Berto's Roses

By Ben

Part LIV

The pink sky greeted me as I opened my eyes the next morning. I suddenly
remembered what had happened last night. What had happened at last! I
turned my head and saw the black tangle of Berto's hair as it spilled
across my chest. I was lying on my back and Berto was on his right side. He
had his head on my chest and his left arm and leg were thrown over me. Yes
it was true. He was here and we had kissed and he loved me.

My heart soared once again. I lightly brushed the hair from his forehead,
so I could better see his handsome face. His long-lashed eyes were closed
in peaceful sleep and he had a slight smile on his oh-so kissable
lips. Softly and slowly, I traced my fingers over his bare shoulders and
down his side. I continued exploring his firm, hairless ass cheek and down
his trim, muscular leg, then retraced my way back up.

When my touch reached the point of his hip, he stirred, opened his eyes and
smiled widely. "You are tickling me Senor...I mean Ben."

"I'm sorry, Berto. I didn't mean to wake you. I just wanted to touch
you. Do you mind it?"

"Oh, no. I like for you to touch me. I want you to touch me all over."
Berto said softly as he looked up into my eyes. I response I turned him
onto his back and sat up in the bed, turning to face him. I ran my hands
through his thick black hair then traced the contours of his handsome
face. I touched his unlined forehead and his thick eyebrows. He closed his
dark brown eyes and I bent to gently kiss each eyelid.

Sitting back up, I caressed his high cheekbones and touched his jaw, which
was stubbly with his morning whiskers. I ran my fingers over his soft, full
lips and he kissed them then sucked the tip of one into his mouth. This I
found extremely erotic and my cock hardened completely.

We had not made love the night before. We were content to hold each other
and to kiss each other deeply and fully. Although Berto was completely
naked, I remained in my briefs throughout the night. Now they were fully
tented and felt confining.

I leaned over once more to kiss his warm mouth. Even though it was the
first thing in the morning, his lips and tongue tasted sweet. I sat back up
and continued my exploration, tracing my fingers down his long, thin neck,
feeling the swell of his Adam's apple and the indentation at the juncture
of his collarbones.

I flattened my palms and slid them slowly across his flat square pecs. He
didn't have the muscular body that Ricky had, but his workouts with Raul
had transformed him from the thin kid I had first met to a well-
proportioned and defined young man. I gently tweaked his tiny brown nipples
for a few seconds, then moved on.

Berto didn't have the classic "six pack" that Jose and Ricky had, but his
belly was smooth and firm and flat. There was a trail of wispy, soft black
hairs leading from his very sexy navel downward. He was covered by the
sheet from his hips down and I looked up to his face before proceeding.

His expression was mixture of permission to proceed, anticipation,
reluctance and what? Hope for approval? I slipped the sheet from his lower
torso and legs and took a long look at his manhood. Of course I had seen
him nude before, when we had gone swimming, but I was trying very hard not
to look then, because I felt it was inappropriate for me to do so. But,
since Berto had declared his love for me, this was a different situation.

I was a little surprised to find that Berto was circumcised. I don't know
why, but I had assumed him to be uncut. His brown cock lay in a nest of
thick black pubic hair pointing toward his left hip. His scrotum was also
brown and quite well sized and proportioned, and had soft black hairs on
it. As I slid my fingers down his hips, his cock began to grow under my
gaze.

"Uh... is it...is it...alright?" Berto asked hesitantly.

"It's just perfect, Berto." I assured him. I held it in my hand as it
continued to expand and harden at my touch. I grew to just over six inches
with a perfectly smooth well-shaped head which was slightly larger in
diameter than the fairly thick shaft. I watched as his balls began to move
beneath the thin skin of his scrotum.

Releasing his cock, it stood above his flat belly at a 45-degree angle,
reaching nearly to his navel. I gently lifted and caressed his balls then
lay them back between his legs. I ran my hands down his long, sinewy legs
to his feet. This young man had beautiful, shapely masculine feet. They
were surprisingly soft to my touch, considering how much time he spent
barefoot.

"Turn over, please." I instructed him. He complied, adjusting his hard cock
beneath him to a more comfortable position. I straddled his narrow hips and
leaned over to kiss his hair, and his ear, which was exposed as he turned
his head to his right. This brought a soft moan from him and he relaxed his
shoulders for me.

I sat up and ran my hands down his back and sides. Once again, this caused
him to squirm a bit as my fingers neared his hips. "That tickles, Ben." He
chuckled. "Sorry, didn't mean to do that right now." I answered.

I moved my legs further down and reached for the firm, smooth globes of his
ass. Here was the prize and it was well worth the wait. Berto had the most
beautiful ass I had ever seen. Completely hairless and wonderfully
shaped. I parted the cheeks slightly and caught a glimpse of his dark
pucker surround by a few black hairs that extended up his crack.

What I wanted to do was bury my mouth in that ass and feast for an
eternity. What I did was to roll over and draw him into my arms for another
kiss. "Did you like what you saw?" Berto asked me looking into my eyes for
assurance.

"Oh yes, very much, Berto. I liked what I saw very much."

He looked relieved. "I had hoped you would not be disappointed."

I shook my head. "Absolutely not. I find you beautiful, Berto."  This
caused him to smile and blush. He lowered his forehead to my chest. When he
recovered, he looked up to me and asked. "Is it my turn? May I touch you
now?"

It was my turn to blush. I was about to be examined, head to toe, by a
gorgeous young man, less than half my age. I found this to be very
daunting, but I knew it was what he wanted to do. I could deny him
nothing. "Yes, if that is what you want, Berto."

I rolled over onto my back and he moved his leg over me and slid down my
body. This caused the brief- covered head of my cock to slightly graze his
ass crack and balls as he positioned his hips on my upper thighs. His cock
was still hard and pointed up and out from his flat belly, his balls
contacted mine, which were still sheathed in the fabric of my briefs.

Berto mimicked my actions as he explored my face, spending some time on my
goatee. He also seemed fascinated by the hair on my chest as he continued
his downward exploration. As his hands wandered, he periodically looked up
to me and smiled. He was enjoying himself immensely, and this caused me to
relax completely.

"I have never touched a man like this before. I like it very much." Berto
said with a smile.

"I'm glad. I was afraid you would find me too old for you."

Berto shook his head as I felt his hands explore down my stomach-neither
flat nor defined. This didn't seem to bother him at all. He looked down at
the tent that was my briefs. Why did I feel so intimidated? There was a
spot of pre-cum that had soaked through at the head of my cock. Berto
touched it, then rubbed his finger and thumb together.

Without hesitation, he lifted the front of my briefs up and over my erect
cock. He scooted down and drew them down my legs and off my feet, tossing
them to one side, then straddled my thighs. He grasped my erect cock and
ran his hand up and down it slowly.

"Is this alright, Ben? I have never touched another man's pinga before. I
don't want to hurt you."

"You're not hurting me Berto." I told him, trying not to moan.

He continued his exploration. "You have no hair here". He said running his
fingers over my scrotum.

"That's because I shave there. I like the way it feels." I explained.

Berto felt may balls, lifting them in his hand, he seemed to be checking
the weight and his soft fingers caressed the hairless, loose skin.

"I like the way is feels, also." He decided. "I would like to feel this way
too. Can we shave mine as well?"

"Of course we can, if that's what you want."

"And here." He ran his fingers through my trimmed pubic hair. "Do you cut
this also? It looks so neat and clean."  "Yes, Berto, I trim that too." I
told him.

"I think I will do this as well. Will you help to do this, Ben?"

I nodded and Berto smiled once again. He slid down my legs, touching my
thighs and calves.

"You have very strong legs. Big muscles- it is one of the things I first
noticed about you." Berto said.

"Thank you. They have always been that way, I guess." I answered.

"Please turn over for me, Ben." He asked.

I obliged him and he sat just below my ass, then leaned over my back. This
caused his hard cock to slide into my ass crack. It was stiff and warm and
felt wonderful. I resisted the urge to press up into him. Berto lay his
young body over mine. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and placed
his chin on my shoulder while he hugged himself to me.

"You feel so good, Ben. Am I too heavy?"

"No, Not at all. Stay there as long as you want."

Berto kissed me softly on the shoulder then on my ear. This forced more
precum out of my cock and onto the sheet. He had no way of knowing that he
had found my "go button". I groaned deeply.

"What's the matter?" Berto asked, sliding off of me. "Did I hurt you?"

"Oh, no, Berto. I'm fine." I turned toward him and took him in my arms
again. My mouth covered his in a heated kiss. I wanted him so badly right
then, but I knew I had to slow it down and not scare him in any way.
"Berto..." I began, looking into his eyes.

I was interrupted by a soft knock at the door. "DAMN! My mind was
screaming. Carla opened the door and walked in with Nathan behind her. I
struggled to release myself from my embrace with Berto. I felt very much
like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Berto didn't move and
still clung to me. It was obvious what had been going on and I was
powerless to do anything about it.

Carla looked at us and smiled, then turned to Nathan and motioned with her
head toward the bed. Nathan looked and he, too, smiled. "It's about damn
time. Honestly you are so dense sometimes, Ben." He said to me.

I looked at them and then at Berto. He had a shit-eating grin on his face
and I realized that I had been the object of some sort of conspiracy. What
the hell had been going on here? Was I the only one who could not see it?

Berto said something to Carla in Spanish. When I looked at her,
questioningly, she explained. "Si, I did tell you that if you were
persistent, Ben, would finally figure it out. It seems that I was right."

"What?" I fairly shouted. "You knew about this? You knew how Berto felt
about me and didn't tell me?"

Carla laughed. "Of course I did. Berto and I are the best of friends. But
everybody knew it. It was so obvious to everybody but you."

I shook my head and rolled my eyes. "I cannot believe you people.  You had
to also know how I felt about him, right?"

"Yes!" said Nathan and Carla together.

Berto and I just looked at each other. Why had we not known? Oh well, what
did it mater now? We finally figured it out and we were together. I hugged
him to me and we kissed again. This got us applause and catcalls from Carla
and Nathan.

"What do you to want anyway? You came in at a very bad time." I said.

"It looked like a pretty good time to me." Quipped Nathan. Berto and I both
blushed.

"We are leaving. Nathan is taking me to San Augustin and then going to San
Diego." Carla explained.

"So soon?" I asked. "Can't you wait until after breakfast?"

Carla picked up my clock and showed me the time. "It is already
eleven-thirty. Apparently you two were so...um...'busy' that you forgot all
about the time."

I was shocked. Had Berto and I really been exploring each other's bodies
for all that time? It seemed to have gone by much more quickly than that.

Carla gave Berto a big hug and said something to him in Spanish. She then
came around the bed and hugged me as well. "I am so happy for you, Ben. You
two wasted way too much time finding each other. Nathan shook my
hand. "I'll be back down when all the paperwork is in order for the
settlement with Bob's daughter. And you..." He shook Berto's hand, "Will
have a sizable check when I come back."

"You two be careful, and let us know when you get back home, please." I
told them. They both promised they would. Carla blew us a kiss on the way
out the door.

I turned to Berto for another kiss, then I said, "I guess we better get
up. The others will wonder what became of us." Berto nodded his agreement
and I watched his sweet, bare ass disappear into the bedroom. I made the
bed and followed him.

He was drying off from his shower when I entered. I came to him and held
his wet body to mine as I kissed him one more time. To my surprise, his
hand grasped my cock and I began to harden again. I smiled at his
mischievous expression. "Time for more later, amigo. Let me get cleaned up
and I'll be right out." One more quick kiss and I got into the shower while
Berto got dressed and went into the house.  Thanks for your kind messages
