Love at Last
by Adam Stewart

Author's note: If you've read 'Moving Forward' you'll know all about Adam
and Luke and how they met. This story continues their journey.

Chapter 16

The next two years went by just as fast. They had spent several periods at
the guest house in Cap Ferrat and mixed with the guests on occasions. Luke
was very pleased with the way things were going and congratulated Carlos
and Andres who made perfect hosts. Everyone loved them.


It was Adi's twenty first birthday and Adam and Luke arranged a party for
him with all their friends. He loved all the attention and everyone wanted
to know all about his porn film work.

"He's now been asked to perform in a play" Adam said casually. Everyone
wanted to know more and Adi explained that a producer who knows Rafael had
asked for someone to play a small part in a gay play that was being shown
in one of the London fringe theatres. The person taking the part had to be
willing to be naked most of the play and do sex scenes. Rafael immediately
thought of Adi and when the producer met him he knew he'd got the right
guy. Adi was a natural and didn't have the slightest concern about being
naked in front of an audience.

When Adam told them all when and where it was on, they all said they'd book
tickets to see it. Rehearsals were already well underway and the play was
opening in a week's time.


On the opening night of the play, Adam and Luke got to the theatre early so
as to get his wheelchair in place. It was a small theatre and only seated
about sixty people. Adam noted that all the audience were guys and eagerly
looking forward to seeing the play which had been listed as having 'nudity
and scenes of a sexual nature'.

When the audience were allowed in, they found two guys in bed. One was Adi
and another was a white guy. They were partly covered by a sheet but they
could see that both guys were stark naked and Adi's butt was pumping up and
down. The atmosphere was electric and everyone looked intently at Adi's
partly exposed butt.

The play started and the pair on stage made all the usual sounds of two
guys having sex until Adi cried out "Oh fuck, I'm coming". The audience
giggled and watched the pair gradually complete their sexual act before
lying side by side to talk.

From the dialogue it appeared that Adi was the escort and the other guy,
who was older, had a boyfriend.

"Does he know you fuck around then?" Adi asks grinning.

"Fuck no; he'd kill me if he found out"

The audience all laughed knowing how common that was said during casual
sex.

More sex takes place and Adi disappears under the sheet appearing to suck
the other guy off. The sheet gradually uncovers them but you never actually
see a cock in Adi's mouth. The guy is soon going through the motions of
shooting his load and Adi appears again looking very pleased with his
efforts.

The two guys then get out of bed and show off their full nudity to the
audience as they get dressed. Everyone notices that Adi has a slight
hard-on and grin. Once dressed, the other guy pays Adi his fee and he goes
off stage.

The next scene moves to another bedroom that has been set up on the other
half of the stage. Adi is seen arriving and a different guy greets
him. They gradually undress each other and get into bed. More simulated sex
takes place and once again Adi's naked arse is seen pumping up and
down. When he's finished fucking, they talk and it comes to light that this
guy also has a boyfriend and that he too would be horrified if he knew that
his boyfriend was having sex with an escort. As they talk it becomes clear
that the two guys are in fact boyfriends. Adi asks more pertinent questions
to clarify the point and grins. He realises that he is fucking both
boyfriends!

The play shuffles back and forth between the two guys and various things
take place but eventually whilst Adi is with one of them the other turns up
so their infidelity is exposed. Adi gives the game away by calling the
other guy by name and both guys realise they've been fucking the same
escort.

The three guys were excellent in their parts and the audience gave them a
standing ovation at the end. Adi looked over to where Adam and Luke were
sitting and grinned.

As they left and waited for Adi to join them outside Luke said "He was
fucking brilliant wasn't he?"

"Yep he certainly was. That guy's talents never cease to amaze me."

Soon Adi appeared and they all hugged and kissed. Several other guys came
up to him and said what a fantastic performance he'd given. The play was on
for two weeks and was sold out every night. The producer told Adi that he
would certainly be using him again so Adi's stage career had been launched!


A few days later after the play had finished its run, Ron asked Adi if he
would give his twin brother an erotic massage.

"He's also gay and he's over here from Australia for a few weeks. I've told
him all about you Adi and he'd love to have the same treatment if you're
willing."

Adi said he'd love to so a date was arranged for him to visit the brother
at a very smart hotel in Park Lane. He had been told to go straight up to
the room and when the door opened it was like looking at Ron as they were
identical.

"Hi I'm Michael" the guy said inviting Adi into the suite of rooms. Adi
shook the guy's hand and couldn't believe how alike he was to Ron. The only
difference was the Australian twang to his voice.

"I understand you normally strip off for Ron and join him for a drink
before we get down to business"

Adi grinned and immediately stripped off naked.

"Wow, I can see why Ron likes you so much" Michael said as he looked Adi's
nakedness up and down.

Michael was wearing a hotel robe but that was soon discarded. He too had a
nice looking body with a firm butt that Adi took in whilst he got them both
drinks.

Michael then gave Adi his drink and stood in front of him. His cock was
growing by the minute so Adi took it into his mouth and started sucking.

"Oh yes that feels good" Michael exclaimed as he felt Adi's hot lips round
his cock.

After a while, he pulled out of Adi's mouth and knelt down to suck Adi's
now erect organ.

"Mm, that is gorgeous and I love black cock"

Having downed his drink, Michael then took hold of Adi's hand and led him
into the bedroom.

"I take it you're staying the night" Michael said leading Adi to the large
bed.

Adi confirmed he was since he'd already received the fee from Ron.

"Good, so let's get to know each other then we can have a bath together and
then more sex if that's okay"

Adi grinned and let Michael suck his cock again. He in fact licked all over
Adi's body and took each ball into his mouth and rimmed his arse having got
Adi bent doubled over a chair. Adi could feel Michael pulling open his hole
and pushing his hot tongue inside. If anything Michael was even better than
Ron. It felt wonderful.

Suddenly Michael changed places with Adi and told him to fuck him. His hole
was nicely open and also nicely lubed ready to be fucked. Adi slipped on a
condom and inserted his long black cock into the inviting orifice.

"Oh yes, that feels wonderful; god you can fuck" Michael exclaimed whilst
Adi thrust in and out.

After about twenty thrusts in and out, Michael told Adi to stop.

"Let's have a bath and then we can start again" Michael said grinning as he
led Adi into the bathroom where a large bath was already filled with
water. Michael then switched on the Jacuzzi and the bubbles tickled Adi's
nakedness. Michael was immediately all over him and sucked him under water
and fingered his arse. Eventually he sat beside Adi and they soaked for a
while.

"So you into any kinky things Adi?"

Adi said he did most things and had with him a whip and some handcuffs.

"Oh yes, I love being handcuffed whilst being fucked and I like being
whipped" Michael exclaimed excitedly.

After a while they got out of the bath, dried off and returned to the
bedroom. There was no means of fixing the cuffs to the bed head so Adi
cuffed Michael's hands behind his back and told him to kneel on the bed
with his head down on the pillow. Adi then used the whip on Michael's bare
arse until it was showing signs of redness. "Keep on whipping Adi, I love
it" Michael screamed.

Adi gave Michael another twenty hard lashes and Michael was wetting himself
with delight. He then told Adi to fuck him again "But this time I want you
to thrust your cock straight in and fuck me real hard".

Adi did just that and felt his balls crashing against Michael's.

"And don't you shoot your load yet. I want to take that in my mouth"
Michael ordered him.

When Adi knew his seed was rising he withdrew and pushed Michael onto his
side. He then thrust his cock into his mouth and fucked himself. He was
soon shooting his load of hot white cum and Michael had a job to take it
all. Thrust after thrust brought yet more cum and Michael loved it.

"Fucking hell, you can sure shoot cum" Michael said when he could finally
speak.

Michael grinned and asked Michael if he wanted him to suck him off whilst
he still had his hands cuffed. Michael said he would so Adi slowly sucked
him off. Michael was screaming obscenities as he did so. Adi used all the
techniques he knew to bring Michael to the boil and then ease off just when
Michael thought he was going to shoot. After about the sixth time of doing
this Michael's balls were aching to shoot their load. Suddenly he did and
his whole body tensed. Adi took the lot and drained it until it was dry.

"Oh my god" Michael exclaimed when Adi had finally finished sucking, "that
was the best suck I think I've ever had; thank you so much".

They had more drinks and Michael got Adi to fuck him in various positions
in the living room and again in the bedroom. By the time it was morning,
they'd hardly had any sleep. They'd fucked most of the night and each had
shot several loads of cum. When Adi was finally ready to leave, Michael
kissed him and thanked him once again. He then gave him a very big tip and
Adi went off home feeling very pleased indeed.

When he got home he went straight to bed as he was so tired. Adam said he'd
wake him around lunch time.


"Adi, Adi come here quick" Adi suddenly heard as he was slowly waking
up. For a moment he thought he'd dreamt it but soon realised it was Adam
shouting for him. He jumped out of bed and went towards Adam's cries of
help which were coming from the living room.

"Call an ambulance immediately" Adam cried out, "Luke's had a heart attack;
quick please Adi."

Adi shot over to the phone and dialled 999. 'Ambulance please' he shouted
as the operator answered. The operator told him that the call had been made
and an ambulance was on its way but to let her have the address. Adi
quickly gave it and explained that someone was having a heart attack.

When she'd taken all the details and assured him once again that an
ambulance was on its way, he went over to Adam who was in the process of
giving Luke mouth to mouth resuscitation.

"Get dressed Adi; the ambulance will be here shortly"

Adi shot back to his room and flung on the clothes he had stripped off when
he'd got home earlier. Adam then told him to get their coats ready and his
bag with his wallet and things.

"Is he okay?" Adam called out as he collected the items together. He didn't
hear the reply but instead heard the front door buzzer sound. He quickly
opened the door and the ambulance men came rushing in. Adam explained that
Luke had suddenly collapsed whilst he was getting him off the sofa and into
his wheelchair.

"I'm a registered nurse and I've given him CPR" Adam explained as the
ambulance guys took over.

"You've done well; he's breathing albeit weakly" one of the guys told Adam.

"We need to get him to the nearest heart unit" the other said.

Adam said Luke had private medical insurance and told them which hospital
he was under. Adam knew they had one of the best heart units in London. The
ambulance men nodded and got Luke into a chair.

"Can we both come with you?" Adam asked.

The guys nodded and Adam and Adi followed them out. Once in the ambulance,
Luke was given oxygen and Adam was asked to give his name and details. Adam
knew them all off by heart and the necessary forms were soon completed.

"And are you related?" he asked Adam.

"I'm his Civil Partner and this is a friend who lives with us"

The guy smiled and told them both that Luke was doing okay for the
moment. He had attended other situations concerning gays and he could see
that these two guys clearly loved the guy on the bed.

The ambulance sped off and Adi could hear the sirens screeching as they
went. He held Adam's hand as they went and Adam squeezed it to reassure
him. When they reached the hospital things happened so quickly. Fortunately
Adam recognised one of the nurses on duty and asked him to let Dr Anderson
know what had happened. Fortunately he was on duty so he was soon down in
the emergency assessment area. All Adam and Adi could do, was wait whilst
Luke was linked up to loads of electrical equipment.

Suddenly Adam saw Dr Anderson and immediately stood up.

"How is he doc?"

"He's had a massive heart attack Adam; if you hadn't given him immediate
CPR he'd be dead so whatever happens you did all you could."

"Is he going to be okay?" Adi asked quietly not really wanting to know the
answer.

"It's touch and go; we'll have to see how he responds over the next few
hours. I'm really sorry Adam; I know how much you've done for Luke; this
was the last thing we all expected to happen."

"Can we see him" Adi asked whilst Adam took in what the doctor had told
him. Tears were already forming in his eyes and his heart felt it had been
wrenched out.

"Shortly, I'll get the nurse to let you know as soon as he's settled down".

Adam and Adi looked at each other and Adi saw the tears in Adam's eyes. He
immediately hugged Adam and held him tight without saying anything. After a
while, the nurse came out to say they could see Luke but not to tire him,
"He's very weak" she said as she led him into the small room.

Luke was lying in bed with wires coming out of him at all angles. He hardly
noticed the two of them coming into the room and standing either side of
the bed. Adam bent forward and kissed Luke and then sat down and held his
hand. Adi did the same and held his other. Neither of them knew what to
say. Luke was in no fit state to talk so they just sat and let the tears
run down their faces.

How long they stayed like that they didn't know but eventually the nurse
came back in to say they were going to move Luke to a room in one of the
wards since this bed was required. Adam and Adi just followed Luke being
pushed in the bed and along to the lift. Eventually he was settled down
into another room and reconnected to monitors. Adam noticed the heart beat
was very weak but at least it was still beating.

"I'd better let Sam know" Adam suddenly said to Adi.

Adi nodded whilst Adam went outside to make the call.

"Oh my god Adam, I'm so sorry; how is he?" Sam said after Adam had told her
what had happened.

"Not good I'm afraid. Can you let Charles know please?"

"Of course and I'll come along to see you later; I take it visitors are
allowed?"

Adam said he imagined so but he was still in shock and didn't really know
what was happening.


Later in the day, Sam did come by and spent a few minutes with Luke but he
didn't really take her presence in so she left him and came out into the
small ante-room. She looked at Adam and then at Adi and hugged both of
them.

"I just can't believe it" she said with tears in her eyes.

Just then Charles appeared and realised the seriousness of the
situation. He suggested that Sam take Adi downstairs to the café to get a
cup of tea whilst he and Adam went into see Luke. When Charles saw Luke he
was shocked. Luke made no sign of recognising Charles although Adam did get
the feeling that he reacted to Adam holding his hand.

Charles indicated to Adam to come outside with him and once back in the
ante-room he said how shocked he was.

"It doesn't look good does it Adam?"

Adam shook his head in agreement and sat down before his legs gave way.

"All we can do Adam is hope that he manages to get through this. You know
more than anyone what a strong guy Luke is so all going well he will get
through it all."

Adam had seen too many cases of heart attacks and he knew the signs but he
just smiled and nodded.

"Whatever happens Adam you know you've got us to lean on; don't hesitate to
ask for anything you need."

Adam thanked him and Charles left. Adam went back into the room and sat
down beside Luke. He took hold of his hand and squeezed it slightly. Was
there any reaction? He wasn't sure but he hoped Luke knew he was there.

After a while Sam popped her head in and said she'd keep in touch but to
ring her, whatever time day or night if he needed to do so. Adam thanked
her and she left. Adi came into the room and put his arms round Adam.

"He's going to die isn't he?" Adi said tearfully.

"I don't know Adi, I just don't know; all we can do is be beside him so he
knows we still love him"

Adi went the other side of the bed, gave Luke another kiss and sat down. He
took hold of Luke's other hand and the pair of them just sat and waited.


The hours slowly went by and the nurse came in every so often to see how
things were but there was no real change. She asked if they wanted to stay
the night and Adam said they would. She arranged for a more comfy armchair
to be brought in so they could take it in turns to try and get some rest
but they both knew neither of them could sleep.

They did take it in turns and somehow Luke got through the night. The
following morning, the nurse brought them both a cup of tea but Luke showed
no interest in having anything. He was on a drip so there was no real
concern on that front.

"Go and get something to eat Adi" Adam said when they'd finished their tea,
"You must eat something".

Adi looked at Adam and asked what about him, "Just bring me back something
easy to eat and I'll have it here. I can't leave him."

Adi went off to the café again downstairs and bought something for both of
them. He wasn't really hungry but as Adam had said they both needed to eat.

Whilst Adi was out of the room, Luke opened his eyes and smiled at Adam.

"Hi my love; you've given us all a shock; how you feeling?"

Luke didn't answer the question but instead said "You will stay with Adi
won't you?"

Adam looked at him wondering what he meant, "Of course I will, we both will
my love".

Again Luke didn't comment but just said, "Everything's in order; you'll be
okay and I've made provision for Adi so don't worry my love".

By the time Adi returned Adam was crying his eyes out and Adi immediately
thought the worse had happened. He then realised that the monitor was still
showing signs of life so immediately went round to Adam.

"What is it Adam?"

Adam just shook his head and let the tears fall down his face. Adi hugged
him and wiped them away with his fingers as he kissed the top of his head.

"I think he's just said goodbye to me Adi; I think he's lost the will to
fight this time."

Somehow Adi stayed strong and didn't immediately burst into tears although
he wanted to. He knew he had to be the strong one to help Adam through
this. He just hugged Adam and they watched Luke lie there.

The hours passed by and Adam began to think about life without the love of
his life. He had Adi and that was comforting to know but he would miss Luke
so terribly. He then made a mental note of all the people he should contact
but couldn't get his mind into gear to make any calls just yet.

Luke held on the remainder of that day and Adi and Adam again took it in
turns to rest in the armchair but neither really slept. It was around four
in the morning when Adam was sitting at Luke's bedside and holding his hand
that Adam suddenly heard the monitor make that heart breaking sound. He
looked up and saw the line was straight. Not a beat in sight. He was just
about to ring for the nurse when she came rushing in having picked up the
change from the monitor at her desk.

Adi came to and realised what was happening. The duty doctor came rushing
in and checked Luke over but looked at Adam as if to say 'there's nothing
we can do'.

"I'm sorry guys" he said, "I'm afraid he's gone".

The doctor and the nurse then left Adam and Adi alone for a few minutes and
the pair of them cried out loud. They hugged each other and then kissed
Luke's passive body on the lips to say their goodbye.

"Thank you for everything Luke" Adi said weeping, "Thank you, I love you".

Adam kissed Luke again and whispered "You were the best thing to happen in
my life; thank you too and I will look after Adi as promised".

The pair then left the room and the nurse said how sorry she was. She then
suggested they went home and came back later to deal with the necessary
forms and procedures.

Adam and Adi walked out of the hospital, got into a taxi and went home
alone. They both felt so empty. The commissionaire on duty looked at them
and asked if everything was okay. Adam told him that Luke had died in the
early hours. There was nothing else to say.

They went up to the flat and collapsed on the bed. They were both
exhausted.

"We should sleep" Adi said, taking control of things and helped Adam
undress.

When they were both naked, Adam said he must first ring Sam. It was only
six in the morning but she did say to call whatever time it was.

"He's gone" Adam wept.

Sam said she'd come over later in the day but first they must get some
rest.

"I'll let everyone know; is there anyone you want me to call for you?"

Adam said not for the moment. He was too tired to think of anything at the
moment.

They both climbed into bed and hugged each other tight, "Oh god Adi, I'm so
glad I've got you".

Adi hugged him tighter and let his tears flow, "I'll always be here for you
Adam, you know that; I love you so much."

Adam kissed Adi and nodded, "Yeah, I know you do and I love you but we're
going to miss him terribly you know".

Adi nodded and pulled his arms tight round Adam as if he couldn't possibly
let him go. Gradually they dropped off to sleep.


In her usual efficiency, Sam organised everything for the pair of them. All
Adam had to do was collect the necessary paperwork from the hospital and
bring home Luke's personal items. They then made an appointment with the
local Registrar to register the death and speak to the undertaker to choose
the coffin. Adam went through all the motions as if he was a robot. He
relied on Adi to keep him on track. Adam did manage to ring his mother and
tell her the news and she said she'd come immediately but Adam persuaded
her to wait until the date of the funeral was known and then she and Frank
could come.

"I've got Adi and he's looking after me mum"

She had met Adi twice in the last three years and she'd taken to him
immediately so she was happy that Adam had someone beside him.


When everything had been organised and the funeral date had been fixed,
Adam relaxed a little.

"Life is a funny thing isn't it Adi? You just never know what's round the
corner do you?"

Adi shuffled up to him on the sofa and hugged his naked body.

"No you don't. Sometimes it good things and sometimes it's bad; you never
know until it happens; but one thing I am certain of is that Luke loved you
with all his heart and without you he couldn't have managed to get through
all he had to contend with so don't forget that Adam."

Adam kissed Adi and squeezed him close to his chest, "You're such a sweet
guy Adi; you really are. Life has to go on and we have to move forward as I
was always telling Luke but I'm sure we can do that together".

Adi's heart had a warm glow run through it. He was never quite sure what
would happen now that Luke had gone; he knew Adam loved him but was it
enough to fill the place that Luke had always had in Adam's heart? He now
felt it was and he was the happiest man in the world!

As Adam held him, Adi casually played with Adam's cock. They hadn't had sex
since Luke had passed away. It hadn't seemed right to do so but he was
aching to make love to Adam. Gradually Adam's cock responded and he was
showing the signs of an erection. His own as always quickly responded as
well.

"Adi Cole! Are you trying to say something to me?" Adam grinned. It was the
first grin or smile Adi had seen for days. He grinned back and said simply
"Yes".

Adam took the hint and stood up. He took Adi by the hand and led him to the
bedroom. They got into bed and made passionate love. Their hands explored
each other's naked bodies as if it was for the first time. They kissed and
explored each other's mouths with hot tongues and fingered each other's
arses. Their cocks were rock hard and oozing pre-cum but they were not
ready to commit the final act just yet.

After a lot more kissing and petting, Adam climbed astride Adi and lifted
his legs high above his head. He grabbed the lube and put some into Adi's
puckered hole. He then fingered it and hit the magic spot as he massaged
Adi's big long tool. Adi was crying out with pleasure and aching for Adam
to get his cock inside him. At last Adam could hold back no longer and
pushed his cock up to the open hole. He slowly pushed it inside and watched
Adi's expression as he did so. His eyes showed deep love and emotion and
Adam knew that despite the loss of Luke he still had a very special guy to
love.

"I love you so much Adi" Adam said quietly as he slowly thrust his cock
back and forth. Adi just grinned and felt his own love ooze from his heart
into Adam's.

Gradually Adam brought himself to a climax and when it came it was an
eruption. There were days of pent up emotion and cum ready to spill out and
he did just that. Adi could feel the hot seed shoot inside of him and he
savoured every drop as he watched Adam's face glow with love and devotion.

"Oh god I love you so much Adam" Adi finally said as he brought his own
cock to its climax. White hot creamy cum shot over his stomach and onto his
chest and still Adam was shooting yet more cum inside of him.

Finally they both collapsed exhausted and kissed and kissed.

"I will love you forever" Adam told Adi between kisses.

"Thank you and I will love you forever too".

When they'd finished kissing and just lay side by side savouring what had
just happened, Adam suddenly said "I know it's probably not the right time
to say this Adi with Luke not yet buried, but would you marry me once
things have calmed down?"

Adi jumped up and looked into Adam's eyes. Tears were falling down his face
as he kissed Adam again.

"I never thought you'd want to marry again; but yes I will whenever you
feel it's the right time to do so".

They kissed to seal the agreement and Adam said they should probably wait
for about six months before dropping that bomb on everyone.

"I don't think Luke would mind would he?" Adi said suddenly.

"No, I don't think he would; in fact I think he'd expect us to do so".


 The funeral was taking place two days later. It was to be a simple service
at the crematorium as Luke had wanted. The hearse and the car arrived to
take Adi, Adam, his mum and Frank to the crematorium so they all set off
downstairs.

When they arrived, Adam was shocked to see how many people had turned
up. There must have been over one hundred. He recognised staff from the
firm and various friends as Sam greeted them when the car stopped. She gave
Adam and Adi a hug and shook the hands of Adam's mum and Frank. Charles was
also there and did the same. Adam was always slightly amused at the way
Charles shook his hand and then gave him a big hug. He did the same to Adi
who was now seen as part of the family.

Sam led them into the chapel where the coffin was ready to be carried
forward. They all followed it to the front and the other mourners came on
behind.

In accordance with Luke's wishes the service was very simple. No religious
readings, just a couple of hymns. The guy leading the service said a few
words about Luke and then called Adam to the front. He had agreed to say a
few words but as he walked the short distance from the front pew to the
lectern his legs almost failed him. Somehow he reached the point where he
had to go and used the lectern to steady himself.

"Most of you will know how Luke and I met following that tragic accident
almost five years ago. He was the most wonderful person I had ever known
and he changed my life. I have tried to think of words to describe how I
feel about him and in doing so I came across a poem by W H Auden. Many of
you will know it I'm sure but I feel it describes exactly my thoughts about
Luke. I will never forget him and the love he brought into my life."

Adam then read the following words:

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking
with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the
coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He
is Dead.  Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the
traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday
rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would
last forever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one, Pack up the moon and
dismantle the sun, Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods; For nothing
now can ever come to any good.

When Adam had finished he looked at the assembled crowd. There was absolute
silence and he noted several people were dabbing their eyes including Sam
and Adi. He walked back to his seat and as he did so, Adi put his arms
round him and gently kissed him on the side of the head. Music started and
everyone sat in silence as they watched the coffin disappear from view.

'Goodbye my love' Adam said quietly to himself.


Once the service had ended, Sam once again took charge and led Adam and Adi
back to the waiting car. As they climbed in she said "I'll see you at the
hotel".

The car moved away and Adam suddenly realised it was just him and Adi in
the car but in her usual efficiency Sam had arranged for his mum and Frank
to follow on in another with her and Charles. As they stepped out of the
car at the hotel where a reception had been arranged, Sam met them and led
them to where they had to go. How she got there before them, Adam had no
idea. His mind was far, far away so he just let others do the leading for
once.

Over the next two hours almost everyone came up to give Adam and Adi their
condolences. All their friends were there. Ryan and Juan, Tony and Dan,
Jay, Matt, Jason, Liam, Rob, Jake, Michael and Sven from Brighton, Carlos
and Andres from France, Oliver, Jamie, Rafael and Kamol, Spencer from Key
West, and even Dr Anderson and Ron were there plus many others. The only
person Adam couldn't see was James from Miami and he wondered why. They all
had something lovely to say about Luke and how he'd helped them in some way
or another. Adam felt more and more privileged to have known Luke and to
have had his love.

Finally people started leaving and Sam led Adam and Adi out to a waiting
car where Adam's mum and Frank were waiting.

"I'll be in touch tomorrow Adam" Sam said as she closed the car door and
smiled.

Once inside, Adam broke down and cried and cried. Adi put his arms round
him to try and console him but there was too much to get out so the others
just let him cry. When they got home, Frank and Adi got out leaving Adam
and his mum in the car.

"We're going to get the train home now Adam and leave you and Adi on your
own if that's okay. Frank and Adi have gone up to get our bags."

Adam just nodded not really taking it all in.

"You and Adi really love each other don't you? I can see it in your eyes."

Adam nodded without saying anything.

"You are a lucky man Adam to have had two wonderful people love you so much
at your age. Some of us don't manage to find that kind of love for the
whole of our lives."

"I know" Adam croaked between the tears.

"I know you gave up a lot to look after Luke and I know he loved you with
all his heart. You've also done a lot for Adi but it's time to let him look
after you now. You deserve that and I'm very proud of you."

Adam looked at her and managed to say "Thanks" as he hugged and kissed her.

Soon Frank and Adi were back down with the bags and Adam and his mum got
out of the car. His mum pulled Adi into her arms and kissed him, "Look
after him for me won't you". Adi nodded and looked at Adam with a loving
look.

Frank then hugged both of them and gave each a kiss on their
cheeks. Finally Adam's mum did the same before getting into the car. Adi
put his arms round Adam and they waved them off.


When they'd finally got into the apartment, they both slumped down onto a
sofa and hugged and kissed. There was nothing else to say. They now had the
job of getting on with their lives without Luke.

Later, Adi asked whether Adam would remain in the apartment.

"I like it here; what do you think?"

Adi said he did too "I find it comforting and can still sense Luke around
us. I don't want to lose that do you?"

Adam agreed and said they'd continue living there.

"Does everything come to you now?" Adi asked.

Adam then explained that he knew Luke had made at least two bequests in his
will to charities and that there were special provisions regarding the
firm, "But the London and Brighton apartments will be mine as his civil
partner along with everything else but the house in France was put in the
names of Luke, myself, Carlos and Andres so I presume Luke's share will
come to me."

"Oh" Adi replied nodding.

"But one thing I do know for sure is that Luke made provision for you Adi"

"Me?"

"Yes, I know he's left you a sizeable sum of money"

"For me? Why?"

"Because he loved you and wanted you to have some independence my love"

Adi looked at Adam dismayed. He couldn't believe someone could do such a
thing for him.

"But of course once we've done the Civil Partnership we'll share
everything"

Adi grinned and put his head on Adam's chest. As he did so he also put his
hand into Adam's crotch without really thinking. It was such a natural
thing to do.

Adam chuckled, "You're getting me hard you know".

Adi looked up and grinned, "Shall we go to bed?"

"Yeah, let's go to bed" Adam replied grinning.


17.

Two days later, Adi and Adam were sitting in the solicitor's office for the
reading of Luke's will.

"Well, it's all fairly straight forward" the solicitor was saying, "Luke
made sure everything was in good order".

"Yeah, that's my Luke" Adam chuckled.

"He's made two bequests - one to a charity for disabled people in Brighton
and another to the hospital where I believe you worked Adam. He's also
bequeathed a small sum to Sam Baines for her help and support over the
years. As his Civil Partner, Adam, the London and Brighton properties
automatically become yours of course because as you know he made both of
them jointly owned after your Civil Partnership. Also, Luke's share of the
property in France comes to you. We will need to prepare the necessary
paperwork to put that into effect to comply with French law. Luke's fifty
one percent share of the business is split with ten percent to you and the
remaining forty one percent to Charles making him the major shareholder. It
was Luke's wish that Charles become the Chairman as well. You will of
course receive a lump sum from the pension scheme and a survivor's pension
for life. His other assets will come to you after the appropriate fees and
taxes have been paid. That leaves one remaining item and that concerns you
Adi. Luke has bequeathed you a sizeable sum so that you have your own
financial independence."

The solicitor then showed Adi the sum and Adi gasped. He couldn't believe
the amount he was to get. He was about to say he couldn't possible accept
such a sum but Adam interjected and he said nothing. It was more money than
he ever dreamt of having in his whole life and he'd only known Luke for
three years. He looked at Adam who was smiling at him. Adi just held his
hand and sat there not knowing what to say.

"It will take a couple of months to tie things up but I don't expect any
problems as Luke had everything very well organised" the solicitor was
saying.

"Oh, there is one other thing" he added, "Luke sent me this a few months
ago with an express instruction that I pass it to you Adam in the event of
him predeceasing you."

The solicitor then handed Adam a sealed envelope.

"I suggest you take it home and read it in private since it does not have
any bearing on the estate from what Luke has told me."

With everything done, Adam and Adi left and made their way home. Adam went
straight into the living room and opened the sealed envelope. He couldn't
imagine what Luke would have written to him. He then read the following
letter:

   'My darling Adam, by the time you are reading this I will no longer be
with you and in the other place if you believe in all that. Anyhow, I
wanted to say that I loved you more than you can ever imagine. You changed
my life and as I've said on many occasions I couldn't have coped without
you. Since Adi has joined us I know you and he have become very close which
I was more than happy to see. I too loved Adi but I think it is safe to say
that you are his favourite and he adores you. Assuming he is still with you
when you read this I want you to make him as happy as you did me by
marrying him, well you know - do the CP thing like we did. I know you love
him as much as he loves you and as much as you loved me. I have never known
anybody who could love two people with such passion and I loved you for
that. I know you will think it only proper to wait for some time before you
enter into a Civil Partnership with Adi but assuming you both want to do it
then please don't wait. Do it sooner rather than later. As you well know,
we never know what tomorrow will bring and I would hate to think you and he
don't tie the knot out of respect for me. If people raise their eyebrows
just tell them it was me who told you to do it my love!

If there is such a thing as another place, I will be watching over you
always.

Love to you both

Luke xxx

PS - Give Adi an extra fuck for me please!'

Adam read the note twice over and when he had he cried and cried. Adi came
to sit beside him and asked what was wrong. Without saying anything, Adam
passed Adi the letter for him to read. When he'd read it, he bawled his
eyes out. The pair of them just sat and cried until their eyes were
stinging with tears. They just didn't know what to say. Instead they hugged
each other tight and kissed.

When they eventually calmed down they looked at each other.

"Two things; first we fix a date for our Civil Partnership and I suggest we
make it the anniversary of mine and Luke's in December; secondly I give you
that extra fuck that Luke has asked me to do!"

Adi grinned and said "Yes" to both things!


They both found that sex between them was different now. It was very
intense and much more passionate. Adam had always enjoyed sex with Luke but
he now found he had the same level of enjoyment with Adi. They held each
other tight kissing and feeling for a long time before finally getting down
to sex. Adi grinned at Adam and lifted his legs as if to say 'Take me
now'. Adam grinned back and without saying anything he lubed his cock and
slowly pushed it into Adi's gorgeous hole.

"Oh my god" Adam exclaimed as he felt the warmth of Adi's body round his
tool, "That feels so good Adi". He then slowly but surely fucked back and
forth making sure that Adi could feel each stroke of his long hard
cock. Their eyes were fixed on each other and a slight smile showed in
between exclamations of ah and oh as Adam thrust back and forth. Finally he
reached his peak and Adi could feel Adam's hot seed shoot inside him.

"Mm that feels so nice" he giggled, "Thank you Luke for your last request!"


They soon got into a routine without Luke although they both missed him
terribly. Adam missed Luke's highs and lows and generally looking after
him, and Adi missed pushing him in the wheelchair whenever they went
out. Now they no longer had a wheelchair to manipulate, they used public
transport most days and Adi gradually found his way round London.

He gave up being an escort and the on-line work but he continued doing the
odd film for Raphael and modelling work when required. Various clothes
catalogues were now asking for him specifically so he was often posing in
swimwear and scanty items of underwear. Adi was also working on another
play. In this one he had a larger part so had more lines to learn but he
seemed to have a natural ability to learn them and to get into
character. The studio gave him acting lessons as well so he was very
pleased with the way he life was developing. The current play required him
to strip off a couple of times but he was always happy to oblige!

Adi no longer went to Ron every month but the three of them became good
friends and often went out for a meal together or to the theatre or the
opera which Adi found he rather enjoyed. Sometimes they would either go
back to Ron's apartment for a good threesome or to Adam and Adi's.


Adam's birthday came and went. There was no surprise party this year but
they did go out for a meal at a posh restaurant. They managed to book their
Civil Partnership for the same date in December as Luke and Adam's had been
but it was a very small affair. The ceremony was at the local Registry
Office and they invited Juan and Ryan, Tony and Dan, and Sam. They told
everyone that it had been Luke's wish for the two of them to do it and
everyone understood.

Luke's estate was eventually tied up and Adam and Adi found themselves
multi millionaires. Luke had made arrangements in his will that the flat he
had purchased for Ryan and Juan would automatically go to them on his death
so they were now on their own and looked after their own business. Adam
stopped going to the firm since there was no need and it brought back too
many sad memories. He and Sam kept in contact and they met up with Tony and
Dan every so often.

They spent Christmas in Cap Ferrat with Carlos and Andres and enjoyed the
relaxation with them and the other guests spending Christmas at the
B&B. They put on a Christmas dinner for everyone and had a good time with
lots of fun and games including sex!


In March, Adam and Adi went down to Cornwall to see Adam's mum and
Frank. It too brought back many sad memories but he had promised to go down
again since his mum hadn't been too well.

In April, they were asked by Jake if they'd attend another fundraising
night for his charity. Luke had left a sizeable sum to the charity and Adam
intended on giving them large donations every so often. Jake wanted to set
up a trust in Luke's name that could be used to help other disabled gays
like they had for Michael & Sven. Adi had been given a range of sexy
underwear from the Soho shop he modelled for and suggested that he and Adam
model the items during the auction. They also suggested that the successful
bidder could remove the item from the model on stage. Jake loved the idea
so everything was set up.

Adam and Adi stayed at the Brighton apartment for that week. It again
seemed strange without Luke but they decided as they had with the London
apartment they liked it too much to sell and find another. It was somehow
comforting to know that Luke was still in their thoughts when they were
there.

The auction went off extremely well and the bids kept going higher and
higher as guys wanted the pleasure of stripping Adam and Adi of the garment
in question. There were six in all so the assembled crowd had the pleasure
of stripping each of them three times!

Jake announced the sad death of Luke and how he had left the charity a
large sum of money for the new trust which would be named after him. Adam
and Adi had tears running down their face as Jake announced it and they
noticed Michael & Sven did also. Several guys came up to them afterwards
and gave their condolences and said how much they enjoyed Luke's singing.


Adam and Adi now had the money to do whatever they wanted when they wanted
so they travelled to places neither of them ever dreamt they would be able
to visit. They never went back to Miami or Key West. Neither of them felt
they could do that. It would be too painful. But they did visit New York,
Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco as well as Canada, and Australia.


The years seemed to slip by and Adi's acting career got bigger and
bigger. Adam became his manager more for something to do but also because
Adi wanted him rather than someone he didn't know if he could trust. Adam
quickly learnt all about being a performer's manager but somehow it worked.

One day when they were both sitting on the terrace of the London apartment
having just had a very nice meal, Adi looked at Adam and smiled.

"Do you know it is thirty years to the day since you and Luke found me on
that bench in Leeds crying my eyes out? Who would have thought that our
lives would change so much and that I would find love at last."

Adam knelt beside Adi and hugged him tight.
