The Naked Surfer Chapter 11 by John Josept
Chase and Daniel sat on the overstuffed chair with their arms around their naked bodies. Daniel wondered if the threesome they had with Charlie the night before was the right thing. Chase knew Charlie better than Daniel and he felt Charlie would be ok. But Daniel just knew that Charlie was hurt and distressed after it was all said and done.
Chase realized Daniel was upset, because when he reached for Daniel's usual morning erection, all he got was a handful of soft, fleshy penis. He felt Daniel was on the verge of a deep depression over Charlie and knew he had to do something before it got too bad.
"Ok, go put on a pair of shorts, no underwear, no shirt and let's go," Chase said as he got up out of the chair and pulled at Daniel's arm.
"Oh Chase, I don't feel like going anywhere right now," Daniel said, as he pulled himself out of Chase's grasp and settled back into the cushy chair. Daniel was a bit annoyed at Chase's lack of compassion.
"Come on, let's go," Chase said with a smile. He pulled on Daniel's arm until he got up from the chair.
"We're we going?"
"You'll see when we get there, now go put on those shorts and remember no underwear and no shirt." Chase said as he ran down the stairs and went to the kitchen. He got his old cooler off the top of the fridge put in a six pack of beer and covered it in ice from the freezer.
He went to the linen closet and grabbed a big blanket and a couple towels. He put them on the sofa and ran back up stairs to the bedroom. Daniel had his shorts on but lay on the bed on his back with his arms spread out over his head. Daniel's shorts had ridden down and exposed his pubic hairs. Chase stopped in his tracks at the site of Daniel sexy body. Chase lay naked on top of him and kissed his lips. He felt Daniel's morning erection finally rise. He ground his hips into Daniel's.
"Hmmm now that's the Daniel I was waiting for," Chase said as he felt Daniel's hard-on rub against him, "but, get your ass up cause we are going on a little trip." Chase climbed off his lover and stood over him. He couldn't hide the fact that his dick was hard.
"I would rather stay here and you could fuck me with that thing" Daniel said as he referred to Chase cock, "my ass is feeling much better today."
"Tempting, but nope, get up, babe," Chase said as he put on his shorts. His hard dick tented the crotch. Those were the same boardshorts Chase wore when he first made love to Daniel. This brought back the memory of that day to Daniel and he smiled. He loved how Chase looked in those shorts.
He got up from the bed, grabbed his lover and kissed him. His dick was hard now and he thought it best to cool down if they were going somewhere.
"Where are we going," Daniel asked again, as he tried to change the subject.
"You will know when we get there," Chase said. He wanted to surprise Daniel, so he tried to be as mysterious as possible.
They kissed one more time and walked down the stairs. Chase handed Daniel the blanket and towels; he took the cooler and they walked out the door and into Chase's van. Daniel sat on the passenger side and wondered where Chase was about to take him. Chase went around to the back of the house, got his surfboard and put it in the back of the van. He climbed into the drivers seat, put a Dave Koz, smooth jazz CD in the CD player and they took off.
"This van has never run so good Daniel, thanks for taking care of that for me," Chase said as he drove down Hermosa Avenue toward Pacific Coast Highway.
Daniel didn't say anything he just looked at his lover, reached over and tussles his blonde hair and smiled. Daniel wasn't really in the mood to talk, but he knew Chase was excited about where they were headed and he was just along for the ride.
"Let's pull into Mickey D's and get something to eat on the way." Chase said as he turned the van toward the drive thru window of a nearby McDonald's. They each got a couple McGriddle sandwiches and some coffee and continued down the highway.
After they finished their quick breakfast, Chase asked, "How about us having one of those beers?"
"Chase, it's not even 8 o'clock in the morning."
"So, what's your point," Chase said with a smile.
"You're crazy, you know that?" Daniel said as he grabbed the cooler and took out two beers. He figured he was just as crazy as Chase.
"Yeah, I know, crazy for you," Chase said with a grin on his face, as he reached over and pinched Daniel's nipple.
"Come on, snap out of it," Daniel said to himself, "just relax and enjoy being with Chase, where ever he is taking us."
Daniel fought off his insecurities again that told him he and Chase had hurt Charlie and they shouldn't be out having fun while their friend is so upset.
"He's going to be ok, Daniel, I swear," Chase said as if he read Daniel's mind.
"I guess you're right," Daniel said. He took a swig of his beer. He looked over at his lover and grabbed his right tit and squeezed it.
"Ouch," Chase yelled. They both laughed.
"You going to tell me where we're going?" Daniel asked once again.
"Nope!" Chase replied and glanced at his lover with a huge grin as he continued to drive south. They took Pacific Coast Highway instead of the freeway and passed through the many beach towns along the way ... Long Beach, Seal Beach, Newport Beach and of course, the disputed original Surf City, Huntington Beach. Daniel had been down this way countless times, but never really paid attention to what was out there. This time, he marveled at the beauty of the place. He saw the ocean and the Huntington Beach Pier for the first time. "Damn," Daniel thought to himself, "how did I miss all of this in the past?"
About half hour out of Huntington Beach, they drove into Laguna Beach, Orange County's Gay Mecca. Many establishments flew the gay colors outside their stores. From bookstores to restaurants, to gift shops and everything in between, the gay flag flew proudly. They also passed the many art galleries the Laguna Beach Art Colony is famous for.
"Hey, maybe our 'shit' will be shown at one of the galleries someday, Daniel," Chase said as a joke, but as he thought about it, he realized it could happen.
"There's the Boom Boom Room," Chase said to Daniel, as he pointed to the gay club that was known all over California.
"Someday we will have to drive down here and go dancing."
"I don't know how to dance," Daniel said sadly.
"Hell, neither can I, but we can fake it!"
They both laughed as the Boom Boom Room slipped behind them.
They just left the Laguna Beach City limits, when Chase started to slow down.
"We there?" Daniel asked.
"Just about," Chase said as he turned off of Coast Highway onto what looked like a private dirt road. There was a chain across the road with a sign that said, Private Property, No Trespassing, but Chase just drove off the road and around the barricade.
"Chase, are we doing something illegal?"
"I know the guy who owns this property, He's one of my..."
"Surf buddies," Daniel interrupted, finishing Chase's sentence, "is everyone a surf buddy of yours?"
Chase looked over at Daniel, "Only the ones that count," He replied with a chuckle as he drove down the bumpy dirt road that ended near a cliff.
Chase stopped the van and got out. Daniel followed.
"Wow, this is beautiful," Daniel said, "This is your secret beach, isn't it?"
"Yep, sure is."
Daniel stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down at the pristine beach with its undisturbed white sand and perfect shoreline. Chase went up to Daniel and put his arm around his waist. This was his secret private beach and he wanted to share it with his lover.
"Come on there's a path down to the beach over here," Chase said.
Daniel took the cooler, blanket and towels. Chase took his surfboard from the van. They found the steep path and in just a few minutes they were on the beach. The waves looked good and Chase wanted to get out in the water and take a ride, but he had something he wanted to do first.
Daniel put the cooler down and took the blanket and spread it out on the warm sand. Chase stuck his board upright in the sand next to the blanket. Chase took Daniel in his arms and kissed him.
Daniel got a little apprehensive about being in the open like they were. Chase felt Daniel tense up.
"Don't worry Daniel, its very private here," Chase said.
Chase kissed Daniel again and, while their lips were still locked together, he ran his hands down Daniel's stomach to his shorts and unbuttoned them, letting them fall to the sand. He did the same to his own shorts. Both young men's erections poked each other in their abs.
Chase broke from Daniel's embrace, went to the cooler and took out two more beers. He twisted the tops off and gave one to Daniel. Chase sat on the blanket and pat his hand on the spot next to him as an invitation for Daniel to join him. Daniel knelt down next to his lover. Their erections were still hard and pointed at each other.
"This is a beautiful spot Chase, so secluded. I feel very comfortable being naked here. But then I would feel comfortable being naked with you anywhere," he leaned in and kissed his lover. "How do you keep this place a secret?"
"I'm glad you like it Daniel. It's private property, no one knows of this place except me, and now you, and of course, my surf buddy who owns this property. I haven't even told Charlie about it."
"Really?" Daniel said. He loved the fact that he was the only one Chase had told.
"I always dreamed of building a house at the top of that cliff overlooking this beach," Chase said, as he pointed up the cliff to where he would put his dream home. "Sometimes, after I surf, I would lay in the sand and let the sun warm my body and build the house in my mind. Crazy huh?"
"No not at all, it's good to have a dream and who knows, maybe someday that dream will come true."
They took another swig of their beers and began to stare at each other. Their dicks still pointed straight up in the air. Chase put his beer down in the sand and took Daniel's head in his hands and kissed his lips, then prompted Daniel to lay down on his back. Chase then leaned down and ran his tongue around the tip of Daniel's fully engorged member. Daniel took a deep breath as Chase swallowed his cock completely. Chase removed his mouth from Daniel's manhood and held it in his hand, grabbed his beer and started to pour some of the brew on Daniels cock. Daniel jumped as the cold liquid ran down his shaft, into his pubic hairs and down his balls. Chase's mouth warmed Daniel's dick as he devoured it, again.
"Oh fuck babe," Daniel said as he looked at Chase with his dick in his mouth. Chase poured more beer on Daniel's manhood and licked the beer from his shaft, pubes and balls.
Chase let go of Daniel's dick, moved up, kissed his lips and laid down on his back. Daniel knew what he wanted and got in between Chase's legs and hovered his body over his lover, and let his tongue touch Chase's nipple. With the exception of his rigid member which touched Chase's thigh, the rest of his body stayed just inches over him. Daniel dragged his tongue down past Chase's hard stomach and directly to his hard peter and then swallowed it.
"Oh yeah, make me real hard Daniel, I'm going to fuck you right here on this beach," Chase said as he guided Daniel's head with his hands.
Daniel pumped harder on Chase's dick. Up and down his lips coated Chase's cock with his saliva. Chase felt he was about to cum and pulled his dick from Daniel's mouth. They both knelt on the blanket and embraced and kissed fast and furious, the taste of beer and precum lingered on their lips.
Chase laid Daniel down on his back and lay on top of him. He spread his legs with his knees, then licked Daniel's lips with his tongue really fast and smiled.
"I'm going to fuck you now," Chase said as he reached for his shorts and took out a small tube of lube.
"I guess you had this planned," Daniel said when he noticed the small tube of lube. Chase smiled and knelt again in between his lover's legs and squirted the lube on his hard and throbbing rod. He looked at his lover, as he lay there with his legs spread open for him. Chase's cock spasmed at the sight.
Daniel lifted his legs on top of Chase's shoulders and Chase leaned in to his lover's hole and pressed hard as it begged for entry. Daniel's muscle opened up eagerly and allowed Chase to come in.
"Oh Fuck!" they both said at the same time. Daniel's eyes rolled up into his head when he felt the full charge of his lover's electricity as it shot into his body.
Chase let Daniel's legs fall from his shoulders and he lay on top of him and they kissed while Chase's dick just sat inside Daniel's hole.
Chase hips started to pump in and out and let his cock massage Daniel's prostate.
"Oh Chase... goddamn," Daniel yelled out.
Chase moved up over Daniel and supported his body by his hands as if he was about to do pushup over him. This gave Chase better leverage to move in and out of Daniel's ass.
Chase pulled his cock out of Daniel's rosebud and then plunged it back in.
"Oh fuck," Daniel said in ecstasy. Chase did it again with the same response from Daniel.
Daniel's dick was hard and dripped precum all over his body, as Chase pumped his ass. Daniel was lost in the moment, he didn't see the sun shine on their naked bodies or hear the waves crash on the shore or feel the wind blow over the sand. All there was on earth was he and Chase, coupled together in adoration; their bodies soared above the clouds. The only thing he felt was Chase inside him in the ultimate act of Love
"Oh Daniel, I'm going to cum," Chase said which brought Daniel down to earth.
"Me too babe, go, cum inside me," Daniel whispered as he felt his own orgasm creep up through his ballsack and up out his hard manhood. It sprayed all over his chest and stomach. "Oh Fuck Chase!" Daniel yelled
"AHHHHHHHH SHIT!" Chase screamed as his first lob of cum shot into Daniel's ass. "Oh God, Daniel," Chase said as he let loose his load.
Both men were just about spent and Chase collapsed onto Daniel's usual cum coated chest. Daniel put his arms around his lover as he felt the sun on his body and heard the surf hit the beach and the wind whiz across the sand.
When they got their breath back, Chase lift his head and slowly kissed Daniel as they let their tongues take one last ride inside each other mouths. Chase rolled off of Daniel and lay on his side as he supported his head in his hand. Daniel looked into his lover's blue eyes and was overcome with love. He then noticed Chase stared at him, too. He saw a tear slide down Chase's cheek. "What is it babe, you ok?" Daniel said.
"Hmm nothing, just thanking God that I had met you."
Chase leaned into Daniel and kissed him. It looked to Daniel like Chase held back tears.
"Fuck, I'm supposed to be Chase Bell, the hard ass, the wild man who doesn't care about anything or anyone. I'm not supposed to be sentimental or cry like a goddamn baby," Chase sat up, "but I love you so fucking much Daniel. I just hope you know that."
"I do babe, I know what you are feeling," Daniel said. His heart was filled with love. He took Chase in his arms and held him tight as the sun beat down on their bodies. Chase's arm wrapped around Daniel. He didn't want to let go. He never expressed his feelings like this for anyone, but he had to do it for the man he loved.
Chase took a deep breath, and got himself under control. He wiped his eyes and rubbed his finger under his nose.
"We better go rinse this cum off of us in the water and then I want to catch a few of those waves."
Chase got up and held out his hand to help Daniel get up, then they walked hand in hand to the shore and into the water. Both men dived head first into a wave and swam around and jumped and played a game of naked surf tag. Daniel tried to walk away but Chase tackled him in the surf and they rolled around in the water as the waves crashed into the shore. Daniel tackled Chase one more time and landed on top of him. They kissed as the waves hurtled into their bodies then washed back out to sea, only to have another wave engulf them as they clung to each other.
Chase stood up, grabbed Daniel's hand and led Daniel back to the blanket.
"I'm going to surf for a while Daniel," he said, "you going to be ok here by yourself?"
"Yeah I'm a big boy now. I think I can handle it, besides I'll work on my all over tan while you are out there," they both laughed then kissed again. Chase grabbed his board and headed out to the water. Daniel dried himself with one of the towels they brought while he stared at Chase as he and his board crashed over the waves.
It wasn't long before Chase caught his first wave and Daniel marveled at his surfing skills. This was the first time he watched Chase surf and he could tell he was in his element. It was obvious he loved the ocean and he loved to surf.
Daniel got up from the blanket and walked closer to the shore so he could get a better look at Chase's naked body crouched down on his board as he surfed a higher than normal wave. Then it came to him. This is what The Naked Surfer should really be about. He wished he had brought a sketchpad but he knew this image of Chase surfing would be engrained on his mind forever. This is how he would sculpt Chase, naked as he rode a giant wave.
About an hour later, Chase came out of the water with his board under his arm. A big grin was spread across his face.
"Shit, those waves were fucking amazing! Did you see me Daniel, did you see how big those fucking waves were?" Chase said, not holding back a bit of his enthusiasm.
"I saw babe and you looked fantastic!"
Chase started to shiver from the cool breeze that blew over his wet body. His nipples were hard and white. Daniel took a towel and wrapped it around his lover and dried his body while Chase, talked in detail about nearly every wave he caught. Daniel didn't think Chase was aware that he had dried him off.
Chase caught himself as he rambled, then stopped, "Sorry Daniel, I didn't mean to go on and on like that."
"I don't mind, I kinda like seeing you excited about this. You did look fantastic out there."
"Well, besides surfing, only you and photography get me going like this." He put his arms around Daniel and kissed him, "and only you give me a hard-on." They both laughed and held each other's naked body closer.
"I'm glad you're here with me, Daniel," Chase said as they kissed again. "We better get back to Hermosa, I have to work on getting those pictures of you for Chelsea by Friday remember."
Daniel kissed his lover and wanted to protest once again, the use of those pictures, but he already told Chase he could use them and he didn't want to go back on his word. He just hoped that the pictures wouldn't ruin Chase's chance for success.
Daniel was about to put on his shorts for the drive home when Chase said with a shy grin, "You know, when I come here surfing I usually drive home naked."
"I don't know Chase, do you think it would be safe? I mean what if someone saw us."
"Oh fuck'em, it really feels good, Daniel. Besides, the van is higher then most cars, so nothing to worry about. I'll make a nudist out of you yet."
Daniel's insecurities told him not to do it, but he felt so free being naked he figured he would go along with it. "Well ok, but I may get a hard-on you know," Daniel joked.
"If you do, I will take care of it, dear," Chase said and winked at his lover. They both laughed.
They gathered up their things that included the empty beer bottles, got into the van and headed up north to Hermosa Beach. Both men were satisfied on how the day had turned out so far.
"Thanks babe, for taking me to your private beach," Daniel said as they sped up Pacific Coast Highway.
"Well it's now our private beach and we should go back down there in a week or so," Chase said, "I want you to have that all over tan like I do, especially when I take more pictures of you." Chase laughed out loud.
"Hmmm, maybe if we go on a weekend, remember we still need to work. We are not rich and famous yet," Daniel laughed, trying to make a joke but he felt that his dream would really not come true. "They very seldom do, but then look at what happened since Chase and I met," Daniel said to himself, "could my luck be changing for real this time?"
Daniel got the last two beers from the cooler and gave one to Chase and he took the other. They drank in silence and enjoyed the freedom of being naked as they listened to the jazz sounds on the radio. Daniel wanted contact with his lover so he put his hand on Chase's bare thigh.
"You're giving me a hard-on, you know," Chase said.
Daniel looked over at his partner and sure enough, his dick pointed straight up. This made Daniel's dick get hard too.
"Looks like we are both in the same condition," Chase said as they came to a stoplight. They started to laugh at their situation, when a big eighteen-wheel truck pulled up next to them. The cab of the truck was much higher than the van that gave the driver a clear view of Daniel's hard-on.
"Phewww, boy, that's one pretty cock you got there," the driver yelled to Daniel.
Chase, felt a bit on the wild side, leaned over to Daniel and grabbed his dick and yelled out the window to the driver.
"Yeah sure is, and he's all mine," Chase laughed and licked Daniel's rigid member.
Daniel was red as a beet as the light changed to green. Chase floored the van and they sped away, but he didn't remove his hand from Daniel's dick. Instead he continued to masturbate his partner.
"Oh fuck, Chase, this is wild." Daniel knew this was wrong but it felt so damn good. He didn't let any of his insecurities stop him from doing this crazy, wild thing, his adrenalin pumped too fast.
"Feels great, huh babe?" Chase said as he increased his speed on Daniel's cock. Daniel couldn't believe how fantastic it felt to be riding down the rode naked, with his partner jacking him off.
"Easy Chase or I'll cum," Daniel said.
"Don't worry, if you cum babe, this front seat has seen a lot of my sperm. I usually beat off when I drive home from my beach and I let it fly. I have given one or two truck drivers a good show a few times. Now, it's your turn." Chase increased the speed on Daniel's cock when they came to another stoplight. This gave Chase a better grip on Daniel's manhood.
"Oh fuck, Chase, I'm going to cum," Daniel said as his first spurt shot in the air and landed on the dashboard just as the same truck driver pulled up next to them. Daniel dick let loose of more spunk and then dribbled down on Chase's hand.
"Holy shit, looky there," the truck driver yelled as he caught Daniel's cum shoot from his rigid pole. Chase leaned over to Daniel again and showed the truck driver his hand covered in Daniel's cum. He began to lick it, then he put Daniel's still hard dick in his mouth.
"Oh Damn! Hey boys, pull over I can use a good blow job."
The light changed just in time and Chase sped away again, and laughed uncontrollably. Daniel on the other hand was embarrassed beyond words. The truck driver honked his horn over and over because he hoped they would pull over, but and sound faded the further away Chase drove the van.
"I can't believe we just did that," Daniel said, he didn't know if he should laugh or cry. He was excited but didn't know why.
Chase glanced over at Daniel and saw his strange expression.
"Hey babe, I'm sorry, you ok? I just thought it would be fun to tease those truckers, they're always horny."
"Yeah, I'm ok, it's just I never did anything like this before."
"Fun wasn't it, come on admit it."
Daniel put his head down and scooped up some of his cum that landed on his body and fed it to Chase. Chase smacked his lips.
"Yeah, that really was fucking fantastic. I was so pumped up!" Daniel started to giggle then he laughed outloud, "but I am not sure I would want to do that again." The both laughed long and hard.
"Well we will see," Chase said and tweaked Daniel's nipple.
It was about three in the afternoon, when they pulled up into their driveway just as they saw Charlie walk down The Strand toward their house. They scrambled to put their shorts back on, got out of the van and reached the front door just as Charlie approached.
"Hey Charlie," Chase said.
"Hey, Chase, Hey Daniel," Charlie said with a big smile.
"Hey, Charlie," Daniel said quietly. He didn't want to look Charlie in the eyes as they all walked into the living room. Charlie put his arms around Chase and kissed him on the lips. He did the same thing to an astonished Daniel.
"I can't stay long, I just wanted to come by and say hi and thank you guys for last night. I know I freaked out, but hell, that was a dream come true for me. I love you both, you make me feel special," Charlie said with a big smile, "you guys are fantastic and Daniel, it was great finally seeing you naked," Charlie laughed again. "And you Chase, what could I say, being fucked by you was something I dreamed about through most of my teenage years. If it happens again, great, if not, well at least we had last night."
Chase went up to Charlie and put his arms around him. "You're the greatest, Charlie. Daniel was so worried about you."
"Really?" Charlie said surprised, as he turned to Daniel, "You were worried about me?"
"Yes, you were so upset last night and you left this morning without a word. I just thought you were hurting," Daniel said. He still couldn't look Charlie in the eyes.
Charlie went up to Daniel and put his arms around him, "I'm ok, Daniel, really, but thanks for caring about me."
"Well, Charlie, I feel like we are friends now, in spite of everything, and I just don't want to hurt you anymore."
Charlie hugged Daniel tighter, lifted up his chin, and kissed him on the lips, "If you hurt me in the past, what you just said took it all away. We are friends, Daniel, especially after last night. Damn you have a hot body and your cum still tastes good. Of course, I swallowed about a gallon."
They all laughed, it was a laugh of relief that three people felt so close and so much love for each other.
"Well I gotta get my ass on out of here before Devin fires me again," Charlie said with a smile. He kissed Daniel and Chase one more time and was out the door.
Chase went up to Daniel and put his arms around him, "See I told you he would be ok."
"I hope so," Daniel said, still very skeptical.
"You're hopeless," Chase laughed.
It was nearly 4PM and they realized they hadn't had anything to eat since their McGriddle early this morning.
"I'm going to go to Scotty's to get us some burgers before I start on those prints."
"Ok, Chase," I will jump into the shower while you're gone."
Chase kissed Daniel, then headed out the door and down The Strand toward their favorite restaurant.
As he got close to Scotty's, he noticed his friend or perhaps his ex-friend Lucas, as they walked toward each other. Chase still felt very bad that he attacked Lucas the way he did. He figured now was as good a time as any to talk with him and try to make things right.
As he approached Lucas, their eyes met and Lucas turned away and was about to walk past Chase, when Chase called out to him.
"Lucas, wait, please."
Reluctantly, Lucas stopped but still did not look Chase in the eye.
"How ya doin, Lucas?" Chase asked softly.
Lucas just grunted.
"Look, I am sorry I lost it like I did yesterday. I was wrong. You are entitled to your opinion I guess, but I just don't like that word."
"Well, that was the only word I could come up with at that time," Lucas said indifferently.
"I don't want to loose you as a friend, Lucas. We've known each other too long to let something like this spoil our friendship."
"You fucking lied to me all these years, Chase. That is what really has me pissed off."
"I was lying to myself Lucas. How could I not lie to my friends? I was an idiot."
"I don't know if I could still be your friend anymore, Chase. I would feel so uncomfortable now that you're gay."
"Lucas, I was gay since we first met. I don't have control over it. I was born that way."
"Oh Bullshit, I saw you fuck women, you didn't look gay to me then. It was that guy Daniel that made you this way, wasn't it. He did something to you to change you, didn't he? What was it Chase?"
"Don't be such an asshole, Lucas."
"Who the fuck are you calling an asshole, you fucking fa..." Lucas stopped what he was about to say and bit his lip.
They both stood there staring at each other. If they paid attention to what went on around them, they would have noticed that four guys, who usually surfed at a rival beach, listened in on their conversation. They came to Hermosa to start trouble.
"Faggot, the word is faggot, Lucas," Darryl, one of the four, said.
Chase and Lucas turned toward where these guys stood. Chase's blood began to boil.
"Well, look what we have here, it's Chase the faggot. You turned faggot too, Lucas?" Word traveled fast down The Strand.
"Fuck you, Darryl. Take off, this is between me and Chase."
"Get the fuck off our beach, asshole," Chase said.
The four guys came closer to Chase and Lucas.
Lucas leaned into Chase and said, "We can take these guys with our eyes closed."
"I'll take those two," Chase said as he pointed to the two guys on the left, "and you take the other two."
"Piece of cake," Lucas said just as the four stepped into them. Chase clinched his fist and swung at one of the four and smashed into his jaw. Lucas on the other hand, hit one in the stomach and the guy doubled over, then Lucas gave him an upper cut in the face and the guy landed on his butt. Another guy swung at Chase and he ducked out of the way, and he punched him in the stomach, but one of the others swung at Lucas and connected just below his right eye. Lucas didn't feel it though; his adrenalin pumped too fast.
Fists started to swing wildly just as the Hermosa Beach Police Strand Patrol, rode up on their bicycles and yelled at the guys as they fought. The four troublemakers started to run away but darted right into the police who approached from the other direction.
"Donnie!" Chase said to his policeman friend.
"What's going on here Chase? This isn't like you and Lucas to get into a fight on The Strand."
"They jumped us Donnie," Lucas said, "Chase and me was discussing life, when they came from behind." Lucas exaggerated, just a bit.
"Yeah, I heard what went down between you two, yesterday. Seems to be the talk of The Strand, today. Chase we need to talk sometime."
"Sure, Donnie," Chase said. He figure Donnie would say the same thing everyone else said about how many women they saw him fuck and that he couldn't be gay.
Donnie asked them a few more questions about the fight. He stared at Chase with a suppressed smile. Chase felt like Donnie tired to convey something to him but he didn't get it at first. Donnie was finished with his questions and was satisfied with their answers. He then sent them on their way.
As they walked down The Strand, Chase all of a sudden realized what happened between him and Lucas. Lucas came to his defense. Lucas was still part of the group and no matter how they disagreed, they will always have each other's back. They were still friends.
"Thanks, Lucas, that meant a lot to me. I mean what you just did."
"I guess we are buds, but that doesn't mean I like what you have become. It just means we are buds and that it."
Chase looked at Lucas and noticed a cut below his eye. "Did one of those assholes connect with a punch?"
Lucas felt the sting for the first time. "Yeah I guess they did."
"Come on, let's get some burgers and take them back to my place. Daniel will take care of that cut for you."
"Daniel? Why would I want him to touch me?" Lucas said, then caught himself. Chase ignored the remark.
"Cause Daniel had lots of practice taking care of me when I got beat up. He knows this crap right and left."
"Well, just no funny stuff."
"I will do my best to keep my hands off of you." Chase said with a smile, "I promise," he put his right hand up, then crossed his heart. Lucas smiled back, he realized how stupid he sounded.
They got their burgers and walked back to the house. Chase put their meals on the table and went into the kitchen to get beers, just as a naked Daniel walked down the stairs, drying his hair with a towel.
"That took a long time, babe. What happened did you meet someone on The Strand?"
Daniel still had not noticed that Lucas sat at the table and Chase was in the kitchen.
Daniel turned into the dining room, "Lucas! What the hell are you doing here?" Daniel yelled. Then he realized he was naked and covered himself with the towel.
"Hi Daniel," Lucas said, embarrassed that he caught Daniel in the nude.
Just then Chase walked into the dining room. "Oh hi, babe. I bumped into Lucas on the way to Scotty's. Hey could you do some of your handy work on that cut on Lucas' face. Seems he bumped into a guy's fist on The Strand."
Chase and Lucas began to laugh, but Daniel just stood there and tried to figure out just what happened.
"Uhmm, yeah, let me go upstairs and put some clothes on first," Daniel said as he wrapped the towel around his waist and ran up the stairs. A few minutes later he came down, fully dressed and still puzzled as to what had happened.
"Lucas come into the bathroom," Daniel said.
He told Lucas to sit on the closed toilet seat and got out some of the left over antiseptic and bandages that he used on Chase when he was beaten by his dad.
"Just what the hell happened?"
"We got jumped on The Strand," Lucas whispered, "someone called Chase a faggot and we kicked their asses," Lucas laughed hard. Chase stood at the bathroom door.
"Oh it was nothing hon," Chase winked at Lucas.
"Nothing, you get jumped by some guy and you say its nothing?"
"Guys, there were more than one," Lucas said.
"Yeah maybe about ten of them. We kicked their asses right off the beach."
"Ten, you were attacked by ten people and you say its nothing.
"And what the hell, you and Lucas? Yesterday you were literally at each other's throat now you bosom buddies? I just don't understand you surfers," Daniel joked. He was pleased that things seemed to be ok between Chase and Lucas.
They started to laugh just as Daniel finished with the cut under Lucas' eye.
They went into the dining room and Chase and Lucas explained just what happened over dinner. The code of friendship among the surfers is stronger than any prejudice.
After dinner, Lucas had to leave. He thanked Daniel for the first aid on his eye and Chase walked him to the door.
"Thanks Lucas, you saved my ass out there today."
"We're buds I guess, Chase, that won't change. And a...Daniel's cool."
They clinched their fists and taped them together. Lucas smiled, turned and left out the door.
Daniel went up to Chase and put his arms around him.
"I really am glad this worked out between you and Lucas."
"Yeah, I am too. We been friends a long time," Chase said. He hugged his partner and rested his head on his shoulder. They stood there for a short while enjoying their touch.
"Lucas, said, you're cool." Chase said with his head still on Daniel's shoulder.
"Really?" Daniel said. He felt good that Lucas seemed to like him too.
"Daniel, you remember my surf buddy, Donnie, you know the cop."
"Yeah, the cute guy that day at your dad's house," Daniel smiled.
"Could he be gay? I just got this funny feeling. He kept staring at me for some reason with this knowing smile on his face. He said he wanted to talk with me."
"I guess anyone could be gay, Chase. He sure is too good-looking to be straight," they both laughed and kissed one more time.
"I better get to work on those prints," Chase said, as he broke their embrace. He was on a deadline and he had lots to do yet.
"While, you are doing that I'll go to the gym and workout."
"Hmmm, then you will come home all buffed and hard, huh?" Chase said as he grabbed Daniel in his arms again, and put his hands firmly on Daniel's hard ass.
"Maybe when you come back I will ravage your body and fuck that hot ass of yours." Chase gave Daniel an evil smile.
"Maybe I will be the one to ravage your body, this time," Daniel said, as he grabbed Chase's ass and brought his lips to Chase's mouth and plunged his tongue down his throat, then released it and laughed outloud. Daniel still had fantasies of him doing anal to Chase. Daniel had a big grin on his face as they kissed one more time.
He said goodbye and left for the gym, while Chase went into the computer room. He wondered what Daniel meant by that last remark.
"Could it be Daniel still wanted to fuck me?" Chase said as he sat down at the computer, "would be interesting to try someday." Chase smiled and proceeded with his work.
When Daniel got to the gym, he did his long routine; he wanted to pump up his body, as much has he could for Chase, especially his ass. He wanted to make love to his partner again as soon as he got home. That thought kept Daniel erect in his jockstrap. Fortunately, the jock kept his crotch under control and was not too noticeable.
After Daniel finished his final reps, he looked at himself in the mirrors in the weight room, "I guess its ok," he said to himself, as he nitpicked every flaw, as usual. In reality he got those envious stares from everyone around him in the gym, once again. Even the trainers were green with envy, straight ones as well as the gay ones. Once again, he didn't notice them looking at him.
Daniel figured he should shower there at the gym to be fresh when he got home. As soon as he got to his locker, he stripped down and immediately wrapped his towel around him. He looked around and thought he was the only one in the locker room so it wasn't important that he was semi hard. He walked quickly to one of the shower stalls.
Unknown to Daniel, off in a dark corner was Andy, who watched every move Daniel made. He was still pissed off at Daniel because of his constant rebukes to his advances and how he embarrassed him in front of everyone in the looker room a while back.
He still wanted to fuck Daniel's ass, especially now that it was muscled and hard. He knew he wasn't going to get it unless he just took it. He was overcome with lust for Daniel and followed him to his shower stall. He wanted Daniel one way or another. Andy was used to having his own way and he was tired of waiting, "I'm going to have you my way now," Andy muttered under his breath as he removed his shorts and headed toward Daniel. Andy's dick was hard and pointed the way.
Daniel got into the shower stall and was violently pushed against the wall.
"I'm going to fuck you now, Daniel," Andy said as he pinned Daniel to the wall with his body. Daniel felt Andy's hard cock up against his ass as he was ready to ram it into Daniel's hole. Instead, he turned Daniel around and kissed him on the lips and forced his tongue down his throat. Daniel's eyes opened wide and was briefly stunned by this sudden attack. Andy's dick was hard and pushed up against him. Within a second, Daniel realized what happened and he would not have any part of this. His anger was swift and spontaneous. With strength he didn't realize he had, Daniel pushed Andy off him and slammed him against the shower wall and smashed his head on the tile. Daniel held his forearm up against Andy's throat.
"Look you son-of-a-bitch, what the fuck do you think you're doing?!" Daniel was trying to stay calm and talk low as to not attract attention. "I told you a thousand times I am not interested in you."
Daniel's forearm cut off Andy's air supply and Andy got dizzy and almost passed out, but all this strangely turned Andy on. He liked it rough, to the point where life didn't matter much. As Daniel's muscular naked body pushed up against him, Andy's dick got harder.
"I have a partner who I love deeply," Daniel went on, "and who is waiting at home to fuck me. I have no intention of going with you anywhere, now or in the future. So, if you know what's good for you, you will stay away from me in this gym or so help me I will smash your fucking face in." Daniel put more pressure on Andy's throat, "and don't ever pull this shit on me again, you fucking pervert. And as far as you attacking me in the shower, no way buddy."
With all the force he could muster, Daniel raised each knee, one after the other, fast and hard into Andy's bare crotch. Andy fell to the floor and writhed in agony. With all this pain, Andy still was still sexually aroused.
As Daniel left the shower stall, Andy said as he desperately tried to catch his breath from the pain, "You will regret this you asshole, one way or another I will get even with you."
"Fuck off," Daniel said and proceeded to his locker and quickly got dressed.
When Daniel left the locker room, he stopped one of the managers and looked at his name tag,
"Mitchell, there's a man in one of your shower stalls that tried to attack me. I kneed him in the groin to protect myself and immobilized him, he's probably still on the floor. I am not going to press charges against him or this gym, but I whole-heartedly suggest, you ban him from the premises immediately. In other words, kick his ass out of here for good."
"Yes sir, Mr. Casadini, I will personally take care of it. My apologizes, sir, on behalf of the staff. I will have security escort the man out of the building at once," The cute young manager said.
Daniel was surprised the manager knew his name. He didn't know how much his body was admired by most of the staff at the gym, especially the gay managers like Mitchell.
"Thank you, Mitchell." Daniel said as he left the gym with a smile on his face. He got into his car and headed home. He was happy with himself and how he handled the situation. There was a time he would have just taken it and not stood up for himself. Daniel's smile got bigger as he continued the drive home. He couldn't wait to tell Chase.
"He did what?!" Chase said, as soon as Daniel got home and told him what happened. "That fucking bastard! Did he hurt you, Daniel? Did he?" Chase started to get red in the face with anger.
"No, I hurt him though, I kneed him in his balls, twice, and reported him to the management," Daniel laughed.
"Good for you and I am glad you reported him too," Chase said and started to calm down a bit, "I hope they kick his ass out of that gym."
Chase took Daniel in his arms, "I'm proud you stood up for yourself Daniel. You did the right thing." Chase kissed his lover, "If he would have hurt you, so help me I would have killed the bastard," Chase said as he led Daniel up the stairs to their bedroom.
Chase was in his usual state of undress as he took Daniel in his arms and buried his tongue in the depths of his lover's warm mouth. As they stood next to the bed, Chase took Daniel's tight tee shirt and pulled it over his head.
"Fuck Daniel, look at your body! It's hard and pumped up. It's so...God, it's so fucking amazing," Chase ran his hands over Daniel's arms, chest and 6-pack. His dick got hard and started to drip precum. Daniel's dick was already hard and pulsed inside his gym shorts.
"It's like rubbing a warm granite statue," Chase said breathlessly. He continued to run his hands over Daniel's chest and stomach. With every stroke of his hand on Daniel's body, Chase's dick spasmed. His mouth was open and he found it hard to breathe. He was overcome with passion and his mouth was drawn to Daniel's hard chest and started to suck and lick on his nipple. He bit softly and Daniel jumped and groaned in ecstasy.
Chase licked his way down Daniel's body, feeling his hard muscles against his face, as he did. He got on his knees, pulled Daniel's gym shorts off and with each hand grasped Daniel's hard ass cheeks and swallowed his rigid cock and buried his nose in his pubic hairs. Daniel never did take that shower and Chase took a deep breath and the smell of Daniel's sweaty crotch made his head dizzy, but it also made his dick harder. Chase pumped on Daniel's dick then licked the shaft and down to his balls. He stood up and kissed Daniel firm and hard.
Chase gripped Daniel's upper thighs and flipped him on the bed on his back. His legs were up in the air. Chase grabbed the lube he put under the pillow earlier and coated his dick. Daniel was lying there with his leg spread out. Chase positioned himself and entered Daniel slowly. He was all hard and hot and so was Daniel, and they both knew they would cum sooner than they wanted to. A few long and slow strokes inside Daniel's hard ass was all they needed and were soon ready to shoot their loads.
"Oh fuck," they said in unison, as they both came at the same time, Chase in Daniel's muscled ass and Daniel all over his hard body. They each came at least four or five times. Their orgasms were strong and intense. Chase slowly lowered himself on to Daniel and kissed him. He didn't want to take his dick out of Daniel's ass but as it softened if slowly fell out on its own.
"I guess we were both really horny," Chase laughed.
They lay that way for a few minutes. Daniel loved this part of their love making with the feel of Chase's full weight on his body.
"I'm glad that asshole didn't hurt you Daniel. I don't know what I would have done if he did."
Daniel didn't reply, he just held his lover tighter.
They enjoyed their relaxed bodies for a few minutes more then Daniel asked, "How are you coming with your pictures?" Daniel stroked Chase's hair.
"Daniel, I finished." Chase said as he lift his head from the comfort of Daniel's chest, "I chose them all and I printed the ones in the 16 X 20 inch size that Chelsea wants. The printer you got from your office works great. You have to come and see it babe."
They got out of bed and got a couple cum towels from the nightstand and cleaned their bodies then went down to the computer room.
"You ready," Chase said with excitement in his voice.
"Yeah, let me see," Daniel held his breath. He didn't want to see his picture, really. Chase flipped the print over on the table and they both looked at it.
Daniel was dumbfounded. "Chase actually made me look good," he thought to himself.
"Wow, Chase, this really is fantastic."
"Well the model was perfect, my camera only reflected what it saw."
They held each other in their arms.
"I want to print one more today then I will do the rest tomorrow."
"Ok, I want to do some sketches on The Naked Surfer. I got inspired by seeing you surf today."
"Cool, let me see when you are finished."
Chase sat down at the computer to get the next picture ready to print and Daniel went to his studio to do some sketches of Chase surfing the waves. Within a few hours, both Daniel and Chase had completed their tasks.
They were nearly ready for the big opening day, just two weeks away.

That Friday morning Daniel and Chase woke up very early. Neither one had slept very well the night before. They were too nervous to sleep and even too anxious to make love. But they did hold on to each other. Both spent most of the night just listening to the waves crash on the shore. They loved living that close to the beach. The sound of the waves was so very soothing.
Today was the big day. They got up around 7 AM and wondered around the house aimlessly. They had to be at the Gallery by 2PM. Apparently, the press was going to interview the artists and that made Daniel even more nervous. He didn't know what kind of questions they were going to ask him. Chelsea told him not to worry that she would be by their sides when it came time for those so-called Art Critics to ask their questions. Time seemed to stand still for the two men. Daniel was a wreck and surprisingly so was Chase.
As the time approached, Daniel was all dressed in his new Levi's with a long sleeved blue and white, stripped shirt, with the sleeves rolled up on his forearms. He looked like the uptight artist he was. His body had a nice golden hue, since he and Chase visited their private beach three more times since their first visit. His all over tan was getting very close to what his partner had.
Chase on the other hand was dressed in Khaki Cargo shorts, flip-flops on his feet and a very loud green silk Hawaiian shirt with Hula Dancers on it. He also donned a white sun visor. Daniel couldn't understand why he was dressed like this, but Chase told him there was a reason and he would see later in the day.
They held each other in their arms kissed one long kiss. Then got into Daniel's old car and headed to Santa Monica. They held hands the whole way.
When they got to the Gallery, they stood in front of the building and looked at the display window that had their names in large letters across the front.
"This is like a dream, Chase."
"Yeah, surreal, isn't it?"
They walked into the gallery and from that moment on, nothing in their lives, good or bad, would be the same.
"There you are boys," Chelsea said. Her eyes lit up when she saw her star players and kissed them on each cheek.
"Hi, Chelsea," they both said.
"How are you holding up," she asked as she looked at Daniel.
"Oh, ok I guess. I feel better now that we are here though."
"Me too," Chase chimed in.
"Good, now come here and look at your finished exhibits."
They walked into Chase's area with his surfing pictures and pictures of his friends. They were all professionally matted and framed and looked unbelievably fantastic. The largest of Chase's pictures was of Charlie as he surfed in the tube of a large wave. How he got this shot was a mystery, but one that Chase was more than glad to share with anyone who asked.
Then there were the pictures of Daniel that seemed to draw the eye right to it. Daniel cringed when he saw his likeness matted and framed with spotlights that shined on each one. He was completely nude in one of the large prints and he wanted to take it down, but suppressed the urge to say anything.
"These pictures of you Daniel, will be a big hit tonight, just wait and see," Chelsea said, "you are so beautiful." Chelsea shook herself out of the daydream and smiled.
"Oh Chase, now don't get too nervous but I have some news for you," Chelsea said, "Well I sent out invitations to several critics and professionals. Most of which will be here this week. But, a little while ago I finally heard from someone who wants to see your work, someone you admire."
"Who is it?" Chase asked, not knowing who it could be.
"Well, I know you are a big fan of his, but Andreas Muller will be here to meet you."
"Holy Shit," Chase said as he looked at Daniel.
"Wow, babe, that's fantastic," Daniel said as he put his arms around his lover.
"Daniel, this is really amazing. Can you imagine, Andreas Muller is coming to see me? Ahhhhhh!" Chase yelled unable to control his excitement.
"I knew you would like that news, Chase," Chelsea said, laughing at Chase's uninhibited exuberance.
"Well now it's Daniel's turn, so come on and see what we did," Chelsea said. She took Daniel by the arm, because she knew full well how nervous he could be. She wanted to reassure him that she was there for him whenever he needed her.
Daniel felt a panic attack coming on, as they got closer to where his sculptures were displayed. They walked slowly. Daniel knew his work was just a few steps away around a corner. Chelsea and Chase were talking, but Daniel didn't here anything they said. He had the urge to run again, but he knew it was too late, because there it was, his exhibit, right in front of him.
With the lighting and the way each piece was set up on their individual pedestals, Daniel was astonished how well his artwork looked. Each piece gleamed under the artificial light. Even the large pieces that stood alone on the floor, seemed to radiate as light bounced off of them.
"Well what to you think Daniel?"
"Unbelievable. This is fantastic." Daniel was truly impressed on how professional his exhibit looked.
"It's really amazing Daniel," Chase said putting his arm around his lover and whispered, "your shit is the best Daniel, you are going to be the hit of this show, that's for sure."
Daniel, still in a state of shock, glanced at the little placard next to the metal sculpture titled The Universe. Below the title, was a price. Daniel looked again but figured the price was incorrect and brought it up to Chelsea.
"Chelsea, that price, that has to be a mistake."
"What?" Chelsea said, as she picked up the placard and looked at it, "No $1500.00 is correct. If this doesn't sell today, I am going to double the price. People will be clamoring for an original Daniel Casadini Sculpture by tomorrow. And Chase, you're going to be in the same situation."
Daniel wanted to protest the high price, but he was speechless at this time.
On the other hand, Chase just said, "Cool!"
"Well boys, the press will be here any minute now. First they will interview and take pictures of Bennett, then Emily, then John, then you Chase, and Daniel last."
"Oh just my luck, I get to run up the rear of the press corps," Daniel said. Chase and Chelsea looked at Daniel and burst out laughing.
A few minutes later, Chelsea shouted out to everyone in the gallery, "Ok, people, its Showtime!"
She then gave the nod and the Press was let in and the cameras started to flash and the questions shot at a rapid pace to Bennett and Emily and then John. When they got to Chase, Mr. Personality took over and he had the press eating out of his hand. Then came Daniel's turn as Chelsea led the press to his display.
With the help of Chelsea, Daniel got through with flying colors too. He was astonished at how calm and cool he was as he revealed how he felt about his sculptures.
The press corps seemed to love Daniel's work and raved about it among themselves. Daniel found out they were equally excited about Chase's work. Seems so far no one had recognized Daniel from Chase's pictures, at least no one said anything, yet.
The time was now 5PM and the rest of the world was about to enter the gallery. The doors were opened and the invited guests poured in. They clamored around and looked at the various exhibits when a loud group of people all dressed the same in Khaki Cargo Shorts, loud green Hawaiian silk shirts with Hula Dancers on it and white visors all stormed the Gallery. It was Charlie, Lucas, Devin and Shelby, and the rest of Chase's surfer friends and their girlfriends all dressed alike. Daniel knew now why Chase was dressed the way he was.
All his friends let out a yell when they saw Chase and yelled louder when they saw the pictures of themselves. Their jaws dropped and were silent for a second when they recognized Daniel's pictures. Marianne, Greg's girlfriend, summed it up when she went up to Chase and whispered, "You're a lucky bastard." Chase laughed and thanked her and told her he will let Daniel know.
People were all around Daniel's exhibit and praised him and asked him questions, but he longed to be with Chase and his friends at Chase's exhibit. He saw Charlie and everyone give Chase a hug and a pat him on his back.
Daniel was soon brought out of his stupor when Chelsea came up to him and said his first sculpture, The Nightmare, just sold for $1800.00. Daniel was stupefied; he wanted to get Chase's attention. Fortunately, Chase wanted to be with Daniel too and walked through the crowd to his lover.
"Chase I just sold my first sculpture."
"Cool, Daniel, that is so fucking amazing!"
The two lovers held each other in their arms and gave each other a kiss on the lips. The press was on the ball and flash cameras went off everywhere. Chelsea saw the unashamed show of affection the boys had for each other in public. This is what she wanted; this will give them the publicity they needed. The press now knew that Daniel and Chase were gay and were most likely lovers to boot.
"We have to stop Outing ourselves like this, Chase," Daniel said with a very red face.
"Oh fuck'em who cares anymore, Daniel," Chase said as he took Daniel's head in his hands and kissed him longer. This time, neither one saw the cameras as they flashed.
Daniel surprised himself because he didn't let his insecurities get to him right away, but he was sure they would get the best of him later when he would come down from this natural high. He enjoyed this moment too much.
Questions from the press came right and left, when, from the front of the gallery, someone came in with their entourage. Cameras started to flash in that direction and Chase and Daniel turned their heads toward the uproar.
"Fuck, Daniel, it's Andreas Muller!" Chase said in awe.
Daniel's heart fell into his shoe when he saw the man who was the center of attention.
"Oh Shit, Chase, is that Andreas Muller?" Daniel couldn't believe his eyes.
"Yeah, come on Daniel, he's heading to see my shit!" Chase was beside himself with excitement and headed for his exhibit. He didn't realize Daniel stayed behind. Daniel knew this was Chase's idol, the photographer he wanted to emulate and the man he looked up to.
Daniel froze in his tracks and he didn't know what to do. He couldn't move; his feet seemed to be paralyzed.
"Damn Chase," Daniel muttered softly, "how can I tell you that Andreas Muller is Andy from the gym?"
