Beginning the Journey: Part 1
NOTE:
This is the first of a series of stories that I have ghostwritten for a Literotica friend and fan. He provided me with the basic outline, and I have embellished and extended these personal experiences. I hope that I have done them justice.

Charles knew he was different, sexually, when he was suffering through high school. While he dated women, something did not sit right internally. He found it odd that his feelings warmed gazing at certain football team members and in one particular player.
Michael, two years older, was remarkably handsome, athletic, academically gifted and successful. Oddly, while the women swooned over Michael, and he could have the pick of the litter, Charles sensed that Michael was uninterested. Many nights, Charles would dwell on Michael's image with growing arousal. With sexual confusion reigning and thinking Michael unapproachable, let alone obtainable, Charles kept his thoughts to himself.
Fast forward several years, and Charles continued to struggle with his sexuality. He found female company and the sex that occasionally followed somewhat unsatisfying. Not that women did not have their charms or have a place in his life, but Charles was noticing men more and began wondering about gay sex. He watched a wide selection of gay and bisexual porn and found elements to enjoy in both genres.
The question was how to meet gay and bisexual men?
Charles also considered the
type
of man he wanted to meet. With a working understanding of gay sex, there were some types that he did not want to meet. Large, bearded and heavily tattooed 'bears' were not attractive to Charles, nor were 'twinks'. Instead, he favoured straight-up manly types, much like himself and willing to guide Charles through his 'journey' as he labelled his desire.
Considering that Charles enjoyed a career in commercial property management, he was financially comfortable, worked out regularly, dressed in fashionable suits and drove a late model car. Overall, Charles had much going for him, but he remained socially awkward and found procuring 'dates' difficult, and that was with women. Finding a like-minded male that was attractive, mentally and physically, was a challenge.
Charles tried the online dating scene, and while there were possibilities and several meetings, he struggled to take the 'plunge'. For months, this went on, with Charles beginning to despair at finding a man he could trust and fulfil a growing number of fantasies.
All that changed one Monday when Charles clocked into the office. While checking his emails, one message from the sales staff concerned a potential lead seeking to rent commercial space. There was a female name and phone number to call. As Charles was partially remunerated by converting leads into leases, he jumped on the phone immediately.
"IDD Industries, Stacey speaking," Answered the dead voice at the other end.
"Good morning; my name is Charles from East Side Commercial. I'm returning a call from Jane Vukovic."
"Transferring now."
"This is Jane."
Charles and Jane spoke for maybe ten minutes, with the former taking notes and suggesting some properties that may meet the company's needs.
"I'll pass on these property details to the managing director and get back to you," Said Jane and there the conversation concluded.
The next day, Jane emailed Charles seeking times to view two properties. When mutually agreed, Jane advised Charles that the managing director will meet them onsite.
At the appointed time, Charles unlocked the first property, disarmed the alarm and switched on the lights. Waiting in the reception room, he watched as a silver Mercedes C-Class slowly approached a car park next to Charles's car. A well-dressed man emerged from the drivers' side and a pretty blonde from the passenger.
"Jane?" Asked Charles, "Nice to meet you."
Nice to meet you too," Smiled Jane, "This is Michael Ardent, our managing director."
The blood in Charles' veins froze. This was THE Michael from high school who was the object of a partially understood sexually crush. Damn, he looked good, thought Charles appreciably, before realising there was an awkward silence.
"Welcome, Michael, nice to meet you," Stammered the embarrassed property manager while business cards were exchanged.
Michael showed no recognition of Charles but was keen to inspect the property. The threesome minutely inspected every inch of the building with Charles' knowledge put to the test for the next hour. Jane took notes and photographs.
"Yeah, this could work for us," Michael concluded, "Let's check out the second property, shall we?"
"I'll meet you there," Said Charles before securing the property.
About twenty minutes later, Charles met Michael and Jane at the second property, and the same detailed inspection occurred.
"Thanks for that, Charles," Smiled Michael shaking hands, "We'll consider which property works best for us and get back to you."
"Sounds good," Stammered Charles, "Any questions at all, call me anytime."
Charles removed his suit jacket and realised that his underarms were dripping in a nervous sweat. He was not nervous because of the sales pitch but the adrenaline from meeting Michael, who oozed sex appeal.
Sitting in the car, Charles relived the meeting and found his cock stir in his pants as he recalled Michael's gorgeous face and solid physique. Racing back to the office, he locked himself in the toilet cubicle, whipped his cock out and enjoyed an explosive orgasm imagining Michael's naked form.
Several hours later, with Charles starring languidly out of the window utterly uninterested in work, he jumped when his phone suddenly buzzed.
"Good afternoon, Charles speaking."
"Charles? It's Michael from IDD Industries."
"Hi Michael," Squeaked Charles, pulse racing, "Good to hear from you."
