Chapter 14

WILLIAM'S POV

      William sat there in the living room with Davis; nervous about what
was going on in Carl's bedroom. He didn't know what to say to Davis, and
was feeling awkward being here without Carl.

      As he started to get up to leave, "Where are you going?" Davis stated
firmly.

      "I, uh?. I think I'm going to go out for a while, seeing that things
are a bit tense here. I'll come back after Marcus has had time to cool
down."  I continued towards the door.  I felt a hand stop me and take hold
of my wrist. Davis pulled me into a tight hug while saying, "It's going to
be all right, William. I don't think Marcus is angry; he's more shocked
than anything."

      "Are you sure, Davis? I don't want to be the cause of anything
between those two. I love Carl, but I don't want to end a friendship that's
as good as theirs is." Davis stepped back from his embrace, releasing
William and leading him to the sofa. "Listen to me William, I know my
future husband. He isn't angry, he's just shocked and a little upset that
Carl hid this from him all these years." Davis replied.

      "It was Carl's idea to keep this hidden until he was ready to come
out. It was hard for me to not speak of this to anyone, but because I love
him, I didn't want to betray his trust."

      "I can definitely respect that," Davis continued. "Actually, I do
appreciate that very much.  Will, you are a good person inside and out, and
I am glad that my cousin is in love with someone who is kind, smart and
very loyal to the one he loves. I just want to say, 'William, welcome to
the family!'  I love Carl like a brother and I will always love you the
same way." He embraced me again and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

      Tears were starting to well up in my eyes. A warmth filled me through
as I heard the words I had waited for. Ever since Carl introduced Davis to
me, I wanted to be family. I observed how similar our backgrounds
were. Like me, his parents disowned him for being who he was. He fell in
love with a hunk of a man who treats him like a king. "Davis, it makes me
so happy to hear you say that. It is as if a burden was lifted from my
shoulders. I do not have my 'regular' family anymore since they found out,
as you know. And for you to welcome me. . ." I started choking up. "I love
you and Marcus." I held Davis close and sniffled a little.



CARL'S POV

      "What the hell, Marcus?!"

      "I could ask you the same thing, Carl. You have been 'secretly'
dating William for almost three years and never told me!" Marcus shot back.

      "I'm sorry, Marcus, it just happened with William, and I wasn't ready
to tell anyone. Maybe I kept it a secret too long. I'm sorry for that, I
really am, but you should know how hard it is to come out."

      "So, what brought it about?" Marcus questioned with piqued curiosity.

      "Well, for me, it became obvious when he was beaten by his parents. I
had so many mixed emotions going through my head, but I knew I had to
protect him. I wasn't going to let anyone hurt him again. While he was
thanking me, he kissed my neck and I felt passion pouring out from him. And
on top of that, I started to get aroused, so I had to pull away from
him. For the following four weeks, I had to figure out what the hell was
going on inside with me, but every day that passed had me only thinking
about William; how I wanted to kiss him and hold him; be near him. Then,
while I was trying to avoid him while I brooded over this, William
confronted me as to why I had been distant with him. I was straightforward
as I told him I was developing strong feeling towards him; he had the same
for me and it went from there."

      "Look, bro, I'm not upset with you, just a little hurt. Now, I
understand why you did what you did. Come here, buddy." Marcus reached his
hands out towards Carl, and after a few brotherly hugs, back slapping and a
peck on the cheek, they were now on the same page.



      William and Davis were still seated on the sofa when Carl and Marcus
came back into the room. "See? I told you my big ape isn't mad."

      "First, babe, I do not look anything like an ape, mister. I will get
you back for that later. Just remember payback's a bitch!"  Marcus turned
towards William, "Will, I'm deeply sorry for storming out earlier. I don't
fully realize why I reacted that way, but I am very sorry. Please
understand, when I heard what Carl said, I was deeply offended. And to hear
that you both hid this for three years made me feel as if I wasn't the
close a friend I thought I had been, that I was not trustworthy, and that
drove the pain deeper into my heart. And now, after speaking with Carl, I
understand why y'all chose that particular path and I am very happy for the
both of you."

      "William, I love Carl like a brother so you better treat him right
and don't break his heart, or you will deal with me." Marcus said in a
serious tone while hiding the beginning of a smile.

      "I would never hurt him, Marcus. I love him too much, especially
after what he did for me." William beamed. Marcus came over, lifted Will
from the sofa and gave him a bear hug, almost squeezing the wind out of
William. Immediately, their conversations carried on as if there was never
a gap in their friendships. "The time is getting late, guys. Let's finish
this tomorrow." Carl was grinning.

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

      It was a short walk to Will's place, they arrived quickly; it seemed
as if time was standing still. No sooner did the door latch, in that
split-second between the door latching that William pulled Carl into a very
passionate kiss. As they kissed, the world and its cares faded away. Carl
moaned as William's lips brushed against his own. He only had a moment
before he felt William's tongue pressing against his lips and entering
deeper. Both were making sounds of enjoyment as their tongues wrestled for
position.

      They were slowly grinding their crotches together as they continued
their kiss. Each could feel the other growing hard. Will reached down and
cupped Carl's bubble butt and pulled their bodies more tightly
together. Carl was nibbling on Will's neck, starting on the tender area
just behind the ear. There was an unmistakable sound of pleasure, growling
from William's throat. Carl knew that William's resistance had just
crumbled. He lifted Will and carried him to the bedroom and laid him gently
on the bed.  "I love you so much, Carl," William whispered. "I love you
too, gorgeous." Carl was slowly climbing on top of William.



      Carl was slowly undressing his lover, pulling his shirt up from where
it was tucked into the pants, revealing a tight, firm abdomen with a light
dusting of hair flowing down from his beautiful pecs, which Carl loved. The
musky scent of William's chest all the more was signaling Carl's desires to
increase. He kissed William after he finished removing his shirt.

      As their tongues wrestled once again, William pulled Carl's shirt up,
over his head, resting his hands on Carl's side; rubbing up and down his
body feeling every inch of him. William loved tracing Carl's treasure trail
leading down to a now rock hard cock that is trying desperately to spring
free from his pants.

      William flipped Carl over and was now on top of him. Again, they were
becoming one; one goal, one love, still kissing and grinding their hips
together. He marked a trail of kisses down Carl's body, starting at his
neck and going to each pec, licking each nipple which brought a deep, dark
rumble out of Carl. The scent of his cologne found its way into Will's
nostrils, a scent that somehow inebriates and stirs his fiery
passion. William carved down Carl's abs like a chisel, licking in between
each section. He paid special attention to Carl's navel, pressing in deep
with his tongue, swirling the hair around his naval, and deliberately
moving down until he reached the top of the jeans. Peeking its head out was
William's prize straining to be released from its confines, leaking a huge
amount of pre cum.

      William slowly unbuttoned Carl's jeans and as he released each
button, he went back up for another hot kiss. He spread the fly and slid
his hand down into Carl's pants, feeling his hard, raging cock that he
wanted to swallow. He lowered himself onto Carl, wanting to feel his body
next to his. Carl began to get restless, which was just what William
wanted. William positioned himself in-between Carl's firm muscular
legs. With practiced smooth movement, he pulled down his lover's jeans,
revealing his tight black briefs with a huge tent in them. William rubbed
the bulge that was so large he had to have the prize. He slides Carl's
underwear down allowing his hard cock to slap against his abs. William
marveled at this beautiful man that was lying in front him he thought to
himself "He's mine! He's all mine! And I am all his!"

      "What are you thinking, baby?" Carl asked.  "Just how lucky I am to
have you in my life."  "Well, how about you show me how lucky you are" Carl
replied in his sexiest tone. William had a mischievous grin on his face and
threw himself at Carl, attacking his mouth.

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

      Marcus and Davis were basking in the afterglow of their love making
"Hey babe, what was the deal with you leaving when Carl told us his
secret?"

      "Honestly babe, I don't know. I mean, I'm happy that Carl has found
somebody to be with, but I guess I felt hurt and betrayed that he hid this
from me for so long," Marcus replied feeling really stupid with how he
handled the situation tonight. "Love, you as well as I, know how hard it is
to come out. Hell, look what happen to me and William, we don't have
parents anymore. You are one of the lucky ones. Marcus, your parents and
family love and accept you for who you are. I know my aunt and uncle will
accept him, but it's still scary." Davis said now looking up at Marcus who
had tears in his eyes "I'm sorry Davis, I acted completely wrong, I'm just
glad that he forgave."

      "He is a very forgiving person." Davis replied "Yes he is and that's
why I love him. He's been my best friend for most of my life." Marcus
replied leaning down to kiss Davis. They soon fell to sleep together; Davis
cuddled in Marcus' arms.

      The next morning, Davis started early. He was making breakfast for
everybody including his brothers Mario and Tommy. He loved cooking,
especially for friends and family. He started the coffee brewing, then
started to chop up fresh fruit for the salad. Davis' favorite part of
summer is all the delicious fresh fruit there is. Just as he finished the
salad, Marcus came out of their room, naked as a jay bird. His beautiful
cock swaying between those big firm muscular thighs.

      "Snap out of it Davis, you have things to do and perving on your
boyfriend is not one of them." I mumbled to myself. "Good morning my love!"
Marcus said wrapping his strong arms around my waist and kissing my
cheek. "Morning" I replied back he then stuck his hands down my
shorts. "Now why does my sexy chef have these on?" he asked. "Well, one, we
have guest coming, and two, I don't fry bacon naked. I could burn
something." I said with a snicker. Marcus reached down grabbing two
handfuls of my ass. "I don't want my playground to be burned," he said
lustfully in my ear gently nibbling on my ear lobe.

      I was setting up breakfast and sent Marcus to get dressed. He wasn't
too happy, but I slapped him on his butt and sent him to our room. Just as
I had finished getting the muffins out of the oven, Tommy and Mario arrived
and both were hungry. "Hey bro, something smells awesome in here!" Tommy
said coming into the kitchen for a hug. I waved to Mario over Tommy's
shoulder.

Carl's POV

      I am lying in bed with man I love and I'm out to my best friend and
cousin, now I'm about to be out to two more people. Is this moving too
fast? Am I ready to be out to everybody in my life? This might be moving
too fast for me. I love William and I want him to be happy. He is so
important to me, lying next to him watching him sleep; listening to his
cute little snore. I can't have these doubts. I love William and I want him
to be happy, plus it does feel better to start getting this stuff off my
chest but in a couple of weeks. I will be coming out to my parents. I know
they will accept me but it's still scary to think about.

      We were sitting around the table, eating, laughing, having a nice
time enjoying the breakfast Davis had made; stuffing ourselves like
pigs. But who wouldn't when you have all of this great food? The guys went
into the living room to relax that's when Carl decide to do it. "Tommy,
Mario, I have something I need to tell you guys" he began "I am seeing
someone, have been for a while now, I'm very happy in this relationship"
"Is it William?" Tommy blurted out. Everybody in the room had a shocked
expression on their face they couldn't believe he just said that "How
??. How did you know?" Carl asked. "Remember when we went over to William's
that night when Davis and Marcus where here alone?" he stopped to look at
Carl and William they both shook their heads yes, "I saw you two kiss that
night when I went to the bathroom, and when I came back, I saw you and Will
still kissing. I didn't want to be rude, so I went back to the bathroom and
made noises so you would know I was coming." Tommy said.

      "How come you didn't talk to me?" Carl asked. "it wasn't my place
Carl. Just like Davis, I knew before he told but I wanted him to tell
me. It wasn't for me to confront him about it, the same with you. It had to
be your decision and it didn't mean I loved you any less; I just wanted you
to come to me and tell me". Carl got up and hugged Tommy followed by Mario
"I will say, I was kind of hoping of going out with William but I am happy
that he has someone to love him." Mario said.

William's POV

      Am I pushing Carl too much about our relationship?  He seems happy,
and so far, his family is accepting, which I'm happy for. I knew they would
but I understand them being a little angry about him hiding it for so
long. I am nervous about his parents' response, they took me in. I hope
they don't get upset with me. I just don't know how they will react to this
news. I love his parents; they took me in when mine threw me out and beat
me. I'm just scared. Maybe it's a little bit of what happened with you know
who, but I can't shake that feeling inside of me.

      They fell back into their old routines of just hanging out, working,
playing and went to the pool a couple of times for a good swim. Marcus
being who he was always went in a speedo and damn it took everything Davis
had to not jump him right there, that bastard knew what he was doing to him
and Davis would see to him later. Carl could have been from the cover of
"Bodies Beautiful". But I am not ashamed in how hot I think my fiance's
body is, it's a fantastic work of art and I love exploring every inch of
it.

Carl's POV

      4th of July is this weekend and I'm looking forward to it. My family
is having a barbeque, then we are going to watch fireworks. Marcus' family
is also going to be there. I will be coming out to my parents and hope they
aren't too upset. I don't think they will be, I mean they both love William
to death. Maybe I'm just over-thinking the whole situation. I don't know
why I'm nervous. I guess it's just normal for any one coming out. I think
it will go fine. I just need to stop thinking about it so much.

      "Mom, Dad, can I talk to you for a second?" Carl asked. "Sure son,
what's up?" his dad said as they walked to the den. Carl had been putting
this off the whole time of the party and he just need to put on his big boy
pants and do it. "Mom, Dad, I have something really important to share with
you. It's something that I have been struggling with for a couple of years
now but recently I decide I needed to talk about it." Carl stopped to draw
a breath. "I'm gay and I'm dating William. I have been for two and half
years." Carl finally got it out. The room was silent for a few seconds. "I
was wondering when you were going to tell us, son," his father
replied. Carl eyes shot open like a deer in head lights "How ?. how did you
know?" Carl came out to his parents and both smiled at him.

      "Son we aren't blind. We have noticed things like how you to always
sit next to each other to where you are touching, or the looks at each
other plus seeing it in both of your eyes. Then there was the kiss on New
Year's Eve y'all shared in the back yard but we wanted you to tell us when
you were comfortable," his father replied, pulling his son into a
hug. "Just know that we love you both very much and we are happy that you
both have found so much love in each other." his mom said. Carl started to
cry, releasing all of his emotions; everything he had felt for the last two
years is going away. Being scared of rejection, it was all gone, and now
all he felt was love.

      "Welcome to the family son" Seth said coming up behind William giving
him a hug. "I thought I already was, dad" William replied

      "Son, Carl just told us about the two of you and we already knew and
love you both very much," Seth said giving him a kiss on the cheek.

      "Thanks dad, I am so happy and I love Carl very much. I wanted to
tell y'all so badly but I respected Carl's wanting to keep quiet about it"

      "And that, my boy, is why I know that you are perfect for my son. We
saw the love in his eyes for you, and the same for you to him. Mom and I
love you like you are our own, we love you baby boy and can't wait till you
are officially our son."

      "Slow down dad, he hasn't proposed to me yet." William chuckled

      "Well you never know," Seth said looking at him with a smirk. "Okay,
he knows something I do not." William thought to himself.

Carl's POV

      The night went on and we all went to the fireworks show. Davis and
Marcus sat in the back of the truck along with myself and William. I loved
having Will in my arms watching the fireworks it is so beautiful. I reached
into my pocket and pulled the ring out of my pocket "William would you
marry me" I said as I brought the ring around in front of him.

William's POV

      I'm sitting here in the arms of the man I love, watching beautiful
fireworks. I feel Carl moving under me I wonder what he is doing but I just
let it go. I see Davis and Marcus smile out of the corner of my eye. They
both have their phones out recording the fireworks, I thought. Then I hear,
"William, will you marry me?" and then I see him bring his arm around and
he has a ring in his hand I turn around and look at him I start to cry "Are
you sure you are ready for this?" "Baby I have never been more ready for
anything in my life. I love you and I want you to be my husband for the
rest of my life." Carl replied "Yes Carl, oh yes Carl. I will marry you!"
William replied while Carl slipped the ring on his finger. He leaned
forward to kiss Carl he didn't have to hide who he loved anymore, "See, I
told you." William heard papa Seth say. William turned around and saw papa
Seth, mama Marie, Marcus' parents, Tommy and Mario looking at them from the
end of the truck and Davis and Carl smiling at them. They all got hugs and
congratulations from everyone.

      William and Carl had parked farther away from everyone else because
there was no room. Tommy and Mario rode with them and they were walking to
the car when this group of guys fell in behind them unnoticed by
anyone. "Well, boys, looksee what we got us here! A group of Fags!"

      Carl and the others turned to look behind them but kept
walking. "Aww, the fags don't have anything to say to us."

      Carl was about to say something "No, don't; that's what they want
Carl, don't let them win"

      "What? You fags don't have nothing to say? Well, why don't all y'all
jus' get on your knees and suck our cocks. Wouldn't y'all like that?"

      "That's it! Listen, you redneck mother-fucker, I ain't gay but my
brother, my best friend and cousin are, and I will not have you
disrespecting the people I love; who have done nothing to you. So either
back the fuck up and move on, or you and me are going to have a big
problem! Believe me, you don't want that!"

         Tommy was having a stare-down with the jerk. "Is there a problem
here, gentlemen?" the sheriff said coming toward them. "No, not yet, just
teasing a bunch of faggots; no one important." With that being said, Tommy
swung and connected squarely on the jaw, sending the bastard sprawling on
the ground. Mayhem erupted at that point
