Beautiful men making beautiful music

Andrea Bocelli, Matteo Bocelli – Fall On Me 

I thought sooner or later
The lights up above
Will come down in circles and guide me to love
But I don’t know what’s right for me
I cannot see straight
I’ve been here too long and I don’t want to wait for it

Fly like a cannonball, straight to my soul
Tear me to pieces
And make me feel whole
I’m willing to fight for it and carry this weight
But with every step
I keep questioning what it’s true
Fall on me
With open arms
Fall on me
From where you are
Fall on me
With all your light
With all your light
With all your light
Presto una luce ti illuminerà
Seguila sempre, guidarti saprà
Tu non arrenderti, attento a non perderti
E il tuo passato avrà senso per te
Vorrei che credessi in te stesso, ma sì
In ogni passo che muoverai qui
È un viaggio infinito
Sorriderò se
Nel tempo che fugge mi porti con te
Fall on me
Ascoltami
Fall on me
Abbracciami
Fall on me
Finché vorrai
Finché vorrai
Finché vorrai
Finché vorrai
I close my eyes
And I’m seeing you everywhere
I step outside
It’s like I’m breathing you in the air
I can feel you’re there
Fall on me
Ascoltami
Fall on me
Abbracciami
Fall on me
With all your light
With all your light
With all your light

Meet #5 Sneezy

Scheduling is always fascinating with Sneezy. He is eager to meet… how about next week? Sure. Then something comes up. Switch to the following week. That doesn’t work. Then he disappears for a bit. Then he wants to meet… TONIGHT! Luckily I can usually do it.

I found him sitting at a corner table at PF Chang’s at the mall. He looked dapper in a dress shirt and khakis. I wore my blue top and blue slacks, having rushed over here from work.

We ordered drinks – a strawberry cucumber limeade mocktail for me (this is hand-down the best mocktail around) and a Martini, no vermouth and olives for him.  They rarely get this right but tonight he said it was good!

He chatted about a book he’s been reading “Changing your mind” about history of LSD.  He is so well-read!  I mentioned an article in the Boston Globe about a research study of fantasies and how it was different from how mine work.  He asked me to send it to him.

We ordered dinner:

  • Hot & sour soup for both of us – their version is a beefy treat
  • Dynamite shrimp and Spicy green beans for me
  • He had the spicy eggplant stir fry with brown rice

He always orders something healthy.  He’s lost quite a bit of weight since I saw him.  I told him he looks fit.  He said he’s been biking a lot.

He told me about his office move to the suburbs.  He is not happy about it but the rents are going sky high in the city so he will start having to commute a few days a week.  He told me about growing up in Boston, walking to everything or taking the trolleys, going to college in the city, working in the city… so odd for him to start working somewhere else!

He said he’s been sad… he thinks it’s because of three things – he misses his girlfriend, and he’s having business troubles and politics.  This is the first time he has admitted to anything like this.  He’s usually so upbeat.  He also said the national news is upsetting him and causing rifts in his family, so he’s cut down on paying attention, started listening to music rather than watching the news.  I told him that made a lot of sense.  I mentioned going to see a Pops concert and suggested their latest compilation of The Pops John Williams Album.  I also mentioned Facebook pages that make me smile every day and promised to send him the links:

  • Andy Borowitz – the political humorist from the New Yorker
  • UPS Dogs – Delivery folks and the dogs they meet on their routes
  • Bangor Maine Police Department – amazing essays about life and Maine

He told me he used to go to Maine a lot and it would be nice to be reminded of those trips.  I told him about seeing Andy Borowitz at Symphony Hall and laughing so hard and how that helped.  

The waiter asked if we wanted dessert.  I was not interested in the food but wanted more time to talk, so I asked if he had time and he said yes, so I ordered the Banana spring rolls with ginger ice cream. He had said he was fulled, but when it arrived he nibbled away on almost half of it!   
He asked about my recent adventures with men.  I told him about my meets and disappointment with Reggie and how I thought I might be done with Ashley Madison because it hurts so much when men go silent and I’ve had two in a row I wanted so badly and they disappeared without a word.  He said he doesn’t log in very often because all he sees are the same few women and bots.
He asked about my retirement plans and I told him I am on track for sometime next year, maybe May or June?  He was envious!

He paid the check and I thanked him profusely.  
He offered to walk me to the car.  I told him I was parked on a side street, so it might not be private enough for much playing around, but he said he wanted to be sure I got there safely.  It was raining gently so I opened my umbrella.  He asked to hold it for me, so we walked close together in the drizzle.

I unlocked the car with my key fob remote and he opened the door and handed me into the driver’s seat. He jumped into the passenger seat.  He grabbed me for a kiss! He is such a good kisser!  There was something so hot about the desire and passion expressed in his “CAN NOT WAIT” action.  It is fascinating to me how he is so proper and careful and then…WHAM!  Hee!

While we were kissing, he played with my left breast under my top over my bra, then pulled up my bra and tweaked my nipple. I pulled up my top so he could see and he dove down to suck on it! He looked at the hard nipple and grinned.

He put his right hand down my pants and played with my clit at just the right speed and pressure. Mmm…. I squirmed.  He whispered, “So wet… so so wet.”  I winked and he giggled.

He kissed me more, then played in my pants more.

I rubbed on his cock in his pants. I said it was too public to take it out and he nodded. I pressed it and talked about what I would do it we were alone – licking, sucking, pulling, twisting, stroking… I asked if he remembers me sucking him? He nodded and smiled. (I’m so glad he had fond memories when what I mostly recall is him sneezing and his eyes swelling shut because he was allergic to the cat dander on me!)

I described what doggy style sex is like with me… him sliding in… and out. Squeezing my ass to pull me on… and off. Watching his cock go in and out. Looking in a mirror at my face, my chest swaying as I press back against him. He started moaning. Said he could imagine… I asked if he liked me talking to him like that. He moaned and said he definitely did! I said I do some phone sex so I’ve honed my sexy patter.  He complimented me on my skills.  

He kissed me again then said he had to go. He was glad I had parked a few blocks away so the walk would calm him down before he got to his car. He said he was going straight to bed to play. He talked about his grandkids, said he’d be with them tomorrow.

I told him I’d send him links to the things we had discussed. I thanked him again for dinner and “dessert.” He giggled, said he would see me again soon. (He always says that but it never happens) To put a timeline in his mind, I did a quick calculation – counted the months since our last dinner in February – 6 – then counted forward and said that would mean if the holidays pass and we haven’t met, he should think of me in January!

He nodded, grabbed me for another long kiss and took off. I watched him walk away until he turned the corner.

I sat checking my phone, taking deep breaths and wondering why we have never gone any further.  At least he didn’t talk about getting a hotel this time.  It used to tick me off but I’ve gotten to the place where I can enjoy dinner and conversation and a little more, and help him out a little and not worry about when I’ll see him.  It does puzzle me that he does not avail himself of the opportunity to have sex, when he says he is starved for it and it is clear I am too.  Makes me wonder if I am somehow unappealing?  Or if he thinks it’s not cheating if there’s no penetration?  A mystery!  Ah well… nice to be kissed and groped!

Re: Shy and retiring

Ah, yes, the cats. You’d have to call an ambulance!

Back from NH. Love the state, should have been planted there, somewhere on the south border.
Do you enjoy classical music? Have had a very intense week (very intense 10 years, in fact!), and was fidgety/really depressed tonight, unable to take solace even in music (pop culture music). Have been listening to Beethoven’s 6th for the past half hour, and it’s as if I took a sedative.
It must be the divinity of mathematics, which is at the essence of music.
Peace,
