I was sitting with my friend, Pete, having a couple of Saturday afternoon beers in our favourite downtown sports bar, when my world changed suddenly.
"Hey, you look familiar," a gruff voice said. I turned around and saw him. My heart began beating rapidly and I felt my cheeks redden.
Back up a few months...
I'm in my late 50s, divorced for 13 years, and had always been a little bi-curious but never acted on it. I'd watched a lot of gay porn and played with toys, hoping that would suffice, but they made me hungry for the real thing. I signed up on a gay dating site, and this guy reached out to me. A big guy in his early 60s. I explained that I wanted to experiment with someone. Anyway, long story short, I ended up kneeling between his legs, giving the guy a blowjob at his home in the suburbs. During the act, he called me his little cock whore and other names until he emptied his load in me. It all felt so illicit and oddly erotic and dirty being on my knees, giving a stranger a blow job. And that was it. I figured the chances of running into him were zero. And yet, here he was.
"I, I don't think I know you," I replied, my voice shaking a bit. "Maybe I just look like someone you know."
"Your name's Ray, no?" he replied, using the fake name I had given him at the time.
"No, sorry, wrong guy."
"Really, huh?" he said. "I could have sworn I've met you. Well, my name is Duncan Reid. Nice to meet you."
He extended his hand. He knew it was me and was determined to make me uncomfortable.
"Ryan Patterson," I replied, hoping to get out of this quickly.
"Nice to meet you Ryan," he said with a big smile, before extending his hand to my friend.
"Peter Aikens," my friend said, shaking his hand.
"And what do you do for a living?" Duncan asked, apropos of nothing.
"I'm a CPA," Pete replied. "I focus a lot on real estate. Why?"
"I like to make connections, so I always ask people I meet what they do for a living," Duncan said. "In fact, I may need a CPA at some point over the next couple of months to help out with some holdings I have. Got a business card in case I need you?"
"Sure," Pete said. He grabbed his wallet, pulled one out and handed it to him.
"Very serendipitous meeting you," Duncan said. "And what do you do Ray, er, Ryan?"
"I'm also a CPA," I replied.
"Fantastic!" he said. "Got a card?"
"Actually, no," I lied.
"Hey, I've got one of your cards," Pete said. He reached into his wallet and gave Duncan my card. "You gave it to me when you went independent last year. Not sure why I kept it so long."
"Just my luck," Duncan said, a big wolfish grin spreading across his face, enjoying my predicament. "Well, I'd give you one of my cards but I don't have any on me. Nice running into you, though. If I need some help, I'll be in touch boys."
And with that, he walked off.
"That was weird," Pete said. "I mean, he looked like he knew you and almost had your name right. Ray is pretty close to Ryan when you think about."
"Yeah, sort of, I guess."
I was just relieved he was gone but worried that he had my contact info. We finished our beers and left.
Just as I was settling in at home to watch some TV, my smartphone pinged. I had a text from an unfamiliar number. I opened it. Fuck! It was a video of me giving head to Duncan. I was filled with dread. Under the photo, he had texted: "I took a little video for my own viewing pleasure. What would your buddy Pete think, I wonder?"
Panicking, I texted back: "Please don't send it to him. Look, I'm sorry."
"Sorry about what?" he replied. "That you gave me a fake name and then tried to, if you'll pardon the expression, blow me off at the bar, after I gave you a chance to experiment with another man?"
I didn't know what to do or how to reply.
"Tell you what. You can make it up to me. You know where I live. Be here by 7 pm or Pete gets a video clip."
I got up and started pacing. I had less than an hour. What should I do? Fuck. I decided I would go there and try to talk him into deleting the video. Maybe offer some free work or even pay him. I arrived at his house just before 7 and knocked on his door. Duncan opened it immediately.
"You made a smart decision," he said, ushering me in. "Would you like a drink?"
"No, I'm good," I replied. "Look, maybe we can cut a deal or something. And you can delete the video."
"Let's go into the living room," he said, ignoring my suggestion.
I followed him into the living room, where he sat on the couch. I went to sit down in an armchair.
"No, come sit here," he said, patting the seat next to him on the couch.
I sat down beside him, feeling uncomfortable as hell.
"Look, maybe we can cut a deal or something," I repeated.
"Shh, quiet," he said, patting my thigh. "How did you enjoy sucking my cock last time? How did my cum taste?"
"Um, it was good, I guess."
"When you got home, did you masturbate to it?" he asked as he rubbed my thigh. "Have you thought about it since then?"
"What difference does it make? Who cares? Can we just talk about the video?"
"Humor me."
"Yes, I jerked off when I got home that day."
"Did you enjoy about the situation?"
