I was out dancing, to fantastic music, among friends such a happy place for me. I was enjoying the usual approaches and compliments I was getting, and flattered by the youth and cuteness of the boys that were hitting on me.
Then I spotted one I wanted, and I can't say why I picked this one. He was a little shorter, wearing an unbranded black ball cap and blank blue T-shirt, with a kind of young tradesman look, strong without being gymmed out. Not really my usual type, but there was something compelling about him.
I moved two people away from him and shadowed him for a long time, noticing that he wasn't with anyone, and he didn't have designs on the girls that surrounded him. He was clearly in his own world, dancing in a not-especially-intriguing, repetitive, style; head down and in the beat.
Then I hovered nearer to him, directly behind him, dying to reach out for the vertical hollow of his back, where his shirt hugged the muscles gating his spine as he danced. He didn't notice for so long! People passed, disrupted his space as they spoke to me, we were side by side, yet he didn't glance up and see me for the longest time. Finally his gaze accidently struck me, and I smiled my best nervous and awkward but I-want-to-do-all-kinds-of-things-to-you smile, and he got it.
The next hour was a maddeningly arousing slow dance of approach, as we got nearer and nearer. He was so different, though. He did not at any time reach out and pull me to him. And in pauses, neither of us reached out an introductory hand and asked for a name. We did not speak to each other for over an hour, although several people I knew spoke to me, so he would have heard my name. One of my earlier suitors also came up to me with grabby hands and I sent him off.
We only inched towards each other, looking up quickly once in awhile, sharing the subtlest of smiles and eyes met. I wanted to be behind him again, to touch him, since I was desperate to, and he wasn't taking liberties with me. Mostly I was in front of him, or beside him, and when I moved to switch places, he would turn with me. Fucking incredibly hot, the tension between us, especially not defused by speech. I got so wet, even before our hands brushed, or the crowd pushed us together.
I got a grip on the hem of his t-shirt once and tugged, then grabbed his side at the waist with a hard, desirous grip, switching to do the same on his other side, run my hand up higher over his lat and then down to just hook my fingers in that delicious hollow of his spine, and release him fast. I could feel him breathe, and wide-eyed he almost give me a first full smile. I spun away from him a step, trying to get a grip on myself again, and drifted a little into a more tightly packed area of people, glancing back at him to make sure he'd follow. He was there, his hands brushing my pants, sometimes my hands at my sides. When I could catch them I'd squeeze his wrist, a finger.
I could feel his face against my neck as he danced behind me, his hands so cautiously and casually touching me - more brushing me, and his legs against the back of mine, for moments. I got a finger hooked into his pocket; got to run my thumb down a few inches of his leg, feeling his hard thigh through his jeans; grab a little chunk of denim and quickly tug his hips into mine. We were dancing so close, and in time, but never pulling each other into the contact, just each leaning towards it and then pulling back. I thought I'd die from the want, yet I was so happy that he wasn't pushy, wasn't taking. I was dying to feel the whole length of his body against my back and legs, and he could have encircled my waist and crushed me to him at any time - I would have melted into him and probably lost all resolve - but it was almost hotter that he didn't. His legs against mine from behind - oh God. Such a tease, and so subtle. It was part of my intention for noone to notice, and I think we managed it.
Later we spoke, to share a water bottle, and he told me where he was from, but we never exchanged names. When I really fully saw his face and his smile, he was really cute, with a tentative shyness in his eyes.
He vanished on me. He told me he had to leave with his buddies for the moment, and he would be right back, but I didn't see him again.
That kind of interrupted attraction is so powerful, it just makes the want grow. I would have liked to get his name, just tell him how much fun that was and that I thought he was sexy, and leave. No more than that innocent stimulation and fantasy fodder, but no less, either, and I got denied. I want him so badly, but everything else now is only going to happen in my head, in my bed alone. Except now I'm passionately hoping to see him again b/c it didn't finish "right".
I believe he meant to return, but something prevented him, or we just missed each other as I roamed the party as well. I speculate that he was very surprised that I chose and pursued him the way I did. I suspect that would be a very unusual experience for him. I'm guessing that's he may be quite shy, or he may have a relationship that wasn't representing that night (like I do), b/c he definitely had the search- and-destroy setting switched Off.
But I am very grateful for such a sweet, erotic connection to happen in the dark with the dirty bass pumping into us.
I love men. I love men so much . I love them hungrily, greedily, with their hard beauty, and in all their wonderfully difficult and vulnerable variety.
