The Befriended

The Befriended By Adam Stewart

Ray was half hearted about packing to go away and wondered whether he was making the right decision to spend two weeks in Brighton. It was his and his partner's favourite place to go for a break, but Tony had died from a stroke four months ago. Ray needed a break having spent the last four months sorting things out and slowly getting over his tragic loss. They were both aged fifty and had known each other since they were ten years old having first met at school. As soon as they met they knew they were right for each other and once in their early teens, both knew they were gay. When they were twenty, they set up their own theatrical agency which had been very successful. Now Ray was left running it himself without Tony's vivacious personality although he did still have Julian who'd been at the agency for the past ten years. He could still remember the nervous sixteen-year-old walking into the office for his interview as their assistant. Both Ray and Tony gasped because the lad was gorgeous, and of course he was gay which was an added bonus. Now he was a competent twenty-six-year-old and for the next two weeks would be managing the office on his own although he knew Ray was available on his mobile or by email if necessary.

Julian had encouraged Ray to have a holiday as had his other friends so in the end he succumbed and booked a room at the usual gay hotel at which he and Tony had always stayed. They'd been going for so many years now that the owner knew them well and when Ray told Felipe that Tony had passed away he was as devastated as Ray and insisted on coming to the funeral, which was another reason why he felt he should go again for at least one more year. By the time he'd packed his case he was feeling more resolved to the two weeks ahead and was even looking forward to it. He knew Tony would have agreed since he never believed in being morbid for long. Both guys had lost their parents several years ago and when they announced they were gay and loved each other at the age of sixteen, both sets of parents accepted their sexuality without question. It was 1982 at the beginning of the AIDs crisis and being gay was not accepted by the majority of society at that time but they were not prepared to hide their sexuality and went everywhere together.

At age eighteen they rented a room and lived together with the blessing of their parents. Once the agency was established they bought a flat in Hampstead which is where Ray still lived. He loved the flat and he loved Hampstead so had no intention of moving despite the constant memories of his beloved Tony. If anything it was those that kept him going and he knew Tony would have done the same had it been the other way round. They rented a small office for the agency above a baker's shop in the High Street which to this day was still owned by the same person so each morning they'd call in and purchase hot rolls for their lunch. All in all, it was a wonderful life; they'd enjoyed working together and enjoyed their personal life, especially their sex which right up to the time Tony died was very active. Quite what Ray was going to do now, he wasn't sure.

With everything packed he loaded his Volvo S60 and set off for Brighton. He loved driving and so much preferred using the car than travelling by train despite the traffic but with music playing he was content. Just under two and a half hours later he was parking outside the hotel. Felipe came rushing out to greet him and took his bags. There was an emotional hug plus a kiss on the lips.

"It's so good to see you Ray; how are you coping?"

"Okay; everyone's been very supportive but as Tony would say, life has to go on."

"True; he was a wonderful guy so at least you've got happy memories. Anyhow come on in and let's get you settled in. You did say you wanted your usual room didn't you."

Ray said he did because the rear south facing first floor rooms had balconies on which you could sunbathe if you didn't want to go down to the beach which was only a few minutes' walk away and he had a feeling he'd be spending several hours doing that to relax. Having checked him in and issued the room key, Felipe picked up Ray's case and led him up to his room.

"There's a bottle of white wine in the fridge for you and if you need anything or someone to talk to give me a call."

"Thanks Felipe, you're a star." Ray took his hand and gave him a kiss on the lips.

When Felipe had left him, Ray unpacked. The sun was shining so he slipped off his T shirt and walked out onto the balcony. It was small but large enough to accommodate two sun loungers or two sun bed mattresses which Ray and Tony had always preferred. He stood at the railing and looked out over the garden. He loved this view since there was a gap between the buildings that provided a view of the sea beyond. The buildings were side on so no windows looked over the garden or the balconies which meant Ray and Tony had been able to sunbathe in the nude. His mind went back to the year before. Tony had been in his usual high spirits enjoying the freedom away from their busy work lives. Had anyone said then that he'd be here on his own a year later he'd have laughed at them, yet here he was, all alone.

"Hi" a voice suddenly called out. Ray turned and saw a young guy sitting on a sun bed mattress on the balcony of the adjoining room.

"Ah, sorry, I was deep in thought" he replied and moved over to the railing that divided the two balconies. The young man jumped up and held out his hand. As Ray shook it he couldn't stop himself from admiring the young guy's beautiful body; he was stark naked and clearly not bothered about showing it off.

"I'm Brendan; it's good to meet you."

"Ray; and you."

"This is a great place isn't it? I only arrived an hour ago so thought I'd enjoy the sunshine before going out to explore later."

"Yes, my partner and I have been coming here for the past twenty years; we were Felipe's first customers."

"Wow, I hadn't realised it had been open so long; I was only five then."

"We were thirty and he was twenty-five."

"Is your partner not with you?"

"Sadly not; he passed away four months ago rather suddenly."

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry; you must be devastated. How long were you together?"

"We first met when we were both ten years old and started living together at age eighteen."

"Wow, that's some achievement."

They looked at each other for a moment wondering what to say. Ray glanced at Brendan's large cock hanging idly between his legs. He so reminded him of his Tony with his beautiful muscular body, blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He hadn't looked at another guy since that tragic day but there was something about Brendan that turned him on.

"I've got a bottle of white wine chilling in the fridge; would you like a glass."

"I'd love one; shall I hop over?"

"Yeah, why not." The thought of having a gorgeous naked twenty-five-year-old up close and personal sent a tingle of excitement through his body which was something he'd not felt since Tony had died. Brendan grabbed the towel he'd been lying on and vaulted over the low railing with ease. Ray grabbed the bottle of wine from the fridge plus two glasses and joined him on the balcony. "Would you mind if I joined you and sunbathed in the nude?"

"Of course not; by the look of things you've got a body that's worth showing off."

"Thanks" Ray grinned and looked again at the beautiful naked body standing before him as he slipped off his jeans and close fitting boxer shorts.

Brendan admired Ray's sleek body and suddenly realised who he was. "I've just read about you in the Equity Magazine. You own RA Theatrical Agency which you and your partner formed when you were both twenty."

Ray smiled. Following Tony's sudden death, the magazine had done an article on their life together and how they came to form their theatrical agency. "How come you read the Equity Magazine?"

"I'm a theatre dresser and have dressed several actors who you manage. It's a great privilege to meet you. Can I kiss you?"

Ray was taken aback at Brendan's enthusiasm which again reminded him of Tony who was much the same so he put the bottle and the glasses down. Brendan wrapped his arms round Ray's naked body and kissed him full on the lips. Ray couldn't stop his hand from traversing up and down Brendan's back and eventually rubbing it over his naked butt. The guy was just beautiful and he felt his cock twitch with excitement.

"I can't believe this; it's wonderful to meet you, especially like this" Brendan grinned and looked down at what Ray had to offer which was not insignificant.

Ray smiled. "Yeah well, you've seen everything there is to see, warts and all."

"Come off it mate; you've got a beautiful body. I hope I look as good as you when I'm your age."

"Now you're flattering me" Ray giggled as he laid out two sun bed mattresses for them to lie on and enjoy their wine which was getting warmer by the minute. They both sat down and Ray poured the wine giving a glass to his new friend.

"Here's to us and I hope life will be good for you from now on."

Ray thanked him and they clinked glasses. He really liked Brendan and hoped he'd get to know him better. They talked about how he'd become a theatre dresser which had always been his ambition so as soon as he left school at the age of sixteen he applied to a local theatre. He got the job and now worked for a theatre agency dressing actors and repairing or adjusting costumes since he had good skills when it came to needlework and using a sewing machine.

"I was bullied mercilessly at school because I loved making my own clothes or changing those bought for me and as you see I am somewhat effeminate so that didn't help and received the usual jibes about being gay. When I did realise I was gay I came out in style and said `fuck you too' whenever another boy made snide remarks. Somehow it got me through without too much bother."

Ray liked his approach which again was very much like Tony's in the early days. The likeness was uncanny and the more he heard about Brendan, the more he liked him.

When they'd finished off the bottle of wine they settled back on their mattress and enjoyed the warmth of the sun on their naked bodies. As they lay there Brendan said he also volunteered for a charity that provided a befriending service to older gay guys who lived alone and were lonely or had lost their partners so were now on their own.

"That's wonderful and must be a very rewarding job" Ray said and then added, more as a joke than anything else "perhaps you can befriend me now I'm living alone".

"It would be my pleasure; I believe you live in Hampstead; I'm only ten minutes or so by bike from where I live in Swiss Cottage."

Ray said he'd like that and would enjoy Brendan's company. He also learnt that he shared a rented flat with a straight guy but fortunately the guy had no problem with gays so he could bring guys back when he wanted.

"Not that I do very often" Brendan added soulfully.

"Don't you have a boyfriend?"

"Nope; to be honest I get on better with older guys than I do those of my age. Whenever I've met a guy my age we go out for a few weeks and then he moves on; it must be me I suppose."

"I doubt it is; you're a charming and vivacious guy, apart from being very good looking."

"Now who's flattering" Brendan laughed although he enjoyed the compliment and decided he definitely liked Ray.

"Do you fancy joining me for a meal this evening; my treat." He knew that theatre dressers were not highly paid so imagined money was tight.

"I'd love to, thanks; I don't know Brighton but an actor I've been dressing for my last show recommended it although the hotel he suggested cost a fortune so I found this place on the net and saw all the reviews were good so took the plunge and booked."

"It's one of the longest running gay bed and breakfast places in Brighton and Felipe is wonderful."

"Does he have a partner?"

"He used to but the guy ran off with a younger guy after they'd been together for ten years so he's decided he's better off on his own."

Ray said he needed a shower so they agreed to go out for a meal in half an hour. He'd already suggested an Italian restaurant he knew and Brendan said that was fine. As Ray showered he thought about the young man next door. Having loved and lived with Tony for so many years he'd never imagined he'd fall for another guy yet here he was thinking about a delightful young man the other side of the wall. Okay he was young and gorgeous but it was more than that. Brendan was intelligent, easy to get on with and delightful and he so reminded him of Tony. "Don't be stupid, he won't be interested in a guy twice his age" he said out loud. But, Brendan had said he liked and got on better with older guys.

Next door, Brendan was having similar thoughts. He was really taken with Ray. He had a lovely personality, was intelligent, witty and appeared to like him. "I've got two whole weeks to find out" he chuckled as he washed between his legs and gave his excited cock a few strokes to keep it happy.

Exactly half an hour after Brendan had vaulted back into his balcony, there was a knock on the door. Ray liked punctuality so that was another bonus point for Brendan.

"All ready?" Ray grinned as he opened the door.

"Yep; I take it casual dress is okay for this place we're going to."

Ray said it was and that Brendan looked fine. He in fact looked gorgeous in his tight fitting jeans and casual shirt that had two buttons undone to show off some of his naked chest. He smiled and guessed other guys would be jealous once they saw them together.

Downstairs they met Felipe who gave Ray a knowing smile when he saw him with the delectable Brendan. "Have a goodnight out guys" he grinned.

"We will, thank you Felipe" Ray grinned hoping that Brendan didn't notice.

They went to an Italian restaurant which Ray and Tony had been frequenting for several years and Brendan loved it. When it came to pay the bill he offered his share but Ray told him to put his wallet away.

"Are you up for going to a gay bar?" Ray asked as they made their way out. Brendan said he certainly was and was happy to go to one which attracted mainly mature guys. "We can go to one of the younger guys' bars another night if you want."

Brendan smiled and said nothing. He much preferred mature guys so was not interested in the bars with screaming guys stuffing themselves with drugs. The bar Ray took him to was one of the more established gay bars and was already busy by the time they got in. Ray was greeted by several guys, some of whom had heard of his tragic news so gave him a big hug and a kiss whilst others asked where Tony was so he had to explain what had happened. As he chatted to guys, several gave Brendan the eye and one even whispered "Is this gorgeous young guy your new boyfriend?"

"If only" Ray laughed and explained they'd only just met at the guesthouse they were both staying in.

Brendan enjoyed chatting to guys and enjoyed Ray's company. The more he got to know him the more he liked the guy and knew he wanted to get even closer if he could. He just hoped that Tony's shadow didn't spoil that although he had a feeling Ray had come to terms with his loss despite them being together for so long.

"I'm going to make a move" Ray whispered to Brendan at around ten thirty. Brendan immediately said he'd join him and Ray asked "Don't you want to stay longer?"

"I'd rather come back with you" Brendan grinned. Ray was happy for him to do that so they squeezed their way through the throng of guys and made their way back to the guesthouse. When they reached their rooms, Brendan pulled Ray into a kiss. "I've really enjoyed this evening."

"So have I" Ray replied and patted Brendan's butt which caused his whole body to shiver with excitement. He couldn't explain why he was feeling like this but there was something about Brendan which really turned him on. `For heaven's sake; the guy I loved with all my heart only died four months ago and here I am drooling over a guy half my age' he told himself. Brendan smiled and his piercing blue eyes made Ray's heart melt. He made no attempt to say goodnight or move to his room and Ray had a strong feeling he was waiting for something to happen or be said. "Would you like to join me for a whiskey?"

Brendan immediately said he'd love to which was what he'd hoped would happen. He was bewitched by this beautiful older man and just knew he had to see if he could take matters further. Ray unlocked his door and the younger man followed him in. Once inside Ray kicked off his shoes and Brendan did the same. The room was still warm from the afternoon sun so Ray unbuttoned his shirt down the front and Brendan slipped his shirt off. Just seeing the younger man's beautiful smooth chest made Ray's cock twitch with excitement. He hadn't felt like this for a long time even though he and Tony enjoyed a very good sex life right up to his final day.

Brendan slumped down on the comfy bed and watched Ray open the bottle of whiskey. "This place is so comfortable, isn't it" he commented.

"It's why Tony and I loved coming here every year; it's the perfect break."

When he'd poured two generous measures he gave Brendan his and pondered whether to sit on the edge of the bed or join Brendan who was now reclining against the headboard using a pillow to support him. Although his mind told him to do the former, his body said the latter so he joined Brendan on the bed. For a few moments they sipped their drinks in silence. Brendan was aching to make something happen between them but felt he should wait for Ray to make the first move in view of his loss. After a few moments Ray placed a hand on Brendan's thigh. He had a feeling the young guy was waiting for him to make the first move so decided to do just that. As he lightly ran his hand up and down the smooth firm thigh he thought of Tony. `I'm sure he would tell me to go for it' he told himself. Brendan enjoyed the feel of Ray's warm hand on his leg and it caused his cock to react inside his tight briefs. Ray glanced into Brendan's crotch and noticed the bulge so decided to move his hand onto it.

"Mm" he groaned and felt his cock go even harder.

"You like that" Ray chuckled.

"Yeah; I'd like it even more if I could expose it."

"What's stopping you then?" Ray giggled and took another swig from his whiskey which was now making him feel warm inside.

"Are you sure?"

"Are you really asking a guy my age if he wants to see a naked guy half his age; of course I do" he chuckled.

Brendan grinned and immediately unfastened his jeans, removed them and then slipped off his tight briefs. Once naked, his cock sprang to life and Ray grasped it.

"Ah, fuck" Brendan groaned enjoying the feel of Ray's hand round his naked cock. "Aren't you going to join me?" he grinned. Ray said he wasn't going to turn that invitation down so immediately stripped off. His own cock was now hard so Brendan took hold of it. They spent several minutes gently massaging each other as they sipped their whiskey.

"What kind of sex do you like?"

"I love all kinds; being fucked as well as fucking, sucking cock, rimming and having the same done to me so feel free to do whatever you want."

"Quite sure?"

"If I wasn't I wouldn't be lying here naked with a beautiful older guy; I told you I much prefer mature guys and that includes sex with them so do whatever turns you on."

"Just looking at you turns me on" Ray grinned as he manoeuvred himself so he could suck Brendan's cock which was bobbing up and down. He'd always been good at taking head and this young guy had a nice size cock to get right inside his mouth. As he sucked, Brendan made sounds of enjoyment. He'd always found that older guys could suck cock much better than younger less experienced guys. Just as he thought he was going to reach his climax, Ray stopped. "How about I fuck you."

Brendan glanced down at Ray's big hard cock and took an intake of breath. What he saw was beautiful and he certainly wanted to feel that inside his arse. "Yes please; have you got condoms and lube?"

"Of course; I always come prepared" Ray laughed as he pulled what he needed out of the bedside cabinet. "Do you like poppers?"

"Yeah but that's all I do."

"Very wise; I understand the scene these days is full of chemsex which is unwise in my view."

"Too true which is why I don't have sex with younger guys; you mature guys know how to have fun without drugs."

Ray smiled as he prepared his stiff cock. He wasn't sure that applied to all older guys but he and Tony had always kept well away from the temptation although when they were younger they did dabble with coke. With his cock suitably sheathed and lubricated, he told Brendan to go on his knees. He raised the young guy's butt to the right height and offered the large head of his cock to the beautiful entrance before him. He pulled the butt cheeks apart to open it up and gently pushed in. Brendan let out more long sighs of enjoyment as the cock slowly filled him up.

"Oh god that feels so good."

Ray smiled and pushed the length of his big cock right inside until he felt his pubic hair brushing against Brendan's naked flesh. He then proceeded to fuck him, slowly increasing the pace until he was thrusting in and out with gusto. He hadn't fucked since Tony had died and he was desperate although up to now he'd not realised how much he'd missed doing so.

"You've got such a beautiful arse to fuck."

"And your cock feels so perfect inside it" Brendan groaned. His whole body was on fire. He took another sniff of poppers and felt it rush to his head. He passed the bottle to Ray who did the same. As the rush filled his head he fucked even harder. He was able to fuck for several long minutes until he reached his climax and he had every intention of getting the most out of this fuck.

After several more minutes of fucking he felt his climax coming. He could have slowed down to make it last longer but he was desperate to feel that moment of complete pleasure as he shot his load. "Ah fuck" he yelled as his semen filled the latex. He'd have preferred to be fucking bareback as he and Tony had done since they'd always been monogamous but he knew that was not possible.

When he was spent, he slowly pulled out and removed the used condom. Brendan turned round and took the spent cock into his mouth to drain it. Ray loved the feel of the hot mouth round his naked cock. When he'd finished, Ray went down on Brendan's which was still hard. He took the full length into his mouth and sucked until he could taste the young man's beautiful creamy cum fill his mouth. He'd been tempted to get Brendan to fuck him but decided they'd gone far enough for one night.

Brendan was soon spilling his load as Ray sucked until he was drained dry. He never objected to being sucked off like this and Ray was a master. When they were done, they grinned at each other.

"Thanks; that was beautiful" Brendan said. Ray nodded; it certainly was and he hoped it wouldn't be the last even though he felt bad about having sex with another guy so soon after losing Tony but he kept on telling himself that if Tony was looking down on him he'd be urging him on.

When Brendan had gone back to his own room, Ray lay in bed wondering whether he'd done the right thing by encouraging the younger guy. The problem was that his body told him he needed comfort as well as the sexual needs but his mind kept on thinking about Tony and that he was doing something he'd never before done. Because they'd met so young and known they were right for each other, he'd never been with another guy or had sex with one and as far as he was aware, neither had Tony. He kept asking himself whether Tony would approve and whether he'd be doing the same if it had been the other way round. Eventually he decided he would approve and would have done the same, so settled down to sleep with the pleasant thoughts of the beautiful guy next door which caused another erection.

Next door, Brendan was going over in his mind what had happened earlier. There was no doubt in his mind that he really liked Ray and he'd go as far as saying that he was the most perfect guy he'd ever met. The question was whether or not Ray would want to continue their liaison and if it did, whether it would go beyond being just a holiday fling. He so hoped so as he gently massaged his erection thinking back to Ray's big cock inside him.

When the morning came, both guys felt rested so showered and dressed for breakfast. Just as Ray was about to go down, there was a knock on the door. He opened it and found Brendan standing there.

"I was wondering if you'd like to join me for breakfast" he smiled. Ray's heartstrings pinged as he said he most definitely would. As they were about to go, a young guy came bounding along the corridor.

"Hello, I'm Anton; I will make beds and clean bathroom whilst you at breakfast" he said in broken English. Both guys stopped in their tracks because apart from a pair of trainers, the only other item of clothing that Anton had on was a tight fitting pair of mini shorts, the front of which was showing a large bulge. The rest of his tanned body was on full show for all to see.

"Wow, he's certainly well hung" Brendan chuckled as they made their way downstairs to the dining room.

"Good morning guys; did we sleep well" Felipe asked as they walked in. Both said they did and when he noticed they were sharing a table he smiled wondering whether they'd slept together. For Brendan's benefit, he explained the procedure which involved the guest deciding what they wanted for breakfast and then helping themselves to cereal if required whilst the order was being cooked. Both said they'd like the full English breakfast with tea and toast. Whilst Brendan went to the self-service table to get what cereal he wanted, Felipe moved closer to Ray and whispered "You're looking a lot brighter than you were yesterday; could that be because of a certain young man you went out with last night?"

Ray grinned and tapped his nose as if to say "Mind your own business".

"And where has Anton come from?" Ray chuckled.

Felipe blushed and explained that the previous cleaner, a guy called George, had moved on so he'd hired Anton. "He's rather gorgeous isn't he."

"And well hung" Ray added with a chuckle.

"He's been with me for six months now and is brilliant; he's also multi-talented so a great asset."

"I bet he is with that package" Ray laughed.

Felipe moved in closer and whispered "I have to agree he's brilliant in bed and that cock of his is to die for. I really believe I might have found Mr Right."

"Ah, so he's a living in cleaner is he" Ray chuckled as he read between the lines. Felipe nodded and felt his cock go hard just thinking about Anton. "Well, I'm very pleased for you Felipe; it's time you found someone to love and cherish so I hope he is the one."

Felipe thanked him and said he too was pleased that Ray had found a young man to pass the time of day. By this time Brendan had returned guessing that he'd been the topic of conversation since he'd noticed Felipe's expression the night before and again that morning when he saw him and Ray together.

When Felipe served their full English he told Ray that Ross sent his best wishes and his condolences for his loss. Ross had been the breakfast chef at the guesthouse for many years and always produced excellent food. In the evenings he was chef at another café in the town where Ray and Tony had often frequented in days gone by.

"So, what are your plans today?" Brendan asked as he tucked into his bacon, egg, sausage and tomato which was delicious.

"I hadn't really thought about it to be honest but I'm happy to show you around as you don't know Brighton."

Brendan's face lit up since he rather hoped Ray would offer that so immediately accepted the offer. Once they'd finished breakfast they went back to their rooms and found that Anton had indeed made their bed and cleaned the bathroom. The guesthouse had six double rooms in all and during the peak season was always full.

They spent the morning wandering round Brighton and Ray showed Brendan the town centre, the main gay areas and the pier. At lunchtime they stopped at a gay bar for a snack which Brendan insisted on paying for so Ray let him and in the afternoon Ray took him along to the Royal Pavilion. Since Ray hadn't been round it for several years, they did a tour which Brendan found very interesting. By late afternoon, they decided to make their way back to the guesthouse. The sun was still shining so their small balconies were bathed in sun.

"Would you like to join me on mine again and sunbathe in the nude?" Ray asked rather hoping that his young friend would agree. He did, so he hastily went to his own room, stripped off and hopped over the low railing between their balconies. Ray again admired his beautiful body and felt his react as they made themselves comfortable on the sunbed mattresses. They'd also purchased a pack of beers on their way back so opened two cans and enjoyed them as they lazed naked in the sunshine.

"This is so perfect" Brendan said and propped himself up on his elbow so he could look at Ray. They smiled at each other as they sipped their beers and after a while, Brendan gently stroked Ray's thigh. "You really do have a beautiful body" he commented enjoying the feel of Ray's skin.

Ray smiled as he enjoyed the young man's hand stroking his thigh up and down. His cock was already showing signs of interest and as the action continued it slowly hardened. "You're making me go hard" he giggled hoping that the hand would eventually feel his rising organ.

"Would you like me to make it harder?" Brendan chuckled. Ray nodded enthusiastically so Brendan took hold of the organ and ran it through his fingers. It was soon fully erect and Brendan admired its beauty. He so wanted to feel that inside him again but was not sure how to suggest it. Instead he moved forward and took the big head into his mouth and gently sucked it. Ray found the touch just beautiful and laid back enjoying the slow massage by Brendan's hot tongue. The cock was too big for Brendan to take fully into his mouth so he caressed the large head with his mouth and then licked up and down the thick long shaft. Having done that for a few minutes, he licked Ray's large balls and took each one into his mouth to suck it.

"Ah fuck yes that feels so good" Ray gasped. Even Tony hadn't managed to produce feelings of euphoria like this. He much preferred feeling the cock inside him so Ray spent most of his time fucking him. Brendan seemed to know precisely what turned a guy on and his technique was perfect.

"Can I suck you off?" Brendan asked.

"Provided you fuck me afterwards" Ray grinned. Brendan was certainly up for that so he went back to sucking the large head until it was spewing copious amounts of creamy cum into his mouth. He loved the taste of cum so always swallowed it whenever a guy came in his mouth and Ray's was no exception.

Several minutes later, Ray was writhing up and down as his climax reached its point of no return. He knew then and there that he wanted this fling to continue after their holiday. When he was spent, Brendan licked the large head clean and looked up at Ray with a satisfied grin.

"That was fucking perfect; thank you."

"You've got a fucking brilliant cock to do it with" Brendan chuckled. "Where do you want me to fuck you?"

Ray said he felt it would be more comfortable on the bed so they made their way inside and laid on his back having given Brendan a condom and lube. He lifted his legs to expose his arse and to his surprise, Brendan immediately thrust his face into it to give him a good rimming. He then pulled the hole wide open and thrust his tongue inside causing Ray to squirm with pleasure. Next came two lubricated fingers to open him up soon to be followed by Brendan's cock which was now rock hard and ready to go. Both sniffed poppers as he fucked and he too was able to keep the action going for several minutes before spilling his load inside the latex. Over the years he'd learnt a lot from older guys on how to make sex last instead of a quick fuck which ended too quickly. Both guys clearly enjoyed the action and when all was done, Brendan collapsed on top of Ray and kissed him. The kiss became far more passionate than any other had been in the short time they'd known each other and both were eager for more.

Later, they went out for a meal together and Ray took Brendan to a Turkish restaurant. This time he insisted on paying his own way which Ray accepted. Afterwards they went to a different gay bar and then onto a gay club. It was small and one of the longest running in Brighton. Ray liked it because it was small and didn't have a large dance floor with loud music. Instead, it consisted of one room which was in semidarkness and a small bar in another room. Brendan also liked it and when they'd bought their drinks they made their way into the semidarkness. They kissed and felt each other as the low level music played. Brendan loved the erotic atmosphere so was very happy.

At two in the morning they made their way back to the guesthouse. They were well lubricated and ended up in Ray's bed. When they woke in the morning they looked at each other and smiled.

"My fucking head is spinning" Brendan grinned.

"Perhaps a fuck would take your mind off it" Ray laughed. Brendan agreed so turned over and enjoyed the feel of Ray's big cock inside him.

They spent the next few days socialising, eating and sleeping together. Brendan only used his room to collect clean clothes since they also showered together. Anton noticed that Brendan's room had hardly been used and commented to Felipe although he too had noticed that the two guys were always together and guessed they slept with each other too. The more time they spent with each other the more they both realised they wanted the relationship to continue.

At the end of their first week, Felipe had a friendly word with Ray since he and Tony had been good friends for many years. "You and Brendan seem to have really hit it off, I'm so pleased for you Ray."

"I worry whether I'm making a fool of myself; I'm double his age and Tony's not been buried long."

"Do you love him?"

Ray nodded. "That's the problem, I've fallen head over heels for him and I'm still not sure what Tony would say."

"That's easy; from my knowledge of Tony he'd say go for it because all he'd want is for you to be happy. You've got to move on Ray. I'm not saying you forget Tony because you never will; you were together too long for that but it doesn't mean you've got to put your life on hold. What happened to Tony was tragic but from what I can see you've got another chance to be just as happy."

Ray nodded but he still found it hard to accept he'd fallen in love with a guy half his age and whether he could convince himself that he wasn't being unfaithful to the man he'd loved for so many years.

"Does Brendan love you do you think?"

Ray wasn't sure but from the way the young man treated him, spoke to him and made love to him, made Ray think that Brendan loved him as much as he did in return despite neither actually saying it.

"I take it you're sleeping together" Felipe grinned. Ray nodded with a big satisfied grin on his face. "Why don't you ask Brendan to move into your room so you can spend the final week of your holiday as a proper couple."

"I'm not one hundred percent sure he feels the same way; he appears to but nothing has been said as such."

"Perhaps you should do so and test him out then you'll know where you stand."

Ray agreed so decided to take the plunge. "Thanks Felipe; you'd make a perfect marriage counsellor" he laughed.

"It's not the first time I've given guys the nudge to make things happen" Felipe laughed.

Ray went back upstairs to find Brendan who was in his room. He knocked on the door and a worried Brendan opened it. "Ah, here you are; I was wondering what had happened to you. Is everything okay?"

Ray smiled and took Brendan into his arms. "Yeah, fine" he smiled before giving the young man a kiss on the lips. "Felipe has noticed that we've been spending all our time together and that you've not been using your room."

"Ah; is that a problem?"

"Far from it, in fact he's wondering if you'd like to move in to mine for our last week. He says he can re-let the room and give you a refund if you're interested but it's your choice."

Brendan looked at Ray trying to determine his thoughts. "Would you be happy if I did move in with you?"

Ray told Brendan to sit down on the bed beside him, took hold of his hand and looked into his eyes. "I'd like to ask you a question and I'd like you to be totally honest." Brendan nodded wondering what it was. "Do you have feelings for me?"

"Of course I do and I was hoping you did for me. Was I mistaken?"

"No; despite having recently buried the guy I loved and lived with for thirty years, I've fallen madly in love with you Brendan. I keep asking myself whether it's a rebound from the shock of Tony's death but I don't think it is. I also keep telling myself I'm twice your age and am not interested in a holiday romance which fizzles out once we go home. I enjoy your company and of course the sex but I'm not sure I could cope with another major upset in my life at present so I want to be sure of your feelings before things go too far."

Brendan put a finger on Ray's lips to stop him. He didn't want him to say anything he might regret later. "I fell for you the moment I saw you standing on the balcony. I don't give a fuck that you're twice my age. As I've told you, I much prefer older guys and until meeting you had never found a guy who I felt I could give my heart to but there's something about you Ray that has stirred up all my emotions. I too enjoy your company, in fact I love everything about you, and of course the sex is fantastic but I'm looking for more than that. I too have fallen madly in love with you Ray but up to now didn't want to put you under any pressure knowing what you've been through these last few months. I have no idea what it must be like to lose someone you've loved for so many years but I can imagine it must be hell. That's why I've not said anything and although it's only a week since we met it seems so much longer to me. Does that answer your question?"

Ray smiled and kissed Brendan. For a few moments it became passionate and both felt a stirring in their loins.

"So, would you like to move into my room and let Felipe re-let this one?"

"I thought you'd never ask" Brendan grinned and immediately started packing his things. Ray said he'd go and tell Felipe whilst he did so.

"And? Does he love you? Felipe grinned.

"Seems he does despite the age difference."

"I'd have been surprised if he didn't. I can see it in his eyes and in the way he looks at you. Just see how things go Ray. It may not be an easy ride for you but love seldom is."

When Ray returned upstairs he found Brendan waiting for him with a pile of clothes over his arm and his suitcase sitting beside him. Anton was flitting around and gave him a big grin when he heard. Ray gave Brendan the second room key Felipe had issued and helped him in. Once everything was in place they left to go for a walk along the beach. The more they talked, the more Brendan knew he'd made the right decision. Ray still wasn't totally sure he wanted another lover despite his body telling him he did.

They spent the last week of their holiday like two new lovers. They did everything together and enjoyed every minute. Both were sad when it came to an end knowing they'd be going back to their separate homes and lives. Ray offered to drive Brendan home instead of using the train despite having a return fare. Brendan jumped at the offer so he could be with Ray for longer.

As they neared London, Ray asked "Do you have anything to rush home for?"

Brendan said he didn't apart from doing his holiday washing but that could wait so Ray asked if he'd like to go back to his place and go home after lunch the next day. Brendan jumped at the offer and patted Ray's knee which did nothing to quell his physical excitement.

When they reached Ray's flat and they'd parked the car in his allocated parking space, they unloaded their suitcases and made their way to the flat which was on the second floor. Brendan was impressed with it and realised how small and rundown the place he lived in was by comparison but it was all he could afford. Ray led him into the large double bedroom that overlooked the gardens. Everything about the place was just perfect and for a brief moment he imagined living there. He unpacked what he needed for one night and watched Ray empty his suitcase. Every so often they smiled at each other and Ray felt happy.

"Let's have a drink" Ray said and led Brendan into the large living room that had a kitchen off to one side in its own alcove. Brendan was again impressed and admired the décor. He also noticed several photographs of Ray and another equally good looking guy who he assumed was Tony. He was tempted to say something but decided against it not wanting to spoil the atmosphere because he could sense that Ray was feeling happy.

They sat on the sofa and placed their drinks on a side table before collapsing into a very passionate kiss. As it continued, Ray thought back to the early years he and Tom had lived there. They'd never been able to stop kissing and cuddling using every opportunity to do so. Both had the making of an erection which was soon straining to be released.

"How about we go next door?" Ray grinned. Brendan nodded and grabbed his drink. Once in the bedroom they undressed each other as they kissed. By the time they were naked, hard cocks were rubbing excitedly against each other.

"Fuck me" Brendan whispered and went on all fours on the end of the bed. Ray grabbed a condom and lube, prepared his rampant organ and gently slipped it inside of Brendan's beautiful arse. Both let out loud sighs of satisfaction as the long cock filled Brendan's channel. When it was fully inside he slowly fucked. As always he kept the action going for several minutes before finally releasing his load. As he did so he brought Brendan to his climax which ended in him filling Ray's hand with his load of cum.

That evening when they went to bed, Brendan sat on Ray's organ and rode it as they sniffed poppers. Brendan enjoyed being in control and watching Ray's reaction. Eventually he sensed that Ray was about to shoot his load so he slowed the pace to make it last longer. Finally, Ray yelled that he was coming so Brendan increased his movement up and down enjoying the feeling it gave him. Once satisfied, Ray grabbed hold of Brendan's erection and brought it to a climax. As usual, Brendan produced copious ribbons of creamy cum which discharged over Ray's chest.

"I hope you're going to clean that up" Ray laughed when Brendan was finally spent. Without saying anything, Brendan bent over and licked Ray clean. He loved the taste of his lover and savoured it in his mouth.

Being a Sunday the following day, they enjoyed their time in bed when they woke and satisfied each other's morning erections. This time Ray fucked Brendan from behind and when he'd shot his load, Brendan fucked Ray.

When they'd finished their lunch, Ray took Brendan home despite neither of them wanting to part company but both had work to go to the next day so there was no option. They agreed to keep in contact but as Ray drove home he wandered whether his new young lover would in fact do so once he was home and back into his usual routines. He still couldn't quite believe that Brendan had no other lover since the guy was very attractive and desirable. When he got home he walked into his empty flat and sat down. He picked up a photo of him and Tony and gazed at it for several minutes.

"Am I a big fool my love?" he asked out loud. "I so loved you and will never forget you my love but the thought of living alone is unbearable so I hope you'll forgive me for finding another lover. I'm sure you'd approve of Brendan if you met him; he's so like you which is why I've fallen in love with him."

As he sat there he felt tears falling down his face. He knew it was still early days but he wondered whether he'd ever fully get over his loss but as Felipe had told him, he had to move on.

When Ray arrived at the office on the Monday morning Julian was all over him and asking whether he'd had a wonderful holiday. Ray had pondered whether or not to mention Brendan but decided against it for the moment. For all he knew he'd never see him again so there seemed little point. They went through what had occurred during his absence and as usual Julian had coped very well. There'd only been one query he couldn't deal with and he'd emailed Ray about that. It reminded him that he needed to review Julian's salary since he'd no doubt be doing more now that Tony had gone and it was just the pair of them in the office. Their client base continued to increase as existing clients recommended their services to others so Ray knew at some point in time he may need another assistant but that could wait for the time being.

Throughout the day, Ray thought about Brendan in between making calls and dealing with paperwork. Each time he wondered whether he'd hear from him again and whether he should make the next contact or not. Whenever he asked himself that question he decided he'd leave Brendan to make the first call in case he felt he was being hounded.

Little did he know that similar thoughts were going through Brendan's mind as he undertook his daily tasks most of which were in the evening when the shows were on. His hours of work were variable according to which shows he had to attend to dress his actors and he had to deal with the upkeep of the costumes which included cleaning and repairing as necessary apart from making new costumes as required. On the Monday evening he was working so had no time to call Ray and he hadn't wanted to disturb him at his place of work. On the Tuesday he was again working that evening but he found a period of free time during the morning. He called Ray's office and a stranger answered the phone whom he guessed was Julian who sounded very camp.

"Who's calling?" Julian asked.

"Brendan. Ray knows me" he replied not wanting to give too much away in case Ray had not mentioned him. Eventually the call was put through to Ray.

"Hi my love" Brendan said breezily, "How are things?"

"Fine, and with you?"

"Yeah; busy with new show so lots of costumes to prepare and adapt. Any chance of meeting up? I could drop by tomorrow evening on my way home if you don't mind me being late or I could call on my way to the theatre around five."

Ray thought for a moment and decided that earlier would be better than later so invited Brendan to join him for a meal before he went off to the fringe theatre he had to go to that evening. Fortunately, it wasn't far and Ray said he'd drive him there to save time. With that agreed, they finished the call and continued their work with both having a stirring down below as they thought about each other. Ray had suggested that Brendan come to the office since his bus stopped nearby and Ray would drive them both home. This time, Ray warned Julian that Brendan was coming to avoid any awkward moments. When he arrived Julian stopped working for a moment to admire the beautiful guy standing there asking for Ray. Despite having his own boyfriend who he lived with, he was always attracted to beautiful looking guys, especially those with piercing blue eyes. He asked Brendan to take a seat whilst he went into Ray's office. Normally he'd have picked up the internal phone but he had to say something about the gorgeous guy sitting outside.

"Brendan's arrived" he announced trying to hold back his excitement.

"Thanks; I'll be there in a moment once I've finished this email."

"He's gorgeous; who is he and where did you meet him?"

"Too many questions Julian" Ray laughed but decided to spill the beans so told him they'd met on holiday and had got to know each other rather well.

"Lucky you" Julian grinned.

"You have a gorgeous boyfriend of your own young man so hands off" Ray laughed. Julian grinned and was glad that Ray had found a possible replacement for Tony.

As soon as Ray appeared, Brendan wanted to rush forward and take Ray into his arms. Instead, Ray said "Hi" in a casual way and indicated for Brendan to follow him as he said goodnight to Julian.

"He's nice" Brendan commented once outside.

"He has a boyfriend who he lives with" Ray replied as he led Brendan to his car that was parked at the back.

"I'm not interested if that's what you're thinking; I told you, I'm only interested in sexy older men like you."

Ray smiled and kicked himself for being testy but he still couldn't come to terms with the fact that he'd fallen in love with this beautiful guy. The short drive home was spent in silence and Brendan made no attempt to break it guessing that Ray was still having difficulties with their relationship following Tony's death. When they were inside Ray's flat he stood waiting for him to make the first move. Suddenly Ray took Brendan into his arms and kissed him. It was passionate and Brendan's fears that Ray's love for him had waned during their short time apart melted away.

"If we had more time I'd take you to bed but food is probably more important" Ray grinned. Brendan was relieved to see again the guy he'd fallen in love with and followed him into the kitchen.

"Can I do anything to help?"

"I've made a meat pie which just needs heating up in the microwave with some chips; hope that's okay."

"Sounds delicious; perhaps I could lay the table."

Ray nodded as he took some frozen peas out of the freezer. It was times like this when his newly installed induction hob came into its own. Within a couple of minutes, the water was boiling so he tipped some peas into the pan.

As they ate, Ray questioned Brendan about the new play he was working with and the actors he was dressing. Brendan explained it was a gay comedy and one of the two actors he was dressing was gay. "He's somewhat full of himself but he's good. The other guy is cute and has a girlfriend. You could come along if you wanted. It's first night but I'm sure I could get you in."

Ray said he'd love to but had a pile of work papers to read so declined. By the time they'd finished their meal, Brendan had to leave so they dumped the dishes into the dishwasher and Ray drove him to the small fringe theatre. Before getting out of the car they kissed and Brendan said he'd ring in a day or two. When Ray got back home he again questioned out loud what he was doing with a lad half his age.

Brendan called two days later having not heard from Ray and they agreed to meet up on the Saturday after that evening's show. Ray said he'd collect him in the car so when Brendan walked out of the theatre he found Ray waiting for him. They again kissed which caused Brendan to have an erection; he'd been thinking about Ray all evening whilst he was dressing his two actors. Once inside the flat they were in each other's arms kissing and cuddling again. This time both had excited organs which needed attention. As it was now late they quickly undressed and got into bed. Brendan couldn't wait to feel Ray's big hard cock inside him and Ray couldn't wait to get it there.

"Oh god that feels so good" Brendan cried out once the whole length was inside him.

"Yeah, fucking brilliant" Ray yelled as he thrust back and forth. He too had been dreaming of this all evening despite his misgivings about encouraging the relationship which he was sure would end in due course.

They spent the following day together enjoying each other's company and in the evening, Ray drove Brendan home.

Over the next three months they spent every Sunday together and often a Friday night and Saturday up to when Brendan had to leave for work. On Brendan's days off they went to the cinema and on one evening went to the Royal Festival Hall to listen to a piano concert by a well-known pianist.

Ray still had doubts about the relationship because of the age difference and the fact that Tony was always beside him in spirit, so kept wondering whether or not he'd approve. Brendan could sense his unease but didn't want to give up because he loved Ray so much and knew if he could get him over that hurdle, their life together would be perfect. Then one Friday evening when he met Ray at his office, he sensed something was wrong. By this time, he'd got to know Julian who now recognised the love between the two guys and encouraged it.

"He's really depressed" Julian whispered. "He just can't seem to let Tony go but if you'd known Tony he was the kind of guy who'd have said `go for it; be happy and move on'. I'm really worried about him."

Brendan gently opened Ray's office door and slipped inside. No longer did he have to be announced and wait until Ray came out for him. He found his lover slumped in his chair looking down at his desk but doing nothing. Ray hardly looked up as he entered so he moved up behind him and put his arms round his shoulders as he placed a kiss on his cheek.

"What's wrong my love? You look depressed."

Ray nodded wondering what to say. He so loved Brendan but still wasn't sure if he was doing the right thing by encouraging him. "Are you sure you want a relationship with a guy twice your age and who can't get his long term lover out of his mind?"

Brendan knelt down on the floor beside Ray and took hold of his hands. "I thought we'd been through this but yes I do because I love you Ray; you're the best thing that has ever happened to me and I love you. I don't care about the age difference and I don't expect you to forget Tony. I just wish I'd known him because by all accounts he was a wonderful guy. What you've got to ask yourself is whether you love me because if you don't then I'll walk away and leave you to grieve for as long as you want."

Ray suddenly looked into Brendan's eyes. "But I do love you; I love you every bit as much as I loved Tony but I don't want you to have regrets later."

"I'm quite capable of making my own decisions despite being half your age you know" Brendan grinned. This made Ray smile. He'd kept asking himself if he was being a fool but he now realised he was but for the wrong reasons. Of course Ray was old enough to know what he was doing and there was no doubt that he was madly in love with Ray and wanted their relationship to work.

"I think you need a nice long massage" Brendan smiled.

"That sounds a wonderful idea; know anyone who could give me one?"

"I do as a matter of fact; me. I'm a qualified masseur and provide erotic massages for gay men amongst other things."

"Wow, a man of many talents" Ray grinned.

"You'd be surprised what I can do for a guy" Brendan laughed.

When they were in the car, Brendan asked Ray to drive to his bedsit so he could collect his massage equipment. He had a portable massage table and he needed the oil he used. On arrival, Ray was shocked at how small Brendan's room was and was amazed that he had the space to perform massage.

"It's tight but if I put the massage table up against the bed I can just about manage. I really need a bigger place but can't afford it."

When they'd gathered together the items he needed, they made their way out. Fortunately, his flat mate was not around so that avoided awkward questions about why he was taking his massage table out. With everything loaded in the car they made their way to Ray's flat. He suggested that Brendan set the massage table up in the third bedroom. It was small and designed for a single bed but Ray and Tony had never furnished it since they had the second double bedroom for guests when required so used this one for storage.

"Wow, this would make the perfect massage room" Brendan commented as he unfolded the table and laid a white towel across it.

As Ray watched him work, a thought went through his mind but he said nothing for the moment. Brendan suggested he give Ray the massage before they had their meal which was a chicken korma that Ray had purchased the day before so all it needed was heating up in the microwave. Since Tony's death he'd become lazy when it came to food since Tony tended to do all the cooking and Ray did the clearing up. Tony loved cooking so enjoyed it whereas Ray saw it as a necessity.

"Do you want a standard massage or an erotic one?" Brendan grinned hoping that Ray would opt for the latter.

"An erotic of course; and I take it you perform naked."

Brendan grinned and said of course so they both stripped off. He told Ray to lay face down on the bed to start with so Ray climbed onto the table and placed his head over the special hole for his face. He then felt Brendan's hands gently rub up and down his legs and it felt wonderful. It also caused his cock to go hard beneath him which added to the enjoyment. When he'd finished massaging his legs Ray then felt a hand move up the inside of each one and into his crotch. This made his cock go even harder as the hand felt his balls. Brendan had a gentle touch and it was wonderful.

He then massaged Ray's buttocks pulling them apart as he did so to open his entrance. He slipped a finger across it which caused Ray to groan with pleasure. After a while he moved to Ray's head and massaged his shoulders and down his back. As he did so he pressed his naked organ against Ray's soft hair.

"Lift your head and suck my cock" he instructed. Ray did so and took the hard organ into his mouth to give it a good suck.

Brendan moved to the side and told Ray to turn over. He then leaned over Ray's body pressing his erection against his naked flesh so Ray casually fondled it as Brendan massaged his nipples before running his hands down his legs and into his crotch clasping his balls in his hand. Ray found the whole experience very erotic and his cock was now jumping up and down with excitement. Brendan was tempted to take it into his mouth but resisted doing so. He'd never sucked a client off despite aching to do so but what he did intend doing with Ray was to fuck him when he'd finished the massage.

Ray closed his eyes and enjoyed the pleasurable experience. Brendan had the most wonderful touch and it caused his whole body to shiver with excitement. He took hold of Ray's rampant organ and gently massaged it although he didn't want to bring him to a climax just yet. After several minutes he told Ray to shuffle to the end of the massage table and lift his legs over his chest. His beautiful arse was now on view and he couldn't resist pressing his naked organ up against it.

"Have you ever experienced bareback sex?" he casually asked.

"Tony and I always fucked bareback. Why, do you want to fuck me raw?"

"Would you mind? I test regularly so know I'm okay."

"It's fine by me and I too test regularly not that I've had sex with any other guy other than you and Tony."

Brendan's whole body shook with excitement at the thought of inserting his naked cock into Ray's beautiful arse. He lubricated his shaft and gently pressed the head against the yielding hole. It slipped in with ease and he soon had it fully inside.

"Ah, fuck, that feels so beautiful."

"Sure does, so give that arse a good fuck and fill me up with your beautiful load of cum."

Brendan slowly fucked and gradually increased the pace until he was spilling his load. He now felt he belonged to Ray and all the worries about whether their relationship would continue slipped away.

"That was beautiful; I take it you don't fuck all your clients" Ray giggled when he got off the massage table.

"Sadly not despite wanting to do so sometimes but I'm very professional normally."

"You can give me a massage and fuck me to a conclusion whenever you want; that was just wonderful."

They hugged and kissed pressing their naked bodies against each other. The kiss became passionate and if they'd not wanted to eat they'd have gone to bed for more sex but their stomachs told them it was time to eat.

As they ate, Ray pondered the question he was now dying to ask but in the end decided to go for it.

"Would you like to move in with me; you could continue with your massage services and use the third bedroom as a massage parlour if you wished."

Brendan stopped eating and looked at Ray for a moment. "Are you serious?"

"Of course; I now feel we're made for each other and provided you don't mind me thinking about Tony every so often I think we'd be good for each other."

"I'd love to and I certainly don't mind you thinking about Tony; I'd be surprised if you didn't and I'd love to use the third bedroom as a massage room if you don't mind having clients here."

Ray said he was happy with that so they discussed the details. Brendan had to give a month's notice to vacate his bedsit but it was decided they'd collect his things on the Sunday and pay the month in cash. Brendan shot up and kissed Ray hardly believing what was happening.

"You're quite sure" he asked. Ray said he was having resolved his concerns about their relationship. He'd always been one to make quick decisions once he'd clarified in his own mind the ins and outs of a situation. Brendan was delighted because he'd often thought whether or not this would happen so his dream had come true.

"Do you enjoy your job?" Ray suddenly asked as they ate their dessert. Brendan said he did but sometimes found the erratic hours of working a pain. "I'm looking for a part-time assistant for the business because Julian is becoming overwhelmed now that Tony has gone. He's more comfortable with managing the office rather than dealing with clients so I'm looking for a personal assistant to ease my workload. If you were interested, you could work five mornings a week and continue your massage services in the afternoon if you wanted."

Brendan again stopped what he was doing and looked at Ray. He'd often thought of changing jobs despite enjoying being a theatre dresser but the hours were certainly getting him down. This way he could work regular hours apart from the occasional evening massage since most of his clients wanted to come in the afternoon before they went on stage in the evening so it would fit in perfectly. Ray told him what the pay would be and when he realised it would be more than he received now he immediately accepted.

"Will Julian be okay with me joining the business?"

"He'd be more than happy; one he's overloaded with work and two he thinks your gorgeous" Ray laughed.

"I have to give a months' notice to quit unless they're prepared to let me go early."

Ray said that was not a problem but when it came to giving in his notice, the agency said he could go once he'd finished the current run which ended in a week's time since there was nothing else on for a week or two. Brendan jumped at the opportunity so within a week he'd moved in his personal possessions from the bedsit and changed jobs. He was feeling on top of the world. Julian was also more than happy to have the gorgeous Brendan coming in each morning even though he was Ray's personal assistant.

Brendan soon picked up the business and was a hit with clients because of his personal skills. Ray also enjoyed having him work with him and having him in his bed every night. He also gave Ray a regular massage which always ended in Brendan fucking him. Ray was sometimes around when Brendan's other clients came and enjoyed listening to the sounds of pleasure as Brendan satisfied their sexual needs at the end of the massage.

One particular guy was called Jason and Brendan used to be his dresser. He came for a massage several times and preferred coming in the evening when he wasn't on stage. Ray got to know him well since he often stayed for a drink after the massage.

"This guy is brilliant" Jason said after yet another very satisfying massage. Ray agreed as he offered him a drink as usual. "Would you guys like to join my partner and I for a pool party next Saturday? We have our own swimming pool and its good fun."

Ray looked at Brendan who nodded so they agreed. "Thanks, we'd love to."

"I should warn you that it gets fairly wild once the drink flows. Phil my partner only allows swimming in the nude and the sessions often end in sexual activity. He also doesn't like using condoms so we fuck raw but we both test regularly. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, suits me" Ray replied and looked at Brendan for his reaction.

"Yeah, why not; sounds good fun."

"I can certainly promise that; Phil loves being fucked and I reckon you two could certainly please him."

With everything agreed, Jason said he looked forward to seeing the two guys the following Saturday evening. "It will be a long session so don't expect to get home until the following morning" he laughed.

When he'd gone, Ray asked Brendan if he was okay about having bareback sex with other guys. He said he was and trusted Jason. He didn't let on that he'd already had bareback sex with him following a massage session some while ago and it was fantastic so he looked forward to having more and being fucked by Phil who sounded an interesting guy.

On the Saturday evening they made their way to Jason and Phil who lived in a very smart house near Hampstead Heath. Money was clearly no problem since the house was enormous and the basement pool was divine. As soon as they were inside the door, Phil was all over them. Both he and Jason were wearing a short robe and were clearly naked beneath.

"Come on in guys and make yourself comfortable; clothes are not allowed at our pool parties" he laughed so the two guests were ushered into another room and told to strip. By the time they'd done so both Jason and Phil had discarded their robes and looked ready for action. Phil led them down to the basement pool where they enjoyed the next hour or more splashing around in the pool and having fun with each other. When they'd had enough of the pool they all climbed out and were soon kissing and cuddling each other. Cocks were now flying high and Phil enjoyed taking both cocks into his mouth whilst Jason lubricated his and pressed it up against Brendan's arse. Every time he'd been for a massage he'd dreamt of fucking the cute young guy who was ten years younger than him. Phil was thirty-two and also loved the younger guy although he also looked forward to being fucked by Ray's big hard cock.

As Jason fucked, Phil sucked until he decided he needed a cock up his arse so invited Ray to do the honours. He bent over a table and Ray lined his well lubricated cock up to the gorgeous entrance on offer. He teased it before plunging his face into the crack and giving Phil a good rimming.

"Oh fuck, yes" he cried. Ray then plunged his hard cock into the arse and gave Phil a good long hard fuck until he'd deposited his first load of the evening.

Jason meanwhile was busy fucking Brendan and enjoying the action just as much. "Oh yes; you've got a gorgeous arse to fuck and the feel of my raw cock inside it is just wonderful."

Brendan agreed as Jason's long hard organ fucked him until he heard him yell out that he was coming.

When they'd satisfied each other's needs, they stopped to have some food which was equally as delicious. When that was finished they went back to the pool and splashed around some more before fucking each other again. It was three in the morning before they finally finished. Ray had used a taxi to get there so they ordered another to take them home. Both Ray and Brendan were well pissed by the time it arrived and by pure coincidence it was the same young driver who'd driven them there.

"Hi guys; had a good evening?"

Ray said they had and noted the guy was coming on to them.

"You're working late" he commented as he climbed in.

"Yeah, but this is my last call."

"Off home are you now" Brendan commented without thinking.

"Unless something more interesting comes along. The night is young." the driver laughed. He'd taken a fancy to the two guys earlier and had reckoned they were gay. He also knew Jason and Phil were so guessed the two guests were too.

Ray looked at Brendan and they grinned at each other having noticed the young guy's interest. "What's your name?"

"Trevor and I'm twenty-six and single" he laughed. Ray and Brendan again picked up on the obvious come on and looked at each other.

"Interested?" Ray whispered to Brendan who nodded his agreement. The young guy was certainly good looking and clearly up for it.

"Nice pad" Trevor said when he pulled up outside Ray's block of flats, "I bet they look good inside" he added to indicate he'd love to be invited in.

"So you're off home now are you" Ray said casually as he paid Trevor the fare. Trevor grinned and said he was unless another offer came along as he held Ray's hand somewhat unnecessarily. "You fancy a drink?" Ray said half expecting the young guy to decline.

"Yeah, thanks" Trevor replied and immediately climbed out of his car.

"Wow, nice place" Trevor commented as he walked in and immediately slipped off his jacket as if planning to stay for a while. He noted that Ray and Brendan removed their shoes in the hallway so he did the same not wanting to get dirt on the deep piled carpet he could see in the living room.

"Make yourself at home" Ray grinned having seen how eager Trevor was and asked him what drink he'd like. He opted for a beer so Brendan grabbed one for each of them from the fridge. Ray let Brendan sit next to Trevor so he could sit and look at the young man. He was certainly good looking and from what he could see had a good body on him. "So, apart from taxi driving what else do you do?"

"When I'm not driving I enjoy myself in whatever way I can" Trevor grinned and casually felt his crotch to indicate what he meant. Ray noticed and smiled. The young lad was certainly not slow in coming forward.

"Perhaps Trevor would like an erotic massage Brendan."

"Wow, are you a masseur?" he asked Brendan having turned towards him and inspected his crotch.

"He is and is fucking good at it plus he does it naked so if you're up for it then he's your man."

Trevor became very excited at the thought of seeing Brendan naked and said he'd love one. With that agreed, the three of them made their way into the massage room and Brendan laid out a clean towel on the table.

"Okay, strip off and we'll get going" Brendan grinned and then said to Ray "Perhaps you'd like to assist."

Ray immediately accepted the offer so also stripped naked whilst Trevor did the same. When all three guys were in the buff and Trevor had given the other two a good looking over, he climbed onto the massage table and laid face down as instructed. Brendan poured some oil into Ray's hand and told him to start on the legs whilst he worked on Trevor's back. Having now experienced several massages, Ray had a good idea what to do so set to work. He slowly moved up and down Trevor's legs and with each pass let his hand wander between them into the young man's crotch. His balls were poking out so he gently massaged them as well. Trevor was in heaven and loved the feel of hands over his naked body. When he'd finished the legs, Ray moved to one side and massaged one buttock whilst Brendan did the other. As they worked they pressed their now hard cocks up against Trevor's naked body. Just the feel of the naked flesh against his caused his cock to go hard beneath him.

When his back was done, Brendan told Trevor to turn over. His cock was now rock hard so immediately sprang to life. He grinned at the other two who continued their massage; Ray up and down the front of Trevor's legs and Brendan across his chest. They each stood at the side of the table and let Trevor feel their erections. His own cock was now jumping up and down with excitement and he was aching for someone to take hold of it.

Eventually Ray held the stiff shaft whilst Brendan gently rubbed a finger across the slit causing the organ to make more erratic moves. Ray then moved to the young guy's balls and kneaded those whilst Brendan concentrated on the lad's cock. After several minutes of kneading and massaging, the cock suddenly shot forth a large ribbon of white creamy cum. Several more followed as Trevor's body jumped up and down excitedly.

When he was spent, Ray looked into his eyes. "Would you like us to fuck you now?"

Trevor gasped thinking the action was over so nodded enthusiastically. Brendan told him to go on all fours at the end of the table so they could fuck him. He quickly did so whilst the other two guys prepared their cock with a condom. When both were nicely lubricated and Trevor's arse had been given a good fingering with each of their index fingers, Branden slipped his in and fucked.

"I'd love both inside me at the same time" Trevor said after a while. The other two guys were up for that so they told Trevor to lay on the floor so that Brendan could sit on his cock and Ray could slip his in behind it. With Brendan's firmly inside, Ray gently slipped his in as well causing Trevor to gasp but enjoyed his arse being filled with two cocks. Ray then fucked and felt his cock rubbing against his lover's. He sensed Brendan was nearing his climax so he increased the pace of fuck until both guys were spilling their load. Trevor was in heaven since he loved being double fucked and never said no to having two cocks up his arse.

It was almost five in the morning when Trevor finally left to go home but he'd enjoyed his time immensely. They exchanged mobile numbers and he returned every so often from thereon for a massage and then a double fuck.

It was several weeks later when the two guys were looking at some of Ray's porn that included some S&M action that Brendan commented that he rather liked the idea of that. Unbeknown to him, Tony had also enjoyed being lightly whipped on his buttocks and being tied up whilst Ray fucked him so he had all the necessary equipment. Having suggested a particular scenario, Brendan agreed so Ray told him to lay face down and tied his arms and legs outstretched across the bed. He then lightly whipped the beautiful butt before inserting a G-spot massager that included an anal vibrator.

"Ah fuck yeah" Brendan cried out as the massager did its work. With the arse nicely open, Ray climbed across him, removed the massager and slipped his rampant naked organ in its place. "Ah yeah, fuck that arse."

Ray smiled as he did just that reaching beneath Brendan's body to grab hold of his erect cock. As he fucked, he massaged the hard cock until both had shot their load.

From thereon, Brendan enjoyed many more sessions of S&M in which Ray tied him up in all kinds of kinky positions before whipping him and then fucking his beautiful arse.

Brendan loved working as Ray's personal assistant and the clients loved him. He also obtained several more clients for his massage service so was more than happy with his new life. Ray too was happy with life and on the anniversary of Tony's death he and Brendan went to the crematorium and placed some flowers where Tony's ashes had been buried.

"I'll never forget you my love even though I've found another who's just as beautiful as you."
