The Seduction

A pair of deeply tanned muscular calves was my first view of Jeff. When he walked up, I was lying on my back under my SUV, changing the oil.
"Hello," he said in his mellow masculine voice.
"Hello, yourself," I answered, "what can I do for you?"
"I'm new in town. My wife and I just moved in across the street. I saw you working on your car. I need to hook up a used washer and dryer and wondered if I could borrow some tools?"
I crawled out from under the car and looked up at him, quickly scanning his body. He was an Adonis! He had a barrel chest and chiseled arms to go with the athletic legs. I would learn later that he worked out regularly though he wasn't a bodybuilder. All of it topped off with a face and smile that could melt my heart.
I love men. I mean, I REALLY love men. At least once a day, I fall head over heels in love with some gorgeous man I see. And it had just happened again.
"I'm DeAndre," I said, thrusting my hand out.
"Jeff," He smiled, taking my hand and pumping it.
There was a brief uneasy pause as though Jeff had sensed the unspoken thoughts going through my head. It was probably my penchant for falling in lust with straight guys. There was something about men who were very relaxed about their bodies, not always posturing or trying to make them look their best. I guess it was that casually obscene way that they are attractive.
It was a struggle, but I shook off my lustful thoughts.
"What do you need," I asked, indicating my well-stocked tool chest
"I'm not sure," he said hesitantly, scanning my array of tools.
"Look, neighbor, maybe I could help?"
I was proud that I had never been at the mercy of a repairman.
An hour later, we stood around his installed washer and dryer, congratulating ourselves on a well-done job over a beer. We talked some, but Jeff seemed guarded. I figured it was time to go. Sometimes guys sense I'm gay, and their defenses pop up.
"Thanks for the beer! I need to get back to the oil change on my car."
I went home, finished the oil change, and packed up my tools.
There's always that chance that I could have this guy too. But, the seduction of a married straight neighbor is a delicate matter. I had to live in this neighborhood, and I didn't want to mess up the relationship with my new neighbors.
I saw Jeff the following day in his yard doing some cleaning up. He wore just a pair of running shorts, and I saw that his body was much better than I had first seen. He looked beautiful in the sun, his golden-tanned body gleaming with health and vitality.
I wanted to walk over there, take him in my arms, and make love to him in the sunshine and the warm afternoon air. It would be an act of raw physical poetry.
Jeff saw me standing there and waved. I waved back to him and smiled. God, if he only knew what I was thinking. He'd either run in the house and put on more clothes or walk over to my place and offer to let me suck his cock.
I met his wife, Janet, the next day. She was the twenty-first-century version of June Cleaver from the old Leave It To Beaver television show. She was wholesome and looked the perfect little wife in her jeans, cross trainers and Mickey Mouse sweatshirt instead of pearls and high heels. Jeff was at work, and I was out walking my dog.
"Hi," I'm Janet, Jeff's wife. Thank you for helping him hook up the washer and dryer."
"Not a problem! Glad I could help!"
"Are you married," Janet asked?
"Once! But it didn't work out!"
I left out that his name was Steve, and his ass looked better in jeans than hers ever would.
Jeff came by one afternoon a few days later while I was watching PBS's Sunday lineup of cooking shows and murder mysteries. He tapped at the screen door, startling me as I lay there in jersey workout shorts and a t-shirt.
"Come in!"
"Hi! Janet told me to thank you again for your help."
"Not a problem! Would you like a beer?'
"I'd love one!"
I went to fetch his beer and a fresh one for myself. When I came back, he was sitting on my futon couch. I took the chair facing it, curling my leg under myself so my balls wouldn't hang out of my shorts. I didn't want to scare him off this early in the game.
He took a long swallow of the beer. I watched lovingly as his Adam's apple bobbed under the bronzed skin of his neck as his head tilted back. He uttered a sigh as he rested the beer on his leg. He wore a faded yellow t-shirt and some old, very comfortable-looking faded blue jeans. The jeans had that worn area around the crotch from long use that always looks like someone's been rubbing that patch of material for years
"I thought I might stop by and watch the big game with you."
"I'm not into sports," I replied, sipping my beer.
"Really! You look like that Black guy in the Old Spice commercials!"
"When you live in LA, working out comes with the territory," I chuckled.
He laughed with me. Then there were a few moments when he seemed uncomfortable.
"Let me give you the grand tour of my place," I offered, hoping to make him feel at ease.
I wondered what he'd say if he noticed the pictures of near-naked men on my fridge and the Colt calendar on my office wall.
I showed him through the kitchen and quickly through the bedroom and office. He seemed not to note the pictures.
"Nice digs for a bachelor," he commented
"All of us bachelors don't feel it necessary to leave underwear, socks, and dirty dishes strewn about," I said. "Besides, I cleaned the whole house earlier this morning."
He and I both laughed at that. Then I showed him the backyard and the deck I'd built with the large Jacuzzi in the middle of it.
He liked the Jacuzzi,
"Wow! I've never seen one that big!"
"I like big things," I said slyly.
He either didn't hear my double entendre or pretended not to.
"I use it a lot late at night. It relaxes me and helps me sleep. You're welcome to come by some night and use it!"
I made no mention that I'd prefer it to be only him and not Janet. I'm situationally bisexual. I would fuck women as part of a threesome if I got to fuck or be fucked by the male.
I got him another beer as we passed back inside through the kitchen.
"Janet mentioned that you married and divorced. It's none of my business but was it a rough breakup?"
"No, we are still speaking and are on friendly terms.
I was treading on thin ice now. Soon I'd either have to lie or spill the beans about Steve.
"I don't think my wife twigged to you being queer," Jeff said, shocking me that he picked up my gay vibe.
I hate that term, especially when someone thinks it's the right thing to call me. I didn't know what to say immediately. I think he was even more embarrassed than waiting for me to answer.
"I'd rather you say gay! But I agree with you about your wife. I'm glad it's out in the open, at least with you. I don't particularly appreciate pretending."
Jeff smiled broadly, obviously glad I hadn't gotten upset at his statement.
I thought it would be tricky figuring out how to come out to him, but he had done it for me. I wondered if he was curious, bold, or a little of both.
I didn't get to explore it with him because he had to run. He'd come over to invite me to a housewarming/barbecue he and Janet were throwing.
Unfortunately, I had to decline cause I had a date to meet friends at a beach party. But I was curious. Jeff was friendly and at ease with me being gay. That is highly unusual for a straight man, especially from some small Ohio town like he and his wife were.
I saw Jeff sitting on his porch a few days later as I drove up from dinner. It was about 10 PM.
"Hey, neighbor! Why don't you and Janet come over and use the Jacuzzi with me? If you indulge, I've got a chilled bottle of Chablis in the fridge and some kick-ass reefer."
"I'll check with my wife," he said.
"Sounds like a plan! Come on around the side of the house if you decide to come. I'll be out in the back."
I was as anxious as a kid at Christmas, wondering if they'd accept my offer and I'd get that big gorgeous juicy man in my hot tub. If he brought his wife, so be it! I prefer men, but I'm situationally bisexual with women. I'm in if I have to eat pussy to suck a dick!
About 20 minutes later, the side gate opened. I tried not to turn and look as I sat in the Jacuzzi immediately. Whether or not Jeff brought his wife would set the tone for the evening. I heard a hello from Jeff and turned. He was alone and wearing a white t-shirt and some blue swim shorts.
"Where's Janet?"
"She didn't feel up to it and asked for a rain check."
He set his towel on the table. I pointed to a small beer cooler, a Chablis bottle in the chiller, and a dish of high THC gummies.
"Pick your poison," I said.
I watched as he popped a gummie, opened a beer, and removed his shirt.
I saw those glorious pecs again with those beautiful, generous nipples stretched taut across them. My cock twitched in my baggy shorts. I'd almost worn a speedo but figured I didn't want my obvious erection to show when he got here.
He lowered himself into the Jacuzzi opposite me, wincing as he got used to the water. At last, he was sitting across from me, his arms outstretched and lying on the decking, his head thrown back in decadent enjoyment of my hot tub.
