I worked for a large, International Corporation. Well, international, only because we had an office in Toronto, Canada. Other than that, we covered the fifty states. I was an attorney in the legal department, based out of Philly.
Our CEO liked to hold a conference, every other year, so we could "bond" as a corporation, and get to know each other, as well as brainstorm new ideas, marketing strategies.
I wasn't terribly keen on the concept, I would have preferred to stay home with my wife and two young children, rather than spend a week on retreat.
This year, we were all off to Syracuse, for essentially a week, to do the corporate thing.
William was my counterpart, based out of Toronto. I had never met him, but we had talked considerably over the last 18 months that he'd been employed by our firm, as well as conversing via numerous texts and emails.
As we seemed to get along well, based on our conversations, texts, and emails, we agreed, William and I, that we would room together for the conference. We were all put up by the company bean counters in twos, so we decided that rather than ending up randomly paired with someone, we'd room together.
I drove the distance to Syracuse, instead of flying, I am not too crazy about commercial flying, being a private pilot myself, I recognize some of the movements of commercial craft that make you wonder..., and besides, for the short distance, with checking in early, TSF checks, it was almost faster to drive, plus, when I was there, I wouldn't be tethered to the hotel. Upon arrival, I parked out front, and went in to check in. Turns out, William was also just checking in.
We shook hands, having just met face to face for the first time, and I went to park my car and bring my bags up, while William went on ahead to out room.
Getting my bags out of the trunk, I made my way upstairs. I used the card key to enter our room, and immediately noticed two things. First, the room was nice. Second, William was changing his clothes, I opened the door and got a full frontal look at him. Now, guys can lie, or deny it, but we all look at each other's penis. It's true.
I am definitely not into guys, but William seemed to be built pretty well, and he had a decent sized penis.
I immediately averted my eyes, but William caught me. He had the courtesy to turn away, and not say anything.
"Sorry" I said, then noticed the biggest problem.
Instead of two beds, there was only a single queen sized bed in the room.
William said "No problem, but you see the sleeping arrangements? I called the desk, they said they were sorry, but the place is booked full, they will let us know if another room opens up."
"Ohhh man. Okay, well, not that big a problem, we'll survive, I guess." I responded.
William finished dressing while I put my bags onto the other side of the bed.
The conference didn't start until the next day, so we decided to hit the restaurant, have dinner, and get to know each other, as we'd only really ever discussed business in our phone calls and emails over the last year or so.
I turned my back on William as I stripped off the clothes I'd worn on the drive up. I turned slightly to grab a shirt to put on, out of the corner of my eye, I saw William, he looked like he was looking at my ass. His eyes were cast downward, the only thing there was my naked ass and legs.
Now, to be fair, William has a better body than I do, not that I'm into guys, but while he wasn't a muscle bound stud, it was obvious he worked out pretty regularly. Me, on the other hand, could best be described as not fat, but out of shape. I was straight, but it didn't bother me that William had checked out my ass. I mean, I checked his junk, right?
We went downstairs, had dinner, followed by drinks. Probably more than we should have. We didn't get drunk, but had enough to lower inhibitions, probably said more than was proper for business associates to say to each other.
We were both married, both had children. We were about the same age, with me being a couple years senior. Like many who attend conventions, it didn't take long before we were checking out the women in the bar. Probably many were attending our meetings, I did recognize a few, and pointed them out to William. Over in one corner, two guys were at a table, leaning in toward each other as if having an intimate conversation, smiling at each other, oblivious to everyone else around them.
William nodded towards them, "What do you think? Two queers over there?"
I turned my head, trying to not be too conspicuous, and noticed that one was definitely from our company, I never met him, but recognized him from previous meetings. "Could be, certainly something is going on with them. Doesn't look quite normal does it?"
We carried on with our banter back and forth, until a short time later, the two guys in the corner got up, brushed by us on the way out. William turned to watch them go, as did I, we both noticed that as they walked out through the doorway into the hall, they both joined hands.
"Looks like someone got lucky." William snickered.
"Jealous?" I countered, "Wish it was you who hooked up with one of those guys?"
William suddenly looked embarrassed. "Na..N..No, not me, I ain't homosexual. I'm married" His cheeks were red. "Why? You into guys?" He shot back at me, probably trying to redden my cheeks a bit.
"No, not in a while" I answered, "I'm straight too." Not realizing my faux pas.
"Sooooo. You have played with guys?"
Realizing my slip, I responded, "Look, don't get weirded out or anything, but yes, I had a friend, we used to jerk each other off, once in a while. We never fucked, or kissed, but he moved away."
William came back with "So, if he hadn't moved away, something more would have happened? Did you guys ever suck each other?"
