The beginning of Tate & Alek's relationship. More action to come.
--
*ding*
I look to the left of me at my phone and see a text from my coworker Alek. I thought it was odd because Alek was off today and we were friendly and we had hung out twice before in a larger group setting – but for him to text me directly was odd. What was even more odd was what I saw Alek sent. He had sent me a picture of himself in a light blue string tank top that looked spectacular against his deep complexion and made me realize Alek had some nice pecs. He was lifting his shirt with his right hand and exposing his muscular lower abs and a treasure trail that led down to his heather grey shorts and then the main focus of the picture – a very big bulge.
My mind was scrambled at the thought that Alek had sent me this picture because on one hand he’s my coworker but on the other hand I am finishing up this contract soon and Alek is one of the most beautiful men I’ve ever seen. *ding* another text?
Alek
You like what you see?
-
I was shocked by how forward he was being but I couldn’t say no to him, could I?
I fumbled the phone in my hands as I typed back ‘Yes..And damn Alek, didn’t know you were stacked like that!’ ..and send.
*Ding*
Alek
Shit! I’m so sorry, Tate! You were the text chain right below and I must’ve hit our chat by mistake! Let me buy you a coffee and buy your silence?
-
His text came in right as I hit send on mine. A rush of heat ran up my spine and I felt my face flush every shade possible as my shoulders slumped and I texted quickly back ‘Oh! It’s totally okay! Don’t even worry about it! Let us call it even if you ignore my response, k?’ and send.
*Ding*
Alek
I didn’t know you’d be down honestly but good to know ;) No, but seriously, let me take you for coffee and I’ll buy you lunch or something!
-
How does this keep happening!?
I composed myself and reread his message a few times as I realized that he wasn’t offended or turned off by my response; so does that mean I could have a chance with Alek?
*Ding*
Alek
Nah, I don’t think I can ignore it now. I’m making burgers tonight for myself and Ronnie, you should come! We can have a beer and laugh about how uncomfortable this was.
-
So we’ve graduated from buying me a coffee, to taking me for coffee and lunch, to inviting me for burgers and beers at his place. This was a quick progression and I couldn’t help but be a little hopeful that something could happen tonight between Alek and I. I snapped out of it and hurried out a text ‘Sure! I’ll bring some more beer. Just send me your address again. I’m outta here at 4 today so I’ll swing by after that?’
I set my phone down and tapped the desk nervously as I waited for his response.
*Ding*
‘That sounds great! 88 8th Ave. I’m the green building on the corner of 10th and 8th just txt me and I’ll grab ya! It’s going to be a hot one so those beers will be crisp!’
-
How about that. I find myself cordially invited to the beautiful black mans house after he accidentally send me a picture where I got to see more of his gorgeous body and what appeared to be a pretty big dick. Sue me for getting excited.
Was the picture really an accident? Or did he send it out fishing to see what would happen? Maybe my response changed things? Well, whatever happened I can’t spend the next 5 hours going over it again and again – after all there were things to file and spreadsheets to update. Have I mentioned how much I hate this job and can’t wait for this contract to be over?
-
The bell over the door of the liquor store near Alek’s place rang as I walked out into the wave of heat and made my way down the sidewalk. His area had a lot of nice trees and hanging baskets in front of some of the businesses. As I walked with my 6 pack in hand I looked to the business windows to check myself out. Short cropped dark hair and my bushy brows were stark against pale peach complexion. I looked over my outfit and wasn’t exactly pleased to be hanging out in my office attire but I can’t say I looked bad. My dress pants had gotten tighter over the course of my contract as I was hitting the gym as a way to vent off frustration over how mindnumbingly awful the job was – so a beneficial side effect was that my ass was big and meaty and looked great in these dark grey pants. My tight dark blue short-sleeve button down was getting pit stains thanks to this heat but nothing I could do about that now. I shifted my duffel bag into my left hand that was already holding the beer as I fished my phone out and sent a text to Alek to let him know I was coming down 10th and should be there in a minute.
*Ding*
Alek has liked your message.
-
I made it to the courtyard of Alek’s building after I crossed the hot asphalt for 3 blocks. The green building was 5 stories tall and was wider than it was high. Wooden balconies were adorned with lush flowers or hanging vine plants. It was actually quite a lovely little place. I eventually stopped looking around and by the time I looked to the front door I noticed that Alek was already standing there...observing me for a moment before he opened the door.
“Hey!”
I hurried inside past Alek.
“Hey Alek! It’s way too fucking hot.”
Alek let out a chuckle as he walked over to the elevator. He was wearing some well-fitted chinos and a green and yellow jersey – must be a Brazil fan – He looked good.
“I’m just on the 3rd floor and soon we’ll be in air conditioning” Alek explained as he pushed the call button a few times.
“Thanks for coming, Tate! I just had to do something after what I sent you today. I was mortified at the time.”
*Brrr* The elevator door slid open and we got in.
I was stuck on him saying that he *was* mortified at the time. So then he isn’t now, right? I’ve been told I overthink things. Maybe I need to just relax and have a beautiful black man make me burgers and have some beers in his air conditioned apartment.
“How could I say no! I mean, I also remember you saying you had air conditioning so I will admit I’m here with ulterior motives. The beer and burgers are just a perk. Oh, and you too of course.”
Alek’s eyes narrowed coyly as he formed a tight smirk and then nudged my shoulder and laughed.
“I kid, I kiiiid!” I said jokingly.
The elevator came to a jerky stop and Alek took the lead. I had been oggling Alek since I got there and I’ve always been pretty fixated on his ass. Perky and muscular cheeks that would look amazing around my dick. Alek was taller than me by a few centimetres but we were both pretty athletic guys. I stored mine more in my lower body but Alek had these boulder shoulders and after that picture this morning I know he’s got some meaty pecs and some diamond-cutting nipples that I couldn’t wait to suck on. Okay, I have to stop myself – Alek is just walking ahead of me through the hall, this isn’t some crazy porno. This is a coworker at a contract job that I hate. I will likely not see Alek after my contract ends; as was normal with these jobs. My train of thought was broken when we came to stop at his place.
--
Alek’s place was pretty cool. Dark grey walls with some art prints that had a lot of colour which made them really pop out. I noticed quickly that he had a thing for design books. They were scattered on his coffee table in the living room and another stack was beside his couch.
Alek was putting the beer in the fridge and was grabbing me a cold one while I got out of my shoes and set my duffel bag next to the stack of design books beside the couch. Alek came out of the kitchen and handed me a crisp one and after cheersing we both took a long drink.
“I’ll get burgers on and we can chat. Ronnie said she was coming so I’m just waiting to hear from her. But yeah, take a seat on the couch!” Alek said as he emoted quite a bit and pointed at the couch.
Alek disappeared onto his balcony and got started with the burgers. While he did that I found myself thumbing through the design book that was on the top of the pile next to the couch. It was some book about flowers and each flower was a specific shade and the whole book had a flower for every colour that we can see. It was pretty to look at but also made me think about Alek in a different way. He was always put together and had this really nice watch but having personal style and being interested in design are often different things. I looked around at the pictures on his walls and noticed not many with people. The art however was so vibrant against his wall paint choice that the room felt warm and interesting; even without random family pictures.
I took another long swig from the bottle as I set down the flower book and got up to look closer at this one painting that seemed familiar. As I was looking I heard the balcony door open and close again.
“Magritte.” Alek said flatly.
I looked to him confused then back at the painting and realized what he meant.
“Ahhh, there’s the apple in this painting...it reminds me of another painting”
“Makes sense. He liked the green apple. He also had a thing for bowler hats...But it’s nice right?” Alek inquired.
I found myself looking at Alek more than the painting and absent minded I agreed as I was looking at him in a daze. Alek looked to me and let out a laugh.
“So, about the picture...” He started.
I took another sip of my beer before starting.
“Yeah, I mean, you looked great! Nothing to be ashamed of! You just meant to send it to someone else. It haaaappens...”
Alek smirked and nodded.
“Thanks for the compliment. I.. I will say I was surprised by how you responded.. You seemed into it, Tate..”
My mouth fell open slightly as my brain had seemingly frozen. It took a second for me to reboot before I replied.
“I mean, you’re a good looking guy. Was I surprised by what you sent? Ohhhh yeah. But I’m also a regular gay man who appreciates the male form. You meant to send it to your girlfriend and I must’ve been right beneath her cause I was asking about a password on Monday.. These things happen.”
Alek took a sip and tilted his head as he looked at me.
“You’re uncomfortable... You like edibles, right?” He asked.
I nodded and watched as he grabbed one of the other drinks he brought out. One of those THC drinks with the crazy childproof lids. He cracked the lid off and opened the drink for me and handed it to me.
“It’s got some CBD and CBG, so you’ll be vibing soon.”
I thanked Alek as I literally finished my beer and then took a swig from this thin green can. Tangy on the tongue. Fizzy and tingly. Lime.
“This is pretty good...Also, sorry if I’m being weird. Just got off work and this heat just fries my brain.”
Alek laughed as he made his way to the balcony door and looked back to me and said.
“No problem at all. I fully get it, bud. Just drink up, the burgers will be ready soon!”
With that he was out the door and a pillar of steam and smoke went up as he lifted the lid on the barbecue.
-
Alek had finished the burgers and was setting up a build-a-burger station when i heard his phone go off. He pulled it out of his pocket and glanced at it and frowned.
“Ronnie bailed. Ahhh, man...”
Alek looked over to me and let out a dramatic sigh.
“She’s being a nice person and is helping her grandmother with errands. Loooooser.”
“Oh, bummer. How dare she be so thoughtful!”
Alek laughed and went and grabbed himself a THC drink as well.
“Well, it’s just us so make whatever burger you want and we can get real fat and high tonight...How does that sound...*Tate*?”
I watched as Alek opened his drink as he walked over to the table. He turned to look at me.
“You got pickles?” I asked.
Alek chortled and took a sip of his drink. His shirt formed to his muscular torso and the hem raised up a bit and I got a peek at that dark treasure trail again.
“Yes, I got two types if you want.”
“Then it sounds great!” I said as I walked over to Alek and looked over all the ingredients and the hot juicy burgers.
“You did great with the burgers...some juicy looking meat.” I said absently.
I heard a chuckle from Alek as he had a mouthful of his drink.
“Alright, you get your burger together. I think I’m going to change into shorts. The AC only does so much.” He said as he left the room.
I took that as my cue to make my burger and got to it.
-
I stood holding a plate and eating my pickle burger while looking out the balcony window at Alek’s view...it was pretty serene in this part of town. I heard Alek coming and I turned to look as he came back in wearing the same brazil jersey but with this short light grey jersey short-shorts. He had some thighs on him and those thighs looked strong and his skin looked so creamy. Alek was always hydrated and was always ready to assist those who were dehydrated... By that I mean he always had some lotion for anyone that needed it. The shorts bunched between his thighs and I couldn’t help but notice they were the same shorts from the picture. It was about now that it fully dawned on me that Alek was absolutely making a move on me and I had to mentally prepare myself for it. He has this dimple chin that perfectly accentuates a full set of lips and he has these beautiful big brown eyes that look gold in the sunlight. He was a fucking stud and I think I’m shocked that he’d be trying to pull the moves on me. I mean, I’m not ugly by any means but I’m not leading an ad campaign. I like to think I’m a comfortable 7.5 out of 10... But still, me?
I snapped out of it and commented.
“Feel more comfortable?”
Alek nodded and made his way over to the burgers.
“I do...and do you feel more comfortable now?”
“Definitely, Thanks.”
He put his burger together fast and walked back over to me as I sat on the couch, his burger in one hand and a fresh beer in the other. We sat back on the couch as Alek switched on his sound system and some ambient deep bass house started up. He was setting a mood, for sure.
The weed and beer was starting to kick in and things just moved a little bit slower. Slower and more sensual. I felt myself quickly falling into a deep, deep state of lust. The music, the weed, the beer, the delicious burgers, the stunning man that very likely wants to fuck me. I shifted on the couch and looked to the balcony and the view and after a moment I turned back and caught Alek studying my face. I felt like I was moving in slo-mo as I fully turned to face him, finding it hard to not jump Alek.
“Do I got burger juice on my face?” I asked.
Alek laughed and covered his mouth as he was on his last bite of his burger. He looked back to me with a smirk as a he chewed. After swallowing he shifted to face me directly.
“You’re weird...”
My eyes widened and I felt my head recoil back.
“I’m weird?”
“It’s a compliment.”
“How is it a compliment?”
“Because I like weird.”
“Oh? So...I...wait. No.” I fumbled my words and found myself laughing which got Alek laughing.
He set his plate down and then shifted to face me again.
“I have a question.”
“Sure.”
“You responded ‘yes’...”
“I-I did...Yeah.”
“So, we’ve already established you’re a healthy and virile homosexual that appreciates the male form, yes?”
“Yes, yes we have.”
“Perfect, so then you appreciate my male form then, yes?”
I found myself attempting to reply at least twice before I finally mustered out.
“Yes. Very much. You should be really proud of your body. You can tell you take care of yourself.”
Alek passively licked his lips and it’s like I could almost tell when a kind of hunger came over his eyes. A hunger for me.
“What part of my male form do you appreciate...Tate?”
My breath hitched for a moment and I knew i was already blushing and my freckles were probably popping out now.
“Like...from the picture?”
“Yeah.”
“Your chest looked great. That blue really works on you...”
Alek smiled wide for a moment.
“Ah, thanks. I’m trying to get into wearing more colour and not just having colour on my walls...”
“And now you’re wearing green and yellow! You’ve worn so many colours today!”
Alek laughed and I glanced down and noticed a bulge was forming.
“Every time we’ve gone out you have always gotten me chuckling. You’re a funny one, Tate...”
“It was initially a trauma defense mechanism but now it’s charming...so it all worked out in the end, right?”
Alek let out a loud laugh and shifted closer to me.
“I’d say so. It’s very...charming... Can I ask you another question?”
“Sure.”
“Was there any other part of my...form...that you appreciate?”
The edible had really kicked in and my head was hot and swimming, my thoughts were feeling like a hot house. I watched as Alek tilted his head to the side a bit and passively licked his lips before taking a sip of his drink.
“From the picture?”
“From the picture.”
“I can’t lie to a friend...Your chest looked hot as fuck but the real treat was that bulge you were sporting in the picture. Your girlfriend is real lucky”
Alek inched closer and leaned in a bit.
“It was meant for someone else. Someone I’ve been....trying to see if I was interested, ykno? But then I sent it to you and ykno I think I’m just weird enough to think that sometimes the universe just does stuff like that for a reason.”
“So you were sending them bulge bait to see if you were interested?”
“There is a method to the madness.”
“I believe you but you shouldn’t have to play games to make things work or for you to know if you’re interested or not..” My filter had apparently gone on vacation thanks to the beer/weed combo.
Alek was quiet and observing me for what felt like ages before he smirked.
“You do have a point...It should just flow and be easy. Chill.”
“eeexxactly, dude. It’s just a matter of finding that person. Whether they be a man, a woman, or whatever else. There in lies the challenge, my friend.”
“You’re weird...” Alek said quietly as he got closer to me. My breath getting faster, my dick already mostly hard. My head swimming and thinking of what to say before the filter fails me again.
“Good thing you like weird.”
Alek leaned closer to me and nodded as he made the move and leaned in to kiss me. I welcomed his kiss and the force that came with it. He shifted forward as he kissed me deep as I lied back on the couch. Alek crawled on top of me and started to kiss my neck for a moment before he pulled back in what looked like surprise and shame.
“Wait – you’re like, super into this right?”
I let out a laugh and pulled him in for another kiss. I shifted my legs beneath him so he was laying between my legs, which made it easier to wrap my legs around him and pull his body against mine. The feeling of this thick monster cock poking against my lower stomach as Alek let out a grown from the contact. He moved down a bit to kiss my neck and when he got to my collar bone I let out a gasp which cause him to pause but I could feel him smile into my skin before he began to kiss across my collar bone. For some reason I’ve always been sensitive there but I’ve made peace with it since I have someone like Alek devouring me currently.
Aleks hips began to rock as he kissed back up the other side of my neck and surprised me with tongue as he ground his hips against mine, his engorged cock rubbing between us had made my own pants get real tight. I was painfully hard. I began to get up and Alek moved with me. I slid my hands under the hem of his shirt and raised it up so I could see his stomach and chest. Two meaty slabs speckled with dark hairs and two hard lighter hued nipples popped out to greet me. I gently shoved Alek backward so he would lay down. He was reclining with his shirt still pulled up and his incredibly tight short-shorts were fighting to contain what I can only assume was a gorgeous cock. I was ready to slip his shorts off when...
*Ding-ding*
Alek let out a frustrated groan as he reached for his phone on the coffee table and glanced at the screen.
“sonnovabitch...Guess who’s Grandmother decided to be an independent senior” Alek said as he shifted and sat up then stood and looked back to me, the fabric of his shorts was straining to contain what I can only imagine is a gorgeous dick.
“Ronnie?”
“Ronnie. She’ll be here in a little bit” Alek explained as he walked out of the room to get changed again.
When Alek returned he was wearing his chinos again but his dick was still semi-hard and he pulled at the waist of his pants and adjusted himself. He looked to me and let out a sigh.
“Would you be open to picking up where we left off later?” He asked.
I nodded eagerly and adjusted myself as I stood up.
“I’d like that...A lot.” I said as I closed the distance between us and gently slid a hand along his crotch before parting and walking to the burgers.
“Oh! I should make more burgers since Ronnie’s coming,”
Alek went into the kitchen to grab more burgers and as he walked by me he paused and looked me in the eye and said. “By the way, I’d also like it a lot...”
I couldn’t help but blush as Alek’s eyes scanned over my body hungrily.
“Oh, Ronnie knows my buzzer so if you hear a jarring noise and I’m on the balcony, just let me know” He said as he went out onto the balcony.
My head was swimming as I stood in Alek’s living room and processing the past hour.
*EEEEHHHNNNN* I jumped and headed to the balcony and saw Alek grilling.
“Ronnie’s arrived”.
Alek turned to look at me, the afternoon sun illuminating his eyes turning them a beautiful golden amber. He was a stunner.
“Thanks! I’ll grab her. Dang she was fast!”
-
Alek would return with Ronnie and all three of us had burgers, beers, and weed. The flirtation was put on hold so not to make Ronnie feel weird but it didn’t stop Alek from stealing glances at me throughout the night.
The night was drawing to a close and all three of us had to work in the morning so I would go about leaving when Ronnie was ready to go. When Ronnie stepped into the bathroom Alek leaned in and whispered.
“I’ll visit ya at work and we can set up a date.”
I looked to him and asked quietly but coyly “A date?”
Alek smirked and nodded. “Yes. I’d like to see you outside of work again.”
“and maybe if I’m lucky we’d get to pick up where we left off” He added.
I couldn’t help but get a little flushed and I’m not sure what came over me but I quickly kissed Alek.
“I’d like that.”
Ronnie could be heard finishing up in the bathroom and Alek and I straightened up. When she opened the bathroom door she looked at us and paused before raising an eyebrow then stepping out into the hall to get her shoes on.
“Ready to go, Tatertot?”
“I swear if you call me that again I’ll use your government name”
“fine fine fine. Are you ready to go, Tate?...is that better?” Ronnie asked again.
Alek let out a chuckle as I nodded and got my shoes on.
Ronnie was the first out into the building hallway and as I stood up from tying my shoes I felt a hand slowly glide across the back of my right thigh. I looked over to Alek surprised and then cleared my throat.
“It’s been a pleasure! Thanks for feeding me your meat and gettin’ me buzzed.”
Alek narrowed his eyes and smirked before replying.
“Glad you had such a good time. I’ll be sure to feed you more meat again.”
I let out a laugh, the thc having fully hit me. I paused for a moment and nearly forgot Ronnie was in the hall ready to go. I looked Alek up and down once and let out a quiet. “Damn...” before turning on my heel and heading into the hall with Ronnie.
We both looked back to Alek who gave us a wave and said he’d see us at work soon enough.
Ronnie and I made our way out of Alek’s building and parted ways once we got to 9th.
----
The rest of my walk home I was replaying the intense moment that Alek and I had and the future date that Alek wanted to take me on. What exactly was I getting myself into?
---Chapter end.
