As Brian moved his way down Justin’s torso, he teased and licked the delicate skin. He felt the man beneath him arch slightly as he softly nibbled around his naval which teased the twink to no end. His hand ran along the length of the erect cock until it reached the swollen head already oozing with precum, the stickiness coating his long fingers. Brian licked his fingers to get the mixed taste of sweet and saltiness, and smiled as he positioned himself to take Justin’s fullness into his mouth. “God!” Justin yelled as he grabbed Brian’s hair. Everything seemed to move at a strangely slow pace. Justin was jolted from his sleep. “Fuck! It was a fucking dream!” He sat up….his dick stood fiercely at attention, and ready to fuck. He wanted to find the brunet; suck him off and fuck him until he ached from the pleasurable pain of great sex. He laid back in his bed and sighed with relief as he looked under the covers. He was thankful that he thought to leave his mother’s bed once she was nice and comfortable. He really wanted to beat off but he didn’t. Instead he felt he should give Ethan a call and maybe that would stop the thoughts he was having. ********** The Loft Brian had just finished all of the research he needed to do. He already had the ad boards prepared and laid out like he wanted when he went into his meeting. The contract was important to Kinnetik and he had no intention of loosing it to another company that thought they were better. As he sat back and sipped on a glass of Beam, he reflected on the young man he’d seen earlier in the evening. There was something captivating about his eyes as they seemed to devour a person when he looked at them. “An artist, from New York,” he murmured to himself. He took another sip from his glass and his eyebrows rose as a thought took shape in his mind. He headed over to his computer and typed in the blond’s name in the search field. A page full of Justin Taylor’s appeared on the screen. He clicked on a few pages but none of them brought up the young man’s picture. Then something interesting caught his attention: Justin Taylor: Budding artist for the Tramison Gallery Justin Taylor, born and raised in Pittsburgh brought people to a standing ovation with his painting La Mirage Declurr. Brian clicked on the link and an image of the blond appeared on the screen standing next to a dark haired young man. His smile was as bright as the morning sun. The caption read: Justin Taylor and his partner Ethan Gold at the revealing of his new painting……… “So that’s my competition, huh Mr. Taylor?” He said as he took another sip of his drink. “No competition there at all. So what do I need to do to get your attention?” *** Justin smiled to himself as he began to dial Ethan’s number. He had shaken off all thoughts of Brian and wanted to go back to a sane place in his mind with his partner. He knew that it was late and that Ethan was probably in bed, but surely he wouldn’t mind talking to him. “Hello,” a groggy voice answered. “Hi Honey. I just wanted to call and see how you were and tell you I miss you.” “Who is this?” Justin looked his caller ID to make sure he had dialed the right number. “This is Justin. Who’s this?” “Alex.” “What the fuck are you doing answering Ethan’s phone? Where is he?” “He’s asleep, and who’s this again?” “Justin Fucking Taylor.” Justin heard a rustling noise and then the sound of Ethan being slapped as Alex tried to wake him. It was obvious his lover had been asleep. He could hear Ethan mumble nervously as the phone was grabbed from the other man. Shouting crackled through the line and Justin was about to hang up when Ethan spoke. “Justin it’s late what …what’s wrong?” “Fuck you Ethan! Who the fuck is Alex?” “He’s just a friend of mine, no one important.” “You sorry excuse for a man,” Alex screamed from the background. “You told me you loved me last night and that I was the best fuck you ever had, you fucking bastard.” Justin sat quietly and took in everything that was being said and after a few minutes he hung up. He sat stunned, as tears welled in his eyes. He looked around his mother’s home his heart shattering in little pieces when he felt his cell phone vibrate. He didn’t want to answer it but he had no choice. “What Ethan?” He replied; his voice held no emotion. “Justin it’s not what you think.” “Okay Ethan, what is it then? Some guy answers your phone at fucking four in the morning and it’s not what I think. Then in the background I hear the guy shout that basically the two of you fucked. So what am I missing in this scene Ethan? You tell me.” “It was just a stupid mistake. One fucking mistake.” “A mistake that you’ve made several times since we’ve been together. A mistake that I’m no longer willing to put up with. I’m not coming back, and I’m not yours any longer…we’re done…!” Justin quickly hung up, and slumped back on the couch. He walked outside to get some fresh air and called Daphne. **** Brian stared at his monitor; Justin’s smile was intoxicating. He began to envision the blond as he sashayed away from him earlier at the diner. His perfect little ass would be a nice addition to the one fuck line of men he had taken on in the past years. He didn’t want to admit it at the moment but something about this young man intrigued him. He couldn’t put his finger on it, but it really caught him off guard. As he sat in front of his he computer he imagined himself entering the blond; sucking him and fucking him to no end. Brian shook his head as he tried to regain his focus. “Beautiful,” he mumbled as he stared at Justin’s picture on the monitor. **** Justin paced back and forth and nearly screamed as he talked to Daphne. “God Daph, he’s one of the most selfish pricks I have ever been with,” he ranted as he stood in the dark and looked up at the night sky. ”Jus.” “Yeah I’m sorry Daph. God how could I have been so stupid?” “You weren’t stupid. You were in love.” “You know Daph, I wish I could say I was in love, but I really think that I was afraid to be alone.” “Justin you have never been AFRAID of anything. Boyfriends, your dad…not even Chris Hobbs that dirty son of a bitch.” “Daph, Hobbs is over, and I was afraid of him for a long time. I had such a fear that he would try to come and finish what he started. Especially after he only received community service for what he did to me.” “I don’t want to talk about this.” “Neither do I.” “So what do I do now? Shit…fuck,” he said in frustration. “First off, you’re going to tell your mom that your trip has been extended and you’ll be staying for longer than you thought; and you are going to tell her why. Then you’re going to call Ethan and tell him that you want him out of the apartment that you’re paying for by the end of next week. Then you’re going to go out and have some fun.” “Did you say all of that in one breath?” Justin said with a hearty laugh. “Damn, I think I did,” she giggled. Justin began to feel a lot better and he and Daphne continued to talk and laugh; he knew he was finally home. A place he knew was filled with people who truly loved him. “Daph if I tell you something will you promise me that you won’t tell a soul and will not let on to anyone around?” “What… that you like Brian.” “Fuck! Do you have fucking ESP or something?” “No JTP… Justin Taylor Perception,” she laughed. “Whatever.” “I knew last night. I could see it in the way you looked at him, and then when the two of you had your little moment I…..” “What little moment? There was no moment.” “Shit! Don’t give me that.” “What? There was no moment Daph.” “Oh yes there was. When he came in, you avoided his eyes. He looked at you and you could see he wanted you. You teased him with your words and your ass….that was a moment, and if anyone knows when you want someone it would be me…shit. Who are you trying to fool, Justin Taylor? I’ve known you for too long.” Justin laughed to himself as he made his way back into the house “Okay… so… maybe there was a slight moment Daph.” “Slight my ass…what time are you meeting Lindsay?” . “One I think. Why?” “Come by here before you go; I want to ride with you.” “Okay.” “See you later on….I need to go back to bed…it’s bad enough junior or juniorette here is sticking me in all the wrong places…but damn now I want some pizza…don’t ever have a baby. Even if medical science will allow you to …do… not… do… it“she added with emphasis. “Talk to you later.” Justin laughed hysterically as he walked into the house. He didn’t realize the time and hoped he would be able to go back to bed before he started his day. The turmoil with Ethan had kept him up most of the night. Molly looked up and smiled as he entered the kitchen where she sat at the table eating a bowl of cereal. “When the hell did you get home?” she asked. “Watch your mouth.” “Sorry.. Oh brother dear. Let me rephrase that…when did you arrive?” She said sarcastically. “Last night. Oh before I forget. What is this shit about you skipping school?” “Watch your mouth,” she spat back. “I’m an adult. Now like I said; what is this shit about you missing school?” “It’s nothing. Mom is just over reacting as usual.” “Molly, you’re skipping school. Why are you doing all this? Surely it can’t be because of dad?” “Hell no! Fuck dad!” “Wat….” “I know watch my mouth. You would’ve said the same about him so we’re in agreement about that. I don’t know. School just isn’t interesting to me anymore. Everything they’re teaching I already know. With you and mom teaching me so much when I was younger I’m already ahead of everyone in my class.” “So in other words you’re bored.” “Yep.” “Well how about this… I’ll talk to mom about getting you into a school that will provide you the advanced education you need or we’ll speak with your teachers and have them give you more work to occupy you.” “Will you take me to school?” “Can’t. I need to get some rest, but I’ll tell you what; I’ll hang out with you tomorrow. We can go to some art museums or something.” “Go to some what…?” “Okay Sis, we’ll do whatever you want. How’s that?” “You’re getting better and better. Glad you’re home.” Molly walked over to Justin. She seemed to have had a real growth spurt since the last time he’d seen her. She appeared to have grown two to three inches, her figure was developing and even her hair had gone from the reddish color that it used to be to a strawberry blonde. Now that she was fourteen, he knew, eventually, he would need to have a brother to sister talk about the facts of life and things she would need to do to protect herself and other sexual issues, he sighed to himself. When did he take on this responsibility? They talked for a few moments longer and then Jennifer came downstairs and told Molly to go get ready for school. “What are you doing today, Justin?” “I was going to ask you if I can use the other car…please.” “You don’t have to ask. The keys are on my dresser…just don’t wreck my car and keep it clean. Okay?” “Yes Mom, he replied.” “I had a late night. I couldn’t sleep,” Justin commented. “I know you were tossing and turning most of the night. I felt you get up but as soon as you got out of the bed I immediately fell back to sleep. That was the best sleep I’ve had in weeks. “Yeah. I went into my room and thought maybe I would be able to sleep in there but it didn’t work too well so I just got up. Look Mom …I may be staying a little longer than I planned, if not; indefinitely.” “Oh Baby that’s wonderful. You can stay here as long as you want.” “Thanks, but if I decide to stay in the Pitts I will probably get my own apartment or maybe even a house of my own.” “Well since your mother is a realtor you can get a wonderful price you know. Will Ethan be moving here also?” Justin looked away and Jennifer knew that something had happened. She wanted to ask but she knew her son. If he wanted to talk he would. She’d leave him alone for now; she didn’t want to push him. “No he won’t.” “Okay…well my offer still stands.” Jennifer walked over to Justin and brushed his cheek softly. “My beautiful Son…I’m here for you….always have been and always will be. So if and when you’re ready to talk I’m willing to listen. Okay?” Justin smiled and nodded as they shared a warm embrace… something that he sorely missed. His mother was more than just the woman who gave him life, she was his confidant in so many ways and she made sure he never outgrew her love. He smiled to himself once again. “I have to get ready for work so be careful ok.” “Okay Mom. I’m going back to bed. I have to meet someone at one so I’ll call you when I get up. I love you.” “Love you too.” Justin stood by the counter and looked around. He felt at peace and was glad he made the choice to come home. He headed back to his room to try and sleep. “Well guess I’ll finish my dream now,” he mumbled to himself. *** Brian paced back and forth as Ted read the financial information that he had downloaded about the company they were about to make the presentation to. His office was now completely set up the way he had at the loft that morning, so there would be no confusion or errors. “Are we making a good choice or not Theodore?” Brian asked, his patience running thin. “Bri, I have checked and rechecked and then checked again to make sure the first two calculations were correct. I think this company is the one that we need.” “Okay, so what kind of profit are we talking about here.” “Honestly Bri, it’ll be well into the millions.” Brian smiled with satisfaction. He knew that he had to pull one of his classic Kinney moves to get this contract. From what he had heard, the CEO was a real asshole and he knew that he would have to tone it down so that he didn’t come across like one too. “Theodore, how should I approach this one? I mean the boards are flawless, the visual is perfect, but I feel that there’s something I’ll have to do to win this one.” “This one you will actually have to… dare I say… be nice this time.” Brian cringed slightly as Ted gave him a rundown of information on the CEO and VP of Westminster Pharmaceuticals and he took it all in. “Brian.” “Yes Cynthia?” “Lindsay is on line one and Mr. Wilks and Mr. Klein are here for your ten o’clock meeting.” “Okay, give me about five minutes to talk with Lindz and then bring them in, “he replied. “Okay, will do.” “What’s up, Lindz?” “Hey Bri. I am sorry to bother you, but I need you to come by the gallery if you can.” “Is something wrong?” “No, I just needed to know if you will take Gus for the weekend. Mel and I have a benefit on Saturday and we’re going to be so wrapped up. I just thought it would be best if he was with you.” “Say no more, but why do you need me to come by.” “Just wanted to see how you were, but if your busy I’ll talk to you later.” “Tell you what; I will be there around one or two; how’s that?” “Great. Oh wait; I have a meeting at one with Justin.” “Who?” “Justin Taylor…the guy that was with Daphne last night” “Oh okay… well I’ll be there at two. I have a meeting Lindz…see you later.” Brian sat for a minute with the receiver in his hand and a smile tickling his lips. A vision of the young man rushed through his mind and he knew that he would suddenly show up at the gallery around one o’clock.
