It was early on a Tuesday morning and I was packing for my weekly travel assignment. I live outside Nashville. My job requires me to travel to Detroit regularly to meet with clients.
I try to do it every other week, leaving Tuesday and coming home Friday. This gives me a nice long weekend away from work. My wife hates when I'm gone, but once I'm back I think she realizes the time away from each other is nice.
My name is Mark. I'm 45 years old. I've been married for 18 years and have 2 kids, 14 and 12. My relationship is great, we get along well and like spending time together. My travel and our kids activities make sex difficult, so that is the only negative from my point of view.
When I finally finished packing, I kissed my wife good bye and left for the airport. I landed in Detroit in the afternoon, picked up my car, and drove to my hotel. I was staying at a new place I had never been before. I used to stay close to my main client, but I picked up some new business so chose a place in between them.
On my drive to the hotel, I stopped at a liquor store for a 12-pack and figured I would get carry out from a local restaurant for dinner. The hotel was nice and there was a sports bar right next door, so I was really happy with my choice. I decided to clean myself up, have a beer, and walk next door for dinner rather then stay in.
The bar was new and there were TVs everywhere. Being a Tuesday night, it wasn't very busy. There was a stool in the middle of bar that was calling my name. I ordered a pint and a burger and started watching TV, while checking out the crowd.
Unfortunately, my conversation choices were limited. As the night went on, the crowd got thinner. Good thing was they had 2 bartenders with nothing to do, except wait on me.
"Not from around here, are you?" the one bartender says to me.
"No, Tennessee. What gave me away?"
"The fact your still here on Tuesday. This place usually clears out, except the occassional traveler staying at the hotel."
I gave a laugh, "guilty, I'm here on business. My name is Mark."
He offers his hand to shake, "nice to meet you, I'm Paul."
"I like this place, is it new?" I asked.
"Yeah. it opened last year. We do good on the weekends and at dinner, but weekday evenings can get slow."
He acted busy behind the bar, while keeping conversation with me. We talked about sports, cars, where we grew up, and the areas we live in now. It was great, like we knew each other for years yet just met.
I shifted the conversation to more personal, "do you have any kids?"
"No, how about you?"
"Yeah, I've got two, girl 14 and a boy 12."
"Are you married?" I asked.
"No, haven't found the right one yet."
I started laughing, "I don't think I have either. I've been married so long, I don't even remember what it's like to be single."
He laughed at me and said, "That is funny, because I can't imagine being with the same person everyday."
"It can be a struggle," I continued to laugh. "We are in a routine, its like having a job."
"When your tending bar on nights and weekends, it can be tough on a relationship."
"I hear ya," I replied back. "You probably hook up with a lot of girls working here."
He bursted out laughing, "Sure, I get hit on a lot. I'm gay, so not really interested in girls. Restaurants like this aren't my scene."
"Oh shit," I gave a shocked expression. "I'm sorry, I had no idea."
Paul kept laughing, "It's cool, please don't apolgize. It kind of makes it sound bad."
"I didn't mean it like that and you are right. You just don't come across as gay."
"No problem, I get that a lot."
We sat there in silence, staring at the TV. First time we stopped talking in 30 minutes.
Paul spoke first, "Sorry, I did not mean to make you uncomfortable."
"No, I'm good. It just surprised me is all."
"I am still the same guy I was 5 minutes ago," he smiled at me.
I started laughing, "I know, I know. My reaction was wrong, I am sorry."
Paul laughed back, "you had a concerned look on your face. Can I ask what you were thinking?"
"I'm not concerned, more wondering. Were you hitting on me?"
Paul burst out laughing, "a gay guy talks to you so he must be hitting on you. If you haven't noticed, there is no one else in here to talk to. What makes you think you are my type?"
"Alright, alright. Good point," I replied back. "I should not have assumed."
We sat again in silence for a minute before Paul spoke up. "There is that look again, what are you thinking?"
"I am thinking," I quickly replied. "Don't take this the wrong way, but I am curious if you have ever been with a woman. What do you like about guys more then women?"
"No problem, ask me whatever," Paul said as he patted his chest. "I have been with women. I like women. I'm just not attracted to women."
"I get it," I said to him. "It probably goes both ways. I can get excited just from seeing a woman in a swimsuit, but nothing for a guy. You are probably opposite."
"Sort of, but I do find women attractive. Maybe I am bi, but right now I like guys. It's just a different level of attraction. Have you ever been with a guy?"
"No way, never." I jumped back. "Never even thought about it."
Paul started laughing, "take it easy. Don't knock it till you try it."
"I don't know," I laughed back. "I love women, every aspect of them."
"Yeah. I understand. I feel the same way, just about men."
"Do you like.....?" I questioned while nodding my head towards his backside. "you know, in the....."
"Anal!" Paul said out loud and started laughing. "I do, but I'm more of a top....meaning I am a giver."
I looked around, making sure no one could hear his anal shout. "I can't believe you said that so loud."
Paul was laughing harder, "no one is in here, the other bartender just left. I like sucking cock too, was that going to be your next question?"
I laughed and put my head in my hands. "I was not going to ask that, but thanks for letting me know."
"Look at this way," Paul got a serious look on his face. "Your wife gives a blowjob to make you happy, not her. Most guys will do it because they like it."
"My wife must not want to make me happy, because I have not had a blowjob in years. I don't even remember my last blowjob."
Paul smiled, "if you were gay, you might get a daily blowjob. What do you think about that?"
"Okay, I will give it some thought and on that note I should head back to my hotel room. Can I get my bill?"
Paul turned toward the register and printed out the bill. When he handed it to me he looked me in the eye and said, "you don't have to be gay to get a blowjob."
"Are you offering," I replied back as I handed him my credit card.
He runs my credit card and hands me the slip. "Sure, I will give you a blowjob. I'm locking up, we can go in the back office."
I started laughing, "I appreciate the offer, but I am not interested."
"Yes you are," Paul smiled back. "I can come to your hotel room if that makes you more comfortable."
"Haha, I don't think so. I'm married and not gay."
"You choice," Paul replied. "After this conversation, there is no way your not at least a little curious."
I gave a nod of agreement and said, "yeah, I will agree on curiousity but it's not right. I won't even be able to get hard."
"Are you doubting my skills?" Paul looked at me with his hands stretched out. "Give me your room number. I will lock up and head over in 10 minutes. If your uncomfortable, I will leave."
I smiled and shook my head in disagreement. "Have a good night." I turned towards the exit.
As I got to the door, Paul yelled out, "Last chance, I can grab some beers from the fridge"
I stopped at the door and gave it one last thought. I knew it was wrong. I should go back, jerk off, and go to bed. I turned to Paul and said, "okay, I'm in 215. I got some beer in my room." I walked out the door.
I strolled across the parking lot and entered the side entrance of my hotel. I skipped up the stairs and entered my room. What was I thinking? I just invited a guy back to my room. I grabbed a beer and paced the room. I was nervous and excited, but knew it was wrong. I peaked out the window to see if he was coming. This cannot happen. I decided to go down to the lobby and stop him from coming up.
I opened my room door and as I did, Paul was approaching. "Hey, you must be excited to see me." Without hesitation, he walked in my room.
I got immediate butterflies in stomach. I studdered out, "beer is in the fridge if you want one."
Paul grabbed a beer, "this room is nice. I've never been in this hotel before. This might be a surprise, but I don't randomly meet guys in hotel rooms."
When you walk in the hotel room, the bathroom is on the right. A wall divides the bathroom from the main area where the king size bed is located. Next to the bed is a table with two chairs and the back wall is a giant window.
Paul takes a drink of his beer and looks out the window. "Could you see me coming, is that how you knew I was here?"
