It all began innocently enough. I was 43 years old and had lead a strictly heterosexual life up till now. As a horny teenager I was drawn to anything sexual and that included guys. I didn't know what to make of those feelings back then and suppressed them. Homosexuality had a strong stigma attached to it back when I was a teen. I don't think I could have born the label homosexual, so I suppressed those feelings. But now I was in my 40's, the world had changed, and I wondered, was I truly heterosexual, bisexual, or homosexual? I decided to explore. It was easier now. The world was online and anything could be explored discretely.
I met Jim on yahoo chat. He seemed like a nice guy. He was older, easy going, and easy to chat with. We chatted several times and became friends. As we got to know each other, the conversation eventually got around to sex. He was openly gay and told me so. I shared my feelings about men and how confused I was. I also shared with him the fact that I liked the BDSM scene and had explored that once or twice with a Mistress. Jim said that was fine. He was in fact a Dom and also said that nobody knew how to dominate a man more than another man. He suggested we meet but I wasn't sure I was ready for that. We continued to chat several times and I began to feel more and more comfortable with Jim. He suggested again that we meet. I was hesitant but talked myself into it. After all, there was only one way to explore these feelings for sure and that was to act on them. Jim agreed that nothing would happen that I didn't want to happen and we could stop at any time. All I had to do was say stop. We agreed that our first meeting should be in public and ended the chat with the agreement that we would meet in the mall parking lot at 10:00 A.M. Jim was very specific about the time and place.
I was very nervous that evening and the next morning but also in a strange way excited. I thought about calling off the meeting several times. I also thought about just not showing up at all. That would be the easiest way out of this thing once and for all. But then again you only go around once in this life. I might not get this opportunity again and I convinced myself to show up. I reasoned that I could always just drive away if things didn't feel right or if Jim turned out not to be what I expected. So, I worked up the nerve to follow through and show up.
I arrived at the mall lot at 9:45 A.M. I wanted to be early. I wanted to make sure I could get a spot in the parking area where Jim had told me to park and I wanted to be the first one there so I could observe Jim as he showed up. We had exchanged vehicle descriptions so I knew what to look for.
I had my spot and was sitting nervously in the car, wishing I still smoked, when Jim pulled up beside me in his Lincoln Town Car. I was so nervous! I wanted to start the car and race out of there. But I couldn't. I just couldn't bring myself to leave even though my insides were screaming for me to leave. I had never done anything like this before. What was I thinking? I looked over at Jim and he motioned me over to his car. Last chance but I still couldn't. I opened my door and got out, almost mesmerized. I slowly walked over to his driver side window. He was indeed an older man. I could see he was overweight, and he was holding a little lapdog in his lap. Not exactly what I expected but then again, he seemed harmless enough.
Jim says ok you have seen me. You can see that I am what I said I was. Now you can follow me down the street to my house or you can leave. It is your choice. I know I should leave but I can't. I know I am being pulled deeper and deeper, but I am intrigued. Jim seems so harmless and yet so matter of fact. Obviously, he is willing to end everything right here, but I can't let it go. I agree to follow him. He tells me to pull into his driveway behind him.
Jim only lives a couple of blocks away and I pull into the driveway as instructed. Jim has parked in the garage and I follow him through the garage into the house. He closes the garage door behind us and leads me down the stairs to his finished basement. He takes a seat on the couch and tells me to stand in front of him. I am offered one last chance to back out, but I decline. I have come this far. Jim is pleased.
