I woke up in unfamiliar surroundings, but unlike that morning the hotel, I felt safe. I felt Mitch’s strong arms wrapped around me and his warm gentle breathing on my neck. I let myself smile and snuggled in as close as I could. My movement caused Mitch to stir.
He gave the back of my neck a gentle kiss. He softly said, “Good morning. How did you sleep?”
I melted into his embrace even more, I said, “I think that was the best night’s sleep that I have had in a long time.”
He said, “Me too. I was going to suggest we move to the bed where we might be more comfortable. You felt so good in my arms and looked so peaceful, I just couldn't wake you up.”
I said, “I’m sorry, I should have left so you could have gone to bed.”
Mitch kissed my neck again, “No. I’m glad you didn’t, I wanted you to stay.”
We lay there holding each other in silence for a few minutes. Mitch said, “Would you like some breakfast? I think I have bacon and eggs in the fridge.”
I smiled, “I would love some breakfast.”
I watched as Mitch effortlessly prepared perfectly fried eggs and bacon that was equally crisp and chewy. I smiled as he allowed me to help by making the toast. To my credit, I did butter it like a champ.
After we ate, I helped Mitch clean up and do the dishes. I said, “Thank you for breakfast and for dinner last night.”
He gave me a peck on the lips. “You are so welcome.”
I smiled, “And thank you for being patient with me.”
Mitch wrapped me in a hug, “I really want to get to know you better. I will respect your wishes and your needs as long as you respect mine.”
God, this guy is just perfect. I smiled, “Of course I will, and I want to get to know you better too.” I gave him another kiss and said, “Why don’t you give me a ride home. I’ll go get some groceries and make you dinner tonight, that is if you want to come to my place.”
He smiled, “You want to cook for me?”
I nodded, “Sure, you aren’t the only one that knows his way around a kitchen.”
He chuckled, “I accept your kind invitation.”
Mitch drove me home and I quickly looked through my cupboards and made my shopping list. A fast trip to the store and I started to prepare our meal. I was going to make one of my favorites, chicken breasts baked in a mushroom and wine sauce and brown rice.
Growing up, my family wasn’t destitute, but we certainly didn’t have money to throw around. Mom became an expert at preparing chicken in many different ways. Chicken was cheaper than beef or pork and this dish is one those comfort foods that I loved to make with Alex.
After I put the chicken in the oven, I took my shower and again, spent too much time trying to decide what to wear. I landed on a pair of jeans and a long sleeve henley, not dressy, just casual enough for night at home. I started cooking the rice and steaming the broccoli, Mitch should be arriving in few minutes.
Right on time, I heard the knock on my door. I opened the door to a smiling Mitch, holding a bottle of wine. He gave a quick kiss as I let him inside.
He said, “I hope you don’t mind; I brought some wine. You don’t have to drink any if you don’t want to.”
I smiled, “That’s fine, I think I would like a little wine. It will go great with the chicken.”
Mitch poured each of us a glass of wine as I put dinner on the table. We sat down to eat, and I watched Mitch take his first bite, hoping he would like it.
He grinned, “This is delicious, Jack. What is in the sauce?”
I said, “It’s one of my mom’s recipes. It’s a wine sauce with fresh mushrooms. Mom used to make with canned mushrooms, but when I made it with Alex for the first time, he suggested using fresh, and he was right. It is much better and we tweaked some of the other spices too.”
Mitch smiled, “It’s wonderful, me and Josh used to like to cook together too.”
I took a drink of my wine, “Maybe we should find a new recipe and make it together next time.”
He nodded, “I would love that.”
We continued to eat and I said, “So, you’ve told me a little bit about your brother, what about the rest of your family?"
Mitch took a deep breath, “Adam is really the only family I have. Both sets of my grandparents passed away when I was young. Adam is two years older than me and when we were 16 and 18, our parents were killed in a car accident. Adam gave up starting college to stay with me until I graduated from high school.”
I said, “Wow, that is a huge sacrifice. No wonder you are so close to him.”
He nodded, “I will never be able to repay him for that. But it all turned out fine, we stayed in the house we grew up in, it wasn’t much, but it was paid for. Adam worked at a grocery store and took care of me. We sold the house when I graduated and used the money so we could both go to college and we graduated together. We took care of ourselves pretty well.”
I smiled, “Yes, you did.”
I told him a little more about my family and then about my job at Emerson Manufacturing.
He said, “That sound like a good place to work, and Bob seems like a great boss.”
I nodded, “It is. You never really told me about your job. I know you said you work in purchasing, but you never said where.”
Mitch said, “It’s at an appliance manufacturer. Toasters and blenders, that kind of thing. I buy all parts that are used to make our products. The name keeps changing, the company keeps getting bought by bigger companies. The latest one to buy us is…”
I burst out laughing, He asked, “What’s so funny?”
I said, “I know that company, they fired me three years ago.”
He looked at me confused, “What?”
I explained everything that happened with Rusty and then Paul and how it led to me being fired. I also told him about Amy and Wendy.
Mitch was now laughing, “I work in the office at the factory, so I don’t get to corporate too often. I did have a meeting there a couple of weeks ago though. I actually met with Wendy’s team; we were talking about the components of a new product we are working on. It is so crazy that we worked for the same company at the same time.”
I chuckled, “Yeah, if I hadn’t been fired, you might have been meeting with me a couple of weeks ago.”
He nodded, “I probably would have never worked up the courage to ask you out though.”
I agreed, “I probably wouldn’t have had the guts to ask you out either.”
He leaned across the table and gave me a kiss, “Things worked out for the best then.”
Mitch helped me clean up and we poured another glass of wine and sat on the couch together. Tonight, Mitch was laying against my chest as I had my arms around him. We talked more about Alex and Josh and our families. Since it was Sunday night, we both had to work in the morning. Mitch kissed me goodbye and drove back to his apartment.
I was in a much better mood at work on Monday, Brad noticed as he walked by my desk.
He smiled, “You seem to be doing a bit better, Jack.”
I nodded, “Yes, I am. I can’t thank you enough for telling me about the support group. It really does help to talk about things.”
Brad said, “You are so welcome, like I said, it helped me and Jan a lot. I’m glad it’s helping you too.”
I didn’t tell him about meeting Mitch. Brad was one of the guys that didn’t say anything about me being gay, but I could tell that he wasn’t really comfortable with the subject. I never tried to hide being gay, but I didn’t broadcast it either. As he walked away, I looked at the picture of me and Alex that I kept on my desk. It was the one that Alex had on his desk when he died.
I made a quick stop at the cemetery after work; I had to tell Alex about my weekend with Mitch. I took a quick walk by Josh’s grave too. I felt I knew him much better after the talks Mitch and I had. As soon as I got home, I called Beth. She was genuinely happy for me and encouraged me to pursue getting to know Mitch. I was feeling even better about starting to move on after talking to Alex and her.
Mitch and I called each other every night that week. We made plans for another date that weekend. Over the next few weeks, it turned into a standing date. We also started to alternate spending the evening at each other’s apartment every Wednesday. Other than kissing and holding each other, we still had not done anything physical. Mitch had not brought up the subject, neither did I.
About six weeks after we started to see each other, it was Friday after work, we both pulled into the cemetery at the same time. Mitch walked to visit Josh and I went to see Alex. We both walked back to our cars; Mitch had parked beside me.
He gave me a kiss and said, “I have a new recipe. How about I swing by the store, grab all the ingredients and come to your place and give it try?”
I smiled, “I would love that.”
He gave me another kiss and said, “I’ll be there in half an hour.”
I pulled out my cutting board and pans, Mitch arrived and we were soon trying out that new recipe. I love working in the kitchen with him, I actually love being around him anywhere. I certainly didn’t hate it when we brushed against each other. We were taking every opportunity to give each other little kisses as we talked about our day.
The meal was great and after we cleaned up, we snuggled together on the couch. We both had a few ideas to enhance our new recipe. Mitch had his arms wrapped around me as I rested my head on his shoulder and we watched some TV.
Mitch pulled me tight against him and kissed my neck. I turned my head so our lips could meet. A second later, our tongues were tangled together as we tried to suck the life out of each other. Mitch had leaned back further on the couch, and I was now on top of him. I felt my cock harden as I began to hump his thick thigh. I could also feel Mitch’s hardon rubbing on my hip.
I was trying to catch my breath as I broke our kiss and looked into those beautiful brown eyes. I panted, “Would you like to go to the bedroom?”
His eyes went wide, “Are you sure?”
I nodded, “Yes, very sure. Only if you want to, though.”
He smiled, “Yes, I want to.”
I stood and helped Mitch to his feet. I kept his hand in mine as we walked to my room. I turned back to him so we could pick up where we left off in the living room. I kept my lips locked on his as I started to pull his shirt up, Mitch started to do the same for me. We paused our kiss just long enough to toss our shirts to the floor.
The sight of Mitch without a shirt took my breath away. In the almost two months that we had been seeing each other, we had only ever seen each other fully clothed. His muscular chest and rippled stomach were coated with a perfect amount of the same dark hair that covered his arms and head. I had a little bit of hair on my chest, but Mitch made me look hairless in comparison.
We quickly kicked our shoes and socks off and resumed our passionate kiss. Mitch’s hands were holding onto my hips as I started to fumble with his belt buckle. I couldn’t help but let my hand brush across the swollen denim clad pole that belonged to Mitch. He panted a breath of air down my throat at my touch.
I finally succeeded in getting Mitch’s belt unbuckled and then got his jeans unbuttoned and pushed his zipper down. His jeans fell down around his ankles; we continued to kiss as he stepped out of the pile of denim at his feet. His thick legs were also covered in the same sexy dark fur as his chest. God, I hope his ass is just as hairy.
Mitch’s fingers were much more nibble than mine, and my jeans were on the floor before I even noticed. Mitch broke our kiss and grinned as his eyes scanned my nearly naked body. Our cocks were both pushing our underwear to limit, I know mine felt like it was going to rip the seams at any moment.
Mitch kissed me again and walked me toward the bed and I fell onto my back. He reached down and hooked his fingers under the waistband of my underwear and pulled them off, throwing them over his shoulder. His grin got wider, “God, you are so beautiful.”
My cock bounced and my face blushed at his statement. He chuckled as he grabbed my cock and leaned in for another kiss. I soon had his full weight on top of me and his hairy torso against my mostly bare chest sent a chill up and down my spine. I always loved the feel of my bare skin against Alex’s, but the fur was a new thrill.
I struggled to push Mitch’s underwear down; I really wanted to feel his bare cock against mine. Mitch pushed his hips up to aid me in my endeavor. If I thought the feel of his hairy chest against mine was good, our bare cocks rubbing against each other was pure heaven.
I reached down and grabbed his ass, God yes, I could feel the fur that covered those magnificent orbs. Mitch broke our kiss and pushed my arms above my head with the sexiest grin I have ever seen. He held my arms up as he started to nibble on my ear and kiss my neck, Jesus, he was driving me wild. He kissed his way down my neck and moved out to my exposed arm pit, giving it a slow lick. I shivered as he moved over to repeat the whole thing on my other pit. He flashed that same grin as he moved to my suddenly erect nipples. Kissing one then the other, he then gave each one a little love bite before he moved down my chest and stomach.
I had never had anyone pay any attention to my belly button, but Mitch did, he was worshiping every inch of my body. I shuddered when I thought about what was coming next as Mitch continued his trek down the trail of hair that led to my aching cock. I was disappointed when he skipped my manhood and gave my cum-filled nuts a kiss. Okay, I’m not disappointed any longer. The kiss on my balls turned to licks topped off by being sucked into Mitch’s warm wet mouth. Damn, this guy knew how to get my motor running.
I nearly jumped out of my skin when Mitch let my nuts fall from his mouth and inhaled my rock-hard love rocket. After a few minutes, I had to push Mitch off of my cock. Not counting the night in the hotel, I have no idea if I came that night, I had not had sex in a year and a half. I had not even been in the mood to jack off more than once or twice since Alex died. I wanted this to last much longer, and I definitely wanted to taste Mitch.
I panted, “You had me so close, I want to suck you now.”
That grinned returned as I rolled Mitch onto his back and took in the sight of glorious manhood pointing to the heavens. It was absolutely perfect, about that same length as mine, but slightly thicker. I swear I felt my ass twitch in anticipation.
I immediately went down on that beautiful cock; my exuberance caused me to gag a bit. I regrouped and went back to work, after a few bobs, I had sufficiently knocked the rust off of my oral skills and Mitch’s moans were filling the room. Holy shit, he tasted so good and it felt incredible to have a cock in my mouth again.
I felt Mitch pulling at my leg, I soon realized what he wanted and threw my leg over him as my cock was now dangling in front of his face. My precum flowed as he took me back into his mouth and I slobbered all over his dick. Mitch released my cock and pulled my ass down, I sudden reared up when I felt his tongue lick my hole. His hands spread my cheeks as he started to push his tongue in deeper and deeper.
I had forgotten how much I liked to be rimmed, and Mitch must have taken lessons from a pro. I was now fully sitting on Mitch’s face as his tongue worked its magic. I reached over to my nightstand and found a condom. Mitch noticed and his tongue went into overdrive. I rolled the condom on his cock and coated it with the lube that I retrieved when I got the condom.
I pulled off of Mitch and went to my hands and knees. Mitch spread some lube on my hole as he leaned down and whispered, “Are you sure?”
I panted, “God yes.”
Mitch kissed my neck as he slowly began to push in, giving me ample time to adjust to the invasion. I took a deep breath as I finally felt my love button being pushed. Suddenly the pain was completely replaced with pure pleasure. I breathed, “Fuck yes, keep doing that.”
Mitch didn’t need to be asked twice, and I was pushing back on every stroke. We were like two wild animals in heat, completely in sync with each other. Mitch grabbed my hips and increased his speed and intensity. I was completely surprised when without warning, my cock began to spasm and shoot volley after volley of hot white cream. I didn’t think I was ever going to stop shooting.
I felt Mitch’s full weight on top of me again as he grunted and moaned. I fell onto the huge wet spot that I had just created as Mitch finished filling his condom, falling on top of me, his ragged breath filling my ear. We laid there motionless, while we caught our breath.
Mitch took a deep breath and rolled off of me and pulled me over to him for a kiss. I broke our kiss and we stared into each other’s eyes. I said, “That was incredible.”
Mitch smiled, “Yes, it was. Are you okay?”
I nodded, “I have never been better.”
We kissed again and I moved and said, “Oh shit.”
Mitch looked worried and asked, “What’s wrong?”
I chuckled as I rolled to my side, “I just rolled onto this big wet spot.”
He laughed, “Oh my God, Jack. I didn’t think one person could produce that much cum.”
I shrugged, “It’s been a while.”
He gave me a kiss, “I understand.” He held up his condom; it was also pretty full.
I said, “How about we take a shower and then change the sheets. Would you like to spend the night?”
Mitch pulled me in for a kiss, “I would love to spend the night.”
