Kasey with a K

Chapter 24

"Adam, where the hell are you and why is your phone shut off we have talked about this before? I have been so worried about you please go home, it's dangerous over there."

"Nice to talk to you again Kasey." I went cold and what would he know about being worried.

"As I said in my message I'm in Rome and I'm heading to Florence tomorrow then Venice I should be there by the start of next week."

"You are doing my head in Adam, I beg you please go home, please."

"Where are you at the moment?"

"I'm back working on the case, I will be heading home soon, we got enough to hang these guys."

"Good, then are you mad I left you worrying about me?"

"Yes of course I'm bat shit crazy mad no one knew where you went your father had the guys searching for you everywhere until they discovered you had flown out to bloody Rome."

"Good, so you are worried to the point you're feeling sick and as mad as a rattlesnake after I left to do something on my own."

"Yes Adam, I'm going crazy here."

"So you got my point then?"

"WHAT FUCKING POINT?" Fuck now I have to spell it out for him.

"Now you know exactly how I felt when you decided to put your life on the line with no second thoughts for anyone, just jumped in the deep end feet first. This is no game Kasey I meant what I said this will never happen again never in my lifetime that's for sure." The phone went silent while he processed my words, I think he has just realized I mean business.

"I love you Adam with an A, I love you more than life itself you are the dearest and most precious thing I have in my life." My tears started as he spoke and I answered.

"I love you too Kasey with a K more than you will ever fully realize, but this can't happen again I am certain of that."

"I know baby I know. I did the wrong thing but I saved those kids and men that were being tortured I'm not sorry for that."

"Or should you be sorry, I will be home Thursday next week I need some space my anger is leaving and I want my head in the right mood when I see you again. We have to have a long talk you know that."

"I know, but I wish I was there with you baby, I miss you so fucking much." I heard him gasp for breath and I know he was trying not to cry again.

"I'm sorry too, one day I want to bring you here for a holiday you would love it. I feel Italy's magic all around me and I feel so much love here."

I told him about the guys I was with and he started to get upset again until I told him I didn't fancy any of them, and I was just a fourth to lower their traveling expenses. I would probably never see them again, but I was looking forward to seeing the country by car and I missed him the most.

He was silent for a minute and listened to me speak then I was so tired I said my goodnights but before he left he asked me politely to keep my phone turned on. Well as politely as a military man can, I think he threw in some delicately worded threats in also.

After not seeing much of Rome we all left early morning, it's not a huge country and as the hills and little villages rolled by I had nothing on my mind but Kasey. Florence was beautiful and we managed three days there with a side trip to Pisa, it felt like I was on a rollercoaster with the guys who saw everything that they planned to see. I took many photos and sent them on to the appropriate people, there were a few of the guys in it, and there was no response from Kasey, so I deemed everything was okay with him. I tried to ring him from Florence but there was still no answer.

I had started talking to the guys about Kasey, they were gobsmacked I had landed me a military man, I guess it's a fantasy. Richard told me I should forgive him because it was as plain as day I loved him deeply, he had never heard of that sort of love from another gay person. He thought it was all about scoring dick and how many men you could get into bed. I put him straight and told him about Cody and Dan but I didn't say who they were, just friends and their friends and family are the same, they love their partners.

"It's a whole new world out there Richard, and gays are evolving rapidly, my wish for you is to find a man such as Kasey and love him for life, and not just for the sex. You don't want to be that middle-aged guy that wakes up one morning with no one in their arms, then live the rest of your life all alone full of regrets."

He was humbled at my words and I suppose he saw me in a different light, I wasn't a slut and I was loyal to only one man. When we got to Venice they were only staying for two days they were going Island hopping over to Greece. I wanted to experience the city for at least five or six days, so we parted ways with the promise we would catch up as soon as we could, they could always crash at my place if they come to Brisbane, and of course, they wanted to meet this Kasey the guy that had captured my heart.

I went to some museums, and plenty of chapels and churches, they are everywhere, I shopped for Venetian masks but couldn't decide which one to buy I had thought I might get Billy one. I rode alone in a gondolier and sent Kasey and my friends the name of the hotel I was staying at and I let them know I was okay. On the third day, I thought I had better do something about a flight home, and on that very night, there was a knock on my door.

My tears wouldn't stop as I held him close he couldn't stop kissing me and we hadn't even said hello yet, I fell in love with him all over again and prayed to God I had the strength to see it through.

"You smell wonderful my Adam with an a."

"So do you Kasey with a k, and what brings you to Venice?"

"You did, love did, and I need a holiday too." He smiled at me.

"Adam can you do something for me, can you move into my rooms, I got two bedrooms and I want you to meet someone." I went cold I had thought he was alone, this lovey-dovey talk was all a ruse to calm me down before the storm, but I'm being silly again but I know he's probably up to something.

"New boyfriend?"

"Yes, I love him to bits, he makes me laugh so much I want to hold him forever."

He is really up to something and my curiosity is getting the better of me.

"Well lead the way I would like to meet this new man in your life."

"He's beautiful like you." He kissed me again and his lips lingered so I could smell his breath.

"What will I bring?"

"Your phone and yourself, leave everything here we can collect it in the morning."

I followed him up one floor and he was right the rooms were bigger, he had rented a family room, when I went inside it was twice the size of mine, it was huge and must have cost a bomb.

"So where's your new boyfriend?"

"Sleeping, he's very tired so he went to bed early."

He gently opened the bedroom door and stood back. He motioned me to have a look and I did. In the bed was a young child, a boy I think, his hair was long and curly black and he was just like Billy, his little body was sprawled across the bed and his blankets were falling onto the floor.

"Is he going to be all right like that?"

"Yes, he's used to sleeping in the rough." I couldn't resist, I straightened him up and replaced the blanket then kissed his head, he smelt wonderfully like a little kid.

"Okay, so what's up?" We closed the door a little and I followed him to his bedroom, he didn't say a word he wanted to strip me. I let him release me of all my clothes then we got into bed together then he pulled me in my head rested on his shoulder. I noticed two small dressings one on his shoulder and one on his arm and my heart wept for my beautiful man, more scarring. They didn't seem to bother him though, and when I asked he said.

"Tomorrow, tonight we talk about Samir, and then we make sweet love."

"Samir?"

"Yes Samir I call him Sam or Sammy it suits him better, he's our new son." I couldn't move he had shocked me.

"Our son?"

"Yes I tried for six kids, but Sam was the only one that didn't have a family to go back to so they let us have him."

"True story?" I leaned on my elbow to watch his awesome face.

"Cross my heart and hope to die it's true, he's ours, well he will be in a few weeks, at the moment I have been granted custody, it's all hush-hush military stuff Adam with an a, he will be ours for certain. He was the youngest child at the camp, we rescued him with the others. The doctors checked him out he hasn't been interfered with, the mongrels preferred the older ones, they had him hauling the water from the river just about all day every day, he doesn't remember his parents and he's about three years old or less but we are not sure. None of the other kids knew where he was from, so it was impossible to find any family for him, do you mind?"

"Do I mind, let me think, can I answer that in actions, not words?" He nodded yes so I slipped down the bed, and after I gave his nipples and abs a good working over I took Kasey's manhood in my mouth, he's going to love this answer. I didn't intend to let him nut until dawn, and then I will be more than ready for plenty more. I smelt his familiar scent and brushed my nose through his pubes, my mouth found what it was craving and I started doing my most welcomed chore again.

By midnight we had done everything and around two a little kid came into the room and crawled into bed with Kasey and me, he sat up and looked at me then said.

"Poppa?"

"Yes, poppa Adam son go back to sleep bubs." I heard Kasey kiss him and we all slept very well. My heart was leaping out of its cavity so it took me a few minutes more to drop off, I could hear them both kiddie snoring and I knew I had fought the war and deep down inside I had won the ultimate prize. When my eyes opened my first thought was, I have to tend to my man again, but the mop of curly hair was stopping me from looking across to him. I looked at Samir's face it was perfect his skin was like satin his little button nose was almost cartoonish, he was a true European baby, and as my heart soared with instant love I heard.

"Guess my morning suck is out of the question then."

"Guess it is, but thank you for giving me another man to love, he's bloody awesome Kasey."

"He is isn't he?"

"Just beautiful is he damaged mentally?"

"I don't think so the psyches told me he just did his job and stayed out of everyone's way, he didn't know how long he had been in the camp he could have been born there for all he knew." My thoughts immediately went to the younger girls, maybe he's one of their babies, I knew Kase was thinking the same.

"That's so sad, but we are lucky we have him we can give him the best life any kid could have, are we going to have any problems adopting him?"

"No I have researched it thoroughly and your father and my team will help to get his Australian citizenship, at the moment he's on a temporary Military passport but we can never take him back to Iraq they will put him in a foster home."

"And your job is finished there?"

"No but it's wrapping up soon I still have to advise, but it can be done from anywhere there's a computer."

"Good, how long do you have in Italy?"

"As much as I need, your dad has been great, I think he's a little proud of me at the moment."

"He wants bragging rights Kase, you should have heard him in the salon's tea room when you were found."

"Oh, I suppose that didn't go down too well with you."

"No it didn't, it's actually what set me off on this journey it wasn't all about what you did."

"You shouldn't worry so much Adam, everything turned out okay in the end."

"Kasey if I don't worry about you then who will, your mother, your sister, or your father? No, I should be the one to do the worrying I'm the one that loves you the most." His head lifted to look at me, then he winked and that awesome sweet smile was back on his face. He's such a kid at heart and he's going to spoil Samir rotten, I already know that.

He stirred and I watched as he tried to open his eyes, he was fighting waking up and it made me wonder why it's so hard to get kids off to sleep and when they do go off it's harder for them to wake up. I will ponder this question many times in the future.

"How's the other guy that was sent to Paris?"

"He will be fine he's out of danger now, Jake is his name a real family man has four sons all destined for military service I think."

"God help them, I hope none of them are gay."

"Poppa?" I heard my boy's voice say.

"Behind you." I said.

"No, that poppy Adams poppa."

"Good morning son, did you sleep well?" I kissed his nose.

"Yes poppa, I had a dream you come see me."

"I did, see you, you were sleeping so I tucked you in and didn't wake you up."

"Did you kiss night?"

"Yes I did."

His grin got so huge it was beautiful.

"He knows and understands English but it's not polished yet, bits and pieces but we can teach him more."

He closed his eyes and Kasey tapped my hand and indicated we should go shower before he fully wakes up. He switched the TV onto the cartoon channel and then he stripped, I gasped at his beauty once again as he led me under the shower, he was on his knees in no time.

"I can't wait to fuck you again Adam,"

"Me too you Kasey." He looked over at the door and said.

"We got time, he takes ages to get out of bed."

He fished around in his travel shaving bag and found some lube then he slicked up and leaned into the shower, what could I do, I was busting to oil his insides.

"What would you like for breakfast?" I asked Samir then I kissed his head, he had sat quietly in front of the TV and waited for us to finish. I suppose it's nearly the first time he's ever seen one.

"Some things make noise poppa."

I looked at Kasey, he went to his duffle bag and pulled out a mini box of snap crackle and pop, and surprise some sugar, coffee and long-life milk so we could have a little breakfast party on our own. I rang reception and ordered loads of scrambled eggs and toast for us all just in case he might like some of that too. Kasey also had a small plastic bowl and spoon and had begun making him up something to eat.

"What will we do today Adam with an a?" He was eager to see Venice, and I won't book a return ticket just yet.

"I haven't seen the Doge's Palace in San Marco square, I was going to do that today."

"Sounds like a good idea how far is it?"

"About four squares over, eight or ten-minute walk maybe, not far everything isn't far away here."

"Good, what else?"

"Humour me with a gondolier ride with an opera singer Kase, Sammy will love it."

"Done, next?"

"I think that will take us up to him having his afternoon nap Kase, we can chill out in here." I winked.

He went red in the face then he grinned from ear to ear, I know he's got trouble on his mind lets hope my ass is up for it. We readied our new son, he was excited to see this beautiful city, Kasey had told me everything he sees is new to him, even the flight over he didn't sit still all the way. He had seen planes in the sky but didn't know what they were for we have much to show and teach him I think.

"I put the TV on the cartoon channel on the plane that quietened him down a bit, he didn't know what it was at first, then I heard him laughing his head off it was so cute." I squeezed his hand as we walked towards the San Marco square, Kasey had Sam on his shoulders his eyes were everywhere, he's never seen such wonders. We walked around the palace for an hour and a half, he wanted to play in the big room but the guards were watching his every move so I held him on my hip, he wasn't heavy at all he was as light as a feather.

That worried me a bit I suppose when we get back home I will have to fatten him up a little, finding out what he likes to eat is going to be the problem.

I didn't tell Trish or Eva about him I wanted to surprise them, and I wanted them to be the best aunties ever. We found a Gondola pier nearer to the hotel, that was after we bought Billy some masks, not scary ones beautiful ones he can hang on his walls. Kasey wanted to get one for me it was stunning, extremely Nouveau looking but cost a bomb, so I told him I didn't like it all that much, I lied. It was so intricate I thought it may get squashed in the luggage on the way home so we didn't buy it. The gorgeous mask arrived in Australia three weeks after we got home Kasey had it shipped over for me.

We grabbed a Gondolier with an opera singer, Samir was a bit hesitant getting into the boat but with Kasey's urging, he was placed in between us. Another artist played his piano accordion as the singer started, my kid was all eyes as we were pushed out into the Grand canal. It turned up a smaller one and from there we sailed through Venice listening to some wonderful music. Back at the hotel we ordered some lunch and waited for its arrival, Sam watched TV but alas the quiet got the better of him and he was dead to the world within ten minutes. We ate almost in silence, Kasey as usual insisted we be naked I guess he's missed his daily perving material. We had our bathrobes at the ready just in case he woke up. His foot found my balls my foot found his low hangers, we grinned, winked, and generally licked our forks seductively. He was almost finished and I was halfway through when he finally gave in and jumped up dragging my soon to be sorry ass into the bedroom. He didn't want any foreplay, he didn't need it he was as stiff as a plank, the gel squirted everywhere and I was lucky some went onto his dick because he wasn't going to slow down anytime soon.

I rode him like a trooper because it was like welcoming an old friend home again, I arched my back and pushed down as much as I could and he was buried deep inside me. I gasped as he pumped slowly then he pulled out smiled then slammed it in again I nearly screamed with pain, but it was Kasey doing it, and I so wanted more. I pushed him onto his back and sat down on him lifting my ass off and onto his dick. He was saying something, but in the throes of gathering up my load I didn't know what he said until I realized he was pumping his babies into me, I started immediately and he got a good muscle squeeze in the process. The sweat was forming on our skins he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he had that crazy look on his face.

"I can still feel you."

"I can feel you too."

"My god that was awesome Adam, I want to come again."

I looked at his member it hadn't gone down.

"Coming right up sir."

I did the same thing I sat on him and sucked on his nipples, and damn me he came again not long after. It took me a while but I managed another orgasm then I collapsed onto his chest. Our heavy breathing was the only noise in the room and the smell of pungent sex filled my nostrils, Kasey was licking my neck and he was moaning over and over again.

"I need more."

"I don't." I smiled into his shoulder.

"What do I need to do with your dressings?"

"Not much, it's not that bad, they hit my shoulder and grazed my arm, maybe I will take the dressings off and let them air out."

"I will take a look and let you know, dad said you carried Jake all the way."

"He was in a bad state Adam I had to, it was the kids I was more concerned for they were hungry and pretty tired, the other guys were mostly shell shocked so they couldn't help much except follow my orders. I couldn't carry all of them so I rested every half hour and prayed the resistance guys weren't out looking for us. I had also winged two of them as we left." He dropped his head.

"It's a war Kasey that's what you are supposed to do. But I'm sorry to hear that, your heart is too beautiful to be laden with it all, but my guess is it was either them or you."

"Yes, I don't want to think about it, and between me and you it felt good after all they were fucking with the kid's heads, thank god I think Sam's isn't damaged beyond repair but some were, they couldn't even talk to me, it didn't matter how hard I tried they wouldn't acknowledge me."

"Maybe with a few kind women around they might open up a bit." He nodded yes.

"Will you need some sort of debriefing?"

"No, I had some when I was in the hospital, but the best cure is being here with you Adam with an a. Everything disappears when you are around, you suck it all out of me and I feel whole again you do that to me you do it all for me." He kissed me again and I felt him stir, if he wants to go again I don't mind one bit.

We made coffee and sat and watched our son sleep his afternoon away.

"Have you organized a return date yet?"

"No, I was about to do it last night but you turned up now I don't know, when do you leave?"

"In about five days, I will hitch a ride with a military plane to Singapore then fly home from there on a regular one."

"Why don't I just book us a ticket to fly together with Sam the regular way, then he can fly in comfort."

"All right, I will organize it, who were you flying with?""Qantas." I handed him my ticket, hopefully, he will be able to get on the plane with me even better, a seat next to mine.

"I saw a travel agency on our outing today, I will go tomorrow and fix it all up."

"Okay just let me know how much our boy's ticket is, I have to go you halves."

"Sure." He grinned as if he would charge me half of Samir's ticket. He was stirring around five he had one eye on the TV and the other was shut, must be hard being pampered to the max. I started a bath because I wanted to wash his hair, and see what I had to work with. At the moment it was a mass of long black curls it fell down his back and in some ways he looked like a little girl. We tried to make the impact of his introduction to the western world as gentle as we could, and as Kasey soaped him up I did his hair, I wished I had of bought some scissors with me but I think I will go and ask the girls in the hotel salon if I can rent a chair for an hour or two, Kasey could do with a slight trim too his hair is looking so much better nowadays.

"Can you finish him off and I'll be back in a minute."

"Where are you going?"

"To the salon downstairs to either borrow some scissors or rent a chair for a while."

I spoke to the girls and they were more than happy to accommodate us, I will bring him down it wasn't expensive and I think they needed the business. With Samir and Kasey in tow, I introduced them to the ladies, then I went about cutting his locks off, he wasn't upset he kept looking at all the shiny things on the station table, the ladies swanned around Kasey he lapped it up for a while then it got too much for him so he came over just as I cut Sam's first tress off. I didn't know what I was going to do with it, but I wanted him to fit in more as a boy. I decided, in the end, to do it like Billy's and my shoulder-length style but Samir's will be curlier, so I started layering it. Coffee was made for us and an orange juice for my special client, he turned his nose up but drank it none the less. When I finished Kasey's hair I cleaned everything up and the ladies fussed over him, some words I could understand but mostly I didn't know what they were talking about. I paid for my time and we waved them goodbye.

Next on the agenda was to get him some new clothes, but I didn't see much in the way of clothing shops on my travels, except the high-end stuff. We walked around for the next hour Kasey was looking forward to going to a restaurant I think he's hungry again. We found a small store tucked away in one of the hundreds of alleyways and the clothes were superbly made. We found out there was a tailor in the rooms above that designed the kids clothes then made them up, Samir looked beautiful in his new t-shirt and jeans, they had a flourish of Venetian masks embroidered down one thigh I thought they were so arty and we should have them framed when he grows out of them, we didn't need a jacket it was too hot for all that and if it is cold in Brisbane when we land I will get someone to meet us at the airport with one, but I still didn't want to let the cat out of the bag just yet by announcing we had an extra body with us.

We finished with the kid's clothing store and the manageress told us about a tiny café where we would get superb food her husband was the chef, so we took our instructions after dropping a few hundred Euros into her register and started our trek again, this time I piggybacked our son. His head rested on my shoulder so he could see what's up ahead and when I turned I got a good whiff of his scented hair and it tickled my nose.

"This is it Kasey down here." I pointed to a very small alleyway it was more of a pathway but not busy looking. The café turned out to be a house with eight tables in the living room come restaurant, chandeliers adorned the ceiling and the walls were covered in Venetian mirrors of all sizes, it sort of felt like home. Louie was very friendly and knew English so he handed us the menu and left us to decide what we wanted to eat.

"I want to do the Italian thing Adam, different home-made pasta and sauces I want to try everything." Kase couldn't decide what he wanted which was a first for him. I wanted the same so we spoke to Louie and he said to leave it to him. Samir didn't know any of the food so we decided he could eat what we were, but no spicy food for him. The man was a genius, he had six different dishes on the table within twenty minutes, we had ordered wine which was lovely and Sammy had his first milkshake.

Kasey kept looking at me across the table as I fixed Sam up with a napkin so he doesn't spill food down his new t-shirt, once I caught him smiling and the next he was licking his lips he must be hungry, NO! he wants sex again because his hand rested on my crotch. I am up for a bit more but a good night's sleep would be nice too. The candles were lit and the other tables become busy. Louie started to bring out all this amazing food for us, my favorite Lasagne some herb lamb cutlets three different spaghetti's and sauces heaps of garlic bread, it was a kings feast and Kasey's eyes were like big pie dishes, I helped Sam get some spaghetti and tomato sauce he was happy with just that, but not before his lip dropped, then I realized he wanted some cheese too.

I cut the big noodles up to make it easier for him then he dug in like he had never eaten before. Kasey of course tasted everything, and I hadn't even started yet. The night was costly but well worth it in the end, Louie was a Master Chef and by the noises coming from the other tables our fellow diners felt the same, we didn't want to take up the table for longer than necessary because by now there was a line outside the door, so Kasey paid the bill and we washed Sammy's hands and left. It was a perfect night everyone was eating and the bigger restaurants were full and tables were spilling out onto the streets, my boy was tired so we decided not to cruise around we would just go back to the hotel.

He didn't watch TV he wanted to sleep so we put him to bed with a kiss and a prayer. My husband to be made love to me slowly, he was trying to draw it out and when he had fully finished I kissed him good night and drifted off to sleep in his arms.

He disappeared in the morning he had something to do so I entertained Sam then made some phone calls, when Kasey arrived back he got on his computer he had some work to do and by the smile on his face he was winning.

"The only thing now is life in jail or hanging, the jury found them all guilty."

"Hangings too good for them, they should languish in jail for the rest of their lives."

"I told the head prosecutor that I think he will bring it to a close sooner by going that way."

"What about the kids?"

"They have all been taken in by family members, a few are still in an orphanage but I am assured they won't be in there long."

"Do you have a guarantee they won't be abused in there?"

"No, and that bothers me."

"Me too."

Kasey closed his laptop after finishing an email and followed us downstairs. I was a little hungry again, I ate loads last night but I guess my stomach forgot that.

I will end up looking like a blimp if I don't reign in my eating habits.

We had breakfast in the hotel, and Samir was trying a few different things, god knows what he ate in the camp but it mustn't have been very good, he was undernourished. After his third boiled egg, he looked like he wanted to say something, and I knew exactly what it was. There was a tray of mini muffins on the buffet and he was staring at them.

"Muffins son, what kind would you like? Chocolate banana or blueberry?"

"I don't know." He shook his head from side to side.

"Chocolate it is then, wait for a minute and poppa will get you some."

He smiled and scrunched his hands like all little kids do when they are about to get a treat.

Kasey was very attentive on our trip outside, he kissed me and Sam at every opportunity, the surrounding crowds weren't interested in what we were doing and the Italians are very understanding about these matters and of course, Kasey couldn't care less, this is what he's always wanted to do. We walked the alleyways and bridges, sat and had coffee in a big square just people watching, Samir got to know some other kids and they all ran around playing.

We also ate until there was no room for more, Sam tried some pizza, he said it was his favorite food, the cheese was melting onto his plate and that's a big plus in his tiny world.

"When are we flying out?"

"Three days Adam, we are all seated together."

"Great, how did you manage that?"

"I changed your ticket to business class and bought the other two seats in the row."

"Thank you very much I get to sleep on the way home then."

"After we join the mile high club then you can sleep." Only God knows what goes on in that man's head, but I all of a sudden was looking forward to the flight home.
