I was looking in the fridge, wondering if there was anything that I could throw together. I wasn't in the mood to cook so I reached for the left-over salmon-patty when my phone chirped.

“Hello?” I asked, as I saw it was from a masseur who had just recently given me a great massage".

“Ed? This is Steven, your masseur from Monday evening.” he announced in a quiet, hesitant voice.

“I remember well," I said. “One of the best massages I've received in quiet a while.”

“Yes, we both seemed to be enjoying the time you spent on my massage table. I wanted to ask you something."

“Ask away,” I said wondering what he could possibly ask me.

“I found an old DVD that I thought was lost and I decided to watch it. Um - – - I was wondering - - - if you'd like to come watch it with me?”

“Hmmm?” I wondered out loud.

“Only if you want to,” he added.

“I don't have plans for this evening. Maybe I could stop and get hamburgers, and we could have dinner together, and neither of us would have to cook,” I suggested.

“That sounds great. I'll have the wine ready,” he answered. “Come as soon as you want to.”

“A quick shower, a stop for burgers, and I'll be there,” I answered, feeling a slight excitement for some reason.

I found myself humming in the shower, again getting into my shorts and shirt, and on the way for the burgers. Something in his voice led me to believe there might be more to the visit than was spoken. Maybe I just hoped so, who knows?

I walked up to his front door and was about to ring the doorbell when he opened the door with a bright smile and invited me in. He was muscular but a slender man, and looked good in his shorts. His legs were long and well shaped and the tan showed that he'd been in the sun. He took the burgers and began to place them on plates. He had put nice place mats, napkins, ketchup, and wine glasses at his bar. It looked very inviting but casual. We sat, he poured the wine, and we began to eat. There seemed to be a question in the air but neither of us spoke for a few minutes.

“I don't usually socialize with my clients, so this is a bit new for me. I'm glad you accepted the invitation," he began.

“I'm glad you called. I was wondering what I was going to do to fill the evening,"

"I used to watch this old DVD with my partner, and we enjoyed it every time. Sadly he died a couple of years ago, and I've had a difficult time getting back to a normal life again. We were very close and had a deep love for each other. He developed a brain tumor and was gone before we had time to get used to the fact.

“I'm sorry to hear that. I had no idea," I began.

“I have gone all this time without even thinking about being with another man. Of course my massages have happy endings when wanted, but I consider that part of my job and if I'm not careful, I have to keep my mind on it or I begin to think of the laundry, or mopping the floor,” he said with a sad smile.

“I wasn't aware of your mind wandering last Monday evening” I said as I laughed and finished my burger.

“That's just it. My mind didn't wander and I rather enjoyed the entire massage both therapeutic and erotic. I began to think I may be getting over some of the shock of losing the love of my life.” He had finished his burger and was holding his glass of wine, but lost in thought.

After a few moments of silence, he finished his wine and poured us each another glass.

“Let's take these with us and sip on them while we watch the DVD,” he said and got up with his glass and I followed.

He indicated that I should sit on the couch and he put his wine glass down on the coffee table, showing that he would sit beside me. I was intrigued by all that was happening and feeling an anticipation that I hadn't felt in a long time. He had the DVD inserted, the sound set, and the movie began. I noticed that it was an all male cast and that created more interest. It was a very old movie and rather grainy, but the actors were good looking, and seemed to have more talent than usual for this kind of movie.

Steven sat rather close to me and it seemed like a natural action. As the movie continued, he let his leg touch mine and didn't move it. It was a good feeling of closeness with our bare legs touching, but nothing more. We sipped our wine and watched the movie in silence.

One of the guys went outside to the swimming pool, dropped his speedos, and dived naked into the pool. He had a handsome body with no tan lines. I realized I was wishing I was in the pool with him. Soon there were others and the pool was full of naked Greek gods, playing and having a great time.

“We used to attend parties like that,” Steven muttered more to himself than to me.

“I was wishing I was in the pool with them,” I said. Then I remembered I was old enough to be their father and they wouldn't want me in the pool with them.

By now, Steven's leg was pressing firmly against mine and I moved mine just a bit so that there was naked skin moving against naked skin. He reached over and put his hand on my knee and moved his fingers just a bit and then left it there. It was such a good feeling sitting close to him with our legs touching and his hand on my knee that I put my hand on his hand. We watched the naked men cavorting in the pool for a bit, enjoying each other's closeness until the actors began to get out of the pool and face the camera with their nakedness. Of course all had sculpted bodies and perfects cocks. It was fun to watch them swinging and bouncing about as they walked in front of the camera.

“I always enjoy that part,” he said. “They are so comfortable in their nakedness, and look so good as they parade in front of the camera."

“I certainly enjoyed it just now,” I mentioned. “I was wanting to join them and then realized I was the age of their fathers, or maybe grandfathers.”

“That's what I enjoyed about you, Ed. You are much older but you don't think like and old person. You are just you, and I was very comfortable with you as a client, and comfortable now with you as a friend.”

As he said that, his hand traveled up my bare leg a bit and I liked the feeling it was causing. I removed my hand from his hand and put it on his bare leg and felt a warm, firm leg respond to my hand.

He put the movie on pause and turned slightly toward me.

“I was wondering if we might do a bit of snuggling without it having to lead anywhere” he said. “I don't know how I feel about my first time getting close to another man. Part of me wants to and part of me finds it's moving too fast.”

“I'm perfectly fine with what ever you want to do. I'm in no rush to do anything. I enjoy just being close and we can let our bodies tell us what to do and when,” I answered.

“I felt you'd understand. This has already been a great help. I don't know if I want to do more or not, but your answer let me know we could be comfortable and see what happens.”

With that, he turned, began the movie again. He put his arm around my shoulder as he moved closer so our whole bodies were against each other. He placed his other hand across his body and on my bare leg, up where my short began. I put my hand on his thigh, just next to his bulge. After a few minutes of watching the men in the movie begin to enjoy each other, he let his hand slide up next to my waist and pause holding my zipper. His head was now next to mine and we felt very comfortable just enjoying the movie and exploring.

Suddenly he moved and quickly said, “Let's remove our clothes. I think we'd both be more comfortable.”

We quickly stepped out of our shorts, dropped our briefs to the floor and released our hardness. We pulled our shirts over our heads and sat back down, very close, totally naked, and feeling very good about it. I've always been the most comfortable totally nude, and was very glad he had felt secure enough to venture forth to this level.

“I'm amazed that I'm comfortable like this with another naked man,” he said as surprised as he was glad. “I was afraid I never would.”

“This feels perfect. I like this way of enjoying a movie."

There is something very wonderful about naked skin against naked skin. It sends beautiful signals to the brain of simple pleasure and naturalness. I love the feeling and would enjoy it a lot more if I could.

As the men became more and more involved with each other in the movie, Steven let his hand wander over my bare skin and I felt a shiver of delight. His talented and practiced hands knew exactly where to go for the most wonderful effects and he didn't miss a single place. When his hand went down my stomach and into my pubic bush, another shiver of delight traveled over my body, and my hand automatically took his handsome cock in my fingers and I simply held it without any action. I felt a wonderful euphoria sweep over me, and lost track of the men in the movie. My eyes saw them but my mind was consumed with being next to a naked man, holding his swelling cock, and being totally content. I gasped as he took my cock into his hands and was very gentle but firm with it.

At one time in my life, I couldn't have stopped the action when I reached this point, but now I felt no need to rush into anything. Everything was perfect at the moment and I wanted it to last forever.

“I think I'd like to jack off sitting very close to you and you do the same,” he whispered. “I'm feeling a strong sexual urge, but I'm not sure I'm ready to do more than masturbation.”

With that he took his own magnificent hardness into his loving hand and began to slowly slide the skin up and down. I did the same and was amazed at how much better it felt in this circumstance than when home alone. I became aware that the naked men in the movie had moved on to oral and some were indicating that anal was next. They were professionals and knew how to make it look absolutely wonderful. However, I was so content with our masturbation that I had no desire to follow their actions.

As the movie continued and the action became more and more involved with the men in all kinds of positions with several in a cluster on their sofa, and another group on the floor, while a couple were on the pool table and some were standing around watching and jacking. It was impressive with so many perfect bodies and impressive dicks, but I was happy exactly where I was with my familiar hand on my familiar cock, sitting next to a handsome naked male who was also enjoying the same.

The movie ended and the DVD turned itself off. The room became dark which added to the wonderful pleasure I was feeling.

Steven suddenly stood up and pulled me up into his arms. I could feel his throbbing cock pushing against mine and felt a closeness that I hadn't felt before. He kissed me once, soft and tender, and then held me close in a beautiful bear hug. Then he reached between us and began to jack us both with one hand. A sexual bliss crept over me like a thousand silvery spiders creeping up my spine. I let out a moan that surprised me in its volume and intensity.

“Me too,” he mumbled.

At that moment, I felt the point of no return suddenly grasp my whole being and I began to twist and turn and writhe and push my groin hard against his hand and back again. My body took over and I had no control at all. I was thrusting into his hand so hard and fast that I was afraid I'd injure one or both of us, but I couldn't stop.

The orgasm hit and I felt the thoughts in my head explode and become nothing but pure ecstasy as the pleasure flooded my being with a rapture that I hadn't felt in many, many years. We stood arm in arm for a long time, both totally lost to reality.

After a while, I began to realize enough to remember that I was naked in the strong arms of another naked man with our bodies as close to each other as possible. I could feel our cocks against each other, slightly sticky, but feeling wonderful. We stood like that for a long time and I didn't ever want to move.

When I felt his strong bare arms slowly letting me out of their grip, I felt a loss that I didn't want to happen.

“Well, Ed,” he softly began, “I think I've had my first sexual encounter since Joe died, and I'm sure its what he would have wanted. It was pure pleasure and release with no pressure to do anything that I wasn't ready for. I loved every second of it and you were a big part of my first step back into being a normal human again. I can never thank you enough for being the perfect person to help me overcome my fear of contact with another man.”

"No need to thank me since I was enjoying it as much if not more than you. It was simply the best. There's no way it could have been improved. And I'm enjoying looking at your naked body as we talk and wondering how it could possibly have me in such a state of bliss that I didn't even know the world was turning or that any other person existed.

He laughed as he took my hand and led me to the shower stall, got the water ready, and we stepped in. As we enjoyed washing each other's bodies, I wondered if my life was heading in a different direction, or if I had a wonderful memory to enjoy for the rest of my life? Either way, I was full of joy and didn't need to think about the future since the present was so great.

“Hey!” he called. “Did you drop the soap?”
