Date: Sun, 14 Nov 1999 01:04:58 -0800 From: Donald Orluck <DonNrs2000@mindspring.com> Subject: Jason--A Love Story Chapter 13 Jason---A Love Story Chapter 13. Part 1. Authors note: Well my dear readers, this is the final chapter. I wish to thank you once again for reading my little story. This chapter is dedicated first to Christian and Christopher. You are my inspiration and my example for the perfect gay couple. You two help me stay strong and help keep hope alive in my life. I love you both. I also want to dedicate this final chapter to all those looking for love in their corner of the world. Sit back and dream with me as you read the final chapter of "Jason--A Love Story." Finally, this chapter is dedicated to my friend, Jason, who continues to be the constant source of pleasant thoughts in my life. You have been the inspiration for a six-month adventure that has touched many lives. I love you Jason. From Chapter 12. Sam lowered the gun towards Jason's chest, and began to pull the trigger, as I pounced from my squatting position. I knocked Jason to the ground as the gun went off with a earth shattering "BANG--BANG!!!!" I thought I heard the apartment door being kicked in as I yelled, "I LOVE YOU JASON. PLEASE FORGIVE ME." Then everything went black. And the story continues... I was sitting in the open field where Jason and I spent those first few moments together, away from the eyes of the crowd at the picnic. Jason was sitting next to me, holding my hand as we chatted about nothing in particular. Suddenly a dark cloud began to form on the horizon and soon the sun had disappeared and drops of rain began to fall. I turned to look at Jason and he was no longer there next to me, but instead Sam stood towering over me laughing, "Did you think you'd get rid of me that easily, you slut. Jason's gone you whore, I shot him dead. And now I'm taking you to hell with me." I screamed, "OH GOD, PLEASE, NO!!!!" Immediately a bright light descended through the clouds, and a figure appeared on the field over in the distance. The being began to move towards Sam and I. As the entity moved closer, I gasped, "Chris, is that you?" The form of a man familiar to me came closer as Sam growled, "Another of your slut tricks, Don? You whore." The man gracefully raised his right arm and a bolt of light flashed from his extended hand, knocking Sam to the ground. As Sam tried to stand, a dark funnel descended from the sky and enveloped him. The funnel began to swirl faster and began ascending into the clouds above, taking Sam with it, as he bellowed evilly, "I'll be back, Don. This isn't over yet." Tears rolled down my cheeks as the man came up to me and placed his arm around my shoulders. I recognized Chris, my friend of twenty some years. We had met when I first started working as a teenager. Chris was my straight friend, who I had only recently come out to, after so many years of hiding the fact that I was gay from him. I sobbed, "Chris, it really is you." Chris smiled, "Yes Don, it's me." I continued, "But how, why are you here? I don't understand what is going on." Chris explained, "You are between life and death Don. Sam shot you. Now, you have a decision to make. I'm here to help you make that decision." I continued, "Decision. What decision?" Chris continued, "Don, do you love Jason?" I quickly replied, "Yes, of course." Chris reiterated, "No, Don. Do you love Jason more than life itself?" I continued, "Yes I do. He is my life. Without Jason, I don't exist." Chris beamed, "Then you need to return to him. You shouldn't be here right now. Your love for Jason will guide you back." Chris suddenly disappeared, as a rainbow colored cavern appeared in his place. I entered the cavern, and began to hear voices and noises coming from the distance. I started to walk slowly towards the voices. I could hear monitors beeping as my eyes slowly opened. A bright light shined down on me, as I looked upward, trying to focus my eyes. I groggily spoke, "Jason, where are you?" I felt a hand grasp mine as an angelic voice at my right side stated, "I'm here my sweet prince." I turned to the right and saw Jason's tear filled eyes. I smiled, "I love you Jason." Jason's smile broke through the tears, "I love you too babe. Now try to rest. I'll be here when you wake back up." I drifted out of consciousness again, as pleasant thoughts of Jason filled my dreams. I awoke with a start, and looked around the darkened room. I glanced at Jason, sleeping in the chair next to the bed. I whispered, "Jason, where am I, what happened?" My thoughts suddenly went back to the apartment and I remembered Sam pointing the gun at Jason. I began to sob lightly, which must have awakened Jason from his slumber. Jason sat on the bed next to me, took my hand, and looked deep into my questioning eyes. Jason began, "Don, you're in the hospital babe. You saved my life, sweet prince. You were hit by the bullets that Sam meant for me." I smiled, "Unconditional love Jason. It took control." Jason smiled, "I know babe." I looked at Jason, "What happened Jason? Where is Sam? The last thing I remember is hearing the sound of a door being kicked in." Jason smiled, "Sam won't be hurting you again. Now rest babe, and in the morning I'll tell you the rest of the story." I smiled as I softly spoke, "Ok babe. Jason, you have to call my friend Chris. Paul can help you find him. Please call him." I quickly drifted back to sleep, from the effects of the medications I was receiving. Jason quietly slipped from the room, to the pay phone, and made several phone calls. I opened my eyes and tried to sit up in the bed. I felt a dull pain in my chest so I just relaxed against the flat bed. I called out, "Jason, are you here?" There was no answer, but then I heard the flushing of the toilet. I could see the top of a door open, and then Jason's comforting face was hovering over me. I smiled, "I was worried you had gone." Jason leaned over the bed and gave me a kiss before responding. "I was just cleaning up a bit. I didn't want to have morning breath when I kissed you." I giggled, "My breath musta been terrible then." Jason smiled, "Naw, the nurses have been seeing to that." I asked, "Jason, can you raise the bed a little? I tried to sit up but it hurt to much." Jason quickly pressed the button raising the head of the bed to a 45-degree angle. "Is that better babe?" I replied, "Much, now I can see my handsome boyfriend better." Jason cooed, "I love you Don." I whispered, "Love you too Jason." Jason placed his hand on my cheek and caressed it gently, then kissed me again. I smiled at Jason, "How long have I been here babe?" Jason answered, "Four days Don. But you slept through them all until yesterday afternoon." I worriedly looked at Jason, "Am I gonna be ok Jason? What all happened?" Jason lowered the side rail of the bed and sat next to me, taking my right hand in his. Jason began, "You're gonna be fine Don. The doctors had to operate to remove the bullets, but no organs were hit. They made sure you slept so the wounds could start to heal. The doctor will be in a little later, but he told me yesterday, after you woke up the first time, that you could probably go home in a couple more days. But you have to rest, and you know the rest of the plan, my little nursing student. We have to make sure you don't get an infection, and you have to start eating good too." I smiled, "Yeah, I know the routine. So, what else happened? Jason, what about Sam?" Jason continued, "Sam's dead Don. Remember when you heard the door being broken open?" I nodded, then Jason continued, "Mike kicked the door in and then Paul and Tom burst into the room with him. Robert waited downstairs to let the police, which were coming, know which apartment to go to. Sam tried to turn and fire his gun at Mike, but Tom kicked his hand and the gun went flying across the floor to where Paul was standing. Paul picked up the gun while Mike told Sam to get up. As Sam stood up he pulled a knife out of his boot and threw it at Tom, but it just missed him. Then Sam tried to lunge at Mike and when he did, Paul fired the gun and shot Sam right through the heart. Sam died before the ambulances ever arrived. It all happened very fast, while I was holding you in my arms, terrified that you would leave me forever. I never prayed so hard and fast in my whole life. The ambulances came about five minutes later, and brought you here." I had tears in my eyes as Jason finished relaying the events to me. I sobbed, "Is Paul ok?" Jason continued, "Paul is fine, but Tom was pretty shook up. He was worried that Paul might start having nightmares. But I made sure Paul talked to a counselor here at the hospital." Jason giggled, "Paul thinks he is Rambo now. Mike said that would pass soon though. You made the front page of the paper thanks to Robert, along with all the television news programs here. Paul has enjoyed his little time in the media too." I laughed, "Paul was loving the media attention, I'm sure. Is Mike still here? I want to be sure to thank him before he leaves town." Jason smiled brightly; "Mike will be here for a while, Don. It seems Mike and Robert are totally smitten with each other. Mike asked for a transfer to the local unit here, so he and Robert have been out apartment hunting. Everyone will be in a little later this morning to visit." I smiled, "I'm glad none of you were hurt." I frowned a bit, "It's too bad Sam had to die, but I guess that was meant to be." Jason comforted, "Don't think about that right now babe. Remember, you told me there is a reason for everything, so we just have to accept that." I leaned my head over to Jason and kissed his cheek. "I'm gonna sleep for a while now Jason. Please don't leave me babe." Jason whispered, "Sleep my sweet prince, cause I'm never gonna leave your side again." I drifted off to sleep in Jason's strong arms. The next time I woke, Jason was standing next to the bed looking down at me with his loving eyes. I smiled, "Hi there gorgeous. I'm hungry." Jason laughed, "Hi there yourself handsome. Feel like going for a little ride, and maybe I can get the nurse to find ya some food." Jason pointed to the wheel chair as he spoke. I asked, "Is it ok with the doctor?" Jason smiled, "Yeah. The doctor had the nurses given orders to get you out of bed when you woke up. There are some people waiting to see you down the hall." I nodded to Jason, and he lowered the rails on the bed, helped me maneuver to the edge, and then helped me stand and turn to sit in the wheelchair. I smiled, "You'd be a good nursing assistant Jason." Jason snickered, "I only wanna nurse one man, the rest are on their own." Jason wheeled the chair from the room, down the hall, and then into another large room. Paul and Tom were the first people I saw, as tears filled my eyes. Paul and Tom both gave me a big hug, and Tom stated, "Bout time you two got out here. Paul was ready to bust down the doors to come get ya." I laughed, "Yeah, I heard he is Rambo Jr. now. Thanks Paul. You did a good thing, probably saved many other lives." Paul was trying to hold back tears as he nodded to me. Next Robert and Mike came into view. I burst into tears as Mike hugged me, and I whispered, sobbing in his hear, "Thank you. Now you better take good care of Robert for me." Mike smiled through glassy eyes; "I will Don. We have good examples like you and Jason around for us, so we can't go wrong." Robert hugged me, "Love Mike, like I love Jason, Robert, and you'll have it made." Robert smiled through his tears. I almost fell out of the wheelchair, when my sister, Jill, and my friend, Chris, walked up next. Jill smiled, "Heck of a way for me to meet your new boyfriend Don. Next time a phone call will do." I giggled, "Won't be a next time. Jason's the one and only." Jill giggled, "I know. He really loves you a lot. I can tell these things you know." I laughed, remembering those were the exact words I had told her when she met her husband. Chris came up next and stated, "Cock." I retorted, "Dick." We had greeted each other this way for over twenty years. I smiled, "I'm glad Jason found you. You were in my dream. You sent me back here to Jason." Chris smiled, "You watch to many movies Don, but hey, I'm glad I could help. So, you really love this guy, huh?" I replied, emphatically, "Yeah, I really do." Chris beamed, "Kewl. As long as you're happy, then you know you have my support. I hope we get to spend more time together. I want to get to know Jason too. He seems like a great dude. Then I'll have someone else to help me pick on you." I giggled, "Two against one. Sounds fair to me!" Jill interrupted, "Mom and Lee will be here in a day or so." I rolled my eyes, knowing that would be an adventure, since my mom had never met any of my boyfriends before. Jill laughed, knowing exactly what I was thinking. I visited with everyone until the doctor wandered into the waiting room. Jason wheeled me back to the room, and then stepped out while the doctor checked my wounds. He commented, "You're doing great Don. I think you can go home tomorrow afternoon, since I know that young man of yours will take good care of you." I blushed at his words, but thanked him heartily. Once the doctor left, Jason, Tom, and Paul came back into the room. Jason stated, "So what did the doc say babe." I happily replied, "I get to go home tomorrow, cause he says I got a good man to take care of me." Tom and Paul giggled, while Jason continued, "Good, I can hardly wait to give you a sponge bath." We all started laughing, then I asked, "Did everyone else leave?" Jason answered, "Yep, for now. Jill is gonna stay with Chris and his girlfriend while she is here. Mike and Robert went to sign the lease on their new apartment." I looked at Tom and Paul. "You guys should get back to your jobs. I don't want your businesses going under because of me." Tom laughed, but Paul had this serious teary-eyed look on his face. "Paul, stop worrying, the doc says I'm gonna be good as new in no time." Paul started to cry as he knelt beside me. "I was so afraid I would loose you. I don't know what I would have done." Jason and Tom walked out of the room to give Paul and I time to comfort each other's fears. About 5 minutes later they returned, both of them smiling, as Jason remarked, "Paul, are you ok now?" Paul smiled at Jason and then walked back over to Tom and they huddled in the corner for a minute, while Jason helped me get back into the bed. Jason giggled, "Hey you two, I thought you had something you wanted to ask Don?" Paul and Tom walked over to the bed, and then each of them took a seat, one on each side of me. Paul began, "What are you going to be doing on September 11th Don?" I answered, "Probably homework. That's almost two months away, I don't know. Why?" Tom giggled, "Paul and I have a little catering job for you that day." Jason was trying to hold back from laughing, as I questioned, "What, something they can't handle at the cafe?" Tom and Paul both snickered, "Something we would only trust you with, Don." My expression changed instantly to a huge beaming smile, "You're fucking shittin' me. Are you guys gonna finally get married?" Jason started laughing heartily, as Tom and Paul both stated, "Yes." I yelled, "FUCKIN' KEWL!!! Of course I am doing the catering. Paul continued, "That's not all. Tom and I discussed it and we want you and Jason to be our best men." Jason was surprised by this announcement, as he replied, "Really, you want me?" Tom replied, "Yep, you were my choice. You're the best friend, other than Don, that I've had in a long time, Jason." Now, Jason was the one with tears in his eyes and totally speechless. This simple act told Jason that he was truly accepted by my two best friends, and that now, he also had finally made some quality friendships. I hugged Tom and whispered, "Thank you Tom, you can't even fathom what this means to Jason, let alone me." Then I hugged Paul, and giggled, "Bout' time bitch!!!" Paul laughed, then became serious, "Well, we needed a little inspiration, and after what you and Jason have been through, and the way you have stood by each other, Tom and I decided that this is the best way that we could celebrate the power of love." I was awe struck by Paul's remarks and tears came to my eyes. Paul hugged me, at the same time that Jason hugged Tom. Then I stated, excitedly, "This is gonna be so much fun. It will be the event of decade. I want ice sculptures, and fountains, and huge shrimp trees, and melon baskets, and…." Paul and Tom both laughed, "Calm down Don. You don't have to plan the whole thing today." Jason wasn't sure what to make of my enthusiasm, but Paul explained, "Jason. Don has been pestering us for almost two years to get married, cause he wanted to cater the wedding. You're gonna have to keep him grounded, or were liable to end up having the reception at the White House." We all laughed, heartily. Tom and Paul then told us they had better get back to work, but would stop by later in the day to check on me. We all hugged, and then Tom and Paul left my hospital room to continue their day. Jason came and sat on the bed next to me, kissing me briefly, before asking, "Don, do you still want to stay at my house, now that Sam is gone?" I looked into his emotion filled eyes, as I cooed, "Of course Jason. Do you still want me to stay permanently?" Jason whispered, "Of course my sweet prince." I smiled at Jason and then yawned. Jason assumed the role of caregiver. "You better rest for a while. Is it ok if I leave for a bit? I need to check on Brandon and take care of a few details at work." I sleepily remarked, "Sure babe. But you will come back later today right?" Jason whispered, "Of course. I'm staying the night with you here. Remember, no more nights alone for either of us." I smiled as I drifted off to sleep, feeling Jason kiss my forehead, and whispering, "I love you babe." Jason exited the hospital, and quickly drove home. After taking care of Brandon, he called the salon and told them he would be off for the next week. Then he called a moving company and made arrangements to have my things packed and brought to his apartment. Next, Jason called my sister to find out when my mom was due to arrive in town. Finally, Jason called Tom's cell number. When Tom answered, Jason asked, "Tom, you ready to go shopping with me?" Tom giggled, "Sure thing Jason. I'll be over in ten minutes. Don't worry, Paul doesn't have a clue what were up too." Jason laughed as he hung up the phone, and then played with Brandon until Tom arrived. The two men quickly sped off to their destination, laughing and bantering back and forth, proud of their perfectly disguised plans. I woke up later that afternoon to an empty room. A few minutes later, Jason, Jill, and Chris walked in carrying balloons, plants, and a bundle of cards. Jason explained, "All these came to the hospital today. Looks like you have a fan club out their Don." Jason and I began opening the cards while visiting with my sister and Chris, and soon Paul and Tom arrived. We all had a nice visit, and the nurses even sneaked in food for us all. Soon it was getting late and everyone had to leave. It was agreed that everyone would meet at Jason's the following evening, so that I could have time alone with my mom at the hospital before going home. Once the gang exited the room, Jason helped me walk to the bathroom so I could clean up a bit before bed. After getting me back in bed, Jason began to remove his clothing, and once undressed, climbed into the bed with me. I giggled, "Jason, the nurses might not like this to much, but I sure do like you being next to me." Jason snickered; I already bribed the nursing staff. They are all coming down to the salon in a couple of weeks for a nurses day at the spa." I whispered, "Jason, you are such a sweet man. It is so rare for anyone to ever do something nice for the nursing staff in the hospitals. I know they will definitely appreciate it." I kissed Jason lovingly, and caressed his naked chest, and whispered, "I gotta remember to ask the doc when I can have sex with you again. I miss you being inside me Jason." Jason smiled, "I already asked the doc. He said once you got home it would be ok, but we have to be careful to not traumatize your wounds. But I already have lots of ideas on how we will take care of that situation." I snickered, "Oh Jason!!" Jason snuggled up close to me and carefully placed one hand under my head and the other gently on my stomach as he whispered, "Go to sleep now babe." I drifted off to sleep, content in Jason's arms. Jason---A Love Story Chapter 13. Part 2. I awoke the next morning to Jason's angelic eyes watching closely over me. I giggled, "Mornin' babe." Jason cooed, "Morning lover. Did you sleep ok?" I replied, "I slept great. Had sweet dreams about me and you." Jason smiled, "I had erotic dreams about you." I snickered, "Oh baby, do me, do me." Jason playfully slapped my ass, "What till I get you home babe. But for now, we better get up. Your mom should be arriving soon, and we don't want her to catch us like this." I giggled, "That's for sure. She'd flip." Jason helped me out of the bed and we went into the bathroom and both washed up. Jason then straightened up the room, and soon the charge nurse brought us both some breakfast. She talked for a few minutes with Jason and showed him how to change my dressings, and then left us alone to eat. About an hour later Jason took the trays back to the nurses station, while I watched some television. I dosed off again in the recliner chair, and was awakened by voices as the door to my room opened. My mom came in, followed by Jason. She was all teary eyed as she came over to hug me. I was really nervous, as she began to speak. "You know son, you made the news, even down in Florida. I was shocked to hear about how all this happened because Jill didn't give me a lot of details when she called. I am really proud of the way you sacrificed your own safety for someone you obviously care a great deal about. Jason and I had a little chat before coming in. He seems like a very bright and caring young man. I don't claim to understand very much about the gay lifestyle, but you both obviously love each other, so I certainly can't condemn something like that. Lee and I will always support you both in anything you do." I had this look of shocked relief on my face, while tears rolled down my cheeks. She gave me another hug and then went over to Jason and whispered, "You take good care of my son young man." Then she hugged Jason, before continuing. "So where do I get a cup of coffee around here. Jason left the room to get some coffee, while my mom filled me in on all the gossip from Florida. Soon after Jason returned with the coffee, the doctor came in and examined my wounds, and then told me I could leave as soon as all the paperwork was finalized. I was thrilled and Jason and my mom began to pack up the cards and other goodies that had flooded the room during my stay. My mom stated, "I'm gonna go back to the hotel and get some lunch with Lee, and then we will meet you over at Jason's later this afternoon. I know you two will want a little time alone, and I have to prepare Lee for meeting Brandon, let alone Jason." We all laughed heartily, and then my mom kissed Jason and me goodbye. After she left the room, I smiled at Jason, "You are truly amazing babe. You won her over, and I didn't think that would ever be possible." Jason responded, "Love conquers all babe." We finished packing as the nurse brought in the final paperwork for me to sign, and then I climbed into the wheel chair, and Jason escorted me out of the hospital, into his car, and we drove off towards OUR home. Jason and I arrived home to a very happy welcoming from Brandon. Jason had to hold him down so he would jump and hurt my healing wounds. As we entered the room, I noticed a wall of boxes sitting to one side of the room. Jason giggled, "I hope ya don't mind, but I had most of your things brought over from the apartment. All the furniture is in storage now too, so we can decide what to keep later." I was ecstatic, "Kewl Jason! I'm actually going to be living with my boyfriend. I love you babe." Jason smiled, "I'm glad you are happy babe, I wanted to surprise you." I gave Jason a big hug, and then he led me to the couch. I want you to rest for a while Don, while I fix some dinner for everyone." I cooed, "What ya gonna fix babe, and when are they coming over." Jason answered, "Spaghetti, and they're coming around six. So you rest, and no trying to sneak into the kitchen to help." I positioned myself comfortably on the couch, and soon was sound asleep. While I slept, Jason began to prepare the meal, and once the spaghetti sauce was simmering, he made several phone calls. I awoke about 5:30 to the sound of the apartment door opening. Brandon came rushing in pulling Jason behind him. I laughed, "Did you get a good workout." Jason snickered, "Damn Don. How do you manage this without loosing your arm? Brandon is so strong." I continued, "Practice babe, lots of practice." Brandon ran swiftly towards the couch, and I turned so he would pounce on my chest. As soon as I started petting him, he settled down, and sat quietly next to me. Jason went back to working in the kitchen and soon I could hear voices in the hallway, and Brandon jumped from the couch to the door and started barking furiously, before a knock was ever sounded. Jason quickly opened the door and Paul and Tom entered the apartment, followed by Mike, Robert, Jill, Chris, my mom, and Lee. A moment later, there was another knock on the door, and Paul quickly answered it. In walked Laura from my work, along with Pam from the salon. I glanced over to Jason, and he smiled, "It's a party, what can I say." I introduced Laura and Pam to the rest of the group, and then we all sat down to eat. Following dinner, Paul and Chris took care of cleaning the dishes, and I was happy to see my oldest friend getting along so well with my best friend. Mike kept everyone else entertained with stories from his FBI adventures, and soon Paul and Chris joined in on the story telling, trying to embarrass me with quips about my life that the rest in attendance had never heard before. I noticed Tom and Jason leave the room for a few minutes, and I figured they were just doing what Paul and I used to do, spending some private time together. A little while later Tom and Jason returned, going directly into the kitchen, and not even glancing my way. I thought, "That is strange. I wonder what's up." The conversation kept us distracted, and soon Tom returned, carrying a tray holding twelve, filled, wine glasses, followed by Jason. Tom and Jason passed a glass to each person in the room, and then sat the tray aside. Tom took a seat next to Paul, and Jason came and sat next to me. Jason began, "I wanted you all here tonight to celebrate Don's return home from the hospital. Don and I haven't known each other very long, and to some of you it may seem like this has been a whirlwind romance. Well, it has been." Jason took my hand and then continued. "Don has taught me that love is an amazing gift, given by God, to two people under sometimes, unusual circumstances. The first night that I spent with Don, we talked about love, and he explained that it has many facets and levels. Don used examples from his life to explain his theories on love, and most of you were those examples. Don says that the greatest love is unconditional in nature, which means that the one you love is more important than anything else in life, including your own life. Don himself was that example, when he put his own life in danger, to save mine from Sam's bullets. I hope that we all have learned that love is miraculous, cause I think it's a miracle that Don is sitting here with me." Jason looked over at Tom and nodded his head. Tom began, "I met Don shortly after I started dating Paul. Don was Paul's closest friend, except for Robert. Don and I hit it off immediately and became great friends, and it seemed he accepted me without question, because Paul loved me. That is pretty amazing in this world today, which is filled with so much cynicism. I am an expert on cynicism at times, especially when it comes to God, but Don here tried to constantly thwart my unbelieving nature every chance he got. At the time that Don and Jason met, Don's life wasn't always very happy. He was often lonely, and Paul and I, found out later, very depressed. Jason changed all that. I told Paul a while ago that Jason was a miracle, sent specifically for Don. In doing so, I had to examine my own beliefs. Then this terrible thing with Sam happened, and Don practiced once again what he always preached, that love for another is the greatest power on earth. I know that Don saved Jason's life, because he loves him more than anything in this world. I have learned that God is working in Don's life, and he must not be finished, because Don's love for Jason, and Jason's love for Don has brought them both from deaths door, back to us here tonight. Paul and I are going to getting married, and we're doing it in a church, and the reasons for both are because of the example that Don has consistently shown to us both. The example that, love, is what matters above everything else in our lives." I had tears streaming down my face as I whispered, "Thank you" to Tom. Tom looked over at Chris, and nodded. Chris began, "I have know Don for over twenty years. We first met as teenagers working our first job. Don was a friend of my brothers, and it seemed we just became friends overnight. We did a lot of crazy stuff back then, but Don had this faith in the world, that it could become a better place. Over the years we have drifted apart and come back together several times. I have seen him grow, just as he has watched my life change. Don only told me a month ago that he was gay and I practically had to drag it out of him. I had suspected for a while, but didn't know how to approach him. Don was worried that if he told me, it would cause me hurt, pain, or grief. He was always like that over the years. Constantly worried about other people, before himself. I am very proud to have a friend like Don. I am so happy that he has met Jason. I don't know Jason very well yet, but I will be getting to know him, because if he is important to Don, then Jason is important to all of us. I love you bud. Always have and always will, no matter what." The whole room had glassy eyes. Chris looked Paul and nodded. Paul voice was noticeably quivering, "Don is my friend, but more importantly, I am Don's friend. We met at college, and became instant friends. We have laughed, cried, danced, sang, gossiped, worked, and played together. Don thinks of me as his brother. He tells everyone that, so it's no secret. I have watched him and Jason like a hawk since they met. I wanted to make sure Don didn't get hurt again. I knew that Sam had caused Don a lot of pain in their relationship, but Don never told any of us how bad things were with Sam, because he always tried to protect his friends from anything that was evil, and as we all know, Sam was evil. Jason turned Don's life around in an instant. I was cautiously optimistic at first, but I could see as the hours went by that what Don and Jason shared was a love that was limitless. I know how Don feels about love, because he lives it every single day. I know that Jason and Don will be together forever, hear on earth and beyond. In two weeks time they have a love that most couples, gay or straight, never see in a lifetime. Tom and I decided to get married because we know that our love will see us through anything life throws at us. Don and Jason have taught us both that. I love you my friend and my brother. This is your time for happiness; you've earned it. I know that Jason will take good care of you, because he loves you as much as you love him." Paul was crying to hard to speak anymore, and as I looked around the room, many were shedding tears. I began, "I don't know what I can say except thank you. You all are important to me, and I love you all. I have Chris, my oldest friend, here with me, and Mike, my newest friend, is here also. My family is here, along with my boss, and Jason's boss. My three closest friends are here, and we've shared so much the past few years. I believe that love is the most powerful force on earth, because God is intertwined with love. I have always had a lot of faith in humanity, that if humans used the power of love in a positive way, the world could be changed for the better. I still believe that to be true. After Sam and I split, I never thought I would find someone special. I hoped and dreamed a lot, but didn't think it would happen for me. Then Jason came into my world. It was love at first sight. Jason says it has been like a whirlwind romance. It was even faster and much more powerful than that. We both knew, I think, the moment we first shook hands. Love started at that point, and grew by leaps and bounds. Love is powerful, and has overcome evil itself. I am still here because of Jason's love for me, and my love for him. There is nothing on this earth that can overpower that love, as long as we continue to nurture it. That is the secret. Love must be nurtured. Jason and I have done that since we first met, and I believe we will continue to nurture this love throughout our lives. I am so very proud to have you all here with me. Jason I Love You. You are my life, my hope, and my future." I gave Jason a loving kiss. Jason continued, "The other reason I wanted all of you here tonight is to be my witnesses." Jason reached in his pocket and pulled out a little black box. I looked in Jason's loving eyes, as he continued, "Don. You and I know that we have a love that is special, unique, and will last all our lives. I have waited my whole life for you and then thought I might loose you. I don't want to tempt fate again. Don. I want you for my life partner. Will you marry me?" I beamed a smile as first, my eyes gave Jason his answer, followed by my voice. "Yes Jason. I will be your life partner, and I will marry you." Tom immediately lifted his wineglass and toasted, "To Don and Jason." Everyone in the room raised their glasses, "To Don and Jason." Jason opened the box and removed a slender gold ring with an opal in the center, and slipped it on my ring finger. We hugged and kissed as everyone clapped their hands. I whispered to Jason, "I love you Jason." Jason whispered back, "I love you Don." Everyone took turns coming up and congratulating us. My mom had this proud look in her eyes that I hadn't seen in many years. My sister cried, which I hadn't seen in even more years. Chris was ecstatic, and went to call his brother, whom I'm sure would probably stroke out when he found out first that I was gay, and then that I was getting married to a man. I whispered this to Jason and we both giggled. Laura and Pam insisted that they handle the wedding when we decided on a date, and I told them they would have to work with Paul and Tom, cause I knew they would want to be in charge of the whole affair. Mike and Robert were like a couple of kids, happy that they were gonna be a part of it all. Eventually everyone began to leave for the evening, and by 11pm, Jason and I shared the apartment only with Brandon. Jason led me to the bedroom, and had me crawl into bed so he could change my dressings. Brandon took his place at the foot of the bed, while Jason fussed over me. Then Jason began to remove his shirt. I stated, "Jason, let me do that." I sat up on the edge of the bed and Jason stood in front of me. I slowly lifted his shirt over his head and softly kissed his powerful chest. Then I undid the button of his pants, slid the zipper down, and let his pants fall to the ground. Jason climbed onto the bed next to me, and gently leaned me back and gave me a passionate kiss. After breaking from the kiss, I looked in Jason's eyes and whispered, "What day do you have in mind?" Jason smiled as he whispered, "I think the second Saturday in December. I know Christmas is your favorite time of year, so lets make it close to then. You will be out of school on holiday break, so we will have time for a long, slow, honeymoon." I smiled, "That would be perfect babe. I love you so much. You have made me very happy." Jason cooed, "I love you my sweet prince, and you have made me the happiest guy on earth." I whispered, "Jason, I'm gonna fall asleep soon. Just hold me tonight. I'll make it up to ya in the morning." Jason giggled, "You don't have to make anything up to me in the morning babe." Jason looked at me seriously, "I am perfectly happy just holding you. Whenever you want to be held, you just ask." Jason and I fell asleep that way, entwined in each other's arms, and filled with pleasant dreams. Jason---A Love Story Chapter 13. Part 3. Jason and Tom bantered back and forth, and then Jason asked, "Is my surprise ready?" Tom giggled, "Yes Jason, everything is ready to go, just the way you wanted it. I still can't believe you pulled this off. Now calm down will ya, or your gonna make me nervous." Jason paced back and forth. "You're sure Don doesn't suspect anything?" Tom laughed, "Jason, relax man, Paul and Chris have had Don sequestered since 8am. He's totally clueless." Jason smiled brightly, "Good. I want this to be the ultimate surprise of his life." Tom looked at his watch as a knock came on the door. Robert's voice asked, "You guys ready in there? It's about time to go." Tom opened the door, and he and Jason left the little room and proceeded down the long hallway to their destination. I was a bundle of nerves, as I again asked, "Is it time yet Paul?" Paul laughed, "Almost Don, now sit your ass down, or I'll have Chris sit on your ass so you can't move." Chris burst out in hysterics as he came and sat next to me. "You ready, COCK?" I replied, "As ready as I'm ever gonna be, DICK!" Paul snickered, "You two are so strange. I can't believe you do that when you're in public." I laughed, "You think this is bad Paul? You should have know us when we were both teenagers." Paul glanced at his watch. A knock came at the door and Mike's voice asked, "You ready guys? It's time to go." Paul stated, "Ok Mike. Let's get moving guys, we don't want Don running late!!" Paul opened the door, and the three of us exited the room; proceeding with Mike up the long hallway. The auditorium was filled to capacity with friends, family, and the media. This was the event so many had waited a lifetime for. The media had followed Jason and I, after the shooting with Sam sparked a renewed interest in the movement for hate crimes and domestic violence legislation in Virginia. I took my place in the foyer of the 100 year old Unitarian Church, as I heard the organ begin to play "My Heart Will Go On," the love theme from Titanic. Jill's kids were first in the line, and they began to walk into the auditorium dropping handfuls of rose petals with each step they took. I could see the flash of camera lights, as they presented almost a strobe like effect, while the children marched down the center isle. Following the children was Mike. He smiled brightly at Robert as he proceeded down the isle. Next was Paul, my best man. He looked especially dashing in his black tux with the lavender cummerbund and bow tie. Paul gracefully strutted down the isle until he reached the front of the auditorium and then moved to the right side, standing to Mikes left. Now it was my turn. I locked my arm in Christopher's and we turned the corner and stood in the door way to the church auditorium. I was stunned as I glanced in and saw a full symphony orchestra arranged in the choir loft. Then I saw the love of my life standing there with an angelic smile on his face. I thought, "Jason, what are you up to now?" Chris and I stepped forward as the orchestra began to play the "The Processional March," from The Sound of Music, while those in attendance rose to their feet. Chris helped to hold me steady as I focused on Jason and began to walk down the center isle. Camera's flashed from every direction as I passed by the rows of pews on my way to Jason at the front of the century old church. I glanced over to Tom and Robert as they stood beside Jason, both projecting smiles that could have lit up an entire room. I stopped at the isle where my mom was standing, and kissed her briefly. Then Chris escorted me to Jason, gave us both a hug, and placed my left hand in Jason right hand and we turned to face the front of the auditorium. The Reverend Mel White stood in front of us and began, "Ladies and gentlemen, friends and family, we are here today to celebrate in the commitment and marriage of two very special people. Who gives Jason and Don to each other here today?" Chris emphatically stated, "Their friends and I do." Reverend White continued, "Before we start the rest of the proceedings, Jason has arranged for a special surprise for Don. Don this from Jason, with all his love." With that said, the orchestra began to play the introduction to Andrew Lloyd Webber's, "All I Ask of You," from Phantom of the Opera. I noticed the doors at each side of the choir area in front of us open. Out of the left door strolled a man, and I almost lost it as my jaw dropped practically to the floor. Walking toward us was Elton John. I could hear gasps of surprise from the congregation behind us, as I quickly glanced towards the right door, and out of it stepped a beautiful young woman. I looked at Jason, and whispered, "It can't be. Oh Jason, it is." Walking towards Jason and I was Sarah Brightman. Elton and Sarah both picked up microphones that were placed next to the orchestra, and then turned so they stood facing us and began to sing. Elton John: No more talk of darkness, forget these wide-eyed fears; I'm here, nothing can harm you, my words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom, let daylight dry your tears; I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you. Sara Brightman: Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment; turn my head with talk of summertime. Say you need me with you now and always; promise me that all you say is true, that's all I ask of you. Elton John: Let me be your shelter, let me be your light; you're safe, no one will find you, your fears are far behind you. Sarah Brightman: All I want is freedom, a world with no more night; and you, always beside me, to hold me and to hide me. Elton John: Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime; let me lead you from your solitude. Say you want me with you, here beside you, anywhere you go, let me go too, that's all I ask of you. Sarah Brightman: Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Sarah and Elton: Say the word and I will follow you. Share each day with me, each night, each morning. Sarah Brightman: Say you love me ... Elton John: You know I do. Sarah and Elton: Love me, that's all I ask of you ... Love me, that's all I ask of you. I had tears rolling down my face throughout the song, and as Sarah and Elton finished singing, the congregation began applauding fervently. Sarah and Elton stepped forward and they each shook hands with Jason and I before taking their seats in the front row of the auditorium. The Reverend White once again stood before us and began, "Jason and Don, the marriage ceremony is an outward commitment of what is found deep in your hearts. God instituted marriage as a symbol of the profound love he has for all mankind, whether they be gay, straight, black, white, or any other color found in the rainbow. Because God has instituted this symbol, you must not enter into it lightly, or without a total commitment to sustain each other's love. After speaking with each of you separately and then together, I am convinced of your commitment to each other. You are the shining example of what love is all about on our earthly journey. Ladies and gentlemen, Jason and Don have each written words that they wish to share with each other, and with you, concerning their love for each other." Jason and I turned so we were facing each other, and then Jason took both my hands in his, and began, Jason: "Don, my sweet prince, I fell in love with you the first time we touched each others hands at the picnic last summer. You are the answer to all the prayers I've offered in my lifetime. You are an amazing individual. Everyday I learn something new from you. You have taught me so many things since we met, but most of all you have taught me what love is all about, by your shining example of how you treat strangers, friends, but most of all how you treat and care for me. The first night we spent together, you told me about love, and gave me examples from your life, including everyone from Brandon, your dog, to the friends we have standing here with us today. You explained that love exists on various levels and plains in our lives. You've shown me love on each of these levels everyday since we first met. Then you showed me the meaning of unconditional love by unselfishly protecting me from death's jaws. God has truly blessed me since meeting you, with good friends, an enriched life, and the love of a man that knows no boundaries. Today I am here to pledge my undying love for you, and my commitment to nurture that love throughout our lives. I love you Don. You are my favorite philosopher, my best friend, my perfect lover, and my very sweet, sweet prince." Don: "Jason, my love. I fell in love with you the first moment my eyes caught a glimpse of you. With the first kiss between us, I knew you were meant to be my life partner. You are also an amazing individual. You listen when I need to talk, you hold me when I need to feel protected, and you love me when I feel rejected by the outside world. You have taught me that all my beliefs about love are indeed true. You rescued me from the depths of depression the very first day we met. Your love is the reason I am still alive today. You have a romantic heart, which is evidenced in everything you do for me, including what is transpiring here today. God has once again won a victory over hatred, because of the power of love, and you and I stand here today as evidence of that victory. God has truly blessed me since meeting you, with happiness in my life, peacefulness in my thoughts, and the never ending love a man I could only dream about, such a short time ago. Today I am here to pledge my undying love for you, and my commitment to nurture that love throughout all eternity. I love you Jason. You are my best friend, my extraordinary lover, my life, and my hope. You are my one and only, Jason." The Reverend White then offered a short prayer for our continued commitment as a couple, before continuing, "Don and Jason have picked a scripture for today's ceremony, and Don will now read to you from I Corinthians, chapter 13." Jason and I turned to face the congregation. Don: "Before I begin the scripture, I have to tell you all how much Jason and I appreciate you sharing this day with us. Jason and I truly believe in the power of love. We have both seen it work miracles in our lives. Because we are blessed by the presence of the media today, Jason and I want to extend a plea to all those who will watch and listen to our ceremony. Focus on love in your lives so together we can end all the pain and suffering throughout the world. Love conquers differences of any nature, defeats powers that are evil, and calms even the most troubled soul. Love is God's most awesome gift to us and he expects us to use it as such. Jason says that I am a philosopher, and maybe that's true. So I will ask you now too please listen and reflect on these words about love, because they contain a power so perfect, that it can make a difference in our world." Jason took my hand as I began, "And now I will show you the most excellent way. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing." "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Love is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and it ALWAYS perseveres." "Love never ever fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. And now these three things will remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is LOVE!!" Jason and I turned back to face the Reverend White, and he began, "Jason, do you take Don as your life long partner, committing to him you life and your love, whether you both are rich or poor, sick or well, accepting each others imperfections as part of Gods gifts to each of you, until it is time for you to leave this earth and journey on together throughout eternity?'' Jason replied, emphatically, "I DO!!" The Reverend White continued, "Don, do you take Jason as your life long partner, committing to him you life and your love, whether you both are rich or poor, sick or well, accepting each others imperfections as part of Gods gifts to each of you, until it is time for you to leave this earth and journey on together throughout eternity?'' I responded, exuberantly, "I DO!!" Then Paul and Tom each handed us our rings and we quietly slipped them on each other's ring fingers as the minister told how the rings symbolized the never ending circle of love and friendship that would fill our lives. The Reverend White continued, "By God's command, your friends and family present today are charged with helping to nurture your commitment. What God has witnessed here today, let no man dare interfere with. Ok you two, lets see a kiss to seal your covenant to each other." Jason pulled me into a heartfelt, mind-altering kiss. "Ladies and gentleman, join me in congratulating Jason and Don on their new life together." The congregation was immediately on their feet, and began applauding as Jason and I turned to face them, holding hands and smiling brightly. The orchestra began playing Mendelssohn's, "Wedding March," as Jason and I briskly walked up the aisle to the back of the auditorium, followed by Tom and Paul, and then Robert and Mike. Once we entered the foyer, I pulled Jason into another kiss. Our tongues brushed against each other brightly. When we broke from the kiss, I looked into Jason's perfect eyes and smiled, "How did you ever get Sarah and Elton to come here?" Jason giggled, "I have my ways babe. That is a story I'll save for another time. This is our special day, so it has to be full of surprises for you." I looked over at Tom and Paul and said, "How did you ever keep this a secret Paul?" Paul laughed, "It was easy, Tom and Jason didn't tell me what was going on till late last night. They figured I could keep quiet for a couple of hours today." We all laughed heartily. Soon many others joined Jason and me as the congregation began leaving the auditorium. Jason and I thanked every one that stopped along the way. Finally Elton and Sarah came up to us and congratulated Jason and I, and wished us both all the best in our life ahead. They both had other engagements to keep so they could not stay for the reception that was to follow. After taking pictures, Jason and I climbed into the limousine that waited for us, along with the rest of the wedding party, and we sped off to the reception hall. The reception was held at an upscale club in our community. Jason and I originally had planned a simple meal, but with Tom and Paul, along with Laura and Pam, we were outvoted. The hall was beautifully decorated with Christmas trees of every size and shape, lit with thousands of tiny lights of every conceivable color and pattern one could imagine. Jason and I had decided that the press would not be allowed at the reception, and Mike was able to convince several of his FBI mates to stand guard so our wishes were honored. The hall was filled with elegant ice sculptures and champagne fountains. There were two tables set up with gigantic shrimp trees, watermelon baskets, fresh strawberry trees, several different vegetable and seafood dips, and a variety of cut fresh vegetable trays. Jason and I together went from table to table visiting with friends and family as they munched on the pre-meal snacks. The stage was staffed with a band that played appropriate dinner music. The buffet table was finally set up, and was filled with various meats, vegetables, potatoes, and a variety of breads. At the end of the buffet table stood a huge steamship round of beef, which was carved to the guests liking. Jason and I were first in line, of course, and enjoyed picking food out and putting it on the others plate. Once the majority of the crowd had finished eating, Tom and Paul motioned for the wait staff to serve everyone a glass of champagne. Paul, Tom, and Chris took center stage and began the festivities for the evening. Tom took the microphone, and began, "Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention. I would like to propose a toast." The guests immediately took their seats and Tom continued, "Jason and Don. What more could I say than I love you both so very much. You are my best friends. I hope for you a long, happy, and loving life. Paul and I look to you for our constant inspiration in how we face the world each day. You are the perfect couple. Here's to a life filled with fun times, great friends, and all the worlds bounties." We all took a sip of champagne, and then Paul took the microphone, and began, "You know I'll never get through this without crying. Jason and Don, I love you both so much. You deserve only the best things in life. You both give so much to me and Tom, guiding and directing us so we make good decisions in our lives. We wouldn't be the successful couple we are if it wasn't for your friendship." Paul stopped to wipe away his tears, then continued, "Here's to my best friends, Don and Jason. Health, happiness, and lots of good sex!" The crowd all started laughing, even my mother, as they took another sip of champagne. Then Chris took the microphone, and began, "Don and Jason. You guys are amazing. You give me hope for a better world for my kids. Jason, you are the luckiest guy I know, cause you snagged the most thoughtful man on the planet. Don, you are also the luckiest guy I know, cause my girl says you snagged the best looking guy in the state. Seriously though, my friend, Jason is a good man, and he makes you smile. What more could you want. Here's to Jason and Don. Keep making each other smile, and you'll have a life filled with riches beyond you fondest dreams." Everyone finished their champagne, and then Chris began again, "Can I have Jason and Don here on the dance floor? Jason and I moved to the dance floor, and then the lights went dim until only a spotlight shown on Chris' face, and he continued, "So Don, did you like Jason's little surprise today at the church?" I stated, "You know I did. Sarah Brightman and Elton John on the same stage. What's not to like?" Chris continued, "Well, Don, Jason has one more little surprise for you tonight, other than when he gets you in bed later." The guests all laughed heartily, then Chris continued, "Don, there is someone here tonight who is quite anxious to meet you." A familiar beat began as the spotlight moved to the entrance of the hall, and a voice began to speak, "I hear my biggest fan got himself hitched today." Jason smiled, as I looked in his eyes and spoke, "Jason, it can't be, she is in Europe touring." Jason continued to smile, as the voice once again pervaded the hall. "Don, it can be. Jason and your friends can be quite convincing, and with my daughter in on the plan, how could I refuse. The spotlight widened as the music engulfed the hall and Cher began to sing as she worked her way towards Jason and I. "Believe" resounded from the speakers as Cher, Jason, and I began to dance to the beat of my favorite song. Following "Believe," Cher performed a twenty minute mix of many of her greatest hits while our guests joined us and danced their asses of to the performer that any age group could identify with. After the set Cher talked quietly with Jason and I, and explained how Jason, Tom, Paul, Chris, Robert, and Mike had convinced her to come. It seems Mike had an in with Chastity, and after relaying the story of Jason and I to her, along with a letter writing campaign from my friends, she convinced Cher to make the trip. Cher stayed for about another hour and talked with various guests, enjoying the chance to mingle with fans that weren't going bonkers, before leaving to return to her tour. I must have thanked Jason and the guys a thousand times that night, before the crowd finally started to thin, as people began to journey home. Eventually, only Jason and our closest friends remained, and we decided that it would be time for us to escape to our secret destination. Paul came up and hugged us both, "So where ya goin' tonight?" Jason and I both giggled, "We'll never tell." Paul gave us the puppy dog look and we all started laughing. Jason and I started to say our good-byes to the guys, making sure to hug them all and express our thanks for a wonderful wedding day. The limo pulled around to the hall entrance and Jason and I made a quick exit, while Mike made sure that the reporters, along with Paul and Tom, could not follow us. This was one night we wanted to be alone. The limo proceeded to take us downtown to the most expensive hotel in the area, where we departed from the vehicle and quickly entered the tall building. Jason swiftly collected the room key, and then we briskly walked to the elevator, and rode it to the top floor. Exiting the elevator, we walked to our room at the end of the hall. As I reached for the door Jason stated, "Wait Don. I'm not breaking tradition." Jason scooped me up in his arms, and carried me into the honeymoon suite, while I planted kisses all over his face. Jason kicked the door closed, and then carried me over to the heart shaped bed, where he gently put me down onto the beds soft surface. I looked up into Jason's eyes, and smiled, "I love you husband." Jason leaned down and kissed me briefly, then whispered, "I love you too, husband." I smiled at Jason once again and softly cooed, "Thank you for a wonderful wedding Jason. I knew it would be perfect, but you made it divine." Jason leaned in and kissed me again, then took my hands and pulled me up from the bed. I looked deep within his alluring eyes, and he did the same with me. Words didn't have to be spoken as we slowly began undressing each other. I looked at my god like husband as though I had never seen him before. He was still the most beautiful man on earth. Touching his broad shoulders and well-defined chest still sent shivers of passion throughout my being. When Jason caressed my back and then played with my nipples, I still gasped in ecstasy, as though it were the first time. Jason did the same as I caressed him, as his eyes filled with lust and he vocalized his pleasure with soft moaning sounds. I slowly removed Jason's pants and let them slip to the floor. Once he stepped out of them, he performed the same action on me. We stood facing each other, dressed only in our boxers as I whispered, "Make love to me Jason. I want my husband inside me." Jason picked me up in his arms again, and carefully crawled onto the heart shaped bed placing me on my back in the center. Jason crawled on top of me and we began passionately kissing, mixing saliva and our tongues together. Jason slowly ground his hard cock against mine, through the cotton material of our briefs, while we kissed. Jason's hands worked down to my boxers and he slowly removed them, never breaking from our kiss. I pushed Jason's boxers over his beautiful bubble butt, and then used my feet to push them from his body. As Jason continued to kiss me, I spread my legs wide and pulled them back, opening up my ass for him. Jason cock slid across my anal opening, and I moaned, "Oh Jason, I love you." Jason whispered in my ear, "I love you too Don." We continued to kiss as Jason's precum began to lubricate my ass. Jason and I moaned quietly to each other, as we both understood this time was going to be slow and quiet, since there was always time for fast and furious later. Jason whispered in my ear, ''Are you ready husband?" I nodded, "Yes" as Jason pushed his huge mushroom head through my anal opening. I moaned, "Oh Jason, love me babe." Jason began a slow rhythmic in and out motion, causing me to gasp and moan each time his cock crossed my prostrate. Jason whispered, "Oh Don, you are making me feel so good. I love you my sweet prince." Jason continued the synchronized movement as I continued to coo, ''Oh yes, Jason. Yes, that feels so good. Oh take me babe. I am yours always. Oh Jason, yes." Jason cooed back, "Oh Don. Oh babe, I love you. Oh yes, yes. I love being inside you." Jason took my drooling cock into his hands and began to slowly pump the length of it. I moaned, "Oh Jason, I'm so close. Please cum with me." Jason groaned, "I'm ready to cum Don. Cum with me babe." I began to explode as cum flew through the air, landing far behind my head at first and then globs plopped on my chest and stomach. I could feel Jason's cock launching his seed deep inside me. We were both breathing hard as we once again engaged in a passionate kiss. Several minutes later we broke apart, and looking into each other's eyes, once again professed our love for one another. Jason and I made love several more times that night, before drifting off to sleep around 5am. We woke shortly after noon and quickly showered, and then left the hotel. Jason had parked his car in the garage the previous day, so we threw out suitcases in the trunk and drove back to our home. Jason and I entered the apartment to find Tom and Paul intertwined on the couch, Robert and Mike asleep on the bed, and Brandon snoozing by the hot tub, while Chris was enjoying the bubbles. I joked, "Did the boys all drive you out here last night Chris?" Chris laughed, "Actually Paul, Tom, and I stayed up most of the night talking. But Robert and Mike were insatiable, and I swear I heard one of them hollering 'fuck me with your toe' half the night." Jason and I burst out laughing, "Robert!!!!" Chris asked, "You guys have time for some brunch before the airport?" Jason and I both nodded "Yes," and then left the patio so Chris could dress. We quietly slipped from the apartment, and walked to Paul's cafe for some omelets and coffee. Chris was deep in thought, and Jason asked, "What's up Chris?" Chris responded, ''Just thinking. I really want to thank you both for letting me share in so much with you over the last few months. I finally feel like I belong here, and have made some good friends. Even my girl has a better sense of belonging since meeting you guys. She, Pam, and Laura have really hit it off. You two really do work miracles on everyone around you." Jason and I smiled at each other, then happily stated, "Thanks Chris. We're both glad to have you in our lives too." We finished eating and bantered lightly while sipping on coffee, before sauntering back to the apartment. When we returned we found the other guys showered and dressed. Paul giggled, ''Hey Don, did Jason get ya pregnant last night?" We all laughed lightly, as I responded, ''Eight times Paul, I think that breaks your record." The guys all cracked up laughing. Jason and I gathered up our suitcases, and packed a few more items for our honeymoon, a Caribbean cruise that we were going on. Jill and my mom showed up a few minutes later along with Laura, Pam, and Chris' girlfriend. We all piled into various cars and drove out to the airport. Jason and I checked our luggage with the attendant, and then we all walked into the waiting area. As time drew near for our departure, Jason and I made the rounds, kissing and hugging each member of our group. Finally we came to Paul and Tom and we all had tears in our eyes as we hugged goodbye. I spoke quietly, "Paul and Tom, this day wouldn't have happened without you both. Do you remember how you two insisted I go to the picnic?" Paul giggled, then Jason continued, "You two are the reason Don and I met. Remember that, cause you are both the miracle workers in our lives." Jason and I waved to everyone and remarked, "Be good y'all. We'll see ya in two weeks." Jason and I stepped up to the attendant, gave her our tickets, and then went to board the plane. We could see our friends and family waving from our window in the plane, so we waved back to them. The engines started to roar, and soon the plane was sailing down the runway. Jason and I smiled at each other and then leaned back to relax as the plane climbed into the air. I whispered, "I love you Jason. Jason whispered, "Love ya too my sweet prince." Jason and I looked deep into each other's eyes, seeing the love in each other's hearts, as we soared off to our next adventure. THE END This concludes Jason--A Love Story. Once again I thank you all for reading my story. I also need to thank the many readers who emailed me, keeping me motivated to finish the adventure. Now, to all those who are thinking, this chapter is a bit far fetched, I can only say, return to chapter one and re-read the introduction. This has been my fantasy love story. Yes, the characters in it are real people in my life, and yes, many of the topics and issues raised happened to me, or are issues I have been concerned with that affect the gay community at large. However, this has been, as I said it would be, an epic love story. So please no nasty emails about the wedding. Jason and Don's adventure was one filled with love and good friends. These are the two most important ingredients in a happy existence as far as I am concerned. Money and all the rest can only be icing on the cake. I have tried to stress the importance of love in ones life throughout the story because I am passionate about things I believe in. I do believe that love can conquer and win any battle. It may happen by twists and turns, and it may take years to win, but eventually love does persevere. That's the message behind the final chapter, in its "Dynasty" like scenario. I had a blast writing this chapter, because I just let my imagination run free, and included all my favorite dreams into one chapter. What's next? I have several ideas brewing for another story, and possibly "Jason"--Book 2, the adventure continues. But school has to take prescience for now, so we'll see what happens. Again thanks for reading, and wish me luck. I am going to print and bind a copy of "Jason" and give it to the real Jason for Christmas. I am hoping he will enjoy it as much as many of you have. Once again, send your thoughts and concerns to donnrs2000@mindspring.com. Peace, hugs, happiness, and most of all, much Love to you all, Don and Brandon the Dog.
