Chapter 2

When Gus and Shelby returned from the night away everyone could tell something had happened between them while they were gone. The way they looked at each other told everyone that they had a new closeness and maybe a new commitment to each other.

Gus went up to the house on Monday morning.  He had been up early, leaving Shelby sleeping, to meet with the foreman of the building crew.  After working with the crew for the several hours something came up he felt he needed to run past at least one of his dads.  

Justin was in the house and Gus asked his approval on a change in the cost of the house.  Justin said it was fine and then said, “Gus, have a seat for a few minutes you deserve a little break,” he grabbed a couple ice teas out of the fridge and handed one to Gus.

“Dad, I am really sweaty and I stink!”

Justin smiled,“Sit. So it looks like you and Shelby had a great time.  Am I right that there has been a change of some kind?”

Gus smiled, “I should have figured just seeing us a couple minutes that you would have noticed.  Dad, I just realized I could never live without her in my life but I also know I am too young to get married. I gave her my great grandma’s locket.”  Justin smiled at that, knowing how special that was to him. “We didn’t talk about marriage but I think we both knew it was a new commitment.“

“I think that’s great, Gus.  You know I love Shelby.” Justin saw a look cross his face, “Are you worried about Brian?”

“Well, that might be one reason I would be hesitant to get married now but I haven’t met her family yet, either.  She finally talked about them this weekend. From what she said they are very sweet people that are very homophobic.  They live in a very sheltered area and just don’t understand that everyone is really the same. But, I will be meeting them when we go there over Labor Day.”

“Well, Gussy, if anyone can show them how ‘normal’ our family is it is you.  I am not sure how we ended up with such an amazing son.” Justin went to hug his son but stopped a few inches away.  “Sorry, Gus, you know how much I love you but you really do stink.”

When Shelby got up she pulled on some clothes, got a cup of coffee, and walked over to Molly’s to see if she could help with Paul so Molly could work on the books for the store.  She knocked and walked in. “You don’t have to tell me that your get away was great.” Molly said as she put a bite of food in Paul’s open mouth.

“That doesn’t come close.  It was just perfect. I told Gus about my family and he wants to meet them.  We will do that Labor Day weekend. And he gave me this!” Shelby pointed at the necklace she was wearing.  

“Oh, Shelby, that looks really old and it’s beautiful.”

“It was his great grandmother’s and he wanted me to have it. He didn’t say it but I think it is a promise that someday we will get married.”

“I have no doubt of that Shelby.  He is so in love with you he can’t think straight.”

“How are you feeling?”

“Feeling?”

“Ya, about  your lunch date.”

“He probably won’t even call but, I have to admit I am excited.  I am ready to move on and get a life again. I love Paul with all my heart but it is time to find someone who loves me and eventually love Paul.

Shelby took Paul out  of the high chair and snuggled with the little boy.  “You know, Molly, Gus and I will always be available to babysit.”

“I appreciate that.”

“Maybe Gus will see how wonderful a baby is.”  She hesitated, “I know he is young but I am so ready to have a sweet baby to hold.”

“Well, you can borrow mine if you don’t mind, I do have about an hour’s work.”

“Say no more.  We will go for a walk and enjoy the beautiful day. Oh, and Molly?”  Molly looked at her, “Andrew would be an idiot not to call you tomorrow.”

Molly arrived at work on Tuesday a few minutes early even though she had spent extra time on her makeup this morning.  She had to admit she hoped Andrew would call about lunch today. She felt like a teenager and knew she had to get herself under control. About 10:00 am  the bell rang on the front door. She was helping a customer but started saying, “I’ll be right….” She lost her concentration when she saw Andrew standing there, “with you.” giving him a smile she turned back to the customer.  “Why don’t you try that on and I will be right back.” As the woman went to the dressing room, she walked over to Andrew.

“Good morning,” Andrew gave her a killer smile.  “You look lovely this morning. I won’t keep you because I know you’re working but may I take you to lunch today?”

“I would like that.”

“What time are you free? I can make anything work.”  Andrew reached out and touched her elbow.

She flushed a bit. “Does 12:30 work for you?

“Perfect, I will be here at 12:30,” he pointed toward the dressing room, “Looks like you’re needed.  I will see you soon.” And he was gone.

The morning drug on and when her boss came in at noon she instantly could see something was going on.  “Is something wrong, Molly?”

Molly blushed a little, “No, I am just being an overgrown teenager. I have a lunch date.  It really isn’t a date, I don’t think, but it sort of is and I hope it is and I,” Molly stopped and took a deep breath.

The kind, older lady smiled.  “Why don’t you go in the back and do a little freshening up, not that you need it and maybe sit down for a few minutes. Take some deep breaths.”

“Thank you,” She smiled at the woman.  “Call me if you get busy.”

“I will, now go.”

Molly called Shelby, “I am so nervous, Shelby.  What if I say something stupid. I haven’t talked to a man, except Gus, in years, not really.”

“Molly, Andrew is taking you to lunch in a public place.  You won’t be alone. Just talk to him.”

“What if he asks about Paul?”

“Why would he ask if you have a baby? But if he does just tell you yes you have a son and ask him the same thing? Molly, you are a beautiful woman who is lots of fun and have so much going for you.  Just be you. And if it doesn’t feel right, there will be someone else.”

“Thanks, Shelby, I’ll talk to you when I get home.”

“You’re damn right, you will. Love you, Molly. I’m cheering for you.”

At 12:30 Molly walked out of the back just as Andrew walked in the door.  She quickly introduced Andrew and her boss and they walked toward the door.  Her boss said, “Take your time, Molly. Business is slow today.” Molly smiled back at her as they walked out the door. Andrew took her hand and placed it in the crook of his arm, covering her hand with his.

“I have to admit I have been thinking about you ever since we met last week.”  Andrew smiled down at her. Her heart fluttered. He was so good looking, maybe too good looking.  They walked the short distance to the cafe they had met in. After being seated and ordering, Andrew looked across at Molly.  “So Molly, tell me a little about yourself.” Andrew had a very easy way of speaking. She had a feeling he could talk to anyone at anytime.

“I am not very interesting really.  I was born and raised in Pittsburgh.  I married my college sweetheart. I divorced my college sweetheart, and then, after my father passed away, my big brother asked if I would like to move out here.  I needed a change in my life and Justin and Brian have plenty of room.”

“Justin and Brian?  You aren’t talking about the Taylor-Kinney’s are you?”

“You know my brother and his husband?”

“No, but I have been meaning to set up a meeting with them, well at least with Brian.  I hear he is the one that has been doing business deals around town.”

“Yes, Justin is hanging out at the vineyard spending time with their daughter this summer. What kind of business do you have?”

“Oh, I am in development.  I buy and sell companies.”

“Why do you want to talk to Brian?  Is there a business you think he might be interested in?”

“I hear he wants to improve this community and keep in thriving.  Well, I have a couple ideas I could use some backing for. I hear they are my men.”

Andrew asked more questions and she wasn’t sure when it happened but they were holding hands across the table.   All the sudden she noticed what time it was.

“Oh Andrew, I need to get going.  It is almost 2:00. I know I was told to take my time but I don’t want to take advantage of her generosity.”

“Well, then we should go.” He threw a generous amount of money on the table and offered his hand to Molly.  They walked hand in hand, back to the shop. “Molly, may I call you? I would love to see you again.”

“Yes, I’d like that.  Give me your phone and I will put my number in for you.”  She quickly added her name and number. Andrew brushed his lips on her cheekbone.

“We will speak soon.”  Andrew said and he walked away.

By the time Molly arrived at the vineyard at 5:00 she couldn’t wait to talk to Shelby but first she had to stop at the house to pick up Paul.  She nearly floated into the house and kissed both Justin and Paul on the cheeks. “Hey, I’m over here and since your brother will hardly kiss me…” Molly walked over and kissed Brian and then Brinn who were sitting on the couch together.

“So what have you been up to Mollusk?”  Justin asked as Molly came over and took her baby boy into her arms.

“Well, I worked all day.” She said but didn’t look at him.

“Work has never given you that look before, so spill it.”

“Justin...oh, …..I had a lunch date today.  And he is really nice, and he is good looking, and, oh, and Brian, he said he has wanted to meet you.  He is working on some sort of development project. We didn’t talk business, much.” She smiled like a teenager.  

“Well, if he has a real business proposition he wants to talk about I wouldn’t mind talking to him after we get back from our trip.  My calendar is full enough up until then. Tell him to get something together and call my office. I will fit him in when I get back to town.”

Justin looked at his sister.  “I’ll walk you back to the cottage, Mol.” He swung Paul up on his shoulders and the little boy laughed.

“What is it big brother?” Molly smiled up at Paul and then looked into Justin’s eyes.

“Molly, I know you are a grown woman but I’m your brother and I have to watch out for you.  You have had a really hard year and I hope this guy is as wonderful as you think he is because you deserve only the best but be careful.  I can have him checked out for you. Would you like…”

“Justin, I appreciate your concern but I think I am a pretty good judge of character.”

“How did you meet this guy?”

“He spilled a soda on me last week when Shelby and I went to town. Why?”

“Did he know who you were when you met?”

“Why, don’t you think I can get someone myself?”

“Oh, no Molly, you could have your choice of men but you know our family has drawn negative people before.  I mean poor Brinn has been kidnapped twice. I feel very guilty about that sometimes.” Justin brought Paul back into his arms and the little boy patted his cheeks. Justin got a wistful smile on his face, He kissed Paul, “Brinn used to do that all the time. I am so glad you are here, Molly, and I trust your judgement. Just remember that there are a lot of creeps out there that will use people to get what they want.”

Molly hugged her brother and then took Paul, “I love you, too, Justin, and I will be careful.”

That evening as Gus played guitar, Molly and Shelby talked about Andrew.  Soon Gus stopped. He stood and kissed Shelby on the cheek. “Excuse me, ladies.  I had a hard day in the hot sun. I think I am going to soak in a tub for a little bit and then go to bed.”

“How about I meet you there after your bath?”

“I was hoping you would offer that.”  He kissed her again and when they separated this time, Molly could feel the depth of it.

Gus strode to the cottage and the girls chatted a few more minutes.  “Molly, when he calls, you accept the date and Gus and I will babysit.  We will make it work no matter what! But now, my dear friend, I have a beautiful man waiting for me.  I love the sound of that.”

“Thanks, Shelby.  You go and show that nephew of mine how much you love him.”

The days leading up to Brian and Justin were busy.  Brian and Justin were both on edge. The night before they left they lay side by side in their bed but Brian wouldn’t touch Justin.  “I’m worried about Molly. Did you look into this Andrew guy? She is with him now.”

“I tried to but I didn’t find much.  I,” Brian hesitated. “I talked to Dan and he is checking into him.”

He saw the look that crossed Justin’s face.  “Sunshine, it was the first time I talked to him and I called him for Molly. When I couldn’t find anything on Andrew, I needed to do something.”

“I believe you, Baby.”  Justin smiled over at him. “Brian, I am not going to be able to sleep without at least a kiss goodnight.”

“If I touch you right now I am not sure I will be able to stop.  Tell me again why I have had blue balls for the last two weeks?”

“Because,” Justin moved closer to him and had his fingers roamed down Brian’s chest. His head moved to Brian’s and his lips pressed down onto Brian’s. His tongue probed Brian’s lips until they separated and their tongues intermingled until Brian had to push him away.  

“It is so hard to know you are so close and I can’t touch you.  I love you, Sunshine.”

“Remember we have both always said that even if we couldn’t have sex we would love each other.  If we can’t go two weeks, could we really go the rest of our lives?” Justin asked softly.

“Sunshine, if it was a choice between having you in my life or having sex, you would win out every time. I admit I would miss sex but I would miss not having you in my life much worse.  Your gentle voice, your assuring way, and I could never live without that smile.”

“Oh, Brian,”  Justin kissed him as a tear rolled down his cheek, “That was beautiful, you sap.  Justin and Brian started laughing. Brian pulled Justin close and they fell asleep.

Molly had lunch with Andrew a couple more times and finally they were out under the stars in his convertible.  They had a very nice dinner and now they were heading for the lookout where they both had heard the view was outstanding.  There was a bench so they got out of the car and sat next to each other. Andrew put an arm around her and pulled her close to him.

“I’m glad you finally let me take you out.  I was starting to wonder if your brother had told you not to go out with me.”

“Justin would never do that.  He loves me but I make my own choices. He and Brian leave in the morning.  It’s Brian’s 50th birthday and Justin is surprising him. When they get to Mexico there four best friends are coming for the weekend.”  Molly looked at Andrew and knew he had something on his mind.

Andrew’s mouth skimmed Molly’s hair.  “Molly, I really want to kiss you.”

With the moon glinting off her hair she tilted her head up and Andrew’s mouth came down on her.  Andrew pulled her close to him as he deepened the kiss. His fingers slipped under her top and he could feel her warm skin as he moved his hand upward, Molly started to tense up a bit.

“Um, Andrew, I really like you but I am not ready for…”

“That’s alright, Molly.  Just remember, I am ready any time you are.”  

Molly laid her head on his shoulder. “I will definitely remember that, Andrew.”

Andrew walked Molly to the door of her cottage and again took her in his arms and kissed her.  “Molly, I will be out of town this week but would you like to go out a week from tonight?

“I would love to, Andrew.” She kissed him once more, “Good night.”  

As she stepped into the cottage, Shelby and Gus were both there.  “I hope you weren’t distracting my babysitter, Gus Kinney. I normally wouldn’t let a boy come over.”  

“Ah, shucks, Aunt Molly, I was just about to get a first kiss and everything.”

All three of them laughed.  “Gussy, why don’t you go strip naked and I will be there in a couple of minutes to have my way with you.”

“Well, when you put it like that….” Gus kissed Shelby and gave Molly a hug as he left.

“So, tell me everything!”  Shelby said excitedly.

“He was a perfect gentleman. I really like him.”  Molly told her about the meal and sitting under the stars.  

“So is he a good kisser?”

“Shelby, I told him I wasn’t comfortable when his  fingers slipped under my shirt on to my waist. The truth was I was too comfortable with it.”

“Molly, there is nothing wrong with making him wait a little bit.  So when are you going out again?”

“Are you free again next Friday?”

Shelby nodded and said goodbye to Molly.  Molly watched her go and knew she would be in Gus’ arms momentarily.  She smiled. Maybe it wouldn’t be long before she would be doing the same thing with Andrew.  She quickly chastised herself. One date was not a relationship but as her mind wandered to the cottage next door and she could visualize Shelby in Gus’ arms something in her stirred.  She walked to her room, kissed her son and got ready for bed. Molly opened the drawer of her bedside table and took out the small vibrator. She laid down and turned it on. As she skimmed it down her body she shivered and as she reached her clit her body responded quickly. She tried not to cry out, not wanting to wake Paul.  Molly drifted off thinking about Andrew.

The next morning, Justin woke with his hand on Brian’s cock.  “You’re killing me, Justin. Please remove your hand.”

“Sorry, Brian, I honestly didn’t realize….”

“I know,” Brian kissed him and then groaned. “How soon will we get wherever we are going?”

“You will be glad to know it is only a three hour flight.”

“When do we leave? I don’t know how much longer I can wait to sink into you.”

“Down boy, we have seven days for that.” Justin brought his mouth to Brian’s and kissed him so tenderly that Brian didn’t want to let him go.  “I love you, Brian Kinney, even if you are getting to be an old man.” He gave Brian one of his killer smiles and started to move to the other side of the bed.  

Brian quickly flipped Justin and spanked him a couple of times with more power than a playful swat.  “That’s to remind you what may come.”

“Just get up and finish packing.  We leave in less than two hours.”

Brinn came into the bedroom, sleepy and tearful.  Justin sat down and she crawled into his lap. “I am going to miss you so much, Daddy.  What am I going to do without you and Dad?”

“Oh, Sweetheart, you can call us anytime you want to.  And Aunt Molly is hoping you will help with Paul. They will sleep here and so will Gus and Shelby.  It sounds like we are going to miss the party.” Justin held her tightly realizing how much he is going to miss their girl.  

Brian picked Brinn up off of Justin’s lap and spun her around, kissing her. He then set her down.  “You need to stop growing, girl. I am not going to be able to pick you up soon.”

“Is that because I am getting bigger or because you are getting older?”  Brinn gave Brian a sassy smile.

Brian set her down.  “Ok, Justin, let’s leave before she calls me an old man.”  He hugged Brinn tightly once more.

“Well, I think everyone will be here in about half an hour. They wanted to have a little party for your birthday before we leave.   I have to put a pan of eggs in the oven for 30 minutes so I better get that started.” Justin said.

“I have everything packed.  Let me start it. You finish packing.” Brian kissed Justin and moaned softly.

“Soon, Baby, very soon,” Justin whispered.  “Trust me, I am in as much pain as you are.”

45 minutes later the table was full.  Everyone was eating and talking. Brinn was feeding eggs to Paul while Justin talked to Molly about her date last night.  “So from the look on your face when you mention Andrew’s name you must have enjoyed yourself.”

“I did.  He was such a gentleman.  The dinner was wonderful and then we took a long drive and looked at the stars.”

“Are you seeing him again?” Justin asked, really wanting to hear from Dan before his sister got too involved with this man.

“He will be out of town this week so I won’t see him again until Friday.  Just take it slow. You have to remember you have Paul to think about, too.  I know you realize that.”

“I haven’t told him about Paul yet.  I just would rather not have people know I have a baby until I know if I want them in my life. It’s not that I am ashamed to be a mother.”

“Oh, I know that, Molly.  You are a great mom.” Justin hugged his little sister.

Gus, Shelby, and Molly had gone in on a present together.  Gus and Shelby had gotten Brian a weekend at the small in they had spent the night at and Molly would watch Brinn whenever they went.

Brian thanked them.  He and Justin had seen pictures of the place but had not gotten there yet.  The Brinn brought a box up to her dad. Brian opened it slowly and in it was a small framed painting.  The painting was of Justin. It was a bit abstract but it was definitely him and there was a love that emanated from the piece.  “Oh, Brinn, I love it. It looks like your Daddy and the painting shows how much love you put into this.

“Well, Dad, I was trying to think about things you love and what you love the most is Daddy.”

Brian put an arm around her waist and looked at Justin.  “You are so right, but you and Gus are a very close second in the love department,”  He kissed her and thanked her again.

Justin looked at the clock, “I hate to break up the party but we have a plane waiting for us.  Did all three of you get the text I sent? It has the resort’s number in case our phones wouldn’t work. We will call when we get there and, Brinn, we will call at least every other day, Ok?”

Brinn’s brilliant blue eyes sparkled with tears and by the time she had hugged them both they were running down her cheeks.  Gus picked up his sister and she put her head down on his shoulder. Gus turned and they walked toward the house. Brinn waved at the car as it grew smaller.

Justin reached for Brian’s hand, “She will be alright, Sunshine. I know she is sad but she is also quite the actress.  She will be fine with Gus and the girls.”

“I know, Baby. I just hate seeing her so sad when we are going to have a wonderful time.”

“Are you sure we have to wait until we get to our destination? I mean we are going to have a whole plane to ourselves with that lovely bedroom.” Brian kissed Justin’s knuckles.  

“Brian, I, god I need you as badly as you need me.  I swear I need to feel you inside me but I think if we hold on for just a little longer.  What is 6 more hours after two weeks?” Justin reached over and slid his hand up and down on Brian’s crotch. He could feel Brian’s discomfort.  His cock was as hard as a rock.

“Oh god, Justin.  It is going to be a long flight.”

Soon they were on the plane and taxiing down the runway. Once they were at cruising altitude Justin stood up, “Let’s go nap.  We can use all the rest we can get.”

Brian stood and pulled Justin into his arms.  His hand began working his hand into the back of Justin’s waistband.  His hand skimmed over the warm flesh and he sighed, “I love you, Sunshine, and even though I don’t know where we are going but I am sure it will be perfect.  And you are right, let’s go lie down. At least I can feel the heat from your body.” Surprisingly they both did fall asleep and didn’t wake up until the pilot announced it was time to take their seats so they could land in Cabo San Lucas.  

Justin looked at Brian, “So?”

“Cabo is perfect.  I private villa?”

“Sorry, but we have a suite with a private pool and I do mean private as well as beach access.”  They held hands as they descended and then as the wheels touched down, Brian took Justin in his arms and pulled him close.  As their lips met they both slipped a hand in the other’s lap. They reluctantly pulled a part as the cockpit door opened.

Under his breath Brian said, “I hope this place is close.”

There was a limo waiting and as the luggage was being stowed in the trunk, Brian and Justin entered the back.  Brian pulled Justin to him and Justin straddled his legs facing him. Gently Justin began rocking his cock against Brian.  They got into a rhythm as the car began to move. Brian pulled Justin close to stop his movement. “Please, Sunshine, I just can’t stand it anymore.  Maybe I am getting old. I don’t think I can restrain myself if you keep doing that.” He just held on to him tightly. Within minutes the car pulled into  the resort and stopped in front of a private entrance.

“Please, here are the cards for your private wing.  No one will bother you. It is all yours. If you need anything just use the phone and someone will assist you quickly.” The driver carried their bags to the door and Brian opened it with the card he had been given.  They entered a small private lobby and then used the same card to get into the room itself.

Justin nodded knowingly to the driver and he nodded back.  And then they were alone. Brian walked to the wall of glass that viewed the Pacific Ocean.  “I hope I am worth what this is setting you back.”

“I am sure it will be worth every cent,” Justin moved to Brian’s side and took his arm.  “Look at that amazing view.”

“You know I didn’t need something this sumptuous.  Any place with you would be fine with me.” He put his arms around Justin and kissed him. “What do you say we check out the rest of the suite?”

They walked into an enormous room with a vaulted ceiling the four poster bed was draped with gauzy material that was blowing in the sea breeze coming through the open doors.  Outside the door was a small pool and tanning area. “The pictures didn’t do it justice.”

“It is amazing, and so are you, Sunshine.”  Brian reached out and began to unbutton the white cotton button down Justin was wearing.  Soon the shirt was off and then Brian unbuttoned his own. Justin reached for Brian’s pants and undid his fly.  Brian did the same to Justin’s and soon they stood naked with smell of the sea in the air. Justin slowly dropped to his knees and took Brian’s cock into his mouth. He slowly began to lick it from the base to the tip. His tongue danced across the tip as Brian struggled to control himself. Brian reached down and pulled Justin up.

“But I have missed that taste.” Justin said as he tried to go back to his knees.

“Do you really think I am going to let our first time together in two weeks be on a quick blowjob? I want to cum deep inside you with my lips locked on yours.”  He led Justin across the room and pulled back the sheets of the bed. He laid him down and straddled him just low enough that he could take Justin’s cock in his hand. He slowly stroked it.  A drop formed on the end and he wiped it off with his thumb. He then brought his thumb to his tongue and licked it. Brian’s eyes nearly rolled back in his head. “I’m an addict getting his first fix in two weeks.”

Brian’s lips trailed up Justin’s body and when he reached Justin’s mouth, their lips came together gently at first but as they continued kissing the pressure increased and the need was too great.  Brian positioned himself with one of Justin’s legs over his shoulder. He pressed steadily and as Justin’s bud gave way to the intrusion, Brian again kissed him as he thrust inward. Justin was very tight after two weeks without sex. He cried out from both pain and pleasure and as Brian began moving in and out Justin thrust upward to meet him.  Brian’s mouth crushed Justin’s and then Brian threw his head back and cried out as his body convulsed. Justin could not hold on any longer. His cum shot between their bodies. Brian slipped out of Justin and then drug his tongue up from Justin’s naval to his mouth following the trail of cum. He sighed as his mouth again came down on Justin’s.  “God I have missed that.” He dropped down on Justin as he forced himself to regain his breath.

“Me too, Baby. Me too.”  

Before moving off Justin, Brian was already getting ready for round two.  He moved partially off Justin and his hand moved down Justin’s body and wrapped itself around Justin’s quickly reacting cock.  Justin moaned as Brian’s mouth moved down slowly. Brian was like a starving man. He feasted on Justin. Brian began stroking Justin’s balls and then moved down lower, trailing his way to the recently used bud.  Brian slipped two fingers in and began to stroke Justin’s prostate. After a few moments of this, Justin couldn’t lay still.

“Hold on if you can, Sunshine.  It will just get better,” Brian added a third finger, stretching Justin further.  Brian began moving them apart, continuing to stimulate him.

Justin focused on Brian’s fingers.  “Turn them, I want to feel you…” Brian added pressure, knowing there was no way Justin could avoid that.   “OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH,” Justin erupted into Brian’s mouth. Brian’s tongue swirled around the deflated penis, cleaning it.

“I am feeling sorry I didn’t bring any toys along.  You are definitely ready to play.”

“Give me a second,” Justin took a couple deep breaths and then he got up and walked to where the bags had been left.  He opened a duffle and came out with a small bag. “Your wish is my command.” Justin dropped the bag onto the bed but then climbed onto Brian’s naked body.  He could feel Brian’s cock bob against his crack. “I’ll take care of that for you if you tell me how you would like me to do that. On second thought, Justin slid down onto the phallus that was always a perfect fit.  Justin turned on it so he faced away from Brian, giving him a perfect view of Justin’s ass moving up and down and seeing his own cock move in and out. Within a few minutes Brian couldn’t hold on any longer. He sat up, pulling Justin against him and thrusting deeply a couple more times before exploding into the welcoming darkness of Justin.

As they recovered next to each other Brian questioned, “So I take it you brought a few of our favorite assistants?” He nodded toward the bag.

“Oh, I did. In fact, let’s take a dip in that inviting pool and then maybe we can see what we have.  Oh, in case you are wondering, I don’t plan to wear clothes for the next couple days for sure. By then we might want to explore the area.”

“By then I am going to have a cardiac arrest.  I will be 50 in a couple days. Oh, we better let the family know we arrived.” Brian reached for his phone.  He hadn’t realized how far away it was and began sliding off the bed in a slow motion movement. Justin grabbed for him trying to stop but instead he lost his balance, too.  They both ended up on the floor arms and legs entangled. “Well, that didn’t go the way I planned,” Brian laughed.

As Justin realized his hand was laying on Brian’s cock he smiled, “I think it turned out just fine.”  Brian texted Gus and Brinn and told them they arrived safely at the resort. Sweet Brinn returned the text with, ‘Love you, Daddies, Miss you.’   Gus’ comment was a little more detailed, ‘Glad to hear you made it. Don’t wear out any parts the first night. Love you both.’

Brian started laughing.  “What is so funny?” Justin asked as his mouth was again grazing on Brian.  As he gave extra attention to one of Brian’s nipples, Brian moaned.

“Gus is warning us not to wear anything out the first night.”  Brian tilted Justin’s head so he had to let go of the hard little pebble.  “We do have an entire week and we have been inside all day and that pool and the ocean and the breeze on your naked body and….”

Justin didn’t say anything but he stood up and offered his hand to Brian who took it.  “Thought now that you are almost 50 you might need a little help.”

“Keep it up and you’re going to have problems sitting down.”

“Promises, promises,” was Justin’s comeback as he headed toward the door with Brian at his heels. Justin dove into the lap pool with Brian right behind him. They came up in each other’s arms. “Wow, this feels amazing.”  

“Yes, it does.” Justin said as he swam away from Brian. Both men swam laps for several minutes.  Brian hoisted his body halfway out of the water and continued kicking the water. Justin came up beside him and as Brian stopped kicking, Justin walked up to the dangling legs.  Brian’s hard ass was out of the water and Justin separated the cheeks and brought his mouth down and ran his tongue through the valley.

“Oh, Sunshine, that feels so….” Justin used his tongue and fingers to massage Brian’s bud. As he continued the blessed torture on Brian, he began to add pressure and soon his tongue dipped in.  At the same time he wrapped an arm around his legs and began to stroke Brian’s water cooled cock. Even at that temperature Justin soon had him erect. Justin’s tongue thrust in over and over at the same his hand moved up and down.

Brian began to arch his back as Justin replaced his tongue with two fingers sending Brian over the edge. Brian’s voice carried as he shouted out.  Justin was a bit worried that someone might report the noise and send someone to check on them. He hoped the sound traveled enough that no one could figure out where it came from.  Brian slid back into the water directly into Justin’s arm. Together they walked out of the pool and laid down on the outside swing bed. In the cool of the shade, with the gentle movement in the breeze, Brian and Justin dozed off.

The next two days were they didn’t leave the suite and they didn’t dress. They ate, they slept, they made love, and they talked.  After making love for the unknown number of times, Justin ran a hand down Brian’s arm and across his stomach. “So tomorrow’s your birthday.  What would be a perfect day?”

“Remember my 30th?”

“Of course I do.  You really were unhappy about the party they threw you weren’t you?”

“I just thought it was the end of my life.  I was just a arrogant punk at that time. Now I look at our life and am thankful for the years.  I mean, look at our kids. Life would never this good if it wasn’t for you and then. I know I owe most of my happiness to you.  Sure I would be rich and sexy without you but,” Brian said with attitude but then looked into Justin's eyes and said, “I would be an empty S.O.B. I would be hollow.” He touched Justin’s cheek.  “I love you, Sunshine.”

“I love you, too.  And it has been great having Molly and Paul at the house.  Brinn is growing too fast and it wouldn’t surprise me if Gus pops the question, making Shelby officially family.”

“I keep hoping he will wise up.  He is too young and there are so many good men out there for him to fuck.  Why is he settling for that mousy older woman when he could have his pick of a different young man every night?”

“Brian, didn’t you just  get done saying that you were a shallow, hollow man before you came to your senses.  What do you have against Shelby?”

“Gus is just too young,”

“Gus is more mature than either of us.  He loves her and she loves him. Why don’t you like her?”

“I have nothing against Shelby, but she isn’t for Gus.”

Justin was getting upset now.  “Don’t you think Gus should choose his own partner?”

“He can choose any man he wants in about 10 years.”

“Brian, I am not having this conversation.  If you can’t see how much they love each other than you are fooling yourself because you are such a reverse homophobe.”  Justin stood up and walked toward the suite. He turned around and said, “Maybe some of that shallow, hollow guy is still alive in there.”

Brian stood and took a step toward him.  “You better stay in the living room for a couple hours.  I need to cool off.” Justin locked the door to the bedroom as he dropped on the bed.  Why did Brian insist they didn’t belong together when it was so obvious they already were one. Justin couldn’t just lay there. Hed stood and started pacing. Why tonight? He should have just shut up. But Brian was being so bullheaded.  Why?

Brian stood in the middle of the living room.  He stared out at the ocean. Why did he feel so naked all of the sudden? Why couldn’t Justin see Gus needed to be with a good man? He belonged with someone who would really love him like Justin loved him.  No woman could love like that. Brian went outside and dove in the pool. He started swimming laps.

Justin heard the splash and stood and watched Brian swim back and forth.  He noticed how tan Brian had gotten already. Damn, why did he have to be so good looking?  He couldn’t figure out what Brian’s problem was. It just didn’t make sense. Well, Brian would just have to figure it out.  He was going to take a shower and then, they would go to dinner, even if it was a silent one.

When Justin came out of the shower, Brian was still swimming laps.  Justin could see how exhausted he was Brian could barely bring his arms around again for each stroke.  As he got to the end of the small pool he struggled to turn around. Justin watched as Brian turned and started swimming to the other end again.  Justin opened the door quietly and walked to the end of the pool that Brian was nearing. Justin sat on the top step and as Brian neared he could tell Brian didn’t even know he was there.  Brian was in his own world.

As Brian began his turn, Justin reached out and touched Brian’s shoulder.  Brian looked over at him and moved into Justin. Justin helped pull in partially out of the water and Brian wrapped his arms around Justin’s waist. He laid his head down on Justin’s upper leg. Justin ran his fingers through Brian’s still thick hair. He could feel Brian breathing hard.

“Sunshine,” Brian tried to talk.

“Darling, don’t try to talk right now.” Justin helped him move out of the water a little further so Brian was sitting on the lowest step.  His head was still resting on Justin. “I don’t know why you you feel the way you do but we’ll talk about it later. I am sure you have a reason, even if you don’t know what it is.  Brian sat up and Justin took him in his arms. Brian looked totally drained after his intense workout. “Why don’t you take a quick shower to wash the chlorine out of your hair and then we have time for a short nap before putting on clothes and going to dinner.”

Brian was like a worn out child.  He stood when Justin prompted him and they walked into the suite together.  Brian’s amber eyes looked into Justin’s crystal blue ones. “Help me?”

Brian’s arms were like spaghetti after the swim so Justin poured shampoo into his hand and lathered Brian’s hair.  He massaged his head under the hot stream of water. Brian slowly turned to face Justin and tilted his head back to get the lather out.  When he looked back down at Justin he softly said, “I’m sorry for what I said. That doesn’t mean it changes my feelings but I had no right to say the things I did about Shelby.  I just have never seen a woman and a man make it and I don’t want him to be hurt.”

“I hope you can change your mind but I appreciate the apology.  I didn’t need to get so angry either.” Justin’s arms went around Brian’s neck and Brian pulled him in close at the waist. They stood there for some time exploring each other’s lips and mouth.  Eventually Justin stepped back a step, “I’ll give you a massage if you are done in here.”

“I will never be done with you, Sunshine, and the massage sounds really good.  My 50 year old shoulders are screaming at me.”

“Just remember, we don’t have time for anything but the massage or a nap.” After they dried off, Justin grabbed some lotion knowing oil would mean another shower.  “Lay down, Baby.” Justin poured lotion into his hands and started at Brian’s calves. He could feel the tightness in them and the muscle definition was amazing. Brian made some noises of pain but Justin continued to rub them until the loosened up. He worked his way up the long legs and when he got to that perfect ass he leaned over and kissed each cheek and after a moment of deep tissue manipulation he continued up adding lotion as he needed to.  As he got to the upper back and shoulders he began to really work out the knots and he saw Brian’s hands fist up as there was some pain but as he felt the muscle relax, so did the fist. As Justin finished with long strokes up the whole spine he had to follow with butterfly kisses. As he neared the back of Brian’s head his head moved his ear and softly said, “I love you, Baby,” Justin’s erect cock slid along Brian’s crack and they both sighed, “I love you so much.”  

Justin rolled off Brian and Brian moved his body overtop of Justin’s, “God, I adore you. You are so amazing.”  Briain’s mouth moved along Justin’s jawline forehead and then his neck where his teeth nibbled.

“Baby, as much as I love this, we need to get ready to go.  It’s your birthday dinner and at midnight, the moment you birthday begins I have something very special planned.  I am your playtoy for the evening. Anything from the toy bag you want me to start with during dinner?”

“Oh, Sunshine, are you sure?  I want to have a long enjoyable dinner.  Can you handle it?”

“I am willing to take anything tonight.  If you want to see just how much I can take I am willing  but I always love feeling just you, too. It is your night.”

Brian dug around in the bag and found a very long strand of small vibrating beads.

“Put that beautiful ass up in the air.”  Brian grabbed a bottle of lube and covered the beads and then began to pop them in one at a time. By the time all of them were in place Justin had a look on his face that made Brian laugh.  When Brian put the beads on the lowest setting Justin’s eyes rolled into the back of his head. He made a noise Brian wasn’t sure he had heard before. When he moved the speed up one notch Justin nearly came undone. Brian turned them off.  

“Get dressed, Sunshine, We have a reservation,” Brian swatted Justin’s ass and then began to rub it as he pulled him closer.  The men kissed but Justin pulled away, “God, we have to get going.”

Brian walked up behind Justin and pulled his still naked body against him. Brian’s cock played with the entrance of Justin’s ass but there was no room for him.  “I think I will dress in the bathroom or we may never get out of here.”

Twenty minutes later both of them stood in the entry waiting for the car. The white button downs against the newly tanned skin made them both more stunning.  Brian’s hand ran through the newly bleached tendrils on Justin’s head. Justin stepped closer and kissed him. “I want this to be your best birthday ever.”

“Justin, I’m with you in  paradise. What could be better?” The car pulled up and Brian guided Justin out the door. They drank tequila in the back of the car as it wound its way up a mountain. A mariachi band was playing at the entry and they were led toward their table.  The place was full of energy and people having fun. The dance floor was crowded and Justin led the way to join in the mayhem. Brian slipped his hand into his pocket and pressed the button on the remote getting an instant reaction from Justin. He began to grind against Brian instantly and it wasn’t long before Brian led him back to the table.  They had a booth in the back that was very secluded. They didn’t order but food started arriving. Little plates with bites of this and that were brought to the table first. There were empanadas, tamales, a couple small bowls of soup, as well as corn chips with guacamole. They shared bites of this and that and drank margaritas.

By now the music had changed.  It had slowed down and couples were swaying in each other’s arms. Justin had almost forgotten about the invasion inside him except for the yearning for more was building.  Brian leaned over and kissed Justin. “Dance with me?” he said softly in Justin’s ear.

“Are you sure you aren’t too tired from your swim? I want you to have some energy later.”

“That will not be a problem, I promise.”  He kissed him again and as he did the vibration deep inside of Justin was nudged up.  

“Ya, I need a distraction now,” Justin said as he stood and Brian followed.  They walked out hand in hand and soon were moving to the music. “Baby, what would make your birthday perfect, if you could have anything.”

“I have everything I could want, Sunshine.”

“Oh, come on.  If you could have absolutely anything on your birthday, what would it be?”

“Hum, well, I guess it would be fun to have some time with the old gang.  I mean I have spent most of my birthdays with them. Even as a kid, Debbie always made me a birthday cake.  It was lopsided and gaudy but it was made with love. Mom made one, too, but hers came with guilt and required me to show my gratitude over and over.  At Debbie’s, there were balloons and noise makers. At home, Joan made a production of cutting a slice and handing it to me, along with a ‘you better grateful, that took me hours of my busy day’.”  Brian got very quiet.

Justin moved even closer to him, putting his head on his shoulder.  “I’m sorry, Darling. I didn’t mean to bring up bad memories.” He kissed him gently and Brian pulled him in so tightly they were nearly one.

“I meant what I said.  You here is all I need.  We have an amazing family and because of you it is as normal as it can be.  You have taught me what family really is.” After another long kiss, they separated both short of breath.

“Baby, please turn them down, not off, just down.  I….oh, god, I am not going to be able to make it if you don’t.”  He felt the vibration go down to just a low buzz deep in his very core. “Let’s go see what they have for us as a main course.”

“Oh, the main course will be had at the room later.  I plan to taste every inch of you.” Brian purred in Justin’s ear as he nipped at the lobe.  Justin groaned as they walked back to the table.

This time dishes of pork, beef, and chicken were brought out along with roasted corn, onions, black beans, rice, and anything else you could imagine.  Of course there was a stack of tortillas to bring everything together. It was the perfect meal to share with bites off each others plates as the meal progressed. As they ate the music went down another notch and now it was just somewhere in the background.

As the plates were cleared, the curtains on the booth were closed with a mention of dessert in thirty minutes. Justin repositioned himself and dropped his head into Brian’s lap. Within seconds Brian’s dick was deep into Justin’s mouth.  Skillfully, Justin brought Brian to the edge and then took him over it. Brian threw his head back and swallowed the noise he wanted to make. Justin started to move upward but Brian held his head where it was and thrust upward a couple more times before letting out a deep but soft sigh and then pulled Justin up, and kissed him.  

“If that is just an appetizer, I may not survive the main course.”

“Well, I don’t plan to rush anything tonight or tomorrow.  The next 24 hours I hope to repeat this activity many others, many times.”  Brian just began to press Justin back onto the seat when a voice came through the curtain.

“Perdónenme, señores, postre. Excuse me, dessert.”  A waiter came through the curtain as Brian zipped up his pants and Justin took a drink.  Two plates were set down. One filled with churros and the other with sopaipillas. There was a chocolate and a caramel dipping sauce. It was served with Mexican coffee spiked with Kahlua.  They fed each other bites of the cinnamon dusted sweets.

Justin held a churro up to Brian’s lips, “you forgot the dip.”

“No, I didn’t.”  Brian took a bite and then Justin drug his finger through the caramel and brought his finger up to Brian’s lips. Brian held Justin’s wrist and took great care in licking off every bit of the sticky sugar mixture. As he did it, he raised the speed of the vibration again.  Justin grasped Brian’s thigh. “Brian, can we get the rest of the dessert to go and maybe a container of the coffee? I can’t wait much longer.”

“You will wait.  I am not nearly done with you yet.” When the waiter checked on them they had him box up the dessert and ordered coffee to go.  

As they strolled out to the car the waiter had brought their treats out to the driver. The driver opened the door for them to get in. “We have one more stop before going back to the resort.” Justin said as Brian turned up the torture.  As Brian’s hand ran down Justin’s crotch he bit his lip trying to cause enough pain that he would forget his need and trembling at the core of his body.

“Why don’t we just go home?”

“Because we have something else to do.” Justin gently repositioned Brian’s hand so it was on his hip but Brian wasn’t going to make it easy.  He moved the hand further back and began running his hand over the seat of his pants, digging his fingers into the seam between the perfect globes. Justin’s body reflexively thrust upward toward Brian.  Brian couldn’t wait. He unzipped Justin’s fly and as he touched his cock, he cried out. “I can’t … control…..”

“Don’t, Sunshine.  I can taste you already.  Don’t make me wait!” With that Justin exploded into Brian’s mouth.  Brian greedily milked his cock causing him to scream out as Brian retrieved every drop he had to offer. Brian pulled Justin back into him and he started putting one hand down the back of Justin’s pants and began playing with the cord connected to the beads.

Justin was thankful the car coasted to a stop.  As they stepped out, Brian felt sand under his shoes.  “Take off your shoes and roll up your pants to the knees.  We can leave it here in the car. It will pick us up later.  When their feet were bare and their pants were rolled, Justin took Brian’s hand and led him to the water’s edge.  There was a large catamaran waiting for them and they waded in the warm water to board. Soon they were sailing off the coast beyond the effects of the lights. They stretched out on a lounger on the top deck  They slowed down and then came to a stop dropping anchor. The first mate told them he and the captain would be in the wheelhouse, leaving a phone to contact them if they needed anything.

When he had left, Justin reached over and began to unbutton Brian’s shirt.  Brian pulled him close. “Look at the stars, Sunshine. I think we can touch them.

Justin laid his head on Brian’s naked chest, looking up at the sky. “How long do we have the boat?”  Brian said softly.

“Until sunrise,”  Justin said as his hand moved down Brian’s body. He followed his hand with his mouth.

“Oh no you don’t! It is my turn.” Brian turned the vibrator up several notches and pushed Justin back and began to undo his shirt.  Justin’s body was a giant nerve ending. Just feeling Brian’s fingers brush his chest had his body totally on fire.

“Brian, I can’t stop it much longer. I need you.  I need that glorious dick of yours….”

Brian stood and dropped his pants before pulling Justin’s off. “Get on your knees, Sunshine.” Brian guided Justin’s chest down to the lounger and Brian began to slowly pull the beads out one at a time.  Justin felt them being removed. He could feel Brian’s hand move to Justin’s cock as he finished removing the beads. and then began feasting on his relaxed ass.

“Oh, Brian, please,” Brian could hear the strain in his voice.  He glanced as his watch and saw it was 11:55 pm. Brian thrust in and held onto Justin’s hips.

“It will be my birthday in five minutes. Hold on until then.” He began to move ever so slowly, in and out. He angled himself to rub his prostate as he moved in and out.

“Brian, I’m going to oh, shit, please.” Justin was pleading in desperation,  ‘God, it hurts so good but the pain,” Justin moaned.

“Are you ready, Sunshine?”

Both men exploded. Brian pulled Justin’s torso up and Justin leaned against him.  “Happy Birthday, Baby. I love you more than you can ever imagine.”

As they laid down, they both shivered as a cool breeze blew over them.  Brian pulled a beach blanket over the two of them and pulled Justin’s naked body against his.  “This couldn’t have been a more perfect birthday.”

“Your birthday has just started, darling,” Justin began.  “I,” he kissed Brian’s collar bone. “Have,” he nipped one nipple, “Lots,” and then the second nipple. “More,” ran his tongue down his abs, “Planned,” his tongue began to fuck Brian’s navel.

“Oh, Sunshine, you are too fuckin’ hot for this old man.  If you don’t mind, can we just relax for a few minutes. I have to admit my little temper tantrum today took a lot out of me.  My arms and shoulders are killing me.”

“Roll over, I’ll…”  

“Justin, we can just sleep for a while.  We have lots of time to love today and the rest of our lives.  You’re not planning on going anywhere soon, are you?”

“If I am lucky, I will never be apart from you. I hate being separated the older we get.” Justin snuggled down next to Brian and he tucked the beach blanket around them.  Soon they were sleeping as the boat rocked gently.

Justin woke up and listened to Brian’s breathing.  His body began to ache with the need of him. He moved downward under the blanket and began to lick and suck Brian’s flaccid cock. In his sleep, Brian’s body began to respond.  The rocking motion of the boat was so gentle. Justin used the motion of the boat as his mouth moved up and down.

“What time is it, Sunshine?”  Brian’s sleepy voice asked as his fingers ran through Justin’s hair.

Justin replied in a muffled voice, “Somewhere about 4:00.”

Brian reached down and pulled Justin up and their mouths met.  “Sunshine, make love to me.”

Justin noticed Brian cringe as he turned his back to him.  Justin slid back down to Brian’s ass and began to run his tongue up and down and began invading him with his tongue.  Justin felt it loosen slowly and then used his finger and added pressure to his prostate.

“Oh shit, Sunshine, you know exactly….aaahhhh….”

Justin started entering him, taking it slow but Brian thrust back and cried out from  his own punishment. The pain ripped through him but Justin couldn’t stop now. He drove in over and over taking them both to orgasm.

They laid together in silence for some time. Justin was still deep inside him. Brian was still trembling.  “What is it, Baby? Are you still in pain? Why did you do that?”

Brian wiped his eyes, trying not to be obvious but Justin knew him too well, “Brian? Baby?”

He slowly disengaged Justin and then turned to face him.  Justin reached over and wiped a tear away with his thumb. He pulled Brian to him letting him cry it out.  He wasn’t sure what was going on but he didn’t care right now. After a few minutes Brian’s breathing was again deep and steady. Justin laid with Brian in his arms and worried. Every year Brian struggled on his birthday but some years it was worse.  Just thinking about Brian as a lonely boy made him hurt inside and Brian internalized everything still to this day. It was his fuckin’ parents that screwed him up. It wasn’t his fault. All Justin could do is be there and he planned to do just that for the rest of his life.

Justin dozed off and on and as the sun began to rise he woke Brian.  This time Brian entered Justin as they viewed the sky slowly burst into colors.  First it was a deep midnight blue but slowly changed to deep red and then slowly to orange and yellow.  Their love making grew in stages like the color of the sky and as the sun appeared they both knew everything was going to be alright.

The men dressed without a word as they heard the anchor being hoisted  and the sails were again unfurled. As the catamaran came into shore Brian and Justin walked through the surf on the way to the car.  The driver had water to wash their feet and they got in the back. The men nibbled on the sopapillas and churros as the car drove toward the resort.

Justin dipped a bit in the caramel and popped it in Brian’s mouth.  His hand went to Brian’s cheek and he softly said, “Are you alright, Darling?”

“I am, Sunshine,” Brian said in a soft but strong voice.  “With you by my side I know I will always be fine.”

As the day went on they again stayed in their room.  They ate, they slept, and they made love on every piece of furniture in the suite.  The kids called and so did Peter and John wishing him a happy birthday. Brian got texts from Ted and Michael to that just said ‘happy birthday’.

Brian noticed Justin was getting more texts than usual in the evening.  He finally asked, “Should I be jealous you are spending more time on the phone than you are with me tonight?”

“Well, considering I lost count after the 6th time we made love today, I know you are not neglected.”

“Is there a problem somewhere?”

“No, it’s just an art studio in Australia that can’t get the time change straight,” he lied.  “We are dealing with a possible show.”

“You aren’t going on a tour in Australia, are you?”

“Not that I know of but if I do, you will be by my side.”

When Brian left him alone on the terrace for a few minutes to get them drinks he quickly made a phone call.  “Ted, I only have a minute. Is everything good?”

“If all our connections come through we will be at your door around 10 a.m.” Ted responded.

“Great see you then.”

“Did I hear you talking to someone?”  Brian kissed Justin and asked as he handed him a drink.

“Oh, ya, I just called the place in Australia and explained I would be in touch next week when I wasn’t on vacation.  Now, I don’t know about you but I am tired. Let’s go to sleep. Notice I specified sleep and not just to bed?”

“I don’t know if I could get it up again tonight no matter how much I wanted,” Brian literally crawled onto the bed and dropped onto his back.  

As Justin got in he prodded for Brian to roll on his stomach.  “I thought you were too tired..”

“Shut up, Brian.  I am just going to work out some of the kinks in your shoulders and back.  We still have three days and I don’t want you falling apart on me before our trip is up.  That was all Brian remembered. Moments later he was asleep. He mumbled something sweet as Justin got off of him and curled up next to him.  He hoped he wasn’t too excited to sleep. And he hoped Brian really liked his surprise.

Meanwhile, back at the vineyard, Molly was preparing for another date with Andrew.  He had let her know he had made it back in town today and tomorrow, Friday, he was planning on picking her up and was taking her to the next town over to try out a new restaurant. Molly had bought some new lingerie at the shop and if she was lucky she might get to show it off, at least to some degree.  She didn’t think she was ready to go all the way yet but that didn’t mean she couldn’t show off some of the merchandise. Her nerves were already building but everything was set and she couldn’t wait to see the handsome man again.
