Chapter 11

Shelby woke up on Friday morning and could tell her fever was finally completely gone.  She still was coughing and tried to stifle it so Gus could sleep. He refused the last few days to sleep anywhere else.  She didn’t deserve a man as good as him. She snuggled up to her wonderful guy. “Good morning, Gussy.” She hated waking him up but she knew he had a meeting this morning with the architect.  Gus groaned at her. “Are you telling me you don’t want to wake up?” She walked her fingers down his body with a target in mind. “Well, look what I found. Someone is awake. Gus’ morning hardon quivered as her fingers gently held him. She coughed as she slid down his body.

“Shelly, you don’t have to.”

“Oh, but I need you.”

“Well, let me do it right.” Gus rolled her on her back and concentrating on kissing her neck.  He was very gentle, not wanting to make her cough and he entered her slowly. Her arms went around his neck and she whimpered as he brought her higher and higher and as she felt her body melt as he filled her. She clung to him and then she slid back onto the mattress.  

“I love you, Gussy.   You go shower and I will,” she started coughing.  He kissed her forehead and went into the bathroom.  Ten minutes later Gus strode out of the bathroom naked and found Shelby on the phone.

“Mom, really, you don’t have to come.  I am almost all better now. It was just a little infection.” Gus listened on,.  “Mom, I know it has been a long time.” Silence. “Yes, I know you haven’t met him.” Silence.  “Yes, we live together,” Silence.“No, I am not embarrassed by him. He is the most wonderful man in the world.” Silence. “I miss you, too, Mom.” Silence. “Ok, ok, I’ll see you tomorrow. Mom,” she took a big breath, “we have plenty of room for you. Love you, Mom.”

“Well, it sounds like we are getting company.” Gus hugged her.  “We have to meet sometime. Do you really think it is going to be that bad?”

“It is only going to be my mom. Daddy has a hunting trip planned with my brothers. I love them but I am going to spend my life with you so if they don’t like you or  your family, that is their problem. Maybe having Mom meet you first is good. She is going to love you as much as I do. I know she is.”

“But my dads and moms?”

“As long as Brian stays charming, she is going to like them.  I am just afraid she might tell them she thinks they are living life wrong.  She will be polite and my mom is very genuine.”

“I will talk to my dads when they arrive home today. And send me a grocery list later today and I will pick up what you want in the house.  Anything you need, I will pick it up.” He kissed her. “Got to go. I love you.”

“I love you too, Gussy.” She ran her hand through his shaggy mane of curls.

“I know, I’ll try to get it cut today.”

“Not too short,” she called as he left.  “I love your curls.” She started coughing but still smiled.  Moments later her phone rang. “Hey, Molly, what are you up to today?”

“I was checking on how you were, but I can tell from your voice that you are feeling better.”

“Yes, and no.  Are you heading into town this morning or do you have time for a cup of coffee?”

“We will be there in about half an hour?”

“See you then, Mol.”  Shelby put on a thick robe and slippers and went downstairs.  She found one of those tubes of cinnamon rolls and put them in the oven.  It had only been a couple days since she had seen Paul but she missed him. That little guy just made her more anxious for one of her own.

Shelby was just putting frosting on the rolls when Molly walked in with Paul in her arms. “Sheshe!” Paul reached for her.  Tears swelled in her eyes.

“Paul, can you show Shelby what you learned?”

“What did you learn, sweety?”

Molly set Paul down on the floor and he walked over to her all by himself.  Shelby picked him up and snuggled him. “Oh what a big boy you are!”

“I can’t believe he turns one in a couple days. It has been a crazy, amazing year. And of course ‘Grandma’ will be here to spoil him next weekend. Maybe she will give us a night or two alone!”

Shelby laughed but then got serious,  “Are you really moving the next couple days?”

“We are. I will miss being so close to you but I can’t wait to get more space.  I love my son but when I looked up in the middle of….well, you know, and he was looking at us….”

Shelby started laughing.  “I doubt it stopped Tyler.”

Molly sighed, “I love that man.  He drives me crazy sometimes but he is just amazing. We have even been getting a little more adventurous which is very difficult with a crib a foot from your bed.”

“What kind of adventurous?”  Shelby’s eyes lit up.

“You are feeling better,” Molly smiled.  We are nothing like you and Gus but at least I now know there is more than one position. Once we get all settled and the wine bar is open I hope we will see each other on the weekends anyway and you can always take Brinn on trips to the library and have lunch with us.  I am going to have to start looking into finding a babysitter. At least I hope we get busy enough for that. I know Gus will be but I hope people want help inside the structure, too.”

“Molly, you did such an amazing job with our place.  Use it for your portfolio. Make a powerpoint. Make a brochure. Between you and Justin I know you could take great artistic pictures.”

“That is a great idea.  Once we get moved I will talk to Justin.  I hope they had a good time in New York. I have felt sorry for them.  I know they love each other so much but they also love the physical act and it has been really hard on both of them the last couple weeks. I would guess they have come up with alternatives.”  Molly smiled. “Not that I think about what my brother does in his sex life.”

“Face it, we have both seen Justin’s paintings and he didn’t leave much to the imagination.”

“After seeing those, I had to admit my brother was pretty hot. I really wish in some ways I would have been more adventurous when I was younger.  I would have never married my ex but then I wouldn’t have Paul and I would never change that. He is my heart.”

“He owns a part of mine too.  I love that little guy.” You know if the two of you need some time away we will watch him.  We will be moving the one from the cottage into our place since I heard you were getting another one.  That way if you ever visit or we have other company with a baby we are ready.”

“Or when you decide to have your own?”

“I hope we do.,” Shelby’s mind drifted off. “I hope soon.”

Molly and Paul left so Shelby could take a nap.  She had to admit she was very excited to see her mom but she was nervous, too.  She wasn’t sure if she should tell her mom before she met Brian and Justin or if she should let her figure it out for herself.  Closing her eyes, Shelby drifted off on the couch.

Gus finished his meeting with the architect and as he was leaving he ran into Dan.  “Hey, Dan, do you have a lunch date?”

“Don’t I wish.  Red won’t be seen in public yet and his mom is coming to town.”

“Let’s go get lunch at the diner.  I’m meeting my future mother in law tomorrow.  It sounds like we can both use some support,” Gus smiled, “I was heading to Dad’s office when I realize they aren’t back yet. I could use some advice.”

Gus and Dan found a booth and ordered burgers and fries.  “So you are meeting the mother in law. Is there a father in law?”

“There is.  He is going hunting with his sons this weekend which in itself makes me nervous.” Dan had to laugh at the adorable young man.

“I can’t imagine anyone having trouble with you dating their daughter, or marrying their daughter.  I mean you are an up and coming contractor who does an amazing work. You treat Shelby like a queen and you aren’t totally horrible to look at,” he winked at Gus.  

“Thanks, Dan.  It isn’t really me I am worried about.”

“Gus, you come from one of the most respected families in the area, even if it has only been a couple years and your dads…”  Dan noticed Gus cringe. “Oh, I take it they are homophobic or at least have an issue with that?”

“Yes, Shelby thinks her mom might just keep quiet while she is here but she knows her dad will blow a gasket when he hears.  Do you think Dad would dress up like Nathan Lane in ‘The Birdcage’?”

Dan choked on a French fry as he laughed.  “Oh, I want to come over if you manage that.  Justin would be damn hot in a dress and heels.”

“Dad is good looking no matter what he does.”

“Shelby’s mom should  swoon just seeing your dads,” Dan noticed Gus’ look.  “I am sorry. This is serious, I know.”

“I’m most worried about Pops.  You know how he can get when someone has a problem with people not accepting him.  He just can’t let that go and if he says something wrong and Shelby’s mom goes home to her husband, who has a gun remember, I am just afraid Shelby will get hurt.”

“I would give your dads a heads up.  Is Brian back to working fully?”

“Dan, I really don’t want to know everything about my dads.”

“Have Justin talk to Brian and then threaten him if need be. And if you ever seriously feel in danger you call me.  I know Tyler and Molly are moving this weekend, I guess Red and I are helping them move.”

“That’s right! I can spend part of the day using that as an excuse,” he smiled. “I should say I will give them time to spend alone. Shelby has been sick so it will be nice if her mom comes. So, Red has a mom?” He laughed a little.

“Yes and his mom is a politician who wants to go to congress on the conservative ticket.”

“Ooo that is better than mine. Maybe Shelby’s parents can vote for his mom.”

Dan and Gus had just decided to order ice cream when Marcus walked in.  “Hey, Marcus, why don’t you join us?” Gus called to him. He came over and sat next to Gus.

“I am actually just picking up lunch.  It should be ready in a minute or two.”

“Well, glad you could join us for a few minutes anyway. I hear your mom is visiting this weekend.” Dan couldn’t stop looking at Marcus.  

“Yes, she is.”

“Shelby’s mom is coming this weekend, too.  Guess we are both in for an interesting weekend.  “When is yours arriving?”

“She should be in tonight about 6:00, just in time for dinner.” The server brought Marcus a bag as she set down two dishes of ice cream.  

“Marcus, I’ll put that on your tab.  I through in a cookie. I thought someone as sweet as you could use a little dessert.” Marcus was oblivious to the flirting. He could only see Dan.

“Oh,” he snapped out of his trance. “I need to get going.  Nice catching up.” Marcus said as he walked away.

“Gus, it is killing me.  I just want to kiss him and let the world know he is mine.”

“Maybe after this weekend he will be free to do whatever you damn well please.  Next weekend I better see the two of you grinding.”

“I hope we are, Gus, I  can’t do this hiding thing too long.  Thank god, his mom is staying at the hotel and not at his place. Maybe I will be able to at least steal a kiss or two. Thanks for lunch, Gus.  I better get a little work done. What are you up to this afternoon?”

“Well, I actually just got the plans approved for your house.  The architect signed off but since it is Friday afternoon and I have a future mother in law to impress, I am going to get a haircut and then pick up the groceries Shelby needs. Poor baby has been too sick to do anything.  Dan, I am sure if you need a distraction this weekend you are welcome up at the vineyard.”

“Thanks, Gus, I will remember that.”

Dan and Gus hugged and kissed as they went their own ways.

Molly and  Paul had arrived at the new apartment.  She placed him in his bedroom. The furniture wasn’t there yet but there was a rug on the floor and Molly shut the half door they put in there so he would be safe and she could still see him. She had a couple last minute things that needed to be checked. The last of the painting had gotten finished.  She checked the master and the room was perfect. She could picture the furniture and then she pictured Tyler coming out of the shower. She closed her eyes and could almost smell his aftershave and then she could feel his arms.

“Where were you?” Tyler kissed her neck.

She turned to him. “I was daydreaming about the fun we are going to have in this room.  I was picturing you naked.”

“Well, we can do better than picture, can’t we?” Tyler tugged her top over her head. His mouth descended on the top of her breasts.  His tongue dipped between them. She undid her fly and let her jeans drop to the floor. As he continued to kiss her she undid his pants. As his pants fell, she jumped and wrapped her legs around his waist.  He stumbled with his jeans still around his ankles but got them to the wall and he pressed her against the wall over and over as he thrust into her. “Taylor, what the hell do you do to me? You put a spell on me and I can’t get enough of you.”

Molly cried out as her body gave into the pleasure he gave her.  He roared and came within her. He leaned against the wall still surrounded by her warmth. “Tyler, my god, I….I….I can’t put my feelings in words. She crushed his mouth with hers.

“Mamamamama!”

Tyler and Molly pressed their foreheads together and started laughing.  He gently set her down on the floor. “You get dressed,” He said as he did his fly.  “I’ll get the little man.”

Molly listened to Tyler talk to their son. “Hey, big guy.  Thanks for giving Mom and me a few minutes. We really needed a few minutes together.” Paul jabbered at him.  “I know she is smoking hot, and yes, I am a very lucky man and so are you.”

Molly walked in, “Are you two ready to go spend our last night in the cottage?”

“I am ready to have dinner, put this little guy to bed and then maybe we can teach this guy a few more things, one last time. I have an itch I wouldn’t mind getting scratched again.”

“Oh, really? I think I would enjoy obliging.”

The plane landed on time and the Taylor-Kinney’s were on their way to the vineyard. Brian and Justin had managed to convince Brinn they needed a nap and left her watching a movie while they ‘rested’. They drove up to the vineyard just as Gus pulled up behind them.

“Hey, welcome home. How was the Big Apple, Miss Thing?”  He swung Brinn off the ground in a circle.

“It was great.  Is Shelby feeling better?”

“She is.  I stopped to tell you that Shelby’s mom is coming for a visit tomorrow.” Brinn took her bag and walked toward her room, not interested in the conversation.  

“Oh, it will be great to meet her,” Justin said as he kissed Gus’ cheek.

“Dads, we need to talk.”

“This sounds serious.” Justin said.

“Do you have a minute to sit?”

“Sure, Gus,” Brian sounded a little concerned.

The three men sat on the front porch.  “Dads I know how to say this. Pops, I know Dad can deal with this but I know this is harder for you.  Shelby’s family are very religious.”

“I won’t hold that against them,” Brian said.

“Pops, they don’t understand that two men can love each other.”

“You mean they think two men shouldn’t fuck!” Brian started standing up but Justin pulled him back down.  

“Brian, be quiet. Gus, what does Shelby want us to do?”

“She wants the two of you to be yourselves but I want you to behave.  I know you love each other and we all know you two …..just please, don’t show too much affection when she is around. It’s only for a couple days.”

“Gus, we will do anything for Shelby,” Justin squeezed Gus’ hand.  Gus looked at Brian, “Pops, please?”

“Gus, I don’t agree with it but I will do it for family and Shelby is family. But if the woman makes any direct dig I cannot be responsible for what comes out of my mouth….no that’s not true I will be responsible and I will make things very clear.”

“I don’t plan to have her spend much time at this house.  Why don’t you come for lunch Sunday. The ‘in laws’ can meet at a table and then you can leave if you want to or need to.”

“We will be on our best behavior.” Justin smiled at Gus.  “She’s going to love you.”

“Thanks, Dad. I better get going. Shelby was feeling better this morning but I am sure she gets lonely all day there alone.”

Justin looked at Brian after Gus left.  “Thank you for agreeing to try this. Shelby says they are very nice people and her mom is very sweet. She has just been very sheltered and doesn’t understand.  She just needs to be shown that we have a loving family like any other family.”

“I got the idea and right now,” One of Brian’s arms went around Justin’s shoulders while the other hand went to his lap. “The loving part I would like to explore right now.”

“This is exactly what you need to NOT do when we are with her here….but far be it from me to stop love right now”.  He turned into Brian and put his arms around his neck.

Gus arrived home and smelled something cooking and saw Shelby in the kitchen. He walked up behind her and kissed her neck.  “How are you Shelly? Are you feeling better?”

She turned and kissed him, “I am getting there.  Still coughing but I can breath through my nose again and I haven’t had a fever all day.”

“I’m glad for a multitude of reasons.” He pulled her tightly against him. “I have missed touching you like this.”

“Gus, it has only been three days.” She laughed, “And a hug and kiss in front of my mom is fine but….”

“I know, I know. And my dads gave me their word they would behave.  And Pops called you family.”

Shelby’s eyes filled with tears.  “Really?”

“Really.  Unless your mom gets aggressive he will be fine. What smells so good?”

“Nothing I made.  It was one of the frozen meals Mary gave me.”

“Mary is a life saver for all of us.  I am glad my dads have that deal set up with her.  I am sure they pay her well so we can eat well. Now, you sit down and I will finish getting the meal if it’s ready.”

“It is but you have worked all day and…”

“I took it easy today. Dan’s house got approved and I had lunch with him. Then I got my haircut, the groceries, and then talked to my dads.”

“I love your hair.  It is a nice trim. It left the curls.” She stood and walked to him, running her fingers through his hair. “Gus, that will wait. We haven’t christened  the kitchen appropriately, yet, have we?”

“Oh, I think you are definitely right about that.” Gus picked her up and set her on the counter.  She was wearing a loose T shirt and a pair of yoga pants. He reached for the waistband and she raised her butt so he could take them off.  He slid them all the way down and threw them to the side. He then pulled the shirt off and lowered his mouth to her breast. His mouth then traveled lower and before she knew what was happening she was laying down and Gus had yanked her to the edge and gently spread her knees.  Gus buried his face as deeply into her as he could.

As Shelby’s body heated up, she started coughing. Gus stopped and helped her sit up. “FInish, please, Gussy, please.”  He quickly undid his pants and he slipped into her. They rocked together for only a couple moments before they both shuttered and clung to each other.  Shelby continued to cough.

“I’m sorry, Shelly.”

“I asked for it and trust me, anytime you love me it is worth it. If this was the appetizer, can’t wait to see what dessert will be.”

“Real food first.  Then we will see.” Gus set the food on the table while Shelby redressed and sat down. “You need to get stronger after being sick.”  He served her first and then himself and as they ate, Shelby couldn’t imagine how you could love another person any more than she loved Gus.

“You know Shelly, I can stay at the cottage while your mom is here. I mean I know she doesn’t approve of us living together so if that is a problem…”

“Gus, you are not leaving our beautiful home and going back to our cozy cottage because my mom has a problem.  She has to know I lost my virginity years ago. You are staying in our room with me.”

“Just know if you want me to….”

“Shut up and eat.” She smiled at him and touched his cheek.

Molly and Tyler fell into bed exhausted.  The cottage was nearly empty with just a few boxes here and there.  The rest of their things had already been moved to town where they would be living by tomorrow evening. “You know I made a big deal about teaching Paul a few things yet tonight? I think I am too tired to even do that.” Tyler said as he fluffed his pillow. “Come here, Taylor.” He pulled Molly so her head rested on his chest.

“I know I am not up to acrobatics, I can tell you that.”  She soaked in his warmth. “Tomorrow will be a busy day. Do we have all the people lined up to move the furniture in for us?”

“Well, Gus, Dan, Marcus, Justin, and Brian. Oh and Gus said he had a couple guys that worked on his house that are coming to help for $50 and a couple bottles of Taylor Kinney Wine.”

“That should work.  I will go up and direct people as they bring things in.  I am so thankful Mary offered to take Paul. He wouldn’t be happy in all the chaos tomorrow.”

“No, it would be a little confusing for him.  I think Brinn is staying here too. I am glad Shelby is feeling better but she isn’t going to be able to help.”

“And her mom is coming so she would be busy anyway.” Molly started playing with the sparse hair Tyler had on his chest and then her hand started moving down the thing trail of hair that led below his waist.  “It looks like I might have woke up someone.”

“Taylor, just thinking about you wakes that up.”  He turned on his side so they were face to face and pulled her tightly against him.  He ran his hand down the back of her leg and when he got to her knee he pulled her leg up on his.  This left her exposed and he gently entered her. Molly closed her eyes at the feel of him. “Open your eyes and look into mine.”

She tensed a bit. “Don’t order…”

Tyler’s hand slid down her back. In a whisper he said, “Taylor, please look into my eyes.”

Molly relaxed again and began to drown in his deep brown eyes. He barely moved his hips but the tension in her body began to build and she felt as she was drowning in Tyler and the feelings he was emitting.  Ever so tenderly, Tyler moved even closer and his lips danced across her face and as he found her lips and his tongue entered he clung to her and as a tear escaped her eye she saw the colors of the rainbow explode as her emotions shattered  apart and put back together in the matter of seconds as she climaxed. She couldn’t stop shaking as he orgasmed so gently it was another new sensation. Tyler continued to kiss her and stroked her until her body relaxed again. He laid on his back again and kept her close.

As he stroked her head, resting on his chest, Tyler cooed, “Sleep now, Taylor.  Tomorrow is the beginning of our new life together.” She shivered as she snuggled against his heated body and she felt completely safe. Tyler looked up and say Paul watching them half awake. Softly he said, “I hope someday you find someone as special as your mom.”

The vineyard was busy the next morning as three different vehicles left for town in a caravan.  Brinn and Paul were in Mary’s capable hands and Shelby was waiting excitedly and a little nervously for her mother to come.  She had to admit she missed her mom and wanted to share all the excitement of an upcoming wedding with her. She really hoped her family would support her.  She wanted a relationship with them. When they had children, she wanted them to know their grandparents. She knew Brian and Justin would always be there but the kids would have four grandparents.

Shelby tried to make herself look good although her nose was still red and she was still coughing a bit. She had taken the last of her five days antibiotics today and, hopefully, by the time it was processed out of her body she would be all better. It was a cool morning so Gus had started a fire in the fireplace in the living room and that is where Shelby fell asleep until her phone rang.  “Hi Honey, I am at the entrance to the Taylor Kinney vineyard. You told me to call when I got here.”

“Oh, Mom, I am so excited.” Shelby talked her mom through the maze of trails that was part of the vineyard.  Her mom went past Brian and Justin’s house and commented on how lovely it was. Shelby didn’t take her past Jim and Mary’s and when her mom said she saw the little cottages Shelby grabbed her heavy sweater and stepped out onto the wrap around deck.  She could hear a motor and then her mom’s car came into view. She waved as her mom pulled up.

“Mom, I am so glad to see you,” Shelby coughed from the chilly air.  

“Oh, honey, you shouldn’t be out here in the cold.  You have been sick. It is a good thing you were outside, though.  I may have thought this was a hotel. Is this your new home?”

“Yes, we have only been in here a couple weeks.  We moved from one of those little cottages you drove past.  Please, come in. I have water going for tea and there’s a fire Gus started for us.”

“Your Gus isn’t here?”

“He will be later, Mom.”  His aunt is moving today so he is helping but he will be here by later afternoon.  Since I have had this cold he said he would pick up some dinner for us in town. I can’t wait for you to meet him.  I love him so much,” she looked over at her mom.

Sally, Shelby’s mom, smiled. “I wondered if you were ever going to stop and breath. He must be special.”

“Oh , he is, Mom.”  Shelby and Sally, “You’ll love his family, too.  I know you have heard me talk about his sister, Brinn.  She is brilliant and soon will be far smarter than I am. Thankfully, she can do some classes online and I am there to just support her for those.”

“And she is only eight?”

“Yes, she will be nine around Thanksgiving.  I am starting to wonder what I will do once she moves on.  We have already been talking about it.”

“I was thinking on the ride here that I remember you talking about her dad but you have never mentioned her mom.  Isn’t she here?”

“No, she is in contact with her but she is not involved with Brinn regularly.”

“Oh, that’s too bad.”

“Actually, from what I hear, it is best if her mom isn’t around.  She has had some problems and Brinn’s homelife here is much more stable.  She never wonders if she’s loved here.” Shelby really wanted to change the subject but she knew her mom had to know.

“So her dad is raising her on his own?”

“Mom, can I get you another cup of tea?”

“No, I am fine.  Honey, why do I get the feeling you are uncomfortable about something. I don’t make you uncomfortable do I?” Sally took Shelby’s hand in hers.  “Daddy and I have worried about you. When we talk to you, you always seem a bit evasive. We were afraid you may have gotten mixed up with drugs or…”

“Oh Mom, I do have something to tell you and I have wanted to tell you for a long time but I know what you and Daddy are going to say.”

“Is your Gus already married?  That’s what your father thinks.”

“Oh, no, Mom.  Gus is actually only 21, well will be 21 next week.”

“Well, that’s a relief. Then what is it?”

“Mom, Brinn does have two parents.”

“Oh, she has a stepmom,” Sally interjected.

“Mom, please, let me tell you this,” she looked pleadingly at her.  Sally nodded but didn’t say anything. “Mom, Brinn and Gus have two dads. Gus actually has two moms, also.”

Sally’s mouth dropped open and all she said was, “Oh.”

“Mom, I know your opinion on this but this is one of the best families I have ever met.  Brian and Justin love their kids as much as you and Daddy love us and they love each other so much.  They have been together for over 20 years. Mom, please don’t dislike them just because you don’t agree with their lifestyle because if you really look at their lifestyle you’ll see they really are a lot like you and Daddy.”

Sally sat quietly.  “Mom?”

“You know I won’t embarrass you, honey, and I will try to keep an open mind.”

“Thanks, Mom.”  Shelby hugged her mom. “I promise you, they are great people.  You will love Justin. Brian isn’t quite as warm but if you watch him with his children and his husband you can see his heart. They are coming for lunch tomorrow.”

The two women sat and talked until Shelby began yawning. “I think you could use a nap and I wouldn’t mind laying down for a little while after my long drive.”  together the women walked up the stairs together.

“I can’t wait to meet this 21 year old who can build you a house like this.  Honey, I can see how happy you are. I am so glad.”

“Oh Mom, I know I am where I belong. I love you.”  Shelby made sure her mom was settled in her room. “Just wake me up when you are ready to do something.”

Molly stood in the middle of the living area and was in charge. She directed the men that were helping with the furniture, sending them to the right room and if assembly was required she let them know where it would sit when it was done.  Tyler walked up behind her and pulled her against him.

“Tyler, we don’t have time for this.  We have people helping us and I need to let them know where to bring it.”

Tyler turned her around and tried kissing her.  “Tyler! Stop it. I have things I need to do.”

“I have things I want to do,” he slid his hand down her back and rested on her well worn jeans.

Molly shoved him away. Her eyes flashed and she looked at him. “Let go of me if you want to touch me any time in the next week.”

The look in her eye told Tyler she was serious. He put his hands in the air and backed off just as Dan and Marcus walked through.  “Not sure what we just broke up but can we use the back bedroom to do the same thing?”

“Trust me, Dan, you do not want to be doing the same thing.  I’ve just received the threat of being cut off for a week.”

Dan and Marcus smirked. “I’m cut off for the weekend and I’m already missing it.” Dan smiled as he placed his hand on Marcus’ ass. “He is waiting for a call from his mother.”  They moved on with the dresser they were carrying to the spare room. Marcus shut the door to the room.

“I want you to come over tonight.” Marcus kissed Dan.  “I don’t think I can sleep anymore without you.”

“Marcus, I am not coming to your bed if your mom can’t even know we share it.”

“Well, then I am coming to yours. Just leave the back door open.  I will slip in and out through there. I can use my app to hear my doorbell in case she shows up at an unexpected time.”

“You could just  tell her you are truly, madly, deeply in love with me,” Dan smiled.

“Dan,” Marcus looked at him seriously, “I am madly, deeply in love with you.”

“You took a hell of a place to tell me this,” Dan threw Marcus on the bed which had just been set up. “I am so in love with you I can’t think straight and I don’t know how much longer I can deny it in public.” He crushed Marcus’ mouth and Marcus’ mouth opened willingly to the invasion of Dan’s tongue.

“Marcus, you in there? Hey, I think it is your phone that is flashing Mom out here.”

“Damn,” Marcus took a deep breath. “I…”

“You have to go, I know,” Dan sighed. He kissed him once more. “I love you, Marcus, but I need all of you or I can’t have any of you.”

“Please. just a little while longer.  I promise.” He looked deep in Dan’s eye.  

“Soon, Marcus.” Dan’s heart was so full and yet so fragile. He needed a decision.

Justin saw Marcus’ face as he grabbed his phone.  It looked like he was on the verge of tears. Justin touched Brian’s arm.  “I don’t know what’s up but one of us needs to talk to Dan. He needs someone. I know that’s not your thing.  I’ll go.”

“Sunshine, I’ll go, if you don’t mind.”

“I trust you, Baby.” He dropped a kiss on his cheek and walked away.

Brian went to the back room where he found Dan sitting on the bed.  He shut the door behind him and sat next to him. “Sunshine says you need someone to talk to.”

“Not in the mood to talk,” Dan said, “But I could use a shoulder.” His head rested on Brian’s shoulder and Brian’s arm went around him.   After several minutes, Dan stood up. “We better get out there and help.” Dan started toward the door but Brian stood and reached for Dan’s hand.

“Dan, I’m not any good at this but…” he pulled Dan close as tears ran down his cheeks.  He could only think of one other time Dan cried like this and it was over a broken heart.  “Is he worth crying over?”

“He is, Brian.  He is so worth it,” Dan said with a shaky voice.

“Then cry, Dan.”

A half hour later Dan and Brian reappeared just as the last of the boxes were brought up the steps. Justin was emptying boxes in the kitchen when an arm went around his shoulder. It didn’t feel like Brian but he still expected it to be him but when he looked he saw Dan.  “Thanks, Justin.” He kissed his cheek and then went to find Tyler to see what still needed to be done. Gus was directing people downstairs to help set up for his party next week while he had the extra help.

Then Justin felt Brian’s arms come around him.  It was like there was an automatic current or pheromones that let them sense each other. Justin rested against him.  “Is Dan Ok? He just kissed me before going downstairs.”

“I wouldn’t say he was fine but unless Marcus fucks up he will be really good. He loves him like he hasn’t love anyone.  The only one that came close was Andre but he really is having a hard time with not being able to tell the world how much he loves Marcus. I can’t imagine what he’s going through but he won’t do it long.  He gave Marcus an ultimatum basically. He needs all or nothing. Do you need it all?” Brian ground his pelvis into Justin’s ass.

“Oh, god. Just the smell of you is driving me crazy right now..”

Brian buried his nose into Justin’s neck. Justin felt Brian’s cock grow harder against him.

“Come on you two?  Really! In my brand new kitchen?” Molly stood in the doorway.  

Tyler walked up behind her.  “Yes, it is our job to christen each room not yours.”

“I do not want to picture my sister ….now my brother in law….I wouldn’t mind picturing.” Both Brian and Molly hit Justin.

“Keep that up and I will have to punish you tonight,” Brian threatened Justin.

Justin looked at Brian, walked over to Tyler, put a hand on each cheek and kissed him directly on the mouth. Tyler’s eye got big and Molly started laughing so hard she could barely stand. At the same time Justin wiggled his ass at Brian and winked. Brian growled low in his throat.

Molly finally took a deep breath to regain control of herself, “Big brother, you may do that as long as he doesn’t think you kiss better than me.”

Now Tyler, with a completely serious look on his face, looked at Molly and said, “Well, Taylor, you might have a problem.” Now Molly swatted her husband.  Tyler took her in his arms and arching her back kissed her slow and sensually. When he stood Molly straight up again she was flushed and opened her mouth but nothing came out.  

Gus strode into the kitchen, “Hey Mol,” he paused.  “Why do I think I just missed something?” With that they all started laughing again.

“I’m sorry, Gus,” Molly controlled herself.  “Did you need me for something?”

“I just wanted to know if you knew where the last dozen bar stools are.”

“They were backordered.  They are supposed to come in on  Monday. Gus, why don’t you go home to Shelby and your mother in law.  She may need you. If you got the stuff done we talked about, I should be able to easily get it done over the next week. I should say we.  Tyler was given the next week off so he will start with Dan after your party.”

“I suppose I better get going then.  You going to tell me what was so funny?”  Molly gave him the short version and Gus chuckled.  “Someone is going to get an ass warming tonight, just the way he likes it. Well, I’m going to head out. I guess you will have to go get Paul in  a little while.”

“Actually, Mary is going to bring him to town.  She texted me a little bit ago. She has to get groceries or something. Thanks, partner, for all your help today.  Tell Shelby I will talk to her on Monday but if she needs me, tell her to call.” She kissed Gus and he waved at his dads as he left to meet his future mother in law.  

Sally rested for a while but then decided to look around the house.  Her daughter’s home was so lovely. She had never dreamed any of her children would live in such an amazing place. She knew Shelby could use the sleep so she put on her jacket and went out on the deck.  It was quite nice in the sun but it was definitely feeling like fall. As she looked out into the valley she was sure she heard a vehicle. She walked around the corner of the deck and saw a vehicle going into the garage. She stepped back into the house and waited for the young man to walk in the door.

“Shelly, I’m home.”  Gus said it but not too loudly, in case she was asleep. He set dinner on the counter and then saw the middle aged woman standing near the door.  “Oh, you must be Sally. I’m Gus.” He walked over and shook her hand.

“Hi, Gus.  Shelby seemed to need her sleep so after I took a short nap I just strolled around outside for a few minutes.

“How is Shelby today?  I know she was never seriously ill but I really worried about her. Can I get you some coffee or maybe tea?  I just picked up some chicken I thought I could make a simple chicken and rice meal we like.”

“Gus I would love to make the meal if you don’t mind.  I am sure yours would be very good but I enjoy cooking and I hear you have had a busy day.  Why don’t you go take a shower and see if my daughter is alright and I will make some dinner.”

“I feel guilty.  You are company.”

“Gus, I am family,” she patted his face.

“Well, if you need anything else the pantry has all the staples.”

“I am sure I can make something work.”

“Thanks, Sally.” He dropped a gentle kiss on her cheek.  

As he walked upstairs she thought, no wonder her daughter loved this man. He seemed genuinely caring.   She looked at what Gus had brought home and looked through the pantry. She started cooking.

Gus entered the bedroom and saw Shelby was asleep on the bed.  He stripped and got into the shower. He felt like he had a coating of grime and sweat on him.  As he rubbed the soap over his body he thought about his dads and had to smile. He could almost picture what would go on in their bed tonight.  He loved them so much. He finished up in the shower and stepped out. A warm towel was wrapped around his waist as Shelby’s arms went around him.  

“My mom is she still sleeping?”

“No, she met me in the kitchen.  She seems very nice. She offered to make dinner.  I hope you don’t mind. I told her I felt odd about having a guest cook but she insisted she was family.”

“Well, she is.” Shelby pulled the towel off and began to dry off his chest and then his back,  He took the towel from her and dried his legs.

Gus wrapped his arms around her and kissed her.  “Why don’t you go check on your mom. I will be down in 10 minutes. If you stay here looking at me like you are it will be an hour.”

“I love you, Gussy.” Shelby trailed a hand down his naked body and then left the room.   She went down the staircase, “Mom, you were supposed to wake me up when you did.” Shelby hugged her mom.

“I knew you could use the rest. You actually look a little better already.” Sally kissed her daughter’s cheek.  “I have missed you, honey. You know I love your brothers with all my heart but you are my only girl.”

“Mom, what did you think of Gus.”

“He is a very nice young man.  I like him very much so far. He is very polite and was obviously taught manners.”

“He has very good parents, Mom. Both of his dads are well respected in the area and it is not just because they have more money everyone else in the county combined. It’s because they care about the community.  Gus is starting a new business with his aunt that will just add more to the area.”

“Shelby, you know money doesn’t mean anything to me, however, it sounds like they are good people.  The area people don’t mind that they are…..well, that two men are married?”

“Mom, not everyone ‘approves’ of them, not that it is any of their business, but they have realized that these two powerful men are here for the town, not for themselves.”

Sally pulled a pan out of the oven and added a layer of cheese before popping it back into the oven.  “You’ve made up your mind, haven’t you?”

“What do you mean, Mom?” Shelby was a bit confused.

“If we can’t accept him and his family we will have to say goodbye to you?”

“Mom, I hope it never comes to that.” Shelby looked up, “Hey, Gussy, dinner is almost ready.  Why don’t you pour us some of your dads’ wine.” Shelby hugged her mom and said softly, “Please don’t make me choose.”

Judith Chandler stood in the lobby of the hotel waiting for her son.  Marcus entered and she walked over and gave him a hug. “Marc it has been far too long.  You should have come home for a visit.”

“Mom, I have been very busy.  Business is going very well which means I don’t have a lot of free time.  And under your direction, I have made some new friends so I have to spend a little time with them. Today I helped some of them move. I am afraid I am a little dirty from all that. Why don’t you come along with me to my house so I can clean up and then I will take you out to dinner.”

“That sounds lovely.  I am anxious to see your place.  I know you said….”

“Mom, can we talk in the car. I really feel gross.”

“Sure, Marc. We do have lots to talk about.” Marcus opened the car door for her and offered his hand as she got in. Once they were on the road she said. “I have decided to run for congress.  That will mean reporters following me everywhere and you may have one or two show up on your doorstep. Because I use my maiden name might slow them down a day or two but we both know it isn’t going to take long.  You don’t have any skeletons in your closet you have hidden from me do you, Marc?”

As Marcus pulled into his spot Dan was getting out of his car.  “Oh, Mom, this is my friend, Dan Reed. I mentioned him on the phone.  Dan this is my mother, Judith Chandler.”

“Dan, it is so nice to meet you. Please, come in with us.  Marcus is going to shower. In fact, why don’t you come along to dinner, my treat.  I would love to find out what my son is up to here in California.”

“I would love to, Ms. Chandler.  I am as dirty as your son. Is 30 minutes good?”

“That would be perfect, Dan.  I can’t wait to find out what my son has been up to.”

Dan was barely in his house and his phone rang.  “Hey Red.”

“What are you doing? Why did you say you would come to dinner.  Tell her something came up. Darling, please.”

“Slow down, Red.  If your mother sees what a wonderful person I am she will have less to argue about later.”

“But Dan, …”

“Marcus, I will behave but she has to see how normal our love is. Now shower.  I will see you soon. Red, I love you.”

“I love you, too, darling.”

By the end of the evening, Dan had Judith eating out of his hand.  Dan had told her he was gay and when she asked if there was someone special in his life he said there was but that he was free this weekend because his love was unavailable with a family commitment.  She found out about his lucrative business and even talked about hiring some of his men when she started campaigning.

As the evening came to a close Marcus pulled up to the hotel with his mom. Dan waited in the car while Marcus walked Judith to her hotel room.  “I am so glad you have made such a close friend already. Do you like his partner as well?”

“I do, but Dan and I just clicked right away.  Mom, I need to tell you….”

“Oh, Marc, my phone is signaling me.  I am expecting this call. I will be over in the morning.  You can tell me whatever it is then,” and she closed the door on him.

“I was going to tell you that I love him with all my heart….” he said softly as he walked toward the elevator.

As he got behind the wheel he looked over at Dan, “I was going to tell her.  I started and then she got a call and shut the door.” Dan leaned over to kiss him.  “Dan, not here. What if…”

“What if someone sees the fags kissing in the parking lot?  What if..what, Marcus?”

“Let’s go home.  I need you. I don’t need a scene.”  He backed up and turned toward their townhouses.  It was a silent ride until the car was put in park.  As they walked to their individual doors Marcus looked over at Dan standing at the next door, “I need you. Please unlock your back door.”

Dan walked upstairs to his bedroom.  Five minutes later he heard Marcus at his door. He deactivated the alarm from his bed so it wouldn’t go off but he did not unlock the door.  Next, he got a text. ‘Unlock the door.’

Dan laid there a moment and then texted Marcus back. “Red, I love you too much to play games with my heart.’  When Dan’s phone rang he answered it, “Red, what do you want?”

“You, you are all I want.  I tried to tell her. Please, Darling Dan.  I need you. I promise I will tell her tomorrow. Let me in, Dan, please.  I love you.” Marcus heard the lock click and he entered Dan’s locking the door behind him.  By the time he made it upstairs, Marcus was pulling off his clothes. He stood in the doorway looking at Dan, not knowing what to expect. He didn’t say anything but folded the blanket back. Marcus sat on the edge of the mattress. “Dan I….”

“Come here, Red. I need to feel your body against mine.”

“I need to feel you inside of me.”

“In time, Red, but first…” the men kissed.  Dan grabbed Marcus’ ass and pressed him so tightly against his own penis. As their erect members throbbed against each other pre cum and then cum mingled as the men’s tongues danced together as well.  Dan reached around Marcus and began to massage Marcus’ bud and watched his face as his expression turned to blissful anguish. As Dan’s finger slipped in, Marcus cried out.

“Oh, please, Dan, I need so much more than your finger.”  Dan positioned him so his ass was in the air. Dan moved behind him and in a fluid motion buried his throbbing sheathed cock all the way inside Marcus.  Marcus cried out as Dan began to glide in and out while sliding his hand over Marcus’ erection. Soon they were both unable to hold on anymore. They both collapsed into each other’s arms. The men lost count of how many times they made love but both of them were sore and happy by the time they fell asleep for the last time.

Gus was very charming throughout the evening.  They sat in the living room talking about Shelby as a child.  Shelby started out sitting next to Gus but as the evening went on and she felt sleepy her head ended up in his lap.  He stroked her hair naturally as he kept up the conversation with Sally. When he looked down at Shelby, Sally could see the love he had for her daughter.  She could also see her daughter was sound asleep.

“Gus, my daughter has told me about your parents.  That isn’t the way we were raised. They aren’t the kind of people we have in our circle of friends.”

“With all due respect, Sally, you are missing out on some very awesome people then. I feel very fortunate to have four loving parents that would do anything for me.  They have raised me to be the person I am today. I have had lots of advantages, I realize, that many people will never have. The first half of my life I lived with my moms in Canada most of the time and when I got in the rough years my dads accepted me full time. I feel so lucky to have 4 parents that work as a unit most of the time. They didn’t work against each other and I couldn’t get away with trying that. They are all very successful in their own careers and have taught me what it takes to succeed but most of all, they taught me how to love.  I would give my life for Shelly and I am sorry if you can’t accept my family for being who they are.”

“Gus, I can tell you love her and are very able to provide for her. I think she is blessed to have found you. I think I am ready to head to bed.”

Gus spoke softly to Shelby, “Hey, Shelly, time to wake up.” He kissed her cheek as her eyes fluttered open.  “Your mom is going to bed.”

Shelby stood up.  “Mom, I’m sorry I fell asleep.”

“That’s alright, honey.  You need your rest.” The women hugged as they headed to the stairs.

“I’ll be right up.  I will just lock up and turn lights off.” He kissed each woman’s cheek as they moved to the steps and he went the opposite direction.”  

As Sally and Shelby reached the top of the stairs to go opposite directions, Sally said, “He loves you so.”

“I know he does, Mom, and I love him.  I will see you in the morning. Remember the family is coming for lunch.  I hope you will help me with the meal?”

“I would love to.” Sally said as she went down the  hall to her bedroom.

Gus walked into the bedroom right behind Shelby.  Shelby turned into his arms, “So what did you and my mom talk about when I fell asleep.”

“My parents mostly.”

“Oh, Gus, I am sorry.  She wasn’t too cruel was she?”

“She wasn’t cruel at all but she made sure I knew that my family was not what she considered appropriate or the kind of people she socialized  with.” He saw the horror on Shelby’s face, “but she got one thing right. I love you with every cell of my body.” He pulled her close and kissed her deeply. “Do you feel well enough to let me show you how much I love you?”  Shelby answered by pulling her shirt off over her head and then undid her bra. Gus undid her pants and slid them down and then he laid her down on the bed. Gus shed his clothes and soon he was stroking her skin until she shivered with need and then he made love to her.  As she climaxed he started to silence her with his own mouth.

“No, I want her to hear me.  I hope she does!” She cried out as Gus joined her. Gus dropped next to her.  

“You know she can’t hear us, right?  I sound proofed our bedroom. I learned that from my dads long ago. Gus’ mouth traveled down Shelby’s neck and descended to her breasts where he again feasted and soon Shelby again trembled and came.  This time she ended with a barrage of coughing. Gus brought her some cough syrup and then pulled her close as she drifted off. Gus soon joined her in a deep restful sleep.

Brian and Justin had called Brinn to see what she wanted for dinner and they picked up a pizza on the way home.  Brian was a bit quiet. “Baby, you are very quiet.”

“I was just thinking about you kissing Tyler.  Do you really think he is that good looking?”

“If he was gay, I’d drop you in a hot second.” Justin said with a coy smile. “He’s young, he is built like a brick wall.  I wonder if other things are sized…” Justin fanned at his face. “Maybe a couple more kisses and I can change his mind. You have told me I am a very good kisser.”

“Shut up, Sunshine.” Brian said through clenched teeth.

“Have you ever seen skin that color. It reminds me of the color I like my coffee.  I could drink that…”

“I told you to shut up!” Brian nearly shouted.  Justin knew he had definitely gotten under his skin.

Justin opened his mouth again to say something but before anything came out Brian had reached over and held Justin’s upper arm and held on tightly, digging his fingers in a little.

“I was just going to say the pizza smells good.  I’ll open a bottle of red when we get home,” he spoke softly. Brian let go of his arm as if he got burned. They pulled up in front of the house just as Brinn walked up.

“Dad, Daddy!”  She ran up to them.  “I smell pizza! Brian hugged her and held her close.

“I am really sorry, Brinny, but I have to do a little work.  I will tuck you in at bedtime, Ok?”

Brinn sighed, “Ok, I missed you today.”  

Brian picked her up and kissed her. “Tomorrow is family day, Ok? I promise.”

“Ok, a whole day is better than a couple hours tonight.”

Brian grabbed a plate and a couple slices of pizza.  He then picked up a bottle of bourbon and walked to the office without saying a word to Justin.

Justin pulled out a couple plates  and set them on the eating bar where Brinn was sitting and he poured her a soda.  He got himself a large glass of wine. Brinn watched all this. “Are you and Dad fighting or playing one of your games?”

“You are too smart, Sweetheart.  There is nothing for you to worry about.  It is just a game, I hope, although he is a little upset with me. You know I can kiss away his bad mood.”

“There is a lot more than kissing that goes on.”

“Brinn, you know Shelby’s mom is here, right?”

“Yes, I can’t wait to meet her.”

“Sweetheart, I want you to be yourself but Shelby’s mom doesn’t really like the idea of Gus having two dads and two moms.”

“Why not?  Lots of kids have  two dads and two moms.”

“Yes, you’re right but in most of the cases the moms and dads aren’t married to each other.”

“Oh, so she doesn’t agree with gay marriage.”

“Exactly. Your dad and I are going to be on our good behavior and I just want to be sure you are too.”

“I will, Daddy.  I won’t make any jokes about you kissing or anything.”

Justin and Brinn talked and ate pizza.  They then snuggled on the couch and watched a movie.

“Justin!” Brian called sharply from the hall.

Justin kissed the top of Brinn’s head. “I’ll be right back.”

“What do you want, Brian?  My daughter and I are watching a movie.”  As soon as he had said that he wondered if that was going too far.

Brian took Justin by the tops of his arms. “Go in our room, strip, and stand with your nose pressed on the wall.  Stay there until I come back.”

“But I need to put Brinn to bed.”

“I will put her to bed. Do as I say, NOW!”

Justin wasn’t sure if this Brian made him uncomfortable because he was so horny or because he scared the hell out of him.  “Good night, Brinny. I will see you in the morning,” he said over his shoulder as he walked into the bedroom.”

Brian sat down and pulled Brinn into his lap.  When the movie was over he gave her time to change and then came in to her room.  He gave her a kiss and hugged her tight. She returned the embrace.”Dad, don’t really be mad at Daddy.  Remember how much he loves you, no matter what he said or did. What did he do?”

Brian had to smile a bit. “He kissed your Uncle Tyler.”

Brinn started giggling, “That’s so silly.  Uncle Tyler loves Aunt Molly so much he isn’t sure how to handle it.”

“You are very right.  We have a lot of love around here, don’t we.  You know I sometimes get a little upset with your Daddy, but I still love him.”

“Of course you do.  Everyone loves Daddy.”

Brian said goodnight and then walked to the kitchen for a bottle of wine.  He had plans for this. He walked into the room and Justin stood exactly where he had been instructed.  “In the bathroom, now!” Justin moved from the spot he had been standing in for 15 minutes. “Put your hands on the tub.” Justin did as he was told.  “Shut your eyes.” Justin followed his direction. Brian got out an enama bag and filled it with wine. He lubed the end and slipped it into Justin.

“Bri, this is a new one but this doesn’t feel like water.”

“It isn’t water, it’s wine. Now hold it.” He took out the hose and put a plug in.” Brian picked up a hairbrush that was sitting on the counter and began swatting Justin ass which was sticking up in the air.  After he had landed a dozen, he began to rub the red cheeks. He could feel the heat. Justin swayed a little, “Come here and lay down. You are getting sloshed.

“Brian, I need to go to the bathroom.”  Justin’s speech was slurred.

“Oh, no, not yet. Get your ass back up in the air.”  With his hand Brian spanked him several more times but he kept going.  He kept picturing Justin in Tyler’s arms. He knew it was crazy but….

“Brian, please, stop.  Brian,” He kept spanking him. “Brian, Gus! Brian!”

Brian shook his head, “Oh Sunshine, are you alright?”

“My ass is on fire but I feel so good. Brian, I think I am a little drunk.”   Justin tried to stand up but he couldn’t walk on his own. “Let me help you, Sunshine.” Brian threw him over his shoulder and carried him to the bathroom.  “I’m going to remove the plug. Please try to hold it until my hand is out of the way.” Brian quickly pulled the plug out and Justin released the wine. He was so dipsy Brian had to hold him in place.

When Justin was done using the bathroom he looked at Brian, “What were you thinking, Baby? You weren’t thinking about me.”  Justin looked at him with his blurry, blue eyes. “Why weren’t you thinking about me, Baby? Did I go to far? Oh, Baby….”

Brian laid Justin on the bed and put his legs over his shoulders.  Brian drove into him. He felt the heat radiating from Justin’s ass.  It would be bruised tomorrow. “I was picturing you kissing Tyler. You belong to ME!” Brian’s mouth came down on Justin’s. “You belong to me.”

Later  they lay side by side and Justin was laying on his stomach as Brian rubbed cream on Justin’s crimson ass.  “I’m sorry, Sunshine.”

“What are you sorry for? I asked for it and you stopped when I asked you to. I still have an amazing buzz going on.”

“I should probably give you another enema that will help with the hangover.  I think I remember what to mix together.”

“Just give me plenty of water and….protein.”

“No more protein but lots of water. You are very dehydrated form holding that much alcohol that long.”

“But I feel….”

“You feel know pain.”

“Do you feel pain, Brian?  Why are you feeling pain?”

“I feel pain when I think of losing you to someone younger and better looking.  Someone like Tyler.”

“Brian, my one and only love.  You know I was joking. You know I was stringing you along.  You know I play this game.”

“I know. I just worry someday it won’t be a game.”

“Oh, Baby, I will always, always be yours.  Why do you even doubt that? Tomorrow we are going to meet our son’s future mother in law and we are going to show her bigoted mother that we are just like any other couple that have been together for 20 years.  Sure we look at other good looking men but we always come home to each other. God, I love you, Brian Kinney. Stop being a fool.” And with that Justin drifted off into a deep sleep.

“I love you to, Sunshine.  I can’t do life without you.”
