Gay Fantasy: Screwing the straight guy – by Alex Hogan

© 2011 Alex Hogan

Luke works at the desk in front of me.  He’s been here for about a year.  He’s a decent enough guy, if you keep off the topic of sex.  I do; he doesn’t.

He was matey for the first few weeks, inviting me to the hotel across the street for a drink on Fridays after work.  Then he found out I was gay.  He avoided me for about a month, but seemed to forget after that and invited me back to the pub.

Then the gay-jibing started.  Just light-hearted teasing.  I was happy enough with it first; it seemed to indicate he accepted me, and allowed me to be me, to be openly gay.

But I tired of it quickly; the constant ribbing, the constant referrals to how I must be tempted to give him a poke.  He’s lean – works out – has a cute mop of unruly hair and an engaging twisted smile.  But he’s straight.  There is no pheromone display.  I don’t think about it.  I’ve got a life outside of my sexual orientation.

One Saturday he invited me to his flat to watch the footy while his girlfriend was away for awhile.  I bought along a six pack to share and we settled in.  I was looking forward to a good night – he barracks for Carlton and I barrack for Collingwood.

And it was a good night, except for the constant jibing over the footy players’ sexuality which I did my best to ignore.  Although when he asked me who I liked, I admitted Pendles was hot.  As each beer went down the jibes increased.

“Is he as hot as me?” he asked.

“Hotter.”

“No way!”

“Bound to be bigger,” I said.  The beer had got to me.

“How would you know!”

 I sighed. Why was I letting myself be dragged into this?  “I’ve learnt to peek from the side of my eyes,” I said as I continued staring at the TV.

“Would he be a top or a bottom?”

“Top of course.  Only Carlton players bottom.”

“Give over.”  He shoved me, laughing.  “To prove you’re wrong – if Collingwood loses, I’ll bugger you.”

“Bugger off!”

“No, honest.  I know you’ve wanted me all year.”

“…”

He took a final swig of the can of beer he was holding then opened another.  He continued, “and I’ll be a decent bloke, if Collingwood wins, then I’ll let you bugger me.  There; how about that?”

I turned to look at him.  His hair was getting long and the black curls teased his eyes.  The room was warm from the over-stoked heater; he only wore a Tee. It was tight, revealing his muscular arms. I could see the faint outline of his nipples under the thin material.  His free hand, the one not holding the tinny, was rubbing against his groin.  He gave me a wicked smile.

I put my beer can down on the coffee table.  “As I said before, ‘mate’, bugger off!”

I left the flat.
