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

              Nathan saw the nervous look Philip had on his
face when he told him that Robert wanted him.  After giving
Philip a hug, Nathan went into his father's office, closing
the bookcase after him.

              "Yes dad," Nathan greeted Robert.

              "Have a seat son," Robert said with a smile.
He clearly loved calling Nate that.

              "Ok..." Nathan said as he took a seat.

              Robert remained silent, looking at the young
man he helped Josh raise.  So much like his father it was
uncanny.  So much like him except for one thing, Nathan never
lacked for family.  Nathan was the happy boy Josh could have
been if his family had never died.  Yet, if that had never
happened Robert would have never met Josh.  He hoped them
meeting made up for the pain Josh experienced in life.  At
the moment that meant making sure Nathan did not make a
tragic mistake.

              "Do you think you love Philip?"

              "I don't know... I like him a lot.  Having
another guy in my arms feels real good."

              "So can I be fair in saying that you are in
love more with these new feelings than you are with Philip."

              "... I guess," Nathan admitted.  "I guess
that makes me pretty shallow."

              "Not at all.  We all get excited when we
experience something new.  It was about time that you let
yourself have a crush."

              "But..." Nathan sensed.

              "But I want you to be careful.  All of you are
still young.  Just because Philip is your first does not mean
he should be your last."

              "You want me to dump him?"

              "No... I'm not asking that.  What I am saying
is don't turn away from loving other people this early in
the game."

              "David?"

              "Yes... David."

              "I don't think dad would like it."

              "Dad can handle it.  Tell me... what are your
feelings for David."

              "I love him.  I have always loved him but as a
brother.  I didn't know he felt different about me.  I
didn't even know that I would like... that I needed something
more from a guy," Nathan said with a hint of frustration.

              "But now you do," Robert said calmly.

              "I know and I feel like I have made a mess of
things.  I didn't want David to leave home."

              "Well he needed to do something to get your
attention.  Leaving seems to have worked."

              "What am I to do?"  Nathan sighed.

              "Do... you should do whatever you want to do,
son.  You can be faithful to Philip even while you know he
can't do the same.  You can dump Philip and go to David."

              "I don't want either of those."

              "I know that is why I am going to recommend
this.  First, and this might be the hardest thing, get David
and Philip to become friends.  If they are fighting over you,
all of you will feel miserable."

              "How do I do that?"

              "Easy... you need to make them lovers.  Ok...
not so easy."

              "Philip wants to sleep with other men, why not
David?"

              "I don't think Philip will be the problem.
It is David I worry about."

              "I know... what I am asking you to do is not
push Philip on David but let them get to know each other.  It
is up to Philip to try and reach an agreement with David."

              "This sounds a lot like Andrew and you."

              "It is... but I want it to work this time."

              "Why should I not pick just one of them?"

              "Fine with me if you think you can do that?"
Robert sent back.

              "... I can't... not right now at least."

              "I know and no reason for you to make a choice
right now," Robert said as he reached for his back pocket.
"As it is only going to be the two of you, why don't you
invite David over and get a pizza."

              "Ok... I'll do that," Nathan smiled as he
took the forty dollars from Robert.

              "Both of them can also sleep over if you want
them to.  Tomorrow is the weekend."

              "Thanks dad," Nathan said as he headed for
the secret door.

              "Your welcome son," Robert smiled back.


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

              When Robert finally arrived back to the living
room Josh was on the sofa waiting for him.

              "Ready for us to go?"  Josh asked excitedly.

              "Yes... I just need to get a few things.  Be
right back," Robert grinned.

              Robert ran up the stairs to his bedroom.  There
he took out a gym bag out of the closet and put some articles
of clothing into it.  He then hurried to Josh's room, took a
few things from there, adding them to the bag.  He then made
a quick call on his cell phone before heading down.

              "Let's go, Josh!"  Robert called from the
front door.

              While Josh was trying to catch up, Robert went
to his car and packed his bag in the back of his jeep.

              "Hey... are you leaving without me?"  Josh's
laughter came from behind.

              "Now why would I do that?"  Robert joked.
"Get in the car and put this on," He grinned as he handed
Josh a piece of black fabric.

              Josh got into the passenger side and was
looking at the black cloth as if he had no idea what he was
suppose to do with it.

              "Give me that," Robert laughed from the
driver's seat when he decided that Josh wasn't going to
figure it out.

              After Josh handed it over, Robert wrapped it
around Josh's head so his eyes were covered.  "Now don't
take it off."

              "Ok," Josh giggled.

              Robert moved to hit Josh in the face, only
stopping an inch form his face but Josh did not flinch.  Now
sure that Josh could not see anything, Robert started the car
and began driving.  He arrived at the location but kept on
circling the block until his cell phone rang.  Now that he
knew everything was ready, Robert parked the car in the
underground garage.  He then guided Josh out of the car, into
the building and up an elevator all while keeping the
blindfold on.  When he arrived at the front desk, Robert held
a finger to his lips to stop the person there from saying
hello.  The desk woman gave Robert a grin as she tried to
hold back her laughter.  She took out a picnic basket from
under the desk and handed it to Robert.  Giving her a
friendly smile as thanks, Robert waited for a door to
unlock.  After walking down a long hallway lined with doors,
Robert went to the only one that was left opened.  Inside
were a complete weight setup, a treadmill, and a stair master
and a very special massage table.

              There was also a man waiting for them there.
His hair was salt and pepper gray but he was still as fit as
he had always been.  He took the basket and gym bag from
Robert.  Robert then carefully began undressing Josh, making
sure the blindfold was not disturbed.  Once he had Josh naked
he took the dark blue jock strap the other man held for him
and helped Josh put it on.  He then lifted Josh up onto the
massage table and lowered him on it.  That was when the other
guy took over, giving Josh a deep tissue back massage while
he, Robert, got undressed, putting on a black jock.

              "Do you know where you are Josh?"  Robert
asked when ready.

              "I think I do," Josh grinned.  "I thought
you gave this place up."

              "I did... I just got it back today.  Even the
special table that you are on right now."

              "Oh my god..." Josh said in disbelief.

              "This is where I gave you your first orgasm.
I think it is fitting that we celebrate by doing it again
here."

              "But if I remember correctly there was another
guy involved," Josh chuckled.

              "I'm here Josh," The man massaging him
smiled.

              "Doug!  I've not seen you in years.  Can I
take my blindfold off and see you."

              "You can as soon as we finish up with one
thing," Robert said.

              "What's that?"

              "Robert is going to fuck you while I'm under
the table sucking you off," Doug, their old fitness
instructor informed.

              "Oh man..." Josh sighed as he felt his jock
pulled off.

              While Doug started to undress, Robert pushed a
switch on the table that caused a trap door to open right
under Josh's groin, letting his cock hang down.  Robert
stroked Josh's cock from under the table until Doug was
ready.

              Doug, down to nothing, slipped under the table
onto the leather-covered platform there.  He then pushed a
button to raise the platform up until Josh's cock was within
easy reach of his mouth.

              Now that everything was ready Robert climbed on
top of josh, his cock resting in the groove of Josh's ass.
"Josh... this will be the last time I use a condom with
you," He whispered into Josh's ear as Doug fluttered his
tongue on the head of his dick.

              "What do you mean?"

              "I've tested clean and so has Dan.  I've not
slept with another guy other than Dan in three years."

              "Ok..." Josh moaned rather than said as Doug
pulled on his cock.

              "What I am try to say is... You will be the
only man I will have sex with for the rest of our lives."

              "One more test, Robert... just one more clean
bill of health," Josh said wanting to be cautious.

              "I understand... but after that, no more.  I
want to really fuck you... to cum inside your ass."

              "I guess old habits die hard," Josh groaned.

              "You are hard," Doug chuckled.

              "You are going to make me cum before Rob even
has a chance to get in me," Josh chuckled back.

              "Then I better get busy," Robert grinned.

              After lubing Josh up real good and stretching
his hole with his fingers Robert pushed in his dick right
when Doug's sucking sent Josh over the edge, shooting cum
into his mouth.  While Josh enjoyed the post orgasmic calm,
Robert pounded away at his lover's hole, enjoying the tight
feeling that was massaging his cock as he pushed in and out.
Not wanting his seed to be spilled in a plastic tube, Robert
pulled out of Josh before climaxing.  He raised himself off
Josh so he was sitting on Josh's ass.  He then pulled the
condom off right before he jacked his load onto Josh's
back.  Robert then got off Josh, lifting him back up so he
could kiss him.

              "That was wonderful Josh," Robert grinned.

              "Thanks... I liked it too but I think I need a
shower."

              "Then go take one.  Doug and I need to talk."

              "Ok... have fun," Josh smiled wickedly

              "It will just be business," Robert blush.

              "Ok... but you know I don't mind."

              "I know babe but I am serious... I want to be
faithful to you."

              "You always have been Robert."

              "Josh, you better get yourself in that shower
or we will be at it again... and I really need to talk to
Doug.

              "Ok..." Josh said as he went to the private
bathroom connected to the exercise room.

              "Well it has been a long time now has it
Robert," Doug laughed once they were alone.

              "It sure has pal and my body is showing it."

              "Well since you brought that up you have let
yourself go a bit," Doug chuckled as he pinched Robert's
not so flat stomach.

              "Hey I'm 48 years old.  How can you expect me
to still have a twenty year old body?"

              "How about we aim for a fit 42 year old body
instead," Doug grinned.  "I see Josh has found the time to
keep himself in shape... six pack and all."

              "I know... that's why I want to get myself
back into peak condition.  Josh has kept himself looking
good, I should do the same."

              "I am sure that Josh is with you for your body
Robert."

              "I know," Robert blushed.

              "But you should look out for your body.  You
want to be able to live a long life especially if you send
that life with someone you love."

              "Yes, you're right."

              "Hey... when it comes to health I always am."

              "That was another reason I called you here.  I
know you are now manager and don't really do private fitness
training but I would prefer having someone my own age than
some twenty year old gym bunny."

              "Hey... I would love to take you on as a
private client.  I made the same offer to Glenn and Kyle but
them seem to be happy with their extended waists and
cholesterol medications."

              "Well they are happy with each other."

              "I know... I give them a hard time when I run
into them.  They say they walk a mile every other day but I
also know that also eat that fatting Kansas City barbeque."

              "So what do you think you can do with me?"

              "Well with your age, I want to take care of
your back so instead of running, I will want you to do a lot
of swimming.   Combined with weight training and diet should
get you in shape in six months.  Body sculpting will take a
little longer and be more weight training intensive."

              "Well you're the expert.  I plan on taking
Josh away for a six-week honeymoon to Florida to get us
pampered and down the fitness track.  I plan to get my hair
dyed, the wrinkles around my eyes and forehead taken out, and
start taking growth hormone therapy."

              "Are you sure you want to mess with that
stuff.  I know it is said to improve muscle mass, skin
elasticity and some say sex drive but it greatly increases
your risk for a heart attack."

              "I know... but I want my years with Josh to be
good ones.  Instead of all the HIV tests and what not I take
every three months I plan to take care of my heart.  I've
not told Josh yet but I plan to go into the hospital for
explorative surgery.  They are going to check to see if any
of my arteries are clogged... if they are, they can put in a
stint before I even have a heart attack.  My cholesterol is
around 120, I have no sign of geriatric diabetes.  I don't
smoke and at most I have two glasses of wine a day.  I'm
about 20 pounds over weight but with your help that can be
taken cared of."

              "Ok but lets do it without the growth hormone
stuff.  At least lets see how far I can take you without it...
ok?"

              "Alright... might as well.  I'm sure that Josh
would demand the same thing."


              "As I said I'm sure he is not with you for
your body."

              "I know... it still burns me that Josh told me
once that Andrew is better in bed than me."

              "Well, a guy like Josh... I can understand
that."

              "What do you mean?"

              "I mean Robert... you are a great hard fuck,
one of the best but when it comes to foreplay I think most
high school kids are better at it than you."

              "I just know what I'm good at," Robert
defended.

              "I know... you are still the best fuck I have
ever had."

              "Then what is the problem?"

              "The problem is that Josh is a romantic.  His
type like is nice and slow.  His ass should not be the
primary target but his whole body."

              "And you are an expert of that... loving the
whole body."

              "Look at me... it was my job to help men
worship their bodies."

              "True... so what do you think I should do."

              "Well you won't learn it from porn films.
You need to take things slow... I mean real slow."

              "20-30 minutes?

              "More like 60-90," Doug grinned.

              "How am I to keep a hard on for that long?"

              "Just because you get one does not mean you
have to get rid of it right away.  You'll get hard, slow
down, and get hard again.  Keep one repeating that till
neither one of you can take it anymore."

              "What it will do is drive me nuts!"  Robert
moaned.

              "That is the whole idea.  Josh would love
it."

              "Well... I wish I had someone to practice on."

              "Well... when is your next STD test?"

              "Six weeks from now."

              "Well then you have six weeks till you have to
be committed to Josh forever."

              "Are you clean."

              "Yep," Doug grinned.  "Was clean two months
ago."

              "Would you mind getting tested next week?"
Robert was embarrassed to ask.

              "Sure."

              "And can you be well..."

              "Monogamous... well limited to you and Josh for
the next six weeks."

              "Yeah..."

              "Well... if I do that I will expect a lot from
ya'll.  I have needs too you know."

              "Ok... you can come over our place this weekend
and see the gym setup we have there."

              "Will do... now are you going to tell Josh
about this," Doug asked concerned.

              "Yes.  Going to tell him that you will be
giving us both some sex education but no fucking."

              "Ok... no fucking," Doug agreed.  "But I will
be bringing some of my sex toys over."

              "Ok... so long as you know that neither of us
are into kink."

              "Sure... that is what they all say," Doug
grinned.

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

              Tied to a chair, his hands behind him in
handcuffs, his mouth covered by duct tape, was Patrick.
Standing in front of him, dressed in a pair of black leather
pants and a fly swatter in his hand was Patrick's lover,
Mike.

              "Were you a good boy while I was away?"  Mike
asked in an authoritarian voice.

              Patrick, who was also stark naked nodded his
head yes.

              "Then what is this, my pet... a porn video,"
Mike said as he held up DVD case.

              Patrick looked down with a guilty look on his
face.

              "I think that I will have to punish you for
this.  But I imagine that you are pretty thirsty right now,"

              Patrick nodded his head yes.

              Mike put the fly swatter down and pick up a
pair of small scissors.  He used them to cut a small slit in
the duct tape over Patrick's mouth.  Mike then went to the
nightstand and picked up a clear plastic cup filled with a
yellow liquid.  Mike then pushed a straw through the cut in
the duct tape till it was past Patrick's lips.   Finally,
Mike let the bottom of the straw drop into the bottom of the
yellow liquid.

              "Drink up!"  Mike encouraged.

              Patrick looked at the cup and shook his head
no.

              "It's my own special juice so you will drink
it," Mike insisted as he gave Patrick's cock a squeeze.  He
kept on squeezing until Patrick drained the cup dry.

              "There you go... now though I need to punish
you for watching this video behind my back."

              Mike untied Patrick and led him to the bed so
he was flat on his stomach.  He took off the handcuffs,
exposing Patrick's bare pale ass.  Once that was done, Mike
picked up the fly swatter.  He ran it down Patrick's back,
tapping it again the skin as he did so.  When he reached
Patrick's bubble butt he made small circles around each
cheek. Mike looked at that white ass imagining how red he
could make it.  He raised his hand as if about to swat when...

              "Don't you dare," Patrick's voice spoke
out.

              "Oh come on hon..." Mike whined.  "I was just
getting into it."

              "I know, that is why I had to stop you,"
Patrick laughed as he turned around so he could see his
lover's face.  ""Beaches"... that is what you picked as
the "supposed" porn video."

              "Yeah...  Betty Miller stars in it so I thought
it was sort of gay."

              "Hahahahaha... using Mountain Dew as urine was
a nice touch."

              "Glad you liked.  So, you won't let me hit
you with a fly swatter."

              "I would but I have to work tomorrow so I'll
be sitting on my ass a lot."

              "I see," Mike grinned.  "So what other role
playing can we do?"

              "Well there is always the nurse giving the
patient an oral exam," Patrick grinned.

              "Or the flirtatious sales man," Mike added
with a smile.

              "There is our all time favorite... Josh and
Robert."

              "Yeah but that is not as fun anymore now that
they are actually back together," Mike sighed.

              "Ok... how about a Josh and Andrew?"

              "Hell no... I would have to play Andrew and
there is no way I can get off pretending I am him."

              "Well then... what do you think we should do."

              "How about something new," Mike grinned as he
climbed on top of Patrick.

              "Ok... what do you have in mind," Patrick
asked eagerly.

              "Marriage proposal sex," Mike finished with a
kiss before Patrick had a chance to reply.

              "What!"  Patrick asked, taken aback.

              "Patrick Harper...will you marry me," Mike
beamed.

              "Really... you are not role-playing this cause
if you are I'll swat your ass off," Patrick said dead
serious as his eyes went looking for the fly swatter.

              "I am very serious.  Will you marry me
Patrick?"

              "Why are you asking me this now after twelve
years?"

              "For many reason.  David leaving is one of
them.  I don't want to be alone.  The whole Josh and Robert
thing is another.  The two of them really belong with each
other.  The past twelve years have not been bad but they were
wasted.  I feel I really belong with you Patrick.  I've been
wasting time not telling you that."

              "I always knew," Patrick smiled.

              "Yes, but that does not excuse me not telling
you.  The main reason though is because I love you and it was
finally I did something to prove it.  Yes, marriage is a
hetero institution that now serves more economic purposes
than that of expressing love.  But it might be that since we
have nothing to gain financially from committing ourselves to
each other that us getting married would follow the truer
meaning of two people in love bonding themselves together for
all time.  So will you marry me?"

              "Yes Mike, I will marry you," Patrick
grinned.

              "YES!"  Mike jump off the bed in excitement.

              "Get back here!"  Patrick demanded.

              "Yes babe," Mike chuckled as he knelt next to
him.

              "I want it to be a small ceremony.  You, me,
Josh Robert, Dan, and the kids... just our family."

              "Ok..." Mike said.  He had hoped to make it
into a big gay bash inviting all their friends and then some.

              "And I want it at the house by the lake if
Robert is fine with that."

              "That would be a very nice place to have it."
It would also ensure that not too many people could come.

              "I just want it someplace that has meaning to
us," Patrick explained.

              "And for the people to have meaning."

              "Yes... I know that our friends would be happy
for us but if we invite them all then it will be more of a
party then a wedding.  We can have a large wedding reception
when we get back from the honeymoon."

              "And do you know where you want that to be?"
Mike asked.

            "No... I leave that to you."
