Chapter 2: With Darkness Comes Light
Ted must have passed out at that point as the next thing he knew, Ted was sitting on the front steps of the church. Still dazed, Ted got up and staggered to the big wooden doors only to find them locked. Had he actually gone inside or was it all a drunken dream? He ran his fingers over the left side of his neck and felt a wet spot. When he looked down at his fingers, he saw the blood and knew it wasn't a dream.
"What the fuck is happening to me?" he asked out loud.
Just then, he saw Mario the bartender approaching on foot.
"Jesus Ted! What the hell happened to you? You look worse for wear than when you left! Did you get to confess your so-called sins in there?"
Ted could barely speak. What could he say that would make any sense? Mario told Ted that he better come home with him and sleep it off.
Mario seemed genuinely concerned and, more importantly, seemed sane. Ted felt very comfortable with him and quickly accepted the offer. Mario led his new friend to his blue Saturn Ion which was parked on the side street of the church. Ted had passed out in the car so he had no idea where he was when Mario roused him after they arrived at his home.
It was a small but nice place and Mario gave Ted a quick tour ending upstairs at the bedroom.
Ted felt Mario's arm around him and turned to face him when in that instant, Mario's mouth was on Ted's, giving him a very wet, passionate kiss. Ted was in no condition to fight Mario off, not that he wanted to. It felt so natural and damn exciting truth be told so he went with the flow.
He felt a passion like he had never felt before-not with any of his teenage girlfriends or Kathy! Before long, both men were naked in bed. The kissing continued as the two hairy bodies rubbed together. Ted knew his cock was rock hard and he could feel Mario's cock poking him in the groin.
Those same thoughts of guilt were racing through his mind: he wasn't gay, he was married with a son so why was he allowing this to happen. Even more so, why was he enjoying it so much? Kathy had never really been so great in bed but she served the purpose. Had he been gay all along?
What had he missed out on all those years?
