I feel like an idiot because that's what I must look like, dressed like a third rate private investigator with a rumpled raincoat and a beat up fedora pushed as far down on my head as possible sitting in a Starbucks. The disguise, which is pretty much all this garb is, was designed to conceal my real identity because I don't know what I would do if anybody ever found out what I was planning on doing.
It's not that what I'm going to do is illegal - it's just that I'm ashamed of having had this fantasy all my life and never having had the guts to go through with it, until tonight that is.
It's a fantasy that I had actually experienced myself as a very young man, only that time I was the victim, if that's the right word for it. Victim sounds harsh because I wasn't harmed much at all, although I admit that I was scared. Maybe the fear was what made it special.
It was back in 1970, and a man who was about my current age managed to dupe somebody who up until then thought he was too smart to be taken advantage of. Me.
There I was though, blindfolded and naked in what turned out to be a barn out in the middle of who knows where, wearing handcuffs that were attached to a rope so high that I had to stand on my tiptoes to keep from dangling by my wrists.
"Don't be scared," the man told me more than once during the brief period of time he held me there. "I won't hurt you. I just want to enjoy you and then I'll make sure you get home safe and sound."
By enjoying me, he meant in a sexual way. I was not gay. I told him that before he gagged me, and I've maintained that all the years since. For someone who's not gay though, I not only had a couple of the most intense orgasms of my life in that barn, I've masturbated probably hundreds of times since then thinking about that hour or so. Now I'm about to have my livelong fantasy fulfilled, providing my young friend actually shows up.
I had tried to set this up one time before, but the guy either never had any intention of showing up or took a look at me in this Colombo costume and reconsidered. After all, what I'm asking is weird, and putting your faith in a total stranger to not hurt you and only do what he said he would takes a leap of faith.
I have a good feeling about this fellow though, because not only did we communicate electronically, I talked to him on the phone. He seemed like a charming lad, a student at a nearby college, but outside of learning that his name was Kenny I didn't want to know any more than that.
Kenny started to tell me more but I stopped him after he said he was 5'9". I wanted everything else to be a surprise when I unwrapped him, just like I was to that man back in the barn when he undressed me while I hung there helplessly.
That man hadn't been all that disappointed after he stripped me down, although he was a bit annoyed at the size of my dick, figuring a guy about 6' and 185 pounds would have something a bit more substantial between his legs. Join the club, I would have said if it weren't for the gag in my mouth at the time.
So all I know about Kenny is that he's a 19 year old student who just recently figured out he was gay and he's very much still in the closet. He prefers older men, and while I qualify there I made it clear that he wasn't going to be doing anything to me and would never see anything but my face when we first met.
I explained everything to him and told him exactly what I was planning to do to him and I was delighted when he had that it sounded like fun. Kinky but fun. Too trusting, I think, and at the end of the night I wanted to remember to talk to him about that.
"Sure sounds like you're gay," Kenny had said after I explained what I wanted to do to him and then informed him that I was not gay, and had a wife and two grown children.
"Sort of like something on your bucket list," Kenny said, and after he explained to me what that was, I had to agree.
"Must have been one hell of a good time," Kenny had said after I related much of what had been done to me that night almost 40 years ago. "For you to remember it so well. Still sounds like you must be gay, or at least bi."
Kenny's right of course. He knew me before he met me in that way. I've harbored feelings about men all my life, and pictured being with many of them but never pulled the trigger. Too scared.
Shortly after that day in the barn I got drunk with a friend and told him about what was done to me, and suggested that I would love to do that to him, and if he wanted, he could do it to me as well. That was the end of that friendship, sad to say.
So now I'm sitting in a coffee shop waiting for a guy who may or may show up, praying that I don't get recognized even though I don't live or work nearby. And Kenny thinks he's in the closet?

I knew it was him the moment he walked in the door, or maybe it was more like I was hoping it was him because he's beautiful. Fresh faced and boyishly handsome, and when he saw me he smiled this beautiful smile, probably because I looked every bit as goofy as I told him I would.
We shook hands and I offer to buy him a coffee or something but he declined.
"Too nervous," he says, smiling and when he does dimples appear.
Kenny also declines an envelope that I presented him. I had explained that he wanted to offer him something for his time, figuring that he could use the money for books or something, but while he had reluctantly agreed at the time, he had changed his mind.
"Doesn't seem right," Kenny explained. "Makes me feel like a - you know - if I took money. I'm just doing it because it sounds like fun."
"Okay," I said, putting it back in my pocket for now, and then decided to play father, or grandfather. "You know, you shouldn't be so trusting. I could be anybody, and while I promise you that I'm not..."
"I know who you are," Kenny interrupted, and over the next few minutes proved how much a savvy computer geek can find out about somebody if they want to.
"So it's not like I would just go off with somebody I never met," Kenny concluded, having put my name and other information in safekeeping in case I wasn't the nice guy I promised I was.
"Good," I said, not thrilled with having the kid know my real identity but happy he was cautious.
"Still going to be kind of scary though," Kenny said. "Being tied up and helpless, and naked in front of a stranger who can do anything he wants to you. I'm usually modest. Not much of a body."
"You're quite handsome," I assured him.
"Can we go now?" Kenny asked, but he wasn't in a hurry because he had anything else to do. "Kinda excited."
"Me too," I admitted as we left the coffee shop.

"Not your house," Kenny noted when we drove up to the darkened house on a very deserted road outside of the city, and as I drove up the driveway to the side of the barn I explained that it was a property I was trying to unload.
"You could scream all night out here and no one would hear you," Kenny noted as we entered the barn.
I had prepared the place much like I remembered the other place to be. I fired up a couple of lanterns for light and then showed Kenny the handcuffs that I had bought, and he smiled when he saw them.
"Don't struggle too much or they'll fall apart," I said of the novelty bracelets, which were nothing like the real ones that had been used on me back then, and after Kenny nodded I put the cuffs on him and then secured the blindfold over his eyes, making sure that he could not see out.
I remembered that being a particularly scary thing, to be blinded like I had been, but I also wanted to make sure Kenny wouldn't be able to see me as I did things to him, such was the level of my shame about my desires
My hand brushed his cheek as I blindfolded him, his skin so soft that I doubt whether he even shaved yet. So young and pure he looked, I mused as I pulled the rope down and secured the cuffs to it before yanking it up so his arms were fully extended upright.
"You're helpless now," I said calmly as I removed a handkerchief from a wrapper and told Kenny to open wide before placing it in his mouth to silence him.
