You also should be at least 18 to read this!!! So, now on to the story... Chapter 1. It's a beautiful summer day in June, here in San Francisco, and a slight breeze is blowing off the bay. There are some scattered clouds drifting about. My name is Darrel Smythe and I look to be about 30, maybe look a bit younger, perhaps a bit older. I am about 5'11" tall, 180#s, have a great head of dark auburn hair with emerald-green eyes. Some people have commented that they are one of my best features!! I am also clean shaven and told I'm a very good-looking man. I have a nice worked-out body and my firm, squared off, muscled pecs and 8 pack abs are covered in the same auburn hair. I keep it trimmed, but not too closely. I like it neat, and I really like my body hair. I always have, since it started growing when I was a young teenager. There is a trend, as of late, where men like to shave their body hair off and some guys, for some reason, like smooth chested men. NOT ME! I like my men hairy and masculine. I should admit here: I'M GAY!!!! Have been for my whole life and love it! I just wish I could find a mate to share my life with! Not that I haven't been in any relationships, a few here and there, but things just didn't work out!! So, for now (ALAS) I am single! OH, and I'm VERY VERSATILE!!! More about that later. This, leads down to my cock, tucked into boxer briefs and my tight jeans. It's a solid 8.5" when hard, fairly thick, and about 6''when soft. With a flared head and a nice set of cum filled balls underneath that I keep shaved. To finish my look, I am blessed with a firm, well-rounded ass, lightly covered in the same auburn hair and hairy ass crack. People also comment on what a great ass I have! I always smile and thank them!!! I do get to the gym several times a week! I work in an office near downtown, and I am in the AD game working for a well- known advertising firm. I have a degree in the field from Cal-Berkley and do very well for myself. I am Manager of my department and also Co-owner of the firm, plus I make really great money. I live by myself in a large (2600 sq ft.) stunning Penthouse apt. atop Nob Hill, over-looking the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. It's 4 bedroom, 4 1/2 bath, large formal living room, formal dining room. I have made one of the bedrooms into a home office. It's very well furnished. I have a passion for Antiques, Crystal, and China. So, have a large collection for entertaining, which I do a lot. I have an extensive wine collection, as well. OH, I also own the 12-story building. Great investment!!! I am walking to Union Square near downtown to do some shopping. Maybe something will strike my fancy I can't live without!! I really don't need any new clothes, as I have personal shoppers at Neiman Marcus, Wilks Bashford, Nordstrom's, and other high end men's clothing stores. I normally wear suits or sport coats and slacks to work. I have a great collection of fabulous ties and a passion for Hermes and Ferragamo. Also, shoes... I am a bit of a shoe whore and have close to 100 pairs, from casual to very high end dressy. It's close to lunch time and being Saturday, I might stop at some little chic lunch spot. As I am crossing Powell Street at Geary, I am busy looking at people out shopping not really paying much attention to where I am going. I run smack into a very good-looking young man, about my age, and nearly knock him down. I grab for his arm and pull him upright and profusely apologize. Then I look into his striking bright brown eyes flecked with a little green. I look at his striking features: Dark brown hair, with slight natural blond highlights, clean shaven and stunning!!! He's 6' and about 200#'s. He takes my breath away and seems to have a nice bulge in his tight jeans. We quickly move to the sidewalk and collectively catch our breath. I again apologize profusely, and he says, "No harm done!" and smiles. We part and walk away from each other!! As he walks away I just stare, sigh and say to myself, "Damn is he HOTTTT!" Just my type! I was thinking about looking in the Louis Vuitton Store for a new wallet. I am just about to walk into the store and am distracted yet again and sure enough, I literally run into Mr. GORGEOUS yet again. We both looked shocked and smile at each other. I looked sheepishly at him and ask, "Come here often??" He takes a good long look at me, up and down, smiles, and says, "Maybe we should introduce ourselves in case this happens again!" I look into his eyes and say, "My name is Darrel Smythe and yours?" He smiles again and introduces himself as Kurt Bergren. Now, up closer, he is even more stunning!! I also see dark brown hair peeking out of the top of his tight polo shirt. It was pale green and plays with the green specks in his eyes. I say, "Since I have run into you several times already, may I please make it up to you by treating you to lunch and please, your choice!! I won't take NO for an answer!!" Kurt stood back, looked me up and down and smiled. He smiled a gorgeous smile. "I will except your kind invitation to have lunch with you. What are you in the mood for, food that is!!" and started to laugh. He retorted with, "Let's go to Kuleto's down on Powell. Hope that works for you. They have an interesting menu." I stare at the hunk and reply, "That sounds great, and we can get to know each other!!" So off we go down to Powell and walk into Kuleto's. (A great Restaurant, been many times!) Each man smiled at each other and on Darrel's Spidey sense, there seemed to be a spark. (Certain people call that GAYDAR! I Know I do!!) We got a nice table right away and Darrel pulls out a chair for his companion. They peruse the menu, and each asks for a white wine spritzer with a lemon wedge. Kurt ordered a Calamari Appetizer with an aioli sauce and Darrel chose the Mixed Bruschetta: Chopped tomatoes, capers, white navy beans and garlic on toasted sliced baguette. Kurt smiled, raises his glass, and says, "Here's to new friends and I hope you're not the least bit offended when I tell you, you are one of the most attractive men I've seen in a very long time!!" Darrel smiled and said back, "I am not the least bit offended, and I must also say you are stunning as well!!!" They clicked glasses. The appetizers arrive, they dig in, and they are delicious. They talk and get to know each other, asking what they did for a living, where each lived, etc. Darrel spoke first and said he had a large 3 bed, 3 bath condo on `SNOB HILL,' over- looking the bay and had lived there for several years. I live alone except for my Princess, a black Persian cat who totally runs my life and is very spoiled!! Kurt laughed at the comment about `SNOB HILL' and said he had heard the expression before. As they finish the first courses, the server came back and asked about main courses? Kurt ordered the mixed seafood grill, potatoes Lyonnaise and fresh broccoli while Darrel asked for fresh grilled salmon with a Buerre Blanc sauce, rice pilaf and mixed veggies. Darrel went on to explain he was in advertising and manages a department. Kurt is a buyer for an import store that sells glass, crystal, and dishware of all kinds from all over Europe. He is Vice President, does very well and lives out in St. Francis Woods in a house he just remodeled and is close to 100 yrs. old. 4 large bedrooms, 4 1/2 bathrooms, formal living room and dining room, a new modern kitchen with an antique flair and a vintage Wedgwood stove he dearly loves as he is an accomplished cook. Darrel said he also loved to cook. Each revealed his age to be in his early 30's. They got into what movies they like, music they preferred, and both had similar tastes. Movies were some sci-fi, ROM-COMS and mysteries and Kurt said he had an affinity for Vampire movies. Music was everything from New Age, Classical, Oldies, some Country Western, but absolutely NO RAP CRAP!!! They both laughed over that!! Turned out they both loved Opera and the Symphony, as well!! Their main courses came, and they even shared bites! Kurt exclaimed that lunch was fantastic. Lunch was soon finished, and they declined dessert, but each asked for espresso. Darrel got brazen and asked with a smile. "I have had a great time this afternoon and this day turned out better than I even hoped, so, could I ask if you're free and if you have no other plans, would you like to go to a movie tonight??" Kurt smiled and said yes on one condition: It's MY treat since you got lunch. What do we want to see? There's that old theater, The Clay, on Fillmore at Clay streets that is playing and Ingrid Bergman movie, "Indiscreet" with Cary Grant. I think it starts at 8:00!! How does that sound?" Darrel replied, "That makes it a date and then maybe we could go for a cocktail after. There's a nice bar just up the street. Do you want to meet at the theater, or I can come pick you up about 6:30? Does that work?" "You can pick me up at the house if you'd like and let's make it a fun night, the movie, and drinks after. I am looking forward to it!!" Darrel paid the check and left a nice tip for the handsome server. They got up and left the restaurant, and stood outside, smiling at each other. Kurt leaned forward and place a nice kiss on Darrel's cheek. "See you tonight! Oh, we should exchange cell numbers and I will text you my address in a bit." "Sounds like a plan and I have certainly enjoyed literally `RUNNING' into you today. I have a had a delightful time!" Kurt smiled and walked down Powel St. He turned once and looked back and saw Darrel just standing there, smiling. He smiled to himself and thought, `Damn, what a total hunk...so damn good looking!!' I hope this works out! He is just what I'm looking for in a lover and mate!! Darrel walked over and went into the Louis Viton store and got the new wallet he wanted and also a new check book cover. He paid for his purchase and walked outside smiling and thought, `Damn he is so hot, sexy, and just my type!! I want to explore this feeling with him and hopefully start a relationship...!! Darrel walked back up the hill to his spacious apt, and was greeted by his Princess, Margo. He reached down and stroked her head. She purred and wanted more petting. She meowed for more. "Come on baby girl, let's go take a lay down, Daddy has a hot date tonight." She looked up and meowed again as if she approved!!! Darrel walked into his large Master bedroom and Margo jumped up on the king size bed laying in her normal spot! Darrel undressed and crawled up next to his beloved black cat, who he adored. Margo licked his hand and promptly went to sleep. Darrel laid there thinking about his day so far and was wondering how and when to tell Kurt his huge secret?? He drifted off and woke about an hour later, stretched and Margo moved up for a cuddle and kissed her daddy on the hand. He laid there thinking about what to wear for his hot date later that evening. Casual but sharp, and he got up and strolled to his massively walk-in closet. He thought for a moment and pulled out a pair of nice khaki casual slacks, and an emerald-green v-neck cashmere sweater that complimented his stunning green eyes, and a pair of beige Toms, sans socks. He then walked into his large marble bathroom and turned on the water of his large shower stall, it could easily have room for at least 4. The warm water cascaded down his firm, well-muscled, hairy body. He washed his hair with his favorite shampoo and the lathered his hairy body with lightly scented body soap. He paid careful attention to his cock and shaved balls and the scrubbed his wanting hole clean. He inserted a finger and it felt so good. He got rock hard and decided to have a good jack off to relieve some pressure. He stroked his 8+" cock and fingered his hot hairy hole soon shooting a huge load onto the shower wall. He had to hang onto the wall to keep from collapsing. He had shot that load while thinking of Kurt!! He finished his shower, dried off, and went to find underwear deciding to wear a jock strap instead. He pulled one out of his drawer and slipped it on. He applied deodorant, some Cool Water Cologne, his favorite, and slipped into his clothes. He felt sexy, pleased with his outfit, and was looking forward to meeting Kurt again the evening. He and Margo walked into the spacious kitchen where she meowed and sat by her clean porcelain food and water dishes on the floor. "Are you hungry, my Princess??" She meowed again and brushed up against her daddy's leg, purring loudly. He got out a can of Fancy Feast, her fav and placed it in the food dish. She walked over, sniffed it, and started to eat her dinner. Darrel, went over to the fridge and got out a bottle of Chardonnay and a crystal wine glass, opened the bottle and poured the glass ½ full and took a sip. It was his favorite, Sonoma Cutrer, from Napa Valley. He took his wine and walked into the living room and sat down and gazed out on the Bay. He hope this would work out as he was ready for a relationship, but then in he thought about his deep secret and how to tell Kurt. After all, he was a real man, but would he understand, when Darrel told him his secret?? Darrel was very much looking forward to seeing Kurt again. He liked old movies and loved both the stars headlining this movie. (I have seen this movie many times and it really great. If you have not seen it, I recommend it highly!!) It was now just about 4:30 and he had to drive out the St. Francis Woods area. Darrel went to down to the parking garage and was greeted by the parking attendant, Bruce. "Good afternoon, Mr. Smythe, I hope you're having a good day and best wishes for a wonderful evening." "Thanks, Bruce. I'm off to a movie tonight with a new friend. You have a nice evening too. Could you have my car brought around please!" Soon, his car appeared in front of him. It was a metallic black Tesla, with black leather inside, a Model S. They run about $110,000 and look great, and Darrel really enjoyed the luxury car!! He drove out of the garage and entered the address in the console as he headed to St. Francis Woods to pick up Kurt. As he drove he got more excited and was getting a slight hardon thinking about the hunk he was meeting and hoped it would lead to more evenings. The drive was easy, and Darrel had no trouble finding Kurt's house. It was a very large house, beautifully landscaped, painted white with dark green trim and shutters, and had a dark wood door, framed with long narrow windows of stained glass on each side. It was really quite stunning. He parked right in front and strolled up the brick walkway, lined with colorful flowers, to the front door. There was a large hanging light fixture hung from the porch ceiling. Before he could ring the bell, the door opened and there stood Kurt, all smiles and with a gleam in his eye!! "Good evening kind Sir, please enter and I have something to give you, if you don't mind!" "Depends on what it is but, I have an open mind." Kurt closed the door and stepped right in Front of Darrel, put his arms around his waist and kissed him on the lips. That soon morphed into a raging French kiss, enflaming both men. Totally breathless, Darrel pulled away slightly with a huge smile on his face, taking a deep breath, he pulled Kurt closer to him and the men kissed again passionately. Kurt stepped back and said, "Let's not get too carried away here as we have a movie to see and as much I want to just to go to the master bedroom and make love with you all night long...I don't ever do this on a first date. But the kiss was something I've thought about since we parted this afternoon. I hope you didn't mind, cuz I certainly didn't. Would like something to drink before we leave? I have a nice Sonoma Cutrer on ice." With a look of pleasure, "I have thought all afternoon about kissing you as well. How did you know that wine is my favorite Chardonnay? There are several other's too, but Cutrer my total favorite!!" Let's just head out, as my chariot awaits at the curb for you, but could I ask one favor please, before we leave? My I have another one of your fabulous kisses PLEASE? Kurt smiled and the men met again melding into each other's arms and a hot sexual kissed ensued!! Darrel escorted Kurt to the curb and Kurt exclaimed, "WOW!!! Nice chariot. I have always wanted to ride in one of these!" He was even more excited when a beep sounded, and the doors opened at once. "That's really cool!" Darrel guided Kurt into the car, and they were off to the movies. Darrel started with, "You, my handsome friend, have totally blown my socks off today. I have not met a more sexy, exciting, gorgeous man in a very long time. OH, and by the way, the kisses we shared were the best I've had in years, Mister!!! Kurt reached over and took Darrel's hand in his over the center console and looked at Darrel. "You also have blown me away. You are the most gorgeous man I have seen in years. You are so sexy and just ooze sex appeal. You are so my total type, and we haven't gotten into any particulars yet, well... regarding everything!! Your kisses were so hot I almost came when you kissed me back. I was really tempted to just forget the movie and go to bed, but I made a vow some time ago, that I would never do that again. I have done that several times and it ended up a HUGE FLASH in the pan and turned out to be the proverbial bust. `That was great! I've got your number and I will call you!!!' and then, of course, they never ever do!!! I vowed never to do that again. I think there is real chemistry with us and I for one would like to see where this may lead. I hope, that is alright with you??" Darrel squeezed Kurt's hand and smiled. "I totally agree with you on all that was just said. I would like to see where this goes too, so let's get to know each other and I sincerely hope it leads to a whole lot more of us seeing each other!! The men smiled at each other and continued to hold hands. They soon arrived at Fillmore St. and were lucky enough to find a parking place just down the street from the theater. Darrel parked and escorted Kurt out of the car. After the short walk to the theater, Kurt paid for the tickets to the movie and then inside, also sprang for popcorn and diet cokes for both. He asked if Darrel wanted anything else and he replied, "No, thank you!!" They went inside and found seats near the back on the aisle. They took off their jackets and got comfortable. They placed the drinks in cup holders and Darrel reached over and took Kurt's hand, raised it to his lips and kissed his fingers, smiling. The movie soon started, and they ate their buttered popcorn, had sips of their cokes and both thoroughly enjoyed the movie with great laughs. It was soon over, and they exited the theater and walked up the street a bit, to the Alta Plaza. It was an oldtime gay bar with a mixed crowd. Darrel ordered Chardonnay for them both and found a high table to sit. Darrel gave a big thank you for the delightful movie. He had really enjoyed it, but certainly not to be out done by the gorgeous company. He leaned over and with a huge smile, and kissed Kurt. Kurt totally reciprocated. Kurt asked, "I can only hope and pray you are not seeing anyone or dating anyone else because I truly feel there is great chemistry here between us!!! Darrel smiled and said... "The only person I am seeing right now is you and you are right, there is definitely a feeling I get from you!! But, I agree with you, that I DON'T want this to be a flash in the pan. Let's take this slow and date a while and see where we want this to lead. I want to know all about you. Where you grew up, are your parents comfortable having a gay son and where do they live? Where did you go to school, etc.?" Kurt started to laugh at the barrage of questions! "We can talk more about all of that later and I promise to fill you in, but those questions work both ways!! I also want to know all about you!! Where are you from, all about your parents, school, and your job. All to be answered in good time. I have completely enjoyed meeting you today. The lunch was fabulous, not to be outdone by your company. I really liked the movie, and the drink here was fantastic too!! But let's leave things here for now and continue this later the week. I have a busy day tomorrow and need to do some work at home for a new client coming in with (hopefully) a large order for a group of small luxury boutique hotels he owns and is remodeling. So, I need to call this a night. I am not trying to blow you off by any means and I most definitely want to see you again and sooner than later!!" They finished their drinks and left to go to the car. Again, Darrel opened the door for Kurt, got in and drove Kurt home. They held hands, each thinking how wonderful it was to have this chance meeting. They both wanted more! They soon arrived at Kurt's house and Darrel walked him the door. They stood there holding hands and gazing into each other's eyes. They both leaned forward and shared a very hot and steamy kiss. Neither wanted it to end, but it had to, just for now. "Good night you sexy man. Give me a jingle tomorrow if you have time and let's set up another date, for dinner this time. That work for you sexy??" Kurt reached over and pulled Darrel into another steamy kiss. He ended it, turned, unlocked his door, and smiled as he closed the door saying, "Sleep well, talk soon!!" He closed the door, leaving Darrel standing there under the porch light where he smiled, as he started for his car. Well, this ends the beginning of my story and hope everyone has enjoyed the first chapter. Much more to come. What is Darrel's big secret??? When will it be revealed? How will Kurt react to it??? There was no sex, so far... (other than some hot kissing!!) in this chapter but believe me it's cumming. LOL!!
