Chapter 33
“Message received,” Dan said. “Deal.”
A couple hours later, they stood at Dan’s door saying goodbye.
“That pizza delivery guy was sure cute. I still think we should have invited him to join us for dessert,” Steve said.
Dessert had consisted of another romp in Dan’s bed culminating in very satisfying orgasms while they lay in a sixty-nine position.
Dan chuckled, not sure if Steve was serious or not about the pizza kid. “Are you sure you can’t stay the night? I’d really like that.”
“I would, too, but I have to get home to Midas. He’s probably going nuts by now.”
“Next time, bring him. I’m sure he’d be fine with Lad and Lady.”
“When’s next time?” Steve asked, putting his arms around Dan and pressing his crotch against Dan.
“Soon, I hope” Dan responded. “I’m on call next weekend. But I get comp days for that during the week, if you’re free.”
“That would work for me. Call me and we’ll work it out.”
They got up, showered, and dressed. They kissed at the door and Dan walked Steve to his car, waving as Steve drove away.
“I could fall for him,” Dan told Lad and Lady as they got ready for their nightly walk. The two dogs sat listening patiently, cocking their heads from side to side as Dan talked.
“He’s hot as hell and we’ve got a lot in common. He likes doggies. We like the same kind of music, we have the same taste in movies. He’s a professional: a fifth grade teacher. He doesn’t care much for sports. And,” Dan added as they walked out the door, “the sex is great. He’s gonna bring his dog next time. You guys are really gonna like him.”
Throughout the dog walk Dan continued to ramble on about Steve to the dogs. Lad and Lady were much less attentive than they had been in the kitchen before the walk. Evidently they found the scent messages left by other dogs more stimulating than Dan’s continued babble about the man with whom he’d just spent the last few hours.
Dan found he was repeating the same bits of information over and over, making him realize he actually didn’t know much about Steve at all.
Damn! I wish we’d stuck to the plan and got to know each other before hopping in the sack, Dan thought, as he and the dogs walked up the drive back to the house.
The long evening spent in Dan’s bed had precluded the exchange of much information beyond superficial things such as likes and dislikes. The sex had been so fantastic Dan found it hard to be objective about how he felt about Steve. He felt he could easily fall in love with the guy. But was it because of Steve the man, whom he hardly really knew, or because of Steve’s handsome face, wonderful body, and the fact Steve’s kisses were pure heaven?
Dan and the dogs climbed into bed. Dan lay on his back, legs crossed at the ankles, hands clasped behind his head, erect cock pointing to the ceiling where images of the activities that had taken place in this very room were being replayed.
Dan let his mind dwell on them for a while before a thought struck him. I don’t even know his last name!
That reminded Dan of his experience with Rocky. It made him uncomfortable. He hadn’t gotten Rocky’s last name either.
At least this time I have a phone number, he reminded himself.

The next morning Dan called Steve. The call went directly to voicemail. “Hi, this is Steve. Leave a message.” Dan told him what a great time he’d had the night before. Then he asked Steve to call him.
Steve didn’t call back that day or the next, even after Dan had called again and left a similar message. That evening, as Dan was dishing up the dogs dinner, he complained to Lad and Lady that he should have been more careful and not let lust dictate his decisions. “I should have gotten to know Steve better before hopping into bed. I should have listened to my gut. I felt from Steve’s profile the guy was kinda iffy. Well, I’ve learned my lesson. I’m not gonna let my horniness let the cart get before the horse again.”
Lad whined and Lady barked.
“Glad you agree with me,” Dan said, knowing full well their response to his jabbering was impatience to get to their dinners, not sympathy for his disappointment that things didn’t seem to have worked out with Steve.
That night in bed, however, despite his admonishment to himself that Steve was a mistake, as he reached his peak, Dan’s nightly pre-sleep wank ended with images of Steve’s handsome face and well-toned body racing through his mind.
