The Naked Surfer
Chapter 17
by John Josept


	It was a typical hot August morning, as Gerald stood naked in front
of the full-length mirror in Daniel and Chase's spare bedroom. His head
hurt a bit from all the champagne he drank at the gallery celebration the
night before, but overall, it wasn't too bad.

	It was only 7AM and the house was quiet. Gerald figured his hosts
were sound asleep. He stared at his image in the mirror and took a deep
breath.

	"It's time to get rid of these things," he said out loud, referring
to the body jewelry in his various piercings. He walked closer to the
mirror. His hands began to shake and his stomach turned, like he was about
to do something forbidden. He took another deep breath, swallowed hard, and
started to remove them one by one.

	The four earrings in each ear were the first to go. He took all of
them out except one from his left earlobe. He turned his head to the right
just enough so he could see his left ear with the one lone gold stud
earring.

	"Yeah, I like that," he said with a smile. He then turned his head
to the left, looked at his right ear with no jewelry. He liked how it
looked and hoped the holes would close up so he couldn't see them
anymore. Satisfied with that, he took out the ring from his eyebrow, looked
at his empty brow closely, and smiled.

	He inhaled deeply, because next was the one in his tongue. That one
he hated the most. It was cumbersome and took a long time to get used
to. He opened his mouth and slowly unfastened the stud that held it in
place. When he pulled up, it came out with a squishing sound. Gerald moved
his tongue around and in and out of this mouth. He couldn't believe that
thing was out.

	"Damn that feels good," he said. He stuck his tongue out and looked
at it closely in the mirror. "Hope that hole heals." He smiled.

	Then one at a time he slowly removed the spikes from each of his
nipples. "Those will never go back in again," He said rubbing each
nipple. He remembered when Andreas did these piercings himself. He
remembered the pain he went through and how it turned Andreas on. Now that
he was out from under his clutches, his fear of that man was gone. That
fear was perpetuated by Andreas' constant threats to turn him into the
police for his terrible crime. Now, that fear had turned to hate.

	He brought himself back to the matter at hand and moved down to his
navel and removed that ring as well.

	Then the last two, the Prince Albert, and his scrotum ring, the
ones that were the most uncomfortable; he couldn't wait.

He unscrewed the little ball and slowly removed the ring from the head of
his half hard penis. His dick got harder as if it was thanking him for
removing that thing from his dickhead.

The ring from his scrotum would take a little more patience to
remove. Slowly he unfastened it and ever so gently took it out. It hurt a
bit, but it felt oh so good now that it was out.

	"All right," Gerald sighed, "this I like," he said as he looked at
himself in the mirror. He lift up his hardening dick to look at his
ballsack, free from the jewelry his former "Master" forced on him.

	"It looks good," Gerald said then stood back and looked at his
entire body again. He was beginning to feel free, free from Andreas.

	He began to rub his stomach with one hand and his other hand
tweaked one of his nipples. He found they were more sensitive without the
spears. His dick was now full hard and he liked what he saw. He began to
beat off, not paying attention to the open bedroom door. He stood there in
full view of anyone who would come to the living room.

	He was lost in his own image; this new image without the sparkle of
the rings and things that used to adorn his body. He liked this look and
his dick responded to it. He rubbed his chest and his stomach then ran his
hand down to his rigid member. It felt odd jacking off without the PA, but
it was more sensual for him. He licked his lips that spit on his dick and
started to jack it faster.

	Chase came around the house to drop off his surfboard in the shed
in the backyard. He had been surfing with his buds as promised. He felt
good to be back riding the waves again. Next to Daniel and photography,
surfing was his biggest passion.

	He walked into the house through the back door and went into the
bathroom, took off his wetsuit and got into the shower to rinse off the
salt-water residue from his body. He wanted to get upstairs to wrap himself
in Daniel's warm arms.

	Gerald was so lost in his self-gratification he didn't hear Chase
come in the house or hear him in the shower, for that matter, and continued
to jack his dick with one hand and tweak his nipples with the other.

	Chase came out of the bathroom with nothing on, wiping his wet
blond hair with a towel. His dick was half hard thinking about his lover up
in the warm bed, not considering his houseguest would be awake. He walked
through the living room toward the stairs, when out of the corner of his
eye he saw Gerald standing with his back to the open bedroom door. The
mirror Gerald faced was on an angle where Chase could see what he was
doing, but Gerald could not see him.

	"Damn," Chase said to himself, looking at Gerald's naked
body. Chase's half hard dick was now full hard and his eyes were glued on
Gerald's firm round butt.

	Gerald's hand left his nipples and moved down to his balls where he
gripped them and began to pull down hard. This made him moan out load
completely oblivious to the fact he was under the watchful eye of one of
his hosts.

	Gerald began to breathe heavy and moan louder. He took his hand off
his cock to control his orgasm, put them behind his head, then began to
pose in front of the mirror.

	Chase couldn't take much more and ran upstairs to his partner who
was barely awake. He threw off his covers to reveal Daniel's muscular body
and morning erection. He lay on the bed between Daniel's legs and devoured
his cock.

	Meanwhile, down in the guest bedroom, Gerald began to pump his dick
again. He grabbed his balls, and beat his dick faster and faster. Visions
of that cute young guy, Nick, who fucked him at the gallery, came to his
head. He regretted more and more not getting his phone number. He would
have loved to be fucked by him again. Gerald put his index finger in his
mouth covering it with his salvia then reached around and inserted his
finger in his rosebud, imagining it was Nick's hard cock. He beat his dick
faster as he massaged his own prostate.

	Upstairs, Chase heard Gerald's moans which fueled his passion more
than it already had. He sucked on Daniel's dick in a frantic up and down
motion.

	"Oh Shit," Gerald said as his balls started to tighten, then his
spunk shot streams of cum coating the bottom part of the mirror. His moans
were louder than he realized.

	"Fuck," Daniel gasped as he let loose a morning load of cum down
his lover's throat. "Oh god, Chase, fuck," Daniel said over and over as his
dick let loose more cum.

	Chase still could hear Gerald's distant moans from his continuing
orgasm. He couldn't take it anymore. Between sucking his lover's dick,
swallow his spunk, and seeing his naked houseguest masturbate, he knew he
had to cum and cum now. So he knelt in between Daniel's legs and jacked his
cock. It didn't take long for him to reach the point of no return. His
spunk shot out of his pee slit all over Daniels' chest, stomach, dick, and
balls.

	"Oh mother fucker," Chase yelled as his jizz shot over and over
onto Daniel whose eyes were now wide open wondering what came over his
lover. "Whatever it is, I like it," Daniel said to himself.

	The last of Chase's cum dripped onto Daniel's body as he collapsed
on top of him. As Chase started to breathe normal, he began to feel
guilty. Daniel wrapped his arms around his lover.

	"Not that this is a complaint, babe, but, damn what brought that on
so early this morning," Daniel said still breathing heavy.

	Chase didn't reply he just lay there looking guilty. Then Daniel
heard his houseguest moan downstairs. He began to put two and two together.

	"Was that Gerald?" Daniel asked. Chase just grunted.

	"Oh, now I see," Daniel started to laugh, "you saw Gerald beating
off and you got turned on." Daniel continued to laugh and flipped Chase
around where he could straddle him across his hips. He held Chase's hands
against the mattress. He continued to laugh as his still dripping dick
leaked cum on Chase's stomach.

	"I'm sorry, Daniel." Chase guiltily.

	"Sorry for what? For getting excited seeing a hot, naked, young guy
beating off in our guest room? Hey, I started to get hard last night when I
saw him naked and his dick was soft. He's a cute kid. No reason to be
sorry. In fact I want to thank him. That was one fantastic blow job you
just gave me."

	Chase smiled a bit and looked into his lover's eyes. "I love you,
Daniel."

	"I know, and I love you too. So let's get up and shower this cum
off our bodies and go greet our guest." Daniel leaned down and kissed Chase
gently on the lips.

	Their shower took longer than anticipated because they decided they
had to cum again. They held on to each other and jacked one another's dicks
until their cum ran down the drain.

	They hugged and kissed some more, cleaned the spunk from their
bodies, then got out of the shower and toweled themselves off.

	"I smell coffee," Chase said as he sat on the bed, "I sure could
use a cup. I guess Gerald must be done beating off and made a pot."

	"Hope he washed his hand, first," Daniel joked.

	"Maybe he cummed in the coffee pot," Chase laughed, "That would
make a great new flavor for Starbucks." They both started to chuckle. "I'll
have a Grande Cum Latte, Please," Chase said mockingly as if he was
ordering this new taste sensation at the well-known coffeehouse. Daniel
grabbed Chase and rolled him around the bed as he started to howl at
Chase's antics. It took a bit to calm them both down.

	"Well, let's go see what he's up to down there," Daniel said now
that he had himself under control. "We better not go down there naked like
this, we don't want to excite him too much on his first day." Daniel and
Chase laughed again as they got up and jumped into a pair of shorts, then
went down the stairs, barefoot and bare-chested.

	When they got down to the living room, Gerald was sitting on the
couch, sipping on a cup of coffee.

	"Hi Gerald," they both said.

	Gerald jumped up and nearly spilled this coffee when he saw Chase
and Daniel come into the room with just their low riding shorts on.

	"Uh, good morning guys," Gerald said nervously while staring at
Chase's and Daniel's hot bodies, "hope you don't mind I took a shower and
made a pot of coffee."

	"Mind? I could kiss you. Oh what the hell, why not," Chase said
jokingly as he headed for the kitchen to get his coffee, but first, went
over to Gerald who stood there with just a wet towel wrapped around
him. Chase took his hand and held the back of Gerald's head and gave him a
hard, wet kiss on the lips, then proceeded to the kitchen. A wide-eyed
Gerald just stood there stunned. He looked over at Daniel who had a big
grin on his face.

	"You'll have to forgive my partner, Gerald; he'll do anything for
his morning coffee. You have a friend forever now for making it for him,"
Daniel teased.

	"Sorry, I couldn't find my clothes," Gerald said a bit embarrassed
that he only had a towel on and that it started to tent because of the kiss
Chase gave him. Seeing Daniel's hot body standing in front of him half
naked didn't help either. Gerald immediately sat down so he wouldn't
humiliate himself any further. He couldn't understand why he was getting so
flustered.

	"Your clothes were pretty dirty, so I washed them," Daniel said. He
saw Gerald's predictement and unsuccessfully tried to ignore it, "Hope you
don't mind too much. I still have to put them in the dryer. Come on let's
check them."

	Gerald just sat there, not wanting to move. His was fully erect and
he didn't want Daniel or Chase to know.

	"Well, come on," Daniel said to his houseguest, "and don't worry
about that hard-on of yours. Hell, we get them all the time. We're usually
naked around the house so things are kinda loose."

	Gerald's face turned beet red as he reluctantly got up from the
sofa. He put his hands in front of him in an ill attempt to push down his
erection, and followed Daniel toward the laundry room, passing Chase in the
kitchen.

	"I like how you look without those things on your body," Chase said
looking at Gerald's tented towel. He didn't say anything about it or ask
about the PA, either, seeing Gerald embarrasses so easy.

	"Yeah you look great," Daniel added. Although, deep down he really
liked how Gerald looked with the Prince Albert.

	"Thanks, I like it, too. It's more comfortable like this," Gerald
said trying desperately to relax.

	"I'll get breakfast going," Chase said.

	"Ok babe," Daniel said as he and Gerald walked into the laundry
room.

	Daniel opened the washing machine and pulled out Gerald's
clothes. His jeans seemed ok, but his shirt and underwear were so worn out,
the washing machine put holes in them.

	"Hmm, I tell you what, after we have breakfast, we'll head off to
Kmart and get you some things to wear. Ok?" Daniel said holding up Gerald's
tattered shirt. He put the jeans in the dryer and turned it on. The hum of
the dryer and the clunking sound of the wet jeans filled the small room.

	"Hmmm, breakfast smells good, Chase is a killer cook," Daniel said
to Gerald who was just staring at him.

	Daniel turned to leave the laundry room when Gerald grabbed Daniel
by his muscular arm to stop him. Daniel turn to look at Gerald, who had
dropped his towel, exposing his hard cock.

	Daniel's eyes opened wide and focused on Gerald's hard, cut dick
that curved slightly upward. "Hmm I see what turned Chase on so much. Wish
I could have seen it hard with that PA in it," Daniel said to himself as
his own erection tented his shorts. Gerald took two-step toward Daniel,
kissed him on the lips, and at the same time grabbed Daniel's cock through
his shorts. This took Daniel by surprise.

	"Stop, Gerald," Daniel said firmly, gaining control of his senses,
"you don't have to do this."

	"Yes, this is the only way I have to thank you guys. I will give
you a blow job and you could fuck me if you want, Chase, too." He then
tried to kiss Daniel again, but this time Daniel over powered him and
pushed him back. He grabbed Gerald by the shoulders and stared into his
eyes.

	"Look, Gerald, we're helping you because we want to, not because we
need a fuck or a blow job. Chase and I like you as a friend. We don't
expect anything from you. We want you to feel safe here, and you're welcome
here as long as you want."

	"I'm sorry, I just thought that you were going around like you
are...I mean half naked and talking about hard-ons, that you expected me
to...you know."

	"Gerald, this is something you will have to get used to if you
decide to stay around here. Chase and I go around naked most of the
time. If you see us like that, it's because this is the way we feel most
comfortable. If you want to be naked that's fine, if not that's fine
too. But if we want to have sex with you, we will let you know and it will
be by mutual consent and not out of misguided obligation. I hope you
understand Gerald, we like you for who you are." Gerald took a deep
breath. He felt like he had new friends now. First there was Cole and now
Daniel and Chase.

	Gerald smiled. "Yeah I guess I am not used to that, but I am
beginning to understand now." Gerald scratched his head in bewilderment.

	"Great, now pick up your towel and lets go and have some
breakfast," Daniel said. Gerald picked up his towel wrapped it around his
waist; his dick had since gone soft, then they headed into the kitchen for
some of Chase's breakfast scramble.

	Gerald hadn't eaten in nearly two days. He didn't realize how
hungry he was until he tasted Chase's breakfast. Gerald began to gulp down
his food, but soon became self-conscious when he realized how fast he was
eating. He put his fork down and pushed his dish away from him. Daniel
pushed the dish back in front of him.

	"Eat, Gerald, we have plenty."

	"Yeah," Chase added, glad he made an extra big batch of
food. Gerald dug in and ate more. Daniel and Chase looked at each other
with concern in their eyes, but didn't say anything in front of
Gerald. They didn't want to make things worse for the guy.

	After they stuffed themselves on scrambled eggs, with breakfast
sausage, bacon, peppers, and onions, they sat around drinking
coffee. Gerald wanted to bring up the Andreas problem, but decided to wait
until later. He felt comfortable and was enjoying the special attention he
was getting from his hosts. He didn't want to spoil the mood by bringing up
a subject that was upsetting to everyone. "Yeah, I feel comfortable here,"
Gerald said to himself, "maybe too comfortable."

	"Can I make a phone call? I have a friend who may be worried about
me and I want him to know I am ok," Gerald said, trying to take the focus
off of himself.

	"Yeah sure, the phone is in the living room."

	"Thanks," Gerald said and got up from the table and went to the
bedroom to get his wallet that had the phone number. He went into the
living room, found the phone and dialed the number.

	"Hello," the voice on the other end said.

	"Cole? It's me, Gerald."

	"Gerald My God! Are you ok? Where are you? Damn I've been worried
sick about you."

	"I'm ok, I'm staying with friends."

 	"Look, Andreas has been here thinking I knew where you were. You
leaving has really made him snap. Stay clear of him and don't go back to
that apartment under any circumstances."

	"Don't worry about that, I won't ever go back to that place again."

	"Good, kid. I don't want anything to happen you. Remember, if you
need anything like clothes or more money let me know. I don't want you on
the streets anymore, either. Ok?"

	"Daniel is taking me shopping for clothes later. I don't have
anything but my jeans," Gerald said, avoiding an answer to the question
about him going back to the streets. He wasn't sure what the future would
hold for him.

 	"Ok, just stay away from that madman. Now who are these friends
you're staying with," Cole asked suspiciously.

	"Chase Bell and his partner, Daniel Casadini. They're really cool."

	"Oh? The Chase Bell that has Andreas all pissed off?" Cole asked.

	"Yeah, that him."

	Cole wondered if this was a good or bad thing that Gerald was
living with people that Andreas hated so much. He figured that would make
it very difficult for Gerald if Andreas found him. He knew nothing of the
hate Andreas had for Daniel.

	"Can I come and meet these guys?" Cole said, "I just want to make
sure they are on the up and up and don't have any other motive. Did you
have sex with them? Tell me the truth, now," Cole said feeling very
paternal toward Gerald.

	"No, I offered, but they turned me down...twice," Gerald said with
a smile.

	"I guess they're stronger than I am," Cole said remembering the sex
he and Gerald had just a few days ago. Gerald smiled to himself because he
was thinking the same thing as Cole. He liked Cole and still had strong
feelings for him, but knew that could never be.

	"Well, get in touch with me in a couple days," Cole continued, "I
want to talk with them and come see you ok?"

	"Ok, Cole; and Cole?"

	"Yeah?"

	"Thanks for being my friend and giving me the courage and the money
to get out of that place. I promise to pay you back."

	"Hey, all you needed was a kick in that hot ass of yours, kid. You
did the hard part. And don't worry about the money, consider it a gift."

	"But thanks anyway. I don't think I could have done it without
you."

	"Well, you just be careful. Now call me and let me know how you are
doing OK? I will see you in a few days."

	"Great Cole, can't wait to see you again," Gerald said wanting to
tell him that he loved him, but was afraid he would take it the wrong way.

	"Well, take care of yourself. It's really good to hear from
you. I'm glad you are ok. Bye for now."

	"Bye Cole."

	They hung up the phone and Gerald felt happy that Cole really did
care about him.

	He went back into the dining room and sat down at the table.

	"Is everything ok," Daniel asked.

	"Yeah, that was my friend Cole. He's the one who convinced me to
get out of Andreas' apartment. He even gave me some money to get out. He
wants to talk with you guys. I think he thinks you guys are fucking me or
something," Gerald laughed, "he just wants to make sure I am ok."

	"Well, no problem we can talk with him," Chase said looking over at
Daniel, "Who is this Cole guy?"

	"Cole Bennett, he's a model and very hot, too."

	"Cole Bennett? The Cole Bennett who is Andreas' partner?" Chase
said jumping out of his chair with anger flashing in his eyes.

	This startled Gerald. "Andreas' ex-partner," he stammered, "they
broke up several weeks ago. Cole was glad to get out. He's really a great
guy, Chase. I would like you guys to meet him. This way he could see I am
ok. He said Andreas came to his place trying to find me. Andreas is nuts,
guys," Gerald said, figuring since the subject was brought up he'd tell
them what Andreas said.

	"Yeah, we know that," Chase said as he calmed down and sat back in
his chair again, "Did he tell you he tried to rape Daniel? Daniel kicked
his ass instead."

	"What? No, that fucker! He never mentioned anything like that,
guys, honest. That does explain why hates you so much, Daniel." Gerald
paused, "Andreas told me something that scared me."

	"What was that?" Daniel asked.

	"Well, he really wants to get even with you Daniel...by doing
something to Chase. He said he would get even with you, by taking Chase
away from you... even if he ... has to kill him. That scared me and I
wouldn't put anything past him. That's what I came here to tell you
yesterday."

	Daniel reached for Chase's hand and squeezed it.

	"Damn Chase, what should we do," Daniel said, as his insecurities
came flooding back at him.

	"Live our life, Daniel, we can't let some crazy freak stop that. We
have a lot going for us now and will be too busy to worry about
him. Thanks, Gerald for letting us know that. You really are a good
friend," Chase said grabbing Gerald's hand across the table. Daniel grabbed
Gerald's other hand, completing the circle that bonded them.

	"Yeah, thanks Gerald, and like I said you have a home here for as
long as you want," Daniel said.

	Gerald was overwhelmed by this show of affection. All three were
silent.

 	"You know, now that I am a big time famous photographer, this is my
first death threat. Must come with the territory," Chase joked trying to
lighten the mood. Gerald and Daniel smiled at him, then they both burst out
laughing.

	Just then the buzzer went off in the dryer, alerting them that
Gerald's jeans were ready.

	"I guess your jeans are dry, Gerald. I tell you what, how about you
go get them and I will get a shirt you can wear and we will head off to
Kmart and see what we can find for you."

	"Ok, but I have money, I could pay for it," Gerald said.

	"Yeah, that's good, if that's what you want," Daniel said,
remembering the big wad of cash in Gerald's wallet. "Go get your jeans."
Gerald got up and went into the laundry room to retrieve his pants.

	"Chase, I'm really worried about this. Can't we do something?"

	"Babe, it will be ok, you'll see. Besides everyone on The Strand
knows about Andreas now," Chase said, as he leaned into Daniel and kissed
him, "if he gets anywhere near here we will know. So try not to worry too
much."

	"What about Gerald? Did you see how he ate his food?"

	"Yeah, I have a feeling he hadn't eaten in days."

	"I agree. We can't send him out on the streets, Daniel. I wouldn't
be able to sleep knowing he's out there by himself getting fucked by every
sleaze bag that has the money. I think its up to us to take care of him for
as long as he wants to."

	"Yeah, he will have a home here that is if he doesn't skip out. He
keeps saying he's leaving town."

	"Well, he has the offer and its up to him to take it. Hey, speaking
of Gerald, you better get ready to take him shopping."

	"You coming with us?" Daniel asked Chase trying to put the threat
that Andreas made out of his head.

	"No I better not. Donnie and Nick are coming over later on. Donnie
wants me to talk to Nick about him thinking he's gay; like I am some kind
of expert at it." Chase laughed, "I was kinda hoping you would be around to
help me out."

	"Nick asked me something about that at the gallery," Daniel
replied, "but I really didn't get a chance to answer him very well. I
shouldn't be long, though. We're only going to get Gerald a couple shirts
and some underwear. The poor guy has nothing but what he was wearing. I
think he left Andreas' apartment with the clothes he was wearing when he
first got there."

	Just as Daniel said that, Gerald walked in the room wearing only
his very tight jeans that sat low on his hips accenting his smooth slender
cut upper body. Daniel and Chase stopped their conversation; their jaws
dropped as they just stared at the sexy young man with the angelic
face. Gerald became very self-conscious.

	"Did I do something wrong?" Gerald asked as his hosts continued to
stare at his body.

	"Uh, no, Gerald," Daniel said, "I will go get you a shirt." Daniel
got up and Chase noticed that Daniel's shorts had a definite bulge in the
crouch. Chase began to laugh and Daniel gave Chase a dirty look as left the
room.

	"Don't worry about it, Gerald. You are just too cute that's all,"
Chase laughed and Gerald blushed, but felt flattered that he had turned
Daniel on, again.

	A short while later, Daniel, who now was completely dressed, came
down the stairs with a T-shirt and a pair of socks for Gerald.

	"Here, I think these should fit," Daniel said, "I'll get your
shoes. I think I put them under the bed." Gerald followed him into the
bedroom.

	"Did you undress me last night? I don't seem to remember much."

	"Yeah, Chase and I did. Damn look at those shoes?" Daniel said
deliberately leading the conversation away from the night before. "You will
need shoes too. Put those on and let's go." Gerald put on the sox given to
him and the old pair of ripped and torn Nike's.

	"I took the ring out too," Gerald said meekly.

	"What ring?" Daniel asked knowing very well what Gerald was
referring to since he saw his hard dick just a short while ago in the
laundry room.

	"My PA, you had to have seen it, if you took off my clothes. You
saw my hard-on too."

	Now it was Daniel's turn to blush.

	"Did I make you blush," Gerald said, proud of his accomplishment.

	"Yeah, I saw it and so did Chase. You're very tempting Gerald,
believe me. You are a very good-looking young man, with or without
clothes. And I am glad you took out that PA. It looks better," Daniel said
blushing again remembering what Gerald looked like with his hard on.

	"Thanks," Gerald said feeling his groin come alive from the
compliment Daniel paid him.

	"You better put on your shirt and let's get to K-Mart," Daniel
said.

	"Yeah, good idea," Gerald said noticing that there was some kind of
movement in Daniel's pants, again.

	They walked out of the bedroom and Daniel grabbed his keys and gave
Chase a passionate kiss.

	 "You guys play nice now," Chase whispered trying not to
laugh. Daniel didn't say anything. He just smirked then turned and left
with Gerald while Chase started to laugh very hard.

	Daniel and Gerald got in the car and drove off toward the local
Kmart.

	"Gerald, can I ask you a personal question?" Daniel asked as they
drove down the street.

	"Sure, I guess,"

	"How old are you?"

	Gerald was about to give his standard "I'm 18 years old," reply,
but decided to be upfront with Daniel. He remembered how it had upset Cole
when he found out his real age. These are his friends now and he wanted to
be honest with them as much as he could, even if it meant them kicking him
out of their house cause he was too young.

	"I'm 16," Gerald said waiting for Daniel to get angry.

	"I kinda figured you were." Gerald gave Daniel a surprised glance.

	"Look, I know you said you wanted to leave town, but you are
welcome to stay at our place as long as you like. Chase and I hate to see
you on the streets, Gerald. Correct me if I am wrong, but I feel you been
selling your body out there. I also couldn't help but notice that wad of
cash in your wallet."

	Gerald held his head down, "Yeah," he said, "I needed the money."

	"There are other ways of making money beside being a hooker."
Gerald didn't reply he just kept his head down. He knew he had no other
talent but his dick and his ass.

	"Well, I would hope you would take me up on my offer to stay at the
house. You will be safe there."

	Gerald knew he couldn't stay. If he did, it would be just a matter
of time before Andreas or the police would find him.

	"Maybe a few days," Gerald said. He felt comfortable with his two
new friends. He looked up at Daniel and smiled as they proceeded down the
road.

	"Do you want to talk about your time with Andreas? Seems he
assaulted us both in some way. I am here if you do want to."

	Gerald looked down. "Yeah, I'd like that," he said, then began to
tell Daniel about his year in hell, his year with Andreas.

	Several hours later, Chase was out in the backyard, working on his
surfboard. The sun beat down on his shirtless body causing sweat beads to
form on his head and drip down his face, chest and stomach. He had lost
track of time until he heard the front doorbell ring.

	"Damn, it must be Donnie already."

	Chase ran into the house and grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat as
he opened the door.

	"Hey Donnie, Hey Nick, how you guys doing?"

	"Doing ok, Chase," Donnie said.

	"Yeah right," Nick added.

	Chase noticed there was tension between the two brothers and was
curious as to what brought this on. However, he didn't notice that Nick was
staring at his sweaty body and his crotch.

	"What's going on," Chase asked as they walked into the living room
and sat down. Chase put on his T-Shirt, much to Nick's disappointment.

	"Chase," Nick spoke up first, "your gay right?"

	"Yeah," Chase replied wondering where this was going since Nick
knew very well of his orientation.

	"And you don't care if I am gay, right?"

	"Well, it doesn't..."

	"Nick, you're not gay," Donnie interrupted, "you can't say that for
sure, it's just a feeling you have and it will pass."

	"No, it's not, Damnit!" Nick yelled as he leaned forward, rested
his elbows on his knees and buried his face in his hands. He wanted to
blurt out to Donnie that he knew for sure he was gay because he already had
sex with a cute guy he met at the gallery. He hesitated for fear of
Donnie's reaction.

	"Hey guys, calm down," Chase said trying to get things under
control.

	"He just doesn't want to believe me, Chase," Nick said sadly, "he
just wants me to be like him."

	"I just want you to be normal," Donnie said.

	"I am normal, Donnie, please try to understand," Nick said as he
sat back up.

	"Chase, you talk to him, tell him how its going to be difficult all
his life, if he doesn't stop this," Donnie said in frustration.

	Chase paused and wasn't sure what he should say. He did agreed to
talk with Nick, but he felt it was Donnie who needed to be enlightened.

	"Donnie, I don't know what to say to you. Before I came out I was
not a very happy person. I was torn up inside as to what I felt and to what
people wanted me to feel. I had no one to turn to; I had no big brother who
loved me." A lump formed in Chase's throat. He felt like something was
missing in his life by not having blood family like Nick and Donnie.

	"I couldn't talk to my old man cause I knew he would beat the shit
out of me. So I just turned my back on what I knew I was. I am gay, I never
wanted to say it or admit it. So I pretended to go on dates and I even was
successful at fucking a couple girls. But I never did feel it was
right. Besides I had to think of some hot guy in order to get my dick hard.

	"What I am trying to say here, Donnie, is your brother knows what
he is and wants desperately for you to accept him. But you keep turning him
away and trying to dismiss his feelings as just a phase. Donnie, we are
born this way. This is no phase I am going through. We can't just stop what
we are. If Nick says he's gay then maybe you need to listen to him.

	"God, I hate to think of what my life would be right now if Daniel
hadn't kissed me that day here in his house, right in this room. It opened
up a world I could never turn my back on again. And to think I nearly
turned my back on Daniel that day too. Donnie, listen to your bother. He
needs you now more than ever."

	Donnie was struck silent. Nick's eyes began to water. Chase had put
the right words to everything he was trying to get across to his
brother. They sat quietly for a bit.

	Chase was about to continue when they heard Daniel's car pull up in
the driveway, distracting them from their moment of contemplation. Two car
doors slammed and in a few seconds the front door flew open, and Daniel and
Gerald charged into the living room with their arms full of packages.

	"Wow, he had a ball shopping. I think we bought out the store. I
got you a few things too, babe," Daniel said forgetting they were to have
company.

	"Yeah, I got some cool stuff," Gerald said.

	Then they both stopped in the middle of the living room seeing
there were two others in the house.

	"Oh sorry, Hi Donnie, Hi Nick," Daniel said.

	Nick and Gerald's eyes met. Gerald's heart stopped and so did
Nick's. Gerald's eye opened wide and a broad smile covered his entire
face. This surprise caused the packages he was holding to slip from his
hands. He bent down to pick them up and Nick jumped to help him. Gerald was
about to say something, when Nick gave him a panicked look. Gerald caught
the hint. He wanted to say screw it and grab Nick and kiss him. He had been
thinking a lot about Nick and their encounter in the bathroom at the
gallery.

	Chase introduced Gerald to Donnie and Nick. First he shook Donnie's
hand and got a cordial hello. Then he shook Nick's hand and both boys felt
an electric shock run thru their bodies. No one paid attention to the looks
on their faces except Daniel. He thought they had met at the gallery but
wasn't sure until now. "This could be trouble," Daniel said to himself.

	They all sat down and started to talk, but the subject had changed
because of the interruption. Gerald and Nick anxiously stared at each
other. Gerald's leg began to move up and down in a nervous twitch.

	"Would anyone like something to drink?" Daniel asked, "How about a
beer?"

	"Yeah," Donnie said, "I think I need one."

	"I do, too," Nick said not thinking his brother would agree.

	"Yeah, I think you do too. You can have one Nick; but just one,"
Donnie said trying to show some kind of support for the brother.

	"You want one too, Gerald?" Daniel asked

	"Yeah sure."

	"Why don't you and Nick go to the kitchen and get us all beers,
Ok?" Daniel said, figuring these two had to have some time alone or they
were going to bust.

	Nick and Gerald sprang up at the opportunity to sneak off for a
second. Gerald knew what Daniel was doing and as he passed Daniel, he
leaned in to his ear and whispered, "Thanks," and headed off to the kitchen
with Nick right behind him.

	As soon as they were both in the kitchen and out of the site of
everyone in the living room, especially Donnie, Gerald turned around and
pinned Nick against the refrigerator, holding his hands against the door
and buried his tongue deep inside Nick's mouth. Nick responded by dueling
his tongue with Gerald's. Gerald released Nick's hands; they both took each
other in their arms, and kissed again rubbing their hands under each
other's shirts feeling their smooth bodies. Both young men were full hard
and their bulging crotches were very noticeable through their jeans.

	"You took out those spear things from your nipples," Nick whispered
while panting as he ran his hand over Gerald's chest.

	"Yeah, this morning," Gerald said while holding Nick in his arms.

	"I liked how you looked with those things but I think you look hot
like this, too."

	They kissed again and held onto each other, running their hands
over their bodies.

	"I thought I really fucked up when I didn't give you my phone
number," Nick said softly, "this is so great, I can't believe you're here."
Nick held Gerald tighter.

	"Yeah, when I realized I didn't have your number, I ran out of the
bathroom, but you had already gone. I thought I would never see you again,
but here you are. You sure have been on my mind ever since you left,"
Gerald smiled, "I even beat off thinking of you this morning."

	"I beat off five times since the gallery, and it was you who I was
thinking about every time," Nick said with a broad grin, they kissed again.

	"I want to make love to you Nick, but we can't with them here,"
Gerald said referring to the three others in the next room. They kissed
again.

	"Hey, what's taking you guys so long with those beers?" Chase
yelled. He was about to get up when Nick and Gerald came back into the
living room with 5 beers.

	"Ah, here we go," Donnie said.

	 No one mentioned again what took them so long, but Daniel could
see that these two young men knew each other and that there was something
special going on. Chase seemed to have figured it out as well and gave
Daniel a knowing look.

	They all sat down and started to drink their beers. Then it was
Nick who brought up the subject of his homosexuality again.

	"Look, in front of all in the room, I am going to say that I am gay
and I don't care who knows about it."

	"All right," Gerald said, and he and Nick clinked their beer
bottles together.

	"Ok, Nick, I guess I have been wrong. Maybe you know what you are
talking about when you say you're gay. I will give you that, but you are
still too young to act on it," Donnie said. "And by that I mean sex,"
Donnie added just to make his point clear, looking over at Gerald.

	"Oh? How old were you when you fucked Jean Marie Scarpetti?" Nick
asked, "15 that's how old you were," Nick answered his own question, "a
year younger than me."

	"How do you know about her?" Donnie exclaimed, "you were only 6 at
the time and besides that's different."

	"You bragged about it for years. Over and over I heard that
story. and Donnie, there is no difference," Nick said defiantly.

	"Why is it different?" Gerald asked quietly, "Because you fucked a
girl and Nick fucked a guy?"

	Donnie didn't catch what Gerald said about Nick no longer being a
virgin. However Daniel and Chase did. Donnie did think that Gerald had a
sharp tongue and hoped his brother would stay clear of him.

	"Yeah, Donnie, what is the difference?" Daniel added.

	"Donnie, you really are out numbered here," Chase laughed, "you're
the only Straight in this Village."

	Donnie leaned back in the sofa. "Fuck, I got lots to learn about
this don't I guys." Donnie said seeming to give in to the will of the room,
"Look Nick, I am sorry, ok, please give me time to let this all sink in, I
love you bro and I don't care if you are gay, I just don't want anything
bad to happen to you."

	Nick got up and hugged his brother.

	"Thanks Donnie, you're the greatest."

	"Hey how about we all go to Pedones' and have pizza, my treat,"
Donnie said.

	"Sounds good to me," they all agreed.

	"Hey, I want to change into some of my new stuff I bought. Nick,
come to my room and help me decide what to wear," Gerald said grabbing his
packages and knowing this would be the perfect time to be alone with Nick.

	"Ok sure," Nick said eagerly. Donnie frowned when Nick got up and
followed Gerald to his room.

	"You guys hurry up now and don't take too long," Donnie said, "I'm
getting hungry."

	"We wont," Gerald lied; or rather he didn't know how long they
would be.

	They got to Gerald's room and shut the door. Then, ever so slowly
and quietly he turned the latch to lock it.

	Gerald and Nick grabbed each other and kissed wildly. Their teenage
hormones were let loose, again.

	Gerald opened and unzipped Nick's shorts, pulled them down,
underwear and all then gulped down Nick's beautiful hard cut dick and
pumped furiously in and out.

	"Oh Fuck," Nick whispered, trying desperately to not yell out.

	Gerald buried his nose in Nick's thick bush and squeezed his hard
ass with both hands. His eyes looked up at Nick, as Nick looked down at
him. Gerald stopped sucking and released Nick's teenage manhood from his
mouth. He stood up took Nick in his arms and kissed him. He let go and
stood back and looked at this hot young guy before him. Gerald unbuttoned
Nick's shirt and let it fall to the floor, then ran his hands over his
chest and stomach, which was remarkably cut for a 16-year-old.

	"You have a fucking hot body," Gerald said, shaking he was so
turned on. He took off his shirt and jeans, and stood naked in front of
this incredibly good-looking guy. He got down on his knees, swallowed
Nick's dick again, and began to move his lips over Nick tool. Faster and
faster he sucked on Nick's hot member until he could feel it swell in his
mouth. On the streets this is when he would pull it out of his mouth and
let his trick cum on his face or other part of his body, but with Nick it
would be different. He wanted to taste his spunk, again; he wanted his
juices. He didn't have to wait long.

	"Oh god, Ger, I am going to cum," Nick's voice whispered.

	Gerald lips increased the pressure around Nick's dick and moved
faster and faster

	"Ahhhh," Nick said trying to be quiet, "cumming," as load after
load of his thick teenage spunk shot down Gerald's throat. "Oh fuck," Nick
kept saying until his cum stopped flowing. Gerald swallowed fast as he
could and didn't loose a drop.

	Gerald released Nick's dick from his mouth and stood up. They
kissed again, but gentle, like two young lovers would after their
lovemaking. The warmth of their naked bodies fueled more passionate kisses.

	"I have to see you again, Nicky. I want you to fuck me, again,"
Gerald pleaded.

	"Donnie goes on duty early tomorrow. I will be home alone. He has a
double shift. You could come over and spend the day with me," a breathless
Nick said.

	"Hmmm yeah, I'd like that, Nicky," Gerald said rubbing his hands
over Nick.

	"How did you get such a hot body?" Gerald asked.

	"Football! I'm starting quarterback for the Redondo Beach Union
High Sea Hawks," Nick said proudly.

	"Hmmm, I'm hooked up with a jock," Gerald joked and kissed Nick
again.

	They both laughed and held onto each other.

	"I really want to make love to you Nicky."

	"I want that too, Ger. I want you to teach me everything. Even what
it feels like to be fucked."

	"I'll teach you anything you want."

	They just held onto each other for a short while.

	"We better get out there before they come looking for us," Nick
said, being the voice of reason, again.

	"Ok, which shirt should I wear?" Gerald asked releasing Nick. He
took the five shirts he bought out of the bags. He also took out his new
pair of cargo shorts and the bikini briefs he bought. He put the briefs on
and stood there smiling at Nick. The outline of his hard dick was clearly
visible through his low cut underwear.

	"Damn you look hot in those," Nick said as he kissed Gerald and
grabbed his crotch.

	"Better stop that or we will never get out of the room," Gerald
laughed, "remember I haven't cum."

	There was a soft knock on the door, "Hey you guys finished up in
there, Donnie and Chase are getting antsy," Daniel whispered through the
door. Daniel knew what they were doing.

	"We'll be out in a second," Gerald said. He just grabbed one of the
shirts and put on his shorts and new Tennis shoes, as Nick buttoned up his
own shirt and pulled up his shorts.

	"Let's go," Nick said as they kissed one more time.

	They opened the door and walked out to the living room.

	"Ah here they are," Chase said. He looked at the two boys and knew
what went on in the bedroom, but didn't say anything. He hoped Donnie
didn't catch on.

	"Come on, I'm hungry. I'll drive," Donnie said realizing his car
was the only one that would hold all five comfortably. He wasn't happy that
Nick seemed to be getting friendly with Gerald but didn't catch on just how
friendly they really were.

	When they got to Pedones, the small popular restaurant was fairly
busy, but this was a favorite eating spot for the Hermosa Beach
Police. Naturally Donnie was well known there and they got a table fairly
quick. They ordered two large pizzas with everything on it, two pitchers of
beer for the adults, and two cokes for the teens.

	While they waited for their pizzas to be served, two of Donnie's
fellow Hermosa Beach police officers walked in dressed in full uniform.

	"Hey, Donnie," one of the officers said as they approached the
table. Gerald's heart stopped.

	Donnie introduced everyone at the table to his fellow
officers. When it came to Gerald, he couldn't talk he just nodded. He was
scared, scared speechless. He wanted to get up and run but then that would
give him away. He started to sweat.

	Daniel noticed there was something really wrong with Gerald and
kept an eye on him.

	"Well, Donnie, see you at the station bright and early tomorrow,"
one of the officers said, "nice meeting you all." They all said their
good-byes as the officer grabbed their take out pizza and left the
restaurant.

	"Fuck," Gerald yelled in his head, "Donnie's a fucking cop!"

	"Uhmm, I have to go to the bathroom," Gerald said out loud.

	"You ok, Gerald," Daniel said. Gerald was noticeably pale.

	"Yeah, I'm ok, just hungry I guess. I got to pee." He got up
quickly and headed for the bathroom. Nick, seeing how distressed Gerald
looked, followed him.

	They got to the bathroom and Gerald franticly checked the stalls to
see if anyone else was in there. They were alone.

	"Why didn't you tell me your brother was a fucking cop?" Gerald
asked in a panic while looking for a way out ... like an open window.

	"I don't know, I didn't think it was important. What is the
problem, Gerald?"

	The one lone window was locked and Gerald knew the only way out was
through the front door. He thought about making a run for it, again. He
took a deep breath and tried to keep himself under control. He didn't want
to give himself away, even to Nick.

	"No, I guess its just me, you know coming from the streets, I get a
bit edgy around cops," Gerald felt good with his cover up story. He still
didn't know what he was going to do.

	"Why would you be so afraid of the police," Nick asked naïvely.

	Gerald looked down at his feet. "A guy has to do a lot of things he
doesn't want to do in order to survive when they're homeless," Gerald said,
not sure if what he was about to tell Nick would make a difference in their
budding relationship.

	"I had to sell my body to make money, Nick. I didn't like it that
was the only thing I could do. Then I got involved with this crazy guy
Andreas Muller and it really fucked me up."

	"So you are a male hooker," Nick said, not knowing what to really
think of this.

	"Yeah, I was, I guess, but I don't want to do that anymore. It
scares me. Lots of crazies out there and I was always running from the
cops. Hell sometimes in order to not get put in jail I would have to suck
off a cop or let him fuck me. It's not the kind of life I dreamed of. Don't
hate me Nicky, ok? I am trying to clean up my act."

	"I don't hate you Ger" Nick said pulling him into his arms, "but
I'm glad you're trying to better yourself. I'm happy you told me all this,
too, it means you trust me. And Ger, my brother is not like those other
cops who made you do things you didn't want to do. He's a good guy, in
spite of what you saw today." Nick drew Gerald closer and kissed him.

	"I like you a lot Nicky. You're a great guy and I hope what I just
told you wont make a difference," Gerald said, not knowing what Nick would
do if he knew the other reason he was terrified of the police. He didn't
want them to recognize him. He didn't want to go to jail.

	"Come on, Ger, our pizza's getting cold," Nick smiled and put his
arm around Gerald's shoulders and headed for the bathroom door.

	They got back to their table just as the pizzas arrived.

	"Ah there you guys are. Are you ok, Gerald?" Daniel said.

	"Yeah, I am now," he lied. Nothing had changed he just knew how to
hide it better.

	They all enjoyed their dinner and talked, and laughed about nothing
in particular. Gerald wondered what his next step should be. He really
liked Nick; he had a hot body and was fun to have sex with. He even felt
like there was something building up between them.

	He also was enjoying the attention that Daniel and Chase were
giving him. He felt at home with them, even though he knew he should
leave. He was silent through most of the meal in spite of the efforts of
Daniel, Chase, Nick and even Donnie, to try and get him talking. He was
thinking about his dilemma, but couldn't come up with an answer. So, he
decided to not think about it for a while. He felt safe where he was, like
no one could touch him. He had his friends to protect him. Yes, he was
going to stick around for a while to see what would happen.

	Now that Gerald made that decision, he looked over at Nick, smiled,
reached under the table, and grabbed his thigh very close to his
crotch. Nick's eyes opened wide, and he smiled back as his dick hard.

	"You feeling better now, Gerald," Daniel said, noticing the
pronounced change in his demeanor.

	"Yeah, I feel much better," He said while taking a big bite of his
pizza with everything on it.

	Still, Gerald couldn't look Donnie in the eye. The fear of going to
jail for his heinous crime was still there.

*******************************

	Michael's big Lexus drove toward his newly renovated home. It was
nearly sunset and Michael wanted Charlie to see the remodel before
dark. So, they drove toward Manhattan Beach to Michael's ultra modern
condominium.

	"Ok, we're getting close, so close your eyes," Michael said to
Charlie.

	"Close my eyes?"

	"Yeah, just close them," Michael said, with a big grin, "I want you
to be in the right position when you first see the place." Michael was like
a kid, showing his best friend his new toy.

	"Ok, babe, anything you want," Charlie said, feeling a bit foolish
with his eyes closed in the car.

	"Ok were getting closer, but don't open your eyes, just yet."

	Charlie just smiled and thought about how wonderful the day had
been so far. The moment they woke up this morning in Charlie's bed they
made love, then again in the shower.

	Charlie took Michael surfing and introduced him to his surf
buds. Michael turned out to be an adequate surfer, not in the league of the
rest of the crowd, but enough to not make a fool of himself. Some of
Charlie's friends wondered why he was hanging with this guy Michael, who
was much older than him, but most didn't seem to care one way or the other.

	It helped that Chase was there for support, again, but then Chase
was always there for him and Charlie was always there for Chase. His love
for Chase had taken a different path now. They were friends, they were
brothers, and that would never change. Charlie loved Michael in ways he
never loved anyone else, not even Chase.

	After Michael and Charlie surfed, they went back to Charlie's
apartment to shower and made love again. That was 3 times and it wasn't
even 8 AM yet. The rest of the morning they spent in bed touching their
naked bodies, just talking about their lives, and anything else that would
come to mind.

	Michael took Charlie to a really nice restaurant for lunch. He
smiled watching Charlie drink expensive red wine while eating a hamburger
and French Fries. But Charlie seemed to really be enjoying himself and that
made Michael happy. When the finished eating they sat around the table
sipping more wine and learning more about each other.

	After lunch they went to a secluded beach and walked barefoot along
the surf. Then drove up to the bluffs off the Palos Verdes peninsula where
hey found a cove away from prying eyes. Before long, Michael had Charlie's
big dick in his mouth and was swallowing his load of cum. Charlie did the
same for Michael a little while later. They held each other and watched the
waves crash on the shore near their sheltered lover's perch.

	Now they were on the way to Michael's condo where Michael promised
to cook them a gourmet dinner.

	They pulled into the underground parking garage of the complex, and
Michael urged Charlie to continue to keep his eyes closed. He got out of
the car, went around, opened the door for Charlie, and guided him to the
complex and positioned Charlie directly in front of his home.

	"Ok, now you can open your eyes," Michael said.

	Charlie opened wide and was bowled over by the magnificent modern
structure in front of him with its huge windows and sharp, angular lines.

	"Wow, this place is fantastic, Michael. Damn, look at this," he
said all excited.

	"Wait until you see the inside, come on," Michael urged.

	They walked up a flight of stairs and Michael opened the front
door. There in the front hall was Daniel's "Abstract Intersections"
sculpture placed on a table with a spotlight pointed on it.

	"That looks great there," Charlie said.

	"Yeah, I really like it. We will have to have Daniel and Chase over
to see it someday soon. The picture of you surfing that big wave is at my
office. I will take you there to see it. Come on take a look in here."

	They walked into the living room where the two-story floor to
ceiling windows overlooked The Strand and the beach. The setting sun cast
an orange glow in the walls, as well as the stainless steel fireplace.

	"Damn!" Charlie gasped, "this is unbelievable, Michael."

	"Then you really like it?" Michael asked Charlie as held him in his
arms and kissed him.

	"Hell yeah! What's not to like. This place is unreal," Charlie
replied.

	"I'm glad," Michael said, wanting to ask Charlie to move in with
him right there and then, but he knew this was too soon in their
relationship.

	The sun was about to set and Michael wanted to take Charlie to the
rooftop deck so they could watch the sun sink into the ocean. Michael went
to the wine cooler and took out a bottle of champagne then grabbed two
champagne flutes from the cabinet.

	"Come on Charlie, I will show you the rest of the place later, but
first I want you to see this."

	Charlie didn't say anything he was too awestruck for words. He just
followed his lover up several flights of stairs to the roof deck that was
complete with table, cushioned chairs, large market umbrella, and two
chaise lounges.

	"Damn, look at this," Charlie said as he looked at the deck.

	"See, look here Charlie, at that view of the ocean and Palos
Verdes," Michael said as he popped the cork on the champagne and poured
them each a glass. They clinked their glasses and Michael gave a toast.

	"Here's to us Charlie, I love you babe."

	"I love you too, Michael, your place is too fantastic." Charlie
said and raised his glass, "To Us."

	They each took a big drink of their champagne.

	Michael took Charlie's glass and set it down on the patio table
near them. He took Charlie in his arms and they kissed long and deep.

	"Its very private up here Charlie, no one can see us. I want to
make love to you as the sun goes down," Michael panted.

	"Out here in the open?" Charlie asked, "Cool."

	Michael smiled and kissed Charlie again as his hand began to
unbutton his shirt. Slowly they removed their clothes and stood naked with
their big 9 inch dicks pointing at each other. It was a warm evening and
even on the roof they did not feel the wind. Michael looked up at the sun.

	"Look Charlie," he said as Charlie turned around toward the setting
sun and Michael wrapped his arms around him. The golden rays of the sun
illuminated their bodies as the edge of the giant orb touched the
water. Michael caressed Charlie's chest and stomach as they watched the
sunset.

	"I love your body, Charlie," Michael whispered as he kissed the
side of Charlie's neck.

	"Oh yeah," Charlie said totally aroused by what Michael was doing
to him. He felt Michael's hard-on poking him in his butt. Michael place his
dick just below Charlie ass where it was pushing at his balls and began to
move his hips in and out of his hot young lover.

	"I'm going to fuck you right here, Charlie, standing up while we
watch the sun go down."

	"Oh yeah," Charlie panted. He didn't care how Michael fucked him;
he just wanted that big dick of his inside him.

	Michael picked up his pants from the chair that he threw them on,
took out a small bottle of KY liquid lube from the pocket, and coated his
raging cock with the slick substance and grabbed on to Charlie again from
behind. His hands were still covered with the lube as he ran them along
Charlie's smooth chest and stomach. The slick liquid caused Charlie's
smooth tanned torso to reflect the orange, red and gold's of the setting
sun. Michael kissed Charlie's shoulder.

	"Ready my love?" Michael asked.

	"Fuck me Michael, before the sunsets."

	Michael didn't have to look at his cock, he knew by now where
Charlie's hole was, maneuvered his huge hard-on, and put pressure on
Charlie's sphincter muscle and his dick slowly slid all the way in. Charlie
felt Michael's manhood resting inside him as it stretched his insides to
the limit.

	"Oh Fuck, Michael...God I love you...you feel soon damn ... God,
you feel good, damn I love that dick or yours." Charlie was hard and he
wanted to cum, but he wanted to feel Michael fucking him more.

	"I'm going to fuck you hard now my love," Michael warned.

	"Oh pound my ass baby, you know how I like it," Charlie said, way
beyond merely turned on by his lover, but to a point were he would do
anything Michael wanted, even jump off the roof. But Michael would never
ask that of Charlie, he loved him too much to hurt him in anyway.

	Michael began to move in and out of Charlie's ass. The sun was
about half way into the horizon and Michael wanted to cum inside Charlie
before the sun completely disappeared.

	Faster and harder Michael pumped in and out of Charlie's
ass. Charlie had to steady himself against the railing as they looked at
the sunset. He could feel Michael's big dick swell inside him and knew he
was about to cum. Charlie was close to cumming himself and Michael sensed
that, ran his hand down to Charlie's rigid manhood, and began to beat him
off.

	"Fuck, Michael, I am going to cum."

	"I'm cumming, Charlie." And with that Michael shot his load over
and over inside Charlie's seasoned ass. "Oh fuck," Michael said as his body
shuttered with each thrust inside his lover.

	"Oh God, Michael," Charlie gasped as his intense orgasm shot a huge
wad of cum way over the railing. Charlie wasn't sure where his cum would
land, nor did he care that it ended up on the ground of the deserted
Strand.

	Michael held onto Charlie as he gave his last thrust inside his
partner. Charlie swayed a bit from the weight of Michael and the effect of
his powerful orgasm.

	They breathe heavy as they watched the sun disappear completely
into the sea. The sky was lit up with reds, and yellows and
oranges. Michael's cock slid out of Charlie who then turned around and
kissed him. They only had eyes for each other, now. The sunset was
beautiful, but nothing compared to the love they had for each other.

	They stood there in an embrace until the sky turned completely
dark, kissing each other whenever they felt the whim to do so, which was
often.

	Totally satisfied, they each grabbed their champagne flutes and
clothes, and walked naked down the stairs into the living room.

	"Let me show you the rest of the house, then I will cook us
dinner," Michael said.

	"Ok great," Charlie agreed as he looked at his lovers body. He had
his clothes in his hand and threw them on a chair. "We wont need these will
we?"  Charlie had a broad grin on his face.

	"Nope, no clothes on tonight," Michael said as he took Charlie in
his arms and kissed him.

	"Yeah, that's how I like it, too," Charlie said with a smile.

	"Come on, let's take a shower. I want to show you our bedroom,"
Michael said.

	Charlie noticed that Michael referred to the bedroom as "our"
bedroom. That sent a thrill through Charlie's body. He wished he could be
with Michael and move in, but knew it was too soon to make that kind of
decision.

	The bedroom was large and dimly lit. Charlie noticed the enormous
bed.

	"Wow, that bed is great," Charlie said as he jumped and landed on
this back on the large mattress. Michael stared at his lover's naked body
then jumped next to him on his stomach then ran his hand on Charlie's
chest.

	"Damn this is comfortable," Charlie said as he squirmed his back
and his butt into the mattress.

	"Glad you like it babe," Michael said, then leaned over Charlie and
kissed him.

	Out of the corner of his eye, Charlie noticed something and sat up.

	"Damn, it's you that bought the picture," Charlie said as he went
up to the picture of him holding his surfboard as he came out of the water;
the one that disappeared from the gallery. Seems everyone was sworn to
secrecy on who purchased it until Charlie got to see it on the wall with a
pin spotlight illuminating it.

	"I love that picture of you Charlie. I couldn't see anyone else
having it but me. I convinced Chase to not sell any more prints of that
one. This is my picture of the man I love."

	Charlie took Michael in his arms and they kissed. "Thanks Michael,
you sure know how to make me feel special. I love you."

	"I love you too, and you are special." They kissed again and began
to get aroused.

	"Come on let's shower. Maybe I could fuck you one more time before
dinner."

********************************

	After their meal of pizza with everything on it, Daniel, Chase,
Donnie, Nick, and Gerald headed back to the beach house.

	"You guys wanna come in for another beer?" Chase asked Donnie and
Nick as they pulled up in front of the beach house.

	"Yeah, sure," Donnie said then looked at Nick, "yeah you can have
another one too, bro." Donnie was feeling good. He felt he and Nick had
learned something about each other today. He still didn't suspect the Nick
and Gerald were intimate. He had a bad feeling about Gerald though and
decided to talk with Nick and tell him to stay away from him.

	Daniel went inside and got the beers while the rest sat on the
front porch. It was a hot night, even on The Strand. The air was still and
it was difficult to breathe inside the house. This was fairly typical for
an August night.

	They sat around and talked for a while. Daniel noticed the way Nick
and Gerald looked at each other. He decided he had better have a talk with
Gerald about this situation.

	Nick took a couple swigs of his beer, then stood up, and started to
walk from the porch.

	"Want to go for a walk?" Nick asked Gerald.

	"Sure," Gerald said with a smile. He was glad to get away so he and
Nick could talk freely.

	"You guys leave your beers here, if you are going to walk on The
Strand," Donnie said, being the perennial cop.

	"Yes, officer," Nick teased.

	Everyone laughed as Nick and Gerald put down their beers on the
step and began to walk toward the beach. Daniel followed them with his
eyes. He hoped these two teenage boys would not get too carried away. He
knew Donnie would not like what was going on.

	The two teens walked out onto the sand and headed toward the shore.

	The sun had long since set and as soon as they were lost in the
darkness, away from the lights of The Strand, Gerald took Nick's hand. As
they got closer to the water's edge, Nick released his hand from Gerald's
and they put their arms around each other's waists. When they passed an
empty lifeguard station, Nick pushed Gerald up against the stairs, grabbed
him in his arms, and kissed him wildly and with uncontrolled passion,
sucking on Gerald's tongue which he remembered how to do from their
encounter in the gallery bathroom.

	Gerald broke the kiss and said in Nick's ear, "I think I created a
monster." They both laughed amid the crashing of the waves. Nick unzipped
Gerald's shorts and pulled them down as he got down on his knees and
swallowed Gerald's hard dripping cock. There was no Prince Albert ring on
his dick head, but Nick still took too much of Gerald's dick in his mouth
and began to gag. The crashing of the waves prevented Gerald from hearing
this, but Nick managed to remember what Gerald told him and only took in
what he could.

	He began to move his head in and out on Gerald's cock just like he
remembered. Instinctively, Nick ran his hands up under Gerald's shirt and
began to caress his upper body. He released Gerald's dick to catch his
breath, but kept jacking his cock slick with his saliva. Then he swallowed
Gerald's cock again and continued his attack on his manhood. Nick's warm
mouth completely covered Gerald's hard dick, as his attack grew more and
more rapid. Nick gagged a few more times but he quickly gained control,
again. He loved this sensation of Gerald's rigid teenage manhood in his
mouth. Taking a deep breath, he drank in the taste and smells of Gerald's
crotch.

	If Nick could hear, he would have heard Gerald's moans of
ecstasy. He would have also heard Gerald tell him he was about to cum, but
the noises from the waves prevented that from being heard as well.

	"Ahhh, fuck," Gerald said as his first volley of cum shot in Nick's
unsuspecting mouth. He choked at first and cum dribbled from his mouth down
his chin, but managed the next volley and began to swallow Gerald tangy
nectar. Gerald kept cumming and Nick kept swallowing. This was his first
taste of spunk and he loved it all, mainly because it was coming from
Gerald. Nick pumped and pumped until no more of Gerald's spunk drained from
his balls. Nick stood up and kissed Gerald on the lips and Gerald cleaned
Nick from any residue of his sperm left in Nick's mouth and chin. Gerald
couldn't get over how intense his orgasm was from Nick first real
blowjob. They held onto each other not saying anything at first.

	Then Gerald spoke up and said into his ear, "You are terrific,
Nicky. That was fantastic. How did you like it?"

	"Fucking great," Nick said into Gerald ear. They kissed again. "I
like the taste of your cum."

	"Let me do you now," Gerald said, eager to reciprocate.

	"No," Nick said to Gerald's surprise, "I want this to be
special. This was just for you."

	Gerald looked into his eyes, smiled, and kissed his lips. "Wow, I
could fall in love with this guy, if I let myself," Gerald said in his
thoughts, "but I better not. I'm going to have to get out of here sometime
soon and I don't want to hurt him."

	Gerald smiled at Nick again, then bent down to pick up his shorts.

	"I love you, Ger," Nick said softly knowing his words would be
drowned out by the crash of the waves.

	Gerald stood and kissed Nick again. "We better get back to the
house before they send out a search party." They both laughed and started
to walk across the long expanse of sand to The Strand hand in hand.

	Halfway there they let go of their hands, when Nick asked Gerald,
"Do you have a cel phone, Ger?"

	"No, can't afford one, why?" Gerald said.

	"Here take mine," Nick said as he took his own Razr cel phone out
of his pocket and gave it to Gerald. "I will call you in the morning when
Donnie leaves for work. Then you can come over and we can be alone."

	"Cool, Nicky, thanks," Gerald said just as they got to The Strand
and headed to Daniel and Chase's house. Both boys were in love with each
other but were afraid to say anything, each for different reasons.

************************************

	Around 2 AM, a man knocked on Charlie's apartment door. Of course,
no one answered because Charlie was curled up in Michael's arms at his
condo.

	The man knocked again and still, no answer. He opened a leather
Louis Vitton bag he carried over his shoulder, almost like a woman's
purse. He took out a pen and paper and wrote a note.

	Dear, Charlie,
		I stopped by, but you are not home, again. I tried calling
you several times but no answer. You are giving me a complex. One would
think you are trying to avoid me.

	Here is something that you might want to play with. If you want
more just give me a call. I sure can't wait for the big dick of yours to
fuck me again.

	Love
	Steven

	Steven Marks took out an envelope from his bag and put in a baggy
of cocaine, sealed the envelope along with the note he wrote and stuck it
in the crack of the door. Then turned and left.

	"I think I will be hearing from Charlie really soon," Steven said
as he walked down the stairs to his car.
