Nick and Jonathan-Part 12
The day and a half that Nick and Jonathan were at Fern Grotto passed quietly and without event. That evening was spent quietly at home. Jonathan had made an early dinner for them both of chicken caesar salad and wine,, and afterwards the two went into town, along with the company of security crew, more or less just ambling about the back streets and side streets of Key West. They watched sunset at Mallory Square Dock.. Nick had never seen such a sight. The jugglers and fire-eaters. It was like a carnival. Once in a while they stopped where they wanted for a drink; never once Nick being questioned about his age. Neither Nick or Jonathan was really in a club mood, so after a while they found themselves back at Fern Grotto.
"Hey Nick", said Jonathan, lounging around with a glass of wine in just a pair of shorts. "Whatcha thinking?"
"Nothing really" said Nick, similarly dressed. "I still can't get over how lucky I am being with you".
"Hey, lover" said Jonathan sitting on the couch next to Nick. "I"m the lucky one".
Reaching over he kissed Nick lightly on the lips. Nick returned the kiss. He was amazed that the urgency of sex with Jonathan had been replaced with a tenderness and love. He couldn't believe that he was capable of such emotions and feelings. Before when he had been in a position to have sex it was a need for a physical release; even if it had been with a woman. Now he wanted to make it last, be more then just cumming. He knew he had at last found love and didn't care who knew. Nick moved over until he was lying between Jonathan's legs leaning up against his chest. Jonathan put his arm around Nicks waist and was absently stroking the sculpted abs.
"So, tell me more about party tomorrow night." said Nick, settling in against Jonathan. He took the glass of wine out of Jonathan's hand and took a drink from it. From hidden speakers throughout the house soft celtic harps and flutes played. Nick had learned that this was Jonathan's favorite music.
"It's been a tradition of my family that I have carried on since my parents' death" said Jonathan."Heh, guess its the only tradition. I don't see me having kids. It is called the Rites of Spring. A festival of sorts to welcome the transition from Winter into Spring. Lots of food, wine, fun".
"Sounds like a party to me" said Nick. "Are you sure about bringing me along?"
"Now why wouldn't I want you there" asked Jonathan as he took the wine glass back, finished the wine and set the glass down on the table. "You are the most special person in my life". He gently kissed Nick on the lips, now using both hands to rub Nicks perfectly sculpted abs.
"I know that" said Nick, starting to breathe a little heavier "But I mean people are gonna put two and two together and...." his voice trailed off as Jonathan started to run his hands into Nick's shorts. He could only whimper in pleasure as Jonathan ran his finger over the hardening cock head. Spreading the precum over the cock head caused jolts of pleasure to course thru Nick's body. Using his thumb he forced open the cum slit in Nick's cock head allowing more precum to leak out. Slowly a wet spot formed in the shorts on the front. Jonathan unzipped the shorts, allowing the 8.5"cock to free itself. Using his right hand he began a slow stroking of the shaft while holding Nick still. Nick changed from whimpering to moaning as the pleasure grew. As the feelings grew, Nick was moaning and squirming all over Jonathan who continued to hold him against him. Soon Nick exploded all over the both of them, showering them with hot cum.
"Well, guess you needed that" said Jonathan, laughing.
"Yeah, I guess I did." said Nick still gasping for breath. "That's what you get for not giving it up in the jacuzzi".
Rising from the couch, Nick went into the kitchen and came back with a wet rag and a dry towel. He cleaned off Jonathan and himself before sitting back down on Jonathan and pouring another glass of wine.
"Now, where were we?" said Nick, barely able to keep a straight face.
"Considering you are naked on my lap...." said Jonathan, "I can think of several options".
"Hmm me too" said Nick, his hands working their way into Jonathans shorts.
Holding hands the two went upstairs to bed.
Chapter Two: After spending a lazy morning in bed and breakfast afterwards, once more Nick and Jonathan lounged around the compound, making love in the jacuzzi, and again upstairs. They went into town for lunch and then back to the compound. The world was thiers for the taking and both were enjoying the peace and the solitude. The events of the previous 48 hours had begun to fade in both their minds. About 3pm Danny knocked on the door upstairs and entered into the living room area. As many times as he had been to the Grotto the view overlooking the ocean thru the ceiling to floor windows still stunned him.
"OK Boss," he started,"Flight time is in like an hour. The store dropped off Nick's stuff. We need to head out in about 20 mins."
"OK Danny, thanks" said Jonathan. Turning towards Nick who was playing the piano, a talent Jonathan didn't know he had, he said"You about ready for the party?"
"Yeah I think so" said Nick turning around. " I am still a little worried about meeting all of your friends"
"Hey babe" said Jonathan walking over to him "Don't be. Most of the people there know I"m gay and the ones that don't are gonna find out tonight. And I don't care". With that he kissed Nick.
"So come on, we gotta get moving". said Jonathan.
"OK, lemme pack what I bought" said Nick.
"Uhm.. you don't have to" said Jonathan. "We'll be back down here in a little while. "
"Lemme guess" said Nick, "There is a full wardrobe in South Carolina too"
"heh, uhmm yeah" said Jonathan, "I was a boy scout. You know their motto. Always be prepared"
Chapter Three: "Greetings from the flight deck" began Captain Hendrickson."We are about 10 minutes out from Hilton Head Airport. I got a message from Brandon that the car is waiting and you should be at the house about an hour before your guests start arriving."
"OK Don, thanks" said Jonathan. He stood up from the couch in the back of the Gulfstream V and looked out the window. In the distance he could see the great barrier island that was Hilton Head Island, his home. Ever since his parents death, he always had mixed feelings about returning home to the island.
Nick wandered over and slipped his hand into Jonathan's. "What's wrong man?" he said. "I know that look. I've worn it enough times."
"Nothing really I guess" said Jonathan. "I usually get this way every time I fly home. I think about all the times I spent in this house with my parents and stuff. Still kind of hurts even after 6 years"
"So, think about the times yet to come" said Nick. He pulled Jonathan around and wrapped him in a hug. Jonathan tried to break away but was amazed at the stregnth Nick had.
"Hey man, stay here" said Nick, not letting go. "You were here for me, let me hold you now."
The two stayed that way for a couple of minutes til the plane started to desend. Neither said a word, just held onto each other, feeling the warmth and comfort of the others body. Finally breaking the hold, Jonathan tenderly kissed Nick, his tounge passing into the young man's mouth.
"Thanks beautiful" he said.
The two took chairs for the landing, holding hands, never looking elsewhere but each others' eyes.
"Can we fuck in the back of the limo?" asked Nick, breaking the silence.
"NO!" said Jonathan with a laugh. "Leather seats"
"HEH" replied Nick. "I like leather. It feels so good"
The two broke up laughing as the plane landed and taxied to the hanger and waitng limo. They left the plane after thanking Captain Hendrickson for the flight and reminding him to be at the party and got into the limo, Danny getting in up front and the other two agents getting in a car behind them. As the car pulled out, Jonathan pushed the button closing off the back of the limo from the front.
"Hmm" he said as he reached over to Nick. " I changed my mind. You need to take a shower anyway'. He began rubbing the front of Nicks cargo shorts causing him to become hard in seconds. He pulled Nick down to the floor of the limo and started to grind his own hard cock thru the fabric into Nicks. Nick responded by kissing Jonathan, allowing his tounge to be sucked into the man's mouth. Jonathan reached down and opened the zipper of Nicks' shorts then his own. He reached into his own pants and pulled out his cock and slipped it into the boxers of Nick. The two continued to kiss and fondle each other and their cocks became slippery with precum. As the feelings built the two became more frantic in their motions. Suddenly Jonathan groaned and began to cum all over Nick's cock and pubes. This sent Nick over the edge andhis load also began exploding out of him. The two loads were trapped inside Nick's boxers along with the two penises. The sensations of the two loads surrounding the skin and pubic hairs was intense. Finally Nick pushed Jonathan off as the feelings were getting too intense.
"Wow man" said Nick. "That was incredible. I've never felt anything like that".
"I loved it to man, and you." said Jonathan. He reached into Nick's boxers, running his hand thru the cum filled hair. he lifted his hand out and moved his fingers to his mouth, licking off the mixed loads of them both before reaching down and kissing Nick. Nick eagerly licked the cum from Jonathan's lips and tounge.
"Thanks for being there on the plane babe" said Jonathan.
As the two tried to put themselves back together, the limo rolled onto the estate of Jonathan's home. The two got out of the back of the limo and once more Nick all but fell on the ground looking up at a house.
"Damn dude!" said Nick breathlessly, "you said house, not a fuckin mansion".
"Oh, chill" said Jonathan laughing "Its not that big. It is 6 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms, a few other rooms"
"How many square feet?" asked Nick suspiciously, looking up at the 3 story house.
"Uhm... 18,000" said Jonathan quietly.
"18,000?" asked Nick
"Yeah, something like that. Come on, I'll give you the tour later.. people are due to start arriving in about an hour and you seriously need a shower and I need a shave"
Chapter Four: Jonathan was putting the finishing touches on his bow tie. Looking over he saw Nick come out of the dressing room and was blown away. Standing 6'1", his hair combed and perfectly set, he walked out wearing an Armani double breasted black tux, starched white dress shirt, and black tie.
"Damn dude! you are soooo beautiful" said Jonathan with awe in his voice. in the short time that they had been together, Nick was always in shorts or jeans. Now he looked like a total superstar.
"Thanks man," said Nick blushing, "You don't look too bad either"
Jonathan was putting on his white dress jacket over a black waist coat, white shirt, black pants and black tie. He walked over to Nick and took his hand.
"I love you Nick" said Jonathan quietly. "Be mine forever"
Nick kissed Jonathan softly. "Always and forever more then you realize"
Turning towards the door, the two went down the cascading marble staircase to the entrance hall. A waterfall fell from just under the top of the stairs on the second level all the way to the floor in the curve of the stairs. Brandon, dressed in a Christian Dior tux, seeing them come down stairs picked up a cordless microphone and walked towards the entrance of the living room area where the party was in progress. Timing it perfectly as Nick and Jonathan started down the final 12 steps, and coming into view of the entryway, he annonced them.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Spring has arrived, along with your host tonight. Welcome to the Rites of Spring 1999, and your host, Thomas Castleton."
Applause broke out across the 6,000 sq foot room. Nick was shocked at the size of the crowd and the sheer enormity of the room. Jonathan only held his hand tighter as together they walked into the room, obvious that they were more then friends. Jonathan acknowledged the applause with a raised hand asking for silence. Taking the microphone from Brandon he began to speak. Never once did he let Nick's hand go.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, friends, welcome to my home. As in the past the custom continues to welcome Spring. Spring means many things to many people. An end to Winter, a re-birth of Nature, a chance for a new life. For me, this year, Spring takes on a special meaning. It is a re-claiming of life, a birth of a new life. The world takes on a new and wonderous appearance. I have never hid my sexuality, as most of you know, some better then others...."
Light laughter passed thru the crowd.
Smiling Jonathan continued, " For me, life has taken on a new meaning, a special new beginning. About a year ago on a chance encounter I met someone. Over the course of the year we became very close friends. In the past week or so, that relationship became more intense and made me realize that life is what we make of it. There are so few opportunities for love and happiness in this world we have created. Life continues to get faster and faster, crazier and more hetic. Well, I have been given a special chance for love and a new outlook on life, and I am going to make sure that I do not give up that chance. Friends, please help me make a very special person a part of my life and this evening. Please meet Nick and welcome him to the rites of Spring."
The crowd as one began an applause. Nick was beginning to blush. He was never very good at being the center of attention. Even when he set two state records in swimming, one even shattering the old record by over 2.4 seconds, he was uncomfortable at all the attention that it brought. He also realized that the plan he had thought of earlier could happen here. Everything that he had wanted in life and happiness was right here. From the depths of his soul he found courage to do what he was about to do.
Jonathan taking two crystal flutes of champagne from a waiter, passed one to Nick. "These glasses represent Spring to me. Lalique Angel." The glasses were tall 10" flutes made of the finest crystal with the representaion of an angel with full wings on the outside of the glass. "Angels mean a chance for a new life. I give to you Spring 1999. Join with me in a toast to the happiness and harmony we each may share for the coming year." Jonathan raised his glass first to the crowd and then to Nick.
As the applause died down, Nick leaned over and said something to Jonathan. He gave Nick a questioning look, but handed him the microphone.
"Good Evening" began Nick in a shaky voice. "This is my first but hopefully the first of many such events. I thank you for your warm welcome. Jonathan has brought me into his world as a friend, lover and equal. He took me away from a literal Hell on Earth and has given me a chance for a new life, a new Spring if you will. Jonathan has shown me something no one ever has before. That someone can love me and care about me; and that it is all right for me to show love back."
Nick turned towards Jonathan while handing his glass to a waiter standing near.
"Jon, you asked me tonight to be with you always. I said always and forever. Before this gathering in this rebirth of spring, I ask you to be MINE always and forever."
Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a small envelope. Opening it, he shook out two identical rings. Each made of gold with matching saffires and emeralds. Slipping one on his hand, he took the other and placed it on the hand of Jonathan. "You have given me back my life, and your love. Accept mine now, forever".
Jonathan could only stand in shock and silence Emotions of love, happiness, and fullfillment welled up in his chest. Unable to speak he reached out and hugged Nick. For nearly a minute the two stood together, bonded as one, the crowd silenced by the display of emotion. Finally Jonathan placed his forehead against Nick's.
"I love you, now and forever. I am yours forever" said Jonathan.
