What follows is a true story about my first time at age 18, which due to youth and confusion, was unusually short and largely uneventful. Then the story continues, rewriting the true ending for a fantasy ending that I wish would have happened.
He ran a bar in a dark corner of a dated strip mall on Long Island that was clean enough, but also old in the way that the Chinese takeout place three doors down had become a greasy late night staple for decades, and no one could remember what was in other storefronts before the dry cleaners, pizzeria and hair salon. The main bartender and bar owner's name was Rickie, but I've long since forgotten the name of the bar itself. It was no dive, just a typical small local bar, not a wannabe Irish or English pub, a typical American joint that didn't try too hard, with a dart board, tables, round center bar, bathrooms and just past the jukebox, a storage room where Rickie kept a desk among the boxes stacked on racks to the ceiling. The lights were dim but not overly so, and except on weekend nights, the noise was low enough to carry on a private conversation. My friends and I would frequent the place our senior year in high school, as Rickie was an "easy ID", and this was when the drinking age was still 18 in New York. He didn't card as long as he knew you or someone in your group was of age.
Rickie was about 30, give or take a couple years. 5'10, a slim but fit build, and a neatly trimmed beard of thick stubble. He had olive skin, maybe some Greek in him. He had a fiance that I saw a few times, an attractive blonde his same height with long hair and a tight ass and firm breasts. She never stayed long when she popped in.
I had heard in my group of friends that Rickie had sucked a classmate and another rumor that he had kissed the forehead of one of the guys in my friend group while making a pass. My friend never spoke of it, but others had. I gave it no thought, rumors are rumors and to me, Rickie was a just a nice guy.
One evening, one of his part-time bartenders came in with a box of polo shirts branded with the bar's name. Rickie was going to have all his employees (there were few, mostly part-timers for on weekend crowds) wear them when working. I was sitting at the bar with friends, and his back was toward me. When I saw he was going to try one on by stripping to the waist right there, I found myself feigning interest in the shirts and repositioned myself to get a glance at his chest. As he peeled off the shirt he was wearing, he caught my eye looking at his his defined abs and Apollo belt, and his pecs, all covered by a soft layer of fur more sparse than I had anticipated but still a nice accent to his torso. I was embarrassed to be caught looking, but assumed it would be quickly forgotten. It was a busy night. He got back to slinging drinks and I returned to my friends.
One afternoon a few days later, I got off work as a coach for a local Y and had no where particular to be so I innocently stopped at the bar to grab a beer and shoot the shit with Rickie. Turns out the place was empty at that time except for him and me. I ordered a beer, but he "kindly" upgraded it to a strong whiskey sour (the only hard alcohol my 18 year old taste buds could manage) and I started talking about a recent split with a girlfriend. He walked around the seating area and wiped tables as I explained about how my leaving soon for college was impacting her.
"How's the sex?" he asked.
"It's fine," I lied. She was a good Catholic girl, in the way that Catholic school girls are hot, so a constant if unintentional tease, and I was as horny as, well, an 18 year old.
"So everything works down there," he responded, motioning toward my crotch.
I laughed awkwardly. "Yeah, no issues."
From across the room, he stopped cleaning momentarily and asked, "Can I see it?"
Now two strong sours deep, I answered confidently, "Be careful what you wish for, I like being naked." Which was true, I stripped at nearly every opportunity and was often naked at home. I was a bit of a skinny twink at this time (I later developed into a slim otter) so it wasn't an abundance of body confidence driving me, but again, just that teenage libido. I pulled down my jock and track pants and flashed him.
"Looks good" he said admiringly of my 6" cock, surrounded by a thick patch of teenage pubic hair.
We made more small talk as he made his way around the bar to where I was sitting. "Can I touch it?" he suddenly asked.
I now knew the rumors were true and moreover, I was now out of my depth. Shocked and confused, I just sort of went along. "Yeah, I guess so." He reached into my jock and stroked my shaft, which came to attention quickly. Rickie looked me in the eyes and smiled.
"It gets hard fast, that's good." He released his grip and left my erection peeking up out of my track pants, now caught sticking up between my belly and the jock's wide elastic, with abundant public hair and treasure trail peeking above my waistline. The bar was still empty but anyone near me would have gotten quite an eye full. Did he know I would be a willing mark, based on my glance at his chest days earlier? Did I know it?
