It had been a streak of bad luck for Jim. With the economy turning south the company he worked for was forced to let people go. After 12 years he found himself unemployed. The job market was scarce for his field and he was having a hard time finding work. His wife, who was sympathetic saw the need to get him out of the house for a while and suggested he go on a road trip to visit family in the East. He felt it was a good idea to get away to clear his head.
Monday morning came and he had his car packed and was ready to go. With the tablet loaded up with all his favorite music hit the road not having any expectations of what is going to happen. He was going to take his time and enjoy the sights along the way. With the sun rising at 6 AM he was on his way
The drive on day 1 was rather uneventful. The usual gas stops and lunch. The weather was gorgeous so he took his time not really having a care in the world. By 4 o'clock driving through Utah he decided that it would be a good time to stop for the night. And pulled off the interstate.
He found a hotel that was suitable for the night and went to check in. Now understand, he had been married for 9 years so it had been well over that since he had been with another man. The memories of playing with his best friend always bought a smile to his face. He remained faithful to her and for a while the sex was good but lately falling off. Sex was the farthest thing his mind...until he saw Corey.
Corey was the desk clerk at the hotel. Around the same age as Jim and had a smile that brightened the room. His eye were a light blue that immediately caught Jim's' attention. At 5 foot 7 inches they were able to look directly into each others eyes but he didn't have the belly Jim grew over the years with a desk job. Not obese mind you, but a little belly and man boobs. He felt that stirring in his belly he hadn't felt in years. He was compelled to carry on a conversation with him.
"Hi Corey, I'm Jim. Been on the road all day and it's time for me to settle in for the evening."
"Hi Jim and welcome. We've got some very comfortable rooms here with queen size beds for you."
There was something about the way he emphasized queen size bed that made Jim take notice. He had never been one to flirt but today he was feeling very interested
"I could definitely use a queen...size bed tonight, Problem is I am all alone on this road trip. Sounds like a waste of space to me. Is there anything exciting to do around here?.
"Here in this small town there really isn't a heckuva lot to do."
"Well, what do you do for fun?"
As he handed Jim his room card he let his hand linger on Jim's for a few seconds sending electricity through his body. "I like to find new friends to hang out with and have a good time. You really have to make your own fun."
