I was fascinated by Geoffrey from the start.
It started when I read his bio on the matchmaking site. The text said he was a mature gay single man looking for connection. He was open to friends, but his ultimate goal was a committed relationship. The interests he listed were genteel and showed education and culture. His photo was "G" rated and showed a man of average height and weight with good taste in clothing.
I began a correspondence with him, and soon we were sending notes back and forth with regularity, even though we lived a long distance from each other. We exchanged photos, all very innocent and innocuous.
This was different from the few online courtships in my experience. There was no explicit sex talk. When we spoke of sex, it was vague and offhand. Geoffrey made it clear he was looking for physical intimacy, but he was not at all inclined to discuss these personal things with a veritable stranger across the internet.
I was fine with this mystery, in fact it made me even more curious and interested in him.
One thing led to another, and Geoffrey mentioned that perhaps we should speak on the phone. This seemed a natural progression. We chose a time when we would both have time for a leisurely conversation.
I expected a little bit of awkwardness as we reconciled our true voices to imaginings, but I was truly stunned by how Geoffrey sounded.
Please forgive me if I fall back to stereotypical words here. Geoffrey sounded very gay. He didn't lisp, but that was about the only thing missing from a complete set of over the top vocal mannerisms. His voice was high pitched and softly modulated. He giggled and oozed cynical swoops of dramatic expression about everything.
I was captivated by his obvious and apparent 'gayness'. Wasn't this exactly what I wanted? I didn't want just any man, I wanted THE man. I wanted connection. I wanted ... something... a lover? Boyfriend? Mate? Isn't a gay man exactly what I was looking for?
The more we spoke on the phone, the more notes we exchanged, the more I wanted to meet him. I fantasized about this obsessively.
Months passed. Summer was over and my busy time done. It was a twelve hour road trip to Geoffrey's condo, and I got there just after dark.
Finally we were face to face. Our hug was brotherly, genial. I was wondering about a kiss, but Geoffrey took my hand pulled me deeper into his home.
"Martini time!" Was all he said. But imagine how he said it. His speech was not 'feminine' it flashed a neon sign that read 'GAY'. I found it very sexy.
By the time we finished our first drink in the elegant formal living room we were jabbering like old friends reunited. We returned to the immaculate kitchen to mix another and I glanced about the perfectly decorated space. Art covered the walls and everything was just so.
When we sat again on the couch we were turned toward each other and our knees were almost touching. There was a moment then... Geoffrey looked at me and smiled. He reached out to touch my knee. My cock jumped to full erect in spite of being confined in my jeans. My tie had been loosened. I reached my hand out to touch his fingers. In a breath we were kissing. Softly, tentatively, then with growing intensity and passion. I was lost in the kiss, overwhelmed by the romance of it.
Geoffrey walked this fingers from my knee to my thigh and then to the outline of my hardon. I moaned into his mouth. We broke the kiss, but our foreheads were still touching. "baby, baby, baby' is all Geoffrey said. I found this charming. I found him charming.
I was quite confused though. Our conversations and correspondence had not been erotic. I had come for this visit to become acquainted. Sex was not a forgone conclusion. Geoffrey had made it quite clear that he hoped for a lover, not just a random assignation.
Geoffrey's hand was tracing my erection we kissed deeply, tongues fully engaged, breath ragged. My heart was pounding. "Oh sweetheart" Geoffrey whispered, "let's take this to the bedroom". He reached for his drink and draied it. I did the same. "Come with me sexy" he said. I smiled and followed him through the house.
His bedroom was large. Sparsely but completely furnished. There is a sitting area, a large TV and a low king sized bed. Everything was simply but delightfully coordinated.
