I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at my watch as I climbed into the car and settled back in the passenger seat. It was only just after three in the afternoon, but it felt a lot later. I glanced across at Andy, one of my business partners, as he slipped behind the steering wheel. His sigh of relief matched mine. The meeting we had just been too had not gone well.
"Only two more to go," I reminded him with a grin which was meant to cheer him up.
"Yeah – and let's hope that they go better than that one!" he told me, his anger barely controlled as we roared out of the car park.
We couldn't understand why the meeting had gone so badly. It was one of a series we were having with different clients. Andy was moving to another part of the business, and the meetings had been arranged so that he could introduce me as the new contact for the clients he had previously looked after.
This meeting was meant to have been one of the easiest – the client had already agreed to the change, and was someone Andy had known for a number of years. Instead, at the meeting, the client had just moaned about just about everything we had ever done for him.
"And he's let himself go – he's getting fat!" Andy suddenly exclaimed, his annoyance more than obvious.
I would have laughed, but I'm used to Andy – ever since I found out that he was gay, I've become used to his occasional outbursts, the comments that often only he can get away with. And over the last year or so, he has been more and more open with me about his life, which couldn't be more different than mine. After all, I'm married with kids, whereas he - at thirty - is a few years younger than me, lives alone, parties hard, and professes to dislike children of all ages.
"And to think that I used to fancy him!"
This time I had to laugh. I looked across at him, just catching his sideways glance. We laughed again, relaxing a little.
"So who do you fancy now?" I asked through my laughter.
At first I didn't realise that Andy had stopped laughing, that there was suddenly some tension around him again. My laughter faded away as I looked at him.
"You of course," he told me, his eyes on mine rather than on the road.
He steered the car across to the side of the road and pulled to a stop.
"You are as curious as I think you are, aren't you?" he asked, his hand slipping onto my thigh, squeezing me gently.
"Is it that obvious?" I murmured, blushing furiously.
"Let's just say I guessed," Andy told me.
But as I felt his eyes on me, I knew that he hadn't guessed everything.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He was right that I was curious – very curious in fact. But he hadn't yet guessed that by now I only wanted to satisfy that curiosity with one man – him.
I suppose that I've been curious about other men for a good few years, but in the last two or three years the feelings have intensified to the stage where I can almost feel another man's cock in my hand instead of mine as I lay awake at night thinking about it, to where I can almost taste the cock I've never sucked but want to.
Until four months ago, I just wanted to do these things, if only once. I wanted to touch another man, to feel his cock growing, hardening, in my hand, to feel his excitement as he was feeling mine. I wanted to suck a nice hard cock – and have mine sucked in return, sucked roughly, by a man kneeling at my feet. It wasn't as if I would look at a particular man, and think that I wanted his cock, or wanted him to have mine. It was just a feeling, a feeling that was growing, was intensifying.
A feeling I knew I had to do something about – and soon.
I've known for a long time that Andy was gay. It wasn't something we talked about much, but over the years as our friendship built, he was more open about what he got up to, his feelings, the difficulties he had faced. He had even sought my advice on occasions about how he should deal with different things.
As my curiosity about other men, about being with another man, grew, Andy never really came into my thoughts. Until four months ago, there was no one specific in my mind – just a need, a growing need that I had to do something about.
But then I saw Andy naked - and everything changed.
It happened while we were away overnight on a Strategy Conference with the business, with other senior staff and managers. After the first few sessions, a group of us decided to take a swim at the Hotel's fitness club in an attempt to unwind before dinner. I was a bit late arriving at the pool, so most of the others were starting to leave by the time I arrived. Andy was still in the pool though, and we ended up swimming a few lengths together, before heading back to the changing rooms.
I automatically opened my locker, and pulled my towel out ready for a quick shower. As I stripped off my trunks, the changing room was empty apart from Andy and me. As I stood naked, my back to him, something made me glimpse at the mirror to my side.
Andy was stood naked as well, looking at me. As I looked at him in the mirror, I could sense his eyes on me. I'm quite lean, but firmly muscled, and I could feel his eyes raking down my back and legs, feel them staring at my firm ass.
I looked back at him through the mirror, knowing that he couldn't see me looking in his direction. He was thicker set than I'd imagined, his chest and legs heavily muscled, his belly almost flat. But it was his cock that I was drawn to. It hung heavily over his balls, the tip partially exposed as his skin peeled back. At first, I thought that he looked as if he might be getting an erection – but then I realised it was the thickness of his cock, his length and the way it curved over his tight balls, that gave that impression.
I stared at him for what seemed like an age, but which was probably only a few seconds, unable to move, willing him to catch me looking at him, willing his twitching cock to rise. But it was then that I realised that my own cock was erect – and not just normally erect. When I glanced down, I don't think I'd ever seen my cock as hard or as long or as thick as it was then.
In a panic, I grabbed my towel and fled to the showers, my cock waving about in front of me. I dragged the shower curtain closed behind me and leant against the wall, my heart thumping. It was only then that I thought clearly enough to realise that my body had shielded my reaction from Andy.
I looked down again, and still my cock jutted out, almost obscenely, from my body. I reached down and touched my cock tentatively, feeling the strength, the heat, of my erection, of my reaction to seeing Andy, burning into my hand. I stroked along my shaft, stifling a moan of exquisite pleasure. I stroked my shaft faster, my hand becoming a blur until seconds later my cum exploded out of my cock, thick ropes of it splattering on the wall opposite me.
I stood gasping, visions of Andy, of his cock, imprinted on my mind, wishing it was his hand on my still erect cock. And from then on I knew that just being curious wasn't enough, that I had to do something about it, that I had to satisfy my curiosity – with Andy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So," Andy went on, "Just how curious are you?"
"Sorry," I muttered, shaking my head as I tried to get my thoughts together.
"You heard," he laughed, giving my thigh another squeeze.
I felt my cock rising as he left his hand resting on my leg while he looked at me carefully. I don't know if he realised what was happening to my cock, how I was reacting to his touch, but at that moment he turned back towards the front, started up the engine and pulled back onto the road.
"Fancy a drink?" he asked.
I nodded dumbly, not daring to speak. I didn't ask where we were going, and it wasn't until we were almost there that I realised that we were heading towards Andy's house in a small village just outside of town. He pulled up onto the drive, the car tyres crunching on the gravel. We sat still in the car for a few seconds, listening to the ticking of the engine as it cooled, before Andy leant over me and opened the door.
As I climbed out of the car, I looked around, as if I was wondering what I was doing there, before following Andy indoors. I'd been to his house several times before, but this time it felt different, very different.
Andy led the way into the house. I didn't say a word as he phoned the office and told them that we'd been delayed, and that we wouldn't be back in the office for the rest of the afternoon. He then led me through to the kitchen and pulled open the fridge. He lifted out a bottle of wine in one hand and some beers in the other, holding them out to me to choose. I nodded at the wine.
"Good choice," he told me with a smile.
I watched while he opened the wine, my cock starting to bulge again as I wondered where I was heading. I followed Andy as he picked up the bottle and two glasses and led the way out onto the patio, my eyes drifting down to his ass, firm inside his tightly cut trousers.
The wide patio overlooked a long garden, which was mostly grass, with tall trees and hedges around the outside. There were a few big, comfortable conservatory type chairs scattered around, along with a couple of sun beds, and a wider chair that could easily sit three or four people. The view was spectacular, looking out over open countryside, with no one overlooking the house or garden. It was totally peaceful – and private.
