So today I was on a business trip with a few colleagues. We are out of the county and as could be expected, trying to adapt to a different culture and different social norms.
We had a very professional dinner, and then things go, well it got a little more social. Suddenly I found myself having to make a pretty serious decision. Do I stay and accept what could happen next, or do I politely excuse myself back to my hotel room? What was to happen next was not business...but consensual behavior between adults sharing a passion.
It all happened so fast that I didn't really know how to handle things, so I just tried to stay cool an act like I've been there before and I knew what I was doing. After a little more discussion, I realized it was for real, and it was time to become a man.
I looked my coworker straight in the eye, and obliged. As we toasted, we knew that the course we were on would forever change our relationship. It was my first time, and will always be memorable. Like many of you, I didn't really know what was expected of me. Fast, slow, medium pace? Start off slow and build up to a strong finish? Just play it cool and do what seems right based on the feedback from the other person?
In the end we finished at about the same time, and both let out a satisfied sigh....we knew the night was complete, and we knew that what we had just shared was special, and something that wouldn't happen very often.
We exchanged the usual expression of satisfaction...grins of excitement and enjoyment, sighs of relief, even a strong craving for a cigarette or cigar...as if the weight of the world was lifted off our shoulders. The undeniable eye contact that meant we had connected on a level that few had connected before.
It was my first taste of.....
Pappy VanWinkle bourbon:
It is likely that this will be one of the few times in my life I'll experience this pleasure. And I must say, it lived up to the hype!! That was the best 15 minutes of bourbon that I've ever experienced!!!
