I wrote an intro story about Champion last fall. This is a continuation to that story. Should you wish to read the first story, you may find it in my Works under simply Champion.
It didn't take long for Champion to find that contestant for an MMF and he set up a drinks date for the three of us in a small town midway between ours and his. It was an old school, frontier-themed establishment with lots of dark wood and Prohibition cocktails. I felt it was a perfect venue for alternative dates and sex conversations.
If you are not familiar with the term 'Otter,' it refers to a hairy gay man that has an athletic or slimmer build than a 'Bear,' which describes a larger, hairy gay man.
Champion found us an Otter.
He was in his late 30s, married and helping to raise a daughter from his husband's previous relationship. Seemed to live a taken-care-of lifestyle as a teacher and husband to a high-powered PR exec. Tall, more on the muscular side of otter with an amazingly wide smile, great sense of humor and all that yummy chest hair I could see saying hello to me at the top of his button-down shirt.
Once at the bar, I sat in the middle. Champion was equally excited and nervous about taking this big first step on this particular item from his sex to-do list. Putting me between him and Otter created a safe, defensible space should he have some crazy freak out and need to run or bike away quickly.
Thankfully though we all hit it off immediately. Great, easy conversation about work, life, our primary relationships. I thought Otter was incredibly charming and super cute. I just hope Champion was thinking the same thing.
After 2-3 drinks and a few apps, they were both moving closer to me. Otter crossed his leg and his knee just barely rested up against the bottom of my right thigh. On the other side, Champion's foot was playing a slow game of footsie with mine.
Then, Otter asked the question on everyone's mind.
"So what do we think about a second date?"
I was an enthusiastic two-thumbs up so replied first - positively, but cautiously because I didn't want to make Champion feel uncomfortable if he was a no deal.
"Yeah, I'd like to too," was Champion's response given with a little nervous smile.
Then we got to the good parts as I'm sure anyone nearby who overheard would agree - the how, what, when, and where of a second date.
Schedules would be the challenge with both of them having kids, but we decided to get a hotel room in another nearby town one late afternoon. The guys would split the charges and I'd bring some libations and snacks.
