Adam Sinclair was fresh out of high school in the summer of 1973, and while it was probably true that most of his classmates were happy about that, none were more thrilled than Adam. The 18 year old had spent 4 years in that hell hole called Shaker High being picked on and ridiculed for being a geek, and now the lad looked forward to going to college come fall and getting a fresh start.
Community College, Adam reminded himself, because since he and his Mom weren't well off financially it was the best they could do, but he figured that at least the students wouldn't be so judgmental there. They wouldn't care if he was no good at sports and was shy. They would accept him for what he was.
During that summer Adam had taken a job at a local grocery, and while it wasn't a lucrative job at least it was going to help pay for books and things the student loan wouldn't cover. The man who owned the store, Mr. Marsh, was a really nice guy too, and even started taking Adam home after the store closed at 10 so he wouldn't have to ride his bike home in the dark.
How nice Mr. Marsh really was, Adam would learn soon after the rides home began.
***
When Mr. Marsh pulled his pick-up truck into a deserted dead end street Thursday night Adam wasn't shocked like he had been the night before, and in fact he might even have been hoping that Mr. Marsh wouldn't take him right home because while what happened in the darkened cab of the pick-up truck last night was very exciting to the lad- after he had recovered from the shock that is.
He had kissed a man. Technically a man had kissed him, but Adam hadn't stopped Mr. Marsh when he did it that first time and when he did it again Adam found himself returning the affection. They had kissed for about five minutes, and although Adam was shocked at being kissed by a person with a moustache he got over it.
It wasn't like Adam had all that much experience at kissing anyway, since he only had really messed around with two girls before, but kissing was kissing and he had liked it, even when Mr. Marsh slipped his tongue in.
When Mr. Marsh had finally stopped, the truck windows were all fogged up, as were Adam's glasses. Adam wasn't sure if he was glad or not when Mr. Marsh started up the car and dropped him and his bike off at his run-down little home, because what they had done wasn't right. Guys didn't kiss guys.
He had liked it though, and while nothing much else had happened Adam was very aroused. Mr. Marsh had put his hand on his thigh and squeezed it gently while they necked and Adam's hand had come up onto his employer's bicep and did the same.
It wasn't lost on the student that there wasn't much difference in size between Mr. Marsh's muscular bicep and his own skinny thigh either, and Mr. Marsh's hairy arm was as hard as a rock. While Adam's employer was only a few inches taller than him he was close to twice his size because the burly 51 year old was close to twice Adam's 130 pounds, and the lad felt like the "before" pictures in those Charles Atlas muscle building ads in the backs of comic books.
After he had got home the night before, hurrying to his room after giving Mom a brief description of his workday, Adam had undressed and saw that his tight-whiteys were soggy, the result of his erection leaking while he had necked with Mr. Marsh.
Adam cringed at first when he thought about how embarrassed he would have been if his employer's hand had slid up from his thigh and discovered that he had a boner, but then he realized that Mr. Marsh would have probably hoped he was excited. Besides, if he had ever touched him Adam would have probably came instantly, as excited as he was.
Mr. Marsh wouldn't have been the first guy to touch him there but Brian Maxwell didn't count. Mr. Marsh was a man - a man with a wife at home - and that confused Adam. Why would a guy with a wife at home want to be in a truck necking with him?
Adam didn't know and didn't care, and all during work that Thursday night he thought about Mr. Marsh as he worked back in the little meat section of the store. He hadn't acted any differently towards Adam all evening and had said nothing at all about it even as he drove Adam home, which made Adam wonder whether the night before was just a - an accident? A hallucination?
But then the truck pulled off into the darkened dead-end side street once more and Mr. Marsh turned the headlights off.

"Back again," Mr. Marsh sighed as he looked over at his employee in the dim lights of the dashboard. "I would love to take you to my place but - and I don't think your mother would appreciate you bringing me to your bedroom either."
"No - guess not, "Adam mumbled.
"I took a big chance last night," Mr. Marsh confessed as he put his arm over the back of Adam's seat. "I thought you liked me but I wasn't sure."
"I like you."
"I mean, in another way," Mr. Marsh said in clarifying. "Have you been with a man before?"
"No. I mean yes sort of," Adam babbled. "I mean, not a man. A guy I went to school with but all we did was mess around a little. Not like - you know?"
"You seemed to like what we did last night," Mr. Marsh said as he slid closer to Adam, and after the lad nodded he added, "Wish we had more time but I know your Mom is strict."
"She treats me like a kid even though I just got my draft card in the mail yesterday," Adam said. "She gets scared being home alone and gets all nervous if I don't get home right after work."
"Moms are like that. My wife - she gets suspicious if I'm late too," Mr. Marsh explained as he reached over and ran his hand through Adam's hair. "You're so cute and I want you so bad."
"What?" Mr. Marsh said after Adam laughed.
"Nobody's ever called me cute before - except Mom maybe."
"Does that bother you? Me calling you cute?"
"No," Adam mumbled as his boss leaned over so close his moustache was brushing Adam's lips.
"Good, because you are," Mr. Marsh replied before moving his lips forward, and tonight Adam was prepared for this.
"Want you so bad," Mr. Marsh mumbled as he smothered the lad with kisses, and this time after his beefy paw landed on Adam's thigh it didn't stay there long.
"Oh!" Adam cried out when after a moment of fumbling his employer found his fully engorged dick.
"You're excited aren't you?" Mr. Marsh whispered into his ear as he nibbled the lobe. "So hard."
Although Adam was excited he was also terrified from fearing how Mr. Marsh would react when he finally found what his hand had fumbled briefly for, but the older man just kept passionately kissing him while squeezing the reed-thin prong through the layers of clothing, pulling at Adam's erection while the lad squirmed in his embrace.
