YOUNG GUYS PAIRING OFF
The continuing story.   Comments welcome to Cgard43@hotmail.com

12.  Closer and Closer

	When Eddie awoke, he felt Bill sleeping peacefully beside him, and he bent
and gently kissed him on the forehead, brushing a lock of Bill's blond hair
to one side. His mind raced, thinking of the events of the last couple of
days, particularly since that first night with Bill.

	He'd wanted Bill since they'd first met, but he'd never believed anything
would ever come of it. He was so sure that Bill, of all people, was totally
straight.  Now here Bill was, an eager, willing and wonderful sex partner.
What's more, he'd said he cared for Eddie, and that he wanted more than just
sex too.  Silently, Eddie smiled to himself a very satisfied smile.

	Eddie had waited so long to have his love returned by someone he wanted so
much that he was now overwhelmed with emotion. Tears began to well up in his
eyes, and he couldn't stop them.

	Bill stirred and Eddie closed his eyes tightly to hide the tears. Bill
noticed them, however, and quickly took Eddie in his arms, holding him
tightly.

	"What's the matter, honey?" Bill said, his voice filled with concern.

	Eddie's eyes flew open at the word, and Bill's earnest blue eyes shown as
he looked at his buddy intently.

	"I'm sorry. Shouldn't I have said that?" Bill asked quietly, but Eddie just
nodded and smiled at him.

	"No, it's not that," Eddie whispered, "That's just what I've always wanted
to hear someone I like say."

	"Eddie," Bill said, "I've never felt like this about anyone before." He
held him tightly against his body.

	"Oh God, you're wonderful. I'm so happy," Eddie said and the tears flowed
again, but these were tears of joy. Bill understood and continued to hold
him tightly until he was quiet again.

	"Are you okay?" Bill said gently.

	"More than you'll ever know." Eddie answered, "You make me feel so good. I
mean it's just unbelievable how good I feel."

	He paused for a moment then went on, expressing his concerns.

	"I hope it's not just this place, or being in the same room," Eddie said,
"I hope we go on feeling that way once we get back home."

	"Don't worry about that," Bill said, "I'm not going to change. We'll just
take each day as it comes, and everything's going to be fine.  Okay?"

	"Yeah, I'm okay," Eddie said, smiling warmly now.

	They embraced again, kissing passionately, and as Bill's hands roamed over
Eddie's body he gently touched his buddy's ass.

	"You all right today?" he asked quietly, "I mean..."

	"I'm fine," Eddie said, smiling and his eyes twinkling. "You want to go
again?" Bill moaned sensuously and they cuddled even closer, until Bill
pulled away suddenly.

	"Well, right now, I've gotta get up, at least for a minute," Bill said, as
he headed for the bathroom.

	"We'll save it for later, then, anytime you want," Eddie said with a grin,
pulling on his shorts and a robe, "Meanwhile, I'll go out and make us some
coffee."

	Eddie and Bill sat drinking their first cup of coffee in the kitchen when
Duke walked out of the bedroom.

	"Jim's chopping down the forest," Duke said, pouring himself a cup of
coffee, "I couldn't take it any more." Eddie and Bill both smiled at him.

	"You sure do have a way with words," Bill said.

	"I'm not criticizing him," Duke said, somewhat agitated, "I could have just
said he's snoring instead."

	"I know," Bill said calmly, "I meant I thought what you said was clever."

	"Hey, did you guys hear any strange noises this morning?" Duke asked.

	"What do you mean?" Bill asked.

	"Well, it was real early this morning. I thought I heard something crashing
outside, but I listened and then didn't hear it again."

	"What time?" Eddie asked and Duke said about five o'clock or so.

	"I went back to sleep, and then later I thought I heard a noise coming from
somewhere in the house.  I couldn't figure out what it was."

	"I didn't hear anything. Did you, Eddie?" Bill asked. Eddie shook his head.

	The door to Duke and Jim's room opened and Jim staggered out.

	"You look all done in," Bill said, laughing, "What did Duke do to you last
night?"

	Jim started, but a glance at Duke told him it was just a joke.

	"Why are you guys always picking on me?" Jim asked. Duke got up and poured
him a cup of coffee, and handed it to him.

	"Don't let them bother you, Jim," Duke said, "Just ignore them."

	"I like that," Bill said, "David protecting Goliath."

	The other guys laughed, and even Jim was amused by it.

	"Let's get dressed," Duke said, "Then if Joe and Bert aren't up, we'll go
in and toss them out of bed."

	"Hey," Eddie said, "Nobody did that to you when you slept in yesterday."

	"I'm just kidding," Duke said in frustration, "Hell, nobody can take a
joke."

	"It's okay," Bill said, standing and walking toward Duke, "We know you're
kidding. We were just standing up for them. Come on, comedy king, let's get
dressed first." He grabbed Duke by the shoulder and led him toward the
bedrooms.

	As they headed into their respective rooms, Bill walked by Jim and Duke's
room and noticed that one bed was made up. He wondered about it.

	"Must be Duke," he thought, "Jim wouldn't be the type."

	Thinking of that, he quickly made both beds in their room, the one he and
Eddie had slept in and the one he'd messed up purposely. Then he showered
and got dressed and returned to the kitchen. Eddie then headed into the
shower as did Jim when Duke returned a few minutes later.

	Bill decided to fix some frozen waffles for breakfast and was puttering
around as Duke set the table. Duke started to whistle.

	"You sure are in a good mood this morning," Bill said, "I'm glad."

	"Thanks, Bill," Duke said, "You really are a nice guy. Yep, I feel terrific
today."  He got out the study course materials and started reading the plan
for the second day.

	"Oh shit," he said.

	"What's the matter?" Bill asked.

	"We're supposed to have a truth session," Duke said, starting to read the
description from the book. "It says we're each supposed to tell a secret
about ourselves to the group, something we don't think they know."

	"Oh God," Bill laughed suddenly, "I'm starting to think like you."

	"What do you mean?" Duke asked.

	"Well, when you first read that, I almost said, 'You can tell them how long
your dick is' and that sounds like a remark you'd make."

	"Well, maybe," Duke conceded, "but, after that game the other night,
everybody knows anyway."

	"Right," Bill agreed. "We all know that about each other."

	"Maybe we should just skip this part and go play tennis again," Duke
suggested.

	"You really have deep, dark secrets like that?" Bill asked in some
puzzlement.

	"No," Duke said quietly then tried to joke, "Well, maybe one or two."

	Bill started to ask something then stopped himself. Just then, Joe walked
into the kitchen. He was fully dressed, and even more perky than usual.

	"Well, you seem cheerful," said Bill, "Have a good night?"

	"You bet," Joe said, "And wait till we tell you about our nocturnal
visitor."

	"What?" Bill and Duke asked. Joe shook his head and wouldn't tell them
anything more.

	"Nope," said Joe, "I promised to wait until Bert got up to tell you."

	Bert was still in his robe when the rest were dressed and ready for
breakfast. Joe and Bert told the story about the bear, carefully leaving out
the part about Bert trying to alert the others.

	They all looked out at the messy trash area, agreeing that an early chore
that morning was to get all that cleaned up and put the lids on tighter.

	"That must have been the first noise I heard," Duke said, "I wonder what
the other one was." He went on to describe the second noise as kind of a
crashing sound like something falling.

	"I don't know what that could have been," Bert said, turning to wink at Joe
as he headed off to take his shower. Joe just smiled.

	When Bert returned, the guys had breakfast, then Duke read the training
manual for the second day. First came sales skills and motivation exercises
that proved to be pretty interesting. It took until just before lunchtime,
when they decided to take a break, agreeing to have lunch later.

	They agreed to regroup in an hour or so, then have lunch and do the
afternoon part of the program.

	"Let's go for a walk," Bill suggested. Eddie agreed right away and the two
of them set off walking down to the lake. Duke and Jim decided to play
tennis again, while Joe and Bert decided to set out to try and track the
bear. No one commented on the natural division, as each pair set off to do
something with his own roommate.


13. Couples Alone

	Bill and Eddie walked toward the lake, holding hands once they had passed a
large copse of trees that blocked the view from the lodge. They talked first
about the morning training sessions, which they'd both found very
interesting.

	When they got to the lake, they sat down on the grass and soon were holding
and kissing each other. This went on for sometime, and then Bill mentioned
Duke's great concern about the afternoon 'truth' session.

	"Can you keep a secret?" Eddie asked him quietly.

	"Well sure," Bill said, "as well as anybody, I guess."

	"Okay," Eddie said, "But you've got to promise. I think I know the reason
that Duke's so concerned about that exercise this afternoon."

	"Really?" Bill asked, surprised.

	"Yes. I think it's because he's gay but he doesn't want anybody else to
know."

	"What?" Bill said surprised, "He is? I know he kids about things like that,
but I thought it was just joking."

	"No, I don't think so," Eddie said. Bill didn't ask how Eddie knew, and
decided not to tell him about Bert being gay too.

	"I can understand his concern," Bill said. "If Jim knew that, there would
really be hell to pay. I can't see Jim accepting it very well."

	"That applies to him knowing about us too," Eddie said quietly. Bill
laughed.

	"You know, I don't think about us that way," he said, "We're just two guys
who like each other a lot. It seems perfectly normal to me."

	"I know," Eddie said, "It does to me too, but you've got to face the fact
that in the eyes of other people we're gay or queer or fags or whatever
other name they want to use."

	They sat quietly, both thinking.

	"I don't care what they call us," Bill said, drawing Eddie into an embrace,
"I know what I am, and I know I want you. I think you want to be with me too
and that's all that matters."

	Eddie moaned as they kissed repeatedly, their lovemaking growing more
passionate and sensuous.

	"You know where this is leading, don't you?" Eddie whispered.

	"Uh-huh," Bill murmured, "I know where it's leading me. To the cock of the
sexiest guy in the world." He quickly moved down Eddie's body and undid his
pants, opening his fly and drawing out his large, and now very hard cock.

	"This is beautiful," Bill said taking Eddie's cock in his hand, "And it's
so big."

	"It's not that much bigger than yours," Eddie answered quietly, blushing
slightly.

	"You're wrong, but I don't care. I love it!" Bill said, as he sucked the
first half of Eddie's cock into his mouth while Eddie moaned sensuously.

	"So is this," he said, turning around and groping Bill's crotch. He quickly
undid his pants and sucked Bill's hard cock into his mouth

	Bill had been thinking about how Eddie had taken his whole cock into his
mouth and had made up his mind he was going to take Eddie's cock that way,
no matter what it took.

	He realized quickly that he had to position himself the right way and that
he needed to relax his throat muscles to do it. He tried various positions
and angles, and finally he succeeded and the head of Eddie's cock slid down
into his throat.

	"Oh, my God," Eddie called out, "That's wonderful! Suck it like that
again!"

	"Uh-huh," Bill mumbled, unable to talk as he did what Eddie asked. Eddie
was sucking almost all of Bill's seven and a half-inch cock into his mouth
too, and for some minutes, they were each deep throating the other's meat to
the fullest.

	Eddie's sucking felt terrific, and Bill felt his climax approaching but
tried to fight it, wanting to satisfy the big cock stuffed in my mouth
first. Eddie was so good, however, and was exciting him so much that he
couldn't control it and his cock erupted as Eddie sucked it deeply into his
mouth.

	"Mmm," Eddie groaned, savoring the taste of the juice Bill was feeding him.
He continued sucking his buddy's cock softly, and began fucking his cock
deeper and deeper into Bill's mouth as he sucked it. Suddenly, Eddie cried
out.

	"Oh, yes, Bill! You've got me so hot...I'm gonna come! Oh yes!"

	Bill braced himself as he felt the huge cock start to spasm and erupt deep
in his throat. He moved back to taste Eddie's delicious man juices, then
swallowed quickly as the volcanic load of cum continued to shoot deep in his
mouth. When it had subsided, Bill again sucked Eddie's cock deep into his
throat again, and held it there for some time before releasing it.

	"Wow!" Eddie said. "Hardly anybody's ever managed to take all of my cock
like that. It felt wild."

	 "Now you know what us guys with shorter ones get to feel," Bill laughed,
then said seriously, "Besides, I want to be good enough so that you'll quit
auditioning anyone else." Eddie laughed heartily, reaching out to touch
Bill's face gently.

	"You are," Eddie whispered. "I don't want anyone else but you. Turn around
here and kiss me," he said, taking Bill into his arms and holding him as
their mouths met in a deep, tongue-exploring kiss.

	"I love you," Eddie said after several minutes, "There, I said it and I
hope it doesn't make you uncomfortable."

	"I'm not sure what all these feelings mean, but I think I love you too,"
Bill answered, "I know I never liked anyone else the way I do you, and I
want to find out everything there is to know about you."

	They talked at length about themselves and their feelings, quickly getting
to a point where there were no secrets they couldn't share. Both felt
wonderful, and as he stretched out next to Bill, Eddie felt a contentment
that he'd never known before.

	"Bill," Eddie said finally, "You know we were talking before about not
letting the other guys know about us."

	"Yeah," Bill nodded, "I think that's for the best."

	"Well," Eddie went on, "There's no way I can keep this from my best friend,
and he also works for the company. But you don't have to be concerned."

	"Who?" Bill asked, now very curious, "Is he really just a friend?"

	"Just that," Eddie smiled, "We've been friends for almost ten years. We
even went to high school and college together. His name is Kevin Kowles, and
he works in the research group."

	"Oh, I know who he is," Bill said, "He's a good-looking young guy, kind of
tall and slim, with light brown hair."

	"Yes," Eddie acknowledged, "That's him. He's my best friend."

	"Is he...?" Bill started.

	"Yes he's gay," Eddie interrupted, "but I told you, we're just friends."

	"I believe you," Bill replied, "But you must admit, he is good-looking."
Eddie nodded, and Bill smiled broadly, "Gee, now that I know he's gay,
maybe...."

	"None of that," Eddie said, a rather pouty look coming into his face, but
Bill headed it off.

	"Come on, honey," Bill said, "I'm just teasing you.  At least for a very
long time, you're more than I can even try to handle." He put his arms
around Eddie and kissed him very tenderly, and Eddie sighed deeply, relaxing
and snuggling into his buddy's embrace.
