LOVE OF A LIFETIME


PART 34

     I drove down to the Charlotte airport to meet Andy's plane the day
before Thanksgiving.  He had a direct flight from O'Hare, but he hadn't
been able to leave Chicago until nearly 8:00 p.m. Central Time meaning that
he wasn't scheduled to arrive in Charlotte until nearly 11:00 our time.
Neither Andy nor I are real night owls, so I stopped and got a room at one
of the motels near the airport before going to meet him.

     His plane came in right on time.  He came out of the gate, and I gave
him a big hug right there in the middle of the airport.

     "Wow!  I haven't gotten one of those from you in a long time."

     "Well, you can thank Justin and Gary Williams for that.  Both of them
practiced a little amateur psychology on me last weekend."

     We walked arm in arm down the concourse toward the baggage claim area
unmindful of the looks were getting in the crowded airport.  I didn't care.
I was with my man, and I wanted the whole world to know how happy I was.

     I'd left a bottle of wine chilling in the ice bucket in the motel
room.  Andy's eyebrows raised when he saw the wine.

     "Are we celebrating something?"

     I closed the door and kissed him.  "Yes, we're celebrating having you
here for Thanksgiving, and we're celebrating having me come back into
reality."

     He held me tightly.  "And just what does that mean?"

     "Last weekend Justin and Gary Williams helped me realize that I
couldn't keep pushing people away and that the only way to get over what
Brad did to me is to let the people who love me do just that.  You've been
very patient and understanding with me.  I want to have this night be the
start of the next chapter in our lives."

     I kissed the skin under his chin and above his Adam's apple.  I knew
that was a sure turn on for him.

     His knees buckled a little, and he arched his head back as I began to
nibble gently on his neck while loosening his tie at the same time.

     "No fair!  I haven't had a shower yet.  I've been going like crazy all
day."

     I tugged his suit coat off and started on the buttons of his shirt.
"I don't care if you haven't had a shower in the last week."

     He pulled away laughing.  "Oh, no.  Believe me when I say I need a
shower.  You pour some wine, and I'll be out in a minute."

     He ducked into the bathroom and closed the door.  A moment later I
heard the shower running.

     I poured some of the wine for us, placed Andy's glass on the bedside
table, pulled back the covers of the bed, stripped off my clothes, and
climbed into the bed.  I didn't have to wait long.  He must have come close
to setting the record for the world's quickest shower.  He emerged from the
bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.  My lover was already
tenting out the front of the towel.

     I held out the wine glass to him as he dropped the towel and slid
under the covers with me.

     He raised his glass.  "Here's to new chapters."

     "To a new beginning."

     "C.Z., I can't wait until next fall to be with you again.  Leaving you
to go back to Chicago last time almost drove me crazy.  I want to move back
with you after Christmas."

     "Can you do that?  Do we have enough money?"

     "It'll be tight, but I think we can make it.  I'll pick up a part-time
job somewhere, and we'll manage.  I just can't be away from you for another
eight or nine months.  I almost lost you when Brad Miller tried to kill
you.  I wouldn't have been able to go on if something had happened to you."

     I lay my head on his chest.  His chest hair tickled my nose as I
inhaled my lover's scent.  I ran my hand down under the covers and found
his hardening manhood.  He moaned and held me more tightly as his hands
moved slowly up and down my back sending shivers along my spine and into my
groin.

     He set his wine glass down on the bedside table and rolled over on top
of me.  His fully erect penis pressed against my own.  He started with
small, gentle kisses on my forehead working down to my eyes, cheeks, lips,
chin, ears, neck, and collar bones.  He lifted my arm and gently pressed
his face into the hair of my pit where he began licking and kissing his way
down the inside of my arm to my forearm and wrist before kissing the palm
of my hand and each finger.  I tried to pull him down to me, but he
resisted.  He moved to my other armpit and repeated the sensuous path from
there to my finger tips.  My dick was leaking precum like crazy, and he
hadn't been any where south of my chest yet!

     Andy threw the covers off the bed and moved down to my feet.  He
sucked each one of my toes into his mouth in turn and then ran his tongue
around each ankle.  I spread my legs as far apart as possible, and he moved
in between them kissing and licking his way up my calf and thigh to the
edge of my pubic hair.  Once again he ignored my throbbing dick and
returned to the other leg.  This time, when he reached my pubic hair, he
slid his tongue down under my balls to the sensitive skin of my perineum.

     I knew what he wanted, and I was ready for it.  I was finally ready!
All I could think of was having Andy's cock buried deep within me, and I
knew it would complete the healing started by Gary Williams and Justin.

     "Condoms and lube are next to the lamp."

     Andy knelt over me and kissed me deeply as he applied the lube to my
waiting hole.  I moaned in pleasure and anticipation as his finger moved
inside me spreading the lubricant into my love canal.  I watched as he put
a little lube on his dick, opened the foil package, and rolled the condom
down over his hard prick.  We had never used condoms before, but we would
be using them for the next several months.  After being violated by Brad, I
couldn't take any chances with Andy's health; until we could be sure I was
clean, we would be using protection.

     Andy positioned his dick at the entrance to my hole and began his slow
penetration.  It hurt at first, and I had an instant of panic as thoughts
of Brad's abuse flooded my mind.  I quickly chased the dark thoughts away.
This was Andy.  This was my lover, my mate.  This was the love of my life.
I relaxed, and Andy continued to slide inward until I felt his pubic hair
against my perineum.

     Andy hooked his arms under my knees helping to spread my legs.  He
bent down and began probing my mouth with his tongue even as he probed my
ass with his dick.  As his rhythm increased, he broke our kiss.  I put my
hands behind his neck and held his head near me.  Our eyes locked and we
gazed at each other as he moved faster and faster.

     I could see his excitement building in the tensing of the muscles
around his mouth, but he never looked away.  His pole was running over my
prostate with every stroke.  I was getting close.  Somehow I held his gaze
as the first spasms shook my body and my hot cum hit my chin.  He thrust
into me, and I felt his dick expand inside me as my rectal muscles
contracted around him.

     He moved in and kissed me before collapsing on top of me.  I must have
shot the load of the century because I could feel my cum spreading between
our bodies from chest to groin as he lay on top of me.

                       **********

     We got up early the next morning and drove back up to Adams.  Doc and
Matt were having a big Thanksgiving dinner, and we had to get our part of
the dinner ready to take out to Doc's in the early afternoon.  Doc and Matt
were doing the turkey and dressing.  Kevin and Kathy Williams were bringing
the desserts; Jason and Cory had been assigned the task of getting the
mashed potatoes ready; our assignment was the vegetables and relishes.

     Justin and Megan were down in Charlotte since Justin's folks were
having a big Thanksgiving dinner as well.  Not only was Megan joining them
in Charlotte, but Brian was taking Sergei down to meet all of the family as
well.  Poor Sergei had been extremely nervous about meeting all of his new
boyfriends family.  Megan, Brian, and Justin had been trying to ease his
nervousness for the entire week before Thanksgiving, but they hadn't been
entirely successful.  He was still sighing and muttering occasional phrases
in Russian before they left.

     As usual, everything at Doc's worked out fine.  The only place I'd
ever seen a turkey as large as the one Doc had cooked was in some Normal
Rockwell painting, but our crew sure didn't match a Norman Rockwell type
image of a traditional extended family.  There were three children, one
married couple, three gay couples, and one big dog around the table.
Wouldn't that have caused old Norman to swallow his pipe.

     Andy and I wanted to do something for our landlords, the Williamses.
They had become such good friends.  We finally decided that we would have
the three Williams kids spend the night in our apartment giving Kevin and
Kathy a totally kid-free evening.

     About seven in the evening, we loaded the three kids and Larsen into
Kathy's station wagon and headed back to the apartment.  Kevin and Kathy
would use my truck to return to town later.

     Back at the apartment, we had the kids retrieve their pajamas and
clothes for the next morning from their house before settling in to watch a
couple of movies from Blockbuster.  Heather (12) and Allison (10) weren't
real happy with the arrangements at first.  They complained that they were
old enough to spend the evening in their house with out having
"babysitters."  After I explained that the idea was to allow their parents
to have a free evening, they came around.  Gary (7) was all for the sleep
over at our apartment; after all he was over anyway most weekend mornings
to eat Froot Loops while the rest of his family slept in.

     The kids all settled on the floor to watch the movies.  Larsen settled
right in the middle of them.  I swear that darn dog had a big smile on his
face.

     After the videos, Heather and Allison disappeared into Justin's room
while I started to get Cory's old air mattress ready for Gary in our room.

     "Can I sleep in the bed with you and Andy?"

     "No, Tiger.  You're getting to be such a big boy that it would make it
real crowded if you slept with Andy and me."

     "Can Larsen sleep with me on the air mattress?"

     "Sure.  I'm sure Larsen would like that.  You could make sure he
doesn't get cold at night."

     He giggled at that one.  "Larsen's got a fur coat.  He'll keep me
warm."

     "He does a good job of that.  You'd better get your pj's on.  Your
bed's almost ready."

     "C.Z., you don't wear pj's."

     "No, Tiger, I don't."

     "Does Andy wear pj's?"

     "No.  You know he doesn't."  I started to get an idea where this
conversation was going, and I was hoping I could come up with some
brilliant escape strategy quickly.  Andy was standing in the doorway with a
very amused look on his face.

     "My dad doesn't wear pj's.  He sleeps naked like you and Andy and
Justin."

     "Older boys and men often sleep naked or in their underwear.  Younger
guys wear pj's."

     "How old were you when you started sleeping naked?"

     "Yeah, C.Z., just how old were you?"  Andy added from the doorway.

     I turned to him.  I was rapidly losing the upper hand in this
conversation, and my lover was not being helpful.  "Certain people need to
stay out of this conversation if they can't be helpful."

     Gary started back in.  "I sleep naked sometimes now.  I take my pj's
off when I get into bed.  I like to feel the sheets all over.  When did you
start sleeping naked?  You never said."

     I gulped.  The truth was that I could never remember wearing anything
to bed even as a little kid.  I'd lost, and I knew it.  "Okay, you can
sleep naked, but keep your pj's next to your bed in case you have to get up
in the middle of the night.  Heather and Allison aren't going to want you
wandering around the house in your birthday suit."

     He grinned.  I guess it's always a big thing for a child when he wins
an argument with an adult.  Parents must become more practiced at
outsmarting their children than I was.  Andy and I were pure amateurs at
the parenting thing and likely to stay that way.

     Gary grabbed me around the neck and gave me a big hug.  "Cool!
Thanks, C.Z."  In ten seconds flat his clothes were in a pile beside the
air mattress, and he was slipping his naked little body in between the
covers.

     Gary patted the bed beside him, and Larsen, who had been waiting
hopefully for any positive signal, climbed on top of the air mattress
beside Gary.

     Gary motioned for me to bend down.  When I did, he gave me another
neck hug and a quick good night kiss.

     "I need a kiss from Andy too."

     Andy dutifully went over and delivered his hug and kiss before turning
to me and commenting, "I never knew you were so good with children."

     "You are walking a thin line there, Mr. Hatcher.  Go brush your teeth
and come to bed."

     He laughed and disappeared into the bathroom.  I turned off the light,
shucked my clothes, and slipped under the covers.

     Andy returned in a couple of minutes, shed his clothes on the other
side of the bed, and crawled in next to me.  He gave me a quick kiss.
"Good night, babe.  I love you."

     "I love you too."

                       **********

     In the middle of the night I felt a presence standing next to the bed.

     "I had a bad dream.  Can I get in bed with you?"

     Sleepily, I opened the covers.  Gary slipped in and scrambled over me
to settle between Andy and me.

                       **********

     The next morning I woke up facing Andy.  He was on his side facing me
with his left hand thrown across my right arm.  Except for the few weeks
after being attacked by Brad when I couldn't stand to be touched, Andy and
I were always touching somewhere when we slept together.  Sometimes when I
woke up we were spooning, other times we were just holding hands in our
sleep, and still other times we were facing each other like then.  It was
still dark outside, but the faint glow from the street light allowed me to
see my lover's face.  I felt my dick begin to grow as I looked at him.  He
almost always had that effect on me.

     Gradually I became aware of the other body in bed with us.  Little
Gary was still nestled in between us.  He was buried in the covers with his
face pressed up against my chest and his leg thrown over mine.

     I decided that I'd better move.  I gently lifted Gary's leg off mine
and got out of bed.  Gary sighed, turned over, and buried his face in
Andy's chest without waking.  I pulled on a set of sweats and padded into
the bathroom for my morning piss.

     Larsen greeted me as I came out of the bathroom.  I opened the door to
let him out to do his morning business and moved into the kitchen to start
a pot of coffee.

     I heard the toilet flush, and Gary came wandering out of the bathroom.
He was still naked.

     "Hi, C.Z.  Do you still have any Froot Loops?"

     "Yes, but you can't have any until you put on some clothes.  Scoot
back into the bedroom and get dressed.  Your sisters are in the other
bedroom, and they might come out any time."

     "They won't be up for a long time.  I'm always up HOURS before they
are."

     "Maybe so, but you still need to get some clothes on.  Go."

     He retreated into the bedroom to get dressed as I prepared his morning
dose of pure sugar, otherwise known as Froot Loops.

     Andy and Gary emerged from the bedroom at the same time.  Andy
disappeared into the bathroom to pee while Gary plunked his little butt
down in one of the chairs and started spooning the sugary cereal into his
mouth.

     I handed Andy a cup of coffee when he emerged from the bathroom.
Larsen scratched at the door so I went over and let him back into the
apartment.

     I'd just sat down with my coffee when Gary announced, "You and Andy
both got boners last night, and Andy's circumscribed like you."

     I thought Andy was going to choke on his coffee.

     "The word is circumcised, Tiger, and how do you know that Andy and I
had erections last night?"

     "'Cause I felt them while you were asleep.  I woke up, and I could
feel Andy's boner against my leg.  I reached over and you had one too."

     Andy's face had lost all color.  I knew he was thinking of headlines
reading "Bank Exec Charged with Abuse of Minor."

     "Listen, Tiger, all grown men get erections when they sleep."

     "I know.  My dad's told me that.  He has 'rections all the time when I
crawl in bed with him and mom.  When will I start getting boners in my
sleep?"

     I saw Andy let out the breath he had been holding.

     "Not for a couple of years yet, Tiger.  Boys start getting erections
in their sleep a little while before they start puberty.  Do you know what
puberty is?"

     "Yeah, that's when you start getting hair down there and your penis
gets bigger.  Dad told me about that."

     "I'm glad your dad told you.  I think guys usually start puberty some
time between 10 and 13.  You've got three years yet."

     "Okay.  Can I watch some cartoons?"

     I nodded, and Gary went over and sat on the floor in front of the
couch.  He flipped the TV on with the remote and started surfing channels
to find some cartoons.

     Andy turned to me.  "I take back what I said last night about your
experience with kids.  You handled that one just fine.  Man, I had visions
of you and me being booked for molestation or something."

     "I noticed that you kind of turned pale.  Gary says anything that
comes into his mind.  The girls are a little more reserved, but Kevin and
Kathy are very open with their kids about sex.  Gary does seem interested
in penises.  I think that's normal for a young boy.  I know I was sure
interested in penises when I was a kid.  Still am."

     He gave me a big smile, "Boy am I ever glad you didn't grow out of
that.  I remember being interested in what other guys were packing back in
grade school also.  You and I might not be 'typical'.  After all, look how
we turned out."

     "Hey, gay pride, man."

     "Yeah.  Do you think Gary might be gay?"

     "I don't know.  We'll find out in time.  I do know this, if he is gay,
he won't have any trouble when he comes out to his family, and he's had
some good gay role models in Doc and Matt."

     "What about you as a role model?"

     "I don't know.  Maybe.  He's a really neat kid, and I enjoy having him
over here.  He absolutely idolizes Justin, so he's got a good straight role
model also."

     "I think you'd make a good father."

     "Thanks.  I think you would too.  Maybe we can adopt some day."

     "Yeah, it's a cinch that neither one of us is going to have any
biological children."

                       **********

     Kathy came up to collect the kids in mid morning.  She gave both Andy
and me a kiss and hug for keeping the kids saying that she and Kevin had
enjoyed the free evening.  I thought I had a good idea what they'd been
doing to occupy the time.

     Heather and Allison were still asleep.  She had to wake them up and
sort of lead them down the stairs over to their house.

     After they left Larsen and I took Andy on a short jog.  The poor guy
was really out of condition.  His body still looked great (I'd checked that
out thoroughly in the motel room), but he hadn't been getting much exercise
in Chicago so he didn't have his normal stamina.

     After lunch we did a little Christmas shopping before finding a small
tree to set up in the apartment.  The rest of the day was spent stringing
lights and hanging the few ornaments I'd brought from the cabin in
Carterville.

     Following dinner we settled down on the couch together and watched a
couple of movies.  Halfway through the second movie we were becoming a lot
more interested in touching each other than in watching the film.  We
turned off the TV and retreated to the bedroom.

     We made slow, gentle love.  Kissing.  Caressing.  Touching.  Sucking.
Neither of us in a hurry.  Andy finally rolled a condom down over my dick
and guided me toward his waiting hole.  I moved into him and started our
familiar motions.  Our climaxes were almost simultaneous, and we lay
together for a long time afterwards still joined by my dick inside his
rectum until I felt myself slipping out, then I held the condom around my
dick and pulled out.  We fell asleep right afterwards.

                       **********

     Gary Williams came over early Saturday morning to eat Froot Loops and
watch cartoons.  He and I curled up on the couch with Larsen at our feet on
the floor while Andy rummaged around in the kitchen getting breakfast.

     That afternoon Andy and I went out to Doc's for dinner.  Mark and
Jamal had spent Thanksgiving with Jamal's mother, but now they were staying
with Doc and Matt for the rest of the weekend.  I felt honored that they
included Andy and me in sort of a family get together.

     Doc had jokingly threatened to fix another turkey, but he did ham and
scalloped potatoes instead.  I like turkey, but only the first couple of
days.  After dinner we all braved the cold November night and sat in the
hot tub.

     "Matt tells me that you're going to be starting the MBA program here
in January."  It was Mark speaking.

     "Yeah.  I'm turning in my resignation at the bank first thing on
Monday morning.  We had first thought I'd wait until next fall to start the
program, but I want to be here with my honey."  Andy squeezed me tighter to
his side as he said that and then reached down in the water to give my dick
and balls a quick grope.

     Matt spoke next, "I thought you wouldn't have the finances set until
next fall."

     "It's going to be tight.  I'll have to get a part-time job to help
make ends meet, but being down here and away from the problems at the bank
will be worth it."

     Jamal joined in, "What type of work are you looking for, Andy?"

     "I don't know.  I'll start looking as soon as I get down here after
Christmas.  Beggars can't be choosers."

     "How about bookkeeping?"

     "Yeah.  I could do that.  Something in retail or even waiting tables
might pay better."

     "I don't know about that.  I've got a proposition for you..."

     Mark interrupted, "Jamal, you always have propositions for hunky
guys."

     Jamal pulled Mark in a little tighter.  "No, no.  This is a legit
offer.  I've got three stores down in Durham and Chapel Hill now.  I'm
planning on opening a fourth store up here in Adams in the summer.  There's
a place coming vacant in the mall that should be just prime for sports
equipment and gear.  The only problem is that I'm already stretched thin
doing the paper work, payroll, and books for the other three stores.  I
need to expand the business, but I can't handle it by myself any more.  I
need help.  I'll pay you $800 a month to do the books, file the tax forms,
and do the payroll twice a month."

     Andy leaned closer to Jamal.  "How would I get the information for the
books?"

     "I've got all the stores set up to report daily on the Internet.  You
can check the deposits with the bank on the Internet too.  Payroll is
reported the same way.  Checks could be mailed to the stores using FedEx or
UPS next day service."

     "How much time do you think will be involved?  I'll have to study
too."

     "I figure it will be 15 to 20 hours a week, but you can do it at your
convenience."

     "I don't know that's a lot of time."

     "Okay, how about $1,000 a month?  I've got to find someone to do this.
I just can't keep up with it and think about business strategy at the same
time."

     I was digging my hand into Andy's thigh under the water trying to send
him a signal to accept the offer, but he seemed to be ignoring me.  "Why
me?  You could get someone down in Durham, Raleigh, or Chapel Hill who
would be a lot closer and more convenient for you."

     "True, but I know you.  I trust you.  You've had the experience."
Jamal flashed one of his thousand-watt smiles, "And besides, your family,
man."

     Andy smiled back and stuck out his hand to close the deal.  "Sounds
good to me.  I'll give it a try."

     Jamal grabbed Andy's hand and pulled him into a full body hug.  "This
is the way we close deals in the family, man."

     He bent down and gave Andy a big kiss full on the lips and then looked
over at Mark, "Hey, babe.  Just got me another hunky white dude that I can
boss around.  I've always wanted a piece of Andy. Do you think C.Z. would
share?"

     Mark laughed.  "Jamal, if I were C.Z., I wouldn't share Andy with
anyone especially a big bull shitter like you.  Besides you have all you
can handle with me."

     Jamal turned Andy loose and laid a big sloppy kiss on Mark.  "How
about you and me going upstairs so I can 'handle' you right now?"

     Mark winked at the rest of us, stood up, and swung his legs over the
side of the tub.  He was already starting to get hard.  "Let's go, stud.
It's been almost twelve hours since I last plowed into that sweet ass of
yours."

     He disappeared into the house.  Jamal followed right after him with
his growing erection bobbing in the air in front of him.

(To be continued)
