DANIEL, LOST (revised and edited version)

Written by Bill Hudley

TJ

I took the mail from the box and opened my front door.Standing at the
kitchen island I was sorting the day's mail into keepers and junk when I
came across an envelope with a reply deadline date in the bottom left
corner. I didn't recognize the return name or address.  Opening the
envelope, I was surprised, it was an a save the date notice for the
upcoming Twenty year High school reunion.  The note gave all the
particulars and I'll admit that it did make me smile thinking about those
years so long ago.  How can d it be possible that I've been out of High
School twenty years!  I had no intention of attending and I tossed it into
the junk mail and was about to put the rest of the junk mail into the trash
when I thought about Danny. I put the reunion notice aside on the counter,
tossed the rest in the trash and went to change out of my work clothes.

Freed from my suit and tie, getting barefoot and into gym shorts and a tee
shirt made me sigh with relief. I headed to the kitchen and made my evening
cocktail of CC and water. I picked up the reunion notice and went to sit on
the deck in the late afternoon sun. It's a beautiful, balmy May afternoon
here in middle Tennessee.

I'm Thomas James Clarke, TJ to just about everyone but my Mother, who
always calls me Thomas unless she's giving me one of her frequent lectures,
then it's Thomas James Clarke as she preaches on the evils of still being a
38 year old single man. I'm divorced, live alone and I work for a small
local College here in Nashville. I've never worked anywhere else, I was
hired here right out of college and I've been the Assistant to the College
President for 15 years, come September. My gift of gab, a knack for finding
donors and the ability of getting them to open their checkbooks has kept me
in the good graces of my boss. I am a good worker and often I'm asked to
fill in for my boss at various functions when he has schedule conflicts.

I read the reunion notice again and reflected on life since High
School. Graduation had been in June and I started my college classes in mid
September at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. At age 22 I
married my college girlfriend the week after we graduated. By the time I
was 25 we had two children; that was the beginning of the end I would
decide later. With two kids in diapers our sex life was over. I always
thought we could get back to the way we were before kids but it just didn't
happen. Janey, my wife, and I gradually drifted apart and after eight years
we divorced. We've remained best friends and I bought a house close enough
to her and the kids that I could "be there" for the kids and for her when
she needed me to pick them up or keep them overnight.

On my 32 birthday I finally admitted to myself that I am gay, not bi-sexual
as I had tried to convince myself since the divorce. Janey is the only
woman I've had sexual relations with, all others have been men. To be fair,
'all others' equals five men in the past six years.

Growing up, Danny Drennan was my best friend, we lived in Louisville,
Kentucky and met when we were four years old in preschool.. We remained
best buddies through Grammar and High Schools, we were seldom apart for
more than twelve hours. Sometime during puberty I knew that I loved
Danny. It wasn't just a crush, I knew that what I felt for him was what I
was supposed to feel for a girl. I never let Danny know about those
feelings fearing that he would never speak to me again. I knew that losing
him would be the worst that could happen for me, I needed to be with him
even as just friends.We had to separate when it came time to enter
college. Danny to Lexington and the University of Kentucky and me to
Charlottesville and the University of Virginia.  We made promises to keep
in touch but early into my first year at UVA my Dad got a h uge promotion
and our family moved to Ohio. Danny and I didn't see each other gain. We
did manage to keep in touch with letters and the occasional phone call(I
know it's hard for the reader to imagine but there were no cell phones nor
email and the Internet back then The land line telephones charged
substantial fees to make long distance calls back then.  Those fees were
not included in our stretched to the max budgets.. After college we kept in
touch for a while, but with the birth of our daugher, our second child, we
lost touch. Since the divorce I had tried both telephone and computer
searches, trying to locate Danny without any luck. The odd chance that he
might be at the reunion convinced me to fill our the reunion form and mail
it off with my check.

If we could reconnect it would be so great to have my friend back in my
life. I've never been as close with anyone as I was with Danny, not even my
wife. I wrote the reunion date in my Day Planner and on the calendar in the
kitchen. I have a drawer full of electronic gadgets that were gifts to keep
track of things like this but I just don't get it. I still write real
letters in longhand, my Mom insisted that personal letters, notes and cards
should be written, never typed; also I still have the old fashioned
landline telephone at home. My concessions to the electronic age are a
basic cell phone with prepaid minutes and no contract and my desktop
computer.with a DSL internet connection,

I phoned Janey and told her the dates that I would be away and where I was
going. She was constantly trying to get me out of the house and meeting new
people. A couple of years back I had to insist that she stop trying to set
me up with dates. She always had a friend or acquaintance that knew a gay
man and she automatically thought any two gay men would just click
automatically. I asked her once it she 'clicked' with every man she went
out on a date with.

"Don't be silly TJ, of course not. There has to be a chemistry to really
like someone." She said.

"Then why do you think it would be different with two gay men Janey,
chemistry is the key with us too."

She just stared at me like I was from another planet, not comprehending at
all what I meant.

Janey was thrilled that I was going to the reunion.

"TJ, maybe you'll meet up with Danny there. You've always talked about how
you miss him being your friend. Yes, you have to go. Getting Danny back in
your life is exactly what you need now TJ."

There are times that Janey surprises the dickens out of me. This was one of
those times. She knows me so well. She advised me to go shopping for a new
outfit.

"For heaven's sake TJ, don't wear one of your boring business suits. Go get
something nice that you wouldn't wear to work. I know you're going to be
the best looking guy there so look the part TJ."

Looking at my wardrobe confirmed Janey's opinion about what I should wear,
so I went to Cole Haan, my favorite Men's shop, in Green Hills to shop for
clothes I wouldn't wear to work. I did want to look my best just in case
Dan was there. With the help of a male assistant, whom I thought to be too
obvious in his attentions to me, I selected tan slacks that fit me very
nicely, the assistant kept talking about how well the slacks "displayed my
assets". I chose a matching tan silk crew neck pullover, a navy Armani
Sport Jacket with a Cordovan belt and Cordovan Italian styled slippers. I
was very pleased with the outfit.

In High School I was all legs, arms with a concave chest, tall and very
thin.  I ran on the track team and won a few Cross Country events. I still
hold a couple of Kentucky State High School Track records. Once I was away
at college, I matured (read put on the freshman 20 pounds) and worked on my
body in the weight room.  By the time I graduated from UVA I had managed to
muscle up and graduated weighing 147 pounds (30 pounds more than when I was
in High School) Since my divorce I've joined a Health club in Green Hills,
just down the road from my home in Hillsboro Village and I still go the gym
regularly. I'm certain that no one will know me by sight at the reunion.

I took the day off the Friday before the reunion and drove to Louisville,
checked into my hotel in the afternoon around 4 P.M. The reunion would be
held in the ballroom of this hotel tomorrow evening and I won't have to be
concerned about drinking and driving. Tonight was free, no events planned
so I read the complimentary newspaper in my room, went down to the
restaurant for dinner then back to the hotel bar to watch a college
baseball game between UK and the University of Cincinnati. UK won.

Saturday morning I drove to my old neighborhood and stopped to look at the
house where I had lived. So many memories flooded my mind as I sat in the
car looking at that house. I sat there at least ten minutes, maybe more
staring at my upstairs window.  Danny and I had strung `tin can telephones'
from our window and we would go to sleep talking to each other on those
nights when we didn't get to spend the night together. After about 10
minutes I started the car and drove to our High School., stopped by
Kaelin's for a Cheeseburger then spent the afternoon at Churchill Downs
watching the horse races. I left at five p.m. $50 poorer than when I had
arrived.

Back at my hotel, after eating a light dinner from buffet table, I went to
my room to get dressed and ready for myself ready to go down to the
ballroom for the reunion festivities. The thought crossed my mind that if
no one I knew showed up, I could drop into the hotel bar and check out the
action there. After a shave and shower I took my time getting dressed being
sure that each item of my clothing was just right. I put on my jacket and
turned to check myself in the mirror. I had to smile, Janey was right. This
outfit is perfect for tonight, I look darned good for a thirty eight year
old father of two teenagers. I had a spring in my step as I made my way
toward the ballroom.

At the reception desk I signed in, picked up my name tag and put it in my
pocket as I looked at the Senior Yearbook on the table by the guest
register. I went to Danny's picture first and seeing his smile made me
laugh as memories of us as kids flooded my mind. I flipped back a few
pages, when I came to my picture I groaned aloud, feeling sorry for that
poor thin waif staring blankly at me. I heard a female laugh next to me...

"You wouldn't believe how many of us make that sound when we look at our
pictures back then. Glad you could make it. Let me see if I can pick you
out" she said.

When I turned to face her I could see that she didn't have a clue who I
could possibly be. She gave me a long appraising look and smiled
seductively as she scanned the yearbook then back to me a few times. I
recognized her almost immediately, she's Jennifer Jansen, one of our
cheerleaders, a four year class beauty and probably the nicest girl in the
whole school. Everyone liked Jenny.

"Jenny, wow, you're more beautiful now than you were at 18. I'm..."

She cut me off..."Don't tell me, I want to see if I can pick you out."

Looking at the yearbook, then back to my face she had a puzzled
look."you're not on this page." she said. I laughed.

"I wish, but I'm there alright. Look at the last names starting with C."

"Mmm, no...I don't see you here."

I pointed to the picture of the poor thin waif with the blank stare.

"Thomas J. Clarke, that's me, TJ."

"NO! It can't be, you're so hand..."

She stopped mid sentence before she said I was 'so handsome' now.

"Wow you certainly have matured well TJ, what a change. I do remember you,
the track teams star runner, you won a lot of races in track and a couple
of State Championships.You were very smart too, yes, the President of the
Beta Club Junior and Senior years. I was in Beta Club too, but only one
year, not four like you. I seem to remember that you went out of state to
college, Virginia I think. So where are you now? wife, kids?"

"Gee you have a great memory Jen, yes I graduated from UVA and now I'm in
Nashville, I've two great kids, a Son 17, a Daughter 15, the wife and I
divorced eight years ago."

"Been there and done that honey, enough said." she chuckled.

She stepped back and gave me the once over again, head to toe and back down
to my belt level then back to my eyes, she smiled and she was
different. She had shifted into her 'man hunter' mode.

"Hon, I need to check on some things, none of the classmates that said they
would help out are here yet. We'll have talk more later, okay. Don't you
leave without talking with me, I want to be sure we get reacquainted
tonight. Don't you forget me, you hear.The change in her was obvious as she
switched effortlessly from hostess to seductress and flirted shamelessly
with me. She left giving me a look that promised a more intimate talk than
I was willing to undertake. I made my way to the bar and ordered a drink. I
was sipping my drink and had turned on the bar stool to face toward the
entrance and watched the door as classmates began arriving. Surprisingly I
knew most of the guys at first sight and a few of the ladies too.

As I raised my glass a tall good looking man enter that I didn't
recognize. I didn't remember any classmate that good looking. I was
studying him trying to place him as he talked with others at the
registration table and searched for his name tag. When I saw him laughing
with Jennifer Jensen, a chill shot through me.  The proverbial `punch in
the gut.'  IT"S HIM!' OHMIGOD! It's him!  It's Danny! HE"S HERE! His smile
and his crinkly eyes when he laughs gave him away. I turned back to the bar
and set my drink down, my hands were trembling and my heart was racing. I
was nearly in a cold sweat.  I had to sit and watch him in the mirror for a
moment, It's Danny! He's here!

I closed my eyes and took a moment to say a calming mantra.  Once the
joy/fear feelings passed, gulped the rest of my gin, stood and straightened
my clothes, and searched him out in the mirror behind the bar
again. Certain it was him, I looked straightened my posture and made sure
my name tag was turned face down. I wanted to see if he would know me. I
slowly walked toward him, as I approached, he caught my eye and we nodded
but I could tell he was trying to figure out who I could be. As I neared
him I stuck out my hand and said...

"Hello...Danny?"

"Yes, hello... but I can't seem to place you...sorry."

I smiled and started to tell him when he yelled...

"OHMIGOD!...TJ!... IS THAT YOU?

Grinning ear to ear I nodded as he grabbed me into a bear hug. I felt so
many emotions as he hugged me to him. I had dreamed of this meeting so many
times since my 'coming out' Danny was my main source of sexual release and
I conjured up jack off fantasies of us together constantly. I still love
him, much more now as a grow man than I did as a kid before. I just want to
be near him in any way that he will accept. I miss the way he makes me
feel. With Danny I always had a feeling of well being, good times, and
things being as they should be. Things were right when we were together. I
dreamt of us being lovers but I will gladly and happily settle for being
his good friend again.

"TJ, I can't believe this...it's really you!. You may not believe me, but
you are why I'm here tonight, I was hoping that you would be here. I've
missed 'us' TJ. For years after we went off to college, when anything big
happened in my life I wanted to tell TJ. It is so great to find you
again. Okay, right now, let's promise that we will never ever lose touch
with each other again.""I promise Danny. I don't want to lose you again
either. I've missed my friend"

He stepped back and gave me the once over almost like Jenny Jansen had
done.

"Damn TJ, who knew that skinny little kid I knew would turn out looking
like this. I never dreamed that you would be such a stud! Look at
you. Wow."

"Right back at you Danny. You'll need a big stick tonight.  This place is
full of sex starved Cougars on the prowl; you're going to be beating these
ladies off you all night. I didn't know who you were until I saw you
laugh. Your eyes and that smile gave you away."

"I know, when you were walking this way and we nodded I couldn't figure out
who you could be, as we were shaking hands you smiled and then I knew. Your
smile and your eyes."

"Let's get a drink...are you here with your wife?" he asked

I held up my left hand, bare of any jewelry.

"We divorced, eight years ago. We're still close friends and live near each
other for the kids sake, a Son, Callum 17 and a daughter, Susannah 15, and
you?"

He laughed. "Almost identical to you, divorced five years, son, Connor 17,
and daughter Malin, 15. This is great TJ, just us, no women to keep us from
talking about old times, it's just us tonight. I can't believe it. TJ and
Danny, together again after all these years."

We sat at the bar or a nearby table most of the night catching up with each
other's lives. I noticed that every so often a line of ladies would
discretely pass by us, giving us the once over and 'come hither' looks. We
were polite, but we laughed when they left. After a couple of hours the
sexy looks, became glares of resentment. Danny and I just kept talking and
drinking. There was a short informal program, a couple of classmates spoke
about the 'good old days' to much laughter. It dawned on me that those who
talked most about the good old days were the jocks and girls that were the
beautiful and popular kids back then. Now, more often than not, their teen
good looks had been replaced by receding hair or no hair, too many extra
pounds and lots of booze. There were exceptions, like Jenny Jansen, but
generally the 'in crowd" from our High School days had taken a beating over
the past 20 years, looks wise, both Danny were late bloomers and were now
nearing the apex of both our careers and our physical appearance.

Dan commented several times on how different I look and he kept feeling my
biceps, he seemed truly amazed at how I had transformed from being beanpole
thin to this ripped body I had now. My Senior year I was 5'11" tall and
weighed 117 pounds with my pockets full. Today I'm still 5'11 but I weigh
155 pounds and have nice muscles, a mildly defined six pack on my stomach
but I'm not crazy ripped like body builders get. I'm pleased with myself
that I've developed my frail teen body into a healthy and fit physique.
I'm also proud of my flat stomach and my 31 inch waist. With Dan, it's hard
to tell under his suit but he's still 6'4" and about 165 pounds give or
take a few, his stomach is flat and his waist small and trim. I looked when
I could at the fly of his suit pants but it stayed maddeningly flat, giving
no clue to his package. It was just as well, having my friend back was
enough for me.

We heard a last call from the reunion bar long before either of us were
ready to stop drinking and talking.  Looking around I noticed that most of
the crowd was gone. We crossed the hall into the hotel bar and saw that
several of the tables were occupied by our classmates. One table seated
those ladies that kept walking by us at the reunion. Dan and I continued
talking and drinking. After fifteen years there was a lot to catch up on
but I believe both of us could have sat there and not said a word, just
enjoying being with the other again.

I told Dan about my job at the college and how I liked the work. I found
out he was an executive with General Motors and is assigned to the Corvette
Plant in Bowling Green, Ky., only 60 miles from Nashville. I kidded him...

"I'll bet you drive a red Corvette convertible, right."

"Not red, it's white, but it has a red interior."

"What do you drive TJ?"

"Just an old Ford. Remember, I'm divorced and work for a small college."

We spent a long time talking about our kids and exes, I gathered up my
courage and told Dan that I am gay and had finally admitted it five years
ago. I also told him that I was in love with him back when we were in
school, and had been for as long as I could remember.

" TJ. I'm really surprised, I never had a clue that you felt that way about
me, I'm flattered now. You do know that it doesn't matter at all as far as
our friendship goes. Now since we've reunited, I can't imagine anything
that could stop us from being best friends the rest of our days. Geez, TJ
the way you look, I bet the guys line up for a date with you."

I laughed. "Dan in the six years I've been actively gay I've had five
dates. I average less than one a year."

"Wow TJ, I was sure you would have a partner, you must like playing the
field then, huh?"

"No, it's not that Danny, there would sure be more than 5 guys if I played
the field. No, I don't have a partner either. There was only one guy who
I've ever wanted as my partner, but that just wasn't to be."

"What happened TJ?"

"Dan, I'd rather not talk about it, okay. Maybe I'll tell you someday."

When Dan got up to go to the restroom he stumbled and reeled, I managed to
catch him and keep him from falling and I led him to the restroom.  After
he relieved himself I took him by the arm and we left to go to our rooms. I
asked his room number and he was just across the hall from my room. I first
opened Dan's door and then mine, I thought he had gone into his room but
when I opened my door Danny walked in and fell on my bed.

"Danny, your room is across the hall.""Mmm sleepy. Let's go to bed" Dan
said.

"Dan, your bed is across the hall, okay."

"Nope...your on your bed, I'm on your bed, 'okay."

I stepped into the bathroom to take a leak and Dan was snoring when I came
back. I slipped his shoes off and put his legs on the bed, and left him
there, dressed except for his shoes. I stepped across the hall and closed
his room door. Back in my room I Kicked off my shoes, I laid down on top of
the covers too. The bed was king size so Dan was on one side and I had lots
of room on the other. I turned out the light and closed my eyes. In a few
minutes I heard...

"Psssst TJ"

"Yes Dan."

"You asleep?"

"Yes Danny, I'm asleep, I can't hear you."

"TJ, YOU AWAKE?" he yelled.

"Yes Dan, I'm awake."

"Loved you too TJ"

"What did you say Danny?"

"Loved you too, back then."

"Loved who when, Danny?"

"Gotta get up"

"Are you sick Danny?"

"Nope, gotta get up...gotta get sober"

"Danny, just lie still and go to sleep, you'll be okay in the morning, go
to sleep."

"Gotta get sober and tell you, got get a cold shower and tell."

"Dan you'll be sober in the morning, go to sleep."Danny rolled and fell out
of bed to the floor. He was almost upright when I go to his side and he was
determined to take a cold shower and sober up. Finally I just let him do
what he wanted. I lay back, closed my eyes and replayed tonight in my
head. I was dozing and daydreaming about us as grown ups getting together
with our kids, when I heard the water shut off.

In a few moments Dan walked out of the bath with a towel around his
waist. I gasped when I saw his body. His perfectly formed chest was a
forest of dark hair, thickest between his pectorals and his treasure trail
split him down the middle. The towel around his hips was not flat like his
fly had been all night. It seemed to be growing as I tried to look anywhere
but there. Dan had a second towel and was drying his dark hair.

"Whew..sorry I had too much to drink there TJ. I didn't mean for that to
happen."

"It's no big deal Dan, it's alright."

"TJ, there's more I need to tell you. I should have earlier, I wish I had
earlier. But before I tell you can I ask you a question?"

"Danny, you can ask me anything, just like before, anything."

"I had this feeling earlier when we were talking but I just don't
know...uh..if I'm right or not...I could be so far off base here...but I
have to know...it's really very important. If I'm wrong, I'm so sorry, but
I have to know. Earlier you said there was only one guy you wanted as your
partner...I know you said you didn't want to talk about it...but it's
killing me here not knowing. TJ when you said that, by any chance were you
talking about me?"

OH GOD... He knows, what am I going to do, what do I say to him. I hung my
head and just sat there, I looked at my feet, I couldn't face him.

"TJ, please tell me, I need to know...was it me?"

I started crying, sobs wracking my body my, shoulders shaking as I nodded
my head yes. I feared that he couldn't accept it, would be through with
me. We had just found each other and I'm driving him away again.

Dan stepped closer and raised my head by my chin.

"Did you nod yes, TJ. Was it me you wanted as a partner"

The tears were streaming, I nodded again.

"Oh TJ...it's okay...it's okay Tommy!"

Dan held me close and stroked my neck and back.

"Don't cry,Tommy, we're okay...TJ...we're okay. Back when we were kids, I
was in love with you too. It scared the dickens out of me. But just like
you, I kept it all inside and soldiered on like it wasn't there, just like
you did. The wife and kids, the divorce, all the same as you. Then after
the divorce, just like you, I knew I was gay too. I knew I had to try and
find you.  Since the divorce finding you is all I've wanted.  TJ and Danny,
together again.

I want a life partner too. The slim chance that we would meet again tonight
is why I'm here. I've searched for you for five years now. TJ...can we be
together, maybe even as partners. You've always been the one I wanted to
make love with. Can we make a new beginning together, I really do love you,
and now it's not the friendship kind of love.  It's more.

There. I've said it now. That's why I got so drunk, hoping it was me, but
not wanting to know if it was someone else. I knew I had to sober up and
tell you the truth about me, about how much I love you and want us to be
together."

I pulled back from his hug and looked into his eyes, not believing what I
thought I heard. As I started to speak he said...

"Yes TJ, I said I'm gay. Yes, I said I love you, back then when we were
kids and right now.  And yes, I asked if I could be your life partner, your
lover and friend."

I sat there staring at him in disbelief until I finally understood what he
was saying. I hugged him tighter to me and said...

"Yes, yes! Can this really be happening?  You really mean it Danny?  Hold
me Dan, I may float away. I never, ever believed this would ever
happen. I've dreamed it a thousand times, and wished for it a million more
The years of searching and never finding a clue about you had me doubting
that we would ever meet again."

Dan put a hand on the back of my neck and pulled me into our first
kiss. When our tongues met I felt fireworks exploding in my brain, my body
trembled, Dan leaned forward pushing me back onto the bed, never breaking
contact with our lips and tongues. Our bodies were pressed together and I
felt his hardness under the towel. I'm sure he felt the same in my
slacks. When we broke the kiss, gasping for air, Dan held my face in his
hands...

"TJ, my handsome TJ. You've just made me the happiest man alive."

One hand was loosening my belt and unbuttoning my slacks, he pulled me up
by the back of my neck again and started another kiss as he tugged my
pullover shirt from my slacks broke our kiss to get it over my head and
off. He stood and tugged my slacks and shorts off and I lay naked before
him, my cock standing tall and proud at it's almost eight inch length. Dan
was taking in my body with his eyes...

"Oh migod, TJ, you are perfect, that body, so beautiful."

As he stepped closer I tugged at his towel and watched as it slid to the
floor. I sucked in air when I saw his hairy naked body, hard, muscled and
trim. He has to be a gym rat too... and that cock!  He's longer and bigger
in circumference than me. My dream man, my Danny in the flesh, looking down
at me with his cock hard as stone.

I took Dan's hand and pulled him to me. He lay with half his body atop mine
and we kissed and rubbed our bodies against each other and we made out like
we were horny teens. He was kissing me and gently tugging at my chest hair,
his fingers found a nipple and pinched hard. That was all it took for me, I
ejaculated all over both of us without either of us touching my cock.

"Ooooohhhhhh Danny. See what you do to me!  Gee, I've never done that
without touching myself or being touched before. My nipples must be
hardwired directly to my cock. I never knew that."

There was very little sleeping that night for either of us. We had lots of
short naps and more sex in one night than I have had in my
lifetime. Everywhere we touched was a new place to kiss, horny teens would
have had a hard time keeping up with us old guys this night. The morning
sun peeked around the edges of the drapes and lit the room dimly. We rolled
together face to face and kissed, our bodies touching from our lips to our
toes. Every so often I had to pull back and just look at him to make sure
it was Danny. My Danny here with me, naked and setting my body on fire with
his touch and kisses.

We were both hungry, the last few hours sexual exploits had depleted our
reserves. Dan grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet and into the
shower. Never missing a chance to put our naked bodies against each other,
Danny hugged me to him as he stood behind me. He took the soap and began
washing my front taking time to touch every inch of my body he could reach
from his position behind me. Finished with that side I turned to face him
and hugged against him tightly as he gently washed my back side. Now that
we faced each other, I was able to kiss his neck and ears while he washed
me. When he was washing my hair I fondled his hard cock and testicles, I
feared that this was another dream and that I would wake, alone, and in a
heavy sweat, like I have done so many times over the years. Finished and
rinsed he kissed me lightly and said...

"Food! We have to eat TJ...come on babe...let's go eat."

Dan wanted to go to a great little Mom & Pop place that his Dad had
frequented regularly. We were walking to the car when Dan shouted...

"OH Wow! TJ! Would you look at that Mustang! Man that's sharp. It looks so
much better than the ones they make now, it even looks better that it did
when it was new!"

He was gawking at a 1967 Mustang convertible. It's been restored and
updated with a load of today's modern conveniences. It's painted a Dark
metallic gray, a saddle brown top and interior, custom one off chrome
wheels designed by Chip Foose, and a chrome mesh grille. I watched him as
he gently let one hand glide along a fender.

"Your supposed to be a Corvette guy won't you get tortured by your
co-workers or something for liking a Ford."

"This one is special, it's so beautiful." Dan replied."I smiled at him and
tossed a set of keys to him. Your driving since you know where we are
going. Dan, you do want to drive this car don't you?"

"What...you mean...TJ!...This is your car! WOW...but you said you drove an
old ford."

"Well, it's twenty nine years older than we are...That is old, Danny!"

He hit the remote unlock and opened the doors. When that 302 CubIc inch
motor roared to life, Dan's eyes went big and he was grinning from ear to
ear when he heard that Ford V-8 exhaust burbling.  There's nothing quite
like the sound made by a 60's Ford V-8.

"Let's drop the top TJ"

He unlatched the top and touched the button as I got the boot cover from
the trunk. Soon we were cruising and causing quite a stir as gawkers honked
and gave the car thumbs up. Dan got a kick out of charging away from the
traffic lights and listening to the roar of the exhaust. The car has been
updated with disc brakes, 3 point seat belts, power steering and new modern
suspension components to allow for modern tires, .

We pulled up in front of the restaurant and as we put up the top a crowd
gathered at the window looking at the car. Once we were seated and had
placed our order we were back to marveling at our luck of finding each
other again. Dan was telling me how he was going to ravage my body when we
got back to the hotel.

"I'm going to fuck that perfect ass of yours TJ"

As he said this a waitress with a coffee pot walked by us and ran into a
table and nearly fell to the floor. She looked back at Dan, her eyes wide
and mouth agape. He looked to her and said...

"We're newly weds, I just can't help it. Look at him, he's a freaking stud
of a man!"

I kicked his shin under the table as the waitress blushed to bright red and
scurried off to the kitchen. As we were leaving I noticed that the waitress
was whispering with another woman and they were looking at us. Dan saw them
too, he smiled at them and said...

"You ladies are checking out his butt aren't you!" they turned and rushed
off.

Once outside we were both laughing but I had to say something...

"Danny! you have always gotten me in to "situations," embarrassing me. You
haven't changed a bit, bold as brass and willing to do just about
anything. You are incorrigible Dan, just bad to the bone!"

"You always did love it when I acted up and I can tell by that grin you're
wearing that you still like it TJ."

We were really back, we were Danny and TJ again. I noticed what I have come
to call my 'Danny feeling', it's just this happy, good times, being with
the greatest guy in the world feeling that I've only ever felt when I was
with him. This felt so good. I haven't been this happy since my kids were
born. Dan looked over and saw the look on my face...

"What's with the silly grin TJ?"

"You, that's what. Just being with you lifts me up, makes me happy and
makes me do this silly grin."

"I know, I call it my TJ feeling." Dan replied.

I looked at him in disbelief...

"You have a TJ feeling? How weird. I call it my Danny feeling, always
have. seems like we kept more secrets than we realized back then."

He started the car and I said...

"Damn...I don't want to go home today, I just want to stay here with you."

"I know TJ, I know...but it's only an hours drive. When we get back to the
hotel, lets check out and you follow me to my place in Bowling Green. That
way you'll know how to get to my place and we can make love again before we
have to be part again. I have a feeling I'll be in Nashville in a day or
two."

"You always have a plan, Danny. That sounds good."

We covered the ninety five miles in about 80 minutes and Dan had me pull my
car into the garage beside his. He was standing waiting for me to get out
of the car and when I did he hugged me into a soul searing kiss. I was
still afraid of waking from a glorious dream. Fifteen years of wishing,
hoping and dreaming of the time we could be together and it is now! There
was just no describing my elation.

Once inside, Dan gave me the tour, kitchen, family room then his
bedroom. The tour ended there as he pulled me to him and gently started
undressing me, I did the same to him and in a moment we stood facing each
other naked. We both reached to hug the other to us at the same time, I was
lost in the delicious feeling of his hairy body against mine.

We lay on the bed lips locked together, bodies writhing to get closer
together. This euphoric high I was experiencing kept getting better and
better. We each took turns exploring the others body with hands, lips and
tongues.

Dan turned me face down on the bed and continued exploring with his hands
and lips. He started at at my neck and shoulders, his furry body lying on
my back made me wiggle beneath him trying to get more of him touching
me. His hands and lips were everywhere as he slowly worked his way down my
body. Raising up on his arms he bent his neck and traced his tongue down my
spine from my neck to the valley where my butt swells into round hard
mounds. He lightly kissed and licked my cheeks as he continued on to the
back of my legs. I felt his hair tickling my backside as he continued
exploring my body with his lips and tongue, he didn't stop until his lips
had kissed all ten of my toes.

My entire body tingled and throbbed; I have never been so aroused in my
entire life. Danny slowly kissed his way back up my body. He stopped and
buried his nose in my crotch inhaling the man scent there. He moved his
face and nuzzled his nose into my testicles, his tongue lapping each one as
my hard cock brushed against his cheek and face. He kissed his way up and
back down the length of my hardness, his tongue flicking out to gather the
pearl of pre-cum at my slit. Finally he lay face to face with me, staring
into my eyes. All of his emotions showed there. I saw his love for me, his
joy that we could be together like this. It all showed in those beautiful
eyes. At last I spoke...

"Danny I want you to make love to me, I want you inside me Dan. Please
 Dan...I'm ready...I've always wanted you to do this...get inside me, make
love to me...I need to see your handsome face as you make love to me. I
need to kiss you, hold you...I need you deep inside me. I want your semen
in me Dan...oh Danny...do it...make me yours...do it now..you know you want
to."

Our orgasms were more than anything either of us had ever known. We were
physically drained of every bit of energy,but emotionally we were fulfilled
as never before. We never knew that sex could feel like what we had just
felt. That was so much more than sex...the emotional orgasm was what made
the earth move for us. The love and emotions of fifteen unfulfilled years
pushed us to feelings that words just could not convey. Looking into his
eyes I knew he felt what I did. It showed there for both of us.

It was after Nine p.m. when I finally left Dan's to drive back to
Nashville. I really didn't want to leave him but I knew we'd be together
again in two days. I was so darned happy to have him back in my life, I
couldn't keep the smile off my face.

After taking the day off on Friday I had a lot of calls to return and by
quitting time I had everything up to date. The phone was ringing as I
unlocked the door at home. I rushed in and answered and it was Callum, my
son calling to say Hi and ask if he could come over. I chuckled and said
sure he could come over, knowing he either wanted a favor or money and most
likely it would be both. I asked to speak with his Mom and he gave the
phone to her.

"TJ how was your trip, was the reunion any fun?" Janey asked.

"Oh Janey, it was the best time, I'm so glad I went."

"I knew it!...you saw Danny didn't you! How did it go, where is he, who did
he marry...?'

"WHOA!!! stop with all the questions...you ought to come over with Cal, by
the way do you know what he wants?"

"Yes I do, Suze and I will come with him. See you in a few?"

"Wait...what does he want..." she hung up laughing.

I wonder what this is all about? I thought.

I rushed to change clothes and was mixing a drink when Cal charged in the
front door.

"Dad?"

"In the kitchen Cal"

My seventeen year old son is nearly six inches taller than me and has grown
into a more good looking, more handsome combination of his Mom and
myself. Seeing the three of us together, it's obvious that he is our
son. He's playing baseball and basketball in high school, his height and
the lean muscled body serves him well in his sports activities.  He's
started dating this year too. He rushed up to me and gave me a bear hug.

"Hiya Pops! Have fun on your trip" he asked as he stuck his head into the
fridge looking for a snack.

"Yeah, I really had a good time. Probably nothing in there to eat, there's
chips in the pantry,"

Cal turned and looked at me and a funny look came over his face.

"What's with the look, Cal?"

"It's you, Pops...something's different about you..."

"I'm your same old Dad, Cal."

"I dunno' there just something different. You look great, I mean better
that usual, maybe happier, I dunno what it is but I like it."

Just then his Mom and Sister came in, Suze jumping into my arms and Janey
kissing my cheek.

"This must be something big for all of you to pile on here. What's up Cal?"

"Dad just don't say no until you hear me out, please. Okay"

I think that I figured out what this is about. Cal wants to use my car for
something, I've always told him no when he wanted to use it and only let
him drive it with me in the car. Aha!...His Prom is coming up! I'll bet
that's what this is about. I looked over to his Mom and she was trying her
best not to laugh out loud.

Beating him to the punch I asked."Son, I was thinking as I drove back from
my trip, isn't your Prom coming up soon?"

I could see him deflate, all the nerve he had worked up to ask to use the
car just went out of him as he said...

"Yes sir."

"Well, I was thinking that maybe I might let you might like to drive my car
for that special night. Do you think you can be responsible enough to drive
it within the limits I've always held you to when we were out together."

Cal was clearly stunned and very excited.

"Jeez, Dad, yes...how did you know that's what I was going to ask? I know
Mom didn't rat on me. But thank you. I promise to take good care of the
Stang. You know that I love that car just as much as you do Dad. Sean and I
were planning to double, is that okay, it'll just be the four of us. I hope
you and Mom know that neither Sean nor I drink or do any sort of drugs. I
know you and Mom worry about that stuff, but really guys, we're smarter
than that.  Besides, we're tested for drugs in Baseball and Basketball at
school.  We're cool kids Dad, really. I promise we'll be home by two
a.m. okay."

"Two A.M.! are you crazy! You'll be home by One a.m.if you ever want to
drive my car again!.  After you buy your own car and you're 18 maybe you
can stay out till 2 am on prom night but not it my car."

I could see his Mom agreed with me.

"Okay, you win...it was worth a try.  Then is it okay to double with Sean
and his date? I'll get her name and phone number for you and Mom, my date
too. Thanks Dad, I promise you wont regret it. I'll take good care of the
car. Wow...I can't believe you agreed before I even asked. I knew you there
was something different about you."

Janey was smiling and told the kids she needed to talk with me and they
went to the TV room. She started for the patio and asked me to follow. When
we got there she turned to me and said...

"Okay TJ, spill it. What happened at the reunion...I see what Cal does,
there's a definite change in you. What's happened."

I couldn't stop the smile spreading across my face. Just before I started
to speak Janie gasped!

"It's Danny isn't it...ohmigod...he's gay too! You two got together at
last...I'm right aren't I, I know it...You and Danny! Oh TJ that's so
wonderful!

I stood there open mouthed. I can't believe the powers this woman possesses
sometimes. It's uncanny how she can sense things. Finally I spoke...

"I guess you know where and what we ate for breakfast too. How do you do
that Janey? Yes you are right on all counts. We spent the last two nights
together and he'll be here one night this week. He lives in Bowling Green,
only an hour away."

She rushed to hug me..."I'm so glad to hear this. I so want you to be happy
TJ; and I know he's the man who can do it for you. This is perfect. When
are you going to tell Cal and Suze, they're going to be as happy as I am
about it."

"I may wait a while with them and see how this goes."

"Okay, I understand but don't worry about them, they will be as excited for
you as I am. And I want to meet him when he comes here."

We went back into the house and Suze had her head in the fridge this
time. She came out with a carton of juice in her hand. I walked up behind
her and hugged her to me.

"Hey baby girl, what's going on with you?"

"Oh Dad! It's you with the big news, when are you going to tell us who has
you so happy now?"

Again, I'm standing there with my mouth hanging open.

"Oh migod...you've inherited your Mom's powers!

I looked to Janey who just shrugged...

"TJ it's nothing special, it just that you men are so
transparent. Everything you do shows on your face."

"CAL...help, they're ganging up on me."

Cal wandered in from the TV room "hey you guys stop picking on Dad, don't
get him in a bad mood!"

"Okay kids here's what's up. Your old man here, met up with his childhood
friend at the reunion over the weekend. His name is Dan, he's my age,
divorced and has a son and daughter the same ages as you two. He's coming
to visit one night this week and we'll all go to dinner, okay."

Both kids hugged me, Cal whispered "good for you Pops, I'm really glad you
found someone who makes you happy again." That choked me up a bit. I've
wondered about Cal; he's always been very accepting of the fact that his
Dad is gay, it has never bothered him, nor his sister either for that
matter, but it's the males that usually have the most problems with
it. Will I be as accepting as Cal is if he comes to me as tells me he is
gay? I sure hope I can be.

I saw that Suze was whispering something to her Mom and Janey flushed a
little. I just looked her in the eye and gave her the raised eyebrow
question.

"Well, I didn't want to spoil your big news but I have some of my
own. Saturday night, Jerry asked me to marry him and I said yes."

I hugged her to me. "Wow, both of us on the same night! That's amazing! You
know how happy I am for you and Jerry. He's a great guy. Have you set the
date yet?"

"No but it will have to be when school is out"

I asked "Why when school is out, Cal and Suze can bunk here and go to
school, that why I live so close by. You don't have to wait that long
because of them. Janey this is all about you and Jerry. Suze, Cal and I
will adjust our schedules so you and Jerry can do whatever you want when
you want. Right guys.

Both of them told her yes. We would all do what we could to help them.

"Janey got a little choked up and thanked us saying she would talk with
Jerry. He's on your side, he wants us to elope right now. Thank you TJ, it
means a lot to me that you and Jerry like each other so well and that we're
still great friends and the parents of these two here. We all are so very
lucky."

"Eeew...enough, we don't want to hear that mushy stuff Mom," Cal
wailed. "When are we gonna eat guys?" he added.

"I'm hungry too Cal, anyone for the cafeteria at the mall in Green Hills,
my treat tonight." I said.

Three voices sounded as one when all said yes. I tossed the keys to
Cal..."Get the Stang out of the garage Cal...very carefully."

Cal already had the top down and booted as Suze and I took the back seat
and Cal and his Mom up front. We all had a great meal and enjoyed each
other immensely. I took a lot of questions from the kids about Dan and when
they would get to meet him. All in all we had a great night together as a
family. As we were leaving the restaurant the kids ran ahead to the car and
Janey held back with me. As we walked she hooked her arm in mine and
said...

"Thanks for tonight. We're very lucky we can be like we are TJ and I love
you for it. We've done a good job with those two out there, they're both
great kids."

"Yeah we're lucky alright and as for those two, it's all their mother's
doing that they turned out so well. She's a great Mom and a great friend
too." Janey just squeezed my arm and laid her head on my shoulder and
smiled up at me.

When I got home after dropping Janey and the kids off at her house, my
phone was ringing as I opened the door. It was Dan and I got the 'Danny
feeling' again just hearing his voice. We both had similar evenings and his
kids had visited with him. The situation with his ex-wife was hostile
though and they rarely talked.  He asked if it would be okay for him to
come down on Wednesday afternoon and of course I readily agreed. I told him
that Janey and the kids all wanted to meet him and We'd all go to dinner if
that was okay with him, he agreed and was eager to meet them. I was wishing
he was here in my bed tonight. We talked for almost an hour before hanging
up.



After our conversation, I got on the internet and Googled Western
Ky. University in Bowling Green. Just curious and a thought had been in my
head since hearing of Janey's engagement. Now that Danny is back in my life
we will live together.  With Janey and Jerry starting a new life together
the last thing they need is the ex-husband just a couple of blocks away.
I'll move to Bowling Green. If I can't get hired at WKU, I'll find work
somewhere there.  Nothing will ever keep Dan and I apart again.

Cal will be off to college in a little over a year and he has no interest
in going to Belmont where I work now, even with the free pass I have for my
children's education.  I spent a couple of nights studying the University
and felt that I had a great chance of getting hired there.  I found that
WKU was wrapping up a three year capital campaign and setting goals and
strategies for their future. A perfect job for my skill set.  I've spent 20
years coaxing Alumni and others to open up their wallets for higher
education.  Fund Raising is my forte, I decided to send a resume off and
see if there was any interest from them. I didn't mention this to Dan or my
family but I did alert my boss that I had sent off the resume and why, only
saying that I had met someone there and was serious about a relationship
with this person.

Finally Wednesday afternoon came around, I left work at 4 p.m. and was
pacing the floor at home when the phone rung. I gave Dan directions and met
him at the end of my street where it met Hillsboro Pike. I was so anxious I
could hardly wait until we were inside the house and then we were all over
each other, hugging, kissing and just holding eachother. Finally I took
Dan's hand and led him on a tour of my house ending in front of my bed. We
grinned at each other and we were both naked in seconds and falling onto
the bed.

Being only our third time together we were still frantic in our love
making. It was urgent and demanding yet satisfying and it calmed two horny
middle aged men down to a slow boil. As we lay there limbs entwined in the
afterglow of fantastic sex I heard the front door slam and Cal was calling
out for me.

"Hey Pops..where are you!"

"Damn, I forgot to lock the door... I'll see what he wants. Get dressed and
come meet my son Dan. This has never happened before. I can't wait to see
how embarrassed he gets when he figures it out."

"Hi Cal, I'm in my bedroom, be out in a sec." I called out as I pulled on a
pair of shorts and a tee shirt.

Cal was coming down the hall as I stepped out of my bedroom.

"Hey Pops, whatcha doing?" Cal asked.

I had to laugh "Just gross old man stuff but thank goodness I was through
when you came

in. What's up with you son.?"

"Just wanting to get out of the house. Suze is over at her friends house
and Jerry's there with Mom and I felt like I was in their way." he said.

I turned him around and we were headed toward the kitchen when the bedroom
door opened behind us and Danny came out. Cal looked back and went white as
a sheet.

"Oh...uh...gee...er Dad...I'm so sorry...I didn't...kn..."

"Cal...it's okay, you didn't interrupt anything. It's my fault, I forgot to
lock the door."

"Dan, come meet my son.  Dan this is my son, Callum, Cal this is Dan
Drennan. Dan and I met in preschool when we were 4 years old and were best
friends until we parted to go to separate colleges. We met again after
fifteen years apart last Saturday at our reunion. Dan lives in Bowling
Green and works for GM at the Corvette plant there."

As they shook hands, Cal seemed both embarrassed and awestruck, not himself
at all. He did manage to engage in polite conversation but when Dan went to
the restroom Cal's questions came at me rapid fire.

"Dad...he's the guy? He's the one your so happy about? Way to go Dad! He's
a stud! A very good looking dude, you know... for an older guy. He looks
like a model you'd see in magazines. Mom's gonna be jealous...Jerry's no
where near as good looking as Dan."

I had to laugh, I had never seen Cal get so flustered at meeting someone
and the bit about his Mom being jealous was too funny. Of course it isn't
everyday you accidently meet your Dad's new boyfriend by barging in on them
as they had just finished having sex.

By the time that Dan returned Cal had recovered sufficiently to start
questioning him about the Corvette plant. While they were talking the phone
rang and it was Janey, checking up on Cal since he just disappeared from
the house. I told her he was talking to Dan which got her started and I had
to convince her to wait until tonight when we all go to dinner before she
meets him. She was coming over right now if I had permitted it.

After Janey's call I hung back and just watched Dan and Cal talking. Cal
was back to being himself and was really into talking with Dan about the
Plant and the Corvette. I saw them both stand and Dan looked back at me...

"We're going out for Cal to look at my car, be right back." he said.

I took the opportunity to rush back to my room and put on some Jeans and a
pull over. Looking in the mirror I saw my unkempt hair and laughed, Cal had
to know we had been having sex my mussed hair and the room reeked of semen.
I grabbed the Febreeze and sprayed down the room.

I was in the kitchen making a pot of coffee when I heard Cal and Dan come
in, Janey and Suze were with them. Janey's carrying a big bowl of tossed
salad and announced that she thought we ought to order in and just stay
here for dinner and get to know Danny. As she made her way to the fridge
with the food she brought she quietly said to me...

"You never told me Danny was such a hunk TJ, I mean like...WOW!"

"He wasn't like that fifteen years ago, I didn't recognize him until I saw
him laugh, his eyes and smile gave him away. He didn't know me either,
we're both a lot different than we were in High School. But I do agree with
you...WOW!"

I started to introduce them but Janey said..."We did that outside TJ while
Cal was drooling over the Corvette."

I noticed that Danny was now talking with Suze and evidently getting along
fine as she was smiling and laughing with him. Thinking about dinner I
called in a takeout order at Ireland's for steak and biscuits with fries.

I called Cal over and asked him to go down to Ireland's and pick up our
take out order, he readily agreed at the chance to drive my car. I asked
him to take his sister with him and he made a face then smiled and said
sure. They really got along well for their ages.

With just Dan, Janey and myself there now Janey started her questions for
Danny, asking everything she could think of from his ex-wife, the kids, his
job and finally his feelings for me. I started to protest but he stopped
me.

"It's okay TJ, I love being able to talking about you and there's no one at
home for me to talk about you with."

In the end he had convinced her that he was the one and only man for me and
she ended up hugging and kissing him on the cheek, giving her official
approval of him. She went to the powder room and Dan came to me and wrapped
me in his arms and kissed me long and deeply. We broke the kiss and I lay
my head on his chest just enjoying being held by him when Janey
reappeared. I looked up, embarrassed, it has never been my intention to
flaunt or let others see me show any overt affection to a man. I know I was
blushing, I could feel the heat in my face.

She was surprised, I saw that in her face, but she shook it off and smiled
at us..."You two sure make a good looking couple. I'm really glad you found
each other." She said."

Danny held out one arm, inviting her into a 3-way hug, she joined and
hugged us both then we broke away. It was just a moment but it meant the
world to me to have her acceptance of Dan and I as a couple.

During dinner Jerry called Janey on her cell and she got him to join us and
we all had a good time laughing, talking and just enjoying each other's
company. Later after everyone was gone and Dan and I were on the sofa, my
back against his chest, his arm around me and he said..

"I am completely blown away by the way your family has welcomed me into
their lives. It truly warms my heart TJ. I only wish that you would get the
same treatment from my family but I know that it isn't going to happen. My
kids have just begun speaking to me again.

I've found out that Mary Ann, my ex, has been telling the kids awful things
about me that were just plain lies.  She told them that I was cheating on
her with both men and women, that I wasn't sending her money for their
support. We had it out on the phone one night and I told her that I would
set the kids straight about her lies and show them the canceled checks I
sent that she cashed each and every month. I think it scared her because
she apologized to the kids and and told them that she told those lies just
to get back at me."

'Uh oh...it's already after nine, I need to be heading back I have meetings
at eight in the morning, I don't want to leave but I have to. Are you
coming up this weekend? Dan asked.

"Oh yes, I'll be there Friday evening. It's just two days but it's so long
to wait to be with you."

Reluctantly we got up from the sofa and Danny collected his things and
after some serious making out I was standing on my porch waving goodbye.

Late Thursday afternoon I had a phone message to call the President's
Office at WKU. I told our assistant that I'd be on a private phone call and
closed my office door. I called the number and was told that President
Ransdell was on the phone and would call me back. I gave my cell number in
addition to the office number. In about five minutes the call back came,
but it was President Ransdell's assistant on the line asking when I could
come for an interview. I told her that I was planning to be there over the
weekend and I could stay over and be available on Monday. She asked me to
hold a moment and was soon back on the line asking if one p.m. would be a
good time for me and I agreed that it would.

When I got home that night I read everything I could find about the school
and the current capitalization campaign. At work on Friday I told my boss
that I had the interview and he said he had talked with President Ransdell
and he wished me well but hoped that I would change my mind. I had the car
packed and left from work at 4:00 Friday afternoon and was waiting in the
driveway when Dan got home. We both drove into the garage and when the door
closed we were locked in a kiss. As Dan led me to his bedroom I wondered
how two middle aged guys like us could stay so horny. Danny soon had my
mind on more urgent things and we made love again, this time was slower
less frantic, more about giving and receiving pleasure that the need to
ejaculate.As we lay entwined I heard and felt Danny long contented sigh. I
looked up at him...

"I know babe, trust me I'm working on it"

"What are you talking about TJ?"

"Well, it was that long sigh you just gave. You were thinking how we should
be like this always and not be apart, right?"

"Some of Janey's powers have been transferred to you I guess. Yes that's
exactly what I was thinking."

"Dan I need to tell you something. When I got home after the reunion
weekend I looked up WKU on the internet. I liked what I saw and sent off a
resume."

"No! You really did that TJ?"

"Yes and there's more. I have an interview with President Ransdell at one
p.m. on Monday. But before I go I need to know if it's alright with you. I
want us to be together and with Janey remarrying it's the perfect time for
me to make a move. Cal will be in college after next year and If I get the
job he'll be here at WKU, then Suze two years after. As an employee my kids
will have free tuition."

"Oh migod, TJ, what great news! Of course I want you here. We can stay here
or get another place. It doesn't matter where we live as long as we're
together."

"Tomorrow I want you to drive me over to the campus and I'll explore some
and take some pictures. I don't think it will be too hard to get Cal
excited about coming here to school. Janey may not like it but she'll have
Suze and Jerry to keep her mind occupied."

We got up and took a long leisurely shower, each still fascinated by the
feel of the others naked body. After the shower I looked in the fridge for
something to fix for our dinner and found little that would make a good
meal so we headed out to the market to find our dinner. As we were going in
Danny said to me...

"Okay TJ, this place is off limits unless I'm with you."

"Why Danny, it's just a grocery market."

"Ah...how little you know. This is the best pick up place in the whole
town. I've been cruised and propositioned more here than anywhere I've ever
been, by both men and women and it doesn't seem to matter if they're
married or not."

"Well if it's off limits to me, then it is to you too!. We'll only come
here together, okay."

As we shopped I saw what Danny meant. Women and men were openly flirting
with us. I was reading the nutrition info on a label, Dan was only a few
feet away when a guy walked up and was trying to start a conversation. Just
as I started to tell him I was taken Dan walked up and said...

" Hello Charles, I see you've met my partner. TJ this is Charles Moore, a
Professor at WKU, Charles this is Thomas Clarke. TJ to friends, he and I
have been friends since we were four years old. We were reunited last week.

Charles coolly offered his congratulations and turned and walked away. TJ
and I both laughed and I told him that we haven't seen the last of Charles,
he is very persistent.

"I've turned him down countless times and most of them right here in this
market. He's always here. I bet he has the best stocked pantry in town. Oh
my...he'll be after you all the time if you go to work at WKU!"

We finished our shopping and went home to cook dinner. In a little less
than an hour we sat down to a dinner of Chicken Piccata with Fettuccine,
steamed vegetables and Moscato wine. Danny was very impressed with my
culinary skills. After dinner and the clean up we spent a leisurely night,
watched a little TV, made out like teen agers, and when we got to bed the
fireworks started. Our lovemaking was slow and sensual this time. Taking
foreplay to new levels for me, my entire body was buzzing by the time Dan
put his cock into me.

The emotional part of our lovemaking is so intense that I have trouble
understanding why since I had never experienced such intense feelings ever
before. I finally just accepted that it was just another 'Danny feeling'
since it has only happened this past week. It was there that first night
but I just attributed it to the years of pent up lust we had for each
other. That overshadowed everything that night.

"I want to try something different tonight Danny, I want to sit on your big
cock. I want to ride it with you on your back and me sitting on that big
boner of yours. I never dreamed that I would like being fucked so much, but
when you get that cock inside me it short circuits my brain. It's all I can
think about...getting in all in me...getting you in me. We're like one
person then, joined together in the most perfect love I have ever known."

"Yes TJ, I know. this past week has shown me how perfect our love can
be. Who knew we would ever have such feelings. Who knew intercourse could
be so awesome? You do know that soon I'm going to want you inside of me. I
want to feel the way you do when your eyes roll back and the pleasure comes
over you. I feel fantastic when we cum but I get jealous seeing how you get
lost in that pleasure when my cock is grinding into you." I need that too."

I can't put words to the feeling that I was experiencing in my
ass. Wonderful gets it started but that isn't enough. I had to cum, this
feeling in my ass demanded it. I took my cock in hand and furiously
masturbated in time with his cock pistoning in me. Now the feelings in my
ass were spreading to my cock and balls too. This was too much...too
good...the tingle started deep in my balls and I felt it rise, pushed by
the semen rushing up and out of my hard as stone cock. Dan was gasping for
breath as he joined me in reaching our orgasms together.

We lay still holding each other, trying to fill our lungs with enough air
that breathing would once again be an unconscious act. Slowly our heart
rates and breathing eased to where we were comfortable just lying there
completely spent, wrapped together by arms and legs entwined in awe that we
could create such earthmoving sexual feelings. Was it possible to get
better each time? Could two old guys like us survive this intense orgasmic
pleasure that left us breathless and spent. Ummmm. I guess all we can do is
to keep testing these limits to find the answer. But oh man, what a way to
go!

For once we slept through until morning. Too spent to wake and have another
session before morning came. Waking with Dan spooned to my back, one arm
cradling me to his chest was the most wonderful feeling. His naked body
pressed to mine, fitting against him like I was made to be there, gave me
the most contented feeling I have ever experienced. This is where I belong,
with this man. Danny stirred in his sleep and stretched his body. I turned
in his arm and faced him, nestling my face in the crook of his neck and
shoulder, one leg was over his and my knee resting on his hip, my lips
kissing against his neck. We woke at eight fifteen. Dan went to make coffee
while I ducked into the shower.

When I came into the kitchen Dan went to take his shower, kissing me good
morning as he passed. I got a skillet, eggs and cream, I diced a Roma
tomato, green onions and some green chillies and whipped up a spicy
omelette with toast and set his plate at the table just as Danny returned
from his shower. We sat and ate, our bare feet touching and rubbing under
the table, and for the first time it felt like we were really together as
partners.

"This is a great way to start the day TJ. This just feels so natural, like
we've always done this. I don't ever remember feeling so satisfied or maybe
it's contentment. I love being with you. You're cooking skills amaze me. I
didn't have a clue that a breakfast like this was in the fridge. You sir,
are a very good cook. Just another reason that I have to keep you with me I
guess. Are you ready to get dressed and drive over to the campus?"

"Sure thing, Danny let me rinse these dishes and get them in the
dishwasher."

"Whoa TJ. If you cook I'll clean up, okay...it's only fair. Go get your
little butt into those sexy 501's of yours while I load up the washer."

I had my back turned to the doorway as Dan came into the bedroom. I was
buttoning up a white button down dress shirt. I had on the 501's, the
shirt, no belt, no socks and cordovan Weejuns. I heard a groan from Dan and
I turned my head looking over my shoulder.

"What is it babe?"

"Oh Fuck! YOU! You're body is the reason they made those jeans. You are so
damn hot I'll have to beat of the guys and gals off that are gonna be after
you. Holy fuck you're so sexy. Look at the woody you've given me already
babe!

I'm not sure if WKU is ready for a staff member looking like this and
driving that car of yours. You're sure gonna draw a crowd today I bet. Turn
around TJ, let me see it all."I turned and smiled at him. "This looks okay
then babe?"

"Aww shit, you're killing me here TJ. That package in front and that butt
in back will be the end of me. No one will ever believe you are 38 years
old in that outfit. I'm going to need something to hide the hard on I'll
have all fucking day with you looking so fine."

Dan wore chinos with a red Polo pullover that gave me a woodie just looking
at him. Red looked good on him with his rich dark brown hair.The pants were
just tight enough to accentuate his assets and I glanced at the two of us
in the mirror and smiled and winked at him in the mirror.

"We both look years younger Danny. Must be all this protein we've been
swallowing"

I stopped Dan as he opened the door to the garage and kissed him long and
hard.

"There now, don't you forget, you belong with me Dan Drennan, now and
forever."

He smiled and hugged me..

"Yeah...I surely do belong with you, always have." he whispered in my ear.

I popped the trunk open and gave Dan the keys to the Stang. I pulled the
boot cover out and closed the trunk lid as Dan unlatched the top and
lowered it. I put the boot cover on, got in the car, put on my Ray-Bans and
we roared out of the garage and down the street. Dan waved as several of
his startled neighbors looked up when they heard the rumble of that 302 CID
V-8.

As we drove to the WKU campus we were getting thumbs up from just about
every guy we saw and women were blatantly flirting with us. Once we were on
campus and traveling at a slower speed, students would wave and yell out as
we passed by. When we stopped to look at one of the ball fields, a crowd of
male students gathered gawking at the Mustang and asking questions right
and left. I noticed a couple of these young guys who were checking out Dan
and I instead of the car. Dan must have noticed them too because he stood
closer to me, our sides almost touching. He put an arm across my shoulders
once and leaned into me, making sure that those interested knew that we
were together.

As we moved on to other parts of the campus we were besieged by guys
interested in the car every time we parked it to explore. With my gift for
gab, I was chatting with them like we had all known each other for some
time. One even asked when we would graduate. I could see the wheels turning
in his mind, doing the math when I told him that it had been nearly sixteen
years since we graduated from college. His mouth gaped open in surprise
when he had totaled up our ages.

As the morning wore on I learned the location of the Administration
building and where I should park and had a general idea of how the campus
was laid out. I would study it more tonight and tomorrow. We left campus
about eleven o'clock and Dan drove me out to the Corvette plant and back to
the market for more groceries and then home. Hmmm... his house was already
home.After putting the food away I explored the house some, the blinds in
the TV room were always closed and when I opened the door to the back yard
I was taken by surprise. There was a large patio area and then a nice sized
swimming pool surrounded by a very nicely landscaped and fenced in yard. I
had left the door open in my surprise and I heard Danny coming out.

"Dan! I never knew this was here. I Can hardly wait to jump in that pool
and once my kids see it they be wanting to move in. It's so beautiful out
here Danny."

"Yeah, I've spent a lot of hours out here. This was my release after the
divorce. All that was here was the pool and patio. I've done all the
landscaping, added the garden beds and the fence in the five years since my
divorce. It may suffer now though, all my energy is spent in the bedroom
since we've been together. But what the hell, we can always hire a
gardener!"

I sat down and Danny pulled up a chair to sit close beside me and took my
hand. We sat there quietly, neither talking, just enjoying the yard, the
weather and each other and holding hands to be physically connected. It was
a need we had, after being apart for so long and now intimately involved
yet not together full the time, we just had to be touching each
other. Maybe it was our way to insure this was real, not a dream, like so
many times before, that we are really finally together. It was already past
mid afternoon and I asked Dan what time he normally ate since I was
planning a very nice meal for us. He settled on eight for weekends and
seven during the week. He began asking what we were having for dinner and
each time I told him it would be a surprise.

Not much has changed as yet with our sex life. Mostly there's still a
frantic urgency to our love making, a desperate need for the other that
only time will ease; born no doubt from the endless years of yearning for
each other. One interesting development is that we both have developed a
preference for being the bottom for the other, sexually. Just a minor thing
and not a problem as each of us just wants to give great pleasure to the
other.

Danny leaned to me and kissed my neck just below my ear sending a shiver
through my body. Looking into my eyes as a sly smile spread across his
handsome face, he rose pulling me up with our clasped hands and without a
word between us led me to his bed. At first we lay there fully clothed,
cuddling and kissing but as we knew it would, our passion took control and
we were naked and writhing together in a matter of a few seconds.

Dan started his kisses on my stomach, his tongue tracing my slightly
defined six pack abdominal muscles there. Moving quickly he buried his face
in my groin, filling his lungs with my scent, lapping at the places where
legs joined the groin and sending me into spasms of pleasure as his mouth
and tongue devoured my crotch. One hand grabbed my testicles, pulling down
hard, the other hand grasped my rigid cock at the base and sucked it into
the depths of his throat. Loud moans came from me, his rough hold of my
testicles, stretching and pulling , hurt so good. The strange and erotic
mix of pleasure and pain to that most sensitive and defining part of the
male anatomy somehow adds to the act of man to man sex. His throat muscles
worked furiously at massaging my cock inside him and had me thrashing about
on the bed, calling out to him, urging him to make love to me.

Danny was different this time, he was insistent, he would have me as he
wanted to have me. I had no say in what he was doing . My job was to lie
there and let him have his way, which I did gladly, I also enjoyed it
beyond reason. I loved the way he just took me. It seemed like only seconds
from the time he sank my cock into his mouth until I was spraying his
gullet with my semen. I came hard and long, filling him with my seed. I
pulled him up in to my arms and held him tightly to me. It was raw, sensual
and very erotic. There just weren't any words for us, to say, we knew, it
was in every look and action we made.

It was still daylight when I woke and started loving on Danny's wonderful
body. Sucking and biting lightly at his nipples while pulling and
stretching his testicles with one hand. Dan stretched his body and moaned
as he felt the pressure as I pulled hard on his sac. His cock was standing
tall, seeing it hard and erect made me want to sit on it again and grind it
hard in me. But no, this was for Danny, it was as much for me as it was for
him although I craved his sex. He was my drug, my addiction. I need his
semen in my body.

Turning to the 69 position so I could get all of his long thick cock in me,
I sucked on the corona drawing all the pre-cum from it I could. I sucked
his length deep into my throat, my muscles massaging his length making him
moan and writhe. He began calling my name as his body tensed and his hips
arched up to drive his cock deeper into me. In his rapture he even called
me Tommy, he hasn't done that since the second grade, I was sure he didn't
even knew he said it and somehow that warmed my heart. Slowly his orgasm
subsided, and again we lay wrapped together and silent. We were complete,
everything as it should be.

How fast we become addicted to the pleasures of the flesh. The smell and
feel of Danny's skin against mine was now a physical need. I had to have
him. The days spent without him since our reunion weekend have been the
longest I can remember. We've had the miracle of reuniting and now we only
need one more, the job at WKU or any job, to put us together as we need to
be. If it's not that job, then it will be another. We will be together,
that part is certain. The only questions are when and how.

I was in the shower when Dan woke, he joined me there and we washed each
other, kissed, rubbed, clung to each other and generally put every inch of
our bodies into contact with some part of the others body. Finished, we
dried each other and I went to the kitchen and told him to stay out of it
until I told him he could come in.

After about 45 minutes I had our dinner ready, the dining table set, the
wine cooling in a bucket beside the table and I called him to come and
eat. I set his plate in front of him and he broke into a great
smile. Dinner was Filet Mignon with Lobster tails and drawn butter, a baked
potato and a small salad with almond croissants. It was delicious and sated
our appetites after our strenuous sexual workout. Dan cleaned up the dishes
and I went to change into shorts and a tee shirt. We would lie together on
the sofa as we watched the Saturday Night Movie.

About two a.m. I woke and we were still on the sofa. I stood and pulled a
very tired as sleepy Dan to his feet and guided him to our bed. All tucked
in and Danny spooned to my back we were sleeping in a matter of
minutes. This time we didn't wake until 7:30 a.m. I slipped from Danny's
hold on me and went to the kitchen and made coffee, Danny stumbled in as
the coffee was finishing up. He walked straight to me at the sink and put
his arms around me and kissed my neck again.

"Here you are...I woke without you in bed and my first thought was it was
all a dream, then I smelled the coffee and knew you were here. It scared me
TJ, thinking it was all a dream again."

"I'm sorry babe, you were sleeping so peacefully I didn't have the heart to
wake you. By the way, you were a tiger in bed last night. I loved it, you
just took me. Do you remember calling my name, you called me Tommy in the
throes of your orgasm. You haven't called me that since we were in the
second grade babe. I liked it though. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy
when it came to me after we had finished."

Dan went to retrieve the Sunday paper from the driveway and we settled at
the table with our coffee and the paper, under the table our feet and legs
were entwined maintaining the needed physical contact. After a few minutes
we took the paper and our coffee to our bed, we lay together each reading
and sipping our coffee and our bodies touching somewhere. We spent hours
there, dozing off, waking and kissing, just being together, taking comfort
in knowing that our soul mate was beside us. There was nowhere we would
rather be nor no one we would rather be with.

I spent a good deal of the afternoon on the internet learning about WKU and
it's Alumni. Callum called in the afternoon just to say hi and check on his
Dad. Cal liked having everything in its place and everyone where they
should be. He fretted a bit because his old man wouldn't stay put these
past ten days or so. I suspected too, that Cal was a little bit
uncomfortable with Jerry being in the house so often. He never stayed the
night, Janie would not do that with Cal and Suze in the house and had
insisted that I not do it either.

I knew that a serious talk with both my children needed to happen
soon. Perhaps after I returned on Monday night. They need to know and
understand that the relationship with Dan and I was just as permanent and
as committed as Janie and Jerry's marriage would be. Dan and I just didn't
have the option of marriage.

Around four p.m. we got in the car and I drove to the WKU campus and back
home, learning the route. On the way back to the house Dan's cell rang and
it was Connor, his son. I smiled to myself, Dan was doing a lot of
listening and I suspected that he might be getting the call about borrowing
the car. He ended the call by asking Cal to come on over and they would
talk. Dan looked over to me and shook his head and I laughed.

"He wants the Corvette for prom I'll bet." I said.

"TJ! how do you do that? that's scary...how did you know?

"Relax Danny it comes from living with teens. No special powers here...I
got the same call last week from Cal about my car. His Mom's SUV just
doesn't excite him like this car does."

We were in the TV room when Connor knocked and came into the kitchen. Dan
called out.

"We're in the TV room Connor."

He seemed a bit surprised when he saw me. Dan and I stood as he introduced
me to his Son. Connor was 6'1 or so and a handsome young man, he had his
Dad's smile and twinkle in his eyes. Dan reminded Connor that he had talked
about me a lot over the years and Connor remembered he had. Dan related our
meeting at the reunion and that I might be moving here to work at WKU soon.

I learned that Connor played Football and Baseball in High School and was
working hard to improve and hone his skills in the hopes of a sports
scholarship. I told him about Cal and his sister. Connor was almost a month
older than Callum. I excused myself to let them talk and went to the
kitchen and started thinking about our dinner. I stuck my head in the
doorway of the TV room.

"Excuse me guys...Connor you want to stay and eat with us?  We're having
baked chicken and veggies."

He smiled and looked to his Dad not sure if he should stay or not.

"Aw c'mon Connor, you know you're hungry. It'll give us a chance to get to
know each other more." I said.

Dan spoke up. "It would really be nice to have you eat with us Son. I
really miss being with you."

Connor beamed a killer smile. "Sure I'd love to stay. I just need to let
Mom know."

Connor stepped out on the patio and called his Mom. Dan came to the kitchen
and hugged me.

"Thanks for that, I miss being around them so much." Dan said as he sat
down at the island."Is it okay if I watch you do your magic in here?"

Just then Connor came in and sat by his Dad.

"Who's doing magic Dad?" Connor asked.

"It's TJ, Son, he's a great cook... we had Steak and Lobster tails last
night."

Dan rose and walked to the door leading into the garage...

"Connor..come look at TJ's car."

They stepped into the garage and I heard ...

"Oh Wow! That's so cool Dad...how old is this car?"

"it's a 1967 Model son. That was forty seven years ago."

I opened the door to the garage and said..

"Connor, come here a sec..."

As he walked up I handed him the car keys...

"You and your Dad take it for a drive...It just looks old, all the parts
and pieces are new, it's called a Resto Mod. You guys have fun and make him
let you drive it too Connor. He really likes it."

"Gee...Thanks Mr. Clarke"

"Hey...none of that ...please call me TJ. Mr. Clarke is my Pop."

"yes Sir and thank you again...I won't let Dad hot rod it too much."

"Good for you. He needs someone to watch him. Have fun."

As I closed the Door and heard him shout.

"Dad! he gave me the keys and said we should take a ride. He's really cool,
I like him already."

I wondered when Connor would get it. All I was doing was getting him to be
with his Dad one on one for a while. I know Danny understood what I had
done. Gay man or straight man, a father loves his children and spending
time with them is the greatest gift divorced Dads can ever get. It seemed
to me that Connor was making an effort. He had called his Dad. Granted he
wanted something but then don't all teens want something when they call or
voluntarily visit the parents.

I busied myself in the kitchen getting the chicken in the oven, making a
lemon vinegarette for the salad and making a fresh veggie stir fry. I put
croissants in the warming oven, made iced tea mainly for Connor and the
house was smelling good when Connor and Dan returned. Connor came in raving
about the Stang and asked a zillion questions about the rebuild, who did
it, how did I like it and would I ever sell it. He went on and on until Dan
stopped him. I did tell him that I couldn't sell it and live to tell about
it. "

My son Callum, would murder me in my sleep. He's laid claim to that car and
can hardly wait for me to get too old to drive."

Connor went to wash up before dinner and Danny wrapped me in a bear hug...

"You are something else TJ. Thank you. This is the most time I've spent
alone with Connor since he was a little kid. He's coming around too. We had
a good talk and he asked about you, if you were my date. I told him yes you
were but that we were a lot closer to married than we were to dating. He
seemed to accept it well. He really likes you too."

"That car is a lot more than just a ride, Danny. It brought me and my son
closer too." I told him.

Danny you can never breathe a word of this to anyone. When Cal graduates
college, the Stang is his graduation present. He has no idea. I have the
shop that did my car looking for another one for me to be ready
then. They're going to freshen up the Stang too before he gets it.

Connor returned and his Dad went to clean up next. Connor sat at the island
and told me that he and his Dad really had a good time and he thanked
me. When I asked him why he was thanking me he said.

"Uh..Mr. C..I mean TJ, things were really bad after my folks divorced. My
Mom lied to Malin and me about Dad, trying to make us hate him. It hurt
like hell when they split, I know that My Dad is a good man and I had a
hard time accepting the things my Mom told us. Like all lies it eventually
caught up to her and she had to tell us the truth before Dad did. For a
while it was like we didn't have parents at all. Dad always called and
finally Malin and I started talking to him on the phone and now we're
working our way back into his life. This afternoon with my Dad is the best
time I've had with him in ages. You're giving me my Dad back. That's why I
thank you. You're super in my book TJ. Thanks."

Just as he finished Danny came back and we all moved to the table and dug
into our dinner. Like all growing boys Connor ate enough for three men, Dan
and I sat and watched him eat half a chicken. Dan and Connor did the clean
up quickly and we went to the TV room. Dan and Connor talked for over an
hour about everything from school to sports then to girls. Connor did fine
until the girls were brought up then he started blushing like crazy.

I sat there listening and decided I ought to give Cal a call, listening to
Dan and Connor made me miss him. I excused myself and went out on the patio
to place the call. Cal thought something was wrong immediately but I
convinced him that Dan and Connor had just made me miss him and I just
wanted to hear his voice. We talked for a few minutes about nothing in
particular. Before we hung up he said...

"This was cool Dad, more like we're best buds than father and son.  You can
call me like this anytime. I miss you too. Are you going to move to Bowling
Green to be with Dan?"

"Whoa..where did that come from Cal?"

"Suze thinks you will move there to be with him."

"Cal I have thought about it and I'll know more soon. But regardless all
that would change IF I should move here would be the time it takes us to
get together as a family. Everything else stays the same. I think you will
like Dan's Son Connor, he plays Football and Baseball , he's a month older
than you and a lot bigger too"

We rattled on for a while then we hung up. I smiled to myself. That's a
great kid I have there I thought as I went back into the house. In a few
minutes Connor's Mom called him giving him a hard time, not believing he
was still here. He asked her to hold a sec and handed the phone to Dan.

"Dad please tell her I am here and have been the whole time. She thinks I'm
lying to her."

Dan took the phone..."Hey Mary Ann, It's Dan...Connor is here, he has been
for over three hours now. You should apologize to him, he wasn't lying to
you...Whoa...just stop it..Now! You do as you please but you will drive
your children away from you acting like this. I'm hanging up now, goodbye!"

"Sorry you had to hear that TJ...and Connor, I'm sorry you have to put up
with her ravings, she's lied about me so much to you and your sister she
thinks everyone lies, I'm afraid she has transferred her anger to you
Son. You and your sister can come here any time you feel the need. You tell
Malin that tonight . I'll call her tomorrow after your Mom has calmed
down."

Dan looked to me and I nodded my agreement.

"Yes Connor, we mean it. Anytime you feel the need or just want to hang out
feel free to come over. Call first if you can, but come on over even if you
can't call."

Connor stood and said he did have homework to do so he should go home. I
held out my hand to shake with him and he took it but pulled me into a hug
too. He whispered to me ..

"Thanks for being with my Dad, you're good for him. I'm glad you're with
him."

Dan walked him to his car and I tried to compose myself. What Connor said
when he hugged me to him choked me up and tears filled my eyes. In our
first meeting Connor had approved of me being with his Dad. That was a gift
from above to me. I hope he told his Dad too.

Danny came back into the house and he didn't say a word. He just walked
straight up to me and hugged me to him hard. I felt him trembling against
me.

"Are you okay Danny?" I asked.

He just nodded his head and held me tight and I hugged him back just as
tightly. Finally his hold loosened and he pushed back, tears streaking his
cheeks.

"Connor just told me that he really likes you and he's glad you're here
with me. He told me that he could see that I was happy with you and I
deserved it after these past five years of misery. He thinks we're good for
each other and belong together."

I wiped my teary eyes..

"He told me too when he hugged me."

"Thanks to you TJ, I've been closer to my Son today than I have in the past
five years. He and I had a great talk while we were out in the
Stang. Thanks for that too. I know you did it just to get us away and alone
together. I love you babe."

We settled down after the emotion of Connor's visit and him telling us he
approved our new relationship and that he knew we belonged together. Dan
found a movie and I pulled out my laptop and studied WKU some more.

"Oh Danny...I almost forgot. when I went out on the patio and called Cal he
asked me if I was going to move here. His sister has decided that I will
move here to be with you. I told him that I have thought about it and that
I would know more soon but that if I did the only thing that would change
would be the time it took us to get together, that nothing else would
change. I guess that the kids are more tuned in toward us parents that we
thought. At first he thought something was wrong for me to call him from
here. I told him about meeting Conner and how it made me miss him. When we
ended the call he said it was cool to talk with me like that and that I
could chat with him anytime."

Danny returned to his movie and I decided to go to bed. I took the laptop
with me and told Dan to finish his movie, I'd be on the laptop anyway. When
the movie was over Dan came to the bedroom and found me asleep on top of
the covers in just my boxers and with the laptop on beside me. I woke when
he moved the laptop aside and pulled him onto the bed with me. We were both
tired and Dan got up to take off his clothes and got right back in bed with
me. He spooned to my back and held me close. I turned and kissed him
goodnight.

"I love you Danny, each day you fill up my life a little more. Today, being
accepted by Connor made me feel so good. He's a great young man Danny, you
did alright with him."

"I love you too babe. I know what you mean about filling up my life
everyday. I never knew how miserable I was until we met again at the
reunion. We need to get to sleep babe, I've got work and you've got to
dazzle Ransdell tomorrow. Call me or text me when your out, okay?"

"Night babe...yeah you'll be my first call after the interview."

We drifted off to la la land, both of us needing the rest, all the
strenuous sexual activity and lack of sleep time had finally caught up to
our thirty eight year old bodies. We slept almost nine hours.

I was up at seven making Dan's breakfast, he came into the kitchen suited
up with the very corporate General Motors look about him. He took his suit
coat off, to eat and I put a bib around his neck covering his over his
starched white dress shirt and handsome tie. His fly stayed flat despite
covering what I knew to be 'impressively big equipment' but today that was
a good thing. No one else need know how well my Danny is endowed. He ate
his breakfast of fruit, hot cereal with toast and black coffee and was out
the door at 7:20 a.m. I sat at the island counter finishing my coffee and
thinking how lucky I am to have that handsome man in my life again.

My morning flew by and suddenly I was dressed and out the door at 12:10 on
my way to my interview at one p.m. I walked up to President Ransdell's
secretary at 12:55 p.m. and she told him I was here. Almost immediately his
door opened and he approached with a smile and an his hand extended. We
shook hands and he ushered me into his office and we sat on the sofa
together.

He and President Fisher, my current employer, are long time friends, he
said that they had talked several times this past week concerning me. He
also told me that I was highly recommended. His questions began with asking
me what I knew of the WKU and that was a perfect opening for me. I started
talking and rattled on for more than fifteen minutes talking about his
school, the Capital Campaign and ideas I had for an ongoing contribution
plan for Alumni contributions. He was impressed and said he had never
interviewed anyone any better prepared.

When he asked why I wanted to be here in Bowling Green at WKU. I told him
that I had recently entered into a serious and committed relationship with
an old childhood friend and school mate. I knew that living an hour away
would not conducive to a successful, lasting relationship and that I truly
wanted this to work out.

"Very commendable Thomas. May I ask what her name is?"

I smiled. "Of course Sir, his name is Daniel."

He laughed lightly "Sorry for the assumption, it makes no difference here
at all. We have several same sex couples among our Faculty and Staff. What
does your partner do here.?"

"Daniel is an executive with the General Motors Plant here sir."I noticed a
change in President Ransdell when I said Dan was an executive with general
Motors.  There was a definite excitement about him.

"Splendid, you two will fit in well here. Daniel will be invited and
expected at all of our Faculty and Staff social functions throughout the
year."

"Thank you sir, that is very comforting to know."

"Now Thomas, I would like to offer you a position with my personal
staff. Your duties will be almost identical to what you have done at
Belmont over the years, Your title will be Executive Assistant to the
President."

He handed me a folded piece of paper. This is the annual salary that we are
offering you with this new position. I know your present compensation and
benefits package and ours will be the same except for the amount of salary
written on this piece of paper..

I took the paper but did not open it until he had finished speaking. When I
opened it I saw one single dollar amount written down. It read:
$114,000.00.

I was stunned, that figure was exactly twice my current salary. I looked up
at him and started to speak when he said.

"I am aware that we are doubling your salary Thomas. Ours is a much larger
University than Belmont, and you will be dealing with a great deal more
people here than you were in Nashville. That figure is at the top of your
bracket. If you need more you will have to go out and get it donated to the
school. Needless to say your references and your body of work are
impressive and should you decide to accept this offer we will be extremely
pleased to have you on board as a member of our staff."

"Thank you sir and yes, I accept your offer. When may I start my new
duties?"

"Ah, splendid! A month from now would be about right. That will give you
Two weeks notice for my friend and two weeks to get moved and settled
in. Starting you off in the summer semester will ease you into your routine
without the distractions of the hectic fall enrollment period. Will that do
for you.?"

"Yes sir, you are very generous and I am very happy to be working with this
growing, thriving University. We have a lot of untapped potential here in
my opinion. I will be eager to begin meeting new people. Thank you again
sir. I can promise that you will never regret hiring me."

The President rose and I stood and shook his hand again. He led me to his
assistant's work station and had her give me all the forms and information
for new hires. Telling me to bring the completed forms in the day I start
working here. We said our goodbyes and I told him that I am excited and
eager for this new opportunity.

I'm not sure if my feet touched the pavement as I went to my car. I dug my
phone out of the console and dialed Danny. He was in a meeting and I left a
three word message for him: I got it! I got back to Dan's at 2:15 p.m and
Dan had not returned my call as yet. At three p,m. I heard the door open
and he came rushing in, he grabbed me, lifted me off the floor and swung us
around a couple of times.

"Congratulations TJ, you got the job!

Setting me down he sat at the island.

"Tell me everything TJ. I can hardly believe it. WE'RE TRULY TOGETHER
NOW!!!"

"Well Dan, obviously I blew them away with my excellent skills and magnetic
personality! One month from today I will become the Executive Assistant to
the President of Western Kentucky University. Oh and by the way, to be sure
that I would accept they doubled my current salary. I'll be giving two
weeks notice at work and will have two weeks to move.

We'll need to go to Nashville together and go through my place and see what
we want to bring here. There are some things I want to bring like art work,
a couple of sentimental pieces of furniture. With the real estate marked
depressed I will keep the house and get an management agent to rent it out
and take care of all the landlord headaches."

"Oh TJ this is so wonderful. Tonight we're going to the best place in town
for dinner. All I have to say is I'm with GM and I can get a good table
anywhere on a moment's notice"

"But Danny, I have to go back tonight, remember. A restaurant is not where
I want to spend the last hours of this visit with you. We'll order in a
pizza and get naked, okay"

"I forgot you had to go back but we'll do the dinner this weekend either
here or at your place. Can you believe the events since we went to that
reunion. Oh Tommy I love you so!"

He did it again...he called me Tommy...I like it...he just does it when
he's really excited. Oh wow, we really are going to live together
now. Danny and TJ at last.

" Dan, when President Ransdell asked about my partner he said "May I ask
her name?"

I replied "Yes sir, his name is Daniel.  He went into a speech about there
being several same sex couples among the faculty and staff and when he
asked where you worked and I said GM he absolutely glowed. He said you were
invited with me to any and all faculty and staff social functions...Oh
my...wont your friend Charles from the Market be surprised when he sees us
at a faculty function."

"Ha! I can hardly wait to see the look on his face then and you being the
Executive Assistant to the President will keep him on his toes and behaving
himself I hope. This just gets better and better babe." Dan said.

"Speaking of better and better...lets get at it. I need some Danny
time. Get naked Danny!"

We almost ran to the bedroom strewing clothes aside as we went. Once in bed
I was all over Dan. I suppose it was the excitement of the new job and
knowing that we would be together at last, had me so keyed up, I couldn't
get enough of him. My lips slid off his and down his chin to his neck,
kissing and licking him. My tongue dug into the little hollow by his
collarbone lapping at his sweet tasting skin. On down to chew on a nipple,
harder than before, his chest arched up pressing hard against my mouth as
he roared in delight. We were in a frenzy, I quickly traced my tongue down
his treasure trail and in one motion grabbed his hard cock in one hand and
sucked him into my throat until my nose was buried in his pubic hair.

I pushed hard to get more of him down my throat, massaging his cock with my
tongue and throat muscles. With his entire cock in my throat I reached for
the lube on the nightstand and coated my fingers and his hole, Still
sucking his cock I slipped two fingers into his ass massaging his rectum as
well as his cock. I turned my fingers and stroked his prostate causing him
to scream loudly.

"Now TJ now...I'm ready...now please..I need you..now."

In just a minute or two I had hit my stride, slamming hard into him filling
the room with the sounds of flesh slapping on flesh along with the moans
and groans of two men frantic to satisfy that never ending itch to go
deeper and harder than ever before.

It never lasts long enough...soon we were both at the brink, ready to soar
to new heights with our impending mutual orgasms. Our bodies and minds
racing to that sweetest of moments when both of us reached the peak, that
indescribable moment of release, completion, the joining of two into
one. Exquisite and pure bliss attained for that one perfect moment, the
perfect combination of physical and emotional satisfaction. Everything
stops for us in that one moment. Nothing exists but us and that
feeling. Two souls joined into one. Love.

We woke at six and showered and I fixed a quick dinner from the weekends
left overs. After dinner we lay on the sofa touching, kissing, talking,
planning for our life together. At eight I left to drive back to Nashville,
Dan would come down on Wednesday and I would go back to him on Friday. I
hardly remember the drive back to my house. Already it wasn't my home, just
my house. From now on my home was where Danny was and it would always be
that way.

I parked and closed the garage doors, went out to the front
porch. retrieved the mail and then to change clothes and call Janie. Suze
answered and we talked for a good while then she gave the phone to her
Mom. I asked her when we could talk privately and she said she would come
over now.

I fixed my drink of CC and water and poured her a glass of white wine. She
came in the front door in less that five minutes after my call.

"What's up...oh migod...you're leaving us aren't you. You're moving!" She
said.

"All these years together Janie and I still don't have a clue how you do
that. Yes you're right as usual. A lot has happened that I wanted to talk
over with you before we let the kids know. I've been hired as Executive
Assistant to the President of Western Kentucky University. More importantly
Cal and Suze can go to college there free of charge, tuition and dorm fees
waived for employees and their children. I know how you will miss them when
they're off at school. I've missed them for eight years and I see them a
lot. But I will be there at the school and at home there with Dan.

I thought that the timing was right, it will help get you and Jerry off to
a better start than with me just a few minutes away. Cal and Suze can come
up anytime. I even trust Cal to drive up. He's a good driver and has common
sense too. Do you and Jerry plan on a big wedding...the reason I ask is
that I'm here for another month. If you want to get married that quickly I
can be here and keep the kids in school and feed them. Otherwise they will
have to come to me in Bowling green when school is out here. No decisions
now babe. That can wait for you to talk over with Jerry, I wanted you to
know where we stood a.s.a.p."

"Jerry and I have talked and we've decided to have a civil ceremony then a
big blow out of a reception party for friends and family after the
honeymoon. I think we can get that done in a month, the wedding/honeymoon
part. Jerry would get married tonight if we could. So he will be all for
getting it done fast.

"I almost forgot, Congratulations on the job. Did President Fisher freak
out when you told him?'

"No, I told him when I sent off the resume. He wished me good luck but he
hoped I would change my mind. He is good friends with President Ransdell at
WKU and they talked several times this past week. President Ransdell did
say he had never had such a glowing recommendation from a current employer
as Dr. Fisher gave me."

"I'm a bit intimidated by the size of WKU Janey. Over 21,000 students and
we have a bit over 6,000 here at Belmont. But then again that just means
more alumni to write bigger checks."

"That's more like TJ, that bit about being intimidated is not at all like
you. You'll dazzle them just like you've always done here." Janey added.

"Gosh.., I can't believe I forgot to tell you this. When Cal and Suze are
in college, I will be able to take care of their expenses without you
having to share the expense if that's okay with you. They doubled my salary
Janey, Doubled it! Also, I might as well run this by you now. When Cal
graduates from College, with your consent, I would like to give him the
Mustang as his graduation present. He loves that car and I know he will
take care of it and not drive like a maniac in it. So what do you think?"

"Wow they're paying you that much...that's why you're intimidated TJ, that
salary. Sure you can pay for their college expenses and thank you very
much, Not many ex husbands would make that offer, I truly appreciate you
thinking of me that way TJ. I've already been putting money aside for that
but I can use it elsewhere I'm sure. My house has a way on knowing when I
save up some money and then Wham, the furnace goes out. And as for giving
him the car, Cal will be over the moon. I'll give him a couple of years of
insurance on the car for my present. You know that you're setting an
impressive precedent with Suze only two years behind him."

"Suze will be easy, she'll want a brand new car, practical and economical
if I know my girl" I said.

"I'll make it easy for you TJ...a Miata is what she wants, today anyway."

"Now, how about a drink to celebrate my new job!" I handed her the glass I
had poured.

"I'm not sure how I really feel about you moving away, we've been in each
others lives for a long time now. I'll miss you not being here. But I know
that you will be truly happy again and that gladdens my heart. I do so want
you to be happy TJ."

"I know what you mean, but we can chat by phone and you and Jerry can come
up to see the kids at school and stay with us. And I'll come here for
birthdays and Graduations and just to visit."

We went out onto the back deck and sat with our drinks and talked, I
managed to get her to tell of the wedding plans and honeymoon, there was a
tinge of melancholy in the air between us. We were now with new partners
and still the best of friends with our former spouse. We both took joy in
our Son and Daughter and put their welfare at the forefront of all of our
interactions together. Soon the twilight began to darken and Janey's cell
buzzed, looking at it she said it was Jerry. I got up and went back into
the house to give her privacy and refresh our drinks. Janey came in saying
that Jerry wanted to take her to dinner and she left to get ready. I
started making a list of things I wanted to take to Dan's.

I was surprised at the number of items I had listed when I gave it up and
got ready for bed.

I could finish it up tomorrow night. I crawled into bed and drifted off to
sleep thinking about Danny making hot and sweaty love to me.

Just when we think that things are perfect in our lives something happens
that shakes us to our core and puts us on our knees praying for God's
help. The phone call that all parents fear the most came early on a Tuesday
morning. It was the Principal of Cal's high school.

"Mr. Clarke, there's been an accident involving your son Callum. A car ran
through the crossing guard's signs and hit Callum as he was crossing the
street in front of the school. I've called his Mother and she is on the way
to the emergency room at Vanderbilt. She asked that I call you. My sincere
sympathy and prayers go out to your family. Some students here have already
started a prayer vigil for Callum. I wont keep you, I know you

want to get to your son. We will talk later."

As I ran through the office to the door I shouted at our secretary..

"My Son's been hit by a car...Vanderbilt ER."

I was out of the office and running to Hillsboro Pike. I knew it would be
faster on foot that driving and parking a car. I managed to flag a Taxi and
got to the ER in less than eight minutes. As I ran in the door I saw Janey
sitting alone and with a fear in her eyes that I had never seen.

"The Doctors are still examining him, we don't know yet how bad he's hurt."
she cried out between sobs.

I held her close and cried with her. Somehow being together helped ease the
tears and we sat down, me with arms still around her. She spoke first...

"Someone driving a big SUV was talking on the phone and ran right through
the crossing guard's stop sign and whistle. The Principal told me that the
police were questioning the driver when he called."

"give me your phone Janey, I'll call Jerry."

Whenshe handed me her phone I saw this look on her face, like she was both
grateful and couldn't believe I was doing it all at the same time. When
Jerry answered I told him what had happened and where we were. He said he'd
be here soon.

I looked back to Janey, who still had that look on her face.

"What! He's almost Cal's step Dad, he's already part of our family. He
wants to be here for you and I'll bet he'd be hurt if we didn't call him
ASAP."

She started to speak when the ER Doctor came to talk with us.

"Mr. & Mrs. Clarke, Cal is resting now. He has a broken left forearm and
various cuts and bruises. My biggest concern is Head Trauma. We are
monitoring him and there is slight swelling of the brain. He has no visible
head injuries but with the impact he took it would be surprising if there
were none at all.

Callum told me that he jumped up when he saw that the truck was going to
hit him. That act alone probably saved his legs from being broken and
possibly severe internal injuries. His chances were a lot better on top of
the truck than under it. We are monitoring him to be sure that there is no
increase in the swelling of his brain. If nothing shows he may get to go
home as early as tomorrow. He is a very lucky young man. A nurse will come
and get you when we get him into a cubicle here in the ER."

As we thanked him Janey and I were relieved that he wasn't as injured as we
first feared. Now we had to wait for the swelling in his brain to
recede. As we sat down I felt like I was melting into a puddle, I was
completely sapped of all my energy and adrenalin. We sat there, holding
hands and saying our private thanks when Jerry came rushing in.  Janey just
held her arms open, too exhausted to stand up as he hugged her to him.
Right behind Jerry a terrified Sean Sutton came rushing into the waiting
area.  Sean is Cal's best friend, they met in preschool when they were four
years old and have been almost inseparable since.  Sean collapsed in
Janey's arms, sobbing.

"I was waiting for him on the other side of the crosswalk.  I saw it
happen...how is he?

Just then a nurse came to tell us we could see him, one at a time and Janey
found her reserves and jumped up and rushed to see her Son. Sean came to
sit by me and I put my arm around him.  He's like a second son, he's always
around when we're at home or he and Cal are at his house.  Sean was talking
coherently telling us what happened all the while, tears streamed down his
face.  Jerry sat and offered his hand, as I shook it he said...

"Thanks for calling me TJ, I really appreciate this."

"You're one of us now Jerry, you're family, of course I'd call you. She
needs you here just as much as me. Maybe more. Cal has a broken left
forearm and cuts and bruises, but there is a slight swelling in his brain
that they are monitoring closely now.  Looking over to Sean I squeezed him
close.

"He's all right Sean.  Just a broken arm and maybe a little but concussed,
but he's okay.  He'll be glad you're here.  The Doc said Cal told him that
he jumped up when he saw the truck was going to hit him and that most
likely saved his legs from being broken. I doubt that I would have thought
of that."

"Me either, that's really amazing. How did it happen?" Jerry asked.

"We saw that in a movie last weekend, a guy jumped up and the car when
under him."  Sean added excitedly.

"Cal was crossing in the crosswalk at school, the crossing guard had her
sign up and blowing her whistle. The driver of the SUV was on the phone and
just ran him down."

Janey came back in a few minutes and I went back to see Cal. As I pulled
the curtain aside I heard...

"Hiya Pops!"

What a wonderful greeting to hear. I almost lost it right then but I choked
back the tears.

"Hi Son!...looks like you really dodged a big one this time. Is your arm
hurting much?"

"Nah, they gave me a pain shot before they brought me here. Hey Dad...I'll
have a cast on the left arm but I'll still be able to drive the Stang for
the prom."

I had to laugh...

"Okay Cal...we'll get in some practice for you before the dance. How did
you think to jump up just before you got hit. The Doc says that probably
saved you having broken legs and even internal injuries. It just amazes me
that you thought to do that."

"I saw it in some movie Dad. It just happened, I didn't think about it. I'm
really sorry, I know this really upset Mom and you."

"Sean's here, he was waiting for you to cross the street, he saw it all
happen."

"He came here?"

"Yes, he's calmed down a bit from when he got here. You're a lucky guy Cal,
best friends are hard to come by, you've got a good one in Sean."

"Yeah, I know, but don't tell him that. I already owe him a lot."

"Jeez, Mom came in crying, you looked scared to death...I'm just sorry to
put you guys through this."

"Cal this wasn't your fault in any way. There's no reason for you to feel
sorry about it."

"I know Pops, but seeing you guys so upset just tears me up inside."

"You're a good Son Cal and I hope that you never know the terror your Mom
and I felt not knowing how badly you were hurt. For all we knew you could
be dying or dead. I've never felt such fear and dread before. I ran from my
office to Hillsboro Pike. I got a cab there. I haven't talked to your Mom
about it yet but I can imagine what her drive here was like."

"That's why I'm sorry Dad, to cause you that pain, I would never want you
to have to feel that way. I know it wasn't my fault but still I wish I
could have kept you and Mom from feeling so scared about what happened to
me."

"That's just one of the many things that make you such a joy to have as my
Son Callum. You are truly a good person.'

"Aww Pops...I can't help it...it's just the way I was brought up...I have
great parents. Now stop this talk about me. tell me, how are things with
you and Dan?"

Just as Cal said his name my phone rang. I looked at the number and it was
Danny.

"It's Dan calling!" I said to Cal

"Hey Dan..."

"TJ...I know this may sound weird...but I just had this feeling that I
needed to call you...is everything alright?"

"Yes, all is well...now. We had a very bad scare about an hour ago but we
escaped with just one broken arm and very, very thankful that was all. Cal
was hit by an SUV in the crosswalk at his school. His left arm was broken
but it could have been so much worse. I'm with him and he had just asked
how things were with us when the phone rang."

"Good grief...I'm really sorry, I know you and Janey must have been out of
your minds with fear there for a while. It's really strange...I just felt
that I had to call you, talk to you.""Somehow you knew that I needed you. I
needed to hear your voice. I needed you and you called me. I think that's
pretty amazing."

Cal signaled that he wanted to talk to Dan.

"Wait a sec Danny..."

"Hi Dan, it's Cal...I just wanted to say hi and to thank you for making my
Dad so happy. The Doc says I may get out of here tomorrow, fingers
crossed. Okay, here's Pops again...bye."

"I'm back...we still on for tomorrow afternoon?  ...Great...oh...this joker
here in the hospital tells me he can still drive a stick shift because it's
his left arm that's broken. Still thinks he's driving my car to the
Prom. Okay, I'll see you tomorrow afternoon. We'll go to see this guy here
if he's at home. Bye Danny."

"Ohmigod...Dad!  You're in love aren't you...somehow that never connected
for me before. You and Dan are in love. I'm such a dummy, that's the
difference in you...you're in love again!"

"Way to go Sherlock! What made you put all that together Cal."

"You Dad, if you could see your face when you talk to him! It's so obvious,
you glow when your talking with him. I want to ask...er...uh never
mind..it's not really my business, no matter how curious I am."

"It's okay Cal...what are you curious about I'll answer if I can?"

"Okay, you asked for it...I'm curious about...the..sex...you don't have to
tell me. But I really want to know..."

"Uh...ah...Cal...we'll talk about this but not here okay. At my place, I'll
answer your questions, I promise, just not here, this isn't the place for
us to have that talk."

Cal did get discharged the next morning and we took him home to his Mom's
where she could take care of him and 'mother him' to distraction. While she
was out of the room I told him I'd hide him if he felt the need to get
away. I told Janey to call if she wanted a break and I went back to my
house.

Janey called the next morning to tell me that the police had called her and
the field test for alcohol on the driver that hit Cal was positive. They
would charge the driver with attempted murder by vehicle. I got so mad I
was fuming. A drunk and on his phone at eight a.m. ran my Son down in his
school crosswalk. I was furious.

I left work early in the afternoon, too angry to concentrate. I made a
drink and was pacing the floor when there was a knock on the front door. I
opened it and Dan stepped in and grabbed me into a hug. In in my anger I
had forgotten that he was on his way here. Five minutes with Danny eased my
bad mood considerably.

The phone rang and it was Cal begging me to get Janey to let him come over
to my place.

"Dad you know how much I love her but I'm going crazy here, she's obsessed
with making sure I'm okay. Please help me. She didn't sleep at all last
night, she needs to rest too."

"Okay Son, I'll call her when we hang up. Hang in there Cal."

I dialed Janey's phone and heard the exhaustion in her voice.

"Janey when did you last sleep. You're exhausted. Listen, I'm coming over
there and I'll bring Cal and Suze here. You have to get some rest. No
arguments. I'm on my way."

I hung up and told Dan we were going over there now. We were there in three
minutes and Janey was a wreck. I led her to her bedroom and had Suze
undress her and we put her to bed, I had her swallow a sleeping pill,
telling her it was aspirin. When she was in bed I called Jerry and told him
what I had done and he said he would come right over and stay with her.

"Thanks for getting her in the bed, she wouldn't hear of it earlier today;
she gets a little bossy when she's worn out doesn't she." Jerry said.

I laughed with him...

"You learn fast Jerry...I'm taking Cal and Suze back to my place for the
night..call me if you need me. Take good care of her Jerry."

I knocked on Cal's door and poked my head in...

"Anyone here call for the Rescue Squad?"

"Pops! That was quick...thank you, thank you...hey Dan...didn't know you
were here. Good to see you again."

Jerry drove up while we were loading into the car and I told him about
slipping her a Tylenol PM and telling her it was aspirin. He shook hands
with Dan and Cal and asked Suze if she'd rather stay home, and that he
might need her help with her Mom. She decided she would since she didn't
have much to do at my place. I kissed her and told her I loved her and we'd
see her tomorrow.

Back at my house the three of us were in the kitchen and I made a drink for
Dan and I and poured out a O,J, for Cal. We chatted a bit and then I
started making dinner. Dan and Cal loved my Chicken Marsala and they
cleaned up after we ate. In the TV room Cal asked for a pillow and a
blanket.

"Dan, Dad...thanks for the rescue. Poor Mom was wasted. Listen you
guys...I'm going to watch TV and sleep here on this sofa tonight. I know I
could use the guest room but you two will have more privacy if I stay in
here. You'd have a hard time getting any action out of Dad with me next
door Dan."

Dan and I both blushed. Then Dan laughed..."Cal I may get you to talk to my
Son Connor, and see if you can get him to pimp for me like you do for your
Dad!"

That brought laughs from everyone.

At eight Dan and I went to my room and left Cal with the TV. We lay on my
bed still fully dressed and made out like teens again. When Dan started to
get up to go back home I pushed him back, jerked his zipper down and hauled
out that big cock of his and buried it deep in my throat. Danny was trying
to keep quiet but little moans escaped as he grabbed fistfuls of bed covers
in each hand.

I was a mad man, determined to have him cum before he left me. My practice
on his big tool proved handy as I devoured his cock and buried it deep, as
my throat massaged it's length and hardness. I held his cock steady with
one hand and pulled and stretched his ball sack in the other. I felt his
balls moving and knew he was about to cum. He groaned, loud even with his
mouth closed, as he filled me with his semen. I nursed him until his cock
was limp. He pulled me up to kiss him and reached for my fly and in minutes
I was filling him with my cum. We lay together for a few minutes more and
we both knew he had to get on the road.

Dan ducked into the TV room to say bye to Cal and Cal stood and hugged him.

"I want to come visit you guys and meet your Son and Daughter Dan. Pops,
our family has more than doubled this month. That's really cool."

As Dan drove off Cal and I stood waving on the porch. When we turned to go
back in Cal put his good arm over my shoulders. You ready yet to tell me
when you're going to move to Bowling Green Pops.

We sat at the island in the kitchen.

"Okay son, I guess I am. I applied for a job at WKU the college there. I've
accepted their offer and will go to work there in a month from last
Monday. You will be going to college there and so will your sister. It's
big Cal. More than 21,000 students. All the sports programs you can
imagine. Your Tuition and Dorm fees are paid for. We'll talk about your
living off campus for your senior year when the time comes. And Danny and I
will be there just three miles from Campus. We have a swimming pool in the
back yard too."

When I move Cal, nothing changes but the miles between us. When you get a
car you can come up yourself. It's only sixty miles. I've already talked
with your Mom about you and Suze driving up alone. I want you to understand
why I'm doing this now."

"Pops, I know. With Mom and Jerry getting hitched and me off to college
after next year it makes sense. Plus you're in love, you gotta go be with
him. I do understand and I'm so very happy for you and Dan. You two deserve
some happiness for your very own."

"Thank you Son. I love you. Cal, you can sleep in the guest room
tonight. And thanks for giving us the space earlier. One day you'll realize
how much that meant for me."The next afternoon after getting home from work
Cal called again.

"Hiya Pops, what are you up to?"

"I'm just chilling out after work Son."

"Is it okay to come over. The warden has released me to my regular
routine."

I laughed with him.

"Sure come on over, you want to have dinner with your old man?"

"Sure Pops, that'd be fun. See you in a few...Oh...Sean's here, can he come
too.?"

"As long as it's okay with his folks, your friends are always welcome Son."

"Thanks Dad...he's calling home now, we'll see you soon."

Cal and Sean were at my door within minutes.

"Hey guys...Sean... welcome...It's been awhile since we've spent time
together, not counting that stint at the ER a couple of days ago.  You're
becoming quite a handsome young man."

I noticed that Sean and Cal both blushed bright red at that comment. I
invited them to sit at the island in the kitchen while I cooked.

"Is Spaghetti and meatballs okay with you guys?" I asked.

"That will be great Mr. C, I love it." Sean said.

I'm going to start dinner, but I can talk while I cook so spill it
Cal...what's on your mind tonight? I noticed that Cal looked to Sean before
he spoke.

"Well Pops I'm out of the hospital and at your place. Are you ready to tell
me about that thing I'm curious about?"

I was surprised to say the least, he wants to talk about gay sex with Sean
sitting beside him. I looked from one of them to the other a couple of
times.

"Now Cal?"

"Oh...uh...Sean wants to know too...uh...er...Dad...You've always been
upfront with me about this sort of stuff so I might as well tell you that
Sean and I have fooled around a bit...jacking eachother off, sleeping naked
together and we've even kissed a few times."They were both beet red from
blushing as Cal told of their sexual adventures. I supposed that I was
blushing too. I had never expected to be having this conversation with my
son and his best friend.

"Well then, okay I guess. Dan and I do have sexual relations. Both oral and
anal. Most gay men do the same. Some don't do both for their own personal
reasons. I will not get into graphic detail with you two but I suggest that
you get a dictionary and figure out what those two terms mean if you have
any doubts."

"Sure Pops, it's just that we don't know what we are. Are we Gay? We just
don't know."

"Callum...Sean...you're only seventeen.  Boys, even men experiment sexually
with each other. It does not mean that you are gay, you're just doing what
most of your friends are doing, it's just that no one talks about it. If
you were truly gay at your age Cal, you would want to be taking Sean here
to the Prom, not double dating with him."

Both boys wrinkled their noses and said 'eeew' at the same time. I laughed.

"Here's what I think you two may want to know. First being gay is not a
choice we decide to make. It's something you're born with I believe. A lot
of gay men, me included, try our best to ignore the gay urges and thoughts;
we marry and have families. Some never admit their secret desires. Others
like me can't make their marriage work and divorce. In my case I was thirty
two years old when I admitted to myself that I am Gay.

I am also a very fortunate gay man. I've managed to find the one person
with whom I know I can live with and love with for the rest of my
life. Daniel fulfills all my needs for a partner, a lover and a
companion. Yes Cal, you were right that first day in the hospital when you
guessed or realized that I was in love with Dan. I am in love with him and
it is the best feeling I've known in eight years and I know that Dan loves
me as well.I did and still do love your mother Cal, but it is a different
love now. Janey and I are forever bound together because of you and your
sister, our love created both of you. Danny and I are bound together
because we want to be together, we each need the other, emotionally and
physically. That is where the sex part comes into play.

Sex itself can be lots of fun. Like you two, I know that you care about
each other but you're too young to really be in love with each
other. Having sex with each other is fun, it feels so darn good and there's
the thrill of the taboo of two guys doing it together, but it lacks the
emotional component that 'being in love' adds. That's when the earth moves
for you, when you make love to to your special someone. Sex between two
people who are in love is this fantastic bonus you get from loving that
person. You can live with, and even love a person without sexual relations
but it is a very different type of love. Sexual fulfillment is a healthy
and necessary part of being a healthy human.

You guys are so young. Please, don't be in a rush to put a label on
this. You're experimenting, and that is a natural part of young guys
growing up. You've got this fantastic body part that you can play with and
it makes you feel so good. It can feel even better when you have someone to
play with it for you. You're still finding out who you are and what you
want to be. There's no need for you to put a label on yourselves yet.

But there's nothing wrong in what you do together. I admit I am surprised
by what you've told me but I'm not at all shocked. It's a natural
occurrence between friends your age. There are no set ways for any two
people to experience sex with a partner. Just put the two naked bodies of
two people who truly care for each other together and human nature will
take care of the rest. The human form is designed so that there are
multiple ways that very gratifying sex can be achieved. Once you are in
love you will learn how to love your partner sexually and emotionally as
well."

"Any questions boys?"

"Wow Dad...you make it sound like it's just as natural and a girl and a
guy."

"That's because it is just as natural Callum, and at your age, it is more
common than a girl and guy doing the same things. Young men experiment with
each other. It's been going on forever. The unnatural part is that gay
people must keep their sexual preference a secret. Homophobia exists and is
even nurtured by some, and it isn't legal for us to marry the person we
love, yet."

Sean spoke up...

"T...Thank you Mr. C...I really appreciate what you've told us. I was all
messed up thinking I was a sicko freak because I really do like doing what
Cal and I have done together. Either way, gay or straight, now I know I'm a
normal guy. Thank you again."

"Don't you let anyone tell you any different either, Sean. This old world
is full of gay men and women who are healthy, normal human beings."

"Sean, I can't speak for your family but for Cal this is the way it
is. Your's or his eventual sexual orientation will never be an issue in our
family. Our children's happiness and ability to lead productive and
successful lives is the goal for Janey and I as parents. It's our job to
love and nurture our children to adulthood, with enough guidance and
education to achieve your goals, not the goals of your parents."

"I can only hope that your family feels the same Sean, for that's what you
deserve."

"Okay guys, grab a plate and load it up. Let's eat."

After dinner the boys cleaned up and we watched a ballgame on TV then they
had to leave. Cal hugged me tight and kissed my cheek...

"Dad you're just the greatest. I love that I can come and talk to you about
stuff like tonight. I love you, Pops."

"Thanks son I love you too." To my surprise Sean hugged me too.

"I wish I could feel as close to my Dad as I do to you Mr. C. I just hardly
ever get to see him more than a minute or two at a time."

"I wish that too Sean."I made a mental note to get more info from Cal about
Sean's home life. The boys left and I closed up the house and went to my
room. I set out my clothes for the weekend and packed my personals in the
carry all. My Friday workday went by quickly for a change and suddenly it
was Friday afternoon and I was on my way to home to Danny.

As I drove, I thought about Sean missing his Dad and trying to figure out
what I could do for him without meddling. Before I could get it figured out
I was at the exit to Dan's house and I phoned Dan to let him know I was
here.  As I pulled into the drive the garage door was up and Dan was
standing there waiting for me. My face hurt from smiling so big, my heart
was beating a mile a minute just looking at him waiting for me. We were
locked in a kiss before the door was all the way down. Two days without him
seemed an eternity.

"Only 25 more days to go. I'm marking off the days until you're here with
me for good."

"I know babe, me too."

In our bedroom we just fell onto the bed hugging each other
tightly. Gradually the need for full body contact eased and we could
function without constant touching. I went to check the Fridge and found
that we needed a run to the market for the weekends meals.

We ran into Charles the Professor and received his cool hello. I asked Dan
not to tell him about my job and lets just wait and see his reaction when
he sees us at a Faculty function.

With the Market cart loaded for the weekend we checked out and made our way
home. While I made our dinner Dan's daughter and son called, making him a
happy Dad. We were sitting in the kitchen eating our dinner when Dan
mentioned that tomorrow night he was taking me out for our celebration
dinner. My new job and our new life together and I was moving here in 3
weeks.

Danny told me how this town had welcomed General Motors when Corvette
Production was moved here. GM Executives were given preferential treatment
just about everywhere.

They were given Country Club Memberships and could get a table at any
restaurant with their business card. Also they received several free rounds
of golf per month and passes to shows and concerts. Privately the GM folks
were just happy to be here. The people, the weather and the entire state
were head and shoulders above the previous site. All the free gifts and
instant access completely amazed them and made them feel so very welcomed.

For out Saturday evening out Dan had reservations at the City Club and we
went out for our first evening on the town together. Our dinner was
fabulous and the service the best I had ever experienced. We left at 10:30
very satisfied and content. At home Dan asked if I was up for a surprise
and I agreed. He told me to change into my sexy jeans and a tee or a tank
top.

"We're going dancing tonight at the gay club near WKU!

It had been two or three lifetimes ago that I last danced but tonight was
Danny's night to wine and dine me. Dancing we would go.

I had been in gay bars of course but always on the make and alone. Tonight
was the first time with my partner. We had a ball dancing and flirting with
each other like we'd just met. Other guys kept trying to cut in or ask us
separately to dance with them but we declined saying we were on our
honeymoon. After about three hours I said to Dan...

"Let's go home babe, I'm too horny to dance anymore. I want your naked
furry body on me filling me up with that big cock you have in your pants."

We were out the door and in the car in a flash.

"Wow babe, that was fun...I don't think I've ever danced that hard or that
long before. I'm completely soaked with sweat...we'll have to jump in the
shower before we get all sweaty and sticky again. Thanks for tonight Danny!
What a ball! You know I'm crazy about you, always have been, always will
be. I love you Danny with all my heart."

A nice warm shower with the one you love can cure a lot of nagging aches
and pains. The feel of his skin slick with the water cascading down on us
was so erotic. It didn't take Dan very long to have me flush against the
shower wall while he probed deep into my guts with his hard, insatiable
cock. The cool tile, the water, his hard cock filling me and his warm skin
against my backside brought me to climax quickly. My cock was up against my
belly and my body flush against the tile as my semen coated both the wall
and me. While my ejaculation was emptying my testicles, Dan's cock filled
my ass with his seed. I was spent, I don't remember making it to the bed.

We were awake at eight on Sunday Morning, I made coffee quickly and we
scanned through the paper with our first cup. I refilled our cups and
started bacon to frying and prepared the ingredients to make us French
Toast. We ate and read the paper, seemingly oblivious to the other but
under the breakfast table our feet and legs were entwined as always.

Janey called about one in the afternoon to let us know that the wedding was
set for the fourth of July weekend.

"That's great Janey and it's about time too. So whats the plan?" I asked.

"We're having the ceremony here at home with just Jerry's Mom and Sister
and my Mom, Cal and Suze. TJ, I know this is going to sound strange but I
wanted to warn you, Jerry may ask you to be his best man. He's asked me
about it. He thinks you're just about the coolest guy on the planet with
the way you've accepted him into the family with your friendship and
kindness. I'm okay with it too, I'd like you to be there, Dan too if he
wants to come, He's family now as much as Jerry. Cal and Suze both think
it's a great idea.""Really? Well if he asks, I'll say yes. It does surprise
me in a way but if the roles were reversed I could see me doing the same
thing. He's a great guy. Gosh, tongues will wag in the Village when they
read that in the paper. What about the honeymoon?

"That's where you and Dan come in. Can you have Cal and Suze with you that
next week after the wedding.?

"I'm sure but let me ask Dan right quick...hold on a sec."

I ran it by Dan and he was all for it, saying we could get his two over
here at the same time and let them get to know each other.

"it's all a go Janey, we'll get Dan's kids here too so they can meet and
get to know each other. Cal and Suze can drive up in your SUV and we'll
follow in our car. That way Cal can get experience on the Interstate with
me watching. Maybe I wont be so anxious about him driving on it if I
observe from another car."

"I've been worried about that too. It will be better knowing your right
there with them. A little better anyway." she said.

"Congratulations sweetie, you know how happy I am for you. Give my congrats
to Jerry too and it's fine if he asks me to be there as his Best Man. We'll
talk more later in the week. I wonder how Dan and I will cope with four
teens in the house?"

"Ha! Payback is hell TJ!  Bye for now" she laughed as she hung up.

Dan and I went to Nashville for the wedding and I stood with Jerry as his
Best Man as he married my best friend and my ex-wife.

Back in Bowling green, Callum and Suzannah met Connor and Malin for the
first time and Dan and I just sat back and watched. Cal and Connor were
talking sports in about 30 seconds and we were pretty sure that Malin and
Suze were talking about boys. They're 15 year old girls, what else would
they talk about. Well, all four could talk about their gay fathers sitting
in the TV room and I'm sure the subject came up over the weekend.

We had them for a week so Dan and I devised a plan so that all of them
would have equal time with their Dad. We alternated with me taking the
girls one day, him the boys and we would switch the next day. We had a list
of things to do that they chose from and the first day all six of us went
to the Beach Bend amusement park. The girls went to the pool at Dan's club
one day, the boys took a tour of WKU with me.After dinner on the second day
I was on the deck, oddly alone for a few minutes. I was sipping a drink and
thinking about jumping into the pool when Cal walked out to join me.

"There you are, hiding out Pops?"

"Not really, I just realized that I was alone for the first time this
week. Have a seat Son.

I was also thinking about jumping in the pool about two minutes ago."

"Really? I'll race ya." Cal said.

'Wait...TIMEOUT! I have to take off my watch and empty out my wallet and
cash before I jump in." I said as I emptied my pockets and ran to beat Cal
into the water.

"Cheater" he yelled as he cannon balled me.

We were horsing around splashing about and the next thing I knew Connor,
Dan and the girls all were jumping in the water. We were all laughing and
the boys hoisted Dan and I to their shoulders and we fought trying to
unseat the other into the water. Dan won and then he and I got the Girls up
for a while. The last battle was Malin on Connor, Suze on Cal and Me on
Dan. We all had a super time and it did a lot to bring our children closer
to each other. They all seemed to get along well and even like each other.

Dan and I managed to get away from the battles and sat on the edge of the
pool., our feet touching under the water.

Dan turned to me and said...

"Would you look at us! this time last year who could h































"Mr. & Mrs. Clarke, Cal is resting now. He has a broken left forearm and
various cuts and bruises. My biggest concern is Head Trauma. We are
monitoring him and there is slight swelling of the brain. He has no visible
head injuries but with the impact he took it would be surprising if there
were none at all. Callum told me that he jumped up when he saw that the
truck was going to hit him. That act alone probably saved his legs from
being broken and possibly severe internal injuries. His chances were a lot
better on top of the truck instead of under it. We are monitoring him to be
sure that there is no increase in the swelling of his brain. If nothing
shows he may get to go home as early as tomorrow. He is a very lucky young
man. A nurse will come and get you when we get him into a cubicle here in
the ER."

As we thanked him Janey and I were relieved that he wasn't as injured as we
first feared. Now we had to wait for the swelling in his brain to
recede. As we sat down I felt like I was melting into a puddle, I was
completely sapped of all energy and adrenalin. We sat there, holding hands
and saying our private thanks when Jerry came rushing in. Janey just held
her arms open, too exhausted to stand up as he hugged her to him.

A nurse came to tell us we could see him, one at a time and Janey found her
reserves and jumped up and rushed to see her Son. Jerry sat and offered his
hand, as I shook it he said...

"Thanks for calling me TJ, I really appreciate this."

"You're one of us now Jerry, you're family, of course I'd call you. She
needs you here just as much as me. Maybe more. Cal has a broken left
forearm and cuts and bruises, but

there is a slight swelling in his brain that they are monitoring closely
now. The Doc said Cal told him that he jumped up when he saw the truck was
going to hit him and that most likely saved his legs from being broken. I
doubt that I would have thought of that."

"me either, that's really amazing. How did it happen?"

"Cal was crossing at the crosswalk, the crossing guard had her sign up and
blowing her

whistle. The driver of the SUV was on the phone and just ran him down."

Janey came back in a few minutes and I went back to see Cal. As I pulled
the curtain aside I heard...

"Hiya Pops!"

What a wonderful greeting to hear. I almost lost it right then but I choked
back the tears.

"Hi Son!...looks like you really dodged a big one this time. Is your arm
hurting much?"

"Nah, they gave me a pain shot before they brought me here. Hey Dad...I'll
have a cast on the left arm but I'll still be able to drive the Stang for
the prom."

I had to laugh...

"okay Cal...we'll get in some practice for you before the dance. How did
you think to jump up just before you got hit. The Doc says that probably
saved you having broken legs and even internal injuries. It just amazes me
that you thought to do that."

"I saw it in some movie Dad. It just happened, I didn't think about it. I'm
really sorry, I know this really upset Mom and you."

"Cal this wasn't your fault in any way. There's no reason for you to feel
sorry about it."

"I know Pops, but seeing you guys so upset tears me up inside."

"You're a good Son Cal and I hope that you never know the terror your Mom
and I felt not knowing how badly you were hurt. For all we knew you could
be dying or dead. I've never felt such fear and dread before. I ran from my
office to Hillsboro Pike. I got a cab there. I haven't talked to your Mom
about it yet but I can imagine what her drive here was like."

"Thats why I'm sorry Dad, to cause you that pain, I would never want you to
have to feel that way. I know it wasn't my fault but still I wish I could
have kept you and Mom from feeling so scared about what happened to me."

"That's just one of the many things that make you such a joy to have as my
Son Callum. You are truly a good person.'

"Aww Pops...I can't help it...it's just the way I was brought up...I have
great parents. Now stop this talk about me. tell me, how are things with
you and Dan?"

Just as Cal said his name my phone rang. I looked at the number and it was
Danny.

"It's Dan calling!" I said to Cal

"Hey Dan..."

"TJ...I know this may sound weird...but I just had this feeling that I
needed to call you...is everything alright?"

"yes, all is well...now. We had a very bad scare about an hour ago but we
escaped with just one broken arm and very, very thankful that was all. Cal
was hit by an SUV in the crosswalk at his school. His left arm was broken
but it could have been so much worse. I'm with him and he had just asked
how things were with us when the phone rang."

"Good grief...I'm really sorry, I know you and Janey must have been out of
your minds with fear there for a while. It's really strange...I just felt
that I had to call you, talk to you."

"Somehow you knew that I needed you. I needed to hear your voice. I needed
you and you called me. I think that's pretty amazing."

Cal signaled that he wanted to talk to Dan.

"Wait a sec Danny..."

"Hi Dan, it's Cal...I just wanted to say hi and to thank you for making my
Dad so happy. The Doc says I may get out of here tomorrow, fingers
crossed. Okay, here's Pops again...bye."

"I'm back...we still on for tomorrow afternoon...great...oh...this joker
here in the hospital tells me he can still drive a stick shift because it's
his left arm that's broken. Still thinks he's driving my car to the
Prom. Okay, I'll see you tomorrow afternoon. We'll go to see this guy here
if he's at home. Bye Danny."

"Ohmigod...Dad! You're in love aren't you...somehow that never connected
for me before. You and Dan are in love. I'm such a dummy, that's the
difference in you...you're in love again!"

"Way to go Sherlock! What made you put all that together Cal."

"You Dad, if you could see your face when you talk to him! It's so obvious,
you glow when your talking with him. I want to ask...er...uh never
mind..it's not really my business no matter how curious I am."

"It's okay Cal...what are you curious about I'll answer if I can?"

"okay, you asked for it...I'm curious about...the..sex...you don't have to
tell me. But I really want to know..."

"er...ah...Cal...we'll talk about this but not here okay. At my place, I'll
answer your questions, I promise."

Cal did get discharged the next morning and we took him home to his Mom's
where she could take care of him and 'mother him' to distraction. While she
was out of the room I told him I'd hide him if he felt the need to get
away. I told Janey to call if she wanted a break and I went back to my
house.

Janey called the next morning to tell me that the police had called her and
the field test for alcohol on the driver that hit Cal was positive. They
would charge the driver with attempted murder by vehicle. I got so mad I
was fuming. A drunk and on his phone at eight a.m. ran my Son down in his
school crosswalk. I was furious.

I left work early in the afternoon, too angry to concentrate. I made a
drink and was pacing the floor when there was a knock on the front door. I
opened it and Dan stepped in and grabbed me into a hug. In in my anger I
had forgotten that he was on his way here. Five minutes with Danny eased my
bad mood considerably.

The phone rang and it was Cal begging me to get Janey to let him come over
to my place.

"Dad you know how much I love her but I'm going crazy here, she's obsessed
with making sure I'm okay. Please help me. She didn't sleep at all last
night, she needs to rest too."

"Okay Son, I'll call her soon as we hang up. Hang in there Cal."

I dialed Janey's phone and heard the exhaustion in her voice.

"Janey when did you last sleep. You're exhausted. Listen, I'm coming over
there and I'll bring Cal and Suze here. You have to get some rest. No
arguments. I'm on my way."

I hung up and told Dan we were going over there now. We were there in three
minutes and Janey was a wreck. I led her to her bedroom and had Suze
undress her and we put her to bed, I had her swallow a sleeping pill,
telling her it was aspirin. When she was in bed I called Jerry and told him
what I had done and he said he would come right over and stay with her.

"thanks for getting her in the bed, she wouldn't hear of it earlier today;
she gets a little bossy when she's worn out doesn't she." Jerry said.

I laughed with him...

"you learn fast Jerry...I'm taking Cal and Suze back to my place for the
night..call me if you need me. Take good care of her Jerry."

I knocked on Cal's door and poked my head in...

"anyone here call for the Rescue Squad?"

"Pops! That was quick...thank you, thank you...hey Dan...didn't know you
were here. Good to see you again."

Jerry drove up while we were loading into the car and I told him about
slipping her a Tylenol PM and telling her it was aspirin. He shook hands
with Dan and Cal and asked Suze if she'd rather stay home, and that he
might need her help with her Mom. She decided she would since she didn't
have much to do at my place. I kissed her and told her I loved her and we'd
see her tomorrow.

Back at my house the three of us were in the kitchen and I made a drink for
Dan and I and poured out a O,J, for Cal. We chatted a bit and then I
started making dinner. Dan and Cal loved my Chicken Marsala and they
cleaned up after we ate. In the TV room Cal asked for a pillow and a
blanket.

"Dan, Dad...thanks for the rescue. Poor Mom was wasted. Listen you
guys...I'm going to watch TV and sleep here on this sofa tonight. I know I
could use the guest room but you two will have more privacy if I stay in
here. You'd have a hard time getting any action out of Dad with me next
door Dan."

Dan and I both blushed. Then Dan laughed...

"Cal I may get you to talk to my Son Connor, and see if you can get him to
pimp for me like you do for your Dad!"

That brought laughs from everyone.

At eight Dan and I went to my room and left Cal with the TV. We lay on my
bed still fully dressed and made out like teens again. When Dan started to
get up to go back home I pushed him back, jerked his zipper down and hauled
out that big cock of his and buried it deep in my throat. Danny was trying
to keep quiet but little moans escaped as he grabbed fistfuls of bed covers
in each hand.

I was a mad man, determined to have him cum before he left me. My practice
on his big tool proved handy as I devoured his cock and buried it deep as
my throat massaged it's length and hardness. I held his cock steady with
one hand and pulled and stretched his ball sack in the other. I felt his
balls moving and knew he was about to cum. He groaned, loud even with his
mouth closed, as he filled me with his semen. I nursed him until his cock
was limp. He pulled me up to kiss him and reached for my fly and in minutes
I was filling him with my cum. We lay together for a few minutes more and
we both knew he had to get on the road.

Dan ducked into the TV room to say bye to Cal and Cal stood and hugged him.

"I want to come visit you guys and meet your Son and Daughter Dan. Pops,
our family has more than doubled this month. That's really cool."

As Dan drove off Cal and I stood waving on the porch. When we turned to go
back in Cal put his good arm over my shoulders. You ready yet to tell me
when you're going to move to Bowling Green Pops.

We sat at the island in the kitchen.

"Okay son, I guess I am. I applied for a job at WKU the college there. I've
accepted their offer and will go to work there in a month from last
Monday. You will be going to college there and so will your sister. It's
big Cal. More than 21,000 students. All the sports programs you can
imagine. Your Tuition and Dorm fees are paid for. We'll talk about your
living off campus for your senior year when the time comes. And Danny and I
will be there just three miles from Campus. We have a swimming pool in the
back yard too."

When I move Cal, nothing changes but the miles between us. When you get a
car you can come up yourself. It's only sixty miles. I've already talked
with your Mom about you and Suze driving up alone. I want you to understand
why I'm doing this now."

"Pops, I know. With Mom and Jerry getting hitched and me off to college
after next year it makes sense. Plus you're in love, you gotta go be with
him. I do understand and I'm so very happy for you and Dan. You two deserve
some happiness for your very own."

"Thank you Son. I love you. Cal, you can sleep in the guest room
tonight. And thanks for giving us the space earlier. One day you'll realize
how much that meant for me."

The next afternoon after getting home from work Cal called again.

"Hiya Pops, what are you up to?"

"I'm just chilling out after work Son."

"Is it okay to come over. The warden has released me to my regular
routine."

I laughed with him.

"Sure come on over, you want to have dinner with your old man?"

"Sure Pops, that'd be fun. See you in a few...Oh...Sean's here, can he come
too.?"

"As long as it's okay with his folks, your friends are always welcome Son."

"Thanks Dad...he's calling home now, we'll see you soon."

Cal and Sean were at my door within minutes.

"Hey guys...Sean... welcome...It's been awhile since I've seen you, you're
becoming quite a handsome young man."

I noticed that Sean and Cal both blushed bright red at that comment. I
invited them to sit at the island in the kitchen while I cooked.

"Is Spaghetti okay with you guys?" I asked.

"That will be great Mr. C, I love it." Sean said.

I'm going to start dinner, but I can talk while I cook so spill it
Cal...what's on your mind tonight? I noticed that Cal looked to Sean before
he spoke.

"Well Pops I'm out of the hospital and at your place. Are you ready to tell
me about that thing I'm curious about?"

I was surprised to say the least he wanted to talk about gay sex with Sean
sitting beside him. I looked from one of them to the other a couple of
times.

"Now Cal?"

"Oh...uh..Sean wants to know too...uh...er...Dad...You've always been
upfront with me about this stuff so I might as well tell you that Sean and
I have fooled around a bit...jacking eachother off, sleeping naked together
and we've even kissed a few times."

They were both beet red from blushing as Cal told of their sexual
adventures. I supposed that I was blushing too. I never expected to be
having this conversation with my son and his friend.

"Well okay I guess. Dan and I do have sexual relations. Both oral and
anal. Most gay men do the same. Some don't do both for their own personal
reasons. I will not get into graphic detail with you two, and I suggest
that you get a dictionary and figure out what those two terms mean if you
have any doubts."

"Sure Pops, it's just that we don't know what we are. Are we Gay? We just
don't know."

"Callum...Sean...you guys are only seventeen, still boys, even grown men
experiment sexually with each other sometimes.  It does not mean that you
are gay, you're just doing what most of your friends are doing, it's just
that no one talks about it. If you were truly gay at your age Cal, you
would want to be taking Sean here to the Prom, not double dating with him."

Both boys wrinkled their noses and said 'eeew' at the same time. I laughed.

"Here's what I think you two may want to know. First being gay is not a
choice we deicide to make. It's something you're born with I believe. A lot
of gay men, like me, try our best to ignore the gay urges and thoughts and
we marry and have families. Some never admit their secret desires. Others
like me can't make their marriage work and divorce. In my case I was thirty
two years old when I admitted to my self that I am Gay.

I am also a very fortunate gay man. I've managed to find the one person
with whom I know I can live with and love with for the rest of my
life. Daniel fulfills all my needs for a partner, a lover and a
companion. Yes Cal, you were right that first day in the hospital when you
guessed or realized that I was in love with Dan. I am in love with him and
it is the best feeling I've known in eight years an I know that Dan loves
me as well.

I did and still do love your mother Cal, but it is a different love
now. Janey and I are forever bound together because of you and your sister,
our love created both of you. Danny and I are bound together because we
want to be together, we each need the other, emotionally and
physically. That is where the sex part comes into play.

Sex itself can be lots of fun. Like you two, I know that you care about
each other but you're too young to really be in love with each
other. Having sex with each other is fun, it feels so darn good and there's
the thrill of the taboo of two guys doing it together.or one another, but
it lacks the emotional component that 'being in love' adds. That's when the
earth moves for you, when you make love to to your special someone. Sex
between two people who are in love is this fantastic bonus you get from
loving that person. You can live with, and even love a person without
sexual relations but it is a very different type of love. Sexual
fulfillment is a healthy and necessary part of being a healthy human.

You guys are so young. Please, don't be in a rush to put a label on
this. You're experimenting, and that is a natural part of young guys
growing up. You've got this fantastic body part that you can play with and
it makes you feel so good. It can feel even better when you have someone to
play with it for you. You're still finding out who you are and what you
want to be. There's no need for you to put a label on yourselves yet.

But there's nothing wrong in what you do together. I admit I am surprised
by what you've told me but I'm not at all shocked. It's a natural
occurrence between friends your age. There are no set ways for any two
people to experience sex with a partner. Just put the two naked bodies of
two people who truly care for each other together and human nature will
take care of the rest. The human form is designed so that there are
multiple ways that very gratifying sex can be achieved. Once you are in
love you will learn how to love your partner sexually and emotionally as
well."

"Any questions boys?"

"Wow Dad...you make it sound like it's just as natural and a girl and a
guy."

"That's because it is just as natural Callum, and at your age, it is more
common than a girl and guy doing the same things. Young men experiment with
each other. It's been going on forever. The un-natural part is that gay
people must keep their sexual preference a secret. Homophobia exists and is
even nurtured by some, and it isn't legal for us to marry the person we
love, yet."

Sean spoke up...

"T...Thank you Mr. C...I really appreciate what you've told us. I was all
messed up thinking I was a sicko freak because I really do like doing what
Cal and I have done together. Either way, gay or straight I know I can be a
normal guy. Thank you again."

"Don't you let anyone tell you any different either, Sean. This old world
is full of gay men and women who are healthy, normal human beings."

"Sean, I can't speak for your family but as for Cal. this is the way it
is. Yours or his eventual sexual orientation will never be an issue in our
family. Your happiness and your leading a productive and successful life is
the goal for Janey and I as parents. It's our job to love and nurture our
children to adulthood, with enough guidance and educations to achieve your
goals, not the goals of your parents."

"I can only hope that your family feels the same Sean, for that is what you
deserve."

"Okay guys, grab up a plate and load it up. Let's eat."

After dinner the boys cleaned up and we watched a ballgame on TV then they
had to leave. Cal hugged me tight and kissed my cheek...

"Dad you're just the greatest. I love that I can come and talk to you about
stuff like tonight.I love you, Pops."

"Thanks son I love you too." To my surprise Sean hugged me too.

"I wish I could feel as close to my Dad as I do to you Mr. C. I just hardly
ever get to see him more than a minute or two at a time."

"I wish that too Sean."

I made a mental note to get more info from Cal about Sean's home life. The
boys left and I closed up the house and went to my room. I set out my
clothes for the weekend and packed my personals in the carry all. My Friday
workday went by quickly for a change and suddenly it was Friday afternoon
and I was on my way to home to Danny.

As I drove I thought about Sean, Cal's friend missing his Dad and trying to
figure out what I could do for him without meddling. Before I could get it
figured out I was at the exit to Dan's house and I phoned Dan to let him
know I was here As I pulled into the drive the garage door was up and Dan
was standing there waiting for me. My face hurt from smiling so big, my
heart was beating a mile a minute just looking at him waiting for me. We
were locked in a kiss before the door was all the way down. Two days
without him seemed an eternity.

"Only 25 more days to go. I'm marking off the days until you're here with
me for good."

"I know babe, me too."

In our bedroom we just fell onto the bed hugging each other
tightly. Gradually the need for full body contact eased and we could
function without constant touching. I went to check the Fridge and found
that we needed a run to the market for the weekends meals.

We ran into Charles the Professor and received his cool hello. I asked Dan
not to tell him about my job and lets just wait and see his reaction when
he sees us at a Faculty function.

With the Market cart loaded for the weekend we checked out and made our way
home. While I made our dinner Dan's daughter and son called, making him a
happy Dad. We were sitting in the kitchen eating our dinner when Dan
mentioned that tomorrow night he was taking me out for our celebration
dinner. My new job and our new life together and I was moving here in 3
weeks.

Danny told me how this town had welcomed General Motors when Corvette
Production was moved here. GM Executives were given preferential treatment
just about everywhere.

They were given Country Club Memberships and could get a table at any
restaurant with their business card. Also they received several free rounds
of golf per month and passes to shows and concerts. Privately the GM folks
were just happy to be here. The people, the weather and the entire state
were head and shoulders above the previous site. All the free gifts and
instant access completely amazed them and made them feel so very welcomed.

For out Saturday evening out Dan had reservations at the City Club and we
went out for our first evening on the town together. Our dinner was
fabulous and the service the best I had ever experienced. We left at 10:30
very satisfied and content. At home Dan asked if I was up for a surprise
and I agreed. He told me to change into my sexy jeans and a tee or a tank
top.

"we're going dancing tonight at the gay club near WKU!

It had bee two or three lifetimes ago that I last danced but tonight was
Danny's night to wine and dine me. Dancing we would go.

I had been in gay bars of course but always on the make and alone. Tonight
was the first time with my partner. We had a ball dancing and flirting with
each other like we'd just met. Other guys kept trying to cut in or ask us
separately to dance with them but we declined saying we were on our
honeymoon. After about three hours I said to Dan...

"let's go home babe, I'm too horny to dance anymore. I want your naked
furry body on me filling me up with that big cock in your pants."

We were out the door and in the car in a flash.

"wow babe, that was fun...I don't think I've ever danced that hard or that
long before. I'm completely soaked with sweat...we'll have to jump in the
shower before we get all sweaty and sticky again. Thanks for tonight Danny!
What a ball! You know I'm crazy about you, always have been, always will
be. I love you Dan. With all my heart I love you."

A nice warm shower with the one you love can cure a lot of nagging aches
and pains. The feel of his skin slick with the water cascading down on us
was so erotic. It didn't take Dan very long to have me flush against the
shower wall while he probed deep into my guts with his hard, insatiable
cock. The cool tile, the water, his hard cock filling me and his warm skin
against my backside brought me to climax quickly. My cock was up against my
belly and my body flush against the tile as my semen coated both the wall
and me. While my ejaculation was emptying my testicles, Dan's cock filled
my ass with his seed. I was spent, I don't remember making it to the bed.

We were awake at eight on Sunday Morning, I made coffee quickly and we
scanned through the paper with our first cup. I refilled our cups and
started bacon to frying and prepared the ingredients to make us French
Toast. We ate and read the paper, seemingly oblivious to the other but
under the breakfast table our feet and legs were entwined as always.

Janey called about one in the afternoon to let us know that the wedding was
set for the fourth of July weekend.

"That's great Janey and it's about time too. So whats the plan?" I asked.

"We're having the ceremony here at home with just Jerry's Mom and Sister
and my Mom, Cal and Suze. TJ, I know this is going to sound strange but I
wanted to warn you, Jerry may ask you to be his best man. He's asked me
about it. He thinks you're just about the coolest guy on the planet with
the way you've accepted him into the family with your friendship and
kindness. I'm okay with it too, I'd like you to be there, Dan too if he
wants to come, He's family now as much as Jerry. Cal and Suze both think
it's a great idea."

"Really? Well if he asks I'll say yes. It does surprise me in a way but if
the roles were reversed I could see me doing the same thing. He's a great
guy. Gosh, tongues will wag in the Village when they read that in the
paper. What about the honeymoon?

"That's where you and Dan come in. Can you have Cal and Suze with you that
next week after the wedding.?

"I'm sure but let me ask Dan right quick...hold on a sec."

I ran it by Dan and he was all for it, saying we could get his two over
here at the same time and let them get to know each other.

"it's all a go Janey, we'll get Dan's kids here too so they can meet and
get to know each other. Cal and Suze can drive up in your SUV and we'll
follow in our car. That way Cal can get experience on the Interstate with
me watching. Maybe I wont be so anxious about him driving on it if I
observe from another car."

"I've been worried about that too. It will be better knowing your right
there with them. A little better anyway." she said.

"Congratulations sweetie, you know how happy I am for you. Give my congrats
to Jerry too and it's fine if he asks me to be there as his Best Man. We'll
talk more later in the week. I wonder how Dan and I will cope with four
teens in the house?"

"Ha! Payback is hell TJ, Bye for now" she laughed as she hung up.

Dan and I went to Nashville for the wedding and I stood with Jerry as his
Best Man as he married my best friend and my ex-wife.

Back in Bowling green, Callum and Suzannah met Connor and Malin for the
first time and Dan and I just sat back and watched. Cal and Connor were
talking sports in about 30 seconds and we were pretty sure that Malin and
Suze were talking about boys. They're 15 year old girls, what else would
they talk about. Well, all four could talk about their gay fathers sitting
in the TV room and I'm sure the subject came up over the weekend.

We had them for a week so Dan and I devised a plan so that all of them
would have equal time with their Dad. We alternated with me taking the
girls one day, him the boys and we would switch the next day. We had a list
of things to do that they chose from and the first day all six of us went
to the Beach Bend amusement park. The girls went to the pool at Dan's club
one day, the boys took a tour of WKU with me.

After dinner on the second day I was on the deck, oddly alone for a few
minutes. I was sipping a drink and thinking about jumping into the pool
when Cal walked out to join me.

"There you are, hiding out Pops?"

"Not really, I just realized that I was alone for the first time this
week. Have a seat Son.

I was also thinking about jumping in the pool about two minutes ago."

"Really? I'll race ya." Cal said.

'Wait...TIME OUT! I have to take off my watch and empty out my wallet and
cash before I jump in." I said as I emptied my pockets and ran to beat Cal
into the water.

"Cheater" he yelled as he cannon balled me.

We were horsing around splashing about and the next thing I knew Connor,
Dan and the girls all were jumping in the water. We were all laughing and
the boys hoisted Dan and I to their shoulders and we fought trying to
unseat the other into the water. Dan won and then he and I got the Girls up
for a while. The last battle was Malin on Connor, Suze on Cal and Me on
Dan. We all had a super time and it did a lot to bring our children closer
to each other. They all seemed to get along well and even liked each other.

Dan and I managed to get away from the battles and sat on the edge of the
pool., our feet touching under the water.

Dan turned to me and said...

"would you look at us! this time last year who could have ever guessed that
you and I would be here, together, in love again, and our kids here with us
having a great time together. It's hard to comprehend how quickly this has
all happened to us TJ. I feel like we are the luckiest tow men in the world
today."

"We are the luckiest guys in the world Danny, we have been since that
Saturday night in

May when we met again at the reunion. Think about it. We've both led a
charmed life since that night."

A charmed life indeed. Janie and Jerry were married , we closed out my
house in Nashville, storing the furniture and items we couldn't fit into
the house in Bowling Green. I listed my house with a Realty company and
they took care of the rental and maintenance. With the kids help I finally
got moved to Bowling Green and the next Monday would start my work with
WKU.

For Dan and I our life together only got better now that we were living
together. We both were busy with work but our weekends were our free time
and we made the most of it spending most of them with his children or mine
or all of them at the same time. Janey and Jerry visited a couple of times
and Mary Ann, Dan's ex-wife even came over to meet Janey and Jerry. After
that visit, Mary Ann and Dan got along together much better and it showed
most in Connor and Malin. Both of the became much happier, more confident
and better students. At the end of the school year Dan and I were
astonished to learn that we had four honor students in our family.

Both of us realized our exceptional good fortune and were careful to live
our lives so that our entire family could benefit. We are happy, we have
fantastic support from our families, good jobs and warm and loving home and
best of all, each other. Yes, we are living charmed lives indeed.

The end.

It was a lazy Saturday morning and I was drowsing on the sofa, not awake,
but not asleep either. Somewhere far off I heard a phone ring as I drifted
off again. There was a voice, someone far away talking at first but it was
getting louder, coming nearer.

"Hi, Janie how everything in Nashville? Suze doing great in school as
usual"

"Yes, I don't have to worry about her it's my errant son that keeps me
awake at night, Dan. Have you guys seen him lately? He hasn't called his
mother in two weeks! Is TJ home?

"Cal was over for dinner night before last, he's well. TJ is asleep on the
sofa, let me wake this slug up for you. Good talking to you and before I
forget...thanks again for your talks with Mary Ann. It's beginning to look
like we can be friends again. That is all your doing and my kids and I
cannot thank you enough. Here's a groggy TJ for you. See you soon I
hope. My best to Jerry."

"TJ it's Janey..WAKE UP!!"

I bolted upright wide awake, grabbing for the phone! "Is everything okay?"
I said, panic in my voice.

"Yes, calm down TJ it's okay, how are you...Suze sends her love, Jerry says
hi, and I say you need to talk with your son. Callum hasn't called his Mom
in two weeks. I'm not built for this TJ, a mother hen needs her chicks in
the nest or at least checking in once in a while."

"I didn't know Janey. I'll straighten him out as soon as we hang up. How it
going for you and Jerry?"

As Janey rattled on about her new marriage; I heard the door and Dan
talking then I saw Cal poke his head into the TV room, I motioned him in
and pointed to a seat. When Janey stopped for a breath I handed him the
phone, my hand over the mouthpiece.

"Apologize to your mother for not calling her for two weeks Callum." I saw
him pale.

"er...Mom? Hi it's Cal...yes ma'am, I'm sorry. I just got here and Dad
handed me the phone. I got caught up in studying and team practice, I wont
let it happen again, I promise. Yes Ma'am. give Suze a hug for me and Jerry
too. Sure, here's Dad again, love you Mom."

"Hey, I'm awake now. Your son will call his Mom at least once a week from
now on, I'm sure of that.

How's my baby girl doing, I can't believe she'll be off to college in a few
months. We have a bedroom here for you and Jerry anytime you want. Dan and
I mean that Janey, come and see your kids when ever you want, really"

After a few more minutes I hung up and looked sternly at my son.

He hung his head. "I know Pop's, I just forgot, I got caught up in school,
the team and other things on my mind and I forgot to call home. I wont
forget again, I promise."

"Okay son, now just what are these 'other things' that have been on your
mind. I assume you want to talk about it, you knew I'd zero in on that part
of your statement. We're very much alike in many ways Cal."

He looked at me and then away quickly and I heard him say "yeah, more alike
than you know Dad."

Looking at him I stayed silent, I just raised an eyebrow asking the silent
question.

Cal saw it and smiled, then laughed. "no fair, that's Mom's big move, the
raised eyebrow!"

I stayed silent, just looking at him.

"It Sean Dad, well more precisely, Sean and me. It's been two years now and
I can't stop thinking about him, wanting to just be in the same room with
him. He's like a part of me, I guess I am gay Dad. I'm gay for Sean for
sure. I just want to be with him. It's not just the sex either, I could do
that here, I get offers at least twice a week. It Sean that I want to be
with. He's pretty much feels the same as I do. All we want is to be
together like we always were up until we started college. I know I can't
transfer there and I wouldn't want too unless that's the only way I'll ever
get to be with him. I want him to transfer here, he's a great student, on
the Dean's List every semester since he started, and in freaking Computer
Science! He's really smart Pops. But I don't know how his folks are gonna
take this news."

"First a few questions Cal, does Sean want to transfer here"

"Yes Pops, for me and for you, he misses you almost as much as he does
me. You remember that story with his Dad."

"Okay Cal, next, do Sean's folks know about you and Cal wanting to be a
couple?"

"No way Pops, we think his Dad might flip out if we told him. We thought we
should just keep being 'friends ' and just room mates to his folks for a
while. It's really sort of a natural thing for us to do."

"Okay, I'll do some digging, but I'm fairly sure that I can get a 'gifted
student' scholarship offer together to offer to Sean. That way his folks
will get a financial break, WKU will get a great student and with any luck
we'll all live happily ever after. I'll call Sean's Dad. I'll be straight
up with him too, Cal. I'll tell him that you've told me that Sean would
like to transfer here to WKU mainly because of the two of you being so
close and being apart is not good for either of you.. Then I'll mention the
scholarship offer. That part isn't your Dad pulling strings either Cal. All
Faculty and Staff are trained to be on the look out for the 'gifted student
prospect," we all have these options. Have Sean Fax or email me his
transcripts ASAP. The timing is right as it is almost semester end and a
perfect time to make this move. I guess that maybe you might get that off
campus apartment a year earlier that we had planned."

"Dad, I know I need to talk with Mom about this being gay and all, but when
would be the best, I know it'll be okay with her, but you know her
best. Should I wait or do it right away?"

"Why don't you wait a while Cal, at least let a semester of living together
go by. Callum, I appreciate your doing this yourself, you're being a man
about it, I like that."

"Dad! This business with Sean getting transferred. You can really make all
this happen?

"I definitely can Callum."

"Oh migod...you call his Dad, please, talk him into this. I promise my
grades will be better too. Sean makes me study harder to keep up with
him. Oh...Dad... this is so great, thank you so much. You know we love you,
Sean and me. Oh jeez, I gotta call text him now and tell him to call me
ASAP.!"

The gloomy Cal had disappeared and he was elated. I thought back to the
reunion when I knew that Dan and I were going to be together and I gave Cal
a bear hug.

"I know exactly how you feel son, Dan was/is my Sean."

Just as his name was off my lips Dan walked into the TV room and stood
beside me. I put an arm around his waist and pulled him closer as Cal
started to leave, he stopped and turned back to face us, raised his phone
and said 'smile' and took our picture.

"Thanks, I don't have a picture of my Dads" he said, turning to leave
again.

"Bye Dan, bye Pops, keep me posted will ya...and thanks a million."

I turned my head to look at Dan, he bent and gave me a light kiss.

"what was that all about TJ?'

"I'll give you the details later but quickly, Cal has decided he's in love
with Sean, they both want Sean to transfer to WKU, I'm going to get Sean's
Dad to agree and then we'll make it happen. Cal says he's gay, at least
"Gay for Sean" were his words. He knows that it could change but doesn't
think it will. We'll begin looking to find them an off campus apartment
soon."

"Golly you work pretty fast there TJ. So... I know you're okay with this
but still it's got to do something to you, if I know my TJ you're feeling
pretty proud of Callum right now. Not for being gay, but for being the man
he is."

"Yes! You know your man Dan. That is exactly what I am feeling for that
boy."

"Now, what do you want for your dinner tonight Danny?"

"How about I take you to dinner at 440 Main and then a little dancing at
Club Fly, like old times and when I get you home that cute little butt of
yours is all mine."

"Beat's the dickens out of cooking, I'm in, Babe. Dancing? Really?"

"Yes really, we need to bust out every once in a while....shake off the
cobwebs, Show these young punks a couple of real men. We'll come back here
to change and stuff that butt of yours into those jeans that make me so
crazy, then hit the club."

* * * * * * *

Cal's phone rang before he got back to his dorm. "Hey Babe, I got your
text...what's up?" Sean asked.

"Sean...it's amazing, you're coming here for the next semester. My Dad is
going to talk to your folks, but get this Sean, Dad's getting you a 'Gifted
Student Scholarship', and he already said we would look for an off campus
place for you and me. I told you Dad would fix it. Babe we're gonna be
together finally!"

Cal could hear Sean's sobs...

"No babe, don't cry it gonna be alright, you and me like we're supposed to
be. Baby, I 'm leaving now, I'm driving down and you're coming back with me
tonight, we'll celebrate, grab a bite, go dancing, I just gotta hold you
tonight. See you in less that two hours sexy! Damn...I'm so happy I might
be able to fly there. You're my guy Sean. My guy!"

Callum had to calm himself, he knew he couldn't get a ticket for speeding,
or reckless driving. NO, he had to be Callum, the good kid, but his heart
was so full, he was so excited. He would sleep tonight with Sean in his
arms, and soon it would be every night. He didn't know what he would do yet
but he had to do something for his Dad for making this happen.. He kept
running ideas through his mind and suddenly he was at Sean's dorm. He
parked the car and ran to Sean's room, seeing that Sean's room mate was out
he pulled Sean into a passionate kiss and Sean melted onto Cal's body. When
they broke from the kiss both of them were teary eyed.

"you're packed and ready Babe, lets go."

They talked the entire trip back to WKU, Sean had sent a text message to TJ
to thank him and told him that he and Cal would come by to say Hi before he
went back to school. Cal's roomie was away for the weekend and as soon as
they were in his room they were on the bed, making out like crazy. They did
refrain from full blown sex, wanting to wait until bedtime. They decided on
dinner and caught an early movie, reveling in being together. It was a
little after eleven when they left the movie and Cal drove straight to Club
Fly.

Inside the club they got soft drinks and sat side by side at a table in the
quieter section on the club. It was past midnight when Cal pulled Sean up
and they started to the dance floor. As they got closer they could hear the
crowd over the music shouting, cheering, whooping and yelling,

There was a large group standing in a circle clapping, yelling jumping in
to dance with the two shirtless guys in skin tight Jeans, both were shiny
with sweat. Cal was looking back trying to get them another drink when Sean
tugged on his arm...Cal looked to Sean who's mouth was hanging open and he
was pointing to the dance floor. Cal looked where Sean pointed and got the
shock of his young life as he saw his Dad and Dan dancing like teens and
looking like them too. He just stood there, mouth hanging open. Sean had
recovered enough to be laughing and clapping along with the crowd. He
pulled Cal down and said in his ear...

"Damn! Would you look at those two. I hope you're that hot when you are
your Dad's age. He and Dan are smokin'. They can dance too! Come on Cal, we
can out dance your Dad and Dan!" as he pulled Cal toward the dance
floor. When they got there, Sean told Cal, you take Dan, I'll take your
Dad. GO!"

Simultaneously they each tapped the shoulder of the guys. I turned and saw
my son waiting to dance with my partner Dan and Dan saw Sean waiting to
dance with me. We were two very surprised men as Cal danced with Dan,
deftly avoiding the body contact Dan and I had been doing. Sean wrapped his
arms around my neck and hugged me, then kissed my cheek as he thanked me
for all I had done today. The crowd began dancing again and the four of us
switched partners so that each was with his mate. After a few more minutes
we all left the floor and got fresh drinks and headed for the quieter
section. After the initial laughs and jokes I looked across to Sean then
Cal. Did you go get him this afternoon?

"I had to Pops, I was so happy when I left your place, I sent him a message
and when he called I just took off to get him. We went to eat and then to a
movie and then the club. Imagine our surprise when we get to the dance
floor and we see these two half naked studs dirty dancing and gathering a
crowd to watch them. You two are the hottest two guys in this place
tonight. No one here would believe how old you guys are, Hey we could go
tell the DJ to announce their ages, like it's their birthday or something."

Cal got up and I yelled. CAL! SIT!

Cal, Sean and Dan were all laughing hard and I finally joined in. After
they calmed down I looked to Dan and said..."nobody would believe him. Look
at this!" He said pointed to Dan's pecs and six pack.

Dan Spoke up...

"Hey Cal, Sean why don't you guys stay with us, tonight the 3rd bedroom is
far enough away that TJ and I wont keep you guys awake and the bed is
bigger and more comfortable than a dorm room. We can all have one of TJ's
famous brunch feasts around noon. Yes I'll help you TJ, I promise."

Cal and Sean both looked to me and I nodded yes and said. "Sounds like a
good plan to me."

Sean and Cal were all smiles. Then Cal pulled Sean close and kissed him
right in front of me. He turned to look and Dan and I.

"Sorry guys, sometimes I just can't stop myself. I have to touch him, kiss
him to make me know it's real, that I'm not dreaming. That he really and
truly is my guy."

I saw the look on Sean's face. It was mixed with his adoration for Cal and
his fear that Cal has crossed the line by kissing him here with Dan and I
watching. I kept looking till Sean noticed, then I winked at him and nodded
my head yes. Sean relaxed and remembered hi talk with Mr. C back when they
were in High School about Sean loving Cal. He smiled, remembering, and
nodded back to Mr. C.

Dan looked at Cal. "I know that feeling all too well myself Cal. It's the
first thing every morning and the last every night. Your Dad and I were
apart for so long and for the last 5 years we were apart I was obsessed
with finding him and dreaming about him often, I have to check and make
sure it isn't still a dream. When I touch him and hold him I"m content and
about the happiest guy on the planet with TJ here."

I spoke up.

"Hey guys, Dan and I are ready to head back to the house. We'll leave the
door unlocked for you guys."

"No Pops, we're ready to leave too, there's a lot more fun to be had in
that back bedroom than at this place. "

Dan laughed..."no denying it, you are your father's son. I heard him say
those same words more times than I can count in the past four years."

Cal and I were both blushing and Dan and Sean roared with laughter. Dan
looked over to Sean.

.."it seems that you and I may have what these two horn dogs are after
Sean, think we ought to hold out on them or just give in.?"

"It's your call for you guys Mr. D, but I have to tell you. I can't say no
to Callum, never could. Even as little kids in the sand box I couldn't say
no to him. I think I loved him back then too."





* * * * * *

After saying their good nights and thanks, Sean and Callum went to their
bedroom. Both a bit apprehensive with Cal's Dad just down the hall but
excited to be in a real queen sized bed together. All of their previous
encounters had been on cots and dorm beds. At first both were a little shy
but some kissing soon got their libidos into high gear and in no time they
were tearing off their clothes; Cal was the first to be completely naked
and Sean sat on the bed staring at Cal.

"We've never been so openly naked together before, you are so beautiful
Callum. Your muscles, those ABS! You are just perfect to me. Seeing you
like this makes me so hard I ache. I 've dreamed about us being like this
for so long and now it's happening."

"oh Sean, it's been torture being away from you for so long. Come here, let
me unwrap my prize." Cal gasped as he reached for the button on Sean's
jeans.

Sean was almost eight inches shorter than Callum, his head fit perfectly
just under Cal's chin. Cal bent to his knees as he lowered Sean's
boxers. He sat back on his heels and took in his waist level view of his
guy. Sean's hard cock was pointed straight at Cal's face. He leaned in and
buried his face in Sean's trimmed pubic bush, inhaling deeply, savoring the
aroma of Sean. Raising his head up he slowly turned Sean and he gasped
aloud at the sight of Sean's round, tight little butt. He reached and
pulled Sean to him by the waist as he caressed and kissed those perfect
butt cheeks. One hand reached around and cupped Sean's balls and tugged
them tight making him moan. Cal rose to his feet and turned Sean in his
arms. He cupped the handsome face in his hands and gently kissed his lips.

"Sean, I love you babe, I guess I always have, I remember thinking in
grammar school how cute you were, I've always felt empty when you're not
with me. Now, starting next semester we will be together

like we are supposed to be. Come lie down with me Babe, let me make love to
my guy. It's your night babe, you get anything you want and as long as you
want me to do it."

"Thanks, it's an easy choice Cal, I want you inside me. That is what I'll
always want Callum. You, inside me. I'll walk around school now thinking
Callum Clarke's inside me, no one else can say that."

They stretched out on the bed facing each other and bodies touching from
lips to Sean's toes, as the kiss deepened and grew more demanding Cal
rolled Sean onto his chest. Sean reached for the lube on the night stand
and first coated his anus, even squirting a generous amount inside
himself. When they

broke from the kiss he rose and sat on Cal's thighs and coated his penis
liberally with the slick liquid.

Smiling at Cal Sean raised him self on his knees and placed Cal's throbbing
hardness at his entrance. Staring into Cal's eyes he lowered himself onto
Cal's throbbing cock. Slowly he sank his perfect little butt onto Cal's
hard cock. When Cal's pubic hair ground against his anus Sean came alive,
circling his hips, then a furious back and forth motion that had them both
moaning and gasping. Staying connected Sean leaned forward and kissed his
lover, a deep soulful kiss that only love could produce. A lifetime
together gave them the emotional bond that not even many adults share, one
that only time together can create. They fit together as lovers like two
older men who had been together for years, their love and the emotion they
for each other transcended their youth and gave them an understanding that
what they shared was a love well beyond their years. Not quite twenty years
old and already they knew a deep and abiding love for each other.

"SEAN...NOW...OH MIGOD...BABY...IT"S COMING... SEAN...NOW...MIGAWD!!!
OH...OH...YES

...AWWWW...OH FUCK...YEAH...FUCK THAT COCK ...RIDE IT...AWWW BABE YOU'RE
MAKING ME CUM...SEAN!!!...NOW... I'M CUMMING...FEEL IT...SO HOT...OH
BABE!!! OH...

The sight of Cal's face in orgasm sent Sean over the edge. His first shot
of cum hit Cal's chin, the second went over Cal's left shoulder and the
third hit squarely between his pecs. More cum pooled in the ripples of
Cal's abs as Sean collapsed atop him. Cal's arms automatically wrapped
around Sean, lovingly holding him close and kissing Sean's neck and ear. He
felt Sean's body shiver and he pulled the Duvet over them, all the while
his softening cock stayed inside his lover. They slept.

* * * * * *

Dan looked at me sitting beside him and said.

"Strange isn't it, seeing your son being so open about his relationship
with Sean. I do think that they are truly in love Tommy, as young as they
are, they've had a lifetime together already. Sort of like two other guys I
know. But this time, thanks to you. These two wont suffer through fifteen
years apart, wanting and yearning for the other."

I just nodded yes and laid my head on his shoulder. "Thank you Danny, for
loving me, for being my strength, my hopes and dreams, everything. That's
what your are babe, you're everything to me.."

"Let's shut down the house and get to bed baby. I need to hold you close to
me, feel you there with me. That's when I'm happiest, in bed holding you
tight to me so you can't be taken away. You're my guy Tommy, always were,
always will be."

We striped and climbed into our bed face to face our bodies in contact, arm
and legs entwined about each other. Since we reunited every so often Dan
would call me 'Tommy' which is what he called me as a little kid, but every
time he calls me Tommy it makes me melt inside. It's an endearment I really
like and I can hear his love for me when he says the name. Dan pulled his
head back and gave me a tender gentle kiss that rocked me to the core. I
molded myself tighter to his body. When the kiss broke he moved between my
legs and with his hands at either side of my head he lowered himself and
traced his tongue from my forehead to my anus, rolling my legs up for this
last bit he licked and laved and stabbed his tongue into me. I was all over
the bed, his gorgeous, handsome face up my butt drives me crazy. This GQ
handsome stud is all mine.

Fingers were now plying my hole with lubricant; two, then three and when he
started the fourth I told him

"Now Dan..I want you in me now."

Wearing that silly little smirk of a grin that makes me weak, Dan knee
walked between my spread legs to my entrance. One last swipe of lube on his
cock and I guided him home. A gentle push and he was inside, stopping as
always to give me time, it only takes a few seconds now and I'm ready for
more. I locked my heels behind his butt and pulled him in. The way his cock
feels as it fill me up is one of my favorite things, he fills me to
bursting but at times it isn't enough. There are times when the only
possible way to satisfy me would be for all of him to crawl up inside
me. More cock, harder.

"Fuck me hard DANNY...FUCK IT BABE...DO IT DAN...god you feel so
big...ungh..babe..FUCK ME DAN...FUCK IT...FUCK THAT ASS...oh god baby...I
feel all of you...I love that big cock fucking me...DAN...DANNY...you're
fucking the cum out of me. OHMIGOD! DANNY...UNGH....UNGH ..UNGH ...OH
JEEZ...DANNY! FUCK IT FUCK IT...OH...OH...OH...YEAH...MY BABY...DO ME
...OOOOOHHHHHH MMMMIIIGGGOOODDD...DANNY...IT'S CUMMING...OOOHHH YYEESS OH
BABY, FEEL THAT DANNY THAT'S OUR LOVE...THAT"S HOW OUR LOVE FEELS...OH DAN,
Danny, My Danny, ummmm you make me feel so special...the way you love
me...oh baby,,,My Danny,,,My Danny, my love..."

Sometime before dawn Danny woke with me eating out his ass. He rolled to
this stomach and stuck his butt up for me to work on. The tongue stabbing
did the job and Danny was begging me to top him.

Danny didn't get fucked nearly as often as I did because that's the way I
wanted it. Tonight after that thorough rimming Danny wanted me to fuck him
hard..

"Saddle up Cowboy, I'm riding that cock hard tonight. I've got an itch down
deep and you've got just what I need to scratch it Tommy...do me babe. Fuck
your Danny, you know you want too babe."

I still took my time with Dan, he wasn't nearly as adept or practiced at
the anal entry as I am and I didn't want to hurt him. Bless him, he tries
so hard to keep me from seeing he's in pain each time we do this. But I
bide my time and soon he's ready for more. This is the best part for me,
the long, slow and Delicious slide into the heat of his bowels, I'm always
surprised and amazed at his heat and the sensations that dance around the
head of my cock on the slide into him. Then that moment when I'm as far as
I can go and he grinds hard against my cock, his eyes fly open and he has a
triumphant look on his handsome face, he's done it, all of me is in him. He
knows that I'll send him to that pleasure place now. He's anxious, circling
his butt, grinding against me, he wants me to hurry and get him to the
pleasure place.

There's nothing for me but to do as he wants...it isn't in me to deny him
anything he wants from me. I pick up the pace and slightly alter my angle
so that now I massage his hot button with ever move of my cock inside
him. Working his prostate gets him urgent, the sweat pops out and the look
on his face changes, he's serious about this fuck, he knows now the feeling
is coming, just a little more work and we'll be there. I slow a little and
he urges me to go faster, the look he gives me is priceless, full of love,
full of lust and there's a pleading look that begs me to hurry and get him
there.

"OH migod TJ...yeah..that's it TJ...UNGH!!! HARD...FUCK ME HARDER...GIMME
ALL THAT BIG COCK...OOOOOHH YEAH...FUCK IT BABE...FUCK MY
BUTT...OH...OH...OH...TOMMY!

NOW...OH...OH...OH...TJ...OOOHHHMIGOD...UUUNNNGGGHH! YEAH!!!

Danny was there, he had reached that pleasure zone, that place where
nothing but my cock up his but mattered now. Fucking faster, fucking deeper
was all he cared about as my cock took him over the edge to the white hot
place where there was nothing but the orgasm in his bowels and the
incredible, indescribable, emotional one in his head. As the last pulse of
orgasm left him, his love for me flooded his heart and mind. I was the only
person who could give him that kind of pleasure and feelings he had just
experienced, his heart filled with his love for me.

Dan was still basking in the afterglow when he felt the warm washcloth
cleaning his torso, eyes still closed, he smiled, knowing what was coming,
as I tossed the cloth aside and snuggled my backside against Danny's front
side. Automatically Dan's arm crossed my chest and hugged me tightly to
him. As I squirmed and wiggled my butt against him settling into
position. We've slept this way since the night of the reunion, I imagine we
always will. Now we were both content as our bodies gave way to deep sleep.

* * * * * *

Dan gently knocked on the boy's bedroom door.

"Rise and shine guys...Brunch is ten minutes away."

Back in the kitchen TJ was at the stove and Dan finished setting up the
table and poured juice in the glasses and coffee into the cups. I was
plating up the Eggs Benedict as the boys came into the kitchen.

"Morning guys, did you sleep well?" Dan asked as they rubbed at their eyes.

"Yes! The luxury of a big bed like that was wonderful, I had to chase him
farther but still after Dorm beds, that was heaven." Cal answered.

Sean came over to me and gave me a big hug and a whispered 'Thank you' for
all I had done to make it possible for he and Callum to be together.. I
stopped and turned to hug Sean tight.

"there's nothing we wouldn't do for you Sean, you're one of us and we love
you. I couldn't bear the thought of the same thing happening to you and Cal
as it did to Dan and I."

"Yeah, I love you too Mr. C. I know I can always count on you."

We talked all through the meal and the boys thought that they'd go to the
campus and let Sean nose around for a while. See if there was anyone in the
Comp Sci Lab. Before they left they pitched in and cleaned the table and
loaded up the dishwasher while Dan and I sat on the patio; they came to say
they were heading out to WKU.

After they were gone Dan was staring at the detached garage out back. The
house had a built in garage in the front but this detached one was here
when Dan brought the property. He used it for his lawn and pool
equipment.. He turned to me finally.

"TJ what would you think about the boys living here. Not in the house...we
could easily make an apartment over or beside that old garage there. It
would increase the property value and keep the guys safe. We could add a
shed to the back for the pool and lawn stuff and they could use the garage
for their cars."

I leaned over and kissed Danny. "I like that idea a lot Danny, thank
you. We'll run it by them when they get back. I'm fairly sure they will
like that idea, so will Sean's parents. See why I'm so crazy about
you...you come up with the best ideas.'

"Speaking of Sean's folks, how did your talk with his Dad go?"

"Much better than I had hoped for, He asked to meet with me the next time
I'm in Nashville, Seems he's feeling guilty about not being the Dad he
wanted to be for Sean. If I were a betting man, I'd lay odds that Janie
talked with Sean's Mom and she lit into his Dad. Regardless, if it gets
them closer it doesn't matter who said what to whom.

They are thrilled that he will be getting a scholarship and a degree from a
much bigger school. They are also thrilled that Sean and Callum will be
together again. His Dad told me that they had noticed his sadness and were
fairly sure that it was because they were separated for the first time in
their young lives. He said it was like they had lost two sons with the both
away at college. Cal and Sean were always together for like 13 years until
college. I'm really glad his folks are on board with this transfer.

Oh...I forgot to tell you..I spoke with the head of our Computer Science
Program at WKU about offering Sean the scholarship and he was over the
moon. He's heard of Sean and some of his work done for special projects and
competitions. Sean's software program drove APSU's vehicle in the maximum
mileage endurance run last year. Sean was only a freshman and his software
won out over many others. It seem our Sean is a Computer Science Savant,
already known by other schools and he's only a Sophomore."

"Really, that's amazing, just looking at him one would never guess he's a
computer geek. You know those nerdy guys in his classes have to think he's
the mose handsome man on campus. They may be right, he is a handsome young
man. Back to the garage out there TJ... Maybe we ought to do an apartment
over the garage and another beside it. That way Janie and Jerry plus Sean's
folks could come and stay for a visit. Even Connor and Malin. They wouldn't
be in with the boys or with us. We can do the cooking here of
course...whatcha think?"

"I think I married a genius, Dan. It's a great idea. Take a wild guess
who's an award winning, widely respected residential architect, Danny"

"Gosh, do I know him or her? I don't have a clue Babe, who is it?

"Jerry! Janie's husband...we'll need to invite them up or talk with them
when we're next in Nashville."

"Damn, TJ Clarke, you are the most connected guy I've ever known. That is
great news. Say what a bout the main house here, while we're doing the
garage over anything we ought to do in the house here...The kitchen is a
given, that will be done, maybe an outdoor kitchen on the patio, we can ask
Jerry for suggestions. I''m getting into this...it could be fun. Oh
migod...it's a perfect excuse to get a wide screen flat panel TV!"

Cal and Sean came back while Dan and I were still on the patio, they
stopped in the TV room and looked out at the pair on the patio, sitting,
not talking just sitting there holding hands fingers interlaced just
enjoying the others touch. Sean circled Cal's waist with one arm and pulled
him closer.

"I'm so glad you are so much like him Cal. Both of them are such good
men. They deserve this happiness they share. Let go talk with them, I like
just being with them, their love for each other just spills out and fills
the air. Watching them, I see that you and I can live a happy and
productive life together."

Cal had a lump in his throat and couldn't speak yet, seeing his Dad and Dan
like this choked him up and finally having his own chance to be happy with
Sean almost made him cry. He just hugged Sean to him and let it wear off
before they went out to the patio.

"Hey guys, glad you're back , we've been daydreaming out here and have some
ideas we would like to get your opinions on. I'm going to let TJ do the
talking, you know how he is...I'd swear that he could sell a drink of water
to a drowning man!" Dan said.

"Sean and Cal both laughed at that. What are you up to now, Pops?" Cal
asked.

"First off, this is Dan's baby! His idea from the get go boys. We were just
sitting here when he turned and asked if I would like for you guys to live
here. Not in the house but in an apartment in that garage out there. We're
talking a bout a two bedroom unit for you guys and like an efficiency above
the garage for guests, Like your parents Sean, and yours Cal. That way we
wouldn't have them sleeping in the house with us and you wouldn't have them
in your apt. Privacy for everyone. But first off. Would you guys like to
live here this close to Dan and I, thats the big question. You wouldn't eat
with us all the time but often, at least once a week. I know Cal's Mother
would be relieved knowing his apartment was here. I'm certain that your
folks would prefer it too, Sean. But it is up to you guys. You would also
have garage parking for your cars, that's a big plus in these winters we
have here."

Cal looked to Sean who had a big smile on his handsome face. Cal chuckled,

"I guess I know what that smile means...Me too. I think it would be great
to live there he said nodding toward the garage and putting an arm around
Sean's shoulders, giving him a hug.."

Dan was beaming, "Settled then...now all we have to do is get Jerry to
design it for us. They may be up soon, Cal, we'll be calling them tonight
about drawing up the plans."

"I'll be calling your folks too, Sean to let them know that they are
welcome to come up to see you guys at anytime and we'll always have a place
for them." I told them.

"Cool, and thanks again Mr. C., Mr. D., You guys are just too much! I hope
that Cal and I turn out just like you guys. Hey Cal, lets raid the fridge
it's hours till dinner." and off the boys went into the kitchen.

I took Danny's hand again. "It really gets to me when they say things like
that, as young as they are and wanting to be like us. It's all you
Danny. Thank you for making me a happy man again. Since we've been together
I feel like I'm really living for the first time. Your love feeds me,
drives me, makes me want to rip your clothes and have you right here."

"That's the best idea of the day babe, come with me...."

As they entered the TV room Cal and Sean were cuddled up on the sofa
watching a movie.

"Don't mind us guys, we're going to our room for a while to rest before
dinner" I said.

Behind me Danny was hugging me, kissing at my neck and ear.

"Don't believe a word of it guys, we're gonna do the nasty...now" Dan
giggled as he pulled me toward our room."

I feigned alarm and whispered in a very soft monotone voice. "help...help,
I'm being abducted!" as Dan tugged me along the corridor and Sean and Cal
were breaking up laughing, on the sofa. They watched as I grabbed the door
frame to our room, faking not wanting to go in and Dan jerked me through
the door and yelled "AHA! MINE AT LAST!!!" and shut the door.

Sean was wiping tears from his eyes from laughing so hard. Cal too, he
hadn't ever seen that side of his Dad. It hit him then that his Dad and Dan
were just regular guys like him and Sean that had just gotten older, and
maybe not as grown up as Cal had thought. They still knew how to play and
have fun. Sean looked up at Cal and saw in his face the surprise and love
Cal had for his Dad.

"Now I know where you're goofy side comes from Cal. They're crazy!"

"No babe, I think maybe that I finally understand now. They're not
crazy...well maybe a bit...but mostly they're just in love Sean, that's all
it is...They're in Love."

* * * * * *

As soon as the bedroom door was closed, I had my arms around Dan's neck and
we kissed as we rocked gently side to side. After about a minute Dan broke
away and roughly pushed me onto the bed and grabbed at my waist, tearing
open my jeans with a pull then tugged them completely off.. He grabbed my
tee shirt at the collar with both hands and literally ripped it off my
body.

Surprised and highly aroused I let Dan have his way with me. He was all
over my body, He ran his tongue from just below my ear down my neck and
onto my chest, detouring to search for nips hidden in the dense brown fur
on my chest. Nipping one with his teeth while twisting and pinching the
other brought groans of pleasure from deep down inside me.

Dan continued his journey with his tongue tracing between those furry pecs
and over the washboard ripples of my abs. Here Dan stopped and lay his
cheek against the rippled stomach. Groaning with desire I said to him.

"you are so fucking hot, the sexiest man alive...this fab body, that
handsome face and that big ole cock that's mine to play with, gets me so
horny...god I love your big cock in me. I need it...NEED YOU. Dan's cheek
lay on that hard flat muscle just between the navel and the pubic
hair. That was the sexiest part of the male body to Dan. He loved it,
licked it, rubbed his face across it.

I NEED YOU NOW. Danny's hand was fumbling around in the bedside table
drawer, he pushed the bottle of lube into my hand. I laved my butt with the
slick liquid, a quick squeeze and some was inside me. I generously coated
my favorite toy with it and watched as he rose on his knees and maneuvered
into position. I reached for him and pulled his cock head to my opening,
pulling him down to devour his lips and tongue in the same motion.

"c'mere" I muttered, as I pressed our lips together in another kiss, our
mouths opened almost at the same second as our tongues gently probed the
others mouth. He was playing with me now, teasing as he would only make
short hesitant jabs never going deeply into me, holding back to taunt and
tease. I pulled on his thighs but he resisted, I arched up hard against him
making him penetrate deeply and still he pulled back, then as I begged him
he smiled and slowly slid his cock into the heat of my body, he whimpered
as I ground my hips in a circle and then pushed up against him.

"Fill me Danny, fill me up with my favorite toy, I love your big fat cock
in me babe. I LOVE IT!"

I shifted slightly and he was sliding his cock against my prostate, it only
took a few stokes against that magic spot to roll my eyes back and I let
the pleasure take me. There was no teasing now, he was frantically fucking
my ass like there would never be another time, sweat poured from us and I
was in my pleasure zone, nothing existed but Danny's cock plunging in and
out of my ass, never missing the prostate. Cum oozed our of my cock on
every stroke against my magic button, his stomach spread the cum and we
were slick as he slid in and out and against my cock with each
stroke. There is no other feeling in the world like this moment when the
love of my life slowly slides himself inside me. With him fully inside me I
clenched my body tightly squeezing his throbbing cock and he cried out my
name.

So very sensual, as we moaned and writhed, our flesh burning with desire
and I steadily pushed back on his cock inside me. I arched my back and
moaned aloud as my body froze and tensed every muscle and tendon. The first
twinges on our impending orgasm coursed through me. With a gasp he plunged
all the way into me, my hands reached for him and pulled him into a soul
searing kiss as I bucked and thrashed beneath him, impaled on this cock and
wanting more. All waiting was over, I rushed toward that bliss that was
creeping up from my testicles, that one brief moment when two souls joined
in the joy of oneness, the emotional and physical fulfillment of our
love. My cock was still spewing my come on my chest and stomach when Dan
collapsed onto me. I held him tightly as my orgasm subsided.

It was already dark outside when we woke and showered. Without words we
stood in the stream of water and held each other, grateful for the joy we
could give each other and thankful to have the privilege. In boxers and
tees we were drawn to the kitchen where wonderful smells filled the
house. Cal and Sean had prepared spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread
and our timing could not have been better, as the boys had just started to
plate their meal.

"well, glad to have you guys join us for dinner." Cal said laughing.

Dan stretched and stifled a yawn.

"I guess we fell asleep, sorry guys."

Sean looked at Dan then TJ and finally to Cal.

"Didn't sound like anyone was sleeping in there to me, right Cal?"

"I dunno Sean, maybe they just call out each others name in their sleep"

TJ and Dan were both blushing.

"Well kids, we're the Dads and what we say here goes. Our sex life is not a
topic for discussion. If the noise bothers you go outside. We're not about
to change what we do for you guys or anyone else. We're just making up for
the 15 years we lost, while we can."

"Aw Dad, we're just razzing you guys, we went out to the garage to see
where our new home will be when you guys closed your door. After we got
through poking around in the garage we went to the market and got dinner,
when we got back all we heard was snoring coming from your room! Next time
I hear it I'm going to record it. You guys snore in harmony!"

Sean spoke up.

"we're just happy that you two are so open with us, we love you both and
hope and pray that our our relationship grows into one as good as
yours. Really, we were just teasing. We wouldn't dare to listen to your
love making. That belongs only to you guys, we wouldn't presume...really we
wouldn't"

"Thank you Sean, Callum. It is a comfort to know you feel that way.we'll
speak no more of it." Dan said.

Dan's Son, Connor was selected pre-season OVC all conference in football in
his Junior year. Dan and I began to make plans to attend as many of his
games as possible. Mary Ann and Malin even planned to go with us a few
times as did Cal and Sean. Connor was a huge young man, he stood 6'6'' and
weighed 230 pounds with hardly an ounce of fat anywhere. He played
linebacker and seemed to be drawing the attention of some pro scouts. Dan
and Mary Ann found a common ground where they could enjoy and support their
Son and be friends again. His Daughter, Malin earned a full Art Scholarship
to the Kentucky School of Art at Spalding Univ. in Louisville. My little
girl (migod how she hates it when I say that) Suze is enrolled at WKU
majoring in Music, still singing with her band and they're getting noticed
in the local papers.

Janie and Jerry have been up a few times, Jerry's finished with the plans
for the Garagemahal out back, with a one bedroom unit above the garage with
an enclosed stairway for the winter time and a two bedroom unit at the side
of the garage with an entrance into the kitchen from inside the
garage. Last weekend Janey and Jerry came up with the finished plans and
left them with us to go over and decide if there were any changes we wanted
to make. Cal and Sean got really excited when they saw the plans.

When Janie comes to see her kids I give the kitchen over to her so she can
cook for them and she feeds Cal, Suze, Sean, Dan, Jerry and I every meal
while she's here. Dan and I do the clean up giving her and Jerry more time
with the kids. It appeases my conscious some. I've always felt guilty about
taking them away from her by getting a job at WKU and free college
educations for them as a perk of my employment.

Dan and I okayed Jerry's plans with minor changes and Dan called on a
friend who's brother was a contractor and after an interview and a look at
some of his work we contracted the job to him and had a crew at the house
working away in two weeks. Jim, the contractor turned out to be an
absolutely gorgeous hunk of man flesh. The first time Callum saw Jim he
walked straight into a doorway. Sean wasn't much better, Both of them
talked about him quite a bit. Dan talked with him more than I did and he
soon found out that Jim was 'family', he has a partner of nearly 10
years. He told Dan he was very flattered by the attention the young guys
(Cal & Sean) had given him. Dan told him about our story, which Jim thought
was both sad and happy. Dan and I decided that after the work was done on
the garage we would have Jim and his partner over for dinner, Dan and I
needed friends to socialize with other than family and co workers.

True to his word, Jim and his crew had the work finished in just under
three months. Dan and I were quite astonished at the finished product. We
had told Jerry that we wanted the place finished completely, decorated and
furnished. Jerry and Jim worked well together and we wound up with two very
beautiful, contemporary living quarters. Sean and Cal were over the moon
with their place and moved into it the very day it was finished.

Dan and I invited Jim and his partner for a saturday afternoon by the pool
and dinner afterward. Danny got a huge surprise when they arrived. Jim's
partner, Craig, worked at the Corvette plant with Dan in a department near
Dan's. Both gaped in surprise at seeing the other since neither had any
idea the other was gay. We all enjoyed a great dinner of Fillet Mignon and
Lobster Tails with drawn butter . Wel really enjoyed their visit and they
invited us to their place before they left that evening. After they had
gone, Dan was still amazed and shocked that Craig was gay. They had worked
together many times over the years on special projects with out a clue to
their shared proclivity for men. As I had feared they would, Cal and Sean
came to the house to say 'hello' to Jim, but I knew that they only wanted
another look at him and to see what his partner looked like.

The next morning Cal and Sean came for Sunday Brunch as usual we were
sitting around the table eating and chatting when Cal spoke up.

"I wish I had thought to take pictures last night, I swear, the four best
looking men in the state were right here last night. Jim's a hunk but
Craig! He's just beautiful."

Dan spoke to Cal.

"Did you hear that Craig is a co worker of mine at the Vette plant. I've
know him for ten years at least. Neither of us had any idea that the other
was gay. It's a small world, guys. Oh, yeah, Cal, you might have
miscalculated, when you guys came over there were six of the states best
looking guys in the room. Don't sell your partner or yourself short. You
guys know you're hot."

Cal and Sean were blushing,

"Mr. C, Mr. D...my Mom and Dad want to come to visit, will the guest
quarters be available this coming week end. Is it alright for them to stay
there?"

Dan and I both said "Sean!" in unison.

"Of course your folks can stay here, that's why we built it. Yes, it is
available for them to come, maybe I should call them and make sure that
they know the place is here for them, and even meals if they wish."

"Oh that's great. They kept asking if I was sure it is okay for them to
stay. I'm really excited about them coming, it will be my first full
weekend with Dad since I was 13 years old and we all went on vacation."
Sean added.

"I remember that trip, Cal went with your family on that vacation. His Mom
and I had some interesting discussions about him going with you. I hope I
can have a talk with your Dad while they're here Sean, I promise I'll
try. I know how much you miss him. Maybe Dan and I will double team him."

I saw that tears had welled up in Sean's eyes and I went to him and held
him close in a hug. "It's gonna be fixed Sean, don't worry. Your Dad thinks
you the best kid in the world. I found that out when we talked about the
transfer to WKU. He's just been caught up in the game of having a
successful career and providing for his family. One day you will realize
the pressure he has been under all these years. Bosses only care about
their bottom lines, their employees are there to bust their butts for the
company and their families are not part of the bosses thoughts or
cares. Your Dad just needs a reminder of what is really the most important
job of his life. His Son."

"er...uh...Dad! He's supposed to be hugging me for comfort and solace, can
I have my Sean back?"

Dan stepped in and turned Sean to Cal. "Here's your Sean back Callum."

Then he walked up behind me and put one arm across my chest and the other
across my middle and held me close against him. I lay my head back on his
chest.

"ummm you feel so good holding me like this babe. I turned in his arms and
stretched to kiss him when I remembered the boys. ..er...oh...sorry guys,
looks like we are going to have to cut this short, it seems that Dan and I
have some thing we need to do in the privacy of our bedroom. You guys go
swimming or something, we'll see you later."

Cal looked to Sean and just shook his head..."Pops is a horn dog Sean, a
freaking horn dog at his age!"

Sean laughed as I looked at them, "just making up for lost time guys,
besides, he's sporting my very favorite toy in the world. And we need to
get going before he shows it to the world."

Danny started moving backwards still holding me like you see criminals use
someone as a body shield, I laughed and said to the guys.

"to late boys, there's a hard object poking me in the butt...Is that a gun
in your pants Dan, or are you just glad to see me." I said.

"Yeah, if you don't hurry and come with me peacefully I may have to shoot!"
Dan said, breathing hard.

With that I bolted away from him and ran to our room. Danny immediately
dropped his hands to cover his hard cock and said to the boys.

"See you guys for dinner, and sorry you had to see this but like you said
Cal, 'your Pop is a horn dog.'

It's just one of a thousand things that make me love him so. See you guys
later"

I later learned that Cal and Sean stood there slack jawed at the spectacle
they had just witnessed. Their two Dad's getting horned up and running off
to their bedroom to make love.

Sean looked to Callum and said.

"I sure hope your Pop passed the horny gene down to you. That was sweet to
see and when you think about it, sexy as can be. Two 42 year old men horned
up and randy as a Billy Goat from just a hug!"

Cal grinned and hooked his forefinger into a belt loop on Sean's jeans.

"yeah Babe, I got a healthy dose of the horny gene too. Wanna come back to
our place with me and see what comes up."

As they neared the door Cal stopped and pulled Sean into a passionate
kiss. As it ended they just hugged each other tightly heads on the others
shoulder until their breathing had evened out. Sean reached behind him and
opened the door and bolted toward their apartment at the Garage at a full
run. Call trotted behind him laughing. Sean waited till Callum got to him
then opened the door, pulled Cal in and shut and locked the door in one
motion. He pinned Cal to the door frame as he kissed him deeply, unbuttoned
his jeans and yanked his Tee Shirt over his head.

Cal stepped out of the jeans and Sean led him by his hard cock to their
room. Cal reciprocated and undressed Sean and to his surprise Sean pushed
him onto their bed face down and lay atop his lover , arms spread to cover
Cal's arms, their fingers interlaced. His hairy chest against Cal's smooth
back, his aching cock pressed into the crack of Cal's buttocks. Cal lay
still reveling in being covered by Sean, his weight pressing Cal into the
mattress felt so good. As usual, when moments like this one happened, Sean
could almost cry, it was his happiness that made him so thankful and he
felt so blessed. Callum Clarke was all he had ever really wanted in his
whole life. He and Cal, together. It seemed that as long as he could
remember, he had loved Callum, even when he was too young to know what it
meant, he dreamed of them naked, clinging to each other.

They lay like that, each reveling in the touch of the other. Finally Sean
began kissing and licking Cal's body, He covered every inch of Cal's back
and shoulders, then ran his tongue down each bump of Cal's spine. He would
go a few inches down then lick back up, slowly working his way to the crack
of his buttocks. He caressed each cheek, kissing, kneading and finally
spreading them apart. The smell of soap and the man musk of Cal's crotch
filled his lungs and brought a whimper from his throat. He lightly blew a
stream of air across the cheeks and into the widespread crack and watched
as Cal's skin pimpled in goose flesh.

The first stab of his tongue into Cal's wrinkled opening brought a roar
from Cal' chest. To anxious to taste his Cal, Sean waited no longer, he
dove face first into Cal's butt, licking, laving, sucking at his
hole. After a few minutes he worked a finger into the tight hole. Cal
reached and gave the package of lubricant to Sean.

"mmmm Babe, here, slick me up good babe, I want you inside me Sean, I know
you prefer to have me fuck you, but Babe, I need you in me too."

Sean now had two fingers going in and out of Cal's butt.

"Oh Sean, oh baby, you feel so good, that feels so good. I love you Sean,
always have, always will. Ungh! More Lube...More fingers...ooooohh
babe...Your cock, please! Cal turned and lay on his back a pillow under his
butt and his legs splayed wide.

"Come Sean, I want you inside me, come fuck me babe, fuck your Cal, oooh
give it to me good...now...OOHH! OHMIGOD. YES...fuck me...deeper Sean,
harder. MORE...FASTER ohmigod."

Sean fought hard to keep from erupting as his cock slid into the inferno of
Cal's rectum. The sensations that he felt in the sensitive skin just below
his piss slit thrilled him. Finally he was in balls deep and Cal pushed up
and ground against Sean's hard cock inside him. Sean moaned loudly.

In just a few minutes Sean had established his rhythm, out slowly and
plunge deep fast and hard. It only took a few strokes until they were both
shiny with sweat, Cal was gone, away to that pleasure place that only a
good hard cock pistoning deep into your ass could take you. His entire
world was in his ass as his Sean pounded into him relentlessly,
Automatically Cal's body responded as he met the fast down thrust with his
hips thrown up to grind them together at the depth of his plunge. Cal began
a low sound deep within him and with each jab of Sean's hard cock Cal
yelled louder, It was a chant.

"fuck...fuck...fuck...fuck...fuck...FUCK...FUCK...FUCK...FUCK...OHMIGOD...SEAN...CUM
WITH ME...OH BABE...Gawd...ungh....YEAH...NOW...CUM...CUM...AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
OHGOD...

OH...I FEEL IT...I FEEL YOUR CUM...EVERY SHOT...OH BABE...FILL ME UP WITH
YOUR CUM...oh Sean...oh baby...I saw stars...I've never ever cum so
hard...Oh my Sean, my babe...oh...oh...

mmmmm...love you babe...you're mine...always mine...Cal loves his
Sean...mmmmm."

Three hours later Sean and Cal woke and carefully pried themselves apart
where the dried cum had glued them together...Sean pulled Cal from the bed
and they stumbled to the kitchen, Cal opened the fridge and lifted a carton
of milk and drank half of it straight from the carton. Sean poured himself
a glass of orange juice. They stood side by side , leaning against the
island and against each other. Cal looked over to Sean who met his gaze and
in seconds they were laughing uncontrollably. They laughed at how
ridiculously fantastic their orgasms had been, how spontaneously it
happened and with the joy of knowing they have each other. As the laughter
died, Cal stood and faced Sean, took his face in his hands and gave him the
most tender loving kiss he could muster. A whimper caught in Sean throat,
his eyes teared up. When they pulled apart tears streaked the cheeks on
both of them, They knew that they had just shared a very special
moment. That kiss was different, a benchmark, they were more solidly a
couple somehow, stronger, more bound together.

Across the back yard up at the house, Danny and I were doing much the same
thing, basking in the afterglow of our lovemaking, feeling so fortunate to
now have this chance to be together after so long apart. It was almost dusk
outside and I looked to see if the lights were on at the boy's place out
back. Seeing that the lights were on, he picked up the cell and called
Cal's number.

"Hiya Pops! What's up?"

"Not cooking tonight, we're going out to eat, you guys want to come along?
If you do we're going in your SUV Cal, we're too tired to even drive."

"Just a sec Pops" he covered the mouthpiece and ask Sean if he wanted to go
eat with the Dads and of course Sean agreed, he loved being with Dan and
TJ.

"Sure thing Dad...when and where"

"Dan mentioned Mariah's but it is too formal for us tonight so we settled
on the Buckhead Cafe on Campbell Lane, their menu is similar and we can
still get that fabulous Hawaiian Rib eye. Don't worry Callum, our treat,
that place could use up your food budget in one night. And we're ready
whenever you guys are."

"uh...okay...but we really need to shower first...Dad."

"Sure thing...us too...let's get at it then. We're hungry."

Cal laughed at his Dad.

"being such a horn dog makes you hungry Dad...later"

Danny walked in just as I closed my phone. He saw the crooked grin on my
face.

"The guys going with us? And what's with that smirky grin on your face.?"

"I told Cal that we were hungry and wanted to get going and he told me that
being such a horn dog made me so hungry. Its a vicious circle. You make me
Horny and then I get hungry, I eat to cure the hunger and then you make me
horny again. Hey...maybe this is all your fault!"

"Guilty as charged TJ, I confess. I like for you to be horny for me. It
makes me smile thinking about it and it makes me crazy mad for you when
you're making love with me. We need to shower fast you horny old pervert."

"Like I said Dan, it's your fault!"

Dan and Sean picked us up and we were off to the restaurant. After a brief
wait we were being led to our table when we spotted Jim and Craig, at a
table for two. I asked them if they would join us and then asked the waiter
if they could get a table for six with Jim and Craig joining them.

Throughout their meal the group of four adult and two college age men were
ogled by both male and female eyes. And the talk of these four incredibly
handsome men and two super hot teens would be the topic of discussion over
coffee and at the water cooler tomorrow morning. It wasn't hard to see that
Callum and TJ were related. Most thought them to be brothers instead of
father and son.

Both Sean and Cal had benefited greatly from being with Dan and I so
much. They joined in all the conversations and had the others asking their
opinions on a variety of topics that most teens don't k now or care
about. I beamed with pleasure thinking how these two kids had grown into
such good young men.

I noticed that Sean was a bit quieter and he was intent on catching ever
word and watching every move the men made, each gesture, the silent,
unconscious ways the two couples communicated and showed their affection
non verbally. I realized that he was studying us, making mental notes on
how to have a successful relationship. I smiled as I watched him, thinking
how lucky my son was to have him. Sean was going to make sure that he and
Callum had a every chance at making it work Sean's eyes swung to me and I
winked at him and gave him a thumbs up. He was surprised at first then
blushed red as he realized I knew what he was doing. I noticed Cal was deep
in conversation with Jim but he had one hand under the table holding Sean's
hand. I reached over and took Danny's hand under the table too. He looked
at me, one of those quick but full of meaning looks he gives me often, with
that quick glance he said 'I love you and want you with me forever'. It
made me feel warm and fuzzy all over. My cock even stirred a bit. A quick
squeeze of my hand and he was back talking with Craig.

When we were leaving after paying the tab Dan asked Jim and Craig to come
by for drinks, and maybe play some bridge. They followed as Cal drove us
home. When we arrived I headed for the kitchen and opened some wine and got
the liquor from the pantry. I pulled Dan aside.

"Dan would I be crazy if I let Cal and Sean have a glass of wine. I know
that they are under age but they're going to drink, I'd much rather it be
here at home with us than at a Frat party. They're smart and responsible. I
think it might be good if they know that they can have some wine with us. I
don't want them getting sloshed but they are mature enough to handle it
like adults, I hope."

"Tommy, you are the sweetest man I've ever known. You're right of course,
and not you aren't crazy. About the wine anyway."

"Good, when I have all the drinks made you carry the tray in and just set
the wine in front of the boys, and we'll see how this experiment goes."

"Sure thing babe, but it's gonna cost ya...gotta tip the waiter with a
kiss, TJ.."

"Run me a tab will ya, I'll make it worth your time when we go to bed big
guy."

Everyone but me got white wine and I had my gin on the Rocks with a
twist. The looks on Sean and Cal's faces when they lifted their glasses was
priceless. One sniff and Cal's eyes flashed to me. Sean's followed a second
later. I gave them both the 'raised eyebrow look' and nodded that it was
okay. Cal cracked up at the 'look'. That was his Mom's move and it made him
laugh every time I did it.

To everyone surprise Sean stood and offered a toast.

"I'm speaking for both Callum and myself in saying our sincere thank you to
all of you. To Jim and Craig for your friendship and acceptance of two
'kids' and making us feel like equals in your conversation and your
friendship.

To Mr. C and Mr. D, our Dads, this night marks a first for us. You'll most
likely be surprised to know that this glass of wine you've allowed us is
the very first alcohol either of us has tasted. For real. We know you've
placed your trust in us and given us a great responsibility, with this
glass of wine. We do acknowledge and thank you for your trust and respect
for us. You've given us everything. The chance for us to be together, your
acceptance of who we are and for our wonderful home. It's just another
reason to honor, love and respect both of you. Most of all, we thank you
for showing us everyday how to live as who we are and be caring, loving,
adults. You example inspires us each and every day. We love you guys."

Cal stood and wrapped an arm across Sean's shoulders, leaned in and kissed
his cheek.

"Well said ,Sean.!" then to the rest of us he said

"Did I get the best guy in the world or what."

Dan and I both went to hug them, Sean tugged Jim and Craig up too. A six
way group hug then an individual one with each of us. Clearing my throat
and to hide the brimming tears in my eyes I went to the kitchen. I was
standing at the sink with a paper towel pressed to my eyes when I felt
Dan's arms encircle me. He kissed my neck and said.

"you okay babe. That was some speech. We...you, are doing such a great job
with those two. I wish Connor could have the benefit of seeing how we
live. Come back to the TV room babe."

We walked back into the room.

"Sorry guys, that toast just got to me. These two just knock me out
sometimes. They know how to make the old man weep too. Good tears,
always...so far."

We all settled back into our talking and soon Cal and Sean announced that
they were leaving, Cal and Sean wanted to clean up their place and make
sure all was well in the guest quarters above the garage for Sean's Mom and
Dad visit tomorrow.

* * * * * *

It was just past ten a..m. When Sean's parents arrived. I had first met
them years ago while the boys were in grammar school and Janie and I were
still married. We had socialized some over the years as the boys grew. They
both knew I was gay and that I now had a partner. Sean's uncle (his
Father's brother) was gay and both his parents were enlightened souls,
possessing tolerance understanding. Sean had been pacing for an hour when
his phone rang and he met them in the Drive and showed them to the garage
apartment. In a few minutes he called to say that they were coming to the
house to meet see us.

After hugs from his Mom and a firm handshake from his Dad I introduced them
to Dan. Sean's Mom was Amanda and his Dad was Carter. Both gladly accepted
my offer of a Bloody Mary and I gave them a tour of our home. We settled on
the patio and make polite talk for an hour or so. Carter and Dan hit it off
immediately when Carter learned he was with the Corvette Plant, he went
into his story of how he had been a part of the team trying to convince GM
that Tennessee would be the ideal place for the plant.

Amanda and I rattled on about the kids, Sean's sister Caroline was a year
older that Suze but they were friends and I told her that Suze would be
over tonight for dinner.along as would Mary Ann, Dan's ex wife. We didn't
want Amanda to feel outnumbered. About 11:30 I laid out a small buffet of
food on the kitchen island and Amanda watched as I made the
preparations. She was awed by our new kitchen with the refrigerated drawers
as well as the chef's stove. The new dark wood cabinets were attractive and
I was very proud of the remodel Jim and his crew did.

After lunch Sean and Cal took the Fishers on a tour of the WKU campus and
Sean got them into the computer science lab. Almost at once his Mom spotted
the pictures of him on the bulletin board welcoming him and detailing some
of his projects and awards from APSU. Both she and his Dad were impressed
that he would be so welcomed as a student here. They toured the entire
campus and even met some of Sean's professors on their walks between
buildings. Again they were impressed that their son was already well known
on campus by the faculty. Cal had a little trouble, he caught himself a
couple of times about to put his arm around Sean's waist or across his
shoulders.

When they got back to the boys apartment they were sitting in the living
room when Sean's Dad spoke up. "

Sean, Callum, we are both so very glad that Sean was able to transfer
here. The school, this great apartment, and you two being together is more
than we could have ever hoped for."

Cal blushed a bit and wondered if Mr. Fisher meant that like it sounded to
him. He's glad that we're together?

Mr. Fisher continued. "guys, there's only one way I know how to say this so
I'm just gonna say it. Guys, we know about you. We know you two are in love
and it's okay with us. We've expected this for years, since you were in
grammar school. Back then I would look in on your before I went to bed at
night and you two would be there, cuddled up or spooned together,
sleeping. I knew then, so did your Mom, Sean. We just want you guys to know
it's okay. We love you, period."

Sean jumped up to hug his Dad, when Carter wrapped him tightly in his arms
Cal could see Sean's body heaving from crying. The stood there and tears
streamed down his Dad's face too. Finally he pushed Sean back enough to
look him in the eyes.

"I'm so sorry Son. I haven't been there when you needed me the most. I've
been caught up in my job and providing for the family. Sean, I love you
Son, more than I can even say. I promise to be a better Dad for you."

Sean hugged him tighter as the crying subsided I heard Sean say

"I love you too Dad. So much."

Sean's Mom grabbed me into a hug. "you're like my own child almost Cal. We
love you too, your as much a part of our family as anyone. We're really
glad that it's you he loves. We know why he does because we love you too."

Cal excused himself and brought back a box of tissues and handed it
around. That started a round of laughter that had us all holding our sides
from laughing so much. Sean suddenly wanted a picture and Cal buzzed his
Dad and Dan on the intercom and asked them to meet out by the pool to take
some pix.

We snapped about forty pix for Sean of him and his folks, all four of them
and just about any conceivable combination of the six of us anyone could
imagine. I noticed that in all the pictures when both Sean and his Dad were
in them, they were side by side and one holding on to the other. That
warmed my heart. I had to mention it to Dan and he said he had noticed it
already.

We were sitting around the poolside bar and I invited the Fisher's feel
free to uses the pool as they wished. At one point Sean and his Mom and Dad
were deep into conversation when I pulled Cal aside.

"Okay, tell us Cal, what has happened. Sean and his Dad are all over each
other."

"Pops, this has really been a big surprise for us. Sean's Dad hugged him
tight and told him how much he loves him, they both cried. Then they tell
us that they know we are in love and it's fine with them, his Dad told us
he used to look in on us as little kids when he went to bed and we would be
spooned up together. He said he felt then that we would be together. It is
such a wonderful feeling not having to hide 'us' to them. We're careful, we
wont do things that we would do with you and Dan, like a kiss or talk about
us as a couple. They know, and that's enough for us. We won't flaunt our
sexuality to them or anyone. Not our style at all. Just low key like you
guys have taught us. We're not lying about it, but then too, we're not
bragging about it either. It is. We are. So What!"

"Wow Cal this is the best news I could have hoped for. I was sort of
dreading having to tell Carter to be a good Dad to his boy."

Mary Ann came by about 4:30 p.m. and invited Amanda and Caroline to go
shopping at Greenwood Mall with her. They returned nearly three hours later
with full shopping bags. While they were out Suze came over and She and
Sean were like long lost soul mates. It had been more than a year since
they had seen each other. Sean took her to the apartment and showed her
around and the upstairs one too. Cal, Carter and Dan sat by the pool with
Dan coming into the kitchen every few minutes asking if I needed his
help. Finally I asked him to set the dining table with the linens and
silver service I had put out.

At 8:20 the eight of us sat down to our dinner of Standing Crown Rib Roast
with horse radish sauce, braised new potatoes, sauteed red, green and
yellow peppers with sweet onions and Tarragon, Whole green beans with
slivered almonds, freshly made yeast rolls with honey butter, a hearty
Burgundy wine and home made peach ice cream for dessert. Our meal was
spectacular even if I did cook it. It has been a long while since I have
been as pleased with any meal I've served.

Dan made a special toast to the Fishers and Carter made one to his Son and
Cal. That one just about had us all weeping into our wine. And when Carter
finished and went to hug Sean and Cal, I lost it. I had to excuse myself to
the kitchen and compose myself. Carter was doing everything right with
Sean, just the things that he needed for self confidence and filling the
aching hole he had always felt where his Dad was concerned. But that was
all gone now. In just a few hours Carter mended years of pain and self
doubt that Sean had harbored. The difference in Sean was readily
apparent. He was more assertive, he initiated conversations, he laughed
with abandon. His laughter was such a joyous sound, I supposed that it was
because we had never heard him laugh like he did this night. I watched Cal
watching Sean. I think it's safe to say that Callum fell in love all over
again watching Sean blossom into such a vibrant, warm and caring
person. Several times during dinner and the long conversations after, Sean
would catch my eye and wink or nod. Letting me know how happy he was.

We all moved out to the patio for coffee and sat around the lighted
pool. Dan had included landscape lighting in his gardens and they were
spectacular on this summer evening. Along about 10:30 Mary Ann was the
first to leave and not long after the Fishers went to their apartment, Suze
left to go back to her dorm, leaving just Dan, Sean, Cal and I.

"Well boy's. I'd say that this day was a great success. Sean I want you to
know that I never spoke to your Dad about spending more time with you. But
to my eyes he is a changed man and so very proud of you."

"Today was the best time I have ever had with Mom and Dad Mr. C., I'm so
happy I may burst. They know about Cal and I and accept us as we are. My
Dad's voice cracked with emotion in his toast to me, to us. It's just been
the greatest day and that dinner was out of this world!. I can't imagine a
day getting any better than this. I love my Mom and Dad dearly but Mr. C.,
it's you and Dan I look to for guidance and answers to my questions. I love
you guys very much."

"I agree with Sean, this has been an amazing day and evening. Pops, Dan,
that dinner was by far the best food I have ever tasted. Pops you should
have been a Chef Having Sean's parents know and approve of our relationship
is such a great freedom to us. I'm sure there are others like us in this
world but I feel that Sean and I are the luckiest guys alive. Not only do
we have parental approval of our lifestyle, we have the privilege of
observing You and Dan as you live your lives together. No one has ever had
better role models than Sean and I."

Soon our beautiful Kentucky Summer waned into a spectacular Fall with the
colorful leaves putting on the annual fabulous show. The Fall/Winter
semester registration at WKU was mostly controlled chaos, with all faculty
and staff pressed into service. We settled and the first year students
learned their way about the campus and all settled into their routine. I
made a hard push for donations with all my contacts and the Alumni in the
middle of September to get cash in before the Holiday spending cut into
what donors were intending to give. I knew that December through March
would be slow for my fund raising.

I did have some things to check up on though, I made a day trip to
Nashville just to check up on Dan's upcoming Christmas present. The
restoration shop at Lanes Museum was making a resto mod 1957 Corvette
Convertible that I was giving Dan for Christmas this year. I loved Danny's
car and knew he would too. GM has a showroom at the plant with one car for
every year they've been made and he always goes to the '57 when we're
there. The one I'm giving him is the same Aqua color with white trim as the
one at the GM showroom he likes so well. Lane's already has my next car
waiting to be redone. It was a 1969 Olds Cutlass 442 Convertible to be done
in Old Gold and White. But it would be well into fall before before I would
be driving it. I called Janie's cell but she was in meetings so I buzzed
Jerry and chatted a while with him

Cal would be graduating from WKU next June with a degree in Industrial
Engineering, Sean with a degree in Computer Science. Both Cal and Sean are
making noises about grad School so I provided them with list of Grants
available for furthering their education. True to his word, Cal's grades
did improve once he and Sean were together. He made the Dean's List five of
his last six semesters. Sean of course was a Dean's List student every
semester.

His Mom and I had decided even before Dan and I reunited that Callum would
get my beloved 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible Restomod, The Stang, as his
graduation present, Cal love that car as much as I do. I had no clue what
to get for Sean.  I called Carter, Sean's Dad and he told me they were
getting him a new SUV.  Dan and I wrestled with trying to come up with a
suitable gift and finally decided on money.  Since they would both be going
on to grad school and living with us we decide to get a 2 year Certificate
of Deposit for Sean, to provide a nest egg, or safety net as he started his
work career and they began life together as a working couple.  Since Cal
was getting the car Dan and I decided to give Sean a $10,000 savings
certificate.

With his folks giving him new wheels, Dan and I hoped that the savings
certificate would stay on deposit and start earning more money.  Sean was a
very level headed guy and more attuned to looking forward and planning
ahead than Callum.

Dan and I were off to Clarkesville for Connor's first football game of the
season on Saturday, Mary Ann rode down with us. It was really great to see
that she and Danny were friends again. She was dating a good man and I
supposed that it was much easier for her to be happy for Danny when she was
happy herself. Connor had a great game making eight tackles and 2 sacks of
the quarterback as his team won in a romp. He was named Defensive Player of
the Week in the OVC Conference.  Dan and Mary Ann were very proud, I was
too, but somehow Connor just never became close to me and neither did his
sister.  There were good friends with my kids but were never close to me.
I held the hope that one day, they would come around and accept me as their
Dad's partner.

Before we were accustomed to fall, winter arrived and snow soon
followed. Then it was the Holiday season. The Monday following Thanksgiving
I got a call from Lane's letting me know that Dan's Car was finished. I
made an appointment to drive it for the shakedown cruise without Dan
knowing. He had to go GM HQ in Michigan for a couple of Days and I had Cal
drive me to Nashville and I drove his car back and we put in in the third
space in the Garage Mahal and covered it and stacked boxes to block it from
view when the doors were opened. Cal was very disappointed that it wasn't
for me and that he wouldn't get The Stang for Christmas. Since he didn't
know he would get it for Graduation I ribbed him hard telling him that I
would have to be dead for him to get the keys out of my hand.

The last day of the Semester was Dec. 15th and it was also the date of the
Faculty/Staff annual Holiday Party. As the festivities started President
Ransdell welcomed the crowd and like always, he introduced the new staff
and faculty first. everyone stood when their names were called to be
introduced when their names were called. Faculty was first and then the
staff. Dr. Ransdell then introduced his Administration support staff and
mine was the last name he called.  I had missed this party the previous two
years for various reasons, My first year I was away in New York at a Fund
Raiser seminar and the second year, Dan and I were in Fort Lauderdale at an
art show Malin was exhibiting in.  Tonight would be the first time I'll be
introduced as the President's Executive Assistant.

Danny had told me he was going to position himself so he could watch
Charles Moore's (from the food market) face when I stood up. Charles was
visibly shocked when I was introduced as the Executive Assistant to the
President.

Later as we worked through the crowd we met up with Charles who was all
smiles and friendlier than I had ever seen him. He even introduced us to
several of his 'faculty friends', all middle aged men and I assumed all
would be gay or at the least, Bi-Sexual. Charles was not known to have
straight friends on the faculty. Each time he introduced me he would omit
Danny.  I just pulled Dan up and introduced him to all as my partner.  Each
time I did it Charles grew cooler and cooler, I can only guess that somehow
he wanted to infer the he and I were friends or more.  In our chatter with
his 'gay friends I used the word 'monogamous' every time I referred to our
relationship, further frustrating Charles.  I had to separate and work a
bit on the wealthy Alumni and WKU Benefactors, making sure they knew me and
that they did not want for anything while there.  Shortly before his
leaving President Ransdell pulled me aside to tell me he had heard many
favorable comments about his new Assistant. Comments ranging from my charm
and my knowledge of their gifts that had given prior to my arrival at WKU
and my solicitous manner regarding their comfort and enjoyment of the
evening.

Dan did well on his own, finding many people he knew from both the plant
and his years in the city.  Every so often we would catch sight of each
other and smile or wink, as we worked the crowd. The Dean of Students
cornered me and thanked me for my part in getting Sean Fisher to WKU.  He
was surprised and very pleased when I told him I had known Sean since he
was five years old.  He also said that Dr. Ransdell was quite surprised and
pleased as he watched while I worked the room, and for the many compliments
he had received from Alumni and guests regarding me.  I was not so crass as
to ask anyone for money this night but I made certain that I would be known
on sight at our next encounter.

On Christmas Morning while Dan was in the shower Cal brought the '57 to our
garage at the house and took his car back to the garage mahal. The four of
us exchanged presents, with Dan giving me the most beautiful Emerald ring
(my favorite stone, by far) I had ever seen.  I gave Dan a 60 inch Flat
Panel TV with the Home theater sound system and a gold watch.  Dan and I
gave Sean and Cal both new Laptops and I phones and a 42 inch flat panel
TV. The boys gave us sexy underwear telling us it was for dancing at Club
Fly, you had to show your underwear to be cool these days they said.  But
my favorite was the picture Cal had taken of Dan and I with his phone. He
had a blowup done of us standing together, my arm around Dan and his around
me.  After the gifts I went to make our breakfast, Sean and Cal said they
were going back to their place but would be back for breakfast.  Really
they went to hide in the garage and take a picture when Dan saw his car.

He was behind me at the sink thanking me for his new watch and the TV, I
could feel his swelling cock rub against my butt. I had trouble
concentrating but finally asked that he get me the frozen bacon from the
freezer in the garage.

His new car was parked in his space with a huge White Bow from front to
back. I heard his gasp when he opened the door, he sort of slumped against
the door jamb to keep on his feet when the camera flashed.

"Oh migod, TJ!!!" I was right behind him.

"Merry Christmas Babe"

He was absolutely pale, I feared he might faint.  He rallied and regained
his composure enough to turn to me and pull me into a Danny hug.

"Did you steal it from the showroom at the plant?" he asked

No babe, this one is yours, but it is cosmetically identical to the '57 you
always go to at the museum."

In his boxers and Tee shirt he jumped into the driver's seat and turned the
key. The V-8 rumbled to life filling the garage with it's burbling
exhaust. He turned it off and ran back to me.

"This is too much babe. I do love it though.  I love you Tommy, more than I
can ever say. Thank you, it's the greatest present ever."

"It's a resto mod, like The Stang so you can drive it anywhere. It's a
little tricky on wet pavement they tell me because of the power to weight
ratio. We've had it hidden here for almost two weeks!  It's been parked in
the garage out back since you went to Michigan.  Now, I really do need the
bacon babe!"

After French Toast and Bacon Dan rushed to dress and was tugging me out to
the garage.

"We're going for a drive TJ."

We got into the car and he reached up and undid the latch and put the top
down.  Oblivious to the fact that it was 40 degrees outside.  When the
motor roared to life Dan just sat there, mesmerized by the rumbling V-8
motor.  I watched his face as he tried all the buttons and knobs. He was a
little boy again, everything to he touched, saw or heard was either awesome
or fantastic.  When he pushed the throttle down when turning onto the
on-ramp to I-65 he laughed out loud.

"Oh Man...what a car." Dan exclaimed.

He took the next exit off the highway because the wind with the top down
had us chilled to the bone. With our teeth chattering he pulled over and
pulled the top up and cranked up the heater.  Before he pulled back onto
the highway he leaned over and with his hand on the back of my neck pulled
me into a long soulful kiss.  After a couple of cars blew their horns as
they passed by us we broke the kiss.

"You constantly amaze me Tommy, thank you for being you, for loving me and
for this awesome Christmas Present.  Every time I think there's no way we
could love each other more, you do something that just blows me away.
You've made me the happiest, luckiest man alive.  I love you babe."

"Drive Mister, you can thank me in our bedroom later.  I know it too,
somehow we just keep getting better and better together.  I don't question
it anymore, I accept it and then say thanks for it.  And I do love you."

CALLUM

It was back around the Thanksgiving Weekend that Sean, Dan and I Started
planning a surprise birthday party for Pops.  He was born on New Years Eve,
the biggest party night of the year.  We started making a list of who to
invite, Dan even sneaked a call to Pop's office to his Assistant to make
out a list from WKU for the Party, added in Dan's family, My family and
Sean's family and a few of their personal friends and we had a list of 48
people. That ruled out a party at their house which was good in a way, it
will be hard to surprise Pops anywhere, but at the house would be
impossible.  Dan got started and managed to get the National Corvette
Museum Skydome party/meeting room reserved for our party. That was perfect,
Dan could easily convince Pops that it was a GM party they were going to
and when they walk in, Surprise it's just us!  Dan again used his GM
connections and convinced the Chefs at Verdi Restaurant to cater the food
for the party.  They provided items straight from their menu.  Many of our
guests immediately knew where the food came from.

The food was fabulous, even Pops raved about it. Verdi had provided us with
Humus with sweet red pepper pesto, toasted Lepina (a Bosnian bread),
pepperoncini (sweet Italian peppers) , Kalamata Olives with cucumbers and
Feta cheese.  Grilled Shrimp with Orange Marmalade, Grilled Avocado with
Crab Fritti, Ahi Tuna atop spring greens with tomatoes, broccoli, potato
slice, French Onions and green peppers, salads with organic greens, red
onions, dried cherries, Gorgonzola cheese, green peppers and an
Avocado/Sherry vinaigrette.  Seared scallops in penne pasta and lemon
garlic sauce, seared shrimp on skewers, lemon seasoned, artichoke and black
olives, with Gorgonzola and Feta cheese sauce. A fabulous feast that had
the guest raving about the food.

In addition to the invited local guests , all of our families would be
there, including Sean's Mom, Dad and Sister Caroline. Suze, Connor, Malin,
Mary Ann, Jerry and my Mom Janie, and our friends Jim and Craig. With
Connor and Malin staying with their Mom we had just enough beds for the out
of towners and ourselves. To keep Pops in the dark about the party Dan
arranged for three hotel rooms at the museum for the Nashville crowd to
change, Sean's folks and , Mom and Jerry would come back to our house
afterward.

In the SkyDome, more than 70 Corvettes were on display, Dan even managed to
get the '57 Car that was like the one I gave him put on display there. He
had a big Christmas Card made up in the art department at work that read.
Merry Christmas Danny, love TJ, Danny told everyone about his present.

It was the night of the party and the four of us were in Tuxedos, further
convincing Pops that this was really a GM party.  A limo arrived to pick us
up and one went to Mary Ann's place to pick up her, Connor and Malin. Dan
had ordered a stretch Limo to pick us up after the party. On cue when we
arrived at the Sky Dome everyone in the crowd had their backs turned so
that Pops couldn't see any familiar faces.

We heard someone on the sound system start a count down from five and at
one everyone turned and shouted HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TJ.  Balloons were released
and confetti filled the air.  Pops stood there with his mouth hanging open.
Then the crowd moved in on him and he realized he had been had.

He turned to Dan to say thanks but Dan was being led away by one of the
guests to the '57 Aqua and White car like his.  Dad turned to Sean and me
and we just shrugged like we didn't have a clue, as we steered him to the
bar.  With his Gin in hand Pops dove into the crowd and we didn't see him
again for hours.  After about an hour the caterers had all the food out and
they removed all the covers and the aromas filled the room and the crowd
swarmed to the food.  When everyone was finished with the food the music
started.  Dan had hired "The Sound Machine" DJ to spin tunes for this older
crowd and it wasn't long until the whole place was rocking.

Sean and I were watching the folks dance when Jim and Craig walked up
looking fabulous in their Tuxes.  We chatted a bit and they decided to
dance a bit themselves.  I saw Suze and Malin sitting and Sean and I went
over, him taking Suze and me with Malin and dragged them out onto the Dance
floor.  Connor was dancing with Caroline, Sean's sister and Mary Ann was
with her latest beau.  Dr. Ransdell from WKU and DR. Fisher from Belmont
and their wives stayed close together but to their credit mingled with
everyone.  At one point when I looked around there were only a handful of
folks not dancing.  At about 5 minutes til Midnight someone got on the
sound system and got everyones attention for the countdown.  I noticed Dan
and Pops, Jim and Craig walk by Sean and I going away from the crowd, I
tugged Sean along as I followed them. We walked around the center core of
the Dome to where we were out of sight of the party crowd and as the count
down hit zero all of us kissed our partner.  We were the openly Gay
contingent and we weren't about to miss the New Years Kiss but neither did
want to offend anyone so we slipped away.  We rushed back to the group and
were hugging and shaking hands with everyone we met.  Dad got to the sound
system and thanked everyone for coming and toasted Dan for such a wonderful
surprise.  Then he thanked Danny, Sean and I and his family.

Some time around one thirty we crawled into the Limo with Sean's folk, Mom
and Jerry and Suze.  Dad was really touched that so many people had come to
the party and he raved about the food and the music. There was a moment
when he just looked at Danny, I thought they might kiss but they didn't
they just clasped each other hands and did their mental telepathy bit with
each other.  Everyone just smiled and looked away.

It was nearly three a.m. When Sean and I fell into our bed.  Exhausted and
still a bit keyed up.  Neither of us were drunk, I think we only had two
glasses of wine each the whole night.  We did drink a good bit of club soda
though.  At Eight my alarm went off and we showered and rushed up to the
main house to make coffee and see about breakfast.  The coffee brewing
brought Dan to the kitchen and he told us that breakfast would be delivered
about 10.

"Danny, you thought of every thing man. That sure was some party last
night.  Everyone had a blast.

He thanked us for all our help and hugged us, then grabbed a mug of coffee.
Sean and I set out the dishes and silver on the dining table buffet style
and when the food arrived they just set the Buffet Chafing dishes on the
table.  Sean called his folks on their cell and Mom and Jerry were just
coming down the hallway when we uncovered the food.

Eggs Benedict with tons of Hollandaise sauce, scrambled eggs with sour
cream and minced sweet red peppers, rashers of bacon, piles of ham, smoked
Salmon, hash browns, Spanish Frittatas, Onions, Chorizo Sausage, Manchego
Cheese with Yukon Gold Potato Hash.

Sean and I had our eyes on the food knowing we would be taking a good deal
of it back to our place for the coming week.  While Danny was loved by
everyone, his stock rose considerably as a party planner this week. Dad had
a hard time wrapping his brain around the fact that Dan had pulled of the
surprise of a life time with a fabulous party and the incredible food.  Dan
blushed as Pops raved about his planning skills and passed it all off as
the magic of his GM business card.

* * * * * *

TJ

Since tomorrow, January 2nd was on a Wednesday the guests started leaving
in mid afternoon. Sean talked his folks into staying for dinner before
leaving but Janie, Jerry and Suze left at three Sean and Cal prepared
dinner at their apartment for Sean's folks, their first dinner guests in
the new place.

Dan and I stretched out on the sofa, him spooned to my back as we watched a
football game and just enjoyed being alone with each other.  I dozed of
during the game and woke alone on the sofa around seven. I walked through
the house but couldn't find Dan, finally I thought to see if he had left to
go somewhere and opened the door to the garage and there he sat in his car,
smiling.  He called for me to join him and I got in beside him. We just sat
there, not talking, holding hands and I knew his gratitude, how much he
loved his present, how much he adores me, how thankful he was for all we
had, our families, our lives together, this seemingly boundless love we
have for each other.  Finally we left the garage and went to our room.
Once we were undressed and in bed, spooned together, him hugging me to him
he let out a huge sigh,

"uumm me too babe. Pure bliss. Thank you Dan, for everything, life with you
is the most wonderful thing I've ever known. I am a truly happy man.

The End...againCALLUM

The surprise birthday party for Pops was a smashing success. Dan dazzled
everyone with his unknown talent for organizing such an amazing
evening. Pops was completely shocked when he realized that we had pulled
off such an elaborate and unexpected surprise. On the way home in the limo
I thought Dad was going to kiss Dan, right there in front of Sean's parents
and Mom and Jerry. He managed to control his emotions but he did hold Dan's
hand for the whole trip home.

At the house, Dan popped a bottle of Champagne and we all had a final
celebratory drink to the birthday boy. Pops, never one to miss any
opportunity to speak to a group, took over and spent about five minutes
praising Dan for organizing such a fantastic party and thanked Sean and I
for our part as well, and the guests for attending. After the drink Dan
told everyone that brunch would be laid out at ten thirty and to come to
the dining room when they were ready. Before heading to the apartment I
told Dan that Sean and I would be back by Nine to get the coffee started
and lay out the dishes and silver. I asked what he wanted cooked and he
laughed and told me to relax and snuggle up with Sean a hour longer.

"The morning after Brunch is part of the whole deal guys. It's Catered
too. Cars will be picking up the guests staying at the Corvette museum and
picking up Mary Ann, Malin and Connor at their house. It's the final part
of Dan Drennan's Fabulous Affairs, that's the name of the company I'll
start when I retire from GM. If I can convince T.J. to cook for us."

Sean and I did make it back to the main house by 9:30 and helped straighten
up after the caterers had gone and put out the Silverware and China, and
lit the Sterno for the hot dishes. Dan was directing everything we
did. Pops finally made an appearance at 9:45. When he walked into the
dining room his eyes popped and his mouth hung open. "DANNY! Your still at
it. This is beautiful, so elegant. You've worked yourself into the party
giving job in this house for sure."

Pops gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Looking over to Sean and I,
Pops said.

"Sean, Callum. Take note guys, Dan has given a Graduate Course in how you
treat your man with last night's party and this brunch. Looking to Dan he
said.

"I can get well accustomed to this kind of treatment for every happy
occasion Dan. You've gone over the top spoiling me now. Few things surprise
me about my Dan anymore, but this party has absolutely stunned me. I'm
gonna wear him out thanking him over and over for this birthday surprise."

Just then the doorbell rang and the brunch guests began arriving. Mary Ann,
Malin and Connor were the first to arrive just as Sean's parents and his
sister Caroline came in the back door from the apartment out back. The
dining room Hunt Board and Buffet were covered with chafing dishes, bowls
and dishes of food. We had set up a long folding table in the family room,
Malin, Connor, Suze, Caroline Sean and I all ate there, all of us over 21
and still at the kids table!

This fabulous brunch lasted until almost noon. The group in the dining room
were laughing and talking and generally having a great time while we
younger folks in the family room were busy talking as well, catching up
with each other, telling our stories. Suze was giving Sean and I a hard
time about the apartment, wanting us to move out right away. Malin showed
pics of her art exhibition a couple of months ago in Louisville, Connor was
being courted by sports agents, he was a sure shot to be drafted into the
NFL. Sean and I had some big news too, we both had just secured jobs after
graduation. We kept it low key so we could tell everyone after brunch, Dan
and Dad didn't even know it yet.

It took a lot of begging from me but Suze stayed until dark before going
back to campus. We were in the same town, even the same College but seldom
got to spend time together. We have always been close and we could be apart
for months at a time and pick it all up again like we were together
yesterday. I understood that she was anxious to get back to her steady guy
of the last couple of months.

After everyone had eaten and before they left the table Sean and I asked
the group at our table to come into the dining room because we had
something to tell the whole group. When we all walked in Pops eyes
immediately went to Dan, eyebrow raised. Dan just shook his head that he
didn't know what was happening.

I looked to Sean and took his hand in mine.

"We don't know when we will have everyone together again like this so Sean
and I have some news that we need to share with all of you. Incredible as
it sounds, Sean and I will be graduating from WKU in just a bit over five
months from now. We've both been contacted by 'headhunters' about various
jobs and companies. Sean's field is so technical that he has been limited
in the companies that have made legitimate offers that interest him. With
me, Industrial Engineers are a dime a dozen it seems. But I'm proud to say
that we have both been offered good positions and we will both be in the
same city. The bad news is that we will be leaving Dan and Pops. Their help
and guidance during our time here has not only made us closer as a family,
it has molded us into respectable and responsible young men. We can never
repay their kindness, their love and caring nor the financial help that
they have given us. Suze will get our beloved apartment. Our other Dad,
Jerry designed the place, I really wish we could take it with us. It was
our first home together for Sean and I. Leaving here will be sad and both
of us regret that we must do so. But our new employers will be expecting us
in August. We'll be moving to Nashville, to begin our careers!

Sean's Mom shrieked and his Dad yelled, My Mom started bawling, Dan and
Pops were up hugging us, everyone was excited that we would be living and
working in our home town. Janie, My Mom was in tears, overjoyed that her
baby would be back in town. Sean's folks were just as happy, his Dad was
already making plans for a welcome home party. His Mom was a real estate
agent and was telling us about great condos for rent. We told Dan and Pops
that we'd be reserving the guest quarters a lot during the coming
Hilltoppers Football season. Not long after the guests started leaving and
by 4 pm there was only the four of us left, Dan, Pops, Sean and I.

Dan started in asking questions about where we would be working and Sean
told him all about Quanta Computers and I in turn told what little I knew
about my firm, Hayden Architectural Design and Interiors. We knew that we
wanted to live in the Hillsboro or Green Hills area. But the big problem
was that it was a very desirable area (read expensive). His Mom had
promised us she could find us the perfect Condo to rent in six months time.

Pops and Dan excused themselves and went to their room, Pops saying that
they would be right back, he just had to talk privately with Dan for a
moment. They were back in less than five minutes.

"Sean, Cal you guys take a seat, we need to talk. This is important."

We wondered what was up but we sat and waited to hear what they were up to
now.

"Guys Dan and I have just been talking and we've come up with a idea you
guys might like. How would you guys like to live in Hillsboro village when
you move back home? What I mean is, I still have my house there, it is
rented but we can give notice and you guys can buy it if you want. It will
be a great investment for you guys not to mention it is a really cool place
to live."

Sean and I looked and each other, both of us shocked, I hadn't thought of
that place in at least two years. But I knew it was a great idea and before
I could get the question asked, Sean said yes, that will be perfect, then
added.

"But only if we can have you guys as our guests then whenever you come to
town. Mi Casa Es Su Casa. Quite literally in this case." Sean said.

"Jeez Pops, you guys are absolutely the greatest. I always liked that place
better even than Mom's house. I love the old craftsman style and the way
you restored it is so great. Is there room in the back yard for a pool?

"Yes there is room and the plans are already drawn up, I gave it up when
Danny came back into my life."

"This is almost too much, How could any two guy's be as lucky as Sean and
I."

Dan put his arm around Pops and laughed.

"I think the great luck runs in the family Cal. I feel the very same way
every day with your Dad, here."

Sean spoke up.

"We're taking you guys out to Dinner tonight. Our treat, for real, Dress
nicely we're going to Verdi. I have a friend who works at Verdi, I'll call
him now for reservations. "

Sean stepped onto the deck to make his call and Dan and Pops just stood
there, looking at each other.

Dan had a frown on his face and looked to Pops and said.

"T.J., I don't have anything to wear!"

"Poor baby, you want me to take you shopping, we can get you something
nice. Or you could just wear your Tux, you look so good in it."

"Great, I'm driving." Dan said.

Pops doubled over laughing,

"You'll go to any length to drive that car, won't you.  Very well, I could
use a brisk ride about now."

Sean came in from the deck.

"We have reservations for 8:30 at Verdi. You two remember that this is our
treat, leave your wallets at home."

"Thanks boys, sorry but you guys will always be our boys.  We're so very
proud of the men you've become but you're still our boys.  Now Dan and I
are off to do some shopping, Greenwood Mall, here we come!"

Dan put a little extra into the gas pedal and the 'Vette roared to life, we
could hear him laughing in the family room.

The time between the New Years Eve party for Pops and Graduation flew by.
Spring lasted about a week it seemed and soon it was Graduation week.  The
Fishers and Mom and Jerry came on Friday, Graduation was on Sunday.  Both
Sean and I were graduating with honors, Him as Magna Cum Laude with a 3.9
GPA and me as summa cum laude with 3.5 GPA. Any honors I received was
because Sean pushed me to do better every time we received a grade.  Pops
continually thanked Sean for the way he pushed me to get better and better
grades

The day arrived and I was so relieved, starting tomorrow we would begin our
life in the real world.  We had a home and Pops gave us his furniture that
was in storage.  We were set to begin our Jobs on the first day of August.

Everyone gathered on the deck and in the yard at Dan and Pop's for our
After Graduation party, Sean and I had changed into board shorts and tees
but we wore the Mortarboard caps with the gold tassels signifying our
Honors status, most of the afternoon.  Carter, Sean's Dad was the first to
give a toast to us and when he had finished, the garage door opened and his
Mom drove out is Sean's graduation present. A new Range Rover Evoq SUV.
Silver with saddle brown leather. Trucks aren't supposed to be pretty but
this one was absolutely breathtaking.

Sean went crazy!  I feared that he would hyperventilate he was so
excited. After everyone had calmed down I expected Dad to toast us but it
was Dan who spoke.  I didn't see Pops anywhere.  Dan's toast to us made
tears well up for both of us as he told of his love and affection for us.
Everyone was moved by his words and it got very quiet when he had finished.
Just when it was at the quietest, I heard the roar of a V-8 motor starting
up.  At first I thought it was Dan's Vette but it didn't sound just right.
Then I saw it. Oh migod! Coming around the corner of the house was THE
STANG!  I fell to my knees I was so shocked. I was up quickly and running
to Pops and The Stang. He had stopped and was by the car when I hit him at
a full run, wrapping him in a bear hug, my face wet with my tears of joy!
There wasn't anything I could say right then so I just kept hugging my Dad.

When I had recovered enough, he tossed me the keys.  She's your's now
son. I'm so sorry for making you feel so bad when I told you that I traded
it away. Lanes' refreshed the old girl these past few months and she's like
new again. Now you can take her back home to the village in Nashville and
put her in her proper garage.  But remember, her next redo is on you.

Sean came running up,

"Oh my god, it's the same car. I thought it was another at first, but it's
The Stang."

Sean hugged Pops.

"You knew how much he loves that car.  I'm a little jealous of it, he has
talked about it so much since it's been gone.  He cried that first
night. Thank you Mr. C., you know that you and Dan are more to us than just
Cal's Dads.  We both want to be just like the two of you."

"We know that Sean. We love you both so much. Having you here has been a
gift for us, we will miss you terribly. Dan and I were hoping you would
both stay for Grad School and be with us a while longer."

All the guests came over to look at the Mustang.  Bill, Suze's main squeeze
was stunned by the Mustang.  Bill's Dad is a Ford dealer; Suze told him
about growing up with her Dad driving it everyday and how her brother
couldn't mention their Dad with talking about that car too.

Around four pm the last of the guests said their goodbyes and Dan, Pops,
Sean and I were left to clean up.  Sean and I took the outside while Dan
and Pops went inside.  By six o'clock everything was back to normal, and
all signs of the party were gone except for the two new additions to the
garage.

The next morning Sean and I both jumped up out of bed before we realized
that we weren't in school now.  Laughing we went to the kitchen and made
fresh juice in the juicer.  We decided that we should start packing things
up to be taken to Nashville.  We would be in possession of the house on the
first of July and Due at our new jobs on August first. The day we left the
apartment was bitter sweet.  We both love that place that had been built
for us.

The Moving truck took our things on the morning of June 30th. and we drove
to Nashville the next day.  By five o'clock that afternoon our possessions
were in our new home.  When everything had been put into its new place, we
knew what furniture items we still needed.  First on the list was new
bedroom furniture for us, a TV room sofa and chairs, dishes, cutlery,
glassware and a cookware set. We found everything on our list and came home
with everything but the furniture which would be delivered.

Pops gave us the furniture he hadn't taken to Bowling Green that had
previously been here. So we had a place to sleep until the new furniture
arrived. That night Mom and Jerry and Sean's folks all came over, both sets
of parents bringing tons of food and we received four bottles of wine for
housewarming gifts.

A little after ten pm everyone was gone and we were sitting on the bar
stools in the kitchen.

"Cal!  We don't have to go to class anymore.  We're done, let's take off
for a few days.  Take a quick break before we have to join the workforce."

"Do you have something in mind Sean?"

"I do but I don't know that you will go for it Callum."

"You'll never know until you try me, Sean. What do you want to do.?"

"What would you think about a three night, four day trip to Key West. We
fly of course. We can do the whole trip, hotel, meals, plane tickets for
under $1,000. I've checked."

He moved closer and put his arms around me and said softly.

"We could hold hands walking on the beach, kiss in public, just be two guys
in love for a few days."

Sean knew he had hooked me with that last sentence.  I have a very hard
time saying no to him, he's always been my weakness since we were little
kids.

"You already have the tickets, don't you Sean!

Sean just gave me a sheepish, guilty look, knowing I would do anything he
wished.  I always have and probably I always will.

"Sure thing Sean.  Three days alone, and on the beach with you sounds like
paradise.  When to we leave?"

"The day after tomorrow!  We're gonna have a great time Cal.  Caroline will
be here for the furniture delivery and she'll stay at our place and keep
the Range Rover while we're away.  I've bought us new board shorts and a
couple of Speedos."

"Have you told Dan and Pops about your scheme?"

"No I thought I'd let you do that.  Scheme?  I just think we ought to have
some down time together before we start working for the rest of our lives.
We've never been really alone together, family is always near or in the
room.  I'm not complaining about that at all, Cal.  I would like for us to
be away and alone for just a little while.  I think it will be good for us,
a special Cal and Sean time"

"You're right, as usual Sean.  Wow Key West!  You better not dump me for
some beach body.  I'm going to the tanning salon tomorrow and get a spray
on tan before I get out on the beach.  I give new meaning to the words
pasty white."

Our time in Key West was magical. Sean was right, we could just be two guys
in love here.  There was a special bonding for us on that trip, a beginning
of sorts as we would soon be living on our own.  Being away from family and
on our own was such a great feeling.  We were adults now.  And we weren't
alone either, we had seen at least three other gay couples at this hotel.

On our first morning we decided to try on the new swim suits. When Sean put
on the his new speedo my heart raced. I wasn't at all sure I wanted him to
go to the beach in that. He looked so freaking sexy I boned up in an
instant. He kept ribbing me to put the Speedo he got for me but I told him
there was a problem and his hand groped at my cock.

"Do I need to take care of this so you can get into the Speedo, Cal?"

"Well..."

With that he pulled my shorts to the floor got on his knees and took me
into his mouth.  Needless to say we wound up naked on the bed, me on my
back with Sean deep inside me. He wasn't gentle either, hot and sweaty we
fucked hard.  Him pounding my ass and my ass trying to devour his cock. The
end result was two exhausted but satisfied young men, a short nap, and me
with a silly little grin on my face all day.  After the nap we both got
into the speedos and stood looking in the mirror.

"Damn babe, a guy can't hide anything in these. Are we really going out on
the beach in these."

'They are kinda skimpy Cal, but you look good enough to eat it it.  I'm
game if your are.  Just remember you're going home with the one who brung
ya, you hear!"

"Great, understood. It will be a rush with you beside me in that.  Sean
your butt is amazing in that suit, that bulge in front looks good too.  We
may have to run back to the room and do it again, you sexy man."

I have to say that heads did turn as we walked down the beach.  Every pair
of eyes were covered with shades but we knew that were watching. We stopped
at an open space of beach and spread out a blanket and lay down. Knowing
that we were being watched, we sort of put on a little show of me putting
lotion on Sean and him putting it on me. I got hard again oiling up his
body and it was painful in the speedo.  We were both reading, on our
stomachs, propped up on elbows reading.  Our feet were touching, rubbing
and keeping up our contact.  After a half hour we turned to lay on our
backs and saw that there was six or seven guys near us.  The empty space
had filled quickly.

After an hour we got up and went to a beachside bar for a cool refreshing
drink.  We sat at an Umbrella table with our drinks and talked.  Soon a
couple came up and asked if they could join us. All the other tables were
occupied.  They introduced themselves as Steven and Richard.  Steven spoke
first."

"Thanks guys. I don't mean to pry but are you guys a couple by any chance.
We hope so, Rich and I would like someone to pal around with without the
come ons the single guys try.  Rich and I have been together 4 years
now. Oh gosh, I forgot. I'm Drew."

"That's great guys. Yes this is Sean and I'm Cal. We are very much a
couple.  We've know each other and been best friends since kindergarten. We
started fooling around in high school and we committed to each other our
freshman year in college."

Rich and Drew are from Birmingham and newly graduated from college like us.
We talked and laughed for nearly an hour. We wanted to go and make
reservations for a Snorkeling trip and a Sunset Sail on the Blue Q, a
sightseeing boat.  Rich and Drew had heard about it and asked if we'd mind
them going on the same trip.

Of course we were glad they wanted to join us. But their asking made me
like them even more.  We booked on the Sunset Sail for this evening and on
the Snorkeling trip for tomorrow morning.  The Sunset cruise was amazing,
among the most beautiful things I have ever seen.  After the Blue Q
returned to dock, Sean and I asked Drew and Rich to join us for
dinner. Drew quickly accepted if we would be doing it dutch treat, which
made me like them more and more.

A quick phone call got us reservations for four at Mangoes overlooking the
crowd doing the Duval Crawl, drinks then dinner, more drinks and the four
of us headed out to Rick's Upstairs for some dancing. What a night!  We had
fun at Club Fly back in Bowling Green, but Rick's was in another league.
Sometime after 3am we all stumbled and laughed our way back to the hotel.

The four of us met again for drinks before dinner then we separated for our
last night in Key West.  Tonight was for just us.  We had a nice dinner,
intentionally light, nothing heavy, we didn't want anything to hamper or
slow us for the lovemaking that would come later.  We were absolutely
shameless, hugging, kissing every few steps as we walked back from the
sunset viewing, at one point I pulled Sean into the shadows just off Duval
Street and was undoing his belt when he stopped me. I was so caught up in
the gay friendly atmosphere and so freaking in love with him that I got too
carried away.  When we broke apart, Sean was gasping for air and had a
urgency in his words.

"Ohmigod Callum, let's get to our room now!  The love I feel for you is
about to burst out of these shorts."

We took off walking fast back to Heron House Court and our bed.  In the
room sean turned and pressed me to the door as he wrapped his arms around
my neck and kissed me so lustfully that we were steaming hot in seconds.
Something snapped in Sean.  He grabbed the neck of my tee shirt and tore it
off my body, next he slid down my body kissing and tonguing his way to the
waistband of my board shorts. He pulled them to the floor and my bouncing
cock came to rest against his cheek. He took it in his left hand and looked
up into my eyes as he opened his mouth and took all of me to the hilt.  His
arms went around my hips and pulled me tighter to him as his throat muscles
worked my throbbing cock.  My knees were shaking and thought I would fall
to the floor.  Between my moans I managed to say.

"Sean, babe, the bed, to the bed."

He turned me and I fell on my back and he never let my cock slip from his
lips.  I urged him to turn around and I greedily took his leaking cock as
deeply as I could, our urgency was soon rewarded as we filled each other
with the fluid of our love.  When we recovered I called room service and
had a bottle of chilled champagne delivered.  Dressed in a hotel bathrobe I
signed for the champagne and tipped the bellman as he sat the bucket down
and opened the bottle.

When the door closed, Sean was out of his robe and taking mine off of me.
He led me to the shower and we started off taking a shower but ended with
hard cocks and a need to make love, slow and deliberate, Sensual and
tender. That is exactly the way we started, but somewhere just after
sensual and tender our lust for one another reappeared and took over.

Sean's the person I know best in the entire world and I can never get
enough of him, to get any closer we will need to merge into one body.  But
that isn't going to happen. The things our bodies can do together make us
sure that we like things just the way they are.  Our biggest sexual problem
of late is deciding who gets to bottom first. Sean won and I prepared him
for entry with plenty of lubricant and my four fingers opening him up with
his moans and movement on my hand. Spreading wide and opening his arms to
me I knee walked between his legs until my leaking cock rested at his
opening. I lowered myself for his kiss as he wrapped his legs around my
hips and pushed me deep inside him. I whimpered, the rush of feelings that
assailed my cock as I plunged inside him forced the sound from my throat.

Sean's hips rose to meet my cock just at the moment of my deepest
penetration, I moaned again as his hips attacked my cock.  The next forty
five minutes or so were frantic.  It was if we knew there would never
another night like this.  Our bodies churned together.  My cock filling his
insides as his velvet rectal muscles massaged my hardness.  Neither of us
wanted this to end, we would get right up to the edge and ease back, this
went on time and time again. Until finally we reached that point, there was
no stopping now, each thrust was hard, fast and deep with Sean throwing his
hips up to grind hard against me.

In our sexual frenzy we passed from men in love to animals in rut. Nothing
else matters but this act, there's that indescribable feeling a man gets as
he fucks. It's before the orgasm starts, it's the feelings of the friction
against the cock that are so good they make goose flesh for a moment, so
good, I wonder how anything can feel like this.  My cock rules but Sean's
ass owns every hard throbbing centimeter of it.  I'm his slave, doing his
bidding, willingly, gladly servicing his need.

One second were in a frantic rut and the next we are frozen, dead still
pushing, grinding, trying to get more cock deeper in his ass.  Neither of
us is breathing, it is the moment, then. oh my god! SEAN!  My semen is
rushing from my testicles to spray his insides with my love, he covers both
of us with a continuous stream, his white hot semen gluing us together when
I collapse atop him.  We gasp for air as I slide off to his side.  No words
pass between us.  None are necessary.  We know, we've done this before.
It's one of the things we love about the other, the ability to make each
other feel like this.  When our breathing slows to normal we slept, wrapped
together with arms and legs and the joy of us. It's as close to oneness as
we can ever achieve, it's the most incredible, most wonderful union of our
love.

In the frenzy of last night we had forgotten to close the blackout drapes,
only the sheer ones were closed and the room flooded with light. We soon
awakened and crawled to the shower, still too weak to do more that wash
off.  Sean looked to me.

"You were incredible when we made love Cal, I'll never forget that. Never."

"Yeah, me too babe.  Our Key West Moment. Damn! I love you Sean, God knows
I love you."

"Yeah, together we are something special Callum.  You know, I think I
finally understand now the way the Dan and your Pops feel about each other.
There will never be anything for us but each other and more of what we did
last night."

We took a cab to the airport and were greeted at the concourse entrance by
Rich and Drew. They were leaving tomorrow but wanted to send us off and
trade numbers and email addresses. They had already invited us to come to
Birmingham for a weekend visit.

We arrived home at 6:15pm after a six hour flight. Caroline with there to
meet us and drove us to our house. We walked into our home and smelled the
unmistakable aroma of Pop's cooking. As we entered the kitchen Pops grabbed
us in a hug.

"Welcome Home guys. We missed you!" Pops beamed at us.

"What a great surprise, Mr. C." Sean beamed right back at him.

"Dan's gone to get some wine, he'll be back in a few. You guys go freshen
up, take a nap, whatever you want.  I'm glad you guys are home and safe. I
can see by your faces that you've had a great time."

Sean and I were putting things away and sorting out clothes for the laundry
when there wa a knock on our door.

"Come on in, we're as decent as were gonna be." Sean said.

Dan rushed in and hugged us to him.

"Welcome home guys, we sure have missed you. Wow, you two are glowing.  I
guess that means you had a great time."

"Yeah, it was great, you and Pops need to go down there Dan. The freedom to
kiss, hold hands, is the greatest feeling.  We met a couple from Birmingham
and became friends, they've invited us for a weekend soon.

This trip changed us Dan.  For the first time I think we both came to
understand just how much we mean to each other, the depth of our feelings
for each other.  And last night, we made the earth move under us, it may
have been only the circumstances but we'll never forget last night.  We
understand more about you and Pops too, how you love each other and the
things you guys did to keep Sean and I from being separated like you guys
were.  We love you Dan."

Dan went back to Pops and we finished our unpacking. We only had twelve
days now before we started our new jobs. Sean got into the shower and I
went out to be with Pops and Dan.

I found them in the kitchen hugging each other and Dan was crying, I went
back to our room wondering what had happened. In a few minutes Pops came
looking for me.

"Come back Cal, Dan's okay, he was just very emotional after you guys
talked.  He loves you guys so much, you really touched his heart.  You know
both Dan and I are big cry babies when it comes to emotional stuff like
that.  I could cry every time he makes love to me, but I fight it off.
Son, I hope that someday we'll be able to convey just how proud of you and
Sean we are."

We heard Sean shut off the shower and Pops left to go back to Dan. Sean
came out toweling his hair, his beautiful naked body stirred the fire in
me, when he turned slightly and I saw his fantastic butt, I groaned out
loud, I pulled him to the bed and held him against me as we kissed.

"You are so beautiful, thanks for loving me Sean."

"I always have, since we were four years old, all I've ever wanted was to
be with Callum Clarke.  You are my dream come true.  But dreams aside, we
have to get up babe, Dan and your Pops are waiting for us.  They want to
spend some time with us, hear about our trip.  They really do miss us not
being around them like we were in college.  Get up, lets dress and go join
them.

We went to the kitchen and hugged each other again and Pops and Dan wanted
to hear all about the trip.  After our recommendation they began talking
about taking a trip down there themselves. Before we were ready for it, the
month was ending and work loomed on the horizon.  Secretly, I was as
excited as I had been when I went away to college.  Sean was far ahead of
me as usual, he had a new product in his head that he was anxious to get
started on.  Starting on Friday we went shopping and got our 'first day'
outfits and then to a movie that night. Saturday we played tennis for two
hours, then a jog for a few miles and home to get ready for a night out.

We haven't been out since Key West and tonight we were going dancing at
Club Blu on Church Street.  We got there at almost midnight and there was a
small line but it moved fast and once in the place was packed, great music
and we went straight to the dance floor.  We were really getting into the
music and before long we had pulled off our tees and were just in our
jeans.  Soon we were surrounded by naked torsos glistening with sweat.
Guys coming on to us only made us put of a better show, dancing, dry
humping each other, generally acting like sluts.

When we gave it up and headed for the bar there were a few cheers for us.
We both had only club soda and went to the patio to cool down. No sooner
than we had found a spot and sat on the stone wall when two guys rushed up
to us.

"Callum? Sean? is it really you?"

"Good Grief! Dylan, Cameron from Hillsborough High! I don't believe
this. How are you guys."

"It's a small world guys, We heard that you guys were at WKU in Bowling
Green. How's it going? Cameron asked.

"We Graduated last June. We're out for our last fling for a while. We both
start work on Monday. I'm with Quanta Computers and Cal is with Hayden
Architectural Design as an Industrial Engineer. " Sean said.

"I don't mean to pry but are you guys a couple now?" Dylan asked.

We laughed, and Sean wrapped an arm around my waist and kissed my neck.

"Very much so guys. Very much so. We were fooling around a bit our Jr. &
Sr. years in High School and things got more serious when I went to Austin
Peay and Cal was at WKU.  Luckily I got a transfer and we spent the last
two years and two semesters together in an apartment at Cal's Dad's."

"What about you guys" Cal asked.

Cameron blushed and looked to Dylan.

"We started dating last month.  We ran into each other here one night and
started dancing and we've sort of stuck together since.  I can't speak for
Cam but I like where we are together and where it seems to be heading.'

Cam gently took Dylan's hand and moved closer to him.

"You guys will have to come over for dinner one night soon. We're in
Hillsboro Village, Cal's Dad sold us his place there." Sean said.

Dylan and Cam went to get drinks and Sean turned to me.

"Wow, did you ever have a clue about either of them? Surprised just doesn't
cover it.  Dylan the football star and Cam the basketballer. Both of them
were always with the cutest girls."

"No, I never could have guessed them to be gay and even more surprising is
that they're together.  Oh my god! Sean, look who's coming over here!"

"Well I will be damned. Callum Clarke and Sean Fisher in a gay bar!"

'Hey there Josh. Seeing you here is the big surprise.  I remember that
there wasn't a Cheerleader or Majorette you didn't brag about doing." Cal
laughed.

"Well, what can I say, I Got drunk one night and woke up the next morning
in bed with a dude who proceeded to show me what man to man sex was all
about. I knew I liked it and I haven't been with a woman since.  You two
are looking mighty fine yourselves.  You aren't the same gawky kids from
High School for sure.  Sean, that's about the best looking ass I've ever
seen on a guy. You dating anyone these days?" Josh asked.

Sean opened his mouth but I beat him to it.

"Yes he is with me, has been for three years now.  But we aren't just
dating.  Sean and I are life partners Josh. We're together, and we like it
that way.

Josh saw Cam and Dylan on there way back to us and left in a hurry.

"So was that creep trying to get one of you to go out with him?" Dylan
hissed.

"Yeah but he took off as soon as he saw you guys.  What's with him? Sean
asked.

"Cam decked him when he made a pass and grabbed my butt." Dylan said
hugging Cam to him.

"He was a jerk in High School and is still a jerk." Cal added.

We sat and talked with Dylan and Cam, getting caught up with had happened
to all of us since our High School days.  We made a final trip to the dance
floor and lasted another half hour before swapping email and phone numbers
then saying goodnight to Dylan and Cameron.  They both were good guys in
High School, not close friends then but always nice and liked by everyone.
I was glad we met up with them, it would be nice to have friends our age to
pal around with.

Suddenly, it was Monday Morning and we headed out to our new jobs. Most of
my day was spent in orientation and a tour of the building. I spent the
last hour in my cubicle sorting everything out, setting up a company
email. Tomorrow I would spend the day with the engineers.

I was home just before six and was just coming back to the kitchen in
shorts and a tee with Sean came in.

"Hey babe, I had the greatest day.  How was yours?" Sean asked.

"Mostly orientation, sort of boring." I replied

I ran some apples through the juicer and whipped us up a couple of Vodka
Ciders. (My own concoction of apple juice, vodka and a splash of vermouth,
garnished with a stick of cinnamon.)

We went out to the deck with our drinks. We had been there only a few
minutes when Sean started laughing.

"What's so funny Sean?"

"Life guess, Cal. It wasn't so long ago that we were guests here sitting
around on this deck, thinking about how cool your Dad was with this neat
house.  Now it's ours.  Life takes some funny and weird twist and turns."

"I've always loved this place and now it is ours, The Stang is back in it's
Garage here.  We're two very lucky guys babe. Very Lucky."

We both settled into our jobs easily, getting challenging assignments
fairly quickly and both impressing our superiors with the quality and speed
with which we completed the tasks.  In Mid September we decided to go to
Bowling Green for the WKU football game and to spend some time with Dan and
Pops.  We loaded up the Range Rover and headed out early on a glorious,
beautiful Saturday morning. I had just seen the sign for the Kentucky State
line when my whole world came crashing down.

Sean was driving and had switched to the left lane to pass a semi pulling
two trailers.  We were well within the speed limit, Sean is the best driver
I know.  One second we were talking and the next there was a Dodge Ram
Pickup coming at us airborne across the median.

The nearest hospital was in Franklin, Ky. and that is where I woke at 2am
on Sunday morning.  I was screaming for Sean when I woke.  No one would
answer the only question on my mind.  Where is Sean?  I was given a
sedative and went back into never never land, asking over and over where is
Sean? where is Sean? where is Sean?

The next time I was awake, I saw my Mom through the window.  In just a few
minutes she was at my side, tears streaking her cheeks.

"Mom! please, where is Sean"

"Cal, Sean was airlifted back to Vanderbilt.  He is in a coma, I talked to
Amanda, his Mom about an hour ago.  He has a severe head injury, he's alive
but he's in really bad shape Son."

The tears were flooding from, my eyes, Mom held me and wiped my eyes.

"We have to pray for him Callum, that's all we can do right now." she
sobbed.

"Where's Pops, I need Dad. Where is he."

"He's here Cal, I'll go get him"

Pops was almost running into my cubicle.

"Callum! Oh thank you God"

"Pops, listen. you gotta get me to Vanderbilt, I gotta be with him, Dad, he
may not make it, I gotta be there with him. You know, you and Dan
understand.  Help me Dad, please help me.  I have to be there, please. I
have to be with him."

"I know son. I know.  I'll do everything I can.  I'll send your Mother back
in while I get working on this."

T.J.

Danny saw the determined look on my face as I returned to the waiting
area. We sat down and he told me what Cal wanted.  Both of us had tears
spilling down our faces.

"T.J. let me make a call to my plant Manager, we have a helicopter.  I
think I can get him to let us use it to take Callum to Nashville."

I went in search of Cal's doctors and they were not very keen on letting
him go. He had broken bones, a collapsed lung and a concussion; but I
managed to get them to release him and to call Vanderbilt and let them know
he was being airlifted in.

I went back to the ICU where Cal and his mother were.  I kissed Janie on
the cheek and told her we were flying Cal to Vanderbilt in an hour. Cal
broke into sobs and held his arm up for me to hold him, I flashed back to
him as a little kid holding his arms up for me to pick him up.  Cal's body
was wracked with sobbing as he held tightly to me.

"He can't die Dad, please God, he can't die."

I rocked him back and forth, holding him as tightly as I could without
hurting him. I looked to Janie and asked her to call Amanda and let her
know we would be coming there with Callum and to try and smooth the way for
Cal to get into the ICU with Sean.  Ask if there is any change in Sean too.
You're his mom, you know what he needs to know and what he doesn't just
yet.  She nodded her head that she understood.

"Dan has the GM helicopter in the air on it's way here right now. You and
Dan go with Cal in the Copter, Suze and I will drive."

Cal turned his head to look at me.

"I knew you could do it, you're the greatest Pops, I just have to be there
with him, I gotta pull him through this. No matter what happens, I gotta be
there.  I do."

Janie was sobbing now, she walked out to calm herself.  I knew her, she'd
get control quickly.  Dan sent a text that the 'Copter was 10 minutes
away. The Nurses got him ready and onto a portable gurney, 5 Minutes after
landing the 'Copter rose into the air with Dan, Janie and Callum all
watching me and Suze fade into the distance as they flew south.  I said a
prayer for their safe flight, three of the five people I love the most, are
in that helicopter.  I hugged Suze to me and kissed the top of her
head."Let's hit the road, kiddo, we gotta get to Nashville."

CALLUM

I was terrified that I would lose Sean. All I know is that he has a Severe
Head Injury, that means they had to open his skull because of the swelling
in his brain.  Dan told me what he had learned from the State Police.
There was a high speed chase going on with the Dodge pickup running from
the troopers.  He had been involved in a hit and run accident and they
didn't catch him in time.  The Driver of the pickup was DOA at the hospital
he said.  The toxicology reports would likely show alcohol or drugs, more
likely it would be both.  Dan held my hand and my Mom's too. Once I opened
my eyes to see him with his eyes closed and his lips moving in silence. I
knew he was praying, I squeezed his hand to let him know how much I loved
him.  The pilot called to Dan that we would be landing at Vanderbilt
Hospital in 5 minutes.  He got into his seat and buckled up.

Dad's former boss at Belmont, Dr. Fisher, was there with another man as Dan
and Mom shook their hands while the orderlies whisked me away into the
hospital.  Mom had called Dr. Fisher from the 'copter asking if he knew
anyone with influence at Vanderbilt.  She related what had happened and he
told her not to worry, he'd take care of it.  Dr. Fisher introduced Dan and
Mom to Mr. Baker who was a personal friend of Dr. Fishers and on the Board
of Directors of Belmont College and the Board of Directors of Vanderbilt
Hospital.  They assured Dan and Mom that I was being taken to Sean in the
ICU as we spoke.

DANIEL

I was glad to see Dr. Fisher on the Helipad. I met him and his wife at the
big party back on New Year's Eve. He explained that Mr. Baker had smoothed
the way to get Callum to Sean's bedside.

Mr. Baker had inquired and we learned that Sean was in critical condition
and the prognosis was very bleak.  With the lead surgeon saying he was
amazed that he arrived alive in his condition.  Janie sobbed aloud and held
onto my arm

As we walked into the ICU waiting area Amanda and Carter rushed up to greet
us and we were solemn and asking it there had been any change in Sean's
condition.  Carter told us that one of Sean's nurses told Amanda that she
was there when Cal was rolled in.  When Cal took Sean's hand the nurse said
Sean's heart rate increased, they heard it on the monitor. When Cal talked
to him his heart rate increased again and was very strong.  Carter, Sean's
Dad, said that if there is anyone Sean will fight for it's Callum.  Their
love for each other may save my Sean. I'm betting on it.

T.J.

Suze and I got to the ICU waiting area about an 90 minutes after we left
the Hospital in Kentucky.  Dan pulled me aside and briefed me on Sean's
condition and what my ex boss had done for us. Then he told me about the
Nurse's story when Cal was rolled in and took Sean's hand.  I couldn't help
it, I cried, great sobs wracked my body now. Dan held me close. Knowing
that Cal's touch had increased Sean's heart rate made me know this rush to
get Cal here was the right thing to do. When we went back to the group in
the waiting area, Jerry had arrived and Dr. Fisher was there. I went to him
and hugged him, thanking him for his part if helping my son and Sean.

Janie, Jerry and Suze stayed with Sean's parents and sister while Dan and I
went to the hospital cafeteria, I hadn't eaten since dinner last night. I
still wasn't hungry but I picked up a salad knowing I had to eat something.
I would take a bite then start crying, Dan took my hand and immediately I
felt better. I looked at Dan in surprise,

"Did you feel that Danny? I felt your energy the second you took my
hand. That must be what Sean felt when Cal took his.  I was feeling so
badly and your touch sent... I don't know, maybe the feeling was your
energy, your love.  I just know it made me feel better.  I feel better
about Sean now too.  If he feels from Cal what I felt from you he'll be
okay, I just know that somehow."

We returned to the ICU and sent Janie, Jerry, Suze and Sean's family to the
cafeteria. When they came back I asked Janie if she had keys to the boy's
place, my old home. She dug them out of her bag and we told her that we'd
stay there tonight. We didn't have any clothes to change into so we left
early and went to the Mall shops in GreenHills for extra clothes.

The next time I went in to the ICU Cal's bed was right next to Sean's, he
held Sean's hand constantly, talking to him, loving him, only breaking
contact when the Doctors were examining them.  Callum never showed that he
was in any pain although he had a broken arm, a broken leg, a collapsed
lung, three broken ribs and a concussion.  All his attention was focused on
Sean.

Using his magic GM Business card, Dan had managed to get a Kentucky State
trooper to email him a copy of the accident report.  They were passing a
semi when the pickup hit and the Range Rover was pushed under the semi
trailer and was dragged down the highway. The side airbags were the ones
that saved their lives. Reading the report made me sick to my stomach and I
had to get to the restroom quickly.  We came so close to losing both of
them.

I knew that it would be a few of Days before the doctors would let Sean
wake up.  He was in an induced coma now to help the swelling in his brain
lessen, but his vital signs were much stronger than when he first
arrived. His surgeon was encouraged. He confided to Carter that he was
amazed that Sean was still alive and getting stronger. When the swelling
was gone they would then let him wake slowly.  I called and talked with
Carter, Sean's Dad, and told him that Dan and I would get dinner and a nap
and we would relieve him and his wife around 10 pm.  Like me, Carter knew
that it would be a few days before Sean wakes. There was nothing we could
do but be there.  We only got to see them for 5 minutes every four hours.
But some of us would be there for that 5 minutes every time.

Janie came at 7am to relive Dan and I, and Sean's folks came at 4pm.  We
had a schedule established and it worked well.  When I went in to see
Callum, he kept thanking me for getting him here so quickly. I told him
that it wasn't me, Dan got the GM helicopter to fly him here.  I'm
beginning to think that he and his Business Card could fix anything.  Cal
told me to give him a kiss for him.  Cal told me all about the heart rate
increase and he was smiling as he held Sean's hand.  Before I left I kissed
them both on the forehead and told them I loved them.The call finally came
the following Sunday afternoon a week and a day after the accident.

"Sean's awake."  Carter shouted into the phone.

His doctors have probed and prodded and he seems to be coming around.
There are broken bones to mend and we won't know for a while if there is
any permanent brain damage.  But he's awake and alert. TJ. The second that
Cal took Sean's hand he began healing, getting better. It's the darndest
thing I've ever heard of.  It's like Cal's energy flowed into Sean.
Amazing.  I envy them, that they can be so close, Love is a mighty powerful
drug, I know that now. I've seen it save my son!"

CALLUM

I turned my head to look at Sean, his head was bandaged but that beautiful
face that I love so much was visible in profile. Even though we lay here in
a hospital, our bodies mangled and bruised, I could only feel grateful that
Sean was still here.  I have prayed more in this past week than I ever have
before.  I closed my eyes and whispered yet another plea for Sean's life.

When I opened my eyes Sean's head had turned toward me and slowly his eyes
fluttered open.  A sob came from deep inside me as joy and relief flooded
my mind and body.  My voice cracked and choked when I spoke to him.

"Welcome back Babe, I've been waiting for you."

Sean whispered. " I knew it was you.  I was going to the light, I could see
the shadowy figures waiting for me there, beckoning me to come in.  I began
rising then suddenly someone took my hand and held me, the hand pulled me
back, I knew it had to be you holding on to me, not letting me go.  Your
energy flowed into me.  You kept me here, you kept us together.  I knew it
was you holding my hand, keeping me here." Sean whispered hoarsely.

I pushed the call button for the Nurse, when she saw that Sean was awake
she immediately called for the Doctor.  After a quick check of his vitals
and having Sean follow his finger with his eyes.  He smiled and said.

"Your my miracle patient Sean.  I'm so happy to see you awake.  Rest now,
I'll check back with you in a half hour or so.  Rest!"

The nurse spooned a small piece of ice into his mouth and Sean closed his
eyes again and gave my hand a strong squeeze.  We are going to make it.  I
know it now

One month and three days after the accident Sean got to come home.  I was
using a walker out of the house and a crutch inside, Both of us were skin
and bones now, each of us having lost more that twenty pounds. Mr. Fisher,
Sean's dad, wheeled Sean in his chair, up the portable ramp he and Pops had
made.  The smile on Sean's face when we got him into the house was
priceless.  We took him straight to our bedroom and got him onto the bed
. I crawled in beside him and as we lay there together, Sean let out a big
sigh. He struggled to form his words but managed to say

"We home. Thanks Mr. Pops, Dad, Dan We love," Sean said.

T.J.

Carter turned and went back to the kitchen, fighting back the tears after
listening to Sean struggle to speak.  I lingered just a bit.

"You guys rest, take a nap, no hanky panky yet.  Kissing and cuddling is
all you get to do for a while guys.  But just think how great that first
time will be.  They both blushed.  I'll bring in water, tissues,magazines
and your remote control.  Dan and I had a flat screen put in here while you
guys recuperate.  Here's a bell.  Ring it and someone will come
running. Get some rest guys!

Carter and Amanda will take over helping you guys get through the days. I
have to get back to WKU and fund raising. Sean and Callum needed full time
care and Carter and I agreed to split the cost that insurance wouldn't pay
for the 24/7 care that is required.

Sean had to learn to walk again and work on his short term memory. He
doesn't remember the accident.  He remembers talking with Cal on the way to
WKU and his next memory is Cal holding his hand in the ICU. He said as soon
as they touched he knew it was Cal, he felt his energy and even in a coma
he knew Cal was talking to him and holding his hand.

CALLUM

Sean's Mom and Dad came by every day, His mom checked our medicines to be
certain Charles, our nurse wasn't sneaking our pain pills.  I had talked
with him a good bit and felt that he was a good and honest guy.  I really
wasn't worried that he would steal from us. I was just glad he was here. I
couldn't even help Sean onto or off the toilet. Charles gave us both sponge
baths and he handed me the washcloth to let me do my own private areas and
I did Sean's as well.

On friday around noon Pops and Dan walked in.  Dan had flown to Nashville
and Pops picked him up at the airport and came to our place. They were
really cute after being apart for a week, they had a hard time keeping
their hands to themselves.  I gave Charles the weekend off and asked him to
come back around 7pm Sunday night.  He chatted a bit with Dan and Pops,
making sure they knew the meds and when we had to take them, he even had a
list made for them.  He came to say goodbye to Sean and I, telling us to be
good and he'd see us Sunday night.  Pops called Amanda and Carter and told
them that he and Dan would be here through Sunday afternoon if they wanted
to sleep in all weekend.

When Dan walked into our room Sean cried out, he hadn't seen Dan in more
than two weeks. He hugged Dan and said.

'DAN!  Miss you. Stay"

Dan had been told about Sean's trouble speaking and the memory loss but it
hadn't really registered in his brain until he heard Sean speak. As he
hugged Sean I saw the tear streak down his cheek.

Dan laughed wiping his eyes,

"I bet I missed you more , Sean."

Sean smiled and reached for my hand and looked back to Dan.

"Love Dan."

Dan stood and turned away, trying to hide his sobbing. He grabbed a tissue,
dabbed his eyes and bent to kiss Sean's cheek..

"And we love you guys. I'm going to find TJ before he starts rearranging
your kitchen cabinets.  Ring the bell if you need us."

After he left I heard him crying and I knew that Pop's was holding him.

T.J.

"He'll get better Dan, he has therapy everyday.  I know how it hurts, I've
cried gallons over Sean these past weeks.  You'll see, Cal is so patient
with him and works him hard making him get his words right.  He has to
concentrate on what he's saying and it comes out fine.  In six months all
this will just be a bad memory.  Our boys will bounce back strong Danny, I
know they will, they have to."

Dan was anxious the whole day, checking on the boys every few
minutes. Finally I got him to lie on the sofa with his head in my lap and
he went to sleep as I gently rubbed at his temples.  I nodded off too.  We
slept over an hour before I heard the tinkle of the bell in the boy's room
I eased out from under Dan and went to their room. Sean needed to use the
toilet and I helped him to stand and then eased him down onto the toilet. I
went back and sat on the bed with Cal.

"How are you holding up Son. I know you have to put on this strong act for
him but come to our room if you just want to be held, or to cry. It's good
to show him your strong and eager to help him, but don't forget that you
need support too.  He can't do that just yet.  We're here for you Son.

There's going to be a preliminary court hearing to determine just cause for
a lawsuit.  A formality really.  I'll find out if it would be better for
you and Sean to attend or to stay away.  Seeing the two on you may sway the
judge's opinion.  We'll see what Sean's Doctor says, then what your Lawyer
says.

What we want to be sure of is that all the medical bills are taken care
of. And that Sean has adequate therapy and care until he is back to
normal. You guys don't have to worry about any of that.  Sean's Dad has
hired you guys a terrific lawyer. He'll be coming by soon to meet you
guys."

CALLUM

It took almost a year before Sean was able to return to his job.  But to
his credit he worked very hard to regain his strength, and his mental
faculties as well.  I had returned to my job four months after the
accident. While the accident proved to be the most challenging and trying
time of our lives, in the end, it made us stronger. Sean and I are each
only part of a unit. Together we are whole.

When Sean had regained his mobility we took a weekend and went to visit Dan
and Pops.  It was good to be back in their house.  It had been our home for
more than two years. Suze was in our old apartment and we visited with her.
She had Bill, her steady boyfriend and Sean and I for dinner one night.  It
was evident that she has been taking cooking lessons from Pops.  I was
amazed at her wonderful dinner.  After we guys cleaned up the dishes she
took Sean away to her room.  They have been close to each other forever,
like soul mates she said often.  That left me and Bill to get to know each
other.

I learned that he was majoring in Finance/Business Management and was a
member of the Same fraternity as Sean and I.  He asked a lot of questions
about Sean and I and even more about Pops and Dan. I began to think that he
was a bit afraid of Pops for some reason. Later on I learned why! Bill
asked me to go with him when he asks Dad for his blessing when he tells
Pops he intends to ask Suze to marry him.  I was all smiles, and told him I
would gladly be his witness.  Suze had already confided that she was in
love.  I was really happy for them.  Bill is a great guy, he has a big
family with two brothers and two sisters.  He's the middle child with one
brother and one sister older. His Dad owns four Ford Dealerships in
Southern Kentucky and his Mom is a top Realtor with Re/Max.

SEAN

The accident ordeal is behind us now.  I'm convinced that I lived through
that first week because of Callum.  My Dad had told me how I had been
airlifted to Vanderbilt from the accident scene and Cal was taken to the
Hospital in Franklin, Kentucky.  When Cal woke about 2 am he was screaming
"Where's Sean" over and over but no one would tell him where I
was. Finally, when his Mom was let in to see him she told him that I was
sent to Vanderbilt. He begged his Dad to get him sent to be with me. I'm
told that everyone but Cal was expecting me to die, even the Doctors and
Vanderbilt were surprised I arrived there alive. Cal got his Dad to get him
sent to Vanderbilt, Dan got the GM helicopter to take him. Cal kept saying
he had to be there with me, no matter what.

It's true that even in a coma you can be aware of what is happening around
you. The second that Callum took my hand in the ICU I knew it was him
holding my hand.  I felt him, his love, his energy flow into me. I knew he
was there, holding me, not letting me go.

The time in rehab was the hardest, knowing what I wanted to say but not
being able to get the words to come out right was scary at first then it
just made me mad. Seeing Cal doing everything while I sat in around in
wheelchair or lying in bed made me determined, I worked hard with the
therapist trying to get back to my Before Accident life.

Cal and I have taken to referring to the happenings in our life as either
BA or AA, before the accident or after the accident.  In some important
ways, we will never be the same as BA.  We both know that we were spared
for a reason.  What that reason might be is yet unclear.  We were raised
going to church regularly and like most teens, when we went away to college
we only went to church when we were back at home.

Near death experiences have changed many lives, Callum and I are no
different.  We feel a need to give back to the community. It just doesn't
seem right that we have so much and were not helping anyone else. Our
HighSchool friends Dylan and Cameron invited us to go to church with them
at West End Methodist, once we met Pastor Williams, we were ready to join.
There are several gay and lesbian couples in the church and there are
special classes for educating the congregation at large and making the gay
couples welcome.  We both volunteered with Meals on Wheels and the Aids
Nashville group and began to feel that we were making a difference.

CALLUM

Sean worked very hard in his rehab, the insurance award covered the bills,
including the private therapist for three months after the accident. He
didn't have to use the money Dan and Pops had given him last Christmas and
was grateful that the insurance settlement would pay the bills.  Nine
months AA (after accident), Sean was speaking clearly and plainly and his
mind was sharp as ever.  He talked his doctor into letting him go back to
work part time at first.

Living only minutes from both our Mom's, we didn't stay skin and bones for
long.  Our Mom's tag teamed us, alternating days bringing in their home
cooked meals.  There was nothing we could say that would keep them from
feeding their boys.  The Mom genes took over and no one messed with the two
of them.  I finally had to go buy a small chest freezer for all the food we
were keeping in the house.  I could go to that freezer now and have a full
course dinner for eight ready in less than an hour.

I saw the change in Sean when I came home on his first day back at work, He
had returned to work part time. He was at his desk reading Technical
Manuals on every new product Quanta had produced since the accident. The
speed with which his mind healed from then on was amazing.  Back in his
element he excelled.  His doctor even commented that he wished now that he
had let Sean go back sooner.

On a personal level we had been playing things safe sexually, mostly oral
and frottage. I wasn't ready to risk any emotional damage with him so we
just did the easy things, no intercourse for either of us.  On the Friday
night completing his return to work for a week, Sean met me at the door
when I came into the house.  After a quick kiss hello he took my hand and
led me to our room.  Inside he locked the door and turned to me.

"Tonight's the night Callum. We're returning to our BA (before accident)
type of lovemaking.  Get naked and inside of me where you belong. I need
you Cal.  Just like when you took my hand in the ICU, I started healing.
Now there's another kind of healing we both need. Let's make love
Cal. Since you have been physically able, you've provided for my every wish
and need. Now we need to get back to being Sean and Cal completely. Make
love with me Callum, we need this."

I reached for my top shirt button but Sean brushed my hand away.

"Oh no let me, you're my prize to unwrap. This beautiful body of yours,
your wonderful mind, all the things that make you Callum Clarke that I love
so.  No one can ever make me feel like you do babe.  Sean went to his knees
taking my dress slacks and boxer shorts to the floor with him. My knees
began trembling when he sucked my testicles into his hot mouth, he let go
long enough for us to get on the bed and he had them back in his mouth
pulling and tugging while I moaned and writhed on our bed.  He jumped up
and shed all his clothes and dove back to my testicles.  With one hand he
pulled my throbbing cock from against by stomach and took it deep into his
throat, bobbing and twisting. He broke away just before I was ready to cum.

"No, not tonight Cal, tonight is old school you're going to Fuck me
babe. Tonight we finally put that accident behind us for good.  Let me show
you how much I love you.  Make me know my man is inside me.  Fuck me hard
Callum, put all of that long, hard cock inside me now."

In seconds he was on his back, legs wide and holing up his arms to hug me
to him.  A quick shot of lube inside him and some slathered on me; I shed
tears as my cock slid back into it's home.  Halfway in, Sean cried out for
more, his legs around my hips he pulled me to his depths in one motion.
Just as I began to grind into his pelvis he thrust his ass up at my cock,
the frantic, driving, plunging pulse of our long awaited fuck had begun.

Technically we were making love, but what we were experiencing was raw,
sensual lust.  The deprivation of our sexual preference ended in hard, raw
fucking.  Sean cried out in the joy of our union.  Our ability to let go
and ride our bodies to that sexual and emotional release that binds us
together so completely with love never faltered. I cannot count the times
that we've made love like this but I do know that Sean has never spilled so
much semen between us.  Mine oozed from his ass onto the sheet into a
widening puddle.

Cuddled onto my heaving chest, Sean giggled.

"Yeah, that was it.  Just what I wanted and we needed.  I hope we never
have to go so long without doing that again.  Rest up Cal, your butt is up
next!"

SEAN

We're back!  Sean and Callum, we're back to the guys we were B.A! Somewhere
in all the fear, pain and trauma we each suffered through, Callum and I
came away more in love than ever before. Cal's determination to have me
well and whole again, still gives me chills. He taught me to talk and think
again, never once losing his cool nor getting angry with me.  He pushed me
hard and I'm grateful for his insistence that I do it till I got it
right. Without him, I could have most likely remained an invalid for the
remainder of my life.

I've no doubt that had I been left paralyzed or crippled, Cal would have
done everything the same.  He would have accepted a permanent disability as
long as he was certain I was doing all I possibly could.I'm just as certain
that he saved my life.  His knowing he had to be with me, getting his Dad
and Dan to fly him to my side and finally his touch. When first took my
hand in the ICU, I knew it was him the moment we touched, and now I know I
can do anything with callum beside me.  With all we've been through I know
we are the luckiest two guys around. We have each other.

CALLUM

I cried like a baby when Sean made love with me earlier tonight. This past
year has been the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. There were times
when I didn't think I could do what I knew I had to do.  Finally there came
the time when I was at the point of breaking down.  Even now I find it odd
and strange that despite my close relationship with Pops, my Dad, it was
Dan that I turned to for comfort.  It was Dan's shoulder I cried on when
Sean was so very ill.

When we were in rehab and both making great progress in getting back to who
we were, Dan told me that he shared everything he and I talked about with
Pops.  He explained that Dad had been hurt at first that I hadn't come to
him.  Dan explained to him that Dad and I were too close and that the
Father/Son barrier could never be put aside.  That's just who we are.  In
the end, Dan and I came to be even closer than he is with Connor, his own
son.  I gained a new respect for Dan during our rehabilitation and told
Pops once on one of his visits just how lucky he and I were to have found
such perfect partners.

Sean went back to work full time the first week in December, a year and
just over two months after the accident.  By the end of the following June
he had developed a new technology feature that let a laptop project it's
display in mid air, similar to fighter jet technology called Heads up
display.  This innovation is combined with the ability to touch and scroll
the images like phones can do.  His company stands to make a fortune and
they havemade Sean a very rich young man.

For his birthday this year Dan gave Pops a week in Key West.  They came
back as enthused as Sean and I were and the four of us made plans to go
back in the spring.  Our friends Drew and Rich from Birmingham came to
visit for a weekend and we had a great time.  We told them we were going
back to Key west soon with Dan and Pops.  While Drew and Rich were visiting
we got a skype message from Dan and He and Pops got to meet Drew and Rich
via the computer.  Sean has our 60 inch flat panel TV hooked to the
computer and Dan and Pops were bigger than life.  After the cyber visit
both guys were raving about Dan and Pops.

Our friends from High School, Dylan and Cameron are regular visitors,
they've recently made their commitment to each other and are now living
together. They soon became our closest friends. Hardly a week went by
without us having at least one meal together and often more than one.

Dan's ex-wife, Mary Ann, will soon be getting married to her longtime
boyfriend and both Malin and Connor came to complain to Dan about it. He
got a bit miffed with them and told them both to grow up and stop thinking
only of themselves and to be happy that their mother had found someone to
love and be loved by. Pops said he wasn't in the room with Dan when he
started in of Malin and Connor but he heard Dan shouting at them to grow
up.

Daniel

"Malin, you're 90 minutes away in Louisville at school. What possible
reason can you have for not wanting your Mom to marry Jim?"

She didn't answer, just looked at the floor.  An impossible thought ran
through Dan's mind just then.

"Malin, has Jim ever said or done anything that was rude or of a sexual
nature toward you?"

"Eeewww, DAD! No!  Jim has always been nice to me, it's just me I guess. I
remember how she tried to get us to hate you when you first divorced.  I
have a hard time seeing her so happy now.  She was so mean to you."

I went to her and pulled her into a hug.

"I can understand that sweetie, and as your old man I even like it a little
bit.  But we can't begrudge her some happiness. You and your brother will
most likely never live with her again. She's lost her two babies. Without
Jim there it would be very bad for her.  And don't forget, Jim will be
there to take the brunt of her anger and frustration instead of you, Connor
or me. That alone is enough reason to be all for this marriage."

She laughed and so did her brother.

'Well, I hadn't thought of it that way.  Gee, you're right Dad."

They both stayed for dinner, and TJ made a pot roast dinner with potatoes,
carrots and onions and homemade yeast rolls. The biggest surprize of the
evening was how friendly and talkative they were with TJ.  For reasons only
they know, they had always treated TJ cooley, never really taking the time
to get to know him as a person.  But this night they were completely tuned
into him and he loved it.

I was so happy that Malin and Connor were finally taking the time to get to
know TJ, I've wanted them to accept him like his family accepted me but
that didn't happen, but tonight has been a breakthrough for them. TJ knew
that tonight was make it or break it with them and he absolutely charmed
them.  As they left near midnight Malin kissed TJ goodbye then turned to me
and whispered he's perfect for you Dad, as she hugged me. As they shook
hands Connor put an arm around TJ and hugged him. When they were gone TJ
pumped his fist in the air and shouted YES!  I laughed and looked at him
with a puzzled look.

"Who were those two? They looked like my kids but they surely didn't act
like them. I believe you finally got through to them that you're the
greatest guy ever TJ."

"No Danny, they know and I know that you're the greatest guy ever. But it
sure does feel great to have seen them like that.  I think they just may
like me now."

"Yeah, maybe I should have started yelling at them a lot earlier.  It seems
to have done them some good.  Did you hear that they'll both be coming back
to see us in two weeks.""Danny, I know you've been disappointed by the way
Connor and Malin have not shown that they are happy that you are with me.
That's why todays is so very special to me.  Good grief, Malin kissed me
goodbye, Connor hugged me.  I've considered their lack of acceptance of me
to be my biggest failure in our relationship.  It means the world to me to
have them to finally accept me as your partner.

Now you need to start planning now for Connor's Draft party. We know he's
going to the NFL when the Draft comes up. That deserves a Dan Drennan
Fabulous Affair."

My TJ, that man knows all the buttons to push to make me tremble and tear
up with emotion for him.  I have no words equal to the task of describing
my love for this man.  I give thanks everyday that we found each other
again."

CALLUM

Not long after I returned to work I was assigned to a new project as the
lead engineer.  I thought at the time that the company wanted to run me
off, get rid of me since I had been away so much because of the
accident. Everyone kept asking if I was okay and I thought that they were
just looking for a reason to get me out the door.  At first I felt sorry
for myself, the poor guy who had lived through such a horrific
accident. Then I got mad.  I can do this.  It is what I am trained to do.

There were three of us assigned to engineer this project to build a
manufacturing and shipping facility, we brainstormed, studied plans, put
ideas and ideals onto paper and finally after six weeks presented our
projected plans and costs analyses to the powers that be.  The waiting for
their review of what we presented was terrible.  We had other work to move
on to but in the back of our minds, we were waiting for the email to come
to the meeting to learn our fate.

I wonder if there are classes that company executives attend to learn how
to scare the bejesus out of their employees.  The looks on their faces when
the three of us entered the conference room told me that we had failed not
only had we failed, but from their faces, we failed miserably, completely.
Not one of the men facing us looked the least bit pleased or happy.  The
various Project supervisors started in, taking turns criticizing the cost
projections and moved on to our innovative production line process
modifications.  After listening to fifteen minutes of this criticism the
Project Manager stopped them.

"Mr. Clarke, the plan projections that your team presented have been
submitted to the client and accepted with a great deal of enthusiasm. The
entire project has been submitted to the engineering council for award
consideration.  You men have exceeded all of our expectations for your
first project.  Congratulations.  If your project wins the award it is
nominated for, yours will be the first team in our company to garner an
award for their first ever project.  We are extremely proud of of you and
your work."

I was absolutely limp.  I couldn't have moved if my pants had been on fire.
I know how hard it is for 'newbies' like us to gain any recognition in a
firm such as ours where the architects are always the stars.  After work I
treated the guys on the team to drinks and dinner.

We had noticed that we were treated differently since that day, we were
trusted and accepted and given larger and more complex projects to
do. Eventually each of us had been given projects to lead, when feasible,
we each asked the other two to join in.  We worked great as a team and it
didn't matter who was the lead.  We knew we were good together and our
stars rose exponentially within the company.

The day that our first project won a prestigious National Engineering Award
was a great celebration at the office.  Three of us received duplicates of
the Company's Award.  Our new ideas for the Production line won a separate
award for innovation and the company presented each of us with very nice
bonus checks.

The biggest surprise to me was an email of congratulations from the Dean of
the Engineering School at WKU and a clipping from the Bowling Green Daily
News titled

"Former WKU Student wins National Award in Production Line Innovation."

At three pm my phone rang and it was Pops, more excited that I can ever
remember, raving about the article in the paper. While we were talking, an
email from Dan came in.  The two of them stroked my ego and had me very
proud of myself.

I didn't show the article at work. It made it seem to all be my ideas and
didn't mention the team at all, but of course the other two guys didn't go
to WKU.

I felt a great deal of satisfaction.  Sean had gone back to work and
produced a new product that would change computers for ever.  Now I too,
had made my mark at my company.  Sean was more excited than Pops, we
celebrated with dinner out and a lot of loving when we got home.

We were cuddled together in the afterglow of our love when said.

"We're back to where we should have been over a year ago Cal.  If not for
that accident, we would have already made these accomplishments, but I
doubt that we would be as close as we are now.  What we've endured together
bonded us in ways that others can't possibly understand.  Even our families
are changed by our ordeal.  All of us are better people than we were B.A."

"Yes Sean I agree, with what we've been through, together we can do
anything Babe. Love conquers all."

The End.
