*Sean's Story IV--And life's back on track!*
***********************************************


*"Soft, wet lips were pressed against mine. Demanding. Insistent. I let out
a soft moan and rolled onto my back as Evan got on top of me. My hands
started wandering. I had no control as they began exploring the sculpted
physique of my Adonis. As they moved over the treasure he withheld, Evan
growled. My little sensual gestures had arisen the animal in him. His
fingers found the spaces between mine as he pinned me to the bed, his wet
lips moving from my lips to my neck where he playfully bit me. A strong
shiver ran through my body and I quivered like the string of Cupid's bow
when the arrow of sensual love is shot..."*

I smiled as I remembered every moment of the sensual night that had passed
between us. Our love for each other had manifested itself in the act that
had left us exhausted and in extreme bliss. I smiled and turned under the
covers extending my hand. It was empty.

My eyes sprang open. Was it a dream? Wasn't Evan here last night?  Or had
he left? Had he used me? My mind was raging with such depressing thoughts
when I noticed him. He was standing at the window looking at the rising
sun, with his bare back towards me. I sighed. Some insecurity from the past
had come over me. That was so stupid!

I silently got out of bed, planning to surprise him. However, the moment I
kept my bare feet on the floor, my heart beating fast, he spoke without
turning back.

"Have been waiting for you to get up for an hour now."

I was shocked. However, I gathered my senses and walked to him. He
encircled me in his arms and we stood watching the morning awaken. The sky
burst into orange flames as the sun appeared on the horizon. We were bathed
in yellow-orangish light, the heat of the sun washing over us. The sun's
soft warmth combined with Evan's body heat gave me an almost orgasmic
pleasure.

Cherishing this pleasure I spoke. "How did you know I was awake?"

"I could hear your heart beating fast in this body I admire." He playfully
answered and nibbled at my ear.

I giggled and tried to get away. The tickling and nibbling was turning me
on but he showed no sign of stopping. Sensing my resistance he tightened
his hold on me and pressed me closer to his body. We continued struggling
as he retreated from the window and pushed me onto the bed once again.
Getting on top of me he buried his face in my neck and continued to bite
playfully. I was getting excited and ecstatic. He growled and pinned me to
the bed again. I started losing control and was about to give in when the
door knob gave a click and Amanda walked in.

"Hey Sean! Time to get U...Oh my God!"

We turned our heads to look at her. Shock was etched on her face as she
quickly turned her back towards us.

Evan got off me teasing me with a smile. I rolled my eyes, grabbed some
sheets to cover my privates and tried to speak.

"Oh Amanda! We were just having s...No. I mean he came in the night...And
we slept together... Slept as in...Aarggh!"

What was wrong with me! I was so nervous that I kept on saying the things I
should never have uttered. Lord knows, what else I would have said had
Amanda not interrupted.

"Yeah! Yeah! I get the story. It's fine. You're grown up enough. It was
just the shock. I don't really expect to walk into my nephew's room and
find him going at it with his boyfriend."

She smiled and I relaxed.

"I'll be downstairs. Shower and come for breakfast. Hurry up or you'll be
late for school."

She walked out but stopped at the door and turned.

"Evan, will you mind using the front door now that I know you're here."

Evan looked at her and smiled sheepishly, scratching his head.

"And Sean." She looked at me and began closing the door. "The sheets are
not opaque."

I dashed to hide behind the bed while Evan burst into laughter.

*****

"And then I turned around and saw dad standing. I almost peed in my pants."

"I thought you were nude." I cut in while Amanda laughed loudly.

Evan had been narrating the event when his dad had walked on him to find
him indulging in self-pleasure. I loved to hear him talk. He was funny,
cute and a decent charmer as the little compliments he gave Amanda proved.
She liked him now and had given me a thumbs-up ascertaining her approval
while he had been indulging in the pie.

"That's just an expression, darling." He retorted, stressing `darling' and
seductively smiling. Amanda let out a teasing "Awww" while I blushed and
laughed, only to see Aaron standing at the door.

My laughter stuck in my throat while the others turned to look at him in
apprehension. The bubble of happiness I had created had been pricked with
Aaron's entry. I looked down on the cereal bowl and started eating. I had
no appetite now but that seemed better than staring at him before he
blasted.

Dead silence echoed in the room. I heard Aaron's footsteps as they made
their way from the door, crossed the distance and came at a halt right next
to me. My heart was beating fast as I turned to look at him. I was dreading
to look into a face distorted with rage and hatred etched in every feature.

But, I was surprised. Aaron stood with the tenderest expression on his
face, with tears running down his cheeks while he looked on the floor. I
turned to look at Amanda who looked equally surprised and Evan who was
watching him intently.

After an awkward minute, Aaron finally spoke. "Sean, I...I am very sorry
about what I said last night. I was drunk and hurt and didn't realize how
much I had hurt you. I was wrong in blaming you for our parents' death. I
have treated you very badly since last year and am very ashamed. I can't
look into your eyes now. I feel so dwarfed with my attitude while you
continued to bear my insolence and love me. I want to bring everything back
to normal between us. I apologize for everything. I dunno whether you will
forgive me or not, but..."

I threw the stool aside and hugged my brother. Tears of happiness found
their way out of my eyes and my heart filled with great emotion. I heard
Amanda sobbing while Evan sat beaming at us, nodding in appreciation.

"I was never angry at you, bro. You don't need to seek forgiveness for
anything." Was all I could say before I got too overwhelmed to speak.

When we calmed down, Aaron and I broke the hug and looked at each other. I
got another stool and we sat together to finish the breakfast. Amanda
continued fussing over us while Evan took my hand under the table and
pressed it lightly.

We had a great time talking about everything under the sun with Aaron
making us roll in laughter. Aaron told about the weird stuff he had done
since last year which sent Amanda over the edge for a minute before we
calmed her down. Aaron then went on to talk about last night and how the
things had gone at the Mysticus grill. I learnt about Daniel being Evan's
brother. It was then that Aaron spoke.

"Oh and I forgot to thank the person who knocked some sense into my thick
skull. Thanks Evan."

Evan smiled. "Mention not, Aaron.

I was surprised yet again. "You didn't tell me. When did you talk about
this?"

Aaron broke in. "Last night. I couldn't sleep when he came to my room and
talked to me. He made me realize your worth." Aaron smiled and gave me a
hug.

"However," Aaron continued. "Next time when you come to make me see sense
Evan, please don't walk in smelling of sex."

I blushed and playfully hit Aaron on the shoulder. Aaron, Amanda and Evan
laughed heartily.

"Guys, you should get leaving now. Time for school." Amanda instructed.

Aaron took the car while Evan decided to drop me in his. I winked at him.
We left for school though not without Amanda inviting Evan and his brother
to dinner that night.

*****

"Are you sure? I didn't get any such feeling from him. Your self-centered
brother didn't really like Aaron." I voiced my doubt as I got out of the
car.

"Oh! Daniel is that kind. Doesn't want to be predictable and stuff. He
hates when someone guesses his feelings." He said slamming his door shut.

"Anyway, how should I thank you for what you've done? You've just made life
so perfect!" I smiled and watched him come over to me. He put his arms
around my waist and pressed me against the car's side.

Looking into my eyes he gave me a sly grin. "Tonight, I'll take my thanks.
However, let's check up how much gratitude do you feel right now."

He came closer to me. His lips were inches from mine when Tyler's voice
boomed across the parking lot.

"Oye! Stop making out and come here!"

I laughed on seeing Evan roll his eyes pissed. We turned to face our gang
coming towards us.

"So you two love-birds have ended the hide-n-seek game. I tell ya we knew
something was cooking but you guys acted Bean and so did we." Stephan
grinned and messed my hair while giving Evan a hug.

Rebecca came to me and hugged me; she whispered in my ear. "Rachael doesn't
look very happy."

I turned my eyes to the green-eyed Rachael whose expressions proved the
"green-eyed fiend's" existence. Jealousy.

"Let her be." I whispered back.

Rebecca retreated winking at me. Chris and his girlfriend Rose
congratulated us while Rachael stood pretending nothing important was
happening.

Next, we headed to the school café and grabbed our favorite seats. I sat
with Evan and Rebecca on either side, while Rachael, Stephan and Tyler sat
across the table. Chris and Rose brought the burgers and pizzas while we
pulled extra chairs for them. That done we sat down to a hearty meal and
began talking about school stuff. True to his nature Tyler began his
announcements of our plans.

"Listen guys. We have Halloween next Sunday. There will be a super-cool
bash at school and I want everyone to be present with dates. That's
important. Considering that the party rules will be made by me, dates will
be mandatory. No dates, no entry. And, I want great costumes. The winner
has to be some one from among us. I'd hate some loser walk away with the
grand prize."

After Tyler's rather pompous and intimidating address, we began talking
about the preparations for the "Monster Ball" to be held at Halloween
night.

"Good that I found a boyfriend." Evan whispered in my ears.

"When did I say yes? You should officially ask me out." I answered with a
sarcastic smile without looking at Evan.

"You are so going to regret this tonight, honey." With this sarcastic
comment he pinched me on the thigh.

"Aeow!" I howled.

"What happened, Sean?" Stephan asked while everyone turned their heads
towards me.

"Nothing, my foot hit the table leg. So, what were you saying about
Halloween?" I tried to cover up.

Tyler gave me a quick, searching look before delving into the subject once
again. Evan continued to snigger in the next seat.

Suddenly, my attention was caught the news telecast on the TV in the café.
All heads turned in that direction as someone increased the volume. The
famous reporter George Keats was on TV speaking.

"The body of a nineteen year old girl was found lying on the Mysticus
highway. The girl has been identified as Tara Smith. The local authorities
are saying it's an animal attack. The girl was found by a local resident
who was returning to town. Sources tell that he reported seeing the girl's
throat having been ripped open. The Sheriff has asked people not to panic.
The situation shall be looked into. Any further reports will be given
soon."

There was a commotion and we looked behind and saw Emily Smith from my
class cring hysterically. Her friends were gathered and trying to console
her. Apparently, Tara was Emily's elder sister who was returning to town
after three year. I felt sad for her and turned to Evan.

Evan looked troubled. He seemed to be thinking something that was bothering
him. I put a hand on his shoulder.

"What happened, Evan?"

He shook as if coming out from a trance. "I got to go somewhere. I'll be
there for dinner tonight." He kissed me on the cheek and left in great
haste.

I watched him go. Why was he acting so awkward? Why had the news troubled
him so much? Such questions were forming in my mind when Rebecca said.
"Let's go and try to console her."

I nodded and walked with the others towards Emily. But, my thoughts were
still hung on Evan and his awkward reaction.
