Chapter 32

Mike was dancing from one foot to the other as he rang the doorbell a second time. Typical Billy, never ready but then that was part of the fun, wondering if he would be ready or not. He was all dressed up, wearing his fancy duds and he had a box of flowers in one hand, a box of Billy’s favourite chocolates in the other and an evening agenda that should let blondie know just how much he loved him. That was the whole idea of tonight, to show Billy just how special he was to him, and he hoped he hadn’t forgotten anything.

The door opened to a reveal a smiling Chris. It really was something to watch the way Chris was starting to smile more, and if they had played their cards right, he would be having a little brother soon. Just one more reason to be celebrating tonight, that and that Billy would tell him that he was going to try out for the football team this coming season. He wasn’t totally sure yet, but he rather figured it would either be tonight or no later than next week, if he had done his homework right.

“Well, Mr. Shepard, don’t you look absolutely dreamy tonight”

“Why thank you sir, is Ms Bradford ready?”

“Well, unfortunately she is running a bit late in her schedule, however, please do come in and wait, may I offer you some refreshments?”

“Uh no, thank you, I’ll wait in the den, if that is okay Sir?”

“Hehe, oh yeah, its fine with me, hehe”

Chris couldn’t believe the way Mike was acting. IT was as if he was in a high school play and he was trying hard not to burst out laughing. It was so damn cute and then he rather stood back, looking at Mike and the laughter died in his throat. A close examination and he could see that Mike was deadly serious about all this and then it hit him. Why not? Why shouldn’t Mike be serious, he was here on a date, another chance to once more capture Billy’s heart, and it made him think.

His mind was doing overtime as he showed young Michael Shepard to the den and then left him, knowing that it was fitting that he not crowd the young man as he awaited his date. The sounds of drawers being slammed and shrill shrieks told him that Billy also took this very seriously and he was glad he had backed off. Mike had hit it on the head; he was keeping their love fresh, showing Billy truly that things did change, but that his love was always there. No dull safe routine for him, or for Billy and maybe that was their secret.

Mike knew that this was kid stuff, but he wanted to try and let Billy know that while the world around them was changing, that their own lives were constantly changing, that there would never be anyone else for him. He loved Billy so much that at times he could feel his guts twisting around in pain, and all because Billy had been short with him or impatient. It didn’t happen often, but it did happen and after each time he felt like he was going to throw up. He also knew he was just as guilty of doing the same thing, and he wondered if Billy had the same feelings too. Most likely he did which was another reason for him to ask Billy out on a date. He needed to let Billy know, to show him in a real sense, that if he had to do it all over, he would still choose to be with Billy.

He noticed the pictures by the big bookcase; it was where the family tree stood. Billy had explained that his mother had started it when Taylor had been born and they had expanded on it when Dad had this place built.  Sitting in the paneling was a beautifully etched tree. The tree had several branches and was from about waist high to the ceiling. Right under it was a small ledge where the family bible rested. In that bible were the names of Billy and Taylor. It was the old fashioned type of bible, where you recorded your wedding, your births and unfortunately any deaths.

Under the main trunk of the tree was four pictures, one set of two was of Billy’s mother’s parents, the other set was of Seth’s parents. Halfway up the trunk of the tree was the two high school pictures of Seth and his wife. The tree branched off, one branch had the baby picture of Taylor and another branch had the baby picture of Billy. He had teased him mercilessly about that one, cause Billy’s cute baby butt was showing out of the blanket but there seemed to be more pictures added.

Mike moved closer and a strange hand seemed to grip his heart. Another branch seemed to have been etched in, leading up from Billy’s baby picture and he found his own baby picture there. A small gold plate, just like the one’s for every other picture carried his name, Michael Shepard and his birth date. He ran his fingers over the plate, marvelling at it and feeling the tears rolling down his cheeks. Looking over to the left, he saw that a second branch had been added by Taylor’s picture and a picture added as well, and he knew it was Jeremy. The picture was a recent photo, not a baby picture but then he figured that Seth hadn’t been able to get one of those.

His fingers trembled a little as he noticed a branch had begun to be etched above Christina’s picture. She was such a lovely looking women; you could see the life that was in her, the way her eyes sparkled even in the photograph. He wished he had known her better, but then maybe he did, and he softly kissed his fingers and pressed it to her face, whispering softly to the photo, ‘I promise you, I’ll never let anyone harm him, I’ll take really good care of your son, he is my life mom, it is all I live for’

Mike felt his body tremble a little as he spoke to the shimmering image of Billy’s mother. He felt a strange glow deep inside of him, and his heart felt rather calm even though he thought he would break down and cry a river any second now. Carefully, his eyes never wavering from her image, he wiped his eyes clear of his tears and straightened his shoulders. The sounds of Billy’s feet thudding on the stairs made him smile, and with a wink and a slight hitch in his heart, he turned around to greet his date.

Billy came running and as he approached the front entrance, he wondered where Mike was waiting for him. He couldn’t see him in the hallway and then he heard the soft step of feet on wooden flooring and knew he was in the den. Calming himself, collecting his poise he stopped his wild rush and started to walk rather than run, even though every nerve in his body was quivering with excitement. It was unreal, to be going out on a date with his lover, but then it was kind of nice, sort of like Mike was trying to show him that no matter what, he would always come for him. There was no doubt, Mike was a sweetheart and he could feel his pulse racing as he turned to see Mike standing by the far bookcase and the family tree.

“Wow, you really do look hot Mike”

“Me? Man you should look in a mirror dude, you are awesome”

“Thanks, sorry I was late, got talking to Chris”

“That’s okay, uh here, these are for you”

Billy took the long narrow box and small tears rose in his eyes. He fumbled a little in opening it and then he gasped in surprise as he saw the single rose that lay inside. It was nestled in a bed of white baby’s breath, and tiny green ferns. The rose itself was a brilliant deep shade of red, and with trembling fingers he lifted it up, smelling the powerful fragrance of the flower. As he breathed it in he looked over at Mike, saw the dark green eyes and the way they were fluttering, as if embarrassed by his gift.

“It’s beautiful Mike, thanks”

“Well, everyone else got roses this morning, figured you should too”

“Thanks, should I go put it in a vase now?”

“sure, I’ll wait for you here”

“Okay, uh, Mike…”

“I know… hurry up we got lots to do tonight, that is, well, I really want to show you a good time on our date, if you will let me”

“yes, anything, I won’t be long, give me a second”

“‘kay”

Billy took one more long whiff of the rose and a quick glimpse of Mike over the perfect red petals. Then quickly he shot out of the room to the kitchen, to find a vase and put his rose in it. He almost ran into Chris as he entered the kitchen and for some strange reason he knew that tears were rolling down his cheeks.

“Here Billy, I’ll take that for you and put it in a vase, I’ll leave it up in your room, okay?”

“Yes, yes thanks Chris, shit, I am a wreck and the date has hardly started, how am I going to make it all the way through it?”

“you’ll do fine son, don’t worry, here, wipe your eyes”

Chris handed Billy a small napkin as he took the box with the flower in it. He could see the depth of emotions that were racing through Billy and he wondered if he was that way once? As he pondered that question, he was able to answer it too, answer it in a very definite affirmative note. Seth made him feel the exact same way, and not just now and then, but every day, every night.

Billy blew his nose and tossed the napkin into the trash and looked at Chris. It was as if he was sort of looking for something and without thinking, the two of them suddenly embraced. Chris hugged Billy tightly to his chest, feeling the young boy resting his head on his shoulder and his arms holding him tightly around the waist. It was indeed, like he was sending a son out on a date, he felt so much like a parent that he could feel the tears welling up in his own eyes. He knew that once the two boys had left, he would spend a few minutes crying. Damn it, this family was something special, and he thanked God for the chance to be a part of it all.

Chris pushed Billy back a little, looking down into his face. This time all he saw was a pink faced young teenager, one hopelessly lost in love and trembling by the sheer enormity of it all. He could see Billy’s heart beating fast and furious in his chest, and he knew that he was actually feeling nervous and excited, all at the same time.

“Okay now?”

“Yeah, thanks Chris”

“It’s what I am here for, now go on, your young man is waiting for you”

“Thanks”

With that he hugged Chris once more, then reached up and gave him a quick peck on the cheek, like any son would do to a parent and before Chris could say or do anything, Billy was out of the kitchen racing towards Mike.

“Okay, I am ready”

“Cool, oh here, these are for you too”

“Wow, more gifts? Shit you really are spoiling me Mike”

“You are worth it Billy”

“Thanks, hey they are my favourites, cool, well guess I gotta make another run to put these away”

“Uh, well I was kind of thinking that maybe you would stash them in the glove box of your truck”

“Oh, how come?”

“Well, see next week it is your turn to take your truck to school, and well, I kind of thought that each morning, on our way to school we could both have one chocolate each, to kind of remind us of tonight, that is if its okay with you, and well, uh, if you feel like wanting to remember tonight”

Billy had no idea what the rest of the evening was going to be like, but if it went the same way as the first part, he was going to be an emotional wreck. Damn Mike, he was going to make him cry before he even got outside the damn front door. His heart was flipping and he knew that his dick was already ten times its size, and was dripping like Niagara Falls.

“I kind of like that idea, and don’t be daft, of course I will want to remember tonight, but if you have anymore surprises planned, I warn you Shepard, you better have a damn towel handy, I can barely hold the tears back now”

“Hehe, well actually I do have a towel handy, and yeah I know what you mean, I kind of feel like the waterworks are ready to spill over, so, maybe we get going, before we flood the house out”

“I am with you, God you look good”

“hehe, flattery will get you seconds at dinner”

“Cool, I am starved, where you taking me?”

“Oh I don’t know, how about Mickey D’s?”

“In your dreams jock boy”

“Hehe, no in my dreams we don’t need food”

“Pig”

“Yep, shall we?”

With that, Mike held out his arm, and he bent his head, as if asking for the privilege of escorting Billy outside. It was precious and Billy almost lost it again but he managed somehow, to retain control. With screaming nerves, he placed his sweaty hand on Mike’s arm, feeling a jolt as if 10,000 megawatts of power had just flashed through his body. Shuddering a little, he still managed to hold on and they headed out the door.

As they headed out the door, Mike wasn’t sure if he could make it to the truck. His knees were like rubber, and his legs felt like they would give out any second. The touch of Billy’s hand on his arm was torture to his heart. It ached, as his body trembled with the wild desire that was running all through his entire body. Nothing could compare to the intense waves of pure desire that were filling his every thought. His eyes were already misted and his lungs stung as he tried to catch his breath.

Mike watched as Billy placed the box of chocolates in the glove box of his truck, his eyes firmly locked on the young figure as it bent over. He marvelled at how gorgeous Billy looked, and he silently thanked God for giving him the honour of being a part of Billy’s life in such an intimate way. He really wasn’t religious in the normal sense, but he had this deep unabashed sense that someone higher in intellect was running the show, and for that he was grateful. Not all of the religious stuff made sense, but he knew in his heart that this was meant to be and he would do everything in his limited power to see that it never ended.

“So, where is your chariot?”

“Out on the street, just by the gate”

“How come?”

“Well, I wanted to walk with you hand in hand, and well, I know it wouldn’t be smart to do it in town, so I figured at least we could do it this way.”

“Damn”

“What? Billy, please, don’t cry like that, I know how you want to be like any other couple, this was the only way I figured we could at least experience it, please…”

“It’s okay, shit, I knew you were special, I just… fuck Mike, hold me now”

A slight tear at his heart caught him, he could feel his own tears starting as he wondered how stupid could he have been. He had wanted this to be a special evening, and before they even get out of the gate he had Billy crying.

He wrapped his arms around Billy and crushed him close to his chest, wishing he was dead and six thousand feet under ground. He had caused Billy to cry and that was something he never wanted to do. How could he have been so stupid?

“Please Billy, I am sorry, look I’ll go get the truck, okay?”

“Don’t you fucking dare you wonderful… shit give me a minute”

“okay, i…”

“Oh Mike, how can I ever tell you what this means to me? You have just made me happier than I could ever have thought possible”

“Huh? You aren’t mad at me?”

“Mad? No silly, shit you are so sweet, to have even thought of that, God, you make me love you more each time I look at you, and yes, I would be honoured to walk down the esplanade with you, my handsome knight… come on, let’s take that stroll”

Mike looked into Billy’s blue eyes and saw that every word he spoke was the truth. He hadn’t botched it up and his heart swelled with pride as it heard him called Billy’s handsome Knight. Now this was the way it was supposed to be and he felt like he was back on cloud nine and he started to whistle a little as he reached out and firmly grasped Billy’s hand into his own.

They strolled down the driveway, arm in arm with Billy resting his head on Mike’s shoulder. Two people, out for a night on the town, walking together arm in arm, heart to heart. Mike couldn’t believe how happy he was feeling and how damn lucky he was. To see Billy smiling, to feel him next to him at peace was the greatest feeling in the whole world. Feeling like this, he wondered how anyone could ever reject this in favour of drugs or booze. There was no way that any of that shit could ever give someone the high that he was feeling at that very second and as he walked slowly down the driveway, he also knew that what he was feeling was only the beginning.

The driveway was long and winding and normally a person could walk it in about 5 minutes, tonight Billy and Mike took almost a half hour to make it down the path to the street where Mike’s truck was parked. They had stopped several times to just stare at each other, or better, to kiss lightly as they enjoyed the evening’s breeze and the smell of nature. Even now, the heady fragrance of flowers, trees, and grass, all billowed all around them, surrounding them and their love with its soft scent.

Billy still had no idea where they were headed, and to be honest he really didn’t care, all that mattered to him was that he was with Mike. The drive was a blank to him, as he never bothered to look out of the window. His eyes had only one image to concentrate on, and that was the picture of Mike carefully driving them to their destination. He kept his hand lightly on Mike’s, enjoying the warm feeling it gave him as he kept seeing them walking down the driveway. It was unbelievable how Mike had come up with that idea.

The truck stopped and Mike finally was able to turn and look at Billy without rushing. He just smiled and cocked his head to one side, indicating that they had arrived. Billy jumped as he heard his door open and he turned to see a young man in a maroon vest standing there, holding the door for him. Looking around, he recognized where they were and he could feel his jaw dropping to the ground as he stepped out of the truck, waiting for Mike to come around from his side. He saw Mike toss the guy the key and then together they headed into the main lobby entrance of the town’s hoity toity hotel.

Like they belonged there, Mike walked ahead, leading Billy directly to the main dining room, considered one of the state’s most famous steak places. If you wanted the best, the fanciest, this was always a top contender on list of places to get that at. He watched as Mike headed straight for the entrance and then he almost choked. Standing there, waiting for them was his father.

“Well I see you got him here in one piece Mike, hello Billy”

“Dad”

“Well, it is all set, I hope you two enjoy your evening, and I’ll see you both tomorrow, I have to run, enjoy now”

With those words, a small wink, Seth patted Billy on the shoulder and then for some strange reason he shook Mike’s hand. That was strange, but Billy really couldn’t handle trying to figure that out at this particular moment, he was too flabbergasted by where they were going for dinner.

A waiter came up and had them follow him to their table which was off to one side, far in the back of the restaurant, buried deep into the darkness of the place, where they could talk and be alone even though they were surrounded by about 100 other diners. The table was set in fantastic array of silverware, crystal and china and two busboys sprang forward to help seat the two boys, side by side. Their backs were both more or less to the wall, and they were angled so they could both look closely at each other and out at the dining room.

“Mike…how did you arrange this?”

“A gentlemen doesn’t tell his secrets, least not on the first date haha”

“Funny boy, seriously, how?”

“It was your dad, I called him and he agreed to help, something about how he owed us, haven’t a clue what he meant but hey, ”

“Like hell you don’t know why, shit this is a complete surprise, you outdid yourself jock boy”

“Did I? For real?”

“Yeah, for real, damn you, right now all I want to do is ravish that jock body of yours”

“Well, just what kind of person do you think I am? Such talk, and on our first date too, shame on you, that’s all you blondes thing of, sex and more sex”

“Yeah, well if we ever get around to that, I’ll show you just how much I have been thinking of it.”

“Oh really? Hmm, that’s almost worth passing on dinner, but seeing as how its already been ordered…”

“What? Oh God I can see you have really gone all out on this, how the hell are you going to pay for this?”

“Pay? Hey, isn’t that your department?”

“No way Jock Boy, you asked me out”

“Haha, I know, and of course I am going to pay, I have been saving my allowance”

“No way, everytime I asked you if you had any money, you were always broke… shit I can’t believe I fell for that… you are devious”

“I have to be, otherwise I’d have you spending all my hard earned money”

“Oh right, listen to you”

“Ssshh, here comes the first course, I believe it is smoked salmon roulades with capers, that is what you call them red fish things with little peas isn’t it?”

“Yes, damn, I love those”

“Really? I didn’t know that”

“Yeah, shit, if you ordered everything I love, you realize you are going to make me gain 20 pounds or so”

“Well, you need a bit more meat on you, especially if you decide to go out for football next season”

“Fuck you and football, but okay, I’ll eat the food anyway”

“Cool, then I can help work it off you later”

“Oh? And just what makes you think I will let you?”

“Cause you haven’t seen what I ordered for dessert”

“Shit”

“Bathrooms are over there I think”

“Pig”

“Yep, we established that already”

The two boys spent the next 3 and half hours talking and eating. They spoke about how excited they were to be able to go to the dinner slash fund raiser for Governor Bush and how it was really a thrill to be involved in such things at their age. It was like the world was theirs, no one else existed on the planet but them as the food silently came and in between mouthfuls they would stare at each other, their eyes speaking their love to the other’s heart. It was almost as if the whole room was only existing to hold their love, to help sustain their desire and to give rise to the promise of what tomorrow would bring them.

Mike talked about how Seth had tried to talk about this morning, and how much it meant to both him and Chris. Billy related his talk with Chris, and how he was glad that Mike had talked him into giving Chris a chance. Both of them asked questions of each other, wanting to know everything the other had done or said during their time apart and it was as if they grew closer with each passing word, with each tick of the clock their hearts grew closer. Nothing else seemed to exist as time crept onwards and the candle on the table gradually became a stub, flickering to their soft spoken words.

Billy had never felt so much love as he did that night. His whole body tingled as he listened to Mike talk about college, how he was hoping he could make the university team and how they could maybe get an apartment together off campus. It was as if listening to a man explaining his dreams of a life together with the person of his dreams, and suddenly Billy realized that that was exactly what it was. Mike was building their life together, and he settled down in his chair, to just listen and enjoy the talk.

Like any evening, the dinner finally came to an end with the waiter bringing a rather large bill to the table. Mike merely signed his name and the waiter just smiled, thanked him and left. It was strange and exhilarating for Billy, the way the waiter had come up right to Mike, knowing he was the head of the table.

“Hey, where’s that dessert you promised me?”

“Oh its ready, just we are going to have it elsewhere, alone, just the two of us, so come on, let’s go”

“Huh? Okay, but it better be good or else, I kind of like it here”

“I promise, you won’t be disappointed”

“Mike, there is no way you could disappoint me, even if dessert is nothing more than a DQ sundae”

“Now he tells me, after I spend all this money, typical”

“Pig”

“Geez, haven’t we settled that yet? Yes, I am and damn proud of it”

“Haha”

Slowly they got up from the table and left the luxurious dining room to go back into the hotel itself. Billy wondered where they were going to next and when Mike directed him over towards the large banks of gilded elevator doors, he felt rather queasy and unsteady. Just where were they off to as Mike pushed the button and watched as the mirrored doors opened and Mike stepped in, turning to wait for Billy.

“Just what, or where are we heading now?”

“You’ll see”

The soft whir of the elevator was making him rather excited. He had no idea what Mike was up to because there was no way he could get a hotel room, even if Dad had helped, he would still need to get a room key and Mike hadn’t left his side all night, so he was puzzled as the elevator took them straight up to the top floor. The doors opened softly onto a wide hallway, plush carpeting masking the sounds of their feet as Mike led him down one side, towards a set of double doors.

They stood by the double doors to a suite, and Billy almost fainted as he watched Mike pull out a cardkey from his pocket and insert it into the lock. Swiping the card, he pushed and the door opened wide to show an amazing room. Soft lights lit the whole place, and a soft gentle breeze was blowing in from the balcony, the sheer drapes billowing in its wake. Billy couldn’t believe it as he felt Mike take hold of his hand and lead him into the room. There off to one side, was a table cart, a large silver dome sitting on it and more plates, glasses and silverware all around.

Mike took Billy and made him sit on one of the chairs by the room service cart. He quickly went back and closed the door, making sure that the ‘do not disturb’ sign was firmly fixed to the outside knob and then he came back to stand next to Billy, one hand resting on the trembling shoulder of his lover.

He reached out and lifted up the huge silver dome and there lay the most luxurious mountain of Black Forest cake ever seen. Mounds of whipped cream surrounded the large circular cake, cherries dotted the cream and you could feel the weight attaching itself to your hips as Mike took the sterling silver server and cut a rich thick slice of cake. He placed it on a plate and sat it down in front of Billy, watching, as Billy was speechless. Then he picked up a spoon, and dished several of the fresh strawberries that surrounded the cake onto Billy’s plate.

“See, I told you I had a special dessert for you”

“Yes you did”

“You like it?”

“More than anything else, yes Mike, I love it”

Mike cut a thinner slice for himself, and then he too sat down. They sat there, across from each other just staring, looking deep into the other’s soul, quietly eating their dessert, knowing that this was only the beginning of their evening. The wind blew in from the balcony, a warm wind that had a hint of jasmine in it and it added to the mood of the night.

There wasn’t any need for words now, they both could feel each other’s desires and needs as if they really were just one person. Each mouthful was an experience of joy, as they watched the food travelling down the throat of the other, knowing that soon it would be filled with another source of cream and protein. Billy could feel his heart starting to tremble, as it felt Mike’s shadow cross over and touch it. His legs were barely touching Mike’s and he could feel the answering shudder from Mike. They really were one, no amount of hesitation or doubts could alter that, they were one.

As the last bite left Billy’s fork and entered his mouth, Mike watched. He saw the food as it was swallowed and he could see it travelling down that perfect throat. The milky white flesh quivering as the last morsel of cake was eaten, signalling an end to that phase of the evening. For a few moments they just sat there, looking at each other even more intensely, asking if this was for real, asking if they wanted this to go on, knowing the answer long before the question could really be formed even.

Finally, they both had their answers. Mike stood up and keeping his eyes on Billy, he went around and turned off the lights, making sure the door was locked and then he came up to Billy. He reached out with his hand as soft music could be heard. Billy reached up with his hand, letting Mike help him up to his feet and then hand in hand he let Mike lead him to the bedroom.

With Mike leading, they entered the bedroom where soft music was playing from the stereo in the room. Mike stopped by the large bay windows that led to the balcony and he quickly threw them open to let the wind blew in. The sheer drapes billowed and danced in the winds throes and he turned back, only a single soft light shining from near the bed on in the entire bedroom.

Tears were in his eyes as he walked up to Billy and held out his hand. Billy gave his own hands to mike and allowed himself to be pulled gently inwards until his body was held close up against Mike’s. Then Mike started to place his one hand out and the other was firmly around Billy’s waist. He looked into Billy’s eyes and as the soft music played, they started to dance a slow waltz.

With a firmness he really didn’t feel, Mike led Billy around the small patch of carpet at the foot of the bed and by the opened balcony doors. They waltzed together, their eyes never leaving each other as the music played on and the wind continued to blow the drapes around. On they danced, holding each other in their arms, their hearts singing to the music now, their souls rejoicing to the words of the song as their bodies clung to each other, becoming one once more for the night.

Carefully Mike guided Billy around the room, making sure he steered cleared of any obstacles and yet his eyes never left Billy’s. He could feel the warmth from Billy and he felt so light headed, almost as if he would faint and yet he knew he wouldn’t as they danced, enjoying the simple touch of each other’s bodies.

They had no idea how long they danced, but without any words, they just stopped. There they stood, together, arm in arm, hand in hand as the wind swirled around them. As if on cue, both sets of eyes started to close as their mouths came closer and closer to each other. They could smell each other’s breath now, as their lips brushed lightly, then harder as their mouths came together and their lips joined now, pressing against each other.

The wild taste of chocolate mingled with fresh strawberries was still on their breath but within seconds it was replaced by the taste of their desire for each other. Mike’s tongue flicked out, licking the warm lips of his lover and he could feel his groin stirring, but his heart kept him still, letting the desire build slowly. Billy’s tongue followed Mike’s and just as Mike’s heart stilled his natural urges, so to did Billy’s and the kiss became sweet and long.

The two young heads broke apart, the eyes opening again to gaze with total love into each other. Slowly they turned to face the billowing wind and as one, they stepped forward, the thin fabric of sheer lace billowing all around their young shivering bodies. They stared out into the night, looking across at the twinkling lights of a modern bustling city. The reds, greens, and blues exploded all around them, as their eyes looked over their world and then it was as if their hearts needed more than that and holding hands, they turned their attention heaven wards.

Their eyes opened wider as the heavens appeared in front of their young faces. The brilliant white and blue flares of the stars passed before them and they felt their hearts soaring above them, reaching upwards, striving for the heavens and the unbounded energy that was there. Just as they had danced in the room for each other, now the sky seemed to be weaving its own mystical dance for them. Stars shone brightly then faded from the scene as other’s took their place, the moon casting its glow across the entire heavens moving their thoughts from the confines of their world into the realm of the Lord, the place where their love could truly find its place.

Mike turned slowly towards Billy and he smiled a soft warm look. His hands moved away from the tight hold of Billy’s hand and he slowly removed his dinner jacket; the dark coat slipping off his shoulders to lie at his feet. His green eyes rested on Billy’s powder blue eyes, seeing his reflection mirrored within and he sighed deeply, feeling the very depths of his soul as his heart continued to soar above him, high in the heavens, among the moon and stars of the universe.

Billy’s own jacket found its way slowly off his body, to rest also on the floor, while its owner continued to be hypnotized by the emeralds that glittered before him. His heart was singing with joy as it frolicked above, chasing Mike’s heart with wild glee and a youthful exuberance that was unmatched in the universe that night.

His hands were deliberate and precise as they removed the tie around his neck, watching his moves being echoed by Billy’s own hands. Only a second or two delay existed as Mike continued to deliberately undress himself, the wind billowing around him and Billy, their hearts climbing higher into the heavens, finally released to be free and to love with wild abandon.

Time passed but was non-existent between them. Ever so slowly, they shed themselves of the trappings of the night, until finally both young men stood among the billowing lace drapes, their white flesh glistening in the shimmering lights of the sky above them. Both of them, perfect specimens of young manhood; stood before the other, their eyes never once moving to gaze at the milky white flesh of their human bodies. They had long since passed that stage as their hearts did somersaults in the sky above, racing at light speed to touch the farthest stars in the sky, to feel the light and heat that was contained within those shimmering pulsars that dotted the nights canvas.

With a single mind, the two young men moved closer together, and as they came to stand as one, high above them the brilliant light of the North Star started to vibrate and grow even brighter. The touch of Mike’s hand on Billy’s shoulder sent lightning bolts between them and yet Billy merely flinched a little, waiting for the full power of Mike’s love to reach out for him, to surround and take him within its firm grasp. His heart stopped for a second, and then like a passing meteor it shot upwards towards the dark vastness of space, its wake leaving a clear symbol of its joy.

Billy placed his hand on Mike’s waist, resting it on the hip and as he touched the hot flesh of his lover, he could feel the heart beating, the blood pulsing through the entire young frame and he knew that it was also his beat, his blood and that he was home, that wherever Mike stood, so would he stand. As that thought filled his mind he found Mike moving in closer and he saw the face coming closer and he licked his lips, opening them just slightly as he awaited Mike’s kiss.

The warm breath blew across his face, and he breathed in deeply that special scent the signalled the closeness of Mike to his body. He felt his hand sliding from around the waist to rest on the small of Mike’s back. Billy’s other hand up resting on Mike’s broad shoulder. His whole body trembled with anticipation as Mike grew closer to him now, his lips brushing tenderly his own lips and then at last they began to press on his mouth.

For the moment, Mike was content to just kiss lightly the warm red lips of Billy. He could feel his heart flying high above, soaring in the night’s sky. His hands were touching the soft flesh of Billy, the tender flesh that contained the greatest heart he had ever known. Nothing else could ever make him whole as his Billy could. With that thought, he found his tongue gently pushing past the warm lips, pressing up against the teeth that eagerly opened to allow his tongue entrance to the mouth.

As he drank fully of Billy’s mouth, he found his body pressing hard up against the sizzling flesh of Billy. His hands cupped the quivering white flesh of Billy’s buttocks and bringing the body hard into his own. His groin crushed hard into Billy’s and his chest rested firmly up against Billy’s. Unlike other times, there was no thundering sounds of hearts beating for they were flying high in the heavens, slowly starting to circle each other, no longer chasing the stars or the moonbeams.

Just as their two physical bodies started to grind together, the two hearts started to dart towards each other. Their joy shining as they came closer to each other, the pulsing beat of both now in unison as Mike’s hands roamed gingerly along the back of his lover. He could feel Billy’s hands sliding gently down his buttocks, feeling the fleshy cheeks as their two groins pushed together.

He could feel the love flowing into him, reaching deep within his body towards his soul and as the hot flame of love touched his centre, he could feel his own love reaching Billy’s. As if the time had come, the two hearts suddenly burst in the night sky, sending a myriad of showers upwards. Brilliant lights of green, blue, yellow, purple, red and even white showered the heavens as both hearts roared and fuelled by the unfettered love of each other, rose to new heights and made them into raging fireballs of desire and love.

Mike and Billy rocked in the blowing wind and for several seconds they staggered under the pounding explosion of their hearts. Their hot young bodies grew even hotter, as the flesh seemed to melt under the fireball of love that was consuming them from within. They staggered back, their feet shuffling along the floor and they found themselves now stretched out on their sides, both of them resting on the firm coolness of the large bed.

For them the night sky turned into daytime. The light from their hearts now filled the heavens with its brilliance as the two hands moved faster along the road map that was etched across their bodies. Mike’s hand now pushed harder as it reached across to play with the solid nipples on Billy’s chest. Billy’s hand poked harder and pulled at the firm cheeks, feeling them quiver to each touch, each press of his fingers into the milky white skin. His breathing was starting to grow shallow as his heart was becoming more fiery, more volatile with desire. The raging inferno deep in his soul was reaching upwards, eager to join with the two fireballs that now filled the night sky.

Billy’s one leg now reached over Mike’s, his young hard cock now pressed forward, just under Mike’s own hot hard love pole. Their balls both ached as they groped for each other, their mouths eagerly drinking of the other. Billy’s now moved away, his tongue licking at Mike’s lips and then his chin, then moving quickly down to reach far under the chin, towards the hollow of Mike’s neck. As he did his head moved to lay on one side and Mike’s face pressed down, his long thick raspy tongue flicked out and licked around Billy’s ear lobe, tasting that flesh that he knew no other living being would ever taste or hold or feel. This was his love, and the knowledge that he was the only person living that would be privileged to caress and hold it, made his heart burst even more. The fire grew hotter inside him and he could feel it radiating outwards, making his body melt as rivers of sweat now started to come forth.

Mike’s whole body felt like an oven, his love grew hotter as his hands pressed and poked Billy’s fresh 16-year-old body. His hands shook as Billy continued to lick him and he could no longer reach the head, and instead he found his own head pushing backwards, turning his body slowly off its side to rest on his back. Billy pushed hima little and Mike now stared upwards, watching his heart dance together with Billy’s. He smiled as Billy’s tongue roared down his chest, teasing his nipples then suddenly he cried out as the tongue licked and circled each nipple and then felt the pressure of Billy’s teeth as they nibbled lightly on his flesh.

Both of his hands now clasped Billy’s head between them. Carefully and with a tender touch but firm pressure he started to guide his lover downwards, to take his mouth of his erect nipples and send that hot raspy tongue down his chest, down towards the small tuft of hair that was his treasure trail and he could feel his stomach aching, demanding its turn in this grand love festival. Billy didn’t disappoint it, or Mike.

His tongue licked hard, then softly, then hard again as it moved down the shaking body. He felt the tremors beginning, deep within Mike and his own body followed them as they came upwards to race through the thin fabric of Mike’s body. Each tremor only making his own body ache and shake as well. His soul was burning hot and bright deep inside and slowly he could feel the flames of his love coming closer and closer to the surface. His skin was hot; the beads of sweat threatening to became a raging flood of desire and lust.

Mike’s hot penis was pressing up into Billy’s upper chest, near his throat as his head was busy licking and chewing at the soft belly, tasting the salty flesh as he grew close to Mike’s pole of love. His body ached, the pain growing second by second inside as he wanted to feel the hot throbbing love of Mike buried deep into his soul. He looked up, forcing Mike’s hands to stop their gentle but firm press downwards. The blue flashed from within him as he gazed upwards, seeing the answering green flash of a lightning bolt come straight towards his soul. Billy felt it hit him square and true. His legs twitched, then shook again as Mike’s love reached and ignited the very centre of his soul.

He crawled upwards, his hips now pressing up and his thighs gripping hold of Mike’s legs, pressing them in. His whole upper torso rose up to tower over the quivering body of his lover. Glancing down now, he saw the milky white flesh being singed by his desire, knowing that he would soon consume that body with his love.

The legs beneath him stopped twitching, the body no longer quaked and the green eyes gazed upwards, waiting for him to join him in an embrace of their love. Billy raised his hips upwards, reaching back with one hand to grip the hot pole, and then slide it along the moist lining of his cheeks. The hot cock head pressed up, a steady stream of milky pre cum oozed from the trembling cock, dripping down its vibrating shaft.

Up in the heavens, two exploding hearts stood apart, the flames surrounding them flickering, as if about to race skywards towards the sun as below, Mike could feel his penis resting up against Billy’s tight pink hole. He shivered a little; a strange warm glow started to flow up and down his spine as his soul started to burn hotter. Time had stood still, they both looked at each other, their eyes locked together in an unbreakable bond of love.

A loud cry burst forth, the two hearts suddenly sprang forward towards each other, and deep with two young boys, two souls suddenly exploded in an earth-shattering roar. Billy had pushed down just as Mike’s hips arched upwards and at last, the two bodies had joined together in one giant moment of exploding love. The long hot pole went skyward, melting past any hesitations, knifing through any opposition as it drove inwards, stretching and filling Billy with a deep physical sense of their love.

While Billy’s fleshy cheeks came down hard onto Mike’s thighs and groin, Billy’s hard penis was suddenly grabbed by one of Mike’s sweaty hands and the dripping white pre cum was wiped down the hot thick shaft, and Billy’s cry of joy joined with Mike’s and the room shook to their vocal exultation. Heavenwards, the two giant fireballs that were their hearts came together in one sudden violent crash. In a second, the two hearts became one gigantic fireball, burning out of control at God’s feet.

They cried as they felt the strong hands reach down and hold their burning love in its own loving hands. Mike cried as he thrashed on the bed, feeling Billy’s own body twisting and turning on top of his. His head bashed from side to side as his soul grew hotter, the fire now burning through his mortal flesh to engulf not just him, but the love of his life. Just as Mike’s, own soul burned free, Billy’s burst forth to add its own heat to the raging fires of their union.

Billy’s legs were melting under the flames of love and his head was tossed back and forth on his shoulders as the rest of his body simply began to melt into Mike’s pooling body. They rocked together, Mike’s one hand holding on to Billy’s pole, feeling it burning the flesh of the palm of his hand, yet refusing to let go, refusing to surrender his need for that love.

He saw Mike’s face floating in front of him, the emerald green eyes blocked out by the hot white flames of love that poured out of every orifice of Mike’s temporal being. His spirit rose and he felt himself shaking, his own body now glowing white hot from his love and need for Mike. His body no longer his, now it belonged only to Mike as did his heart and soul. The flames of love burned hotter as the room grew dark around him, the sky no longer in his sight as all he could see was the deep blue of love that had come for him.

They rocked back and forth, their bodies no longer theirs as their love was now in control. He could feel it deep inside of his body, reaching inwards to pierce his soul, to force its own love into his soul and he shook, willing his mortal body to move faster, to bring them closer quicker and harder. Mike’s own body was turning into a molten bed of love as his frame was glued to Billy’s melting flesh. Nothing else mattered as his hand stroked up and down the hard throbbing cock that it held. His mind was filled with only one thought, one desire, and that was to be a part of Billy, forever.

Their hearts continued to reach upwards, cradled in the long loving hand of the Lord. Four hovering eyes stared at the shimmering orb that was their heart and they watched as the golden face bend down, its lips reaching out and gently kissed the burning orb contained in its hand. Mike yelled as the lips touched his heart, Billy cried out in pure ecstasy as he felt the soft lips brush against his heart and together they felt their souls finally burst through, each one now mingling with the other.

At last, they were one and Mike’s whole body shuddered and quaked. Billy’s body was spent, his mortal frame started to sink as it exploded outwards. Hot streams of his seed blew outwards, covering the liquid pools that were once Mike’s chest and face. The seed shot forwards, coating and instead of cooling the raging fires, only fuelled them more.

Mike’s throbbing gun of love fired its shell of love deep inside of Billy. IT sped forward, piercing the already exploding soul and filled it with Mike’s own love as well. The hot shell tore into Billy’s body, filling it with the hot passion that Mike had for Billy and it came bursting out as the two souls joined. Mike’s legs were bouncing on the bed, his body no longer solid but merely a raging river of passion and love that was for Billy to swim and frolic in.

Both of them laid on the bed, their temporal bodies exhausted and yet it wasn’t over. Looking deep into their souls they watched as their two hearts, joined together in a fiery explosion of love was now being cradled in God’s hands. With a tenderness unknown to man, the fireball of their being was slowly brought to his bosom, where it rested, the fires slowly calming down to become nothing more than a glowing orb of blue flame.

Mike could feel a strange love flowing inside of his soul, a strange love that simply filled him with warmth, peace, and calm. As it ran through his veins, he could feel it also filling Billy’s body and he saw the hand cradling their heart clutch it with a love that he never though could exist. He felt the calming spirit as it passed from the gentle hand to their heart, and he knew that no matter what the world held for them on earth, that they would always be as one, always have the love and support of their true father.

Billy could see a deep glow burning in the centre of their heart, as It rested in the Lord’s hands. He watched in amazement as he felt the love, knowing that he wasn’t just loved by Mike but by God as well, knowing that his choice, his decision to take Mike as his, was a right choice and the fears of the future no longer tore at his spirit. His soul was filled with the strange love that wasn’t Mike’s and yet he knew that this was a love that would feed his own, that would nourish his passion and keep him safe from harm.

Their eyes opened wide, as the watched the hand of God reach out, holding their heart outwards and towards them, and then they felt a warm gentle breath, one that made them tremble as its power flowed into them. They saw the breath as it surrounded and held their heart and then slowly the hand released them, letting their heart fall downwards, towards the up reaching fingers of their souls. Slowly the giant red orb broke into two pieces, becoming two hearts now, as it floated gently down, finally coming to rest on the loving fingertips of their souls.

Billy trembled a little as he saw the giant orb break into two but just as he watched It slowly become two pieces, Mike’s voice echoed in his soul, telling him that only death could ever split them apart, and then, only for a short time, because they were destined to be together forever, in eternity, in love. As the heart became two, he could see that each piece was different, but that it was still only one heart.

Watching his fingertips reach upwards, cradling that which was his side, his piece of what really was a part of one, he knew that Mike’s words would always comfort him, because he had seen it, he had seen that together they would indeed frolic amongst the stars, as one, when their time came. He knew now that death was merely an interlude and he smiled as his body curled up into Mike’s arms. He would dance again with Mike, when their time came and not before. The press of warm lips on his head made him sigh, for Billy was content.
