off. Frankly, Reece was ready to throw Billy on the table and devour him. Reece ordered one; too, he wasn’t into all that veggie stuff that the rest of California was into. He made it clear to Billy that enjoyed whatever he had a mind too, and didn’t really care what anyone thought.

Billy told him about a girl he had dated once. He had chased her for two years before she’d consent to go out with him. He took her to the finest steak place in Virginia and she ordered hers rare. “Not just rare mind you, but raw! The waiter even came out and told her by law that they had to cook it five seconds on each side, and she almost changed her order. I got one look at this gorgeous blonde chewing on this defrosted meat wiping the blood off her lips…it’s no wonder I’m Gay!” They both laughed.

Reece told him about Kara, how at age 13 for a year she’d just walk up to him, rip his pants down and sit on his cock. “We never exchanged two words, not even ‘Good Fuck’! Hell I thought I was a stud back then.”

“Who says you aren’t now?” Billy blushed as he cut into his salad, just a garden salad. Reese got tickled at the look on the waiter’s face when Billy told him to hold all “the foofie stuff and just bring a plate of lettuce, tomatoes and throw on some carrots”.

“How’s your salad?” Reece teased.

“Just fine. Wish they had ranch dressing though, this raspberry poppy seed crap is for the birds!” Billy turned a little red. “A guess I can be pretty demanding.”

“That can be a good thing and a bad thing.”

“I guess”

“Listen, Reece, I want to tell you something right up front, I hope it doesn’t spoil our dinner, but I want you to think about it, okay?”

“That sounds ominous.”

“I don’t mean it to be, but well…” holding up a bite of unfoofie salad, “…I want what I want.”

“Fire away.”

“Here goes. I’ve only had sex with four different guys in my life, and I’ve not had one one night stand…”

“Not one?”

“Not with a guy… and I don’t want to start now. If the only thing you have in mind is a good balling, do me a favor let’s continue having a wonderful dinner, ride home and give me a nice little kiss at the door and go home.”

He put his fork down, and Reese pushed his plate aside. “I’m not promising primrose cottages and hearts and flowers forever, I’m not that dumb…”

“Billy, the last thing you are is dumb….”

“Reece, I’m not even sure what going to happen once I get on that plane Monday morning, but if you’d like to see what might possibly be, then I’m all yours….anything you want. But if you’re intentions are, well, wanna get fucked…the answer is no.”

Reece folded his hands on the table and looked at Billy. “I’m not sure what to say. I’ve never really dated a guy before, never thought about it.”

“But you’ve slept with guys, and you asked me out.”

“Yes and yes, I just never thought of it so…I don’t know…for lack of a better word, bluntly before.”

“I understand. I guess
