Subject: Protecting David 2

"You feeling okay babe?"  I took the plastic bag full of David's personal
stuff from him with one hand and pulled him to me for a hug with the other
hand.  I was trying to be very gentle because his incision wasn't totally
healed and I was going to be treating him with kid gloves until it was.

"Yeah Mark, I'm good."  Then he smiled up at me and touched his forehead to
my chest and said.  "God you smell good."

"Unnh uh."  I put my hand on the back of his neck.  "No sex stuff for you
buddy, not until you're healed.  The most exciting thing we're gonna be
doing for the next week is holding hands.  Okay and maybe kissing."  I was
rubbing the back of his neck and he kind of rolled his head back against my
hand.

"I know," he whined, "you just feel so fucking good is all."  Then more
seriously.  "But I know hun I won't do anything stupid, the doctor told me
all the crap that can happen.  I'll be good.  Let's just get the fuck out
of this hospital."  Then touching his forehead to my chest again.  "If
you're good I'll show you my scar."  He smiled up at me and those million
watt green eyes flashed with humor.  God could I love this man any more?

After the nurse wheeled David to the main entrance in a wheelchair we
walked out into a beautiful late June day.  David was as a happy as a puppy
being out of the hospital but he was walking deliberately and obviously was
very aware of his surgery.  I had brought him fresh clothing to wear home
because of course what he had on during the attack had been covered in
blood.  His pretty little butt looked gorgeous in the Docker's I had
brought him.  When we finally got in my car and had some measure of privacy
we turned to each other simultaneously and said.  "I love you."  We
laughed, then David tried to bend towards me and when he grimaced I stopped
him with my hand.  "Just turn your head babe don't lean, let me do the
moving."  He did and we kissed but I kept my hand on his shoulder holding
him from moving too much.

I knew that I could make too much of this moment and I didn't want to get
too emotional, there had been enough crying, so I just sat back down and
started the car.  After we got on the road to my house I put my hand over
David's and squeezed it.  He immediately wrapped his hand around mine.  We
stayed that way until we reached home.  Because of the memories associated
with David's house we decided to stay at mine and decide later what to do
about his.  I know that I didn't care where I was living as long as I was
with David.

I held the door for David and touched his back with my hand as he walked
past me into the living room.  He stopped, turned and walked back into my
arms.  I wrapped my arms gently around him as he laid his head on my chest.

"You're safe David."  I rubbed his back feeling him under the light shirt.
"He's gone and there's nothing else to hurt you."  I kissed the side of his
head.  I could feel his heart beating and feel his warm breath coming
through my shirt.

"I know ... I know I'm safe.  It's just the whole emotional thing of the
last week.  A little overwhelming is all."  He gripped me tighter and spoke
into my chest.  "I didn't want him dead.  I mean even after all that
happened, over the years, I mean he was sick, crazy, but I didn't want him
dead."

"I know you didn't baby."  I was stroking the back of his head.  "He made
that decision, not you.  What's important now is that you get well.  We
gotta get you all healed."  I wrapped his head in my hands.  "Right baby?"

"Yeah right.  I will.  I'll be good and get all healed."  He pulled back
and looked up at me.  "Promise me something?"

"Anything David."

"As soon as I'm well you'll fuck my brains out."  A shy little grin and
those flashing green eyes again.

I took his head in both of my hands and kissed him deeply.  "We'll fuck all
night every night sweetheart.  You won't be able to fuckin sit for months."

"Good.  Then you must still think I'm hot."

"The hottest babe.  But right now we gotta put the thought of fucking outta
our minds and get you settled.  I don't think that on your first day home
you should be on your feet this much.  What I could do, if you promise not
to turn it into a sex romp, is give you a back rub."

"Oh fuck yes!  I'd love a back rub!"

"Okay let's go into the bedroom and get you into shorts or something then
I'll do my backrub thing."  I took his hand and walked slowly with him into
our bedroom.  I could tell that he was getting worn out but the backrub
wouldn't hurt and then he could sleep.  We both stripped down to our boxers
and I got behind him on the bed and began massaging his shoulders.  I
wished I had thought to pick up some oil of some sort but I hadn't.  David
didn't seem to notice.  After about fifteen minutes he was beginning to nod
off and I just lowered him gently to the bed.  His head was resting on my
arm and I pulled the sheet up over us.  I watched him sleep for a while and
then drifted off myself.  I woke up after an hour or so because David was
whimpering in his sleep and fighting and unseen enemy.  I guess I could
figure out who that might be.  I began stroking his hair and as always it
calmed him right away.  How long would the nightmares continue?  I couldn't
imagine.  I still got mine occasionally.

When I awoke again David was laying kind of half on my chest with his arm
around me.

"You awake babe?"

"Kinda."

"How are your stitches?"

"Horny."  A little laugh and he hugs me tighter.

"I see, your stitches are horny.  How are you?"

"Horny."  David licks my right nipple.

"Oh babe no!  Come on!  You know you can't do that yet."  I turn his face
up to mine.  "You know how bad I want to do it too.  But you have to have
time to heal.  You know what the fuckin doctor told you."  I bend my head
down and we almost get our lips to meet.

"I know, I'll be good."  He smiled up at me.  "But I'm still horny."

I sat up in bed and said.  "Well, let me think about it.  You know there's
a doctor in the Army who is still a good friend of mine and I may have an
idea."  I jumped out of bed.  "Where the fuck would I have his number.  I
think he was headed to Fort Ord."  I walked quickly back to the bed where
David was sitting up.  "Sweetheart I would feel lots better if you would
try just laying there and resting."  I held up my hand to silence his
protests.  "I know you don't fucking want to but that doc scared the shit
outta me with all the crap that can go wrong."  I pushed him lightly back
down with me kissing him all the way.  "David I know that I may be being
overly protective here but," I could feel myself choking up.  "you're the
most important thing in my life baby.  Please do this for me babe."  I
kissed his closed eyes.  "Please!"

David looked up at me and spoke seriously.  "I wish that I had known you
when we were both little boys.  We could have fished together and gone
camping."  He reached up and ran his fingers through my hair.  "We could
have slept over at each others houses and watched TV together and screwed
around with each others cars and learned to play pool together and then one
night we would have slept over and things would have gone further and you
would have kissed me and I would have kissed you back and then we would
have beatoff together and then eventually you would have made real love to
me and my legs would be wrapped around a seventeen year old Mark and we'd
be in love and we'd have spent our whole lifes together."  I felt a tear
running down my face but I ignored it.  "Mark if you want me to rest then
it's a done deal.  You said that I'm the most important thing in your life.
I wish I could tell you what you've become to me.  There wasn't even a me
until you came along you're everything to me."  There were tears running
down David's eyes.  I leaned forward and wrapped him gently in my arms.  I
kissed him and held him.

I few minutes later I got up and eventually found the doc's phone number or
actually the number that would get me his.  Ten minutes later I was talking
to him and he confirmed what I thought might be the case.  David could have
sex as long as he didn't use his stomach muscles.  That of course ruled out
fucking but the doc had suggested something that would be safe and fun.  He
had been the only guy in the Army that had known that I was gay.  I always
kinda thought that he might be too but it never went beyond that.

I went to the linen closet and got the two extra pillows there and then to
the living room to get the pillows of the sofa.  I took them all back to
the bedroom.

"Okay, here's the plan."  David rolled on his side and looked at me.
"Paul, that's my doctor friend, says that it's not the actual getting off
that could hurt where they operated, it's any movement of the liver itself.
Apparently while you're healing the tissue that was cut is mending itself
back together and it's any shock to those delicate fibers that needs to be
avoided.  So anyway this is what he suggested.  We're gonna build a little
platform out of pillows that you can lay on.  Your own weight will then
help to keep everything in place and stable."  David was beginning to look
excited.  "You can put fucking out of your mind.  Paul says that too many
things are involved, including an eight inch dick going up your butt, to
even consider it until the end of the week.

"Okay move over."  I piled up the pillows into a rectanglular pile about
eighteen inches wide and forty inches long and maybe twenty four inches
high

"You ready?"  David was all but bouncing up and down.

"Your bet.  What do I do?"

"Well for starters loose the boxers."  David rolled slowly onto his back
and stripped them off, he was totally hard.

"Okay you're gonna lay on the little platform we got here with only your
dick and legs hanging off."  David climbed onto the pillows.  "Now rest
your head on your hands and don't move em.  Remember one of the keys here
is that I'm gonnna do all of the work.  You just lay their and stay still.

"Is this right?  Is it the way you want me?"  David's voice was a little
muffled

"God babe, you look so fucking hot!"  I was slowly jerking my cock but if I
had wanted to I could have cum right then from looking at David's hot ass.

David started to rise up and I had to push him back down.  "No babe,
absolutely flat and try to relax."  And remember no matter what you feel me
doing don't tense your muscles and don't try to get up.

I started by rubbing my hands over David's back starting with the back of
his neck which I massaged deeply with both of my thumbs.  Then I started
sweeping lightly down his back with my hands making as much light contact
as possible.  David was beginning to make little sounds, not quite moans
but getting there.  Then I lightly rubbed his legs and finally started to
focus on his beautiful ass.  I lightly bit the mounds of his butt and
started to slowly spread his cheeks licking and blowing and going very
slowly.  David was beginning to make the David sound but very softly.  I
continued to work my way in towards his asshole, licking, blowing and
taking soft little bites.  David's cock was sticking straight down and
pressing against the pillows.  I took a hand towel and put it between his
dick and the sheets and then returned to his butt.  When I finally zeroed
in on his butt hole I used only my tongue and licked in circles to the
center of asshole.  Then I started to lick down the back of his dick,
nibbling just a little on the very sensitive skin.  The precum was running
out of David's dick in a steady stream and I scooped up a bunch of it and
coated my entire palm with it.  Then I started to lick David's asshole
again and used my lubed hand to start stroking David's cock.  "Annngh,
annngh, annngh!"  Were the sounds coming from David steadily.

"Mark, I'm gonna fucking cum.  Oh Mark, oh fuck, oh fuck."

David shot so hard that it splashed.  I caught the following shots in my
hand and used David's cum as lube to jack myself off.  It didn't take much,
especially knowing that I was using David's cum, for me to shoot myself.
While David was filling the towel with his cum I was coating David's ass
with my cum.  God how I wanted to fuck him!

Once the aftershocks in David's body stopped I helped him get off the
pillows and lay on his back with a couple of the pillows under his head.  I
laid down next him on my stomach and looked into his pretty green eyes.

"So I take it that was okay?  I mean you were shooting cum like a fucking
firehose."  I leaned over and kissed his chest.

"It was fantastic.  God I needed to cum.  It's been a week, no more than a
week, anyway I was horny as hell.

'You're always horny as hell."  I smiled at him.  "Not that I'm complaining
you understand.  I like having you horny.  But do you suppose I could get a
real nap out of you now?"  I climbed up next to him and kissed him.
"Please babe?  This is your first day home and I don't want you getting
sick."

"Will you stay with me until I fall asleep?"  David's black hair had fallen
over his forehead and his emerald eyes looked tired.

"I sure will hun."  David snuggled down next to me.  We were lying right
next to each other and soon I felt his hand take mine and we fell asleep
holding hands.

The next day David and I set out to do some food shopping and then a trip
to his house to pickup some more of his clothes and a few other things that
he needed.

We were shopping in our local supermarket, I was picking up some vegetables
and David wandered ahead into the next aisle.  When I turned the corner I
could see him at the other end of the aisle.  He was standing there
examining a can of something dressed in his favorite tan Docker's and a
pale blue polo type shirt and it just struck me that this guy belonged to
me.  I mean I already knew that but this was the first time that it really
hit home.  That handsome, sexy guy down there was mine.  He wasn't a
fantasy or a figment of my imagination this was a real man, my real man and
he loved me.  He fucking loved me!

I pushed the cart up right behind David and leaned over and whispered in
his ear.  "Hey buddy!  Wanna fuck?"

"Didn't your mother ever tell you it's not nice to tease horny guys?"
David looked at me and tilting his head and shoving his hands in his
pockets.  "And isn't this "thou shalt not fuck" punishment about over?"

We kind of ambled past the racks of soup and I said.  "Well you know...
well actually tomorrow.  Tomorrow is gentle fuck Wednesday, if you behave
yourself and take it easy."

David was rummaging through the shopping cart.  "Spinach!  I can't fucking
believe you're buying spinach!  What the hell are gonna do with that?"

"I'm feeding that to my boyfriend.  I was gonna say my fucking boyfriend
but we still have to see how he behaves."  David was rolling his eyes in
mock disgust.

"Well if you want me to eat that shit you better drape it on your dick."

"I could do that.  I could definitely do that."  I walked behind David and
descretely palmed his ass.  "Are you doin okay?  I asked seriously.

"I'm doing good Mark, don't worry so much... well maybe a little tired."
I could see it, and something more, in his eyes.

"Well hang in there babe this is our last stop.  I just have to check out
and were gone.  Do you wanna go sit in the car?  Here babe take the keys.
I'll be the in a second."

David took the keys and headed toward the car.  I watched his ass as he
walked away.  Fucking incredible!

I finished up inside and carried the bags out to the car and put them in
the trunk.  David was in the front side with it partially reclined.  I
climbed in and looked at him for a bit, then I reached over and put my hand
on his crotch. He was hard and he smiled.

"You're not supposed to tease horny guys you know."  He was smiling kind of
a lazy smile.

"Would you believe that someone just told me that not ten minutes ago?"  I
turned in the seat to face him.  "Sometimes David, this is probably gonna
sound really dumb, but sometimes I just have to convince myself that you're
real."

He laughed out loud.  "You too?  I know what you mean.  When I was getting
out of the shower this morning and saw you standing there naked shaving, it
was just like I had to shake my head for a second."  He reached over and
lightly touched my face with the tips of his fingers.  "For a moment I just
couldn't believe that you were real."  He blinked his eyes and turned to
face forward.  His head was bent down and his black hair had fallen over
his forehead.  Then he said very quietly.  "Don't ever leave me.  I mean,"
he turned to look at me, "I don't think I could deal with that."  Then he
put his hands to his face.  "Fuck, I can't believe that I said that.  Shit!
How fucking needy is that?"

I reached over and took his hand.  "David you're allowed to be needy with
me.  It's okay to tell me what you're afraid of, I won't use it as ammo and
how could I ever be bothered by you needing me?  I need you too.  Remember
that I love you and that isn't going to change."

"Now do you suppose we could get the fuck home?  And I want a two hour nap
outta you when we get home and no more whining."

David rubbed his eyes with the balls of his hands and turned forward in his
seat.  "You got a deal."  Then he looked at me kind of sheepishly.  "Can I
tell you something?  I mean there's something that you did today...well I
don't think you ever did it before."  He stopped talking and had this weird
look on his face like he wished he had never started talking.

I looked at him.  "What David?  Tell me.  David you can tell me anything."
I was trying to think what I might have done that would have upset him and
I was a little bothered that he hadn't said anything at the time.  He was
twisting his fingers.  I reached over and held his hands.  "Talk to me
damnit!"

"Oh fuck, it's not a bad thing."  He turned to me and was smiling now.
"You know that I'm not shy.  I would have told you if you did something I
didn't' like."  David was actually beginning to blush.  He ducked his head.

I was smiling now.  "Then it was a good thing?  A thing you liked?"  I
couldn't think what it might be.

"Okay here it is."  He laid his head back on the seat back and was talking
to the roof of the car.  "I don't know why this is so hard to say but
anyway when we were in there looking at the soup or some shit you came up
next to me and you kinda grabbed my butt."

"And you liked that?  That felt good?"  I couldn't see the big deal.
"Wait!  Is that why you were hard when I got in the car?"

He nodded his head and laughed in an embarrassed way.  "It made me feel, oh
fuck I don't know, like you were taking possession of my ass or some shit
like that."  He turned to look at me.  "Can we not talk about this now?"

"Well now you've got me hard too but yeah we don't have to talk about
it...not right now anyway."  I leaned over and kissed him.  I whispered
to him.  "God I wish this was Wednesday."  I started the car and then
turned to look at David.  "You are mine you know."

"I know, I know!  Will you just fucking drive the car?"  I don't think he
realized it but David was squeezing his dick.

I think that we both deliberately kept the conversation light on the way
home, David because he was still a little embarrassed and I because I was
thinking about what he had told me.  I knew what he was telling me but I
also knew that I had better go slow.  I also knew that he had told me
something very important, something that was key to the sexual side of our
relationship and I took it very seriously.

When we got home David was as good as his word and took his nap with a
minimal amount of urging on my part.  I did promise him that we would have
sex later and then I layed down with him and held him until he was asleep.

While David was sleeping I managed to get in a few business calls.  I still
had to earn a living and while David was on sick leave I wasn't and had to
cover my territory as best I could.  Thanks god none of our products failed
or needed servicing while all this was going on, I suppose that I would
have covered the problem somehow but David came first and I had already
decided that if I had to choose between the two David was gonna win.

I had been checking on David from time to time and as soon as he began
showing signs of waking up I laid back down with him.  He was on his left
side which was the other side from his surgery.  I got behind him and
spooned him, draping my right arm lightly over his chest; as soon as he
felt me he took hold of my arm and settled in closer to me.  I cupped his
face in my right hand, he pressed his butt back against my cock.  I brushed
his lips lightly with my thumb and when he parted his lips I slid it into
his mouth.  He made a little "hmmm" sound and settled in to sucking on my
thumb.  I was licking the back of his neck while he was sucking on my thumb
and grinding his butt back into my cock.

I pulled my thumb out of David's mouth and gently rolled him over onto his
back then rolled on my back and got rid of my boxers.  I stood up and
straddled David's head while he looked up at me and kind of half smiled.  I
dropped down till my knees were on either side of his head and put the head
of my cock at David's lips.  He opened his mouth and I slid my dick in; he
made a David sound and started to reach for his own cock but I grabbed his
hand.  I looked down at him.  "In a minute you can go on the platform but
just suck for a while."  He got kind of a wild look in his eyes and started
sucking hard on my cock as I thrust it slowly in and out of his mouth.  I
didn't want David lifting up his head to suck because it might have put a
strain on his abs so I held his head in place and did most of the work
myself.  I knew that I could shoot anytime that I let myself.  After a few
minutes I looked down at David and said.  "I'm going to shoot in your
mouth."  I ran my fingers through his hair and smiled at him.  "Are you
ready for it?"  He nodded with my cock in his mouth.  I refocused and felt
my orgasm building.  "Oh fuck!  Oh fuckin yes!  I'm gonna shoot in your
mouth man!  Oh yes!"  As I felt the cum leave my cock and blast into
David's mouth he was breathing heavily underneath me and then he made a
loud whimpering gasping sound.  My orgasm seemed to go on forever but when
it stopped I pulled my cock slowly out of David's mouth.  He was breathing
hard almost gasping for air.  I slid down and wrapped my arms around him
and kissed him, sliding my tongue into his mouth and tasted my own cum.

I looked into his eyes, he was settling down now.  "Was that okay?  I mean
we never really did that before."  His eyes were flashing like electric
storms.

"Fuck yes!  God did you shoot!  I didn't think I was gonna be able to take
all.  I came in my fucking shorts!  I didn't even touch myself!  That was
fucking fantastic!"

I looked at his boxers.  They were totally soaked and the smell of cum was
heavy in the air.  I looked back at David.  He was as excited as a little
boy and I had to laugh.  "God I fucking love you!"  I kissed him again and
explored even deeper with my tongue.  I wrapped my arm around his head and
held him very close to me.

"Mark?"

"That's me"

"That was wonderful."

"For me too."

We took a shower together and then, dressed in shorts and tee shirts,
decided to take a walk down by the stream.  It was about 3:30 in the
afternoon and the sun was very hot but down by the stream the overhanging
trees created a coolness broken only by small spots of intense heat where
the sun had made it through the trees.  Generations of fisherman had
created a pathway along the stream the seemed to go on for miles; at least
I had never come to the end of it.  David and I walked along the path just
talking and enjoying each others company stopping occasionally to try and
catch frogs and splash water at each other.

I figured that David needed to get some exercise and this seemed as good a
way as any, maybe most of all because he wouldn't think of it as exercise.
We had a great time.  David has an infectious personality and a wonderful
sense of humor and when he's telling a story he becomes very animated and
those green eyes dance.

David saw a school of baby catfish, it looked to be hundreds, and we
squatted by the water watching them moving back and forth near the shore.
I couldn't take my eyes off of him, the pleasure he was getting from this
simple thing, his eyes crinkled up with the joy of it.  I put my hand on
the back of his neck and drew him into a kiss.  He smelled of soap and
toothpaste and David.  There was a bit of a questioning look on his face,
like why do you want to kiss me now but it turned into a smile as our lips
came closer and he seemed to realize that it didn't matter.  Kissing David
and feeling our tongues coming together is an incredibly erotic thing for
me, he closes his eyes and becomes lost in the kiss, as do I.  The feel of
the hair on the back of his head as I hold it and his hands on my back and
shoulder as he steadies himself the warmth he radiates are electric to me.

It's time to head for home and we reverse ourselves and head back but still
using any excuse to touch and none at all.  My eyes drink him in, an
unquenchable thirst, I want to spend every second looking at him, loving
him.

At home we start fixing dinner as the evening begins.  We move separately
yet together as we seem incapable of staying apart for more than a few
seconds.  Touching elbows, a hand on the back, a hug.

David collects old oil lamps and we have retrieved them from the other
house so we eat by the soft glow of ancient lamps while the warm summer
evening blows softly in through the open windows, billowing the drapes.

Later we lay on the sofa nose to nose and talk about the last few days and
the rest of our lifes, kissing lightly and deeply our crotches pressed hot
together.  I sat up and took the waist of his shorts in my hands and pealed
them off tossing them to the floor.  David is naked now from the waist
down.  I lift his left leg and bend it so I have easy access to his ass.
So far I haven't told him what I'm doing and he hasn't asked, he's very
hard but I don't touch his dick.  I stick the middle finger of my left hand
to his mouth and say.  "Suck it."  He knows what's coming and gets it very
wet and after a while I take it out of his mouth and use the finger to make
circles around his asshole.  Finally my finger enters him and he starts
making soft David sounds and he's holding onto me very tightly while
thrusting his hips against me.  He hasn't had anything in his ass for a
while and he's very tight.  I add a second finger and kiss him hard.  I'm
slowly pistoning in and out of him going a little deeper each time.
David's head is rolling back and forth and his eyes are unfocused.  When I
think that he's finally open enough I take his left leg and move it to my
right shoulder and then move his right leg to my other shoulder.  Once I
get myself positioned I roll a condom onto my cock and take a handful of
spit and rub it on David's asshole.  He's looking at me with a totally wild
look in his eyes.  I push his knees to his chest and begin pushing my cock
into him.  The spit isn't nearly enough lube and I know it.  There's a
small vial of lube hidden in the cushions if it's needed but I hoping I can
get by without it.  My cock is moving very slowly into David's asshole and
he's going wild with the pain of it and the thrill of it.  After about four
inches David is bucking his ass wildly and with a yell he begins shooting.
The first shot hits the side of his face and begins running down.  The
following shots cover David's chest.  I take my hand and scoop up a handful
of it and pull my cock slowly out of his ass.  He says, "No!  No God!  No!
Fuck me!"  His head is tilted up and he's starring at my cock.

I look down at him.  "I'm gonna use your cum for lube."

He shouts.  "Oh fuck.  Oh fuck yes!

I stroke my dick, totally coating it in David's cum and then sink my shaft
all the way into his ass.  David is going nuts and I'm doing my best to
hold him in place more from a fear that he may hurt himself than anything
else.

I begin pile driving into him, I can hear my balls slapping loudly against
his ass.  He's whipping his head back and forth and beating his cock
savagely.  When I think he's close I lean into him and say.  "I'm gonna
shoot up your ass David.  I'm cumin right now."  David is screaming, "Yeah,
yeah, yeah!"  And then he's shooting for the second time coating his chest
again.  I'm only seconds behind and I cum as hard as I can ever remember
cumming, filling the condom in David's ass.  I continue to pump slowly as
we both come down from the high.

My cock is softening and I pull it very slowly from David's ass.  I pull
off the condom and wipe my cock with my tee shirt.  I wipe off David's
chest and face and then lift his legs and wipe the lube off his butt.  He
looks at me oddly.  I finally lay down next to him and rest my head on his
chest.

David strokes my hair.  I say, "You know I love you more than anything?"

"Yeah," he says, "I do."

I say, "Just for the record, look at the clock."  It reads half past
midnight.  I lift my head up and look at David, he's smiling.  I kiss him
and say, "Let's go to bed."

After David gets into bed I get in and wrap my arms around him, we kiss
deeply and for a very long time.  I resent every moment that is used for
something other than loving David, every moment that isn't spent kissing
him, smelling him, touching him but we have to sleep and eventually we do,
he wrapped securely in my arms his black hair askew as it always is and his
electric eyes silent.

The next day was the fourth of July and our little town celebrated with a
huge bar-b-que, street fair and then later in the evening the fireworks
display.  David and I hit the town about noon, wandering through the street
fair and pigging out at the bar-b-que.  At about six o'clock we went home
to clean up and relax a bit before going to the fireworks display.

David and I showered together and ended up sixty-nining on the floor of the
shower along with a lot of laughing and kissing.  We ended up drying each
other off and then laying down for a nap before going out.  We were laying
naked on the bed.  David had fallen asleep on his stomach and I was
starring at his ass.  As I've said before David has the best looking butt
I've ever seen, muscular without overdoing it and an absolutely perfect
shape, it's creamy white and totally hairless.  David has black hair on his
arms and legs and a bit on his chest but none whatever on his ass.  I
really want to touch it, to play but he's had a busy day and more to come
and besides he still is recovering so I just lay there, my head propped on
my hand, starring at it.  Finally I lay back down and look at David's face
which is turned toward me, he makes a little sound and moves his mouth, it
makes me smile and I lean over and kiss him lightly then I fall asleep.

The fireworks display is being held at the park on the outskirts of town.
In one part of the park the land slopes down and forms a huge bowl shape
the rim of which is surrounded with fairly thick foliage and people are
sitting all around this area waiting for the show to begin.  The high
school band is playing in the distance and the whole town seems to be out
for the display.

David and I grab a couple of beers and find a fairly secluded spot to wait
for the fireworks.  There are other people in our general area but none
closer than twenty feet and everyone is watching what's going on down on
the field.  It is very nearly dark now and the folks putting on the display
are doing the final preparations.  David sits between my legs and leans
back against my chest, my arms are around him and my chin is on his
shoulder and I'm constantly kissing his neck while he squirms and gasps.

The fireworks were great but I notice that the couple way off to our left
seem to have noticed us even with the darkness so we decide it's probably
just easier to leave.

On the way home in the car David and I have a conversation that I've been
thinking about for a while now.

"David we've never talked about this before but, well, I wanted to ask you
about condoms.  I mean like I told you before you're the first guy I've
ever had sex with and it was two years before that that I had sex with a
woman and even then I wore a condom."  David is giving me a kind of "what's
the big deal" look.

"Well Mark I'm negative, they tested me in the hospital.  So if you don't
want to wear them then don't.  If your asking me what I would prefer I say
forget the fucking things."

"David you're sure?"

"Yeah, I mean you always have to make sure you have one and it's a big
pain.  Forget it.  Besides I'd like to actually feel you inside me.  You
know," he turned to look at me, "the thought of it makes me kinda hot."

I laughed.  "David everything makes you hot."

"No the whole idea of your cum inside of me, your cum a part of me."

I am a naturally aggressive guy, I mean an Army Ranger right and now that
I'm a civilian I'm aggressive in business, so being sexually aggressive
with David was not something that I had to work at, it came naturally.  But
it's important to understand that David was and is the most important
person that was ever in my life, next only to my parents but in many ways
beyond them.  It sounds weird but to me David is this little bird that I
hold trembling in my cupped hands, this precious, magical little bird, that
needs to be protected.  So even though I was being more aggressive with
David sexually, everything that I did was measured and thought over,
because the thought of hurting him by accident through thoughtlessness was
enough to make me physically sick.  The thought that I might ever see hurt,
that I caused, in those beautiful eyes was too terrible to think about.

Later back at the house we've both stripped down to our boxers and are
about to lay down on the sofa together and watch the evening news.  I lay
down first and then just as David is about to lay down I tell him to lose
the boxers, he doesn't say anything he's just kind of standing there
watching the TV but he takes off the boxers and tosses them on the coffee
table.  He lays down in front of me and I wrap my right arm under his neck
and then use my right hand to rub his left shoulder.

He asks, "Are you gonna fuck me."  Not should we have sex or should we fuck
but are you gonna fuck me.

I kiss the back of his head and say, "Maybe in a bit."

This seems to suit him and he snuggles down into me using my upper arm as a
pillow.  Then he bends his left leg up towards his chest giving me complete
access to his ass.

After a bit I put a little bit of lube on my finger and start making slow
circles around his asshole, he's still watching the news and just seems to
take this to be normal.  I continue this for five minutes or so and then
start to slowly penetrate him with my finger.

The only sound he makes is, "mmmm, mmmm."

Another ten minutes or so and I remove my finger and place the head of my
cock at his asshole.  It rests there for a minute with barely any pressure
at all and then I begin slowly pushing my cock into David.  His ass is
lubed but just barely and my cock is moving in very slowly.  He has begun
making the David sound very softly.  Finally my cock is completely in him
and I just let it rest there for several minutes.  Eventually I start make
very slow very short thrusts and I'm constantly but slowly moving my hands
over David's body.  I roll David over onto his stomach and with his ass
sticking up a bit I straddle his body and climb up onto his ass carrying
all my weight with my legs.  I begin pistoning into David using full fast
strokes and he's moaning very loudly.  After a few minutes of this I'm not
sure how much more David can take and I slowly pull my cock out of him and
roll him over unto his back.  I push his knees to his chest and bury my
cock quickly and all the way into him.  He says, "Oh God, Oh God!"

I'm fucking David very fast and thinking about how much I love him and how
perfect I want these moments to be for him and for the umpteenth time how I
don't deserve him but thank you God, thank you.

David has tried to grab his cock twice and twice I've stopped him.  His
head is whipping back and forth and the sounds he's making are soft and
unintelligible.  I know that the time has come and I say to him, "David I'm
gonna shoot in your ass now!  No condom just my cum filling up your hot
ass!"  He's looking up at me with a wild look in his eyes and he just says
"Oh fuck yes Mark!"  I start to reach for his cock as I feel my orgasm
starting but he starts shooting before I have a chance to touch it.  His
cock is jerking up and down and cum is spraying everywhere.  His first shot
lands in his hair and the rest just go wild, long strands of white cum
looping through the air and landing everywhere.

The next morning I woke up to David sucking on my cock.  He looks up at me
with my cock totally buried in his mouth.  He pulls off of it.

"Morning babe."  I mumble.  "Find something you like?"

Now his head is propped on his hand and he's bouncing the head of my dick
on his chin.  "Mark...do you think I should sell the house?  I mean I
know that we've only been together a short time but...do you think I
should?

I but my hands on his shoulders and say.  "Come up here for a bit."  David
comes up into my arms and lays his head in the crook of my neck.  I wrap my
arms around him loving the smell of him.

"David I don't want to say anything too selfserving here." I'm stroking his
hair lightly.

"Well I just need to know what you think.  What do you mean selfserving?"

"I mean that I want you living with me...us...as a couple.  But that's your
house...I hope not your home but it is your house."  I slide David off my
chest and roll him onto his back then I wrap my arm around him and look
into his eyes.  I can feel the beginning of tears in mine.  "Sell the
fucking house David!  This is your home and I'm your lover and baby that
ain't changing.  I want you here, period.  That house belonged to another
time but we're an "us" now and I'm totally committed to you and... well...
David I want you to be here with me, always."  David uses his thumbs to
wipe my eyes.

"I'll put it on the market today." He pulls me down to him our faces next
to each other.  He's stroking my hair now.  "I'll never leave you Mark."
I'm like totally crying now and David just keeps saying, "I'll never leave
you," while he strokes my hair.

Finally I sit up in bed and wipe my eyes with my palms.  "Wow!  Where the
fuck did that come from?"  I feel really stupid.  David is rubbing my back
I look down at him.  "David you're so fucking able to turn me inside out."
But I feel myself choking up again then I start sobbing and I rollover into
a ball with my head on David's chest and he holds me while I cry.

I must have fallen asleep and I wake around ten o'clock, David isn't in bed
with me and I'm hard as a rock.  I lay there wondering why I was crying
earlier I mean the obvious reason is that I love David and want him with me
but why the crying now.  I know that it's dumb but I have this feeling,
this conditioning, that says people like me aren't suppose to cry and it's
an embarrassing thing for me.  Finally I decide to just say fuck it, I mean
if I can't cry with David then I am a sick fucker.

I can hear David's voice coming from the kitchen and it sounds like he's on
the phone.  I get up and walk naked towards his voice with my hardon
pointing the way.  David is on the phone, obviously with a realtor named
Carol, he's dressed only in cargo shorts.  He looks at my face and then
down at my hardon and starts smiling.  I walk up behind him and wrap my
arms around him and begin kissing his neck.  He's squirming and I tilt his
head up so that I have better access to his neck.  He's beginning to make
little sounds and is trying to cover the phone so that Carol doesn't hear.
I kind of have him pinned to the counter and I reach over him and get a
bottle of vegetable oil.  He looks at me with this odd little worried and
intrigued look and I undo the button on his shorts and let them drop to the
floor.  He's getting hard now and I take some of the oil and start making
circles around his asshole.  When my finger penetrates him he says.  "Oh!"
then, "Oh Carol that's good I'd really appreciate that.  How about if I
stop by later today and sign the papers?"  I start slowly sliding my cock
into David's ass and he bends over and lays his head and arms on the
counter. Then, "Thanks Carol I'll see you in a bit.  Bye hun."  Now he
gives himself over totally to the fuck.  I going into him in long fast
strokes, my knees are bent and spread a bit so that I can get the right
angle, my hands are on David's shoulders.

It occurs to me for some reason that we must look like a couple of dogs
fucking and I think fleetingly that that would make David my bitch but the
thought disgusts me and I push it out of my head.  David isn't my bitch, he
isn't my boyfriend and he isn't my boi, he's a grown man that I love and so
if anything he's my lover and while I'm standing there fucking him like
crazy I decide that if anyone asks that's what I'm going to tell them David
is, my lover.

I'm slamming into David like a fucking wild man and he's moaning and almost
screaming the David sound while rolling his head back and forth on the
counter.  There's a sheen of sweat over both of our bodies and my cock is
moving so fast it's hard to see.  I can feel under my feet the precum that
has been running out of David's cock and I reach forward and let it flow
into my hand being careful not to touch his cock too much.  When I've got a
handful I take it and rub it all over David's chest.  He makes a gasping
sound and at that moment I grab his cock and it starts shooting as I
release my own orgasm which gets pumped up David's ass.  I'm gently fucking
now while the rest of my cum is flowing into his butt and David is coming
down from the high, his body still being hit with aftershocks.  I can feel
his legs getting wobbly and wrap my arms around him to make sure he doesn't
fall.

"Oh fuck!  Man you should get a fucking patent on that!  Oh wow!"  David is
gasping for breath and leaning against me, my cock slipping out of him.
"You know that I can feel you cum!  Fuck you cum so hard that I can feel it
hitting my insides!"  He turns in my arms and wraps his arms around my
neck.  I wrap my arms around him, his waist is so tiny and his ass is so
perfect.  I can feel some of my cum by his butt.

I push him far enough away so that I can kiss him.  I hold his head in both
of my hands and push my tongue deep into his mouth and then suck his into
mine.  Then I pull him hard to me holding him very tight.  I hold him there
so long that he's beginning to wonder why.

"Mark.  Baby are you okay?"

I hold him away from me.  "You bet David, I'm great."  Then.  "Wanna take a
shower."

He says yes and we walk together to the bathroom, my arm around his neck
and pulling him in for a kiss every few feet.  Finally he pulls away from
me and looks at me.

"So I guess this means that you like me."  David asks with a smile.

"Damn right you handsome little fucker!"

An hour or so later and we were driving in to town, this only took ten
minutes or so and it wasn't long before we had pulled into a small strip
mall that as it happens contained both places that we needed to go,
Walgreens and the real estate office.

Just as we had gotten out of the car we heard this loud voice calling.

"David!  David honey!"  There was a really large woman with blondish gray
hair bearing down on us or rather on David.  "Oh honey have I missed you!"
David's head was buried in the woman's huge cleavage.  "Honey are you all
healed after all that crap?  I mean really you can tell me."

"Allie damn it's wonderful to see you!"  David had managed to get his head
far enough away to breath.

Allie turned to me while still holding on to David.  "Honey you must be my
David's boyfriend."  She held out a pudgy hand to me which I held for a
second.  "Damn David you sure got a cute one, big too."  She squeezed David
again and laughed.  "Bigger is better isn't it sweetie.  You don't have to
tell me.  Believe me I know how it works."

By this time both David and I are blushing totally.

Allie looked me over from head to foot.  "Damn honey if I was thirty years
younger you wouldn't make it out of the damn parking lot."

"Allie," David says, "please!  I just got him to eat oats outta my hand and
I don't want him running off."  David winks at me from Allie's cleavage.

"David honey by the look in this studs eyes you couldn't chase him away
with a stick."  Then she kisses David on the forehead.  "Honey Fred is
waiting for me in the car and he gets really nuts if I keep him waiting."
She looks at David again.  "You take care of yourself sweetheart."  She
gives me a quick wave.

"I will Allie, nice seeing you and I'll see you at work Monday.

Allie is already starting to walk away but she turns.  "Oh?  Oh right
honey.  I guess I'll see you then."  Allie trundles off apparently in the
direction of Fred.

I wondered if David has caught the undertone.

I head into Walgreens and David walks down to the real estate office.

During the ride home it struck me that we had really been on a honeymoon
and it was going to end Monday.  David would be going back to work and
while I had never really stopped working I had sure eased off.  Well that
was coming to a screeching halt next week.  I had six customers to call on
Monday and my boss was coming out to visit on Tuesday and the rest of the
week was going to be just as busy.  I still hadn't told David that we were
pretty much expected to have my boss over for dinner on Tuesday.  I had a
feeling that I was gonna get yelled at.

During the next few weeks David and I move everything that really means
anything to him from his house to mine or ours as it really had become.  He
couldn't seem to bring himself to go over to that house by himself and
although he never really asked me to go with him it wasn't lost on me that
he wouldn't go unless I was going to go with him.

Monday morning I woke up and David wasn't in my arms.  The clock said 6:30
and I swung my legs outta bed and started looking for him.  He was running
around the kitchen, fixing coffee, toasting toast, frying eggs.  I grabbed
him and hugged him from behind.

"Are you nervous about going back?

He turned in my arms.  "I guess a bit.  Everything is so different now.  I
mean before, my job was my life or at least pretty much my life.  Now
you're my life.  I mean I enjoy what I do but," he laid his head on my
chest, "back then I didn't really know what life could be."

I kissed him.  "Me too.  But baby remember, no matter what happens today or
tomorrow or next month, you're not alone.  Whatever happens from now on it
doesn't happen to just you or me it happens to us and at the end of the day
we've got each other.  You've got your cell phone if anything bad happens
just call me and I'll come and beatem up."  David smiled.

I remembered my own appointments and took off to get my shower taken.
After I was showered and shaved I walked in to the kitchen in my boxers and
David was standing there all dressed.  He was beautiful.  He was wearing a
lightweight navy blue suit, white shirt with and a burgundy and green tie.
The green in the tie really made his eyes crackle.

"Wow," I said, "you look fucking great."

He looked at me shyly.  "Thanks"

"How much time do you have?"

"I have leave in about ten minutes.  I'll be a little early but there's
probably stuff to catch up on."

I walked over to him and pushed him back gently to the counter, then I
kissed him and while I was doing that I was opening his pants.  He was
trying to object but my tongue was down his throat.  I dropped to my knees
and pulled his cock out of his pants and started sucking on it before he
could say much.  He was hard in a few seconds and I he was cumming in my
mouth in about a minute.

I kissed him again and zipped up his pants.  "Now maybe you won't be so
tense."  He started to say something and then stopped and then said, "Fuck
man I gotta go."  He kissed me goodbye and left.  I walked into the bedroom
and finished dressing and then wandered off into the living room and saw
one of David's shirts laying on the floor.  I picked it up off of the floor
and brought it to my nose, the shirt smelled of him and I inhaled it
deeply.  I laid down on the sofa and cradled his shirt against me the smell
of David overwhelming me with a desire for him.

My day was totally filled with business and while I did try to keep in
touch with David by cell phone it wasn't until about six o'clock that I was
able to head for home.  I called David and told him that I'd see him in
about a half hour, he sounded tired.

When I finally walked into the kitchen David was leaning against the
counter wearing a pair of shorts and a tee shirt.  He was sipping a glass
of wine.  I threw my suit coat over one of the chairs and walked over to
David and wrapped him in my arms my face buried in his neck.  I pulled my
head away and kissed him.

"God I missed you today!"  I was holding his head with one hand and running
the fingers of my other hand through his hair.

He turned his head slightly and kissed my palm.  Then he looked into my
eyes.  "I thought I'd go nuts with needing you."  He wrapped his arms
around my waist and laid his head on my chest.  "I made salads."  I looked
and saw them on the table along with another glass of wine.

"Handsome and talented too."  I was rubbing his back.  "Is the other glass
of wine for me or do you have some hot stud coming over?"

"Nope babe, no hot studs.  I don't have the energy."  He smiled up at me.
"If you're gonna take your shower why don't you take the wine with you and
I'll get you some clean shorts to wear.  I washed clothes when I got home.

"Sounds good."  I started walking towards the bedroom.  "So how was your
day?"

"It was okay."  He sounded tentative.  "McAllister, he's the president was
kinda, well I dunno, maybe distant is the best word."  David was sitting on
the john as I stripped down for my shower.  When I slipped off my boxers
David reached over and cupped my cock and balls.  It didn't feel
necessarily sexual and I didn't get hard.

"Geez your big!  I actually felt embarrassed.

"David come on, this isn't the first time you've seen it and there's lots
of guys bigger."  He let it go.

"Not that I've ever seen."  I took a sip of the wine and stepped into the
shower.  David had a way of coming up with these out of left field
comments.

"David, I've got something to tell you and I don't want you to get mad.  I
mean I've been kinda putting this off for the last few days."

His head was in the shower instantly.  "What?  Oh fuck, is this gonna be
something really terrible?  I quickly rinsed off and turned off the shower.

"I invited my boss to dinner tomorrow."  I felt like ducking.

"Oh fuck!  You had me scared."  He smiled at me.  "You were afraid that I'd
be mad?

"Yeah, well mostly cause I put off telling you and cause it's like my boss
and all.  I thought you'd be pissed at me."

David was looking very selfsatisfied.  "That's so kewl!"  He wrapped his
arms around my neck and kissed me.  I didn't have a clue what he was
thinking.

"How is that kewl?"  I was drying myself off and then stepping into my
shorts.

"It's kewl that you cared."  He looked at me quizzically.  "You don't see
that?"

"Well...I guess.  You mean you're happy cause I was worried that I'd
fucked up and that you'd be pissed and the fact that I was worried meant
that I cared?

"Yep.  Don't worry about it sweetheart.  You did good.  Come on I'll feed
ya."

We took our salads and wine out onto the patio and threw some steaks on the
grill.  The potatoes were already there.

I sat on one of the chairs on the patio while David was putting the steaks
on.  When he was finished he went to sit in the chair next to me but I
grabbed his hand and pulled him onto my lap.

He straddled my lap facing me with his chin on my shoulder.  I had my arms
around him.  "I'm suffering from a serious David shortage."  I whispered in
his ear and then kissed his neck.  "God I love holding you."  I backed off
a bit and lifted up his tee shirt to look at his incision.  "That's looking
good.  Thank god."

David was looking into my eyes with his own green eyes working at full
blast.  "What's your bosses name?"

"Frank Connelly.  You'll like him, I think."  David had a little five
o'clock shadow going and it was kind of turning me on.  He always looks so
hot.

"It sounds like you like him."

I laughed.  "Yeah, I guess I do.  He's really been pretty kind to me.  When
he was interviewing me for the job and found out that I had been an Army
Ranger his attitude towards me changed.  He had been a marine and even
though he's in his late fifties it still shows and somehow we kind of
connected."  I pulled David's head down for a kiss and then rubbed his
back.  "I lot of people aren't aware of it but Frank has a masters from
Wharton.  I mean he can seem kinda gruff but he also speaks French and
German fluently, the guy is no dummy.  His wife Marcy is an incredibly
beautiful woman for someone in their fifties and supposedly she comes from
a very wealthy family.  It's weird, when I see him at corporate he's like
this very polished guy but when he and I are alone he reverts to being a
marine.  Yeah, I like him.  I think I understand him."

I look into David's eyes.  "God I missed you today!  I held him tight and
touched my forehead to his chest.  "It's almost like physical pain being
separated from you."

David lifted my head up and kissed me deeply.  "The only thing that kept me
going today was the thought of this moment."  He kissed me again.  "I'm
totally yours Mark, I can't imagine it any other way."

"You gonna be able to deal with Frank coming here?

"Oh hell yes.  Can we cook him a steak on the grill or does it have to be
something fancy?"

"No steak is good.  I'll stop and get some tomorrow and scotch, he likes
scotch."

"Does he know about us?"

"Well, maybe."

"Maybe?"

"Well I told him that I had a roommate."  I looked up a David a little
sheepishly.  "But I'll explain it to him tomorrow before he gets here."

David put his hands on my shoulders.  "Mark, however you need to play it.
If you don't think he can deal with it, then don't tell him."

I looked directly into David's eyes.  "No babe, I'm telling him tomorrow.
If they can deal with it that's great, if not they can go fuck themselves."

David and I ate dinner and then laid together on the chaise lounge that was
on the patio.  We were both starved for each other and we ended the evening
with a gentle fuck that took a very long time and left both of us
exhausted.  Being able to fuck David without a condom really made a huge
difference, I mean it's probably not for everyone but it added a whole new
level to intimacy.  When we finally crawled into bed and I wrapped David in
my arms the feeling was so right, so totally perfect that he and I should
be together, it felt like we were blessed, like even the angels would
approve.

Frank arrived about six o'clock the next evening.  One thing that I didn't
tell David was how unusual it was that the Vice President of Sales would be
visiting a fairly minor sale rep in a backwater of Wisconsin.  Our
corporate offices may have been located in Milwaukee but the business we
did in the state compared to say Illinois was miniscule.  Part of the
reason might have been that Frank liked me but there had to be more to it
than that.

Frank pulled up in a silver 700 Series BMW, I walked out to meet him, as
usual he was impeccably dressed.  For a big guy Frank was always dressed to
the nines, I found out later that every stitch he had on was made to
measure in England but because of his ever increasing bulk the expensive
fabric was always being tortured.

"Frank, how the fuck are you?"  I extended my hand as I approached him.

"Marky!  Hey kid could have found some place to live that was maybe even
farther off the beaten path?"  Frank gave me a warm handshake that hinted
at what his grip must have at one time been.  He shoved both hands in his
pockets and seemed to be appraising everything.

"Peaceful Frank, it's peaceful."

Frank looked around.  "Well Marky it does appear to be fucking that."

"Frank, before we go in there's something that I want you to know."

"Can't it fucking wait until, you've poured me a scotch and I've met your
boyfriend."  Frank had a very selfsatisfied smile on his face.

"How the fuck did you know about that?"

"Oh Marky I've known about scotch for a very long time."

"Frank!"

"Well...I've known that you were gay since I first interviewed you."  He
smiled up at me.  "The Mark Chauvet that I hired was not the happiest guy
on the planet."  We were walking slowly toward the house.  "Then a few
weeks ago I find myself talking to this totally happy guy.  Even that
dumbass buyer at General Instrument calls me to ask why you're so fucking
happy."  Fuck it's hot.  I gotta take this jacket off.  Frank peels off the
jacket and takes off his tie and stuffs it into his pocket, his stomach now
well over his belt.  "Well Mark, then I make a few discreet inquiries and
bingo my Marky is in love."

I'm slowly shaking my head.  "Frank you're something else.  So does this
bother you?  I mean make you uncomfortable?"

"Mark do you want me to fucking beg for scotch?"

"Okay, come on.  We'll get your scotch.  You know you drink too much."

Frank followed me into the house.  "Marky you won't think so in thirty
years or so."

David was standing by the stove in Dockers and a light shirt, stirring
something.  Frank walked towards him with his hand extended.

"You must be David.  My name is Frank Connelly and to the extend that your
Mark has a boss I guess that I'm him."  The two men shook hands both
exuding charm and sizing each other up.

"Frank," David said, "we weren't sure what scotch you liked but I figured
Black Label was a safe bet and I think that I'll join you.  Mark!  Scotch,
beer or wine?"  David was bringing out glasses and ice.  Then he looked at
the coat over Frank's arm.  "Frank let me take your coat.  I've got a
wooden hanger in the closet.  David hefted the jacket and then looked it
over.  He looked at Frank and smiled.  "Beautiful coat, England?"

I was starring at David probably with my mouth open.

"You're right David I did have it made in England and the Black Label will
be just fine."  Frank gave me a look that said "god you're a dumb fuck."

I started to say something and then couldn't remember what it was.

David hung up the jacket quickly and started pouring the scotch.  "Mark?"
He held up the bottle.  "Want some?"

"Oh, no, no...I guess I'll have a beer."  I suddenly felt very clumsy.

David handed Frank and me our drinks and then smoothly moved us out onto
the patio telling Frank that it was cooler out there and more comfortable.
Then he and Frank talked for fifteen minutes about our company and how it
was doing.  I guess that I was dumbfounded by David's knowledge, he had
obviously done his homework but it didn't sound that way.  It sounded like
he had this conversation every day of his life.  Even Frank looked
impressed.  David was so fucking smooth, so at ease, it made me wonder what
else I had missed.

David had just poured Frank and himself a refill and Frank held up his
glass.

"A toast!"  Frank looked slowly at both of us.  "May you guys always be as
happy as Marcy and I have been."

I was touched and it must have shown.  Frank looked at me and smiled in a
rather fatherly way.

"Mark something that I don't think you know is that my grandson Christopher
is gay.  He's in his second year at Stanford.  I'm going out to see him
next month."  He looked down at the table for a while and then raised his
head and looked at us.  "My asshole son has virtually disowned him and I
want to let him know that not everyone in the family is fucking nuts."

David and I both sat forward in our chairs.  "Frank...if there's
anything that we can do."

"Thanks Mark.  I think everything is okay, at least for the moment.  I try
and call Chris every few days and we're getting to the point where he's
actually beginning to tell me what he's thinking."  He looked at both of us
in turn.  "What I want for him is what you guys seem to have.  I'll feel a
lot more comfortable when Chris is in a relationship, a nice stable
relationship.  Anyway that's what I want to do, the direction I want to
push him in."

David looked directly at Frank.  "Sometimes Frank a gay guy needs to talk
to another gay guy.  Now I'm sure without even looking that Stanford has a
bunch of gay organizations and probably all the counseling in the world but
if he ever needs to talk to an older gay guy I'd be happy to talk to him,
about anything.

"I appreciate it fellas and I will mention it to him.  Did anyone mention
food?"

"Oh fuck," David said, "I fucking forgot about it.  Well everything is done
except the steaks.  It'll only take a minute."  David jumped up and started
throwing the steaks on the hot grill and putting baked potatoes on plates
and generally setting up the meal.

Frank turned to me and said.  "You are one lucky son-of-a-bitch!  Well...
I guess it's not like you don't fucking deserve it."

"I know Frank.  I know.  And I don't fucking deserve him."  Then I
remembered his remark.  "How the fuck did you know that I was gay from my
interview."

Frank laughed out loud.  "Kid it's your training.  You can't fucking lie
for shit and actually you didn't even try to lie.  Whenever I asked you
about women or shit like that you got this weird look on your face and told
the absolute truth.  Marky don't ever go into the spy business."

David had called us to dinner and we were beginning to chow down when Frank
said.  "Marky do you have any fucking clothes that you didn't buy at
J. C. Penney's?

I stopped eating and stared at him.  "Whadya mean?  What's wrong with my
clothes?"

"Mark at the end of this month I want you to call my office and tell my
secretary that I told you to come in to see me before I go to see Chris.
And...I want you to be dressed to impress."  He turned to David with an
exasperated look on his face.  "David you gotta help him out here."

David looked at him.  "What kind of impressive do you want him to be?  I
mean like...Italy or England?"

"England with a touch of the U.S."

"No problem I'll take him in at the end of the week."  I was beginning to
feel like I wasn't there.

"Just what the fuck is the matter with my clothes?"  They both looked at me
like I was three.

David asked.  "Is this a permanent look?  I mean does he need a whole
wardrobe?"

"Yes very possibly if everything goes as I think it might."  He turned to
look at me.  "There may be changes coming.  I should know by then."  Then
he looked like something just dawned on him.  "Do you have any money, I
mean you can afford to buy the clothes can't you?"

"Well yeah.  I mean how much will this cost?  I've got twenty-two thousand
in my checking account."

Frank and David both yelled together.  "Twenty-two thousand in your
checking account?"  They were looking at me like I was from another planet.

"Yeah...well...I've been meaning to open a savings account."

Frank looked at David.  David said, "I'll take care of it Frank.  I'm a
banker."  Frank was just shaking his head.

Later that evening we both walked Frank out to his car.  At the last minute
the drivers side window hissed down and Frank stuck his head out.  "Don't
forget the end of the month.  This could be...no will probably be, very
important.  I need you there."

David and I cleaned up the patio and then went in and washed dishes and put
things away.  Finally about ten o'clock we went in to the living room.  I
laid down on the sofa pulling off my tee shirt as I did.  David got
completely naked before following me and snuggling down into my arms, again
using my upper arm as a pillow.

I had in the back of my mind the idea that I might want to get a little bit
even for some of the abuse that had been heaped on me earlier.  Actually I
was thinking in terms of a pretty aggressive fuck, with David as the
recipient.  Not mind you that I would ever hurt him and I did realize that
David and Frank only had my best interests at heart.

When I finally looked down at David I realized that he was crying.  I was
stunned.  I didn't know what had caused this and I was very afraid that it
was something that I had done.  I touched David's hair.  I was totally
lost.

"Oh David.  I...I...didn't mean it.  Baby don't be mad at me."  I
turned his head gently toward me.  "Please David, don't be mad.

"He's gonna offer you that job."  The tears were streaming down his face.
"I heard the way he was talking.  You're getting that job and he'll want
you to move to the city.

I suddenly realized what he was getting at.  I looked down at him.  "God
David!  You know you're gonna fucking kill me."  I looked away.  "When I
see you cry it's...it's like I'm being stabbed in the heart."

David turned his face to the side so that he wasn't looking at me.  I
turned it back.

"David please understand...there is no me...there's only us."  He was
wiggling under me in a way trying not to understand.  I kissed his eyes.
He started to speak and then stopped.  "There is nothing that Frank could
offer me David, there's nothing that anyone could offer me that would make
me leave you."  I was holding his head steady and David was starring at me.
"I agree that it sounds like Frank has got some job in mind.  But David, he
can only offer, then it's up to you and me.  Yes you little fucker.  You
and me.  Nothing David, no power on this earth is getting me to leave you.
If Frank offers then we'll decide.  But David, "we" will decide.  Not me
and not even you, we."  I kissed David hard and after a while he kissed me
back.

"I'm sorry Mark.  I guess that I get to feeling insecure."  David was
wiping the tears from his eyes with the palms of his hands.  "I just
panicked, I wasn't thinking."  He looked at me.  "I didn't mean to do
that."  He waved his hand in the air.  "Just pretend that that didn't
happen."

I stepped over David and stood up and then leaned down and lifted him off
of the sofa.

"Wait Mark!  Don't drop me."  He was trying to look down to see where the
floor was.

I held David in my arm and kissed him.  "Let's go to bed."  I walked into
the bedroom carrying David.  He was beginning to smile.

While we were walking I said.  "Now what is this shit about my clothes?"  I
laid David down on our bed and laid down on top of him in between his legs
supporting the bulk of my weight with my elbows.

"Mark," David was lightly poking my chest with his finger.  "you're a 46
long with a 36 inch waist.  That's a 10 inch drop.  The drop is your waist
size subtracted from your chest size.  A standard drop is 6 inches and when
you get to a drop like you have nothing fits as well as it should."  David
was still lightly tapping my chest.  "So what we need to do is take you
shopping to somewhere where they know how to deal with that.  The place I
shop in Madison will be able to handle it.  They have some suits that are
heavily tailorable practically made to measure."

David kept talking and I put an expression on my face like I was interested
but actually I just wanted to hear the sound of his voice and watch him
talk.  I really didn't give a fuck, if he and Frank wanted me to buy this
crap then I would but right now I just wanted David to talk to me.  He's so
beautiful and when he's talking about something he likes his eyes just
dance and I get to stare at him without having to explain why and stroke
his hair cause he doesn't seem to notice it.  So he could have been telling
me I was gonna have to castrate gorilla's and it wouldn't have mattered, I
just kept nodding.  Eventually I lowered my head to his chest and he just
kept talking, it was wonderful, I could listen to his heart beating and his
breathing and I had him in my arms.

I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up it was morning and I had
one arm across David's chest but I had him pushed all the way over to the
edge of the bed.  I looked at the clock and it said 6:23, another seven
minutes until the alarm went off.  Why was it we never seemed to have time
to fuck any more.  Even if I woke David now there still wouldn't be time
enough for much of anything.  I pulled him to me knowing that I probably
would wake him but it didn't seem to make much difference since he had to
get up in seven minutes anyway.  He made kind of a mumbling sound but
didn't resist and soon I had my arms around him.  I decided that we would
need to talk about this and somehow make time for us.

That afternoon David and I went to Madison to the place where he buyes his
clothes.  Before we went in he told me to give him my credit card and not
to look at the prices.  I said.  "You're kidding right?"

"Mark the way I see this is that Frank is going to make something happen
and he needs you to look good and the only way to really do that quickly is
my way.  Now if you start looking at prices it isn't going to make it any
cheaper and it's just going to hurt more.  Now I'm asking you to trust me
and just go along with whatever I say.  Will you do that?"

Well the way that I saw it was that I was screwed no matter what I did so I
just handed David my VISA and thought.  Fuck it!

Twenty-two hundred dollars later I felt dazed.  That by the way represented
only three suits, two pairs of shoes some shirts, ties and belts.  David
looked satisfied.  He said we had made a good start.  Oh fuck!

When we got home we did get the good news that David's house had sold and
at the price he had asked.  He was suppose to meet the buyers at the bank
the next day.  The people who bought David's house were incredibly nice
people, it turned out that they raised dogs, Weimaraner's, and the cyclone
fencing around the property was perfect for them.  Joe and Eileen
Oberhoffer were their names and we became friends instantly.  David and I
walked over there after they got moved in and David went nuts for the
puppies.  He was laying down with them, covered in puppies.

God he looked beautiful!  That black hair, again askew and those green eyes
flashing.  David was dressed in jeans and that thirty inch waist and cute
little butt made him look unbelievably sexy and being covered in puppies,
well that didn't hurt either.  I any event the Oberhoffer's became good
friends of ours.  Our being gay seemed to be taken by them to be a given
and apparently made no difference whatsoever and they added a lot to the
remainder of the summer, sharing many a cookout with us.

A few days later David and I went and picked up my new clothes and as much
as I hate, and I do mean hate, to admit it, they did look great.  The end
of the month and the end of the summer were pretty close to being at hand
and I called Frank's secretary and made an appointment.  Gloria, Frank's
secretary, was even nicer than usual and the feeling that I was getting was
that some sort of new job was in the offing.  I decided that it was time
for David and I to have a talk.

I waited until after dinner and then pulled him down with me unto the sofa,
fully clothed.  I was lying on my back and David was straddling my hips.

"Okay baby, talk to me.  What do you think about this whole Frank thing."
I was rubbing his thighs.

"It scares me."  He held up his hand.  "No wait...I mean while the whole
idea of uncertainty is scary...well this is gonna happen no matter what
we think."

I brushed his hair out of his eyes.  "You said yourself that they've never
really treated you the same at the bank and David with your degree you can
get a job anywhere."

"I know.  God your dick feels big!"

I took both his hands in mine.  "No dick talk!  David we have to decide
this."  I was trying to sound severe because I didn't want the conversation
to deteriorate but I still had to smile.

"I know."  David said in an exasperated voice and then laid his head on my
chest.  "There's this huge part of me that doesn't want one fucking thing
to change and this other more realistic part of me that knows it has to."
He mumbled into my chest.  "God you feel good."  He moved up on me a little
and kissed me then laid his head under my chin.

"We, I mean the company, uses this great service that you just call and
they ask you like a million questions and then turn out a resume for you."
I kissed the top of his head.  "Want me to get their number?"

David lifted his head and looked at me.  "Do I get a fuck outta this?"

"You bet baby."

"Mark, this fuck, you wouldn't consider wearing your old uniform...would
you?"

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh David grrrrrrrr!"

As it turned out Frank was right all along.  It's really hard to tell how
much of what happened was engineered by Frank but his fingerprints were all
over it.  Ultimately our company was bought out by a German company and
Frank was made managing director of American operations.  One of the many
parts of the new company, when you include the European operations, was a
manufacturer of tools used to make weaponry and that's where Frank planned
to use me.  I guess that in the three days that I was in Milwaukee I met
with sixty or so executives and engineers from the European subsidiaries.
They wanted a hunk of the U.S. armaments business bad and offered me the
job of Regional Sales Manager for everything west of the Mississippi and as
it happened that included sixty-five percent of the very special business
they were interested in, very special indeed.

David had come with me to Milwaukee and the first day that I got back to
the hotel I told him that I thought it was a deal.  God I was tired

"I know, Frank called me and told me."

"He fucking what?"

David was sitting on my butt rubbing my back.  "Don't get all excited.  He
just called and said it looked like it was going through and I might want
to look for a house."

I grunted.  "And that doesn't seem fucking outta line to you?  I didn't
even know for sure."

"Frank was just trying to keep me involved.  He's a smart guy.  He was
covering his bases."

"Oh fuck!  We have to find a house!  David how the fuck are ever gonna do
all this?"

"Not only a fucking house!  I still need a job you know."  He was digging
his thumbs into the base of my neck.

I looked back at David.  "Shit, you're right.  I totally forgot about that.
Sorry babe."

"Frank is sending a real estate agent over tomorrow.  You're going to be in
meetings all day.  You trust me to pick out a half dozen houses as
finalists and then we can go together to look at them?"

"How do we get a mortgage when we don't even know for sure we're employed.
Oh god, a little lower.  Yeah right there."

"Well I kinda already took care of that, well in a way anyway."

I lifted my head and looked back at David.  "Do I want to know the
details?"

"Uh, probably not."  He leaned over and kissed me.  "Just be glad that I'm
on your side."

I reached back and pulled David down onto the bed and wrapped my arms
around him.  He looked up at me with so much trust.  "I am glad David."  I
kissed him for a very long time while running my fingers through his hair.
I slowly undressed him, the shirt button by button, sucking on his nipples,
the shoes and socks one at a time, massaging his feet, his pants and
underwear together and very quickly.  He was laying on his stomach his
gorgeous ass splayed out beneath me.  I licked my way to it slowly, lightly
biting the mounds of his ass and then spreading them wide with my hands.
David had started making the David sound softly when his pants came off and
it had been getting louder.  He gasped when my tongue started circling into
his asshole.  I spent a lot of time with my face buried there and then
pulled his ass up as a knelt behind him.  The only lube I used was spit and
David was thrashing back and forth his hands twisting the bedspread as I
entered him.

"Oh fuck Mark!  Oh fuck babe!  Ungh, ungh, ungh!"  He was pushing back
against me.

I leaned over David so that my stomach and chest were covering him
completely.  "My cock is in you babe!  You're so tight, so fucking tight!"

"Mark, oh shit!  Bury that fucking dick in me!  Baby you feel so fucking
good in me!"

I climbed up on top of David carrying all my weight on my legs and started
slamming downward into him.  My cock was aimed straight for his prostate,
he was going crazy and his back was covered in sweat.  David was making
little whimpering sounds and I lifted him upright while still fucking him
and started to jerk his cock.  He shot quickly his asshole spasming around
my cock.  It was all I could do not to shoot.  I pulled my cock out of
David's ass and pushed him unto his back.  Then I straddled his chest and
pointed my cock at his mouth.  David frantically opened his mouth as a
began shooting, load after creamy white load being pumped into his mouth.

We were laying next to each other trying to catch our breath.  We turned
and looked at each other and kissed.  I knew the cum that I was tasting was
mine.

"God I love fucking you!"

"Don't ever change!"

I picked up David's hand and kissed it.  "You pick out the house babe.
Whatever you think will be good."

David turned on his side and looked at me.  He laughed a little.

"What?  What's so funny?"

David laughed again.  "If you only knew how good my ass feels."  He put his
hand on my chest.  "I'll get pictures and floor plans then tomorrow night
we can narrow it to say a couple and then if I have to I'll make an offer.
Would you rather have more land, more house or both?"

I pulled David on top of me and kissed him.  "The most important thing for
me is that you like it."

David rolled his eyes.  "God you're so easy."

I was stroking David's hair.  "Shit tomorrow is going to be a bitch of a
day but if you need me call.  You know it's weird how Frank thrives on
this.  You ought to see him, Mr.  Internationalist.  He does it well."
Stroking David's hair was having the usual effect and I gently rolled him
off of me and I got behind him and took him in my arms.  While he was
falling asleep I was worrying, could I do the job, would we find a house,
would David find a job, would he like it here and most important of all,
would he keep loving me.

Moving has got to be like the worst thing ever and we were doing it on what
was so far the worst day of the year and it also happened to be David's
birthday October 29th.  I had been at our old house getting the moving van
on it's way while David was at the new house waiting for the moving van to
arrive there.  He was also waiting for the new furniture we bought to be
delivered and for the furnace guy to come and get that working properly.

After the movers left our old house I had to take off for the city for what
I hoped would be a brief meeting at work.  By the time I and the van left
the snow was coming down at an unbelievable rate and what should have been
a two hour drive became a four hour drive.  I had three birthday presents
for David but so far I hadn't told him about any of them.  I kinda wanted
them to be a surprise.  I had been in touch with David all day using my
cell phone and things were going from bad to worse.  It didn't look like I
was going to even get to the office until something like five o'clock but
they said that the meeting was still on so god only knew what time I'd get
home.  So far twelve inches of snow had fallen and they were predicting
another eight with blizzard conditions.

On top of all of this was David's general mood.  While he had gotten a
great job with and insurance company he hadn't started it yet and he was
nervous about that.  Then there was all the shit attendant to buying a
house and getting it functioning.  The furniture that we had wasn't really
right for the new house so we had bought a lot of new stuff which was
suppose to be delivered today but now who the hell knew.  Basically David
was sitting there with a few lamps and some blankets that he bought.  The
furnace for some fucking reason would not get the house above fifty-five
and while they had promised to come out now all bets were off.  Every time
I talked to David he sounded worse, not that he would ever say anything but
I could hear it in his voice.  Everything regarding the house had fallen on
David's shoulders and the weather was turning everything into a disaster
and on top of that he had to be thinking that his lover had forgotten his
birthday.

It was eight o'clock when I pulled into our driveway which seemed to be
covered with easily a foot of snow.  Thank god for automatic garage door
openers, I was able to pull right into the garage.  I really wasn't sure
what my reception was going to be and I took David's first birthday present
in with me.

David had built a fire in the fireplace and had brought out all the quilts
and pillows he had and created kind of a nest next to the fire.  He looked
so tired and well kind of defeated which is not David at all, nothing ever
defeats him.  I looked around the corner from the kitchen.

"You still talking to me?"

His voice was a hoarse whisper.  "Sure.  It's, " he raised his hand and
then dropped it, "It's just that nothing has worked.  I've tried everything
Mark and nothing works.  We don't even have a bed."  He turned away from
me.

I went over and sat next to him.  I put my hand on the back of his neck.
"It'll be okay.  Honest baby it's gonna be okay.  I got you a birthday
present."  I handed him the large box.

"How did you know it was my birthday?"  He turned away from me again.  I
could tell he was crying.  "I don't know why I'm so down.  I'm sorry you
don't need me to be like this."

I pulled him to me.  He was dressed in gray sweats.  "It's okay to be down
David but tomorrow all of these problems will be gone.  I promise that I'll
make it okay."

David lifted up the blanket.  "Why don't you get under the covers, you'll
get cold."

"I have two more presents for you David, there out in the car, I'll get
them."  I kissed David and walked out to the garage.  I opened the car
door.  "Joe, I hope I did the right thing bringing you here.  I hope he's
ready for you."

I walked back in to David and knelt down in front of him.  "David this is
Joe."  I opened the hunting coat I was wearing and Joe jumped out onto
David's lap.

David came immediately to life.  "Oh wow!  It's a fucking puppy."  He
smiled fully at me and for the first time I saw those emerald eyes
flashing.  The puppy was trying to climb David seeming to use his pink
tongue for propulsion.  "You got this from Joe and Eileen."

"Yep.  You like him then?"  I sat down next to David and watched the two of
them play.

The puppy had turned into a licking machine and was working on David's
face.  I was a little envious.

"I fucking love him!"  David was trying to keep the puppies tongue out of
his own mouth by twisting his head.  "I don't even want to think about how
we're going to take care of him but we'll work it out.  He likes to French
kiss, that's a good sign."

"I like to French kiss too."

David turned to me.  "Oh baby, I've been a total bitch!"  He moved Joe so
that he was cradling him and he had less freedom of movement.  "Kiss me and
tell me that you still love me."

I knelt and took David's face in my hands.  "I still love you."  I said
seriously and kissed him, the puppy wiggling between us.

"Okay buddy, what's the third present?  What, you thought I'd forget?"

"Well okay but...don't freak out... I mean it doesn't have to be like
official or anything...if that makes you uncomfortable."  David looked
confused.

I took out the little blue box.

David said.  "Tiffany's!"

"I wanted something good."

He opened the small blue box.  "They're wedding rings."  David looked a
little shocked.

I took out David's.  "Yours has an inscription."

David looked at me and then took my hand.  "What does it say?"

I moved my lips very close to David's

"For David, my life."
