"Are you one of them?" Jeremy asked.
I raised my gaze from his crotch to his face. I heard what Jeremy asked but I didn't know what he meant.
It's not like I knew Jeremy all that well. I had just started at the warehouse a few weeks before. My main job was packing orders on skids, but if there was a lull, I'd be sent to perform inventories or just sweep off the loading dock.
Jeremy on the other hand was a delivery truck driver. He was quiet, but he seemed to get along with everyone. When we met, he shook my hand in a powerful grip. I winced slightly and he let my hand go with a slight smile. We didn't make small talk, but I found myself watching Jeremy as he walked across the dock to his truck. I felt something strange that I didn't recognize, but before I could analyze it my supervisor told me to stop standing around. I felt distracted for a while but I got back to filling orders and concentrated on my task. I didn't want my supervisor thinking I was a lazy time-waster my first day on the job.
The next day, I saw Jeremy again. We didn't speak, but he saw me and mock saluted me. I returned the gesture. This became an ever-evolving ritual. I would be down in the stacks filling orders, but I would find ways to wander toward the loading dock, on watch for Jeremy. Sometimes I lingered near him on the loading dock, pushing a broom. As a driver, Jeremy often ate on the road, but from time to time he ate with us in the small staff room that doubled as a lunch room, and when he did, I did my best to sit near him; he nodded a greeting at me one time, and then ignored me. When I had occasions to be near him, he bloomed with a light sweaty smell; it was not an unpleasant odour at all and I found myself inhaling it consciously.
I became aware that I noticed Jeremy in a special way and I craved his notice of me. This was a bit of a stunning revelation to me, because until this time, my interest had always been reserved for women. At twenty-one, my preferences were for MILFs and BBWs especially, though my experience of them was mainly on Pornhub.
Jeremy was certainly not a woman, but he was older than me and he was big and beautiful. He was between thirty and thirty-five. He was tall, about six-foot-five. He had clipped, black hair, that fell in bangs over dark brown, guileless eyes. He shaved only twice a week, so he often sported a fine stubbly beard, visible on both his chins. His sloppy mode of dress screamed bachelor. His shirttails were often to be seen hanging out. His massive gut hung out in such a way that you couldn't see if he was wearing a belt or not. He always had his work jacket on, as if he was trying to hide his mass. He may have been self-conscious of his weight, which I suspected was over three hundred pounds.
As the days passed, I found myself pursuing this new interest with fascination. It dominated my thoughts at work and invaded my dreams by night. I'd wake in the morning sporting more than my usual morning wood.
One day, at the end of my shift, I was heading to the locker room to shower and change. By complete chance, Jeremy had just finished his last run and we pushed through the locker room door together. He grunted a rough greeting at me. My heart was beating a mile a minute at being so close to the object of my interest. I wondered if he was coming to shower as well... I hurried to my locker, undressed and grabbed a towel to wrap around me as I walked to the shower. From there, I could see Jeremy at his locker. He seemed to be thinking pretty hard about something. He looked back and saw me looking at him. I blushed furiously, but before I averted my eyes and went about my business of running the shower, I saw him take a towel from his locker.
Yes, I thought, thanking the universe that this man was going to be shown to me in his natural glory. Jeremy was coming to the showers too! I tried to look involved with my shower, already lathering my scalp with shampoo by the time Jeremy arrived.
He had his back to me as he discarded his towel and stepped under the water. I got an eyeful of his backside. His shoulders were wide and there were a couple of folds hanging off his lower back. His entire back was covered with fine hair; he had more hair on his back than I had on my chest. His ass, surprisingly, looked tight and fit and his legs were as muscular as an athlete's.
Jeremy turned around and I quickly half-turned so it didn't look like I was staring at him. Then a strange thing happened: he looked me over. It was a long and lingering look and he was very obvious about it, even though I was only watching him out of the corner of my eye. I blushed again and casually turned around so he could see all of me.
Let him look. I have a fast metabolism, so I am lean as a cadaver. I am fit enough but I would never pass for an athlete. My stringy arms hang from narrow shoulders. My chest is slightly sunken and my legs are spindles. My blond body hair is nearly invisible except for bushes between my legs and under my arms. My cock is a respectable six inches long. My ass is not wide and fleshy, but small and fairly bony. I have a long neck, a round head and a cap of short blond hair.
I continued rinsing the shampoo out of my hair. Then I lathered up with body wash and started scrubbing myself clean. After a few moments, I dared to look at Jeremy.
He was no longer checking me out. He was washing himself too. He pretended not to notice me, but even though I thought he was pretending, I couldn't stop my staring.
He raised his arms to wash his hairy armpits one by one, slowly. He scrubbed his way down his arms. He lathered up his hairy chest, rotating both hands over his man-breasts in a way that I found a little provocative. I felt a twitch in my cock. Then he spread the wash across his belly, the suds running off his rotund abdomen down toward his crotch. And there it was, Jeremy's penis.
I don't know what I was expecting, but the cock I stared at was quite small, perhaps two inches soft. He was cut and the glans of his little penis stood out like a big clit on a woman and just as inviting. It nestled between a disproportionately large ball sac and was almost hidden by Jeremy's pubic bush.
Many people would not have found this fat man with his hairy body and short cock attractive. I didn't fully understand why I did find him attractive, a fact for which there was physical evidence.
My erection was at full mast when Jeremy looked my way again as he was washing his cock and balls. He saw my boner and glared at me for a few seconds. Then he turned off the water on his shower and picked up his towel to dry off. I stayed in the shower while Jeremy dressed and left.
Stupid, I told myself when I finally had the courage to come out of the shower. If ever there was a chance blown, that was it. I didn't know if he was straight or not, but then a few days ago I would have said I was straight. I should have asked him out for coffee or something; not like a date, just a chance to make friends.
Okay, maybe a date. The memory of Jeremy's exposed nakedness was still fresh in my mind. My cock was still hard as I dried off and dressed.
That night, I dreamed of Jeremy again. He was naked but he was not in the shower. He was in an enormous bed and he was pulling my hand toward him... to join him...
The following morning, I had nerves before work. I would almost certainly see Jeremy that day, and if not, it would happen the next day or the next. I couldn't avoid it. What would come of the strange intimacy we had shared in the showers of the locker room? Nothing had actually happened after all, but would Jeremy be pissed at him? He did leave rather suddenly. Would he make a complaint to management about lewd behaviour in the showers?
So I fretted, but I went to work. The morning passed by quickly enough, and I never saw Jeremy until after lunch. By that time, I had worked up a real case of anxiety. So when Jeremy called over from his truck, I was all attention. He asked my supervisor if he could get some help with unloading this delivery.
And he pointed to me.
My supervisor shrugged and said, "Take him!"
Jeremy had gone out of his way to ask for me. Did that mean he wasn't angry, or was, but wanted to get me alone? I would be very alone with him in that truck if he was angry.
I had frozen to my spot.
Jeremy called to me. "C'mon, let's go."
