Leith - chapter 6
"Mikko," Joel whispered, gesturing for him to come to the glass patio doors. "Look at this." Mikko looked up with a questioning glance. He had just finished stepping out of his shorts and stood naked before his brother, his erection showing the height of his excitement. Joel spared him a momentary glance before motioning for him to hurry. "Take a look at our sons. I'd say they're getting along well, wouldn't you?"
Mikko looked out to the pool where Leith and Brett were locked in a tight embrace, standing in the shade cast by a group of orange trees. They spoke for moment and then kissed. "Brett's gay?" Joel gave his brother a confirming nod.
"Normally he's pretty shy. I'm surprised he feels comfortable enough with Leith to express his feelings so quickly . . . and so publicly." Joel chuckled. "Everyone in this family seems to be a show off." He quickly shucked his shirt and grinned when he saw Mikko had opened both glass doors, drawing the instant attention of their sons.
"You want them to watch?" Joel murmured, moving closer to the door and drawing his brother into his arms. He knew the boys were getting a good view of Mikko's white butt, his long legs and broad back. He ran his hands over Mikko's buttocks and grinned when they flexed at his touch.
"You are the biggest show off in the family, little brother. You always have been." Mikko hummed his agreement as his lips found his brother's and all talking ceased.
"Look, Leith." Brett whispered and nodded toward the open doors and their naked fathers. "They want us to see them, don't they?" Leith stopped kissing his cousin's neck and turned toward the house.
"Damn," he whispered when he saw what Brett was talking about. "I'll bet they saw us and now they want us to watch them." He took Brett's hand and they moved to the patio and the puddle of shade cast by another tree, this one covered in yellow flowers that played host to thousands of bees.
"They're right outside the door," Joel murmured into his brother's ear. He smiled to see Brett sitting close to his cousin with his arm around Leith's waist. In turn, Leith had his arm around Brett's shoulders. "Let's give 'em a show they'll remember," he urged, moving so the boys could watch him kneel and begin sucking on Mikko's penis. He heard a hiss of indrawn breath when he managed to deep throat the entire thing.
After a few moments, he laid on his back and Mikko knelt between his widely spread legs to begin sucking him, exposing his butt and low hanging testicles to their sons, less than ten feet away. Before feeling the touch of his brother's tongue on his penis Joel wondered what the boys were making of all this . . . and what Susan would say if she happened to stumble onto the scene of her brother-in-law sucking off her husband while her naked son and nephew looked on. He devoutly hoped there was no reason for her to return unexpectedly. He knew he was taking a risk, but his body had taken control of his mind. Mikko had always loved the prospect of getting caught, as well as showing off. Then Mikko's hot mouth surrounded Joel's penis and all thoughts of responsibility or accountability vanished.
"C'mon, sit on it, little brother," he urged as Mikko knelt to apply some lube to his brother's cock and then liberally coat his own hole with the slick substance. He squatted over Joel's cock, a look of concentration on his face. Joel watched Mikko bite his lower lip as the head of his cock slipped inside. He threw his head back and gasped at the feeling. His eyes were tightly closed and a fine sheen of sweat, caused by more than the heat, coated his forehead as he impaled himself.
"Holy shit," one of the boys muttered when only Joel's testicles were showing. "Look at that," Brett murmured, tightening his arm around his cousin's waist. "Damn . . ." he groaned as his father grasped both of Mikko's butt cheeks and spread them apart, giving the boys a good view of his cock, spreading his brother's anus wide. Leith was silent, transfixed by the sight. The air was charged with sexual energy. One could almost sense the testosterone wafting past.
"Come on Joel," Mikko urged, a drop of sweat, dripping off of his chin and landing on his brother's chest. "Harder, man," he groaned. "I've been wanting this for years." The boys could hear everything that was being said, as well as the groans of pleasure from each of their fathers as Joel's orgasm quickly approached.
"Harder!" Mikko demanded, his voice hoarse. "Pump me full." Joel groaned loudly and slapped the side of Mikko's ass cheek. "Harder! Let me feel your dick pulse as you unload in me."
Leith was mesmerized. He had dreamt of what seeing his father having sex with another man might be like, but none of his dreams were as good as the reality. He and Mason had even concocted outrageous stories where they spied on their father masturbating, but neither of them ever imagined this. Joel's penis was madly pistoning into his father's butt hole, while his father was yelling for him to do it harder. The scene was more than he could have ever imagined.
"Are you ready . . . little . . . brother?" Joel gasped, speaking between each stroke. Both men were now coated in sweat. "You want my . . . sperm . . . up your . . . butt . . . huh?"
"Oh . . . yessss." Mikko's head rolled from side to side. His eyes were closed and he was resting on his knees, allowing both boys to see what was happening. " Fill me . . . Joel, like you used to."
"C'mon, Dad," Brett whispered to himself. He grinned when Leith glanced at him and raised his eyebrows.
"Oh, yeah," Joel shouted. The furious thrusts had stopped to be replaced by slight jerks as he pumped his brother's hole full. Each jerk was accompanied by gasps of pleasure from the men that told the world, and both men's sons, they were getting their longed-for wish. They were together once again and had reaffirmed their love for one another.
"Shiiiit . . ." Leith breathed. "Holy . . . fucking . . . shit." Brett looked at him. "I never would have dreamed," Leith continued, shaking his head in wonder.
"That you'd see our dad's fuck?"
"Huh?" Leith turned to his right. "No. I'd never have imagined Dad as a bottom!" He shook his head in disbelief. "And a damned good one too." He winked when Brett began smiling. After a moment he pulled Brett closer to him and whispered. "I'll bet you're better though." Brett's smile was luminous.
"G'night, Dad." Brett gave his father a brief hug before his father turned toward the bedroom door. "You and Mom aren't going to be visiting this side of the house tonight, are you?" He tried to keep from blushing but knew he was losing the battle. He jerked his chin up, a nervous habit born of insecurity from being the shortest in the family, and as a distraction from his frequent blushes. He hoped his father wouldn't notice his red cheeks.
Joel paused with his hand on the doorknob. "You and Leith haven't had a moment to yourselves, have you?" Joel tipped his son's face up with a single finger under the chin and grinned an understanding smile. "I'll make sure there's no reason to come over here . . . but it wouldn't hurt for both of you to lock the bedroom doors, just in case." Joel looked closer at his son and then glanced over his shoulder, noticing Brett glance down the hall as well.
"Were you freaked by seeing Mikko and me this afternoon?" Brett was watching his father closely. The man appeared to be genuinely worried about what his son had witnessed. "I know it's one thing to intellectually know I've had sex with Mikko, and quite another to see it." Joel grinned to himself. "Mikko always was the exhibitionist . . . and I guess I have a little of that in me as well. More than I thought, actually." He laid a hand on Bret's shoulder. "Is everything cool?"
Brett's smile left no doubt. "More than cool, Dad! I have been so horned-up since seeing you guys I can't believe it, and to think that Leith might be interested in me is more than I could have hoped." Once again Brett blushed, the bane of having pale skin. "He is so sexy." Brett lowered his eyes. "I've never been kissed like that before, not that I've been kissed that many times," he added, "but . . . you know?"
Joel nodded his understanding, reaching out to gently squeeze his son's shoulder in understanding. "Son, you and I have to remember something about Mikko and Leith." He glanced once again over his shoulder. "They're both . . . fragile . . . at the moment. We . . . you and I . . . can help them out, but neither of us should expect more than they, or we can give." Joel looked at his son with a serious expression.
"What I guess I'm saying, Brett, is don't fall in love with Leith, thinking . . . " He paused a moment, attempting to choose his words and then shook his head. "I don't know. Just don't expect more of Leith than he may be able to give. I guess Mason meant the world to him, and he's still not totally come to grips with his death yet."
"I'll follow my own advice with Mikko, and maybe I need to put your mind at ease some too, hmm?" Brett looked at his father, not knowing how to respond.
"Brett, with all that's going on you probably wonder where I stand with your mother." Brett barely nodded. "I love Mikko, and I love your mother . . . equally." He swallowed with difficulty before continuing. "I don't want to do anything to hurt either one of them."
"But . . ." Brett supplied into the pause. His father was staring into the dimly lit bedroom, lost in thought. He grinned at his son.
"But, if I have to hurt someone . . . it won't be your mother. I've got Glenn and Kent and you to consider as well as your mother. I love each of you." Once again he swallowed, visibly troubled by what he was saying. "I love each of you . . . even more . . . than I love Mikko." Brett nodded in understanding. Joel cleared his throat and tried to face his son with a confident smile. "Besides, Mikko would never put me in a situation where I would knowingly hurt any of my family."
"I understand, Dad. I know what you're going through must be tough, but you'll do what's right . . . for everyone." Joel gave his son a rueful grin.
"Well, I'd better get out of here so you guys can have some privacy." He winked when Brett began to furiously blush. He leaned down and quickly kissed his son on the cheek and then closed the door without a backward glance.
Brett stood and watched the closed door lost in thought. Since telling him of his love for his brother, his father had been treating him differently . . . as an equal. He grinned to himself, liking the change in his relationship.
There was a tentative knock at the door leading to the bath Brett shared with his brother, Glenn. He blinked, drawn back to the present and took the few steps to cross the room and opened the door.
"Hi," he said shyly. Leith grinned, slightly extending his arms to his side as if to say, 'here I am.' Brett was at a loss for words. He had been anxious for this moment all evening, now he was scared. His father's description of Leith as 'fragile' had had an impact that was surely unintentional. Before his father's comments, he had seen Leith as a sexy person his own age. Now, he saw him as vulnerable. He wasn't sure what to do, fearful he might do something wrong.
"I had a date with a handsome gymnast," Leith said, glancing past Brett and into the bedroom. "Have you seen him?" Brett glanced briefly at Leith and then over his shoulder, turning back when Leith placed his hands on Brett's waist and slowly pulled him close, chuckling at Brett's response to his teasing.
"Oh," Leith continued. "Sorry, I didn't recognize you with your clothes on!" He rested his cheek against the side of Brett's head, quietly holding him against his bare chest and saying nothing.
"Leith . . ." Brett put his arms around Leith's waist. He could feel the slow movement as Leith took each breath, and the slight shudder as well. "Are you doing okay?" He could feel Leith nod and tighten his embrace. Brett turned his head slightly, struck with the aroma of him, a spicy scent overlaying that of his maleness. He inhaled deeply in a moment of spontaneous sensuality, and then sighed deeply when Leith began to slowly move his open palm over his bare back.
The moment of silence stretched. Brett rested his head on Leith's shoulder. Finally, Leith took a deep breath. His voice was soft and gentle. "Yes, I'm doing fine. . . . It's just been so long since I've held someone like this . . . or been held . . . I'd forgotten how much I missed it." He rested his head against Brett's. "I could love you for no other reason than your understanding."
"You . . . love me?" Leith looked into his cousin's eyes, sensing the loneliness he tried to keep hidden.
"You've never had anyone other than your parents tell you that you're loved, have you?" Brett shook his bowed head once, and returned to resting against Leith's neck.
"Oh, my poor friend," he murmured, stroking Brett's back. "Why not?" There was no answer. "Brett, look at me." Leith waited a moment until his cousin looked up, noting the misty eyes.
"When I arrived in Phoenix earlier today, I loved you as my cousin. Something changed though. Later, as I watched you and listened to you . . . and held you . . . I realized I love you as something more than my cousin. I don't have words for how I feel yet, other than to say I truly do love you. Maybe we'll figure stuff out the longer I'm here." Leith's voice took on a teasing tone. "Maybe I'll even figure out how come you blush at everything I say. Is it 'cause I'm so sexy I take your breath away, or are you playing the part of a blushing bride on her wedding night . . . not really sure what to do?"
"I'm not playing a part, Leith. I don't know what to do . . . exactly." Brett tightened his arms around his cousin's waist, not wanting to see the reaction to his revelation. "I know I can't go wrong with a hug though." There was an extended pause, and then his muffled voice. "You really love me?"
Leith nodded, continuing to caress Brett's back. "Wait a minute." He backed up a bit. "Have you ever had sex with a guy before?" Brett nodded slowly. "Anal sex," Leith amended his question. This time Brett shook his head.
"I guess I am like that bride you mentioned." There was a slight upward jerk of his chin, an unconscious behavior. "I figured someday the right guy would come by and I'd reach out and grab him." He pulled Leith close with a twinkle in his eyes. "Then, once I had a grip on him . . . so he wouldn't run away . . . you know?" Leith snorted softly, amazed at how strong his cousin actually was. "Well, once I had him in my clutches I'd whisper in his ear. Brett leaned close and whispered. "Fuck me silly, handsome. Let's make a baby." Brett had trouble keeping from bursting into laughter as he spoke.
"That's not possible, my handsome gymnast," Leith teased.
"What?" Brett acted shocked. "Don't tell me I've got one who's impotent!" He could no longer help himself. He broke into laughter, seeing Leith's expression. "After seeing you're wily this afternoon I was sure it was long enough to poke me." Brett made as if to turn away in disappointment.
"Willy?" Leith laughed. "Impotent?" His voice rose. He pulled Brett back to him. "Long enough . . . to poke you?" he chortled in gentle indignation.
"It's okay." Brett kissed the tip of Leith's nose. "You don't have to apologize. Not everyone can be hung well enough to poke someone." He thrust himself against his cousin's groin, feeling the hardening mound through his underwear. "Maybe the two of us can find someone who is able to do the deed, hmm?" He backed up, a mischievous smile lighting his eyes. "Or better yet," he continued, reaching around Leith to switch off the bathroom light and close the door, gently urging Leith into the dimly lit bedroom, "we can see if we can get your wily working." He leaned over as if to examine it closer. "It does work, doesn't it?" Leith lasciviously cupped his own crotch.
"I'll show you who's long enough, Mr. I'm definitely not impotent, especially with you in the room."
"Oh, I'm impressed," Brett laughed. "I've had enough talk. I want some action, quick, or I'm taking my butt elsewhere for servicing, and you'll probably miss your only chance to deflower a handsome stud like me." Brett was almost beside himself he was laughing so hard. Leith grinned but seemed suddenly preoccupied.
Knowing Brett was a virgin changed things in Leith's mind. "Brett." He reached out and touched his cousin's shoulder, focusing his attention, his voice gentle. The laughter faded, suddenly replaced by a shy smile. He found he wanted to hold Brett . . . to protect him. He swallowed past a sudden lump in his throat.
'He's old enough to protect himself,' Leith thought, stepping closer and gently running his fingertips over Brett's cheek to his neck and finally to his short blond hair.
The slow deliberate touch made Brett's skin tingle. When he looked up and saw Leith watching him with an overwhelming sadness in his eyes. He had to gulp a deep breath of air and force himself not to break into tears.
'Who is he seeing right now?' Brett wondered. 'Does he know who he's touching?' Leith's hand had frozen in place. His gaze was unblinking.
"Leith," Brett whispered, unwilling to move in Leith's loose embrace. "It's me . . . Brett." He paused, relieved when Leith's eyelids fluttered. "Are . . . are you alright?" Leith compressed his lips and nodded once. The movement was more of a jerk of acknowledgment than a nod. His lower lip began to tremble and a single tear left a glistening trail over his cheek.
"I." Leith took a long shuddering breath as another tear rolled down his cheek. "I don't want to forget him, Brett. I feel that I am." Brett was silent, at a loss as to what he should do to help. "I sometimes feel like I've been condemned to live with memories that will gradually distort until the memories themselves are a lie." He wiped a hand across his face, dashing away the tears. "Then where will I be? Where will Mason be? The memories, they're all I have left of him."
"Will . . . will you hold?" He took a halting breath. "Hold me, Brett . . . Please."
'He's been thinking will power alone would conquer his emotions,' Brett suddenly realized, watching the hidden emotions surface. He took Leith's hand and led him to the bed. Leith followed and watched silently as Brett moved to the center of the bed and held his arms out in a silent invitation. Leith crawled onto the bed and stretched out next to his cousin, welcoming the warmth and comfort the embrace brought him. He allowed himself to think of why the embrace meant so much. It was the first time he had been held like this . . . since Mason held him . . . the morning he left for school. That day. Leith buried his face in the crook of Brett's neck and silently sobbed as Brett gently stroked his back offering his silent support.
Leith clung to him, an anchor of stability. He knew he was not being judged because of his loss of control. He felt accepted unconditionally by someone his own age. He knew his father loved and accepted him, but being held by Brett was different . . . more satisfying.
Out of the corner of his eye, Brett could see the moonlight cast the backyard in silver light. The patio doors stood open admitting the distant sounds of the city as well as a gentle breath of a cool night-time desert breeze which caused the sheer drapery to gently move, ghost-like in the darkened room.
Leith had stopped crying and was snuggled close, his arm resting across Brett's chest, his steady breathing interrupted only sporadically by a shuddering breath.
"Thank you, Brett," he murmured. "I guess I . . . "
"Shhh." Brett tightened his hug. "There's no need for apologies . . . or explanations." He grinned when Leith sniffed once and mumbled, sounding like a child.
"Okay."
"Anything for my favorite cousin," Brett murmured, "and one of the sexiest men I've ever met." He paused, seeking to change the mood. "Even when that sexy man's nose is dripping down my neck."
"Ewww, gross." Leith raised himself up on his elbows and studied Brett's neck, also seeking a way to leave the emotional outpouring behind.
"You're telling me it's gross?" Brett giggled quietly, pleased Leith's mood seemed to be changing. "This has been quite a night. I've got a sexy guy in his underwear practically on top of me, weighing me down so I can't move, and his nose is running down my neck, and all parts of my body have gone to sleep except my head. And you know what?" he asked, shrugging into a sitting position and wincing as circulation returned to his limbs.
"No, what?" Leith grinned as Bret grimaced at the sensations he was experiencing.
"I'm absolutely loving every minute of it . . . even the runny nose bit," he teased. Leith giggled, reaching out and nudging the man next to him. "I think I need a shower," Brett continued, making a face and rubbing his hand over his neck. He got a sly look on his face. "Or something even better than a shower."
He climbed off the bed still moving stiffly.
Leith watched his cousin move in the moonlight, stretching and twisting from side to side. "What are you thinking, Brett?" he asked, when Brett stepped out of his underwear and held out his hand in an invitation to join him. Leith gingerly moved to the side of the bed and pulled off his own underwear, intensely aware of Brett's erect penis nearby. He accepted his cousin's outstretched hand, feeling its strength.
"You said something earlier about swimming naked in the moonlight. Well, we're both naked." He gestured first to Leith, then himself. "There's lots of moonlight." He looked over his shoulder toward the backyard. "And there's a deserted swimming pool only steps away. Do you have any ideas?"
Brett faced Leith in silence, waiting for an answer, the shadows cast by the moonlight stretching back into the bedroom. "Damn," Leith sighed in wonder. "You are so handsome." Brett grinned at the compliment. "Way better looking than I remember you being as a kid." Brett's grin became a smile.
"Must be the muscles," Brett joked.
"Hmm, and the nice dick," Leith murmured, reaching out to caress Brett's erection.
"Not too small?" Brett continued to feel inadequate.
"Nope, it's perfect." Leith squeezed once more before they turned toward the back yard. They stepped out onto the patio and then walked across the dew-wet glistening grass hand-in-hand. Silently they eased themselves into the chest-high water and swam slowly to the far end of the pool where Leith stopped. He pulled Brett close, feeling his cousin's stiff penis joining his between their bodies.
"I think I am definitely going to like Phoenix," he murmured, directly into Brett's ear. "Do you want to know why?" He kissed Brett gently on the lips, continuing to hold him close. Brett nodded in silence, unwilling to loosen his embrace.
"I'm loving Phoenix because you're here, Mr. handsome gymnast."
