It has been close to a month since my last chapter. I have had a bit of writer's block along with some personal and family matters which distracted me. I was going to write several chapters and then start publishing but I decided that this chapter takes the story to a point that I would like to take it to. There will be more chapters but they may be a bit spaced out in time.
Previously
I started him moving again in and out, hard and fast. His breathing became faster and harder. He moaned my name, shuddered. I could feel him coming in me. It took a few seconds after he was finished and he came out and started to suck me. He stopped and smiled at me as my body tensed. He started again in earnest. My legs went rigid and I started. I think that whatever I yelled was totally incoherent. He shared with me.
"Philipo, you are amazing. You mean so much to me and I would do anything for you."
Philipo stopped and looked at me strangely. He cocked his head. "Anything?"
I felt my eyes start to moisten. "I never thought that I would feel like this with anyone. Yes, I would do anything."
"Would you make our relationship formal and legal?"
I stared at him almost not believing what I had just heard. I had come so close over the last month to asking the same question. I cocked my head. "I have only two questions." He looked at me waiting. "When and where?"
Present
As I woke up and felt his arms around me, I mumbled to my guy. "Did I just have a wonderful dream last night or did I really agree to something?"
"To use use a well known phrase, for better or worse, it was real. Doubts? Said in a moment of passion? Second thoughts?"
I turned over to face him. I looked him in the eyes and kissed him passionately. "Never meant anything more in my life." By this time, I was on top of him and we were both hard.
He looked up at me, almost with a scowl on his face. "Don't you dare tell me to hold this thought. A quickie to seal the deal?"
"The deal was sealed last night, actually a lot earlier than that but a quickie it is."
Quickies can be very intense and this one was. It was so intense that we were both left gasping. In fact, the intensity of the moment was so strong that we were laughing at the depth of our passion as we finished within a minute of each other. He pulled me into a strong embrace telling me how much I meant to him. Then it was a quick shower together. Well it was going to be a quick shower but it took a little longer than usual, oh well. I rang David's room to apologize for being a few minutes late and we were soon off for the day's sessions.
In the hall outside David's room, I had given Philipo a goodbye kiss which was pretty passionate and I think that David saw it as he came out of his room. David did give me a look. San Francisco was playing hell with my self control. Well that and the secret that we had agreed to keep until we told the family.
We met a lot of people and picked up a lot ideas both from the presentations and from our talks to others between sessions. I could tell that we could use many of the ideas as we started up that side of the firm. In fact, David pointed out several things that we could do to start looking through Philipo's accounts as our first real forensic account. We both took a lot of notes, ideas, names of books, articles and delegates names in our iPads for reference back home.
While there were still a lot of sessions left, I felt that the trip was already worth it from the firm's perspective. Then my mind drifted to the other important event of the trip. I was engaged. I wanted to smile and yell it to the world.
Lunch was provided and Michael had suggested that we eat together. We met him and he introduced us to Brandon Philips from Tucson. Brandon apparently had been very eager to go for a night dancing and carousing in the Castro. Around the same age, he was a bit taller than David and just slightly bigger. He was cute as hell. He had lovely hazel eyes and was a strawberry blonde. When he smiled, he shone. He and David talked together the entire meal with lots of discussion of the sessions and about personal likes and dislikes. It was obvious that we would have a good night together.
"Did you set me up boss?"
"My question is, did you like him?"
"What's not to like?"
"To be honest, Michael asked me if you would mind going dancing in the Castro." I paused trying to look very serious and forthright. "I may have indicated that you would like a young, virile, stunning man to be with us." I slapped him on the back. "Just enjoy the evening and it goes the way it goes. No tales will be told from our time in SF. You have lots on me." We both smiled at each other. It suddenly struck me that I had another young man who I admired and who I wanted to be part of my life. David seemed high for the rest of the day at the sessions.
Friday night in the Castro. It was something else. It was a beautiful summer evening and the streets were thronged with tourists and locals. I noticed that Michael and Stephen had arms around each other. They looked hot and so relaxed. When we looked at them and then at each other, we each put arms around the other. David and Brandon were walking close but not touching each other. They talked excitedly as we walked to one of the better restaurants in the the area.
The place was packed but Michael had phoned for reservations. The food was great and the service excellent. It didn't hurt that our waiter in his twenties was cute as hell and yet professional. He smiled as we left telling us to have a great evening.
We went to a club that Stephen had heard about and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip. It had an excellent disk jockey who played a great variety of fast and slow, old and new songs. By 11:30 the place was hopping. We had danced with each others partners and had danced literally all night.
We started to lose all our inhibitions, maybe I should say even more. On one piece, Philip had turned me around and had pulled me into him. I could feel the heat of his body and a hardening cock in my ass. We danced as one. I could feel the kisses on my neck and I turned at one time and we kissed. His hand kept on going lower and lower until his fingers were on my belt. He muttered that if were alone he would undo it and there would be action. I felt the fingers several times find and briefly touch my very hard cock. We were high by the time the music changed. I turned and kissed him deeply. I didn't want the night to end.
We went back to the table. Michael was sitting there with Stephen holding hands. He smiled at me. "You two are hot as hell. That last dance was something else. I am so happy for you."
I looked at Philip and he nodded yes. "Can you keep a secret?" Michael and Stephen both nodded yes. "This guy proposed last night and I accepted."
They were on their feet and hugging their congratulations. They asked if David knew. I shook my head and muttered a secret until our families were told.
At the mention of David's name, I scanned the dance floor. The guys could not have been dancing closer. Both had their hands on the others ass. I looked at Michael. "It looks as if the blind date has worked. Well done, Michael."
A few dances later, David and Brandon came to the table and they looked at us. Brandon started, "Guys, I have to be at the centre fairly early tomorrow. David and I are going to go. We'll see you tomorrow morning?"
"David be careful; remember last night. Let me know if you want to share the cab tomorrow morning," The guys left hand in hand.
"Very subtle James. Well done. Last night?"
Philip spoke up. "This guy, pointing at me, saved our hides last night. Two guys insulted us and were going to beat us up. Jamie got their attention and disabled the first guy and David, the smart bugger, tripped the second one and we subdued him. The police arrested them and they think they have them for an assault two weeks ago in the same area. Luckily there were lots of witnesses"
Michael and Stephen's eyes opened wide. "I am so sorry that it happened to you. I assume that you have taken self defence courses." We nodded yes telling them that David had as well.
We had a few more dances, one especially, the last slow dance when I felt as if we had become one body, we were so tight together and so in sync with our dancing. We left thanking Michael and Stephen for a great, memorable evening.
We heard David's door open and close early the next morning and a little later he rang to tell us he would meet us for the cab ride. His face was aglow when me met in the lobby.
"Boss, thanks so much for having me along. One of the best times that I have had in a long time."
I looked at him; maybe it was time to say some things to him. "I hope that I see more of this David in the office. I think that it is time that you open up to the staff. You are bright and have a lot to offer." I made no comments about Brandon. I would let him talk to me about that when he wanted. I watched the two of them at lunch. It was clear that they had made a bond. Shame that they lived 5,000 kilometres apart.
At the end of the sessions, David let me know that he would not be going on the tour. Brandon was leaving the next day and they were going to spend the rest of the day and part of tomorrow together seeing San Francisco from Brandon's point of view. Brandon had been to San Francisco a couple of times helping with the organization of the conference. I didn't comment that Brandon's views might be very interesting. So instead, I smiled and said that I understood completely. We agreed to meet for supper the next night.
The tour was excellent. I especially loved the boat ride to Alcatraz but what a godforsaken place. Of course, it was even more desolate with no living souls inside; the place felt so cold, damp and dreary. However, the ride on the bay and the views of San Francisco were spectacular. We enjoyed the piers at Fisherman's Wharf and the short walk around Ghiardelli Square and so much more. We promised ourselves a ride on the cable cars the next day and just wandering around some of the areas that we had passed through on the tour.
We thought that we might go into some jewelry stores to look at rings. I had some names from Michael who knew the city pretty well. Some were in the Castro so they would have a good selection for men and we were assured that the names that we were given were reputable.
I have to say that after the dancing and closeness of the evening, we got even closer in the early hours of the morning. It was one of those nights that we took turns sharing our bodies and we ended up sleeping contented until after 8:30 in the morning. The shower took a little while longer than usual as we ended making love in front of the mirror in the bathroom and needing a final shower before we dressed.
We went into several jewelry stores on our way to the cable car museum and took cards for the stores for the rings that we liked. The choices were incredible and we had fun. It was just so enjoyable discussing choices and styles with guys who were gay or very gay friendly. In one place, I am certain that one of the guys would have hit on Philipo if I hadn't been there. Philipo claimed that all the guys were giving me the eye. It was engrossing and we had to remember not to hold hands when we left the area. We went back in the afternoon to the store that had really caught our eye and purchased rings for each other.
David had a happy but regretful look at supper that night. He told me as were walking back to the hotel that he had not met anyone like Brandon since his second year of university. He had met someone then who had really hurt him when the guy had just broken it off months later for what David thought were strange reasons. It was obvious that this meeting with Brandon had been what David needed for his self esteem and just for the total enjoyment of their time together. There was talk of meeting sometime but David was realistic that he was not leaving the city where he was close to his family and he had his plans for the new side of the firm. Brandon was from Southern Arizona and was not about to leave. As we say in French, tant pis (oh well or too bad).
We saw him off the next day and we spent our last day wandering and finally going back to the store where we had bought our rings. They had been able to size them that day. They were magnificent. We had splurged on gold ring with really interesting settings with the beautiful jade stones. I was surprised that we had both chosen the same gem stone but we ended up with different colours. Philipo's was little larger than mine as his hands were bigger. He had suggested a smaller but very elegant ring for what he said was suitable for my smaller but elegant hands and fingers. We had decided to size the rings to our ring finger of our left hand. We each wanted to use it as our wedding ring. Luckily both of us could wear it on the right hand for the present.
That night we had a great meal and then had come back to the hotel. We had sat looking out the window of our room and drinking the last of the liquor that we had bought. Philipo pulled me over to him and he held me close. It felt so good to be close to him and to be wanted and needed. I turned and kissed him. It was a gentle kiss but soon turned into something more. I looked up at Philipo and his eyes were shut and he looked as if he was totally involved in the kiss. I ran my hands through his hair. His eyes opened and he broke the kiss smiling.
"You know, you have the odd, good idea." I looked at him questioningly. "This has been a magical few days. You and David have obviously learned a lot and we have connected in a different way. Can I make a crazy suggestion?" I shrugged my shoulders, intrigued. "I would like to use the money that Pops gave us at Christmas and go to Europe in mid to late August and take Jeremy with us. We could go to France, you and Jeremy speak French and then we could go to Italy to visit family. We could send Jeremy home from there and then we could spend some time together. I would like it to be our honeymoon."
"Wow, perfect. You really are a special person. I think that it would be great for Jeremy and us. Let's break the news to the family and plan everything around the wedding and the trip. We could have the wedding on the weekend and then leave for Europe. It would certainly make for an exciting summer. Little did I know just how exciting the summer was going to be.
I stood up and pulled Philipo into me and held him tightly kissing him. Then I undressed him, away from the window. I still had some self control left. Times like this just seem to happen. We felt so close to each other at that moment that every touch and comment was heightened. We roamed each other bodies until we were both so sensitive that almost any touch made the other moan.
"Jamie, I need you." He almost sounded desperate.
I felt exactly the same. "Then later, I'll need you. Deal?"
"Oh yeah!"
I told him that I didn't want anything fancy. I wanted on top so that I could see him and kiss him. I felt so incredibly sensitive as I entered him. His body was pulsing and surrounding me, almost massaging me. I wasn't sure how long I could last. His hands were all over me and I finally stopped any in and out movements and lay over him just kissing him.
I finally held my head up. "I guess I have told you how lucky I was that you approached me that night to dance. I was pleased and proud of you when you agreed to come out to your parents. It was wonderful that morning when Tony asked you if I was friend or more than a friend. It only took you a few seconds but I held my breath. I was proud of you and Tony. I came to realize what a wonderful family that you had and the depth of passion you had. Oh and you are sexy, sexy, sexy."
Philipo looked at me for a second, "You have no idea how much turmoil I was in after that first night together. I wanted to see you again so badly but I figured that you had to make the move. Then you asked if this was a one time demonstration of my special powers; you wanted to see me again. I was so relieved. I was so happy that day that you met my family for the first time and figured out how to deal with them and especially Mamma. And that night that you met Jeremy with Father Gregory, I knew that you were the man for me. Oh and the Christmas party when you introduced me as your partner. So many memories and now you are willing to take me on for life." There were tears in his eyes that I kissed away.
I slowly started moving in him and finally we finished with cries of passion and joy. Later that night, he woke me to take me. We woke the next morning to shower and dress and then just lingered over breakfast. We walked around the Castro and finally boarded our flight and arrived back home in the late afternoon.
At the bottom of the escalator near the carousel was Jeremy looking so you young, fresh and eager. I grabbed him and hugged him hard. "It was great to be away but it is great to see our guy. Thanks for coming."
"I know what a good time you had. Almost had to restrain David at work. The entire office saw a totally different guy today. You learned so much. You beat off muggers? You danced the nights away and ate incredible meals. I understand that there is a very interesting guy in Tucson. Yeah, I got the news and then some. Apparently, the boss is quite a guy ... but I already knew that."
Then he was over to Philipo. I think that Philipo lifted him off the floor. Jeremy's smile was so bright as we talked and finally spotted our bags and were soon home. Jeremy had cooked a pot roast; he confided that there were several calls to Mamma but he did it himself. It was delicious and was just what we needed, good home cooked food.
We had decided that we would tell Jeremy even before the family. As we sat with a glass of wine and some dessert that he had bought, we chatted about his week at work.
Finally, I looked at him. "We have some news for you that even David couldn't spill because we didn't tell him." I paused smiling at him with my eyebrows raised. 'Philipo proposed to me on our trip and I accepted."
It was interesting to see his face go from neutral to questioning and then to absolute joy. He was up and grabbed both us, pulled us to him and hugged us. Man, the construction work was really building him up; it was some hug."
He asked the obvious question, when.
"Well that is the interesting part for you. We are thinking mid August with a trip to Europe immediately after." He was smiling big time. "But there is more. We really want you come with us for part of the time. Don't worry we'll get some time alone. You can leave to come back to start your university properly and on time and we'll stay for a while by ourselves."
"But I need the money for school and you guys should be alone."
"Jeremy, I don't think that you know how much you mean to us. Pops gave us a lot of money at Christmas for a trip and your coming won't add that much more. We want you to have the experience now when you can and you are young. Don't worry about the money for university, that will be there if you need more."
I think I could see tears forming in his eyes. I went over and grabbed him. "We really want this. It will be so formative for you. Time in Paris and France and then Italy, Rome and northern Italy where Philipo's family is from. Different cultures and ways of looking at life! More important than 2 weeks at work. We have discussed this thoroughly between us. Deal?" He looked lost for words. "I'll take that as a yes. Now we need to get you a passport immediately. Oh by the way we are going to tell the family on Sunday after church. You are the only one who knows."
"That explains the rings that don't quite fit your fingers right now. I have seen you both turning the stones back into place. They are beautiful. You had them sized for the other hand."
"You are damned observant and right on."
The next couple of days at work catching up were very busy for both of us and we both came home late each night. It was nice to grab some food on Friday and met the guys at the club.
We told them of our exploits and the Castro and the wonderful feeling in San Francisco. We danced some of the hot dances that we had danced in SF. Tom commented on our rings and I just told him that selection was incredible and the prices good. So we decided to buy them.
Tom looked at me. "I watched you dance tonight. I have never seen the two of be so demonstrative."
"Tom, you have no idea how uninhibited it was being able to walk around the Castro holding hands or arms over shoulders. The jewelry stores were staffed by gay guys or gay friendly with an incredible selection of men's rings. The dancing was truly incredible. We actually had someone tell us that we were hot." I started to chuckle.
"Take my word for it, they were right."
I enjoyed the church service and had a great welcome back from Father Gregory who talked to Jeremy for quite a while about his work week. We didn't have time to cook so we brought some antipasto, really nice olives and some salami. Mamma as usual said that we shouldn't have done it. I just gave her my look and she laughed giving me a kiss.
Lunch ended and as everyone was about to get up, Philipo said that he had some news. He had everyone's attention. "This will come as a surprise but I hope not a shock. Something happened in San Francisco." He looked around the table at quizzical faces except mine and Jeremy's. "I watched my partner and saw in him in so many different new ways that I realized just how lucky I was. I want to make a public statement about it. I asked him to marry me. He only paused a few seconds and he said yes."
The table erupted with surprise and congratulations. Both Mamma and Pops were on their feet. Mamma gave Philipo a huge hug and Pops, to my surprise, did the same to me. Then they changed positions. Mamma whispered in my ear that she could not be happier and she kissed me. We had their blessings. That was really important to me.
They were excited when we outlined our plan. Our only regret was that we could not have it in our church. We had decided on a private service in a small reception hall. There were ministers who would officiate for occasion like this and we had some leads. We had already made some enquiries about locations and Pops had some connections and he would look as well in the Italian community. Our biggest regret was that Father Gregory could not officiate but we had decided to invite him as a friend and colleague.
We were high for the rest of the day and I took my guy to bed that night telling that we had to practice for the honeymoon. Oh, it was going to be a great honeymoon if the practice indicated anything.
We left for work the next day agreeing that we could tell whoever we thought that we should tell. I asked David to come to my office at the end of the day.
He had his usual look of what had he done wrong. I would have to work on him to not have that automatic reaction to a call to see me. He had come in with several file folder but they had been put aside as I told him what had happened in San Francisco. He was excited and was vocal with his congratulations but I could tell that something was bothering him.
"David is there something you want to tell me and I pointed to the file folders."
"Boss, sorry to dampen the spirits. I have done a lot of work on Philip's company using some of the standard techniques and some things that I learned at the conference. He has a problem and I think that it is significant."
