Chapter 7

As Gus and Seth made their way to the LA area they talked about the weekend ahead.  Both of their phones sounded within a minute of each other. Seth looked at his and saw it was from Bella.  “It looks like our wives are having a great time.”

“Read mine,” Gus said.

“It won’t be personal?”

“By now you know my family doesn’t do personal,” they both laughed.

“Yes, I have noticed that,” Gus used his thumb print to get into the phone for Seth and he opened the screen. 

“Here goes.  ‘Hey Gussy,’ Gussy?”

“Ya, it is what Brinn called me a lot when she was little,” he blushed a bit.

“It fits you.” He went on ‘we are enjoying the spa.  Brian did amazing. Love you. Have a good time.’”

“Can you just text,Driving,  love you too.” Seth texted the message for him.  “Oh, and can you say, ‘I miss our kids already.’”

“They are great kids.  We talked about kids but it just never happened. I guess we felt complete without them although as we get older, I wonder if we will miss the extended family.”

“Well, if you stay around you have one now.  We always have room for strays.” Gus smiled over at Seth and patted his shoulder. “And I saw Isabella working my pops.  If a woman can handle our crazy family, you are one of us.” Both Seth and Gus laughed.

“Yes, I got really lucky when I found her.  She loves me with all my faults.”

“I haven’t seen too many of those,” Gus smiled.  “You seem like a great guy who supports his wife, who is stunning by the way.”

“Yes, she is gorgeous and just to warn you, if you ever just drop by the house, it wouldn’t be unusual for her to answer the door naked.  She rarely wears clothes around the house.”

“Don’t tell too many people that, Seth, or you will be getting lots of men dropping by.”

“Yes, you are probably right. It wouldn’t be the first time.  I guess nobody around here would care but there are times we have had an open marriage.  We never hid it from each other and we love each other but if someone came along that showed interest, we went for it.  Too sad I haven’t aged as well as she has.”

“Don’t sell yourself short.  I have seen you walk down the street.  Women notice you.”

“That is kind of you to say even if it isn’t true.”

“You have that ‘cool’ vibe.  You exude musician. Once you pick up the guitar you could have anyone in the room.” When Gus got finished he blushed a bit. 

Seth pulled out his phone and started playing some of the songs they planned to do tomorrow and started reworking the vocals without Tyler.  Soon the miles were flying past as they looked forward to tomorrow.

After an afternoon at the spa the women went back to the suite.  Isabella strode into the living room naked, causing Molly to choke on the wine she was sipping.  “Hope you don’t mind,” she said as she dropped onto the sofa. “I really hate clothes. I grew up in what you would probably call a commune. It wasn’t any weird religious thing but we just did our own thing and clothes was always optional.”

“No wonder you get along with Brian so well.  I think he would go around the house nude if he could.”

“I would pay to see that!” Bella poured herself a glass of wine.  “Actually I’d pay to see everyone of the men that were there on Labor Day naked. So much beauty in your family.”

“I can only imagine what it is like when Brian, Justin, Dan, and Marcus go away for the weekend.”  Shelby commented as she drained her glass and poured another.

“You mean those four…” Isabella got very interested.

“Oh, ya, I don’t know who can do who.  I think they have rules, but they definitely play nice together.”

“Come on, ladies.  This is my brother you are talking about.”

“And he is SO hot.  Has he always been gorgeous?  That almost too long blonde hair and those eyes, the same color as yours actually.”  Bella reached over and brushed Molly’s hair away from her face. “How about you, Molly?  Do you and Tyler ever play with others? Together or separately?”

“Oh, no,” Molly stammered a little bit.  She knew she was much more reserved than most of her family.  “Tyler is more than enough for me. My first husband was….let’s just say Tyler has everything he didn’t have and so much more.”

“That’s cool. I would never want to make someone uncomfortable.  I’ll bet you have never kissed a woman, have you?”

“Not really.  I mean in college during a game of truth or dare, I did a couple times but not a real kiss.” Molly looked over at Shelby, “We talked about it once long ago.”

“Yes, we did but never acted on it,” Shelby responded as she pulled her shirt off.  “I have to admit I could do without this!” she slipped off her bra and for a moment she slipped her hand over her now flat stomach and traced the small scar from her surgery.  Luckily most of it was done through her vagina so it wasn’t super noticeable. By now I planned to be pretty big with breasts twice this size.”

 Isabella stood and crossed over to where she sat, “Don’t doubt how beautiful you are,” she leaned close and laying a hand on Shelby’s stomach she kissed her. “I have a feeling you have done this before,” she said as her hand slid up and cupped one of her breasts, stroking her nipple.

Shelby accepted the kiss and moved her own hand downward and slipped her fingers between her legs but then she withdrew them quickly, “I’m sorry, maybe we can play later but before dinner.  We need to save something for later.” 

“I will take you up on that later.  I wasn’t wrong, was I? You have been adventurous?”

“Well, when she started dating Gus, Gus was dating Lucky!” Molly said and giggled.  

“And who might Lucky be?”

“He is a gorgeous male nurse that has been with the family a couple of times after injuries,” Shelby replied.  “He is a very nice guy but I couldn’t share the man I loved with a man that didn’t love him.”

Isabella’s ears perked up, “SO Gus is bi?  Has he given men up altogether?”

“We’re open about it.  It’s been over three years since he has been with a guy, but I think he is starting to have the urge again.  But that’s my fault. We haven’t been able to have sex in the last couple months. Well, we did have anal on Labor Day but the poor guy has to have blue balls by now.”

“Are you sure he hasn’t well…”

“No, he hasn’t. I trust him. I told him all he has to do is tell me.  I love him too much to have him unhappy.”

“I know that feeling.  I can’t imagine my life without Seth but we have always been open to new experiences.” She was silent for a moment. “Well, how about we get dressed up for a night out. Brian got us reservations right? We can get dressed, have a drink, and then eat at the amazing restaurant.  I looked it up and it is beyond anything we could have ever afforded. Seth is generous but we just aren’t in the Kinney league.”  

An hour later the women were ready to leave.  They all looked stunning. “Look out, San Francisco!   We are ready to show the city how to have fun!” Bella put an arm around each woman and they stepped into their private elevator.  Shelby looked at the other two women and said, “Let’s see if this Black Card Brian gave me has a limit.”

Gus pulled into the parking lot, “Seth, we’re here. Time to wake up.”

Seth stretched, “Guess I fell asleep.”  

“Yes, you did.  I am sure you know you snore.”

“I was sleeping that sound?  Sorry about that. This has been my first getaway in months.  Just like you I love my wife but, sometimes you just need a weekend with the boys.  Too bad Tyler had to work.”

“Ya, he works really hard in dangerous situations.  Next time he’ll make it.”

Gus found a place to park near the door.  “Why don’t you wait here. I’ll check us in and get the cart to bring our stuff in.”

A few minutes later a bellman came out with Gus.  Gus and Seth helped him load up the cart and then Gus said, “They have a table we can have in the restaurant if you don’t mind just eating here.  It’s been a long drive. I could just use a steak and a bottle of bourbon to bring to the room.”

“That’s fine with me.” Seth said as they followed their things into the hotel.  

Gus handed the bellman $100.  “Just put them inside the room, please.  We appreciate it.” The young man was thrilled at his tip and pushed the cart onto the elevator.

“You have always had money, haven’t you?”

“I guess I have.  Well, when I lived with my moms not as much but my dads got me anything I needed but I always had chores, just like other kids.  All my parents thought that was important. I know I had it easy though. What was your childhood like?”

“Let’s order food first then we can tell stories.” Seth put a hand on Gus’ shoulder as they walked into the restaurant.  They were shown to the table and they both ordered a steak and told the server to bring a bottle to the table.  

Gus sipped the amber liquid and looked at Seth.  “So what is your story, Seth? Where’d you grow up?”

“I grew up in the midwest, outside of Minneapolis.  I am an only child to educated parents who made a good living and I had everything I needed but we were nowhere in your league.  We lived in a nice four bedroom and owned a lakefront vacation home in Iowa. I am sure you have a few more places than that.”

“I grew up in Pittsburgh except for a couple years in Canada with my moms.  My dads own a downtown apartment and an estate there. My cousin Peter and his wife live there.  They have a place in New York City, although Dan really owns that, and they have a place in Ibiza.”

“Wow, I’ve always wanted to go to Ibiza.”

“Talk nice and I can probably get you the keys for a couple weeks.” Gus smiled over at him.  He really liked Seth. He was starting to really like this good looking man. He drained his glass and poured another. He topped off Seth’s, too.  

“So you insinuated you had a story to tell me about your time in a band.” 

The waitstaff walked up with their meals.  “Just in time. I need to eat something before I am totally wasted.” They were quiet as they cut their steaks and began to eat.  Seth had ordered a T-bone while Gus had chosen a swordfish steak. As they ate Seth smiled, “You may have grown up in Pittsburgh but you are a California boy now.  I grew up on beef so when I can get a good steak…”

“But taste this!” Gus put a fork full of swordfish up to Seth’s lips.  Seth held Gus’ hand and opened his mouth, using his tongue and lips he removed the steak from the fork.  Gus could feel his touch long after he had let go of his hand.. He felt his cock wake up and silently scolded himself.  He had never crushed on a straight man before. What was he doing?

Seth felt some tension in the air and smiled.  “That is really good. Maybe I will have to expand my horizons and try that next time.”

As they finished their meals they decided to take dessert to go and go upstairs with the rest of our bottle.  Gus had drank a little too much and as the elevator started moving he had lost his balance. Seth had put an arm around his waist and Gus leaned against him, dropping his head on his shoulder. Seth pulled him close as he held the bag with their desserts and the half empty bottle.  “Steady, we are almost there.” Gus leaned against him more. He could have walked fine but he liked the feel of Seth’s body. He’d like to feel more of it. As they stepped off the car he ‘accidentally’ brushed Seth’s ass with his hand and Gus was almost sure he heard Seth take in a deep breath.

As Gus opened the door, Seth thought he seemed a lot more stable than he had just minutes ago. “So, Gus, why did you leave the band.  I looked back a bit online and you and this Jamie fella, had a promising future. I saw Jamie was still on the circuit. He isn’t why you left is he?”

“No, well, it kind of starts earlier than that.  I started taking guitar lessons when I was about 13.  I was just permanently with my dads but the teacher well, he tried forcing me to have sex with him.  I was so confused. I didn’t know if I liked girls or boys and after that scare I didn’t want anything to do with men. Well, as I got older I really didn’t have a preference who I dated.  It was just whether I liked them or not. I met Jamie and started falling for him. He was a couple years older than me but he had years of experience I didn’t have. Our relationship grew and after I had made love to him several times he showed me what it was like to have someone who cared about you make love to you.  God, I couldn’t get enough of him or him of me.” Gus continued to sip the bourbon as he talked and soon Gus was feeling really tired. He left his head drop onto Seth’s shoulder and soon Seth was taking the glass from his hand.

Gus mumbled something about bed and Seth nearly carried him to one of the bedrooms.    He pulled off Gus’ jeans and then his shirt. Seth looked at his slim body and kissed his forehead.  “Goodnight, Gus. I’ll see you in the morning.” He started to move away but Gus caught his hand.

“Stay.  I hate to sleep alone.” Gus moved toward the center of the bed as Seth hesitated but then stripped to his briefs and got in behind Gus.  Gus turned and after throwing his arm across Seth’s broad chest he shut his eyes and slept.

San Francisco was a great city to party in.  Isabella knew the area quite well and after a great dinner they went out dancing.  Bella kept changing partners but Shelby and Molly stuck together mostly. Shelby realized how out of shape she was   When she sat down to rest, Bella took Molly out on the dance floor. As a new song started the tempo had slowed and Bella pulled her close.  

“Relax, Molly.  I won’t bite unless you ask me to.” Bella pulled her close so their bodies were pressed together tightly.  Molly was very relaxed and gave into her curves. “Boss, I promise I would never do this at work but may I kiss you?”

Molly was feeling very uninhibited after drinking for several hours and instead of verbally answering her she leaned in.  Isabella claimed her lips. It was not an intrusive kiss. It was soft and sweet and when Bella stepped back, Molly almost moved toward her again.  

Molly pulled herself together, “I think we should get Shelby back to the hotel.  She is looking really tired. She’s had a rough month.”

As they walked, Bella said, “Yes, I never had the urge to have children.  I love them but I knew I wouldn’t be a good mom. I am too selfish. But you both are great moms and I’m glad you will share your kids with me.”  They arrived at the table, “Let’s go back to that amazing suite and enjoy another bottle of wine in the comfort of our own rooms.”

The women took a taxi back and all of them got out of their evening clothes and slipped into the comfortable hotel robes.  They opened a bottle of wine and all of them sat on the sofa. Bella and Shelby shared a couple playful kisses around Molly who was sitting between them.

“God, I wish Tyler was here.  I am so horny,” Molly said.

Shelby smirked at Bella, “Mol, we could help you with that.”  She kissed her gently and stood up. Offering one hand to each of the women, directing her comment to Bella she said, “Let’s go help our friend out.” 

“I don’t know, ladies….”

“Do you think Tyler would be upset?” Shelby asked her.

“I think he would think it was hot.”

“Well, let us help you turn your husband on,” Bella said as she lead her to the bed.  “Just tell us to stop if you need to stop. Lay down, beautiful.” She then looked up at Shelby, “You comfortable with this?”

In response, Shelby laid down next to Molly and kissed her, “We talked about this long ago.  Now we are going to actually do it. Relax Mol. None of us are a threat to you and Tyler. It is a one time deal but you are curious. Let’s show you what you missed in your youth.”  As she started kissing her again, Isabella got rid of her own robe and then untied Molly’s and Shelby’s. Bella ran a thumb over Shelby’s nipple and then did the same to Molly’s. She shivered.

Next thing Molly knew Bella’s mouth was on her clit and with Shelby kissing her so sweetly, her body convulsed as she orgasmed. It took her a minute to realize Bella was still licking her, causing her to shutter again.

Shelby glanced down at Molly and had to laugh.  “So Molly?”

“I missed out during college,” Molly said and all three of the women laughed.  “I love Tyler and would never want to be with anyone else. That hard, dark…..” she shivered again, “I will always want him but if I would have been a little more relaxed I could have had a lot of fun when I was younger.”  Molly playfully kissed Shelby and then Isabella kissed her as her tongue probed deep into her mouth. As she moved back, Molly questioned, “Is that what I taste like? Tyler always says I taste good. Guess that is all a matter of opinion.”  

They all got under the blankets and dozed off.  When Shelby woke later she felt Isabella sliding in bed behind her. Not wanting to wake Molly Isabella whispered, “I thought you might need a little release yourself.You seem to be having trouble sleeping.”

“I...that’s not what is keeping me awake.”

“What is?”

“Please don’t say anything to anyone, but I’m afraid I’m going to lose Gus.  I, he would never leave me because of the kids, but he is missing something. I don’t think I can give him everything he needs.”

“Maybe you have to give a little of him up to keep him.”

“But I want to be all he needs.” Shelby slipped into the comfort of Isabella’s arms.

“Maybe you just have to accept the fact that if he can be himself, he can be there for you.” Shelby let her hand drift down and moved between her legs. As Shelby began to stroke Bella, Bella guided Shelby’s mouth down to her breast and then laid back letting herself be taken over by what Shelby was doing to her.

Seth couldn’t sleep.  He thought Gus would move away but instead he had pressed himself against him, and had now laid his head on Seth’s chest.  As the sun began to rise, Gus stirred. He looked up at Seth’s face and in his sleep haze he stretched up and kissed Seth. As he brushed his lips on Seth’s warm mouth he realized what he was doing.

“God, Seth, I’m sorry, I….”

Seth turned so Gus was below him and slowly lowered his head giving Gus plenty of time to protest but instead Gus lifted his head to meet him.  Seth’s tongue entered Gus’s waiting mouth and Gus’ tongue teased Seth’s and he groaned. Gus’ hand traveled down Seth’s back and moved under the briefs to rest on his ass.  He worked his hand around to the front pulling the briefs down. He slowly worked his way down Seth’s body, tasting and teasing the firm, warm skin. When Gus’ mouth slowly sank onto his stiff cock he sighed.

“Holy Shit, Gus.  You are so hot! I need to…..”

“Do you have condoms? We need condoms.”

“DAMN!” Seth swore.

“Oh, well, I guess we….” He took Seth back in his mouth as his finger began to slip into his back door. Gus went right for the prostate and as he touched it he tasted Seth in his throat and soon Seth lost total control.  He thrust over and over into Gus’ throat as Gus’ tongue stroked him over and over.  

Seth pulled Gus up so he could kiss him.  What had they done? What had they started!  Seth didn’t care at the moment. It was his turn and he moved down and pulled Gus’ briefs off. He turned Gus so his back was to him.  He reached around and began to stroke Gus’ cock as he brought his tongue to the valley between Gus’ cheeks and as he began to probe around the prize and as he worked it into that bud and he felt the cock in his hand jerk.  He pressed his thumb on the end rubbing the precum around as he toyed with the small opening at the tip. 

Gus began to tremble from head to toe.  He cried out as Seth’s tongue went in farther than he had ever felt before and Gus was shattered.  Now, with Gus in his arms, Seth had no trouble sleeping.

The women spent the day shopping while the men went to the music festival.  The set Gus and Seth played early in the day was a huge hit. They were asked to return to the main stage later that night at 9:00, the top slot for the evening to join a couple other top groups.  They listened to some other great groups. They had an unspoken agreement that what happened this morning would not be obvious throughout their activities. They decided to go back to the hotel to eat dinner and change for the night show.  They stopped at a drugstore and as they entered the room they both threw a large box of condoms on the table and then stepped into each other’s arms.  

After a kiss, Gus stepped back, “I think we need to wait. I don’t want to rush our first time.” He reached over and brushed Seth’s hair back.  “Did you know this would happen?”

Seth pulled him close, “I expected it to be a boy’s weekend with Tyler here.  I could only dream about this. God, Gus, you are so perfect.”

“No, I’m not.  I’m a horrible husband.  I...we had an agreement. Before I stepped I I need to tell her but I ….”

“How could you know this was going to happen? Now that it did, you just need to tell her.  She loves you and she knows you. You will tell her and she will accept it. Now let’s order something to eat and get changed for tonight.”

“Seth,” Gus touched his cheek, “Thanks.”  

As they ate their dinner they both received texts from their wives.  It sounded like they were having a good time and Seth could tell by what Isabella said that the girls had been playing, too.  He never worried about Bella playing. She loved him but had enough sexuality to share with others. He had never tried to wrangle her in and never would.  He loved that spark in her.

“So, is Shelby having a good time?”

“She says your wife knows how to party.”

“Oh, that part is true.  My guess is they have played a bit too.  Bella wouldn’t let those two beautiful women go without a little play.”

“Isabella is bi, too?”

“Isabella loves life and has no preferences when it comes to sex. Well, I guess she would prefer me the most but that’s partly because I let her be free.”

“I wish Shelby didn’t take it so personally.  I love her and the kids so much but I have other needs she just can’t fill.”

Danny had taken her into town today. While he met his boyfriend, Britt at the coffee shop, she funneled a little more money out of her account.  When Danny had stopped making out with Britt, he drove her back home. She started to tell Danny about her plans but he stopped her.

“Tia, you know I don’t think you should do this but if you think you have to I don’t want any of the details.  Please don’t tell me when you’re going or where you’re going.”

“Ok, Danny. I do understand.  Can you come over tomorrow for a while or will you be too busy with homework.”

“Is it going to be that soon?”

“Are you going to be able to come tomorrow?”

“I’ll come after lunch.  Tia, are you sure of this? I mean your dads are going to be crushed.”

“They’ll get over it.  They have Taylor and Gage.  And Daddy’s been….” her voice hitched for the first time.  “Daddy will never let me see her no matter how much Dad talks to him and they have each other.  Mom has no one.”

“Tia….I am….”

“Danny, please, not now.  Can we meet up at our spot tomorrow?” 

“I’ll let you know what time tomorrow afternoon.” Danny said as she got out of the car.

Later, Saturday night, Brinn spread everything she had accumulated out in her studio. Her reloadable Visa card had $3000 on it at the moment and she had finally figured out how to tap into her bank account and move money without it being traceable.  She would move it through several steps before $5000 more would end up in her mom’s account. Even if Dan tracked it, by the time he found it, they would have moved it to her card and they would be in the wind. They had started talking about where to go.  They had talked about going to Ibiza or Italy but they decided Mexico was better. They wouldn’t have to fly anywhere. Tina was buying a car for them to drive down. The good thing is the car title would not be in her name. All Brinn had to do was get to their meeting point Monday.  Tina would let her know when she was near.

When Brinn went to bed Saturday evening her dads were putting Gage back in his bed for the third time. They had said goodnight over their shoulders but then returned their attention to Gage and Taylor.  

Brian and Justin moved to their own room.  “I should go say goodnight to Brinn. I keep hoping she will open up.  For Brinn to be taking only one college course just isn’t keeping her busy enough and I know she is doing some painting but….she needs to find something that excites her.”

“Now that Shelby is nearly back to normal, I will spend some time with her.  Maybe she would like to visit Becca and Peter. Maybe Becca could figure out what is going on.”

“Sunshine, we both know what is going on.  She wants to see Tina.”

“Well, that isn’t happening!  I won’t talk about that.”

“That’s part of the problem.” Brian mumbled under his breath.

“I’m too tired to do this again. Screw me and then I need to sleep.”

“Oh, such a romantic.” Brian said softly as he put his hand on the back of Justin’s neck. Slowly lowering his mouth, he said, “I love you, Justin.  I love our kids but neither of them are babies anymore. Brinn is almost 15. Are we really able to keep her away from Tina until she’s 18?”

Justin broke away from him.  “Guess we aren’t screwing tonight. Don’t touch me.”  And that was the end of their conversation for the evening.

Isabella could tell the mood was different tonight and that was cool.  The other two women were missing their kids. They had a much calmer evening.  After going out to eat they came back to the suite and drank wine in the hot tub.  All three of them talked about their childhoods and families. Molly had them laughing when she talked about how she would tease Justin and his reaction but then she got quieter as she remembered the fights between her parents after Justin left and then as they divorced.

“You  ok, Molly?”  Shelby put her arm around her.  

“Ya, I was just thinking about what Justin really went through.  He had to grow up really fast. If it wasn’t for Brian and Debbie, I’m not sure he would have made it.”  She then spent the next half hour talking about Debbie. Isabella decided she would like Debbie. As the women got out and dried off, they decided to sleep in and go out for brunch before heading home.  They hoped to be there by 3:00 or so. That would give them time to play with their kids before bed. They knew Gus and Seth wouldn’t be home until much later.  

As Bella got in bed she checked her messages, the only thing it said was, ‘Love you, Bella’ and then one more line, ‘Gus is beautiful’.  She hoped Gus didn’t hurt him. As she began to doze she let her mind wander. She pictured her beautiful Seth embedded deep in Gus and she slowly stroked herself until she climaxed and then  curled up and fell asleep.

Seth and Gus were cheered back on stage for one more song three times.  Gus had missed this. He loved seeing people enjoying his music. As they ran off the stage for the last time he hurled himself into Seth’s arms.  Seth couldn’t resist anymore. He pulled him behind one of the huge speakers and his mouth came down on Gus’ as his hand cupped Gus’ ass and pulled him close.  They both responded at the feel of each other through their jeans.

“Let’s get out of here.  I want you so badly!” Gus groaned in his ear.  They packed up their guitars and headed to the SUV.   After loading them into the back, Gus pinned Seth against the vehicle and pressed his lips as well as his entire body against him. “I hope you plan on being up all night.”

“I do, and I plan on being awake, too!” Seth laughed as he picked Gus off the ground and let Gus feel how ‘up’ he was. 

The ten minute drive to the hotel was almost too much.  As the entered the elevator car, Gus slipped his hand into Seth’s jeans and felt how large Seth really was.  When he had him in his mouth last night he could tell he was large but the girth of it was huge.

“Can you handle that?  Some men can’t and if you can’t I’ll understand.  You can screw me all night long.”

“Trust me, I can handle it. Just give me time to adjust.”

“If it takes all night,” he whispered as the doors opened and they fell out of it almost taking out another couple waiting to get on.  “Oh, sorry. Excuse us.”

“Hey, weren’t you two just playing at the festival?”  The gentleman asked.

“Um, ya, we were,” Gus said.

“I thought you said you were married.”  They looked from one to the other.

Seth wrapped an arm tightly around Gus, “Well, yes.  Yes we are. We’re married, not dead.” He threw Gus over his shoulder and headed down the hall. He walked passed their room and then turned to make sure they had actually gotten on the elevator.  When he was sure they had, he lead Gus back to their suite. Before the door was locked, they both had their clothes off. They were both ready. As they headed to the bedroom, Gus grabbed the condoms and Seth grabbed a bottle of wine and a glass.  

“Don’t we need two glasses? Of course, I don’t mind sharing.”

“You are going to be taking your alcohol in another way,” Seth grinned.

“Another way?”

“Yes, I don’t want to hurt you so I am hoping to use this to help you loosen up but first I want you to take me.  I want to feel that pain and pleasure.”

Gus wasn’t going to argue, his erection almost hurt at this point. Seth bent over and kissed Gus’ erection and then slipped a condom over it.

“What’s most comfortable for you?” 

“Hell, I don’t want comfortable.  Drill me now, please. I promise you romance later.  It has been so long!”

“Get on the bed on all fours.  If you really want to be drilled that is the best position.”  Seth did as he was told and in one move, Gus buried himself completely in Seth as Seth roared, first in pain but then in joy as he felt Gus move in and out. Somehow it felt like Seth pulled him in further. Gus grabbed his hips and began thrusting as hard as he could and Seth just moaned in satisfaction as the fulfillment grew and grew until Seth clamped around him as he exploded sending Gus over with him. He collapsed on the bed and Gus fell with him. Seth pulled Gus to him and fused his mouth to his. He began to work his mouth lower, down Gus’ neck and to his chest.  When he latched on to one of his nipples, Gus wasn’t sure what he was doing with his tongue but Gus nearly climbed out of his own skin at the feel of it.

“I need you, Seth.  I need you.”

“Put your chest on the bed, your ass in the air,” as Gus did so he heard Seth open the bottle of wine.  He filled his glass nearly to the rim and then turned to Gus. “See how this bottled is tapered? If I use the bottle to stretch you, it will be more comfortable when I enter you, plus, the wine will definitely relax you.”

Seth massaged Gus’ bud with his finger with lube.  At the first entry Gus’ sighed. Seth did it a couple more times and then he ran some lube around the neck of the bottle.  He added just a little pressure to the bottle and the top of it slipped in. Gus made a noise of surprise and Seth kissed him at the base of his spine as he tilted the bottle slightly.  It wasn’t long before Gus had a warm spread over him and when Seth noticed he pressed the bottle in further. 

Gus took in a deep breath, “Oh, god, Seth…” his voice was shaky.

“Gus, you may need to use the bathroom before …..” he tilted the bottle to add more liquid.

“Seth, please.  I’m ready for you.  I want to feel you spread me open.”

“Let me walk you to the bathroom and get rid of that wine,” Gus used Seth to steady himself and he quickly emptied the wine from his body. His whole body felt warm from   the effect of the wine and the need for Seth. Gus bent over the sink.

“Please, Seth, please.”

“Are you sure you want to here?”

“Oh,god, Seth, YES!”

“Tell me if you need me to slow down,” Seth said as he started pushing in steadily. The head sank in and Gus’ knees nearly buckled.  “Are you Ok?”

“Oh, it has just been so long,” Gus almost cried, enjoying the feel. 

Seth wrapped his arm tightly around Gus’ waist and thrust after thrust he actually lifted Gus off the ground. Simultaneously, the two men climaxed.  Seth didn’t want to leave Gus’ tight ass. He could see Gus’ face in the mirror and was tears running down Gus’ cheeks.

“Oh, Gus, did I hurt you? I’m so sorry.  I should…”

Gus let him slip out of him and turned to kiss Seth.  “Oh, no, darling, it was perfect. I, it has been so long since I have been with a man.  Shelby, before Gabriel, would ….did her best but it isn’t the same. Seth lifted him so he was sitting on the counter and after quickly removing the condom, he pulled Gus to the edge up against his already responding cock.  They rubbed them 

together as Seth moved in and out slightly just to cause friction. Gus wrapped his legs around Seth’s waist, not wanting to break the contact. 

Seth brought his mouth down to Gus’ ear, “Go start the shower.  I’m going to get some condoms.”

It was 6:00 a.m. before they fell into an exhausted sleep.  Neither had ever felt like this with someone before and both were fairly sure they never would again.

Brinn had waited for one of her dads to come and say goodnight but neither of them came.She was sure now they wouldn’t miss her much.  She would contact them in a couple weeks or a month so they knew she was alright but it was time for her to move on. Today was her last full day here.  She planned to spend time with her niece and nephew and then her afternoon with Danny. Gus and Shelby should be home by the evening and she hoped she could spend time with them.  Then she would be ready to see her mom on Monday.. Her only regret was that she didn’t get a chance to see her John. She would contact him somehow soon. She just wanted to say goodbye to him, too.

Brinn heard Gage and Taylor talking not so quietly in the guest room so she went to join them.  The three of them sat on the bed and she listened to them both chatter on and on about their completely exciting activities.  She smiled at how simple and happy their lives were.  

Brinn was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard her name. “Brinny, I’m hungry.” Gage said as he crawled into her lap.

“Would you like some scrambled eggs and toast?”

“With cheese?”  Taylor added.

“Sure!” She stood up and they both scrambled off the bed. With one holding each hand, she helped them up on the stools by the counter and she took out eggs, cheese, and bread.  She answered all their silly little questions as she popped toast in the toaster and then poured the eggs she had scrambled into the frying pan. She gave each of the kids a butter knife and when the toast popped up she gave them each a slice to butter.  Soon the three of them were eating cheesy warm eggs while Brinn told them silly stories. 

Justin and Brian quietly entered the kitchen. Brian wrapped his arms around Justin from behind and kissed him below his ear.  “We aren’t needed here. Let’s go back to bed.”  

Just then the kids noticed them.  “Papa! Papa!”

As the started to get off their stools, Justin walked over, “Finish your breakfast. We’ll come to you.”  Both of them walked over and kissed both of the little ones and then, as what she thought was an afterthought, they kissed Brinn, too.   Brinn turned and hugged both her fathers and held onto them a little longer than she should. She quickly stood up and said she needed the bathroom.  As she left the room, tears started running down her face. She would miss them so much. Would they miss her at all?

The San Francisco trip was coming to an end.  The women had slept well and then decided to have brunch delivered to their suite instead of going out. They ordered several dishes so they had plenty of options. They all joked about not getting an $18,000 suite every trip.  Shelby was fairly sure Brian had gotten the suite complimentary. For all she knew he owned part of the hotel chain.  

Shelby had texted Gus but still hadn’t heard from him an hour later. “Isabella, have you heard from Seth this morning?”

“No, my guess is Seth stayed up late jamming and probably drank a fifth on his own.  It’s the life of a musician.”

“Ya, that is probably why Gus hasn’t responded.  The only place he’s performed since I have known him was Wine and Design.  I guess I’m not used to having him live the musician’s life.”

“Seth and I agreed long ago that when we are apart, we can do what we want.  I don’t want to hear about it. I know he loves me and always comes back to my bed and if you saw how that man was built below the waist…..” she whistled long and low.  “I get wet just thinking about the size of him.”

They all laughed at her reaction and the other two said they had nothing to complain about in that department.  

“I just can’t wait to get Gus in bed.  The poor guy has been on restriction for so long and I decided last night I am tired of waiting.  I can’t wait for him to make every nerve ending in my body scream out.” She shuddered at the thought.

“You know I have to forget he’s my nephew when you talk like that.” Molly grimised a bit but then they all laughed. “I’m ready to see my babies and see if Brenda knows anything about Tyler’s mission this time.”

As the women were packing up the vehicle to head home Gus was waking up.  He moved his leg and pain shot through every cell of his body but it was exquisite pain.  Gus slowly rolled over not wanting to disturb Seth. He was trying to figure out what had happened this weekend.  He had fallen in love. That wasn’t a question. It was a statement. He loved this man. He wasn’t sure how it had happened so quickly but he knew he had a major problem but he would figure out what to do about it when he got  home. Shelby could never find out about it. It would shatter her.

Gus couldn’t resist any longer.  He reached out and ran his finger along Seth’s jawline and then down the column of his throat.  Slowly Seth moved his hand to take Gus’ and brought Gus’ fingers to his mouth. He kissed the tip of each one.

“Good morning.” Seth said and then he started kissing Gus’ arm and eventually he pulled him close and kissed his willing lips. When they separated Seth asked, “How are you feeling?  You have to hurt. I can’t believe how often we…” he let his hand moved down Gus’ back and as he slipped his finger into Gus he saw him flinch a bit.

“Yes, I have some aches but it was so worth it.  We better get going. If we are going to drive home, yet today. It is after noon already.”

“Gus, I have to ask. Will Shelby be alright with this?  What kind of agreement do you have?”

“I am supposed to tell her before but she would accept this if I tell her I had sex with a man.  I’m not sure that she will ever be ok with us making love. I random stranger, yes. A family friend….  Seth, I can’t do this with you ever again.”

“Oh, god, don’t say that, Gus.  I don’t know if I can….. At least stay with me today.  We can come up with an excuse and go back tomorrow.”

Gus nodded as he found himself pressed tightly against this man he needed so badly.  Seth was so gentle. He could tell how sore Gus was so when they were ready to make love, he took a condom but instead of putting it on himself, he slipped it on Gus and then positioned himself so Gus could enter him and yet they could kiss and touch as they got into a rhythm.  As they spun out of control, they both climaxed and Seth pulled Gus down on him. 

“Gus,” Seth ran his fingers through his dark locks, “I have been with a lot of men, but there is something special about you….between us.  This isn’t normal. We aren’t just fucking. I think I’m…”

“Stop!  Don’t say anything that we can’t forget.  We are in each other’s lives because of work and that isn’t going to change but I can’t do this.  I can’t be torn between the two of you. I made a commitment to Shelby and we have our kids.”

Seth kissed him, “Gus, I won’t push this.  I promise I won’t make another advance but we have a connection and no matter how much you fight it, we can’t ignore it.”

Gus relaxed a little bit, “Let me text Shelly and then I want that thick dick back inside me.”

“Well, in that case, while you text, I’ll get you ready

Gus wasn’t used to lying to Shelby, he couldn’t decide what to tell her and it wasn’t helping with Seth flicking his tongue in his ear as his finger was stroking his prostate. “God, Seth, I can’t think.  What should I tell her…..” Involuntarily, his body started to move back toward Seth’s hand.

“What would make you walk funny? You fell on a dick and broke your ass?”  Seth slipped a second finger into Gus and he heard Gus’ intake of breath.

“Damn, you’re right.” Gus started writing his message.  He quoted it as he entered it. “Shelly,so sorry but not coming home until tomorrow. I slipped coming off stage last night and fell hard on my ass.  Don’t think I could sit for 5 hours.” Gus tossed his phone on the nightstand and reached back to guide Seth’s hips as Seth pressed inward. Once his head had entered he waited until he felt Gus relax  and then he sunk the rest of the way in. He wrapped his arm around Gus and stayed where he was. He stroked Gus’ cock but refused to move. “Relax G. Just feel me.”

Moments later Seth realized that might have been a mistake.  Gus started to tremble and before Seth realized what was happening, Gus was sobbing. “G. What is it?”

“I  like this too much.  How can I hide this from Shelly?  How can I do this to her? I lied to her!  I don’t lie to my wife!”

Seth needed to distract him, quickly.  He began moving and soon Gus forgot his mental stress and cried out over and over due to both the pain and the pleasure he was experiencing.  His emotions were all over the place and at the moment he didn’t care. He had found this amazing man and even if it was only for one weekend, well, maybe they could have a couple a year, he would be satisfied with that. Yes, if he knew he could be with Seth a couple times a year, he could live happily ever after with his wife and kids.

Shelby was just getting behind the wheel when her phone pinged.  She looked at the message. “Oh, no! Poor Gussy and poor me!”

“What’s wrong?”  Molly questioned but Isabella was just waiting to hear the excuse.

“Gus slipped coming offstage last night.  He fell on that beautiful ass of his, that of course has no padding, and bruised his tailbone. He hopes he can manage to sit for four hours tomorrow.”

“Well,  I’m glad he didn’t break a leg or something.”  Molly commented.

Bella was thinking that was pretty clever.  It would explain why he was walking funny when he got home. Bella knew firsthand how difficult it was to adjust to her husband’s size.  She envied Gus having that experience for the first time...well by now, knowing her husband, it would be the fourth or fifth or sixth time.  “Hope Gus is alright. Oh, and you had big plans for tonight.”

“Well, there’s always tomorrow.  Instead, I think I will sleep with my two little sweethearts tonight.”

Shelby dropped Molly off first and Jenna and Paul came running out as she stopped.  Paul carried his mom’s bag for her as she carried her little girl. It was good to be home.  Next, Shelby stopped at Isabella’s. “Did you hear from Seth? Is he upset that he has to stay another day?”

“I didn’t get a message but he knows we are together.  He goes with the flow. He is probably just keeping Gus company and making him as comfortable as he can.”  

“I’ll have to thank him for helping Gus out when I see him next,” Shelby  walked to the door with Isabella.

Isabella kissed Shelby and then pulled her in for one more kiss.  “There, I got that out of my system. Gus is a lucky man. He has an extremely hot wife who loves him dearly.”

“He’s my life.  Without him and the kids, I don’t know what I’d be.”

“Shelby, I know you love your husband and kids but don’t forget what an amazing, intelligent, beautiful woman you are with or without your family.”

Shelby hugged Isabella.  She wasn’t sure why she was feeling so unsettled but Bella just made her feel a lot better.  “Thanks, Bella. I’m glad you’re here.”  

As Shelby drove away, Isabella said to herself, “I hope you continue to feel that way.”

At 2:00 p.m. Brinn got a text from Danny.  ‘Meet below the waterfall at 3:00’

At 2:30 Brinn told her dads she was meeting Danny and would be home by dinner.  

“Brinn, you’ve been quiet today.  Is everything alright?” Justin put an arm around his daughter.

“Ya, I just had something I wanted to talk to Gus about and now he isn’t coming home until tomorrow.”

“Maybe I can help you.”

“No, Daddy.  It’s a brother, sister thing.” Brinn walked out the door.  She really was upset that Gus wasn’t coming home today. What if she had to leave before he got home?  She didn’t know when she would see her only brother again, maybe she never would. She got on one of the four wheelers and headed toward their spot. She got to the waterfall path ahead of Danny.  She walked part of the way up the path and then heard Danny coming. Brinn had to leave but the thought of never seeing Danny again. How old would her niece and nephew be the next time she saw them?  What if they had another one she never even met? By the time Danny got off his ride Brinn hurled herself into his arms.

“Tia, why are you doing this? Your dads will miss you.  I’ll miss you. Please don’t leave.”

“Oh, Danny, if there was another way I wouldn’t but Daddy will never let me see her and I can’t live without her anymore.  And face it, my dads have enough going on. They don’t need me. I am just causing them more stress.”

“Tia, I,”  he kissed Brinn with more feeling than ever before.  Brinn’s arms went around his neck.  

When they separated, Brinn said, “I’ll let you know I’m Ok every once in a while.  I will use a different email each time but I will keep each email address open for 24 hours, so if you need to get a message to me, send it that way.  I will delete it at the end of 24 hours.”

“Tia, I don’t want you to go.  Who will I talk to?”

“Danny, you have Britt now.  He’s a great guy. Have you two…”

“No, next week.  You know you are going to miss my birthday.”

“I’m sorry, Danny.  I do have something for you.” She went to the four wheeler and opened one of the storage bins.  She handed him a gift.  

“Should I open it now or wait until my birthday.”

“Open it now.”

Danny took off the wrapping paper and stared at the painting in his hand.  It was a portrait of the two of them together. “Oh, Tia, it is amazing. I love it!  You are so talented. Tia, please….what do I tell your dads? You know they are going to question me.”

“Tell them I am fine and not to worry because I am with my mom.”

“Damn it, Tia! I don’t want you to go.  You’re the best friend I have ever had.” Danny’s eyes welled up and tears spilled down his cheeks.  “I love you, Tia Brinn Taylor-Kinney.”

“I love you, too, Danny Jacobs, soon to be Reed.  We’ll meet again. If nothing else, next year when you are in college, I’ll come visit, wherever you are.”  Brinn turned away. “Goodbye, Danny.” Brinn got her ride and sped away. She stopped by the old cottages where she had started stockpiling some of the things she wanted to take, and then went back to the house.  Tomorrow at this time she and her mom would be in Mexico.

Gus woke unsure what time it was.  The sun was setting so he guessed it was sometime after 7:00.  He realized he heard water running and he carefully stood up and waddled to the bathroom.  Seth stood by the tub and was pouring bath salts into it. He glanced up and saw Gus standing in the doorway. “Hey, G. I thought a bath might feel good.  I also ordered dinner for us. It won’t be here for at least an hour, so we have lots of time.”

“I wish we really had a lot of time.” Gus walked over to Seth and put his arms around his neck.  The kiss was long and gentle and by the time they separated they were both erect. Gus started to drop to his knees.

“G, I am started to feel dehydrated,” he smiled at him. “I think we both could use a little quiet time. I wish I had a candle.”  He turned his phone to flashlight and set it to the side and turned off the lights in the bathroom. Some additional light filtered in from the bedside table.  Seth got into the tub and offered his hand. Gus climbed in. It was a large tub but not as big as his at home. He laid on his side between Seth’s legs and put his shoulder under Seth’s arm.  He barely had to tilt his head and Seth’s mouth brushed his. Gus’ arm came up around his neck and for the next several minutes they savored each other. When they finally separated Gus dropped his head onto Seth’s chest.

“G?”

“Yes, Seth.”

“What happened the last two day?”

“I really am not sure. What I am sure of is that I don’t think I  can live without you but I don’t know how to fit you….no, that’s not right.  You deserve so much more than me fitting you in.”

“But G, we both chose a wife.  Fitting someone in might be all we can do.  What are you thinking?”

“Well, a couple weekends away a year unless we can come up with a gig we play a little more regularly.”

“G, can we really see each other and not want what we had this weekend.”

“We are going to have to try. Shelly understands my need for a man for sex but I don’t think she will stay with me if I have another relationship.  What about Isabella?”

“Bella understands.  As long as I don’t bring another woman home.  She is all the woman I could ever want. And G, you’re all….”

“Don’t Seth, please, just don’t.”

They kissed once more, “We should probably get out of here.  Dinner will arrive soon,” Seth said as he ran his hand down Gus’ cheek.  As Gus stood up, Seth asked, is your ass feeling any better?”

“Yes, I think the soak did help a little.”  They dried off and slipped on robes. Dinner arrived and they ate it talking about their childhoods.  They laughed a lot and when they finished their meal, Seth rolled the cart into the hallway and then turned off the lights.  Gus walked into the bedroom and dropped his robe and Seth dropped his directly on top of Gus’.  

“Gus, it’s time to sleep. You need to heal.  Next time we are going to be together, maybe you can stretch a little ahead of time.  I hate seeing you in pain.”

“But the pain tells me this wasn’t a dream.  None of this was a dream.” Gus laid down and Seth spooned up against him.

“It wasn’t  a dream…” Seth’s hand rested on Gus’ cock.  “Fuck!”

Seth turned Gus over and as they kissed they went through the motions until they both trembled and once again they came at the same time.  Seth rolled off of him and pulled Gus against him. Once he was sure Gus was asleep, he whispered, “I love you, G.” Seth tightened his arms and slipped off to sleep.
