"Hey Mr. Longo!"
I had been tidying up the garage, so the voice from the driveway startled me, but I recognized it immediately as belonging to my son's best friend, Sean Farrell. He had been a fixture at our house for many years, and he was always unfailingly polite and respectful, qualities that seem to be in short supply these days, so he was always welcome.
"Hi Sean. Long time no see," I responded as I turned to face the lad, who with his bright red hair and multitude of freckles, reminded me of Alfred E. Newman of the old Mad magazine, because of the hair and freckles and the fact that he was often smiling.
With my only son off to college, I hadn't seen Sean in months, and after we shook hands I asked him how he was doing in the studies, with him having decided to stay in the area.
"Doing okay," Sean informed me. "How's Scott doing?"
"When he bothers to call, he seems to be doing well," I said. "Sure is quiet around here without him and you though. What brings you around these parts?"
Turns out he had lent Scott a book over the summer and my son had forgotten to return it. Not surprising, I replied, and told him he was welcome to look in my son's room for it.
"If you can't find it, give me a yell and I'll help you look," I said. "Almost done here anyway."
I watched Sean go up the back porch, his red hair almost glowing in the sunlight, and his presence made me realize how lonely it was around her. My wife had divorced me four years ago, and now with Scott gone the house was like a morgue.
A few minutes later I was finished with the project, and I was wondering whether Sean had found the book and just left, but that wasn't like him. Besides, his bike was still in the driveway, so I went into the house to see if I could help the boy out.
"Any luck?" I said after going down to hall to Scott's bedroom, but my sentence was cut off from the shock of seeing Sean, who was in the bedroom but was not looking for the book.
Sean was just standing there facing me, but the smile was gone. He was also naked.

"I don't understand," I said, trying not to look at the boy, who looked even smaller than his 5'6" and 130 pound frame did when clothed.
"Didn't know how else to do this," Sean said nervously.
"Do what?" I asked while trying not to look at the naked form.
"Always had a crush on you," Sean mumbled.
"You're..." I started to say, and after Sean nodded, I added, "I didn't know."
"Are you and my son..."
"Scott? God no. He's as straight as they come, dammit. He doesn't even know about me," Sean said.
"Tough secret to keep."
"It is, isn't it Mr. Longo?" Sean replied. "You can look at me, you know. I want you to, or at least I hope you do."
I had been staring at the wall behind Sean, trying like the devil not to look at the boy, but after he mentioned the secret part a shiver went down my spine.
"Scott doesn't know about you either, Mr. Longo," Sean said.
"Sorry?"
"I always suspected it about you, but a couple of nights ago I saw you go into The Fuse Box," Sean said. "Sometimes I can get in when the right doorman is there, but since I'm only 18 they usually keep me out."
"Don't you like me?" Sean asked after a moment of awkward silence. "This was probably a dumb idea. I'm sorry. I was hoping - always fantasized that you would see me naked and want me, but you won't even look at me."
"You're a very handsome boy," I assured him.
"Man," he corrected me. "I'm 18. I'm legal and I want you."
"What if Scott..."
"Scott will never know," Sean said as we stood in the same places we had been in all along, and then Sean took a small step toward me.
"Long time ago I saw you naked," Sean said. "Don't ask how, it's too embarrassing. You were the first man I ever saw naked and I was stunned at how great you looked. So hairy and your - well, the size of your cock. Couldn't wait to get to be like you, but that didn't happen obviously."
"You certainly didn't get cheated," I said in voice that was more like a croak, nodding towards his cock, which was certainly laonger than average, and then Sean brought his hand down and gave his manhood a long slow pull before letting it go, the effect of that making an already impressive piece of equipment even more so.
"I'll do anything you want me to," Sean said as he came right up to me and put his hands on my chest, looking up at me because I was a head taller than the diminutive lad. "Anything"
"I'm - I'm all sweaty," I protested as he started to unbutton my work shirt.
"I know," Sean sighed as he got the last button loose and pulled it out from under my pants, yanking it open and running his hands through the hair on my chest.
"Let me take a shower," I protested as he pulled the shirt off my shoulders and flung it aside.
"Why? I plan on making you sweat a whole lot more anyway," Sean replied, ducking down to bite my nipple. "We'll take one together later."
I had taken a step back, and now I found myself against the hall wall. Not used to being the submissive one, I was stunned to be manipulated like this, and now Sean was grabbing my wrist and yanking my hand back up against the wall.
"Grr," Sean seemed to say from under my arm where he had buried his face, and as the lad licked at chewed under my arm he was making the damp jungle even wetter, even though to my shame I could smell the musk that was being stirred up by Sean's oral assault on my armpit
I could also feel his cock against my thigh, and it felt hard as steel.
"You want me?" I asked, grabbing a handful of hair from the back of his head to pull his flushed face out of my armpit, and after he nodded I led him away from my son's bedroom and down to my own, when my unmade bed was waiting.
