A Friday in June at 4 o'clock sees me riding the Harley Davidson to the home of Alton Cresley, the 52 year old whom I had seen for the very first time in a courtyard. I had just come out of the pool after a nude swim.
Other men were lying naked in chaise lounges that afternoon, many of whom had been in the courtyard on previous days. Hidden desires for some man on man sex had made my eyes wander and my imagination go crazy.
I had just turned 25. So what if the strong attraction to this much older man should not happen. I don't give a crap what others think. The pheromones were flying even as Alton and I were becoming acquainted.
Although out to my family since age 17, I had not yet mentioned anything about this crush on Alton. My parents Jack and Alicia Sherman had come to know my ex boyfriend Jerry Kent very well during the time that he and I were together.
Jerry and I became friends in September during our senior year and very soon afterward became lovers. I hated to see him go off to enlist in the navy.
Alton is a brawny hunk. He has a toned physique, brown eyes, semi-full lips and a square face. His gray hair betrays his age but so what.
Unlike him, I am lean. At 5 5 my eyes are a couple of inches below his eyes.
I came to the address given, a house having stone veneer. Leaving the bike at the curb, I strolled to the front door. A few seconds elapsed.
"Come in. I'm glad you could make it."
"Me too,"
"Care for a beer?"
"Love one."
On that note I went out to the deck and lay in a chaise lounge. Alton came outside with two cold bottles of Sam Adams Boston Lager, a beer that I told him is a favorite.
Deciduous trees provided shade for parts of the lawn. A hammock far from the house caught my eye. Closer to the boundary there was a tool shed.
I took that first gulp of beer then made an observation.
"That tree way out by the fence is dead."
"It is. I'm having a service come out Tuesday. They're taking it out, that one and a couple of others."
"My dad had trees taken down like 4 years ago."
"Do you live with your parents?"
"I have an apartment."
I took another gulp of my beer as did Alton.
"What do you do for work?"
"Radiology, I'm an X ray tech. What do you do?"
"I'm an accountant with Raytheon. I started there 22 years ago."
By now my eyes started roaming his body. The desire to indulge in sex was growing. Can I hold out much longer? I really need to get him out of his briefs.
I was about to realize the advantage of living on my own. The sun moved slowly in the sky while Alton and I were chatting.
I dragged the chair closer to him then, with the chair legs just inches away, I took his hand. Our heads turned at the same time letting our eyes meet.
