This is a retelling of my previous story, Blind Lust, from the point of view of the mystery man. Enjoy!
--------------------------------
It was probably the weirdest phone call I've received in my life.
Jeffrey and I had just finished dinner and were cleaning up the kitchen when the phone rang. Jeffrey answered, then handed it to me. "It's Linda... from the wine shop."
"Hi Linda! What's up?" I thought it was a little odd to be receiving a call from Linda as we didn't have any wine on order at the moment. I'd been buying wine from Linda for years. Once Jeffrey entered the picture, we often hung out after tastings with her and her husband Rick.
"Steven, I have a really bizarre favor to ask and I know it is a huge one. If the answer is 'absolutely not' I will totally understand. Is now a good time?"
A little perplexed but more curious, I answered, "Sure. It never hurts to ask."
She giggled nervously, "Well, I hope you're right. There's a much longer story that I'll explain to you and Jeffrey if you tell me you'll at least consider it, but here goes..."
"Rick had an accident at work and has lost his vision for a couple weeks. The doctors are telling us that it will be totally fine but he is really depressed. I'm looking for something totally out of left field to cheer him up and there's a fantasy he confessed to me a long time ago that I'd like your help with..."
Here she paused. I heard her take a couple deep breaths for courage. "Rick can't see a thing so it would be totally anonymous, but I'd like him to give you a blowjob."
There was silence on the line for quite some time as I tried to pick my jaw off the floor. Yes... that was a really bizarre favor.
The silence must have been torture. "Steven, I'm really sorry I've offended you. Please at least accept my apology for overstepping the line."
"No.. no..." I laughed. "I'm certainly not offended and I'm not sure if I think this is such a good idea but you've certainly made me curious what the hell is going on."
Jeffrey was now eyeing me strangely trying to figure out what was being discussed.
"Well, I'm glad. If you're free I'll drop by with a special bottle as a treat if you'll at least hear me out. I know that this is asking a ton and I'd like to explain it to Jeffrey myself. What do you say?"
"Sure. Come on by. You can't start a request like this and then leave me hanging!"
In her best mock serious tone she replied, "Steven -- that is exactly the opposite of what I am trying to do!"
Fifteen minutes later Linda, Jeffrey, and I were sitting in the living room sipping an amazing ice wine as Linda fidgeted while we made small talk.
Finally, it was Jeffrey who broke the ice. "Linda, I've got to know what this huge favor is! Steven told me that this was going to be a weird evening but he refused to tell me any more than that. Out with it, woman!"
"Where to begin? Well, Rick had an accident at work last Friday and his eyes are badly burned. He's temporarily lost his vision but the doctors have assured us that it is temporary. He's going to be fine but he's pretty badly depressed. He's refusing to do anything except stay in bed because he's so embarrassed at needing my help for just about everything.
I've tried to cheer him up in my own 'special way' a couple times but it really isn't helping his mood. He's a visual guy and I think it almost makes it more painful for him that he can't see me. Well, I've been trying to think of something to snap him out of it and I think I've come to the answer, but I need help.
Jeffrey... With your permission, I'd like to borrow your boyfriend."
We both looked at Jeffrey waiting for his reaction. I was impressed that he kept his poker face. He raised one eyebrow a bit and said to me with a bit of a smile, "Now I know why you didn't want to tell me yourself!"
"So, a few months back Rick confessed to me that he had always considered himself bisexual but had never acted on the urge. He's always had this fantasy of giving a blowjob to some mystery man that he never really gets to see other than his cock. It occurred to me that this would be the perfect situation for acting out his fantasy. He can't see a thing so it would be totally anonymous. We've got many gay friends around the area so he'll never suspect it would be you. I want to surprise him, help him fulfill his fantasy, and that's it. Nothing more required from you.
"I know this is a huge deal and I truly hope I'm not offending you by asking. I know that you two have been together for a while now and I don't want to upset your relationship. I know that this is definitely not a normal request. I'm not trying to recruit you into a threesome where I seduce you, too. I'm not trying to find Rick a steady boyfriend and I don't expect you to do anything else."
She suddenly seemed exhausted after getting through her story. She slumped back into the couch and took a deep drink of her wine.
I stepped up immediately so that she wouldn't be left in uncomfortable silence for the second time tonight. "Linda, I can't say that I've ever been asked any question this unique before but I'm definitely not offended. I hope Jeffrey isn't either. I can't promise that I'll say yes and I can't even promise that I can give you an answer tonight but would you give us a few minutes to talk?"
"Sure... I know this is something you need to discuss. Take your time. Rick is sleeping and he thinks I'm at the shop tonight."
I topped off Linda's wine, took Jeffrey's hand, and walked upstairs where we could talk to each other candidly.
He started by asking the most basic question, "Do you want to do this?"
"Well, first of all, I don't NEED this. I'm not trapped, confined, longing, or anything like that. If I did something like this it could only be because I knew that it wouldn't change anything with us. I like Rick and I think I could get into it. So, yes... I guess what I'm saying is that I want whatever you want."
It was a complete cop-out and I knew it. We went back and forth for a while, feeling each other out on the possibilities until we came to an agreement.
When we came down the stairs Linda stood up, smiling nervously. Jeffrey went straight to her, took each of her hands in his, and said, "Ok, Linda you can borrow him but there will be conditions." She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a tight squeeze.
"Thank you, thank you!!!! Whatever you want -- we'll work it out. I don't know how I can ever thank you enough."
"Oh, I'll get my thanks all right, but it is Steven that is going to owe me, not you!" He gave me a sly wink.
"Ok... I don't know if this would make it better or worse, but would you like to watch?"
Jeffrey just shook his head no. It took a few more minutes to work out the details and we walked Linda to the door. She gave each of us a big hug and turned to go. With a brief pause, she looked back. "Steven, I don't quite know how to ask this but.... Are you huge? I know from experience that it might not be the best introduction for Rick if you're, umm, 'over-packing' shall we say."
