Ben's Gift

By Ben

Chapter Eight


It's funny how you can sleep in a car, if you are exhausted, through almost
anything, but as the car slows down to make it's final turn into a
driveway, you wake up.  That's what happened to Ben. He awoke as Nathan
pulled the big sedan into the driveway of the house he shared with
Jake. The double door lifted automatically and the Jag came to a smooth
stop inside the garage.

Ben had never been to this house. Nathan and Jake had recently had it
built. He had noticed a lot of palm trees and a lot of glass, as well as a
glimpse of some bay or inlet at the back (front?) of the house. They exited
the car, Ben somewhat stiffly. Jose and Enrique were getting out of their
rental car and walking up. All five men went into the house as the garage
door closed behind them.

The house Nathan had lived in with his late partner, Mac, was not to Ben's
liking in the least. He thought it resembled a museum or something. The
"living room", which was seldom used, reminded Ben of a Victorian funeral
parlor. It had stained glass, very subdued lighting, and even an antique
organ.

Whoever Mac had hired to decorate was obviously WAY over the top. There
were velvet throws "draped" just so" on the "doll-house" furniture, and
even one laboriously placed on a folding screen in the corner. Chaises,
settees and copious numbers of rugs were arranged and "rakish" angles. The
theme seemed to be "let's see just how many tassels we can possibly hang-
on anything that didn't move.

Ben liked the new house immediately. It was decorated very simply, quite
masculine with lots of natural wood, brass and interesting lighting. The
flooring was hardwood and ceramic tile. That made it easy to care for, as
Ben well knew. The Bed and Breakfast he owned with Berto had the same type
flooring.

Jake was in full host mode, plying his guests with food and drink. Ben was
so exhausted all he wanted was any horizontal surface on which to crash for
a few hours.  Amid Jake's protest and following his own promise to eat
something, when he woke up, Ben followed Nathan to a guest room with an
enormous bed.

Ben got undressed as Nathan lowered the blinds, blocking out the sun and a
rather dazzling view of the beach and the water beyond. Except for the fact
that there was no rose garden, it reminded Ben of his home in Santa
Rosalia. This made him a bit homesick, and he longed to be back there with
Berto.

Ben put his hospital pager on the nightstand and lay on the bed. Nathan
covered him with a light quilt and kissed his forehead. "Get some sleep,
buddy." Nathan said with a bright smile. "Berto's doing fine, and they'll
get in touch as soon as we can see him."

Ben reached up for a hug. "Thanks, Nate. Thanks for the hospitality. Your
new house is beautiful."

"No problem, you're our first guests and we're glad to have you. Sweet
dreams."

Nathan closed the door quietly behind him as he exited the room. Ben
relaxed and turned on his side as he drifted off to sleep. He was just
entering deep sleep when he sensed a warm body behind him and felt himself
engulfed in masculine arms. He looked down and saw the beautifully featured
hands and burnished copper skin of a young Latino.

"Berto?" he mumbled.

"No, mi amigo. It is Ricky. I thought you might like some company for your
nap."

Ben smiled sleepily. "Well thank you. I always like to be held while I am
falling asleep. That or to hold Berto."

"Well, I can't arrange for you to hold Berto, right now..." Ricky gently
kissed Ben's shoulder. "...but it will not be long until he is once again
in your arms."

Ben snuggled back into the strong embrace. "Where is Jose?"

"He is having something to eat and he and Jake were having a discussion
about planes and flying." Ricky replied. "I knew I would not be missed. He
will be in later."

Ben drifted off to sleep. When he awoke a few hours later, he found that
Jose had indeed joined them. He was sandwiched between Jose and
Ricky. "What could be better than this?" He thought to himself. "Cuddling
in a nice warm bed with two handsome Latinos."

Ben lay there for a few minutes and then realized that he needed to
pee. His hard dick was pressing up against Jose's firm ass and he needed
relief. Slowly and quietly, He untangled himself from the two beautiful men
and made his way to the adjoining bathroom.

After taking care of business, he found that Jake and Nathan had laid out
toothbrushes and toiletries for their guests. He cleaned up a bit and
brushed his teeth, then got dressed and made his way into the dining
room. There was a feast of cold cuts, salads and fruit just waiting for
him.

Ben made a huge sandwich and a bunch of the fruit. He didn't see Jake or
Nathan, so he decided to take his plate and explore a bit and find out
where they were. He walked into what he quickly ascertained as the master
suite. He didn't see anybody there, but noticed that the French doors were
open onto the deck.

Stepping to the door he saw them. Nathan was lying on his back, naked on a
large chaise lounge. He was a bit older than Ben, and had recently begun
graying at his temples, but Ben had to admit, he was still very attractive.

Jake was there as well. He was straddling his lover's body and slowly
sliding his ass up and down on Nathan's thick cock. Jakes eyes were closed
and he was moaning his pleasure. Nathan held him at his trim waist and
encouraged his movements.

Jake's body was just as sensational as it had Ben when Ben met him those
many years before in Atlanta. Ben munched his sandwich and watched Jake
impale himself on the big black dick, causing him to grow hard.

It had been awhile since he and Berto had made love, due to Berto's
illness. He knew he couldn't watch for long without wanting to join in the
fun. He returned to the dining room and was just finishing his meal when a
sleepy-eyed Ricky walked in from the bedroom, clad only in his black bikini
briefs.

"Oh my God!" Thought Ben. "He is so hot, and after the show I got from Jake
and Nathan, I'm so horny I could burst."

Ricky rubbed his eyes then held out something in his hand. "This was going
off and thought you might want to know about it."

Ben realized it was the hospital pager. "Oh. Yes! Thanks Ricky." Ben
scrambled to his feet and gave his handsome friend a quick hug. "I'm going
to call the hospital and see if I can see Berto yet."

Ricky produced his cell phone from somewhere and held it out to
Ben. "Aqui."  He said.

Ben wondered where he had taken it from, but busied himself with his
call. He was put in touch with Miguel, who told him that Berto had been
moved to his room in ICU and had been resting comfortably for a few
hours. He would be having his dinner in a bit and Miguel suggested that Ben
come to the hospital and join him.

Ben thanked Miguel and rang off. " He says I can come and see Berto. Would
you like to go with me?"

Ricky shook his head sleepily. "Not right now, mi amigo. You should see him
alone. Jose and I will visit in later."

As Ben wondered how he was going to get to the hospital, Ricky held out his
hand yet again. I t were the keys for his rental car. Where had he been
hiding all this stuff? Surely not in his briefs, they were quite brief and
Ben could see everything they held.

"Thanks buddy. Please let Jake and Nathan know where I went." He kissed his
friend. "But, uh, you might want to wait for awhile. They were...uh... kind
of...busy, a few minutes ago."

"Si?" Ricky raised his eyebrows as a wicked grin spread across his face. "I
may have to check on them then."

"You are so bad!" Ben swatted him on his ass, then left for the hospital.

Wow! How about that? Another chapter already AND it even has some sex! Hope
you enjoyed it. More soon. As always, I love to hear from my readers.
