but somehow seemed neatly folded rather than in the heap that I had left them. A a further tease, after he had gone to take his own shower, I rummaged through my bag to find a pair of sexy Andrew Christian briefs – the kind with no back to them. When he came out from the bathroom, I was sat up on the bed reading a paperback I had brought along with me. I had ignored his briefs and they lay where he had thrown them. As he bent to pick them up the towel he had round his waist fell to the floor, exposing his neat butt and semi-hard cock.

‘That looks good,’ I said and watched him blush and rapidly replace the towel. ‘You no need to be shy. Come here,’ I said as I patted the bed beside me. I shifted slightly so that he could catch a glimpse of my exposed ass. He sat alongside me and retained the towel.

‘Do we really need this?’ I said as I grabbed t and pulled it off him. He muttered ‘No,’ his voice hoarse as his throat dried in anticipation of my next move. I ran my hand up his thigh and let it rest where his leg met his crotch. His ball sac was touching the back of my hand.

‘I haven’t done this before,’ he murmured.

‘Done what?’ I asked.

‘You know… been with a guy.’

‘What never?’

‘No…‘ Joe replied, blushing as red as a traffic light. I brought my hand up to his chin and turned his face toward me so that I could kiss him. I felt his lips part after a second or so and I pushed my tongue between them. He began to respond and he turned his body toward me and put his hand on my chest. Aware that I would have to give a lead, I took hold of his semi-hard dick and pulled on it until it began to respond to my hand.

Joe placed his hand on the bulge in the front of my AC briefs. With a hand behind his head, I pushed him down so that he nose was buried in my package. ‘You like that smell don’t you?’ I said recalling how he must have checked out my boxers. He continued to nuzzle my package and I felt the damp as he began to lick my erection through the cotton fabric.

‘You can take it out, if you like,’ I said encouragingly. He needed no further prompting and he pulled down the top of the briefs to expose my erection in all its glory. My uncut seven inches stands up close to my belly when fully aroused and I could see the wonder in his eyes as he appraised it. He hesitated before doing more, showing his inexperience to the full.

‘Here let me,’ I said and moved so that I was poised to suck his dick. ‘Lesson one,’ I thought as I gave him head as much as a demonstration for him to follow as anything else. He responded by laying back and gasping with pleasure.

‘This new to you? I asked. He gurgled what sounded very much a yes and continued to service my cock with increasing expertise after initially giving me an unexpected and undesired scrape with his front teeth. He proved a willing and apt pupil much to my delight. I put a hand on his head and brought my cock further into his throat, he gagged a little but soon got the hang of that. This guy was learning fast, I thought. He continued to low me and I began to feel my climax building. ‘Should I,’ I asked myself, ‘or should I not warn him and give him the chance to avoid a mouthful of my juice?’ I played it like the devil I am and let the full wad hit his tonsils. I had not jerked off for a couple of days and the load he received was plentiful, while I got a very pleasant feeling as the relief hit my senses like a rocket.

The very least I could do was to return the favour, so I set about sucking him off in the most proficient way I knew how. Joe clearly enjoyed it and was left gasping as I held his cum in my mouth and shared it with him in a creamy kiss. This session wasn’t to end there. Joe showed considerable fascination in my exposed butt cheeks and I told him that my ass was a safe place to go. I knelt on the bed so that he could inspect my hole up close and he soon was experimenting with his tongue. He had learned much from watching porn and was soon putting that knowledge to good effect.

‘I’ve got some condoms, if you want to fuck me,’ I said. Joe stopped riming my ass and held out his hand for a rubber. His cock was hard and he had soon slipped the sheath on his erection. I suggested that he used some spit to ensure it was sufficiently lubricated to penetrate my tight butt. I gasped as he plunged into me none too gently.

‘Joe, take it easy and make it last. That way we shall both get more from this,’ I explained. But novice that he was he was riding me like a bucking bronco and he came all too soon. We lay side by side for a time and he then asked me to fuck him. So I did and showed him how to play it cool and make the good time that much better.

After we had finished our sex play we lay on the bed and Joe was saying how good it had been and that we should be a couple and live together. I did not know how to tell him that I had no desire to enter into a monogamous arrangement. I wanted to remain a free spirit and play the field. Joe was OK for a fuck buddy but as for long term, I guess he was not really my type. Who was? I was still looking. Ok, so Joe would be my colleague at work, we could fuck now and then but as for making any kind of permanent arrangement – no thank you, sir.

‘We’ll talk about it later,’ I said, taking the coward’s way out. ‘For now, I’m tired and must sleep, we have an early start in the morning if we are to sort out the computer in the office.


Chapter Three – Joe’s Point of View

As I continued to look down at Allan I was wishing that he would wake but he was still deeply sleeping. I continued to fantasise over the thought of this shared hotel bed being ‘our bed’. I was so hoping that he would take up my suggestion of the previous night and that we would live together as a couple. As I sat thinking along these lines I felt the increasing pressure on my bladder and reluctantly, I had no alternative but to make a dash for the bathroom. As I spilled my urine into the white porcelain of the lavatory bowl I wanted more than anything to hear Allan tap at the bathroom door and come in to join me.

Last night had been such a wonder to me. After countless hours of watching and guiltily jerking off to gay porn, at last I had lost my virginity to a real man. He was just as hot as ever I imagined and it was beyond my wildest dreams to have him of all people to introduce me and train me in the arts of gay sex. His hands are soft and smooth, not clammy while his lips give the most exquisite pleasure. I had no idea that my nipples could be that sensitive but when he licked them and gently nipped them with his teeth I was sent spinning like a top. God! What a sensation. His hand on my cock, so different from when I touched it and jerked off by myself and when his fingers played with my balls, I trembled all over with the most amazing sensation.

Having watched porn stars giving head, I always wondered what it would feel like. Now I know – he gave me head that brought me off all too soon. I guess that having gone over that initial hurdle; I will be able to hold back long enough to really enjoy a blow job. When I had his cock in my mouth I was totally overcome by it. He moved his hips, pushing the hard rod deep into my throat once I had got the hang of it and when he shot his load I felt that we had bonded for ever more. The taste was salty but sweet at the same time, I had tasted my own cum but this was like manna from heaven!

As I stood in the shower with these memories of our first night together, I was hard as ever I had been. I just longed for Allen to step into the bathroom to join me but it was not to be. Instead, I used the soap to slick my dick and with a finger in my ass I jerked off fantasizing about Allan’s tight butt hole as it appeared in those sexy briefs he wore. I had shot my load and my dick had retracted when at last Allen did come into the bathroom. I could see him through the shower screen although it was almost entirely covered in condensation.

‘Hope you don’t mind,’ he said. ‘But I need to piss and could not wait any longer.’ I wiped some of the steam from the glass panel and saw him standing over the bowl with his semi hard cock in his hand as he urinated. He shook off the last drops and turned to wash his hands in the sink. He was naked and I could again get a full on view of his delectable ass. I turned off the shower and stepped out, grabbing a towel to dry myself. Allan, without speaking entered the shower and closed the sliding door. I could see him outlined against the steam covered glass as he bent to turn on the water and was tempted to join him. As he had not suggested that I do so, I reluctantly left the bathroom and got dressed ready to go down to the hotel dining room for breakfast.

Chapter Four – Alan’s Point of View


I thought he would never finish in the shower. My bladder was painful as I needed to piss so much. I could not hold out any longer, so risking his sexual advances I went into the bathroom and stood over the bowl letting my piss stream free. The feeling was so intense it was almost like an orgasm. His eyes were on me but I ignored him. He stepped from the shower and after I washed my hands, though why I don’t know – I was going to shower before going for breakfast, it was just habit I suppose; something that was dinned into me as a kid ‘Wash your hands NOW Alan,’ my mom would shout. Joe went through to the bedroom as I got into the shower. He had hesitated as though I might ask him to join me but he just did not turn me on. I had decided that he was not my type.

The warm jet of the shower soon took my mind off my unsatisfactory experience with Joe and my mind turned to a guy I had shared a room with in college. Now he was sexy. Sexy as hell and as I thought about him my cock grew hard and I began to stroke it. The soap acted as a lube and I lost my mind to long nights of pleasure in our shared college dorm. Concerned about the time I was taking and the thought that Joe was all too aware of what I might be doing, I gave my cock a few more quick jerks and shot my load. As my erection subsided I pissed a few drops to wash out the cum before stepping out to dry myself. Joe was sat on the bed reading the newspaper that had been delivered to our room door. We exchanged smiles and I quickly dressed and we went down for breakfast.

Neither of us referred to the events of the previous night and soon we were checking out and making our way to the branch office to put the computer system to rights. I still had the problem of dealing with Joe’s suggestion that we move in together. Joe did not appeal to me but he is a decent sort of guy and I need to let him down gently.

Very interesting story, Auto. The different POV's tell quite a tale. Isn't it all too true that there is at many times more intensity on one side and not on the other. This will be difficult for Alan to explain his situation and extremely difficult for Joe to hear it. As usual, Auto, you have come up with a great read. I, sadly, will look for the next chapter and to the hurt that is about to occur. Of course, I may be very surprised what with your way of weaving these stories.....

Chapter Four Continued – Alan’s p.o.v.

When we arrived at the office I go the surprise of my life. On the previous day we had been introduced to the members of the team there but this morning there was an additional a very familiar face there.

‘Oh my God, Alan what in the name of all that’s holy are you doing here?’

‘Mitch?’ I cried, ‘is it really you?’

‘In the very flesh, I work here – I’m the deputy manager,’ Mitch replied. ‘Why are you here?’

‘This is Joe,’ I replied. ‘He and I have been sent here to sort out the clitch with the computer system.’

‘No need to have bothered,’ Mitch said. ‘I got back from my vacation this morning and it is sorted. Any way good to see you… and you Joe, we haven’t had the pleasure…’ Mitch extended his hand to Joe who took it saying ‘Hi! Pleased to meet you. How do you two know each other?’

Mitch laughed, ‘We were at Uni together – we shared a room and were what – best buddies?’

‘We lost touch,’ I said. I went home to my folks after I got my degree and we moved house within a month. I dropped my cell in the lake when sailing with my uncle. Consequently, Mitch did not know my address, I got a new cell phone with a different number, I didn’t know his address or phone number as it was stored on my lost cell. So we lost touch.’

‘So good to see you again,’ Mitch said putting an arm round me and pulling me into a clinch.

‘Hey,’ I replied. ‘The folks here will start talking about us. We’d better get to work.’

All this time Joe stood by without having much to say; I could tell that he was not happy with my encounter with Mitch. I guess it was obvious that we were more than just old buddies and roomies. Mitch was looking good – better than ever in fact and I felt a stirring as I looked him over and remembered what we had been together, hoping that we could pick up where we had left off. That would not please Joe with his ideas of us becoming a couple.

Joe decided that we should check out the computer system just to ensure that Mitch had solved the problems with it, if only to justify our trip. After that we went to lunch with Mitch and his manager. We exchanged phone numbers and addresses, promising to keep in touch before Joe and I set off on our drive back to base.

[Craiger]

Coincidence or fate.... meeting Mitch has taken a little of the uncomfortable situation away, but Alan still needs to clarify his intentions. Joe, obviously will not like the let down, but would he be resentful enough to cause harm to Alan and his job? Great chapter, Auto.

Chapter Five – Mitch’s POV

It was a tremendous surprise to see Allan arrive in the office today. He was looking better than ever – God! How I missed him. We had such good times when we were together, maybe we can get back together now that we have found one another again. Mitch’s thoughts went back to the days when they had shared a dorm room in university….

‘Hi Mitch, you look hot,’ Alan said as his friend came into he room. It was almost the end of the semester and the summer vacation would soon start. Mitch had been playing volley ball with some of the other undergraduates and the sweat was pouring off him.

‘I’m going to hit the showers,’ Mitch said as he stripped off his sweat soaked T-shirt and flung it in the corner with his other dirty clothes due for the laundry. He kicked of his sneakers and stepped out of his shorts, standing for a few moments in just a sweaty jock. Alan got a glimpse of his butt as he bent down to pick up his towel. ‘See yah!’ he said as he left to go to the shower room. Alan felt the familiar stirring in his pants as he had watched his friend remove his sports gear and give him the chance to admire his butt for the umpteenth time. Mitch had a firm round butt that fascinated Alan even more than the seven inch uncut cock that swung like a pendulum when Mitch walked across a room with his balls hanging low. Alan’s only regret was that his friend insisted on shaving off his pubes. Mitch insisted that it felt more comfortable that way but Alan told him that it made him resemble a plastic toy.

‘Hey man, plastic toys don’t even have a dick, so you can’t compare me with your Action Man collection!’ Even so, Alan wished Mitch would go easy on the razor. Mitch did not take long in the shower and took time to look at his shaved body in the mirror. Maybe Alan was right – he could look sexy with a neat spread of dark hair in the right places. He sprayed on some deodorant and with just a towel around his waist returned to the room he shared with Alan. He looked over Alan’s shoulder to see what it was that he was studying.

‘Last minute revision, I have got to get good grades in my exams,’ Alan said.

‘All work and no play…’ Mitch laughed as he pressed his erection against Alan’s back. It was enough to make Alan close his book and turn to take the cock in his mouth as the damp towel fell to the floor. Mitch put his hands on either side of Alan’s head and groaned with pleasure as he felt the warm wetness of his pal’s mouth on his cock.

‘Awe fuck, take it all the way…’ Mitch groaned, moving his hips to take full advantage of Alan’s action. The feel of the tongue as it swirled around the tip and underside of his cock was almost too much to bear. He glanced down and saw that Alan had got his cock out of his sweats and was jerking on it; all thoughts of revising course work were forgotten in the heat of this moment. Mitch pulled away from Alan’s mouth and dropped to his knees so that he could take Alan’s cock into his own mouth. The bell end was already leaking sweet clear pre-cum and Alan lifted his butt so that Mitch could pull his sweat pants off. Mitch now had a hand on each of Alan’s thighs and was working hard on the throbbing cock that filled his mouth.

‘Aaah… fuuuuuck! YES!’ Alan cried as he climaxed in his friends willing mouth. ‘Time you shoved your rod into my butt,’ he said as he stood and made his way over to the bed where he lay on his back with his legs hanging over the side. Mitch took a condom from the night table draw and after applying some lube to both his rubbered cock and Alan’s ass, he plunged deep inside his roommate. Moving slowly and then building to a steady regular in out movement he soon had Alan gasping again and tugging on his cock that had gone soft after his climax. Mitch smiled as he looked down, feeling his balls clapping against Alan’s butt cheeks and seeing Alan’s cock slowly growing hard again in readiness for another hot jet of cum.

‘Aaaah….Ahhh…. Yeeeeeeeesss! Ooooh my holy God! That is so good,’ Alan said as he felt Mitch hit his G-spot time and time again.

Mitch smiled to himself as he recalled this and the many other times when he and Alan had got down and dirty in their shared accommodation. It would be so good to get together again, his only worry was that Alan may have the hots for that good looking guy he had come to the office with… What was his name… Joe. The guy clearly showed that he was more than a little attracted to Alan… did Alan feel the same way? He wondered.

[Craiger]

Ah, the plot thickens. If only Alan knew of Mitch's desires he probably wouldn't have returned to the main office. Now we have to worry about Joe and possibly find him someone else to fill his dreams. I fear that isn't going to happen all that soon. Alan still has to be frank with Joe, but he has to be careful of his job as well. Interesting update, Auto.

Chapter Six

We have seen how conflicts have been building in the attitudes of our two heroes in this tale and at this point it may be a good time for an omniscient narrator to take up the story. The journey ‘home’ for Joe and Alan was subject to a tense atmosphere. Joe observed the immediate bond between Alan and Mitch albeit brief and restricted as the two former roommates had met once again within a work environment and in the presence of other people. Alan was unusually quiet in the car; there was none of the animated conversation that had brightened the outbound journey for Joe who had high hopes of a relationship with his handsome colleague. All attempts at conversation were greeted with grunts or a mere yes or no if there was any reaction at all. In the end, Joe admitted defeat and just concentrated on driving.

It was dark and quite late when they finally hit town. ‘Care to stop over at my place as it is so late?’ Joe asked hopefully.

‘No. I’m fine. I need to prepare certain things for the morning, so perhaps you can drop me off at my apartment, please,’ Alan replied. He grabbed his bag and uttered a half hearted ‘Thanks… see you in the morning.’ He shut the car door and headed for the entrance to his apartment building. Joe took one last wistful look at his ret4reating figure and put the car in gear and drove home.

Joe was in despair; what had caused Alan to become so changed? He didn’t need to think hard to find an answer to his own question. It was Mitch of course. There had been a spark between them. However, maybe come morning Alan will have got back to being as he was prior to his meeting with his old college companion. Joe parked his car and made his way into his home. Kicking aside the usual pile of junk mail that littered the doormat he flung his bag onto the floor and sat on the couch. He felt miserable.

Meanwhile back at chez Alan things were taking on a slightly different mood. Alan picked up the phone and dialled the number he had got from Mitch.

‘Hi Mitch,’ he said a smile flashing across his face as his old buddy picked up and greeted him. ‘Yeah, I just got back. It was so good to meet you again and I was sorry we did not have the chance to talk some more.’

‘How soon can we get together?’ Mitch asked. ‘I’ve been dreaming of this moment ever since we lost contact.’

‘I’m going to search the web for a job over there. I’ve got some experience here that should help me find more work without too much trouble. Even if there is nothing in this filed going just now, I’ll take whatever comes to be with you. We can’t be apart again. What do you say?’

‘Man, it will be all I could hope for to have you with me. I’ll seek out something here as well and let you know how I get on. You must be tired after your journey and it is late, so I’ll say good night for now and will speak to you again laters.’

‘Good night lover, I’ll be dreaming of you tonight,’ Alan said before he rang off.

***** ***** ***** ***** *****

Next morning Joe was a few minutes later than usual as he arrived at his desk. He noticed that Alan was not at his own desk and he turned to Vince, another colleague, and asked if Alan had been in.

‘Sure,’ Vince replied. ‘He was early this morning and already here when I clocked in. As soon as the boss arrived he got up and knocked on his door. He’s been with him ever since.’ Joe looked over to the glass screen that separated the boss’s office from the main office area. He could see two figures outlined through the gaps of the partially opened Venetian blind that could be closed for privacy when the boss required it. There could be little doubt that one was the boss and the other was Alan. They appeared to be having an animated conversation and after a few moments one of the two crossed the room and disappeared through the door that gave out onto the entrance lobby of the building, a private entry and exit the boss used rather than having to walk through the main work area.

Looking round, Joe saw that others in the office also had their eyes in the same direction as he. Everyone was curious to know what was going on and all had seen one of the parties leave by the private door. Maybe it was the boss but then Alan would make his reappearance in the office but no one came out. Joe sat watching the boss’s office with an anxious gaze and jumped when his phone suddenly rang. He picked up and it was the boss, ‘Come in Joe,’ he said.

The boss did not look at all happy in fact Joe had never seen him looking quite so angry. He told Joe to sit down, which he did. Joe sat and looked across the desk not daring to say a word, not even good morning, as he could not judge how the boss was going to react. There was an electrically charged atmosphere in the room and it was not a pleasant one. Finally, after what seemed like ages, the boss spoke.

‘What happened between you two during the past couple of days?’ he demanded, his eyes blazing with fury. Joe was lost for words. His mind flashed over the hours he had spent on the trip with Alan. Surely the boss didn’t expect a blow by blow account of their sexual antics at the hotel?

‘I… I… am… I am not sure what you mean?’ Joe replied. ‘Where is Alan, what has happened here this morning,’ he asked in a hushed and nervous voice.

‘You may well ask!’ The boss shouted. ‘I sent you guys to do a job and when you get back, Alan comes in here with some sort of cock and bull story saying he can’t work with you anymore and asking to be allowed to quit without working out his notice.’

‘Did he say why he couldn’t work with me? A stunned Joe asked blushing at the thought that Alan may have spoken out, telling something he would rather not have divulged.

‘Look,’ the boss said. ‘I know you’re gay, in fact we all have worked that one out for ourselves and do not think any the less of you because of it. However, Alan was new here – he may not have known. Did you compromise him in any way? I need to know as I don’t want this firm to be faced with a sexual harassment case.’

Joe laughed nervously, ‘I don’t think Alan will be suing any one soon. He is as gay as I am and more experienced I might add.’

‘So, if you didn’t make an unwanted move on him, what’s the problem?’

‘My guess the problem is the deputy manager at the coast branch.’

‘Mitch? How can he be to blame for all this?’ The boss demanded.

‘I understand they were are university together and were roommates. I have every reason to believe that their relationship was a close one. Somehow they lost touch and met up at the branch for the first time in a few years.’

‘So, he can’t work with you as he would prefer to work with him. Is that what you are saying?’

‘It is not just work. I was under the impression that we had the start of a relationship but now I can see that Alan has an attachment with Mitch that rules out any chance of my hopes being fulfilled, sir.’

‘Joe, there is no need for you to call me sir. You have worked here long enough now to know that I would welcome you calling me by my name and I don’t mean Mr. Armstrong. I am Walt to my friends and I look upon you as a friend as well as a colleague.’

‘Is that all err.. Walt?’ Joe asked. ‘Can I get back to work now?’

‘Sure. I tell you what. Come over to my place tonight for dinner. I am on my own as Linda, my wife has had to go and stay with her parents for awhile. She is helping out her mom as her dad had a heart attack over the weekend and needs care twenty four seven.’

‘That’s kind of you,’ Joe replied. ‘I’ll be pleased to come if it is no trouble to you.’

‘No problem and remember… it’s Walt from here on in.’

‘Ok, Walt.’ Joe said as he left the boss’ office and returned to his desk.

****** ***** ****** *****

Joe’s p.o.v.

After the session with Walt I sat for a time at my desk thinking over what had been said. So Alan was gone. He may have been honest with me instead of creeping off like a thief in the night. I did have hopes but it was pretty obvious that Mitch was going to be a problem. That still does not mean that I can forget the hot sex I had with Alan in that hotel room. If nothing else he taught me things I had never experienced before and for that I can remember him kindly. I just wonder what dinner with Walt tonight will be like. I’ve always thought he was sexy but being married was not ever likely to be more than the boss to me. With his wife away, does that mean he is coming on to me? Nah! That’s not possible, is it?

[Craiger]

Oh dear!! Joe may be setting himself up for another disappointment or could it be as he muses, Walt is coming on to him????? I don't know if it was wise to bring Mitch into the conversation and I hope Walt doesn't give Mitch any trouble in his working situation. This is another fun twist, Auto, thanks.

Chapter Seven – Alan’s P.O.V.

I can’t remember a worse meeting with anyone before but I had to see Mr. Armstrong, the boss, before Joe arrived at the office as I wished to avoid a face to face confrontation with him in view of the others at their desks. Thank God I got out before that became a possibility. I had spoken with Mitch and had booked a bus to go back to the coast to meet u with him. We had agreed that I would go a stay at his place until we could find an apartment we could share on a permanent basis.

I still have to make my peace with Joe and coward that I am that will have to be by phone or email as I fear that he will probably knock me down if we meet any time soon. Meanwhile, I have to pack and arrange for the bulk of my stuff to go into storage until I can move into a new apartment with Mitch. I am excited by the prospect. I got quite hard when showering this morning at the thought of renewing my sexual relationship with Mitch and like some guilty teenager jerked off with my soapy hand. Trouble was that images of Joe kept flashing through my mind as I was doing it. Hell! I am mixed up just now.

‘Joe?’

‘Yes…’

‘Joe, I’m sorry…’

‘I thought we had something…’

‘I guess I must have given you the wrong impression…’

‘I guess you did. I have never felt for anyone as I did… maybe still do for you. But it seems that I am wasting my time. Clearly you are smitten with Mitch. I can’t blame you really he is a great looking guy…’

‘Look Joe, I just rang to say that I am very sorry about the way I have treated you but I just did not know how or have the guts to even try to tell you face to face that ‘we’ as a couple was never going to be.’

‘OK… it’s just water under the bridge. We had a good time. You made me realize that I should be more outgoing. I need to find someone that I can mean something to. I wish you all the best with Mitch. Goodbye.’

Phew, he rang off. I feel awful but relieved that I have finally got that behind me even though I did it in entirely the wrong way. Little wonder he sounded so pissed off.

The guys with the truck are at the door. ‘Hey, yes… come in all this stuff is to go to the storage depot. Apart from the holdall that is, I shall be taking that with me. Thanks guys.

They cleared the place in under an hour, I need to drop my keys off with the concierge and I have just an hour before my bus pulls out. Mitch I’m on my way.

***** ***** ***** ***** *****

Mitch’s p.o.v.

The bus is late, I have been waiting over an hour and now it is dark and has started to rain. Ah, there it is at last. The bus pulled up to the dock and people started to stumble out looking tired and frustrated. Some have folk here to meet them and others must need to travel still further and have probably missed their connections.

‘Hey, Alan… Over here.’

‘Mitch! So good to see you; there was a road accident on the route and we had to make a detour. Some of the other passengers were raising heel, but it was not the driver’s fault. Sorry you had to wait so long.’ Alan said.

We hugged and made our way out to the parking lot to my car. By now the rain was really coming down and we got a thorough soaking even though it was only a short walk. Alan put his bag in the trunk, we got in the car and I headed for home. It was no great distance and we reached my place in a little under thirty minutes, it could have been sooner but for the fact that we stopped on the way to buy a bottle of wine – Alan’s idea as he considered we needed to celebrate!

Our celebration took on a quite different form. The wine was left on the kitchen table as Alan grabbed me and pressed his hungry lips to mine. Our tongues entwined and explored as our hands searched our bodies. Shirts were stripped off and belts undone with haste as fingers sought their way down into our pants and underwear. Hard cocks were tugged free and Alan dropped to his knees to take mine into his mouth. I had longed for this throughout the time we had been lost to each other. It was good to have him back again and sucking on my dick as only he knew how. I ran my fingers through his hair and grabbed a handful so as to guide his head up and down on my throbbing erection.

‘Stop… God stop! I don’t want to come yet,’ I cried. Alan stood up and our lips locked again. I lifted him so that he was sat on the counter and it was my turn to take his cock in my mouth. He shifted his hips so that I could pull his pants and briefs down to his knees. His uncut cock stood proudly pointing to the ceiling. I took hold of it with one hand and clasped his generously proportioned balls in the other and let my tongue play over the shining surface of his knob. He pushed down on my head so that I swallowed the whole of his shaft. His pre-cum tasted so good!

‘Aaah… yes… aaaaahh fuck!’ Alan gasped as I worked his dick inside my cheek and tugged down on his balls. I could feel his climax building and soon had the full flavor of his load as he shot jets into my hungry throat.

‘Why did you make me cum and yet held back on your own ejaculation?’ he asked.

‘Because I want to fuck your sweet ass and feel myself cum inside you,’ I replied. I lifted Alan down from the counter and bent him over the table. His ass cheeks spread with my hands gave me a clear view of his cute little pink sphincter. I spat on it and ran a finger over it causing him to sigh with delight. A further splat of saliva and I pressed my finger deep into his hole, turning it so that I could massage his prostate, giving him even more pleasure.

I could resist eating his ass, the sight of that man pussy sent me into realms of ecstasy I ran my tongue up and down his crack and pressed it firmly into the little creases that were formed by the tight muscles that Alan used to work with my movements. Feeling that I could hold back any longer, I stood and pressed my hard cock into the spit slicked aperture. The initial resistance dissipated as I slipped my entire length deep inside Alan’s hole. My balls slapped against his butt as I thrust home again and again with a steady rhythm.

‘Oh yes.. Oh FUCK… yes!’ Alan said over and over as I worked him on my shaft. Then it was my turn to cry our a long and frantic ‘AAAAAAHHHH!’ as I felt my cum surge down the length of my cock and spurt into the warm moist void within that fabulous butt. I pulled out and Alan quickly turned to face me and then drop to his knees to suck the last few drops of my cum from my still throbbing cock.

‘Now I know I am home at last!’ Alan said as he stood once more and clasped me into a tight hug before kissing me long and hard.

[Craiger]

Finally the reunion is complete. After such a period of time, Alan and Mitch are again as one. Joe, on the other hand, is still single. That is unless there is a change in the scene when he meets Walt for dinner. That will be interesting! I hope something does come of it as Joe needs some perking up. Fun, sexy chapter, Auto.

Chapter Eight

Joe had not been to Walt’s home before. Walt held an annual barbeque party for his staff but never at his home – he liked to keep his private life separate from work and so the party was always at the country club. Walt’s firm had been up and running for twelve years and was well established with a turnover that meant its founder was a very wealthy man. As Joe drove up to Walt’s house, he could see just how wealthy his boss was. He could not help but be envious as he drove through the automatic gates and parked his new but modest city compact car in what appeared to be a space reserved for visitors. Walt stepped out from the imposing double leafed front door and directed Joe round to the side of the house where he could park out of sight of the road and any passerby.

‘Hey Joe – good to see you and on time as well,’ Walt said as Joe stepped out from his car and led him to an open French window that gave entry to a tastefully furnished sitting room. ‘Welcome to my home. Can I get you a drink?’

‘Thanks a cold beer would be great,’ Joe replied as he admired the room. ‘You have a very nice place here,’ he said.

‘Yep – we like it,’ Walt said modestly. ‘Come outside, I’ll show you the pool.’ The two men walked out over the patio to the pool that made Joe gasp. He had not seen such a large pool in a private garden before and his level of envy for all that his boss called home rose to a higher level.

‘Tell you what, it is a fine evening, let’s have a quick dip before our meal,’ Walt said.

‘I don’t have a swim suit with me,’ Joe replied.

‘No problem, you don’t need one. We never bother as the pool is not overlooked and the jets from the airport fly so high over here that anyone looking down would need a telescope to see anything.’ Walt slipped his polo shirt over his head as he spoke and kicked off his loafers. His feet were sockless and he then shucked off his pants and boxers in a single sweep. Joe had never seen his boss in a swim suit before never mind naked and he could not help but admire Walt’s physique and all over tan that verified the fact that he spent time outdoors naked as he was born.

‘Don’t be shy Joe, there’s no one here but us and we will have the place to ourselves all evening and beyond if you wish to stay.’ Reluctantly Joe removed his clothes in the same kind of order that had been set by Walt, feeling very conscious of the tan lines that ended where his Speedos had covered those intimate parts of his body. He had felt a slight stirring in his groin when he clapped eyes on Walt’s fine looking cock and low hanging balls and was glad that his own cock did not look small and shrivelled as well as pleased that he was not sporting a full on erection. Walt turned to walk to the water and gave Joe a full view of his bubble butt. Walt was a man who looked after his body and although he was almost ten years older than Joe, he did not look a day older as he stood at the edge of the pool waiting for Joe to catch up with him. Together they dove into the cool blue water that sparkled as lights came on automatically as the sun sank below the horizon.

Walt surfaced from his dive n began to carve his way through the water with a sharp, clean over-arm stroke that would have been the envy of a winning competitive swimmer. Joe followed slowly with a sedate breast stroke. Halfway down the length of the pool he was passed by Walt who on his return lap was now using the butterfly stroke to heave him out of the foaming water like a flying fish. Such was his speed that water shrouded his body like a glistening bejewelled cat suit that did nothing to hide the beauty of his physique.

Joe continued with his own slow pace until reaching the far end of the massive pool. He had not swum distances since he had taken part in the swim team at college and he clung to the side to regain his normal breathing and heart rate. As he clung there he was joined by Walt who was showing little sign of his exertion. ‘Sorry,’ he said. ‘I’m not trying to show off, it’s just that I swim every day regardless of the weather and it keeps me one hundred percent fit.’

As he listened to Walt’s words, Joe was surprised to feel a hand on the bare skin of his butt. ‘Your body is in good shape,’ Walt said appreciatively as he continued to fondle Joe’s butt. Joe looked into the eyes of the older man and saw something there that he had never witnessed before. There could be no doubt of the lust that showed there and without thinking Joe put a hand behind Walt’s neck and pulled him close so that he could kiss him. He then immediately pulled away.

‘I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do that,’ he spluttered. Walt grabbed him and pulled him back close.

‘No problem, I guess I asked for it and no one told you to stop,’ Walt replied.

‘But what about your wife; you’re married – surely you don’t want that kind of thing?’ Joe asked, incredulously for it had never crossed his mind that Walt could be bi-sexual or even a closet gay.

‘I’ve had my moments and you know what they say about the cat being away? I told you she was staying with her folks to help out. That was not entirely true. Our marriage has been on a downhill slide for a long, long time and we are living apart for a time. She’s not with her mom; she’s with some guy she met at the gym. Mr. Muscles is younger than either of us and she is infatuated with her new toy. I’m glad if it makes her happy. Meanwhile I am free to explore my own needs and desires. You have been on my wish list for as long as I have known you. How does that sound?’

‘I am amazed and… yes… flattered,’ Joe replied. ‘I always saw you as one of those straight unobtainable but highly desirable guys myself and made sure that I never gave you the impression that you caused me to think about you as anything other than my employer.’

‘Then, if you’re happy that is about to change. Let’s get indoors and take a shower to get rid of the chemical smell of the pool. Then we can get to know one another as two sexy guys and not as a couple thrown together by mutual employment.’

[Craiger]

I knew it......Walt is a lecherous old man.....j/k I'm happy for Joe, particularly after his depressing experience with Alan. He has the opportunity to blossom now and it sounds as though Walt is the person to bring forth that flower. I'm curious as to how this whole story is unfolding and where it will lead. Thanks, Auto.

Chapter Nine – Joe’s P.O.V.

I had confessed my thoughts about Walt as he led me from the pool to the bathroom in his magnificent house. The shower stall was large enough for at least four people and it had jets that gushed out the warm water every which way. I had decided to take a very passive role in whatever Walt proposed and was happy to let him soap me all over as I could not be sure how far he might want to go. As his hands caressed my soap swathed body my cock responded by slowly growing hard and as upright as my taught abdominal muscles would allow. Walt muttered his appreciation and having sprayed the soap from it he sank to his knees and took my erection in his mouth.

I had not been sucked off in a shower before as I had until now never been in one that was large enough to allow two or more people access at the same time. I had shunned the communal showers in college as I knew that I would sport a hard-on if I was among other naked guys and being shy, dared not take the risk of being seen. My shyness did not apply in this situation, Walt’s mouth was working wonders on me and when I felt his hands clasp my butt I thrust forward almost making him choke on my tool.

‘God that feels good,’ I gasped as his tongue ran up and down my rock hard shaft.’

‘Tastes good too,’ he pause to reply before going back down on me.

‘I think I shall cum pretty soon,’ I warned but could not understand his response. Instead he reached round and ran a finger over my butt hole, an action that only increased the tension that was building to bursting point deep in my groin. There was no time to give him a further warning but I guess he must have felt the surge as it rose to a crescendo and my cum washed over his tonsils in great waves that made me rock on my toes with the pure joy that comes with a heady climax.

All this while the warm water had continued to pour down on us from the many jets around the shower cubicle and then Walt stood up and clasping me to his firm wet body and thrusting his own immense erection between my thighs he began to kiss me allowing some of my cum to pass over his teeth in globs onto my tongue from where he worked it around our conjoined mouths. It was the saltiest, sexiest kiss I had ever experienced and I knew that Walt was no innocent when it came to giving another man pleasure.

‘Come let’s get dry and go into the den,’ Walt said as he turned off the jets of water and took my hand to lead me from the cubicle. Once we were sat side by side on a large white leather couch in the room Walt referred to as ‘the den’ I asked him how it was that he was so skilled in giving another guy such immense pleasure. He laughed and said ‘Do you really want to know?’

‘Sure, I wouldn’t have asked if I wasn’t so curious,’ I replied.

‘Well,’ Walt started. ‘It was when I was eighteen. We had some new neighbours move in next door. They were a couple of guys who were about the same age as I am now. Dean was a lawyer while Jim was a surgeon. My mom did the usual neighborly thing and took them round a basket of cookies or a cake or something to welcome them into our little community. She got chatting and it was disclosed that my birthday party was being held the next evening and they would be welcome to come along. It was to be an open air affair in our yard, so I guess mom thought that they could not complain about the noise if they were among the guests. It didn’t occur to her that two guys living together might be gay and as such could be an influence on her son – me that is.’

‘So did they have influence on you?’ Joe asked, eager to hear more.

‘Not right away but I would watch them from my bedroom window, they would often sunbathe naked in their yard. They also had a hot tub and Jacuzzi behind the house and many an evening I could see them in it if I stood on a chair in my window. They were two hot looking guys and I would get hard and jerk of as I watched. One night Dean happened to look up and see me. I ducked behind the drapes as quickly as I could but too late, I had been well and truly spotted. The next day Jim came round to our house on some kind of a pretext, I can’t remember what and during his conversation with my mom he said that the next day they would be expecting a parcel delivery. He asked if we would mind taking it in as they would both be out to work. My mom said OK and that I would bring it round once they were back home.

When the package was delivered later that very morning, it was small – almost inconsequential. I kept a lookout late that afternoon watching for Dean or Jim to return. I saw Dean’s sports car drive up to his house and I gave him a couple of minutes to go inside before I went round with the package.
‘Hey, Walt so good of you to come round,’ Dean said as he held the door open wide for me. There was no sign of Jim and I was to later learn that he was away for a couple of days at a convention. Dean took the package and threw it on the counter in the kitchen.

‘Aren’t you going to open it?’ I asked.

‘Why? I know what’s in it,’ Dean said with a crafty smile. ‘I packed it myself before posting it. It is some folded up pages from a newspaper. I had to find a way to get you round here without raising any concerns on the part of your mom.’

‘Mom thinks you guys are real nice and gentlemanly, she would have no worries about my coming here,’ I explained.

‘Never the less,’ Dean said, ‘I’ve noticed you taking crafty looks at us from your bedroom window and I guess you are curious about what Jim and I do to while away the hours.’ I nodded, my throat going dry and rendering me almost speechless at the thought of what Dean could have in mind for this veiled invitation to his home.

‘Fancy a spell in the hot tub?’ he asked and in no time at all we had both stripped off and were soaking in the warm bubbling water.

‘I guess you jerk off at least once a day?’ Dean said. I am sure I blushed when I nodded in the affirmative. I had never discussed such things with another person before. ‘Have you ever had another guy jerk you off?’ Dean continued as he looked deep into my eyes.

‘N… no…’ I said, wondering where this was leading. I did not have to say anything more for I felt Dean’s hand as it reached for my cock. That was the prelude to an ejaculation that sent my senses flying and an initiation into all manner of sexual activities. Once I had been introduced to gay sex by Dean I would go round when Jim was also at home and we had many happy times as a threesome. So you see I had a good couple of very obliging tutors! Sometimes I would find only Dean at home and on others, if he was travelling on business, I would spend time with Jim. Jim was always hungry for sex and he would grab me the minute I walked in the door. In a trice he would have me naked and on my knees as he plunged his seven inch cock deep into my willing butt. He would always pull out before he came so that he could shoot his load over my chest. I would scoop it up with my fingers and lick it off; we would then kiss and share the salty feast. As a reward he would suck my dick until I shot my wad in his mouth and we would play the kissing game once more.

Sex play with Dean was always different, he was gentle, slow and eager to show me new ways of staving off ejaculation for as long as possible, bringing me to the brink and then easing off until when I did cum it was electrifying in its intensity,’ Walt said. ‘So Joe, what do you fancy now?’ he asked.

I was hard, listening to his reminiscing about his times with his horny gay neighbors. ‘My cock is up and ready for whatever treats you have in mind,’ I replied.

[Craiger]

Joe must be in heaven! Walt has entrapped him and he loves it. I hope the same is true for Alan and Mitch. They deserve true happiness as well. Love how this romance has turned the corner from depression and grief to happiness all around. Thanks, Auto.

Chapter Ten – We Catch up with Alan and Mitch

The two guys settled in happily together and Alan set about seeking employment. He scanned the ads in the local press and was in touch with a couple of employment agencies but it seemed that no one was hiring. He was becoming more frustrated as the days passed by and had it not been for Mitch’s comforting presence in the apartment they were sharing he might have considered packing his bags and leaving town. When Mitch came home after his day at the office he was concerned to find Alan looking so downhearted.

‘Don’t worry, a job will come along before you know it, I am sure there will be something before the month is out, don’t be too impatient,’ Mitch said as he took Alan in his arms to console him.

‘I fell so stupid, I gave up a perfectly good job on a whim, I should have found employment here before I came to join you,’ Alan said.

‘Never mind, we are together again, that’s all that matters,’ Mitch replied.

‘Yes it is great that we have found one another again but I can’t live off you, I must earn my keep,’ Alan said.

‘You can earn your keep by talking me in the shower, I am feeling hot and grubby after a day at work in the city, you come and wash my back,’ Mitch laughed as he started to peel off his clothes.

‘You know how to make a guy feel horny,’ Alan said, cheering up somewhat. He proceeded to take off his own clothes and he chased his naked lover into the shower. Mitch turned on the water and once it had run warm, he stepped into the cubicle. Alan squeezed in behind him and closed the door. It was a tight fit for two grown men but the close proximity of their bodies under the warm deluge of water was arousing. Alan reached for the shower gel and put a generous blob onto a sponge. He then proceeded to rub the sponge over Mitch’s muscular back. Alan squeezed a quantity of foam onto his hand and used that to wash Mitch’s crack and butt hole allowing the jet of water to wash the area clean before finishing it off with some gentle tantalizing strokes with the soapy sponge.

Mitch turned round so that Alan could go to work on his front. By now his cock was rigid and standing proudly in an upward curve. This always fascinated Alan as his own cock would only reach a horizontal level when he was fully aroused. Mitch reckoned that Alan’s cock was ideally angled for quick and deep penetration and that the slight twist to the left gave him immense pleasure when Alan fucked him. But now Alan was massaging Mitch’s cock with his soapy hand as Mitch was tugging on Alan’s erection.

‘Do you reckon there is room for you to get this up me in here?’ Mitch asked as he gave Alan’s cock another jerk.

‘Turn you back to me and stand on your toes and I will try,’ Alan laughed. Mitch did as he asked and he gasped as he felt the hard, thick cock prod his butt hole. The shower gel had offered enough lubrication for Alan to be able to slip in. He leant back against the wall of the shower so that Mitch could ease his position and buck back onto Alan’s prick. What followed was an awkward manoeuvre which soon had them laughing and gasping with pleasure.

‘I think I can offer you full time employment as my ass plug,’ Mitch laughed. Alan grunted an unintelligible reply as he finally shot his load into Mitch’s hole.

‘Thank you kind sir,’ Alan said. ‘That’s the best job offer I’ve had all day. The only problem is that I need you to offer me the same service and the sooner the better!’

‘Ok, I’ll accept your terms,’ Mitch said. ‘But I think it would be more convenient elsewhere that in this confined space.’

Mitch turned off the water and opened the door to the shower stall. They stepped out and each grabbed a towel and dried off before going into the bedroom where Mitch shoved Alan onto the bed. ‘Now I’m going to plug your hole,’ he said and lifted Alan’s legs, pulling him onto his erection.

‘Damn! That feels good,’ Alan grunted as Mitch pushed deep inside him. Alan felt his own erection grow and he jerked on it until he came on his abdomen, the cum pooled in his navel and Mitch scooped it up with his fingers and feed it into Alan’s open mouth. He then leaned down to kiss Alan so as to taste the jizz before he swallowed it.

Good to hear about our other two lovers. Depressing as it may be, Alan will find employment and with the help of his devoted partner will regain his self confidence. Who knows, the twist may be that Walt and Joe may help in this matter. Anger and regrets are never positive and everyone seems to have moved on. On with the story. Thanks, Auto.

Chapter Eleven – We return to Walt’s Place

Joe lay alongside Walt with just a single sheet covering them. They had made love in the large king size bed and were relaxing in the afterglow of their exertions. ‘Tell me,’ Joe said, ‘how is it that you are married yet it is so obvious to me now that you are gay?’

‘Ha-ha,’ Walt laughed. ‘After my encounters with Dean and Jim I was inside the deepest, darkest closet and would never admit to any one, hardly even myself that I was anything other than straight. I had had these feelings for guys for as long as I could remember and fought against them. On rare occasions I almost gave into my urges. I can remember the time when I was in a changing room with a fellow student I had known for years and I reached out to touch his cock as it fell through the opening in his skivvies. He saw my movement and said that if I touched him he would report me. I made a joke of it, saying I was only pretending and he let the matter drop. However, he avoided me ever after and I resolved never to do anything like it again.

I had known Linda for some time and we were part of a gang of friends that used to hang out together. She was attracted to me and I thought that the best way I could cover up my gay leanings was to marry her and settle down with a family. At first our marriage went well, the sex was good but I have to admit that I was thinking about guys as I came. The kids did not arrive and Linda started going to the gym on a regular basis. That was when things really started to cool between us and as I told you earlier, she is having an affair with another guy. Divorce in well and truly on the agenda.

I am happy with that, and what would make me happier still would be the thought that we could be a couple’

Joe was surprised by this last comment Walt had made. ‘We don’t want to rush tings, are you really sure?’ he asked.

‘Joe I have known you a long time now and I have always had the hots for you. I am sure we could get along just fine if you are willing to give it a try.’

‘I am more than willing,’ Joe responded as he turned and pulled Walt to him. They kissed fondly and pulling the comforter over themselves, went to sleep.

It was a few days later when Walt called Joe into his room at the office. They had agreed to keep their relationship a secret from the rest of the staff for a while. ‘Joe, I need to have your opinion on something. The manager of our west coast office is going to take over our branch in Canada and I propose to promote Mitch to the manager’s position. That leaves a vacancy and I am wondering whether it would be a wise thing to suggest that Alan joins the company again as Mitch’s deputy.’

‘That sounds fine to me,’ Joe replied. ‘We know that they are together and would work well as a team. Alan proved himself up to the job whilst he was here – I was sorry to see him go. I reckon if you put the proposition to Mitch he will jump at it.’
‘OK,’ Walt said. ‘I’ll phone Mitch now and see what he has to say.’

Mitch was over the moon. He immediately rang Alan’s mobile and told him the good news.

‘Are you sure that we can work together?’ Alan asked.

‘As sure as I am about anything,’ Mitch replied. ‘Shall I ring Walt Armstrong back and tell him that you will join me here?’

‘OK,’ Alan replied. ‘He knows about us, I presume and he has no problems with two gay lovers working for him?’

‘Don’t be daft, he is not interested in our private lives. If we work well and this branch continues to expand and thrive as it has been doing, he wouldn’t care two hoots about what we got up to after hours.’

Mitch rang off and called Walt back. ‘Hi, Alan is happy to accept your offer of employment here and I know we will make a go of working together as part of the team here. And thank you for not only the promotion but thinking of Alan to fill the vacancy. You have no idea as to how happy you have made us both.’

‘Oh, I have an idea,’ Walt replied. ‘Things are going well all round it seems. Tell Alan Joe sends his regards and is happy for you both.’

[Craiger]

I knew it.....Walt is such a good guy and fortunately Joe has no regrets. Besides, he has the boss..... I wonder when Alan and Mitch will find out about that twosome. Great update, Auto.

Chapter Twelve – Happy Endings

Several weeks passed and late one afternoon, Walt called Joe into his office.

‘Shut the door,’ he said. ‘I’ve got wonderful news.’ Joe closed the door and sat on a chair to the side of Walt’s desk. Despite the privacy of the office they had continued to maintain an ‘employee and boss’ appearance and so far as they were aware, the staff was not any the wiser about their relationship. Joe had kept on his own apartment and would from time to time stay over with Walt or Walt would stop at the apartment for the night.

‘At last we can let the world know we are a couple!’ Walt exclaimed. ‘I have just had a phone call from my layer to say that my divorce is now final and that the papers are on their way to my house by courier even as I speak.’

Joe smiled, ‘That is good news maybe we can have a drink to celebrate.’

‘Better than that,’ Walt said, ‘I have booked us into a five star hotel for the night with a celebratory dinner for two as well complete with some vintage champagne.’

‘That’s great but a quiet night in wouldn’t go amiss,’ Joe replied.

‘No more quiet night in – we can let the world know that we are mister and mister from now on and I mean to do it with a splash starting tonight!’ Walt said grinning like a Cheshire cat that had caught a fine fat juicy mouse. ‘That is alright with you, Joe?’ he asked.

‘Yes, sure… fine… it was just a bit unexpected that’s all. I thought the divorce would take longer.’

‘Gladly no; Linda has money of her own – her father and an uncle left her a considerable sum between them; so she is not seeking any kind of a settlement from me. Probably as well as she was the one who walked out of our marriage in favor of her toy-boy. So, are you on for tonight?’

‘Yes of course I am and I suppose I should congratulate you on your freedom and newly found single status,’ Joe said.

‘Free yes but single no – I hope that from now on we shall be a couple and like all good fairy tales, live happily ever after,’ Walt said with a smile.

‘Folks may regard us as a couple of fairies, so why not let’s at least make a darn good try at the “ever after” bit!’ Joe said enthusiastically having finally come round to the idea that all was going well for them. Walt came round from behind his desk and pulling Joe to him by his silk necktie kissed him. There was a knock at the door and without waiting Joan, Walt’s secretary walked in. They sprang apart blushing to the roots of their hair.

‘Sorry,’ Joan said. ‘But don’t mind me. I gather some good news is in the offing – e have heard on the grape vine how things are between you and I gather your lawyer has recently been on the phone. Perhaps congratulations are in order?’

‘Yes, Joan. Thanks you,’ Walt said. ‘Joe has consented to be my… My what exactly..? Husband..? Partner… No that sounds too formal. Joe has consented to be my lover… there I’ve said it!’ Walt exclaimed.

‘Well, we all guessed that something like that was on the cards,’ Joan said. ‘You may have tried to look like a pair of innocents but you cannot hide the kind of looks that two people who are in love with one another exchange for everyone to see. I can say on behalf of all the staff, without exception that we are pleased for you both and if I say you deserve each other, I mean that in the nicest possible way.’ Joan put the letters she was holding on Walt’s desk and backed out the door smiling as though she was mother of the bride. As the door closed a loud cheer could be heard coming from the office staff.

‘Well, we’ve done it now,’ Walt said. ‘We may just as well call it a day and hot tail it over to that hotel and the plush bedroom I have booked for us.’

‘You’re the boss – so long as you don’t dock my pay as I am leaving off early!’ Joe joked.

‘What’s that? Dick instead of pay – my hearings not so good at this time of the afternoon,’ Walt laughed.

‘I was thinking it was a good thing we didn’t get beyond kissing as Joan walked in unannounced,‘ Joe remarked.

‘Oh I don’t know, Joan is pretty unshockable but you’re probably right, we shall have to learn to behave ourselves during office hours, it wouldn’t do to frighten the horses!’

**********************

Joe was concerned when they arrived at the hotel that they had not got fresh clothes to wear when they went down to the dining room for their meal.

‘No problem,’ Walt said. ‘Everything has been taken care of. When they arrived in the bedroom Joe saw that there were two large boxes on the bed. ‘Go ahead, open that one, it’s yours,’ Walt said smiling as Joe lifted the lid. Inside there was a new set of underwear, socks, some smart chinos and a dress shirt. To complete the outfit there was a sports jacket.

‘Walt, these are great and I have always wanted a jacket like this, what can I say? Thanks, you are too kind.’

‘Rubbish, that’s how things are going to be from now on. We share and share alike and at home we shall be a loving couple. Here let me show you my new clothes.’ Walt opened his box and brought out a similar outfit but in different colors and a blazer in place of the sports jacket. ‘Now we have time for a little bit of loving before we take a shower and go down for dinner.’

Meanwhile in another room further along the hallway a second couple was engaged in much the same kind of thing, admiring new outfits and enjoying one another’s horny bodies before taking the plunge in the Jacuzzi in the magnificent bathroom attached to their bedroom.

**********************************

Walt and Joe took the elevator down to the ground floor and walked through the lobby to the dining room where they were greeted by the Maitre d’.

‘Good evening gentlemen, do you have a reservation?’

‘Yes, Walt answered. You have a table reserved in my name – Armstrong. Ah, I see my other guests are already seated.’ Joe looked in the direction Walt indicated and to his surprise he saw Mitch and Alan at a table set for four. ‘We can make our own way over,’ Walt said to the Maitre d’, ‘Perhaps you can send the wine waiter over so we can have some drinks while we are choosing from the menu.’

‘Certainly, sir,’ the MD replied as he placed menus in front of each of the four men now seated at the table. The sommelier appeared with a wine list that he handed to Walt. ‘Would you care to order some aperitifs?’ the sommelier asked. Each man in turn said what they would like to drink and Walt smiled as Joe said, ‘This is a surprise, I never expected to see you guys here tonight!’

‘Walt phoned and here we are,’ Mitch said. ‘It is as much a surprise to us as it is to you.’ The drinks arrived and Walt said to the sommelier, ‘I think a bottle of your best champagne would not go amiss and he then indicated his selection of both red and white wines to go with their meal. A waiter appeared to take their orders from the menu and the four colleagues sat back to enjoy their evening together.

‘Your very good health,’ Walt said as he held his glass aloft and toasted his three guests. The meal wet well, good food, good company and fine wine. It was as they were relaxing in the hotel lounge over coffee that Walt said, ‘I want to keep this occasion informal but I do have to say a few words. I am pleased that the branch office is in safe hands with you Mitch and Alan and I am happy that you are together. You may have guessed already that Joe and I are together now as a couple and I wanted to celebrate that as well as your promotions. Thank you for being here with us!’

It was the next morning that Joe woke and looked down at the still sleeping Walt that his mind went back to the time when he observed Alan in much the same manner. He realized that his brief affair with Alan was nothing more than that and that in time they would have drifted apart even if Mitch had not appeared on the scene. Joe knew in his heart that he now had a soul mate for life in Walt and he could not have been happier!

The End

[Craiger]

Aw! That was a fit and romantic ending to a delightful story, Auto. Some things in life really do end like a fairytale, and this was one of those times. Thank you for continuing that story. I have truly enjoyed it and look forward to more of your tales. Romance, mystery, sex, intrigue......I know you have them up your sleeve. Thanks again.
