Not so many comments last time. Let's see if I can generate some interest- backbayguy@juno.com
CHAPTER ONE: There is something we need to discuss Jonathan" said Kristian.
Four days had passed since Jonathan had arrived at the castle for the meetings. During that time the council had met for what seemed hours on end. Jonathan was stunned to meet people over a thousand years old to some barely 200 years old. He felt somewhat out of place being immortal for less then 10 years and still "theorically" only 38. Following the meetings he had left the castle during the day to hike around the countryside to relax and put his mind at ease at what he was told.
"I have a feeling there is a lot more then `something' but what is on your mind" asked Jonathan.
The two of them were in what Jonathan called "the den" of the castle. In actuality, it was a chapel that had been part of the castle. Done in an octagonal shape, the ceiling rose for close to 40 feet. There were over 25 panels of stained glass. Using indirect lighting and back lighting the interior decorators for the castle had created a very unique room. Very large overstuffed furniture was tastefully placed about the room. Organ pipes still adorned one wall of the den. A bar made of mahogany and done in a style similar to the wood work in the castle with 8 chairs was on a second wall.
"You have only been immortal for a short time" said Kristian. "Those of us who have been around for a long time have had to change identities from time to time"
"I kind of figured that one out already" said Jonathan.
"Do not act like a smart ass and listen to what the man has to say" a voice in his head said.
Turning around in his chair he noted Maximillian sitting on a table next to him.
"Where did you come from?" asked Jonathan, somewhat rattled by the concept of an immortal cat.
Maximillian flicked his tail at him before walking off the table and on to Jonathan's lap. He looked at Jonathan.
"Luxor since you ask" was the reply. "However as I was saying, listen to Kristian. He is wise, a youngster but wise for only 900 years. I have hope that he will one day become quite wise"
"So, I apologize" said Jonathan, feeling like a school child being scolded for talking in class. "I know that eventually I will have to change my identity but I shouldn't figure that it will be for a long while."
"Not so" said Kristian. "We have just finished two days of meetings here with the council. You know what we are planning and what some of the things that you have to do are going to be. One of world's richest men cannot go crashing around Europe without raising suspicions not too mention your bodyguards, insurance company and a half of dozen police agencies would go nuts."
"So, you are saying that I have to die" said Jonathan. A shiver went through him. Even knowing in real life he couldn't die, at least for a long time, it gave him an uncomfortable feeling.
"My holdings, monies and such are all in the process of being willed to Ryan" said Jonathan. "He is now my legal heir. My lawyers are having a field day with that one. I'm not sure how to even go about changing that part around yet. Even with the sale of most of the company to the immortals it is still not going to be the easiest thing to do"
"As powerful as we are as immortals, we do need to seek help from mortals in some of our work" said Kristian. "As the time grows shorter and we need to become more active in the saving our planet, all of us will need to change our identities. The company will become more and more hidden. Assets will flow as needed but never tracked. We will be controlling banks, companies, anything we need to achieve our goal. I know you have your own lawyers, we can recommend a couple that are experts in things like this."
"So," said Jonathan, leaving it hanging.
"Ryan was not part of our original plan, however he can be of use to us" said Kristian.
"He's an 18 year old kid who has just begun getting his head screwed back on straight after his parents' disappearance" said Jonathan
"He'll be 20 when it happens so relax" said the cat, his tail whipping furiously about and prancing on Jonathan's lap.
"Calm down both of you" said Kristian in his most ancient voice.
The cat looked at Jonathan, then Kristian, flicked its' tail and disappeared.
"Is he going to do that often?" asked Jonathan.
"He is one of the feistier cats" said Kristian. "But he is also the most ancient and apparently powerful. That's why he is with you. By the way how did that meeting go with your monster cat?"
"Not overly well from what I gathered." Said Jonathan with a smile. "I spent over an hour coaxing Sebastian off the rafters in my bedroom. The only way I got him down was that Maximillian appeared next to him and Sebastian jumped"
"I'm sure they will get along after a while" said Kristian.
"I'm not so sure, but at least Maximillian and he shouldn't have too much contact" said Jonathan. "That was one scared cat let me tell you. The language coming out of Sebastian I've never heard before. However, getting back to Ryan, how is he going to play into all of this? Don't tell me that it has been foretold the crap he went through in Phoenix."
"No that is just something that happened" said Kristian. "However as your legal heir it would make sense to bring him on board especially if you have to change in a couple of years"
"I'm really not comfortable with this" said Jonathan. "I mean, this kid is getting his life together and then WHAM I up and die on him?"
"He will know the truth" said Kristian. "I've seen his mind, he will be able to handle it. You need to tell him soon however, let him adapt to it"
"How do you suggest I tell an 18 year old kid that the person he trusts the most in the world is immortal, cannot die and is going to heap 7 billion dollars worth of headaches on him in 2 years?" asked Jonathan a trace of irony and anger in his voice.
"Is it not better to do that then to have his world collapse around him in a writhing death of a planet?" asked Kristian. "Trust me Jonathan, he can handle it"
When do I have to do this?" asked Jonathan.
"As I said, you don't need to change for a couple of years, however you should tell him as soon as possible" said Kristian.
"As long as we are spreading the word here, do you have any problems with me telling Jared?" asked Jonathan.
"Not really" said Kristian. "That will be your choice. I understand he is a bit more into his job than Danny was"
"I wouldn't quite put it like that, but he does like to keep me in sight at all times" said Jonathan.
"You could try to just up and disappear in front of him and see what he does" said Kristian with a smile.
Jonathan thought about that for a moment then smiled. "It would be almost worth it"
CHAPTER TWO:
Jonathan delayed his return to the United States by a couple of days by returning to the Eberle's hotel. It was Springtime in Lucerne and Jonathan took advantage of the weather, walking along the shores of the lake, long walks in the old part of Lucerne and taking day trips in and around Interlaken. Of course, none of this pleased Jared, who insisted on several bodyguards. Jonathan also took the opportunity for some shopping downtown updating his wardrobe a bit.
On the second night after having dinner with the Eberle family, Jonathan was relaxing in the bar and Danny stopped by.
"When did you come over?" asked Jonathan, shaking his hand. "I thought you were at the resort doing an advance report or something"
"That's the nice thing about the security company" said Danny. "We have jets"
"I know that, I own them and I see the fuel bills." said Jonathan with a smile. "Seriously, what's up? Is everything all right?"
"No problems" said Danny.
Since his replacement as Jonathan's primary bodyguard Danny had relaxed a lot. He was dressing better as well, looking outstanding in black Armani slacks a light grey shirt and matching sweater. Jonathan had kept the security company intact after purchasing it some years earlier and in the last month had promoted Danny to Vice President of Operations. Jonathan was still the primary client, but it was his way of thanking Danny for all of the years of service.
"I had a visitor yesterday" said Danny sipping his own drink.
"Anyone I should be concerned with?" asked Jonathan.
"Kristian" said Danny.
"Oh?" said Jonathan, "That's a bit odd"
"Tell me about it" said Danny. "I'm sitting there in the office at the resort going over the plans for Ryan's celebration there. I looked up over the papers and Kristian was just standing there. That's very unnerving"
"I know what you mean" said Jonathan, "He does that to me and it still startles me. What did he want?"
"He suggested I fly over here and help you with Jared." Said Danny. "Kristian said that you were getting ready to tell him the truth"
Jonathan sent a mental thank you to Kristian. "That's not a bad idea. He was an excellent choice for a bodyguard but I practically had to shackle him to one of the castle walls to get some privacy there. The man doesn't even trust 8 foot thick walls when other people are around"
"Do you want me to tell him to loosen up?" asked Danny.
"That would be good too but I do need to tell him about a few things" said Jonathan. "Speaking of which, we need to talk about something that is just not going to make your day"
"Every time you say that I get 10 more grey hairs" said Danny. "Do I need another drink?"
"You are a lot more fun now that you drink" said Jonathan laughing.
Jonathan signaled the waiter for two more drinks. After they were brought Jonathan paused looking at the light reflecting in the crystal glass. "I have to change my identity in 2 years. Jonathan Castleton has to die"
"You're right I don't like it" said Danny.
Jonathan continued to explain a bit more to him without revealing the real reasons for his identity switch. After a while, Danny understood and while still not happy about it said he would start a file to figure out how to do it. The talk then returned to Jared.
"I am thinking it would be better to do it very quietly in a secluded place where he can't call the Calvary down upon you for assistance." Said Danny.
"Me too, how about tomorrow morning after breakfast?" said Jonathan. "I'll want you there"
"Can do boss man" said Danny. "I'll see you in the morning"
After Danny left, Jonathan looked at his watch and realized it was still fairly early in the evening. Feeling something he hadn't in a long while, he stood up and started out the bar. He ran into Frau Eberle coming from the Kitchen.
"Ach, Jonathan, is there something you need?" she asked.
"Yeah a diet" he said chidingly. "Your cooking is going to make me fat"
She swiped at him with her apron strings. "I have known you for almost 20 years Jonathan. You haven't gotten anywhere near fat. Hugo is fat, you are not"
He hugged her. "You are amazing"
"Ya, I'm Swiss" she said with good humor. "Are you really leaving out tomorrow?"
"I wish I could stay but work calls" said Jonathan. "We will probably be on the way before noon"
"I'll have a nice breakfast on the patio waiting" she said as she left.
"Nice lady" said Jared who had appeared out of the shadows.
"Very nice lady" said Jonathan, making a mental note for himself about his will. He wanted to make sure the Eberles were well taken care of. He turned to Jared. "Let's go into town and hit a few clubs"
"I'll have the Hummers brought around" said Jared.
"Thank you" said Jonathan. He stopped and turned around. "You usually complain when I do something on short notice"
"Danny said you might have something in mind for tonight" he replied.
"Gotcha"
Twenty minutes later they were walking along the streets of Lucerne. Using his mental energies Jonathan allowed his mind to wander to seek out what he was looking for. Finding what he wanted, he turned to Jared.
"I know we haven't talked about this, but you do know that I'm single and like to get some now and then right?" he asked.
"Yes, Danny told me you are gay, single and that once in a while you might be picking up some entertainment for the evening"
"I'm not sure I would call it entertainment but you get the idea" said Jonathan.
"So, with that in mind, can we cut down the number of people?" asked Jonathan. "You can handle just about anything that could happen"
"I'll leave two guys outside the club and just the drivers" said Jared. "How's that"
"That'll work" said Jonathan. "Have you ever been to a gay club?"
"One of my other clients liked to go clubbing in L.A." he replied, "This should be a piece of cake"
"You were probably a big hit there" said Jonathan with a smile.
"I had a few offers" said Jared with a straight face.
"You know there are days I think you are human" said Jonathan.
"Never" said Jared.
Jonathan was still laughing as they approached the club. After paying admission for both of them they were passed through the doors. Jared set off the metal detector and there was a brief tense moment as the club security found Jared's weapons, but his company ID and Jonathan managed to smooth things over.
"You actually carry four guns?" asked Jonathan incredulously.
"You never know what might happen" said Jared.
"So, what is the large nasty knife for?" asked Jonathan.
"When I need to be quiet" said Jared.
Not having a response to that, Jonathan worked his way deeper into the club. He went over to the bar and got himself a drink then turned to watch the crowd. He realized that it had been a very long time since he had been in a club, and almost as long since he had felt the need or desire to get off. His eyes roved over the crowd aimlessly, looking at the various teenagers and men that were there. He felt more then heard someone approach him. He also saw Jared moving closer to him and gave him an "easy does it" stare.
"Hi" said the man.
"Good evening" said Jonathan, taking a moment to size the man up. He was probably 23 or 24, typically Swiss, blond, tall chiseled.
"Here alone?" the man asked.
"More or less" said Jonathan, making a decision. "I'm Jonathan."
"Henry" said the man, shaking the proffered hand. "Are you just visiting?"
"Yes, I am" replied Jonathan. "I'm flying home to the US tomorrow"
"Would you like to dance?" asked Henry.
Jonathan finished off his drink . "Let's do it"
Jonathan and Henry worked their way out on to the dance floor and began to dance to the pulsing beat of the music. Drawing upon the skills he had acquired years before he began a complicated rhythm of moves and dance strides. Henry was able to match some of them but not all. Moving closer to him, Jonathan ripped off the t shirt that Henry was wearing and as the music took over, channeled his mind into Henry. The two of them began to dance in sync grinding bumping, spinning and moving throughout the floor. After fifteen minutes they worked themselves off the floor.
"Sorry about the shirt" said Jonathan as they headed to the bar. He ordered two bottles of water for them.
"It is OK" said Henry breathing heavily. "It usually happens at some point in the night. I have a couple out in my car"
"You dance very well" said Jonathan.
"Thank you but you are amazing" said Henry. "You're not even breathing heavily"
"Lots of practice" said Jonathan, lying.
"Are you as good at other things as you are at dancing" Henry asked, the meaning obvious.
"Better" said Jonathan, arching an eyebrow.
"Where are you staying?" asked Henry as they made their way to the door, a silent agreement passing between them.
"A hotel just outside of town" said Jonathan.
"What about your friends?" Henry asked. "You said you were more or less there alone"
"That would be him" said Jonathan pointing towards Jared at the door. "He is a bodyguard. There are a couple of more outside."
"Why do you need a bodyguard" asked Henry coming to a halt.
"Very long story but don't worry he stays outside the bedroom door, not inside"
"Ach, tis a shame, he might be fun" said Henry with a smile.
CHAPTER THREE:
"Gott en Himmel" grunted Henry as Jonathan worked his tongue in and out of Henry's ass.
"Hot ass" moaned Jonathan in between swipes of the tight smooth ass.
They had returned to Jonathan's suite and within moments clothes were falling off of them. Raw, almost animalistic passions were awoken in Jonathan; feelings and emotions he had not felt in ages. Without conscious thought, he picked up Henry and practically threw him on to the bed before diving on top of him. Their tongues viciously intertwined as their hands crawled over their bodies. Swiss Army physical training had brought Henry's body to a state of peak physical conditioning. His smooth abs clenched in stark relief as Jonathan's tongue trailed down them heading towards the large uncut cock.
"Suck it" moaned Henry. "I want that hot mouth on my cock, suck it"
Jonathan was teasing the cock. "You want it?"
"Gott ya" came the ragged reply.
As Jonathan started to run his tongue over the exposed cock head moans were coming louder and louder. Jonathan started working his middle finger into the hairy hole that lay beneath the hanging nut sack.
On the verge of shooting his load, Henry suddenly flipped Jonathan over on to his back. He dove down on Jonathan's hard cock, swallowing the whole shaft in one swoop.
"Fuck yeah" was the grunted reply of Jonathan's
For what seemed like an hour the two kept taking turns sucking and tonguing each other. Jonathan could stand it no longer. Breaking the ass eating 69 that the two had been in, he pulled Henry to the edge of the bed. Throwing the legs over his shoulders he lined his cock up and without warning thrust all 7 inches into Henry. He responded by thrusting back against Jonathan's hips. Rutting back and forth, in and out the room was filled with Nothing but the sounds of the bed creaking and moaning. Jonathan opened his mind to Henry's and filled it with images of sexual primacy.
With a yell Henry began stroking his cock harder and faster.
"I'm coming" he yelled lost in the passion of the moment. Ropes of thick cum splattered over the smooth body. Jonathan pulled his cock out of Henry and shot several strands of thick cum over Henry's body adding to the mess. Collapsing on top of him both were aware of the raw sensory feelings of their trapped cocks lying in their cum. Henry grabbed Jonathan's head and began kissing him once again. Jonathan responded with the same fierceness. Soon the two were once again lost in an almost primordial sexual frenzy. Continuing on until early in the morning the two finally collapsed into the bed and oblivion.
CHAPTER FOUR:
The next morning Jonathan had just finished a very late breakfast and was talking with the Eberle family when Danny walked in with Jared.
"When will you be coming back Jonathan?" asked Frau Eberle
"Ryan graduates in a couple of weeks and I'm coming back for that and I'm sure we'll be by" said Jonathan giving her a hug.
"We'll be expecting you" said Frau Eberle. "You've talked of Ryan but we haven't met him yet. I think it is wonderful what you have done for this young man. Can you stay for more then a couple of days?"
"I think so" said Jonathan. "I'm hoping to have a lot more free time in the near future. I'll call you a couple of days in advance before we come over. I know Ryan said the one time he got up this way he loved it."
"Excellent" she said. "You are welcome here as long as you like"
Jonathan went upstairs to his suite to grab a coat before leaving. As they entered the suite, Jonathan figured that this was a good a time as any.
"Jared there is something we need to deal with and it is not the easiest thing to say" said Jonathan.
"Danny said you wanted to talk to me" said Jared, "You releasing me?"
"Not even close" said Jonathan sitting down. "There is something you need to know as my bodyguard that Danny knew when he was doing it. Very few people do know this and no one else in the company does."
"What would that be?" asked Jared.
Jonathan looked at Danny who shrugged. "Don't ask me I'm not shooting"
"That's funny" said Jonathan. He turned back to Jared. "You are an excellent bodyguard. You've shown yourself to be everything one could want. However, there are times I need to move on my own. I can take care of myself beyond your wildest dreams and I need you to understand why."
"That's not what I'm paid for" said Jared.
"Jared, I'm immortal and cannot die" said Jonathan. "I also possess the ability to harness the powers of the planet to defend myself"
Jared just stared at him. "Uh huh" came his reply after about 10 seconds.
Danny chimed in. "You can believe what he says. He did a number in Key West that blew up a 20 meter section of the ground with four very bad guys on it with just his mind"
"You are both trying to pull one on me right?" asked Jared.
Jonathan looked at Jared for a moment. "Oh well, I didn't think that was going to work. Jared, I apologize for this"
"What?" asked Jared.
"This" said Jonathan.
Jonathan walked out to the balcony of his suite. He noted that no one was in the gardens outside of the back of the hotel. He knew that there were no windows in that particular section of the building. Standing in the sunshine facing the mountains he closed his eyes. Focusing his mind, he could feel the waters running in the river streams of the mountains. Looking deeper he could see in his mind the layers of rock in the Rigi Massif. He felt the energy grow within him. Then, faster then the eye could see he turned and charged into the room. Grabbing Jared by the jacket he lifted the man and tossed him out of the doors and over the balcony. Before Jared could put two and two together, Jonathan moved his body, taking Danny with him and appeared in the garden, catching Jared before he hit the ground. He set him down as gently as possible.
"A little warning would have been nice there Jonathan" said Danny, obviously shaken up by being transported.
Jared was not in any better of a mental state. Completely caught unawares, he vaguely had a vision of Jonathan moving faster then any human could possibly have moved, then flying upside down out and off of the 5th story balcony. Before he could even open his mouth to shout, he found himself being held up off the ground and lowered to it. He could only stare at Jonathan.
"As I said, I apologize but that is a lot better then shooting myself, at least on me" said Jonathan.
"How did you do that?" asked Jared in a halting voice. For once the bravado and self-assurance was gone.
"As I said earlier, I'm immortal" said Jonathan. "I command the powers of the energy of the planet. It was easier to show you then tell you"
"So, if you are all this, why do you need a bodyguard?" asked Jared getting up off the ground.
"Because I can still be kidnapped, and among other things doing metaphysical things in public tend to lead to questions I cannot answer"
"I'm really not too sure about all of this" said Jared.
"You can think about it on the way home, we need to leave for Zurich." Said Danny. "In the meantime, you need to not say a word about this to anyone. You are now part of a very small circle"
"Who would believe me?" said Jared. "No one since my drill sergeant in the Corps has ever taken me down"
"We'll talk more on the plane" said Jonathan.
"Indeed" said Jared.
