Joseph had already started work in the empty house that he was renovating with the help of his apprentice Tom. After some time had elapsed, the sharp rattle of the door catch echoed throughout the hollow building, followed by the clomp of Tom's boots as he made his way across the bare dusty boards, towards where Joseph was busy connecting a water pipe in a cupboard beneath the sink.
Joseph was quite tall and without trying, his work kept him in good shape, he had a natural lived-in look, appearing much more comfortable in his skin than any body builder. He was approaching middle age and had little to look forward to in his life, he often felt lonely as his marriage had ended some time ago. He and Tom had been working together for a couple of months, since around the time Tom turned 18. Something that brought light into Joseph's empty life were Tom's twinkling green eyes and his bright youthful smile, a smile that had yet to be tarnished by the real hardships of life. Joseph remembered a time when he too had such a smile, a smile that belonged to the sunny, optimistic, carefree days of his youth.
Tom was still a little nervous around Joseph, not being sure of his developing abilities and how well he was doing in his work. His bright smile was partly illuminated by a willingness to please and a growing admiration for Joseph, both as a man and mentor. Joseph was kind yet firm, which seemed to fulfil a need in Tom, a need that his father had failed to meet through being absent in his life - he had fucked off before Tom was even born.
Joseph looked out from behind the pipes in the cupboard and got his morning fix in Tom's pretty face, which was peering from beneath a shock of blond bed-head hair, looking more disheveled than usual through him just having rushed from home. Joseph couldn't help noticing the glint of Tom's fly zip which had remained undone in the hurry. "You've remembered it's work today then young'n" said Joseph with a note of warmth in his sarcasm. They both felt aware of a warm emotional connection that neither dare express. His growing warmth and affection for the lad made it difficult for him to be harsh, he had some paternal feelings and a real soft spot for Tom.
"I turned over thinking it was Saturday, then my mum came in pulling my covers off, telling me to get my ass out of bed for work". A slight feeling of excitement began to stir in Joseph, which held him back from telling Tom that his zip was open. He looked into the lads beautiful eyes, giving him an understanding smile.
"Give us a hand under here mate, I need you to hold this coupling while I tighten it". Something that went unspoken between them, was a liking for these jobs that called for the two to work up against each other. They both had a feeling that each enjoyed this closeness, yet both pretended not to notice. As they grew more used to each other, Tom started liking the musky scent of Joseph's body, which today was particularly noticeable as he had worn the same washed-up shirt for a couple of days.
As they lay against each other in a contorted position under the sink, Tom felt the warm glow of Joseph's powerful manly body, which was having a magical effect on him. Joseph loves how alive he feels on these occasions, his heart rejoices when Tom's slim, toned body is up against his and that handsome youthful face is close enough to give a forbidden kiss.
This situation became increasingly difficult for Tom as in the rush he had missed having his usual morning shower and wank, leaving him more alive than ever to Joseph's closeness. Tom liked it when Joseph wore this old shirt as it had shrunk to reveal, in certain situations, the black hair that rose from below his belt to his naval, over his flat stomach and up across his solid muscular chest. Occasionally Tom caught sight of the top of Joseph's thick bush, which was such a sexy turn-on!
Tom desperately tried to control his dick, which started to go stiff, but he just couldn't let go of the coupling to adjust himself. When Joseph looked round reaching for his wrench, he noticed that a few of Tom's soft blond hairs were protruding from his open fly and he saw an outline of the lads cock. Both were trying to conceal how much they were being turned on by the other and neither knew what to do with their feelings.
Then in seconds the tension was broken as fate stepped in with Joseph's wrench slipping, the coupling parted and a pipe burst causing water to gush out soaking them both. They eventually managed to stop the water and pulled themselves free from the cupboard, both stood laughing together like a pair of kids in a paddling pool. This distraction took Tom's mind off his erection, which was now clearly visible through his soaked jeans. Seeing this intensified Joseph's excitement and as they were the only workmen in the building on this warm summer day, he said, "we'd better take our wet clothes off and hang them on the ladders to dry".
Somehow the water had changed things, it brought a new shared closeness and gave them an easy excuse to get naked, well almost naked, they both stripped down to their damp underwear. Having seen Joseph laugh like a child had relaxed Tom and given him new confidence. He stood there in a shaft of sunlight looking like a wingless angel, except for his hard young dick which stuck up like a tent pole in his wet candy striped boxer shorts. Joseph pointed to it, thinking he was concealing his excitement with laughter, but Tom noticed the contour of Joseph's stiffening cock as he stood there in his wet Y fronts.
Tom compared his much nimbler youthful body and fluffy blond bush with Joseph's muscular figure that looked amazing in the clear light. His dark body hair contrasting with those white saggy underpants, which couldn't wholly contain Joseph's large loose hairy balls, one of which was hanging out. This hot sight had Tom's smooth dick throbbing harder than ever.
