- Look Shane No Hands -
By the time Mark and Rye got back from shopping and buying food everyone was back in the loft. Shane was still wandering around in his sleep pants and tee while Bryan and Nicky were playing cards. Kian and Jill were sitting on one of the sofas and were talking with their heads together and giggling to each other.
"Hi guys, we're home," Mark announced as he put several packages on the nearest couch.
"Whatcha get us?" Bryan asked without looking up.
"Hah, its a surprise, but I might just be willing to give it to you if you and Nicky go and grab the groceries from the car." Mark smiled and jiggled a bag at Bry and Nicky. They both looked over at Mark and their faces lit up like it was Christmas morning. They dropped their cards and raced to the door.
Everyone chuckled. Shane smiled up at Mark and asked, "Hey bro, can I borrow your fella?"
Mark blushed and hid his face in Rye's shoulder but said, "Of course."
Rye looked at Mark with a question in his eyes but Mark just shrugged.
"Upstairs Rye?" Shane asked as he moved to the stairs.
"Sure."
Once upstairs both of the men moved to sit on the bed and Rye turned to Shane.
"Whats up me boyo?"
Shane smiled and evaded the question, "Why do you call me that?"
"I'll tell you if you tell my why Mark blushed when you said what you said downstairs."
"Oh that," Shane shrugged, "a fella in Ireland means a boyfriend, but in an intimate sort of way, if I had asked if I could borrow his lover it would have meant basically the same thing."
"Ah I see, okay I call you that because, well I have heard you call the others 'my boy' and I liked the way it sounded. It was sweet and personal, but I feel stronger about you because you are like the big brother. So I use your words 'my boy' when I speak to the others, but you are 'me boyo', just a little something extra."
Rye looked at Shane as he said it, then felt really stupid. "Sounds dumb when I say it out loud. I just liked the sound of you calling the others your boy and I guess I wanted to be a part of that."
"It's not dumb, its nice, I like it when you call me that."
There was an awkward pause, that Rye finally broke.
"What did you really want to talk to me about Shane?"
"Well its like this, I mean I know you don't need my permission, I mean who am I really to say yes or no, but I just wanted to say that if you and Mark decide to get together, you know, then its okay with me." He looked up at Rye then rolled his eyes and fell backwards onto the bed. "God did I just sound like a total prick?"
"Not at all. We had already decided we were going to go further. But honestly, on the ride home we had both said that maybe we should talk to you first to make sure you were okay with it."
Rye lay down beside Shane propping his head up on one arm while placing his other arm across Shane and gently rubbing his chest through his t-shirt. "You mean the world to Mark and me, but especially to Mark and we will never shut you out of our lives."
Suddenly Shane started to cry.
"What is it Shane?"
"Nothing. I'm okay."
"It's not nothing," Rye got up and leaned over the balcony. "Mark can you come up for a minute."
"Sure Rye," Mark said from below.
Rye could hear Nicky and Bryan already trying to figure out how to hook up the playstation and fighting over which game to play first.
"Rye don't, please," Shane said behind him as he started to get up.
Rye went back over to the bed and once again laid beside Shane, placing his arm around the man's waist and pulling himself in close. He heard Mark come up the steps and saw him lay down on the other side of Shane, wrap his arm around Shane's waist and then lay his head on Shane's chest to look at Rye.
"What's wrong?" Mark asked.
"We were talking about you and me getting together. I told Shane that we had already talked about it but still wanted to make sure he was okay with it. I told him that he meant the world to us and we would never shut him out and he started to cry," Rye said softly.
"Maybe he thinks that I won't love him as much, or that he will be second place now," Mark said.
Shane listened as the two men discussed him like he wasn't lying there sandwiched in between the two of them. He wanted to say something but he was frightened since they were already saying exactly how he was feeling.
"Do you think that's it?" Rye asked, "I certainly hope he doesn't really think that way. I hope that he would know he is really number one with both of us now. I hope he would understand that what you and I share doesn't have to exclude him and that he is always a part of us."
"Maybe we could show him, just to make sure he understands," Mark suggested.
"I think that's a really good idea," Rye agreed.
Shane suddenly felt someone's lips brush against his own and he opened his eyes to see Rye smiling down at him. Rye leaned down and kissed him again, this time flicking his tongue across Shane's lips sending a shock through his body. Shane's eyes flew wide as Rye pulled back and stared into his eyes. This was not the way Rye had kissed him earlier. Then Rye leaned over and kissed Mark. Shane could see Rye flick his tongue over Mark's lips as he had done to him. Mark responded and opened his mouth to let their tongues touch and press against each other. Rye pulled back once again and this time Mark leaned in and kissed Shane on the mouth, flicking his tongue across Shane's lips. This time Shane did respond and kissed back, but still did not open his mouth. Mark leaned across Shane's chest, never letting his eyes leave Shane's eyes as he once again kissed Rye. Once again the two kissed, Mark flicking his tongue against Rye's lips and Rye opening his mouth to let their tongues taste each other.
Mark smiled and stared into Shane's eyes for a moment or two before bending down and once again kissing Shane. This time when he flicked his tongue against Shane's lips, Shane opened his mouth and let his tongue find Mark's. Their kiss deepened until finally Mark pulled back. Shane followed but Mark broke the kiss and just smiled at Shane. He leaned over and once again kissed Rye then got up and went back down the stairs. Rye watched him go then turned back to Shane and stared into his eyes. Shane saw love there, not just his love for Mark, but also that Rye loved him as well. Finally Rye leaned over and kissed Shane on the lips. This time it was Shane who flicked his tongue out and Rye responded. Letting their tongues explore each others mouth they kissed deeply for several minutes, until Rye pulled back. He looked into Shane's eyes which were wide with excitement.
"What Mark and I have doesn't have to exclude you Shane, we are willing to share what we have. We have made our decision and it includes you all, you just have to accept what we are offering."
Rye stood up and went down the stairs, leaving Shane breathless and excited on the bed. He lay there for a long time before getting up and changing his clothes since he discovered he had cum during this intense encounter. He was overwhelmed and excited. He had never thought of himself as gay but whatever had just happened to him he wanted to happen again. He paused and tried to remember which one of them had made him cum and couldn't. He shrugged his shoulders and went downstairs.
- Mark and Rye -
Rye went into the kitchen to find Mark who was getting a drink.
"We never discussed any rules. Were you okay with what happened?" Rye asked quietly.
Mark turned around and pressed his body into Rye's. Rye could feel Mark's erection. "God yes, I want you so bad right now I can't stand it."
"I think if we had made that bet I would have just won," Rye giggled as he once again tasted Mark's lips.
"No way, that was just foreplay, that doesn't count."
"He came."
Mark pulled back to look into Rye's eyes and smiled, "Did he? You are good."
"Just wait till tonight and you will be able to back that up with some first hand experience."
Mark giggled and Rye looked at him. "After tonight and we try out some other stuff, when we do get together with Bryan, we may just kill him."
Rye just smiled brightly as he pulled Mark close and kissed him deeply.
The two left the kitchen as Shane came down the stairs and joined everyone else sitting in front of the TV which was now showing a fight game. Nicky and Bryan were engrossed in the game and trying desperately to kill the other one first. As for the rest of the gang, Kian and Jill had moved into the area with everyone else but were back to whispering to each other and giggling and nibbling on each other. Shane was watching the action on the TV but seemed distracted. Rye and Mark were watching Nicky and Bryan. They were more fun to watch. Nicky stayed absolutely still except for his face which twisted and contorted as he continued to fight bravely. Bryan on the other hand moved his entire body looking like he was trying to mimic the characters on the screen.
As Bryan's character did some sort of flying spin kick, Bryan jerked on the couch and fell off. Rye burst into laughter as Nicky fell to the onslaught and lost the game.
"What?" Bryan turned to Rye.
"You are so cute when you play, your whole body moves with the action," Rye chuckled as Bryan blushed.
"I can't help it, I just get into the game." He tossed the controller to Shane who played the next rounnd.
After several games and a few hours had passed Bryan asked, "So what are we doing tonight?"
"Clubbing downstairs?" Jill suggested.
Variations of 'sounds good' came from those gathered.
Mark cleared his throat and said as innocently as he could, "I think Rye and I are staying in tonight."
Everything else was forgotten as all eyes turned to Mark and Rye and smiles played on everyone's lips.
"Well, that sounds like fun too," Nicky said, "maybe I'll stay here as well."
"Yeah us too," Jill spoke up for her and Kian.
"I could use some downtime." Shane looked like he was ready to burst into another laughing fit.
Mark unfortunately didn't catch on quick enough and tried his best to look pleased. "Oh...that umm...sounds okay. I don't want to spoil anyone's night though, I mean you could still all go out..."
By this time Bryan and Nicky were holding back laughter with their hands over their mouths and Jill had her head buried in Kian's shoulder but was shaking from silent laughter.
Rye leaned forward and pulled Mark back into him. "Sweetie they are playing with you."
Mark looked at Rye then at everyone around him. To everyone's surprise he started to cry. He wiped at his eyes but just became more distraught and finally just got up and went up to his bed. Everyone had stopped laughing and just sort of stared at him as he climbed to the bedroom.
"Rye?" Kian asked.
"He's nervous about our first time tonight and is stressing way too much."
"Oh God we're sorry, we didn't think," Nicky said for everyone.
"It's nothing you guys did, not really. But I think he needs his brothers up there right now, not his boyfriend. Think you guys can help him out?" Rye suggested.
Everyone smiled and nodded as they left to follow Mark up the steps to his and Rye's bed.
- Share And Share Alike -
The guys found Mark laying on his bed curled up with a pillow and sobbing gently. They all climbed into bed with him. Nicky curled up behind him and placed his head on Mark's shoulder. Bryan lay his head down on the pillow Mark was holding and wrapped his legs around Mark's legs. Kian sat at the end of the bed and pulled Mark's feet into his lap and rubbed them gently. Shane went to the top of the bed and pulled Mark's head into his lap.
"Ah me sweet sweet boy, lay your head down and tell us what has you so worked up you be weeping like a babe on the night you gonna be first with your fella." Shane said it softly and with a thick irish brogue. It would have sounded silly at any other time but at that moment it sounded so warm and tender and Mark's heart was so filled with love. He sighed deeply and shuddered as another sob took him.
"I'm so scared. What if I am not ready to do what he wants? Or what if I am no good? I mean I have never really done anything before. What if I do it wrong?" Marks little confession of self doubt had been punctuated with sobs.
"Oh Mark," Shane whispered as he stroked his best friends hair, "Rye has never done anything like this before either. Do you really think he is going to care if you do it exactly right. He is so happy just having you kiss him. When you two were up here with me earlier and we were... sharing.... you could see the love in his eyes.
"He loves you so much he is willing to share himself with us all, he is willing to share what you both have with all of us. I don't think I have ever seen a love stronger than what you two have."
Bryan looked at Shane and asked, "What do you mean share?"
Shane smiled and looked at Mark who just nodded his head.
"When the guys came back I was feeling frightened. I was scared that I was going to be pushed aside by this new love. Rye knew what I was feeling somehow. He called Mark upstairs and we all shared.... an experience. Something like what we all have done on tour. It was incredible," Shane explained.
"Rye made him cum," Mark sighed with almost pride in his voice.
Shane smiled, "I think it was both of you. Rye said that what he and Mark have doesn't exclude us and that the two of them are willing to share if we ask."
Mark nodded, "As long as it's Rye and I together, or like it was before when we were all on tour. He doesn't feel right about just him and one of you but otherwise yeah, we can all share."
"Mark?" Shane got Mark's attention. "Do you really think that feeling the way he does about all of this that Rye would ever want you to do something you weren't completely comfortable with. I tend to think just the opposite, that he may go further than he is comfortable with so that he can please you."
Mark wrinkled his eyebrows and thought. "He probably would. Oh great, now I have to worry that I am pushing him to do something he doesn't like. That didn't help at all Shane."
"Mark, its not going to be easy, and you can't expect it to be perfect. The best I can offer is to watch his eyes. His eyes say everything. That's what our experience together today taught me, you can't hide anything from those eyes, but he can't hide anything either. You love him and you will know if he is worried or uncomfortable, you may even know it before he does. Trust yourself and trust him." Shane leaned down and kissed Shane on the forehead.
"You're right of course. I am just so wound up I guess. Excited and nervous and embarrassed and happy and in love."
"Whoah," Bryan joked to lighten the mood, "I am lucky if I can manage a single emotion in a day, you're working with like a half dozen at once."
Mark laughed at the joke and ran his hands through Bryan's hair on the pillow.
"Mark?"
"What Bry?"
"What do you mean we can all share?" Bryan asked.
Mark chuckled, "I told Rye you would be the first." He smiled down at Bryan and explained, "I told Rye about how we all help each other out on tour sometimes."
"Mark!" Kian looked upset.
"I'm sorry guys, but I didn't want it to come between us. And he is cool with it." He looked at Kian. "And Jill is great, I know she will be okay with it, and if she isn't Rye could explain it to her and she would be okay. I know it Kian, don't worry about it, and please don't be mad at me. I needed to tell him."
Kian nodded, knowing that Mark was right, he had had to tell Rye. He also knew that Jill would indeed be okay with it.
"Anyway, so I was explaining about how it is with us, and asked him if he wanted me to stop, and if he was mad. I told him if he wanted he could be with you guys too, not anyone else but with you guys it would be okay. And I know it sounds bad, like I was offering you to him, but understand the state I was in. I didn't know how he would react, if I would suddenly lose him. But he was fine with it. He said he couldn't be with you guys by himself cuz that would feel like cheating, but if it was him and me with you then it would be okay. And he said that he understood how on tour we can't just be hopping into bed with anyone and we sometimes needed each other and he said that that was still okay, cuz he loves us all so much, cuz he loves me so much."
Mark took a breath and continued.
"So I told him that I thought you guys would all like the chance to share with us. Then he smiled at me and asked who I thought would be first, and I told him it would be Bryan cuz he is the horniest."
Everyone chuckled and punched at Bryan who blushed. It was almost true, Bryan was with one of the other guys almost every day on tour. Sometimes it was because he was horny, but sometimes when he went to his friends it was because he wanted to be held and to just know that someone loved him.
"Thanks guys. I guess I just needed to be with you all before the big night tonight. It's not going to change anything with us all, but it is going to be a change for me and it's nice to know that you all are there for me." Mark smiled.
The guys started to disentangle themselves and moved to the stairs but Bryan held back.
"Shane?"
Shane stopped at the top of the stairs as the rest continued down and turned to look at Bryan.
"What did you guys share?"
Shane came back and sat beside Bryan on the edge of the bed.
"They kissed me. Not like Rye kissed me earlier. This time both he and Mark kissed me and there was.... passion." Shane spoke in a whisper as he remembered the morning.
Bryan looked at his feet and shuffled them, wanting to say more.
"Go ahead and say it Bryan, it's okay," Shane said as he watched Bryan struggling, clearly wanting to say something.
"I want to be with them too."
"You will be. I think after tonight and they set up some rules for being with each other and with us you will get the chance. Those two are already expecting it to happen so it will." Shane said.
"Isn't it kinda weird though. I mean when we get together on tour it's just about sex. It sounds like there is more to it than just sex being with them. What if I am not ready for that or I disappoint them or screw it up in some way."
Shane thought for a minute before answering. "It's true there is definitely something different about being with them. I don't know what exactly. It's love, but it's still different than when it is just the two of them. The best way I can explain it is that there is just so much love between them that they can share it out with us and not lose anything between the two of them. In fact I think it makes their love stronger. As for not being ready or messing up with them, that won't happen. Believe me, when you are with them you can't screw up. You will realize almost immediately it's about love and nothing you could do would mess that up unless you betray them somehow. And Bryan I don't think you could ever betray them, I don't think any of us could, it would be the end of us. I know if I ever did anything to hurt them or lose their love my life would not be worth living."
Bryan thought about what Shane had said. Some of it scared him, like the idea that Shane would rather die than lose them. But when he thought about it he realized he felt the same way, he just wasn't brave enough to say it out loud.
Bryan finally asked, "What was it like this morning?"
"Wanta see?" Shane asked.
Bryan swallowed but nodded.
Shane gently pushed Bryan backwards on the bed and kissed him gently on the lips, his eyes locked onto Bryan's. The eyes were part of the experience, to look into the eyes of the person you were with as you shared. He pulled back and smiled at him then kissed him again and flicked his tongue against Bry's lips. Bryan moaned but he kept his eyes locked on Shane's. Shane smiled and kissed Bryan again, and once again flicked his tongue across his lips. Bryan responded and opened his mouth flicking his own tongue against Shane's. Shane deepened the kiss and the two men tasted each other. They stayed locked like this for several minutes then finally broke apart.
Bryan was smiling broadly then his smile turned to a look of dismay, "Damn I came in my pants."
Shane chuckled, "So did I this morning when they did it to me, it just means I did it right. I've never experienced anything so intense before, I wasn't sure it would work when I did it to you. When those two finish tonight and have set up the rules, they are gonna kill you when you get together."
He got up and left Bryan lying on the bed with an expression of joy and longing.
- Let The Fun Begin -
The guys were all ready and were just waiting for Jill to appear. The guys were dressed to the nines, in variations of tight silk shirts and dress pants. They were going to hit the dance floor tonight and were excited about it. Mark and Rye sat with them, although they were in more casual attire, jeans and t-shirts. Finally Jill made her debut. She was stunning in an ankle length black skirt slit to the waist on one side, she wore a red silk blouse with a plunging neck line and a slender golden chain around her neck. Everyone whistled in appreciation but the effect she had on Kian was astounding. He appeared to have stopped breathing.
"Well?" she asked and twirled girlishly in front of the men.
"You are beautiful Jill," Shane said with a wide grin.
"Thank you Shane. What do you think Kian?" she asked.
Nothing.
"Kian?" Shane said.
Nothing.
Nicky punched Kian in the shoulder and Kian finally responded.
"Oh my God," he whispered.
Jill's smile faltered a bit till she looked at his face and saw how he was looking at her.
"Oh my God," he said again.
Jill almost glowed now.
Kian finally stood up and went to her. He meant to reach out to her then stopped and whispered, "Can I touch you?"
Jill noticed his hands were shaking. She took his hand and drew him to her and with her other hand drew him in to kiss her. They broke the kiss and continued to stare at each other till Rye cleared his throat
"Jill could you let everyone know that next Sunday we are gonna have a friends and family night to send the guys off on the rest of their tour with a party."
"Oh Rye what a great idea, I wish I had thought of that." Jill sounded really excited.
"Friends and family night?" Shane asked.
"Jill will explain it," Rye said simply.
"Alright guys," Nicky said, "Let's leave these two boys alone so they can figure out just how much they love each other, and let's get down to the club and enjoy ourselves."
The group moved to the door and said goodbye one by one as they left the loft and headed down to the club. The place had just opened and Maria was host again.
"Good evening gentlemen, and lady. Your table is ready. Our featured meal tonight is sea bass in a champagne sauce, served with a bitter greens salad. Your server tonight is Chantal. Enjoy your evening." Maria was always a professional, and it helped that her manager was part of the group she had just welcomed.
"Thank you Maria, any problems tonight?" Jill asked.
Maria shook her head at Jill and smiled. "I'm sorry ma'am but our owner has strict policy about discussing business with our guests. Both he and our manager are unavailable for the next nine days or so, however, if you would like I can have them get back to you when they return."
Jill laughed throatily and Kian blushed and smiled at her. She said, "So Rye has gotten to the staff. Alright Maria, one thing though, Rye wanted me to set up friends and family night for a week Sunday. Do you want to look after that or should I?"
Maria smiled widely, clapped her hands together and hopped up and down excitedly. Friends and family night appeared to be something that was well liked by all. Maria then regained her composure. "Sorry Jill, didn't mean to go all high school on ya. I can look after the arrangements. Have fun tonight guys."
As they walked past Maria she quickly embraced Jill in a hug and whispered into her ear. Jill smiled and said something back then followed the guys to the dining area. Sure enough their table was set and waiting.
Shortly after sitting down a young woman came up to the table. Her eyes widened slightly at the guys but that was the only indication she gave as to her excitement. "Good evening gentlemen and lady. My name is Chantal and I will be your server tonight. Do you require menu's?"
"Yes please Chantal. Are you clear on how the check stands?" Jill asked.
"Ma'am," Chantal nodded at Jill, "Let me assure you, the owner of the club has made all arrangements for meals and drinks for you and your guests for the next week or so."
"Yeah, but what about tips?" Bryan interrupted with a look on his face like he had just discovered how to turn lead into gold.
"Sir, as I said the owner has made all arrangements. I will send Taylor over to take your drink order." Chantal left after handing out menus.
"What was that all about Bryan?" Nicky asked sounding a little annoyed.
"Sorry, I just thought maybe I had thought of something Rye hadn't taken care of. It would have been something I could tease him about. I didn't mean anything by it." Bryan said, obviously embarrassed.
"Don't worry Bry," Jill spoke up, "I see everyone getting big fat bonuses after this."
"Pardon me for interrupting," said a tall blond man dressed in tight black pants and equally tight white t-shirt, "My name is Taylor and I will be your server from the bar, what can I get you all tonight."
Jill looked around, "Wine or something stronger guys?"
"Wine for now I think," Shane replied, the others all nodded.
"Wine it is," Taylor answered. "Do you have a preference or would you like me to choose for you?"
All eyes turned to Nicky, who turned to Jill. "Um, I feel kind of embarrassed, I mean the prices..."
"Nicky darling, don't make me tell Rye on you, order what you want," Jill said with mock anger in her voice.
"I know what you are saying Jill I really do. It's just that I saw some bottles in the vault before and I would love to try it, but Jill these are beyond expensive, really I don't know if he would be pleased." Nicky said again with worry.
"Just do it Nicky," Jill smiled.
"Alright. Taylor could you please bring us a bottle of the 1929 Blanc D'or please," Nicky placed the order.
Taylor nodded and left into the vault. It was several minutes before he came back. He was holding a bottle of wine but he had a frown on his face.
"I beg your pardon sir. This wine is rather unique and I am unfamiliar with how to decant it," Taylor said apprehensively.
Jill raised her eyebrows and looked at the bottle, "What do you mean Taylor."
"It's okay guys," Nicky spoke up, "I know how to decant it."
Taylor bowed slightly and left as Nicky stood and took the wine from his hands. They watched as Nicky took the bottle and slowly, very slowly, turned the bottle upside down. Jill started to say something but Nicky just smiled. "I know, you aren't supposed to do this to wine, but in this case it's necessary. As long as its done slowly its okay."
Nicky continued to rotate the bottle until it was completely upside down, then he kept going until it was right side up again. He expertly removed the cork and took a nearby glass and poured. The wine was clear like water, but there were small flecks floating in the wine.
"It's ruined," Kian moaned.
"No, it's supposed to look like that," Nicky smiled happily, in fact he was almost glowing.
"What are the flecks in it Nicky?" Jill asked as she passed a glass to Shane.
"This wine is very very unique. Only 10 bottles were made a year, and it was only made for 7 years between 1929 and 1935. It is a wine made in a monastery in the alps. A single tree produces a variety of grape that can survive the high altitude." Nicky spoke as he continued to pour. "What makes it truly unique is that the grapes are pressed and the juice is collected in these bottles. The bottles are coated on the inside with gold. As the wine ferments and ages the gold on the inside peels away and mixes with the wine." Nicky sat down now with his own glass, slowly swirling it.
"You mean?" Shane left the question unspoken as he held up the glass to look at the small golden flecks in the clear liquid.
Nicky nodded, "It's called white gold, that's real gold you see. Perfectly safe to drink. While it's the gold that makes it unique, its the taste that has made it famous."
Bryan set the glass down, "Nicky what have you done, this has to be expensive. More than eight thousand like the other night."
The others agreed and looked at Nicky. Nicky nodded and looked at Jill. Jill was stunned, she had not known about this wine. She had taken a class at the local college on how to decant and taste wines, but her knowledge was limited. Nicky seemed to be a real expert. She wondered how much the bottle was worth herself but realized that to Rye it really wouldn't matter at all.
"If it is in the vault it is meant to be drank. Rye has never placed limits on anyone, and I know for a fact he would never deny any of you anything. If Rye knew how much Nicky were into wines he would have had him down here and they would have had a tasting party," Jill nodded as she spoke.
The guys looked at her uncertainly, so she said it again.
"I know it to be true guys, Rye would never say no."
Nicky turned back to his glass and swirled it briefly, watching as the light played off the tiny flecks in the wine. Then bringing the glass to his lips he took a small taste, letting it sit in his mouth before finally swallowing. He closed his eyes and a small sound escaped him as the incredible flavor filled his senses.
The others looked at him then at each other and finally followed his lead. He could see from the looks on their faces they were all enthralled by the wine.
It was finally Kian who spoke, "I have never tasted anything like that in my entire life. It's like you can actually taste the ice, and then there's like a burst of flavour that just fills your mouth, it's amazing, it's...." He stopped, truly unable to come up with any words.
Shane nodded as he took another sip, "Nicky you have wonderful taste, but now really, how much is that bottle going to cost Rye."
Nicky shook his head, "If I tell you, you will get mad and spoil the enjoyment of it."
"No, I won't get mad. Jill is right. Rye would never be mad and if he knew you were such a fanatic he would have been offering the wine to you himself. It's okay Nicky just tell us, I promise nobody will get mad," Shane said.
Nicky smiled shakily and took another taste of the wine, obviously afraid that his next answer would spoil the wine as it sat in his glass.
He cleared his throat and said, "Around 8."
"Eight thousand," Kian breathed, as he looked at the wine in his glass then smiled and took another taste himself.
"Umm..." Nicky hesitated, "Actually around 8 hundred thousand."
If Nicky had just stood on the table naked and pissed into the flower pots you could not have seen a group of more shocked expressions.
Luckily it was Jill who spoke first, "I love a man with expensive tastes, means I never have to worry about tacky gifts. Remind me to give you the date for my birthday." She laughed and took another taste of the wine, leaving behind small flecks of gold on her lips that caught the light.
Everyone laughed at this and Bryan took another taste as well. Nicky looked at Shane with something like fear in his eyes. Shane returned his look and then broke into a smile as he raised his glass to the table, quickly followed by everyone else.
"I want to propose a toast to our incredible host who, due to more pressing engagements, cannot be with us tonight. I am sure he has more important things on his mind than a million dollar bottle of wine. And to his fella which is keeping him from us tonight."
Slight chuckles all around.
"To Rye and Mark, whose love encompasses and includes us all. I wish them the happiness they deserve and swear to do all in my power to see that it never diminishes or fades."
Five glasses touched as they all responded, "To Rye and Mark." They all drank deeply.
All of them now had lips that sparkled in the lights, and all felt a little giddy, not from the alcohol but rather from the feeling of friendship that surrounded them.
"Hey Jill what's friends and family night?" Bryan asked.
Jill's eyes brightened, "Oh you guys are gonna love it. We don't do it very often but when we do it's fabulous." Jill was almost gushing now. "Everyone at the restaurant gathers in Rye's loft and we have a big party. We dance and laugh and eat and drink. But the best part is everyone has to perform. Although I don't know if Rye will ask you guys to do it. You can pick what you want to do, you can sing, dance, read a poem, do a skit whatever."
Jill was very excited and was talking fast, almost babbling, "Last time me and Dave dressed up as Sonny and Cher and lip-synced to I Got You Babe, the funny thing was that I was Sonny and he was Cher. It was so funny. And this one time, Matt, the big bouncer with the tattoo on his hand, he came in with a ventriliquist's dummy and did this really funny skit. And Maria out front, she sings opera."
"Sounds like a blast," Nicky smiled, "What does Rye do?"
Jill lost a little of her smile, "He doesn't perform, but he does MC. He can be so funny sometimes, and he really enjoys the shows. When Matt did his ventriliquism thing Rye almost pee'd himself. Matt can't do it without moving his lips, but the skit was so funny."
The guys sat around and listened and talked about all kinds of things. But more often than not the conversation always turned back around and they found themselves talking about Rye. They had managed to convince Jill to tell them about some of Rye's most embarrassing moments. They found out his likes and dislikes. Nobody ever mentioned the troubled times. Eventually they got around to discussing what they all might do for the friends and family night. Everyone was excited when they had figured out their little lip-sync act and they would laugh out loud all through the night at the thought of what they were going to do.
Dinner continued and soon they were all on the dance floor. Jill taking a turn with each of them, although more and more it was just her and Kian and the others were left to find a willing partner, which wasn't really all that hard.
At one point while they were all sitting down at their table again resting, Kian said, "Any ideas what we wanna do tomorrow?"
"You guys like golf?" Jill asked.
Three faces lit up and three voices all said, "Yes."
Jill laughed merrily, "We could go to Rye's golf club and play a round."
"We don't have any clubs with us," Shane said.
"The club will give us some to use. It's better in the morning, maybe we could leave around 7:30?" Jill suggested.
"Sounds like a plan," Nicky said.
"Guys?" Bryan whined, "What am I gonna do?"
"Byran hates golf," Shane explained.
"That's okay you could stay here and do something with Rye. He hates golf too and I imagine Mark will stay with Rye. The three of you could go to the track or the open air market or something." Jill suggested.
"Rye hates golf?" Kian asked, "Then why is he a member?"
"He's not. When I said Rye's golf club I meant it's his. He owns it."
The guys eyes all opened wide. They all knew Rye had money. A lot of money. Really, a whole lot. Only Shane had the real numbers but even what the rest of the boys knew was enough. Yet when they were with him it was easy to forget about it. He never brought it up and it just played so small a part in his life. It's true his loft was enormous and beautiful, but it was just home. All the guys got a distant look in their eyes as they contemplated the same thought. Home. It probably also entered their minds the oddity of calling the loft of a man they had known for only a couple of days home. Soon though they all came back to the moment.
"I am exhausted, think we could call it a night," Shane looked at his watch, "It's almost one, I think it should be safe."
- Love Me Tender -
Finally it was just Rye and Mark. They sat beside each other for a long time, just holding each other tenderly.
"You know we don't have to do this if you aren't ready," Rye whispered. There was no reason to whisper but the moment seemed to call for it.
"No I want to, I am just really nervous," Mark whispered back then looked at Rye, "Unless you aren't ready, I don't want to force you."
Rye shook his head and kissed Mark gently, "I am ready, but I will let you in on a secret. I am nervous too. See."
Rye held up his hand which was shaking. Mark took Rye's hand in his own and stood. He moved towards the stairs that led to their bed, gently leading Rye by the hand. Both men were obviously excited but neither seemed to be rushing. They climbed the stairs and moved to the bed but remained standing.
Rye reached his hands up to Mark's face and gently stroked a finger along his cheek. Mark shivered with delight and goosebumps rose along his neck.
"I love the way you react when I touch you," Rye whispered.
"I love the way you touch me."
Rye leaned in and kissed Mark, their tongues finding each other and tasting each other deeply. The kiss broke and Mark looked into Rye's eyes and saw the love and caring there.
"Rye, just say stop and we will stop whatever we are doing. Neither of us should feel pressured or uncomfortable okay?"
"Of course, I would never want you to feel uncomfortable."
"Not just me Rye. Shane said that he thought you might go beyond what you are comfortable with just so that you could please me." Mark watched Rye's eyes and saw that it was true.
"Rye you can't. This is not about you and it's not about me. It's about us. You are not going to hurt my feelings or make me love you less if you say to stop. In fact I would be devastated if we did something and I found out that you didn't want to or only did it because you thought I wanted you to."
Rye blinked back a tear but nodded.
Mark continued, "I love you so very much and it would be enough for me just to be able to hold you for the rest of our lives. Swear to me now that we will both abide by the rules and that you are completely sure that you want to continue."
"I swear it my love. I do swear it." Rye promised with a kiss.
Mark smiled and brushed his lips across Rye's then continued to kiss him down his neck. He stopped and moved his hands to the waist of Rye's t-shirt and began to lift it off of Rye.
Suddenly Rye stopped him. Mark stopped immediately but Rye just smiled. "I should have done this earlier I guess, it's going to be a bit of a shock for you okay?"
Mark nodded and watched as Rye peeled his shirt off. Suddenly Mark's eyes went wide then filled with tears as he saw the scar of a bullet hole just above Rye's left nipple.
"It's okay Mark. It doesn't hurt, not physically, and not nearly as much emotionally anymore, thanks to you and the guys."
Mark reached out and gently ran his fingers across the scar. He moved his lips down and gently touched them against the scar. Rye shivered slightly. Mark then continued down and pressed his lips against his nipple. Then he did it again but ended by slightly sucking on the quickly hardening nipple. Rye moved his hand to move through Mark's hair as he continued to suck and tease the nipple. Then Mark moved to the right nipple and gave it the same attention. Rye let a soft moan escape his lips.
Mark stood back and quickly pulled his own shirt over his head then pulled Rye down onto the bed and lay on top of him, kissing him first on the lips then moving down again to his nipple. Mark could feel Rye's erection beneath him and he himself was so hard it was almost painful.
"Rye?" he breathed.
Rye opened his eyes and looked at Mark, the desire evident in his eyes.
"I think we should do it real quick to release some of this energy then we could do it again more slowly," Mark suggested.
Rye nodded once.
Mark quickly rolled off Rye and lifted his legs into the air as he pulled off his pants. He turned and quickly did the same to Rye. He gazed longingly at Rye's hard cock. It lay along his belly sticking straight up to his navel. His own cock stuck almost straight up as well. Both men were breathing heavily as Mark pulled Rye to him so that they lay on their sides. They ground their hardened cocks against each other and frantically moved their hands over each others bodies, their legs entwined and rubbing together as well. Their mouths were pressed together tightly and they breathed as if they were one person. Their movements picked up as their bodies responded to the passion. Suddenly they both moaned into each other as they released at the same time. They lay there panting for several minutes before Mark slowly unwound from Rye and leaned over and grabbed a pair of underwear. He gently cleaned them both off and then threw the sticky underwear on the floor. Holding each other for several minutes they basked in the warmth and glow of their love.
"Ready to do it again?" Rye asked after their breathing had evened out and their cocks were full again.
Mark looked down at their hardened cocks and smiled. "Looks like we both are. I think we can take our time about it this time though."
Rye smiled and pushed Mark onto his back and gently started teasing Mark's nipples with his tongue. He had loved the feel of Mark doing this to him and wanted to return the favor.
Mark responded immediately, his nipples hardening at the first touch of Rye's lips. Rye spent some time on each, making Mark very excited. He started moving down Mark's body. He would kiss and suck on Mark's stomach then give a quick bite, then do it again a little lower. Mark was breathing heavily and squirming with desire under Rye. Rye worked his way down to Marks navel. He stuck his tongue into the belly button and then flicked it in and out rapidly several times. Mark moaned and actually arched his back in delight.
Rye stopped and looked at Mark. Mark immediately realized the pleasure had stopped and he looked down at Rye. Rye smiled, and locked eyes with Mark. Mark stared deeply into Rye's eyes and watched as Rye placed his hand onto Mark's hard cock then flicked his tongue over the head of it. Mark gasped but never broke eye contact with Rye. Rye smiled and this time he kissed the cock of his lover. Rye felt the shiver of pleasure run through Mark's body. This time Rye placed his tongue at the bottom of Mark's shaft and licked up the entire shaft, when he got to the top he placed his lips around the head and went back down onto it, taking the cock into his mouth.
"Oh Rye, I am not gonna be able to hold off very long. Please make me cum."
Rye obeyed immediately and increased the suction and moved his lips quickly over the head of Mark's cock. Mark threw his hands out to his side and moaned loudly once, twice then his body tensed as he released into the waiting mouth of his lover. Rye swallowed several times as Mark shot his load into Rye's mouth. Finally Mark collapsed and Rye moved up to kiss him gently.
"How was that my love?" Rye asked.
"I could go to heaven now and demand to be sent back as long as I knew you would be here to do that to me again."
"I'm glad I made you happy."
"Now my turn." Mark almost growled as he put Rye on his back and moved down his body. He did not start with the foreplay as Rye had. Rye was already aroused and Mark was not in the mood. He wanted to taste Rye now.
Mark licked around the head of Rye's cock several times, eliciting several moans from Rye. Mark then opened his mouth and took Rye down in one swallow. Mark was a little surprised but nowhere near as surprised as Rye. Rye had a 7 inch cock and it was now buried in Mark's throat. Mark had a moment to be proud of his feat before lust overtook him and he started to suck on his lover's hard cock with almost an animal frenzy. He could hear Rye moaning with intense pleasure and he himself was becoming aroused again.
"Mark I'm gonna cum soon," Rye breathed.
Moments later Rye's body tensed as a long stream of cum hit the back of Mark's throat. Mark swallowed and pulled back as several smaller streams filled his mouth. He tasted the cum and moaned. His senses were on fire and his body reacted. As Rye's body tensed one last time and shot his last load into Mark's waiting mouth, Mark shot two quick times and cum splashed out onto Rye's leg.
Mark pulled off of Rye's cock and smiled at his lover's look of joy. He looked down at the cum on Rye's leg and bent down to lick his own cum off of Rye. When he had finished he moved up and curled up with Rye.
"That was beyond words," Mark said
"I agree."
They lay there together for a long time. Mark slowly raised his head and looked into Rye's eyes. There was a question he wanted to ask but he wasn't sure how to ask it.
"Go ahead, don't worry about it, just ask," Rye said softly.
"This that we did tonight?" Mark said.
Rye just nodded, waiting for Mark to continue.
"Are we going to share this with the others?" Mark asked uncertainly.
Rye closed his eyes and thought about it. When he opened them he saw Mark looking at him intently.
"I think we can Mark. I would like to. As long as you are okay with it. But..." Rye hesitated
Mark nodded. "On tour only what we did before. This new stuff is only when we are together."
Rye nodded, glad that they were thinking the same way. The cuddling, kissing and rubbing that happened between the guys on tour was alright, it was just sex. This new stuff was more personal, more passionate, there was more to it and he wanted to be sure that it only happened when the two of them were together to share with the others. It made his heart flutter to think that Mark felt the same way.
Mark leaned in and whispered sexily, "One more time before the guys get back?" It was asked as a question but there was only one right answer.
Rye smiled and then shifted himself quickly into a 69 position. Mark looked surprised but his surprise was quickly replaced with desire as his once again hard cock was taken into the hot mouth of his lover. He quickly returned the favor and soon the two men were writhing in passion. It was not long before they once again tasted each other's cum. They separated and lay in that position for a few minutes before getting up and getting dressed in sweats and tees and heading downstairs with their hands entwined.
