The Ballet Dancer
By Adam Stewart

Author's note: A gay love story in which tragedy benefits the less
fortunate and love has its ups and downs..

1.

Jason had everything in life, well almost everything most people dreamed of
having. He came from a wealthy background, had been successful in business,
owned a three bedroom penthouse apartment in Kensington and a five bedroom
country house on the outskirts of Woodcote which was between Reading and
Oxford in an area of natural beauty surrounded by the scenic countryside of
the Chilterns. Like his father, he was a multimillionaire and he was just
twenty-five years of age. But, the one thing he didn't have was love in his
life. He could always get sex when he wanted it but that had to be bought
by hiring escorts; sometimes more than one at a time since he enjoyed
watching others enjoy themselves but he yearned for someone to really love.

He was the only son but did have a younger sister who adored him. She was
now married and had one child with another on the way so had satisfied his
parents' hopes of grandchildren. Jason had known he was gay from an early
age and despite his father wanting him to do all the manly things such as
play football and cricket, both of which Jason couldn't abide, he'd stuck
to what interested him such as ballet, music and the arts. He'd gone to
Oxford and somehow obtained a good degree in business, although quite how
he was never quite sure but it stood him in good stead since he now owned
several successful businesses across a wide range of disciplines.

When he'd told his mother at the age of nineteen that he was gay and
wouldn't be getting married, her response was 'I worked that out years
ago'. He adored his mother and despite his father's disappointment, he got
on reasonably well with him provided the topic never had to be discussed in
detail. His sister on the other hand seemed to love having a gay brother
and frequently wanted to know every minute detail of his sexual conquests.

The problem was he had never met the right man although quite what made up
the 'right man' in his eyes was still not clear in his mind. He just hoped
that one day he'd find him and fall in love.


Jason had been visiting one of his companies on the day things did begin to
change. He'd had a successful meeting and was feeling reasonably happy as
he walked to the car park where he'd parked his car. He was not flashy with
his possessions but liked comfort. He'd recently bought himself a new
Mercedes which he loved. As he turned the corner he saw a homeless guy
clearly being harassed by two youths. He'd seen the homeless guy on
numerous previous occasions and whenever he passed by would slip a few
pound coins into his hand. The guy always thanked him very politely and
smiled at Jason. He looked much the same age as Jason and despite his
ragged clothes had a certain attraction about him. He had good features and
a slim body from what he could see beneath his ragged clothes. Jason often
wondered how he'd become homeless since he didn't look the usual type of
homeless guy, if there was a type. Clearly he'd fallen on bad times so
Jason did his best to ease the pain.

"Hey" Jason shouted at the two youths, "leave him alone and bugger
off". One of the youths turned to face Jason as he reached them. He looked
defiant and for a moment Jason wondered whether he should intervene but
he'd always hated bullies, even at school, so frequently went to help the
underdog.

"What are you gonna do about it if we don't?" the youth goaded.

"Do you value your family jewels?" Jason replied standing his ground.

"Your what?" the youth asked.

"These" Jason replied as he kneed the guy in the groin.

"Fuck" he yelled bending over to relieve the pain that was shooting through
his nuts. Jason pushed him into the other youth who grabbed him and decided
to get away before he received the same treatment.

"Now do as I say and bugger off". The two youths were so shocked at the
ferocity of Jason's instruction that they did precisely that. The homeless
guy looked on in amazement as he crouched on the ground. He was too weak to
fight off the two youths who'd been pushing him around just for the fun of
it since he had nothing to steal.

"Are you okay?" The homeless guy nodded.

"Thanks"

"I thought you normally had a dog with you"

"I did but he died a few days ago". Jason felt sorry for the guy who looked
so vulnerable. He helped him stand up and placed a hand on his
shoulder. The guy was much the same build as Jason and similar to his five
foot ten inch height. He smiled and Jason's heart raced for a moment. There
was something about him that Jason found attractive so he made a decision
without giving it any thought.

"You look as if you could do with a hot shower and a good hot meal; would
you let me help you?" The guy smiled.

"Thank you" he whispered hardly believing that someone wanted to help
him. He'd been living on the streets now for almost two years and wondered
whether his luck would ever change. He'd tried hostels but found them more
frightening than being on the street. He'd come across a stray dog who he
adopted. He became a companion and would snuggle up beside him at
night. They both needed each other so when he found he'd died peacefully
one night he was heartbroken.

"I'm Jason, what's your name?"

Nobody had asked him his name for such a long time that for a moment he
just stood there before answering.

"David"

"Okay David, my car is parked in the car park so would you like to come
home with me"

"Will your wife not mind you taking me home?"

Jason smiled as they walked along. So many people assumed he was married
with the standard two point four children. "I'm not married; not into
women".

"Ah, same with me; I'd better tell you before we go any further that I'm
gay, just in case you want to change your mind". Jason stopped and looked
into David's eyes.

"Same here, so we are two of a kind; still want to come home with me?"
David nodded and grinned. Perhaps his luck was changing after all. The last
time he'd admitted his sexuality he'd been punched but he had no intention
of hiding it whatever the consequences.

When Jason stopped beside the shiny Mercedes David gasped. It was
beautiful. He'd never sat inside a car such as this. Jason opened the door
for him to get in and David paused wondering whether he should sit on the
beautiful cream leather upholstery. "Are you sure about this?" he asked
looking into Jason's green eyes which seemed to sparkle.

"Do you not want to?" David nodded, yes he wanted to alright. Once inside,
he watched Jason move round to the driver's side. He was so confident and
graceful in the way he moved that it reminded him of himself when he'd once
been like that. I've so fucked up my life.

"Okay?" Jason asked as he pressed a button and the engine sprang into life
although it was hardly noticeable since it was so quiet. David sank back
and closed his eyes. It was pure unadulterated luxury. I could so get used
to this given the chance.

They drove in silence for a while and Jason wondered whether David had
fallen asleep but suddenly he opened his eyes. "You took a hell of a risk
you know ".

"In what way?" Jason was surprised at the sudden remark.

"That lout could have pulled a knife on you"

"He would have had a shock if he had done; I'm a black belt in Judo so
would have had him on the ground within seconds; as you saw he was somewhat
disabled after I'd kneed him." David chuckled. He'd enjoyed watching the
guy's face of agony as he held his nuts and he noticed his mate's look of
shock.

"So why are you doing this?"

"Doing what?"

"Helping me"

"Don't you want me to?"

"Of course but just wondered why; most people think the homeless are a
waste of space; I suppose it makes you feel good does it?"

"Not particularly; I just thought you needed help but if you'd rather I
left you alone I can set you down wherever you want"

David said nothing for several minutes. He did want help and he knew he was
being ungrateful. "I'm sorry; living on the streets makes you hard and
untrusting; I appreciate you helping me, thanks."

"No problem; I fully understand"

The rest of the journey was spent in silence. David thinking what an
ungrateful sod he was being and Jason wondering whether he had done the
right thing by offering his help but it seemed the right thing to do at the
time. He knew he could look after himself so that was not a worry and if he
could help a fellow human being in some small way then it was worth doing.

Eventually they were driving into the underground car park where he
lived. He parked the car in his allocated space near the lift that took him
directly to his penthouse apartment on the top floor. David followed him
taking in his surroundings. The place smelt of money. Once inside the lift,
Jason keyed in the code. After a while the door opened onto a small marble
tiled hallway. David followed Jason up to another door and waited whilst he
opened that with a key. David looked down at the expensive looking carpet
inside and paused. Without asking, he slipped off his shoes which were ill
fitting since he'd been given them and were too large for him.

Jason suggested that David have a hot shower first to warm him up apart
from taking away the body odours he'd noticed in the car although he
suspected most of those were due to the grubby clothes David was
wearing. Jason led him into the large bathroom which was a wet room that
had a shower in one corner. David gasped. He'd never seen such opulence in
his life. Everything was shining and looked beautiful. He so loved
beautiful things and soaked in the atmosphere. Jason explained how the
shower worked which automatically came on as you walked beneath it and
stopped again as you moved out of the water flow. The temperature controls
were on the wall nearby and there was a dispenser for shower gel and
another for hair shampoo.

"I'll leave you to it" Jason said as he started to leave.

"No, don't, please don't go" David cried out as if he was afraid of being
left alone. Jason looked at him enquiringly. "I don't mind you staying"
David added with a pleading expression on his face. Jason smiled and walked
back in.

"Okay, if you're quite sure". David nodded and commenced taking off his
overcoat which was also too large for him. His fingers were so stiff from
the cold outside that he had difficulty in unfastening the buttons. Jason
moved up to him and unbuttoned the coat. It was dirty and damp so he
lightly folded it and placed it in a corner. David was wearing a thick
jumper that was full of holes. Jason's heart sank when he realised how
destitute the guy was. He'd seen him almost every time he'd parked his car
and walked to his office for the past year. Each time he'd slipped a few
pound coins into David's hand and he'd smiled his thanks but until he'd
seen him being attacked by the two youths he'd never thought about helping
him. He felt ashamed that he hadn't because the guy clearly needed some
tender loving care.

He helped David slip off the thick jumper and noticed him wince as he
lifted his arms. Those too were stiff with cold and had lost their mobility
that they'd once had. Jason was dying to know how David had come to be
homeless and so destitute but he didn't want to question him just
yet. David just stood there letting Jason undress him. For once in his life
he felt he was in safe hands. Fitted round his waist was a money belt in
which he kept the last remaining items from his former life. There were
photographs of him and his mother, her wedding and engagement rings which
he'd vowed never to sell whatever his situation, identity documents and the
few pence he had left from the money that Jason had given him each time
he'd passed by. Few people had given him anything but he knew if Jason
passed by he'd always give him several pounds which would enable him to get
something to eat and drink. He unfastened the money belt and held onto it
with both hands. He never let it go out of his sight.

He watched Jason unbutton his shirt which was stained since it hadn't been
washed for several weeks, and then carefully slip it off him before it too
joined the pile of clothes in the corner. Jason gasped at the naked torso
that was now standing before him. It was beautiful despite the thinness
because of poor nutrition but that could easily be remedied with time.

Seeing that David wanted him to continue undressing him, he suggested he
sat down on the wicker chair nearby so he could remove his ill fitting
shoes and his socks, which were also full of holes. As he removed them
Jason realised there wasn't a single item worth keeping. Since they were of
similar build and height he was sure he had plenty of clothes he could give
David.

For a moment, Jason remained crouched in front of David looking into his
sad eyes. David smiled and tried to release the leather belt that was round
his trousers but even that was too much for him so he let Jason unfasten it
and pull it out of the loops. That seemed in good condition so Jason put
that to one side. He then helped David slip the trousers down his legs and
off his feet. They too were dirty so joined the ever increasing pile of
clothes that Jason had decided were going straight in the bin. David was
now down to a pair of boxer shorts. They too had seen better days. David
eased them off himself and Jason slipped them off his feet before tossing
them onto the pile in the corner. He helped David stand and silently
gasped. Now he was undressed he could see the full beauty of the guy. Even
with the stiffness in his limbs he moved with grace and reminded Jason of a
dancer.

"Shall I hold this for you?" Jason asked seeing that the money belt was
something special in David's eyes. Reluctantly David passed it to Jason who
placed it on the chair in full view of him. Gradually David made his way
over to the shower which immediately came on as the sensors picked up his
arrival. For several minutes he basked in the warmth of the water flowing
over him. It felt wonderful and slowly his limbs came back to life. After
several minutes he cupped his hand beneath the hair shampoo dispenser and
allowed a good portion to be dispensed. He lathered his long fair hair
which had grown down to his shoulders. It needed cutting but he couldn't
afford that so put up with it. He hadn't managed to give it a good shampoo
like this for such a long time so massaged his scalp for several
minutes. He glanced across at the chair to see his money belt was still
there and noticed Jason at the airing cupboard pulling out some clean
towels. The thought of going back out onto the streets once he'd washed and
eaten came over him making him feel sick. He dispensed some shower gel into
his hand and began to wash his body.

Finally he felt clean. The cleanest he'd felt since being homeless as the
shelters he'd used were never that satisfactory when it came to having a
shower and even worse for sleeping in. He'd been attacked and had most of
his decent clothes stolen so vowed never to use them again despite being
approached by homeless workers to do so.

When he was done he slowly walked out of the shower of water and it stopped
running. Jason was standing waiting for him with a large bath towel and a
smaller one to dry his hair. He wrapped the large towel round David's naked
body and was about to pass him the smaller one for his hair when David
collapsed into his arms. Tears poured down his face. Why, he wasn't too
sure. It was probably the relief of finding someone who genuinely wanted to
help him. Without hesitation, Jason held him close and wrapped his arms
round David, gently rubbing his back as he did so. Neither said anything
but the mere warmth and feel of another man up against him made David feel
safe. He was conscious of his wet body pressing against Jason's shirt and
trousers but he didn't seem bothered that they were now getting wet. Jason
used his hands to gently rub David's back and buttocks dry with the towel
as David wrapped his wet arms round Jason.

After a while, they moved apart and Jason dried David's long hair. Now it
was clean it shone and looked beautiful despite it needing a cut to tidy it
up. Without thinking, Jason moved forward and lightly kissed David on the
lips. David's whole body came alive. It was as if someone had flicked a
switch inside him. Was his life about to turn round? If so, he couldn't see
how since all he could think about was having to go back onto the streets
once he'd eaten whatever Jason was to offer him.

"I've wet you. I'm sorry" David whispered feeling Jason's wet shirt. Jason
smiled.

"It's only water and you smell nice now". That made David smile. He must
have stunk before he had the shower. David dried the front of his body, not
that he would have minded Jason doing it for him, whilst Jason grabbed a
thick towelling bath robe for him to wear. He'd sort out some clean clothes
for him after they'd eaten.


2.

David sat at the breakfast bar and watched Jason prepare a meal for them
both.

"You've not asked why I'm homeless like most people do; most think I'm a
useless waster."

"Do you want to tell me then?"

David then told his story. He'd been born into a poor family up north. His
father had been a miner until the colliery had closed down. David had been
an only child and had been a big disappointment to his father because he
wasn't a 'real boy'. He hated football and all the rough sports that his
father considered he should play. He loved music and dance like his mother
who'd been a dancer before she'd met his father. Once David was on the way
that put paid to that career and his father never encouraged her in any
event. He frequently wondered why his mother had married him since he never
saw any love between them. Secretly she encouraged David to pursue his
dance. When his father found out he was furious but David was
determined. It was another Billy Elliott story. David had seen the film
which urged him on to become a ballet dancer. He was good and eventually
obtained a place at a ballet school paid for by a local council
grant. Before long he was encouraged to move to London and train at the
Royal Academy of Dance. It wasn't long before he was appearing in well
known shows and about to become a star.

"What's your last name?" Jason asked suddenly realising who David was. When
he'd watched him in the bathroom a vague recognition had passed across his
mind but he couldn't place him.

"James"

"David James, of course; I saw you dance in Swan Lake". David nodded. He
remembered it well and it was almost his last performance. "I seem to
remember you had an accident, so what happened?"

It was David's twenty-first birthday. Several friends had taken him to
celebrate. He didn't normally drink that much so became somewhat
drunk. When he left the pub he walked into the road without thinking and
was knocked over by a motorcyclist. The rider came off his bike but only
suffered grazing. The force of the bike hitting David's leg had broken it
so he was in hospital for several months since he had nobody to look after
him whilst the bone knitted together again. It was the end of his dancing
career.

"Couldn't you have gone home to your parents?"

Before he'd left home to come to London, he'd come out to his parents. His
mother had known her son was gay for some time before then but had said
nothing. His father refused to have anything to do with him. Not only was
he embarrassed to have a ballet dancer as a son but to have a gay one was
the last straw. A few years after David had moved to London and started his
training, his mother died. She'd never been a well woman having suffered
from bronchitis for years due to the damp conditions they lived in. Once
David had left home she lost the will to live and slowly slipped
away. She'd only once managed to get down to London to see her son dance
towards the end of his training but his father refused to come and see him,
even when he was recognised as being an up and coming star. He still felt
embarrassed at having a ballet dancer for a son and even more so for him
being gay.

"So going home was not an option and I've never seen or heard from him
since my mother's funeral. Even then he refused to speak to me." Jason sat
down beside David and held his hand. He'd never heard such a sad story but
wanted to know how David had ended up homeless.

When he'd finally come out of hospital it seemed all his dancing friends
had moved on and no longer wanted to know him. Since the accident had been
his fault there was no compensation so it didn't take long for him to be
evicted from his lodgings with nowhere to go. He tried to get other jobs
but without success and eventually found himself on the street with no roof
over his head. He'd tried shelters but they'd been worse than living and
sleeping on the street so that's what he'd done for almost two years
now. Jason patted his hand and said nothing but inside he was fuming that
society could treat someone as talented and beautiful as David so
badly. Whatever happened, he'd make sure he had a roof over his head and a
life to look forward to doing whatever he wanted.

The meal was ready so they sat at the breakfast bar and ate in
silence. Jason had heated up a steak and mushroom pie and prepared potatoes
and cabbage. It was the best meal David had tasted for a long time. Jason
watched him gobble it up and offered him a second helping which David also
ate with the same enthusiasm. Jason had found an apple crumble in the
fridge which he'd not finished so he heated that up, made some custard and
watched David mop the lot up. As he did so, he made a pot of coffee.

"Had enough? I have cheese and biscuits if you want more" Jason
smiled. David grinned saying he felt full. It was the first time he'd felt
that way for such a long time.

"Thank you; you've been very kind" he whispered with tears forming in his
eyes. Jason poured the coffee and they sat and drank it in silence
again. David was thinking how he was going to go back to living on the
street after this and Jason was thinking how best he could help him.

"I'd better make a move" David said suddenly standing up. Jason looked up
startled.

"What do you mean? Don't you want to stay here?" David looked at him with a
weak smile. Of course he wanted to stay but how could he?

"You don't want a useless waster under your feet but thanks for
everything".

"David, sit down". The tone and strength of the instruction made David jump
for a moment but he sat down again. "You can't go back to living on the
streets David" Jason said softly, "Unless you say you don't like me or
don't want to stay here then you are; I want to help you David; don't you
want that?"

David looked at Jason with tears forming in his eyes. Of course he wanted
help and he was more than happy to let Jason help him. "You don't know me
Jason, why should you want to help me, I'm useless now".

Jason stood up and took David into his arms. He loved the feel of the warm
body up against his. "David, you are not useless; you've had some bad luck
and society has cast you aside but I'm not prepared to do that; I'd like
you to stay here with me so you can get strong again and once you decide
what you want to do with your life I'll help you but I'm not going to let
you throw your life away and go back on the streets; do you understand?"
David nodded and tears flooded down his face. Jason hugged him and kissed
the side of his face tasting the salty tears. Even they tasted good and he
felt his whole body react to the realisation that he wanted this man, he
wanted him very much and he wanted him to be a part of his life if he would
let him.

"So, what do you say?" David looked into Jason's green eyes which sparkled
with hope and love. How he so wanted to love a man like this. He'd had
boyfriends during his time at the Academy but nobody that special. Could he
really let this wonderful man help him get back on his feet and make a life
for himself? Without Jason's generosity so far he'd have probably died
quietly away in a corner because nobody else had been that bothered about
him. He nodded and kissed Jason on the lips.

"Thank you" was all he could say.

Jason led him into the living room which like everywhere else was oozing
with good quality and beauty. There was nothing brash about Jason despite
his money. He clearly appreciated art by the many pictures around the place
and he appreciated fine things. Jason sat him down on the sofa and sat
beside him. Since David had given him his life story he felt it only fair
that he did too.

"Here, read this, it will tell you all about me rather than me trying to
say it all". Jason passed David his iPad having put Jason Palmer into the
search engine. David took the iPad having never used one before but soon
got the hang of how to scroll the article up and down with his
finger. Whilst David read it, Jason pulled out his iPhone and sent an email
to a very good friend of his who was a private investigator. 'Let me have
all you can find on David James, ballet dancer' he wrote before hitting the
Send button. If he was going to help this guy then he needed to make
absolutely sure what he was dealing with.

David read that Jason was the son of Macaulay Palmer who was a financier
and owned a private commercial bank. His mother was Celia Palmer who in her
day had been a successful lawyer. They lived in Marlborough, Wiltshire at
the family estate. When David read the estimated worth of Jason's parents
his eyes almost popped out of his head. He then moved onto Jason's career
and read that he'd been to Oxford and obtained a first class honours degree
in business management and now owned numerous companies most of which were
in the arts. They included high class art galleries in London, two regional
theatres and a cinema as well as a company that sold art materials and one
that supplied props to most of the major theatres in London. He too was
worth millions in his own right and supported numerous charities and the
arts.

"Wow" was all David could say once he'd finished reading.

"So, are you happy to let me help you?"

"Yes" David whispered hardly believing what was happening, "Thank
you". Jason pulled him into a hug and held him tight. David rested his head
on Jason's shoulder and enjoyed the feel of the warm body up against
his. Jason had removed his wet shirt and trousers before they'd left the
bathroom and donned a silk bath robe. The heat exuded through the silk and
permeated into David's bony body. He felt he belonged but how long it would
last he had no idea. He was worried that at some point the bubble would
burst.

He was suddenly aware of Jason kissing the top of his head and squeezing
them closer together. David had no complaint about that and allowed his
body to move right up close. "Have you had anyone special in your life?"
Jason asked casually. David said apart from his mother, who he'd loved with
all his heart, he'd never met that special person. At least not until now
but he didn't add that bit.

"How about you, I imagine you must have lots of admirers". Jason said he
didn't. He'd had one or two boyfriends over the years but nobody who he
felt he wanted to make a life with.

"I'm probably difficult to live with" Jason chuckled. David doubted that,
at least not from what he'd seen so far. Jason appeared to be the most
loving kind man he'd ever come across.

After several minutes of silence just holding each other, Jason heard his
phone ping to indicate an email had arrived. He picked up the phone and
opened the email. David still had his head resting on his shoulder so
couldn't see.

'David James, successful ballet dancer who had a promising career but on
his twenty-first birthday three years ago, he was hit by a motorcyclist and
broke his leg. He was in hospital for several months and now has a metal
plate fitted to hold the broken thigh bone together. He got into financial
difficulties because he could no longer dance and has not been heard of for
almost two years now. No criminal record and not known by the police.'

Attached to the email was a photograph of David when he was twenty one. He
recognised him immediately from the man snuggled up in his arms. There was
no doubt that he had found David James.

Jason smiled as he replied thanking his friend for the information and his
usual efficiency. He ended the message by saying 'David James is now
sitting beside me having rescued him from the streets where he was
homeless.'

Jason had noticed the scar on David's thigh when he was undressed. "How is
your leg these days; I can't imagine the cold and wet helped much did it?"
Jason asked casually. David nodded and said it hurt like hell some days
especially because of the plate that had been fitted.

"Would you let me take you to see my doctor tomorrow just to check you
over?" David nodded. Why not, he was now in Jason's hands and happy to be
so. After a while, Jason could sense that David was tired. Not surprising
really so he suggested that perhaps he'd like to go to bed. David nodded
and they stood up. Jason led him along to one of the two spare bedrooms and
once inside, David realised it was not Jason's room.

"Oh" he said without thinking. Jason looked at him wondering what was
wrong. "Sorry, this is fine".

"What's wrong David?"

"No, it's okay"

"David, tell me, what is wrong?" Jason took David into his arms and looked
into his eyes which although brighter than they had been showed sadness.

"I thought perhaps we were going to sleep together ... but of course you
don't want a tramp in your bed". For a moment Jason was shocked. He'd love
to have David share his bed but had no idea he'd want to do so.

"David" Jason replied harshly, "You are not a tramp" he said sternly and
smacked David's butt, "Please get that idea out of your head; I feel I've
known you for a long time even though we've never spoken so you're a friend
and very welcome; if you'd like to share my bed I'd be more than happy to
let you do so but I didn't want to assume anything."

David kissed Jason on the lips and hugged him. "Thanks; it's been such a
long time since I've had a man in my arms and I'd love to feel a warm body
up against mine for once". Jason chuckled and said he too hadn't had a warm
body to cuddle for a long time. He didn't count escorts who only wanted to
perform and then get off having taken their fee. Having switched off the
lights in the living room he led him to his own room and once again David
silently gasped at the sumptuous look about it. "Beautiful" he said under
his breath, "Truly beautiful". Once again the walls had original artwork,
most of which were the male form in all its glory.

"I should warn you" Jason giggled as he slipped off his robe; "I sleep
naked; always have and always will".

"Suits me" David grinned as he slipped his robe off and climbed beneath the
soft sheets. Once in bed they held each other in their arms pressing their
nakedness up against one another. They both felt a reaction down below, but
now was not the time to do anything about that. David was too tired in any
event and Jason certainly wasn't going to take advantage as much as he
wanted to do so.



When Jason woke the following morning he looked at the beautiful guy
slumbering beside him. He gently kissed David's head and crept out of
bed. Once he'd made a morning cup of tea for both of them he returned to
the bedroom as David was waking up. When he saw Jason's nakedness he
smiled. The guy was beautiful. He felt his body react and hoped Jason
wouldn't notice.

Jason was tempted to climb back into bed but controlled his urge. Instead
he sat on the side of the bed and drank his tea whilst David sat up and
sipped his.

"Did you sleep well?"

"The best ever". He'd dreamt of sleeping in a bed again for so long. To do
so with a gorgeous man beside him was beyond his wildest dreams.

"Let's see what we can find for you to wear". Jason opened drawers and
rummaged through his wardrobe. As he did so he pulled out various clothes
for David to try on. Eventually he was dressed in a completely new set of
clothes.

"How do you feel?" David stood in front of the long mirror and gazed at his
new look. He hardly recognised himself.

"Fantastic" He'd never worn such clothes which as new must have cost a
fortune but here he was wearing them. "Thank you so much". David turned and
held Jason's face in his hands. He kissed him on the lips and Jason was so
tempted to pull David into a passionate kiss. He wanted him so badly.

After breakfast Jason obtained David's permission to bag up his old clothes
and throw them away. He was more than happy to see them go and helped Jason
bag them up. They labelled them as rubbish and left them for Jason's
cleaner to bin them. Juan was in fact much more than a cleaner. Apart from
keeping the apartment clean, he did the washing and ironing and frequently
cooked dishes for Jason to heat up as required. Jason had met Juan in a gay
bar three years before and when he heard that he was looking for work
decided to hire him. Juan loved working for Jason who treated him
generously and enjoyed the three days he attended each week.

Jason had called his doctor who ran a private clinic and arranged for David
to be examined by him immediately after lunch but first he took him to his
hairdresser. Jason sat and watched as David's hair was cut. They looked at
each other in the mirror smiling. By the time they walked out, David's hair
shone. They'd agreed that he should keep it long but now it had been
groomed it suited him perfectly. Slowly David felt he was at last on the
road to a new life. As soon as he could, David kissed Jason with tears in
his eyes and thanked him but he still had no idea what he was going to do
in the future.

"Take it slowly" Jason told him, "you need to build yourself up before you
make any major decisions".

"But I don't want to be a burden on you" David wailed. Jason took David's
head into his hands and made him look at him.

"Don't be daft David, you're not a burden; I'm happy to look after you". He
wanted to add that he needed him and that he loved him but didn't want to
put pressure on him. David was relieved. He felt the same way but didn't
and couldn't say how he really felt. Instead he just kissed Jason and
thanked him yet again.

By lunchtime they'd purchased a new wardrobe for David including a
beautiful new overcoat which he decided to wear immediately. Everything
else would be delivered to the apartment. Jason took David to the Wolseley
restaurant in Piccadilly. It was one of his favourite places and whenever
he arrived he'd be greeted as an old friend and shown straight to a table
irrespective of how busy they were. David loved it and the food. As he sat
there enjoying the wonderful food put before him he couldn't stop thinking
that twenty four hours earlier he'd been homeless.

The private clinic was in Harley Street and as soon as they arrived they
were ushered into see the doctor.

"I'd like you to stay with me" David told Jason as they followed the
receptionist upstairs. The doctor had already accessed David's health
record so knew all about his accident. Once he'd done the usual blood
pressure checks and taken blood for numerous tests, he asked the nurse to
take him downstairs to x-ray his leg to check how it was doing. Whilst he
was gone Jason got the doctor to do his bloods. He wanted to make sure he
was okay just in case he and David did get into a serious relationship. He
so hoped they would.

By the time David had returned the doctor was looking at the result of the
x-ray on his computer. Jason could see the metal plate and grinned. He now
had positive proof that David was who he said he was. "The bone has healed
nicely" the doctor told David.

"But I still won't ever be able to dance again" David replied sadly.

"You could always teach" Jason said trying to cheer him up. David had tried
to get a job teaching after the accident but nobody was prepared to take
him on. He had the feeling he was seen as too much of a liability.

"First you must build yourself up" the doctor said, "sleeping rough has
taken its toll on you but I'm sure Jason will help you do that. Sometime in
the country would be beneficial; perhaps you could take David to Woodcote
Jason." It was already in Jason's mind to do that but first he wanted David
to feel at home with him.

"What's in Woodcote?" David asked once they'd left the clinic and they were
driving off in the private car Justin had hired to take them round
London. He seldom used his own car when he had several places to go to
because of parking so he used a private hire company who provided a
chauffeur driven car for the duration. David had never known such opulence
but had a feeling he could soon get very used to it.

"My country house" Jason replied casually. David smiled. Of course a man of
Jason's means would have a house in the country.

By the time they arrived at the apartment, their earlier purchases had been
delivered and left in the apartment's outer hallway. On their way in Jason
introduced David to Renee the concierge telling him that David would be
living with him for at least the time being. Renee welcomed David and
smiled warmly.

"I take it he knows you're gay" David whispered as they got into the lift
that took them up to the apartment. Jason smiled and kissed David.

"Oh yes, and so is he; he has a boyfriend who's even more gorgeous than
him". David decided he was definitely going to enjoy living there; the
problem was for how long?


3.

The following morning Jason noticed that David was very quiet and wondered
if something was wrong. When he asked, David just shook his head but Jason
was not convinced. They'd hugged each other in bed again that morning and
despite both having morning woods nothing happened. Neither of them wanted
to be the first to initiate anything. They cleared away the breakfast
things in silence and as they did so Jason took every opportunity to touch
David to make him feel wanted. He had a feeling he was still not sure about
staying despite what they'd said and done the previous day.

Jason was just about to check his emails when Juan arrived. Jason had
forgotten it was one of his days to come so as soon as he came in he
introduced David. Juan beamed and welcomed him. For a brief moment David
seemed to lighten up and Jason's heart lifted.

"I'll start in the bedroom if that's okay" Juan said having warmly shaken
David's hand.

Once Juan had left them, Jason noticed David looking out of the window as
if his mind was elsewhere. He went over and put his arms round him. "Are
you okay?" David gave a slight nod but it was far from convincing. "Do you
want to unpack the clothes we bought yesterday; I could make some room in
the wardrobe for you." David turned and Jason could see tears in his
eyes. He wrapped his arms round him and hugged him tight. "What's wrong
David; please tell me" Jason pleaded.

"You've been very kind Jason but I can't accept all these things; it's too
much and I can't see any way to repay you."

"What are you talking about? I don't want repayment, all I want is you."
Jason pulled David back so he could look into his eyes. He kissed him but
it was more than just a peck on the lips like previous kisses. "You don't
remember me do you?" David looked at him with furrowed brows.

"Remember you; where from?"

"Do you remember the theatre where you performed Swan Lake just before your
accident?" David nodded. How could he ever forget? It was the best
performance he'd ever done and then he'd ruined everything. "I own that
theatre and having seen you perform somewhere else I arranged for Swan Lake
to be put on at my theatre and insisted that you performed in it because I
could see you were an up and coming star. We met back stage when the whole
cast was introduced to me and several other people. I fell in love with you
David from that moment but then you had the accident. I tried and tried to
find you but you seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth. In
the end I assumed you'd gone back up north to your home but still I
couldn't find you. When I saw a homeless guy about a year ago it reminded
me of you but I had no idea it was you. I kick myself for not helping you
then David; I'm so sorry because I could have saved you a year of being on
the streets but it never occurred to me it was you; I just assumed it was
someone similar to you but every time I saw you I'd give you money thinking
about you; I'm so sorry I let you down. I love you David; have done for the
past three years but never been able to tell you. When I realised who you
really were the other night I couldn't believe my luck but didn't want to
put more pressure on you. I wanted you to make up your own mind about
staying with me."

By now Jason had tears in his eyes as well as David who looked
dumbfounded. He had no idea. He could remember meeting several people after
the first performance but didn't take note of who they were since he was
too taken up with the thrill of having performed.

"I sat there hour after hour in the hope you'd come by knowing that
whenever you did you'd give me some money. There's nothing to be sorry for
Jason; you kept me alive because without your kindness I would have gone
into a corner and died. I loved you from the first day you stopped and put
some coins into my hand but I assumed you'd be a married man with a family
so tried to put you out of my mind but then I'd see you again and my
feelings would never go away. When you came to my rescue the other evening
I too couldn't believe my luck but couldn't tell you how I really felt. I
love you too Jason."

They fell into each other's arms and hugged. They then pressed their lips
together and kissed but this time it was a passionate kiss as tears
streamed down their faces.

"So, will you now accept my help and any gifts I give you; and accept them
as my boyfriend, my lover or whatever you want to call it?" David nodded
grinning. He was too emotional to say anything other than pull Jason's lips
up against his and kiss him yet again.

"I take that as a yes then" Jason grinned once the passionate kiss was
over. David nodded wiping away the tears. "I've even got photographs of you
in that production" Jason said moving over to a shelf to fetch a photograph
album. He opened it up and there was David in his Swan Lake costume. Stuck
alongside were newspaper cuttings of his performance. He'd hadn't ever seen
these and found them fascinating. He'd never realised how good the reviews
had been. He so yearned to dance again but he knew it would never be.

As if reading his mind, Jason put his arm round him as he looked at the
photographs. "I know you can't dance again professionally but you don't
have to give up completely you know; as I said yesterday you could always
teach; you have such talent David."

"Nobody will be interested in taking me on now after all this time".

"Then start your own school of dance."

"A wonderful idea but how, I don't have the finance to do that."

"Oh David when will you realise, I will finance it and set you up, all you
have to do is the teaching; I have all the resources to do everything else
for you but first you must build yourself up and get fit again." David
looked at Jason trying to work out why someone would want to do so much for
him. "David, I'm madly in love with you, can't you see that?"

"Yes; I love you too but..." Jason put his fingers on David's lips to stop
him saying more.

"No buts. I want to do this once you're fit again. All I want is for you to
love me because the thought of losing you again doesn't bear thinking
about." David was now in tears again as he held Jason in his arms.

"I love you so much Jason; thank you" was all he could say between the
tears.

They stayed in each other's arms for what seemed eternity. Neither wanted
to leave go. It wasn't until Jason was conscious of Juan standing in the
doorway that they moved apart.

"Sorry guys, is it okay if I come in and do in here?"

"Yes of course Juan, David and I are going into the bedroom to unpack his
new clothes". Juan grinned at David as they moved into the bedroom. He
could see they were very much in love with each other and he rather liked
the idea of having two guys to look after.


"I've got to go into my office this afternoon but you're welcome to come
with me if you want". David said he'd like that. He didn't want to be left
on his own. He'd been so alone for the past two years.

"What shall I wear?" Jason smiled and pulled out a pair of Armani jeans
they'd purchased the day before and an equally expensive shirt to go with
them along with a pair of top quality black shoes. David still couldn't
believe that all these clothes were his to wear. There was no need to wear
a tie apparently so he left the shirt open at the neck. Jason looked at him
once he was dressed and gave him a kiss.

"Perfect" Although he decided David needed some jewellery round his neck so
made a mental note to buy him something.

When they arrived at the smart offices just off Bond Street a
commissionaire came out to greet them and took the keys to Jason's car for
it to be parked round the back. Jason greeted the receptionist at the front
desk and led David up to the fourth floor. As they went, he explained that
his offices only used that floor although he owned the whole
building. "This is head office really so all the other enterprises report
into here". David wondered whether he'd ever get used to all this but he
enjoyed it all the same.

"Good afternoon sir" a young man said as they moved through
reception. Jason greeted the young man before moving down the corridor to
another office.

"Hi gorgeous" Jason said as they went in. David watched Jason give a guy a
kiss as he stood up to greet them. "This is Phil" Jason said turning to
David, "He's my right hand man so anything you need you ask Phil to
organise; we've known each other since college haven't we?" Phil grinned
and stepped forward to shake David's hand.

"You must be David" he beamed as he took hold of David's hand and shook it
warmly. David wondered how Phil knew his name but assumed Jason must have
spoken to him before they came. "Tell me; are you David James the ballet
dancer?" David was astounded that anyone should know of him.

"Yes, but I haven't danced for several years" David managed to reply.

"David had a nasty accident so can't dance professionally anymore but one
of these days I hope to see him dancing again" Jason said lovingly as he
put his arms round David and pulled him into an embrace. David looked at
Phil who could see the love oozing between them.

"I've put the items you asked me to get in your office Jason" Phil said
once the introductions were over.

"Thanks, you're a star" Jason replied as he pulled Phil into another hug
and kissed him. David could see these two clearly knew each other well and
he wondered if anything sexual had taken place between them. As Jason led
him into the adjoining office he also wondered what sex would be like once
they got round to that. So far nothing more than kissing and cuddling had
taken place but now they'd professed their love for each other he so hoped
it would progress beyond that. One thing he did know was that Jason never
rushed things so he'd be guided by him.

"This is for you my love" Jason said having picked up an expensive shoulder
bag that was sitting on the desk.

"Me?" David exclaimed as he looked at it. Jason smiled. He loved seeing
David's face when he was given something.

"Yes, you and you'll find some things inside as well"

David opened the zip and pulled out what was inside. "Oh my god; Jason you
shouldn't have" David exclaimed as he opened the first parcel which was an
iPhone. His old phone had been stolen at one of the hostels he'd stayed in,
not that he could afford the monthly contract any longer so it was of no
consequence.

"I need to be able to contact you if we're apart my love; it's on the
company account so you don't have to worry about paying the monthly fee."
David held the beautiful item in his hand and looked at Jason. He could see
it was all set up and ready to use even down to having Jason's numbers
already stored. He then looked at the next parcel he'd removed which was
larger than the iPhone box. When he opened that he cried.

"Jason I can't accept all this" he gasped as he opened the package to find
an iPad.

"Will you stop saying that David and just enjoy being spoilt for once in
your life" Jason giggled as he put his arms round David and held him
tight. Just the feel of Jason's strong arms round him made his whole body
go to jelly, well apart from one bit but he hoped that was not too obvious.

"Thank you" David managed to say between tears.

"Knowing Phil it will be ready to use and I suspect he's even set up an
email address for you". Jason flicked a switch on the phone and asked Phil
to join them. "Have you set up a personal email address for David on the
iPad?" Phil said he had and on the iPhone so the two synchronised.

"Thank you Phil, thank you so much" David said as he held the two items in
his hand.

"You can kiss him if you want" Jason giggled, "He likes kisses don't you
Phil?" David and Phil looked at each other and grinned but not wanting to
disappoint him David moved forward and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

"I put the wallet in the front pocket, did you find that?" Phil
grinned. David gasped as he unzipped another pocket at the front of the
bag. Sure enough he found a beautiful leather wallet and slipped inside was
fifty pounds in notes.

"I don't know what to say" David exclaimed. Jason's generosity never ceased
to amaze him but then he'd never known a multimillionaire before let along
been in love with one. Jason hugged him tight and kissed him on the lips
whilst Phil watched on. You lucky bugger, Phil told himself. Not that he
was envious, or was he? He'd known Jason for so many years but had never
seen him in love like this. At college they'd had a fling but nothing had
come of it apart from Jason offering him a job with his company once they'd
completed their degrees. He was happy and Jason was a generous employer to
say the least and he enjoyed working for him but like Jason he'd not found
that special person. It seemed that Jason had now found Mr Right so perhaps
he would too one day.

"Phil, would you look after David please whilst I have my meeting?" Phil
was more than happy to look after the gorgeous ballet dancer. "One thing
you can do is take him to see Ray; he knows David is coming".

When David was outside with Phil he asked who Ray was and what position he
held with the company.

"He's the Company Accountant". David had no idea why he should be meeting
the company accountant but clearly Jason had spoken to him.

When they reached Ray's office he shook David's hand warmly and invited him
to sit down. "I'll bring him back to your office Phil when we're done" Ray
said smiling at David. Once Phil had left them Ray explained that Jason had
asked him to set up a personal account for David with Jason's bank. "I
understand you've not had the need for one for a while so we need to start
from scratch but Jason is willing to act as a referee for you so there'll
be no problem. I've already spoken to the bank and they've emailed me the
form to complete. I understand from Jason you do have some personal papers
showing your identity."

David had wondered why Jason had told him to bring those with him so he
pulled out the few documents he had that showed he was David James. Ray
said they were perfect for what the bank required and that with Jason as a
referee they were willing to give him a credit card with immediate
effect. "Jason has also asked me to set up a monthly allowance for you
until such time as you are earning your own money." David sat back
astonished. "Did he not mention that?" Ray asked seeing that David was
overcome with emotion. David shook his head and felt tears well up in his
eyes. He seemed to spend most of his time crying over things that Jason was
doing for him. "He loves you very much; you're a lucky guy" Ray smiled
patting David's hand.

"I know and I can't believe what's happening but I love him too" David
managed to whisper.

"I can see you do David and I'm very pleased for both of you; Jason has
never loved anyone as much before so you must be very special"

"I so hope so" David wept.

He signed the forms where indicated by Ray and noticed that his address was
now shown as Jason's Kensington apartment. He hardly knew it himself let
alone realise it was now his home. "When did Jason tell you about me?"
David asked curious to know how everything had been organised so quickly.

"He emailed me this morning" Ray replied casually as he photocopied David's
documents. "When Jason has made his mind up things happen quickly" he
chuckled "But don't think he makes hasty decisions because he doesn't; he
thinks things through very carefully before reaching a decision." For some
reason that made David feel better since at least he knew Jason really did
love him. "He's a wonderful guy and everyone loves him" Ray added smiling.


Finally Jason's meeting was over and he called David into his office. Once
Phil had closed the door and left them on their own David went up to Jason
and pulled him into an embrace. He kissed him passionately with yet more
tears running down his face and pressed his body up against Jason's. He was
fairly sure that his too was reacting the same as his but that would have
to wait until later.

"Thank you" David said once he'd released Jason from the long hard kiss.

"Mm, I could get very used to this" Jason grinned.

"I don't know why I deserve all this kindness but I want you to know Jason
that I really do love you and will always do so for as long as I
live". This time it was Jason's turn to be speechless and have tears well
up in his eyes. God I so love this guy.

"You up for going out for meal tonight; not sure I feel like cooking
tonight"

"I can cook you know" David grinned, "but I'm happy to do that to celebrate
our new relationship." Jason kissed him and pulled him up tight again as he
flicked on the intercom to Phil's office.

"Phil, could you be a darling and book a table for two at The Ivy for seven
please". David had heard of The Ivy restaurant but never imagined he'd ever
be dining there. He guessed there were a lot of things he'd have to get
used to now.


4.

The meal was perfect despite it being fine dining which David wasn't used
to but he enjoyed it all the same. Jason was recognised by the staff
immediately so were treated like royalty. When they'd finished Jason
suggested they go home instead of going onto a bar. David was happy to do
that since he was tired. Once the private chauffeur driven car had dropped
them off they made their way up to the apartment.

"Have you never thought of having your own chauffeur to drive you about?"
Jason said it was easier to hire a car when required than bother employing
a permanent guy. "I also noticed that all the employees I met were
male". Jason grinned.

"There are a few females but the majority are gay males. Got to look after
our own haven't we!"

Whilst Jason prepared two gin and tonics for them David glanced out of the
window again. He'd noticed that morning there was what appeared to be a
glass enclosure outside the sliding door from the living room which then
led onto a large balcony area. "What's out there?"

"Have a look my love". David opened the sliding door and stepped into the
glass enclosure. Hidden at one end was a hot tub.

"Wow I love hot tubs" he exclaimed. Jason joined him and flipped a
switch. The top of the tub lifted and steam poured out.

"Want a soak?"

"What now?"

"Why not, come on strip off and I'll bring our drinks out". By the time
Jason had returned, David was stripped naked. "Jump in" Jason giggled as he
stripped naked to join him. Once in the tub they embraced and kissed
passionately. David could feel Jason's erection pressing up against his. He
couldn't resist dropping his hand and grasping it. Jason gasped and groaned
with pleasure. He was so pleased that David had made the first move. As the
kiss continued he moved his hand between David's legs and felt the hard
organ waiting for attention.


They eventually moved from the tub to the bedroom. They were both eager to
explore each other's bodies more intimately than they'd done before. After
much kissing and sucking, they fell into their natural roles. Jason
preferred being the bottom and David the top although they both admitted
they were prepared to do the opposite on occasions. David loved being in
control and Jason loved him doing so. It was the most wonderful sex David
had experienced. Okay, he'd not had any for almost three years but even so
he couldn't remember ever being in such bliss as they made love. But of
course, he'd never been in love like this before. Jason felt he was on
cloud nine as their bodies joined together. He too had never felt anything
like it before and wanted it to last forever but like all good things it
came to an end and they collapsed down beside each other.

"Happy?" Jason asked looking into David's eyes which were now sparkling.

"How could I not be? I've got a roof over my head but more important than
that I'm with a man who's kind, generous and who I love with all my heart;
oh, and I've just had beautiful sex with him." Jason's heart filled with
joy. At last I've found the man of my dreams.


Over the next two weeks they fell into a routine. David more often than not
accompanied Jason when he visited his office or his other business
enterprises since he loved being with Jason and watching him interact with
people, all of whom seemed to love him. Everyone was also very nice to him
and accepted him as Jason's boyfriend. He'd discussed with Jason how he
should answer what he did and they agreed that he'd say he was a ballet
dancer but had to give up professional dancing following a serious
accident. He'd spent the last three years recovering from that and another
illness. What the other illness had been they left unsaid and the
impression was given that he'd been living up north where he came from. If
only that had been the reality but in no way did David want to admit he'd
been homeless and living on the streets so that was kept strictly between
him and Jason.

"I'm visiting the Union tomorrow, would you like to join me?" Jason asked
as David prepared their evening meal. He'd taken over the cooking since
Jason decided he was far more accomplished with culinary matters than he
was although Juan still made his dishes which he loved doing.

The Union Theatre based in south London was where David had performed Swan
Lake. It was small but intimate and he'd loved performing there with the
audience almost part of the action. It had used the choreographer's skills
to the full to work out how to perform in such a limited space but he did
and the result was wonderful. David thought for a moment. Did he want to go
back to where he'd so enjoyed performing before that fateful night? But he
knew he had to meet the challenge eventually if he really was going to set
up his own dance school with Jason's assistance.

"Yes, I'd love to" he finally replied and wrapped his arms round Jason. He
never minded being hugged by his lover and held him tight. They kissed for
several minutes both feeling what it was doing to their bodies down
below. Jason pressed his up against David's and ground their hardness
together.

"Oh god I love you so much David". David's eyes lit up as he smiled before
going back into a passionate kiss.

"Fancy a soak in the hot tub? Have we got time before Phil comes?" Jason
laughed. He loved it now that David was confident enough to initiate love
making since he knew that was what was in his mind.

"I reckon we have; besides, I'm sure Phil won't be bothered if he finds us
in the all together".

"You're incorrigible" David laughed, "I bet he would love to given half the
chance; have you ever...you know...bedded him?"

Jason laughed. "Certainly not...well not actually bedded him but we did
roll around on the floor when I first met him and brought him back here
before I offered him a job."

They stripped off and made their way to the hot tub which was steaming
nicely. Once the warm water had seeped into their bodies, they fell into a
passionate embrace. As usual their bodies reacted and it wasn't long before
appendages were being serviced. Ideally Jason would have liked to take
David to bed but he knew there wouldn't be enough time for that so he sat
David up on the edge of the hot tub and brought him off to a satisfactory
conclusion with his mouth. Once done they changed over and David did the
same to Jason. Instead of getting out of the water they sank back in to
bask in the warmth. Whilst David felt comfort from the warm water on his
leg, which frequently ached, he gazed out the window and admired the
skyline of London which they could see clearly from their vantage point on
the top floor.

"Penny for them" Jason giggled as he snuggled up to his guy.

"I was thinking how good it would be to run a school of dance for guys who
are disadvantaged and can't afford the fees most schools charge or fail to
obtain a grant."

"I think that's a brilliant idea; I'd be more than willing to support that;
but why only guys and not girls as well?" David explained that the average
school of dance was dominated by girls and boys frequently felt they were
in a minority.

"At least that's what I found and I suspect it's still the same today since
so many fathers like mine don't think a boy should be interested in
dance. I'd like to specialise in providing training specifically for
boys. I know the Academy runs specific classes for boys but unless you have
the means they are beyond lots of guys."

"Then that's what we will do my love once you're fit enough to start
it". Jason pulled David into a passionate kiss as they hugged. They were
still at it when the door intercom sounded. "Fuck that must be Phil". They
both jumped out of the tub and wrapped a towel round their waist. Jason ran
to the hall and picked up the receiver. It was the concierge to say that
Phil had arrived and should he send him up in the lift. Jason said to do so
as he hastily dried himself off. David was doing the same but by the time
Phil had arrived in the hallway he was just walking through to the bedroom
to get dressed. Phil grinned when he saw two semi naked men with just a
towel wrapped round them.

"Hi guys, can anyone join in?" Jason grinned as he gave Phil a hug and a
kiss in his usual way. Phil then moved to where David was standing and took
him into his arms to kiss him. Suddenly David felt his towel being yanked
off him leaving him stark naked. "Mm very nice" Phil grinned admiring the
naked David as he tried to grab the towel back off him but Phil held onto
it tight and laughed.

"You are asking for trouble" Jason laughed also trying to grab the towel to
hide David's embarrassment. Seeing he wasn't going to give it up easily he
removed his own and threw it over to David. He then grabbed Phil's arms and
held him tight. "Right, what shall we do with him David? I know, how about
dunking him in the hot tub?" David laughed and said that was a great
idea. He was beyond bothering about his nakedness so grabbed hold of Phil's
feet and they carried him through to the hot tub.

"No, please, don't throw me in with all my clothes on" Phil pleaded rather
enjoying the game.

"In that case, we'd better strip him" Jason chuckled so whilst he held him
in an arm lock, David pulled off his shoes and socks, followed by his
trousers and boxer shorts. He then unfastened Phil's jacket and his shirt
and between them they managed to remove those items as well leaving Phil
stark naked. He was then lifted into the hot tub and dunked.

"I'm sorry guys but I couldn't resist it" Phil giggled once his head
reappeared from beneath the water, "But this is rather nice, can we stay
here for a while?" Jason was happy to do that so he told David to get back
into the tub and he'd fetch a bottle of wine for them to drink whilst
soaking. Phil was more than happy to see a naked David climb in with him
and immediately felt his body react as it always did when good looking
naked men were within reach. A few minutes later, Jason joined them and
they sat and drank their wine.

Phil had in fact come round to bring some papers that needed Jason's urgent
signature so he'd been invited to stay for a meal. Jason and David also
wanted to talk through their idea of a dance school since he'd do a lot of
the preparatory work to find a suitable venue and set it up. After a while
Jason decided they'd had enough soaking so climbed out. He and David were
amused to see Phil showing off an erection but he seemed not that
bothered. Nobody said anything about it as they dried off and got dressed
but David noticed it took quite some time for the bulge to disappear inside
Phil's trousers. Secretly Phil was hoping things might have progressed
further but after a while he realised that was not on the cards. He yearned
to have sex with his boss plus the gorgeous David but it would have to
remain a dream.


Whilst they ate, Jason told Phil about David's idea to open a dance school
for disadvantaged guys. Phil thought it a brilliant idea and was happy to
do some research to see what need there was for such a venture and look for
a possible venue. Jason said they couldn't go too far until David had built
up his strength from the illness following the accident. Phil fully
understood not querying or asking what kind of illness. David was relieved
and realised that if he stuck to that story he'd not have to admit to being
homeless. Jason had told him not to worry in any event since it had not
been of his making, but David knew he was to blame for the accident that
had ruined his career.

When Phil left he thanked Jason and David for a lovely evening, especially
the soak in the hot tub. He gave both of them a hug and a kiss with a
particularly passionate kiss for David. He rather fancied him but knew he
was very much out of bounds.

Once he'd gone, Jason took David into his arms and led him into the
bedroom. He couldn't put the guy down and took every opportunity to hug and
kiss him.

"As I've not got any important meetings for a couple of weeks, I thought
I'd take you to the house in Woodcote for a rest in the country. The air
will do you good and Robert's cooking will certainly build you up" Jason
chuckled.

Robert was a year older than Jason and had looked after the house since
he'd bought it some four years earlier. He'd advertised for a housekeeper
and interviewed numerous guys, having discarded the women, and eventually
found Robert. He liked him immediately and soon realised that he too was
gay so that suited Jason perfectly. Robert lived in the house and employed
a gardener named Sam who was three years younger. Robert had come across
Sam before and knew he'd be perfect for the job since they'd work well
together. He'd also taken a fancy to Sam who, of course, was also gay. Once
Jason had given his approval Sam was taken on so he now lived with Robert
in the house as his boyfriend. Between them they did everything and did it
well. Sam also acted as chauffeur as and when required which suited him
down to the ground since he loved driving expensive cars.

The house itself had five bedrooms, one of which they used at the end of
the landing. The main bedroom and the other three guest rooms each had
their own en-suite bathroom but there was also a large bathroom that Jason
had changed into a wet room with shower and a large Jacuzzi
bath. Downstairs there was a large lounge that had a glass conservatory in
which they sunbathed if the weather was not warm enough to go outside, a
separate dining room, a small study that Jason used as his office when
living there, plus a large live in kitchen which was where Robert and Sam
ate their meals. Robert loved cooking and baking so he always looked
forward to when Jason was staying since he would often entertain whilst
there. When Jason told him about David, Robert jumped with joy. He'd so
hoped that Jason would find the man of his dreams at some point since he'd
often noticed how sad and lonely Jason looked at times. As he had often
said to Sam, who he adored, 'money doesn't buy you love'. Robert had also
read about David James the ballet dancer so he was itching to meet him and
get to know him better.


The next day when Juan arrived, Jason asked him to do some packing for
their trip to Woodcote. Jason had another set of clothes he kept down there
but David needed to take some with him although they'd buy some more on one
of their trips to Oxford one day. David also made sure he packed his new
shoulder bag which he loved and included his iPad and his iPhone. He still
had lots to learn about how to use them properly but the time away would
give him plenty of opportunity to do so. He would start making notes of how
he envisaged the school of dance which he'd already decided to call 'The
David James School of Dance' following a suggestion from Jason.

He'd also framed the few photos of himself and his mother and Jason had
arranged for copies to be made so he could have one set at the apartment
and another at the house in Woodcote. His mother's rings that he prized had
been placed in the wall safe in which Jason kept important documents. He
still couldn't believe how lucky he was and each morning pinched himself
just to make sure he wasn't dreaming it all but seeing the beautiful guy
lying beside him soon made him realise it wasn't a dream.


5.

"Ready?" David nodded and hugged Jason yet again before kissing him. Juan,
who'd come especially to do the final packing, take their bags down to the
car and see them off, looked on as they did so. He too was so happy that
Jason had found someone to love and he also loved David who was so kind and
gentle.

"Drive carefully guys and be good" Juan giggled as he waved them off
throwing them a kiss as they went.

A few days before leaving for Woodcote Jason asked David if he could drive
and if so whether his driving licence was still valid. David said he did
drive and his licence was valid although he hadn't driven a car for two
years. That was something else he'd had to sell off when he was in
financial straits. Jason had therefore asked if he'd like to drive the
Mercedes to Woodcote. David jumped at the idea. He'd never driven such an
upmarket car before which from what he could see almost drove itself since
it was automatic transmission and had every possible gadget you could want
to make driving easy. It was him who was driving as they said their goodbye
to Juan to drive the hour and twenty minute journey to Woodcote, subject to
delays on the way but they'd not left until mid morning so as to miss the
rush hour traffic. Jason meanwhile relaxed back in his seat and enjoyed
being driven. He patted David's leg and smiled. "Love you".

"Love you too" David replied with a smile just as wide as Jason's.

The house was on the outskirts of Woodcote surrounded by a high brick wall
with large wrought iron gates. As David drove up to them Jason pressed the
remote control unit and they opened as if by magic. David silently gasped
as he drove down the sweeping driveway towards the house. It wasn't over
large but certainly larger than anything David had stayed in. Everywhere
looked immaculate so it was well look after including the sweeping driveway
and the lush green lawns with colourful flowerbeds.

As soon as David had stopped outside the front door it opened and a good
looking guy came out to greet them.

"Hi Jason" Robert called as he opened the door to let him out. David
climbed out the other side and walked round to join them.

"This is David" Jason said introducing his lover to Robert.

"Hi David and welcome to Croft House". The house had been named that since
early times and nobody was too sure why but Jason had decided to keep the
name. Robert shook David's hand warmly and smiled at him. David liked him
immediately and knew he was going to get on well with him. He oozed charm
and efficiency and he could see why Jason had chosen him. In addition, he
was rather good looking! Within seconds, Robert had taken their bags out of
the boot so David followed Jason into the large hallway that had a central
staircase leading up to the first floor like most grand houses. David
noticed a large room to the left which he noted was the lounge and another
to the right which was the dining room. The kitchen was behind the stairs
and also accessed the dining room. At the front on the left hand side was a
smaller room which David eventually found to be Jason's study.

"Lunch will be ready in about an hour if you want to change or have a rest"
Robert said as he carried the bags up to the main bedroom which was to the
left of the house at the back. It overlooked the garden and the fields
beyond and was magnificent. At the end was the en-suite bathroom and at the
front of the house was one of the guest rooms. David noted that both bags
were taken into the main bedroom so he assumed Robert realised or had been
told that he and Jason were lovers. On the right of the staircase was
another of the guest rooms with a slightly smaller one over the hallway but
they too had their own en-suite bathrooms. At the back down a small leg was
Robert and Sam's room which was almost the size of the main bedroom. The
main bathroom was situated in the centre backing side onto the main
bedroom. It was a well designed house and one that worked well which suited
Jason down to the ground. Now he had someone to share it with he planned to
spend more time there.

Robert unpacked the bags and hung everything up or put things away in
drawers with his usual efficiency whilst David admired the view out of the
large bay window. It was truly beautiful despite the cold day. As soon as
Robert had left them alone, Jason pulled David into his arms. "Welcome to
your second home my love". David tried to blink away the tears of joy that
were trying to squeeze out of his eyes. He felt so happy and leaned into
the hug kissing Jason as he did so.

"Thank you" he managed to say trying not to cry. He seemed to spend his
time crying these days and couldn't really understand why but he found
everything so emotional and he still couldn't quite get his mind round the
wonderful love and attention that Jason gave him. It was as if he was
living a dream yet he knew he wasn't.

Before he knew what was happening, Jason had gently pushed him down on the
bed and was straddling him. Whenever he felt Jason's hot body pressing
against his it made his own react in its own special way. Jason slowly
unbuttoned David's shirt and pulled it open. He bent down and kissed his
chest before licking each of his nipples. He knew this always made David
weak at the knees, which was his intention. As he licked each nub to make
it hard, he slowly unfastened the belt of David's trousers. It didn't take
long for them to be wide open and a hand feeling for the flesh inside.

"Ah" David gasped. He so loved Jason taking control like this so just lay
back and let it all happen. Within what seemed like seconds, David was
lying naked on the bed showing off his excitement at what Jason was doing
to him. David went down on the excited organ and almost swallowed it. David
gasped with pleasure trying to hold back what he knew would eventually come
as his body reacted to the attention. Whilst Jason sucked, he hastily
unbuttoned his own shirt tossing it to one side once he'd slipped it off
his shoulders. His trousers came next and everything else with them until
he too was naked. David could see that Jason was as excited as he was.

"I want to take you" Jason mumbled as he continued giving David's erection
attention. David nodded not wanting to say anything to spoil the flow of
things. He was happy for Jason to take control and be the top for once. He
was conscious of Jason reaching into the side table to pull out a bottle of
lube. Everything at hand he grinned and wondered how many other men had
been in this bed with Jason but it didn't bother him since they'd both had
a past. All he was interested in now was the future.

Once Jason had prepared himself he slipped inside David and once fully in
moved forward to kiss him. "Mm, that feels so nice my love". David had to
agree, it most certainly did. He wrapped his long legs round Jason's naked
butt and pulled them tight so as to keep Jason inside him. He wanted this
to last for as long as he could.

After quite some time, David felt Jason reach his peak inside him and his
own did the same between their stomachs without any assistance from either
of them. They then kissed hungrily as they came down from their climax.

"Think we'd better have a shower" Jason giggled, "Robert might come looking
for us". David grinned and had a mental picture of Robert seeing them as
they now were. For some reason it didn't bother him. He loved Jason and
didn't care who knew it or saw how they shared their love for each other.

The en-suite was very similar to the one at the apartment as it too was a
wet room so David felt at home. They showered together and once dried
changed into some more casual clothes before going downstairs. Jason took
David into the lounge which like everywhere else was beautifully furnished
in great style but not over the top. Robert soon appeared with a bottle of
wine and two glasses which he took out to the conservatory.

"I thought you'd like to relax in here whilst having lunch". Jason said
that was wonderful and gave Robert a fond hug. He liked Robert and enjoyed
his company.

"How's Sam?"

"He's fine; he'll be coming in with the lunch shortly". Jason indicated for
David to sit down on one of the conservatory chairs and he sat on another
nearby opposite a large sofa. Despite the cold outside the warmth of the
pale sun felt wonderful and David relaxed enjoying it. After a few minutes
another guy walked in carrying a tray of sandwiches and other delicious
finger buffet food.

"Hi Sam, how are you?"

"I'm fine thank you sir". Sam was smaller than Robert and always called
Jason sir despite being told to use his first name but Sam had been brought
up to always respect his employer and as much as he liked Jason he was
still his employer.

"This is David who now lives with me Sam". David held out his hand and Sam
briefly shook it.

"Good to meet you sir" Sam replied smiling but also running his eyes up and
down David's body to take it all in.

"I believe you are David James the ballet dancer" Robert said as he passed
David a glass of the wine he'd just poured out. David nodded wondering
whether Jason had told him or was this another admirer of ballet.

"Do you watch ballet Robert?" David asked. Robert said he had only ever
watched it on television but had read about him.

"I was so sorry to read about your terrible accident, you must really miss
professional dancing". David was astounded at Robert's knowledge of his
past but as he'd found out himself, it was all documented on the net.

Seeing David's unease, Jason jumped in. "He does but we hope to set up a
school of dance for disadvantaged guys once he's got his strength back and
fit again; the accident took a lot out of him so he's been ill for quite
some time." Robert and Sam looked at David with a concerned face and said
they hoped he soon felt well again. "I'm banking on the wonderful food and
the country air he's going to get whilst here will do that".

Sam laughed. "By the time you've eaten Robert's wonderful meals you'll soon
feel fit again sir".

"Thank you, I look forward to it".


David spent the next two days resting in the conservatory most of the
time. He liked the glass enclosure so sat there learning how to use his new
phone and iPad. Once he'd got the hang of things he started making notes of
how he'd set up his new school of dance. Just thinking about it perked him
up and for brief moments he dreamed of dancing again until his leg told him
otherwise. The cold weather made it ache and the two years on the streets
had not helped either. Hopefully he would be able to demonstrate certain
moves to students and everyday he forced himself to practice things. Robert
found him doing so on one occasion and he stopped.

"Don't stop, I love watching the way you move". David grinned and went back
to what he was doing. After a while he got Robert to be his partner and
taught him a few basic moves. Robert loved it and David relished the
thought of working with students.

"You're looking happy" Jason commented after one such occasion and David
admitted he did feel better. There was no doubt that even after two days of
Robert's food he was putting on weight. He'd have to watch that since he
couldn't afford to become overweight. Fortunately he was like his mother
who never put on weight irrespective of what she ate, unlike his father who
was an overweight slob. Yet another reason why David never got on with him.

"Fancy going to Oxford today to do some shopping?" David said he'd love to
knowing that Jason wanted to spoil him by buying yet more clothes but he
was getting used to being spoilt now so just accepted it.

After breakfast Jason asked Sam if he'd drive them there since parking in
Oxford was always difficult and he could drop them off wherever they
wanted. Sam loved driving the Mercedes so jumped at the opportunity.

"Do you want to come Robert?" He declined saying he had plenty to do at
home since Jason had invited three friends over for dinner the following
evening so he needed to prepare things for them.

When they were ready Jason and David walked out the front door and climbed
into the back of the car whilst Sam held the door open for them. David had
managed to get Sam to open up to him more since their first meeting. It
seemed they had a lot in common. Sam also came from a poor background and
his mother had died when he was still a child. His father was a farmhand
and had expected his eldest son to do the same. Sam wasn't interested in
farming but did have an interest in gardening. His father disapproved so
there was constant friction between them. When his father found out that
Sam was gay that was the end so Sam left home to make his own way in
life. It was shortly after that he met Robert and then obtained the job at
the house. As time went by he and Robert became lovers.

"I love the job here sir" Sam had told David, "and I love being with
Robbie". David could see the love in his eyes and told him so. When David
had said about his early life and how his father had been Sam was
surprised. He imagined David had come from a wealthy family. From then on
Sam couldn't do enough for David much to Jason's amusement but it was nice
to see that David had been accepted into the household. He knew Robert
would be okay but he wasn't so sure about Sam.

Jason asked Sam to drop them off at a particular men's shop he
liked. Whilst they shopped Sam would find somewhere to park and when they
were ready to be picked up Jason would call him on his mobile. That was
another reason Sam liked working for Jason because he'd issued both him and
Robert with the latest mobile phone each which was paid for by Jason's
company.

Once inside the shop Jason hijacked a young assistant to help them buy what
he had in mind for David. They ended up buying more clothes than David had
ever owned in his life but these were to be his wardrobe for the
country. When they were done, Jason called Sam and within five minutes he
and the sales assistant, who was delighted with the amount of commission
he'd earned from just one customer, were loading their purchases into the
boot of the car.

"Is there anything you need Sam?" Jason asked. Sam said he needed a new
pair of jeans so he was directed to a shop far more expensive than the ones
he usually used. Whilst Jason and Sam went in to make the purchase, David
looked after the car. Fortunately there was parking nearby so he didn't
have to negotiate his way round Oxford. When Sam returned he was
beaming. Jason had bought him two pairs of top quality jeans and two new T
shirts to go with them. Once he'd added them to the parcels in the boot Sam
took over driving again.

"You're very generous" David whispered to Jason.

"He's worth it and it's a thank you for making you so welcome". David
leaned over and kissed Jason despite Sam being able to see them in the rear
mirror. He loved his man and wasn't ashamed of letting everyone know.

"Where now sir?" Jason said he had one more shop to visit before they went
for lunch. He directed Sam to another shop and when they stopped outside
David was surprised to see it was a jeweller.

"I want to buy you a necklace" Jason whispered as they climbed out the
car. They made their way inside and Jason asked the assistant, who seemed
to know him, for their range of men's necklaces. He asked David to choose
one but they were all beautiful. He'd never owned such an item and for a
brief moment wondered what his father would say if he knew his son was to
wear jewellery. His father even refused to wear a wedding ring saying only
sissies wore them. In the end Jason picked one out and placed it round
David's neck. It was truly beautiful and had been almost the first one
David had picked up but the price was astronomical so he'd hastily put it
back. Jason could see he liked it so decided that was the one he'd buy for
the man of his dreams.

"We'll have it" Jason told the assistant and then suggested that David kept
it on so the assistant wrapped up an empty box and gave it to David.

"It's too much" David tried to say but he knew by now it was a waste of
time arguing.

"Do you like it?" Jason asked grinning knowing only too well what the
answer would be.

"I love it" David grinned, "and I love the man who's given it to me" he
added before kissing Jason right in front of the sales assistant. He smiled
as he processed Jason's credit card. He so loved it when two guys showed
their love for each other in public. He just wished his boyfriend would do
the same but the sale boosted his sales commission by leaps and bounds so
that made him even happier.

"Right time for lunch I think so drive us to The Plough please Sam". Sam
knew exactly which pub that was since they'd been there before and they did
great food. He also knew that he'd be invited to join them because that was
how Jason was; he had no airs and graces and treated everyone as equals
despite his money. Sam had soon found out that Jason was a good employer
provided you worked hard and were honest even when you made mistakes or
forgot things. Jason might chide you and pretend to be cross by playfully
slapping your butt but he knew really that he was a good bloke and he liked
his new lover who looked as if he was the one.

"You'll join us won't you Sam?" Jason asked as expected.

"Thank you sir". Jason laughed and pulled Sam up against him once he'd
locked the car and they walked towards the entrance.

"One of these days David I'll get this guy to stop calling me sir". David
chuckled rather enjoying the spectacle.

"I like calling you Sir, sir" Sam giggled.

"Okay; can see I'm not going to win this one" Jason laughed, "Come on let's
get some food inside you before you feint from starvation. This guy David
can eat like a horse and still want more. David and Sam grinned at each
other as Jason led the way into the bar. "The usual for you Sam?"

"Yes please...sir" Sam grinned. Jason told David to grab a free table
whilst he and Sam got the drinks. Having found one he perused the menu. At
least the prices were more what he was used to paying. When the other two
arrived with Sam's pint of beer and two pints of draught cider, David took
their orders for food and said he'd go to the bar and place the order. This
meal was going to be on him even though the money in his account had come
from Jason but it felt good to make the gesture.

"Thank you David" Jason said when he returned having realised he'd paid for
the food.

"Oh yes thank you sir" Sam beamed at David. He didn't know of David's
financial situation so assumed he'd been the kind provider of his meal
which meant another notch on David's post in Sam's eyes. As they waited for
the food to arrive Jason slipped a hand into David's lap and held his hand
that was resting on his knee.

Sam smiled seeing the two holding hands. "Wish I could get Robbie to be
more open in public; I rather like it and don't see why two blokes can't
show they love each other".

"Why do you think he won't?" David asked. Sam shrugged his shoulders.

"But he loves you all the same Sam" Jason said patting Sam's hand, "Not
everyone wants to be so open".

"Yeah, suppose you're right and he does love me I know that. I'm so happy
for you sir; you two are made for each other."

"Thank you Sam that's nice of you to say" Jason replied squeezing Sam's
hand as he did so. The trouble was that Sam had fancied Jason from the
first time he'd met him but knew he was way out of his league. That was
another reason why he called him sir because it reminded him of that fact,
otherwise he was afraid he'd overstep the mark one day by being too
familiar. Robert seemed to be able to flirt with Jason but still retain
sufficient deference to get away with it.

"Can I ask sir, have you known each other for long?" David said nothing
wondering how Jason would answer.

"We first met three years ago then lost contact with each other for a while
until we met up again a while ago so the answer to your question Sam is
about three years". David smiled to himself. Jason was able to make
everything so convincing. Besides, it was the truth but not quite as Sam
thought.


When they got back home Robert came out to meet them as Sam drew up at the
front door. David wondered how he knew they were arriving until Jason
explained that when the gates opened it bleeped his phone. He and Sam
emptied the boot and as they did so David noticed they gave each other a
quick kiss which he felt was rather nice. Robert took the purchases up to
Jason and David's room and unpacked them whilst Sam drove the car round to
the garage which was situated at the side of the house. Once done he
grabbed his items from the boot and ran upstairs to have another look at
them.

"Wow, whose been spoilt then?" Robert giggled when he found his boyfriend
trying on his designer jeans.

"He's so generous" Sam exclaimed, "I love him".

"What, more than me?" Robert teased him. Sam was easily teased and blushed
as he always did when he realised he'd dropped his foot in it.

"No of course not; I love you more than anything" Sam replied as he moved
up to Robert and kissed him. Robert loved it when his boyfriend said that
and pulled him into a passionate kiss. As they did so both felt the
reaction it was having on them.

"I need you to show me" Robert grinned as he led Sam to the bed. Sam took
the hint and started undressing his lover. He knew he liked him taking
charge when it came to having sex. It didn't take long to get him naked. He
too was soon in the same state of undress and had Robert beneath him with
his legs up in the air. Robert loved feeling Sam inside him especially
since they'd discarded the need for protection. They both agreed that flesh
against flesh felt so much more intimate and more satisfying following
their decision to have a monogamous relationship.


Downstairs Jason and David were having a cuddle on the sofa in the
lounge. When Robert eventually came in to ask what drinks they'd like,
Jason noticed a look of pleasure on his face. He grinned knowingly as he
asked Robert to get him and David a gin and tonic.

"What?" David grinned when Robert had gone into the kitchen.

"Robert and Sam have been enjoying themselves me thinks". David grinned
knowingly.

"Perhaps we should too". David laughed and stood up. He took hold of his
lover's hand and led him upstairs taking their drinks with them. This time
he wanted David to take charge so as soon as they were in their bedroom he
lay back on the bed looking expectantly. David took the hint and
immediately undressed him. Once naked he seductively removed his own
clothes whilst Jason watched. As always he gasped when he saw David's
nakedness. David then knelt across Jason and serviced the front of his
body. When he'd reached his prize and finished doing what he knew would
really turn Jason on, he flipped him over. Jason waited in anticipation as
to what was going to happen next. He soon found out as David knelt across
his legs. Once he felt David inside him he gasped and groaned with
pleasure. He loved the feel of his naked flesh, especially when he couldn't
see him in action.

"Oh god David that is awesome" Jason groaned as David pumped away. As he
did so he felt beneath Jason's body and took hold of what he knew would be
waiting for him. His hand and his buttocks worked in unison so by the time
he'd reached his climax Jason had reached his too. They both gasped
together as their bodies took over. When they were both complete, David
collapsed onto Jason's back and kissed him.

"Love you" he whispered. This time it was Jason who had tears in his eyes
as he told the man he adored that he loved him too.

Finally they showered, got dressed and went back downstairs carrying their
unfinished drinks. Robert came out of the kitchen just as they reached the
bottom of the stairs. He looked at them and grinned. He too recognised the
look of satisfaction on their faces.


6.

Aiden, Carl and Daniel were college friends of Jason so were all much the
same age. Carl and Daniel had become partners soon after leaving university
and now lived about ten miles away from Jason's house in Woodcote. Aiden
lived nearer to Oxford and was from old money. His father had been in the
House of Lords and in days gone by the family had been well off. Aiden was
always the centre of attention and flirted with men of all types. He'd
never found his perfect man and Jason often wondered whether he ever would
since he'd be all over a guy one day and then another the next. He doubted
whether any serious relationship would survive that. Jason liked Aiden very
much and always enjoyed his company but he was one of those guys where a
little went a long way. He certainly never envisaged having a long term
relationship with him despite Aiden's best efforts to do so.

Since Aiden lived the furthest away, Jason had invited him to stay over as
usual. Besides, knowing how much Aiden put away when it came to alcohol
he'd be in no fit state to drive home the same night. Carl and Daniel were
much more restrained but Jason insisted on Sam chauffeuring them so they
could drink and not have to drive home later than night.

Aiden arrived first as usual and made a grand entrance. Fortunately Jason
and David were ready so they were downstairs to greet him as soon as Robert
had shown him in. Both Robert and Sam had agreed to be butlers in the buff
for the evening just to spice things up so Robert opened the door wearing
just his black apron. Aiden loved it and swept Robert into his arms having
a good feel of his naked butt as he did so. Robert was used to Aiden so
took it in his stride. Sam had gone to fetch the other two guests and had
not yet returned.

"Hello darling" Aiden called out in his camp voice once he saw Jason. David
stood back and watched the two guys hug and kiss very passionately. To the
outsider you would have thought they were lovers but Jason had told David
all about Aiden to warn him so despite the very passionate kiss, he didn't
feel jealous although he could have done so quite easily.

"And you must be the gorgeous David" Aiden called, "Come and give me a big
hug and a kiss". Suddenly David found himself wrapped in Aiden's arms being
given the same treatment he'd just watched with Jason, even down to feeling
Aiden's crotch press against his very seductively.

"Did you wish to come up to your room sir or shall I just take your bag up
for you?" Robert said once the greetings were over.

"No just take it up for me darling; I take it I'm in my usual room". Robert
said he was and took Aiden's overnight bag upstairs leaving the other three
to move into the lounge.

"So how's the love life my darlings?" Aiden asked once they'd removed
themselves from the hall, "You both look very happy so I assume all is
well". Aiden never held back and as Jason had found out in the past wanted
to know every tiny detail.

David felt his face go slightly red but Jason pulled him up to him and
wrapped an arm round his waist. "We are fine and all is well, isn't it my
love?" David nodded not too sure how to answer.

"Well, you said he was good looking Jason but I think you were understating
things; he's absolutely gorgeous." David felt his face go even redder but
as usual Jason took the heat off him by asking Aiden what state his love
life was in at present. "Oh you know darling, they come and they go but I
have found a gorgeous Brazilian. He's only eighteen and I picked him up
when I went to Rio a few months ago. He's absolutely beautiful and is an
amazing cook so he's my houseboy come boyfriend."

"What happened to the other guy you had?" Jason asked although he could
guess what had transpired.

"Oh I got bored with him so he went; a shame really because he was
brilliant in bed but Lucas is just as good." He was just about to go into
detail when Robert appeared to say that Carl and Daniel had arrived. Jason
went out to greet them at the front door leaving David and Aiden to their
own devices.

"I understand you're a ballet dancer" Aiden said sidling up to David as
soon as Jason had gone. David said he was although he'd given up
professional dancing due to an accident. "Oh what a shame darling I was so
hoping to see you dancing for us in your tight leotard showing it all off
for us." David just grinned and felt Aiden's hand rubbing up and down his
buttocks. Jason was right, the guy flirts continuously.

Soon Jason returned and introduced Carl and Daniel who seemed much more
restrained and normal for David to cope with. They all hugged and gave each
other a simple kiss on the cheek before sitting down in readiness for
Robert to serve champagne that had been waiting on ice for their arrival. A
few minutes later Sam appeared, now dressed down to his butler in the buff
black apron, carrying a tray of canapés.

"Ooh how lovely, another naked bum to admire" Aiden giggled as he took
something from Sam's tray and felt his naked flesh behind. Sam also knew
Aiden from previous visits so took it all in his stride before moving round
the room to offer the others something.


The meal was delicious and everyone congratulated Robert and Sam on their
culinary skills. Aiden continued to flirt with both of them whenever he
could but on the whole he behaved and the meal went well. Having had coffee
and brandy at the table preceded by cheese and biscuits to finish off the
meal, they made their way back into the lounge for more drinks. David
noticed that Aiden could certainly put it away yet he remained sober. He'd
made particular care to sit beside David on the sofa leaving the other sofa
for Carl and Daniel who hardly left each other's side. Aiden knew they were
an inseparable pair so had given up long ago to try and flirt seriously
with either of them. To be honest he found them a bit too staid for his
taste but he definitely enjoyed David's company as well as feeling him up
whenever he could. Jason sat opposite them and looked on amused. He knew
David could handle Aiden so was not concerned.

At around eleven, Carl and Daniel said they should make a move so Sam was
called to drive them home. Both he and Robert had changed out of their
butler in the buff costume by now much to Aiden's disappointment since he
had rather hoped he might have got the apron off each of them. Once Carl
and Daniel had said their goodbyes and thanked Jason and David for a lovely
evening the other three relaxed back with yet more drinks.

"I think they're still as much in love as they were when they first met"
Aiden said with slight sorrow in his voice as if he expected couples to
fall out of love after a while. Jason agreed they were and hoped he and
David would be too as time passed by. "Oh I'm sure you will" he giggled as
he placed a hand at the top of David's thigh and slowly moved it to his
goal. Jason and David looked at each other and grinned. David relaxed back
in his seat having decided to let Aiden have his fun since he had a feeling
the more he resisted the more he would keep trying.

Seeing Aiden's interest in David, Jason moved forward and knelt between
them. Using both hands in unison he unfastened David and Aiden's trousers
to give Aiden the access he desired and for himself to pleasure him. Aiden
took the hint and immediately bent over to take what he wanted into his
mouth whilst Jason did the same to him. David and Aiden groaned and moaned
their pleasure as the two mouths set to work. As he serviced the Aiden,
Jason unfastened his trousers to release his own. After several minutes of
hot sucking, both David and Aiden were reaching their climax. Once done,
Aiden wanted to taste Jason so he told him to stand up to give him
access. Whilst he did so, Jason bent forward and pulled David into a
passionate kiss. David could taste Aiden's juices as they kissed which
added to the enjoyment. The deep passionate kiss caused Jason to grab hold
of Aiden's head with his spare hand and press it further onto his erection
until he was right down Aiden's throat. It wasn't long before Aiden could
feel Jason shooting down his throat and it felt so good. Once he'd sucked
Jason dry he released him and grinned.

"Wow that was beautiful; you two can sure shoot a load". Jason pulled him
into his kiss with David and for several minutes they continued a three-way
kiss. David could now taste his lover in Aiden's mouth which added to his
enjoyment.

Finally they released each other and decided it was time to go to
bed. Aiden had a feeling that he was going to sleep alone but accepted it
with good grace as they made their way upstairs and kissed each other
goodnight.


The following morning Jason and David had just finished making passionate
love when Robert knocked on the door to bring in their morning cup of
tea. The two guys in bed were still locked together with David lying behind
Jason. Robert recognised the look of satisfaction on each of their faces
and grinned as he placed their tea on the bedside table.

"Is Aiden awake?" Jason asked.

"Very much so" Robert grinned having just escaped being dragged into
Aiden's bed and stripped naked by him to service his morning wood.


After breakfast Aiden left to go home but not before giving David and Jason
another passionate kiss and hug with hands exploring every part of their
bodies. He was desperate to have an opportunity to get to know David more
intimately so he invited both of them to stay with him for a night before
they went back to London. He wouldn't take no for an answer so Jason agreed
knowing precisely what he had in mind. Aiden had an indoor swimming pool
and invariably used that as an excuse to get his guys naked and go from
there. He even had a notice on the entrance door to the pool that said
'Strictly no clothes beyond this point' which always amused Jason since it
was so obvious. Since Jason enjoyed swimming naked in warm water he always
enjoyed going and he had a feeling David would too.


The rest of their time in the country went quietly. Whilst Jason dealt with
business emails and phone calls, David spent the time making lists in
readiness for the school of dance. Phil had already undertaken a
feasibility study for the venture and it seemed there was very much a need
for such a school of dance for young guys who couldn't afford the usual
fees or were unable to obtain grants. He'd also found a possible venue in
Fulham so David had emailed him to arrange a viewing on their return to
London. His next task was to list out the equipment they'd need so that
Phil could search for the best prices. David also decided that he wanted a
standard form of dress so that nobody felt different. He'd supply the
clothing the trainees would wear although each student would pay for this
according to their means. As usual, they would wear men's ballet tights
which would be black, with a dance belt beneath. Jason was intrigued to
know what these were so David explained they were basically a type of thong
that held the guy's manhood in place. "Mm, very sexy" Jason giggled rather
looking forward to seeing David in his once he'd purchased them. He'd lost
all his gear when he had to move out of his bedsit so now had nothing. To
complete the getup he opted for white T shirts and a leather split-sole
ballet slipper.

The more David worked on the project, the more he became excited at the
thought of getting back into the business, even if it meant he'd not be
dancing professionally. However, he was concerned about how much all this
was going to cost but Jason had told him cost was not a problem since the
whole venture would be offset against profits from other more profitable
businesses thus saving on tax. The world of finance was beyond David so he
left it to Jason and Ray to deal with such matters. Jason had also insisted
that David had an assistant since it would be too much for him to handle on
his own. David had thought the same and had made a list of possible guys he
could contact assuming he could find them. He had one particular guy in
mind he'd love to work with and if he could find him he had a feeling he
would jump at the opportunity since he had never been that interested in
becoming a top dancer. He was particularly interested in theory which was
the area David felt least confident in teaching. He could teach the
practice standing on his head but when it came to theory that was another
matter. Paul would be perfect; all he now had to do was track him down.

As usual Phil came to the rescue and found Paul. When David made the call,
Paul was speechless. "Oh my god" Paul exclaimed, "David where have you been
all this time? I tried to contact you but nobody knew where you were".

"It's a long story but the accident knocked me back and my life came apart
to say the least". Paul had always felt guilty about what had happened
since it had been him who'd arranged the party that had led to that
disastrous night. When David asked what Paul was doing now he sensed
immediately that he wasn't very happy with things. As he'd suspected, Paul
had decided not to become a professional dancer since he knew he couldn't
cope with the pressures so had gone into teaching but had so far not found
the perfect job. When David explained his proposal, Paul jumped at the
idea. They agreed to meet up as soon as David got back to London.

"And who is this gorgeous man you've found" Paul giggled. He'd always had
his eyes on David but had never had the nerve to do anything about
it. Whilst they trained he'd not even come out although David had known he
was gay. Paul had been too afraid of his family's reaction but eventually
he did drop the bombshell and to his surprise his parents accepted his
sexuality without question.

David told him about Jason and how much in love he was with him. Paul was
envious but happy for him. "And what about you; have you found the man of
your dreams?" Paul laughed and said he did have a boyfriend but he doubted
he was the man.

"It's lovely to hear from you David and I'm so glad to hear things have
finally sorted out for you; really look forward to joining your new
venture." David smiled, Paul was convinced it was all going ahead and
hadn't even asked about what he'd be paid which was something David had to
think about but he'd meet him first and find out what he was earning. When
David had ended the call he went to find Jason. He was feeling so happy and
wanted to share his happiness with the man he loved.

"You're looking very happy with yourself" Jason giggled as David wrapped
his arms round him. David told him his news and Jason kissed him saying
that was great news since he'd been slightly concerned about David not
having an assistant he could trust. "I look forward to meeting Paul".

"You'll like him, he's a lovely guy and he'll be brilliant with the
students".


Their time in Woodcote seemed to fly by and they were soon on their way to
Aiden near Oxford. David felt so much better from the country air and
Robert's good food. He was now ready for the challenges ahead and his new
life around running the dance school. One thing he was certain of was that
in no way could he do it without Jason's support apart from the financial
aspect.

Aiden lived in a house not as grand as Jason's, which surprised David since
he'd expected something even grander but from what he could make out Aiden
lived off the income from money that he'd inherited following the death of
his father a few years previous due to a severe heart attack. It seemed his
father had been a heavy drinker and smoker. The country estate had been
sold off so all that now remained was the land which was managed by tenant
farmers. According to Aiden he didn't know anything about farming or which
end of a cow to milk so had to rely on others. His mother now lived in a
modest house on the old estate and the large house had been sold off to a
company for their headquarters. However, Aiden seemed happy enough and
enjoyed life to the full.

"Hello darlings" he bellowed as soon as Jason had pulled up outside the
house, which did have its own drive similar to Croft House. Apart from that
it had no similarities but did have a large extension on the back which
housed the indoor swimming pool. As before he hugged and kissed each of
them pressing his body up against theirs. David could already feel Aiden's
hardness pressing against his crotch. It seemed the guy was always
hard. "Come on in and the lovely Lucas will deal with your bags".

As they moved into the small hallway, a small Brazilian lad stood in a
doorway that led into the kitchen. He must only have been around five foot
but he had a lovely smile. "Come on boy, come and meet the gorgeous Jason
and David". Lucas moved forward with a slight hesitancy and greeted
them. "Go on give him a hug and a kiss, he loves that don't you" Aiden
giggled as he pushed Lucas up against David first of all. David hugged
Lucas who immediately wrapped his arms round him and offered his mouth for
a kiss. David found him rather cute so was happy to do so. Lucas then moved
to Jason and received the same treatment before running outside to fetch
their bags from the car.

"Isn't he cute?" Aiden chuckled once Lucas had run off. The other two
nodded and waited for Lucas to return with the bags so that Jason could
lock the car with the remote. "Now be a darling and take David and Jason up
to their room and then we'll have lunch. Lucas is wonderful in the kitchen
as well as in bed aren't you my love". Lucas just grinned. He was now used
to Aiden's ways and never minded what he said.

The guest room was small but sufficient for their needs. Lucas wasn't as
well trained as Robert so they had to unpack the few things they needed
themselves after he'd shown them where the bathroom was situated down the
hall. It seemed none of the rooms had en-suite facilities and from what
David could see there were only three bedrooms in total so it was
considerably smaller than Croft House. Once they'd freshened up they made
their way downstairs to find Aiden in the lounge. There was a small dining
room and the kitchen was large enough to accommodate a small table which
Aiden and Lucas used to eat at when on their own.

Once they'd sat down Lucas appeared wearing a G string. Neither David nor
Jason commented but he certainly had a nice body so they could see why
Aiden found him attractive. Jason predicted that even the G string would
disappear before the day was out once they'd all been divested of their
clothes to go swimming. He'd warned David of what was likely to happen but
David had said he was happy to go along with things.

Once Lucas had served the wine and then offered round a plate of sandwiches
and portions of quiche, Aiden pulled him towards him. "Come and sit on
Daddy's lap you gorgeous thing". Lucas just grinned and sat astride Aiden
as he ate. David noticed that every so often Aiden's hand would explore the
G string and its contents which seemed to be growing by the minute.

They remained chatting for quite some time and at intervals Lucas was
despatched to clear away the empty plates and replenish the glasses with
wine. Late afternoon, Aiden suggested they all had a swim. "Now I take it
Jason has told you my rule when it comes to swimming" he directed at David.

"Yes, I understand it's a no clothes area" David grinned. Aiden nodded and
felt his body react with excitement at the thought of seeing the lovely
David naked. He suggested they stripped off in the lounge and walk naked to
the pool area. Once he'd stripped off, he unfastened Lucas's G string and
tossed it to one side. Four naked bodies then made their way to the
pool. Aiden as usual was already showing excitement between his legs but
the others remained unmoved for the time being.

David had to admit that swimming naked in the warm water was indeed a
pleasure. Aiden took great delight in coming up behind him and groping him
whenever he had the opportunity but David let him have his fun. He did the
same to Jason when he could and it wasn't long before they all had
erections flying high. Lucas was full on in no time and Aiden loved lifting
him over his shoulder and smacking his naked butt before throwing him back
into the water. Lucas seemed to love it and each time would bob up from the
depths below grinning and wanting more. Eventually Aiden sat him on the
edge of the pool and serviced his erection much to Lucas's delight. He also
seemed to have great capacity for reaching another climax shortly after the
previous one.

David had noticed large sun bed mattresses on the side of the pool and
guessed what they'd be used for in due course. As predicted, Aiden told
them all to climb out and go over to the mattresses. He told Lucas to go on
his knees and within seconds he was taking him from behind. He then told
Jason to take him from behind whilst David stood across Lucas's body so he
could suck him off. Having prepared himself, Jason did as instructed. Aiden
then penetrated Lucas with one thrust and then impaled himself on Jason as
he moved back whilst servicing the organ in his mouth. David looked at
Jason and grinned with a resigned expression.


Having showered the three of them got dressed but Lucas was told to remain
naked for the duration of the evening whilst he served dinner and then
coffee and drinks in the lounge afterwards. Once he'd cleared away the
dishes he came back in and settled into Aiden's lap which seemed to be his
normal position whenever he relaxed. David found Lucas to be a sweet guy
and soon realised that he doted on Aiden so was not the slightest bit
embarrassed over whatever he did with him. If anything he rather enjoyed
the attention.

Finally it was time to go to bed and Jason and David made their way
upstairs leaving the other two sitting in the lounge. They were glad to be
on their own and were soon in bed making passionate love to each other.

"Sorry you've had to endure Aiden my love". David grinned and said he
didn't mind but had to agree he was certainly quite a character.

The following morning they thanked Aiden for his hospitality and made their
way back to London. David couldn't wait even though he'd enjoyed the past
two weeks in the country.


7.

David had invited Paul over for a meal to discuss their new venture
together. When he arrived the commissionaire sent him up in the lift and
David met him in the outer hallway. As soon as he stepped out of the lift
he ran into David's arms. They embraced for several minutes before either
spoke. For a moment, David's mind jumped back to that fateful night when
he'd last seen Paul.

"Oh David, it's so wonderful to see you again; I've been thinking about you
so much since that awful night; I tried and tried to find you but you
disappeared off the face of the earth; where did you go for so long?"

"It was a horrendous time and I went into a state of isolation; I just
couldn't get over the thought that I'd never dance again."

"Oh god, David, and I feel so responsible for organising the party for you;
I'm so very sorry." By now tears were pouring down each of their faces but
neither did anything to stop them. It seemed necessary to let it all out
before they could move on.

"You mustn't blame yourself Paul; it was me that caused the accident after
all but everything has turned out okay in the end even though it has taken
three years to do so." They embraced again and kissed several times
over. Not passionately since they'd never been sexual partners but great
friends almost like brothers. They were very much alike in lots of ways and
would never have made a relationship work but as friends they'd been
inseparable. It was one of the few regrets in David's life that he'd lost
contact with Paul but soon after the accident he'd gone away on a tour
abroad and by the time he was back David was homeless and incommunicado.

"Anyhow, come and meet Jason". Paul followed David into the inner hall and
gasped.

"Wow, this is beautiful" he commented as David took his overcoat and hung
it up in the hall cupboard.

"Jason, I'd like you to meet my friend Paul". Jason moved forward and
embraced Paul giving him a peck on the cheek to welcome him. He could tell
just by the way Paul moved that he was a dancer. He moved with same grace
and elegance just like David which was one of the many things he loved
about him.

"Come and sit down Paul and I'll get you a drink; what would you like,
we've got most things". Paul opted for a fruit juice saying that since that
terrible night three years ago he'd not touched a drop of alcohol.

"I just couldn't trust myself again since I keep telling myself that if I'd
been sober I would have looked after this wonderful guy."

"Things happen in life which sometimes you can't do much about Paul and I'm
sure David won't want you to beat yourself up over it." As Jason said this
he pulled his love into his arms. Paul had no doubt they were very much in
love and he was so happy for his best friend.

"He's gorgeous" Paul whispered as soon as Jason had disappeared into the
kitchen to fetch the fruit juice for him. David grinned and nodded. "Where
did you find him?"

"He found me when I was at my lowest and has helped me come alive again"

"I'm so happy for you David, I really am; I can't believe I'm sitting here
beside you again; I've missed you so much." David was overcome with emotion
again and more tears fell down his face as he gently kissed Paul on the
cheek just as Jason came back in with the fruit juice. He'd no idea how
much David meant to Paul or vice versa and he rather liked what he saw. He
could see there was nothing sexual about their relationship, just pure
friendship.

As they sat and sipped their drinks, Jason asked Paul what he was doing now
with regards to work. Paul explained that when he returned from the tour
abroad he knew without doubt that he didn't want to be a performer like
David so had gone into teaching.

"I took a job for a while down in Southampton near where my parents live
but that was a disaster so I left. I then had another in Bristol but that
school didn't last long so I was out of work again, then I came back to
London and found this job in Battersea but the woman who runs the school is
a complete bitch and to be honest I'm sick and tired of trying to teach
little brats who think they're perfect and don't want to be told where
they're going wrong and their parents think the sun shines out of you know
where so they're just as bad. I really am sick of it so your new venture is
very appealing."

David then explained more about what he had in mind regarding the school
and Paul's role. Paul was very excited by the time he'd finished.

"To be teaching disadvantaged pupils who want to learn will be so much more
rewarding than what I'm doing at present so I'm definitely in if you want
me." David explained they'd be restricting it to males from age sixteen
upwards to overcome the problems of having to provide time for general
schooling even though that might mean having to teach guys who'd done no
dancing at all. "But that's what makes it more interesting; if they want to
learn and they have the ability then it's much more rewarding."

"And you don't think we should open it up to female students as well" Jason
asked. Paul agreed with David that many young guys feel inhibited when
classes are dominated with girls so to only teach guys was definitely the
best option.

They then discussed pay and conditions and Paul was more than happy to
accept what David had in mind which was much the same as he was earning at
present. Jason asked where he lived and he explained he had a small flat in
Battersea just across the river so if the premises in Fulham were
satisfactory then it was perfect since he could get there easily.

"And how much notice do you have to give your present employer?" Jason
asked. Paul laughed and explained that the 'bitch' as he called her, hadn't
even given him a contract despite him asking for one over the past year so
in theory he could leave immediately but he'd play fair and give her one
week. He added that he'd told her that he had urgent business to attend to
the following day when David and Jason were viewing the premises so he was
available to join them if that was okay.

"Well, I think we're happy to have Paul join us aren't we Jason?"

"You're the boss on this one my love so it's your choice; I'm only a
sleeping partner providing the cash so you have whoever you feel is right
to join you" Jason laughed. David grinned and leaned over to kiss his lover
whilst Paul looked on.

"In that case Paul, the job is yours if you want it".

"You bet, thanks guys I can't wait to get started". David added that he'd
probably want Paul to play the piano during the practical lessons since
he'd be teaching the moves. Paul said he was happy to do that and still had
his electronic piano at home on which he practiced regularly. "Do you still
play David?"

Jason looked at David amazed. "What, David plays the piano?"

"Oh yes, he's far more accomplished than me".

"You never told me that" Jason chuckled taking David's hand into his. David
shrugged his shoulders. The piano was yet another thing he'd had to give up
when he was evicted from his room. "Right, tomorrow we're going to go to
Chappell in Wardour Street to buy you a piano; I love listening to someone
playing the piano; I take it you can still play?"

"Of course he will be able to" Paul laughed, "It's like riding a bike you
never forget; especially David; if he hadn't wanted to do ballet he'd have
been a top class classical pianist".

"Well, well, I'd never have thought that" Jason smiled wondering what else
he didn't know about the man he loved. "Are there any other skills I should
know about?" David again shrugged his shoulders and grinned.

"And where are we going to put a piano?" David chuckled. Jason said there
was plenty of room in the living room provided it wasn't a grand. David
laughed, he certainly wasn't going to let Jason buy a grand piano but he
might be persuaded to let him get an electronic piano since that could be
played with ear phones to avoid bothering the neighbours. Not that they had
any since they were the only apartment on the top floor and the noise
insulation down below was top quality.

"And how's your love life?" David grinned. Paul grimaced and said he did
have a boyfriend at present but he didn't think it would last that long.

"He's a lovely guy and brilliant in bed but we don't share the same
interests so it's difficult at times. You're a lucky guy Jason; this one
here is the best." Jason said he was well aware of that and pulled David
into another kiss which made him blush as usual. He so wasn't used to being
loved whilst others looked on despite liking it and knowing that Jason
really did love him. Paul smiled. "I'm very pleased for you; I can see
you're both madly in love with each other and to be honest I'm slightly
envious".

"How are your mum and dad?" David asked trying to get the topic away from
him. Paul said they were fine on the whole although his dad had recently
suffered angina so had to take things easily now.

"At least they've now accepted their one and only son is a poof so that's
something" he laughed. "I take it your dad hasn't changed?" David shook his
head and said he no longer had anything to do with the guy. "How about your
folks Jason?" He explained that his parents had accepted his sexuality and
seemed happy although they hadn't yet met David.

"We plan to spend Christmas with them so they'll get to meet him then; to
be honest I've not really said much about him yet since I prefer to do
these things face to face."

"So it could be an interesting Christmas" David laughed.

"They will love you" Jason replied placing an arm round his lover, "Once
I've beaten them into the ground" he added laughing. David looked at him
wondering if he was joking but from what Jason had said about his parents
he'd always felt they would accept him but time would tell.

David said it was time to eat so he jumped up and went off into the kitchen
to do the final preparation to the hotpot he'd made earlier. He'd decided
that was nice and easy and warming for an autumnal evening.


"That was delicious" Paul exclaimed once he'd cleaned his plate, "He
certainly hasn't lost his culinary skills I can see; when we were at the
dance school everyone relied on David to do the cooking since the rest of
us were hopeless and would have died of hunger without him".

"He's exaggerating as usual" David giggled but Jason wasn't so sure. He too
had found David's skills in more ways than one were far more than he tended
to admit. The more he lived with him the more he was amazed at how many
talents his lover had hidden away.


It was late by the time Paul said he should be making a move so Jason
invited him to stay over saying they had a guest room already prepared and
could provide Paul with whatever he needed in the way of toiletries. After
much consideration he accepted and David showed him to the room they always
had prepared.

"Thank you for a wonderful evening David" Paul said once they were in the
bedroom on their own, "I've really enjoyed it and meeting Jason; he really
is gorgeous" he whispered.

"Sorry, he's taken" David giggled as he pulled Paul into an embrace
somewhat more passionate than he normally did but he was so pleased to see
the guy again and he'd probably had more wine than he should have done. He
hadn't drunk alcohol for the past three years and Jason seemed to always
have wine open so he was drinking far more these days. It was something he
had to watch because in no way was he going to cause another accident like
last time. Paul certainly didn't mind and joined in the embrace and the
kiss that followed. He felt a hardness form down below as he did so but
knew that any chance of having that satisfied was out of the question so it
would have to be a hand job.

"Sleep tight and see you in the morning" David said as he finally pulled
out of the embrace.

"He's a lovely guy" Jason commented once David had joined him in their
bedroom down the hallway, "I think you'll work well together." David so
hoped so since he wanted this venture to be a success even if it wasn't
going to make money.


The following morning after they'd had a leisurely breakfast, they made
their way to the premises in Fulham. Paul was very impressed with the
Mercedes which Jason decided to use since there was a small off street
parking area at the back of the premises.

When they arrived the agent was already waiting for them. After
introductions he unlocked the main door and led them in. The space
available consisted of two floors above a row of shops which had previously
been used by a language school. The first floor had a large room that would
make an ideal classroom for Paul, an office for David and an area next to
the toilets that could be converted into a changing room with
showers. David also wanted a room in which students could wash their tights
and dance belts if they wished to avoid having to do them at home. Paul
felt that was an excellent idea since many students may not want to have
such items laundered at home if there were family issues over their being
ballet dancers. David had certainly had such issues and his father had
refused to have the items hanging up for others to see. The second floor
was one large space that would make an ideal dance studio.

Both David and Paul felt the space was perfect and it was near to Fulham
Broadway underground station so would be easy for students to get
to. Having indicated to Jason that they'd like to take the space, he
negotiated the rent since neither David nor Paul was experienced in such
matters. They were both fascinated at the way Jason conducted the
negotiation and ended up with a lower rent than advertised plus agreement
for the landlord to pay for the redecoration of the whole area. All they
had to do was pay for the installation of the showers and put in a suitable
floor in the dance studio. The agent said the lease would be available for
signing within two days.

David and Paul left feeling so excited, especially since the first property
they had seen was so perfect although to be fair Phil had sifted out the
unsuitable ones and put this at the top of his list. After lunch Jason took
them to Chappell to look at pianos. They opted for electronic for various
reasons so Jason purchased two having negotiated a discount for them. One
was for the apartment and the other for the dance studio. They were
delivered the following day although the second one had to be stored for
the time being until the studio was up and running. As Jason listened to
David try different models out in the showroom he was amazed at how
accomplished he was. It was if he'd been playing constantly for the past
three years.

"Told you he was good didn't I" Paul grinned seeing Jason's face. Even Paul
was good but Jason could tell from his little knowledge of such things that
David had a much softer touch. He seemed to take the listener into another
dimension as he played without the need for any music in front of
him. Everything had flooded back and David felt the last three years had
never happened. He loved playing and had he not also loved dancing he would
undoubtedly have been a concert pianist. He'd often thought that perhaps he
should have gone that route after the accident but the love of dancing
always kept coming back. When Jason had settled the bill, which included
piano stools for each instrument as well, David hugged and kissed him much
to the assistant's amusement. He could tell from his own Gaydar that the
three guys were gay, which was one of the reasons he'd agreed so easily to
a discount despite knowing his manager would probably berate him for giving
one but it wasn't often he sold two instruments at that value plus stools
within one afternoon in the current climate.

As promised, the agent emailed over the lease to be signed by David two
days later. Since a Limited company was in the process of being set up for
the dance studio Ray had suggested the lease be in the name of David's main
company. It also assisted with tax apparently but David couldn't see quite
how. All he was interested in was that he now had a studio to set up the
David James School of Dance. He called Paul and told him the good news so
he immediately gave his boss the letter of resignation which he'd already
prepared. The next day he called David to say that she was furious and said
he was a traitor. Quite how Paul couldn't work out but that was the way she
was. She'd told him to pack his bags and leave that day so he said goodbye
to his students and did just that. One particular guy was very upset at
seeing him go and asked him on the side where he was going. Not wanting to
be too forthcoming since he'd deliberately not told his boss what he was
going to do so as to avoid her putting the spanner in the works until it
was up and running, he gave the guy his email address and said to contact
him within a few days. At least he forced her to pay him the week's notice
he'd given plus three weeks' holiday she refused to let him have earlier in
the year so he came away having been paid four weeks. Jason put him on the
payroll with immediate effect so he was more than happy.

Since Paul was now available, he and David went to their new studio to
measure things up and work out how they wanted things. A builder had
already been found to do the work so following an onsite meeting with him
the work soon began. Phil had already sourced where to purchase what they
needed in the way of furniture and other supplies so orders were placed
ready to be delivered once the building work had been completed and the
whole place redecorated.

Within four weeks everything was done including the new floor in the
studio, the mirrors and exercise Barre. Lockers had also been fitted into
the changing area for the students with the new showers off to one
side. The furniture for the classroom and the office had also been
delivered so they were ready to open. David couldn't believe how quickly
things had taken place and just hoped they could find suitable
students. Jason had said to hold off advertising since he felt it would be
better to have everything in place so they could take photos and use these
for the adverts. The guy to whom Paul had given his email address had made
contact and once he found out where Paul was going to be teaching he left
the other studio along with two other students. Paul also knew of three
lads who'd been refused entry to his old studio because they couldn't
afford the fees so he contacted them and they too were very interested and
eager to see the school open for business.

The advertising went far better than anyone had predicted and they were
soon receiving applications from a wide range of guys. Once it became known
in the world of ballet that David James had set up his own dance studio he
had all kinds of calls asking for interviews and quotes. Even the Academy
was interested and was willing to recommend him since they knew of his
dancing ability and knowledge. David couldn't believe the level of interest
but he stuck to his original premise that the school was mainly for the
disadvantaged so as to give guys who either couldn't afford the fees or
were from families who didn't approve of their sons becoming ballet
dancers, an opportunity to achieve their dreams.

He and Paul spent a whole week undertaking interviews and pouring over
applications. Each one they invited for interview they questioned their
motive for wanting to dance and those who made the second round were
invited back for physical checks to make sure they didn't have anything
wrong that could affect their dancing career. Paul said they should get
each student to strip down to their T shirt and briefs so as to check their
legs and just see how they moved and behaved. One or two seemed very uneasy
about standing in their underpants in front of the two guys so they were
put on the no-go list since to do modern dance, which was what David had in
mind, they had to be prepared to dance wearing very skimpy costumes often
showing far more flesh than normal and feel relaxed about changing in front
of others in an open changing room. Paul and David enjoyed their time doing
those interviews!

Finally they'd chosen twenty students having worked on the basis that two
or more may drop out once they realised how rigorous the training was.


8.

It was two weeks before Christmas so David decided to hold two days of
initiation training for their new students and to issue them with their
tights, dance belts, T shirts and ballet slippers. They'd taken a note of
sizes at the time of interview so had bought in a stock of the items
required. When David talked to them about wearing a dance belt in place of
underwear, several of the younger lads giggled. One particular lad, who'd
been on Paul's list of rejects from his old studio, had agreed to model his
in front of the group. Tom was eighteen and from a difficult family
background. His father was an alcoholic and David had the feeling often
physically abused his son, and his mother was a drug addict and didn't
support her son in his wish to be a dancer. The father considered Tom to be
a useless lump of meat so David could tell that he would need a lot of
support. It reminded him so much of his own situation at home so he was
determined to help the lad who seemed so keen and determined to become a
successful dancer like David had wanted. He'd also commented to David and
Paul at his interview that he was gay which hadn't gone down too well with
his father either so that made David's mind up on the spot since he could
relate only too well with the lad.

When Tom appeared from the changing room wearing his white T shirt and
dance belt, one of the other students sniggered which was soon followed by
one or two others.

"Do you have a problem Oliver?" David called out, "Stand up lad tell us all
what you are feeling". Oliver immediately blushed and tried to hide but
David asked him to come to the front so that everyone could see him. He'd
sussed the kind of lad Oliver was at the interviews. He came from a
reasonably well off family who were paying the full training fees, not that
any student knew who was and who wasn't, but he exuded an air of
arrogance. Paul had been in two minds whether or not to offer him a place
but David could see the lad had potential provided it could be harnessed so
he decided to shame Oliver from the start rather than let him get away with
trying to consider he was a cut above everyone else.

"Did you not know Oliver that this is the normal dress for a dancer; nobody
wants to see the line of your pants beneath your tights or for that matter
the line of your manhood if you don't wear anything beneath them." The
latter comment caused a ripple of laughter throughout the room which made
Oliver blush again. David looked at the lad waiting for an answer.

"Um, guess I didn't sir" he eventually replied realising that David wasn't
going to let him slide out of this one.

"There we are then guys, we've learned something today so if you'd like to
come up and collect your gear you can go to the changing room and get into
it. Oh, and thank you Tom for showing us how the dance belt should be worn;
as you can see guys it's similar to a thong." Paul smiled at the way David
had dealt with Oliver and smiled even more when he noticed several guys
having a good look at Tom's naked backside, which he had to agree, was
somewhat delectable.

Oliver collected his allocated pile of clothes which included a second set
for wearing when the other set was being washed, and slunk off to the
changing room. He wasn't sure he wanted to strip naked in front of the
other guys to put the dance belt on but could see no way round it.

"Think young Oliver is going to be a handful" Paul whispered once they'd
all gone to the changing room. David grinned and nodded. "Time will
tell". After a while, Paul wandered along to the changing room to see how
things were progressing. Several guys were still getting into their dance
belts so he had a good show of naked butts whilst others had hastily
changed and got their tights on as quickly as possible.

"You'll have to get used to changing in front of your fellow performers" he
commented as he walked amongst them, "Until you become an A star dancer you
share a communal dressing room" he chuckled.

"Did you reach that level sir?" one lad asked.

"Sadly not but David did and had he not been involved in a serious road
accident he'd be at the top of his game now so you're all very lucky to
have him as your teacher." Several of the older guys, the ages ranged from
sixteen to twenty, nodded and said they'd seen David James dance and he was
fantastic. This at least made some of the younger ones look on with awe
when they went up to the studio for David to give them some basic exercises
to do over the Christmas period before they started in earnest in the New
Year.

The next day was spent with Paul who went through some basic theory and
what they'd be learning throughout their training as well as giving them
homework for over the Christmas break.

One of the shops beneath them was a take-away that sold sandwiches and a
whole host of other things to eat so most of the students went down there
to purchase what they wanted for lunch but they'd been told they must
always slip on a pair of jeans or tracksuit bottoms before they left the
premises. David certainly didn't want people gawping at them in the street
in just ballet tights or wearing their ballet slippers off the premises.

The shop owner was delighted to suddenly find he had a source of regular
customers but David noticed as time went by that Tom seldom went down to
buy anything. He guessed he didn't have the money to spend so he'd slip him
a sandwich and a banana when nobody was looking. Tom always smiled
appreciatively and was forever grateful. He was always willing to do
whatever task was asked of him whether it was simply fetching or carrying
or being used by David to show how to do a particular step or move.


The day after the school had closed for the Christmas break Jason came home
in the afternoon and sensed that Len, the commissionaire on duty that
particular day, was looking down in the dumps. When Jason asked if
everything was okay, Len sighed so he stayed at reception and chatted for a
while.

"It's my son Rory" Len finally explained, "he's been made redundant from
the driving job he had; god knows what he's going to do now or how he's
going to afford to pay for his flat; it's only small but he loves it and I
certainly can't put him up in my place." Jason had learnt from previous
talks with Len that Rory was his only son and they got on well together. It
seemed Len and his wife had divorced when Rory was quite young so Len had
raised the lad who was now twenty two.

"He enjoys driving does he?"

Len nodded. "He loves it; he's a bit of a loner so likes his own company
but he's good with people and most find him very amicable and
helpful". Jason nodded whilst a thought went through his mind. "He doesn't
have many friends either and he's not interested in women, if you know what
I mean sir" Len added smiling knowingly.

"You mean he's gay?"

"Think so but he's never actually said anything, at least not to me, not
that I'd be upset or anything; all I want is him to be happy in life but
I'm not sure he's even got any boyfriends either." Jason said leave it to
him and he'd see what he could do for Rory in the way of employment. Len
beamed. He knew only too well that Jason had his own companies and was a
very fair guy so if Rory could get a job with him then that would be
brilliant.

"Are you on duty tomorrow Len?" Jason asked as he moved away. Len said he
was. "Will have another word tomorrow then but don't say anything to Rory
for the moment just in case I come up with a blank".

"Thank you sir; thank you very much", Len beamed as Jason made his way
towards the lift.


When Jason had got into the apartment and given his lover a big hug and a
kiss, Jason sat down beside David.

"Now that you'll be going to the studio most days I'm wondering if it would
be an idea to employ a chauffeur to ferry us around; what do you think?"
David was happy to use public transport but Jason had always insisted he
use the taxi service which was on the company account. He looked at Jason
guessing there was an ulterior motive. Even in the short time he'd known
Jason he'd picked up on little things like that.

"What has brought this on my love?" David smiled. Jason grinned knowing
David had sussed him out so he told David about Rory.

"If we employed him as a chauffeur he could drive you to and from the
studio and wherever I need to go. His hours would need to be flexible but
we could agree he has an average of two days off each week. He sounds as if
he's a loner so doesn't have a hectic social life. What do you think?"
David could tell that Jason was very keen on the idea so said it sounded
great.

"Why don't we ask him to come and see us so we can decide?" Jason leant
over and kissed him saying he'd give Len a call downstairs and fix it up
for the following day. When Len heard what Jason had in mind he nearly
jumped up and down with joy.

"Rory would love a job like that and he'd be good at it". Jason said he and
David would need to see Rory before anything was finalised so it was agreed
that Len would get his son to call Jason immediately. Within ten minutes an
excited Rory was on the phone saying he'd love to come the following
morning to discuss the position.


That night when they went to bed both produced erections as soon as they
hugged and kissed. "I love you so much David".

"And me you" David replied gently in Jason's ear as he nibbled it before
moving further down the naked body he was straddling to work on the two
gorgeous nipples waiting for his attention. Once they were hard nubs he
moved further down until he reached the part that was waiting anxiously to
be given attention. Jason gasped as he felt the hot lips surround his
flesh. God how he loved the way David sucked and teased it.

"I want to be inside you" Jason managed to gasp as the hot lips worked
their way up and down his shaft. David stopped what he was doing and looked
up grinning.

"And how do you want me?"

"On your back my love; I want to see your face as I slowly sink inside
you." David couldn't wait for that so hastily jumped off Jason and went
onto his back. His legs were soon up over his chest so as to offer
himself. Jason grabbed the lube, spread it along his shaft and slowly
pressed the swollen head up against his lover.

"Oh yes" David gasped as he felt the hot organ slowly make its way inside
him. Once fully inside Jason lowered himself over David's chest to kiss
him. Their mouths locked together and tongues danced as he gently moved in
and out. It was perfect and had he been able to he would have continued all
night but like all good things it eventually came to an end when he reached
his climax. David did the same due to Jason's tummy rubbing against his
rampant organ. As Jason felt his seed being released, they both felt
David's do the same. They grinned knowing the sticky mess that would be
left but neither were bothered. It was beautiful and that was all that
mattered.

Finally Jason slipped out and dropped down beside David. They kissed and
held each other in their arms until eventually they were both asleep.


Rory arrived five minutes before the time agreed which pleased Jason. He so
hated people who were late for appointments. He told Len to send Rory up in
the lift and met him in the outer hallway. Rory had never seen inside the
palatial apartments that his Dad worked in so was immediately impressed as
he extended his hand to shake Jason's. Rory was much the same height as
Jason but broader in build. Even so, he was not overweight and it looked as
if he used the gym on a regular basis. He guessed he used the gym in the
basement which belonged to the apartment block which was also used by staff
and limited family members at certain times. Neither David nor Jason used
it or had the need to do so.

"Come on through Rory"

"Thank you sir"

Jason introduced David who was already standing by the dining table where
they'd decided to interview Rory. They shook hands and smiled at each
other. Jason noticed the way Rory's eyes lit up when he saw his lover, not
that he could blame him since it was the usual reaction of most people when
they met David for the first time.

"I believe you're a dancer sir" Rory said to David smiling. David nodded
and explained he now taught at his own dance school.

"Are you a follower of ballet Rory?" Jason asked. Rory said he had watched
ballet and liked the music.

Once they'd settled down, Jason described what they had in mind and the
need to be flexible. Rory said that was no problem whatsoever since he
didn't have regular social things he went to. "So no boyfriends waiting for
you at home then?" Jason grinned. Rory wondered how he knew he was gay but
said he had nobody special in his life so irregular hours were not a
problem. They discussed terms and conditions which Jason had obtained from
his contacts before Rory arrived. He was more than happy with those and so
hoped he'd be offered the job since he liked both Jason and David and loved
the thought of driving a Mercedes.

"And where do you live Rory?" He explained he rented a small flat about ten
minutes walk away so he'd be near at hand whenever required.

"I take it the car is garaged in the car park downstairs". Jason said it
was and when not in use that's where it would be garaged. He didn't want
his smart car being parked in a side street overnight or being used for the
chauffeur's private use.

"Any other questions?" Rory said he had none apart from when he'd know
whether or not he'd been successful. Jason said he'd call him later that
morning once he'd discussed the matter with David. Rory turned to David and
smiled as if that would encourage him to give his approval. Having made a
note of Rory's address and mobile number, David showed him out and sent him
on his way down in the lift.

"It was nice to meet you sir" Rory smiled as David shook his hand at the
entrance to the lift, "and hope to see you again".

"He's rather cute and very keen isn't he?" David grinned when he joined
Jason in the living room.

"Think he fancied you as well" Jason chuckled "but more to the point what
do you think about employing him?" David said he thought Rory seemed a nice
sensible guy and his driving licence was clean. Jason agreed so called Rory
to offer him the job subject to a reference from his last employer. Rory
gasped when he realised he'd been offered the job and thanked Jason
profusely. Jason said once he'd obtained the reference he'd let Rory have a
contract and he could commence.

The following day Jason spoke to Rory's last manager who gave him a glowing
reference. It seemed the only reason he'd been made redundant was that his
division was closing down and there were no other jobs to offer him. He'd
not had any accidents or speeding offences and he was a reliable guy. Jason
chuckled thinking the guy sounded almost too perfect but having met Rory he
could believe what was being said about him. He asked Phil to email him a
contract and the conditions around use of the car. Once he'd received it he
called Rory and asked him to come round to go through it. Rory said he'd be
round within ten minutes much to Jason's amusement. The guy was so keen.

"Thank you so much sir" he kept on saying once Jason had gone through the
contract and the conditions with Rory and he'd signed it. Jason smiled. It
was good to see the guy so happy.

"By the way Rory, there's no need to call me sir; David will be fine and
you can call my partner David." Rory nodded and said he'd try and remember.

"When would you like me to start?" Jason suggested with immediate effect
but first he needed to buy a dark suit to wear. Jason told him to go and
buy two and give him the bill since he'd pay for them. Rory left with a
spring in his step. He was so happy having found another job so quickly and
one which he knew he was going to enjoy.


On Christmas Eve they drove down to Jason's parents who lived on the family
estate in Marlborough, Wiltshire. David was nervous since he'd never spoken
to them and from what Jason had said they didn't really know about their
relationship. He'd frequently wondered why Jason had not been more open
with them about David but all he'd say was that it was better to let them
meet him and go from there. The journey took almost two hours because of
heavy traffic but eventually they were driving down the long approach road
to the house. David was expecting a massive house but in fact it was quite
modest despite it being old. It was surrounded by expansive grounds which
extended quite someway before fields that belonged to the Home Farm could
be seen in the distance.

"Hi mum, I'd like you to meet David". Mrs Palmer, or Celia as she preferred
to be called by David, welcomed him and made him feel at ease. She sussed
out that he was more than just a casual boyfriend as soon as she saw the
way her son looked at him.

"You're very welcome David; it's lovely to meet you". David helped Jason
pull out their bags from the boot of the car and before they could do
anything with them they were taken by an older man who acknowledged both of
them without saying much. David didn't catch his name but he was clearly
the person who managed the house like Robert did for Jason. The only
difference was that Robert was a damn sight more attractive than this guy!
"Your father is in the drawing room" Celia told Jason once they were inside
the massive hallway that had a central staircase leading up to the upper
floors. David had noticed as they drove towards the house that it had at
least two upper floors and attic rooms above those so it must have had many
bedrooms but he never found out.

Jason put his arm round David and led him into the room in question which
looked enormous from David's perspective. Even so it was nicely furnished,
albeit somewhat old fashioned and he could make out several pieces of good
quality furniture.

"Hello son, good to see you". Jason moved up to his father and they hugged
each other but David noticed it was somewhat formal and far from loving
like the one he'd given his mother.

"I'd like you to meet David" Jason then said as if suddenly remembering
he'd brought him along.

"Good afternoon David, welcome to Rosedale". David shook his hand somewhat
formally and they smiled at each other.

Later when David called him Mr Palmer, he told him to call him Macaulay
which made David relax more but David had the feeling that the relationship
between father and son was strained or at least somewhat formal which was
very unlike the Jason he knew. His mother on the other hand was charming
and made David feel very much at home. The man who'd whisked their luggage
away turned out to be called Stuart but David was never quite sure whether
that was his first name or his last. He seemed to come and go without
saying much and did everything in the background without much conversation
with either of his employers. David found out later that Celia preferred to
do the cooking so David asked if he could help her. She beamed and said
that would be lovely so he followed her into the kitchen leaving Jason and
his father discussing business matters.

"So how long have you and Jason known each other?" Celia asked once she had
David all to herself. David gave the standard reply that they'd first met
about three years ago and had got together again more recently. "I can see
Jason is very much in love with you" she grinned, "So I guess he's found Mr
Right at last".

"Is it that obvious?" David chuckled.

"It is to me my dear and I get the distinct feeling that you're head over
heels with him as well."

David smiled pausing what he was doing. "Yes, very much so; I love him with
all my heart; he's such a kind, generous loving man, I couldn't wish for
anything more". Celia was overcome with emotion for a moment and came up to
David's side.

"I'm so very pleased for you both; so you are officially partners living
together then?" David nodded. "Just as well I told Stuart to put both your
bags into the same room then" she giggled and poked a finger into his side
for fun. David laughed.

"Yes, I don't think Jason would have taken kindly to me sleeping in another
room all over Christmas". Celia laughed and agreed. "And your husband...is
he okay about Jason?"

"Oh yes; he was disappointed when Jason first told us that he was gay,
although to be honest I had worked that out years before, but he's got used
to the idea; he just feels slightly uncomfortable when the topic is
discussed in public but he's fine so you have no worries on that account
even though he may seem a bit cold at times; underneath he's a warm hearted
man and loves both his children very much."

"And I believe Jason's sister and her husband are joining us for
Christmas". Celia stopped what she was doing and nodded.

"You'll love Samantha; she and Jason adore each other but whatever happens,
don't call her Sam; she can't abide it. I take it you know her husband is
from Trinidad, although his parents came to England when he was a small
child so he was brought up here. Brendan is delightful and is four years
older than Samantha who's now twenty four and their little girl Sophie is a
sweetie. I expect Jason has told you that they are expecting another
child". She paused for a moment before continuing as if trying to decide
whether or not she should say anymore. "That was another shock for my
husband when Samantha brought Brendan home but he's got used to having a
mixed marriage in the family so I don't think you have anything to worry
about young man; he's a bit old fashioned in some ways but learning fast
like most of us."

"It's what makes life interesting isn't it?" David chuckled as he continued
scraping the potatoes Celia had given him to prepare.

"What makes life interesting?" Jason laughed suddenly appearing in the
doorway.

"You" David laughed and Jason came up and wrapped his arms round his lover.

"Isn't he gorgeous mum" Jason exclaimed as he kissed the side of David's
head.

"He certainly is my love; I just hope he knows what he's taken on" she
laughed. She loved watching the two men love each other and it made her so
happy to see her son settled down at last.

"I see you've got him hard at work" Jason giggled, "He's a brilliant cook
you know".

"Just as well he is otherwise he'd starve if he had to rely on what you can
do in the kitchen" Celia laughed.

"I'm not that bad mum". Celia looked at him as if to say 'pull the other
one'.


By the time the food preparation was done David felt more relaxed. He
really liked Celia and felt able to talk to her freely which was more than
he could say for Jason's father but perhaps he'd relax as time went
by. Samantha and family arrived shortly after they'd finished and David
watched Jason sweep her into his arms and kiss her. They clearly loved each
other. Brendan stood back as they did so before coming forward and being
hugged and kissed by Jason. He then introduced David which was more formal
but warm all the same. David noted that Brendan treated his father-in-law
with much more respect so David realised it wasn't just him. Sophie was
very sweet and ran about with ease totally unaware of what the grownups
were thinking or doing.

Eventually Stuart announced that dinner was served so they all trooped into
the dining room which had been laid out beautifully. The parents sat at
either end of the long table and Jason indicated for David to sit alongside
him at his mother's end. Samantha sat opposite David and Brendan alongside
her nearest to Jason's father. David was relieved he had Celia beside him
to talk to rather than Macaulay.

"Jason tells me you're a ballet dancer David" Samantha suddenly
announced. The whole room fell into silence for a moment as if a bomb had
been dropped.

"Yes, he was destined to be a star performer had he not been involved in a
road accident three years ago" Jason chimed in to help his lover. There was
a general murmur of shock and dismay for a moment until Macaulay asked "So
what do you do now David?"

"I've set up my own school of dance primarily for disadvantaged young men
who can't afford the usual fees or whose families are not supportive; in
lots of families ballet is not seen to be a profession suitable for a man
as was the case with my father so Jason and I decided to provide an
opportunity for those who do wish to follow their dream."

"That's a brilliant idea, good for you David" Celia announced which was
soon followed by approval from Samantha and Brendan. David noticed that
Jason's father said nothing and just nodded.

"He's also a brilliant pianist" Jason added proud to expound his partner's
virtues.

"Oh how wonderful" Samantha exclaimed, "perhaps you could play something
for us later; I so love to hear the piano being played." David had noticed
the baby grand in the large drawing room and wondered who played it.

"Who else plays the piano then?" David asked looking round the table. He
had a feeling it wouldn't be Jason's father.

"I play a little but it was originally bought for Samantha" Celia
replied. Samantha smiled and said she didn't play much now and was sure
David would be much more proficient.


Once the meal was over they made their way back into the drawing room where
Stuart served coffee. Once that had been consumed Samantha looked at David
and asked if he'd play something for them.

"He'd love to, wouldn't you my love" Jason said patting David's hand. David
glanced at Macaulay who just sat there and said nothing but Celia and the
others were all egging him on so he agreed. He walked over to the piano and
opened it up. It was nothing special but it looked in good
condition. Having adjusted the piano stool he sat down and prepared
himself. He decided to play something from Swan Lake because he knew Jason
loved hearing that. He launched into the Waltz which even on just the piano
alone sounded wonderful. The whole room looked on in awe as David let his
fingers dance across the keys. None of them could believe what they were
hearing or seeing since he played the whole piece from memory. When he
finished everyone applauded him, including Macaulay. David stood up and did
a bow much to everyone's amusement.

"Oh David, that was beautiful" both Samantha and Celia said in unison.

"Where did you find this gorgeous talented man Jason" Samantha
exclaimed. David blushed as he sat down beside Jason who put his arm round
him and hugged him tight. David glanced over to Macaulay who seemed to
enjoy watching his son.

"When I first saw him dance over three years ago I knew I had to get to
know him so arranged for Swan Lake to be performed at the Union and
insisted on David performing. When I saw him dance again I fell in love
with him but soon after that he was involved in a terrible accident that
ruined his career as a top class dancer. We lost contact but met up again a
while ago so here we are; he's the man of my dreams."

By this time David could feel tears forming in his eyes and couldn't look
at anyone. Celia, Samantha and Brendan were all saying what a beautiful
love story. Only Macaulay remained silent but even he had been moved and
smiled at his son.

"Well, I think you're a lucky guy Jason" Samantha said finally.

"I know I am sis; you don't need to tell me that" Jason grinned as he
leaned over and gave David a kiss on the lips. David noticed the others all
smiling but avoided looking at Jason's father. If he didn't know now that
his son had found the man of his dreams and was very much in love he never
would.


9.

Later when they were in their own room together, David took Jason into his
arms. "Your father doesn't say much, does he; do you think he approves of
me?" Jason pulled him up close and kissed him.

"Of course he does; in fact he told me after dinner that he was impressed
with your dance school ideas; I agree he's not very demonstrative that's
why I knew I had to introduce you in person rather than announce it over
the phone. He's basically an old fashioned guy and finds it hard to get
used to things."

"What, like having his gay son's poof for Christmas and his daughter's
black husband?" David grinned.

"Yeah, something like that" Jason said taking hold of David's face and
kissing him passionately. David opened his mouth for him and felt Jason's
gorgeous hot tongue almost down the back of his throat. As they kissed they
ground into each other pressing their hardness together. Soon he felt
Jason's hand unfastening his trousers to gain access to the prize
inside. The more he unfastened, the harder it became as did his own. Once
they were undone he pushed them down David's legs still kissing
passionately whilst holding his head with one hand to keep him in place. He
thrust his hand down inside the front of David's briefs and heard him gasp
as his hand grasped the hot flesh.

"Mm" David groaned as the kiss continued. He then felt his shirt being
unbuttoned and before long that had been slipped off his shoulders and
tossed to one side. He kicked off his shoes followed by his trousers and
still the kiss continued. If it went on for much longer he'd be coming
inside his briefs. Suddenly he felt himself being pushed down on the bed,
his socks being taken off followed by his briefs. He was now naked looking
up into Jason's eyes which were shining like stars in the night sky. Jason
straddled him and slowly and seductively unfastened his own shirt. As he
did so David went to unfasten his trousers but Jason stopped him.

"Hands behind your head" he instructed grinning. David obeyed and continued
watching his lover slowly undress. He could see the bulge pressing against
the thin briefs and was itching to take hold of it. Finally it was released
as Jason slipped them off. He then lay down on top of David and rubbed the
two organs together. They quickly locked into another kiss as Jason slowly
wriggled his naked body over David's. After a while he felt Jason reach
over to the side table to pull out the lube. Having flipped the top open
and squirted some over his fingers using just the one hand. He then
prepared himself and moved so that he could slip David inside him. Bit by
bit David felt his organ sinking inside of Jason. Still the kiss continued
so he couldn't say anything apart from groan his pleasure. It felt so
good. Jason then moved his body up and down to pleasure David and rub his
own organ between their stomachs. Quite how long they continued like this
David didn't know but suddenly he felt his orgasm reach its peak and
release itself inside Jason. Almost at the same time he was conscious of
Jason releasing his seed between their stomachs.

"Mm, that was gorgeous" Jason finally exclaimed having pulled out of the
kiss. David grinned and lifted his head to kiss him on the lips. "You
reckon you can do that to me now?" he grinned. David nodded. He was still
hard and he could feel that Jason was too.

With one move they flipped over so that David was on top of Jason. They
kissed whilst David seductively moved his naked body over Jason's to keep
both organs hard. When he felt he was ready he prepared himself and moved
up Jason's body so he could guide the hard organ inside him. The angle was
like nothing he'd experienced before and as it slowly sank inside him it
was hitting all the right spots. He then slowly moved up and down the shaft
rubbing his own against Jason. It took longer to reach their orgasms but
eventually they did. Once complete, they slipped onto their sides and
managed to keep coupled. It was just beautiful and neither wanted it to
end.


Christmas day went well and everyone enjoyed themselves. They exchanged
presents and took their time over their meal. Stuart was invited to join
them since it seemed he was a single man without any local family. David
wondered whether he too was gay although he showed no signs of being
so. Later Jason told him that he had once been married but it had been a
disaster to they divorced. Since then Stuart had led a monastic life
servicing the Palmer family. It seemed he was a jack of all trades and not
only looked after the house with local help but also acted as Macaulay's
chauffeur when required.

On Boxing Day afternoon the siblings made their way home. David thanked
Celia for making him feel so welcome and he shook Macaulay's hand somewhat
more formally. At least he said it was a pleasure to meet David and that he
must visit again soon.

"Okay my love?" Jason asked as they drove off. David said he was fine and
had enjoyed himself.

"Do you and your father ever meet up in London?"

"Only at bank board meetings otherwise no; let's face it we live different
lives and don't have that much in common". David nodded and briefly thought
of his own father. It was sad that fathers and sons so often seemed not to
enjoy each other's company or share the same interests. He assumed some did
but so many didn't.

"Will you have to take more responsibility at the bank in due course?"
Jason said he probably would have to when his father got older but for now
he sat on the board as a token member just to keep in contact with what was
going on.


They spent the New Year in Woodcote and both Robert and Sam were pleased to
see them. Jason had arranged for them all to go out for a meal in Oxford on
New Year's Eve and then onto a club that was celebrating the New Year in
style. Since they'd be drinking, Jason had organised a taxi for the four of
them. The meal was superb and far beyond the kind of thing either Robert or
Sam normally experienced and they both enjoyed it immensely. At the club
they also enjoyed each other's company and after a few drinks inside them
were soon dancing and becoming very intimate with each other. All four were
turned on and erections were being pressed against each other as they
danced. David noticed there were several same sex couples in the crowd so
nobody seemed the slightest bit surprised to see four men having fun with
each other.

When the New Year arrived, Jason had bought a bottle of champagne to
celebrate it. As the clock chimed twelve they wished each other a happy new
year. Jason pulled David into a passionate kiss whilst Robert did the same
to Sam. It was almost two in the morning by the time the taxi dropped them
off home somewhat the worse for wear but they'd all had a fantastic time
together.

"That was the best New Year I've ever celebrated" Jason slurred once he and
David were in their room although quite how they managed the stairs neither
were sure. Robert and Sam were in much the same state so Jason suggested
they all sleep in until they were in a fit state to get up.

In fact it was almost lunchtime when Jason and David finally appeared
downstairs to find Robert busy preparing a brunch for them all. He looked
reasonably okay but the other three were far from being so.


David felt sad when it was time to leave to go back to London. He'd enjoyed
being in the country with Robert and Sam again and suggested to Jason that
they make regular long weekend visits. He was sure Paul could manage to run
the studio on the odd Friday or Monday.

"The best Christmas and New Year ever" he said as he drove down the
drive. Jason patted his thigh and agreed.

"May there be many more like that" he added. He so hoped so because he was
the happiest man alive.


The school opened the week after New Year and all the students arrived keen
to start their hard journey to become dancers. Everyone had said they'd
enjoyed Christmas with the exception of one. That was Tom who was somewhat
non committal and David could tell he was not happy with life. He tried
several times to talk to him but he held things in. Despite that he worked
hard and was always keen to do his best. As predicted Oliver soon showed he
had talent but he was a difficult student to deal with because of his
arrogance which however hard David and Paul tried to drum out of him kept
on rising to the surface. There were several spats between him and other
students and David had to intervene to keep the peace. If it hadn't been
that he showed such promise, he'd have been told to leave.

They were well into the winter term when the first of their students left
having decided it was too much for him. Soon after another left but neither
were likely to have achieved much so made the right choice to leave. Other
potential students were keen to join the school so they were put through
their paces and two more eventually chosen to join the group.

Tom was good at theory but was finding it difficult to put things into
practice. It certainly wasn't due to lack of hard work because he spent
hours trying to perfect the things he was being taught. David often spent
time with him when the others had gone home for the day as he so wanted to
see Tom achieve his dream. He liked Tom and never minded giving him the
extra time but things came to a head during one particular class.

"The wanker is useless" Oliver shouted after Tom was having difficulty in
achieving a particular step that David was showing them. David stopped the
class and looked at Oliver. He could see that Tom was very upset at the
remark and had slunk away to one side.

"How dare you say that" David roared making everyone step back for a
moment, "Go and change and wait outside my office until I come
down". Oliver lowered his head having realised he'd gone too far on this
occasion. Nobody had seen David so angry. In fact he was so upset that
despite the class having another twenty minutes to go he abandoned it and
stood before them.

"All of you be aware that under no circumstances will I tolerate that kind
of behaviour; is that understood?" Everyone nodded their heads
solemnly. "This school thrives on diversity so I will not accept
homophobic, racist or any comments of that nature; is that clear?" Once
again everyone nodded their heads before he told them to go and shower,
change and go home.

As soon as the class started to leave the studio, David went up to Tom and
held him back. "I'm sorry Tom that was totally uncalled for; are you okay?"
Tom nodded but David could see tears in his eyes. He took him into his arms
and hugged him for a few moments. Realising that he would not want to go
and shower just yet knowing that Oliver was still downstairs he told Tom to
have a seat for a while until he came back up. He'd noticed on numerous
occasions that Tom never rushed off home of an evening, in fact he almost
held back as if he didn't really want to go home. Tom sat down and David
went downstairs to find Oliver. He was just coming out of the changing room
when he got there so followed David into his office. Paul had been working
in the classroom since David hadn't needed him to play the piano for that
lesson and wondered what was happening. He indicated for Paul to join them
in the office. Once inside and the door had been closed, David sat on the
edge of his desk whilst Oliver stood in front of him with his head lowered.

"What's going on?" Paul asked.

"Do you want to tell Paul what you said or shall I?" David asked Oliver. He
shook his head and felt the blood rush to his face. He was wondering how he
was going to explain to his parents that he'd been expelled from the school
since he was sure that was what was going to happen.

"Okay then I'll tell him" David said turning to Paul. "Whilst I was showing
Tom how to do a particular move, Oliver suddenly blurts out the wanker is
useless". Paul looked at Oliver and felt like hitting him. It was typical
of his arrogant attitude and he was prepared to back David if he said he
was to be expelled.

"So tell me Oliver" David said calmly, "why did you feel it was necessary
to make such a homophobic remark?" Oliver said he didn't really know. "Do
you have a problem with gay people Oliver because if you do then you'd
better leave because you're being taught by two gays and you've no doubt
realised that others are too".

"No sir"

"Then why make the remark?" Oliver felt tears form in his eyes and looked
at David.

"I'm sorry sir; I didn't mean anything by it".

"But you thought it" Paul replied "otherwise you wouldn't have said
it". Oliver couldn't argue with that one; perhaps he did have a problem
with guys who were different to him but he didn't think he had.

"You realise we could expel you from the school don't you Oliver?"

"Yes sir but please don't I so want to dance like you sir" Oliver said
woefully. Even Paul felt his heart strings being pulled by that plea and
David did too. He stood up and put his hands on Oliver's shoulders. Oliver
looked up into David's eyes wondering what was coming next.

"You have to learn Oliver that we are all different and all have our
strengths and weaknesses; okay Tom may not be the top dancer in the class
but he's damn good at other things and he's a hard worker; you're fortunate
in that your practical skills are better than his but in class I understand
he outshines you, is that the problem?" Oliver thought for a moment;
perhaps he was envious that Tom always knew the answers to the theory
questions and he didn't.

"I don't know sir; I just know I have to be the best always"

Paul chuckled. "Life isn't like that Oliver; some things you're good at and
other things not so; you can't always be top at everything."

"Perhaps you could tell my parents that" Oliver mumbled. David looked at
him and lifted his head by placing his fingers beneath his chin.

"Oliver, I know your parents have high hopes for you but you can't take
that out on other students; that's something you've got to sort out for
yourself although Paul and I are always happy to help you do that if we can
but I can't have you making homophobic remarks to other students or being
arrogant. If you act like that when you join a dance group you will be
ostracised within seconds; you have to work as a team and encourage each
other; do you understand?"

"Yes sir, I'm really sorry sir"

"It's not me that you need to apologise to is it; poor Tom is sitting
upstairs feeling he's a failure because of you."

"What's going to happen to me sir?" David told him to stand outside whilst
he discussed the matter with Paul for a moment. He knew he didn't want to
expel Oliver but he needed to convince Paul he was making the right
decision.

When Oliver had left them Paul looked at David. "What are you going to do?"

"He's only sixteen and I believe in giving people a second chance in life
but he's got to understand that he can't continue like this." Paul agreed
and said he felt the same way. They called Oliver back in and the lad stood
nervously in front of them waiting for his fate.

"Oliver, look at me" Oliver raised his head with big sorrowful eyes. David
felt he wanted to take the young man into his arms and hug him but that was
not the thing to do of course. "We are going to give you a second chance
but you must understand that if anything like this happens again we'll have
no choice but to ask you to leave the school." Oliver felt physically
relieved. He was sure he was going to be given the push and it wouldn't
have been the first time he'd been expelled from a school. "But, you must
lose your arrogance lad; people don't like arrogance and you'll soon find
yourself losing friends because of it so try and see the good in other
people around you and encourage them as they do you."

"Thank you sir" Oliver replied with tears running down his face.

"Right, off you go and on Monday morning I want you to take Tom to one side
and apologise to him, is that understood?" Oliver nodded. He'd do anything
to keep his place at the school.

When he'd left the office Paul and David looked at each other. "Remind me,
whose idea was it to run a dance school" David grinned. "I'd better go and
find Tom".

David went upstairs and Tom wasn't there. He went down to the changing area
and found him sitting alone on a bench in the locker room. All the other
students had gone home. David sat beside him and put his arm round his
shoulder. "I've told Oliver he must apologise to you on Monday because his
remark was uncalled for". Tom nodded hardly hearing what David was
saying. "You're doing fine Tom; you're better than him at theory; okay he's
better at the practical work but as I've told him we're all different so it
doesn't matter."

"But he's right isn't he? I am a useless wanker; that's what my dad tells
me any rate."

David was shocked for a moment. So that was the real problem. Like his
father, Tom also had one who talked him down. "Tom, you are not useless;
you have a lot of good qualities".

"But I can't dance can I so what's the point?" David pulled him into a hug
and held him tight. Tears were now falling down Tom's face as he pressed
his head up against David's chest to get some feeling of being wanted. He
so missed that since all his father did was call him names and hit him
whenever he was drunk. His mother was useless since she was always drugged
up to her eyeballs, not that Tom really blamed her having a husband like
his father to contend with.

David just held him wondering how to handle this one. He felt he needed to
be honest with Tom but was not sure this was the right time to say what he
really felt which was that Tom would never make the top grade but would be
fine as a support dancer provided he was happy with that but he would need
a lot of encouragement to accept that.

"Tell you what Tom, why don't you go home and we'll have a talk on Monday
and decide what we can do to help you along." Oliver pressed his head
harder against David's chest and pulled his arms tighter round him.

"Don't want to go home". David looked down at him wondering what to say.

"Why's that Tom?"

"He'll be drunk and hit me and she'll be drugged up to her eyeballs".

"Oh my god" David whispered. It seemed things were far worst with Tom's
home environment than he'd thought. "Does your dad knock you about much?"
Tom nodded.

"Got bruises all over me; I find it difficult sometimes to move how you
want me to". David gently hugged him again not wanting to hurt him but he
felt so sorry for him.

"Would you like to show me Tom?" David asked gently not wanting to sound
too shocked at what he'd heard. Tom nodded and stood up. He slipped off his
T shirt followed by his tights. Sure enough he had several bruises over his
back which looked like punches and some on the top of his legs. He also
looked as if he desperately needed some decent food inside him. Having
inspected his body, David suggested he shower and get dressed. "When you're
ready come and find me and we'll go and get a meal; think you need some
food don't you." Tom gave David a gentle smile as he stripped off his dance
belt and stood their naked for a moment. Suddenly he stepped forward and
flung his arms round David's waist weeping bucket loads.

As David stood their holding Tom's naked body in his arms he was suddenly
aware of Jason standing in the doorway to the changing room. He could see
Tom crying and guessed David was trying to console him.

"Have your shower Tom and I'll be back shortly". David went towards Jason
and kissed him before walking him out into the corridor.

"Paul said he had to go" Jason said once they were outside, "What's
happened?" David gave him a brief synopsis of what had taken place and what
he'd found out about Tom. Jason nodded understanding the situation. "Invite
him home with us so he can have a decent meal and you can talk to him;
don't think you can leave it until Monday." David kissed Jason and thanked
him. It was in his mind to do the same but he didn't want to bother Jason
with school problems. "I'll go and tell Rory we'll be a few more minutes".

David went back into the changing room to find Tom drying himself. When he
told him that he was going to go back home with him and Jason for a meal he
smiled and said 'Thank you'.


10.

"Thank you Rory" Jason said as David walked Tom over to the lift from the
car park, "we might need you later to take Tom home, would you mind?" Rory
said he'd be happy to do so and to call when they wanted him. Rory had
turned out well and both Jason and David liked him immensely. Rory loved
the job despite the irregular hours.

Once they were inside the apartment David took Tom's coat and hung it up in
the hall cupboard. Tom gasped. He'd never seen such luxury. Jason suggested
that David take Tom into the living room whilst he prepared the meal which
only needed heating up since they were having one of Juan's meals that
evening. Having got Tom a glass of lager David indicated for him to sit
down on the sofa. He sat beside him and gently asked him some more
questions about his home life. Having said some more David could see that
things were far worse than he'd imagined.

"I too had a father who always pulled me down". Tom looked at David
amazed. "So I know what you're going through Tom. Fortunately he didn't
knock me about, at least not often". Tom felt at last he had someone who
understood what he was going through.

"Even so" Tom said quietly, "I'm not sure I'm cut out to be a dancer".

David put his hand on Tom's shoulder to make him look at him. "Never doubt
your own abilities Tom; okay you will probably never be as good as some but
that doesn't mean you've got to give up your dream." Tom wasn't so sure but
said nothing for the moment. "You don't really want to give it all up do
you?" Tom looked at David and more tears filled his eyes. He loved dancing
and all that went with it but he wasn't sure he could face failure.

"I just wish there was some way to stay in dancing without having to strive
all the time to be a brilliant dancer like Oliver will be one day. I know
I'll never achieve that standard but I love dancing." Jason had been
standing nearby when Tom made the last comment and it gave him an idea.

"The meal is nearly ready guys; do you want the bathroom before we eat
Tom?" Tom nodded. He needed to rinse his face from his tears and try and
look more of an adult. David showed him where to go and returned to the
living room.

"I think you should take on an assistant my love; someone who's passionate
about dancing, helpful and willing to do whatever is required with perhaps
the opportunity to dance every so often." David looked at Jason and
grinned. He'd described Tom exactly and he had thought he and Paul would
need someone like that in due course. He nodded grinning but first he would
have to speak to Paul. Just then Tom returned looking slightly better. They
sat down and ate and whilst they did so Jason casually asked Tom questions
about how he'd like to see his future if he had the choice. Tom was not
sure but said he enjoyed being in the dance environment not purely the
dance itself although he did enjoy that as well. By the time they'd
finished their meal David was certain that Tom would make the ideal
assistant. All he now had to do was convince Paul although at the end of
the day it was his decision and his alone.

Tom seemed reluctant to go home but knew he'd have to at some point. He'd
enjoyed his time with David and Jason and despite the earlier upset with
Oliver he was feeling better. However the thought of what lay in wait at
home didn't thrill him.

"I'll take you home in the car Tom" David said seeing Tom's reluctance to
go. Tom's eyes lit up and said he'd like that if he didn't mind. It would
at least give him the courage to make the journey if David was by his
side. Jason called Rory and asked if he'd mind driving Tom home. Ten
minutes later he was calling to say he was downstairs by the car so Tom and
David left.

"Thank you for the meal" Tom said to Jason as he left. Jason smiled and
patted him on the back.

"Things will work out okay Tom, just give it time". Tom smiled but he
couldn't see how.

Tom sat in silence inside the back of the car grasping his hands
together. David could see he was tense at the thought of going home. He
gently patted Tom's knee to let him know he was not alone. Tom lived on a
council estate on the south side of Battersea. It was a grim area at the
best of times but at night it looked even more forbidding. Tom directed
Rory to his block and they went to park up. In the car park area a police
car and a fire engine was blocking the entrance so Rory stopped the car to
let them out.

"Oh my god" Tom exclaimed once he was out of the car. "That's where I live"
he said indicating a flat on the first floor. Even from where they were
standing they could see the blackened brickwork and the front windows
beside the entrance door smashed in. A fireman was standing outside. Tom
started to walk up the stairs so David followed him. When they reached the
flat Tom gasped. The front door was charred and the hallway was a mass of
black wet burnt material.

"Your dad has really gone and done it this time Tom" a voice suddenly said
behind them. They turned to find a woman standing at her front door in an
adjacent flat. She explained that Tom's father had come home drunk as
usual, trashed the whole flat and somehow set it on fire. The fireman said
it was thought he'd kicked an electric fire over which had set the curtains
alight. David asked whether anyone had been injured and the fireman said
that Tom's mother had been taken to hospital with smoke inhalation but was
otherwise okay and Tom's father had been taken down to the police station
but was unharmed. The flat however was more or less completely burnt
out. Tom peered through the broken window and gasped.

"That was my bedroom" he whispered.

"Has anything been saved?" David asked the fireman.

"Not a lot but I can take you in to see if you want"

Tom said he'd like to look inside his own room but wasn't bothered with the
rest of the place. From what David could see everything was ruined. His
clothes that had been hanging on a rail were either burnt or scorched so
nothing was salvageable but Tom was more interested in what was under the
bed. He knelt down and pulled out a small cardboard box. Having checked its
contents he hugged it tight to his chest and walked out. Once outside the
fireman asked if Tom had anywhere to stay since the flat was
unusable. David immediately said he could go home with him. They made their
way back downstairs and found Rory. Tom climbed into the car still hugging
his box as if it was the crown jewels.

"Would you like to go and see your mum Tom?" David asked once he'd climbed
in beside him. Tom shook his head.

"She's not interested in me and my dad hates me" he replied in a dejected
tone. David told Rory to take them home and pulled Tom into his arms. The
poor guy felt as if the whole world had fallen apart. "What am I going to
do?" he whispered with tears running down his face.

"You're staying with Jason and me until we can sort something out for you
Tom; we'll look after you so you're not to worry" David replied pulling Tom
closer to him. Tom laid his head on David's shoulder and cried whilst
hugging his box tight against him. David quickly called Jason to tell him
they were on their way back and would explain everything when they arrived.


Once in the apartment, David suggested that Tom go straight to bed. He was
still in shock so thought a sleep would do him good. He led him into the
guest room and sat him down on the bed. He seemed powerless to do anything
so David sat beside him and hugged him again. Jason came in to see them and
watched David hug Tom who was now pouring out more tears.

"Apart from your clothes, have you lost anything of value or personal to
you?" David asked. Tom shook his head. "But you saved your box" he added
wondering what was so special inside. Tom looked up and then opened it. He
pulled out three books on modern dance all of which David had read in years
gone by. They clearly meant a lot to Tom so he was glad they'd not been
destroyed.

"Would you like me to put them over here for you?" Jason asked moving
forward to take the box. Tom let him take the box without saying anything
but watched as he placed it on the nearby chest of drawers in full view of
him. "I think a cup of tea with some sugar in is called for" Jason said
once he'd placed the box down. Whilst he was gone to make the tea, David
suggested that Tom take off his quilted jacket. He just sat there so David
took control and slowly unzipped it and slipped it off him. Having put it
on a nearby chair he suggested that perhaps Tom should undress and get into
bed.

Again Tom just sat there not moving so David slipped off his T shirt like
you would a child. He shivered slightly once his torso was naked and David
wasn't sure whether it was due to cold or he was still in shock. He guessed
it was the latter since the room was warm. Without saying anything he
reached down and removed Tom's shoes and socks. He then unfastened the belt
of his trousers and seeing that Tom wasn't going to do anything himself he
unzipped them. He gently lifted Tom to slip them off him. Tom seemed to
realise what was needed and wriggled them off his buttocks along with his
boxer shorts which David had intended leaving on. Seeing that Tom wanted
everything off he slipped the garments down his legs and removed them.

David gently lifted him so that he could fold the duvet back to get him
into bed. Once he was standing, Tom suddenly burst into more tears so David
held him up close against him and rubbed his naked back up and down. As he
was doing so Jason appeared with the tea somewhat surprised to see a naked
Tom in David's arms but he could see how distraught the lad was and that
David was trying to console him. He placed the tea on the bedside table and
mouthed to David that he'd leave them.

"You're safe now Tom and we'll look after you" David whispered as he kissed
the top of Tom's head. Tom was slightly shorter than David so his head was
buried into David's shoulder. He continued gently rubbing Tom's back down
to his naked buttocks and gradually Tom calmed down. He then sat him down
on the edge of the bed and passed him the mug of tea to drink. He grimaced
at the first taste because of the sugar. He never drank tea with sugar but
David explained it was good for shock. Once he'd finished, David lifted his
legs onto the bed and admired briefly the beautiful naked body lying
there. Apart from the bruises that were slowly coming out, he had a perfect
body. He quickly covered him over with the duvet and kissed Tom's forehead.

"If you need anything just let us know" David said as he turned off the
bedside lamp and moved to the door, "And if you feel you need someone
during the night come along to our room at the end of the corridor and let
us know". Tom nodded and mouthed a thank you before resting his head back
on the pillow. David left the door ajar to allow some light from the
hallway and went to find Jason to tell him what they'd found when they
arrived at Tom's home.

"Oh god, the poor lad" Jason exclaimed having heard the story, "He must
feel that the end of the world has come; I'm so glad you went with him my
love." Jason took David into his arms and hugged him. Tom's situation so
reminded him of his own three years previous. The only difference was that
he was hounded out by a landlord rather than being burnt out by his father
but the result was the same. For a brief moment it all flooded back and
David felt tears in his eyes but then he realised he had the man of his
dreams in his arms and that he'd brought him back to life. That was
precisely what he'd do for Tom. When they went to bed, Tom was fast asleep.


When Tom woke in the morning he wondered where he was for a moment before
remembering back to what he'd seen the previous night. He lay there for a
while but eventually had to get up to go to the bathroom. David was
suddenly aware of movement so quickly got up to make sure Tom was okay. He
met a stark naked Tom walking out of the bathroom.

"You okay?" Tom nodded smiling.

"Yeah, thanks, needed a pee" he grinned.

"There's a robe on the back of your bedroom door if you want one but it's
up to you. We generally wander round naked so it doesn't bother us." Tom
grinned again rather wishing that David hadn't worn his before coming out
to find him. "Would you like a cup of tea?" David asked as Tom turned to go
back to his room. He said he would so David walked into the kitchen to make
three mugs of tea. He took one into Jason and then took his own and Tom's
into his room.

"How are you feeling this morning?" Tom shrugged. He wasn't really sure how
he felt. On the one hand he was away from his parents who had never loved
him but on the other he was now homeless without any clothes.

As if reading Tom's mind David said they'd go out that morning to buy him
some clothes. Tom looked startled saying he didn't have much money to spend
on clothes. David smiled and patted his hand.

"Without going into the detail, I was once in your situation with no roof
over my head and just the clothes on my back to keep me warm but Jason
found me and got me on my feet again. He bought me a new wardrobe of
clothes and everything else one needs to get on with life; that's what we
will do for you Tom so don't worry about not having any money; just accept
everything as a gift from people who are very fond of you."

Tom looked at David and blinked the tears away. Why were David and Jason
being so kind to him? He mouthed thank you before asking "But where am I
going to live; I can't afford to rent anywhere unless I get a job and give
up dancing". David picked up his hand and held it tight for a moment. He'd
not yet spoken to Paul but he was sure he would agree to David's
suggestion.

"Just give me a bit longer to work things out but I may have the solution
to that for you; do you trust me Tom?" He nodded emphatically. He trusted
David without question and in fact was the only person in his life he'd
ever trusted.

They both drank their tea in silence for a moment. Before David got up to
go he asked again whether Tom felt he'd like to go and see his mother. Tom
shook his head emphatically. "She never wanted me; I was a mistake and my
dad hated me; in fact I've often wondered whether he was really my dad; so
no, I never want to see either of them again or have anything to do with
them." David could fully understand the vehemence in Tom's voice since he'd
felt the same about his father. The only difference was that he'd loved his
mother before she died. David nodded and patted Tom's hand.

"I feel the same way about my father so I fully understand".

"What about your mother?" Tom asked rather intrigued to find out that he
wasn't the only person to have parents who hated him so.

"I loved her but she died; it's my father who couldn't accept me being gay
or being a dancer so I felt the same that he didn't really love me or want
me; as a result I've never seen or spoken to him since but I've found other
people who do love me and accept me; you'll find the same Tom, you'll see."
Tom smiled. He'd already found one person who did so he felt happy for that
small mercy but what the hell he was going to do he had no idea for the
moment.


After breakfast, Jason suggested David and Tom go out to do some clothes
shopping so he called Rory to see if he was available to drive them. David
said there was no need since they could use public transport but as usual
Jason wouldn't hear of it. David sometimes wondered whether he didn't trust
him to cope with roads bearing in mind what had happened three years
earlier but he accepted the situation in good grace. It was rather grand
being ferried around by car all said and done and he knew Tom wouldn't
object. As usual Rory said he'd be delighted and would be round in ten
minutes.

Before they set off, David asked Rory where he suggested they go for Tom
and he suggested John Lewis since they had a good range of menswear. David
felt that was an excellent idea so they set off to Oxford Street. As they
drove, Rory mentioned there was a studio flat vacant next to his flat and
wondered whether Tom might be interested. "It's very small and is basically
one room with a bathroom but I don't think the rent is very expensive."
David thanked him and asked that he let him have the details so they could
look into it.


Having spent almost two hours looking at things and trying them on, David
called Rory to say they were ready to leave so would meet them at the side
entrance. They made their way downstairs loaded with their
purchases. They'd bought jeans, shirts, T shirts, socks, underwear, another
quilted jacket, a pair of black shoes and two pairs of trainers. Tom had
never owned so many new clothes in one go and couldn't stop thanking David
who'd paid for everything using his credit card. He didn't explain that it
was covered by Jason's account but Tom guessed that Jason would be paying
for everything from what he'd said before they'd left to go out. As soon as
Rory appeared with the car they bundled everything into the boot and made
their way home. "Thank you" Tom said pulling David into a kiss on the
lips. It was worth doing just for the kiss and caused David's body to react
in a way that perhaps it shouldn't have done but Tom was a somewhat
attractive eighteen year old.

Whilst Tom was unpacking their purchases, David phoned Paul to tell him
about Tom and his idea. Paul was horrified to hear the news but immediately
agreed with David. "He'd be a great help to both of us and as you say he
could still continue with his dancing if he wanted". David agreed and said
he'd speak to Tom that afternoon. Rory had also brought round details of
the studio flat and said the Landlord had leant him the key if Tom was
interested in seeing it. When Jason looked at the details he noticed that
it was for sale or rent. It immediately gave Jason an idea and suggested to
David that if Tom was interested they'd go round that afternoon to look at
it. On paper it looked good and was reasonably priced.


After lunch, David sat Tom down and talked to him.

"First of all Tom whatever you may think about your abilities you are a
good dancer but I think we both know that you'll never make A grade since
you have to be exceptional to do that but there's no reason why you
shouldn't continue dancing and either join a dance group or find a job that
would combine dancing and other things so that you earn some money to
live." Tom nodded having followed the logic. He agreed he would never reach
the top of the tree like Oliver would probably do but he loved dancing and
didn't want to give it up. On the other hand he wasn't sure he had
sufficient confidence to join a dance group, at least not yet.

"So, Paul and I have come up with a suggestion for you to consider. You
don't need to give an answer immediately and can take as long as is
necessary to think it over and whilst you do you can stay here". Tom nodded
waiting in anticipation. "We've decided that we could do with a Studio
Assistant to help him with class work and me with dance classes. In
addition that person could play the piano for lessons to release Paul and
do other general duties around the place. It would of course be a paid job
and we were wondering if you'd be interested since you could still continue
with your dancing. We will undoubtedly be putting on small shows in due
course so you will have the opportunity to appear in those according to
your ability. In other words it's a mixture of being a paid assistant and
dancing. Would that be of interest to you?"

Tom beamed. It was exactly what he wanted. He jumped up from where he was
sitting opposite to David and landed on his lap. "Oh yes please, that would
be perfect and I don't mind what I do in the way of jobs if I can stay at
the studio and dance every so often." He then threw his arms round David
and hugged him before giving him a big wet kiss on his lips. "Thank you so
much".

"You're sure you don't want to think about it first?"

"No way, it's perfect but I'm not sure I'm up to the same standard with my
piano playing as Paul and certainly not as good as you but I'll practice so
I get better." That was the Tom that David knew and he smiled. He never
minded working hard to improve which made Oliver's remark the day before so
unfair. "So is the job mine then?" Tom asked expectantly. David nodded and
hugged him tight kissing him on the side of his face.

"I take it's a yes then?" Jason said as he came into the room just as Tom
was hugging David and he was giving him a kiss. David grinned and nodded.

"And we may have somewhere for you to live Tom" Jason added before telling
him about the studio flat "But you need to see it first to see if you like
it." Tom looked at the details and said it sounded perfect but he wasn't
sure he could afford it.

"Don't forget you'll have a salary coming in for the assistant's job and if
it's worth buying then I will rent it to you at a figure you can afford"
Jason added. He too wanted to do what he could for young Tom and was
already getting rather fond of him. He could see why David liked him. When
he wasn't sad he was vivacious and full of happiness like a puppy who
wanted to please.

"When can we go and see it?" Tom asked with a big grin.

Jason chuckled. "How about now?" Tom jumped off David's lap and wrapped his
arms round Jason to hug him. Jason placed his arms round him and held him
tight. He really was just like a big child who loved being hugged and
loved. The truth was that he'd never had such love in his life to date and
appreciated it when it was available.


They decided to walk the ten minute walk to Rory's flat, having phoned him
to say they were on their way. The studio flat was right next door to his
so he and Tom would be neighbours which he rather enjoyed the thought
of. As the details showed, the flat consisted of a large room that housed
the bedroom and living area with a small kitchenette to one side. Off the
room was a small bathroom. Tom loved it and looked at Jason. He too thought
it was good value so agreed to put in an offer to buy it. Since the
landlord lived in the next block he went round immediately to see him
whilst David and Tom waited with Rory in his flat. It too was small but had
a separate bedroom and kitchen.

"All agreed" Jason smiled when he returned, "We just need to sort out the
legal stuff but having heard about your situation Tom he's agreed that you
can move in immediately if you want to but I've agreed I'll arrange for it
to be decorated first before you move in". Tom gasped and once again threw
his arms round Jason to thank him. Rory and David watched on amused but
were happy for him.

When they got home, Jason told David that he'd managed to get the landlord
to let Tom move in before the sale had gone through provided he paid for
the decoration which he knew had to be done. He also knew that the bed was
old and needed replacing if it was rented so Jason agreed to get a new one
in place of no rent for the time it took to arrange the sale.


11.

The next day Jason took David and Tom out for lunch at a pub in Wimbledon
he liked. Tom was looking so much happier and jumped up and down as he
walked alongside them from the car park to the pub. He couldn't wait to get
into his new home but realised it would take a while to get everything
sorted. In the meantime he was happy to live with David and Jason and make
himself useful.

On the Monday morning he was slightly nervous about meeting Oliver so David
went into the changing room with him just to make sure all was well. When
Oliver saw Tom he came over to him immediately and smiled.

"Tom" he said loud enough for everyone to hear, "I want to apologise for
what I said on Friday. I was totally out of order and I didn't mean what I
said. You are a good dancer and you're better than me at the theory. Will
you forgive me?" Everyone had stopped what they were doing to hear Oliver's
speech and several guys were standing naked about to put on their dance
belts. Even David was taken aback at Oliver's performance but he had the
feeling that he was genuine. Tom accepted the apology and they shook
hands. They then proceeded to get changed and David said he'd see them all
in the studio shortly.

"Before we start" David said once he'd got everyone's attention, "I have an
announcement to make". Everyone looked at David wondering what was about to
come. He then explained that Tom had been made homeless on Friday following
a fire where he lived so was currently staying with him and
Jason. "However, this means that Tom needs to have a paid job to pay for
new lodgings and his living expenses since he won't be living with his
parents anymore so I've employed him as a Studio Assistant to help me and
Paul with things but he will still continue with dancing when necessary. He
is not your lackey so I don't want to hear anyone treating him as such. He
reports to me and Paul and nobody else; is that understood?"

Heads nodded looking at Tom. Oliver in particular felt somewhat embarrassed
knowing the upset he'd caused Tom on Friday afternoon. He later spoke to
Tom and said how sorry he was to hear about the fire and hoped everything
worked out okay. David and Paul also noted that Oliver's attitude had
changed considerably for the better so things had worked out for him as
well. They just hoped it lasted.


By the following Friday Tom's new home had been redecorated and a new bed
plus linen and general items that Tom would need had been purchased. David
had not told him what they'd done so after their meal on Friday evening he
presented Tom with the keys to his new home and asked him if he'd like to
go and look at it. Tom's eyes lit up and he jumped up and down like a child
with a new toy. Jason hadn't seen it since it had been finished so he came
along too. When Tom walked in and saw the new bed beautifully made with new
linen plus a new beside lamp, new crockery in the kitchenette and towels in
the bathroom, he gasped and tears of joy filled his eyes. It was a joy to
see and David hugged and kissed him before Jason did the same. David had
also put some food in the small fridge plus some lagers so they invited
Rory in to join them and christen Tom's new home.

"You want to sleep here tonight or start from tomorrow? Jason asked. Tom
said he'd love to sleep there so it was arranged that he and Rory would
come round the following morning to collect Tom's clothes.

"One happy bunny I think" Jason chuckled as they walked back to their
apartment.

"Thanks for doing that for him; he deserves some love and attention" David
replied putting his arm round his lover.


Tom loved his new home and he loved his job. As time went by he became more
and more confident in himself now he was away from his negative
father. David also noticed that his dancing improved even though it was
agreed that he'd never make the top grade but he was a good solid
dancer. David often gave him private lessons after the students had left
since he was busy doing jobs for him and Paul during the day. His piano
playing also came on in leaps and bounds so all was going well. What was
even more amazing was that Oliver and Tom became good friends. David would
often see them chatting in the small restroom everyone used to have their
tea and lunch. Even David and Paul would sit in there sometimes to have
their breaks so as to chat to the students and get to know them.

Oliver's attitude had certainly improved since his outburst with Tom but
every so often he would have spats with other students and David would have
to calm him down. He had the feeling that David had personal issues to
contend with but he could never find out what they were despite trying on
numerous occasions. Each time he tried to probe, Oliver would clam up but
David had a feeling that Tom knew more than he was prepared to divulge
because of his loyalty towards Oliver in their new friendship.

"Do you know what's causing Oliver's problems?" he asked Tom one day but
all that Tom would say was that Oliver had home problems and couldn't say
more.

Matters came to a head a week before Easter. They were practising for a
charity event that David had planned at the Union theatre in the following
November for Worlds Aids Day. It would involve several modern dance pieces
and an excerpt from Swan Lake in which David would dance the part of the
white swan with Tom in a supporting role. Oliver would be taking the lead
in several of the other dances. He'd also planned a live practice
performance of other short dances a month after they returned from the
Easter break. David was confident that Oliver was up to the challenge but
on this particular day he seemed to be all over the place.

"Come on Oliver" David said gently following a particularly bad
performance, "you can do this, I know you can".

"I can't fucking do it; I can't, I can't" he yelled and ran over to the
corner where he threw himself on the floor. Everyone looked on in shock and
things came to a halt. Tom, who'd been playing the piano jumped up and ran
over to his friend. David decided to bring the session to a close and told
the other students to change and go home. When they'd gone he walked over
to where Oliver was kneeling on the floor with his head in his hands.

"What's wrong Oliver?" David said gently as he crouched down and placed an
arm round his shoulders. Tom gave David a pleading look as if to say
'please help him'. He knew why Oliver was upset and had tried to persuade
him that very morning to speak to David but Oliver was too proud to do
so. Tom stood up and said he'd go shower and change.

"Come and sit down and tell me what's wrong". David gently lifted him up
off the floor and led him over to some chairs. They sat and David put a
comforting arm round Oliver to console him.

"I can't do it" Oliver wailed.

"But you can, you're a brilliant dancer and have the ability to do it so
why are you saying you can't?"

"I've got to stop dancing". David was shocked for a moment. Despite the
problems Oliver caused him he was one of his top dancers so in no way did
he want to see him go. He accepted that dealing with disadvantaged guys was
a challenge and sometimes he wondered whether he'd bitten off more than he
could chew but Jason always told him he was doing a fantastic job and to
keep with it.

"Why have you got to stop dancing Oliver?"

"Mum won't pay the fees any longer". David silently gasped. If that was the
only problem then it was easily sorted.

"Why didn't you tell me? We have several students who can't afford the fees
and we support them; in some cases they don't pay anything; that's why I
set the school up for guys who for one reason or another couldn't pay the
fees for normal dance schools, or had home problems that made it difficult
for them. But I thought your dad paid the fees".

"He died from cancer two months ago and mum's boyfriend has told her not to
continue paying them". David was even more shocked. He'd no idea that
Julian's father had died and it seemed it had happened just around the time
of his outburst with Tom.

"Oh Oliver, I'm so sorry but why on earth didn't you tell me; I'm here to
support and help you".

"Didn't think you liked me". That hit David to the core. He pulled Oliver
up close to him and gently kissed the side of his head.

"Oliver, whatever made you think I didn't like you; of course I like you;
you're one of my best dancers; okay I might be hard on you at times but
that's to get you to achieve more so that you'll get to the top because
believe me you can do it Oliver, you really can. If I or Paul have ever
given you the feeling that we don't like you or won't support you then I'm
truly sorry because that's far from the truth. I want to see you achieve
your dream."

Oliver looked up at David with tears running down his face. He'd always
felt he was not liked. Perhaps his own pride had blinkered him. Tom had
always said how much he was admired by David and the others but he'd not
believed it or not wanted to.

"Can your mother no longer afford the fees, is that the problem?"

Oliver shook his head. "She has more than enough money that my dad left but
her boyfriend hates me and calls me a faggot; he's why my dad left her last
year". David hugged him tighter knowing how hurtful parents could be.

"Would it help if I spoke to her?" Oliver shook his head saying she was
dominated by the boyfriend and did everything he told her but David had the
feeling that Oliver was not telling him everything. "Is the issue of the
fees the only thing that's upsetting you?" Oliver shook his head and looked
up at David again with more tears running down his face. "What else is
wrong Oliver, tell me; I can't help if I don't know."

"Personal things" he sobbed in reply.

"Would you like to talk to me about them?" Oliver nodded. "Do you want to
talk now or go home and talk tomorrow?"

"I hate going home" he blurted out, "He shouts at me and calls me a
faggot".

David was beginning to realise what else was going on here so suggested
that Oliver come home with him for a meal so they could talk in
comfort. Oliver nodded and said he'd like to do that so David told him to
go shower, get changed and tell him when he was ready. He gently led him
downstairs and went into the office to call Jason. "I'm sorry love, do you
mind if I bring him home for a meal so we can talk? I get the feeling he
needs some counselling of some sort." Jason said of course he could and
would call Rory to come and collect them. Having changed out of his own
tights and slipped on his casual sweatpants he went to find Oliver and Tom
who were talking in the changing area.

"You ready guys? Rory will be here shortly." Both guys nodded and followed
David down to the main door so he could lock up. Tom generally travelled
with David to the studio now that he lived next door to Rory. They'd walk
to the apartment block to fetch the car and walk home together once Rory
had dropped David off and parked the car. David was pleased to see that Tom
and Rory had become good friends but he had a feeling that's all they were
from comments that Tom had made.


Once in the apartment David sat Oliver down in the living room and sat
beside him. "Now, why don't you go right back to the beginning Oliver and
tell me the whole story and what's going on." After a few moments of
silence, Oliver opened up and told David that his father had been the one
who'd loved dancing, especially ballet and music in general. Seeing his
son's interest it was him who'd suggested that he went to dancing classes
as a child but Oliver had always felt the odd one out amongst all the girls
in the class. When his father read about David's new school he immediately
made the application for his son to attend. Soon after that he'd caught his
mother having an affair with a guy who was a labourer. Oliver had known
about her 'bit of rough on the side' for some time but had said nothing to
his father.

Things came to a head and his father separated from Oliver's mother but
soon afterwards he was diagnosed with cancer of the bladder. He received
treatment but it got progressively worse and he eventually died just before
the time of the fracas with Tom. Whilst Oliver was telling his story, David
held his hand which he found comforting. As soon as his father had died,
the boyfriend moved in.

"I think he's hoping to get his hands on mum's money but before my father
died he transferred ownership of the house to my uncle who is also trustee
of a trust fund which my father set up for me but I won't have access to
that until I'm eighteen in just over a year's time." David remembered that
Oliver had become seventeen two months ago. "But she still has quite a lot
of money from my father's estate".

It seemed Oliver's mother was besotted with this guy and was completely
ruled by him. "He hates me because he knows I can see what he's up to so he
makes my life a misery. He considers ballet is for queers and keeps calling
me a faggot." David squeezed Oliver's hand and looked into his eyes. He
could tell there was still more but Oliver seemed reluctant to say what.

"Does your uncle know that the boyfriend has moved in?" Oliver nodded. "So
basically you feel you're living in a hostile environment with someone who
doesn't like gays." Oliver nodded again looking down at his hand clasped in
David's. "Is that the problem Oliver? Are you struggling with your own
sexuality?"

"Yes and I don't know what to do" he sobbed. David pulled him into his arms
and hugged him.

"How long have you felt like this?" Oliver said he wasn't sure and asked
when David knew he was gay.

David smiled. "From quite an early age; I never felt comfortable with girls
and much preferred the company of boys. My mother said she already knew
when I finally came out but my father couldn't cope with it and wouldn't
speak to me after that. He too considered ballet was for queers so was
ashamed that his son had chosen that career path." Oliver looked at David
astonished. He'd imagined David's parents had supported him all the way. He
then told David that he too had never felt comfortable with girls but had
never had the courage to make friends with boys and explore his feelings.

"Sorry to interrupt guys but the meal will be ready shortly" Jason said
having come out of the kitchen. "Do you need to contact your mum Oliver to
let her know you won't be home for a meal?" Oliver nodded and said he'd
better call her so immediately pulled out his phone. David was still
sitting beside him and Jason stood nearby. To Oliver's horror the boyfriend
answered.

"It's Oliver, could I speak to mum please"

"No you fucking can't; she doesn't want to speak to a faggot" he
shouted. Even David could hear what he said.

"Put her on you fucking bastard, she's my mother and I've a right to speak
to her" Oliver shouted back.

"Just fuck off out of our lives you faggot and find somewhere else to live"
the guy shouted. Oliver went white and threw the phone onto the floor
before bursting into tears. David took him into his arms as he sobbed
whilst Jason picked up the phone and ended the call. Nobody said anything
for several minutes waiting for Oliver to calm down. Both Jason and David
had heard the guy's comments so there was no doubt that Oliver couldn't go
home, at least not that night.

"What am I going to do?" Oliver sobbed once the flood of tears had stopped
flowing.

"First you're going to eat some food Oliver and you're going to stay with
us tonight" Jason said calmly coming over to place a hand on Oliver's
shoulder. David looked up at his lover and mouthed a thank you. Yet again
he'd come to the rescue.

Finally Oliver calmed down and Jason suggested he go to the bathroom to
wash his face before they had their meal. Oliver obediently followed David
as if operating on autopilot. When David returned and went to find Jason in
the kitchen he hugged him.

"What the hell are we going to do?"

"One thing's for sure, he can't go back home with a homophobic bastard like
that living there and it seems his mother won't stand up for him so we'll
have to do what we did for Tom and find him somewhere to live. The school
fees are not a problem since we can cover those but he's going to need some
income to live on until he gets a dancing job." David had frequently told
Jason that Oliver was a star pupil and would achieve great things once his
initial training was over. He even hoped that perhaps he'd be able to get
him into the Royal Ballet School at some point either as a full time
student or on one of their summer courses.

Over their meal, which Oliver picked at since he was so upset and didn't
feel hungry, Jason asked him about the trust fund that his uncle held for
him. "I was wondering if it allowed you any payments to live on before you
reached the age of eighteen". Oliver didn't know. "Would you like me to
speak to him on your behalf and find out for you?" Oliver nodded.

"But what about the school fees and where do I live?" Jason said not to
worry about the school fees since they would be covered by the school's
funds.

"As you know we helped Tom find somewhere to live so we'll do the same for
you if you really can't go back home." Tom had mentioned what David and
Jason had done but didn't think they'd do the same for him.

"Just take each day as it comes for the moment Oliver" David said smiling
at him, "In the meantime you can stay with us so you won't be out on the
street". That seemed to calm Oliver and he ate the plate of cottage pie
that was sitting in front of him.


For most of the evening, Oliver sat in silence. His mind kept going over
things time and time again. He couldn't understand why his mother was so
besotted with this guy and he was trying to get his head round the fact
that he'd now admitted he was gay. He and Tom had become good friends and
now he thought about it he realised that Tom fancied him but had not done
anything untoward. To be honest he liked Tom, in fact he liked him very
much and felt really bad about what he'd said to him on that fateful
day. At the time he was depressed over the death of his father and he felt
jealous of Tom; jealous that he was better than him at theory and the fact
that he was comfortable with being gay and open about it. He regretted his
actions immediately but the words were out and he couldn't take them
back. He should have realised then that David was fair and supportive. When
he found that Tom didn't hold anything against him they'd become close
friends. In fact the only real friend he had.

When it was time to go to bed David led him into the guest room and told
him to let him know if he wanted anything. Oliver slowly undressed down to
his boxer shorts and slipped beneath the duvet cover. As soon as his head
hit the pillow he sobbed.

David meanwhile had started to get ready for bed and was down to his briefs
when Jason came into the bedroom. "Oliver's crying his eyes out; I think
you need to go and comfort him my love". David looked at Jason and then
wrapped his arms round him.

"I'm sorry to bring all these problems home; I'm not sure I can cope with
all this."

"Don't be daft David; I don't mind in the least and you're perfectly
capable; you've been in the situation most of these lads have been in so
you understand; they love and respect you; now go and comfort him; hug him
and let him know that he's loved and got people who will help him get
through this." David nodded, slipped on his robe and went into Oliver's
room. He sat down on the side of the bed and placed a hand on the sobbing
bundle beneath the covers.

"Would you hold me? Please" Oliver said looking up and opening back the
duvet cover for David to get in beside him. David felt his heart go out for
the lad. He fully understood how he was feeling and that he needed someone
to love him and hold him tight to make him feel wanted. The problem was
that it was one of his students in the bed and he was his teacher. Should
he climb into bed and do what was being asked of him? Oliver held his hand
and pleaded with his eyes so David relented and slipped off his thick robe
that would be too hot beneath the covers. As soon as he'd climbed in,
Oliver pulled him up against him and held him tight. David put his arm
round Oliver's naked torso and gently rubbed his back. "Can I kiss you?"
Oliver asked as he moved his lips towards David's. Before David had time to
answer he felt Oliver kiss him fully on the lips. David pulled away
slightly and Oliver looked into his eyes.

"What's wrong? Don't you like me?"

"Oliver, don't be daft, of course I like you but I want you to be sure
about what you're doing."

"I want to know what it's like to kiss a guy." David smiled and moved his
head forward again. This time he let Oliver give him a passionate kiss and
automatically opened his mouth to let him in." Oliver seemed to know
exactly what he was doing as he thrust his tongue inside David's mouth and
rubbed his hand up and down David's naked back. As they kissed David could
feel Oliver's hand slip beneath the waistband of his briefs and feel his
naked globes. He was tempted to stop him but didn't want Oliver to feel he
was being rejected again. Oliver then grabbed David's hand and thrust it
between his legs. He could feel Oliver's hardness forming beneath the thin
material of his boxer shorts. He had no choice but to take hold of it as
Oliver pressed his hand up against it. Still the kiss continued as if
Oliver's life depended on it. David then felt his hand being slipped inside
Oliver's boxers so he could feel the naked flesh. David grasped the now
hard organ and it grew some more. Oliver brought his hand back round to
David's briefs and slipped it inside moving it round to feel his organ. As
expected it had reacted having a seventeen year-old in his arms. Oliver
grasped the naked organ and squeezed it.

"Want you to bring me off" Oliver gasped, having broken the kiss for a
moment. David's mind was in chaos. He knew he shouldn't be doing this but
the lad was urging him on.

"Turn onto your other side" David whispered. Oliver hastily did so pulling
his boxer shorts down his legs as he did so. David grabbed hold of the
fully erect organ and started to massage it with Oliver's hand trying to
make him increase the pace. "Slow down, make it last" David
whispered. Oliver released David's hand to let him massage at the slower
pace. He reached behind him and thrust his hand down inside David's briefs
to grab his rapidly forming erection. Having found it he held it tight
without trying to bring David to a climax. As David gently massaged him
Oliver gasped with pleasure. He'd never had anyone do this to him before
and it was a wonderful experience. He realised that David was right. A slow
massage was so more rewarding than the usual frantic hand job that he gave
himself. Slowly he felt his seed rise and his climax reaching the point
when he knew he was going to spill his juices.

"Ah, yes" Oliver gasped as that final moment came and he emptied himself
into David's hand. When he was done David just held him and gently kissed
the back of his neck. Oliver then pulled David's hand up along his naked
chest and brought it to his mouth. He kissed the palm and held it
tight. "Thank you" he whispered, "That was beautiful".

David continued to hold him whilst he slowly went to sleep. When he could
hear the lad's quiet slumbers he carefully slipped out of the bed and
returned to his own bedroom.

"Okay?" Jason smiled. David nodded as he slipped of his briefs and climbed
into bed. He told Jason what had happened and he chuckled.

"It's not funny; I've just wanked off one of my students"

"But he needed you; having now admitted to himself that he's gay he
naturally wants to find out what it's like to be with another man; you must
have felt the same when you knew you were gay; I certainly did."

"Yeah, but I didn't ask my teacher to wank me off"

"Take it as a compliment my love; not every student would want their
teacher to do so but he trusts and respects you." David sighed.

"When I decided to open a school of dance for disadvantaged guys I
certainly didn't expect to have to deal with their sexuality problems."

"Comes with the territory I guess but he is rather cute isn't he". David
giggled and smacked Jason's naked butt.

"You're incorrigible"


12.

When David woke in the morning he was conscious of a naked Oliver standing
in the open doorway.

"Can I come in?" Oliver asked slowly walking towards the bed.

"Yes come on in Oliver" Jason called out having seen him standing there,
"What can we do for you?"

"I wanted a hug" he whispered.

As David was wondering how to respond Jason hopped out of bed and held the
duvet open for Oliver to get inside. "Come on, we'll give you a
hug". Oliver glanced at Jason's nakedness and felt his own organ
react. When he moved up against David's naked body it reacted some more
until it was fully erect. David could feel it pressing against his morning
wood but tried to ignore it. Instead he put an arm round Oliver's nakedness
and hugged him. Jason moved up behind him and pressed against his buttocks
placing his hand round him as well. Oliver gave a contented sigh and
lightly kissed David.

"Thank you, I was feeling lonely".

Jason moved his hand down into Oliver's crotch and grasped the hard
organ. He guessed it would now be hard. It made his own go hard and Oliver
could feel it pressing against him. He reached behind him and took hold of
it. His own hand was now round David's feeling the hardness of that.

"Would you fuck me?" Oliver asked. David gasped.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea Oliver"

"Why not; I want to feel what it's like to be fucked." Jason chuckled. He
could understand the feeling and thought back to the first time an older
guy took him.

"I'll fuck you Oliver" Jason whispered knowing that David would not want to
do so because of the student teacher issue.

"Oh, yes please, thank you" he said excitedly. He'd watched lots of porn
and tried to imagine what it must be like to be fucked but never had the
nerve to find someone to do it with but he trusted David and Jason.

David looked at Jason across Oliver and raised his eyebrows but decided not
to intervene since he knew if he did Oliver would take it as another
rejection. Jason quickly pulled out a condom and some lube and prepared his
erection.

"I'm going to use my fingers to open you up; okay?" Oliver nodded.

"Just relax" David told him, "It will hurt when Jason breaches you but
after that it will feel good". Oliver nodded as Jason slipped two fingers
inside him and stretched his entrance. That felt good and he liked it,
especially when he hit that special spot inside which sent shivers of
excitement through him.

When Jason was satisfied that Oliver was ready to take him he gently pushed
his organ up against the entrance. "Breathe in and relax" he
whispered. Oliver did that and felt the head push past his tight ring but
as David had said, once inside it felt wonderful. He fully relaxed and
enjoyed the feel of the shaft slipping inside him. "Yes, beautiful" he
muttered. Once Jason was fully inside he stopped to give Oliver time to get
used to his large organ. He then slowly moved back and forth and Oliver
pressed his own erection against David's. Feeling the hard organ press
against him, David decided to slowly massage it. Why not go the whole way
David smiled to himself as he slowly brought Oliver off to a climax.

It didn't take Jason long to reach his and the fact that he was fucking a
virgin helped the process. Suddenly he was releasing his seed inside the
condom whilst Oliver was releasing his into David's hand. When both bodies
had stopped pumping, Oliver grinned. "Thank you". He moved forward and gave
David a hard kiss.

"Hey, what about me?" Jason giggled when the kiss ended. Oliver flipped
over and threw his arms round Jason before giving him a passionate kiss
like he'd given David the night before. David watched on wondering how the
hell he was going to explain this if it ever came out.

"Happy now?" Jason laughed. Oliver nodded.

"Now just need to see what it's like fucking a guy"

"Yeah, well you can find someone else to try that with young man; think
we've given you enough sexual experience for the time being. Go on, go and
get showered and dressed and leave us in peace." Oliver giggled and jumped
out of bed. He'd achieved his goal so he felt satisfied as he ran out of
the room.

"You shouldn't encourage him" David grinned once Oliver had left them.

"Oh go on with you; didn't you want know what it was like to be fucked when
you first admitted you were gay?"

"Yes, but as I said last night I didn't get my teacher to do it, mores the
pity because one of mine was very delectable."

"You're too hard on yourself" Jason replied as he kissed his lover,
"Talking of which perhaps I should do something about this". He then
slipped down the bed and took David's hard organ into his mouth and sucked
him off.


Over breakfast Jason told Oliver that he and David were spending Easter at
his country house in Woodcote.

"Tom is joining us as he's on his own so you're welcome to come too if
you'd like to Oliver". Since he had nowhere else to go he said he'd love to
but first he'd need to go home and collect some clothes.

"I take it the boyfriend works" David said. Oliver nodded. "So your mum
will be on her own will she?" Oliver nodded again. "Would you like me to
come with you?" Oliver nodded and smiled. He'd like that very much since he
didn't relish the thought of seeing his mum on his own.

When Rory arrived to take David to the studio he asked for Tom to come up
to the apartment. As soon as he saw Oliver he rushed over to him and hugged
him. David explained what had happened and that he'd spent the night there.

"I'm taking Oliver home to collect some things and he's joining us for
Easter". Tom's face lit up with delight. David asked him to explain to Paul
that he'd be in after lunch and he'd fill him in with what had been going
on. He then spoke to Rory and asked him to drive Tom to the studio and come
back to take them to Wimbledon where Oliver lived. Tom gave Oliver a
parting kiss and skipped off downstairs.

"Those two are in love" Jason whispered whilst he and David were making
their bed since Juan wasn't due in that day. David looked at him with a
furrowed expression.

"What makes you say that?"

"Can see it in their eyes; you're slipping my love"

"I'm more concerned about what the hell we do with Oliver after Easter; he
can't stay here forever."

"Don't worry my love; we sorted Tom out and we'll do the same for Oliver;
just relax and have a rest; when we get back we'll see what we can do for
him; besides, you may be able to persuade his mother to see sense and kick
the boyfriend out to allow Oliver to stay at home." David wasn't so sure
about that from what he'd heard but he presumed there might be a chance
once he'd met her.


As they drove to Wimbledon David could sense that Oliver was very
uptight. He held his hand and tried to make him realise he wasn't
alone. The house wasn't as large as David had expected despite it being
obviously expensive. When they pulled up outside, Oliver sat there looking
at it for a moment. "Ready?" David said taking his hand. Oliver nodded and
climbed out.

He opened the front door with his key hoping that perhaps his mother wasn't
in but as soon as she heard the door open she came out of the
kitchen. Oliver introduced David who shook her hand. "Good morning Mrs
Taylor, Oliver stayed with me and my partner last night." Mrs Taylor looked
at her son and felt uneasy.

"I'm sorry Oliver I really am but Frank doesn't want you here"

"So you're letting that bastard kick me out of my own home; what the fuck
is wrong with you mum; I hate you and will never forgive you" Oliver
shouted. Mrs Taylor took a step back somewhat shocked at her son's outburst
but David could understand why he was so angry. He put a hand on Oliver's
shoulder to calm him down but he ran off upstairs in tears.

"Are you sure this is what you want Mrs Taylor? You do realise that you're
turning your own son away."

She nodded slinking back another few steps. "He's adamant, I can't change
his mind; he doesn't like Oliver".

"But he's your son not his, surely that should take precedence".

She nodded again but David could see that she was totally controlled by
this Frank guy and gave up. He decided to go and find Oliver upstairs
instead. When he reached the landing he heard activity going on in a room
at the end so walked along. He gently pushed the door open to find Oliver
packing all his clothes and personal belongings into two large holdalls and
a cardboard box. He looked at David with tears still running down his face
as he packed. David said nothing and helped him. There was no doubt that he
was clearing his room of all his things and taking as much as he
could. After about fifteen minutes they'd packed all the clothes that he
wanted into the holdalls and his books and CDs into the cardboard box. He
slipped his laptop into the top of a holdall and looked round to see if
there was anything else.

"Are you sure you want to do this Oliver?"

"It doesn't look as if I've got a choice does it" he retorted before
throwing his arms round David. "What the fuck am I going to do?" David
patted his back and held him tight for a moment.

"We'll sort something out for you, don't worry".

Having checked he'd got everything they carried the two holdalls and the
box downstairs. David opened the front door and indicated for Rory to come
and help them carry the things to the car. Mrs Taylor just stood and
watched them saying nothing. When everything was packed into the boot of
the car Oliver threw his house keys onto the floor by her feet. She looked
down at them afraid of what her son was going to do next. "Where will you
go?" she whispered.

"What the fuck do you care; I never want to see or hear from you again but
I'm going to tell Uncle John what you've done" Oliver shouted back as he
stormed out the house. David nodded to Mrs Taylor and followed him. He
couldn't blame Oliver for his reaction, he'd felt the same when his father
made his views known and disowned him.

The journey back to the apartment was made in silence with David holding
Oliver's hand. He was shaking, not with rage but with fear as to what the
future was going to be. David tried to console him but Oliver was not the
easiest to deal with once he was in this kind of mood despite what had
happened in bed that morning. Once they were back, Rory helped them take
everything up to the apartment and put them in Oliver's room. David showed
him where he could hang his clothes and left him to it. He suggested to
Rory that he make himself a cup of tea so he went off to the kitchen.

"I can't believe that a mother would do that to her son" Rory exclaimed as
David showed him where things were.

"Just shows how lucky you are Rory to have a dad who loves you". Rory
nodded. Yes he was very lucky. David went to find Jason who was working in
his study to give him the latest news.

"It doesn't surprise me from what I heard last night; how is he?"

"Sulking" David grinned.

"Ah well, you're good with sulky teenagers my love so go and make him feel
wanted". David walked back into Oliver's room and found that he'd unpacked
most of his things so it seemed he'd accepted the situation.

"You okay?" David asked as he moved over to where Oliver was standing.

"Yeah, thanks for coming; perhaps one day she'll come to her senses but if
she thinks she can come sobbing on my shoulder when the time comes she's
got another think coming." David said nothing. What was the point but he
had the feeling that Oliver would forgive her if and when the time came.


David decided to go into the studio before lunch and leave Oliver with
Jason since he was working at home all day. Having kissed Jason he hugged
and gave Oliver a gentle kiss on the side of his head before following Rory
downstairs. When he reached the studio Tom came running up to him to find
out how Oliver was and what had happened when they went to Oliver's
home. David suggested he joined him and Paul in the office so he could
brief them both together. He felt Tom should know the whole story if he was
going to be any support to Oliver.

Paul gasped when he heard the whole story. "What the hell is wrong with
parents? Why can't they accept us for what we are?" David shrugged his
shoulders.

"If I knew the answer to that Paul I'd be able to solve a lot of problems
in life". Paul nodded knowingly. They talked about what to do with the
students and decided to close the school mid afternoon after they'd had a
short practice in the main studio. Paul and his boyfriend were going away
for Easter so it suited him.

When the other students had gathered upstairs several wanted to know where
Oliver was and whether he was coming back. David explained he'd be
returning after the Easter break. He was pleased to see that everyone was
pleased to hear that and wanted him there.


"See you in the morning Tom" David said once Rory had taken them back to
the apartment. Rory was also going away for two weeks with his dad so he
wished him a happy Easter holiday. When he got upstairs he found Oliver on
his laptop in the living room. Jason had given him access to the WiFi so he
was busy surfing the net. He smiled and looked somewhat calmer as David and
Jason kissed each other. He'd also packed a few things for his time in the
country and was looking forward to spending two weeks with Tom.

Jason had also spoken to Oliver's Uncle and explained the situation. He was
not surprised at his sister in law's behaviour but felt sorry for Oliver
who he'd always liked. The problem was that he lived down in Cornwall. He
knew that Oliver loved his dancing so wouldn't want to move down there to
live with him but he did tell Jason that he could release a monthly
allowance from the trust fund for Oliver to use as living expenses. Jason
said they would sort accommodation out for Oliver once they returned after
Easter.

David meanwhile had persuaded Oliver's mother to transfer a sum of money
into her son's account to tide him over for the time being. She'd said she
would do that before Frank came home so he couldn't stop her so the first
thing Oliver did once he'd got internet access was check his account. She
had done that so he felt a bit better towards her and sent an email to
thank her. When David finally sat down with a large gin and tonic to relax
after the day's traumas, Oliver shuffled up beside him and kissed him.

"Thank you for everything and I'm sorry I got so upset with mum". David
hugged him and kissed him back.

"Everything will work itself out, you'll see; just give it time and enjoy
the next two weeks with Tom; I want you back on form when the school
reopens in three weeks' time." Oliver nodded and smiled. "You and Tom seem
to get on really well don't you?" Oliver smiled.

"Yeah, we do, I'm very fond of him; he's a lovely guy". Jason looked at
David knowingly. Love was definitely in the air.


Jason decided to leave mid morning the following day in order to miss the
busy traffic. Tom arrived with his bag packed for the two weeks away and
hugged and kissed Oliver as soon as he saw him. Jason and David looked on
and smiled at each other.

"You guys want to take the bags down to the car and pack it up then?" Jason
said looking at the two young bucks. He was looking forward to spending two
weeks away with these two lads. Tom and Oliver grinned and set to work
leaving David and Jason to lock up.

"I'm looking forward to spending a whole two weeks away with you without
work problems despite taking one of them with us" David grinned as he
pulled Jason into a passionate hug and a kiss.

"He'll be fine now he's got Tom" Jason chuckled.


David drove, much to Oliver's surprise, and Jason sat in the front leaving
the two lads to luxuriate in the back. The journey went well so they were
soon driving up to the house having gone through the large wrought iron
gates. Oliver and Tom gasped as they saw where they were going to spend the
next two weeks and grinned at each other. As the car pulled up outside the
front door Robert came out to greet them. Once he was introduced to the two
lads he helped them get the luggage out.

"I'll leave you guys to decide whether you want to share a room or sleep
separately" Jason told Tom and Oliver. The two lads grinned at each other
and followed Robert upstairs. Once up there they whispered for a moment
whilst Robert took Jason and David's bags into their room and then told him
they'd share a room. Once inside they hugged each other and kissed. It was
passionate and both felt their bodies react accordingly. Once they'd
unpacked their clothes they went downstairs to find Jason and David in the
lounge.


Jason meanwhile had led his lover into the lounge knowing what they'd find.

"Oh my god" David exclaimed as he saw a baby grand sitting in one corner.

"I thought you should have a piano here as well as in the apartment so you
can keep practicing, and perhaps get the two lads to practice their
dancing" Jason grinned. David wrapped his arms round him and kissed him.

"Thank you so much". He moved over to the piano and noticed that it was a
Steinway. Jason had arranged for Steinway's to deliver it especially for
him. It was beautiful. David immediately sat down and tried it out.


When Roger came back downstairs, Jason asked "And what did the lads
decide?"

"To share" Robert grinned.

"Mm thought they would".

When Tom and Oliver arrived they found David playing the piano and grinning
like a Cheshire car. They were so going to enjoy their time away and went
over to see the new piano.


13.

That night Tom and Oliver had sex and Oliver's wish to be a top came to
fruition. It was the most wonderful feeling he'd ever experienced and
looked forward to many more. Tom was definitely in love with Oliver but he
didn't expect Oliver's attentions to last since he knew at some point he
would move on as his career progressed. In the meantime he'd make the most
of it.

On Easter Saturday Robert and Sam were out for the evening at a friend's
birthday party. In fact they'd been invited to stay overnight since the
party was likely to go into the early hours so they wouldn't be back until
late Sunday morning. The others therefore fended for themselves but Robert
had prepared a meal for them despite Jason saying they could cope and to
enjoy a night away. Tom and Oliver were in great form and were enjoying
themselves. Having now come out, Oliver used every opportunity to be
amorous with Tom and the other two whenever he had the chance. They'd got
through two bottles of wine for their meal so the two lads, who weren't
used to so much alcohol, were already feeling merry by the time it was
over.

"So what's the entertainment tonight?" Jason laughed as they sat down in
the lounge with yet more drinks.

"How about strip poker?" Jason giggled.

"Yeah, great idea" Jason replied, "You up for that guys?" he asked looking
at Tom and David. Tom grinned and nodded but David was not so sure. He had
no problem with being naked in front of the other guys but he was more
concerned about what it might lead to knowing Oliver. "Come on David, you
don't mind showing us your all do you?" David grinned and reluctantly
agreed not wanting to spoil things.

Jason pulled out a pack of cards and they decided to play sitting on the
floor using the sofas as a backrest. "And between each round we'll each
drink a shot just to make it more interesting". He got four shot glasses
plus a bottle of Vodka and poured the first four shots for them to
drink. Having checked everyone was wearing the same number of items of
clothing the game commenced.

During the first few rounds everyone lost their shoes and T shirts. Tom and
Oliver were becoming giggly with each shot of Vodka between rounds which
Jason thought hilarious. The next round Tom lost his trousers and was down
to his scanty briefs and the one after that David lost his.

"We'll have these two naked shortly Oliver" Jason giggled. Neither Tom nor
David was particularly good at poker so sure enough Tom soon lost his
briefs followed by David. Oliver and Jason seemed very equal at playing
poker but Jason lost his trousers on the next round and Oliver on the one
following. Still the shots were being drunk between rounds, even by David
and Tom who were watching the other two play each round. Once David was
naked, Tom sidled over to him, which did nothing to stop David's body from
reacting by having a naked eighteen year-old sitting on his lap who was
already showing signs of sexual interest and casually massaging
himself. Once Tom realised David was getting hard he played with it whilst
David played with his as they watched the other two battle it out.

"Yes" Jason exclaimed once he'd won the next round, "Get them off Oliver"
he giggled. Oliver stood up and performed an erotic strip act to remove his
briefs as the others watched on. Jason had noticed that Oliver was already
showing signs of interest beneath his briefs so once released it stood out
for all to see. Oliver didn't seem the slightest bit embarrassed about
showing his all and waggled his body to make his erection flap back and
forth.

"Another round?" Oliver giggled, "And the winner can suck the other
off". Jason was up for that so agreed. Oliver was getting very excited at
the thought of sucking off Jason so having downed another shot of Vodka
concentrated on the cards dealt.

"Oh yes" Oliver screamed with delight when he realised he'd won. "Off, off,
off" he cried so Jason stood up and did his striptease. He too was fully
erect so waggled his organ in front of Oliver's face before lying down on
the floor with his knees bent wide open for him to take his prize. Oliver
crawled between Jason's legs and took the rampant organ into his mouth.

Tom turned his head towards David's and kissed him. They were soon lying
flat on the floor with Tom on top of David kissing passionately. Tom then
worked his way down David's body licking and sucking his nipples before
reaching what he wanted to suck. David gasped when he felt Tom's hot lips
surround his organ which was already weeping. Tom was good and David
enjoyed the attention. The action seemed to go on for quite some time
before Tom could taste David's man juice erupting into his mouth. Oliver
meanwhile had tasted Jason's so was feeling very happy. After a short rest
they changed over and Jason sucked Oliver off and David serviced Tom. He'd
got past worrying about teacher student relationships and enjoyed what he
was doing.


It was gone midnight when Jason said it was time for bed so Tom and Oliver
made their way upstairs leaving David and Jason to lock up. They decided to
clear up the debris in the lounge the following morning so Jason led a
somewhat pickled David up the stairs to bed.


In the morning as David went downstairs he poked his head into Tom and
Oliver's room and found them naked on the bed with Oliver riding Tom
clearly enjoying himself. He grinned and decided not to disturb them. When
they came down later for breakfast both had a satisfied grin on their face.

"How are we this morning?" Jason asked.

"Feeling great" Oliver answered for both of them. Tom glanced at David and
grinned knowing he'd seen them at it earlier.

After breakfast had been cleared away David went into the lounge and played
the piano. He wanted to practice some of the music he was planning for the
charity concert in November. The others sat down and listened for a while
but when Oliver recognised what he was playing he got up to practice some
of his ballet moves. After a while he realised his moves were restricted
whilst wearing clothes so he slipped off his T shirt and jeans and danced
in his briefs. Tom decided to do the same so Jason enjoyed watching two
semi naked guys dancing. He could see why David had wanted to keep Oliver
dancing. He really was excellent and imagined him being a top star one
day. It so reminded him of when he'd first seen David dance.

When David stopped playing, Jason applauded the two dancers. "That was
brilliant guys, really brilliant". Both Oliver and Tom beamed. Oliver had
danced the moves he'd said he couldn't do during his last dance session at
the studio and felt very satisfied but he looked at David to see his
reaction.

"That was good Oliver; you see you can do it when you put your mind to it
but you need to make sure your leg is out straight when you make that last
turn; otherwise it was perfect." Oliver beamed and walked over to David.

"Thank you and thanks for having confidence in me". David was touched by
the lad's comments and put his arms round him. Oliver bent down and kissed
David on the lips. It was a full on kiss but David was used to Oliver's
amorous actions by now. He then noticed Tom standing to one side wondering
whether he too would receive praise for what he'd done. David straddled the
piano stool, beckoned him over and gently pulled him down to sit on the end
of the stool in front of him. Tom sat facing David waiting for what he was
going to say.

"Your dancing was beautiful but make sure you flow a bit more when you
move; otherwise it was perfect." Tom beamed and hugged David. He loved it
when David complimented him. He bent forward and kissed him on the lips as
Oliver had done but this kiss was much more passionate and for a brief
moment their tongues explored each other. Tom felt his body react as it
always did when he hugged and kissed his idle. He so loved David even
though he also loved Oliver.

"How you manage to play all that music from memory beats me" Jason called
over from where he was sitting. David grinned saying he didn't know all of
it.

"Will you play the other pieces for us?" Tom asked whilst still holding
David's hands and gazing into his eyes.

"I will if you pop upstairs my love and fetch the music in my
briefcase". Tom beamed and immediately jumped off the stool to run
upstairs. Within a few minute he was back down with the music and David
pulled out what he needed.

He spent the next half hour playing through the various pieces whilst
Oliver danced. Tom sat beside David turning the music when necessary. When
they'd finished, Jason once again applauded as did Tom. David smiled and
blew a kiss to Oliver. "That was much better".

"He's a hard task master isn't he Oliver" Jason laughed but he could see
why it was necessary to continually stretch the lad's ability. He was truly
a beautiful dancer.

David stood up and Jason could tell that his leg was paining him. He'd
noticed several times lately that the leg caused him pain and had suggested
that he go and see the doctor to have it checked out. The reason of course
was because he was pushing himself to dance again but he was beginning to
realise that he was severely limited as to what he could do. He'd already
decided he needed to revise the short excerpt of Swan Lake that he planned
to do at the charity concert and get Tom to come in earlier but he didn't
admit that to Jason.

"Come with me my love" Jason said walking over to the piano, "We'll leave
these two love birds and have a soak in the Jacuzzi. David grinned and
followed his lover upstairs. Once there they stripped off in the bedroom
and walked along to the main bathroom where Jason filled the large oval
bath and flipped the switch for the Jacuzzi.

Downstairs, Oliver moved up to Tom and pulled him into a passionate
kiss. It wasn't long before they'd discarded their briefs and they were
rolling around on the floor enjoying each other's naked bodies with
erections flying high.

"Want to fuck you" Oliver whispered into Tom's ear as he kissed him. Tom
pulled his knees up over his chest and offered himself. Oliver found the
bottle of lube that Jason kept in the lounge and hastily lubricated his
shaft and Tom's entrance. He knelt up between Tom's open legs and pressed
the head of his organ up against it. Tom gasped as he felt Oliver breaching
him and then realised he hadn't used a condom. He looked at Oliver who just
grinned. "Want to feel what it's like to have flesh against flesh". Tom
nodded giving his approval since he too had wanted to do it bareback but
had never had the nerve to ask. He knew he was the first guy Oliver had
fucked so decided to take the risk. "Oh yes, it feels so much better"
Oliver gasped as his shaft slowly sank inside Tom. Once in he slowly moved
back and forth gradually increasing the pace until he was thrusting in and
out with passion. He felt his climax rising and wondered whether he should
pull out but Tom was pulling his buttocks up tight against him so he could
feel Oliver's full length. Suddenly his seed erupted and his body took
over. With each spasm another spurt of seed shot out inside Tom. It was the
most beautiful thing he'd ever felt.

Once he was spent he collapsed on top of Tom and kissed him
passionately. Their mouth's pressed hard together and their tongues flicked
in and out. Finally Oliver pulled away and grinned. "Fuck, that was
brilliant; you must try that". Tom nodded so Oliver flipped over onto his
back and pulled his legs up over his chest to give Tom full access. Tom was
still rock hard so it didn't take long for him to be ready to penetrate
Oliver. He first fingered the entrance to open him up and then pushed his
organ up against it. Oliver relaxed and let him in. Tom gasped as he felt
his flesh slip inside and kept pushing until he was right in. He then
lowered himself over Oliver's chest and kissed him whilst slowly thrusting
in and out. It was the most perfect thing he too had ever experienced. Bit
by bit he increased the speed of his thrusts until he felt his climax
rising.

"Oh fuck, I'm going to come" he gasped as his seed erupted. The orgasm
seemed to last for several minutes and the fact he was leaving his seed
inside the guy he loved excited him. When he'd come down from his high he
collapsed on top of Oliver who wrapped his legs round Tom's buttocks and
held him tight. They kissed yet again until their mouths were sore.

Upstairs, David and Jason were sitting side by side in the Jacuzzi enjoying
the warmth of the water. David's leg soon lost its pain and they played
with each other until both were hard.

"Can we join you?" Oliver said standing at the doorway. David and Jason
looked up and saw two naked guys standing there.

"Yeah, come on in" Jason grinned, "There's just enough room for four". Tom
and Oliver hastily moved forward and climbed into the other end of the oval
bath. Their feet intertwined with David and Jason's and they
giggled. Oliver was sitting opposite Jason so he moved his feet into
Oliver's crotch and grasped the organ which was already erect. "Put your
hands behind your head and I'll bring you off" Jason chuckled. He'd done
this to David so knew he could. David grinned and looked at Tom who seemed
to want the same treatment so he moved his feet into Tom's crotch and
grasped his tool between them. Whilst the two lads sat with their hands
behind their head they let the other two bring them off. It took a while
but eventually both organs were erupting and white globules shot out into
the water. Oliver then took hold of Jason's and Tom did the same to
David. Once they'd worked out the technique to massage the organs with the
soles of their feet they too saw man seed shooting out into the water in
due course.

They'd just finished when Robert appeared at the bathroom door. Nobody had
heard them arrive home so he'd come up to find out what was going on. When
he saw four naked bodies sitting in the bath he grinned.

"Hi Robert, don't think there's enough room for you and Sam unless you sit
on our laps" Jason giggled. Robert grinned and said he'd give it a miss
this time. "Had a good time?" Robert said they had and that the party had
been somewhat wild. "What, lots of sex?" Jason grinned. Robert nodded,
blushing slightly.

"I'd better go and prepare tonight's meal whilst you guys enjoy yourselves"
Robert said making a hasty exit. He'd seen Jason naked on numerous
occasions but to see four gorgeous naked guys clearly having fun made his
own organ jump to attention.


The rest of the holiday was spent relaxing, going out for walks and having
sex although this was confined to their own rooms with their partners from
thereon. David played the piano with Oliver and Tom often dancing and on a
couple of occasions Tom played whilst David practiced the piece he'd
decided to do. It was much shorter than previously planned but he found he
could do that without causing his leg to ache. He got Oliver to dance the
excerpt on one occasion so he could show Tom what he wanted him to do and
where to come in. Tom felt so proud of the fact that he was going to dance
with his idle and Oliver congratulated him on his standard of dancing which
made him feel even better.

On one particular occasion David had noticed Oliver looking rather sad when
he'd finished dancing and called him to the piano. "That was brilliant;
you're improving every time you dance". Oliver was happy to receive the
praise but he still looked sad. "Are you okay?"

"I just wish dad could have been here to see me dance" he said between
tears. David placed his arms round him and hugged him tight.

"I know, it's hard when you lose someone you love but you just have to
imagine him sitting there and feeling proud of you because he would have
been, there's no doubt about that." Oliver nodded trying not to let his
tears become a flood but he did so miss his dad and now he'd fallen out
with his mum he felt so alone sometimes. As if reading his mind, David
added "You know you can always come and talk to me whenever you feel lonely
Oliver. It often helps to talk about the good times you had together when
you feel sad." Oliver nodded and put his head over David's shoulder as they
hugged. He felt so lucky to have someone who understood him and comfort
him.


Finally it was time to return to London. All four were sad to leave because
they'd had a great time but they had to say their farewells to Robert and
Sam. Robert whispered to Tom that he looked forward to seeing him again. He
liked Tom but he found Oliver more difficult to talk to. Tom was always
easy going and full of fun.

Just before they left Tom had spoken to David when he found him
alone. "I've invited Oliver to come and live with me; at least until he can
afford a place of his own." David was surprised to hear this news and
queried whether there was sufficient room in Tom's small flat for two of
them. "It will be tight but I think we can manage and I often spend time
with Rory; I'm sure he won't mind having Oliver join us as well."

"Well, if you're sure; it would solve Oliver's immediate problem but if you
find it doesn't work out then you must let me know and we'll find something
else for him". Tom promised he would do that but he looked forward to
having Oliver live with him even though he knew he would move on in due
course.

"It's a pity the two flats aren't one" Jason commented when he heard the
news. Tom said Rory's and his flat used to be one but they'd been divided
off when they were let.

"The doorway between my room and Rory's hallway is still there but covered
over" Tom said. Hearing that gave Jason an idea but he said nothing for the
time being.


They were back in the apartment by lunchtime so David and Tom made lunch
for everyone whilst Oliver packed up his clothes ready to move to Tom's
that afternoon.

"You're still sure about this are you Tom?" David asked as they prepared
lunch. Tom said he was and David smiled. He could tell that Tom had fallen
for Oliver but he was not so sure the feeling was completely reciprocated
but time would tell. After lunch, David and Jason drove the two lads back
to Tom's. Rory was there so Jason asked him where the doorway was
situated. Rory indicated in the hallway and knocked on the wall. There was
a definite hollow sound where the opening had been boarded over with
plaster board.

"How would you feel if this was opened up to make one large flat with two
bedrooms?" Rory said he was happy to see that done since he and Tom often
spent time together of an evening.

"It would mean they'd have a living room and kitchen to use and we'd still
have our own bedrooms; I'd be happy for the three of us to live together if
it was possible. I have a feeling the landlord would be interested in
selling this flat since he wanted me to buy it but I couldn't afford it so
he agreed to rent; that way the two could be made into one." Jason nodded
and said he'd see if the landlord was around to have a word.

A while later Jason reappeared looking pleased with himself. The landlord
was indeed keen to sell Rory's flat so they agreed to get it valued so that
Jason could make an offer. He also gave Jason a copy of the original plan
which clearly showed the doorway between Tom's room and Rory's hallway. The
current door from Tom's room had been made when the two had been divided
off so that could easily be blocked up.


A few days later a price had been agreed so the legal process of
transferring the lease to Jason was commenced. In the meantime the landlord
was happy to let the opening up of the closed off doorway to be done and
the other doorway closed up. Since Jason had already had a surveyor look at
the property and done all the usual checks when he purchased Tom's flat
there was no need to do that again so the whole process should only take a
few weeks.

A month later, the lease had been transferred into Jason's name and the
building work completed so Rory happily paid his rent to Jason. Oliver had
settled in with Tom and the three got on well together. Tom and Oliver now
made their own way to the studio each morning on the bus but every so often
Tom would go back with Rory to David and Jason's apartment for a meal when
Oliver wanted to do other things. Tom still loved Oliver even though he
knew it was one sided but the sex was good so he settled for that.


14.

Oliver had been invited down to Cornwall to see his uncle over the May bank
holiday and since Rory was also away Tom stayed with David and Jason. The
three got on well together and enjoyed each other's company. On the
Saturday evening Jason suggested they go to a gay club. Tom seldom went to
clubs so he jumped at the idea and David certainly had no objection to
going out for some fun together.

They spent the evening dancing and drinking together and when they were on
the packed dance floor Tom often had his arms round David with Jason
pressed up close behind him. Tom could feel his and David's organs pressing
against each other and Jason's pressing against his butt which made them
grow hard on several occasions. Jason delighted in slipping his hand down
the front of Tom's sweatpants to feel him and then do the same to David. By
the time they left the club in the early hours they were all sexually
charged.

When they got back to the apartment Jason was in a very amorous mood and
pulled them both up close against him. As they kissed he undressed them
until he had two naked guys in his arms. David and Tom just giggled
enjoying it all. Jason stripped off his own clothes and led them both out
to the hot tub which he'd switched on before they'd left earlier. They
climbed in and he got both of them to stand whilst he knelt down taking
their erections into his mouth. He managed to get both in together and
sucked away until he could taste their man juice.

He then jumped out, told them to follow and ran to his and David's bedroom
having grabbed their hands and a towel. A trail of wet footprints was left
behind as they went but he was too sexually charged to worry about
that. The other two were laughing and giggling and enjoying his antics. He
told Tom to kneel up on the bed, grabbed the lube and a condom and got
ready to penetrate him. David was told to lie on his back with his head
beneath Tom so he could suck him off. Once inside Tom and David worked his
magic on Tom's erection, Jason leaned over to massage David's so that all
three organs were being satisfied.

Eventually Jason reached his climax which made Tom reach his. As soon as
David tasted Tom's seed, his own erupted. When they'd all finished they
collapsed onto the bed and kissed. Tom loved the attention and let the
others lick and kiss him all over. When they'd licked and kissed his front
they turned him over and did the same to his back. David worked between his
legs and when he reached Tom's lovely round buttocks he pulled them apart
and pressed his face into the crack. Tom groaned and moaned with pleasure
as he felt David's hot tongue penetrate him. Jason had now positioned his
legs either side of Tom's head so he could suck him off. He then watched
whilst David penetrated him. As he felt David's hard organ inside him, Tom
produced more groans of pleasure which vibrated through Jason. As David
thrust back and forth he reached beneath Tom to grasp his erection. Soon
all three were reaching another climax and yelling their delight as they
did so.

They were now exhausted so climbed into bed with Tom sandwiched between
David and Jason and soon dropped off to sleep. When he woke in the morning,
Tom felt Jason's erection pressing up against his entrance and his own in
David's mouth. He giggled and let the other two guys have their fun. When
they'd finished he told both of them to lie on their stomachs whilst he
fucked each of them one after the other. As he did so David and Jason
kissed passionately whilst enjoying the feel of Tom inside them as he
flipped from one to the other until he was spent.

Tom decided it was the best weekend ever and one he would not forget for a
long time.


By the end of May, David decided that everyone was ready for a live
performance in front of invited guests. They planned the one night event
when the Union theatre was free between other productions. All those taking
part were both excited and nervous but David had every confidence in
them. On the afternoon before the production that evening they all went to
the theatre to do a final rehearsal. Apart from a few minor hitches they
all performed perfectly. Unbeknown to the students David had invited
several dance experts to see them so they could receive feedback
afterwards. There were around thirty people in the audience some of whom
were parents of students. Oliver once again wished his dad was there to
watch him dance but once David had given him a pep talk he concentrated on
the task in hand. He was determined to dance his best performance ever, not
only for his own satisfaction but also to thank David for his patience and
support.

David played the piano which was positioned to one side of the stage and
he'd persuaded two violinists to join him to augment the music. To start he
played an opening piece to set the mood which the audience loved. He then
launched into the music for the first dance and Oliver glided onto the
stage with others following him. Jason, who was sitting in the front row,
heard several gasps as people watched Oliver's performance. It was truly
beautiful and Jason felt so proud of his lover knowing what he'd gone
through to get Oliver to this stage. The guy was certainly destined for
higher things.

Every dance went as planned and David was pleased with everyone's
performance. When the concert came to an end the whole audience gave the
dancers a standing ovation. Jason then went on stage to announce that
several dance experts were in the audience and one in particular would like
to say a few words.

"So I'd like you to give a warm welcome to Mark Bates". David was standing
in the front row with the dancers behind and either side of him. When the
name was announced he heard several gasps from dancers who knew of Mark
Bates.

"First of all" Mark started, "I'd like to thank all the dancers for giving
us a wonderful performance this evening; it was just amazing and they
should all feel very proud. I'd like to make particular mention of this
young man whose name is Oliver. I'm sure you'll all agree that he danced
magnificently. I've only once before seen someone of his age dance at that
level of competence and I'll tell you who that is in a minute but Oliver,
you should be very proud of your achievement and I'm certain you've got a
great career ahead of you."

Oliver was standing beside David who put his arm round him and gave him a
hug. He blushed as he always tended to do when he was given a compliment
even though he enjoyed receiving it.

Mark continued, "I'd also like to mention the backing dancers since so
often they are forgotten yet they form an important part of any
production. In particular I think this young man should be pointed out."
Mark indicated Tom who was standing on the other side of David. "From what
I saw he was in almost every dance yet he showed us the same level of
energy and dance standard throughout so well done." David hugged Tom and
gave him a kiss on the side of his head.

"Now, the person I referred to earlier is a guy I first saw dancing when he
was eighteen. I realised immediately that he had star quality but due to a
tragic accident just over three years ago his career was brought to an
abrupt end. The person I refer to is of course David James who started this
school just over six months ago. However, his misfortune was the good
fortune of all the students who are now benefitting from his excellent
skills and talent. He's not only the principal teacher and mentor for the
students but he's their choreographer and musical director. So you guys are
very lucky."

Mark made this last remark to the students standing round David and they
all clapped along with the audience. David grinned and Tom squeezed David's
hand that he was now holding. He was so proud of him and loved him to bits.

"Just one final thing I'd like to say" Mark continued, "I attended tonight
with an ulterior motive; not only to see young dancers dance but also to
talent spot because as many of you will know I recently started up my own
dance group so over the next few months will be looking for young dancers
to join me. I've already spotted several potential candidates so keep up
the good work guys."

When Mark had finished speaking, David stepped forward to thank him for his
kind comments. "I'd also like to thank you the audience for coming along to
see the students perform this evening since dancing before the public is a
major part of their development. Next I'd like to thank a man who often
stays in the background yet is always there to support me and the students
when required and is a brilliant teacher. I refer of course to Paul so come
forward and take your rightful place." Paul reluctantly stepped forward and
gave a bow. "Finally, I'd like to thank the man who made all this possible
because without his support in terms of finance, encouragement and moral
support, these students would not be here, so come forward my love." Jason
grinned and moved up to where David was standing. They hugged and kissed in
front of everyone as the students and the audience applauded. "Thank you my
love" David whispered.

Once the proceedings were over David went backstage to the main dressing
room where all the students were busy getting out of their tights. "Guys,
you all did brilliantly tonight so thank you but don't forget that this is
just the beginning and we have another performance to work towards in
November. That one is every night for a week so will be much more
challenging than this so don't let the praise go to your heads too much."
Everyone grinned. "I know also that for some of you it's been a difficult
journey due to home problems or parents who have not supported you but
hopefully once they read the press reports, which I'm certain will be good,
they will realise that dancing is just as much a career for boys as for
girls." Everyone cheered at that remark.

David then moved over to Oliver to congratulate him on his performance. "I
did as you suggested and imagined my dad sitting in the audience feeling
proud of me; it made me give it my all." David patted his back and looked
round at the other students. He noticed one of his other star dancers
looking somewhat despondent. "Are you okay Wayne?" David knew his mother
had died a few months previous but wasn't sure if his father was in the
audience. Wayne nodded but David could see he wasn't.

"Did your father come do you know?" Wayne shook his head and David noticed
tears forming in his eyes.

"He thinks I shouldn't be wasting my time dancing" Wayne murmured, "It was
mum who wanted me to do it". David pulled Wayne into his arms and held him
tight. He'd taken off his tights and was standing in his dance belt so
David gently rubbed his hand up and down Wayne's naked backside.

"Your mum would have been proud of you Wayne so don't you forget that and
perhaps once your dad sees the press reports he'll change his mind; you
will continue won't you". Wayne nodded since he loved dancing but he wasn't
so sure that his father would change his mind.

He then found Tom who threw his arms round David as soon as he came
near. "You did brilliantly" David told him knowing how worried Tom had been
about performing.

"Thank you for believing in me and your help; I'd never have done it
without you." David kissed him and rubbed his naked butt since he too was
standing in his dance belt. As David moved to go to his own dressing room
he saw Paul.

"Thanks once again Paul and I meant everything I said earlier; without your
support I couldn't have achieved all this." Paul was not good at accepting
praise so just smiled as David hugged and kissed him. He loved the job and
working with David so his thanks were not really necessary but it was good
to receive them all the same.

When David finally got back to his own dressing room he found Jason
standing inside waiting for him. They immediately fell into each other's
arms and kissed passionately before David slipped off the frilly white
shirt and the black trousers he'd worn. Jason couldn't stop himself from
taking the almost naked David into his arms again and hugging him
tight. "God I so love you" Jason managed to say between kisses. David felt
Jason's body pressing against his and as usual it caused the usual
reaction.

"You're making me hard" David giggled as he pressed his erection against
Jason's.

"If we had time I'd ravish you here and now" Jason chuckled slipping his
hand down inside David's briefs to feel the naked flesh of his buttocks,
"but I've booked a table at our favourite Italian restaurant so we need to
get moving. I take it both Tom and Oliver are joining us and I was thinking
of inviting Rory as well if you don't mind. What about Paul, is he coming?"
David said he'd love to have Rory join them since he was very much part of
the family now but Paul had declined the invitation. Although Marcus, his
boyfriend, had been in the audience he was somewhat shy and not good at
socialising so Paul had thanked David but declined the offer.

David quickly got dressed trying to make his erection go down but without
much success. He noticed Jason's was also filling his jeans as they made
their way along to the stage door to collect Tom and Oliver. They thanked
Harry the doorman and went outside to find Rory with the car. As they came
out of the theatre a group of louts were standing across the road leering
at them. "Here are the ballet poofs" one of them shouted. Jason looked at
them and was about to cross the road to confront them but David said to
ignore them and got into the back of the car. Tom and Oliver hastily
climbed in beside him so Jason did ignore them having given them a black
look and climbed in the front. Being dancers the other three always walked
as if they were dancing so it was obvious what they were but it made Jason
angry that such people should get away with making those comments. It was
what he loved about David and the guys he taught so was always prepared to
stand up for them.

Tom pressed himself up against David as they drove off and David took hold
of his hand. Tom put his hand into Oliver's lap to hold his but he moved it
as if he didn't want it held. It saddened Tom since he loved Oliver even
though he knew it was one sided. He was happy to be good friends and to
share his bed but in public he never wanted to show any love towards Tom
even though he did now often make positive comments about his
dancing. Oliver loved sex with Tom but that was where it stopped. He knew
David on the other hand loved him as a person despite being madly in love
with Jason but somehow it worked and all three were happy to show their
love for each other. Since the trip to Woodcote at Easter Jason had
frequently taken Tom into his arms and kissed him like David did so he knew
he was loved by both of them.

After the meal, which they all enjoyed, Jason told Rory to drive first to
his flat to save him, Tom and Oliver having to walk from the apartment late
at night. Once the three had climbed out and Jason had slipped into the
driver's seat, David moved into the seat beside him. They waved to the
three guys as they disappeared through the front door and Jason drove
off. "Young Tom really loves you doesn't he" Jason commented.

"And you too" David replied.

"Yes I know but you're the special one in his life; it's a shame Oliver
hasn't fallen in love with him".

"Are you jealous my love?" David giggled placing a hand onto Jason's thigh.

"Of course not but he is madly in love with you which I find rather sweet"
Jason replied as he placed his hand on top of David's and moved it into his
crotch. David could feel the hard organ beneath and gave it a squeeze.

"Mm now that feels nice" he chuckled.

"It'll feel even nicer once it's deep inside you when we get home" Jason
laughed. David loved Jason's amorous comments and never tired of them.

Once Jason had parked the car and he'd punched in the code to take them
straight up to the apartment, he moved behind David, flung his arms round
him and opened up his jacket before lifting his T shirt to expose naked
flesh. By the time the lift stopped one hand was tweaking David's nipples
which were soon hard and his other was feeling the hardness down below
having unzipped his fly. David felt behind and groped the hard organ that
would soon be inside him. As soon as they were inside the apartment Jason
undressed David flinging his clothes on the floor. Once he was naked he
undressed himself and then grabbed hold of the erection that was standing
out proud and led David by it to their bedroom.

"Face down on the bed my love" Jason instructed in a low sexy voice. David
loved it when Jason took control like this so immediately obeyed waiting to
feel the penetration which he knew was about come. Jason grabbed the lube,
slicked his shaft and pressed the head against David's puckered hole.

"Oh yes that feels so good; I've wanted to do this all evening" Jason
exclaimed as he slowly pushed inside until the full length had
disappeared. He felt beneath David and grabbed his erection which was now
weeping like mad. As he plunged in and out he massaged David who groaned
and moaned with pleasure.

"I'm going to come" David gasped a while later. The feel of Jason inside
him was so wonderful and with each thrust it hit his gland inside.

"Let it come" Jason giggled, "you'll have more for me later".

Once both had finished their climax Jason collapsed on top of David and
locked their mouths together. They kissed and kissed until they were ready
for another round. Jason rolled the pair of them over so he was beneath
David who then worked his way down Jason's body. When Jason felt David's
hot lips surround his manhood he gasped. As he sucked, David fingered Jason
pressing that special spot inside causing his whole body to jump up and
down. He grabbed the lube, prepared his shaft and slipped it inside him
keeping his eyes on his lover. Once fully inside he lowered his body over
Jason and they kissed yet again. Slowly he moved his buttocks up and down
making sure that each thrust produced the maximum pleasure for Jason. He
reached beneath their bodies and grabbed Jason's organ that was fully
exited again and waiting. Once he could feel his own climax coming he
increased the pace until they were both gushing forth.

"Oh yes" Jason yelled as his whole body jerked up and down along with
David's. Finally they came to an end and David collapsed on top of Jason.

"Wow, that was brilliant" David exclaimed once he'd got his breath back.

"Mm I so love having sex with you my love; you hit all my buttons".


The following morning when David arrived at the studio he sensed that
something was troubling Paul. When he asked if everything was okay Paul's
eyes filled with tears. David quickly led him into the office and sat him
down.

"What's wrong Paul, what's happened? Paul looked at him for a moment before
answering.

"It's Marcus; he's had a heart attack". David gasped and took hold of
Paul's hands sitting down beside him as he did so.

"When did this happen?" Paul said Marcus had suddenly had pains in the
chest around nine the previous evening and a short while later he collapsed
into Paul's arms. For a moment David thought Marcus had died until Paul
explained he called an ambulance and they took him to the London Chest
Hospital.

"Is he okay?"

"They're going to fit a stent this afternoon"

"Why didn't you call me?" Paul said he didn't want to bother David.

"Paul, you're my closest friend; you can call me day or night; but why are
you here, you should be at the hospital with him." Paul looked at him and
then said he had a class to take that morning.

"Fuck the class Paul, Marcus needs you so off you go and don't come back
until you know he's going to be okay" David told his friend as he gently
lifted him up to urge him on.

"Are you sure?"

"Go, go right now that's an order" David smiled and gently kissed Paul on
the cheek. Paul looked at David and then wrapped his arms round him placing
his head on his shoulder.

"I thought I was going to lose him David, I really did". David hugged him
tight and kissed the side of his head.

"Next time something happens call me immediately but go and show him you
love him and give him my love too but call me later to say how he is". Paul
nodded, collected his jacket and finally left.

Once he'd gone, David went into the classroom where a group of students
were waiting expectantly. When they saw David instead of Paul eyebrows were
raised.

"Sorry guys but you've got me this morning because Paul has had to rush off
for personal reasons. He knew how private Paul was about his personal life
so didn't want to tell them exactly what had happened. "Right, what are we
doing?" Tom looked at David sensing that something serious had happened to
Paul but told him what Paul was going to do with the class. David's heart
sank. He had never been that good with theory, especially this particular
bit.

"Tell you what, why don't we go upstairs to the studio and I'll show the
practice to match the theory". The students all cheered. They much
preferred having a dance lesson to theory although they knew they had to do
it for their exams.

"Do we need to change sir?" one of the students asked. David said they
needn't bother provided they had their ballet slippers. They'd lost enough
time already without losing more whilst they changed.

As they all made their way upstairs Tom came up to David. "Is Paul okay?"
David told him what had happened but not to tell the others since he wasn't
sure Paul would want everyone to know.

"Right" David said once he had everyone's full attention, "I need someone
to demonstrate what we are going to talk about." Nobody rushed forward so
Tom said he would.

"Is it okay if I take my jeans off?"

"Yeah Tom, get them off" several guys called out. David grinned and nodded
to Tom who not only removed his trousers but his T shirt as well since it
flapped around. Since he hadn't expected to dance that day his ballet
slippers were in his locker so he said he'd dance in bare feet. Several
guys wolf whistled once Tom was down to his scanty briefs.

"Okay, calm down" David grinned, "otherwise I'll get all of you to strip to
your briefs". There was a general titter and David had the feeling that
several guys would have been more than happy to do so.

They spent the rest of the class with David using Tom to demonstrate the
various moves and turns that Paul would have covered in his theory
class. He then got the students to do them and several did strip down to
their underwear which caused interest in some quarters.

Late afternoon Paul phoned David to say that Marcus had been fitted with
his stent and all was well so would be allowed home the following
morning. David told Paul not to come to work the next day but instead take
his boyfriend home and look after him. "I'll pop by tomorrow afternoon if
that's okay" David added before ending the call.


The following afternoon on his way home, David got Rory to take him round
to where Paul lived. Marcus was looking well as if nothing had happened but
Paul was still fussing around him.

"Will you tell him David that I'm not about to kick the bucket and that I'm
fine now; he's doing my head in" Marcus laughed.

"You scared the shit out of me" Paul answered back.

"I know my love but I'm fine now; please tell him David he can return to
work tomorrow so I can get some peace." David laughed and enjoyed the
banter between the two guys.

"If you're sure you are okay Marcus" David finally replied.

"Yes I am" he exclaimed, "Okay sex may have to be put on hold for a while
but I'm sure I can find other ways to satisfy his daily needs". David
laughed again knowing that Paul and Marcus led a very active sex life like
him and Jason since Paul had often talked about what they did with each
other. Paul looked embarrassed and flicked his partner round the head.

"Well, it's good to see you're okay Marcus but take it easy; this guy
worships the ground you walk on" David chuckled as he pulled Paul into a
hug.

"I know he does and I know I'm a lucky guy to have someone who loves me as
much as he does" Marcus grinned and blew a kiss to his boyfriend. Paul
blushed as Marcus then pulled him into a passionate kiss whilst David
looked on.

"Okay, time for me to go I think and leave you two love birds but remember
Marcus, no overdoing it"

"Thanks for coming David and I promise only to give him a hand job"

"What do you do with him" Paul exclaimed as he showed Paul out.

"Make the most of it Paul" David laughed as he walked out the door.


15.

A few days after the concert, Mark Bates had a meeting with David and asked
him if he'd be willing to take on the training of some of his younger
dancers. David was more than happy to do so especially since Mark would be
paying for them. It was agreed that the students concerned would come to
the studio twice a week for a dance lesson and that some of David's
students would join them. Mark had already discussed with David six
students he was interested in offering places with his new dance group but
didn't want to say anything to them at present. In the meantime he'd come
along every so often to see how they were progressing and make his final
decision after the next concert. Oliver was one of the students selected as
was Wayne. Mark was also interested in Tom as a support dancer but Tom had
made it clear that he didn't want to join a dance group but instead wanted
to remain working at the school. He loved working with David and in due
course aimed to become a teacher in his own right.

Several weeks after Mark's students had been coming each week for their
training, Jason and David were going to Woodcote on the Friday morning and
then onto Jason's parents on the Saturday because it was his mother's
birthday. As Oliver had said he was going to be away visiting a friend in
Leeds that weekend and Rory wanted to spend time with his dad, they'd
invited Tom to join them knowing how much he enjoyed his time at the house
in Woodcote. They'd thought about taking him with them to Jason's parents
in Marlborough but decided it might be too much for his father to stomach
having three gay guys staying apart from trying to explain why Tom was with
them.

Tom seemed to be spending more and more time with them these days because
Oliver was frequently out of an evening. Tom had also noticed that Oliver
seemed less interested in having sex with him since the students from the
Mark Bates group had started coming and he had a feeling that Oliver was
seeing one particular student called Tristan. Oliver had been very
secretive about his evening's out but he always came back looking very
happy and wasn't interested in Tom's amorous advances when they went to
bed.

David had noticed that Tom and Oliver weren't quite as close as they used
to be and had commented to Tom but in his usual way he just brushed it off
so David didn't push it. He did however mention it to Jason and they
discussed one evening what they could do if things become untenable for Tom
and Oliver to remain living together.

"He could always come and live with us" Jason had said much to David's
surprise. "He worships you and to be honest I like having him around, apart
from the odd threesomes we have together" Jason chuckled. "How would you
feel about having Tom live with us permanently?" David said he'd be more
than happy with that. He'd grown extremely fond of Tom and knew Tom's
feelings towards him but he also knew that Tom would never do anything to
try and come between him and Jason. It was decided therefore to see how
things progressed but to be ready to make the offer to Tom should it become
necessary.

When David had finished his class on the Thursday afternoon he called
everybody to attention before he let them go home. "I just wanted to say
that I'll not be here tomorrow or Monday and that Paul will be in charge."
He then grinned and added, "And if anyone misbehaves whilst Paul's in
charge he'll put you over his knee and spank you". The comment caused a
ripple of laughter amongst the students and David had a distinct impression
that one or two wouldn't mind being put over Paul's knee and spanked.

Before he left for the evening he arranged with Tom that he'd come to the
apartment first thing in the morning to travel down to Woodcote. Tom
couldn't wait to spend four days away with David or Jason for that matter,
and he rather looked forward to having some time alone with Robert and Sam
on the Saturday since Jason had said they'd be away overnight and not back
until the Sunday.


"Hello my love" David said cheerily when Tom arrived the following morning
with his holdall but he noticed that Tom was not his usual bouncy self as
he walked in. "You okay?" David asked taking Tom into his arms before
giving him his usual kiss. Tom nodded but David was not convinced. "What's
the matter my love?"

"It's Oliver; I'm not sure he's really going to Leeds to see a friend; I
think he's spending the weekend with Tristan because Tristan mentioned to
me that his parents were away this weekend." Tristan was just eighteen and
lived with his parents who seemed very keen for him to be a top class
dancer.

"I'm sorry my love; are things between you and Oliver becoming strained?"
Tom said they were to a point but he'd see how things went for a while
longer so David decided not to mention Jason's idea of Tom moving in with
them just yet.

"Hi gorgeous" Jason said cheerily when he saw Tom. This at least lifted
Tom's spirits and he beamed feeling his whole body fill with excitement of
what was to come.

When they arrived at the house, Robert was already on the doorstep ready to
greet them and take their bags. David smiled when he saw Robert give Tom a
big hug and a kiss so that at least made Tom feel happier.

That afternoon Jason had various people to meet to discuss estate matters
and in the evening he had to attend a local committee meeting which he was
expected to go to. He'd told David that he was sorry he had to leave him
but he felt duty bound to attend. David had kissed him and said he'd be
fine since he'd have Tom's company apart from Robert and Sam's. Jason had
at last persuaded them to all eat together since he felt it rather odd that
they had their meals in the kitchen whilst the others sat in the dining
room. Eventually they agreed and enjoyed the company but Jason had a
feeling it might well have been due to Tom's presence.

After they'd eaten and Jason had gone off to his meeting, Robert and Sam
went to their room to watch television so left David and Tom to make their
own amusement. David played the piano for a while and practised the Swan
Lake excerpt he'd be dancing at the concert in November. Since Tom was
going to be dancing with him he immediately jumped up, stripped down to his
briefs, and started dancing. He had been so chuffed when David had asked
him if he'd like to perform with him and wanted it to be perfect so he
practised whenever he could. As David played he watched Tom do his
piece. He really had come on leaps and bounds since he'd first known him
and felt very proud. There were a few minor faults but he said nothing not
wanting to spoil Tom's enjoyment having decided those could be ironed out
later.

"That was beautiful my love" David said when he'd finished playing. Tom
looked at David and grinned. He loved receiving David's praise, in fact he
loved David full stop. David got up from the piano and walked to where Tom
was standing. He took him into his arms and gave him a passionate kiss. Tom
was a great kisser so quickly joined in opening his mouth to let David
in. As they kissed he could feel David's hands caressing his semi naked
body and slipping down inside the back of his briefs to feel his butt.

"Mm" Tom groaned and pressed his crotch, which was now showing a definite
bulge, up against David's. He too was getting hard and Tom gave more groans
of approval as they kissed. He slipped a hand between them and held the
long hard roll giving it a gentle squeeze to encourage it further. David's
hand was now right down inside Tom's briefs feeling his entrance and then
moving round the front to feel his naked flesh. Both groaned and moaned
their pleasure as the hands worked their magic. Tom deftly unfastened
David's trousers and pulled the zip down so he could gain access to the
naked organ inside. It didn't take long for his trousers to be round his
ankles and since they seldom wore shoes in the house, David kicked the
trousers off to one side. Still the passionate kiss continued with groans
and moans as they did so. The excited moves of David's hands had pulled
Tom's briefs down over his buttocks so they too were soon round Tom's
ankles. He kicked them off leaving him stark naked in David's arms.

"You are so gorgeous" David muttered as he stopped the kiss for a moment
before moving straight back into it with the same intensity.

"I love you" Tom said during another short pause. It was the first time
he'd actually told David his feelings towards him but it came out without
thinking. David pulled out of the kiss and for a moment Tom thought he'd
gone too far.

"I know you do Tom and I love you too, as does Jason but you do understand
don't you that he and I love each other just as much."

"I know, I know" Tom said, "and I don't want to do anything to come between
you; I love you too much for that". David smiled and kissed him gently on
the lips again.

"I know you wouldn't my love so as long as you're happy for us to love each
other the way things are then everyone is happy". Tom gave a large intake
of breath and beamed. Their hands were still holding each other's erections
which were still just as hard. "Let's go to bed" David whispered, "I'd like
to feel this inside me".

They grabbed their discarded clothes and made their way to Tom's room. Once
there, David stripped off his remaining clothes and knelt on the bed with
his legs wide apart and his head down on the bed. Tom immediately pressed
his face against the puckered hole and pulled David's cheeks apart. His
tongue was soon inside and David was groaning and moaning.

"Yes, beautiful" he groaned as the hot tongue penetrated him. Tom then
paused to grab the bottle of lube he'd placed in the bedside table. David
watched him and held his hand when he also picked up a foil packet. "Are
you happy to dispense with those when having sex with me and Jason?"

"Yeah, you bet" Tom replied excitedly. Okay he'd once had raw sex with
Oliver but that wasn't likely to happen again.

"Okay, but just with us; anyone else we use protection, okay?"

"Yeah, agreed". Tom hastily lubricated his shaft anxious to feel his naked
flesh inside of David. Once inside he thrust from all angles hitting all
his erogenous spots.

"Fuck that feels so good Tom; yeah, fuck that arse real hard".

Tom loved it when guys talked dirty and held his climax back for as long as
he could. "Can I come inside you?"

"Yeah, fill me up Tom, fill me up".

When Tom had finished he pulled out and collapsed on the bed beside
David. "Fuck that was so good". David pulled his body on top of his and
wrapped his mouth round Tom's and thrust his tongue inside. He and Jason
always had exciting sex but for some reason this made him feel on a high
and he had a feeling there would be lots more like this. Whilst they
kissed, Tom felt behind him and grabbed hold of David's still hard
manhood. "Want this inside me now" he managed to say. David stopped the
kiss and felt for Tom's entrance. He grabbed the lube, squirted some on his
fingers and pulled the hole apart. As he did so, he lubricated it and then
sat Tom down on his shaft. Tom lowered his buttocks until he had the full
length inside him.

"Fuck, I so love your cock inside me" he groaned as he rode it up and
down. He drove it in with each push and then lifted himself off it before
driving it in again. David helped him lift his buttocks up and down and
gasped each time he felt it fully inside.

"I'm going to shoot any minute Tom" David gasped.

Tom grinned and increased the pace. "Yeah, let it come; I want to feel your
spunk fill me up". All the while he'd been massaging himself so was once
again nearing his own climax. David's body then went into spasm and both of
them could feel the hot seed being ejected. They looked into each other's
eyes with a glazed look as Tom shot his load all over David.

When they'd both come down from their high they grinned at each
other. "Happy" David chuckled.

"You bet I am" Tom replied. You can go fuck yourself Oliver, I don't need
you he told himself as he bent forward and gently kissed the man he really
loved.

"Think we need a shower" David giggled, "In fact let's have a soak in the
Jacuzzi". Tom loved that idea and immediately climbed off David and ran
into the bathroom to fill the oval bath. David followed and climbed in
beside Tom. They hugged and kissed yet again as the water bubbled round
their naked bodies. It was pure bliss.

"Are you sure Jason is okay with us...you know".

"Of course; he loves fucking you" David giggled. Tom grinned and rested
against David's manly chest. He really was so happy.


When Jason arrived home from his meeting he found the lounge empty. He
guessed that Robert and Sam would be in their room but he wondered where
Tom and David were. He walked upstairs and heard the giggling in the
bathroom.

"Ah, so here you are; having fun?"

Tom said nothing wondering how Jason would react on seeing him cuddled up
against his lover. Previously they'd had threesomes but he was worried that
Jason would think they'd be doing something behind his back.

"Hello my love, want to join us" David grinned as Jason bent over and gave
him a kiss.

"Mm think I might" Jason grinned as he then gave Tom an equally passionate
kiss. He then stripped off his clothes and climbed in the other end. Once
in he placed his feet into Tom's crotch and massaged the organ that was
still hard. It didn't take long before Tom was spewing yet another load of
cream. "And I bet that's not the first this evening" Jason giggled as he
watched Tom's body spasm.

"You're right there my love; he's given me the most wonderful fuck and then
ridden me into oblivion".

"You lucky bugger" Jason laughed, "So it's my turn now is it". Tom looked
at Jason and grinned not really believing what was happening. "Come on Tom,
get that arse in the air so I can give you a good long hard fuck; I'm ready
to burst." Tom stood up and bent over to offer himself to Jason, resting
his hands on David's shoulders. "And have you agreed what we discussed?"
Jason asked David.

"Yep and he's in agreement so just stuff it in". Jason squirted some liquid
soap into his hands and used it to lubricate his erection. He then moved up
behind Tom and slowly slipped it in.

"Yes, beautiful; you've got such a gorgeous arse to fuck Tom" he groaned as
he thrust back and forth.


16.

David and Jason left mid morning to drive the hour's journey to Jason's
parents so as to get there in good time for the birthday lunch. As usual
they were greeted with hugs and kisses from Jason's mother and just a warm
handshake from his father but David felt welcome all the same.

Back in Woodcote Robert had prepared lunch and they were sitting round the
kitchen table eating.

"How about dancing for us this afternoon Tom?" Robert asked. Tom said he
didn't have his tights so would have to dance in his briefs. Sam giggled
and said he could always dance naked if he wanted. Tom laughed and said if
he did he'd expect his audience to be naked too.

"We could always play our new card game first" Sam suggested to Robert. Tom
wanted to know what the game was but the other two tapped their noses
laughing and saying he'd find out when they played.


"Who's ready for a game then? Sam asked later in the afternoon rather
hoping the other two would agree.

"Yeah, bring it on" Tom replied anxious to know what the new card game was
all about. They made some space in the conservatory so they could sit in a
circle facing each other and Robert placed a pack of shuffled cards in the
centre along with a stopwatch, a bottle of lube and some tissues. Tom was
even more intrigued seeing the other items.

"Okay then" Robert grinned, "A player takes a card from the stack and then
has to do certain things that are associated with the card they draw. If
you draw a heart then you have to kiss the other two players; and it's a
full kiss using tongues; if you draw a diamond you have to grope the other
two players; any black card means you lose an item of clothing until you're
naked; after that a club means you have to suck the players and a spade
means you have to finger them, hence the need for the lube. The value of
the card determines how long each act lasts. A five or less is fifteen
seconds, above five is thirty seconds, picture cards and aces are a full
minute. Once a player has finished then the next draws a card and so on."

Tom grinned rather liking the sound of this game. "Why don't we make it
even more interesting by each drinking a shot of Vodka every three
rounds". He was thinking back to the strip poker game they'd played when
Robert and Sam were away overnight.

"Yeah brilliant idea" Sam said excitedly and jumped up to fetch three shot
glasses and a bottle of Vodka.

They then drew cards to see who went first and Tom was the highest so it
was decided he'd be first, followed by Robert and then Sam. Tom's first
card was a ten of hearts so he and Robert stood up and kissed whilst Sam
timed the thirty seconds. Robert immediately opened his mouth for Tom
anxious to make most of the kiss. Tom had to put his hands behind his back
and let Robert take the lead. He placed a hand behind Tom's head and
pressed their mouths as hard as he could.

"Wow, that looked hot" Sam giggled when he announced that time was up. He
then stood up and Robert timed. That kiss was just as passionate much to
Sam's delight. He was already feeling a reaction down below at the thought
of what was to come later once Tom was naked.

Robert drew a king of diamonds so whilst Tom timed the thirty seconds, he
and Sam stood up and Robert gave him a good grope. Once again the person
who drew the card had to hold their hands behind their back. When it was
Tom's turn he rather enjoyed feeling Sam down there. Sam's card was a two
of spades so the other two had the job of removing his jeans having decided
they should remove trousers before T shirts. They each drank a shot of
Vodka and Tom took another card. This too was a black card so he lost his
jeans. Then Robert took a black card so he also lost his jeans. Sam's next
card was a ten of diamonds so whilst he stood with his hands behind his
back the other two groped him for thirty seconds through his briefs. He was
soon rock hard which delighted the other two.

After another shot of Vodka the game continued until all three were naked
and showing erections. Tom then drew a six of clubs so the other two had
the delight of sucking his erection for thirty seconds. Robert's next card
was a five of spades so Sam and Tom had to finger him for fifteen
seconds. Robert was told to go on his knees whilst Sam fingered him first
with a lubricated finger. The value of the card determined how many fingers
were used. It was one finger for five or less, two for over five and three
for picture cards and aces. Tom enjoyed sticking his inside Robert and made
sure he hit his magic spot which caused Robert to squeal with delight.

As time went by they all became giggly because of the Vodka shots and all
experienced being groped, sucked and fingered by each other. Finally the
game was abandoned and they went for a soak in the Jacuzzi. When they'd had
sufficient soaking they went into Robert and Sam's room for more sex which
this time involved penetration. Tom had never seen their room before and
was surprised to see it was large enough to include a small sofa and TV in
addition to the bed.

"Do you use the rooms downstairs much when Jason is not here?" Tom asked as
he looked out the window over the large garden.

"Very occasionally" Sam replied, "Mostly we use the kitchen, the
conservatory and up here" but then added with a chuckle, "Unless we want to
watch some of Jason's extensive range of porn on the large TV in the
lounge"

"Wow, has he got lots then?" Tom asked excitedly. He loved watching porn
and did so as much as he could.

"Loads" Robert laughed, "He buys it abroad so most of it is really raunchy
and includes stuff that you can't buy in the UK. You want to watch some
then?" Tom said he'd love to so they agreed to do so after their meal and
have a porn evening. "In that case I'll bring these with me" he chuckled as
he picked up several condoms and the bottle of lube they'd used earlier.

None of them bothered to get dressed so three naked guys walked downstairs
to the kitchen to prepare the evening meal. Since the weather was warm,
Robert decided to have salad so it wasn't long before they were sitting
round the table in the kitchen. As they ate, Sam wanted to know more about
being a ballet dancer and what David was like as a teacher. "He's a
brilliant dancer as well as a great teacher plus he's a nice guy who is
always interested in you and helping you to do your best."

"Mm, you love him don't you" Sam giggled.

Tom nodded, "Yeah I do but I know he loves Jason and besides I'd never do
anything to upset their relationship."

"Does he know? Sam asked. Tom nodded.

"From what I've seen both David and Jason fancy you" Robert chuckled. Tom
grinned but said nothing.

When they'd cleared away the dishes they went into the lounge and settled
down to an evening of porn. It didn't take long for erections to be flying
high and being sucked. Whilst one sucked, the third person treated the guy
sucking to a good rimming which was followed by a cock being inserted. Tom
loved the feel of a cock inside him whilst he tasted Robert and Sam as they
climaxed.

Finally it was time for bed so they made their way upstairs. In the
morning, a naked Robert and Sam came into Tom's room to service his morning
erection. He certainly didn't object.


David and Jason arrived back late morning. It was another hot day with blue
sky and sunshine so Robert had suggested the three of them sunbathe out on
the grass after breakfast.

"Ah, three gorgeous naked beauties" Jason exclaimed as he came out to see
them. Robert had said they always sunbathed in the nude and Tom had no
problem with that. Tom jumped up and ran into Jason's arms. They hugged and
kissed and Jason rather enjoyed feeling the naked body in his arms.

"Where's David?" Tom asked wondering what had happened to him.

"He's coming my love, don't fret" Jason laughed, "He's taken our bags
upstairs and is changing". A few minutes later David appeared wearing beach
shorts and an open necked shirt. Tom ran towards him and jumped into his
arms.

"Hi my love, have you missed me?" David laughed. Tom kissed him
passionately and nodded.

"Mm that's nice; I like being missed and having a welcome like this". David
hugged Tom and rubbed up and down his naked butt. "So what have you guys
been up to?" Tom grinned not wanting to say much unless the other two
admitted they'd played a sexy game, watched porn and had sex. David grinned
knowingly and gave Tom another kiss. "Don't worry my love, I can guess".

David then stripped off and sunbathed in the nude with the others whilst
Jason dealt with emails. After the evening meal they all spent an enjoyable
evening together in the lounge before going to bed. In the morning, Jason
invited Tom to join them in bed whilst they drank the morning cup of tea
that Robert had brought up. It didn't take long for kissing and cuddling to
happen and erections to be serviced.

"Love you" David whispered into Tom's ear which made him feel so happy.

It was another hot day so David, Tom and Jason spent it sunbathing in the
garden again whilst Sam pottered around in his shorts doing odd bits of
gardening and Robert did household chores. Every so often Tom went in to
see if he could help but Robert said not as having his naked body around
him would be distracting.

So as to make the most of the weather Jason decided to return to London in
the afternoon so said their farewells to Robert and Sam about mid
afternoon. The three guys wore their shorts and summer shirts opened down
the front since the weather was still warm. David said he'd drive and Jason
suggested Tom sit in the front so he could relax in the back. Once they
were on their way David placed a hand on Tom's naked leg.

"Okay my love?" he asked noting that Tom was somewhat quiet and appeared to
be deep in thought.

"Yeah, thanks" Tom replied returning the gesture by putting a hand onto
David's leg. David placed his hand over it and moved it into his crotch.

"Mm that feels nice" he murmured. In fact Tom had been thinking about
Oliver and how things were between them. He was still convinced that he'd
spent the weekend with Tristan and not with a friend in Leeds but he'd see
how things went for a while longer before speaking to David about the
situation.


They were back at the apartment by four and David had offered to drive Tom
home but he'd opted to do the short walk. The truth was that he was not
particularly anxious to rush home but he knew he'd have to face Oliver at
some point. When he arrived he found the door from the small hall into the
living room closed, which was unusual, so he assumed that perhaps Rory was
not home. The door to his and Oliver's bedroom was ajar so he opened it to
put his bag inside. There on the bed he saw Oliver and Tristan both stark
naked and Oliver in the process of fucking Tristan who was on his back with
his legs in the air.

"Hi Tom" Oliver grinned as he continued thrusting in and out. Oliver was
not the slightest bit embarrassed at being caught in the act but Tristan
did go bright red when he saw Tom standing in the doorway looking at
them. Tom hastily turned and went into the living room. He found Rory
sitting there reading.

"Hello Tom" Rory said looking up, "I take it you've seen what's going
on". Tom nodded as he sat down feeling very upset and wondering what to
do. "They've been at it most of the weekend" Rory added.

"So Oliver didn't go to Leeds?" Rory shook his head as if he knew what
Oliver had planned all the time. "And they didn't go to Tristan's house?"
Rory shook his head again saying that Tristan's parents didn't go away
after all so he came round to the flat on Friday night and had been in
residence ever since. "Did Oliver not go to dance lessons today then?" Rory
shook his head and explained that Oliver had said he had no lessons that
day. Tom knew he was lying since he produced the timetable when all the
students were expected to be present and kept the register.

Tom was just thinking what to do when a naked Oliver appeared with a
partial erection which seemed of little consequence to him. "Could you
sleep somewhere else tonight Tom; perhaps you could bunk up with
Rory". Both Tom and Rory were dumbstruck not that either minded sleeping
together but for Oliver to just announce it as if it was his right to
reorganise sleeping arrangements made Tom angry.

"Fuck you Oliver" Tom shouted as he stormed out the room and out of the
front door slamming both behind him. Oliver looked at Rory as if to say
'what's up with him' and returned to the bedroom where Tristan was
waiting. Tom meanwhile was sitting on the outside step and crying. He
pulled out his phone and rang David.

"What's wrong my love, what's happened?" David asked having realised that
Tom was crying. All Tom said was that he'd arrived home and found Oliver in
bed with Tristan.

"Can I come round to you?" Tom sobbed.

"Of course you can my love; would you like me to come and fetch you?" Tom
said he'd rather walk so he went back into the flat, grabbed his bag from
his bedroom where he'd left it on the floor and told Rory he was going
round to David and Jason's so wouldn't be back that night. Rory stood up
and put his arms round Tom.

"I'm so sorry Tom" was all he said. He knew Tom had feelings for Oliver and
wasn't sure what to say.

Tom walked the ten minute walk back to the apartment and when he got into
the lift he punched in the code to take him up. Jason had given him the
code a while back since he was a frequent visitor. As soon as the lift
doors opened, David stepped forward and put his arms round him. Tom sobbed
his heart out and David felt his whole body shaking. He gently kissed the
side of his head which was resting on his shoulder. He and Jason had
guessed something like this would happen so were not surprised.

Gradually Tom calmed down and David led him into the apartment through to
the living room where Jason was sitting. On seeing Tom's tear stained face
he immediately got up and hugged him. "Tell us what happened?" he said
gently. Tom said how he'd found Oliver and Tristan having sex on the bed
and what Oliver had said about sleeping elsewhere that night.

"He what?" David exploded "The cheeky bastard; it's your home and you
invited him to join you". Jason could see that David was furious. "You wait
till I see him tomorrow morning; I'll bring him down a peg or two; and
shouldn't he have been at classes this afternoon?" Tom nodded as he sat
down beside David and wrapped his arms round him.

"Well, I suppose we shouldn't be surprised having seen how he and Tristan
have been mooning over each other for the past few weeks but to treat you
like that Tom is unforgivable."

"May be so" Jason interjected, "but Tom needs to know what to do now". Tom
looked at him mournfully.

"I'd better move out and find somewhere else to live".

"No you don't Tom", David almost shouted, "If anyone should be moving out
its Oliver but Jason and I have already discussed this possibility and have
a solution to put to you. Tom looked round at David wondering what he
meant. "We'd like you to come and live with us here and when we go to
Woodcote or anywhere else for that matter you would join us if you wanted
to; in other words we'd be a threesome; what do you say?"

Tom gasped and put his hand to his mouth. "You mean live here
permanently...with both of you?" David and Jason nodded smiling.

"Yes my love, that's precisely what we're saying; we both love you very
much, you know that". Tom nodded and more tears ran down his face. He
wasn't quite sure why but assumed it must be the shock of hearing two guys
say they loved him enough to want him to live with them.

"Would you like that then Tom?" Jason asked gently as he moved over to sit
beside him and took hold of his hand.

Tom nodded and managed to say "Yes, thank you I would very much".

"That's settled then" David grinned, "And tomorrow once I've had strong
words with young Oliver we'll collect your things and move you in here but
tonight you're sleeping here my love." Tom collapsed into David's arms and
cried some more. He then reached beside him and took hold of Jason's
hand. Jason put his arm round Tom and rubbed his back to console him.

The three of them remained motionless for a while until Tom finally calmed
down. David then led him to the bathroom to rinse his face and stayed with
him whilst he did so. Once done he led him back into the hallway. "Now
which room would you like?" Tom looked at him since he wasn't sure. "You
can choose either since they're much the same size. Tom nodded towards the
front room since that had a nicer view than the other so they went inside
and David held him in his arms again. "Consider it done my love so make
this your den but of course you will live with us... and even sleep with us
if you want" he added grinning. "We'll be a threesome".

Tom hugged David tight and pulled him into a passionate kiss. When he
finally let go he looked into David's eyes. "Thank you so much; you are
certain that Jason wants this too?"

"Of course he does; in fact it was his idea, so don't think otherwise; we
both love you Tom and if you're happy to live with us knowing that he and I
are soul mates but also love you, then it should work well." Tom said he
fully realised that and was happy to join them.

"And I'll do whatever is needed round the place; cooking, washing, ironing,
whatever".

"Mm I know you will and having your gorgeous body around all the time will
be an added bonus" David laughed. This made Tom grin and he groped David
since he knew he always loved him doing that. "And you can do that as often
as you like when we're alone" he added grinning.


The following morning when Rory had dropped David and Tom off at the
school, David went straight to find Oliver. He found him laughing and
joking in the classroom waiting for a lesson to start.

"Oliver, in my office immediately" David said sternly making the others
look up. Oliver immediately realised that he was in trouble and hastily
followed David into his office. "Sit" David told him as he perched on the
edge of his desk facing Oliver. "So what the hell is your game?" Oliver
looked up at him innocently. "Come on Oliver, you know full well what I'm
talking about...fucking Tristan in Tom's bed and then telling him to find
somewhere else to sleep? What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Oliver dropped his eyes and looked at his folded hands. "Sorry" he
whispered.

David pulled up a chair and sat close to him. He took hold of his hands and
lifted his chin to look into his eyes. "Tom has feelings for you Oliver and
it was him who invited you to go and live with him when you had nowhere
else to go". Oliver nodded knowing it was all true. "So what are you
doing?"

"Tristan and I are in love and want to live together" he said quietly
hoping that would explain his actions.

"That may be so and nobody is saying you shouldn't but you don't just tell
the guy whose home it is and who gave you a home to fuck off".

"I'm sorry"

"Yet again Oliver it's not me you should be saying sorry to; is it?" Oliver
nodded knowing he'd been wrong. "You must learn to think before you open
that mouth of yours otherwise one of these days it's going to get you into
real trouble". Oliver nodded.

"So do I have to find somewhere else to live?" he asked tentatively.

"Fortunately for you Tom is prepared to move out and come and live with me
and Jason so you can continue living there but you'll be responsible for
your share of the rent." Oliver's face lit up. He hadn't thought this would
be the outcome.

"And could Tristan come and live with me?"

"If you and he want that but I need to ask Rory if he's prepared to let him
and you share the whole flat or whether we divide it off again. We would
only need to lock the current door to the bedroom and re-open the other
door". Fortunately Jason had decided to leave the original entrance into
Tom's room rather than have it bricked up just in case it was
needed. Oliver beamed and thanked David.

"Right" David said standing up, making Oliver realise the meeting was at an
end so stood up as well, "Off you go back to class and I'll let you know
Rory's answer later". Oliver nodded and made his way to the door. "Oh, one
other thing" David said pausing Oliver, "One, why did you lie to Tom about
visiting a friend in Leeds when you'd arranged to spend it with Tristan".

"Didn't want to hurt his feelings"

"So it was better to let him find you fucking in bed, was it?" David
grinned. Oliver blushed and said he realised now that he should have spoken
to Tom first. "Secondly, young man, I believe you missed class yesterday;
was fucking Tristan more important than your lessons?" Oliver went even
redder and decided not to answer that question.

Instead he just said "Sorry".

"You will be young man" David grinned giving Oliver a smart smack on his
backside as he left the room. Since he was only wearing his dance tights he
felt the sting of David's smack.

As soon as Oliver had left him, David called Rory. When he'd dropped Tom
and David off earlier he'd taken Jason to one of his businesses. "Would you
be able to come back here Rory; have got something to talk to you about and
I need you to drive me and Tom back to your flat." Rory said he'd be there
in fifteen minutes so David went to find Tom to tell him to be ready to
leave. He then interrupted Paul's class to tell him what was going on. When
Paul heard what Oliver had done he raised his eyebrows.

"What the hell do we do with that lad; will he never learn to think first
before opening his trap?"

David smiled. "Well, I expect you thought with your cock rather than your
head at his age; I know I did".

"I hope our students know how lucky they are to have you because I'm not
sure I'd be so understanding." David smiled and put his arms round his
friend.

"I'm sure you would; you're a softy really like me"

"You can say that again" Paul laughed as he went back to his class.

"Don't worry I'll be giving our young friend a hard time during my class
this afternoon". David laughed rather enjoying the thought of doing so.


It didn't take long to get Tom's things packed up and in the car with
Rory's help. As Tom gave him the keys to the flat he thought back to when
David had given them to him. He'd felt so excited at the having his own
place to live and just hoped he was making the right decision. He loved
David and he knew David loved him. The relationship between Jason and Tom
was different but he knew Jason liked him very much and wasn't worried
about Tom upsetting things between him and David, not that Tom would dream
of doing anything to hurt them since he loved David too much to do that.

Once everything had been taken up to the apartment and Tom's clothes hung
in the cupboards in his own room, David took him into his arms. "You okay;
you seem preoccupied". Tom looked up into David's eyes and smiled.

"You're quite sure Jason is okay about me moving in here with both of you?"

"Of course he is; I told you it was his idea; he loves you as I do; you're
not having second thoughts are you?" Tom shook his head and laid it against
David's chest.

"I love you David."

"I know you do my love and I love you and we want you to be happy and feel
part of the family not just someone who's living with us."

"I promise I won't do anything to upset the relationship between you two; I
love you both too much to do that". David pulled him tighter against him
and kissed him passionately on the lips.

"I know you won't my love; that's what we love about you ... apart from the
obvious" David chuckled.

"Yeah, I'm going to miss waking up with a hot guy beside me; despite what
Oliver has done I'll miss his body beside me each morning."

"Ah well, we were talking about that last night" David grinned, "As you
know our bed is a queen size and plenty of room for three of us so we were
wondering if you'd like to sleep with us most nights and just use yours
when one of us is not well or we want some time alone; there might even be
times when one of us would like to sleep with you leaving the other alone;
we want this to be a three way relationship." Tom looked up into David's
eyes and grinned. He liked that idea and it caused his body to react as it
always did when thinking about sleeping with the other two guys.

"What will people say do you think if they find out three guys are sleeping
together"

"Who cares what they think? As long as it works for us then so be it."

Having given Tom another big hug and an even bigger kiss which caused both
of them to want to strip off there and then and jump into bed, David said
they needed to get back to the school so went to find Rory who was sitting
patiently in the kitchen.


17.

Just before David was about to go upstairs to the studio to start the
class, he went to find Oliver. He found him talking to Tom in the
corridor. "I'm really sorry Tom; I know I've been a complete shit but I
wasn't thinking straight; I'm really sorry; will you forgive me?" Not
wanting to interfere, David held back behind Oliver who had no idea he was
standing there listening in.

Having heard Oliver's apology, Tom smiled and gently kissed him on the
lips. "Suppose I will but Oliver, you must learn to think with this" he
said tapping Oliver's head, "instead of this" he continued as he grabbed
hold of Oliver's crotch. Oliver grinned and hugged Tom.

Seeing the conversation was over, David moved forward. "A word please,
Oliver". Oliver turned and immediately thought he was in for another
bollocking. He followed David into his office with his eyes to the
ground. David adopted his usual pose when serious and sat on the front edge
of his desk looking at Oliver who stood before him. "Cheer up, I'm not
going to put you over my knee and spank you". Oliver grinned. "It seems you
are a lucky guy; not only has Tom moved out of the flat instead of throwing
you out but Rory has agreed you and Tristan can share the whole flat with
him, assuming he wants to move in with you."

"Oh thank you; can Tristan move in straight away?" David nodded. Oliver
moved forward and threw his arms round David to thank him. He was really
relieved knowing how angry David had been earlier.

"Come on, I'm going to put you through your paces young man" David chuckled
giving Oliver's butt a smart smack.

"Ouch that hurt" Oliver flinched. He was only wearing his ballet tights so
had little to protect his naked flesh beneath.

"It was meant to" David chuckled as he placed a hand on Oliver's shoulder
to lead him out. Oliver rushed ahead of him and ran up the stairs two at a
time. He wanted to tell Tristan that he could move in with him as soon as
he'd told his parents. When David reached the studio he found the pair of
them in a huddle and guessed what was going on.


Throughout the hour's class, David gave Oliver a hard time. He made him
repeat moves and steps and frequently used him to demonstrate things in
front of the others. Oliver could tell he was being picked on but took it
in good heart knowing he'd been a complete shit. After the class was over
David asked Oliver, Wayne and Tristan to remain behind. Once the other
students had left them he told the three to sit down. Oliver once again
looked nervous wondering what David was going to say.

"Don't look so worried, Oliver" David chuckled rather enjoying the fact
that Oliver was feeling uncomfortable. Tom then pulled forward two chairs
for him and David to sit on in front of the others.

"I want to discuss with you guys a particular dance I'd like the three of
you to do for the concert in November." All three smiled wanting to know
more. "It's a particularly erotic dance so I want to be sure that all of
you feel comfortable about doing it so I thought I'd run it through with
you." The three grinned and sat forward with interest whilst David
explained the story of the dance which involved two guys who were both in
love with another guy and fought over him. "The guy who's loved by the
other two loves both of them so is torn as to which he wants. The dance
plays out the emotions between all three of them in a fairly erotic way
which I'll explain more about in a minute but before I go further does
anyone feel uncomfortable about it?"

All three said they'd love to do the dance and wanted to know who danced
which role. "I'd like Oliver and Wayne to be the two admirers and Tristan
to be the one they love". David had specifically selected Oliver and Wayne
since they were the largest of the three. He'd originally wanted Tom to be
the third dancer but in view of the recent issue between him and Oliver he
felt it wouldn't be wise. In any event, Tom had made it clear that he
wasn't that keen on dancing in public despite the fact that he was good.

"Okay, before I go through the dance with you there is something else I
need to explain. If any of you feel uncomfortable about this, then please
say so and I'll find someone else." This made all three guys even more
interested and wanted to hear more. "Apart from your ballet slippers, which
will be flesh coloured, all you will wear is a thong like this". Tom then
held up a flesh coloured thong which was small to say the least.

"What, with no dance belt beneath" Wayne grinned.

"No, the whole purpose is to give the effect that you are dancing naked and
from a distance it will almost look like that, believe me" David grinned,
"but I can assure you that the thong does hold your bits in place despite
you having a naked backside".

"Have you worn one of these?" Oliver asked grinning.

David grinned. "I have and I've danced this precise dance; in fact it was
the first time Jason ever saw me dance".

"Wow, not surprised he fell in love with you" Tristan grinned as he handled
the thong that was now being passed round.

"Is anybody concerned about dancing in front of two hundred people wearing
just this?" All three said they were happy to do so and wanted to know
more. "In that case" David continued, "I suggest I show you some of the
more erotic moves with you actually wearing the thong so you can get a good
idea of how it feels; if you're still happy then I'll go through with you
the full choreography.

The three guys jumped up and started to undress right in front of David and
Tom. Not that they minded seeing three stark naked guys struggling into the
tight fitting thongs. "I suggest you fold your bits into a ball" David told
them, "You'll find it more comfortable like that". The three guys grappled
with their manhood inside the thong until it felt comfortable. They then
slipped on the flesh coloured ballet slippers Tom passed round and looked
at each other.

"Wow, that looks hot" Tristan grinned admiring the other two guys.

"You're not so bad yourself" Wayne giggled.

"Hey, keep your hands off; he's mine" Oliver laughed.

David smiled. All three looked stunning. He then got each of them to dance
round the studio so the other two could see what they looked like from a
distance. "Fuck, you're right David; the general impression is that you're
dancing naked" Wayne exclaimed.

Once all three had done a dance round the studio he had them stand in front
of him. "So, are we all happy to continue?" All three nodded and said they
looked forward to doing this so David went through the dance scenes. The
first involved Wayne and Tristan doing a love dance together. After they'd
tried out the basic movements, David asked Tristan to join him. "I must
warn you Oliver I'm now going to get very personal with your boyfriend; you
okay with that?" Oliver grinned and nodded. "Just as well since you'll be
watching Wayne do it next" David laughed.

David then took Tristan through some of the moves he'd just done with Wayne
but this time they were far more erotic. "Imagine you're making love to
him; it shouldn't be difficult" David grinned. He then stood behind
Tristan, who was shorter than him, and wrapped his arms round his body
slowly bringing his hands up the front of his thighs and into his
crotch. Tristan could feel David's hands touching his private parts but it
was so sensuous that they didn't react as he'd expected. David then slowly
turned him round and kissed him on the lips before moving into the next
step.

"Wow, that looks so hot" Oliver exclaimed, "Do I get to do that to him as
well?" David explained that he would but before then he and Wayne had to
dance an angry dance together as if they are arguing over Tristan.

"You'll be in the wings so once you see Wayne move out of that kiss and go
into the next move you fly in and dance round him as if you're upset and
shouting. You Tristan look at Oliver and then at Wayne as if you're not
sure who you want to be with because you're madly in love with them
both. Use your arms as if you're trying to persuade each of them that you
want them and to stop them fighting over you."

David then got Wayne and Tristan to dance the first part. At first Wayne
felt diffident about moving his hands right into Tristan's crotch, knowing
that Oliver was watching him. "Forget that he's standing watching off stage
Wayne and you Tristan encourage him by placing your hands over his and
dragging them over your body. Imagine you're in love with him and want him
to feel you all over." Wayne and Tristan grinned and went through it
again. This time the pair threw themselves into the part. Tom looked over
to where Oliver was standing to see his reaction. He could tell he was
jealous but had to accept what they were doing. When the kiss had ended and
the pair had gone into the next steps, Oliver almost flew on and danced
precisely how David wanted showing as if he was angry at what he'd seen.

"That was brilliant Oliver" David said once they'd stopped for a
moment. "Now I want to go through the next scene which is a tussle between
the three of you". David explained that Tristan had to be pulled from one
to another but so as not to physically pull him and risk injuring his arms,
he had to move in each direction as they appeared to pull.

"So you Tristan, start by being pulled towards Oliver because you want him,
then you Wayne pull him back and as soon as you feel the slight pull
Tristan move towards him and you Oliver let him move but keep hold of his
hand. Do that three times and on the third pull towards Oliver, you Wayne
let him go so that Tristan falls into Oliver's arms. They then make love
and you slowly slink away upset and looking over your shoulder until you
finally run off stage into the wings having realised you've lost. You two
meanwhile repeat the same erotic dance of love Wayne and Tristan did
earlier. I imagine you'll have no problems with that Oliver" David
chuckled.

They first went through the angry dance which on the whole went
well. Oliver and Tristan then danced their erotic love scene and they
played it beautifully as David knew they would.

"Very good; with a bit more practice it will flow better but a good
start. Okay, the final scene in which you Wayne appear on stage again but
this time you're pleading with Tristan for him to be with you. Tristan
can't decide and dances back and forth between you with brief moments of
love before he stands as if he's in agony looking from one to another. As
he slowly collapses you two run to his side and hold him. You let him
slowly fall into your arms as he dies and onto the floor. You Oliver then
stay still as if you are dead."

They went through the routine and it went reasonably well once Tristan had
learnt how to collapse gracefully into their arms as if he was dying. "Once
he's safely on the floor you guys fall into each other's arms; you now both
realise that the man you loved is dead and need each other's support so you
kiss and move away to dance showing that your differences are behind you
and you need each other. Once you've done that you come back to Tristan and
gently lift his head before both kissing him on the lips. The lights will
do down and all three of you immediately stand to take your bow when the
lights come up again seconds later. Don't be surprised if the whole
audience is on its feet because it's a very moving dance and if it's done
well they will be applauding like mad."

"Is that what happened when you danced it David?" Tristan asked.

"Yes, every night; so let's do that last part and leave it there". The
three went through the last scene and David was pleased with them. When
they'd finished he handed out the choreography notes for them to
study. "Tom, could you programme in two one hour sessions a week between
now and the concert for them to practice with me; and guys, if you have the
chance practice on your own since it's a hard dance to do, believe me."

"Do we keep these meanwhile?" Wayne asked indicating his thong and his
ballet slippers. David said they could but a clean set would be issued
before the day. Wayne then skipped off downstairs to change having picked
up his discarded clothes. Tristan then came over to David to have a
word. For a moment David thought he was going to say he couldn't do the
dance.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry I caused the upset with Tom and thanks for
letting me move in with Oliver"

David was touched and put his arm round Tristan. "You can't help loving
someone Tristan and it was Oliver who didn't think first before
acting". Tristan nodded thoughtfully, "But if you want my honest opinion"
he continued, "I think you'll be good for him; he needs someone to keep him
under control". Tristan grinned and thanked David again before looking
round for Oliver who'd been holding back waiting for his lover.

"You did well today Oliver" David said. Oliver smiled and came over to
where David was standing.

"Thanks and I really am sorry for what I did".

"All done and forgotten; just make sure you look after Tristan because he
seems to me to be a lovely guy". Oliver grinned and felt rather good about
that comment. "Go on, off you go and change" David added as he gave Oliver
a sharp slap on his naked backside.

"Fuck, that hurt" he giggled but secretly enjoyed the feel of David's hand
on his butt.

"They were brilliant" Tom said once Oliver and Tristan had left, "Tristan
will be so much better than me" he added. David pulled him into a hug and
kissed him.

"Don't do yourself down; you would have danced that brilliantly but in the
circumstances I don't think it would have been comfortable for you to do
it". Tom nodded before moving back into the kiss which was far more intense
than either intended. Before long tongues were exploring each other like
mad and they were grinding their bodies together as they reacted. "God
you're gorgeous" David gasped, "We are so going to have some fun together
so I hope you're ready for plenty of long hard sex with me and Jason". Tom
grinned and pressed his erection up against David's. "Come on, let's clear
up and get home; Jason is not back until late tonight so it's just the two
of us" David grinned wickedly.

"I hope you're not trying to seduce me whilst your partner is away" Tom
laughed rather enjoying what was happening.

"No, just warming you up for when he returns" David grinned.


As soon as they'd cleared up they made their way outside to find Rory
waiting patiently in the car. He grinned when he saw them and drove them
home. They said their goodbyes and Rory made his way home whilst David and
Tom made their way up to the apartment.

"Welcome to your new home" David said pulling Tom into yet another
passionate hug and a kiss. "I suggest we strip off and have a soak in the
tub so go switch it on and get stripped whilst I put my stuff away." Tom
ran into the living room and flicked the switch for the hot tub. He then
stripped off his clothes as quickly as he could and threw them onto the
nearby sofa. A naked David soon appeared showing definite signs of
interest. He prepared two drinks which they took outside to the hot
tub. They then sat in each other's arms as the water warmed up. It was
heaven.

"When were you last tested?" David asked Tom casually. Tom said he tested
regularly and the last time was just a few weeks ago.

"Now that we're going to be living with each other, Jason and I were
wondering if you'd be willing to dispense with protection and go raw as it
were; don't feel you have to but we do and it is certainly more enjoyable."
Tom said he was more than willing and agreed he'd never have unprotected
sex with anyone else, which was assuming he had sex with anyone other than
David and Jason.

"In that case" David grinned, "How about we go into your room and try it
out?" Tom gave a broad grin which David took to mean he agreed.


They pulled back the covers and rolled on the bed. Hands explored each
other frantically as they kissed with erections rubbing against one
another. Tom thought he was going to climax before he wanted but somehow he
managed to control things.

"Want you inside me" Tom gasped in between one of their kisses. David
manoeuvred himself on top of Tom and slipped a pillow beneath his butt to
raise him. He'd already prepared Tom with two well lubricated fingers
during their kissing and cuddling so all he had to do was lift his legs,
prepare his hard organ and slip it inside.

"Of fuck" Tom exclaimed as he felt David slowly move inside him, "That is
beautiful". David could hardly control his excitement but managed to bring
himself under control. He slowly moved in and out whilst continuing to kiss
the guy beneath him. He knew then that if he'd never met Jason, Tom would
have been the man for him. He loved him with all his heart and so hoped he
could share his love between the two of them.

Tom loved being the bottom, especially with David, so the feel of him
inside his narrow channel was sublime. He gasped and moaned as they kissed
waiting for the sign that David was about to reach his climax. Suddenly he
felt David tense and knew it was near. "Yes, let it go baby" he managed to
grunt. David felt his whole body reach its peak and then the sudden
release.

"Oh god, that feels so good Tom" he groaned as he continued spurting inside
of him.

Finally he collapsed on top of Tom and they kissed yet again. He loved
having sex with Jason but this was different for some reason. Not
necessarily better, just different and he loved it.


"Time to have a shower and get some food I think" David giggled once they
were both satisfied. They showered together and slipped on their robes
before going into the kitchen to prepare the meal. Tom wanted to be chef so
David let him whilst he laid the table and prepared the wine. He looked
over to where Tom was busy preparing the ingredients and smiled to
himself. He looked so happy and so was he.


The next few weeks went smoothly and Tom enjoyed his new home. The school
closed for the holiday and the three week summer classes began. It was
Samantha's birthday on one of the weekends so as usual there was a family
lunch. Jason wanted to introduce Tom to his family but Tom wasn't so
sure. "We are three lovers together Tom so I'd like you with us". Tom
couldn't resist Jason so agreed. They were only going for lunch and would
be staying in Woodcote for the night.

Since Jason and David wanted to drink and Tom couldn't drive, Rory was
asked to drive them to Marlborough. He'd been to Jason's home in Woodcote
but had never visited the home of his parents so was interested to see
where Jason had been raised. Jason could sense that Tom was still nervous
on the morning they were due to leave so suggested he sat in the back
between him and David. The car was plenty large enough to get three in the
back and both Jason and David rather enjoyed having Tom sitting between
them.

"They won't eat you Tom" Jason chuckled as he placed a hand on Tom's leg,
"Mum will love you and Samantha will drool over you" he laughed.

"And Jason's dad will formerly shake your hand and say nothing" David added
with a chuckle.

"That's what bothers me, he'll wonder who the hell I am" Tom muttered.

"You'll be fine" Jason replied turning towards Tom, "We love you and we'll
look after you". Tom smiled and enjoyed the feel of Jason's hand slowly
moving towards his crotch. It was already causing hardness and any second
now Jason would feel the effect he was having on him. David then placed a
hand on his other leg which made his trousers bulge even more.

"Don't worry my love" David added as he kissed the side of Tom's
face. Jason was more demonstrative and twisted his body round some more so
that he could give Tom a full mouth kiss. Tom felt Jason's tongue probe
inside and a hand feeling the hard muscle inside his trousers. Without
saying anything Jason unfastened the top of the trousers, unzipped him and
slipped a hand down inside. Once he'd felt the hard organ beneath the thin
material of Tom's briefs he slipped a hand inside. Tom moaned as he felt
Jason's hot hand surround his naked flesh. He was also conscious of Rory
watching them in the rear view mirror and smiling. In fact just watching
what was going on in the back was causing his own trousers to balloon so he
used a hand to feel himself. One of the many advantages of a luxury
automatic car was that he often had a spare hand for such occasions.

Not wanting to miss out, David joined in the kiss so Tom had two tongues
probing his mouth and a hand unbuttoning his shirt. Once open, David rubbed
Tom's nipples which he knew always turned him on. Tom was now totally
within their control so sank back in his seat to let it all happen.

"I'm going to come" he managed to mutter between kisses.

"Mm let it come" Jason giggled and continued his massage. Rory chuckled and
passed a tissue over his shoulder.

"Felling better?" David grinned once Tom had shot his load and been cleaned
up by Jason. Tom laughed and said he was.

"When we go home we'll have David in the middle and do the same to him".

"Yeah, can't wait" David replied and gave Tom another grope just before he
refastened his trousers.


When they arrived, Celia came out to greet them. Tom watched as she hugged
and kissed her son and then David. "It's so lovely to see you again, and
this must be Tom" she added turning towards where he was standing to one
side. "Welcome to Rosedale Tom, it's lovely to meet you". Tom was expecting
a formal handshake but suddenly found he was in a bear hug and being kissed
on the side of the face. David grinned as if to say 'told you'. As
predicted, Jason's father sedately shook his son's hand followed by
David's. Tom waited until he'd finished and Jason pulled him forward.

"Dad, this is Tom". Macaulay gave Tom a perfunctory shake of the hand
before turning his attention to Jason to ask him something. Tom immediately
stepped back feeling somewhat out of place. It was as if Jason's father had
not really registered him. As usual David was quickly by his side placing
an arm round his waist to comfort him. Suddenly Samantha appeared and
almost jumped into her brother's arms. Tom watched the two siblings hug and
kiss each other as if they'd not done so for a long time. He envied Jason
for having family and briefly thought back to his own. David sensed the
shudder of Tom's body and hugged him tighter as Samantha came over and gave
him a similar hug and a kiss. She then stood back and looked at Tom with a
big grin across her face.

"Wow Jason, where do you find all these gorgeous men?" Tom immediately felt
more comfortable as she hugged and kissed him. As she did so he was
conscious of another guy standing in the background grinning. Jason then
introduced Tom to Brendan who gave him a warm handshake. Tom liked Brendan
and felt he was a kindred spirit. He then felt David sweeping him along
into the large lounge. He first noticed the piano and was itching to have a
look at it but didn't have the nerve to do so or ask. Instead he found
himself being sat down between David and Jason.

The conversation flowed over him but all the time either David or Jason was
holding his hand to make him feel at home. Celia was particularly nice
towards him and made sure his drink was topped up and that he was passed
the plate of nibbles that were doing the rounds. Tom noticed Jason's father
looking at him every so often as if he was wondering who the hell he was
and why he was there.

Celia then said she needed to go and check on the dinner. David immediately
offered to help but she insisted on him staying with the others. Macaulay
suddenly stood up and asked Jason to follow him. It seemed he had something
to discuss with his son and Tom wondered whether it was about him. In fact
it was bank business.

"I understand you too are a ballet dancer Tom" Samantha said. Tom nodded
but added that he wasn't that good and helped at David's school.

"Don't believe a word he says" David exclaimed, "Tom is a brilliant dancer
but he's not keen on dancing in public so he provides me with wonderful
support and assistance both in class and with administrative matters." Tom
blushed and lowered his eyes. "And, he's a brilliant pianist so generally
plays for the classes". Samantha wanted to hear Tom play so after some
cajoling by David he agreed to play. David led him over to the piano and
stood by his side to give him moral support.

"What shall I play?" Tom whispered. David bent down and whispered in his
ear, "How about the Dance of the Three Lovers". Tom grinned. He knew that
piece off by heart.

When he'd finished playing there was a brief moment of silence before the
other three applauded and cheered. "That was beautiful Tom; what's it
called?" Tom told her and she grinned. "Mm, no wonder it had such feeling,
and would I be right in assuming that the dance is about three male
lovers?" Tom nodded looking somewhat embarrassed but fortunately David
explained that it was a dance three of his students was going to do at the
concert in November.

"I hope we're all invited" Samantha asked. David said of course they would
and asked Tom to make sure tickets were sent out to all members of the
family.


Finally Celia announced that the meal was ready so they moved into the
dining room. Tom was relieved to see that he was sitting at the end nearest
to Celia with David beside him and Jason next to him. Brendan sat opposite
him with Samantha at the end where her father was sitting.

Stuart served everyone in his usual quiet efficient way and Tom noticed
that he too kept on giving him odd looks every so often but perhaps he was
imagining things. When the meal was at an end, Jason's father suddenly
asked Tom "So are you just lodging with Jason and David at the moment?" Tom
sat open mouthed not sure what to say.

"No dad" Jason quickly jumped in, "Tom lives with us on a permanent basis".

"Oh, a bit odd isn't it?" Macaulay frowned, "I thought you two were...you
know".

"Partners; is that what you're trying to say dad?" Jason replied feeling
somewhat annoyed at his father's tone.

"Well, yes, but I don't understand these things"

"Come off it dad" Samantha chipped in, "Can't you see that Jason and David
love Tom and he loves both of them". This was even more difficult for
Macaulay to understand and frowned yet again.

"Oh" Macaulay replied still none the wiser.

"It's not difficult to understand dad" Samantha continued, "Jason and David
are in love with each other but love Tom who loves them in return."

"Is there a difference or is this something to do with homosexuality?"

"Oh dad, you should know. Lots of heterosexual men have women on the side
and some women have their fancy men. Macaulay gave his daughter a dirty
look. He'd had an affair with his secretary some years before but it was
now over.

"But they don't live together" he threw back as if the three they were
discussing weren't present.

"The difference is that Jason and David are being open and honest about
their love for another man whereas lots of straight couples are not which
invariably causes bad feelings." Macaulay shrugged his shoulders.

"We know two couples who openly love another" Brendan chipped in. "The
husband of one couple is bisexual so has a gay lover who frequently spends
time with both of them and the other couple consists of a bisexual woman
who has a lesbian lover and seems to live with them most times." Macaulay
looked at him rather hoping that he'd at least understand what he was
thinking but clearly not.

"Seems I'm in the minority regarding this discussion" Macaulay eventually
replied.

"I'm afraid you are" his wife laughed.

"So you understand this do you?" Macaulay asked casually waving his hand
towards the three sitting to the right of him.

"I do but poor Tom is feeling very uncomfortable so I suggest we change the
subject; I'm sorry Tom".

Tom raised his head which had been lowered during the course of the
conversation and gave a weak smile. He felt as if he wanted to disappear
into the ground.

"Well, we love him" David said putting an arm round Tom and kissing
him. Tom felt even more embarrassed at this show of public adoration in
front of everyone and was thankful when Jason said perhaps they should make
a move.

"Sorry sis but we've got to get back" he said trying not to look at his
father who was still glowering over being made to feel the odd one out. He
still couldn't understand what this thing with Tom was all about. He had
enough problems dealing with his gay son and his lover without this even
though he put on an air of not being bothered.

"Bye dad" Jason called out as the others walked out of the dining room
leaving him still sitting at the table. Once outside he pulled Tom into his
arms. "I'm sorry Tom about that; I should have known better".

Tom kissed him and said it was okay. David then hugged him followed by
Samantha and then Brendan.

"I'm afraid Jason's father is, shall we say, a bit old fashioned and can't
understand modern ideas" she told Tom as she gently kissed him on the side
of his face and hugged him.

"It's nothing new mum" Samantha laughed, "Love trios have been in existence
for time in memorial as dad knows only too well." Her mother nodded
knowingly.

"Yes dear but you know what he's like".

"I'm really sorry Tom" Samantha said as she took him into another embrace,
"I think my brother is a very lucky guy; he's got two gorgeous guys who
love him so don't let it bother you what other people think." Tom smiled as
he looked over to Brendan who grinned and nodded.

Finally they were back in the car and Tom was glad to leave. He hoped he
wouldn't have to meet Jason's father again for a long time. As they climbed
into the car, Rory looked on realising that something had happened. Jason
nodded as if to say 'Tell you later'. As discussed earlier, David sat in
the centre with Tom on his left. He put an arm round him and pulled him up
close before doing the same to Jason. "I too am a lucky man because I've
got two gorgeous guys who love me".

"Yeah, to hell with what he thinks" Jason exclaimed.

"You don't really mean that" David replied.

"He had no right to make Tom feel so uncomfortable; okay he might think it
odd but he could have kept it to himself rather than trying to belittle Tom
like that. Anyhow Tom, like Samantha says don't you let it bother you; we
both love you very much and when we get home we'll make it up to you." Tom
grinned. He rather liked the idea of that.


18.

The three week summer school was a great success despite it being a lot of
work for David and Tom. In addition they fitted in the class with Oliver,
Wayne and Tristan to practice their dance although they only came in once
each week over that period. Tom could tell Oliver and Tristan were deeply
in love with each other which showed during their performance. He still had
feelings for Oliver, who couldn't, the guy was drop dead gorgeous, but he
was happy for both of them and Tom had forgiven him.

Finally the school closed for a week before it was due to open up again
during the first week in September. Jason had arranged for the three of
them to stay at his villa in Cap Ferrat for eight nights. Tom was so
excited because he'd never been abroad, let alone to France. He'd now got
his passport which was his prized possession.

"You'll both love Antoine" Jason told them, "He's so gorgeous". Jason had
met Antoine in a gay bar three years before soon after he'd purchased the
villa. Antoine was nineteen at the time and out of work so Jason offered
him the job of managing the villa. They got on well and enjoyed each
other's company in more ways than one!

"Looks as if we might have some competition Tom"

"Nah, you two are still my favourites" Jason giggled as he pulled them into
a group hug, "But he's a big flirt so expect plenty of attention".

They were flying to Nice, which was another first for Tom, and Jason had
hired a car which they collected at the airport. Well, the car came to
collect them as it was all part of the treatment you received as first
class passengers. David still found it odd being treated like this but
rather enjoyed it. Tom was still getting used to being treated like
royalty. Once their luggage had been loaded into the upmarket car and Jason
had signed the necessary documents, he drove them to the villa at Cap
Ferrat.

"Wow, this is amazing" David and Tom exclaimed as the large gate that hid
the villa from those passing by slowly opened for Jason to drive
through. Ahead of them was a beautiful villa which had its own swimming
pool that overlooked the sea.

As Jason pulled up at the front door, a gorgeous guy appeared. He was
wearing a pair of tight skimpy briefs which barely covered his attributes
and nothing else. His bronzed body oozed sex.

"Bonjour mon ami" Jason said as Antoine jumped into his arms. David could
see he was far more than an employee but the guy was truly beautiful.

"Bienvenue mes amis" Antoine said as he wrapped his arms round David and
Tom in turn, rubbing himself up against them as he did so. It was
impossible not to like the guy. He was just adorable and as Jason had
warned them he flirted continuously; so much so that the three arrivals
soon had a hard-on showing. Antoine seemed to have a permanent one; either
that or he was well endowed.

"You want to sleep with us as usual Tom?" Jason asked as they moved into
the villa which had three large bedrooms, each of which had its own
en-suite bathroom.

As in all Jason's properties, the bed was a queen size so plenty large
enough for the three of them. Besides, Tom had got so used to sleeping with
the two guys that he'd have been really sad not to do so. It seemed to work
well with David in the middle so he had access to both his lovers although
Jason frequently pulled Tom on top of him when he had the urge.

The weather was just beautiful so they hastily stripped off their travel
clothes and slipped on the skimpy beach shorts which Jason had purchased
for all of them. They too were tight fitting leaving nothing to the
imagination. Jason then gave them a tour of the rest of the villa which
included a dining room, a large kitchen and a large lounge which had
sliding doors that went out onto a patio area. Adjacent to this was the
infinity pool that overlooked the sea. The blue water looked so inviting
that David wanted to jump straight in but just stood at the edge for the
moment.

"We have a rule here" Antoine whispered to David as he slid up beside him
and placed a hand on his butt, "Only naked swimming is allowed". David
turned and grinned. "It's true, ask Jason, so if you want a swim you have
to go naked for us all to enjoy your beautiful body".

"David, have you seen what's in here?" an excited Tom called as he ran over
to grab David's hand and lead him back into the lounge. David duly followed
wondering what on earth Tom was so excited about. When he walked in and Tom
pointed over to the far end of the room he gasped and then turned to look
at Jason who was now standing just behind him.

"Thought you guys might like to play the piano whilst you were here" he
grinned. David threw his arms round the guy he loved and kissed him and Tom
joined in.

"Thank you, thank you so much" they both exclaimed between kisses and tears
of joy. Antoine looked on touched by the show of adoration the two guys
were giving Jason. When Jason had talked about David and Tom coming with
him he'd assumed they were the couple and Jason was still single and
available but clearly not. The look of love between the three of them made
that very clear which accounted for the fact they were sharing a room.

"Menage a trios" he muttered to himself somewhat disappointed. David and
Jason looked at him and grinned having heard the comment. Even David's
limited knowledge of French had translated that remark but Tom looked
nonplussed wondering why they were grinning. David translated for him and
Tom blushed.

"So do you both play the piano then?" Antoine asked. Tom nodded and said
that David played the best so he was asked to try out the new electronic
piano. He sat down and having played a few bars of different things he then
launched into the Swan Lake piece he and Tom were going to dance at the
concert. Tom immediately moved into an area of the room where there was
space to move around and started to dance the piece he would be performing
with David. Antoine gasped. Not only was he bowled over by David's
beautiful piano playing but also by Tom's dancing. Jason stood admiring the
two guys and realised how much he really did love having both of them. They
were so different from each other and there was no doubt in his mind that
David was his lover but he loved Tom as well, even though it was a
different kind of love. He couldn't imagine being without him as part of
the 'menage a trois' as Antoine had so correctly called it.

When David stopped playing and Tom came to a rest, Antoine cheered and
clapped as he ran up to each of them. He first hugged Tom, kissing him and
feeling all over his almost naked body pressing his own up close and
personal. By the time he'd finished both were showing clear signs of
excitement. He then did the same to David until he too was bulging at the
front. Jason looked on with a large grin on his face and walked over to
where the other three were receiving such attention.

"You didn't tell me these guys were so talented as well as being so
beautiful" Antoine said turning towards Jason and taking him into his
arms. "Oh how I'd love to see your concert" he exclaimed.

"Why not come over for the week; you can stay with us in Kensington and
bring Victor if you want" Jason said. Antoine's face dropped.

"We are no longer together" he said sadly. Jason gasped and took him into
his arms. Antoine and Victor had been boyfriends ever since he'd known him
and despite living apart they'd always seemed devoted to each
other. Antoine then burst into French telling Jason what had happened. It
seemed Victor had found another to love and they'd finally parted just over
a month ago. The real problem was that Victor wanted Antoine to go and live
with him but Antoine wasn't prepared to give up his job looking after the
villa for Jason. He loved the job and he loved living at the villa. He also
had very strong feelings for Jason but it seemed those too were to be
dashed.

David could only partly understand what the two were saying to each other
as Antoine draped himself in Jason's arms so he indicated to Tom for them
to leave and go out to the pool.

"Think we'll leave those two and have a swim" David whispered as he led Tom
outside.

"Is Antoine in love with Jason do you think?" Tom whispered as they slipped
off their shorts in readiness for diving into the pool. David shrugged his
shoulders having a fair idea of what the answer was but didn't really want
to admit it to himself. Antoine was gorgeous so he could see why Jason
would be attracted to him.

"Come on, beat you to the other end" David giggled giving Tom a push into
the pool before diving in. Tom crashed into the water and spluttered as his
head appeared above the surface. Seeing David was well down the pool by
then he swam out after him. Fortunately he was a good swimmer so soon
caught him up. When he'd done so he threw his arms round David's naked body
and grabbed him down below. David was helpless as he felt his privates
being grabbed and squeezed. "Sorry" he giggled, "but I couldn't resist
it". Tom continued the grope until David was hard which never took much
doing. When they were finally able to stand in the shallow water they
pulled each other into their arms and kissed. David now had his hand firmly
round Tom's organ which was rapidly reacting. "Mm, love you" David
whispered into Tom's ear before kissing him passionately.

"You don't think Antoine is trying to...you know" Tom said once the kiss
had ended. David looked into Tom's eyes for a moment.

"Nah, Jason loves us; he's just consoling Antoine who's clearly upset about
this guy Victor; you know what Jason is like, he's a softy and can't bear
to see someone upset."

"Like you" Tom grinned, "That's what I so love about you guys". David
looked into Tom's eyes and kissed him again, hugging their naked bodies
tight against each other as he did so. He couldn't bear the thought of
losing Jason or Tom for that matter. He loved both of them equally.

After several minutes of kissing and holding each other, they climbed out
the pool and walked over to where some sun bed mattresses were laid out on
the patio with towels neatly folded on each one. As they walked their
erections flapped up and down but neither was bothered about that. They
each picked up a towel, quickly dried off the water still dripping from
their naked bodies and lay down beside each other. Within seconds they were
making love.

Inside the villa, Antoine and Jason had watched the others strip off their
shorts and dive into the pool. Antoine gasped when he saw the two fully
naked guys. "Beautiful" he murmured. Jason turned and saw he had tears in
his eyes so pulled him into his arms. They kissed passionately again and
hands started feeling inside their shorts. The hot hands on their naked
flesh soon made them react and the kiss became even hotter. By now
Antoine's tears were in full flow. He wasn't sure whether they were due to
telling Jason about him and Victor or about realising he no longer had a
chance with Jason. They continued kissing and hugging each other for so
long that when they looked outside they saw David and Tom making love on
the side of the pool. They were now in a ninety-nine position sucking each
other off so Jason gently led Antoine to his bedroom. Once inside he closed
the door, gently slipped off Antoine's shorts and quickly removed his
own. Both erections were now at full mast so it didn't take long before
they were rolling on the bed.

"Fuck me mon ami" Antoine pleaded, "I've so missed being with
someone". Jason reached across to the bedside table where he knew Antoine
kept his supplies and pulled out the lube and a foil packet. Once he'd torn
it open and slipped it on, he lubricated the big shaft and prepared Antoine
who by now had his legs high over his chest ready for insertion. Antoine
was always the bottom and never topped. Jason was soon inside him and
thrusting back and forth. As he did so Antoine groaned and moaned. He loved
Jason inside him and had missed this even though the sex with Victor had
always been brilliant. "Yes, yes, fuck me, fuck me hard" Antoine cried
out. Jason duly obliged but all the while his thoughts were on David. He
loved David and in no way was he going to do anything to upset that
relationship but he'd realised that Antoine needed him so in a weak moment
had succumbed.

When Jason had reached his climax and he'd massaged Antoine to his, he
pulled out, slipped off the condom and dropped it into the bin. "I'd better
go and join the others" Jason said as he kissed Antoine gently on the lips.

"Thank you" was all Antoine said as he watched Jason walk out.

Jason hastily slipped his shorts back on and casually walked outside. His
two lovers were now looking very satisfied with themselves as they lay in
each other's arms. "Hi guys, had a nice swim?"

"Mm, very nice" Tom giggled as Jason slipped off his shorts again and lay
down behind his gorgeous David. He pressed his naked body up against
David's and caressed his and Tom's.

"Love you guys" Jason whispered as he gently kissed both of them.

"Love you too" the others replied in unison.

"Is Antoine okay?" David asked looking into Jason's eyes. Jason nodded.

"Yeah, he's really cut up about losing Victor but I'm sure between us we
can cheer him up".

"Are you suggesting what I think you are?" David grinned.

"Up to you guys but I'm sure Antoine won't object receiving a bit of love
from the three of us".

"I'm sure he won't" Tom giggled casually feeling his still erect cock.


Their holiday was soon over but all three guys had enjoyed the sun and the
sex they'd had not only between themselves but also with Antoine on several
occasions. He was certainly looking a lot happier by the time the three
left him saying they looked forward to seeing him in November. Jason said
he'd arrange the flight and get Rory to collect him from the airport. He
gave each of them a very passionate kiss pulling them up close and personal
as he did so. By the time they'd finished he was rock hard and he had
plenty of memories to keep him going until they met up again in November.


19.

The new term brought new challenges for David and the relationship between
Jason and his father became considerably cooler since their last visit but
his mother told him his father would slowly get used to the idea of his son
living with two lovers as he had done when Jason came out. Jason was not so
sure but he was not prepared to let go of Tom just to please his dad but it
was agreed that in future only he would visit home leaving both David and
Tom at Woodcote when he did so. Instead he invited his sister and her
family over and his mum joined them on occasions leaving her husband at
home. It wasn't what he wanted and David could see he was upset but unless
his dad accepted the situation then they'd remain aloof from each other.

The concert was rapidly approaching and David was worried it was going to
be a flop but Tom and Jason assured him everything would be fine. Finally
it was upon them and Antoine arrived at the Kensington apartment having
been collected from the airport by Rory. As soon as they met he fell into
all their arms. On the Saturday Robert and Sam drove to London since they
too had been invited to see the concert. The apartment was therefore at
capacity but Robert and Sam took over and did everything.

A dress rehearsal had taken place on the Sunday which was the first day the
theatre was available having just finished the run of a play on the
Saturday. Fortunately everything had gone well so David relaxed. They had
another quick run through on the Monday afternoon in readiness for the
opening that evening. David couldn't believe that all six nights were a
sell out. He just hoped the students could stand the pressure. One thing he
had decided was that he'd only dance on the opening night. Oliver would
perform in his place on the other five. Tom agreed to dance each
performance much to David's relief because he was just perfect.

The first night was the most important because the profit from that
performance was being donated to the Elton John Aids Foundation and David
Furnish was going to be present to accept the cheque at the end. Certain
tickets had also been priced higher, partly due to boost the charity but
also because David was dancing and there was great interest in seeing him
dance again.

David was also playing the piano which was again situated at the back on
one side of the stage. Three violinists were situated at the front to one
side to augment the piano. The concert opened with David playing an opening
medley to set the scene. The piano had been placed on a moveable platform
which was controlled electronically from off stage. As he came to the end
of his introduction, the platform silently moved back as the audience
applauded. The first dancers then glided onto the stage and the audience
were in awe as they watched them dance. As soon as they'd finished the next
dancers came on and so it went on seamlessly. After the last dance before
the interval all the dancers came on to take a bow. The audience went mad
and gave a rapturous applause.

The second half was shorter and included the dance of the three lovers. The
audience were spellbound and Jason, who was sitting in the front row, heard
several gasps as Wayne and Tristan performed the first scene.  Then Oliver
literally flew onto stage to perform the angry dance with Wayne and once
again there were gasps from the audience. This was then followed by the two
lovers trying to persuade Tristan to be theirs and David was so proud of
them. All three were brilliant. When Tristan performed his dying scene and
the other two danced together showing their grief and love for each other,
the tension in the audience reached breaking point. The lights went out and
the audience erupted. When the lights came back on and the three dancers
took their bow they received a standing ovation. Oliver turned to David and
invited him to join them. The audience cheered and applauded as David took
his bow and put his arms round the three young dancers.

Whilst this happened, Paul took David's place at the piano since the next
dance was the excerpt from Swan Lake. David had two minutes to get ready
whilst Paul played the introduction.

"That was brilliant guys" he told the other three as he slipped off his
black trousers and white shirt he'd been wearing. He was already wearing
his tights beneath and whilst someone slipped on his ballet slippers the
makeup artist added the final touches and feathers were fixed to his torso
to make him look like the white swan. He was ready just in time for his cue
and he danced on stage. He'd originally planned to leap but knew his leg
wouldn't allow that but the effect was just as good. Within seconds Tom
danced on to join him and they performed magnificently. Finally it ended
and the pair took their bow. Once again the audience erupted and
shrieked. The applause was deafening and each time David and Tom left the
stage they had to go back on to take another bow.

Having done three, David held his hand up and the applause stopped. He
moved to one side for the other dancers to take their final bow. Once all
had done so, David moved centre stage and acknowledged Paul and the three
violinists. He then made a short speech thanking everyone for coming and
the wonderful performance put on by the students. David Furnish was then
invited on stage to accept the cheque amidst more rapturous applause. When
David thought everything was finished, Tom walked on stage carrying an
enormous bouquet of flowers. He presented them to David and kissed him
before getting the audience to show their appreciation once again. David
hugged him and kissed him back with tears running down his face. Finally
they all stepped back and the final curtain fell. David almost
collapsed. Not only was his leg hurting like hell but the emotional drain
had finally got to him but he soon found Jason by his side with Tom on the
other supporting him. The students rushed forward and hugged him thanking
him for all he'd done. Finally Oliver came up and kissed him. "Thank you"
he said before hugging him tight and kissing him again. "Thank you for
everything".

David was too emotional to say anything and watched them all go off to
change. Jason and Tom led him back to his dressing room where he sat down
feeling exhausted. Tom left him and Jason alone to go and change in the
main dressing room with the others. Once he'd gone Jason pulled him into
his arms and gave him a passionate kiss.

"I'm so proud of you my love, that was truly brilliant and so
beautiful". David smiled.

"They're not bad are they" he grinned.

"Not bad? They're fucking brilliant and it's all down to you; and that last
performance of yours was mind-blowing".

"And Tom; I've never seen him dance so well" David added. Just as David was
saying that, Tom reappeared. "Come here gorgeous, that was a perfect dance
that you just performed". Tom blushed as David pulled him into his arms and
kissed him passionately. "Just make sure you dance like that for the next
five nights" he said when he'd pulled out of the kiss but still looking
into Tom's gorgeous eyes. "You are every bit as good as Oliver and don't
you forget it".

"I agree Tom, you really are; you've come on in leaps and bounds" Jason
added. Tom shrugged and grinned.

"Yeah well, I still don't want to go professional; I can still continue at
the school can't I?"

"Of course you can my love and we'll help you do your teacher training but
don't think you're doing that because you can't make it as a professional
dancer because you could without doubt if you wanted". Tom was chuffed and
felt emotional tears filling his eyes as he kissed and hugged the two
special guys in his life.


The next five nights went just as well and were received with the same
level of enthusiasm by the audience. Oliver did David proud when performing
Swan Lake and the audience loved him but there were murmurs from some
saying it was such a shame that David had not been able to perform all six
nights. The press reviews were brilliant saying how brilliant David was on
the first night and what a brilliant job he'd done with the students. One
review even said that perhaps David should become a concert pianist if he
wasn't able to dance because of his tragic injury. "Such a loss to ballet
performance but a wonderful benefit to the profession" one reporter wrote.

On the Monday following the concert Mark Bates called to say he wanted to
see David. They met the following day and he gave David the list of five
dancers he wanted to offer places to in his new dance group. As expected
Oliver and Wayne were included along with three others who David had to
agree deserved to be there. "I'd also like to offer Tom a place" he
added. David knew what his answer would be but he called Tom into the
office so that Mark could make the offer.

"It's very kind of you and I appreciate the offer but professional dancing
is not for me; I want to stay here with David and become a teacher in due
course if David is willing". David took him into his arms and kissed him
right there in front of Mark.

"Of course you can but are you absolutely sure?" Tom nodded looking at
Mark.

"Wow, you're a lucky guy David and I wish you every success Tom. I'm sorry
not to have you join us because you are remarkable dancer but at least I'll
still benefit because I want to continue using this school for the young
dancers in my dance group."

David then called in the other five lucky dancers and when they heard the
news they all whooped with joy and hugged David to thank him. When they'd
danced out the door with glee Mark took David into his arms. "You really
are a remarkable man; I feel proud to know you". David just grinned but he
felt so happy. That night he'd take the two men in his life out for a slap
up meal.


Once Oliver was earning, he and Tristan decided to rent a place of their
own so moved out of the flat they shared with Rory. Their decision came
just at the right time because one of the many applications David received
following the successful concert was from a young guy called Sean. He was
seventeen and from what David and Tom could ascertain when they interviewed
the lad, he was having a hard time at home. He'd been seen kissing another
lad in a bar by a neighbour who had told his father and who'd then almost
beaten Sean to death when he admitted he was gay. His mother had just stood
by and watched her son being beaten and did nothing. If it hadn't been for
another neighbour who called the police Sean may not have survived.

Fortunately he'd already been to his first interview by the time this took
place so when he came to the second and David saw the state of him he
immediately called Tom in. David had already made his decision regarding
the lad's acceptance into the school but this made him even more decided.

"Are you still living at home Sean?" David asked. Sean shook his head and
said with tears in his eyes that he was sofa surfing with friends at
present but needed to find somewhere more permanent. Tom put his arm round
Sean feeling sorry for him and as he did so David noticed Sean flinch, not
because of Tom's show of kindness but because of pain. He moved over to
Sean and gently lifted his T shirt. He was horrified at what he saw.

"Tom, why don't you go and find Rory and ask him to take you and Sean to
collect his personal things from wherever he's staying at present and then
take him back home. I'll be along as soon as I've finished here". Sean
looked at David wondering what was happening. David explained he could help
him with accommodation but first wanted to attend to his injuries. "You
can't start dancing until those bruises and whatever else your dad has done
to you are healed so you can stay with us for a few days". Sean felt tears
of joy in his eyes. He couldn't believe that someone was showing him such
kindness. "Tom will look after you, he knows what it's like to have a
father like yours Sean". Sean looked at Tom and smiled. He'd thought he was
the only one who had to deal with such pain from parents so to know there
were others like him was so comforting.


When David got home he found Tom and Sean sitting in the living room
chatting. David had already called Jason to explain they had another waif
and stray to look after but Jason took it in his stride.

"I'd like to take a good look at your injuries first Sean, would you let me
do that?" Sean nodded and then looked at Tom. "Would you like Tom to come
too?" Sean nodded so they led him into the guest room. Bit by bit they
undressed Sean until he was naked. He didn't seem that concerned about
standing naked in front of the other two guys as they inspected his bruised
and battered body. Even his buttocks had red welts across them and Tom
winced at the thought of what poor Sean had endured. David suggested Tom
took Sean to have a warm bath to soothe his body and afterwards they'd put
some lotion on the cuts and grazes but David felt he needed to be checked
over by a doctor.

As usual Jason came to the rescue and arranged for Sean to be examined by
his private doctor in Harley Street the following morning. Having undergone
a full examination and had X-rays, the doctor said he'd be okay physically
once the cuts and bruises had healed but there might be mental scars. "He
should really report the matter to the police" the doctor said but Sean
shook his head violently and said he didn't want to do that. Tom could see
Sean was frightened of his father and could understand why. All he wanted
to do was never see him again like Tom had felt.

That night he stayed again at the apartment. When Tom went to check he was
okay before going to bed, he could tell he was worried about something. Tom
sat down on the bed and held Sean's hand.

"What's going to happen to me; where am I going to live; I can't go back
home" he said sadly. Tom took hold of his hand and gently squeezed it.

"Don't worry, it's all organised; you're going to share a flat with Rory
but Jason wants to make sure you are okay before moving you in."

"But I've not got any money to pay rent; I had a shelf filling job with a
local supermarket near where I lived but I can't go back there; it's too
far to travel and besides, I don't want to risk seeing my dad again". Tom
smiled and told him that the flat was owned by Jason and he could live
there rent free for the moment until he had found another job. Jason had
also agreed to give Sean a small monthly allowance for everyday
things. Sean looked at Tom hardly believing what he'd heard. "But...why
does he want to do that for me?"

"Because that's what we do to help guys like you; David and Jason did the
same for me when I was in your situation and look at me now." Sean smiled
and squeezed Tom's hand. He liked Tom, in fact he liked Jason and David as
well but he was just not used to people doing things for him and helping
him out. All his life he'd had to fight for everything. Finally he felt
calm so settled back to sleep. Perhaps his life was changing for the better
at last. He so hoped so.


Tom reported his conversation to David and Jason so the following morning
they sat him down to tell him what they'd planned for him. From what David
had seen during the interview with Sean he didn't have high hopes for him
as a dancer but time would tell. However, he had shown that he was a
determined individual and during conversations with Tom it had come to
light that Sean was good at using computers. Since Tom was now going to
start his teacher training course it meant David needed someone else to
help him in the office so Sean was asked if he'd like to do the job for a
trial period to see how he got on. Sean's eyes lit up.

"Oh yes, I'd love to" he exclaimed almost jumping into David's lap. Sean
was a slight lad and much shorter than David and Jason and even
Tom. Despite his tough life to date he seemed young for his age and quite
vulnerable. The others couldn't help but like him and wanted to do all they
could to make his life better so it was agreed he'd do the job for a three
month trial period during which time Tom would train him and he'd receive a
wage during that time. This meant he'd have money in his pocket and could
afford to pay his way. Even so, Jason only charged him a fraction of the
normal rent but the lad's show of appreciation was worth every penny.


All this happened just two weeks before Christmas and since Rory was
spending it with his father, it meant that Sean would be on his own. David
said they couldn't possibly leave Sean alone for Christmas so Jason invited
him to join them at Woodcote. It was the best Christmas Sean had ever
known. In view of the bad feeling between Jason and his father they didn't
go to the family house as was usual. Jason told his mother that he had a
full party at Woodcote so they couldn't come for Christmas. She accepted
the explanation but knew the real reason why. She'd had several arguments
with her husband over the matter but he was a belligerent bugger at times
and wouldn't budge. Even Samantha tried to talk to him but gave up in the
end. He realised he was losing his son's affection but he couldn't or
wouldn't change his feelings. He'd accepted David but the introduction of
Tom had gone too far for him to countenance. So, son and father were polite
to each other but any real love between them slowly died away.


Sean did in fact prove to be a great asset. By the end of his three month
trial period, David confirmed his appointment. He was well organised and
made sure everyone knew what they were supposed to be doing and followed
the systems that Tom had put in place plus a few additional ones he
produced, much to David's amusement. By the end of six months it was clear
that Sean would never reach the high standards required of a professional
dancer but he enjoyed taking part in some of the classes which was more to
help David and Tom, who was now well into his teacher training course so
taking some of the basic classes.

Life jogged along nicely for everyone for another year. Jason celebrated
his twenty seventh birthday, David his twenty sixth and Tom his
twentieth. All three were still just as much in love with each other in
their separate ways and their 'menage a trois' worked well. The David James
School of Dance continued to be popular and Tom was now taking more and
more classes. Jason often suggested they expand into larger premises but
David was happy to keep it small. They put on several more concerts which
were always well received but David never danced publicly again but he did
persuade Tom to do so on several occasions. Oliver and Tristan were now
becoming stars in their own right and David took great delight in going to
watch them in whatever production they were dancing in.

"You should be proud of what you achieved with Oliver" Jason told him after
one production. David did feel proud but could never have achieved it
without the love of his life.

"I owe you so much" he told Jason one evening when they were on their own
"and I love you with all my heart". Jason pulled him into a hug and kissed
him. Tears of joy were running down his face. Life seemed so perfect and he
couldn't imagine anything upsetting it. Even his father had become closer
to his son again and they spoke warmly to each other whenever they met or
spoke on the phone. Tom never felt that comfortable when in his presence so
he kept in the background and frequently stayed behind when David and Jason
visited the family home.
