"Go ahead and take a seat, Joel" Dan said. Joel slowly went to the couch and sat down. "Come on Joel. Relax. It's not like I'm gonna bite you." There was a long pause "Actually I may bite, but it won't hurt too badly." Dan winked and took a seat beside Joel. He slid his hand gently over Joel's leg. Joel's automatic reaction was to jump up to get his hand off of him. Dan cocked his head at Joel. "Sorry… instinct. Not really used to being touched by someone who isn't my wife."
Joel swallowed hard. Dan smiled softly at him 'That's okay. It will take time… you'll get used to it though." Joel pushed down the vomit-y feeling he had in the pit of his stomach. He'd have to get used to this? Joel slowly sat back down and allowed Dan to place his big meaty hand back in his thigh. Joel stiffened, but forced himself to sit there.
They sat there for a long time. Dan kept saying "Relax" and had even begun to move his hand slowly up and down Joel's thigh. He never made a move to grab for Joel's crouch though. Joel was trying to get himself to relax, but he just couldn't get his muscles to comply. He couldn't get over the fact his asshole neighbor was touching his thigh. After a few more minutes Dan stopped and moved his hand up Joel's arm. He rubbed up and down a few times and moved closer.
Joel flinched backwards and Dan moved away again. "It's okay." He said in a light tone. He moved his hand to intertwine with Joel's. Joel let him hold his hand… it was much better than having his hand on his thigh. Dan smiled up at Joel. He tightened his hand in his and rubbed his thumb over Joel's a couple of times. "See this is nice… you are starting to relax." Joel hadn't noticed, but he wasn't tense anymore.
He wasn't fond of holding Dan's hand, but it was better than what he thought he was going to do. Suddenly the sound of a car door opening echoed through the house. Dan squeezed Joel's hand before letting go. "Looks like our time is up…I'll see you tomorrow though." Joel fake smiled at Dan before getting up and heading to the door. "One more thing… you were here to watch the basketball game I had recorded." Joel nodded before leaving. His wife asked briefly why he was there, but didn't much care about the semantics. Joel went home and waited on his wife.
He had time to think as he waited. Dan had touched him a little, but that was really it. For a moment he thought Dan was about to kiss him which made his stomach churn. Thankfully the man's lips didn't end up anywhere near him. Joel was now trying to get the thought of Dan holding his hand out of his head. This was all getting too weird for him.
Shelia entered the house and located her husband. "So…?" she asked. She wasn't sure if she wanted to know, but knowing was better than just imagining all the things they had done. "All he did was touch my thigh… I think he tried to kiss me, but I pulled away and we held hands" "You held hands? That was it?" Joel shrugged. Shelia narrowed her eyes "He wants you Joel… like not just to fuck… he actually wants you." Joel made a face that showed how disgusting he thought that was. Shelia sighed "Did he ask to meet again?" Joel thought for a moment "He did say something about tomorrow, but I don't know…"
