The recession hit our town especially hard. The layoffs of 2,000 people at the biggest factory in town had a boomerang effect: everyday Mom & Pop stores on Main Street began closing because of fewer shoppers; larger stores laid-off or reduced hours for their workers for the same reason. The county government felt the shortfall in tax revenue and also laid-off workers. I was 22 years-old and got caught up in this. I was laid-off, too.
The chances of finding another job in town were slim and none. I had a high school diploma but no college. Guys like me were everywhere. I competed with college graduates for janitorial jobs. I knew what had to be done: I had to get out town before I blew through all my savings.
I moved to the city and found a place to live. I discovered the economy wasn't much better there. I settled for a job at a convenience store because it was within walking distance, and I figured I'd find something better after I had more time to look. Unfortunately, I worked the day shift 9 to 5:30 and had little time to look for anything else.
I liked my apartment though. It was on the first floor of an old house. It had a living room/kitchen, a bathroom, and a small bedroom. It was perfect for me. I didn't need anything larger. I never had friends over β I didn't have any. I didn't know anyone in the city, and the people I worked with were older, and just wanted to go home after work.
That was fine with me. I spent my free time browsing the internet on my laptop, or I'd watch a ballgame on television.
Anyway, I was on my laptop one night at the small table in my bedroom when I thought I heard a noise. I couldn't identify it but it seemed to be coming from the house next door. I pushed the side of the curtain open just far enough to look out. The house was only a few feet from my window, and the drapes on the window opposite mine were open. In the two weeks I'd lived there, I'd never seen them open.
Straight across from me was a loveseat. Next to that was a large mirror, and in the mirror I could clearly see a large bed, Queen-sized? King? I didn't know, but I it was obvious that I was looking into my neighbor's bedroom.
Suddenly, from the right (from the living room, maybe?) a man came into view. I recognized him as my neighbor. I went to my knees figuring he wouldn't be able to see me that way.
He was wearing a robe, and he held a thick leather belt in his right hand while his left hand was still out of my sight. Then, I saw his left hand entangled in someone's hair. He was dragging someone by the hair. Then I saw the person who was being dragged, it was a boy, around my age and he was naked. The man was dragging a naked boy along the carpet by his hair!
Just before the man was about to sit on the loveseat, he took off his robe and threw it on the floor beside the bed. Now he was naked, too. I couldn't help but look at the erect penis bobbing before him. It had to be seven inches long. I'd never seen anything like that.
The man sat on the loveseat and pulled the boy up by his hair, grabbed him by the neck, then pulled him face down across his lap. Then he raised the belt high in the air and brought it viciously down on the boy's bare bottom. The boy's cry of pain was muted by the window panes separating us.
I was afraid β what should I do? I wondered.
I watched helplessly as the man belt-whipped the naked boy over-and-over again. I felt myself tremble and shake. I wanted to run over there and stop the merciless beating but I was frozen with fear. I saw the boy's face contorting in pain β his mouth open wide, screaming in vain. All I could do was watch. I felt so ashamed!
My neighbor threw down the belt and pushed the boy to the floor. He sat back in the seat and opened his legs. The boy slowly rose to his knees. I watched in amazement as the beaten boy took hold of the man's hard cock and lowered his mouth over the purple cockhead. The boy sucked my neighbors cock.
I was stunned β I was confused.
The boy's head bobbed up and down on the man's enormous shaft. I couldn't tear my eyes away. I was mesmerized by the sucking. Suddenly, the man grabbed the boy's ears and began thrusting his hips and forcing his cock deeper into the boy's mouth. I saw the man's body stiffen then jerk wildly. I guessed he was cumming in the boy's mouth. Then the man relaxed and sat back. The boy's hand held the shrinking penis and he appeared to be licking it clean.
My neighbor stood up and went to the window. He closed the drapes.
Oh my God! What was that about? I wondered.
I was tired and decided to go to bed. I shut off the lights, stripped to my boxers, then climbed into bed. I couldn't sleep. The scene replayed itself in my mind over and over.
My penis became hard β again. My penis was hard when I watched it the first time. I pulled my shorts down and played with myself. My penis-head was still slick with the earlier pre-cum. I stroked my cock faster-and-faster β it felt sooo good!
It was one of my better orgasms! I fell asleep.
In the morning, before I left for work, I peeked out the side of my curtain: his drapes were still closed. I frowned at myself and wondered why I even looked.
His house was on my way to work so I passed it twice a day. I'd never really looked at it before. A small house with a screened-in front porch; it was well kept and had a new paint job. I once saw my neighbor watering the bushes, but I didn't remember much about him until last night.
I guessed him to be forty-five or fifty, with black hair, about four inches taller than me and fifty pounds heavier. Not fat, either. He was in good shape. He had a handsome face, too. I would never have guessed he liked boys.
I was glad when I got to work so my mind would be occupied with something else.
Quitting time came and I walked home. I slowed my pace as I approached his house. I tried not to be obvious as I snuck glances at the house. When I went up the sidewalk to my place I looked between the houses. The window I guessed to be his bedroom was far enough to the rear that you couldn't see it from where I was standing. I quickly figured that his bedroom window was visible only to my window.
I went inside and changed clothes. I fought the urge to see if his drapes were open. That didn't last long. I took a quick peek: they were open, but the room was dark.
I ate dinner debating with myself what I should do. What kind of guy am I? I asked myself. A peeping Tom β a voyeur β a pervert? I invaded the privacy of two consenting adults, although I wasn't sure about the 'consenting' part. Why in the world did two guys having sex fascinate me? I'm not homosexual β I never even thought about it before! I couldn't get it out of my mind.
After dinner I went to my bedroom and fired-up my laptop. While it was booting, I snuck a quick peek: the drapes were open and the light was still off. I devised a make-shift hook that held a small portion of my curtain open, enough so I'd be able to see if his bedroom light came on. I guess this was an admission on my part that I wanted to watch.
