A loud ring of the bell just after seven told me that Richard had arrived. I hurried down from my first floor room to open the door and he greeted me with that open smile I had already become attached to.
"Hi Richard! You found my place OK?"
"Yep! Your map work was first class."
I led him up to my room and closed the door. "Coffee or beer?" I asked.
"Beer please," he replied. "I'm a bit warm after my walk."
I joined him in a beer. I thought it might help to remove any inhibitions either of us might have had, though I really didn't have any worries in that direction. We sat together on my sofa.
"You told me this morning that you weren't interested in girls," I said. Have you always been that way or is it the result of some unfortunate experience?"
He hesitated a moment looking straight in front of him and lightly tapping his bottom lip with the rim of his beer can. "Er. . . almost certainly my experience, he said turning to look straight at me. I had an unfortunate childhood."
"In what way?" I enquired.
There was another slight pause. "To be perfectly honest and put it in a nutshell, my mother was a brute. My father died before I started school and it was my mother's custom to leave my brother and I alone in the house, go out to the local pub and get stinking drunk, then come home and hit us about."
I sighed. "I know the situation," I said. I had a similar upbringing except that, in my case, the abuse was sexual, until my father put a stop to it."
Richard just nodded in sympathy. "Oh, there was nothing sexual about my abuse, it was just plain physical violence. My brother and I ran away on several occasions but the police always found us and would never believe us when we told them what our mother used to do to us. She was so plausible and luvvy-duvvy when anyone else was about."
"Are you still living with her?" I asked.
"Oh no! I waited until my younger brother was sixteen and then we both moved out. We're living with a relative now."
We went on discussing our abusive mothers in some detail as we drank our beer and it seemed to create a strong bond between us.
"Another beer?" I offered.
"No thanks. That's great for the moment. Now, what modelling do you want me to do?"
I had placed my drawings of Richard on a coffee table close by. I showed him the one with his legs spread wide open and his hands in his hair. "I loved this pose," I said. "It's so utterly sexy and appealing to me."
"It was meant to be," he replied with a short laugh.
"I'd like to spend more time on it and develop it into a finished drawing, and, later on, perhaps an oil painting," I said. "I know it's a difficult pose to hold for long but we could take it in short stages."
"Fine!" he replied.
"Also, I'd like to make a few variations," I said smiling and emphasising the last word.
He smiled back; he obviously knew what I meant. "OK. Anything," he said.
"Anything?" I asked.
"Anything!"
I immediately realised that this last answer meant we were about to embark on a relationship, so from that moment on neither of us held back.
I did a few quick poses which included some blatant full frontals; he enjoyed the posing and I enjoyed the drawing. I noted a reaction as his penis length increased. Then I did some work on his kneeling pose which I started in the art class. I was so pleased with the result that I decided quite definitely to repeat the pose as an oil painting.
Next, I got him to lie on the edge of my bed with his one foot on the floor. This was a really sexy pose and I noticed his penis arc outwards as it grew slightly stiffer. Richard was obviously enjoying himself. I made some adjustments to his pose by moving his legs with my hands. It was obvious that he liked me handling him.
I next decided to do some low key drawings by using only a table lamp and no room light, so creating some intense shadows and highlights. Once more I made excuses to handle his naked body to adjust the poses.
"You have wonderfully smooth skin Richard," I said. Those highlights look really great."
"Can I have a look?' he asked. He walked over and stood close by my side looking at the drawings as I sat on my chair. He was so close I could feel the heat from his naked thighs.
