Again, this chapter starts the same as the last, but Jess makes yet a different choice. Warning, this chapter contains references to domestic violence.
I got home from work on Friday night and had no real plans for the weekend. Well actually, I sort of wanted to go to the Cameo Theater. The Cameo is a local theater that shows old movies that are at least 20 years old. They always make it a big event and serve food and beverages from the movie that is playing. It usually brings out the true fans of the movie, and they encourage patrons to dress in costumes or as their favorite character in the movie. I drove by the week they were showing the original “Star Wars”, and I never have seen so many Chewbaccas in one place in my life.
This Saturday, they were showing “Brokeback Mountain”. I have seen it before, but never in the theater. When it was released in 2005, I was 5 and had no idea what it was about. Once I realized I was gay, it was one of the first movies I wanted to watch. I thought it would be fun to go watch it at the theater and I assumed there might be a lot of other gay guys there dressed as cowboys. I would probably just wear jeans and a button-down shirt. I’m really not into the whole costume thing.
As I was thinking about my plans, I checked the dating app that I was currently on. I had yet to actually meet with anyone that I had talked to. Honestly, I had only exchanged messages with three guys. The first two were just a couple of ‘what are you looking for’ type of messages. The third guy, Trent and I have been talking for about two weeks now and were getting close to a possible face-to-face.
So far, Trent and I seem to have a lot in common. We were both 26 and still working at the first job that we had got after we graduated from college. We both lived alone and were from simple middle-class families. We had exchanged pictures and I thought he was attractive, he also told me that he liked how I looked. I had a new message; it was from Trent. He wanted to meet at the new Italian restaurant that had just opened. I did like Italian food, so now I had to decide between Trent and Heath Ledger.
Before I could reply to Trent, I got a text from my buddy, Jake. Jake and I have been friends since college. We actually dated for a few months, but we found we were too different to be partners. We were better suited to be friends. Jake was very outgoing and always made sure that everyone he met knew he was gay. I’m a bit on the reserved side, while I don’t hide the fact that I am gay, I don’t advertise it.
I read his text, “Headwind is playing at Jones Street Station tomorrow night. You want to go have some fun?”
Headwind is a local band that we both like, they are very talented and know how to get a crowd out on the dance floor. Jones Street Station is a nice bar that caters to the gay crowd, although a lot of straight people go there for the live music.
I sighed as I now had three options for Saturday night. Then I remembered I also had an invitation from another friend, Colby. I met Colby and his husband Ben a couple of years ago at Jones Street Station. Colby had a new coworker that he wanted me to meet. He suggested that I come to their house for dinner to meet Austin. I have never had good luck with blind dates, but Colby assured me that Austin was a great guy and that he was very good-looking.
Suddenly, instead of having no real plans for the weekend, I now had too many options.
I thought about my options; to be honest, I wasn’t in the mood to risk meeting Trent. I had talked to him a lot over that last couple of weeks, but I still wasn’t sure that we would click in person. While I usually had fun with Jake, I was having a hard time talking myself into a night at a loud, crowded bar. The Cameo would sometimes hold a movie over for another week if the crowd was big enough, maybe they would do that again this time.
I called Colby and asked him if the offer was still good for dinner at their place. A nice quiet evening with a home cooked meal suddenly sounded good. I had been to Colby and Ben’s place for dinner before, they were good cooks.
Colby said, “Of course it is. Austin was coming over even if you couldn’t make it. I have been telling him about you, and he is looking forward to meeting you.”
I took a deep breath, “I’m looking forward to meeting him too. I’ll bring a cheesecake for desert.”
Colby said, “That sounds great, I hadn’t decided on a desert yet.”
Saturday morning, I ran to the grocery store to get the ingredients I needed for my cheesecake, I was glad they had fresh raspberries. The cheesecake was always better with fresh rather than with canned. I made the cheesecake and it turned out perfectly, if I do say so myself.
I took my shower and stood in front of my closet, trying to decide what to wear. I knew dinner at someone else’s home was usually casual, of course, I didn’t need to wear a suit and tie. I settled on my newest polo shirt and a pair of jeans. I pulled my simple cross necklace over my head and strapped on my watch. I slipped into my brown loafers and gave myself one last look in my full-length mirror. I guess I looked okay. I hope Austin likes what he sees.
There I go again, worrying about what would happen after the meal. Colby and Ben were just being nice friends and introducing me to another friend of theirs. It is way too early to start planning my life around a person I have yet to meet. A nice meal and quiet evening of pleasant conversation is all I should really expect from tonight. I pulled my cheesecake from the fridge and drove to Colby’s apartment.
Ben greeted me with a hug and took the cheesecake to the fridge. Colby gave me hug as he turned to the absolutely most gorgeous man I have ever seen standing before me. He had curly blond hair that was cut short on the sides and looked like he had just stepped out of the shower and simply shook his head. His crystal blue eyes sparkled as they scanned me up and down. A sweet smile crossed his lips when he was done checking me out. He was wearing a simple button-down shirt that was untucked and jeans. So far I really liked what I saw.
Colby smiled as he put his hand on my shoulder, he said, “Jess, this is Austin, he started working with me about a month ago. Austin, this is Jess, Ben and I have been friends with him for several years.”
Austin and I met in the middle of the kitchen to shake hands.
Two cute dimples made an appearance when Austin said, “It’s very nice to meet you, Jess.”
I stammered, “It’s nice to meet me too.” I immediately felt the heat rush to my face.
Ben chuckled as he handed me a glass of wine, he said, “Smooth Jess, real smooth.”
I took a deep breath, “I mean, it’s nice to meet you too, Austin. Sorry.”
Austin gave me a reassuring smile, “It’s okay.”
Colby grinned at me and said, “Dinner is just about ready, go ahead and have a seat at the table.” He put his hand on my shoulder and whispered, “Relax, he already thinks you are good-looking, I showed him the picture of us at the beach we took last summer.”
I took another deep breath as Austin, and I sat next to each other at the table and Ben and Colby began to set the food in front of us. Ben topped off our glasses with wine and they joined us. We started to talk about our jobs and how we met at Jones Street Station. Thankfully, Colby kept the conversation flowing and I did my best not to make an ass out of myself again.
Colby had prepared a nice pasta dish with a lettuce salad and garlic bread. It was delicious. Ben kept our wine glasses full and I finally relaxed. By the time we were finishing eating, I was truly enjoying the evening. From what I could tell, Austin was enjoying himself too. Colby was right, Austin seemed like a very nice guy. Of course, my mind raced with what we would do on our second date, and our third, then fourth. I stopped myself, slow down Jess, you don’t even know if Austin wants a second date.
My cheesecake seemed to be a big hit as well and the four of us talked and laughed for another couple of hours. As Austin and I both got ready to leave at the same time. We thanked Ben and Colby for a wonderful evening and walked out to our cars. We exchanged phone numbers and both drove away. I thought as I drove home that Austin must at least be open to second date since he asked for my number.
The next morning, Colby sent me a text message, he told me that Austin did like me and wanted to us to see each other again. I didn’t want to seem too anxious, so I waited a couple days before I called Austin. I was worried that I didn’t have Colby to help with the conversation and that I would run out of things to talk about, but we talked for over an hour. There were no awkward pauses and by the time we ended the call, we had planned to have dinner on Friday night.
Of course, I had been telling Jenna about Austin and as always she was encouraging me. By the end of the week, I was really excited about my date with Austin. We decided to try a new restaurant that had just opened. They had a varied menu, so we thought we could both find something to eat that we liked.
Austin picked me up and we drove to the restaurant. I was a bit surprised when he got upset that the driver in front of him was going slow. I was a little relieved when he calmed down and we got to our destination and were seated right away.
We ordered our drinks and continued to get to know each other better. We had learned most of the basic things the week before with Ben and Colby, tonight we probed a little deeper. Once again, Austin seemed to get upset when his steak wasn’t cooked exactly like he liked it. My meal was prepared perfectly.
As we were finishing eating, Austin said, “I’ve had a nice time. Would you like to get together again?”
I smiled, “Sure, I would like that.” I thought a minute and added, “Would you like to come to my place next week? I can cook dinner for you.”
He grinned, “That sounds like a good idea. I can see what kind of cook you are.”
I shrugged, “I know my way around a kitchen.”
Austin chuckled, “Good, because I don’t.”
We gave each other a quick peck on the lips and went our separate ways. As I drove home, I was already starting to plan my menu for our next night together. As soon as I got home, I went online to search for a new recipe to try. I found one that I thought looked good and then found a new Cheesecake recipe that I wanted to try. It was Turtle Cheesecake, with chocolate, caramel, and pecans. I wrote out my shopping list.
The next day I went to the store to get my ingredients. I was going to make both new dishes to make sure I liked them before our date. The cheesecake turned out great and I made a few tweaks to the other recipe, by the end of the week I had it just right.
Again, I told Jenna about Austin coming over and she encouraged me as she always did. When we left work on Friday she wished me good luck. Our date was on Saturday, and we talked several times during the week. I was getting more excited as I prepared our meal and I got my apartment cleaned.
Austin seemed to enjoy the meal, but he did confess that he wasn’t a fan of cheesecake. I guess I wouldn’t be making that for him again. Oh well, I can still make it for myself.
After we finished eating, we moved to the living room and had another glass of wine while we talked. We soon had set our wine glasses on the coffee table and were looking into each other’s eyes. I just melted every time I saw those blue eyes. Austin moved in until our lips met.
We kissed for a few minutes, Austin pulled back and smiled. He said, “That was nice. Would you like to continue this in the bedroom.”
I nodded, “I would like that very much.”
I took his hand and led him down the hall. Once we were in the bedroom, we started kissing again, our hands roaming all over each other’s bodies. Austin had an incredible body; he had muscles in all the right places. I started to unbutton his shirt and pushed it off his shoulders. His muscular chest was just perfect; he could be a model.
Austin pulled my shirt over my head and smiled. As he ran his hands through my chest hair he said, “Dang, this fur is so sexy.” I’m sure I blushed.
We kissed again as I started to unbutton his jeans and pull down his zipper. His jeans fell to the floor, and Austin was standing there in his briefs. I hooked my fingers on the waistband of his underwear and started to push them down. They soon joined his jeans around his ankles. I got my first look at his cock; I was a bit surprised to see that it wasn’t exactly big. He was already fully hard, and it was maybe three inches long and not much bigger around than a cigar.
I looked up at Austin, he sighed, “Sorry, that’s all the bigger it gets.”
I smiled, “It’s okay, more than a mouthful is a waste anyway.” I kissed him again; I had never been too much of a size queen. I guess just because you are good looking and have a perfect body doesn’t guarantee you are gifted in all areas. The fact that Austin trims his pubes fairly short at least made him look a little bigger. I stroked his cock as he unbuttoned my jeans and removed my underwear.
We fell onto the bed into a sixty-nine position to feast on each other. Even though he wasn’t that big, I was still enjoying sucking his dick. Austin also had some serious oral skills. We both began to work a finger towards each other’s holes. It appears that we both liked our asses being played with, I know I did.
I gave his nuts a few licks and moved so that I could give his smooth pink pucker a little attention. Austin moaned as I started to fuck him with my tongue. After I had his hole licked, Austin moved me so that he could rim me. Just as skilled as he was at sucking a cock, he was even more skilled at licking my hole. I have always loved having my ass licked.
I couldn’t take it any longer, I wanted to be fucked. I gasped, “Will you please fuck me?”
He looked up at me and nodded, “Yeah, if that’s what you want.”
I said, “Yes, that is what I want.”
I pulled some lube from my nightstand and handed it to Austin. He worked a finger into my hole to get it slick. Austin soon replaced his finger with his only slightly bigger cock. To be honest, I had to look to make sure he still wasn’t using his finger. I was impressed when Austin did manage to hit my sweet spot.
What he lacked in size, he definitely made up for it with enthusiasm. I was on my back with my legs in the air staring into the eyes I was quickly falling in love with. He leaned down and we began to kiss as Austin pistoned in and out. I felt Austin’s heart rate rise and his breathing quicken. He panted, “I’m close.”
He reached down and pulled is dick from my ass and gave it a quick stroke and covered my stomach with his seed. It was an impressive load, especially since it came from such small nuts. I thought to myself, stop that Jess, you know that is not how it works. Size has nothing to do with virility.
Austin rolled onto his stomach and put a pillow under his hips. I smirked, “Would you like to have my cock in that cute little ass of yours?”
He sighed, “Hell yes.”
I lubed up and positioned myself to honor his request. He really did have a sweet ass, and I had hoped I would get to fuck him. I slowly pushed in, Austin moaning louder with every inch I gave him. He let out a deep breath when I bottomed out and hit his sweet spot. He begged me to go faster and harder. The sounds he was making only egged me on as I began to pump with all my might.
Austin was pushing his hips up with every thrust, and I felt my baby batter begin to boil its way to the surface. At the last second, I pulled out and coated that tight, firm ass with my semen. I rolled Austin over and we shared another passionate kiss before I lay beside him so we could catch our breath.
He said, “I hope you were satisfied, I usually only bottom. For… um… obvious reasons.”
I kissed his cheek, “It’s okay, and I am very satisfied. Care to join me in the shower.”
He gave that sexy smile and nodded, “Of course.”
We showered and Austin spent the night. Over the next weeks we would call or text daily and by the end of the month we were seeing each other two to three times a week. Whenever Austin came to my place, I always cooked dinner, when we were at his place, we would usually have food delivered. I guess I didn’t mind cooking and he always paid when we ordered food.
We had plans for Austin to come to my place and my plan was to stop and get groceries on my way home. I ended up having to work late, we had a project that we were working on and the client suddenly moved up the deadline. I sent Austin a text telling him I would be late, he didn’t reply so I figured he would just stay home tonight.
When I finally got to my place, I was surprised to see Austin waiting in his car. We got our of our cars and I gave him a smile, “I didn’t think you would come over, how long have you been waiting.”
He gave me a look, “Over an hour!” He looked upset.
I said, “I sent you a text that I was working late. I’m sorry.”
He sighed, “Whatever.”
He followed me into my apartment, and I suddenly remembered that I was going to buy groceries. I didn’t really have anything to cook for dinner.
I said, “I didn’t get a chance to shop, do you mind if we order a pizza?”
He rolled his eyes, “If I wanted to order a pizza, I would have stayed home.”
I said, “I’m sorry, I just didn’t get a chance to…”
He threw his hands in the air, “Never mind, I’ll just go home and have a bowl of cereal.”
He turned and stormed out the door, I tried to talk to him, but he just ignored me. I waited an hour and sent Austin another text apologizing for not having something for us to eat. He never replied. I tossed and turned all night. I was a bit disappointed that he was so upset about something so relatively minor.
I was again busy the next day at work, so I didn’t have much time to think about it. Right after I got home that night, Austin called. He said, “I’m sorry I got so mad last night, I had a bad day at work yesterday.”
I said, “I get it, but I did send you a text so that you could make other plans for dinner and not wait for me.”
He sighed, “Yeah, I know. I checked my phone after I got home. I overreacted; I should have never acted like that.”
The next few weeks were back to normal, and we decided to go out for dinner on Saturday. Once again, Austin became upset when the server brought his order and it was not right. Actually, it was exactly as Austin had ordered.
I said, “That is what you ordered Austin. Remember, you changed it as she was writing it down.”
He just glared at me and barely said two words for the rest of the evening. We drove back to my place in silence and Austin followed me into my apartment. As soon as I closed the door, he hit me with the back of his hand and yelled, “Don’t you ever contradict me like that again, I know what the hell I ordered.”
He turned and left my apartment. I was too shocked to say or do anything. The next day, Austin called, I didn’t answer and I ignored his texts. I wasn’t ready to talk to him yet, I’m not sure when I will be. I didn’t have much choice when I got home from work the next day and he was waiting in the parking lot.
He said, “Jess, I am so sorry. I had a lot of things on my mind; I should have never hit you.”
I said, “No, you shouldn’t have, and you never will again.”
He took my hand, “You’re right, I will never do anything like that again.”
It took a couple of weeks, but we sort of got back to our old routine. I guess I thought he deserved a second chance. We decided to have Colby and Ben over for dinner the next weekend, we hadn’t done anything with them since the night they introduced us. Austin even came over early and helped me clean and cook the dinner.
We had an enjoyable evening with Colby and Ben as we talked about anything and everything. Somehow the conversation turned to being intimate, Colby began to tease Ben.
Ben retorted, “Just remember who is packing more heat in their shorts.”
Colby laughed, “I remember, but you also should remember who knows how to use their heat better.”
We all chuckled and I said, “I told Austin more than a mouthful is a waste.”
More chuckles from everyone, but Austin suddenly had a look in his eyes. Ben and Colby must have noticed too, they soon decided it was time to call it an evening.
As soon as I closed the door behind them, Austin’s fist found my face. He screamed, “You never talk about me like that again.” He continued to hit me.
I woke up in unfamiliar surroundings, I asked, “Where am I?”
The nurse said, “You are in the hospital.”
Ben and Colby suddenly appeared next to my bed. Colby said, “I’m so sorry Jess, I had no idea Austin was like that.”
Ben said, “We heard the commotion from the hall, and it took both of us to pull Austin off you. These people would like to talk to you.”
I asked, “What people?”
Colby said, “This police officer and the councilor from the Domestic Violence Center.”
