I went to college out of state, then worked abroad for two years, so when I returned home at 25 to get my bearings again I was mostly friendless and bored in the city where my parents lived. Occasionally I'd go out with old acquaintances or friends from high school but I had changed a lot since I was 18, so most of those connections slowly faded. I looked half-heartedly for jobs, but knowing I would probably be going back abroad soon enough I ended up spending a lot of time at home, reading, watching movies, and generally just puttering around. Both my parents worked long days, so I soon became comfortable in the house and neighborhood aloneβI knew which neighbors had kids small enough for playdates, which people had kids gone off to college, which people stayed home all day. It was a little world of regularity which was nice to settle down in for a while.
One of the people I noticed most was an early-fifties man who lived caddy-corner to my parents' own backyard, the back of his house viewable from my upstairs room. He always seemed to be at home reading, writing on the computer, or working outside around his pool. His name was David and he seemed kind and intelligent, so occasionally we'd exchange pleasantries over the fence. As spring matured I noticed him outside more often, reading in a lawn chair in a pair of swim trunks. When he lay out there like that I often found myself watching him from my window, impressed at the robustness of his body and the strength of his legsβhe clearly valued fitness. One particularly warm day he invited me over for a dip and I accepted, both for the relief from the heat and the possibility of some social interaction. The swim was nice and afterwards we had a long and engaging talk about my travels and his writing, I headed back over to my house in the early evening with the feeling of excitement you get after meeting someone interesting.
That night as I lay in bed I found myself still thinking about my talk with David, but also at a strange attraction I felt towards him. I couldn't stop picturing him lying on the lawn chair next to me in full repose. When he last got out of the pool I noticed the water running off the hair of his tanned chest and down over his healthy belly, his entire physique gave off an aura of vigor. I had no experience with men but had always secretly fantasized, and it was undeniable that David was attracting me as he kept popping into my head as I masturbated that night. My orgasm, enhanced by this new idea, was incredible.
