This is a true story about something that happened to me, after, as many embarrassing stories do, having consumed way too much alcohol.
I'm a gay man in my mid-60s and both the characters in this story are well over the age of 18.
I'm posting this story in the "First Time" category in Literotica as it describes an incident that was very much a first for me. It could easily have been entered in the "Non-Consent/Reluctance" category, but I decided afterwards that, as I'd really had many opportunities to stop what happened, a description of my First Time is more appropriate.
There is no gay sex in this story.
I confessed this story to a close and long-standing work colleague of mine after he noticed one morning that I was not looking, or feeling, my usual chipper self. I swore him to secrecy and described to him the 'incident' that had left me hugely embarrassed and decidedly under the weather. He found the tale both funny and erotic and suggested I could share it more widely!
After a trip away for work, I had woken up after a night in a hotel where I had consumed way too much alcohol and couldn't believe what had happened the night before.
In my life, I can think of only two times when I've made a fool of myself by consuming too much alcohol and both times involved an excess of champagne! The first time was at an awards ceremony for work in the Waldorf Hotel in London and the second time was...
I was away from home for work and it was the first time in a while post the covid pandemic lockdowns. I was staying a couple of nights in a hotel and what happened was most out of character for me. I wouldn't normally drink heavily on a "school night" but it was one of those situations where everything was very relaxed - lubricated by way too much champagne - and it just happened as though it was natural and happened frequently. When in fact it was nothing but and a first (and probably last!).
The hotel was quite an up-market one. I'd arrived early evening and decided to go out for something to eat rather than stay in the hotel. Something I do not normally do as I hate eating out alone. I'd got back to the hotel around 9 o'clock, having already had a couple of beers with the meal, and decided as I wasn't yet tired and didn't have any work to do that night and that my first meeting the following morning wasn't until 10, to have a G&T in the bar.
I was the only person in the hotel bar, so I sat on a stool at the bar and was enjoying my drink whilst flipping through emails and other trivial stuff on my phone when I noticed, in the corner of my eye, someone else come into the bar.
She sat about a couple of seats along from me and ordered a glass of champagne. I don't normally pay much attention to other women, but I happened to glance up as she looked at me and smiled. I acknowledged the smile, but my head went back down to my phone.
After a while, I heard her order another glass and I looked up again. She looked about my age (60's), not overweight, but quite a big woman, very smartly dressed and prettily made up. She opened a conversation with; "do you mind if I ask you something?"
I replied, "sure, fire away".
"Are you gay?"
That's not a question I get very often and normally in public or with people I don't know well I wouldn't even acknowledge or answer it, but after a couple of beers and a large G&T and with no one around I was at least curious to learn why she even thought that, so replied.
"How can you tell?"
She explained that she thought that over the years with many other gay friends, both male and female, she'd developed a good gaydar and that she was rarely wrong! She explained that she was not gay but had a vast collection of friends, many of whom were gay or lesbian.
I didn't pursue that conversation further, but we got chatting about why we were there, and it turns out we had quite a lot in common and, before I knew it, we had been chatting about work and work-related matters for almost an hour. Her glass was empty, and I didn't really want to prolong the evening by offering to buy her another drink but when I returned from the loo, I discovered that she had taken the liberty of ordering another glass of champagne including one for me. I didn't know that she had ordered a bottle at the time.
The conversation continued, lubricated by the champagne and we were getting along famously -- we had so much in common -- at least through work.
We were still the only customers in the bar other than the bartender who was discreetly keeping out of hearing distance.
The conversation got a little more personal as we each enquired of each other about family. She was married, had kids that had left home, and it sounded as though she was more than happy with every aspect of her home life.
She then asked me the question that I hate, and wouldn't normally entertain with an answer "so, who's the man and who's the woman?". I hoped my facial expression would show her how distasteful I found the question, but she pushed further and as she was such a lovely woman, and we were having such an enjoyable evening I eventually did answer; "predominantly I'm top, my partner is bottom but very occasionally I've been known to switch", was my response.
The conversation continued for a while until we both decided to call it a night and head to our respective rooms. Remember I'd had a couple of bottles of beer, a large G&T and half a bottle of champagne by this time. I'd no idea how much she had drunk but it was at least half a bottle of champagne -- possibly more.
We made our way up to rooms discovering we were both on the same floor. As we walked/staggered along the corridor, we got to her room first...
All the way up from the bar to our rooms we continued our conversation, mainly about work, IT, and technology. It just seemed like we'd known each other for ages, had so much in common and the chat flowed easily.
At her room door, she thanked me for a lovely evening and for helping to pass the time. I said similar and said normally I hate evenings like this - alone and away from home. As I said good night and turned to head along the corridor, she surprised me by saying she still had a half-opened bottle of champagne in her room that needed finishing off!
I replied quickly saying no thanks. It's getting late and we've both got work in the morning. Whilst saying that I glanced at my watch, which she noted and said, "see it's not even midnight, and besides, you said yourself that your first meeting tomorrow wasn't until 10 am".
Desperately trying to think of excuses to get out of it I said, "what would your husband say, inviting strange men back to your room for drinks?"
