Chapter Sixteen After one of the smoothest landing he could remember, the plane stopped at a hangar at the far end of the airport. This was the Compass Airlines hangar and Rick saw several other 777 parked here in Compass Airlines livery. They went into the hangar where Sarah said her goodbyes and issued stern orders for Ethan to be at the office by 10am and to be sure he didn't smell like sex. Rick stood and looked at all of these huge airplanes and felt faint at the thought that Ethan owned them. Ethan led Rick over to a Honda Civic that looked to be a few years old. They got inside the car and began to drive off. Ethan explained, "I don't really like living the life of a wealthy man. I splurge on A-1 and I have a nice condo in Pensacola and the BMW". Here I live a regular life and I live on a budget. I am paid a salary from Compass Cruise Lines equivalent to a manager in Human Resources. I live on that salary when I am here. Not many people know of my wealth. You, Sarah, and the Directors at the company know. Other than that, nobody. Not my friends, not my family. I know I can trust you to help me keep it that way". Rick replied, "Oh sure, you take me off a private 777 and then put me into an old car that doesn't have power windows and tell me to keep quiet. What, are you taking me to Denny's now for dinner? Well, I want out. Put me out right now!" Silence filled the car. Rick stayed quiet for as long as he could and then let out a belly laugh. Ethan looked at Rick with a bit of concern. Rick pulled himself together and said, "Ethan, I love you. I love you as an assistant purser, a manager of HR, owner of cruise ships and huge airplanes, but I love you as Ethan. The man. My lover. My soulmate. Now, I'm hungry. I want a quarter pounder with cheese combo meal. I'll pay and you can have one too. You can even super size it. My treat". The guys laughed and Ethan reached over and held Rick's hand. They did go to Mc Donalds and were laughing as they shouted their order into the tiny speaker at the drive through. They got strange looks when they were laughing so hard when they got to the window. Rick asked for extra straws, napkins, and ketchup telling the girl at the window that they needed some for home. They were like two teenagers in love. They drove out I-595 to Plantation and entered a modest looking apartment complex. They parked and went into Ethan's apartment. It looked like a bachelor pad. It was 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, small kitchen, balcony, living room. Very basic furniture that looked like it had been put together over many years. It felt very homey and the place smelled like Ethan. Rick loved it and felt at home. It was getting late and Ethan has his orders to be at the office in the morning. They both wanted a shower. Rick laughed as he saw that the bathroom was fairly small and that the two of them wouldn't be able to get into the shower. So, Rick showered first followed by Ethan. When Ethan entered the bedroom, Rick was lying naked on the bed. Ethan sighed as he saw the sheer beauty of Rick's body. Rick told Ethan to come over so he could properly thank Ethan for the hot time they had had a few hours before on A-1. Rick teased Ethan by kissing his ears, neck, and nipples. He climbed on top of Ethan. He applied some lube and the condom that he had found in the bedside table, and positioned himself above Ethan's throbbing cock. He slowly lowered himself, feeling Ethan enter him and filling him. Rick bent down and kissed Ethan passionately. Ethan began thrusting his hips and soon they had settled into a steady rhythm. Ethan played with Rick's nipples as Rick pushed down on Ethan's cock plunging it deep inside. Ethan couldn't take much more. He began pumping Rick's cock and could feel Rick's ass tighten which caused Ethan to shoot. Rick came at the same time as the two lovers fell together locked in that warm glowing kiss that comes after sex. They fell asleep wrapped together. Chapter Seventeen Ethan woke at 830am. "SHIT", he yelled. He had to shower, eat, and get to the office by 10am or Boss would make his day a living hell. Rick stirred, mumbled and pulled the pillow over his head. As Ethan finished the shower he felt Rick's arms around his waist. "Good morning handsome" Rick whispered into Ethan's ear. "Good morning honey. Sorry I have to run. What are you going to do today?" Ethan asked. "I think I will stay here and watch some TV, go for a run, and I need to make some calls back to Destin. What time do you think you will be home?" Rick asked. "I should be home by 6pm. I think we should plan on flying off to Germany tomorrow. We will be there a few days and then we can fly down to Gran Canaria for a few days before flying back to Mobile and home," Ethan said. "A-1 will be ready and waiting for us". "I am not flying in that heap of junk again," Rick said with a straight face. With that, Ethan grabbed Rick and wrestled him back to the bed. "You spoiled little brat, you will pay for that". "Promises promises. I will hold you to that," Rick managed between laughs. Ethan left in the Honda and arrived in the office at 9:55am to be met by Boss checking her watch. And so his day began. He had several meetings which Boss had carefully planned. She had also told him she didn't want to seem him there past 5pm - no excuses. She said that if he didn't rush home and take care of that gorgeous man waiting for him that she would. Rick went for a great run and spent a couple of hours swimming and lounging by the pool. He finally turned on his cell phone to find he had 2 messages. He felt his mood change. He was very angry that the letters and now the phone calls wouldn't stop. He went back to the apartment to call and put a stop to this. Ethan arrived home at 5:45pm to find Rick sitting on the balcony. Rick didn't move when Ethan entered the apartment. Ethan went out to the balcony to greet his lover. "Hi Ricky, I'm hoooommmmmmme", trying to sound like something off of I Love Lucy. No laugh. He went around to face Rick to see an angry stare with tear streaks on his face. Ethan's heart broke. What could have happened. Why was his love in this state. "Honey, what is the matter, are you ok?" Ethan asked. Rick replied with a choked voice, "I can't go to Germany with you. I have to go back. I have to go to Destin. I love you but I have to go back. Please don't ask me questions. I am sorry that I have done this to you". Ethan felt his world start to crumble. "Honey, whatever is going on we can face it together. Please, tell me what is going on." Rick looked at Ethan and said, "Just remember that I love you and have loved being with you. You have been so kind to me. But I have to go. SuperShuttle will be here soon. I have a ticket on Air Tran to Pensacola that leaves Miami at 8pm tonight. You will be better off without me." Ethan looked and it was now a little after 6pm. He could see the blue van pulling up out front. Rick picked up his bag, looked at Ethan, tried to say something but was overtaken be crying. He turned, and left the apartment. Ethan went back out to the balcony. He watched Rick enter the van, the door close, and the van pulled away. Ethan couldn't believe it. His lover, his soul mate, was leaving. Ethan fell to his knees and sobbed. A gut wrenching sob. Part of him was gone. And he didn't know why.
