Mike checked his phone again for the 5th time to make sure he was on the right road. Confident he was heading the right way, he put it back into his pocket and continued down the road. He was heading to his Airbnb booking, where he was due to meet Pavel to pick up the keys.
Mike was in Bratislava for the ice hockey, two weeks of following the GB hockey team through what he expected to be a series of crushing defeats. To save money he'd shunned the hotels, and instead, had got lucky with a one-bedroom apartment on the edge of town for a reasonable price. The place had been nice for what he was getting, but his eye had been drawn to the host.
Pavel's profile had caught his attention, the face tanned and smiling, the short, almost shaved, brown hair sat atop of brown eyes that Mike could easily fall into. Several times between booking and now he'd found himself drifting into a daydream of him and Pavel, wondering what the rest of him would be like.
Back in the present he turned a corner, and checking his phone realised he was there. A figure stepped out from a doorway further down the road, and turned towards him.
"Mike?" the figure asked in accented, but good English.
"Yes, Pavel?" Mike replied, thrilled at seeing the face in the flesh for the first time. Pavel took his hand in a strong grip, as Mike took the rest of him in. Pavel was tall, probably nearly 6 feet tall, and looked to be in good shape. He had a black leather jacket, open to the t-shirt below, and Mike could make out no excess belly.
Realising he was obviously checking the guy out, he quickly let go of Pavel's hand and stepped back.
"This way," Pavel said, leading them to the main apartment building door. After showing him the code to get into the building, he led Mike up three flights of stairs, making small talk about his journey as they climbed the stairs.
Stopping at a doorway, Pavel fumbled with the keys, struggling to open the door. Standing behind him, Mike carefully checked out the long jean clad legs, leading up to a tight ass. He removed his eyes as he heard the door open, and followed Pavel inside.
The flat was a small, but very pleasant flat, and Pavel showed him round to the bedroom, the bathroom and kitchen, before finishing the tour in the living room. Handing him a set of keys, he set out the ground rules.
"I guess you're here for the ice hockey?" he questioned, and carried on after a nod from Mike. "So this is a residential block, so there are a lot of families around, so no bringing the girls around for a late night party!" he joked.
"There's no danger of that," Mike laughed, and after a second Pavel caught on. A look Mike didn't miss seemed to pass through his eyes, and he seemed to be looking at Mike in a new light.
"Well, the same still applies, no bringing the boys back for a late-night party," Pavel said, his eyes lingering over Mike's body.
Mike smiled to himself; glad he kept in good shape. He was slightly short than Pavel, but lots of outdoor sports had given him a tanned weathered complexion, and whilst he didn't have a six pack, there wasn't much fat on him either. He decided to see how he could push this.
