Mostly Straight


My name is Matt Elliot… I’m almost old enough to be a card-carrying member of AARP, my life has sadly become mundane and predictable. That being said, of course I have a justified reason… there is always a good reason isn’t there? Since Neil, my only son died and the rest of my family either moved away or died off. I have for all intents and purposes stopped living. I live in an older neighborhood alone with my two dogs and I pretty much keep to myself… I’m unappreciated at work and live without much happiness. I have hobbies but I’m not that good at any of them. I have two bicycles and do enjoy riding long distance, I also have a gym membership and I do the most shocking thing when I’m there, I work out. I haven’t dated anyone in years, and sex is just between me and Lefty. I mean, I’m in good shape, lean and strong without any of the bulk, but my head just isn’t into the whole dating thing.

So out of the blue I get an email from someone named Will Grovers who claimed to be a friend of my late son’s from when they were stationed together. The email is a request from Will to visit me after he separates from the service in about six weeks. I recognized the name from several of the letters I got from Neil while he was overseas. I answered him back and told him that it was fine and I had no problem with him visiting. I have a spare room and six weeks was plenty of time to get the room back in shape for a guest. That meant removing the accumulated shit that had stacked up over the years… Splurging for new linens and a decent set of drapes I thought would make it homier.

Entertaining a house guest was something new and out of the ordinary and it was something I could really look forward to. Will and I began trading emails regularly and I learned a lot about him in the following weeks leading up to his arrival. I learned that he was an orphan and grew up in foster homes. He had no other family and was alone… I kind of saw him as a kindred spirit. I couldn’t wait to hear his side of the stories that Neil wrote about in his letters. Even though this guy was half my age I was still excited to meet him. I planned to treat him to all the touristy things as I could. Will told me that he was a little guy, 5’7” and 140lbs, so with that I went around to a few pawn shops and finally found a nice road bicycle that should fit him… It had a few minor things wrong with it, but hell for $35 it was a steal. I had everything at home in my spare parts box to fix it up and I figured that I could sell it later on eBay for double what I had paid.

The day of Will’s arrival came and I was nervous… I really didn’t know why either. In my way of thinking, looking forward to an event is good… being nervous about it isn’t so good. I arrived early at the airport to meet his 10:15 flight, which was surprisingly on time. I parked in the short-term garage and followed the other travelers to the terminal. Will told me that he would have checked baggage so we agreed to meet at the baggage claim.  As I stood there like an idiot holding a sign with his name on it, I watched the time and all the travelers as they stepped off the stairs and escalators. I was beginning to worry that Will didn’t make his connection. I was about to go have a word with the woman at the info booth when I felt someone step up to me and call my name, “Mister Elliot?”

I turned around and found Will smiling hopefully. His face was round and cherub like, big beautiful vibrant green eyes with long lashes, a full day’s worth of dark stubble, and full lips, which I found myself staring at. I realized a strange surge of desire blooming through me. I broke out of my trance and smiled. “Will, you made it! Please call me Matt, Mister Elliot was my father and he’s been gone for years.” I reached to shake his hand and instead he pulled me into a respectable bear hug. I was startled for a moment but what-the-hell I thought and I went with it. That flutter of desire still danced in my gut. “Ok let’s get your bags and get out of this circus.”

“It’s really good to finally meet you Matt.” He said before he dove into his more opinionated comments. “I’m all for getting out of here. I’ve never been a fan of commercial flights or airports so I’m more than ready to get out of this mess. I have never met or seen so many selfish and entitled people in all my life.” Will said with disgust.

I agreed with him “Yea, it gets worse all the time. It seems to be inescapable.” Will spotted his two bags and ran to grab them before they made another orbit on the turn-style. I took one of the bags from him and together, bags in hand we made a bee-line to the exit.

In all my years I have never had a response like that to another man, the flush of desire when I looked at Will that the first time alarmed me. This was going to take some time to sort out. I took the lead and wormed my way through the crowd of travelers with Will hot on my heels as I led him up to the fourth level and over to the parking garage. I found the Jeep with very little effort and opened the rear door to stow his bags. We climbed in and buckled up before I started the engine and stirred the stick shift for reverse. I backed out of the parking slot and after a short maneuver to the tollbooth I had a fiver waiting with the parking tab. I turned to him again and was instantly captured by his eyes. I shook it off quicker this time and said, “I have nothing planned this afternoon other than getting you settled. I thought we could stop near the house and get some take-out then hang at the house today and for dinner tonight I have some nice steaks to toss on the grill. Neil’s PS3 is in the room where I’m putting you and both the pool and hot tub are always good choices.” My nervousness had amped up a bit more.

“That sounds great, I remember Neil raving about your grill skills. It’s hotter here than I imagined so the pool sounds awesome, I don’t have swim trunks but I think I can find something. If nothing else I can swim in my shorts.”

I smiled and agreed. We filled the space with talk of his experiences with government red tape as he out-processed and the challenges he faced to fulfill all of their requirements. I on the other hand tried not to think of the unsettled feelings I was having and instead talked about Neil, the dogs, the snotty woman across the street, and the general nuisances of all the construction in the city. A few blocks from the house I stopped at Popeye’s chicken and ordered to-go. “I have plenty of drinks at home, except soda.”

“Yea I figured, Neil told me that you are on a mission to put Coke and Pepsi out of business one purchase at a time.” he said with a smirk. “That’s ok by me I like coffee, tea, juice, sports drinks, beer, wine, wells…”

I chuckled, “Ok I can tell there will be a few evenings spent at the bar.”

Will shook his head, “No not really… bars aren’t much of a priority for me anymore, I think I’d rather be spending the time outside and at the pool. I’m really white right now… I haven’t had a decent tan since I left Tampa”

“Man after my own heart.” After making the short twenty-five minute drive I pulled into the driveway and hit the garage door opener. “Here we are.”

I hit the button and the door rolled up, “Wow you still have it!” Will exclaimed referring to the electric blue Miata in the garage.

I smiled, “Yea, that was Neil’s baby and I haven’t been able to bring myself to sell it.” I pulled into the garage shut off the ignition, got out and went to the back of the Jeep to grab Will’s bags. He met me in the back and took one from me and we trundled into the house. Leaving our food on the kitchen counter we continued down the hall to drop his bags in the spare room.

I dropped the bag I was carrying inside the door and watched him take in the room. “This was his room wasn’t it?” he asked quietly.

“Yes… it was.” I said just as quietly. I paused to get myself under control. “Come on while the food is still hot. I will give you the nickel tour after we eat.”

I returned to the kitchen and Will followed me a few minutes later. I grabbed two beers. “Here is one of our local bock beers, hope you like it.” I handed him a bottle of my favorite local brew. We ate our lunch filling the silence with comfortable chit-chat. It didn’t take long to devour three chicken strips, fries, and a biscuit. “Come on…” I said as I collected the paper remains. “I will introduce you to the wrecking crew.” I led the way through the great room to the French doors leading out to the big back yard and once I opened the door we were attacked audibly by my two boxers, they are always a handful, I told him. I pointed to the dog run. “That’s Maxus and that’s Bruno they’re brothers… we can let them out in a little while once they calm down. That refrigerator…” I pointed to the appliance on the patio. “has beer, juice, and water in it. The hot tub is in the pagoda… you can close it up tight in the winter and make it nice and steamy. The pool is heated too, but not for several months yet.”

“I Like it. I need to get in.” Will said.

“Go for it, I’ll be back in a few.” I sat my beer down and went back in the house for a couple of beach towels. I came back and found Will folding his jeans and standing there in nothing but a pair of plain white Government Issue boxer shorts. I froze mid stride at the thought of how they would look on him once they were wet and transparent and he noticed. I swallowed hard.

“It’s ok to swim in my shorts right?” he asked innocently.

Stammering a bit I finally said. “Um yea sure, it’s ok… when you said shorts I thought ‘shorts’ not underwear… but it’s ok it’s private enough, I usually don’t wear anything at all when I’m out here.”

And no sooner that I said that he said “Oh cool!” and dropped his boxers, tossed them on top of his jeans then dove into the pool. Wow, I was back in that place I was when I first met him, back at being unsettled again. As I tried to reprocess these feelings again Will stepped out of the pool. It was like a train wreck as they say; I just couldn’t pull my eyes off him. His build was small but tight and muscular. His skin was as fair as heavy cream. His nipples were the same rosy color as his kissable lips, kissable? Where did that come from? He had a light spray of dark hair across his upper chest that curled at his throat and accumulated in an island of dark hair between his pectorals surrounded by his creamy skin then following a thin dark trail with my eyes to a thick patch of dark hair on his belly that fanned out and blended down into a thick bush. His thick veiny uncut cock was fully sheathed and a large hairless sack hung below that thick nest of hair. His legs were thick and strong and covered with dark hair too.

I couldn’t find my air… I was struck by his beauty and rooted in place. He stopped his climb out of the pool confused by my behavior. “Matt, are you ok?”

“I… I… don’t know.” I moved and sat down totally confused and beside myself. “I’m sorry, I have never…”

“I’m sorry did I upset you?”

“No you didn’t… I just don’t feel well.”

“Are you sure?” he asked skeptically.

“Yea, yea I’m fine. I need to cool off.” I got my legs under me again and took a deep draw on my beer, finishing it when something inside snapped me back into place and sat the empty bottle on the table before I stripped and join him in the pool.

Will smiled widely, “Holy shit Matt, you are fucking hot! You have a great body and I love your all-over tan.”

“You think so?” I asked not sure how I felt about Will voicing his approval so energetically, or how a thrill cursed though me at his approval.

“Oh hell yea without a doubt.” He said.

 I stepped into the pool very troubled. “Will?”

“Yea?” he asked innocently.

“Full disclosure ok?” I looked at him questioning.

“Of course, I told you when we were texting before I left that I value total honesty.”

I shook my head in acknowledgement. “Will, I am forty-five years old. I was married for twenty-six years before my wife died. I loved her unconditionally and I never strayed. Sure I appreciated a few women at a distance from time to time, who hasn’t? I have never held that kind of appreciation for other men though.” I sighed heavily. “That was until this morning when I turned and met you face to face at the airport. That instant I was struck with your beauty and I have continued to be struck by your beauty again and again after each time I think I have gotten over the last.” I looked up and met his eyes. “Your lips were the first I noticed, then your eyes. I was ok for a bit and then your hands drew me in again and I don’t know why. You have to understand, Neil and I have gone skinny-dipping with many of our friends over the years and none of them rattled me the way you did when I watched you climb out of the water just now… I just froze up. I’m sorry, I know it’s inappropriate.” I lowered my head in shame.

“Matt, I’m the one that should be sorry. I didn’t realize you would react like that. Everything Neil told me about you just made me think you were totally straight. It’s not a bad thing and neither is it bad to appreciate beauty when you see it, and that is something I learned from Neil. Did he ever tell you that we were intimate?”

I snapped my head up meeting his eyes.

“No we didn’t have sex but we frequently shared a bed and slept holding each other. He was an amazing kisser too.” Will smiled as though remembering a special time. “He was very special to me and it nearly killed me when I learned of his death. He told me about his family, and told me how much he loved you to the point that I was maybe a little jealous and certainly envious. I have no family and no ties, I could have chosen anywhere in the world to settle but I chose to come here and meet you. Neil was an amazing man, he was honorable, trustworthy, loving, and incredibly wise for his years and I soaked up everything I could get from him. I learned from him that you could have a family that cared about you and wouldn’t abandon you. The most important lesson… I learned trust from him. I figured that if Neil was half the man his dad was, then I had to find out for myself and meet the man.”

Will’s death was still a raw subject for me. I had heard enough and began sobbing as I leaned against the side of the pool. Will was in the water and holding me close quicker than my synapses could fire and I instinctively held onto him for dear life while I continued to sob. Several moments passed when he tipped my chin up and stared deep into my eyes. My sobs soon stopped save for the leftover convulsive hiccups. God he was beautiful and I melted in his gaze. I didn’t notice him leaning closer until those full lips of his grazed mine ever so gently and something he saw in me change in a flash. He retreated and wiped the tears from my cheeks and kissed me tenderly. As if on auto pilot my head tipped slightly, my lips parted and a sigh escaped. His tongue traced the gap between my lips and they parted further. And there we have it… I was being intimately kissed by a man for the very first time. My brain locked up and was non-functional. Then, all too soon the kiss was over leaving me wanting.

“Sorry,” he smiled sheepishly. “Neil used to tease me about my lack of boundaries. To me there isn’t a difference between kissing a man and a woman. If it’s good it’s just good.” He smiled. “Come on let’s enjoy the day, I’m looking forward to those steaks. In the meantime tell me about Neil.” He reached to the edge of the pool over my shoulder where our beers were sitting and grabbed both. His movements inadvertently pressed our cocks together.

“Will my brain is all muzzy, and now you have me thinking about why my cock is painfully hard. Does this mean that I’m not-so-straight anymore?” I tried to smile.

He smiled and handed me a bottle of beer. “I wouldn’t worry too much about that. It doesn’t matter, I’m hard too but it will pass.” He moved against me again causing our cocks to slide together.

“What you are doing to me? I have never felt anything like that before.” I was barely able to think.

“Do you like it?” he asked as he purposely pressed a little harder and kissed me gently.

“Yessss.” I hissed.

“Yea me too… but it’s better with lube.” He said increasing the distance between us allowing my brain to fire again. “Now tell me all about the mischievous little kid that Neil was.”

His request made me laugh. “Ok…” and so I began telling stories of Neil growing up.

A couple of hours and many beers later I settled back into a comfortable place with Will and enjoying his company. Will pushed off the side toward the steps and climbed out.

My eyes tracked him to the steps and a gasp escaped once I saw his perfectly shaped creamy white ass come out of the water. “Oh dear god…” I said as I watched the hair on his legs dance in the falling rivulets of water like aquatic grass in a cold mountain stream.

He turned and said “huh?”

“Will, you are absolutely stunning. It’s just unsettling and it scares me that I have noticed so acutely.”

He just smiled and turned back to his earlier destination… to take a piss and get more beers. When he returned I couldn’t help but look at his semi swollen cock swinging freely, now mostly unsheathed it had a translucent look with an angry purple color to the head. “Will what is it about you? I go to the gym and I see people in various degrees of undress all the time. I see big guys, small guys… hairy guys, smooth guys… young guys, old guys… big cocks, small cocks… cut cocks, uncut cocks… and in less than two hours with you I’m totally wrecked. I’ve never cared about men sexually before, I never even experimented as a kid.”

“I get that. I have never been overly interested in men sexually either, although once when I was thirteen I fooled around with a foster brother. It wasn’t anything but two kids jacking off together. I truly loved Neil, but we never did that, we just cuddled and kissed, that isn’t to say the thought never occurred to me. I don’t see anything wrong with sex with a guy and I can certainly appreciate a hot guy when I see one. There really is nothing that would stop me from having sex with a guy, but I really haven’t found anyone that I was interested in like that, Neil was the closest I had ever come.”

“Oh.” I said with a grunt.

“But you want to have sex with me?” he asked seriously.

“Yes… No… Yes… shit Will, I don’t know. Man I’m sorry, my head is so muzzy… I know this is inappropriate and I need to get control of myself.  You are fine though, this isn’t your problem.”

“But I am responsible.” He had a sad face. “I should probably get out and get dressed. Maybe this was a bad idea coming here.”

Panic hit me dead center of my being. “NO…” I reached for him in panic. “I don’t want you to leave. You being nude and enjoying yourself isn’t your problem… the problem is why I enjoy seeing you nude so much. Why I enjoy your touch. Why I found your kisses to be the best I have ever had and why I want more… Why do I want you to rub your cock on mine again? Why do my insides flutter like this when we are close? Will, why do I want you so bad that I feel that I will die if I don’t get you?” I rambled on with the beginnings of a panic attack.

He saw the panic in my face and smiled. “I don’t want to go either Matt, but I have a question for you to seriously think about… it seems to be a favorite of yours I think… the question I have for you is ‘why’, but none of the whys you mentioned. I have another why for you… Why is it so important to you to explain why?” he stalked up to me with a beer bottle in each hand and stopped less than an inch from me. I was acutely aware of his proximity. My cock finished filling from its constant half erect condition and reached out to touch his. “It looks like this isn’t an issue for mini-me.” We both looked down to see our cocks touching.  His had also swelled again in response I laughed nervously.

I was struck by something and a sense of need bloomed through me. I leaned forward and kissed him furiously, he kissed me back with the same ferocity. I pulled back and looked into his eyes in awe. “I have never kissed anyone that made me flush with this level of desire and passion, even when kissing my wife.” I took the offered bottle and pulled hard on it. “When you suggested that you should leave I panicked. Let’s keep to our original plan and you stay for your visit. I will be ok. I like the question you posed, it makes a lot more sense.” I thought, why indeed.

“I have a question to ask myself too.” He said.

“and what is that question?”

“Do you really want to know? Because I’m not sure I should say under the circumstances.”

“Will, I’m already way over my head in this… so go ahead.”

“Alright…The question I’m asking myself now is, ‘have I finally in my twenty-eight years on this earth found a man that I want to have sex with?’ I’m not there yet Matt… I know that I can’t have the physical part without leading with the heart.” He pressed his palm to my chest above my heart. “That is one thing I learned from Neil… Sex was more than just sex for Neil.” He said and then added a chased kiss.

“Yes I can see that, Neil was a wise old man in a young man’s body… He even zinged me more than a few times. If I think about sex with you, yes I think I want it… but my head gets muzzy. I couldn’t do it either unless there was some kind of deep emotional link to go with the sex.”

Will chuckled and tapped his bottle to mine. “Exactly… So here’s to muzziness!”

A short time later I excused myself for a bathroom break, and once there I took myself in hand and rubbed one out in record time. When the orgasm abated I sat there on the commode in stunned silence and watched the huge glob of my cum slowly slide down the back of the door, I hadn’t shot a load that big or with that much force since I was a teenager. “I must be insane.” I said to myself and unrolled some toilet paper to mop up my juvenile mess, once I finished that task I stood up and faced the mirror and examined my face. “I really must be crazy. I don’t even know the first thing about sex with a guy, so how can I want this guy so bad? And what is it about this guy anyway? Jesus Matt get a grip and stop with the old troll routine!” I stared at my reflection for a few seconds and shrugged. I sprayed with air freshener to cover up the faint smell of cum and went back to the pool picked up a fresh beer and threw away the empties. Will was leisurely swimming laps and I decided to work on my tan. I smoothed out my towel on the chaise and laid on my stomach I watched Will swim a few laps before I closed my eyes and allowed the splashing sounds to soothe me into slumber.

I don’t know how much time passed but I felt Will’s hand on my back shaking me. “Matt turn over man, you are roasting your butt.”

I really had fallen asleep. I mumbled something unintelligible and turned over. “What time is it?” I asked.

“Four o’clock.”

“Ok. Let’s shower off and go inside and I’ll start dinner.” I suggested.

“Good, I’m getting hungry.”

I had a shower installed on the outside of the house with two heads; it worked well for cleaning up after yard work and the pool parties we used to have. I started the water and got under the spray and stopped. I turned to look for Will and found him waiting. I reached for his hand and pulled him under the spray. “I don’t suppose that sharing a shower with you matters much since we have divested ourselves of all modesty between us.”

He smiled and I flushed again, “No doubt.” He poked my shoulder with a finger and asked, “Did you burn?”

“No I don’t feel burnt.” I answered.

“Ok.” So he moved me to face the wall, palmed the soap and the loofa and proceeded to scrub my back. I braced my hands on the wall and melted. No one had done this for me in years and my head still reeled from the level of intimacy we shared so soon.

“You know, you really do have a terrific body. You and Neil were very similar… You share a lot of the same characteristics I guess that’s why I have been able to drop my guard for you so fast. I think my body recognizes you somehow.”

I looked over my shoulder to face him. “How so?” I asked curiously.

“Well you were both about the same shape, height, and weight. You have a more hair on your chest but it’s almost the same pattern as his. Your nipples are the same too I think.” He emphasized by running his fingers through the hair on my chest and rubbing the pad of his thumb across my right nipple, which pebbled immediately and my body rewarded him with a shiver. “Your cock and balls are the same but I think he may have been marginally thicker, oh yea and thank you for not having him circumcised. I have to say that you both have gorgeous world-class asses.” Which he emphasized by squeezing my globes playfully… that’s all it took to break the mood, I laughed. “But more importantly, you and he share the same personality. I think that is your most valuable asset and what I find most attractive.”

“Thank you Will. The only thing I can say about you is that I find you… breathtaking. I am really drawn to your personality. Being around you today has not only made me feel confused and conflicted with the physical attraction… but I also realize that it is your manor and personality that I love the most. I feel like… I don’t know happy or blissful maybe… I don’t remember having those feelings since I was first married. It’s way too soon to have these feelings and it’s crazy… I think the crazier idea is that I’m having those feelings for a man… but I think that the hardest part to accept is this inexplicable desire I have for you… but I’m evolved enough that I’m not adverse to these undeniable desires it’s just new and shocking to me… and I know that whatever happens I will be ok, I’m not one to shy away from a troubling situation.”

“Good to know because I feel exactly the same way… now, would you scrub my back and then let’s get some food!” he turned away from me and braced himself against the house with his palms planted firmly on the wall.

“Your wish is my command!” I teased.

“Wow, I never figured you to be submissive.” He sniggered.

I chuckled, “I’m not… but I do follow directions really well.” I really enjoyed touching him, but it didn’t register as sexual with me… more like sensual and it seemed that I was lost in it. “Will, this is very pleasing to me. I love your soft skin and the curves and contours of your hard body. I remember doing this for my wife years ago and I felt the same pleasure then, but the texture of your body is all male and I’m fascinated by the new sensations. It’s like I can’t get enough.”

He turned deliberately. “Now you see into my world. Male or female… beauty and pleasure it’s all the same.” He leaned in and kissed me lazily then returned to his earlier position and I finished his scrub.

Later while I was preparing a salad and toppings for the baked potatoes, he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, hugging me. “Damn I love the way you smell.” He said as he inhaled deeply then kissed my shoulder. The heat of his chest against my bare back lit up my desires once again.

I smiled, “go away you tease, I have work to do!”

He laughed and bit my shoulder playfully and then licked it once with a wide swipe sending a shiver through my body, “God, and you taste good too.”

Lightning struck thru my body straight to my groin. “Tease, Tease, Tease! Now go away or go hungry!” I laughed as I rearranged my swelling cock in my shorts.

Dinner was fun and filled with personal stories and on top of that we killed a bottle of wine. I learned that he had been married once, but after a miscarriage the marriage fell apart. Later we sat on the sofa and watched comedy central, Will ended up resting his head on my lap with his arm wrapped around my leg and my arm over his side. I loved touching his bare skin and lightly stroking his hair. I was so fascinated by these new experiences.

That night I slept restlessly and was awake at 5am with a painful hard on. I took myself in hand and as I stroked I thought of Will’s kiss and the way his body felt under my touch. My climax hit me as hard as it had yesterday in the bathroom, my first shot striped across my open mouth giving me a good taste of my load. I laughed at myself as I reflexively licked a big glob off my lips ‘not bad’ I thought, then I added out loud, “Oh what the hell…” and licked the rest of my goo off of my hand. Afterwards I got dressed and went for a run, I replayed all of those feeling that had unsettled me and somehow I felt more balanced today after reassessing and disassembling them. I found that I craved him, both his touch and his attention. I made a decision at that moment, perhaps it was somewhat pretentious on my part, but I wanted to go get an HIV test so if by chance things went that way I could show him proof that I was healthy and fully engaged in that possible outcome. The idea of that level of intimacy frightened me, but as frightening as it was I knew that I wanted to make love to him and I didn’t care if I was clueless about how to actually go about it… that really didn’t matter to me. I looked up the local clinic and saw that they offered a quick turn test for a full STI panel. Once that decision was firmly made and I got back home I showered, started some laundry, got the coffee on then take a chance on Will liking waffles.

I had a load of wash in the washer and the drier and was sitting on a bar stool in the kitchen wearing only a pair of old ratty green gym shorts with too many miles and more than a few too many trips through the washer on them. I was working on my second cup of coffee while reading the paper, when I felt Will’s familiar arms snake around my waist. He snuggled his sleepy face in the crook of my neck and mumbled ‘morning’. I smiled widely and reached my hand back to run my fingers through his hair. I turned my head and searched for any part of him that I could kiss. “Good morning baby, would you like some coffee?”

“Baby?” he smiled and kissed my neck. “God yes… coffee… thank you.”

“Black, sweet, or blonde?”

“Black, one sugar.”

“Coming up… would you like a waffle? I have pecans or I have strawberries.”

“Pecan waffles?”

“Don’t tell me you never heard of pecan waffles!”

“No, I’ve heard of them. Neil told me they were his favorite but he said no one could make them like you did. I like pecans and I like waffles but I’ve never had them together.”

I smiled at the memories. “Then I hope you enjoy them. It will only take a few minutes.” I got up. “Sit here while I get the iron going.” I sat his coffee in front of him and he seemed to curl around the cup. Meanwhile I mixed the batter and chopped the pecans, and warmed up the butter pecan syrup. Soon I felt Wills hands snake around me again.

“God you’re warm… and you smell good too.” He inhaled my sent deeply. “Thank you for letting me come visit. Oh yea and I have to say Matt, these shorts look fine on you.”

I smiled, “thanks” I said and turned in his embrace so we were face to face. “I wanted to talk with you about that.”

“Huh?” he asked puzzled.

“I don’t want you here just to visit, I want you to live here with me and those two slobbery dogs.” I said.

“Are you sure you don’t even know me? For how long?”

“Yes I’m sure I want you to stay as long as you want to. I know we know very little about each other but I plan to change that minor detail as soon as possible. I want to learn all there is to know about you and I want you to learn all there is to know about me. I didn’t sleep well last night because my brain was churning over everything that happened yesterday. I am fine now and I want our friendship to continue to grow and bring us closer together.” I said. “So I really hope you will stay for a really long time.”

“That sounds a little like a marriage proposal.” He said with a small laugh.

“Well I don’t know if marriage is even a consideration, but yea I realized last night that I want you in my life, however I can have you. If that means putting a ring on your finger then I think you should look forward to the day I get on my knees and offer you that ring.”

“Wow that is a total reversal from yesterday.”

“Not really, the only difference is I’m not terrified today. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a bit confused and afraid of it all.” I kissed him, “Now go sit and let me get this waffle on a plate for you.” I slid his plate across to him and said, “I have an errand to run this morning, so I’m going to let you do your own thing while I’m gone. You can hang out here or go to the cemetery. The Miata is fueled and insured and I have directions to the cemetery and a map to his plot. If not you can still drive the Miata and I will go to the cemetery with you later.”

“I will hang here, I want to be with you when I go see Neil.”

“I can do that. Ok, eat up and I’ll clean the kitchen and go take my shower. I want to knock out this chore so I can enjoy the rest of the day… I haven’t asked if there was anything special you wanted to do… any ideas?”

“Not really. I was more interested in meeting you and now that I’ve done that… I’m just content with hanging out with you, but I have heard that the zoo is pretty cool… and they say Alameda Canyon is beautiful, but that’s all I’ve really heard about.”

“Great. They just opened a new natural history museum across town too… let’s go there this afternoon and after that we can go get things for a hike in the canyon tomorrow, and the Zoo the day after. Before you got here I bought a road bike from the pawnshop for you and I fixed it up… We can go on riding tour of the city if you like.”

“Thank you… I like that let’s do it. And Matt… this waffle is amazing!”

“Thanks” I smiled. After I’d dressed I found him drinking coffee and reading the paper. “Ok, I’m off to get my errand done. I should be back in an hour… maybe two if I get hung-up. The Miata keys are on the hook behind the door.” I kissed him and gathered myself. A stray thought went through my head as I walked out to the garage about how familiar and comfortable it all felt.

The clinic was ten minutes away and I was third in line. I waited about twenty minutes before I was called back to the exam area. The nurse was a cute perky woman about thirty that looked like she could run three marathons back to back. I observed her as she went about my consult. I found her attractive and she had many wonderful attributes that I found appealing, but the needle on the meter never wobbled. This was very weird to me, here was a young woman that was easily my type that I found very little interest in. I shrugged inwardly, and thought of the fates that brought Will Grovers to me and now that I was obviously head over heels in love… WAIT… What? In love? With a man whom I have known for less than forty-eight hours? My brows furled. Me, in love with Will? I rolled that thought in my head and found only truth. The only fight that was going on was between my emotional and logical selves arguing that ‘it just couldn’t be… it was too soon’. “Huh…” I said aloud without meaning to.

“Excuse me Mister Elliot?” the nurse asked.

“Oh…I’m sorry, I’m having an inner dialogue right now and I’m kind of surprised at the epiphany I just had.”

She smiled, “Tell me about it?”

I looked at her skeptically thinking ‘ok now she’s a shrink too?’ “Well, Katie…” her name badge clearly stated. “I confess that I was checking you out a bit ago and you are very beautiful, I believe that you’re even my type but I don’t feel anything besides the enjoyment of our friendly interaction. No offense intended.” I paused. “I am a forty-five year old widower who lost our only son less than a year ago. I’ve been living in a fog since then, however the other day I received a house guest, my late son’s best friend, they served in the Army together. That day began with me being a secure heterosexual never having cheated on my wife of twenty-six years nor ever wanting to experiment with anyone of the same sex. And in less than forty-eight hours I am head over heels in love with the man and I can’t explain it, I’m not even sure that I need to. And that is my epiphany, there is no explanation required.” I smiled at the relief I felt.

“No offense taken. So is this why you want an STI panel done?” she asked.

“Yes. I mean I know I haven’t got anything since in the last too many years I’ve only ever had sex with my wife… and my hand” I blushed… she chuckled. “I know this is crazy but I have a strong desire to commit to this guy, the idea of having sex with him kind of scares me a lot, but this is how strongly I feel this… pull I guess you can call it. If he doesn’t feel the same well nothing lost… I might get hurt but I will still love him.”

“For what it’s worth, I hope you both live happily ever after.” It was my turn to chuckle. She finished up with the sample taking and blood draw and said, “Ok these results should be ready by tomorrow after 2pm.”

“Great, so who will get the results?” I asked.

“I will get them and call you.”

“Great, can I get them faxed or emailed?”

“Sure I can send you an email with the results in PDF format.”

“Excellent, this is my private email address… Thank you Katie, you have truly been a pleasure to work with.” She was opening the door as I was speaking and I believe that was her supervisor overheard us as she passed. “Have a wonderful day. We are going to the history museum this afternoon.”

She smiled. “Thank you Mr. Elliot, it’s been my pleasure. Enjoy your afternoon.”

I got home just after an hour had passed, and found Will playing a video game. “Hey, I’m back.”

“Good because this game is really pissin me off!”

I laughed. “If it pisses you off then turn it off or just walk away and come back later. I’m jumping in the shower.”

“Hey, wait for me.” He said as he tossed the controller on the bed.

I smiled “I hoped you’d say that.” I said quietly.

“Huh? I didn’t hear you.” Will called out from down the hall.

I grinned, “I didn’t say anything.” I shouted back. I stepped into the bathroom and started the shower, dropped my shorts and kicked them to the hamper then took a pee. I finished and flushed and here comes Will, nude and carrying his towel. “What are you doing?” I asked with false innocents.

“I’m taking a shower, what does it look like?”

“You’re a water conservationist now too huh?” I asked with a smile and a twinkle in my eye.

“Well sure… but I was hoping for another of your back scrubs.” He said smiling.

“My pleasure, get in and see if the water temp is good.”

“The water is good, now get in, I’m waiting on the scrub you promised… that felt so good yesterday.” He said with a chuckle.

“Anytime you want one, all you need to do is ask. I really did enjoy exploring your body.” He looked me in the eye questioningly. “Honest I did.”

“You really have made a one-eighty…” he replied

“Maybe I just stopped being stupid and stopped thinking that the little box I’ve been living in is the ideal living space. I feel so much lighter… I feel free and I owe it all to you Will.” I explained as I scrubbed his back, hips, and butt with the loofa. I put the loofa back on the hook. “Ok turn around and put your forehead on my chest.” He complied and I worked some shampoo into a lather and washed his hair and massaged his scalp and neck eliciting heavy moans from him. I noticed that the sounds of his pleasure thrilled me. I smiled to myself contently. I pushed his head under the spray and rinsed out the suds. “Can I scrub your front?”

I caught him as he swept the water off his face, “Sure.”

I got the loofa soapy again and had him rest his arms on my shoulders as I went to scrub his arms and chest. I tucked the loofa under my arm so I could massage his arms one side at a time beginning at his armpit I massaged his triceps and biceps then down to his forearms then finishing with his hands and fingers. Loofa in hand again I scrubbed down his ribcage and abs. We were both hard and I honestly didn’t care because this wasn’t sex. I knelt and looked up meeting his eyes. “Can I” he smiled and nodded. I nudged his feet apart and scrubbed around his crotch before setting the loofa on the floor. Soap in hand and without hesitation I wrapped my fist around his cock causing him to gasp, I washed it lovingly then did the same for his balls. I was so enthralled by the veiny texture and the firmness, which I committed every detail to memory. I noted that his foreskin wasn’t as long as mine which was fully retracted now. His balls fit in my hand like they were made to be there. I reached a soapy hand behind his balls and cleaned his ass… a second gasp escaped Will the first time my finger brushed his rosebud. I found this intimate exploration to be intoxicating and I was beginning to have some very sexual thoughts. I shook them off for now and reminded myself that perhaps in time I could complete my exploration. I finished and picked up the loofa again and scrubbed his magnificent legs first one then the other. Again I dropped the loofa to the floor and massaged and kneaded his muscles I began at his hip down this inner and outer thigh, down his calf and finished with his feet. He moaned again. My chest swelled ready to burst at the satisfaction I was getting by giving this man pleasure. Sadly I had come to the end and I was finished. I stood up and hooked the loofa back where I kept it and quietly stood watching Will.

“God Matt that felt wonderful nobody has ever done that for me before… Matt, I have to say that I’m hooked.” Will leaned in and kissed me lovingly.

“Come on sexy, let’s get out and get our day going.”

“But you didn’t wash.”

“I did this morning when I got back from my run, I just wanted to rinse off and then you distracted me… and what a wonderful distraction you are.”

“You run?”

“I do five miles a day usually.”

“Sweet, can we stop somewhere so I can get a new pair of runners? I’d love to run with you.”

“You’re on!” I said enthusiastically. Will went to the other bathroom and finished up… I brushed my teeth and decided that it was a ball cap day.

The day at the museum was fun. I was really enjoying Will’s company and I unconsciously held his hand as we walked through the exhibit hall. We were in the geology section admiring the crystals when this man interrupted us.

“Man I hate seeing that shit! Homos holding hands, knock it off you are being offensive!” this man said hatefully.

My eyebrows rose to meet my hairline and I faced him. “Excuse me?” I asked accusingly. “We are offensive? You are offensive! Your beer-belly and cheesy haircut are offensive! Your dirty t-shirt and ratty sneakers are offensive! And do you call that a beard? My grandmother can grow a better beard than that!” Will and several onlookers sniggered. “Offended? I honestly don’t care if you are offended? My god man, grow up and pay attention to your own miserable shit. Look over there that beautiful older couple holding hands, that young couple over there holding hands. Happy children with their families and you are offended!”

“Yea fag think about the kids… what are you telling them by flaunting your faggot shit like that for them to see?”

“I’m telling them that nothing is more important than love. I love this man and I will not stand here and be told that my love is offensive while these other nice people are clearly demonstrating the same thing and their love is ok to some podunk-trailer-trash hypocrite like you while mine is not ok. I do not need your approval jack-ass. If you don’t like it, then don’t look.” Many of the other patrons were clapping and I heard an occasional ‘YEAH’ being shouted out and them smiling encouragingly toward us. I was seething and Will was as tense as a coiled snake ready to strike. I could also see that the hypocrite was getting angry too, before he had any violent thoughts I pointed a finger at him, invading his personal space and added. “Don’t even try it dude… I guarantee… I – Will – Break – You.” I paused for effect and the guy backed down. “Come on Will, I’ve seen enough dirt and rocks.”

We walked to the prehistoric exhibits and I sat on a bench to recompose myself. “You love me?” Will asked like a small child.

I met his eyes and I melted. “Yes Will it seems that I am desperately in love with you. That was one of the epiphanies I had this morning after trying to sleep last night. It was like getting hit in the gut. Sometimes truth does that to you when you finally listen to it.”

“Wow. I’ve never known love.” He admitted. “Not even with my ex-wife or any of my girlfriends.”

“Well I have never believed in love at first sight, but you know that not believing in something doesn’t make it any less real… So just because you don’t know love or what it is doesn’t make you immune to it, I have learned something very important from meeting you Will Grovers.”

“I will have to take your word for it.” He sat on the bench, snuggled up to my side and said, “Oh yea and you are scary when you get angry.”

“That’s called determination…” I smiled and kissed his forehead. “I have no doubt that you would scare my socks off if I saw you get really angry. You were coiled tighter than a rattlesnake getting ready to strike beside me through all that.” I kissed him again on the cheek, “Come on let’s finish exploring this place.”

We continued to explore and finally we made our way to the exit where a pair of nicely dressed people wearing name tags greeted us. “Good afternoon” she said as they shook our hands. “I am Marjory Higgins and this is Corry Winters, we are managers in the museum. We understand that you had some difficulty earlier in the geology exhibit.”

“I’m sorry Ms. Higgins, Mr. Winters there wasn’t any difficulty, just a loud boorish man with nothing worth listening to. I’m Matt Elliot and this is Will Grovers. We’ve really enjoyed your museum, I have wanted to come since you opened and my friend here provided a perfect opportunity to visit this wonderful place.”

“We appreciate that… thank you. For your trouble we would still like to give you both a pair of general admission tickets for a return trip.”

Will and I smiled warmly, “Ms. Higgins, that is really not necessary, but if you insist on giving them to us, then I would ask that you hold them and give them to a couple of underprivileged children in our names.”

“Wonderful,” she simply beamed with approval. “Yes sir we would be honored to do that on your behalf.”

“Thank you again Ms. Higgins, Mr. Winters, you really do have a wonderful place here. Good evening.”

“That was really thoughtful of them.” Will stated

“Yes it was. Are you hungry? I’m in the mood for Mexican food.”

“Oh Yea!” Will said enthusiastically

“Great, there is a Tex-Mex restaurant a block or two over.”

We finally got home at a little after 7pm, I turned on the news but before I could sit down Will had already sprawled out on the sofa and said, “Lay down with me.” He scooted to the back of the wide sofa and I lay down beside him. He draped his arm over me and slipped it inside my shirt while I rested my head on his other arm. He held me and stroked my chest all through the news and I guess that I’d fallen asleep because I awoke some time later to John Stewart lambasting another right wing Republican for some stupid thing he’d done or said. Will was still holding me as his fingertips ghosted over my skin and swirled circles in my chest hair, jolting me with pleasure when he briefly brushed over my nipple. I smiled as I noted once again at how comfortable this all was.  I reached for the arm that was under my head and pulled it in tight and laced my fingers in his hand. I heard a contented sigh come from Will. After John Stewart was over I declared it time for bed. We both unrolled from the sofa and turned off the TV and lights. I had hold of his hand and he stopped at his door, I looked over my shoulder at him and nodded my head to my bedroom and tugged lightly on his arm. He shook his head and detoured to the hall bathroom. As I stood at the sink brushing my teeth Will walked in a few moments later with his toothbrush hanging out of his mouth smiling. I finished and after I wiped my mouth on the towel I kissed his temple. I turned down the bed and climbed in wearing only my boxers, Will followed a few moments later.

“Matt, what are we doing?”

“Sleeping together.” I said and snuggled closer.

“Duh! But what are we doing? Are we a couple now or something?”

“The short answer? Yes that’s the way it looks to me… and I am patient enough to convince you to stay and share a life with me.”

“Even after what happened at the museum?”

“Yes even after that. You didn’t hear the conviction in my voice?”

“Yea scary…”

“Why does that scare you? Is it because I’m a man, or scary because I’m serious about this and I’m talking about a head first, full-out, monogamous relationship with you?”

“You being a man isn’t the issue. I don’t know what love is… I don’t know how to love. The longest relationship I’ve had was with my ex-wife and that lasted not much longer than a year.”

“I don’t think you give yourself credit. Your head may not know what love is but your heart does and I’ve seen it. You’ve seen it in me too I’m sure, I am so far outside my comfort zone being with you but I am making my way with it because it feels right.” I crawled on top of him and ground my cock against his as they thickened together. “I do love you… I nearly had a panic attack when you suggested leaving… I know that I can’t be without you and I will do whatever I can to keep you. The sex part scares me a lot, but I know that I want that with you too eventually and when the time comes I will try and make it so bloody awesome that you see stars.” I smiled and buried my face in his neck and nibbled and kissed up to his ear. His body vibrated with need. I found his nipple with my thumb and he moaned. I began to kiss down his chest and came to one of his nipples. I always loved my wife’s tits and her nipples drove me wild so as I studied Will’s chest and nipples, I didn’t understand it but I began to feel the same toward them. His nubs were a little smaller than pencil erasers and the areolas were a little bigger than quarters, but the fact that they were raised and mounded on his pectorals made my mouth water. My lips made contact with his nipple and he sighed… I licked it and he shivered… I sucked on it and he moaned… I nipped it with my teeth and he gasped. I was rock hard and leaking furiously. So without any thought I began to kiss and nip my way across his ribcage and his abs. I stopped and looked to his face waiting for him to see me. “May I?” I asked. His lips parted and he nodded. I pulled his waistband down and exposed his beautiful cock. Finding his cock ‘beautiful’ surprised me too since I had never really contemplated a penis, I looked at him again and held his shaft up away from his body and said, “this is a thing of great beauty” and I meant it. It was then that I noticed the thick trail of precum from the tip of his cock to a small pool on his belly. I licked it up without a thought and the taste shocked me and I guess it showed.

“Matt, you don’t have to do this.” Will said uneasily.

“Oh my god, it tastes so sweet… I want to do this Will, but I will stop if you tell me to.” He wasn’t sure but he shook his head no slowly. I stroked his shaft in my hand like I did in the shower earlier in the day. Will was leaking so much I could see it run down from the tip. I loved the way it throbbed in my hand. I was under a spell and as if in slow motion my lips parted and I guided his spongy angry purple head into my mouth where it exploded with Will’s flavor. I could feel him throb in my mouth. I fisted him and pulled his foreskin up and licked between his foreskin and his glans. I heard a breathy ‘fuck’ from him as I nibbled on his foreskin while stroking his shaft. Teasing him was euphoric, to have that much power to give him so much pleasure was a heady concept that I had obviously missed when I was with my wife. When I took more of him into my mouth his expression changed a little, I guess it finally dawned upon him that I was really sucking his cock. I continued to work his shaft in my mouth and when it hit the back of my throat it was like coming to the end of a lesson in a textbook. I passed cock-sucking 101, now on to deep throat 101. I tried but wasn’t successful, for the first few attempts I gaged horribly, then as with taking on any new challenge all your failures finally add up and you eventually have a breakthrough. When his cock went down my throat that first time Will nearly came unglued, I passed! I pulled off his shaft while slowly stroking him with my hand I lavished his hairless sack and sucked his balls. Up to that point Will was fairly quiet and content with watching me with fascinated appreciation. It seems that he loved his balls sucked on and if I wasn’t mistaken he was getting really close to popping, I passed again! I returned my mouth to his shaft and using a suck-stroke combo with one hand as my other hand kneaded and gently tugged his balls. Will was becoming unhinged and very vocal, it excited me which caused me to increase my effort. I knew the moment that he was done when his cock swelled even thicker and his balls tugged against my grip. Will cried out a warning and tried to pull back. He couldn’t go far because I had his balls in my hand which was preventing his withdrawal.

I watched him as he totally fell apart, he made a noise like a growling groan and I felt the first shot of his seed. That was my cue and I forced his shaft completely down my throat several times as I rode his orgasm, he thrashed about like a fish on a hook. Once he had regained his senses his hands released the sheets and placed them on my face, it felt so tender to be held like that. I pulled off his cock and licked him clean and lay my face on his lower abs, both of us breathing hard, Will running his fingers through my hair absently as he recovered. “Fuck Matt that was incredible. Come on up here, it’s your turn.”

“You don’t have to, I came in my boxers like a teenager.” I laughed.

“You did?” he smiled.

“Yea I did.” I chuckled. I pushed up off the bed and pulled off my boxers wiping myself off before tossing them in the hamper. I climbed in beside him snuggling close and sighed contentedly. “That was my first time giving head and the biggest turn on was you. Then your taste… Will, I don’t think I will ever get tired of your taste on my tongue. You do know that I am not ever letting you go?”

“What do you mean that I was your biggest turn on?” he asked.

“The way you responded to me, it was empowering and made me feel good that I was giving you the pleasure.”

“Oh yea… it was all pleasure. I have never… that was the best… damn… you are the best Matt. And you swallowed too, GOD that was so hot… Kiss me.”

I crawled up his body and began kissing him, his hand snaked around the back of my neck pulling me in closer while his tongue explored my mouth as he tasted himself. I really loved his kisses. Pulling apart I smiled, “Yea like I said I loved being the one to pleasure you. I’ve tasted my own cum by accident mind you and quite recently I should add… Mine I think is a little bitter, but yours is sweet and buttery. Man what a wild couple of days it’s been. I’m exhausted. Better get rested up because we have a busy couple of days ahead with a ten mile hike in Alameda Canyon and then walking around the zoo.” I said as I nuzzled into Will. He started moving around. “What are you doing?”

“I’m trying to lose my shorts. I want to be totally naked against you.”

“Awesome” I mumbled. I slept soundly that night for the first time in months entwined with Will.

The next day we were up at the ass-crack of dawn packing the Jeep and getting the dogs ready to travel. It was a two-hour drive to the trailhead and I found myself reaching to hold Will’s hand while driving, I smiled inwardly at the calm I felt with him beside me. We had picked a perfect day to hike and because it was in the middle of the week I didn’t expect to see any other hikers. I pulled into the empty parking area and began the routine that I’d learned from all my years of previous outings. The dogs were loose but were trained to stay close. I stripped out of my jeans and slipped on a pair of thin nylon cargo shorts, ditched my shirt and stuffed them both in the pack, Will followed suit. We slathered each other with sunscreen before we shouldered our day packs loaded with lunches, snacks, water, first aid kit, clothes, and other necessities. I pulled my favorite walking stick out of the rag-top webbing and I waited for Will to be finished so I could do a fast gear check. The gear checked out fine, so loaded with our gear we hit the trailhead. I’ve hiked this trail many times over the years, but hiking it with Will made me appreciate the trail anew. My favorite part was near the halfway point that overlooked the valley below where I made a new memory that day thanks to the new me by kissing Will and stroking each other off. It was exciting and something I’d never done before.

We zipped up and continued on our hike then at a rugged part of the ten mile circular trail we met a pair of teenage hikers, naked as the day they were born. Both of my boys gave a savage sounding bark. “Hey guys” I called out. They were both startled to see us and tried to cover up quickly.

Will sniggered and said. “No worries guys, if I had thought about it we might have been hiking nude too.”

The one kid shrugged his shoulders and forgot about his modesty. “Those are great dogs, can I pet them?”

“Sure” I said smiling. “This one is Max and that’s his brother Bruno. I’m Matt and my friend is Will.”

“I’m Alan and he’s Jake.” Alan squatted and let the boys lick him. It was cute.

His friend Jake made a disapproving face like he was grossed out by dog-germs. Jake looked us over with a cautious appraisal, “are you guys gay?”

Alan stood up and punched Jake in the arm. “Filters man… Filters.”

Will and I laughed. I pointed to Will and said, “Just for him… sorry Jake.” Movement caught my eye and I grabbed the dog’s harnesses and pulled them back, “Um, Alan… Jake… move over here. Now.”

“What?”

“Snake” and the two teens jumped to our side of the trail. It was a good size Mojave rattler about three feet long. We backed away and let it cross the trail. “Ok that was thrilling.” I said, “Come on Will, I know where there’s a wide spot in the creek where we can play in the water and cool off… I think the boys are getting a little hot.”

“Can we tag along?” Alan asked.

Will and I traded glances, “Sure, we don’t mind.” Will picked up a couple of rocks and pitched them into the bushes just in case the snake decided to hang around. We were satisfied that the trail was clear and pressed on down a side trail that led to the creek. There was a natural bend in the creek that created a nice sand bar which made a great place to have lunch and play in the water. I checked the area and found no other critters before I let the boys off their leashes, the minute I did they ran full speed into the water. I dug out their tug-toy and threw it to them. The dog’s antics in the water made us all laugh.

“So just out of curiosity, how old are you guys?” I asked.

Alan seemed to be the spokesman for the pair. “I just turned seventeen and Jake is eighteen.”

“And you have ID that can prove that?” I asked. They nodded and started digging in their packs. “No I don’t need to see it, I believe you.” I pulled my pack off and hung it on a thick branch. “Guys, don’t leave packs or clothes on the ground… scorpions…” I smiled and winked at Will and dropped my shorts hung them in the tree… Will wasn’t too far behind me stripping down.

Jake smiled. “Damn, you guys are hot!”

“Fuck!” was all Alan the spokesman could say.

“Back off you guys, he’s mine!” Will said laughing. I chuckled and noticed the boys hide themselves again.

“Here Will, don’t put your boots back on.” I said as I handed him a pair of wet shoes.

“Thanks.” He put them on and stood closer. “So what do you think of the kids.” Will asked discreetly.

“They are both likable enough.” I said.

“And they are pretty hot too aren’t they?” Will asked with an elbow to my ribs and a wink.

I smiled and replied, “Yea they are attractive enough, but like I told Jake… I’m only gay for you. They honestly don’t do anything for me like you do.”

“You’re really serious about that aren’t you?”

“As sure as I am about anything, seriously you do things to me that I can’t understand and never felt before. You are it for me dude.” I said and emphasizing it with a lingering kiss.

“Wow…” Alan exclaimed clearly awe struck

“Damn you guys are hot!” Jake said shaking his head.

“I’m old enough to be your dad” I said with a smirk.

“So what, you’re both still hot… My dad is a balding alcoholic slob with a beer belly.” Jake said

“God I wish you were my dad!” Alan said.

I blushed and Will roared with laughter. “Guys, Matt and I are what you’d call ‘mostly straight’, and this is really new for us.”

“How new?” Jake asked skeptically.

I smiled, “Well Jake, last weekend I was a secure heterosexual widower… today I’m something else.” That seemed to open a really interesting dialogue between the four of us, it seemed that the boys were best friends but they hadn’t known about each others same sex attraction before that day. The conversation continued after we returned to the trail and back to the Jeep. Will and I didn’t bother changing again, we just said our goodbyes and I gave the boys my business card when Alan asked for our numbers.  Will helped me with the gear and loading the dogs and then we were on our way back to the city.

We got home about 6:30, and after the Jeep was unloaded and all the gear put up, I went in and checked my email and found one from the local clinic. I smiled and read it over quickly then printed it. With the truth about my health proven, I discreetly went to the bathroom to shower while Will called for Chinese take-out. I had done some internet searches and found out how to prepare for anal sex. I stretched my hole as the description said while I cleaned myself out and it had begun to feel really good. When I was back there poking around I actually found my prostrate and I saw stars when I did, it was amazing. Once I’d finished I felt remarkably good following that new experience. I returned to the living room wearing a pair of loose jammie pants and a deep V white tee. I thought I looked good. My low hung thin baggy pants hid nothing, the white shirt seemed to glow which accentuated my dark tan and the exposed a patch of hairy chest… Will noticed my change of attire immediately and I think he liked what he saw. It was a new experience for me to dress for the purpose of eliciting sexual desire in someone of the same sex and it was flattering to see it actually work. The food delivery came on time and I walked through to the kitchen to pour us both a glass of wine and get plates, chop sticks, and napkins. Acting as cool as I could not to tip him off about my excitement I sat beside him and handed him the glass of plum wine. I caught his scent and it shocked me when it filled my head and then filled my groin. I couldn’t help it I pulled him into a searing kiss, demanding and needy. Man, I had it bad! I forced myself to pull away and laughed when I heard someone’s stomach growl. Will had put the takeout on the coffee table. “Man this smells great, I’m really hungry!” I said and we attacked it.

“Me too, I love Chinese takeout…” Will pined as he bit into a spring roll, he moaned as the flavors lit up his senses.

We talked about our day and about meeting the boys on the trail. I pulled a hikers atlas from under the coffee table and we began to plan our next hiking adventure together. We even talked about inviting the boys to join us this time.

I was full and had to stop or I’d be miserable. “Will?” I said once we sat back, hunger sated… I handed him the print out.

“What’s this?” he sat his glass on the table and opened the paper. He read all three pages more than once. “Matt what is this you are showing me?”

“It is a ten panel STI test that I took yesterday and this is the result. It means I’m healthy and have no bugs.”

“That’s great. I had my tests as part of my out-processing. I don’t have anything either.” he wasn’t connecting the dots.

I smiled at him and met his gaze. “I love you Will… these last few days have been the happiest I have been in too many years to count. I have a question for you.”

“Ok?”

“Would you take me to bed and make love to me?” His expression went from ‘I’m confused’ to ‘surprise’. “I understand that you haven’t had sex with a man before and I can totally understand if you are hesitant and don’t want to… And if you don’t want to I want you to know that it won’t change my feelings I have for you.”

“Matt, I…”

I nervously interrupted him. “At first I was going to suggest a choice to you… me make love to you or you to me, but I think I’d like you to make love to me… I’m still a little afraid but I think I’m ready… but if you’re not ready yet… or you…”

“God Matt will you shut up?” and he flew at me from his end of the sofa, crushing my lips in a passionate kiss. “Yes. I will make love to you, all night long and in the morning too.”

“Oh god you said yes!” a mix of relief, shock, and fear played across my face. And then an old cliché came to mind, ‘be careful what you wish for’ and boy did it come through loud and clear. “Will I don’t want anything between us… no condoms please.” I pleaded.

“Right, no condoms.” He smiled, “I remember telling you that I hadn’t met a man that I wanted to have sex with… I still haven’t met that man, but I have found a man that I want to make love to…“

I smiled. “Will, take me to bed… please?” I stood up and pulled him into an embrace. I pulled back and stared into his eyes. We picked up our wine and I led the way to the bedroom. The long trek down the hall came to an end in front of my dresser when I took his glass and set them both on the top. We slowly began to undress each other. I kissed his sexy parts as I went. Once we stood naked before each other the passion was thick and tangible. I spun him around and pushed him back onto the bed and climbed on top. I was nervous but determined for Will and I to consummate. My giddiness turned to fun and I began wrestling with him, he responded in kind and tried flipping me over. He had no idea that I was a wrestling champ in high school, there are some things you never forget… it’s my little secret and I wanted to see how long it took him to catch on…

I had him on his back and discreetly palmed a glob of KY… I stroked his shaft with the fist-full of lube and did the same with my crack and hole. I had captured Will’s wrists in my hands and pinned them above his head while kissing him senseless. My hips rolled back and forth teasing him, Will’s cock was leaking furiously. I had positioned his shaft in my crack mixing his natural lube with the KY across my hole. He was rolling his hips too trying to snag my hole and push in, I smiled knowingly. I timed his thrusts with my own and on each thrust he almost had it but not quite. Will’s frustration was building to a fevered pitch. I released his arms and they went to hold my hips in a flash. Now with my hands free, I stroked his chest and played with his nipples… the man was going wild with lust. He rolled his hips and pulled my cheeks apart and got the resistance he needed to push into my channel. When he breached my ring I did see stars. I stopped kissing him and buried my face on the side of his neck and drew a strong hissing breath through my teeth, “Oh FUCK…” Wow the pain was sharp and unexpected.

Will froze with only the first inch of his cock in me, “Shit I’m sorry, did I hurt you?” he ask.

“Give me a minute.” I said. I slowly pulled off him breathing through the pain. Then once I made myself relax I sat back on him, his cock piercing my ring again… the pain was much less this time. I pulled off him once again repeating the re-entry, but this time my body flushed with pleasure and goose flesh. I started rocking my hips and now with the pain gone it bloomed into pleasure and I began breathing normally and moaning. “Oh god this feels incredible… Will take me now and make love to me.” Will’s lips met mine in another crushing kiss. He was taking too long so I sat back taking more of him into me which ignited sensations in me that I’ve never heard of let alone ever felt, this caused my brain to short-circuit and a stream of nonsense flowed out of my mouth.

“Oh god Matt you are so hot and so tight.” He was emitting his own stream of vocalizations as his cock hit bottom and his balls pressed against my ass pushing him into action.

“Will don’t stop! Oh please don’t stop.” I pleaded.

“No way, I’m going to make you feel so good.”

“God Will if it feels any better I swear I will pass out.” Will was having leverage issues, the solution popped in my head instantly. I sat up and in the process Will’s cock was driven deeper and my eyes flew open, “FUCK…” I breathed through that new and powerful sensation. “Bend your knees and pull your legs alongside, we are going to do some gymnastics.” He looked confused but complied. It didn’t take much more effort to roll backwards and pull him on top keeping his cock buried deliciously inside me. On my back, legs held up and apart and looking up into Will’s gorgeous face. “I like this view too. God you feel good inside me.” I reached my hand up and stroked a fingertip across his cheek, “Will, please make love to me and claim me… Make me yours.” I pulled him to my lips. Will pulled his hips back and began a slow deep rhythm sending me higher. I found Will to be an extremely satisfying lover and very vocal too… It filled my heart even more. I loved this man and knew that this was the path I wanted and Will was the man to walk it beside me.

Will began to pick up speed and his rhythm faltered, “God Matt you feel so good…” His breath became ragged and he broke his kiss. “OH fuck… Matt I’m not going to last.” He picked up speed, slamming into my ass more forcefully pounding my prostrate in the process.

Between Will battering my bundle of nerves and his abs rubbing my cock in my own pool of precum my climax built to an epic level, “Me too baby… come on lover cum with me.” I gasped as my climax claimed me. The first rope of cum flew from my cock and hit my cheek. I saw the moment when the sight and smell of my seed hit Will and at that moment his orgasm claimed him.

Will cried out. “Oh fuck I feel you cumming…. So tight…. ARGHHHH.” He slammed into me one last time diving deep, his body went rigid and I felt each spasm of his cock, I counted each one… five, six, seven… the look on his face was utterly beautiful. We both collapsed in a sweaty heap gasping for air. “God Matt…” he said in between gasps. “I am an experienced lover…”

“Fuck, I will totally agree with you there.” I said sniggering.

He chuckled, “Yea well, I have never experienced anything like I did with you. I feel things I don’t understand… things that I’ve never had with anyone else.”

“Just stay here with me and keep doing what you just did with just me. I have no intention on sharing you with anyone.” I had to move. “Sit up… No don’t pull out. Pull my leg over and cuddle with me… I love feeling you inside me and I want you to stay there as long as I can keep you.” I said.

Will settled behind me wrapped against my back. “You got it, I’m not going anywhere… I think I’ve found my home, I belong here with you.” He thrust his hips slowly, “God Matt, I wanna fuck you again.” He said with a growl.

“Will, I don’t want anyone else. I’m yours… I’m only for you. God the feelings I have for you, I cannot describe.” I pulled his arms in tight. “I can’t believe good how you feel inside me. I want you Will… I will always want you and I hope you will always want me… Now fuck me again like you own it this time.” I replied.

“You want me to fuck you?” he growled.

“God yes Will… Fuck me again. Fuck me hard.”

“Fuuuuck!” He buried his face in the small of my neck and jabbed me hard and fast, taking my breath away. He was having traction issues again and shifted me up onto my knees. His fingers sunk hard into my hips as he grasped a solid anchor. He changed his attack and hammered my ass hard with long hard strokes. My body was shaking so hard that I couldn’t hold my shoulders up. I collapsed and lay my face flat against the cool mattress. My world narrowed to Will’s cock hammering my ass and his fingers digging into my hips, undoubtedly leaving bruises… I didn’t care, I would be proud to wear his mark and show them off. I was totally focused upon Will… there was only Will. His vocalizations, grunting, heavy breathing, and the love that I knew he had for me. I had no thought for my burning need to cum again. He was a damned fine lover, his stamina was admirable, but even the mighty must fall. I barely knew anything but I did sense that his orgasm was going to come soon. He thrust with several hard short strokes dead on target of my prostrate, I don’t know how many it took but my orgasm hit me without warning. My grip on my cock stilled and my body convulsed as I shouted ‘OHHHhhhhhhhh….’ My hole cinched up tight and my cock spewed forth another heavy load. From behind me Will shouted “FUUUUUCK!!” and his full weight pushed against my ass trying to drive even deeper into me, his cock injecting me with another batch of his seed… he emptied his balls deep in me again and I was content.

He collapsed across my back and my knees gave out as I fell into the wet-spot I had just made. My brain slowly came back after more than a few misfires. Wills hard cock was still deep in my sensitive tunnel… every twitch of his cock sent shocks of pleasure through my system. I lay there basking in the sensations and the love that we shared. “Oh Matt…” he started, his voice heavy with emotion.

“Shhh, I know.” I replied.

We fell into a deep sleep. Will’s cock slipped out after it had softened and neither of us was conscious to witness it, but sometime around five o’clock I woke up to Will pushing his cock into my ass again. I moaned deeply, “This is ok right? I mean you’re not too sore?” he asked.

“Oh fuck… yea I’m sore but don’t you dare stop. I will never get enough of you…” I grunted after a particularly deep thrust. “Come for me baby…”

Soon Will had me in a hug so tight I thought I would pass out. He thrust into me several more times and went totally rigid, pushing deeper and cried out before I felt his cock convulse and shoot another load in me.

We lay there unmoving for a time, “Hey baby, you want to sleep or get a shower?”

“I don’t want to move… I love being inside you.” Will said as he snuggled my neck.

“You won’t get any arguments from me. It blows my mind how much I love the feel of you inside me.” I sighed contently. “I never would have believed that I could love sex with you this much…”

“I know… I want to be inside you forever.” He sighed contentedly.

After that night I knew that I not only had his undeclared love, but I also had a little part of him in me. Whenever I thought about it I would flush and remember the love we shared… it was special and I couldn’t explain it.

The next day we headed out to the zoo. It was uneventful except for the undeniable fact that Will and I were growing even closer and more comfortable with each other. We held hands almost the entire day moving from one habitat to another. Will and I were alone together in the crowd of other guests. If there were any other patrons who disapproved of us we never noticed.

Two days later as our evening came to an end.

“Matt… I want you to make love to me.” I was stunned. He had explained to me before that he wasn’t ready, but tonight something changed.

“Wow Will I’m not going to argue, but are you sure? What made you change your mind?”

“I don’t know, I guess I’ve been thinking… Trying to sort out my feelings… It scares me to think of you not being around. I am happier with you than I have ever been in my life. I want to spend every moment with you, not because I’m codependent, but because I can’t wait to see what happens next. I want to please you before myself. I can’t stop thinking of you. I notice everything about you, and I see how happy and fulfilled you are after I make love to you. Kinda lame huh?”

“No Will… I think you just may be in love.” I said affectionately.

“Do you think so? I realized that I’m afraid of things like losing you. I figured the best way to keep you would be to tear down the walls and be vulnerable… I know how much it took you to trust me enough to be that vulnerable. I don’t know if that’s love, but I know it’s important.”

“Yes Will, I think it may be love.” I smiled. “So how soon can you go get your stuff and move in with me so I can love you for the rest of our lives?”

Will flashed that award winning smile, “Faster than you’d think. Now make love to me and make me yours.”

“Baby, I think you are already mine… heart and soul, but I will gladly mark you so I can add your body to complete my set.”

He laughed. “God Matt, I have never met anyone like you and Neil before and I am so happy I did.”

“Me too Mister William Grovers… me too.” I dove in for more of his delicious lips before I pulled his legs up and tongued his hole. That was a very new experience for us, but it was so worth it to make Will come unglued like that. I then added some flavored lube and began to alternate between my tongue and my fingers as I patiently prepared Will. He was thrashing about from all the attention I was giving him, and his cock proved it too with the puddle of precum dripping on his chest. When I found his prostrate he reacted the same way I had when I found mine that day in the shower, and I had to hold on tight! By the time I judged him ready for me he was begging… truth be told, I was ready to give it to him too. I lowered his legs and let them rest on my shoulders as I aimed my cock at his virginal chute. Even though he was heavily lubed and loose from my tongue and fingers, I knew to take it slow and gentile. “Will, look at me. Take a deep breath then exhale and push out against me gently.” I was enthralled as I looked down to see his pucker push out as if it was reaching to pull me in. I breached him slowly and Will arched his back and growled long and deep as I continued to push deeper into his molten channel. Will threw his arms wide grabbing at the bed clothes, his head snapped back, and his strong rapid pulse plainly visible in his corded neck. He continued growling and breathing heavily. I slowed my penetration and he continued to thrash and moan.

“Fuck a duck, you are huge!” Will exclaimed

“Are you ok? Do you need me to stop?” I asked

“FUCK NO! Matt don’t you dare fuckin stop, you feel amazing!” Will demanded.

“Fuck you are so tight!” It was then that I noticed that his nipples were pebbled and he was covered in goose flesh. He is right, this was amazing. I leaned forward driving my cock deeper into his core until we were once again face to face. I kissed him passionately as I withdrew, stopping just short of disconnect. The next thrust was a bit more forceful, Will’s groan was almost sub-vocal and it registered as total bliss. I continued to pick up speed as I found a rhythm that worked. I was not going to last so I sat up and focused upon pegging his prostrate as much as possible, which luckily I did successfully with repeating quick short strokes. Then the damnedest thing happened, Will froze and his face registered shock just before his cock erupted, spewing his juice on his chest and face. His ass cinched down hard on my cock and I lost it. I couldn’t control myself any longer and slammed my cock deep into Will’s channel and let lose, injecting him with my seed, I think my eyesight may have even greyed out for a moment too. Sex with Will was by far the best sex I have ever had. I came to and saw Will’s face covered in his own seed and I smiled with a giddy flutter in my guts, I leaned back down and licked his semen from his mouth and cheeks and continued to lazily thrust in and out of him.

Will wrapped his arms around me and held me tight. “Will, are you ok?”

Emotion was just under his skin and the look in his eyes was something I couldn’t place. “My god Matt… I came without touching my cock! How does that happen?” He asked astonished.

“Baby I don’t know, but that was amazing… God you are amazing, I love you Will.” I said before I sat back and slowly pulled out. I eased his legs back down and cuddled up behind him. I was surprised that my cock was still hard and I couldn’t help but press it into Wills hip.

“Matt, slip it back inside me at least for a while and hold me tight.” He asked, and at that moment it occurred to me how vulnerable he sounded.

“Forever Will, I’ll hold you forever.” I kissed his nape as I slipped my cock back inside his channel eliciting a shutter and a moan from him then a mad grip on my arms pulling me to him tightly.

“Is this what it feels like Matt?”

“Will, when I’m with you, nothing else matters. There is only you and being together with you. You are the life running in my veins and if I am denied you, I will just wither and die.” I answered.

“Yes, that’s it Matt… That’s it.”  He said with a sigh.

My cock was still hard so I started to move and thrust leisurely while kissing and nibbling on his neck. Will moaned and pushed his hips back at me, meeting my thrusts. I had planned to just hold Will, I hadn’t planned to fuck him, but I was and all too soon I felt that coil in my gut begin to tighten. Will was stroking himself in time to my thrusts and I could feel his muscle ring flex and squeeze my cock as I pulled back. I shifted a bit and pulled his arm over his head which gave me easy access to his nipple. I locked my lips around his nipple like a hungry man, taking us higher and higher. Will’s breathing was becoming ragged and I knew he was close to coming on my cock again. I couldn’t hold back anymore and started really pounding his ass. I accidentally bit his nipple which sent him head first into his climax, his ass clamped down on my cock which triggered my orgasm. “Oh fuck baby, I’m cumming again!”

We lay there catching our breath, “That was so hot. Are you ok?”

“Wow Matt, I’m perfect… when you bit my nipple I just lost it.”

“I didn’t hurt you did I?” I thrust my hips gently a couple of times. “I love being inside you. God I’m exhausted.” I had never been so satisfied before.

“No you didn’t hurt me… I need a nap too. Just hold me Matt…” Will said just as he heard a soft snore from me, soon he followed me into slumber. My cock stayed rooted inside Will for a while longer before it softened and slipped out.

I awoke the morning to find Will smiling watching me sleep. “Good morning.” He said

I yawned and rubbed my eyes and mumbled ‘morning’ and snuggled into his chest. I loved the way that patch of hair in the center of his chest felt on my cheek. “What do you want to do today?” I mumbled.

“Not sure… maybe just stay in today and hang at the pool all day.” He said as he ghosted his fingers over my bare skin.

I moaned at the sensations firing my desires. “m’k… good… want you.”

Will smiled, “you want me in you now?” he asked.

“mmm hmmm”

“Good, I want to be in you too.” He answered. Will palmed a dollop of lube, pulled my knees up, and rolled me onto my back. He wasted no time penetrating me. I was so relaxed that after the initial pinch and a breath sucked between my teeth all there was left was a long satisfying moan coming from me. Will was truly a gifted lover which I had a tremendous appreciation for at that moment as he made love to me.

“Oh god I love you Will.” I managed to say between the passionate kissing. This experience was still so new to me to be the one who was penetrated… it amazed me how much I loved it. Will’s breath hitched and I knew he was going to cum soon and he did. His body tensed up tight and he forced his cock even deeper and held it for a moment before I heard a choked groan and began to feel his cock convulse and I felt a flush of complete satisfaction. He pulled out after a few minutes leaving me with a sense of loss, but he made up for it by consuming my cock in his mouth. It didn’t take very long at all before I was shooting my load down Will’s hungry throat. He finished licking me clean and crawled up beside me licking his lips and smiling.

“Wow baby, what a hell of a way to wake up. I love you.” As I pulled him down for another kiss and he pulled me close against his body, wrapping me in his scent and his love.

We finally got out of bed and out into the house wearing nothing. I made coffee but before I made breakfast I asked Will if he wanted to take a run first. “Aren’t you kinda sore to be running?” he asked grinning.

“Not sore enough.” I answered as I jutted my jaw out in a rebellious gesture.

He laughed and wrapped himself around me kissed me and said, “I guess I have more work to do later.” He squeezed my butt.

I chuckled “I wouldn’t mind at all!” I retorted and Will smiled. I seriously couldn’t get enough of him. Yes I was sore… but.

We finished a cup of coffee and a smoothie to get charged up for the run. I tucked the house key in the small pouch in the waistband of the shorts tied my shoes, pulled on a white v-neck tee, and Grabbed two insulated sport water bottles. I walked into the great room finding Will dressed the same way and ready to go. “Shall we go?” I said as I handed him a bottle. “The parkway is a couple blocks over. It’s a nice comfortable five mile run along the creek.” We went outside and did our warm-ups and did our run.  The morning was perfect, warm, low humidity, and a slight breeze. We managed an easy pace and finished in less than an hour.

“Wow that was a good run, thanks Matt. I’m ready for a shower and breakfast now.” Will said.

“Yea me too.” I said as I pulled heavily on the mouthpiece of my water bottle. “Let’s just shower off quickly outside and stay at the pool all day. There is fruit, yogurt, deli meat, and a bag of soft rolls that I could use to make a food platter for us to nibble on. I could also poach some eggs to put on the rolls.”

“Wow that sounds awesome.” He smiled, “Race ya” he let out a ‘whoop’ and bolted. I’m a fairly competent sprinter, but I just couldn’t overtake him. We raced to the house acting like kids, he obviously won… I think we both won after I got a kiss from the winner.

We went through the house and set our bottles on the kitchen counter then went out back to shower. “Do you want a scrub this time?” Will asked.

I smiled, “Sure, I’d love one then I want to fuck you.”

“Deal!”

Will’s presence was so fulfilling to me and I have no idea why or how I went so long without him. I made a pass through the house for towels and the bottle of lube, I found him naked in the yard playing with the dogs. “Are you ready for a shower?” I asked as I toed off my shoes and dropped my shorts tossing them near the laundry room door.

“Yep.”

I met Will at the shower and turned it on. Will kissed me then turned me to face the wall as he did the first time. Only this time he kicked my feet apart and spent more time caressing and exploring. I soon felt his hard cock at my entrance and I didn’t even think, I bent my knees a little and pushed back as he pushed forward. “I’m sorry, I have to be inside you right now” Will said.

I heard him moaned softly as he filled me up slowly. My body shivered uncontrollably, “I’m not complaining lover.” I answered with a moan of my own.

“You can have me next if you want, I really want to suck you off again.”

At that moment he grazed my prostrate. “Ohhhhh yessss… I want you Will, I always want you.”

“Oh Fuck Matt, I’m not gonna last.” The idea of fucking outside turned him on something fierce. He lost it in less than three minutes.

“GOD I can feel you cumming.” I said as I pushed back to meet his thrusts. He clung to my back, lungs heaving and cock still twitching. I needed to cum in a bad way. Will slowly pulled out which I found always leaves me with a sense of loss. He turned me around and kissed me hard before sinking to his knees. He grasped my shaft and stroked it a couple of times, I had to laugh when I saw him lick his lips, god it was so cute. Will opened his mouth and took me in lovingly. His tongue was going after the sweet nectar that had coated the head and slicked my foreskin. “God baby that feels so good… I’m really close.” I had my hands in his hair… and then I felt myself begin to unravel. “Fuck, I’m gonna cum… I’m cumming.” He held on and continued to lick, suck and nibble my cock. I tried to pull out of his mouth, but he had ahold of my balls and was pulling them toward him, I wasn’t going anywhere. “WILL!” I shouted only a split second before my seed spilled over his eager tongue.

Will stood with his hands on my hips and kissed me. “Matthew Elliot… Thank you for letting me into your life. I honestly have found where I belong, if you were serious about me staying indefinitely then I accept. By everything you describe about what you feel then I think maybe I’m in love with you too.”

“Will Grovers, Yes I’m serious. I cannot imagine going back to living my life as I had been before meeting you. You have woken me from a lifeless loveless existence.”

After our shower and spoken commitment I went into the kitchen to prepare a snack tray of fruit, cheese, deli meat, veggies, and nuts to take out to the pool where we both wanted to spend our day. I wanted to soak in the hot tub then I had the idea to do yoga in the yard, something I hadn’t done in a while. I sat the tray on the table on the patio and called to Will. “Will, have you ever done yoga before?”

“No I haven’t.” he responded.

“I’m going to get mats, would you like to try?”

“Ok, yea I would.” I smiled, Will’s eagerness to try new things pleased me to no end. We spent the next two and a half hours doing yoga, or rather me teaching him yoga.

Once we finished up I said to Will, “You know, a coworker told me about a naked yoga class not long ago. At the time I thought she was crazy, but doing it with you has been really fun and you are really picking this up fast.” I was rolling up the mats when my phone rang. “hello” I said into the hand set.

“Mister Elliot?”

Yes this is Matt Elliot, what can I do for you?”

“This is Jake, my friend Alan and I met you hiking.”

“Of course. Jake it’s good to hear from you. What are you guys up to?” Will listened in on the conversation.

“We were wondering if we could all get together again sometime, we really enjoyed hanging out with you guys.” Will smiled and nodded his agreement.

“Sure, Will and I would enjoy seeing you guys again. We just finished doing yoga and we had planned to just stay at the pool today.” I said

“You guys do yoga? That’s cool. Do you think we could come over?” He asked, I looked questioningly to Will and he nodded again.

“Sure, come on.” I gave them the address.

“Wow that’s really close, we can be there in twenty minutes if that’s ok.”

“Twenty minutes would be fine. See you guys in a few.” I terminated the call and turned to Will. “It looks like the boys are coming over to visit.”

“Cool. Let’s get into the hot tub until they get here.” Will suggested and I agreed. We soaked in the tub until I heard an unfamiliar car pull into the driveway.

“I guess they are here” I said as I climbed out of the tub and wrapped a towel around my waist I walked around the pool to the front gate and opened it with a warm welcoming smile. But what greeted me on the other side of the gate was nothing to smile about. Alan had a badly bruised face. “Oh my god Alan what happened?”

Jake answered, “His dad saw us kissing and beat the shit out of him after he tossed me out of their apartment.”

“Shit. You’re not staying there are you?” I asked as I pulled them into the yard and closed the gate. I felt Will walk up beside me, he saw Alan then he said ‘fuckin bastard’ and pulled Alan into a hug.

“No, he is staying with me for now… mom said he can stay for a few days. She isn’t happy with us but she is royally pissed at Alan’s dad.

“I hope you called the police.” Will said.

“Yea mom did.” Jake sighed, “Happy coming out to us, huh? We haven’t even had sex yet… doesn’t that totally suck?”

“Yea. Ok what can we do to help? Alan, do you need a place to stay?”

“I can’t afford anything Mister Elliot, I am so fucked! I still have to finish this year of high school then I’m supposed to start at the community college in the fall. My plans were to live at home with my mom & dad and apply for loans and Pell grants to go to State after my pre-reqs were done. Now my plans are for shit.” Alan sighed in resignation.

“Alan, I told you to call me Matt. I think I can help you out with a permanent place to live. There is a one bedroom apartment above the garage that is just storage right now. I had plans to rent it out before my son died, and until I met Will I had been living in a fog and really hadn’t done anything I’d planned to do. Jake, what about you? Are you ok staying with your parents?”

“I’m not sure… my dad said some ugly things to us. I don’t feel welcome there anymore, and I think it won’t be long until I get the boot too.” Jake said sadly.

“What about jobs?” Will asked.

Jake shrugged. “I deliver pizzas.”

This got me thinking. Will guided them to the food and the drinks. ‘no beer’ I told them.  I took Will aside, “Do you think I should do this? I mean, this is your home now too… do you mind them sharing our home?”

“Hell no I don’t mind! I appreciate you asking me, it makes me feel like I belong here.” Will said.

“Will, you do belong here. I plan to keep you for a very long time.” I reached for the phone and called my HR director. “Hi Jeanie, this is Matt Elliot, do you have a minute?”

“Hello Matt, I hope you are enjoying your vacation. What can I do for you?”

“I have a couple kids that need jobs. One is seventeen and the other is eighteen, do we have any entry level jobs or something that they can start in and build up to?”

“Good timing Matt, we have three openings. Two in shipping and receiving and I just got a new admin request.”

“Who’s the admin for?” I asked

“Tony Starling in Purchasing.”

“Ah, ok I know Tony he’s a good guy. So do you mind if I send these two to you tomorrow?”

“Not at all, if they are a good fit it will save me a lot of work.”

“Thanks Jeanie, I owe you one.” I terminated the call, and joined the guys on the porch. “Ok guys, I just called my HR rep. She has three job openings. Shipping and receiving and an admin job. I’m sending you to go see her tomorrow. I suggest that you work up a resume before you show up. The admin job is a new position for a man named Tony Starling in purchasing. He is a good man and runs his department fairly… all he cares about is taking care of the department and doing a good job.” I handed them another business card with the address on it.

“You’d do that for us?” Alan asked.

“Yes we will Alan. Do you want to see the apartment? It’s going to take some effort to clean it up. But you both can move in and we can talk about what would be a fair rent once you start getting paid.”

Nearly at the same time Jake and Alan said “we don’t need to see it… We’ll take it!” Will and I laughed.

“Come and see it anyway.” I went in the house and got the key for the door to the private entrance. I led everyone back to the front gate and to the door beside it. “I had meant to replace this door with one with a window… maybe I’ll do that now.” I unlocked it and started up the stairs. I hadn’t been in here in at least a year and the musty smell proved it along with the dust and cobwebs. At the top of the stairs was a small landing with a small alcove to hang coats and keep dirty shoes away from the steps. The door to the unit had a full length window and a curtain, it was unlocked. Aside from the squeaky hinges it opened smoothly. The main room was living space with a small kitchen and a balcony that overlooked the back yard. Through another door was a respectable bathroom in the single 12X14 bedroom. A few pieces of mismatched furniture were under sheets and boxes were stacked everywhere. “Well aside from a musty smell, an inch of dust, and an indigenous species of spider I think it can be made livable again. The power and water are off and all the drains have all been winterized… last year. I have better furniture in storage that we can bring in… frankly this stuff was ready for the dump years ago.” The look on the boys’ faces said everything I needed to know. “Ok, I want you to each go to this website I’m going to show you and build a resume to give to Jeanie tomorrow. The next thing we have to do is clean up this apartment. I think the four of us can knock it out in a day. We will move out all the boxes and the nasty old furniture and then you two can clean it top to bottom and I will spray for critters. Once that’s all done we will go to my storage unit and we will dig out the other furniture. Does that work for everybody?”

“I’m good” Will said.

“Matt, I don’t know what to say. Thank you doesn’t seem to say enough.” Alan said.

“Thank you Matt, we owe you big time.” Jake said.

“Guys, just make me proud tomorrow when you go see Jeanie.” I winked at them. “Now let me set you up so you can do your resumes and Will and I are going back to the hot tub, you guys can join us when you’re done.” I retrieved my laptop from my office and browsed to the resume builder site then I went to join Will in the hot tub.

Will was watching me, “Are you going to be ok going from lone ranger to tribe leader all within a week?” he asked.

I was thoughtful for a few moments. “Yea I think I’ll be good. I have you to keep me grounded, and having the boys will be like having Neil around as a kid… maybe.” I smiled, “Yea that little box that I’d convinced myself was a great place to live, isn’t so great anymore… I’ve grown a lot since you arrived… it almost doesn’t seem real, but reality reasserts its self each time you are there to love me.” I said watching the smile form on Will’s face.

The boys worked for nearly an hour on their resumes before they joined us in the tub. We had already set the status quo on our hike in relation to nudity. They both skinned out of their clothes and slipped into the tub with a sigh. The day hadn’t gotten too warm yet so the water felt really good. “How did it go?” Will asked.

“There wasn’t a lot to put on it, but I think it will pass.” Alan said. I was still having a hard time looking at the bruises his father put on his face.

“Alan, I never got a chance to ask, did you get checked out by a doctor?” I asked. Shame seemed to rear its ugly head. “There is no shame Alan, I’m just concerned that there may be other damage other than what you can see.” He seemed to recover some.

“The police made me go to ER and get checked out after they hauled him away.” He seemed smaller at that moment. “I called Jake just before they took me to the hospital. He went into my house and gathered clothes, school bag, laptop, and a bunch of other things while mom was busy with the cops.”

“Ok, when you start on the apartment you can stack the boxes in the garage in front of the Miata, I will go through it and dispose of it or take it to storage, the furniture can be taken straight to the curb. There’s a sofa and love seat, end tables, lamps, dining table, full kitchen setup, queen size bed with matching dresser and night stands in storage. There is also a full size stacked washer/drier, all of it came from Neil’s apartment.” The boys heard the stories about Neil during the hike. “The unit has wood floors so cleaning will be easy. I will turn on the power and water and open the drains. I will check the A/C, heater, water heater, and stove, once you get it cleared out.”

“Sounds like that will take a couple of days.” Jake remarked.

I thought about how much work it would take, “Maybe, so until then you can stay in the main house. You can use the room I had set up for Will since he isn’t using it anymore.” Will smiled and winked at the boys.

“So you really converted him huh?” Jake asked. That comment earned him a punch in the arm from Alan and a round of laughter from us.

Will answered first. “I don’t think either of us converted anyone… we sort of met in the middle at the same time.” He stopped and shook his head, “Matt, I still can’t believe it’s only been only a week.” He spoke to the others again, “I can’t explain the draw that I have had to Matt, I have never felt anything like it before.”

“It’s still amazing to me that you were both totally straight a week ago… It’s really cool.” Jake paused. “And to think that me and Alan… we could have been boyfriends a longtime ago.”

“Me either Jake… a romantic relationship with a man just never registered with me. I didn’t have any negative attitudes, just no interest.” I said. “What do you say to some lunch and then we can get a start on that apartment?”

Our lazy day was interrupted by a couple hours of physical labor, but otherwise ended relaxing for us all.

The next day the boys were up early picking up from where they left off in the apartment. We found that the unit was in surprisingly good shape. The power and water were restored, I checked all the appliances and thankfully they all worked. I reminded boys about their 2pm appointment with Jeanie just before I called this contractor I knew to come and change the outside door. That evening I pulled out the hiker’s atlas again and Will picked the next place we wanted to hike. The place he picked was a canyon in the next state over, about a three and a half hour drive.  Over the next couple days the boys had cleaned the apartment and helped me move the furniture out of storage. There were several area rugs in storage that I had forgotten about that came in handy too. Once we had finished, the apartment was just as cute as I had remembered. Tonight the boys will be spending their first night in the apartment, so we celebrated with a backyard cook out and an evening in the hot tub, all naked of course.

Since his arrival Will had begun to darken to a very attractive medium bronze tone… God he was beautiful! Our lazy days at the pool were coming to an end with my vacation days ticking down, and Will looking for a job. We decided that part of my last week of vacation was to be spent on a hiking trip in Rustler’s Canyon. It was a twenty-five mile hike that paralleled a small river; it was in fact the same river but far upstream from Alameda Canyon. We planned for Monday through Wednesday with two nights camping on the trail. I found all my cross-country hiking gear in the boxes we had pulled out of the apartment. I was able to scrounge up enough backpacks for four, but only two sleeping bags. I found one two-man tent and after an exhaustive search I remembered that the other one was in the attic. I knew that it would get cold overnight so I improvised, Will and I would share a bag and Alan and Jake would share the other. I added blankets made into bedrolls… the idea I had was to use the bags as the bottom of a sleeping pallet with the blankets over the top.

That night we had the house to ourselves, we could have sex anywhere in the house if we wanted… and we did, and that night was in the great room on the floor. I know I have said this before, but sex with Will was incredible and there always seemed to be something unexpected about each encounter and as if on cue Will cried out, “Fuuuuck! OH GOD Yes!” Will’s powerful orgasm gripped him, his body began quivering beneath me as the orgasm ripped through his soul. Will’s cock squirted load after load of his molten semen between our bodies lubricating our chests as he came. He squirmed and moaned beneath me as his ass clamped down around me automatically.

Moments later I was completely overcome with a top-notch orgasm of my own. I gasped, “Oh god Will!” as my dick exploded inside of him. I kept pumping his tight hole through my climax, although slower and with less energy with each stroke, until finally I collapsed on top of him completely drained of energy. The combined musky smell of sex and our sweat permeated the room. He rubbed his smooth cheek against mine as we slowly returned to reality, still clinging tightly to one another.

Finally, after several minutes of recovery time, we pulled apart and just grinned at each other then hit the shower. After a fast shower we went to bed and held each other some more.

The next morning I had to work for a couple of hours in my home office. Once I finished up I went to the kitchen to start lunch and as I stood at the sink filling the tea kettle I looked out the large window into the yard and saw Alan and Jake fucking beside the pool. I stood there watching… mesmerized. I didn’t hear Will walk up behind me. He reached around me and turned off the water when he saw what I was looking at. “Wow that didn’t take them long at all did it? They are kinda hot aren’t they?”

“Will is that how we look when we make love?” I asked.

“I don’t know Matt… why? Are you thinking about putting on a show too?”

“No… Will it’s beautiful I’ve just never watched people doing it like that.”

“What do you mean you haven’t watched people do that? You’ve watched porn right?”

“Yes I’ve watched porn, but I always found porn really fake… This is real and emotional. Just look at them, look at the way Jake is kissing Alan while he thrusts slowly. It looks like they are in love doesn’t it?”

“I think they are in love Matt… and you are right, I haven’t really stopped to think about it in those terms. They really do make a cute couple and I think it’s beautiful too. Come back to bed, I want to make love to you too.” He grinned and rubbed my butt.

I laughed, “You are almost as insatiable as I am. Let’s go… lunch will keep for a while.” I grasped his hand in mine and headed for the bedroom.

When we finished cleaning up I went back to making lunch, I noticed immediately that the show was over. “Will, do you think we should have the ‘condom talk’ with them?”

“That would be sort of hypocritical of us wouldn’t it? Considering not an hour ago I injected my spunk into your ass before it started leaking from your hole and running down your leg.” He said laughing.

“You’re a funny guy! I happen to love that part. Well not the leakage.” I chuckled.

“Oh don’t get me wrong… I love shooting my babies in you too. Maybe we should talk about safe practices and emphasize monogamy, and not harp on condoms.”

“That’s probably a better approach.” I agreed

That evening I invited the boys to join us for dinner. I grilled steaks and veggies, green bean casserole, garden salad, and my favorite crusty rolls. I served and sat down. “Dig in boys!” I winked at Will. “So guess what I saw today?”

Everyone looked at me asking ‘I give up, what’ “I saw two young hot guys screwing at my pool!” Jake and Alan stopped and looked at each other… Busted! “So, are you using condoms?”

… blank stare…

“Ok by that reaction I will assume that you aren’t. Ok guys. This is your requisite safety briefing. No more unsafe sex… no unprotected anal sex until after you get tested. If after you are tested and the results are negative… If you choose not to use condoms then you must be monogamous… Do you understand? No three ways, no other boyfriends on the DL, nobody but you two. This is a health safety issue.”

“You saw us?” Alan asked blushing shamefully

I smiled. “Yes we did.” Will said, “and we thought it was beautiful…”

Alan blushed “Yes Mister Elliot, we understand.” Jake responded

“If you have never had any previous sexual encounters before you will be ok, if you have had sex before you should both go get tested… do the ten panel STI test, its tests for hepatitis too.” I smiled softly, “With all you have recently experienced, you don’t need any more trouble.” I paused. “Also while I’m thinking about it you should both establish a change of address with your school.”

“I already have credits enough to graduate. I’m just going to finish up and forget graduation.” Jake said.

“Jake, I think it is important for you to both finish… and that means walking with your class. That only happens once in your life.” Will said and I nodded in agreement.

***

Two months has passed since the boys moved into the upstairs apartment. Jeanie gave them both jobs and seemed to be doing well. They also reconsidered completing school and applied for financial aid for college. Will’s things were delivered last month and I was a surprised at how little there was, he shrugged and told me that he traveled light. He decided to go back to school using his GI Bill… he said that he wanted to get a physical therapy degree which I think would fit him well. It has been astounding to me how happy Will and I have been together, and the sex… oh my god the sex is like nothing I have ever experienced. We are so emotionally in tune that each time we come together physically it is always a new experience for us and I trust him like no other. I have never totally given myself to anyone like I have given myself to Will, neither of us hold anything back and I think that is our secret. I have learned so much from my relationship with Will and it still amazes me that two men can love each other so completely.
