This is a continuation of my experiences from my first year out of College. There are references to the previous story but aren't necessary to enjoy this story. I hope you enjoy.

It was the first week of June and it was beginning to look like it would be a long hot summer. My friend Tomas was gone until Labor Day and I had no prospects for a girlfriend. I thought about making a booty call to an old girlfriend but I was afraid my visit would be misinterpreted.
Work was getting grueling and I was thankful Friday had finally rolled around. All I had to do was last 8 hours. I poured myself a cup of java and sat down at my desk. I didn't have any plans for the weekend but I knew I would come up with something.
That morning Ben, one of the VPs I often took to the airport etc. came in and said, "Hi, how would you like to help me launch my new sailboat today?" He had just purchased a large sailboat and he was eager to get on the water.
"I'd love to, but will the office let me off with no notice?" Since I was new I didn't like asking for favors.
"I'll take care of that." Inside of an hour I had changed and was waiting in front of my apartment for him. He pulled up, his boat followed. Andy, another executive who was also going along followed along in his company car. I hopped in the truck with Ben and we were off to the lake.
The lake was 90 minutes away and Ben talked about how excited he was and how much he planned to use the boat this summer. The boat had a small cabin with a berth and kitchenette. It was almost self-contained.
"This should be a real babe magnet for you, huh?" I said
"Sure enough, but I don't have much problem finding women even without the boat." Ben was handsome, he was in his mid 30's (which seemed old to me at the time). "Are you interested in women?" He asked.
I was taken aback with his question. Why would he ask that? Did he know something? I had been very careful to conceal my relationship with Tomas, but did I slipup somewhere? "Well yea!" I stated a little too defensively. "Why would you ask that?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I simply had not seen you with a woman and thought you might swing in another direction." "It's ok if you do, I don't judge. I've had friends who were gay and I've even taken a 'side trip' or two with a man during dry spells."
My mouth had suddenly gone dry and I took a long drink of my Coke. My mind was racing. Should I come clean? Should I deny? What would be the consequences of my answer? "Well I consider my self sexually flexible." I said swallowing hard and watching for his reaction. "But I keep my dalliances quiet for fear of the rumor mill." We lived in a pretty small and conservative Kansas town and I didn't want to be a topic of discussion.
"You have nothing to fear with me." Ben said. "People who live in glass houses ... as they say."
The conversation became somewhat awkward after that and I couldn't wait to get to the lake and launch this thing.
When we finally arrived at the lake I jumped out and helped launch his big beautiful new sailboat. I was glad there were three of us because it took all of us to get it out in the water and it took an hour or so.
"OK guys, jump in and let's see what it's like 'underway'!" Ben said.
"Oh, I can't." "I promised my wife I would pickup the children from day care and by the time I get back into town it will be time." Andy said.
"Well, would you like to stay? It's still early and we can get in some sailing. I'll be heading back in the morning and you can ride along with me." Ben asked.
Without giving it enough consideration I answered. "Sure, that sounds like fun." I immediately wondered if I had made a mistake, considering our brief conversation in the truck.
Andy said his goodbyes and left. Ben and I boarded his new boat and without much effort we were underway.
The wind was just right and we were gliding across the water. It was still early enough that there wasn't much traffic on the lake and we felt like we owned it.
Ben proved to be a skilled sailor and he could direct the boat virtually anywhere I pointed. We were having a ball and time slipped away. It soon was time to think about dinner so Ben took us to the marina. Inside we picked up some light fare for dinner and a couple bottles of wine.
"It's going to be dusk soon and we need to decide where we want to berth for the night." Ben said. "Look for a cove that looks secluded and we can drop anchor there."
We headed back out and eventually discovered a nice little secluded cove that was surrounded by trees and not visible from the cabins and docks along the shore. Ben skillfully directed us in. He dropped the sail and I put in the anchors, one fore and one aft.
The wind died down and the lake became mirror like as the sun slowly set. We had a light dinner and Ben opened one of the bottles of wine. It was soon a dark moonless night.
"I wish I had brought a swimming suit." I said. "I don't want to get my cloths wet because they probably won't dry by morning, and besides I wouldn't have anything to sleep in." I commented.
Ben stood up without a word, put the ladder over the side, shed his cloths and jumped into the water. "Come on in, the water's fine."
Still a little unsure and feeling a bit shy I stood up slowly.
"Oh, come on. There isn't any one else around here for a mile."
I still wasn't completely comfortable with Ben, especially after our conversation in the truck. After a brief pause I decided to throw caution to the wind. I dropped my shorts (yes I was commando again) threw off my t-shirt and followed Ben in to the water. God the cool water felt good on my cock and balls. It had been a hot day and the coolness was fantastic.
"I should have had you get out the floating noodles." And Ben climbed back onboard, he paused briefly on the deck, almost posing. I got an eyeful of his naked body in the darkness, He had broad shoulders and hair over his chest, he had a tight ass and his cock seemed long. He had an attractive body, at least I was attracted and my cock began to harden beneath the water. Ben rummaged in the cabin and tossed in two noodles.
While he jumped in I got another view of his semi erect cock, nested in his ample pubic hair. I wondered if he noticed I was clan shaven and smooth chested when I undressed.
