Dan and Ben at Sixty--Chapter Eleven By Ezra Randle
Ben thought about the specifics of his plan. He figured Alex would be willing to see him when he called. More than likely, Alex would figure Ben needed a quick fix with some therapy and Ben would be on his merry way. Ben wasn't sure how the first series of moves would occur, but he trusted his instincts especially since what he was doing was for a higher purpose rather than his selfish needs.
He didn't tell Gary anything about it when they were in bed the night of his return. Gary was so loving that Ben melted under his attentions. They kissed and talked for several hours. When Gary entered him, which he wanted so badly, it felt heavenly, like he was still with Dan back in Arizona. After he'd cum, Gary asked him how he'd like to get off, and Ben thought about the promise he'd made to himself during the last night with Dan that he wanted to top Gary. But Ben knew he needed to be ready with Alex. He simply said, "I don't need it tonight. What you've done for me is enough."
Gary was on the brink of sleep and didn't push it. Ben was busy the next day, but had enough time to call Alex and see if he could see him on Tuesday. As he'd anticipated, Alex was happy to talk and eager to see him.
He drove to Alex's house the next afternoon. Alex looked like he had just returned from work, so neither of them had a chance to change into their off-hours clothing. Alex offered him a beverage, but all Ben wanted was water. He was trying with as much discipline as he had to move slowly. "How is Dan doing?" Alex asked.
Ben mentioned Dan's interaction with his dad. And even referenced the story of Dan barging in on Chip and Larry naked in the living room. Alex laughed heartily. Ben thought maybe the spirit of discovering the two naked men in foreplay might help with the next stage. "Dan's eager to see you. As you can imagine."
"I'm so ready for him to walk through that door."
"He's a little concerned, as he's told you," Ben said.
"Yeah. We need to work some things out. He's really grateful you care so much about him."
Ben smiled and decided to be blunt. "On that subject, could we go into your bedroom?"
Alex gave him a puzzled look. "What for?"
"I don't know about you, but I'd like to complete our unfinished business. Before Dan comes back."
Alex looked at him strangely. "You must remember. From some months ago? We were getting a bit romantic in your bedroom," Ben said.
"I thought we agreed we made a mistake that night."
Ben stood up and offered his hand. "Just come with me, please."
Alex stood and took Ben's hand and was led to his bedroom. They stood face-to-face though Alex was nearly six inches shorter. "This is nice, Alex. I know you're surprised at my boldness. But I didn't want to give you the opportunity to think it over. I wanted it to be a bit impulsive."
"Seems like you have given this quite a bit of thought."
"Kiss me, Alex. Like you told me you wanted to for years."
Alex was still motionless, so Ben kissed him, letting his soft lips rest on Alex's slightly moistened lips. "Feels good doesn't it?
"Of course, but that's not really the question is it?" Alex said.
"It is and it isn't. I know you want me. And I think about you, too. In this way."
Alex didn't say anything. "That day, you wanted to see me naked, didn't you?" Ben said,
Alex nodded, now with a sense of acknowledging Ben's words and giving in to Ben's requests. "I've always wanted to see you naked, Ben."
Ben began to unbutton Alex's dress shirt. "I assume you didn't wear a tie today?"
"Never do."
He had unfastened half of the metal buttons. "It's a very nice shirt. Fancy buttons."
"Yeah. It was gift."
Ben pulled the shirt free from Alex's khakis and let it fall to the floor. "I thought you might be wearing an undershirt like me. When I visualized undressing you, you had one on."
"I don't usually wear one."
Ben rubbed his nipples and Alex gasped. "I knew they would be sensitive. I often observed them pressing against your shirt during therapy. Wanting to touch them. Hope you don't mind hearing that now. I figured the rules of therapy are out the window."
Ben continued to play with Alex's nipples. Alex closed his eyes in full enjoyment. Ben licked and sucked his nipples while his fingers unfastened Alex's tan trousers and let them fall to the floor. "Yum, I like the way your cock fills your briefs."
Alex opened his eyes and smiled. Any thoughts of resisting Ben's initiatives had faded away. "You can unbutton my shirt. While I continue sucking your tits."
Alex had trouble with the top buttons because Ben was leaning to his chest, so he pulled Ben's shirt free from his blue trousers and unbuttoned the lower ones. Ben stood apart from him and undid the top two buttons, and Alex pulled it free and tossed it to the floor on top of his. He lifted Ben's undershirt just enough to run his hands underneath it. "I remember this part from when you were here. I got this far before we quit. I couldn't stop thinking what you would taste like."
Ben raised his arms and Alex stood on his toes to lift off the shirt. Then he nuzzled into Ben's chest moaning as he did so. "O, my, do I ever want you."
Ben put his arms around him and pulled him to his nipples. Alex tasted them and licked them like he was on fire. "Easy, my friend."
Alex laughed. "Sorry, but you were the one to start all of this."
"That's true. Finish undressing me."
Alex loosened the belt and unfastened his trousers, then he very slowly unzipped them until they fell to the floor. Ben stepped out of them and they pressed into each other. "I often try to guess what style of underwear the men I meet prefer. I rarely get to see if my guess was right," Alex said.
"Are you right or wrong with me?"
"I cheated. When we almost got naked, I could see they were boxer briefs."
"I don't always wear that style. I wore traditional boxers exclusively for most of my life. Seeing men made me switch."
"Why?"
"I like bulges. What size do you wear, Alex."
"Large."
"Take yours off. Let's switch for a while."
They traded underwear, and both pair fit quite well. They felt each other through the shorts, front and back. Ben knelt and teased Alex with his lips on his hard cock, licking it through the shorts. As he did so, he pulled the underwear halfway down Alex's ass. He could feel the same fuzzy hairs on his ass cheeks as he had on his chest and belly. He slowly pulled the shorts completely off. Alex was rigid, his glans pointing straight out of the foreskin. "I should have told you before, Ben, I know a secret about your cock."
"That it's uncut like yours?"
"Yes. This is a first for me. To be with a man with foreskin."
"Me, too," Ben said as he licked the tip of Alex's cock.
Alex reached down and pulled Ben's cock from the briefs. "I used to have so much insecurity about mine."
"Why's that? It's plenty big."
"It's really small in its resting state. And the foreskin wasn't like anybody's I ever saw naked in high school locker rooms."
"Nothing to worry about with me."
They each stepped out of their underwear and embraced fully. "Did you really know I lusted after you this much?"
"I had a pretty good idea. I wouldn't do this with just anyone."
They kissed again and Ben said, "I don't know about you, but I'm a little rank from being in my clothes all day. I need a shower."
They stepped under the warm water and kissed again. Ben smiled to himself. Despite the plan he had hatched, he was really relishing this opportunity. He enjoyed Alex that much. They washed each other's front giving special attention to their foreskins. Alex turned around and Ben washed him letting his finger rub his hole and taint. He didn't have as much hair there, and it felt wonderful to feel around a nearly hairless hole. When he slid his middle finger inside, Alex moaned and leaned against the shower wall. "I need to tell you something?"
"That you like to take cock?"
Alex laughed. "That, too. But I rushed home after work and cleaned myself out. I don't know why I did that because I had no idea we'd end up like this. It was just a fantasy."
"Good intuition."
Ben turned around and Alex washed his back and his cheeks over and over. "I've watched your ass in the office. When you stood by the window looking out."
Ben laughed. "That's what I was paying you for?"
"I was paying attention to your words, too. But you do have a delicious ass."
"Clean it for me."
Alex slid the bar of soap between Ben's cheeks, and held it in by squeezing the cheeks tight. "Feels nice, Alex. I'm extremely sensitive right by my hole."
Alex ran his finger through the suds along Ben's hairy hole. Ben leaned forward against the shower wall and moaned loudly. "You weren't kidding were you?" Alex asked.
"That's one of my golden spots."
They toweled off and walked to the bed, kissing as they did so. When they were under the sheets, Alex immediately slid down and took Ben's cock in his mouth, playing with the foreskin with his lips. Ben spread his legs and Alex ran his fingers down to Ben's ass while he sucked him. Ben moaned so loudly that Alex stopped. "Is that too much pleasure?"
"I don't want to cum yet. Because you know what's going to happen."
"I was hoping."
"How do you like it?"
"I won't be very tight. I wear a plug quite often. I'd like to be on my back facing you."
"Very nice. We can see each other smile in pleasure."
Ben pulled Alex to the edge of the bed and knelt and licked his ass. Alex wiggled in pleasure. Ben reached for the lube on the bedside table and eased his finger back inside Alex. Alex lifted his legs to Ben's shoulders as Ben placed his slippery cock at his hole. He slid in very easily, thrusting deeply right away. "Is that OK?"
"O, yeah. I'm ready for you."
Ben closed his eyes and the image of Gary came through. Of Gary kissing him and making him happy and a bit sad at the same time. He concentrated on being with Alex, easing in and out of his ass. It felt remarkably different than with Gary or Dan. He didn't know why. The feeling on his cock was the same. Perhaps it was simply that he didn't love Alex like he did the other two. Alex was staring at him as he stroked his rigid cock. Ben pulled Alex's legs to him so he was in him as deeply as possible. He knew he couldn't sustain it for much longer. "Are you close, Alex?"
"Very. I want to shoot as you fill me."
"I'm almost there. A couple more thrusts. O, yeah. I'm ready."
They exploded together. Dan looked down at Alex and saw him grinning broadly. He returned the smile as he slid out and rolled alongside Alex. They climbed back to the middle of the bed, clutching each other as they nodded off. Ten minutes later, Ben looked up at Alex who was staring at him. "I don't know if this was the best, Ben. I can only compare you to Dan. But it was just as good as our best times. Thank you."
Ben rolled on his back and motioned for Alex to rest his head against his chest. "Alex, my dear friend. You are very sweet and so intelligent about figuring me out. I've learned so much from you."
"Me, too, from you."
"Listen to me for a minute. OK?" Ben looked at him, waiting for him to nod. "We have a mutual friend. I know you love him with all your heart. So do I. When he comes back in few days, he'll need you. I'm not talking a little needy, buddy. He is very vulnerable. He's going to try to go back to work. Not the smartest idea from my point of view. But a man needs his work. I appreciate that."
Ben started tearing up but made himself continue. "He's afraid you can't love him enough. That you'll get jealous of our friendship. That sometimes if Dan and I get naked together, that means he doesn't love you enough because of us. I wanted to show you what we do together. How we make love. So you know. So you understand why Danny and I need to be together sometimes. We have this thing between us. This magical formula. And we love each other."
Ben sat up and looked down at Alex. "But when I leave here in a little while, I'll head home to see Gary. I'll talk with him about his day. And ask him if he wants to sleep alone tonight or with me. I love Gary with my whole heart. I will never in a million years tell him that I stopped here tonight and tried in my way to explain Dan and me to you. Me being here is just me and you."
Ben wiped his nose with the back of his hand. "I won't be stopping by again like this. You don't need a second demonstration of how much I love you. And how much you've got to forget about me when you're with Dan. But you've got to make Danny believe you love him without any doubts. He can't handle you if you have doubts. Because he doesn't trust himself enough right now."
Ben reached for a tissue and blew his nose and wiped his eyes. "O fuck. Have I really fucked up this bad?"
Alex watched him, still numb from everything that happened over the past two hours. "He's still grieving, Alex. To the depth of his soul. It's going to take months."
Ben started bawling. After a minute, he looked back at Alex who looked like he'd just experienced the worst shock in his life. "Can you say something? Please."
"I'm mostly at a loss for words."
"I need to shower and get going," Ben said.
He cried a little more in the shower, but then he began to smile. He'd given it his best shot. And if the little fuckhead sitting all confused on the bed they had just made love in couldn't understand, well then, just fuck him. He'd have to save Danny himself. He grabbed a fresh towel from the cabinet and walked out into the bedroom. He looked over at Alex and smiled. "You're a great fuck, Alex. Just in case you haven't heard that before."
Alex laughed. "Thank you. I wasn't really sure. Since I've only had one guy in my life. And even though he's a fabulous lover who's told me the same thing, still, he's only just one."
Ben giggled. "So now you've got some validation. You're a hot piece of ass, little man."
Ben was about to pull on his underwear when he paused. "Is this pair mine or yours?"
"Take both pair if you're looking for a trophy."
Ben started laughing. "What's so funny?"
"It's a long story. Maybe I'll tell you sometime."
Ben finished dressing. "OK. That's all I've got."
"Wait. Give me a minute."
Alex stood up and quickly put on a plaid robe that went to his ankles. "Very handsome. You've got style, my friend," Ben said.
He took Ben's hand and said, "You're the smartest shrink I've ever met. You put me to shame."
Ben laughed. "You be good now, Alex. And be good to Danny. OK?"
Three nights later, Ben left work promptly at five. Before he pulled out of the parking area, he called Gary. "Hey, I'm leaving. Where are you?"
Gary reacted somewhat hysterically. "Fuck, man, I can't find my car. Somebody must have stolen it."
"You've got Dan's car, you dumbshit."
Gary laughed. "I've got it, boss, I drove away a couple of minutes ago."
Ben laughed. "Very funny. Sorry for calling you a dumbshit. See you there."
The DaneCo airport parking ramp was busy. Gary was waiting for him at the entrance and they found two spots next to each other on the third level. A mass of people was leaving the airport, but they had ten minutes before the flight from Denver arrived. They stood by the escalator waiting for him. As he stepped onto the top step, he waved. Ben held up the lined jacket Dan had left in the car six weeks ago. Dan embraced them both and slipped on the jacket. "Good to see you, buddy. Let's get your bag and head to the car," Ben said.
"Where are you headed tonight? You can come with us if you need to," Ben said.
"No. I'm going to my place and settle in for a few days. Get ready to go back to work on Monday. It's time."
They were wheeling Dan's bag toward the exit of the airport when Alex dashed in, out of breath. "Wow, I got stuck behind some bad traffic. I thought I'd miss you."
Alex hugged Dan so fully and for so long, Ben almost started crying. He hadn't expected him to show up. He figured his attempt to bring them together had been the most miserable failure in his life. Alex hugged Gary. "Nice to see you again, Gary. Thanks for being here."
Then he approached Ben and embraced him, too. While they were linked up, Alex said, "Thank you, Ben. I think I get it now."
Ben nodded and explained they had brought Dan's car which had been sitting at his home for weeks. Alex looked at Dan, "You'll come over to my house, won't you?"
"I was going to go home, but if you want me to follow you, I'd love to."
"Yes, I expected you would."
As they drove home in Ben's car, Gary said, "Were you happy to see him?"
"Are you talking about Alex or Dan?"
"Mostly Alex, since you'd just seen Dan a few days ago," Gary said.
"Yeah. I told Alex to meet us at the airport, but I wasn't sure he'd show."
"I have no idea how Dan's going to do. I can't imagine going back to work in a high school after all that's happened to him. High school students can be the most insensitive assholes in the world."
"Were they cruel to you?"
"Not especially, but that was only because I was so big and played sports. But I witnessed plenty of shit," Gary said.
They drove on quietly. "Do you think you'll have to rescue him again?" Gary asked.
"Maybe. Hope not."
"Me, too. Cause sometimes I think you like rescuing him."
Ben looked at him and quickly pulled into the parking area of a mini-mall. He shifted the car into park and unbuckled his seat belt turning toward Gary as he did. "Listen to me, fuckhead, I don't know how many times I have to say it, or show you, but I love you. I want to share my life with you. And if you keep asserting that I love Danny more than you, I'm going to wrestle you to the ground and beat the shit out of you. Unbuckle your seat belt and come here."
Gary meekly turned, and Ben pulled him as close as he could in the confines of the front seat of the car. Ben kissed him deeply and held his hands. "Please be nice to me," Ben said softly.
Gary nodded. They rebuckled their seat belts and Ben drove on. "Do you really think you could take me? I'm pretty fucking strong and I've got some moves. I did wrestle in high school," Gary said.
Ben laughed. "Wrestling is not my kink. Plus I'd pull a muscle in my back in the first five seconds. But I'd like to see you prancing around the house in a singlet."
"I could tell you stories about wrestling camps. They'd make your cock stand on end."
"How could you stand it, being touched like that every day?"
"I couldn't. I had to quit the sport my senior year. I was getting too aroused. The coach practically got down on his knees and begged me to come back. But quitting the sport was all about self-preservation."
"Do you still have your singlet?"
"In a box somewhere. I might even have a pair of them."
Ben laughed heartily. "Now you're talking."
"Boss, I'd eat you alive in my singlet."
Alex had prepared several salads and opened a bottle of wine. "I know it's early, but how does it feel to be back?"
"It's too soon to know. You're right. But if I don't return to my life here with work and a routine, I never will. I need to do it."
"After we clean the kitchen, do you want to go for a walk or to bed?"
Dan smiled. "How about we go to bed and take a walk afterward?"
"I like that idea. What do you have to do at your house?"
"Mostly check things out. There will be a stack of mail, though Jenny sent me any mail that looked important. She's been paying any bills that I couldn't do online. Eventually, we'll clean the place out. So, when the divorce is finalized, she'll be out and it will be just me until I'm ready to sell it."
"She's been very accommodating."
"Very. I told her about you. That I planned to see you regularly when I got back. Hope that was OK?" Dan said.
"It's fine. About that. Seeing me. Why don't stay here for the weekend? Come back here after you take care of whatever needs doing in your house?"
Dan looked at Alex with hopeful eyes. "I'd like that. Good preparation for Monday."
"And about Monday and going back to work, you'll need to talk to someone about how that goes. So, come here Monday after work."
"Thanks, I'm sure I'll be exhausted from the ordeal. But needing to confide in you about how it went."
"As a matter of fact, you'll need to talk to someone each day after work. So, plan on spending all of next week with me, too."
Alex could see Dan was on the verge of tears. He motioned him to stand. They kissed and walked down the hallway to Alex's bedroom.
