A recent high school graduate went on a field trip to Lake George, New York in June of 1969, celebrating his graduation in a different way than most of his class, who were attending the Senior Prom that night. Randy Miller wasn't interested in any proms, but he wasn't sure whether he was ready for what he was planning on either.

This was yet another opportunity for me to run, although now at this point since I had no idea where I was, that might make finding my way back home a problem. Actually, since my actual home was about 60 miles away and I was staying at a motel, I not only didn't know where home was from there, I had even less idea about the location of that motel I had spent 22 bucks on.
As for the man, to my shame I knew only as Colin, his last name neither offered or asked for? I didn't think he was a local either judging by his accent which I couldn't place. This secluded cottage he had taken me to was part of a larger complex, but what brought Colin to Lake George I never learned either. I was too scared to ask much of anything. Too scared to say no either.
The cottage door came open, and then I was herded inside. It was pretty much a bed and a dresser with a mirror, with a chair stuck in the corner, and there was a bathroom off to the side, where Colin said he was going.
"Get undressed, Randy," Colin whispered in my ear from behind and he aqueezed my shoulders. "And please relax. I'm not going to bite you, I swear."
I nodded and watched Colin got to the bathroom door while trying to figure how how this man got even bigger than he seemed to be in that bar where he picked me up. Then again, we were sitting on bar stools then so the difference in our heights and weights wasn't that obvious.
Colin had to be at least a half foot taller and probably weighed 60 pounds more than I did, which put him at around 6'3" and 210 pounds. Since I figured him to be around 40, that made him around twice my age. Bluntly, he was twice the man I was in every way, in addition to looking a little like a TV star whose name escaped me at the time.
So while it was clear what a skinny kid with ordinary looks at best would see in him, my question was what would this man see in me, and as I unbuttoned my shirt and looked in the mirror, the vision of my pale scrawny chest did nothing to answer that question.
I should have gotten that tattoo, I mused as I thought back to that evening at the fair when I had debated with myself over getting that sassy looking devil on my arm. I had talked myself out of it, but more because I was afraid of the pain than the aesthetics.
If I had gotten it, I would look more manly, I concluded, for only for a second because I knew that in reality it would only make me look more ridiculous. I wasn't the tattoo type, any more than I was the hippie type, although my longish blonde hair hinted at that. In reality it probably made me look more feminine, which was the last thing I needed, given the rest of me.
I pulled off my jeans and set them aside, and when I looked up at the mirror I cringed. Out of your league, Randy, I told myself. Get dressed and go. This man is going to come out and see me and my pitiful body along with the too-small-to-suit-me bulge in my tight white briefs and either laugh, or worse.
But then I looked up and discovered it was too late because Colin had exited the bathroom and was approaching the dresser I was standing in front of, and he was naked, or at least I thought he was. I had been too scared to look down, so all I saw was this handsome man with olive skin, big shoulders and a hairy chest who was now behind me.
"Mmm... we look good together, don't we?" Colin said, and I sort of laughed at that because I thought we looked mismatched. Chalky white, smooth and scrawny standing in front of big bronze, muscular and hairy made me look even more out of place.
"I don't know," I said as I look ahead at the mirror, and then it struck me.
Colin looked like the guy that played the Sheriff on TV - Sheriff Taylor, and I looked more like his boy Opie, although I'm pretty sure that Andy Griffith and Ronny Howard never were together naked in a cottage in Lake George or anywhere else.
Technically I wasn't naked, but that was changing because Colin's hands were sliding down my chest and taking the elastic of my underwear down, and not only was I not looking my best down there at the time, it seemed like my dick was trying to retreat into my intestines from fright.
"Mister..."
"Colin," he whispered to me after my underwear dropped to the carpet. "There's nothing to be scared about."
Easy for you to say, I though as his fingers raked through the tuft of golden hair above my dick, and as he took the tube in his fingers my knees were actually knocking.
"Back at the bar," Colin was saying. "That ID you showed the bartender? That wasn't fake was it?"
"It gets bigger," I said quickly. "I swear."
"That's not what I meant," Colin said as he stifled a chuckle as he started lazily pulling on my dick. "I can tell it's going to get bigger because it's so wrinkled. What I meant was that it seems like you're not very - I don't know - experienced. Have you ever been with a man before?"
"Sort of - not really," I said, giving a stupid response that meant I had messed around with a couple of guys my age but never did all that much. "Yes, but not, you know, with a real man."
"I guess I mistook your shyness back at the bar as a way to seduce me," Colin explained. "And it worked, whatever you did. I'm honored that you chose to be with me. That bar, did you know what kind of a place it was?"
"Yes, I had heard stories," I admitted.
"Well, I'm glad that I got to you before some of those guys did, let's just say," Colin said. "You know, you remind me of myself back when I was 18."
"I do?" I said, not seeing the resemblance at all, but when Colin leaned into me I found myself relaxing a bit, the thick pelt of hair on his hand feeling comforting against my smooth back.
"Yes Randy, you see, my first time with a man - my first real time as I think you tried to say, was in as similar situation as this," Colin explained. "I was scared and inexperienced, just the opposite of myself in many ways, and I wanted to run and hide just like you probably did at first."
