(Takes up from end of Part Two.)
If I'd been somewhat preoccupied after my first encounter with Mike the week before, I was totally crazed now. I thought of him constantly, got hardons at awkward times, masturbated like I was 16 again.
Naturally, as someone who'd previously led a straight sex life, I wondered what this said about my sexuality. I said earlier that I was curious about gay sex, but now I wondered if something deeper was at work.
I was horny for Mike in a way I hadn't been for any person in years. By touching his cock, and kissing him so passionately, I'd set a fire that I sensed -- that I knew -- would be hard to put out.
What this meant in practical terms -- how far I might be willing to go with Mike -- was not yet clear. But the thrill I got from kissing him suggested I would enjoy other things that were previously unthinkable.
A lot depended on Mike, of course. I knew next to nothing about the guy, and I dreaded the possibility that he would get cold feet and ghost me at our meeting.
I need not have worried.
When I got to the bar on Wednesday, he was already there. When he saw me coming his way, a smile creased his lips.
"What?" I asked as we shook hands.
He leaned closer and said under his breath, "This is the first time I've seen you with your clothes on."
I felt myself blushing, but we both laughed.
I sat down. We ordered beers, and then there was an awkward silence.
What do you say to a guy you've had sex with but know absolutely nothing about?
"Okay," I finally said, setting the timer on my phone. "Your life in five minutes. Go."
Mike smiled and started talking.
He had grown up in Kansas City with two sisters and a brother. All except Mike still lived near their parents, and two had families of their own.
Mike's family had been fairly well off -- big house, good schools, travel. He'd been a decent student and a good lacrosse player in school, and actually got a scholarship to play D3 lacrosse in college. Then he parlayed an engineering degree into a good job in San Francisco, where he met his wife.
They'd been married about six years, he said, but they'd fought from the start and he thought it was only a matter of time before they got a divorce.
I told him my story: growing up in Arizona with one sister, my mom's early death, going to school at Cal-Irvine in finance, my father's death, my short marriage and divorce.
By this time we had finished our beers, so I went to the bar to get another round. When I came back, MIke asked, "So, have you done anything like this before?"
I told him about jacking off with my college roommate. He told me that he'd had a similar experience with a high school friend, and then again a few years ago with a neighbor.
"How far did it go with those guys?" I asked.
"About as far as we went the other day."
I took a swallow of beer.
"Did you think about going further?" I asked.
He looked around to make sure no one was in earshot.
"You mean like sucking cock?"
My dick gave a twitch.
"Yes," I said.
"My neighbor and I were headed that way, I think. Then he got scared his wife was getting suspicious, and he broke it off."
After a moment I said, "So, what went through your mind when you saw me the first time?"
Mike smiled.
"You mean when you were lying naked on a rock, beating your meat?"
I laughed, a little embarrassed.
"I blame it on the drugs," I said. "I was stoned at the time."
"A stoner?" he said. "I wouldn't have guessed.
"At first I was surprised, of course," he went on. "But it also turned me on, big-time."
"I could tell," I said. "You asked to join me and then didn't wait for an answer."
"I didn't want to give you a chance to say no."
"How'd you know I wouldn't punch you in the nose?"
"I didn't. Took a chance."
"I'm glad you did," I said.
"What about you? Did you ever want to go further with a guy?"
"Thought about it," I said. "Didn't have the nerve."
"What about now? Do you have the nerve now?"
"Yes," I said. "I can't wait till this weekend."
He leaned a little closer.
"I meant now now. Do you have the nerve at this moment?"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm parked in the garage next door, in a dark corner in the back."
I gaped at him.
"You want to fool around in a parking garage? Are you kidding?"
"Dead serious," he said.
"Isn't that kinda risky?"
He gave a snort.
"Dude, we've had sex twice on a rock in the middle of the forest. Now you're suddenly careful? If anything this would be more private."
I looked at him.
"Well, I am pretty horny....."
"I've had a hardon the last 10 minutes," he said.
"Me, too. Let's go then."
We paid the tab and left.
"Please tell me you're not driving a Civic," I said as we entered the parking garage.
"Ha, no," he said. "Brought the van. Lots of room in the back."
There was no one else in the elevator. When the doors closed, Mike pushed me against the wall and planted a passionate kiss on my mouth. I kissed him back and ground the bulge in my pants against his.
If the building had been taller and the elevator ride longer we might have wound up naked, but after three floors the elevator stopped and we stepped out.
