My New Neighbor 02

I invited him to dinner on Wednesday. I made one of my favorite meals that I do well. Jim arrived at 7:00 and the table was set, the lights were low, and I gave him a big hug as he came in. We ate and Jim complimented me on the meal. As we cleaned up, I touched him often the way he had before. He seemed a little distant at first but warmed up. When we were done, I poured him another glass of wine and we sat on the couch.

"I wanted to clear the air a bit. I know you were embarrassed the other day and I want to make sure you know it's all good. I like your company. I enjoy cooking and baking together, and I hope we can continue."

Jim looked thoughtful.

"Thank you for that. I have felt awkward about it. It takes a while being in a new place and I guess I felt a little lonely and had cabin fever."

"All right. Let's put it behind us and move on," I said.

I think we both relaxed after that. When it was time for Jim to go home, we hugged, and I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

I went over to Jim's on Saturday to bake. I must have been a bit early since Jim was still working out in his home gym. I was organizing things in his kitchen when he came upstairs in just a pair of shorts. He had a great body.

"I heard you come in," Jim said. "I just needed to finish my set."

I looked at him for a moment.

"Whatever you're doing, you're doing right," I replied. "You're jacked."

Jim smiled a did a couple of muscle poses. We both laughed.

"I need a shower. I'll be right back," Jim said as he left.

Jim came back in a clean t-shirt and shorts.

"Much better," I said. I gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek. Did the hug linger a little longer than usual? Maybe.

We talked while we baked. I asked Jim about his workout routine.

"I'm impressed with your physique," I said. "You really look good."

"Thank you," Jim replied. "You can admire me anytime."

Jim was smiling but I could tell he liked the compliment.

"I'm one of those gay men who like attention to their body. I like looking good and showing off."

I just nodded.

"If you ever want to work out together we could do that," Jim said. "I used to do some personal training."

"Maybe. I like to work out, but mainly just for weight control," I replied. "I've never done it to get jacked."

"We can tailor a plan to what you like," Jim said.

We finished our baking and split up our goodies. We decided to do a workout together on Sunday. I bundled up Sunday morning and walked over to Jim's. I let myself in and took off my winter clothes went downstairs to the basement gym. Jim was just wearing shorts again and was covered in sweat.

"I just finished. Let me towel off and we will start with assessing you."

I watched Jim as he toweled off all the sweat. I think he took his time since I was watching. I stretched a bit while he finished. He didn't put a shirt on though. He stayed in his shorts.

"Let's take a look. Take off your shirt," Jim said.

I did and stood still as Jim circled me and looked at my body.

"May I touch you?" he asked.

I nodded yes and Jim felt some of my muscles and checked my range of motion. It felt odd to be examined this way. My breathing got a little ragged.

"Am I making you nervous?" Jim asked.

"I'm ok. Just not used to this."

Jim had me do some warm up stuff to get my body loose. I did what he told me while he watched. Then we went through a weight routine. Jim took notes and wrote down weights and reps on a clipboard. I was pretty wiped out by the end of the assessment. I was also feeling more nervous. Jim had been very hands on with the assessment. He corrected my form and moved me into better positions to lift. We finally finished and Jim told me to stand upright. He wanted to check out my posture. I turned around slowly and he made more notes.

"Ok. We are done. I can decide for you. You're not in bad shape but if you want to build muscle, we need to change your routine."

Jim tossed me a towel to wipe off. He watched as I did. I was pretty sure he had an erection. I tossed the towel in a hamper and impulsively gave him a hug. He definitely had an erection. He hugged me pretty tightly and I looked up at him. He looked back at me, and I licked my lips and parted my lips. Jim leaned in and kissed me. Hard and hungrily. I opened my mouth and eagerly accepted his kiss. We finally broke apart. I turned my head to the side and stayed in his arms. Jim held me and didn't say anything. When I caught my breath, I stepped back and he let me go. I could see his erection clearly and his eyes were bright.

"I'm sorry," I said. "I don't know why I did that."

Jim just looked at me waiting. I didn't know what else to say and looked at my feet.
