Our New Life - Chapter 9 - by Mark Writer
After the special surprise "dessert" was finished, I was tossed into the pool to rinse off the sticky remains. Then we sat on the patio and visited.
Jim asked, "Neil, how do you and Bill get along? Think he'll be alright for a step dad?"
"He's real cool," Neil said. "He seemed kinda young for mom at first, and I didn't really like it. One of the things that really made me like him was when he brought mom to one of my baseball games. She's not a big sports fan, you know, and hardly ever came to any games. Not that I held it against her. But, they've been to some games this season, and Bill even came to one by himself."
"That is something," I said.
"Yeah," Josh said, "He took Neil and me to a Cardinals game in St. Louis, too."
"And, he even bought us a beer," Neil said with a laugh. "We both like him, and Mom really loves him."
"That's great," Jim said.
It was beginning to cool off, and I still felt a little sticky. "Guys, it's getting a little cold, and I'm sticky and smell like ice cream," I said. "Mind if I go in and take a shower?"
"I could use one, too," Jim said.
"Sure," Neil said. "You can use the Mom's bathroom. Josh and me use the other one. We'll get our showers now, too."
Jim and I showered together. As I washed his back, I commented on how well I liked the two teens. "Neil and Josh real neat guys," I said.
Jim turned and grinned. "You had fun with them in the pool and at dessert, too, didn't you?"
"Yeah, they were a lot of fun. That ice cream thing was unbelievable." I said. "I had really looked forward to playing with them, too, but now I feel kind of guilty, Jim. I keep feeling like I cheated on you. I don't know how to explain it. I know it's weird."
Jim turned around and put his hands on my shoulders. "I was right there. I was doin' the same thing with Josh. You weren't cheating. I know you love me and wouldn't cheat on me. Like you say, it was just fun sex. I knew you had fun with Jake and was lookin' forward to fun with the teens. That's why I told Neil to leave me out of the ice cream thing. I liked watchin' you have fun with them." He kissed me. "I don't want you to feel weird. I love you. I want to you to be happy and have a good time."
I kissed Jim. "I love you, Jim" I said and hugged him. "You do make me happy. Being with you and making love with you makes me happy. I don't have to have fun sex to be happy."
"But you acted excited about Jake," Jim said. "And you said you want to live with Neil and Josh."
"Remember, Jake asked you if he could have sex with me, and you said it was OK and nodded to me? I thought you wanted me to have sex with him."
"I did if you wanted to. I didn't mean you had to."
"I know I didn't have to. I wanted to, and I did have fun."
I started to cry. I knew what I was saying didn't make sense to Jim. I didn't know how to explain it to him. Jim rubbed my back and kissed my cheek.
"Babe, don't cry," he said. "Why are you so upset if you had fun?"
"I'm crying because I don't know how to explain it. I really do enjoy fun sex, but afterward I feel like I've been cheating. Jim, I love you and don't want you to think I'd cheat on you."
He lifted my chin and looked into my eyes. "Mark, look at me. Have you ever had sex with another guy when I wasn't around?"
"NO!" I said firmly. "I would never do that. You are the only person I was ever with until the other day at Seth and Tim's."
"Then you've never cheated on me. I don't call it cheating if we're both there. I did cheat on you last Easter with Neil, and I should have told you long ago." He kissed me. "I promise nothing like that will ever happen again."
"Jim, Neil started that while you were asleep. That's different." I hugged him. "I understand what you mean about us being together when we have fun sex with other people. I guess that's different, too."
Jim kissed me. "I think it is."
"You're right," I said. "Let's agree we won't have sex with anyone else unless were together. I don't mean I want us to do it all the time, though."
Jim laughed, "I don't think we will. We've been together almost four years, and it never happened before. But, if we don't want to do this a lot the next week, maybe we better explain our feelings to Neil and Josh."
I laughed. "Yeah, I guess we should," I agreed. "They'll probably think we're old fashioned squares."
"I don't care if we are," Jim said. "Just so they understand. Let's get dressed and go talk to them."
We found Neil and Josh in the family room watching MTV. They looked romantically cute, sitting on the couch, leaning against each other, dressed identically in boxer shorts and t-shirts.
"Hey, College Dudes," Neil said as we entered.
"Hi, guys," Jim answered. "Mind if we talk a little."
"Sure," Neil said punching the remote to turn off the TV. "Nothin's wrong I hope."
"No," Jim assured him. "Mark and I have just been talking and want to run something by you two."
"Shoot it by us, then," Josh said.
"Well, we had some great fun sex with you guys this evening," Jim started.
"Yeah," I agreed. "You guys showed us a great time. I'll always remember that kinky ice cream thing."
Neil and Josh high-fived each other. Neil smiled. "We did it, Josh!"
"We've been planning for two days what to do to welcome you college dudes," Josh said, smiling and beaming. "We wanted to live up to our Internet show and e-mails."
"I'd say you did," Jim laughed. "Let me explain, though. Mark and me are not exactly wild swingers. Since I met Mark, I hadn't been with another man until this week . . . except that time you snuck into my room, Neil."
Neil blushed and giggled.
I said, "And, I had never been with anyone but Jim."
"Oh, shit! We haven't caused a problem between you guys, have we?" Neil asked.
I put my arm around Jim. "No, nothing like that," I said. "We just don't want you to think we do this kind of thing all the time. We love each other, and we don't play around."
"Neil, remember how I told you that some day you would find someone you wanted to be with all the time?" Jim asked. "When two people are in love, their lover is the only person for them."
"Jim, I found him, Josh. I hadn't been with another guy in almost a year, not since I fell in love with Josh. I don't think Josh has either," Neil said and kissed Josh's cheek.
"No, I've not. I love you too much, Neil," Josh said and looked lovingly into his eyes. "This was my first time. I liked it, Jim, but I feel bad for it."
"I told Jim the same thing, Josh," I said. "That's what we've been talking about."
Tears ran down Neil's cheek. "This is all my fault," he sobbed. "I talked Josh into that damned Internet show. It started the whole thing. Nothin' good has come from it."
"Oh, yes it has," I said looking at the two teens. "I met two great guys."
Neil smiled. "How about we start all over in the morning like friends and forget about all this."
"Damn good idea, Neil," Jim said.
"I don't know," I smiled. "I don't think I'll ever forget that ice cream thing."
"Yeah, let's start new tomorrow," Josh said.
"Oh, OK, I'll try to forget the ice cream," I laughed. "We'll start new in the morning."
"It's getting late," Jim said and hugged me. "Mark has to go to the school in the morning. We should get to bed."
"What time in the morning, Mark?" Neil asked.
"My appointment's at ten," I said.
"We'll have breakfast for you at eight-thirty."
"You guys don't have to do that."
"No problem. I always eat breakfast," Neil said.
Josh stood smiled at Neil and said, "Come on, love. We should go to bed, too."
When we got to our room, it didn't take Jim long to show me why he wanted to get to bed. We kissed, embraced and made fantastic love until we fell asleep in one another's arms.
A sound awoke me early in the morning. I heard moaning coming through the was from Neil's room next door. Listening closely I heard Neil's voice. "Oh, I love that, Josh. Don't stop." I looked at Jim. He was awake and grinned.
"MMMMM! AWWWW," and giggles could be hear through the wall.
I smiled. "I didn't know you could hear through the walls," I whispered.
"Yeah. I woke up a while ago and heard them," Jim chuckled. "Those teenagers have been goin' at it like that the whole time."
"Then they probably heard us, too."
"Not if they were as busy as they are now. We didn't hear them. Who cares anyway? I'm sure they didn't think we were just gonna sleep."
We heard another loud "AWWW!" and more giggling.
"I don't think I can sleep much listening to their lovemaking," I laughed.
Jim rolled over and kissed my shoulder. "I can't either," he said and continued to plant loving kisses on my chest and neck.
There was very little sleeping in either bedroom that night.
To be continued.
