Chapter 33

A Time To Choose

Chris was finally able to get control over himself and exit the damn office. As soon as he stepped into the elevator his mind once more tried to turn to images of Seth and the boys but he fought it off, knowing he couldn’t always be seen with a raging hard on. This was the tough part of being in love, and as that idea floated around in his head, he smiled and then frowned.

He really was in love and the whole concept scared him a little. First, here he was in his late 30′s and with a son and he was in love like some teenager. What was worse, he was in love with a highly successful lawyer, who was not just prominent in legal circles but in politics and the community. If that wasn’t enough to make you see a shrink, how about that he was going for custody of his child from a women who wrote the book on ‘status’ and ‘religious activism’ of which being gay certainly wasn’t in her vocabulary.

Seth had warned him, that his move to gain custody would lead to many questions and could, in fact most likely, would result in him being outed. The problem would be with his client base in how many would stay and how many would suddenly find an excuse to walk. He was afraid of that, because without a solid economic base, no judge would even consider awarding him custody. Funny, if he was whoring around with other women, there would be no problem, in fact he most likely would stand a better chance of gaining custody and not losing a damn client than by being monogamous with another male.

Pulling into the driveway and coming up to the house, he swore as he saw Seth’s car parked already in its spot. Damn it, he was last one home tonight and in this house of two sweaty teenagers and two horny adults, it generally meant that last one home got the cold shower. He would have to lobby Seth to purchase a larger hot water tank, so everyone could have a nice hot shower, even the last person home. Mind you, it did have its advantages.

Last night he was last but Seth had waited for him so they could shower together before dinner. He enjoyed those spontaneous meeting of the hearts and they had slowly undressed, knowing that Billy had dinner well in hand. They had undressed slowly, each of them taking their time in removing the day’s garments. Together they stood there, revelling in the other’s loving gaze at their manhood and together, hand in hand, they stepped into the nice steamy shower.

He always did enjoy that part of their lovemaking, slowly working each other up to a climatic point. This was no different and they took their time, as Billy had said dinner would be late, which obviously meant he and Mike had spent some extra time getting cleaned up themselves after school, least that was their opinion at the time.

Walking up the steps to the front door he could recall how warm he had felt, as Seth slowly moved his hands up and down his body, gently covering it with a soft scented soap, carefully touching him everywhere and how his heart was pounding with each press of Seth’s long tapered fingers. He loved to feel Seth against his body and he could feel his hot breath on his cheeks as the kissed under the steamy soft spray of the shower.

He had no idea how or when, but they suddenly heard the toilet in the bathroom flush and Chris recalled how Seth’s eyes grew wide in disbelief. They didn’t have the advantage of youth and before either of them could move out of the way, the hot steamy spray turned to a raging blizzard of ice water and they screamed out as the cold icy water cascaded all over them. As they ran to get out of the way of the icy shower, they heard the triumphant laughter of boys and found the sink also had the hot water tap running, and as they clambered out of the shower, they could see the backsides of two jeans clad boys scampering out of the door.

Seth had looked over at Chris, and a gradual smile began to cross his face as he rubbed himself dry with a huge terry towel.

“Kids”

“Yeah”

“I’ll get them”

“I am sure you will, in the meantime, do you think you could pass me a towel? I am shivering”

Seth had tossed him a towel and then they just seemed to look at each other, and burst out laughing. Chris had to admit, it was a beautifully executed plan, the way they had been set up to believe they first of all had the time for a nice hot shower, and then the way they had waited to just the right moment, not to long or to early into the shower, to let them have it.

Chris had a big smile on his face as walked inside, remembering that Seth was true to his word and they did indeed get even with the boys. The problem with that was that it was at best a temporary situation. War had been declared and there was no telling when it would finally end, and in a candid discussion, Seth hoped it never would because, as he put it, he was having the time of his life.

Both of them had come down to dinner, to find two perfectly spoken young men seated at the table. Platters of sizzling steaks with baked potatoes were at each place along with two huge icy pitchers of fruit juice. Chris had gone to sit down and Seth reached between Mike and Billy and started to fill their glasses with the juice. He then walked over to fill Chris’ glass and then as everyone sighed in relief he started to walk back to his side of the table, to fill his own glass last, when he just started to pour what was left in the pitcher over Billy’s head.

Mike and Chris both burst out laughing, as Billy got soaked. Seth just smiled, as he made sure each drop of juice was empty and then he calmly went and sat down at the table. He filled his own glass from the other pitcher and in a soft voice, asked Billy to pass the gravy. Mike was howling in laughter that was quickly ended as Billy reached out and tossed his full glass of juice at Mike.

“What did you do that for?”

“Well, I got soaked”

“Yeah, so?”

“Well, it was your idea to turn on the hot water taps, you should have been the one to get soaked”

“Oh, okay then”

With that, Mike picked up his own glass and tossed on his own head. He then burst out laughing and stood up and stripped off his shirt. He looked down at Billy, a mischievous glint in his eyes as Billy smiled back. Billy then stood up and also stripped his wet shirt off and then together they sat back down, a squishing sound off the chairs, and they dug in to the food, both of them constantly looking at the other, oblivious to the stares of both Seth and Chris.

In between mouthfuls of a well-prepared dinner, Chris would stop to steal a glance over at Seth. He would feel a slight tug at his heart each time as he saw the way Seth looked. He was completely at ease, a sense of calm that Chris really had never seen until lately seemed to come over Seth at dinner. It was as if he was at peace with life, no worries intruding on his thoughts as he watched his two boys and lover eat dinner.

Chris had to admit, dinnertime was becoming one of his favourites as well. He enjoyed the friendly banter that now seemed to flow constantly between everyone and the sight of the two bare chested young men enjoying the meal was especially pleasing to him. He noticed how Billy was filling out more, his pecs becoming more defined as he was constantly working out with Mike. He could see the definition in Mike’s frame too, saw it become more honed with time and he knew they were becoming very well developed men. They must be the envy of everyone at school, not to mention the obvious desire of the female students. He wondered, briefly, how they were dealing with that aspect of school life but figured that for now, they were too busy to have it become a problem.

“Hey, about time you got here, come on we are having an early dinner, remember?”

Seth’s words broke through his reverie and he smiled. He had forgotten that it was an early dinner, and that Seth had a rare evening appointment. He was a little sad, as he had had his heart set on maybe having a nice shower with Seth, instead he would just have to wait till later.

“Sorry, yeah I did forget, won’t be a second”

Chris had hurried and he sat down to the table, freshly changed into an old t-shirt and pair of jeans. He had learned, you didn’t wear a suit to dinner anymore, mainly because you never knew who was going to do what. It was the perfect way to end a day of work, and he rather felt some of that comfort, some of that peace, as he sat down to a nice stir-fry meal made form leftovers. One thing he had to say, Billy was an excellent cook.

“This is a good Billy”

“Thanks Chris”

“Yep, no wonder Mike is so in love with you”

“Huh?”

“Well, you are going to make him a perfect wife to come home to each night”

Billy spluttered and almost choked on his food as he just glared over his fork at Chris. He indeed had fallen for that one, and with those words, the evening’s duel began.

“haha, he’s got you there dearie”

“Fuck off Mike”

“Yes dear”

“Now William, that is no way to talk to Michael”

“Oh right another county heard from, thanks a lot, what is this? Pick on Billy night?”

“hehe, but you look so cute when you wrinkle your nose up and get all in a huff”

“Watch it Jock Boy or there will be no conjugal rights for you tonight”

“See Seth, I told you he’s the perfect wife, he even knows how to withhold his favours to get us poor men in line”

Billy flung a piece of carrot at Chris, who was quick enough to see it coming and duck out of the way. One thing about their dinners, it was a real bitch afterwards in cleaning up. You would of thought a herd of elephants had dined there.

“Now boys, and girl…”

“Oh, thanks a lot Daddy dear”

“Well someone has to be the adult here…”

“Yeah? And this from the man who spends at least an hour each night whimpering while his lover ploughs him?”

“Whimpers? Me?”

“Yeah you Daddy”

“I do not whimper, do I Chris?”

“Well, uh, geez Seth, you do sound a lot like Billy sometimes”

The spoonful of mashed potatoes hit him square on the side of the face and he couldn’t help but laugh. He wiped them off and reached for his own spoon, to join in the battle when he noticed how Mike was suddenly very quiet and serious looking. Chris realized, in that second, that no matter the banter, Mike would defend Billy and he let the spoon rest on the plate. He wasn’t scared of mike, it was just that Mike had the big bowl of potatoes in his hand and in short terms, he had more ammunition.

“No throwing food children, daddy has a meeting later and doesn’t have time to stay and help clean up, so play nice now”

“And he doesn’t think he whimpers? What was that whine then?”

“Christopher, I shall deal with you when I get home”

“Oh oh Chris, better look out, he might get all lawyer like on you”

“Oh I can handle that Mike, its only when he brings out those damn French ticklers that I get nervous”

“French what?”

“You know Billy, French ticklers… haven’t you experts tried them?”

“No… what the hell are they?”

“Really? Oh well you boys are missing out, it’s a rubber ring that has tiny rubber nodules all around it, you slip it on your dick before you, well I think you get the picture.”

“Oh cool, that sounds like fun, can we try that Mike?”

“Yeah, got any we can borrow Chris?”

“Sure Mike”

“HEY! You trying to corrupt my two young uns here?”

“Corrupt them? You gotta be kidding… besides I am just helping Mike out, so he can teach Billy how to groan and yell instead of whimper…”

“Bitch”

“Yep”

“Hey, if you are the ‘bitch’ then that makes you dad’s wifey… no wonder you and Billy get along together, two wives comparing notes”

“HAHA, He’s got you there Chris”

“Yes, and as your daughter told his hubby, I’ll tell you the same, no nookie for you tonight either”

“Shit Mike looks like we are both gonna have to rely on the palm sisters tonight”

“Well geez dad, I don’t think so, I know how to make my sweetie forget all about that threat, don’t I sweetie?”

“Keep it up Jock boy and I doubt it”

“Yeah? And just what do you use to sway her?”

“Funny dad, he doesn’t use anything, I just relent, can’t stand to see him beg”

“Beg? Me? I do not beg”

“Do to”

“Do not”

“Do to, and we can go up right now and I’ll prove it to you”

“Will not, besides, I want desert first”

“Oh? And just what the hell am I?”

“You are a feast of blondness”

“Shit, will you two stop it, a guy could gain 20 pounds from all the sweetness you two drip”

“hehe, okay”

“Hey, just a second, what do you mean no dessert tonight?”

“It’s too expensive to have desert everynight”

“Too expensive? Now just a minute here young man, I give you a very generous budget for the household expenses, just exactly what are you spending all that money on?”

“well gee Dad, it isn’t my fault, it isn’t like I am going to the market and dumping a whole load of shit onto the household account there”

“Oh come on Billy, maybe I have picked up a few extras but that isn’t enough to cause a dent in the budget.”

“Oh right, like 48 extra cans of whipped cream is one or two little items”

“Uh, ooops”

“Yeah ooops, and that’s even after they give us a 10% discount on the whipped cream too”

“haha he’s got you there Seth”

“Haha, yes he does, and just what are you smiling at Chris? It isn’t like you aren’t the one who keeps asking for more whipped cream….”

“Hehe, well what can I say, but you taste better with lots of ooey gooey cream all over”

“Geez, listen to those two, and all we manage to snag is maybe three or four cans for ourselves, talk about being unfair to us kids, right Mike?”

“Personally it doesn’t matter to me, I kind of like the peanut butter better myself, but you just don’t like doing the laundry with peanut butter and jam all over the sheets”

“Peanut Butter? Shit, so that’s where it’s all been going”

“Well, you don’t leave us any whipped cream”

“Oh you poor thing, well you can wait, you have your whole life ahead of you to enjoy lots of whipped cream, give your old man a break, he has to get caught up”

“Haha, can I intrude and make a suggestion here?”

“Sure why not Chris, a sane idea would be refreshing”

“Yeah, well why don’t you just go to the dairy wholesale and buy it in bulk, should be a lot cheaper too”

“Gee Chris, now I know why I am glad Dad brought you into the family, that is a good idea”

“You are?”

“Huh? Oh, yeah of course I am”

“Thanks Billy”

“Well, its for selfish reasons”

“Oh? How’s that?”

“Easy, with you here, he doesn’t walk the halls so much and keep staring in at us, so we have to stop until he goes away”

“William”

“Yes Dad? I mean its true, you did keep poking your head in to see what we were doing, at least now, with Chris here, you poke your head in, get all goofy eyed and go to your own bed where we hear you whimper in no time flat”

“Shit, he got me”

“HAHA, yes Seth he did get you on that one”

“Uh Chris?”

“Yes Mike?”

“There is one problem with your idea about getting the stuff bulk”

“What’s that?”

“You going to have to get dad to get us another fridge”

“Another fridge?”

“Uh huh, I mean where else we gonna keep enough whipped cream, strawberries?”

“Great Chris, now I have to get another refrigerator to keep our sex toys in, I can just see me explaining that one”

“Hey Dad, who’s your meeting with tonight? Thought you weren’t going to take any cases that required so much work?”

“Oh, its for Judge Hallan”

“Hallan? Isn’t he the family court judge that you said NASA could use the inside of his head for exploration instead of going out to space?”

“Yes Billy it is”

“Hey, Seth, you aren’t doing this because you think it’ll help us when we get into court in two weeks are you?”

“No, of course not Chris”

“Court in two weeks, hey you never told us”

“Sorry, but yeah we got a court date, we can’t let it go to the summer, just in case”

“Yeah but you said Hallan was the designated Judge for Family Court this term”

“Yep”

“But Seth, you said we’d rather have, shit, what was that other Judge’s name, Espanoza or something like that?”

“Pretty good Chris, yes I would prefer Judge Espanoza, but he’s the back up judge for Family Court this time around”

“Why don’t you want Hallan Dad?”

“Well Billy, he’s pretty well known as being anti gay for starters, secondly he rarely has given joint custody let alone sole custody to the male of the relationship, so he’s not really the type we want to try this case”

“Uh, well, can’t you wait till later, when there is a different judge on?”

“Yes and No, if we wait, till after Barbara gets married, we lose some physiological benefits, plus it weakens our arguments, so no, we really can’t wait”

“Then why are you helping this judge, if not to influence him for your case?”

“It isn’t done that way Billy”

“Shit, I get it”

“You do Mike?”

“Really?”

“Yes really Blondie I do, I am not just a super jock ya know”

“Hehe, oh I know that, but boy it is super…”

“Pervert, and I’ll deal with you later”

“Promises, that’s all I get from this man”

“Okay children, you can settle that later, so Mike, just what is it you get?”

“You are manipulating the system”

“Huh? How’s he doing that Mike, I mean I don’t get this either Seth, so come on Mike, maybe you can explain it”

“Okay Chris, see, if I have this right Seth, you want this Judge Espanoza to hear Chris’ case, cause he’s more likely to give you a fairer hearing”

“Yes”

“But, cause of the court scheduling, if you go now, you get this other Judge, and he sucks”

“Hehe, yep”

“But, if you appear in his court, and are also involved in a case where he’s your client, you can get him …shit what’s the word, reclused, recused?”

“Recused is right”

“Yeah, he has to pass the case off, cause he’s got a conflict, so this way you get the judge you want, and without any risk to weakening the case by having to wait for this judge, right?”

“Very good Mike, you are learning”

“God, I knew you lawyer’s were tricky, but uh, Seth, can’t he figure that out too and maybe have a backlash?”

“Nope, see I took his case before I took your on”

“Huh? How the hell…”

“Remember, I asked you to give me a cheque last week?”

“Yea”

“That was the retainer, so technically you became my client 18 days after I took on Judge Hallan’s case… so no way can he claim I set him up”

“Nifty Dad”

“Thank you son, and that was pretty good figuring on your part Mike”

“Thanks Dad, but its all due to Billy”

“Huh? To me? How you figure that one out?”

“Oh, oh, careful son”

“Easy Billy, I have to know how a clever person thinks, so I can keep one jump ahead of you, I mean seriously Billy, how else am I ever going to surprise you if I didn’t spend hours trying to out guess you?”

“Aaah, I think that is a compliment”

“Hehe, take it as one Son, much easier”

“Yeah I suppose so, besides its more fun to reward a compliment”

“So I was hoping… uh ”

“Yep, good luck on your meeting dad, and Chris?”

“Yes Billy?”

“This wife has to go do her wifely duties, so guess you’re stuck with the dishes cause your man is going off to work…. haha”

Before Chris or Seth could say a word, Billy was up and heading towards the stairs with Mike close on his heels. The sound of the bedroom door slamming woke them both up out of their reverie. Chris smiled as he saw the satisfied grin on Seth’s handsome face. God, he looked so desirable sitting there, a smart ass grin all across his face. He had every reason to be smug too; it was amazing how those two kids could reason something out, and always passing the credit to the other.

“They sure are something, aren’t they?”

“Yeah they are Chris, I am one lucky man”

“Yes, to have such fine kids like that, I would say you are very lucky indeed”

“Oh that isn’t what I meant, though I am lucky in that too”

“What did you mean?”

“That I have you to share them with, to share all this with, wouldn’t be half as enjoyable without you being here”

“Shit”

“What? Chris…”

“Damn you Seth… you are making me all teary eyed”

“Sorry, but I meant what I said”

“I know you did, but your timing sucks”

“Huh?”

“You use a good line like that and before I can take advantage of it, get all weepy and sappy and take you into my arms then love the shit out of you, you use it when we don’t have time”

“Chris.. fuck you bastard”

“Hehe, yep, but I’ll save it for when you get home, stud man”

“God, I need to get you away from those two upstairs”

“Oh? Why’s that?”

“You getting too much like them, now I got a hard on and you are right, there isn’t time”

“Haha, well why should I be the only one walking around frustrated and hard all night?”

“Oh sure, least you can do something about it, I have to go be with one of the most annoying and stupid men I have ever met”

“You poor thing, but don’t worry, I’ll make it up to you when you get home”

“You better”

“Wouldn’t have it any other way Seth”

“I know, I gotta go dress… damn I wish I could just …”

“I know, and Seth…”

“Yeah I know too Chris… later”

“Hey, don’t you dare leave without my goodbye kiss”

“I know what I’d rather be kissing…”

“Me too, but save it for later, besides I have a can of whipped cream hidden… for later”

“Oh Shit, Damn it Chris you have been around those two too long, haha”

“Yep, but mainly it’s your fault, I learn from the master, not his offspring”

“Flattery will get you what you want… but yes, later dear… I’ll leave you to the dishes”

“Gee thanks, hehe”

Billy only had to wait a second before Mike entered the room, right behind him and he slammed the door, and then in one giant leap he found himself in Mike’s arms. Mike had been waiting for it, nothing unexpected as he felt Billy’s hot breath on his face and he stared into the blue eyes of his lover. IT was a terrific feeling, to hold the warm body of Billy in his arms, to feel his long strong legs wrapped around his own upper thighs.

The mere touch of Mike’s body next to his was enough to get his cock hard and to make the pre cum flow out the tip. He could feel himself wetting his shorts as he clung to Mike and looked deep into the soul of his lover. He could feel the deep passion and it made him tingle all over as he felt the love wrap around his own body, mingle with his own equally hot passion for Mike.

“So hubby…”

“Yeah?”

“Just what do you want to do now?”

“I don’t know? Read a book?”

Billy pushed and Mike staggered under the weight and finally fell back against the bed. They both fell onto the bed, hearing a loud terrible groan come from the springs and they held their breath, wondering if they would join the family circle of bed destroyers, but luckily for them, the bed held together one more time.

After the bouncing stopped, Billy reached across and lightly kissed Mike’s lips, gently brushing them with his own and he ran his hand gently down the side of Mike’s face, feeling the peach fuzz on his cheeks and under his chin. He could feel the excitement rising inside of his body as he just caressed the warm flesh.

“Billy…”

“mmmm…”

“You know, I don’t think of you as my wife”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“No, seriously, I don’t think of you as the wife or hubby, or me as that either”

“Well, what do you think of us as?”

“I don’t, I mean, shit… I wish I had your way with words.. But see, I think of you as a part of me, that well, only you can make me whole, you aren’t my wife or husband, you are my heart and soul, without you… well I am nothing, I am incomplete, just so much parts… does that make sense?”

The words were like tiny darts that homed in to strike him fully in his heart. The tears started to well up as he stared into the dark green eyes of Mike and he knew that Mike was speaking from deep within his soul. He could feel it, and he knew that all the joking aside, it was exactly how he felt too. It was nice to actually have the thought spoken, and yet each time he looked at Mike, he felt like he was hearing those words.

“I feel the same”

“I know”

“Make us whole Mikey”

Mike smiled, knowing exactly what Billy meant and he stood up slowly, his eyes never leaving the wonderful blond boy stretched out on their bed. He could see his eyes following his every move as he started to undress, to slowly remove every vestige of clothing so he could fulfill his other parts desire, to fulfill his own hearts demand.

He could feel his heart reaching out, struggling to find its missing half, knowing it rested just over there, on the bed, staring at him, willing him to find it and to piece it together one more time. His soul strained with an equal desire and it too was reaching out, willing its other half to sing out, to make itself known so they could join together in what was meant to be.

His shirt lay on the floor, on top of his runners and socks. He stood up tall, showing the young chest, a few dark hairs visible now around the cleft, his young firm pink nipples aching as his stomach muscles rippled across, tightening inside as his hands moved downwards, to reach for his pants. His tongue licked his dry lips, wishing they could be pressed against Billy’s.

As Mike’s hands moved down his tall lanky body, Billy could feel his pulse starting to race faster. The vision of his love surrounded him and Mike and he could feel a lump in his throat, as he watched Mike slowly undress, readying himself to make them one and he felt the ache in his groin growing as the pants slid down the long legs.

Tiny dark swirls of hair became visible to his eyes as the pants were now down to Mike’s ankles. His eyes suddenly locked with the fiery emerald green eyes of Mike and he recoiled as the force of Mike’s love struck him hard and deep. He felt his body shake and roll backwards a little, feeling a glow starting to churn deep within his soul. They had made contact once more, with the promise of more to come and his body shuddered with that realization.

Mike’s body swayed a little, as he took his jeans off. The force of his love leaving had rocked him and he could feel the answering press of Billy’s love as it wrapped around his swaying body, holding it in its own warm grip. His pulse started to race faster, his breathing becoming shallow as he quickly moved to stand back up, the obvious hard outline of his fully aroused penis sticking straight out towards the bed and towards his love.

Billy was anxious and he slipped his runner’s off, his legs twitching a little and a soft whimper escaped his lips as he lay there, gazing at Mike’s nude body. The sound of his whimper brought a warm smile to both of their faces and Billy could feel the warm glow rising up inside of him. It was slowly turning into a burning desire to feel Mike’s flesh against his as Mike tossed his boxer shorts off to one side and stood tall before Billy’s wide open stare.

There were no words spoken. Billy waited for a second, until Mike was standing perfectly straight and tall. He ran his eyes all over the warm golden body, seeing it all, feeling the heart inside pounding, watching the blood flowing all through the young man and then he stood up to rest on the bed, on his knees. His eyes were carefully glued to Mike’s full figure, especially to the long hard thick cock that was gently swaying in front. Tiny globs of white clearly visible on the tip and Billy licked his lips, knowing that shortly he would taste that wonderful creamy pre cum and that Mike would be partaking of his.

With an apparelled grace, Billy removed his own shirt and let it fall off to the floor, his own bare chest now clearly attracting Mike’s warm gaze. He pushed his chest outwards a little, as he brought his legs out from under him, to stretch them out and away from Mike’s nude body at the edge of the bed. He could feel his heart pounding now, excited by the prospect of feeling Mike’s love again today.

His back was towards Mike’s naked body, as he reached down and undid the jean button and zipper. He then pulled the zipper down, its raspy tin like sound echoed in the silence of the room. Only the deep breathing of Mike and his own body filled the emptiness of the room as he lay back onto the bed now. His pants undone and he pushed at them, forcing them down his own long legs.

Billy brought his knees up and forced the jeans over them and then with his legs, he managed to get one leg free of the pants, then the other and they too joined his shirt on the floor. He struggled briefly with his socks, using only his feet to get them off, all the time his head rested on the bed, tilted far back so he could stare at the hot love of his life. He saw him licking his lips as his own hard cock became visible even though he still had his boxer’s on.

With his eyes firmly glued to the sight of Mike’s body, he shoved his boxer’s down his thighs, to once again raise his knees and force them over and off his lower legs. He felt the soft cotton material fall off his foot and float to the floor and he could feel the air rush past the hot throbbing cock as it stuck straight up into the air, pointing at the ceiling.

The vision of his lover’s body was all he wanted to gaze at in life. There was nothing more rewarding to him than to see the soft white flesh coming into view of his eyes. He could feel his heart skipping with joy as the naked flesh came into sight, the wonderful soft skin glowing in the rooms light as it lay stretched out for his eyes only, to be devoured by his love only. That is what made it all so special for him, each and every time that he got to be with Billy.

Billy lay still now, except for the frantic beat of his heart and the rising of his chest. He laid there, his head tilted back towards Mike and he waited as slowly he saw the looming shadow cross his face. His eyes bulged open wide as he saw each muscle rippling in the perfect washboard stomach of Mike as it now towered over him. He blinked and as he re focused, he saw the long throbbing cock over his face; the bed shook to Mike’s knees as they now straddled Billy’s face. He felt the blast of heat coming from Mike’s groin and he could feel Mike’s body as it now stretched over him, Mike’s hands resting on either side of his own waist, Mike’s face now inches above his own throbbing cock.

Mike could hardly contain himself. His whole body was screaming in pure agony, demanding him to let it join with its missing pieces. Slowly, ever so slowly, Mike began to lower his hips, to let his throbbing cock down till the top of his leaking cock touched the hot lips of Billy’s face. His own lips touching the steaming wet tip of Billy’s cock at the same time.

Together the two bodies groaned, their limbs ached and their hearts raced forward in overdrive. Their souls screamed for each other as in unison the two tongues came slaking outwards, to lightly touch the hot tips of two very hot and aroused penises. The bodies shook as they felt the raspy edges of the tongues and the pre cum came out in a steady stream now, coating the two cock heads. Eagerly the two tongues flicked outwards, greedily licking up the sweet salty fluid, taking it back to swirl it briefly inside the mouth before letting it slide down the waiting throat.

The world could have exploded around them and they wouldn’t have heard the blast. Their souls now took charge, each one guiding the mortal flesh so that their spirits could form a perfect union. The tongues moved in and out, the bodies arched up while one slunk down.

Together, two mouths found themselves gorged by the throbbing meat of manhood, each mouth filled by the warm taste of young boyhood coming eagerly to full arousal. Billy’s throat opened wide, letting the thick cock slide down into it, his lips wrapped tightly around the hot flesh, tasting of Mike’s pre cum. Mike felt his hands sliding away as his throat greedily sucked on the thick pole now gorged deep inside. He could taste the salty pre cum, his whole body revelling in its wonderful taste.

Mike’s head bobbed up and down for a few quick hard strokes on Billy’s throbbing cock, he could feel the boy beneath him groan with pleasure, as he sucked on Mike’s own cock, making him moan a little too. He felt Billy’s balls slinging themselves upwards and he pulled his mouth slowly off the long thick saliva soaked penis. The heat intense, singing his face with its burning desire. His heart wanted nothing more than to feast on the hot young pole but he knew his love needed more than that.

As he pulled his lips off the throbbing organ, he slowly raised his hips too. Ever so slowly, his own aching dick pulled free from Billy’s mouth. The grip giving way as he pulled up, breaking free. He turned over to his side, his body aching with the pain of his withdrawal, his stopping for the moment of their coupling.

“Mikey, please…”

Billy’s soft tones fell on Mike’s heart like a ton of bricks. He ached with his lover’s needs and he gathered himself together. He slid his body around, his hands touching the hot burning flesh of Billy’s shaking body. As Mike moved his body around, he leaned back to let the long thin legs rise past him and he now moved quickly. His body slung around, now placing himself between the two upraised legs, feeling the blast of heat coming from Billy’s moist groin.

His sweat soaked chest crawled up Billy’s body. He brushed past the hot throbbing penis, and rubbed up against the flat quivering stomach of Billy. His eyes were glazed as his heart pounded faster and faster. His soul was screaming out to Billy and reaching forward, urging Billy to meet his cries.

Mike pushed his face into Billy’s chest. He licked at the warm flesh, tasting the salty skin as he moved up the shaking body. His face came up to Billy’s neck, kissing the warm hollow now, as his legs pushed up and spread open the waiting and willing crotch of Billy.

Looking up, into Billy’s simmering blue eyes, Mike could feel his cock wedged up against the quivering flesh of Billy’s buttocks. The cock had pushed apart the jiggling flesh, and now rested against the tight pink hole. Nothing but desire flowed through his body, his muscles were all coiled and waiting for that one moment, that one brief second when they could force their way into the very depths of Billy’s body, to send his spirit racing to meet Billy’s own vibrant spirit.

Flashes appeared in front of his eyes as Mike’s penis dove deep inside. Brilliant greens, vibrant reds, all raced between their eyes as Mike penetrated deeply into Billy. Billy cried out loudly, giving vocal sound to the deep passions that were running inside of him. The sound of Billy’s voice made Mike push down even harder, sending his thick hot rod fully inside, making it reach deep, striving to touch the very soul that was crying out for him.

They touched, it was short but they touched. Mike groaned louder now, his whole body shaking as he struggled to stay focused, struggled to keep himself inside, to keep them together. His heart reached out, joining at last with its missing pieces, joining fully with Billy’s to pound the two mortal bodies that housed their one soul.

As Mike came hard and fast, their spirits joined, their thoughts became one and they both could feel each other’s love flowing for the other. He loved Billy; more than life itself as he knew it and Billy could feel it too. He could feel the spirit of their love floating between them, joining them together and forging a bond that nothing on earth could ever break or sunder. They were one as their bodies crashed together, as Mike’s hard rod pushed in time in, time again, always forcing itself to go deeper and harder with each thrust of Mike’s hips.

While Mike’s body crashed into Billy’s body, his chest heaved and he found himself breathing harder with each desperate push of his body. His stomach rubbed hard up against Billy’s throbbing cock, forcing it down and up along Billy’s sweat soaked belly. Together the two bodies struggled among a river of sweat as they fought to keep themselves as one. Together they fought through all pain and sorrows as their fears, their doubts vanished before the awesome force of their love and passion for each other.

The ache grew inside of them both, the pain of holding back grew in intensity as their human shells joined together, fought to melt into each other and become one mass of raw passion. Billy’s tears flowed down his cheeks, to run into the raging rivers of sweat that cascaded down from his forehead. He was so happy, so alive as he felt his insides being filled totally by Mike’s love and body. His balls ached beyond measure, beyond belief, as he ground his body upwards in time with each downward thrust from Mike.

Billy could feel Mike’s milk running up from his balls into his throbbing cock. He felt his own insides tighten, knowing that soon he would bathe in Mike’s seed, would finally have his insides a part of Mike. His own groin twitched, then jerked as his own cum came flooding out, his body unable to control his motions any longer, as their joined spirits had taken command.

With one loud voice, one single ear shattering note, their two bodies joined as one, as their milk came flooding out together in a burst of unbelievable power and majesty. His own cock was spraying the two sweaty bellies, coating it with its sweet stickiness. As his milk coated the outside of their bodies, deep inside of his bowels, he could feel the raging torrent of Mike’s release, feel the warm milk as it filled his insides, soaking into every crevice of his body, and his muscles tightened and struggled to drain every drop from the jerking penis inside.

Chris finally managed to get the last dish put away in the kitchen. The house had grown quiet as the two Romeo’s upstairs had finally finished their lovemaking. God, it was impossible not to have heard them climax their love. He thought for sure the house was the epic centre of a 9.0 earthquake; the way the whole place seemed to shake and quiver to the loud cries coming from Mikey and Billy’s room.

It really wasn’t that there were a great many dishes, just that it took him forever to stop thinking of Seth and how much he wanted and needed him. Of course, the loud noises coming from upstairs didn’t do much to help him keep his dick soft, but then lately, it never did seem to be totally soft and limp. God, what a household he was in, the love just seemed to pour out from every nook and cranny in the place. He couldn’t walk anywhere where he didn’t feel the power of the love that seemed to fill the place.

Walking over to the den, where he slipped his shoes off and curled up to read for a little, until West Wing came on, he wondered what it would be like if Seth was successful. He really did fear the responsibility that he was undertaking, and the terrible strain he would be placing on his relationship with Seth and the family. His mind was filled with doubts about it all, despite everyone’s reassurances to the contrary.

It really did get to him, the fact that he had to keep this secret, and that in reality, while he was luckier than most men in his position in that he had such wonderful support from his lover, he still felt isolated. It was the one real downside to being gay in a society that professed tolerance when in reality it shunned those who didn’t meet its narrow viewpoint. Here he was, living in California, a state known for its so called tolerances of alternative lifestyles and yet it refused overwhelming to grant the same protection to gays as most other citizens had. How confusing was that?

Now he faced a protracted legal battle to simply hang onto his child, to be a part of his life when many states where taking draconian actions to collect child support from those father’s that deserted their kids. Here he wanted to accept that responsibility, and yet if they found out he was gay, he would most likely lose what chance he had.

His wife wanted to move, to start a new life, and he couldn’t argue with that, mainly because it was perfectly natural to want. Yet, if he wanted to do that, with Seth, there would be no question of the court denying him custody, but then if it was with another women, he would still stand a chance. Talk about your sexist viewpoints and now his lawyer, his lover, had to connive to even get the case before a semi reasonable judge. Talk about justice, this wasn’t justice this was just more politics in a world guided by what was popular, what was politically correct, not what was just, or right for the parties involved.

In just the short, few months that he had been allowed back into Keith’s life, there had been a dramatic improvement in his son’s life. He wasn’t a scholar yet, not like Billy or Mike, but he was at least no longer failing in school, and was improving. His so called nightmares no longer kept him up every night, and only on the odd occasion did they even surface. Yet, all of that was at risk, not because he was a bad parent, but because he was gay. He could lose all that, and he would survive it, that he knew, but what about Keith? Could he surmount losing his father one more time?

The dark clouds loomed over him as he sat in the den. His eyes misted over as he waited for that other shoe to fall, that other brick that would send his fragile house of cards tumbling into turmoil. He knew he was being pessimistic, but he had such a wonderful month of love and good fortune, he just couldn’t fathom it lasting. The darkness was always there, waiting to waft in and suffocate the unsuspecting. It was worse when Seth wasn’t near him, at least if he could hear his breathing, or touch his body or just feel his presence, the darkness seemed to stay away, to hold its distance. In some ways, it was as if the darkness knew Seth and knew that he was foe that it could not conquer.

“Man, you looked lost in deep thought”

“Huh? Oh Mike, sorry didn’t hear you come in, say where is your w…”

“Other half? He’s just putting the finishing touches on cleaning up, so what’s that you reading that has you so deep in thought?”

Chris took note of how quickly Mike had prevented him from calling ‘Billy’ his wife. He understood, that sometimes it was a good routine, but obviously, after what they had just done, this wasn’t the time for more levity in that manner. He looked at Mike, seeing the quiet self-assured young man and he wondered what he would say about his doubts and fears that were seething beneath his calm façade?

“This? I don’t know, wasn’t really reading, just thinking.”

“What you thinking about? How to hide more whipped cream?”

“hehe, well there you are blondie, and no, I leave that to your dad”

“Cool, so what’s up? You worried about getting Keith?”

“Kind of I guess, thinking about how wonderful it is here, and how it can change at the drop of a pin”

“Yeah, well so it changes, no big deal?”

“How can you say that Billy? I mean this could alter your life, change everything for you and Mike, it is a big deal”

“Oh I know that Chris, in that sense, but not in the long term it isn’t a big deal, as long as I have Mike and everyone else, you, dad, Taylor and Jeremy, hell ain’t nothing gonna be that bad that we can’t all survive it.”

“do you really believe that Billy?”

“Sure he does Chris, he’s an eternal optimist, didn’t you know that about blondes?”

“Oh and you aren’t?”

“No, I am not, I am a realist, but I am also in love, and well, I know that as long as I have your love, well, fuck the rest”

“But Mike, Billy, what if bringing Keith here outs all of us or just some? How can you say it isn’t a big deal?”

Without even looking at each other, both answered in the identical fashion, scaring Chris in how completely together those two were.

“Cause we have faith in each other’s love”

“It is amazing how you two think alike at times, I have to tell you guys, it scares the hell out of me.”

“What does Chris? Our love or just being in love?”

“Good question Billy, I guess the answer is both. I mean you guys are scary, the way you can fold into each other’s thoughts as if they are one single thought, and yet you never speak, its freaky to say the least.”

“Yeah, but that’s just cause we are in love, real love not that physical shit everyone whines about, I mean, like just earlier, it wasn’t maybe the greatest performances from either of us, on a technical level, but then neither of us has any way to know that, cause to us, it was the best yet, it is that way each time”

“Oh come on Mike…”

“No serious Chris, I don’t know if I am any good at fucking, Billy likes it, and as long as he’s happy then I know I am doing it right, but as far as being the best damn fuck in town? How would I know?”

“You are tops as far as I am concerned”

“I know Billy, you are to me, but lets be honest, we don’t know all that much, I mean we try different things, like take rimming for example. You know Chris, when I first heard about it, I was totally grossed out and yet I can’t get enough of his sweet ass, seriously, yet I can’t even begin to think what is the right or wrong way to do it, I just know what he likes, he knows what I like, so we do it, but its more than just our bodies touching, it goes deeper than that with us, and with you and Dad too, least as far as I see, right Billy?”

‘Yep, that’s how I see it, I mean come on Chris, you have had lots of other guys before dad, were they all worse in bed than my old man?”

“Hehe, well Billy, first of all, it wasn’t all that many others, and no, a few of them were pretty awesome in bed.”

“So, do you like them better than dad?”

“Hell no, no one compares to your dad, it is…shit”

“What?”

“I think I get it, you know something, you are good Billy, you really are”

“Naturally, I am a Bradford you know”

“Conceited Bradford if you ask me”

“No one was Michael Shepard”

“Oh, okay then”

“Thanks guys, I understand it better, I really did before but it helps sometimes to actually hear it being said, I guess that is one of the hardest part of being gay, it is hard to find people to just talk to, to just express your fears to and have them explained. I guess, well thanks, it is nice of you two to share that with me.”

“Hey, isn’t that what family is for?”

“Yeah it is Billy, thank you for that too”

“Yeah that is the hardest part of being gay, its not so bad I guess for us because we just know how we feel, guess its cause we are younger and less jaded than you old folks, but it still is tough at times. I know it is for me but then I catch a glint in Billy’s eye or see him smile and I just know that everything is going to work out.”

“Well I feel that way too, when I see Seth, well I kind of just melt, and don’t either of you tell him that, he’ll be unbearable then and its hard enough as it is”

“hehe, okay your secret is safe with us, for now”

“Gee, why do I suddenly feel like I am only getting a short term reprieve”

“Well, depends, you planning on sharing some of those hidden cans of whipped cream you got stashed in the cellar?”

“Fuck, how the hell… okay you win, yes you can have two of the cans, but that is all”

“Great, told you Mike, we’ll make sure to take our loot up with us after the show, which is starting now”

“Okay, turn up the volume will you Mike”

“Yep”

Chris turned his attention to the television, watching the impressive symbol of his nation fill the screen and yet his heart wasn’t very proud. How was it that a nation so rich, so deep, in culture and human rights could be so willing to ignore the rights of over 20% of its population simply because they didn’t understand them? He shook his head, trying to get into the show when the phone rang. He stopped Billy from getting it, knowing that Billy really was into the show and he went to answer it, the feeling of impending doom rising in the pit of his stomach.

“Hello?”

“Barbara, is that you? Calm down I can barely understand you… what? Will you stop your wild screaming for a minute and tell me what is going on?”

“He what? What? No, now settle down, what do you mean? Look, Barbara… okay, okay I said, now just settle down will you, explain to me what exactly happened, what did you see?”

Both Billy and Mike were up and standing next to him. He could feel their presence as he listened to his ex-wife’s screams and foul language. He held the receiver tightly, his knuckles turning white as the words finally impacted on his brain and he started to shudder with a deep gut wrenching pain.

“Okay, no you won’t do that, look I’ll deal with it, that is what you want isn’t it?”

“Fine then, stop your yelling, I’ll be there right away and you stay away from him, no don’t you dare tell him that, how dare you Barbara, he’s only 13 for Christ’s sake, no, you leave that for me to deal with, yes, me.

Fine, I’ll be there as fast as I can, and you stay away from him, where is he now? Okay, leave him there, just let him know I am coming to get him, and you get his clothes ready, yes… fine, no, I don’t know yet, look right now I don’t give a fuck about that, I’ll have my lawyer deal with it tomorrow, oh come on, knock it off he’s only 13 Barbara, yes I know that, no he’s just a kid so don’t you go making it worse”

“How? What do you think calling him all those names will do to him? Shit I don’t care, fine, like I said I’ll have the lawyer deal with it tomorrow, you tell Keith I am on my way to pick him up, yes you tell him that, don’t you dare Barbara or so help me God I’ll fight you tooth and nail, yes I mean it, he’s my son too, fine, I am willing to do just that then… fine, now let me hang up so I can get over there… yes, now, fine.”

He hung up the phone and felt his whole body shaking. Tears were rolling down his cheeks as he stood there, sobbing to himself and feeling totally lost and out of touch with reality. Chris didn’t know where to turn, Seth wasn’t there and he needed him badly, but what to do, there wasn’t time to call him, to find him and he had to go to his son now, now before his shrew of a wife did more damage.

Suddenly he felt two sets of arms on his shoulders and he turned to find both Billy and Mikey standing by him, both of them showing clear signs of concern and anxiety as they were unsure of what to do or what was happening.

“Chris, what is it?”

“Uh, its my ex wife, she… shit, do you know how to get ahold of Seth Billy?”

“Yeah, he always leave an emergency number with his service”

“Can you call him?”

“Sure, what is it Chris, can Mike and I help?”

“I don’t know, I need to talk to your dad, Barbara found Keith with Tommy, they were, fornicating, to use her words”

“Shit, really?”

“Yeah, she’s thrown both of them out of the house, Keith is sitting on the front steps crying and Tommy has run into the bushes somewhere, I have to go there, get him and then… shit, I guess find a hotel for the night”

“A hotel? No fucking way Chris, dad wouldn’t let you do that, you bring them here”

“Billy, your dad is wonderful, but this is one royal fuck up, its too dangerous to bring him here, at least until I can find out what is going on”

“Chris, listen to Billy, he’s right, Dad isn’t about to let you do that, you need to bring them here, look, why don’t you let Billy get a hold of dad and you and I can go get Keith and Tommy, you really aren’t in any shape to drive”

“Mike, shit I don’t know, are you two sure about this?”

“YES, we are, come on Chris, we are family here, aren’t we?”

“Yes, yes Mike you are family, but this is… I don’t know, I can’t think straight right now, I do have to go get Keith, but…”

“Look, we’ll take my truck and I’ll drive, you can take the time to collect yourself and while you talk to your ex, I can keep Keith company in the truck so he won’t be so freaked out, now that’s better than him sitting listening to you two fight all alone, isn’t it?”

“Listen to Mike Chris, he’s good at this, go on now, go with Mike while I get in touch with dad”

Chris looked at Mike, then at Billy and he saw the fear but he also saw their love. He knew they were putting themselves at risk, and he could see that they were fully aware of all the dangers that could be just a short truck ride away from landing on their laps, yet they stood firm, together and resolute in making him go and get Keith and in bringing him to this house. Well, guess he was right, the roof had fallen in, and yet, well, maybe it hadn’t. The way he felt so much pain, for his son, and yet a strange warmth was wrapping itself around him and he knew it was the love coming from the house, holding him in its arms and keeping him warm and safe.

He had no choice, and he smiled as his heart burned in pain and despair. Well, he wanted to have custody, maybe now he would have more than he bargained for and he let Mike lead him out to the truck, hearing Billy dialling his father’s emergency number.
