Chapter 24

“Come on Dad, please? Honest, we’ll be good”

“Well Keith, I don’t know, I mean it is for a whole week, and well, I should check with Seth first, I mean it is his house.”

“Yeah, but I mean this way Billy and Mike won’t have to look after us all the time, I mean they have to want to do things without us little kids around.”

“Well what about us? I mean I thought we’d do stuff together”

“Yeah we will, but I mean come on, you will be away at work during the day, what I am I supposed to do? Play video games all day or bug Billy and Mike?”

Chris stared at his son, seeing the pleading in his eyes and wondering exactly what was really behind this intense pressure to get his friend Tommy to join him at the house for spring break. He felt so out of depth, his heart wanted him to give in, to simply say ‘yes’ no matter what the request, but a part of him said that he was the adult here, he had to set guidelines.

Keith could see his dad weakening, and he smiled inside, knowing that Tommy’s plan was working to a ‘T’. Damn he should of thought of this sooner, but he was too excited about actually having time with his dad to have thought this out. He was glad Tommy had come up with a plan, he liked being with Tommy, they could at least talk about stuff that no one else would understand.

“Well, I’ll call Seth and see if its okay with him, but won’t Tommy’s parents object to him spending the whole week away from home with you?”

Keith was ready for this, and he knew that he had won and Tommy would be spending the week with him. They were going to have so much fun together, swimming and stuff, specially the stuff. He grinned as he thought about it then looked at his father, well maybe he would have fun being with him too, at least he seemed to want to spend time with him, but it was most likely cause he felt bad for him, least that was how Tommy explained it. Tommy would know.

“Nah, his parents don’t care, they never bug him about being around.”

“Oh? Well still, I think I need to talk with either his Mother or Father and make sure that they approve.”

“They will, so I can tell Tommy then?”

“Okay son, but only that I am going to check, and only if everyone agrees, don’t go getting his hopes up.”

“I know you’ll work it out, I am sure Mr Bradford won’t object, I think he likes having little kids around.”

Chris was a bit taken aback by the grown up words of his son. Damn, where was the kid getting all this stuff? Maybe he was watching way too much television, and wasn’t he starting to sound like quite the parent?

Staring at the phone was helping him, he reached into his private drawer and brought out the small cardboard picture frame and stared at the solemn face that stared back at him. He had taken the picture from an older magazine that had featured the latest crusade against drunk drivers, Seth Bradford was the local advocate for harsher penalties and so he had been featured in the article. Chris had felt like a stupid school kid as he cut out the photo and then went and had it laminated and placed in this cardboard frame. Least it was something for him to look at, and now that he had the real person, well he still liked to sit back and look at the picture.

He enjoyed searching out the lines on the face, the way the eyes just seemed to pierce right into his heart, as if they were fully aware of his desires, but he knew that was just his dreaming. Mind you at times, it did feel like they were connecting on a completely different plain. Looking at the solid face, the set jaw, he wondered if there would ever be a time in his life when he could have a real picture of Seth, set in a proper picture frame and have it displayed right there, smack on the end of his desk?

Looking at the end of his desk, he saw the small square box cube that had Keith’s pictures. Six of them, all from his school pictures, none from a professional. Well, maybe this week he could take some time and get a real photograph of him and Keith, to have on his desk. Thinking of that, a small tear formed in his eye, as his mind wondered what Keith really thought of him? Did he hate him for leaving? Was he mad at him for not being around? Did he feel disappointment at not knowing his father better, or in not being able to call him when he had a problem?

He carried a lot of guilt inside him, and at times he would watch the way Billy would sit next to Seth, or even Mike and his heart would ache. There he was, sharing that bond with Seth, while his own son sat alone in his room or out on the front yard. Maybe he could have tried harder with his wife, but he doubted if that would have gotten them anywhere except maybe more angrier and Keith more unhappy.

No, the divorce was the right thing to do; it was just that no matter how much he hurt at losing his marriage, it was Keith who got hurt the worst. Here he was, starting over with a man who was everything he could want in a partner, and from what he had heard, his wife also was starting fresh with “Mac”. It was Keith who was left to fend for himself, to spend his time alone or with his friends.

Come to think of it, Keith didn’t seem to have all that many friends either, all he ever talked about was this Tommy kid. Shaking himself, he reached out for the phone to call Seth and then call Tommy’s parents to confirm their approval. Least he could do was give his son some of the things he wanted, and it seemed like having Tommy join them for the spring break would make Keith happy. God, the kids of divorced parents sure figured out the angles quick. He knew he would have to watch himself; Keith was getting too damn smart.

“Hi Seth…”

“Hey, what’s up? You sound down, everything okay Chris?”

“Huh? Oh yeah, well, sort of, its Keith…”

“What? He doesn’t want to spend the week at the house?”

“No, he does, but well, he wants to have his school friend stay too…”

“So?”

“So? Shit, you really want two 13 year old kids running around the place all week long?”

“Two, three, doesn’t matter much, I still don’t get any all week so sure, why not”

“You crazy?”

“Hehe, crazy? Well I don’t know Chris, I have been called lots of things, dour, conservative, even menacing, but crazy? Nope, don’t think so, least not yet”

“God, you are something else, I never would have, shit, you sure its okay? I mean seriously, one 13 year old is plenty to handle, two could be a real headache.”

“Oh I guess us older types can manage, besides I can always call in reinforcements”

“Reinforcement? Huh?”

“Billy and Mikey, they seem to have a way with Keith, they sure have had fun the three times he’s been here.”

“Yeah, you have super kids there, but Seth, I mean okay twice was for a weekend and once was just an overnighter, this is going to be for shit, almost ten days, won’t they be a pissed at me?”

“Well, so what if they are? Come on Chris, you know they won’t be mad, so they have to keep their bedroom door closed, it isn’t like they have no privacy.”

“I know Seth, it is just that well, it has to be hard enough for Billy to see me there now, and here I come bringing some 13 year old that cramps his style and now I am bringing a second one. He has to be pissed at me”

“I’ll talk to him Chris, and to be honest, I don’t think he is pissed, okay maybe a little but I think Mike can take care of that for us.”

“Oh yeah, he has to be upset too, I mean, come on Seth, maybe I should just get an apartment that lets kids stay, I mean for these times”

“Fuck that, besides I thought you accountant types hated spending money, come on Chris, it won’t be that bad, besides maybe I’ll let Billy and Mike go up to the beach house for the weekend, that will soothe any ruffled feathers.”

“You think?”

“Yep, so what’s this kid’s name?”

“Tommy, I have to phone his parents, but the way Keith talks, they don’t seem to be real hands on parents either, guess it’s a sign of our times.”

“Shit, yeah I guess, okay, so what time you going to be home tonight? You know, it is our last night of our freedom too.”

“haha, yeah it is isn’t it, shit I don’t know how I am going to last that long without being with you.”

“Well actually, hmm, let me think on this but I just might have an idea or two, depends on Mike.”

“Mike? Huh?”

“Never mind, let me think about it some, so what time?”

“oh, 7 I suppose”

“Well, I have a 5 o’clock meeting which should be finished by half past six, tell you what, why don’t you come up to my office and we’ll go to the club for dinner instead of home.”

“The club? Okay, sure if you want”

“I do”

“Okay, well see you then”

Seth put the phone down, and reached down to adjust his pants. Shit, every time he talked to or thought about Chris, he found himself sporting major wood, as the boys would say. He laughed a little, wondering what they would think if they knew his plans for tonight?  Taylor would probably be shocked, Billy would maybe squint a little but be happy, Mike, well Mike would grin knowing that he would have the house to just him and Billy.

Glancing up, he stared into the portrait of his wife, and smiled. She would definitely approve of his little plan for tonight, and she would also approve of him letting Chris bring Keith and his friend over for the week. Looking at the picture, he felt his heart skip a little, a sense of emptiness seemed to wash over him for a second, then he shrugged it off, knowing she would not want him dwelling anymore. Their time together had been too short, but he was realizing that time was what you made of it.

Many couples spent their entire lives together and yet never had what he and Christina had. The love that was their bond could never be replaced or for that matter even described, yet he felt that somehow, with Chris, he was being given another chance at the same happiness that he had found in Christina’s arms. It was strange to him, to think that a man could give him what his wife had given him, but then, if you really did think about it, love was an emotion, how could it be gender conscious?

That was the trouble with a lot of the anti gay philosophy. They figured love was only possible between two opposite sexes, which was a contradiction in itself. Love was an emotion, not guided by some rational thought; hell, it defied rational thought most of the times, so why couldn’t it happen to people of the same sex?

His eyes still staring at her picture, Seth sat back in his leather chair and wondered if what he and Christina had was a sham or was what he and Chris enjoying the sham? If you listened to the big experts, he was making a choice to be gay, but then was he gay? There was no doubt that the sex with Chris was mind blowing in more than one aspect, yet so had been the sex between him and Christina.

In college, he had screwed around a lot, shit he was one stud back then but when he met Christina, things changed. Thoughts of having sex with someone else never crossed his mind once he met her, the way she smiled, looked, was enough to get him hot and horny, and yet now, so was the thought of Chris. So, was he gay? Had it all been a lie?

If you believed in all the crap from Mother Church or the so-called Religious Right, one of his relationships was a lie, yet in his heart he knew that both were real. His love would Christina could never be equalled, it was total and complete. The ground she walked on was like holy dirt to him, there was nothing he would refuse, and if he could, he would have changed places in a heartbeat with her if it meant her living and him being the one to die. So, no that was real, it was no lie.

Now, here was Chris, and all he could think of was how to make him happy, how to see him smile.  He put his whole life at risk, his family, his job, all of it, so he could be with Chris, was that any different than the willingness to trade places with his departed wife? He didn’t think so, which meant that this wasn’t a lie either, so maybe the problem wasn’t with him, maybe the problem was that all those who opposed gay lifestyles simply didn’t know what love really was?

Shit, he was starting to sound like Billy now. He smiled at the idea of sounding like Billy, and he knew that Billy was truly a chip off the old block. He had such passion for things that were wrong, and he voiced it very loudly, but if he was honest, Billy also was more controlled in his objections. You could see the anger in his face, but he wouldn’t let himself become emotional about it in public, yet Taylor on the other hand, he wore it on his sleeve at times.

Thinking of them both, he realized that Billy was much like him on the surface, while Taylor was very much like his wife on the surface. Yet if you scratched beneath the surface, both of his boys had a burning passion to set things right, to battle against all odds. To tilt at windmills, his wife said, was a noble calling and given the chance, he himself had tilted at a few windmills in his time, so no, the boys had a good mix of both parents. How the hell had he been so lucky? Looking at the picture, the answer was obvious to him. He had been so lucky because there was a lot of love in their house, it had gone missing for a few years, but it was back now, back with a vengeance.

Seth picked up the phone and dialled the number, making his plans for tonight take shape. Maybe he couldn’t change the world, but he could at least give his family and the man in his life some pleasure, and when it was all said and done, that really was his role.

“So, what’s up?”

“Huh? Oh it was dad, he’s not coming home tonight, can you believe it? He and Chris are going to stay in a hotel room in town, man he is getting really weird”

“Who? Your dad?”

“Yeah, I mean why spend the night in some hotel room?”

“Gee, I don’t know, so maybe he can fuck Chris’ brains out without worrying if you gonna stick your nose in the room?”

“Oh yeah, like as if I do that”

“Well, no, but you have wanted to”

“Shit, that was purely out of research, and don’t tell me you aren’t a little bit curious”

“Okay, yeah kind of I guess, but shit, they are going to be celibate for almost ten days, shit I don’t think I could do that”

“Yeah well it’s not like we gonna be doing it all that much either”

“Oh get off it Billy, we can always sneak off to our spot in the bushes, and we can put a chair or two against the door.”

“yeah right, I can see that, oh, dad said that Keith was bringing one of his friends with him, so we got two kids to take care of”

“I thought you liked Keith”

“I do, doesn’t it bother you though?”

“What? That we have to maybe fuck in the bedroom instead of every other room of the house? No, I’ll take you wherever I can, haha”

“I am serious Mike, doesn’t it kind of tick you off, even a little?”

“Okay Billy, yes it does, but what can I do about it? Kick up a fuss with your dad and Chris? What is that going to do but make them unhappy?”

“I know, but shit Mike, I mean, dad really doesn’t know this Chris all that much, least not this way, now he’s got him bringing school friends to stay here, how’s that supposed to be?”

“Man, you still not sure about Chris? How can you still be worried about him?”

“easy, I mean come on, dad has been so wrapped up in losing mom, now he’s running around banging on walls in the middle of the night and renting hotel rooms, you really going to tell me that’s normal?”

“Hmm, well I know there have been times I wouldn’t have minded taking you to a motel room hehe”

“Mike, come on, I am serious.”

“Yeah I can tell, and maybe that’s the problem Billy, maybe you should lighten up and just leave all that stuff for your dad to deal with, I mean come on he is ancient, he can look after himself.”

“Ancient? Yeah almost fossilized at 40 but no, I don’t know, I like Chris, he seems okay, I guess it just has all happened so fast, what with him and Taylor making up, then Chris, now Keith and track and all that stuff.”

“Well it has been rather a fun few months hasn’t it?”

“Yep, but least I got to spend it with you.”

“Sucking up now, aren’t you?”

“Yep, looks like you don’t object”

“Me? I don’t know, should I?”

“Haha, well too late for that, least if that hard cock sticking up pointing to the ceiling is any indication”

“Pig, well I don’t see yours drooping too much there blondie, so what you going to do about it?”

“Me? Always up to me, isn’t it?”

“Nope, so why don’t you just get that hot bod of yours off that chair and over here onto this bed and we’ll see if I can’t make you pound a few walls…. Or you too chicken?”

Billy looked towards Mike, feeling his heart start to race faster, knowing his pulse was rising and that his body would soon be shaking with anticipation and excitement. Funny how just looking at him, nude or dressed, his body always would get this sort of tremor happening. He was still learning about love and the fear that one day he would wake up and find Mike gone still haunted him, but he was learning, slowly he was coming to accept that this was real, not a dream or a momentary occurrence In his life.

As he started to walk over to Mike, he could feel the love filling the room once more with its fragrance. He saw the obvious signs of Mike’s love and desire, but he also thought he could feel more than that. It was like he could almost hear Mike’s heart telling him to put aside his worries, to lay to rest his fears, that it would all be okay.

Mike opened his arms as Billy came to him, and he felt like once more he had been able to reach through to that special place inside of Billy. He had a raging hard on, but it didn’t feel like he was just horny, it was more like he wanted to feel whole, to be the one person that could only happen if he and Billy were together.

The slow touch of Billy as he crawled onto the bed sent waves of joy through both bodies. They both could feel the other shake a little as the tremors of love started to race through their arteries. In some ways Mike felt like it wasn’t blood that flowed through him at these times but instead was his and Billy’s love for each other.

Strange, how sometimes their passion simply was major physical action and then there were times like now, when they took their time, held each other, and just let their inner self do all the work. Mike could feel Billy’s body as it curled into his, their arms around each other, holding softly the warm flesh of that held their love.

It seemed like hours would pass as they just stared into each other’s eyes when in fact it was only seconds. Time would stand still at these times, least in their hearts it seemed like that. Mike could feel that Billy had concerns, was confused and hell, if he admitted it so did he, but that was the one thing he found about being gay. You had all these doubts, all these questions and really you couldn’t talk about it.

There just wasn’t anyone you could go and talk to. Like straight couples, hell the guy or girl could always talk to their best friend about how they felt, what was worrying them and stuff like that, but if you were gay, who could you talk to? Your best friend would freak if they found out you were gay, so who was there? Maybe you could find some stranger on the internet, but you never knew who they really were, they could be some pervert getting off on it all, so really unless you had a gay friend, you were alone.

Mike sighed a little and drew Billy closer to him as he realized that part of being gay was also being isolated. There just wasn’t the opportunity to be open and have the support that the hetro world had. Maybe one day it would change, but that didn’t exactly help him or Billy now. Well, as he felt Billy’s heart beating next to his own, at least he had Billy and that was all he really needed. Mike bent his head down and lightly pressed his lips against Billy’s, feeling the warmth and love that was promised to him in those soft lips.

Billy felt the sigh as it quietly rolled away into the room, and he felt that his rock, his man had a small chink in his armour but as he found Mike’s arms holding him tighter, he realized that Mike would always be his port, his safe haven. Snuggling into the warm young body, he could feel Mike’s heart slowly beating inside of his chest. His own heart was beating faster, feeling at ease at last. He smiled as he felt Mike’s chin move down and he lifted his own head up to meet the soft gentle kiss from the guardian of his soul. The keeper of his flame of love and as their lips touched he could feel his head swoon a little, his pulse race faster as the fever of his love for Mike was starting to take hold once again.

They would just kiss, then stop and look at each other, or Billy would just snuggle into the crook of Mike’s arm. It felt so good, resting his head on that warm flesh, his legs wrapped over and under Mike’s limbs. Their arms held onto each other, the hands content for the time to just touch the warm flesh of the other.

Times like this were special to him, it never stopped amazing him how special Mike felt, how safe it felt to just breath in his special scent, to feel the small hairs under his arms, and then to lift up his face to get a nice soft kiss, tasting Mike as well. Damn, if this was true love, he hoped it would last forever. He wished he could talk more about it, with other’s but so far he really hadn’t had the nerve. One day though, maybe he could sit and talk about it with his Dad or even Taylor but not now. They both seemed so occupied and he knew that he wasn’t being fair, but he still felt like he was missing something.

The soft strokes of Mike’s hand across the back of his head made him look up and he could see nothing but love in that strong face. The dark green eyes just seemed to glow with desire for him and all of his doubts just couldn’t stand up to that type of power. He felt at ease and he cuddled in closer, feeling his hard cock digging into Mike’s soft belly, knowing that the hard pressure against his own thigh was from Mike’s rock hard cock.

Billy found himself slowly grinding his hips around, forcing his hard cock to rub hard up against Mike’s soft belly. The heat of the flesh touching was making him take deeper breathes as his heart started to race faster as well. Mike would respond to his grinding with a sort of wiggle of his own, arching his pelvis upwards, forcing his own hard cock to rub against Billy’s thigh muscle.

They kissed again, feeling each other’s desire growing, knowing that the small flame of passion that was burning deep within was growing with each passing second. Time moved on as Mike started to feel the heat growing, his whole body starting to sweat with his growing passion. This time he kissed harder, feeling his tongue starting to grow impatient within his mouth, knowing too that Billy’s tongue was equally impatient.

Gently, he opened his own full lips a fraction to let the tip of his tongue flick outwards, to taste the salty lips. He could feel Billy’s body tremble at the wet touch and he felt his body being ground by the sudden pressure coming from Billy’s crotch.

This time as they broke apart from their tender kiss, Billy didn’t place his head back into Mike’s shoulder. Instead he started to slide his hot body down the sweating flesh of Mike’s prone body. He started to kiss under his chin, tasting the hollow of his neck, feeling his man as he swallowed, feeling the blood flowing under the skin as his tongue started to lick the warm flesh.

The saltiness of Mike’s sweat only made him want more. His mouth moved down the long neck, kissing and licking at it as he slid his body slowly down the frame. He could feel Mike’s legs starting to shake and tremble as his own legs now rested between Mikes.

Billy’s mouth found the hard pink nipples and slowly he clenched them between his teeth, pulling up with his head, holding onto the firm hard flesh and then he would suck, taking the flesh into his mouth, feeling Mike groan with pleasure as he did one, then the other, then back to the first one. Each time he would release the pink nipple he licked at it, feeling it shake to his tongues roughness.

His hands started to run down Mike’s side, feeling the young muscles as they coiled under his touch. He could also feel the flesh quivering as his hand passed down it, feel the excitement flowing through Mike’s veins as his hands rested along Mike’s waist.

With his mouth still pressed up against Mike’s flesh, he found his hands slowly moving inside, slowly rubbing the soft thighs and then over to reach under his own chest, to prod the soft belly. The muscles rippled with his firm touch, quivering with desire now as his hands moved across the belly and down towards the growing furnace that was Mike’s groin.

Placing his hands on Billy’s shoulder he could feel the fire growing deep within him. His heart was racing now as he felt the wet tongue lick at his stomach, his coiled muscles groaning with the strain as they held him in check. The hot feeling grew up his face, his eyes closed as he whimpered softly, feeling Billy’s love flowing through his veins, running through his entire body, filling it with its own special sensation.

Mike’s strong hands pushed down on the shoulders, the fingers starting to dig into the soft flesh, reaching for bone as he squirmed under Billy’s hot tongue and firm hands.

With surprising pressure pushing at him, Billy found his legs dangling off the end of the bed and his mouth only inches from the hot mound of flesh that was Mike’s groin. He opened his eyes to stare at the hard red cock, to see the soft milky white pre cum slowly oozing up the slit, gently rolling down the steamy hot cock head. He licked his lips and then glanced upwards to see Mike’s eyes staring at him.

Looking hard into each other’s eyes, they lay there, Billy’s hand now resting just above the throbbing cock, his own dick burning with desire, and yet the dark green eyes held his body from moving. They just stared at each other, feeling the fever of their love starting to take hold.

Billy pulled his legs up, to sit cross-legged between Mike’s spread legs. He reached down with his hand, moving it along the wiry pubic hairs till it rested around the throbbing shaft, the balls just under his thumb. His eyes never once flickering, never once wavering as he started to slowly bring his hand up the quivering cock shaft.

Mike moved his body down, his legs spread out over the top of Billy’s folded ones. He could feel his buttocks resting up against Billy’s groin, feeling the heat, as it seemed to travel up from his rectum. His eyes refused to close; they just stayed open gazing with total love and passion into the soft blue pools of Billy’s eyes.

He couldn’t close his eyes, they were mesmerized by all the love that was being poured from them into his own body. He could feel his soul, the way it seemed to grow inside, reaching out through his own open eyes towards Mike.

His one hand firmly had hold of the shaking penis, it was scorching his palm as he slowly moved it up the long thick throbbing shaft, until it reached the fiery cock head. Billy felt the warm pre cum and he lifted his hand slightly, to then push down and smear the sticky liquid along the palm of his hand.

Then he slowly started to slide his hand down once more the throbbing shaft, his eyes never once leaving Mike’s face. Not for a second did he waver in his vigil, his hand acting totally on its own as it slowly moved down right to the groin, pressing down on the soft flesh, coating it with Mikes pre cum. Billy could feel his own cock stirring, feel his own hot pre cum oozing as his hand once more started to move up the hot pole of love.

Deep rumbling groans of pleasure rolled out form Mike’s mouth, yet his eyes never flickered, never wavered from gazing into the passion pit of Billy’s soul. He could feel the love as it slowly overtook him, slowly filled his body with its eternal flame of desire. Mike’s chest ached from desire as he felt the strong fingers gripping at his throbbing cock. His balls were aching and yet he couldn’t stop looking at Billy.

Tears started to well up inside his eyes as his hand started to move faster, taking the white pre cum and coating the head, his hand twisting around the pulsing organ, feeling it sway to his firm touch and Billy could feel the muscles around his chest start to constrict, trying to hold his heart in place, refusing to let it burst out.

The soft sounds of his own desire started to gain volume as he moved his hand faster down the thick shaft, feeling the blood pouring into the hot member as he saw Mike’s face twitch, the eyes flutter a little but still stay transfixed to his own eyes. The cheeks seemed to fall inwards as his hand once more pressed into the soft flesh of Mike’s groin, and he saw the nostrils flare open as he moved back up the hard shaft.

Billy grew dizzy as his head started to rock back and forth, all the time his hand moved faster and faster along the quivering pole of Mike. He lost his focus as Mike’s feature blurred before him, tears clouding his vision of the features and yet in his mind he could see a growing glow of golden light behind the outline of Mike’s head.

His body was trembling as he felt the hand tighten even more around his cock. His balls had flung themselves upwards and as Billy’s hand reached his cock head, he felt his body sag down. Then as the hand started to move down he could feel his hips grinding into the bed, starting to slowly gather his strength until the hard pressure on his groin registered, and then he arched upwards, his cock pressing past the clenched fist, forcing the hand deeper into the softness of his groin.

The firm set of Billy’s jaw and the glaze over his eyes spoke volumes to the pain in his heart. His soul was burning now and he started to moan louder as Billy’s hand moved faster and faster along his throbbing penis, making his whole body quiver then shake. His eyes were slowly losing their focus as his jaw moved back and forth, his teeth glimmering in the room’s light, his lips parted as he struggled to hold onto the wild passion that was flowing through his young body.

Blinking rapidly Billy was able to clear his vision as he stared at Mike’s constricted face. The strong jaw was moving from side to side as he quickened his hands pace. He could feel the sudden release as Mike’s balls started to empty their precious cargo. He felt his body tense up as the huge cock in his hand started to struggle, started to shake as the first stream of hot boy milk came rushing through the throbbing penis.

The hot searing touches of Mike’s cum against his stomach made him jump backwards a little. The heat had reached through his own sweating flesh to burn him deep within as he felt his soul burst outwards. Billy saw Mike’s chest heave and he could feel his groin arching upwards as the huge cock exploded.

Mike’s nipples seemed to blur and shake to the force of the explosion coming between Billy’s fingers. He could see the chest rising and falling in a blur of flesh as tiny drops of sweat were sent flying off the body, as the huge stream of sticky cum splattered his own body. He could feel his muscles rippling as they felt the force of cum strike.

The room was filled with the loud scream of Mike’s voice as his whole body shook to the giant explosion of love that covered Billy’s own quivering flesh with its hot milky fluid. As his cock jerked one last time Mike reached out, grabbing Billy’s shuddering body and pulled him hard and forward.

Billy went flying down onto Mike’s still heaving chest, feeling the sweat and cum mix and glue them together as the strong force of Mike’s hands guided his shaking body up the trembling body of Mike. His eyes grew wider as Mike’s face loomed before him and he found his mouth suddenly filled with Mike’s tongue, and as the hot flesh poked deep within his mouth, his cock started to jerk hard beneath them and his hips suddenly shook and arched downwards, grinding his quaking cock into Mike’s belly.

His legs went numb as his whole body started to jump and twist as his cock added its own explosion to the still dripping remnants of Mike’s earlier one. His cream now mingled with the splashes of Mike’s cum and he felt his whole body rock to the force of his explosion. His eyes saw the glow deep within Mike’s body, and his heart was no longer held in check, it had finally burst free and was beating together with Mike’s own heart.

Billy could hear the force of their hearts, as it roared in his head, his eyes watered as they stared into Mike’s, his mouth filled with the hot twisting tongue, his throat being licked as his cock jerked again and again. A deep feeling of total rapture took hold and he cried softly as Mike held him closer, willing his young body to join his own.

Chris sipped at the cognac in his glass, wondering what Seth was up to. He had left briefly twice during dinner and together they had enjoyed a very excellent dinner. He had been surprised when the waiter had brought the wine to the table and was even more surprised when Seth had ordered them each a snifter of cognac.

They had both driven here, and their cars were attended to by the hotel staff, yet he knew that Seth never drove even after one glass of wine, and tonight they had consumed a bottle between them, and were working on their second cognac. Damn the man, he had something up his sleeve and he looked around at the fancy dining room, seeing all the people in their finest clothing talking and relaxing. He had to admit; it did feel rather good to just be away from the house, from everything.

He watched as Seth returned to the table. There was that smirk on his face, the one that usually would signal that he had been up to something, that much he had come to learn in their short time together as man and, shit, what did you call the other half in a gay relationship? Wife didn’t suit Seth, even though he did seem to enjoy spending time on his back, but then so did he, so what did you call your partner?

“And just what are you grinning at Sir?”

“Huh? Oh nothing Seth, nothing at all, man this really is a nice dinner, what’s the occasion?”

“Do we need one?”

“No, I guess not.”

“Good, so you ready for some dessert now?”

“Are you nuts? I am stuffed”

“Oh, not fully yet, least not if I have my way”

Chris almost choked on the cognac as he stared up at Seth’s grinning face. Damn the man knew how to turn a phrase; he really could get into some good old-fashioned fucking. Shit, he was getting crude in his old age, but he had to admit, it felt good.

“haha, since when did you not get your way?”

“Well, true, so how about it, up for some dessert?”

“sure, I guess you talked me into it, what we having?”

“You’ll see, come on drink up and we’ll go see what this old man has ready for you”

“Oh? And just where may I ask are you planning to have this dessert?”

“Oh, I don’t know, how about in the car lot?”

“Yeah right… shit, Seth you aren’t serious?”

“Haha, the look on your face Chris, its priceless, and you know, maybe one night we will, but this isn’t that night, so come on, let’s go”

Seth downed the last drop of his cognac and stood up, waiting for Chris to finish his and join him. Together they left the soft lit dining room and walked out into the ornate lobby of the hotel where Seth merely turned away from the front doors and headed over to the bank of elevators. He punched a button and waited, humming some damn tune that Chris just couldn’t make out.

As the elevator took them up he glanced over at Seth, wondering what he had in store for tonight. It was obvious that they weren’t driving home, and he wished that the couples in front had gotten off a lot earlier, but it was obvious that they were headed for the same floor. He could see the flash of disappointment cross Seth’s face as the couple had hit the same button and he wondered if Seth had something planned for the elevator ride. He wouldn’t put it past him, at times Seth Bradford could be like a high school kid, and it appeared that tonight was one of those times.

They had taken their time in walking down the plush carpeted hallway, waiting for the couple that had gotten off with them to find their own room and enter it. Slowly they came up to the far end of the hallway and the double wide doors that would lead them to their room. Chris felt rather nervous, like he was out on a first date, the suddenness of the dinner and now this surprise had made him feel rather flushed. He could feel the sweat on his brow as Seth looked around and before he knew what was happening, Seth had planted one huge wet kiss on his lips.

Right there in the hallway, he felt the rough edge of Seth’s tongue lick at his stunned mouth, feeling his body suddenly quiver to the touch of Seth’s moist lips and he blinked, staring up into a pair of wild looking eyes. He felt the adrenalin flowing as his heart quicken and the door to the suite opened.

Walking into the well-lit room, he saw nothing out of the ordinary, other than the opulence of the room. Seth walked in and waited while he closed the door and stood there, wondering just what did the man have planned for next.

Seth stood by the drape covered walls and then he started going around the room, turning off all the table lamps and leaving just the pair of candles burning on the small ornate table by the drapes. Then he reached behind one end of the curtains and suddenly Chris saw the drapes start to open up.

His breath left him for a second as the room opened before him to reveal a long wide expanse of glass and the brilliant lights of the city started to shine inside the darkened living room of the suite. Watching the drapes pull wide apart, he saw that they had a wonderful view overlooking the whole city, and off to one side he could see the darker shape of the mountains. The sky was brilliantly lit by thousands of winking stars and off to one side the moon glowed downwards, casting its own eerie shadows on the night.

He walked up to the doors and stared out and waited, as Seth came to stand next to him. He felt Seth reach out and place his arm around his shoulder and then with his other hand, he opened the sliding doors to let the sounds of the night enter their sanctuary.

With a slight nudge Seth walked out onto the balcony with Chris, his arm resting now around the well built body, feeling the muscles as they rippled during their brief few steps outside. Seth breathed in the night air deeply, smelling only the special scent of Chris as he stared off into the night’s sky.

“You know Chris, each time I look up there, and see all those stars glittering, I wonder how the hell I got so lucky.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah, I mean it really is amazing, first I found Christina and had two wonderful sons with her, then when life just didn’t seem to matter much, I found you, and now I think you are going to give me a son too, strange isn’t it?”

“You really think that Keith is going to fit in?”

“I don’t know Chris, but I know we have to try and help him fit in, Shit, I know it is going to be tough, and it sure as hell is going to put a crimp in our nights but I think its worth it, don’t you?”

“Yes, I don’t know though Seth, I mean it is such a big risk we are taking, if he finds out about us or about the boys? That could cause you a lot of trouble.”

“Me? Shit, I can handle that, I doubt if I would lose much in the way of clients, and hell, even if I did it doesn’t really matter anymore, you are the one who stands to lose the most.”

“Well, I never really thought about it, yeah I guess in a way I would, but what about Billy and Mike?”

“They are tough, it might be a bitch for them for a bit, but they only have a year to go before they will be off to college so I think they can weather the storm for that long.”

“And Taylor?”

“He has Jeremy, and he is in college already so I don’t think it really will affect him all that much, so no, we are okay, it is you and Keith that has me worried.”

“Yeah, I don’t know what to do, I mean Seth I really miss having him near me, and yet I know that each second he is with me is a potential second of him finding out his dad is a fag, how do you deal with that?”

Seth didn’t say much right away, instead he just held onto Chris tighter, making the two of them cling to each other closer. He could feel the fear inside of Chris, hell he could feel it running through his own body but he also could feel something else.

There was this part of him that just seemed to grow when he felt this way, a part of him that seemed to reach out as he needed it and give him the courage to face the problem squarely. Some inner strength, which welled up when he needed it and at this second, it was filling him with its light, its truth and its power.

“To be honest, I don’t know how you deal with it, as you say, all I know is that when you get there, you will deal with it.”

“It is kind of scary though, I mean to think that everything you have worked for could be blown up in a moments indiscretion or lack of judgement.”

“True, but I think we have all the bases covered. I guess all we can do is take the plunge and let it play out as it will.”

“Maybe we shouldn’t take the plunge?”

“That’s an option, but not one I think either of us are willing to consider, I mean, I could no more ask you to give up trying to be a part of Keith’s life as I could ask you to not be a part of Billy’s or Taylor’s life.”

“I know that Seth, God I lay awake at night sometimes wondering how to make this all work, I know how much it means to you to have your kids back in your life, and here I come along and put all that at risk, I wish that maybe it could be different.”

“Yeah, I know… you regret us being together Chris?”

“NO, shit Seth, you are the best thing to have ever happened to me, other than Keith, it is just, I don’t know… here you have just found your kids again, and along I come putting that at risk, maybe we should not push all this, maybe we need to take time and let your kids get used to having you back in their lives, …fuck if I know the answer.”

Strange, he had decided to have this evening here, alone with Chris instead of being at the house, to be more romantic and now they were talking about things that he wished he could just set aside. He knew that if he could, he would love to just run away and not have to deal with all this, but he also knew that if this second chance at love was to work, they needed to be honest with each other.

Looking up at the stars, he prayed silently for her help and he could feel his heart slow down, the panic no longer gripping him. A sense of calm seemed to flow into his veins as he held onto Chris’ body tightly. There was no turning back, least for him and he knew that he was moving fast, but he was 40 and he didn’t want to let one minute pass him by this time around. Time was his to make what he could of it, and he wanted it to be filled with the love he remembered so well, and with Chris, he felt sure he could have that.

“I don’t have the answers either Chris, all I do know is that we have this chance, this window of opportunity to make our lives happy, and I want that, no matter the cost.”

“But it could be such a high cost Seth.”

“I know, but I guess I also know that my kids are going to be okay, I mean shit, I got enough money to see they all have a good education and a good start at life, I have all I will need, so in a way there really isn’t a big risk there, it is you that I am worried about, I don’t want to lose what we have Chris, you have no idea how much you have done for me”

“Me? Damn I haven’t done dick… get that grin off your face, you know what I mean”

“Hehe, yes I do, but seriously Chris, you have given me a lot, for starter you have given me a chance at love again, I don’t know, for so long I felt like it was a one time deal and that I had been robbed of it, yet with you I know I can have it again, so its selfish on my part, but I don’t want to lose that, and I know that you won’t be complete until we can figure a way to solve the situation between you and Keith”

“I suppose, it is just that I abandoned him once, I don’t think I could handle him rejecting me, and he’s not stupid, damn it, I am certain that one day he is going to figure it out, then where will I be?”

“I know, it is tough when your kids look at you like you are a stranger, or you see the hurt in their eyes. Shit, every time I look at Taylor I can feel his resentment at times, not so much now, but it is still there, and the thing is Chris, no matter how harsh his feelings might be towards me, they don’t compare to the way I feel about it myself.”

“Oh come on Seth, Taylor doesn’t resent you”

“Oh he does Chris, he is trying to get over it, thankfully, but he still has his moments, and I can’t blame him either, I did abandon him and his brother, and then well, things got out of hand and I didn’t handle it well, I was too lost, to much trying to be the strong grieving widow, when I should have been holding them close and all of us crying on each other’s shoulders. I can’t change the past though, but I can make up for it, I just don’t want you to have to go through that, so no, we need to work through this and if Keith finds out, well, we will deal with that too, okay?”

Chris could feel the pain that Seth was feeling. He never had really talked much about what had happened, and he was still rather in the dark about it all. He was curious, but he also was scared to find out too. He could see it in Taylor’s eyes at times, just as Seth said, but he chalked that up to him being a teenager, yet he also saw other things too. There was no mistaking the almost desperate desire of Taylor to please Seth, the almost fanatical devotion to obtaining his approval and yet when he did get it, he seemed almost blasé about it all.

Looking at things he also realized that he had been trying too hard with both of Seth’s boys. He too wanted acceptance, wanted approval and maybe that was the problem, maybe he should be just himself and let the chips fall where they would, but he really did want Taylor and Billy to like him. Chris sighed as he realized that this was all a part of being in love, the worry the stress, it all was part of the big picture.

“You know Chris, Billy will come around, give him time”

“Huh? How, I mean, yeah I know that Seth, it is just that he is so intimidating at times.”

“Well he is intense, way too intense really and that is my fault I guess, he really did run the household for me, I thought all that responsibility would take his mind off of things, but it robbed him of his youth too.”

“And now here I come and he feels like he’s being replaced.”

“Sort of I think, but he is also very smart, he’ll understand it and besides, he really still does run the household, but yeah, he needs to be 16 more often, which is another selfish reason for me wanting to have Keith around.”

“How, I don’t see that?”

“If he sees a younger kid having fun, running and playing maybe he’ll lighten up too, maybe he’ll cut loose and spend more time horse playing with Mike than screwing his ass off, I don’t know, I just want him to be happy Chris. With Keith around, I think Billy can do that better, easier, than if not.”

“You are a crafty one, I would never have thought of that angle.”

“Hehe, well to be honest, I didn’t think of it either.”

“Whoa? Well who you been talking to then?”

“Haha, don’t worry, he’s not my type, well okay yeah he could be I suppose but only if I was 16 or so again…”

“Oh shit, you mean Mike?”

“Yeah, he talked to me after Keith had been over that first time, while Billy was cleaning up and we were watching television.”

“Christ, its scary isn’t it Seth? I mean were we that knowledgeable at their age? I sure as hell wasn’t, and the way those two seem to just work together, it is awesome.”

“Awesome? Yeah that is a good way to describe them, but Mike is really something else, least so I am learning. You know, I never really thought much about it, but he is so deep on so many different levels, it amazes me at times.”

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t know, it is like he can be 12 years old at times, like when he is playing with Keith, other times he seems to have more wisdom than my father does, and yet he’s only 16. He can look at you and you just know you don’t want him as an enemy, and then there is the soft side to him.

I mean, you should see how he can just touch Billy and make Billy turn into a quivering mess of blubber, or he can just look at Billy and make him stop dead in his tracks.

He is so in love with my son it scares me, because I wonder sometimes if Billy really can fathom the depths of love that Mike has for him.”

“Well I sure know I wouldn’t want to come between him and Billy, god he does have that way doesn’t he? So, how did he figure out this angle?”

“hehe, it was really strange, we were sitting there and he just looked at me with those eyes of his, you know how he can get, and just said, ‘you know Keith should come by more often, it makes Billy relax and be a kid’ and that was it. He turned back and was watching the screen before I could say ‘boo’, it really stuck in my mind”

“He’s always thinking isn’t he?”

“Oh yeah, you know one day I would just like to sit down with him and talk about everything that is going on, I mean it sounds strange really, me 40 and successful, yet I think he can set a lot of things clear for me, least as they pertain to Billy… I never told either of them this, but at the first, I rather was leaning to not pushing for Mike to stay with us, I wasn’t sure about all this sex and stuff that they were doing”

“Really? So, what changed your mind?”

“Well, that night, before I met with his parents, I peeked into their room, you know how I always do, and I could see them lying there, Mike had his arm around Billy and Billy was all nestled and snug into Mike’s body, it looked so natural, so perfect, I felt like they were twins actually.

Then as I stared at them, I saw his eyes open and he just stared at me, he didn’t flinch for a second, and instead of seeing the green of his eyes, I saw something else. It was almost as if he was daring me to reach inside of him to see what he really felt for me, for my son and I have to tell you, it scared the shit out of me, but I couldn’t stop staring, I couldn’t stop looking into his eyes and the more I looked, the less fearful I was, the more I gazed inwards, the more I just seemed to know that he loved Billy, I mean loved him and not for the physical stuff either.”

“That sounds pretty intense, and yet I can kind of see it too, I mean he does have a way of looking at you, defying you to get to know the real him.”

“yes, he does, I don’t know how long I stared but finally it just seemed like I was satisfied, my heart wasn’t in turmoil and I knew that in the morning I would do everything in my power to get his parents to let him stay with me and Billy. Funny thing, as I came to that realization, he just smiled at me, looked down at Billy in his arms, then lowered his head and snuggled into Billy’s neck and closed his eyes. His head had just hit Billy’s skin when I could hear the even breathing of them both”

“Funny how no matter how old we get, the kids are the ones who still can show us a thing or two.”

“Yeah, speaking of that, come on, I think its time we had some dessert, I kind of need to feel like a teenager again, so, coming?”

Seth had turned to stare into Chris’ eyes and there was mistaking the deep love there. He could feel it invade his entire body and he just nodded, letting Seth take his hand into his and walk back inside.

They crossed the star lit room silently, each holding onto the words of the other, each lost in their own thoughts of what the future would hold for them. Yet despite all the fears, the doubts and concerns, they knew that they had just taken a large step forward, as a team, each one sharing their thoughts and hidden worries. The darkness that loomed ahead was no longer as frightening.

Seth opened the bedroom door, and there with candles barely flickering, he saw the large bed, covered in a sea of colours. Soft purple carnations dotted part of the huge bed; brilliant red roses lay across the two pillows. His eyes bulged as he saw the bed covered in a massive arrangement of flowers, their fragrance almost overpowering.

Stepping into the room he saw rays of gold flash along the walls, attracting his attention as he saw the ornate service trolley by the bed, a huge silver dome covered tray dead centre, and off to the other side a bottle of wine chilling in another bucket of ornate silver.

Looking in shock, he watched as Seth left his side and strolled over to the service trolley, where he lifted the huge dome to reveal a glass bowl filled with fresh large strawberries. Their brilliant redness offset by the creamy white cream that adorned the rim of the huge glass bowl. Below the curve of the bowl rested several smaller one’s, each topped by a mountain of cream and all he could think of was how lucky he was to be sharing his life with such a person. He could feel the tears rolling down his cheeks as he stared back to the bed, to see on one side an array of photos.

Barely able to contain himself, he walked over to the end table to see a large photo of Seth staring at him, a recent one too, and then around in each corner of the frame rested a circled insert, each one containing a picture. In the top right rested the shining face of Billy, opposite on the left was the soft young face of his own son, Keith and at the bottom he could see the dark mysterious face of Mike and the below Billy’s face, he saw the eager eyes of Taylor beaming outwards.

His body shook to his sobs; he felt two strong arms encircle his body. He could feel Seth’s breath on the back of his neck as tears rolled down his face. His mouth felt very dry as he felt his chest constrict, the pressure around his heart only growing more intense as he stared at the pictures, seeing each of them and feeling the love that simply filled the room.

The hands grew tight around his waist, the heavy head of Seth rested on his quaking shoulders and he was close to completely losing it when the soft sound of Seth’s deep rich voice whispered into his ear.

“Welcome to the family lover”
