I was sweet eighteen when I managed to grab a job as an apprentice cabinet maker. There were a batch of six of us taken on by a new and revolutionary firm that designed and made furniture with a difference.
I always fancied my hand at carpentry and was keen to learn, I had a good foreman in John Hans well who said he'd show me the ropes - but not too much else I could take his job, he said with a laugh.
I grew to like John ever so much and he not only showed me the ropes with carpentry but also guided me to my true leaning in the store after work.
It was a Saturday, I had been given some overtime so the money would be handy. An hour into the morning along came John and whispered in my ear; "Meet me in the store in an hour okay?"
Just those words got me all of a dither because only the day before he had taught me the rudiments of doing it with another guy and I guess I was delighted that he wanted more of the same, especially because I thought I had been a complete flop.
It made me feel wanted after a rough upbringing and somehow John made it happen for me. Something that would have seemed repugnant to me before was wonderful and natural, and what a better guy to do it with than John.
He's twenty years my senior but still very active as I discovered and so when he asked for a repeat I was more than willing after our lovely session the day before.
But, after he said for me to see him in the store - for the hour following I was finding it difficult to concentrate on my work. Not only was I learning a brand new craft but also how to make it with John, and he was truly lovely, he had a wonderful disposition and a calm and joyful nature that I did not find it awkward at all when he showed me for the very first time how to take him by mouth.
I remember him smelling of wood chippings, and when he lowered his pants down to his knees. revealing to me a brown and pink erection, I felt quite at ease with the way he did it, no pressure just- him announcing -
"Here it is, Pete for the wanting, and you will know what it wants."
I shall always remember those words, seeing John standing there with that gorgeous stance, he did look divine and immediately I felt an ominous swelling in my groin.
I was still in a sort of trance - was this really happening, was I really tucked away in a locked store with a guy showing me his wares?
"Do you need something to kneel on, Pete?" he asked and when he placed a cushion on the floor in front of him I soon got the hint.
"You never sucked before? He asked.
"Never."
"Well that makes it all the more thrilling. Just chill and take it as it comes, I like that, want you to get used to the idea and if you are very good I will suck you later and then as we progress, perhaps more too, would you like that Pete?"
