Brian sat holding the hand of his aunt, Lillian Kinney. Her partner Mave was on the other side of her, running a soothing hand through her hair. Tears ran unchecked down their faces as they spent their final moments with the dying woman they loved. Brian reflected on the years that had passed.

(Flashback)

The first time he’d seen his Aunt Lill was in New York when his father forced him to lie in order to protect his sister. He was seven years old and knew she wanted to take him away from the abuse. That was when Claire and he were close. Not anymore, Claire had hardened towards him when she had been punished for his supposed wrongdoings one too many times. The family had moved to Pittsburgh and now 14-year-old Brian watched from the safety of his aunt's car as Jack and Joan Kinney were handcuffed and led away. By a twist, they would be charged in both New York and Pittsburgh. The PI’s she had hired had evidence on film of the beatings he had taken from his dad. The last was when he had been kicked in his ribs, cracking several, and then shoved over the porch railing. He had been unconscious for an hour, but luckily he’d only had a concussion. Aunt Lill and her life partner Mave were each holding one of his hands when he woke up. They held him as he first cried, then got mad at his parents for not caring. It had taken a while for him to totally trust the two women. He chuckled to himself as he thought of the fact his aunt was a lesbian. Not that he cared. After all, he was a big ho ho ho homo himself. So was his friend Mikey Novotny, and Mikey's mother was one hundred percent behind them. Then his thoughts were pulled back to the present day and he remembered that the cancer his aunt had was genetic and that he carried the gene. Granted the doctor told him it didn’t always hit everybody and when it did it was not always fatal.

(End Flashback)

Looking at Brian, Mave mildly rebuked him. “Don’t dwell on this Brian, you may never get this dreadful disease. Remember, your aunt wants you to live your life to the fullest but also wishes for you to find a love of your own. It’s why she fought to take you away from them when you were fourteen.

She doesn’t want you to close yourself off. You are a good man who is worthy of being loved. She fought hard to live for you and me, Brian. She was determined to see you graduate college and find a good job in advertising. Now it’s time for you to concentrate on being the best homosexual you can be. Establish your reputation as an adman. You have a promising future to look to when you’ll establish your own company. But get a couple of years' experience first.



After the funeral and when Brian and Mave had gotten away from Vic, Mikey, and Deb, they sat on the back patio of the home he now shared with his Aunt Mave. They shared the love seat while looking out at the beautiful yard and pool. Noticing Brian’s teary eyes, she cupped his face in her hands. “Remember what Lill said?”



He nodded his head and replied, “She said 'Miss me but don’t deeply mourn me. There are no more treatments or pain. Remember all the talks we had. Reminisce about the Thanksgiving's and Christmas’s we had. The New Year's Eve we watched the ball drop in New York with our glasses of champagne. The birthdays we celebrated. I lived my life well. I have the love of my life and the son of my heart by my side. I have never thought of you as a nephew. Once I’m gone, this house is yours and Mave’s. Enjoy it and someday you will find a beautiful young man to love. Please promise me you’ll live here with him and fill this house with children. I hand you over to Mave now, she is your Aunt Mave.

Get your checkups, as they WILL catch this dreaded disease IF you get it. But don’t dwell on it and promise not to let that hold you back from loving. PROMISE ME!' I promised her Aunt Mave. I will do my best. You said you are moving to the cottage on the grounds. You know you don’t have to do that, don’t you?”


“Brian, I love you as much as Lill did. You should get used to living here alone and so should I. I’ll never marry again. Brian, just because it isn’t legal means nothing. When, not if, but when, you find your young man, do as we did. Get a legal partnership. I will stay in the house for a month while the cottage gets refurbished. I’ll always be here for you for as long as I can. I promise you that we WILL have some meals together and sit here together often,” Mave says as she gently kisses his cheek and brushes it gently.



Later, after they ate what they could of the food and they had both retired to their rooms, Mave thought about how glad she was Lillian got Brian away from his horrid family. Deb Novotny and Vic Grassi are good people, but Deb's guilt at not having a father for her son is going to be a hindrance for him. He needs to learn to admit his mistakes and take responsibility for them. She remembered when Deb came here blaming Brian for something Mikey did. Lill very firmly told her she was the mother and solely responsible for Mikey and to stop expecting Brian to help her raise him. When Vic came back from New York, she and Lill took Brian on a vacation to Europe for the summer. She encouraged Brian to open up and ask to go places or ask for something not available in the states. After they came back, Brian had pulled away, remaining friends but not letting Mikey cling on to him anymore. He made friends at college and partied with them, but he didn’t want to become a drunk as his dad and mom had. His aunt taught him moderation. Her only vice was the occasional bit of weed.



The next day, the cook brought out a tray of sandwiches with some coleslaw for them with some iced tea. They talked about the flowers and bushes Aunt Mave took care of. Brian was going to take over the vegetable garden, as he found it relaxing. She even taught him how to freeze and can food. They had plenty of money, as he had learned about the stock market from her, and had been given chores he was paid for. Keeping his room clean was his responsibility. They had a gym membership down on Liberty Avenue. He met Mikey, Em, and Ted there on the weekends. While he’d been in school, the school gym kept him in shape. He even kept up with his chores after his internship with Ryder Advertising garnered him a part-time job where he now was a full-time employee.



“I almost forgot Aunt Mave. Justin is coming back to school, he’s going to be in Junior classes.”



“Really? I’m so glad to hear that. How’d he keep up with his studies and accomplish the jump to Junior? Weren’t their bank accounts frozen by that son of a bitch’s attorney?”



“He told me that he found a job at a popular Italian restaurant, Ginos. It has great food and middle to high-class clientele. He got great tips. On weekends he generally got $75 to $100 in tips. His mom finally was approached by a woman lawyer, just graduated, but she was a shark! She produced proof of infidelity and somehow got them to let her see his bank records and she won the defamation of character lawsuits, plus lawsuits for cruelty to Justin for being gay, as well as their mental anguish, he had to sell both electronic stores here in town in order to put the trust funds back, plus he had to repay the money she gave him out of her trust fund. His mom is taking Real Estate classes now and he’s back in school. His father took his mistress and moved to Philadelphia, where his last two stores are.”



“You said a newly graduated lawyer? How did that come about?”



“She was top in her class and Donaldson and Chase hired her. Philippa Chase took her under her wing, but let Melanie take the lead as she had uncovered all the dirt on that dirtbag. Justin told me Ms. Chase said Melanie Marcus will go far if she keeps going the way she’s started.”



Brian goes on about Justin. “He got 1500 on his SAT. He’s a phenomenal artist and really good with graphics. He has also sold some of his paintings and has done a few murals for businesses. He could go big someday in New York, but he tried traveling there some for shows and he can’t stand it. Says he wants to get a job in the art department at an advertising agency.”



“You like this young man a lot, don’t you? What does he look like?” She chuckles at the blush that covers Brian’s face.



“Yes, I do like him. He’s going to be twenty, so he's only three years younger than me. Blond hair, beautiful blue eyes. He's shorter than me at 5’8”, but his body type fits with mine so well. Uhhhh..... Oh, I haven’t mentioned we like similar things as well. Though I could do without Yellow Submarine, but he loves the animation on it.” He peeks at his aunt and blushes at her smile of delight.



“Well, you take your time and let things happen naturally. Be safe. Is he your first boyfriend?”



“Boyfriend! Welllll, I’ll admit he is more than just a friend. But he’s not my first and the others haven’t been serious. Yes, I have been safe, it’s stupidity not to be. They have always tried to be in charge, as if, so that ended things. That’s as far as I’m going. Justin needs to be out of school before we decide anything if we become more or not. He is shooting for a master's in two years as I did. I’m proud of him. I need to check the garden. It will soon be time to turn the mulch into it again and then till and plant the early vegetables.” With another blush, he gives her a kiss on the cheek and hurries off.



Mave sits and thinks of what Brian said about Justin. She’s so thankful that Justin appears to be his own man, like Brian. He knows what he wants and how to go about it. Lill took Brian on some of their business trips to LeClassique in New York. The clothes were made there with the perfume made next door. He saw the polite gentle aunt at times, but she could be loud at times, giving the employees a dressing down when needed. She and Mave had successfully got Brian’s walls torn down after bringing him home. It wasn’t easy, but he now shows how much he cares, instead of hiding it.



______Six days later



Brian wiped the sweat from his face with a hand towel. The mulch had been turned into the soil three days ago and well-watered. The garden had been ready to till. He had planted the early spring vegetables. Kohlrabi, kale, collards, Chinese kale, peas, onions, radishes, spinach, lettuce, and turnips. He had started the cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts in the greenhouse. Also, he had beefsteak, heirloom, cherry, Roma, and grape tomatoes planted there as well. He would plant plenty of heirloom tomatoes, as Aunt Mave loves fried green tomatoes. I swear, he thought, she can eat platefuls of the greasy things. He allowed himself one big one or two small ones. If his college friends could see him now. But he really didn’t care. This was who he was and he wasn’t going to pretend to be what he wasn’t. That made him think he would have to have a talk with Mikey. He was trying to cling again. They had gone to Woody’s and then Babylon, then some of his other college friends had joined them, which had pissed Mikey off. He would go to Deb's on Sunday for dinner. She had even invited Aunt Mave, and he had convinced her to go. It would be good for her. That would be a good time to have that talk. If they were to remain friends, Mikey had to quit clinging. They would never be a couple. Thankfully, Em had forewarned him about Mikey’s continued dreaming. Ted had mentioned it to Em, and Em said he had noticed it and they should tell him. They promised that he wouldn’t lose their friendship that had been established in his freshman year. Em had a degree in business management and Ted in accounting.

“Hey, Beautiful! What’s going on this weekend? Wanna spend some time together? I miss you now that I’m out of college.” Brian rubbed his hardened member through his pants, thinking of his boyfriend.



“Heck yeah, I do! I’ve got no homework, for a change. Wish we could spend all weekend together,” Justin said, grinning as he heard Brian’s breathing speed up. "No fair, are you playing without me?“



“Thinking of you and hearing your voice always gets me hard, Baby. How about you spend the night with me tonight?”



“Sounds good to me, when you want to go? Oh gosh, I’m getting close, Hun.”



“Well, how about I come get you and you come to the house for dinner tonight then we’ll take off. I’m imagining your sweet lips around my dick right now. Feels so good.”



“Let’s finish this first. I part your sexy cheeks and blow on your rosebud, making you shiver. Then I lick and nibble all around it. Then I start stabbing at you with my tongue. My fingers are rubbing your perineum while I hear those sweet sounds you make. So so close. I’m cumming! Cum with me, Baby! Briannn!!”



“Justinnn. So good, Baby. Whew! Let’s get cleaned up and I’ll be right there. Later.”





Brian got out of his car and saw Justin come running out the door. He opened his arms wide and Justin ran into them, wrapping his legs around Brian’s waist. He peppered his face with kisses.



“You, Justin Cole Taylor are going to meet my Aunt Mave.”



“Are you going to show me your garden too?” He asked, as Brian simply held him in a hug.



“I’m going to show you everything, and if you’re really good, maybe even my bedroom.”



Justin reached down and opened the jeep door and Brian let him down into the seat.



“Justin, I know you’d like to see my loft, but that was where I took my tricks. You are sooooo NOT a trick. You are special to me. We’ve had an open relationship, as we agreed. Granted you are twenty now, but you can continue that if you want.”



“Brian, I have hung out with guys and I know at the beginning when we first met I told you I would only bottom for that special guy. I’ve topped since I was sixteen. I no longer need an open relationship, but I’ll...”





Brian put two fingers on Justin’s lips and then leaned over to kiss him tenderly. “I’ve sowed all the wild oats I need to Justin. I want to show you a certain room when we get home.” Justin smiled a big sunshine smile at Brian’s words. They drove off with Justin’s hand on Brian’s shoulder.

5.

Deb was pacing back and forth in her house. Finally, Vic had had enough.

"Deb! What is going on? What has got you in a stew?" He takes her arm and makes her sit at the table.

"I called Danny and asked him to come to Pittsburgh. Mike needs him, but I don't know if he will be up to it. I may have made a mistake." A tear slipped down her cheek.

"You better forewarn Mike. On second thought, I'll talk to him. Adopting that fallen soldier was a bad idea. But I know you panicked. I'll catch him at the diner. Don't worry. It will be fine."

"Hey, Mikey! I want to talk to you. In private please." As Ted and Emmett have walked up.

"You remember when you found your maw's yearbook? It has a picture that looks just like you? Danny Devore, the well-known drag Queen?"

"Yeah? So what about it?" He asked warily.

"Son, Lt. Novotny was not your father. Danny Devore is."

"I KNEW IT! SHE LIED TO ME!" He starts to storm off.

Vic grabs his arms." SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP! Listen to me. Are you listening?"

"Why should I?" He is in full pout. Teary eyes, arms crossed, and bottom lip out.

"Danny decided he wanted to become a drag Queen. When he left your mother, he didn't know she was pregnant. So she left and ended up settling here. I came to help her, after being thrown out because I was gay. She was reading a list in the paper of fallen soldiers and came up with the idea of using one of them as your father. Lt. Novotny had no family, so she took his name legally. She thinks, and I agree with her, that you could benefit from getting to know Danny now. She called him and he called back and said he'd love to meet you. Are you willing to meet him? Spend some time with him? He's coming today."

"I guess so. I'm not a kid anymore... but, I guess no one is too old to need a father. I'll give it a shot." Vic pats Michael on the shoulder and tells him he'll call and tell him when Danny has arrived so they can meet.

Michael walked into his maw's house feeling very nervous about meeting the man who is his biological father. He looked at the man sitting there and had to admit that there was a great deal of resemblance between the two of them. He kissed his maw and the cheek and gave Uncle Vic a hug.

"Mike, this is your father," Vic made the introductions. "Why don't you take the plates and such out to the picnic table. Daniel, you could join him? It will give you both a chance to talk."

The two went out, got the table set, and sat down and began to talk. Danny apologized for not keeping in touch with Deb when they were younger.

"Obviously, my parents wouldn't and didn't accept me as a gay man, but I left after I finally admitted to myself that I was. It took sleeping with your mother to make that happen. She was a loving person and I loved her very much. But we were friends and companions. We hung together a lot. Neither of us noticed a tear in the condom although it could have simply leaked. I would have contacted her if I had noticed that." He spoke with honesty about what had happened. Michael had to admit he liked him.

The two continued to talk and his dad told him what was involved in being a drag queen. He told him he enjoyed it and loved to hear the applause and cheers.

Michael and Danny spent every moment they could together. At the end of the week, everyone gathered on Sunday for dinner, even Brian and Justin. After dinner and the dishes were done, Michael made an announcement.

"Hey everyone, I've got something to tell you. I'm going on the road with my father. We feel we'd like to establish a closer relationship. Maw, I love you and will miss you. I'll keep in touch, okay? We will be leaving in the morning. Dad has a show to prepare for." The gasps were heard from several people.

"Oh honey, I'm so happy for you," Emmett said with tears running down his face.

Debbie was stunned. She knew Michael needed to get to know Danny, but she never expected him to leave with him. She grabbed Michael in one of her bear hugs. Vic sat with a smile on his face, Debbie was never a bad mother, but he felt this was something Michael should do. He hoped he would return more grown-up. Plus he hoped Deb would get a life for herself.

------- The next morning

"Deb, I'll take care of him. I think he's considering joining me on stage. We'll do a duet together and yes, I'll get pictures. I've had a good life as a drag queen. I've not made a fortune, but once I got going, I have never gone without. Hopefully, I can send him back with more confidence." Giving her a kiss and extracting Michael from her grip, the two men left.

------- A few days later

Vic comes in and finds Deb pacing, cooking, and crying her eyes out.

"Sis? Other than missing Mike, is something else wrong? You know he's all right. They'd call if he wasn't."

"I never dreamed I'd miss him so much. I tried to call, but got no answer." She collapsed into Vic's arms.

Just then the phone rang and she grabbed it up.

"Hello? Michael! Are you okay?" Relief flooded her face.

"I'm great, Ma! Dad and I are preparing for a show together. His agent is going to take pictures. We'll text them to you. How's everyone doing?"

"We miss you so much, but we're glad you're having fun with your dad."

------

Meanwhile, Brian and Justin got done with evening chores, had a shower together, and did any work/school work they had. Justin painted while Brian finished up his notes on a campaign presentation. They checked in on Mave and told her goodnight then snuggled up in bed for the evening news. Justin slithered down beneath the covers leaving a trail of nips, licks, and sucks until he reached his main goal. Once he started applying his sole attention on Brian's dick, the news was forgotten about.

------

Three months Justin sat at Ryder's waiting to be interviewed for the intern job in the art department. His name was called and he went to talk to Murphy Phillips, the director. After looking at his school records and his artwork, especially his graphic artwork, Murphy asked him about his reason for the online studies. Justin openly told what happened and how he worked to help his family and also pay for his studies. Murphy knew he couldn't do better than Justin. His work ethic and intelligence, plus his talent were just what the art department needed. Justin was sent to HR to finish up the hiring process and started to leave for home as he had scheduled his meeting for after classes.

"Justin! Wait up!" Brian called after him. At Justin's pause, Brian hurried up to him, but could already tell by the big, beautiful smile he had gotten the position. "You got it! Didn't you?"

"Yes, I did! Everything I did when our bank accounts were frozen, plus my artwork in graphics, helped me to gain the position."

Brian grabbed Justin and kissed and hugged him, then suggested they go to the diner for dinner as Mave was out of town. Getting to the diner they took the usual back seat quickly joined by Emmett and Ted. They congratulated Justin on getting the job. Later they went to Woody's and played a few games of pool. They returned home very tired but happy. They got in the shower where Brian washed Justin paying close attention to his ass. He opened him up and in one slow steady push, fully encased his dick in his ass. He started out slowly, then began to thrust harder and faster. Justin's hips pushed back meeting each thrust. He adjusted his aim to hit Justin's bundle of nerves, their moans getting louder the closer they came. "Now baby! Nowwww!" Justin then soaped Brian's gorgeous body and then made love to him in return. First, he rimmed him to open him up for his generous-sized dick. He had Brin turn on his back to be able to watch his eyes and the expressions on his face. He loved to speed up then slow back down, bringing him to the brink of cumming then easing him back down.

"Justinnn! Please! I can't take much more!" Brian pleaded.

"Then cum with me, sweetheart. Cum NOWW!"

------

That weekend they also went to Babylon to dance as it was much more fun without Michael there to glare and snipe at Justin and to insist Brian should be the stud again.

Life went on for the four friends. Many a night they met at one of their homes to enjoy each other's company. After Michel had been gone for six months with his dad, Deb finally got the pictures of Michael performing. She was shocked at what a pretty woman he made. She had the family come to dinner and shared the pictures with them. A part of her wanted him to come home and found herself spending more time at Woody's with the boys.

Suddenly packages began to appear sent to Michael from various auction sites. On opening some of them she found superhero collectibles. She never dreamed Michael would make enough to buy so many of them. Was he suddenly saving enough of his money to get them? She'd have to ask him next time she talked to him.

TBC

                          YOU ARE LOVED

—6–

        Danny Devore left the bank not believing what he found out. He had let Mike have a debit card to be able to get necessities and some comics to entertain himself with. Instead Mike had spent money on comic collectibles and the account was close to being empty. There was just one thing to do about this. He went to a lawyer and told him about it, he didn’t want to file charges yet. He had witnesses at the bank who would testify that he had not given permission for Mike to buy collectibles, so he could demand Mike sell the collectibles.  In fact Danny had limited him to spending $100 a week, which he felt was more than enough. They were going to be working in Danny’s home area of New York for the next month.  Mike was taken to the lawyers office and an ultimatum was given to him. Have Debbie sell the items and replace as much money as he could, then work in drag to replace the remainder or be put in jail. Yes, it might take years, but Danny felt he had to be made to take responsibility for what he did. Once they had went before the judge, a paper was sent to Debbie and Vic.  

               Debbie’s door went and Vic  went to answer it. He opened the registered letter as it was addressed to both of them. 

               “ Oh my God! Michael Charles what have you done?” This was more serious than simply selling those infernal toys to replace what money they could for Mike. He could end up in jail. There were witnesses to what Danny had arranged for Mike. Vic got the many boxes that had been sent to them and going online he began to make a list of what each one was and how much it was worth. He called Ted and told him what happened and Ted said to continue making his list. On Saturday he would be there to try to figure out what to sell the collectibles for. Ted went to Emmetts that night and the two found a couple of names to contact for advice as to selling prices.  After talking to the men, he called Vic and asked if there was a record of what was spent for each item. Upon talking to Danny, Danny asked his lawyer how to handle things. The bank went over their records and, leaving the account number off , they sent the records to Debbie and Vic’s. Ted sat down with one of the collectors and they added up the amounts. Ted spent a month selling all the collectibles. When everything was sold Mike still owed $12,895. Brian bought two first class tickets for Debbie and Vic to travel to See Michael and provided a lawyer to handle the transfer of funds back to Danny. Mike’s card was destroyed and he knew he had to do all the shows he could to finish repaying his father. He apologized to him for doing what he did, not expecting forgiveness for what he did. He mentioned going back home and working at the Big Q again, but after having a heart to heart with Vic he knew he couldn’t trust himself to do the right thing. His dream world hobby had turned into a nightmare. Tears ran down his face as he resigned himself to seldom seeing his maw and Uncle and his friends. 

            As the months went by, Danny treated him okay and there were times he treated him to a new marvel movie. No one on the drag circuit but he and his father knew what he did and he continued to be a part of the shows and parties. Michael’s youth was a big plus in his gaining more shows to perform at. 

              Michael realized it was gonna take a long time to pay his debt off. He was lonely and sat and sulked a lot. Danny was well liked and his fellow drag queens were nice to Michael but he hadn’t bonded with anyone. He still hadn’t realized he had to take responsibility for his actions and grow up finally.

___________________ time passes...

                  After discussing it, Brian and Justin remodeled the loft. They used a stone and wood mix on the pillars and the beams across the ceiling were weathered wood. The island and cabinets were all made of the  same thing. Justin used a computer program to check out the beds and they settled for a low to the floor bed  but not a platform as before. All the furniture was  French country in style. 

                    Justin’s mom and sister with Brian and  Aunt Mave  watch as Justin receives his college diploma. Emmett and Ted were there as well as Deb and Vic.  He was top in his class and Brian was so proud of him. He was now a full time employee at Ryder’s having worked part time after the internship.  There was a big bash at the country club to celebrate after the ceremony.  Brian made some important client connections while there. He had met the CEO of AT&T, plus Allegheny Ford’s CEO had the visiting company president with him and he was very interested in a new ad campaign. Brian and Justin took the time to speak privately with the two men and a meeting was to be scheduled on Monday. 

                     That night there was a big celebration at Babylon. Brandon Greene was the reigning stud of Liberty Avenue, but Brian and Justin were known as the royal couple. All eyes were trained on them when they were dancing in Babylon and there was plenty of action in the backroom. There were free drinks for the night. As a surprise Justin was placed in a chair on stage. Go go boys came out and started gyrating and then Brian came out in break apart pants and a tee he tore in two taking off. He danced in a circle around Justin. His hips swiveling and popping forward seductively. Though pink faced, Justin had a big grin and sported a definite hard on. He pulled Brian to straddle him and buried his face into Brian’s hardened package. Then turning around Brian hovered just above his lap and wiggled his ass in his face, receiving a nip on both cheeks.  It ended with Brian pulling Justin up and leaning Justin over their lips plastered together.  The crowd went wild.   About midnight they went to the loft where Justin rewarded Brian’s performance. 

             “Where did you learn to dance like that?” Justin asked Lying on top of  Brian. 

               “Emmett gave me an instruction tape. He critiqued my performance, but I told him there was no fucking way I was straddling and hunching him.”  Brian grimaced, but laughed along with Justin. 

                “Well I loved my sexy studs performance. I’m still hard from it.” His hands strayed to Brian’s ass. 

                 “Behave yourself. You gave me a pounding Jus. My ass is gonna  let me know about it. But I loved it.” He pulled Justin down in a kiss, then flipped him over and proceeded to reciprocate with the pounding. Later they spooned and fell into a deep sleep. 

                   The next mornings shower had cream applied to ease the tenderness from the prior nights play.  Brian checked in with Mave and she decided to go to the diner as well. With Deb working, she’d hopefully have a nice chat with her. The boys entered the diner and found Em and Ted waiting for them. Brian sat down carefully scowling at the smirks he saw on their faces.Justin bumped his shoulder and they touched foreheads and Justin nipped Brian’s chin. Deb came over to get their orders raising her eyebrow at Brian. 

                    Mave came in just in time to hear Brian say, “ Christ, you guys. He was very horny and rampant. Okay?” He blushed. Then jumped when Mave touched his head. Her eyes twinkled with merriment as she gave him a kiss. 

                  Deb came out from the back neatening herself and saw her.

 “ Sweetie let’s you and I have a cup of tea. I placed your order in as well as mine. How have you been?” The two sat down towards the front and began to chat. 

    :               Oh Lordy fellas! After you two left Drew Boyd came in!” Seeing Justin’s blank stare. He shook his head. “ Honey he just got drafted to play with the Ironmen. He’s a tall hunk of a man and he blessed me with his company last night. He is definitely all man too. I took him back to my place. He couldn’t join me today because of practice. I’ll be seeing him in my dreams for a long time.” He fanned himself and sipped his coffee. Then started fiddling with his phone. A big grin spread across his face and his eyes twinkled with mischief. 

             “Honeycutt? What you up to?” Brian asked. 

             “ Don’t call me Honeycutt! I just sent Mike pictures and a video of your lap dance.”

               “Emmett, if he heads for here he’s gonna end up in jail!” Ted said.  

                “ Shit!” Deb exclaimed. “Ill give Danny a heads up to watch him.”

                  “I’m going to visit Blake today. He’s sticking with his rehab this time, but if he slips again it’s over.” Ted sighed and his thoughts drifted as he thought of the man he wants to make his life with. “ I’d better get going. It’s a bit of a drive. Later you guys.”

__________In Miami Beach

                Mike and Danny came into the motor home after having breakfast with the club owners. Danny frowned as he read Debs message. 

            “Thank God! My phone is here on the table.” Mike exclaimed. Grabbing it and checking the messages. He seldom got any from back home except from his maw but Emmett had sent some. His eyes bugged out as he looked at the pictures, but when the video came on, he threw a fit. 

             “What the fuck did he think he was doing? He’s supposed to become the next stud! Not give lap dances to the damn big ass blonde.”

              “Michael! His name is Justin! He has a nice sized bubble butt to be proud of. Your mom said he graduated college and that was part of his party at Babylon.” He paused while he watched the video. “Damn! Brian can really put on a show! I bet he was well rewarded later. You might as well simmer down and put that suitcase up! You aren’t going to the Pitts to protect your nonexistent relationship. I saw the two together at the dinner. They are it for each other. Accept it! Anyway you still owe quite a bit of money to me.” 

                Mike pouted the rest of the day trying to figure out how to get back home to talk sense to Brian. But realized it wasn’t happening when Danny said “I’m not buying plane tickets to visit the Pitts. Anyway, you have shows to do.”

                     YOU ARE LOVED

7.

Brain bleach warning!

              Mike still couldn’t believe that he wasn’t allowed to leave and go home for a visit. Brian had to be high to dance like that. Ain’t no fucking way he’d do that otherwise. He just knew the time would come that the fat ass would be out and he could be with Brian. He laid back and pleasured himself as he dreamed of the two of them together. Brian making gentle love with him.  Who knows, maybe he’d let him top once. Oh yesssssssssss. AHHHHH! 

                 Meanwhile back in Pittsburgh it had been a very stressful day for Brian and Justin. Clients were being stubborn and the art departments work was for shit. Thus when they got home, tempers were short. 

                  “THE ART DEPARTMENT’S WORK WAS FOR SHIT TODAY!” Brian yelled at Justin.

                   “Well considering I’m not the director and I didn’t work on your clients work it’s NOT MY FAULT! DONT YELL AT ME ABOUT IT!” Justin slammed out the back and went to the garden. He grabbed a hoe and began weeding.

                      Mave came into the kitchen to Brian slamming the oven door shut after putting dinner in it. 

                       “Calm your ass down and go save the garden!  Justin is hoeing and he’s already got three tomato plants! Why are you yelling at him for something he didn’t do?” She grabs Brian to keep him from storming out.

                       “I WASN’T YELLING!” He said. 

                        “Yes you damn well were! You sound like Lillian when she went on a tear. Settle down! Deep breaths.” She watched his face go back to its natural color.” That’s better. Now go apologize....Oh yes you will....stop his hoeing! Git!” She watches him go out the door with her hands on her hips. 

                       She catches a glimpse of the horror on Brian’s face as he looks at the garden. He quickly hurries up to Justin and takes the hoe away from him. Justin makes a grab for it, but Brian’s long arms keeps it out of his reach. Then, it’s Justin’s turn to look horrified as he finally focuses on the damages to the tomatoes. They stand talking for several minutes and then take each other in a hug and tentative kisses begin. 

                       In the time it took for the two to calm, Mave had seen Deb at the door and waved her in. 

                     “What the fuck happened to those plants Mave? Or do I want to know?”  Both women stood looking at the ruined plants from the door. 

                 “ Bad day at work.. for both of them. Tempers clashed. But I got him settled and he took the hoe away from Justin. But, I’d rather they vent their frustrations at home instead of work. Justin told me he sees things done wrong in the art department, but they ignore him. It frustrates him.” She sees the two head for the greenhouse.” DONT FUCK IN THERE! YOU’LL BREAK MORE PLANTS.” Justin’s head swivels to look at Mave and he hides his face in Brian’s shoulder as Brian laughs. 

                     “I heard their bellowing out in my flower garden. Yes, they were that loud. They are both headstrong, independent men. But they generally settle their differences themselves. Lill and I were together for thirty years yet we fought something fierce at times. Let me put the kettle on for tea. I look forward to the day Brian has his own agency. Mr. Ryder keeps Brian’s hands tied.” 

              Deb cackles and sits at the table while Mave prepares their tea and scones. 

                “Vic and I have had some doozies. It’s human nature. Clears the air. I think it’s healthier for you.”

                 “Brian hon, what are you doing?” He asked watching him load the cart with more tomato plants than were needed. 

                 Making room! You mad is soo hot. Even if you WERE mad at my Queen out. I’ve got to have you.” He finishes and starts to stalk Justin. Justin tries to dart out the door, but Brian deftly pulls him back in pushing the cart of plants out the door.

                   “I need to be able to walk. You have that look Bri. I love it rampant but need to be able to walk normally at work. Eeeeee!”

                    Justin finds himself stripped of pants and on his back, legs over Brian’s shoulders. “You’ll be able to walk. You get to have at me next.”

                      Sitting on the patio, the two women see Justin fly out the door only to be pulled back in. Mave gets up, but sits back down when the cart comes outside. 

                       “What the fuck was that about Mave?” Deb asks. 

                          Shaking her head as her hands briefly cover her face Mave mutters. “ Figures Brian thinks mad is hot. Least the cart is outside so he cleared a spot. Hopefully they will keep it down.” 

                           They burst out laughing when Brian was the one they heard exclaim after awhile. After about fifteen minutes the two came outside. When the boys saw the two women still outside, Brian blushing started back inside but Justin stopped him. 

                         “It’s just Deb and Mave. Let’s get these plants in the ground.”

                         The day was rounded out by a nice roast with carrots onions and celery. With a spice cake for dessert. Then Brian and Justin gave Deb a ride home and stopped in Woodys for a quick game of pool with Em and Ted. Later at home they had a quick shower with mutual blowjobs and settled down to sleep.
